Chapter 329: Capsize in the Ditch

Ye Wuque got off the carriage, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he turned around and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Madam, please."

The word "Madam" sounds awkward no matter how I hear it.

Xie Zhuoning was not used to his intimacy yet and wanted to avoid him. When he stood up, his feet were weak and his body was limp. He could not muster any strength at all.

So this is what he meant when he said feed him something that would make him behave himself.

She sighed, "Ye Wuque, I already said I'd go with you, why are you so defensive against me?"

Can people still have some trust in each other?

Ye Wuque also sighed, "Xiao Cao'er, it's not that I don't want to give you the antidote, but this soft muscle powder is specially made by Xi Chu, and it must be taken there to use a special medicine to cure it. If you were willing to go with me earlier, how could I be willing to use medicine on you?"

So it turns out that she is to blame?

Xie Zhuoning curled the corners of her lips coldly. She didn't believe a single word Ye Wuque said.

She extended her hand and said, "Then Prince, please catch me well and don't let me fall."

"Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt even a little bit."

The two looked at each other, both smiling with forced smiles.

Because he was so weak that he had no strength left, after getting off the carriage, Xie Zhuoning could only half lean on Ye Wuque's body, almost completely relying on him to support him as he moved forward.

There were several horse-drawn carriages parked outside the inn, loaded with goods, with the "Qing Ming Xuan" emblem printed on their flags.

As soon as Xie Zhuoning and Ye Wuque entered the room, the waiter immediately came to greet them attentively.

"Dear guests, would you like to have a quick meal or stay overnight?"

The guard beside Ye Wuque immediately took out some change and threw it over, "Open a few rooms for us."

"Okay, everyone follow me."

The waiter led the way. There were several tables of guests sitting in the lobby.

Xie Zhuoning glanced at it inconspicuously, thinking in his mind how to pass the message back to the capital.

Of course, she would not really go back to Xichu with Ye Wuque. Her family, her friends, her roots, and everything she coveted were all here. How could she bear to leave?

Even though she verbally agreed to Ye Wuque, it was only to relax his vigilance.

But it is obvious that I don't trust him, and he may not trust me either.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts and her body felt weak that she stumbled when she went up the stairs to the second floor.

Although Ye Wuque was quick to pick her up in his arms, the veil on his head fell to the ground.

This movement attracted a group of people in the lobby to look over here.

Ye Wuque immediately showed a concerned expression, "Madam, are you okay? I told you not to be stubborn when you are sick, so let your husband carry you up."

Carry her up in front of everyone?

Xie Zhuoning rubbed her cheeks and almost squeezed out words from between her teeth, "I can still walk, so I won't bother my husband anymore."

They claimed to be a couple to the outside world, and Ye Wuque used threats and inducements to force her to cooperate in order to avoid arousing suspicion.

Unexpectedly, he became addicted to acting. "We are husband and wife, so why should we talk about whether it is tiring or not?"

As he spoke, he pinched her waist with a little force, the threat was obvious.

Xie Zhuoning forced a smile and said, "Thank you very much, my husband."

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and I endure it.

The word "husband" made Ye Wuque feel happy and relaxed. "It is an honor for a husband to be able to serve you."

Having said that, he picked her up and went upstairs.

When the guests heard their conversation, they thought it was just a couple flirting and didn't pay much attention to it.

Only at one table were there several big men wearing the same clothes, and among them was a fat man in brocade clothes.

He stroked his mustache, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the two receding figures with malicious eyes.

"Go and find out which room the lady lives in."

The subordinate immediately showed an expression of understanding, "Hey, Second Master, are you interested in her?"

Their second master likes married women the most, especially when he sees a pretty and charming one, he can't even walk.

As soon as the lady's veil fell off, their two masters' eyes widened instantly.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you go?" The man called Second Master glared at his men, feeling extremely itchy in his heart.

In his entire life, he had never met such a stunning woman, gorgeous but not coquettish, charming but not vulgar.

Whether it's appearance, voice, or figure, everything is perfect.

If he doesn't want to have sex with her, he will be unwilling!

Soon, the man came back and whispered in his ear, "The waiter said that the lady lives in room number two, with her husband. The others are guarding rooms number one and three on both sides, and they take turns to rest. They all look like martial artists, and they are not easy to deal with. The waiter said, get a price."

The second master listened with disdain, saying that anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

He threw out a heavy bag of silver and said, "Tell them that silver is not a problem. If they succeed, I will give them another reward."

"Well, I'll go talk to the shopkeepers right away."

The sky soon darkened and the moonlight became pale.

Xie Zhuoning hadn't washed for more than a day. He smelled stinky all over and frowned in disgust.

"I want to take a shower!" she said.

Ye Wuque immediately asked someone to fetch her some water and considerately found her a new set of clothes.

I have to say, when he's not crazy, he's pretty normal.

Just as she finished her sigh, she saw him standing in the house, motionless. Xie Zhuoning frowned and asked, "You're not going out?"

Ye Wuque looked innocent and bewildered, "Why did you go out?"

She suppressed her throbbing eyes and asked, "Are you going to watch me take a shower here?"

"You are my wife, so why not? Playing in the water together is also a kind of romantic interest for couples."

Seeing that he still had the nerve to laugh, Xie Zhuoning sat back on the chair, "Forget it, I won't wash anymore. I'll be a beggar and stink you to death!"

Anyway, he is with me day and night, so if I want to feel hateful, I can't be the only one who feels hateful.

Ye Wuque smiled and stood up. "Oh my, Xiaocao'er, it's just a joke, why take it seriously? I'll go next door and come back after you finish washing."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

For a moment, Xie Zhuoning was the only one left in the room.

While taking a quick shower, she secretly wondered how to get the message out.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a bamboo tube poking through the window paper and inserted into the room.

Immediately afterwards, a puff of white smoke blew into the room.

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows when he saw this. What's going on?

Without giving it any thought, she immediately slipped into the bathtub and sank into the water.

She emerged from the water only when she was almost suffocating, and the poisonous smoke had already dissipated.

Just after taking two breaths, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

Faintly, one could hear the men talking in low voices.

"Is everything done?"

"It's done. They put knockout drugs in the food, and for safety's sake, they also blew smoke. Everyone fell down."

"You've charmed the beauty too, so what's the point?"

"Don't worry, Second Master. The dose she took was not too heavy. She will wake up after taking an antidote. I guarantee you will have a great time."

"Haha, this is a good job!"

Xie Zhuoning was surprised when he heard these words.

Ye Wuque and his guards were all experienced warriors, but they ended up capsizing in this tiny ditch?

Just as I was thinking about it, the door creaked open and the man called Second Master walked in...
