Chapter 35 The sky is falling, but Huo Xingchen still has his mouth to support it
We are going to Yaoshen Mountain tomorrow.
Qingqiu and Qingning began to pack the things they would need for the journey.
Seeing that his young lady was so sleepy that she started to yawn.
The two of them were very tactful and quickened their pace to pack up.
Qingning said with a smile while packing.
"Miss, you are sleepy so early. The servants should clean up quickly so that you can rest early."
Mingyue yawned again.
Wearing red gauze pajamas, she leaned lazily on the bed.
She snorted softly, like a delicate little fox.
"Well, Qingning, you actually dare to laugh at me."
Qingning chuckled and lightly slapped his own palm.
"Yes, yes, Miss, don't be angry. I deserve to be punished. I will hit myself."
Qingqiu shook his head and smiled indulgently.
It's like watching two ignorant kids fighting.
The hands kept moving.
I quickly packed the things I would take with me tomorrow.
Qingqiu walked to the bed worriedly.
I tucked the corner of Mingyue's quilt to prevent her from catching a cold.
Worried, he reminded her, "Miss, please don't kick the quilt in the middle of the night to cool down."
He then gently touched Mingyue's forehead with the back of his hand.
"Fortunately, I don't have a fever. The judge said that if I had a fever, the wound would worsen and the toxins in my body would attack faster."
Mingyue was lying on the bed, with only her little head exposed.
She was so sleepy that she couldn’t even open her eyes, like a well-behaved porcelain doll being played with by Qingqiu.
Her long eyelashes blinked like a beautiful butterfly flapping its wings. Her unmade-up face looked even more beautiful and charming under the light, yet revealed a bit of cuteness because of her tiredness.
Qingqiu's heart was about to melt.
How come my lady is so cute?
"Alright, alright, Qingqiu, I'm not a baby anymore. You and Qingning should go and rest too. You don't have to keep watch. We're in the enclosure palace now, so there's no danger. We still have to travel tomorrow, so you two should rest too... Okay... Huhuhuhuhu~"
The sticky and soft voice became slower and slower.
In the end, I fell asleep.
Qingqiu and Qingning then lowered their footsteps and tiptoed away carefully.
Close the door quietly.
Little did they know.
Not long after the two left, the window was easily opened by a black figure.
He rolled over and entered the room.
In her dream, Mingyue dreamed that she became the queen, second only to the emperor.
Enjoy the supreme honor of being worshipped by everyone.
The dream is bubbling beautifully.
Even in real life, he chuckled.
Suddenly, I felt like a hand was gently caressing my cheek.
Mingyue woke up with a start.
But I dare not open my eyes.
Could it be an assassin in the middle of the night?
No, it can't be an assassin.
The assassin had already stabbed with a sword.
Could it be a flower thief?
Mingyue's three souls were almost scared to death. If he had known this earlier, he would not have let Qingqiu and Qingning leave.
I was thinking about how to kill this assassin.
A familiar deep voice sounded.
"I know you're awake, but I'm still pretending to be asleep."
This voice...Huo Xingchen!
Mingyue's courage suddenly returned. She opened her eyes and saw Huo Xingchen sitting on her bed in a nightgown, staring at her with obscure and complicated eyes.
Thinking about how scared I was just now.
Mingyue immediately got angry and slapped him.
“Bang!!”
In the silence of the night, the sound of slapping became more distinct and clear.
"Are you sick? You're sitting next to someone's bed in the middle of the night pretending to be a ghost. You scared me, don't you know that?!"
Huo Xingchen remained silent and just sat there without saying a word.
Mingyue calmed down after venting.
Look him up and down.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Suddenly, Huo Xingchen raised his eyes, his eyes seemed to be as dry as if they were sunken in a pond, totally inconsistent with the high spirits of a man of his age and status.
Like a desperate old man.
Mingyue was stunned.
Huo Xingchen looked away in time and looked down at her quilt.
Since their reunion, she had always seen Huo Xingchen as either a war god general full of murderous intent or an unruly little prince, and he had never looked as miserable as he did now.
That’s right, down and out.
It's not even as lively as when they were at their poorest in Xiaoyun Town.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Finally, Huo Xingchen spoke.
"You...you feel about the prince..." He hesitated and continued, "You don't like him, right?"
Perhaps feeling embarrassed after saying this, Huo Xingchen turned his face away.
When he returned home today, he kept thinking about the way Mingyue looked at the prince. It was seductive and teasing, something he had never seen before.
I have been feeling uneasy.
After three years apart, they have both changed.
He didn't know whether Mingyue really fell in love with the prince.
After all, the prince's attitude seems to have changed.
It seems that she can only be herself when facing Huo Xingchen.
If it were before, she would definitely say directly that she liked the prince.
Anyway, it's almost the same. She really likes the prince, and she likes whoever the prince is.
But looking at Huo Xingchen like this, she suddenly felt a little reluctant.
"No, but I like being a queen."
Such a simple sentence is like good medicine.
Huo Xingchen, who had been listless just now, suddenly became full of energy because of these words.
It was as if he had become the famous war god, the King of the North.
His eyes glowed brightly.
"That's good that you don't like it. That's good that you don't like it. Well, you can rest now. I'm leaving now. We have to go to Yaoshen Mountain together tomorrow. I will definitely help you get the antidote. If the poison doctor doesn't want to, I will definitely not let anything happen to you, even if I have to raise an army to attack the mountain."
Just as he was about to leave, he stopped.
Uncomfortable explanation.
"Well, I just think that even if you die, it can only be in my hands. Don't think too much. I didn't mean anything else when I asked you if you like the prince. It definitely doesn't mean that I still have feelings for you!!"
The words fell.
Climb out the window and leave.
Looking at the closed window, Mingyue shook her head and smiled.
"Fool! You still say you don't like me. What a big liar."
Then he lay down and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Huo Xingchen is still Brother Xingchen.
Even if the sky falls, Brother Xingchen will still hold it up.

"Have you heard? Tomorrow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to Yaoshen Mountain with the Second Miss of the Ming family to seek help from the poison doctor to cure the poison."
"The Second Young Lady is truly righteous. She risked her life for Da Xia to prevent His Royal Highness from getting into trouble, otherwise the court would be shaken. Some people have previously said bad things about the Second Young Lady, but I think they were just jealous of her stunning beauty, whose beauty and grace astonish the world."
"But didn't the Crown Princess go there too? Rumors say the Crown Princess and His Highness are deeply in love. Why didn't the Crown Princess block the sword for His Highness? Is this love real or fake?"
Several maids were talking about it.
In the end, they all stopped at why the Crown Princess was present but did not help His Highness block the sword, but instead the rumored vicious Second Miss risked her life.
"What? What did you say? It wasn't Minglian who blocked Huo Chenyuan's sword? It was Mingyue?"
A surprised voice questioned the little maids who were discussing the matter.
It scared a few people.
A little maidservant patted her chest and looked up and down at the woman who suddenly appeared.
"Of course, this matter is known to everyone, and you actually just found out about it. The second young lady of the Ming family is righteous and kind, and it has spread throughout the enclosure and the capital. Where did you come from, you country bumpkin, and you don't even know this."
Until a few maids left.
The woman was stunned.
She is Zhao Tingting, the girl who traveled through time and space in a book. In her previous life, she didn’t even finish elementary school and had to work. She wanted to be a mistress but was caught cheating by the original wife. When she fled in a hurry, she was hit and killed by a truck.
After her death, she traveled through time into a book and became the concubine's daughter of a seventh-rank official.
Why has the plot changed so much now?
In the original plot, it was the younger sister Minglian who blocked the sword, and then the relationship between Minglian and the prince became even warmer.
The Queen also completely accepted Minglian.
This laid a solid foundation for Minglian to become the queen in the future.
This is a key plot point.
How did it become like this?
No, she has to go tell Meibao that she still wants to cling to Meibao and enjoy the good life.
Thinking of this, he quickly sneaked towards the yard where Minglian was.
