Chapter 138 What are you doing to me?
"Drug?"
Wen Yi seemed to have grasped something important, his eyes darkened, "What do you mean by drugging? I just said poisoning."
"Poisoning... poisoning is different from drugging. Stop quibbling over words and trying to frame me!"
Lin Miaomiao was obviously panicked when she heard this. "This matter has nothing to do with me. Lord Shen can testify for me. I want to see Lord Shen."
Wen Yi chuckled, "But Lord Shen said in person a quarter of an hour ago, in front of the Emperor, the Princess, General Huo, and Lord Lu, that he and you separated after leaving the private room. He didn't see you leave Zui Xiang Lou with his own eyes, and he has no idea where you went or what you did."
The moment the voice fell.
Wen Yi did not give her another chance to argue. He winked at the two people who came forward to hold Lin Miaomiao, and left the warm room.
When the carriage stopped at the gate of the princess's mansion, Su Yunyao was lying on Huo Xiao's legs and had fallen asleep.
Originally, he had some romantic thoughts in his heart, but looking at her sleeping profile, he smiled helplessly and dotingly.
He carried her horizontally out of the carriage.
When they arrived at the bedroom, Huo Xiao changed her into pajamas and covered her with a quilt.
But I...
He looked down at himself.
I silently said in my heart, damn it.
He just wanted to go back to Ling Xiaoxuan to take a cold shower.
Pearl came over with a look of shock on her face as she saw that he did not stay in the princess's bedroom.
She bowed and saluted, "General Huo, aren't you going to rest in the princess's bedroom tonight?"
Huo Xiao's eyes flashed with an unnatural look. He put his fist to his lips and cleared his throat. "This general is afraid of soiling the princess's bed. I want to go back to Ling Xiaoxuan to bathe before coming to accompany the princess."
Pearl suddenly realized, "General Huo, there's no need to be so troublesome. I'll have someone boil some hot water right away, and General Huo can just take a bath in the princess's bathroom."
A princess's bathroom?
"This... seems against the rules." Huo Xiao hesitated.
"It's not against the rules." Zhenzhu pressed her lips. "General Huo has already entered the mansion, so he can definitely use the princess's bathroom. If the princess knew tomorrow that General Huo returned to Lingxiaoxuan so late to bathe, I'm afraid I'd be scolded by her."
Huo Xiao felt his ears burning, and he uttered a faint "Hmm" through his nose.
After a pause, he added, "No need to bother, just prepare a bucket of cold water for this general."
pearl:……
She was speechless.
Cold shower in the middle of winter?
Is this to show the general's iron will?
Doesn't he really feel cold?
Even if I complain like this in my heart.
Zhenzhu still prepared a bucket of cold water as Huo Xiao instructed.
It's late at night.
When Huo Xiao walked out of the bucket of cold water, it was already the hour of the Rat.
He wiped his body clean and lay down beside the princess. Listening to her shallow breathing, he supported his head with one hand and turned his head towards the direction where the princess was sleeping.
His fingertips lifted up her loose hair, revealing her fair neck.
It was just the red plum blossom on her neck that made Huo Xiao's fingertips pause heavily.
He clearly remembered that this mark was not made by him, so...
Huo Xiao took a deep breath to suppress the sourness surging in his chest.
He hooked open her collar with his fingertips and placed his lips on the plum blossom, deepening the red plum mark.
Perhaps it was because he had just soaked in cold water, there was still a cool breath between his lips.
Su Yunyao couldn't help but shrink her body and turned over.
She kissed him on the lips in a daze.
Huo Xiao's eyes widened in an instant, and his body suddenly stiffened. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have woken the princess."
After he said this, he quietly waited for the princess's punishment.
After all, if the princess discovered his little thoughts just now, she would definitely think he was jealous.
He waited for a long time, but instead of saying anything, the princess held his arms even tighter.
Huo Xiao's tense heart slowly relaxed. He lowered his eyes and stared at the princess's sleeping face for a while, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.
He was testing the waters so cautiously, fearing that he might displease the princess.
He waited until the princess responded from her half-asleep state before he mustered up the courage to deepen the kiss.
The night is long, yet seems short.
He was about to be sent to Dongling Pass again, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to Shengjing City.
The time he spent with the princess always passed quickly.
Before he could kiss her enough, the princess fell asleep.
Before he could hug her enough, it was already dawn outside.
"Princess, General Huo, the carriage is ready. It's time to go to the Huguo Temple."
Su Yunyao would not wake up at this hour, but Huo Xiao stayed awake all night.
"knew."
He got out of bed, tidied his clothes, then held the princess in his arms, helped her change her clothes, and carried her to the dressing table before letting the maid in.
He lowered his voice and instructed Pearl, "Prepare some food and put it in the carriage. If the princess wakes up and feels hungry, she can have a bite."
"Yes, General Huo."
Agate combed Su Yunyao's hair, and Zhenzhu came back again.
Huo Xiao stared at the two of them and asked curiously, "I remember that the princess had a personal maidservant. Why didn't I see her today?"
Pearl and Agate looked at each other.
Pearl said, "In reply to General Huo, Coral made a mistake and has now been transferred out of the inner courtyard by the princess. Now, only Manju and I are serving her closely."
Make a mistake?
Huo Xiao did not continue asking questions. He was afraid that asking too many questions would disturb the princess in his arms from sleeping.
He simply picked her up horizontally and asked Pearl to wrap her in a cloak before walking towards the carriage.
When Huo Xiao carried Su Yunyao out of the princess's mansion, he found that the emperor had arrived.
He paused slightly, as he didn't expect that the emperor would come without informing anyone.
Wu Jixiang opened the carriage curtain and said, "Your Majesty, General Huo and the Princess have come out, but..."
He looked troubled, and after struggling for a long time, he continued, "The princess was carried out by General Huo, and she seems to be still unconscious."
emperor:……
He was speechless and waved his hand.
Wu Jixiang retreated with a fake smile on his face, "General Huo, quickly carry the princess to the carriage. It's so cold, don't let her get frozen."
Huo Xiao knew that this was the emperor's intention, so he didn't act pretentiously. He just nodded in return and got on the carriage.
Su Yunyao was lying on Huo Xiao's legs. She was awakened by the bumpy ride when the carriage was halfway there.
"Where is this? What are they doing to me?" Su Yunyao slowly sat up straight, rubbed her eyes, and looked around. Her thoughts seemed to be pulled back. "Is this carriage moving so slowly? Haven't we reached the princess's residence yet?"
Huo Xiao: ...
"Princess, it's already early morning. You're on your way to the Huguo Temple..."
