Chapter 458 She is Poisoned

Pei Qingning pouted her lips instantly, thinking: "This man is really vicious. When I find Princess Yongle and become her court lady, he will have a hard time. Humph."

"Princess Yongle is not an ordinary woman. She is much more powerful than ordinary men. She is also the person I admire the most and the one I want to follow the most. I went to Xichu just for her."

"This man was so cruel to me and almost made me fall off the carriage. I, I've remembered everything. I will tell Princess Yongle about it and ask her to help me vent my anger."

Qin Nian glanced at Pei Qingning and saw that she was frowning and angry. She was holding on to the wall of the carriage carefully, as if she was afraid of falling off. So she said, "Hold on tight. We have to continue on our way."

"We can't stay any longer."

Qin Nian was anxious to see the body of the Mermaid Saint.

"...Well, okay." Pei Qingning agreed reluctantly. From childhood to adulthood, she had never sat in this position of driving a carriage. Even her maid didn't sit in this position, but she actually sat in it. How angry!

She really wanted to rush in and sit with Jiujiu and the others, but she was really afraid of Dijiang.

This man has a cold appearance and exudes a cold aura, which makes him scarier than her arrogant father.

Just forget it and sit down.

At this moment, Pei Qingning sat down tremblingly, and kept holding on to the wall of the carriage carefully. Her appearance was completely different from when she had just rushed into the carriage.

Seeing this, Qin Nian deliberately drove the carriage slower to give her time to adapt.

When she got used to it and was no longer so scared, Qin Nian asked her, "Miss, what's your name? Why are you being chased?"

"My name is Pei Qingning. As for why I was hunted by someone, I..." Pei Qingning was unwilling to reveal too much to outsiders, even to their benefactors, because her affairs were not trivial. If she was not careful, it would bring about greater disasters.

She hesitated and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Qin Nian said: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Everyone has their own secrets, and you don't have to tell them."

"...Thank you for your understanding." Pei Qingning looked at Qin Nian in surprise.

Inside the carriage, Dijiang and Jiujiu also heard the conversation between the two. They looked at each other, laughed it off and did not delve into it any further.

As Qin Nian said, everyone has their own secrets, and they don’t have to be told.

But they also stopped talking about these national events.

The two started reading.

At noon, they passed by a forest. Several people got off the carriage, caught rabbits nearby, and roasted them for food.

Pei Qingning kept saying that rabbits are so cute, why should we roast them to eat, while gnawing on two rabbit legs.

She also looked at Jiujiu and muttered in a low voice: "This girl is very beautiful and seems to be quite skilled. She looked so cool when she shot rabbits with arrows, but she doesn't seem to be very good at cooking. The rabbit meat she just roasted was old and not tender!"

"If it's Princess Yongle, she must know everything when she travels all over the world, and she must be able to roast rabbits very, very deliciously."

"I really wish I could eat the rabbit she roasts, or I could roast it for her!" Although she didn't know how to roast a rabbit.

"What are you mumbling about?" Jiujiu asked when she saw Pei Qingning whispering with a dreamy look on her face.

Pei Qingning said, "Nothing, benefactor, are you thirsty? Qingning will find you some fruit to eat?"

"Look, there are a lot of fruits in the forest."

Although Pei Qingning complained that Jiujiu's roasted rabbit was not fresh and tender, she still respected Jiujiu in her heart and was very grateful to Jiujiu for saving her and taking her in. Therefore, she was willing to put down her status and act like a servant to find something to quench Jiujiu's thirst.

Jiujiu nodded, "Yes, I'm a little thirsty."

"Then benefactor, you wait."

"I'll be right back."

Pei Qingning happily went to pick fruit from a tree not far away.

Jiujiu looked at her jumping around, looking so cute, and laughed too.

"I don't know why such a lively and lovely girl would be hunted down." Jiujiu was puzzled.

Di Jiang said, "The hairpin she wears on her head has a flower on the end, which is very well carved. It can be considered as the ultimate carving. It should be from the Pei family in Zhongzhou, because the Pei family is best at carving flowers on jade, and they are also in the hairpin business."

"I think this girl is from the Pei family. If I'm not mistaken, she should be the daughter of the Pei family in Zhongzhou."

"Otherwise, such an exquisitely carved hairpin cannot be worn on her head."

"It's her." Jiujiu said, "The Pei family in Zhongzhou is also on good terms with our Xichu. No matter what happened to the Pei family, it's only right to take her in for a while."

"Yeah." Di Jiang agreed.

Just as the two finished talking about this, Pei Qingning came back with a bunch of brightly colored fruits. She had one in her mouth and was chewing it as she walked forward.

When she got to Jiujiu and Dijiang, she put down the fruit, found a huge one and handed it to Jiujiu, "My benefactor, eat the fruit."

"This fruit looks pretty, but..." Before Jiujiu could finish the word "poisonous", Pei Qingning suddenly fainted, foaming at the mouth and with purple lips.

"What happened? Why did he suddenly fall down?" Di Jiang was puzzled and looked around vigilantly.

"She's been poisoned." Jiujiu hurriedly took out the gold needles from her bag and gave her acupuncture to detoxify her.

Half an hour later, Pei Qingning woke up and realized that she was poisoned after eating the poisonous fruit. Seeing Jiujiu putting away the needle bag, she knew that it must be Jiujiu who saved her.

She got up and hugged Jiujiu, crying, "My benefactor, you saved my life again. You are really my benefactor!"

"I really want to repay you for saving my life, but I have nothing now and cannot repay you. So, I will wait until I find the person I want to find, take refuge with her, and then ask her for help."

"Okay." Jiujiu responded with a smile, "Will you let me go?"

“Don’t let go, don’t let go.” Pei Qingning said, “Let me hold my benefactor for a while longer. My benefactor smells so good, my benefactor is so warm, and it’s so comfortable to hold my benefactor…”

Pei Qingning held Jiujiu for a long time without letting go.

Di Jiang saw this scene when he came back from looking for water. He had always felt that Pei Qingning had bad intentions by hugging Jiujiu at every turn, and he was afraid that he had some special hobby and liked girls.

Now seeing Pei Qingning taking advantage of his absence to hug Jiujiu again, and not letting go for a long time, hugging her so tightly, he became even more suspicious.

He hurried forward, pulled Pei Qingning away, and stood in front of Jiujiu, reminding Pei Qingning seriously, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you touching me?"

Pei Qingning looked at Dijiang in confusion. She liked to hug people when she was happy, so why did anyone care about this?

"Who are you to her? Why do you care so much?" Pei Qingning asked with a pout.

Pei Qingning is not bad looking. When she pouts and looks angry, she looks very cute, lively and full of spirit.

Jiujiu looked at her and thought: [This Pei Qingning is pretty! ]

【I like.】

Dijiang: “???”

What?

She likes it?
