Chapter 38 This woman is very capable
In the carriage.
Huo Xingchen gently placed the person on the couch.
Then he said with a smile, "Don't pretend, I know you are not dizzy."
Mingyue opened her eyes and snorted.
"Haha, you're so amazing, you figured this out."
Huo Xingchen raised his eyebrows evilly.
Expresses confidence.
"Why are you pretending to be faint?"
Mingyue, "I don't want to waste time with them. I just want to detoxify myself."
Huo Xingchen hesitated for a while, then spoke.
"You've seen it too. The Crown Prince is... wavering. He still has a place for Minglian in his heart. Do you still want to choose him? He's not a good match."
Hearing this, Mingyue smiled and glanced sideways, then simply turned sideways and supported her cheek with one arm.
She looked at Huo Xingchen with charming eyes.
"Oh? Then who do you think is a good match?"
Being looked at like this by her.
Huo Xingchen's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously and his ears turned slightly red.
Look away.
"No, no one. Anyway, I won't stand here and let you choose. There are countless ladies in the borderland who want to marry me. I am just giving you a piece of advice based on our past friendship."
Mingyue was too lazy to tease her.
She doesn't have to choose the crown prince.
The prince is dirty.
She doesn't like dirty men.
But I want to change the ending of my dream.
She had to rise to the top.
Hold power.
Only in this way can you prevent yourself, your parents, and important people from dying tragically.
"Who made him the prince?"
Huo Xingchen glanced sideways, and there seemed to be a sadness in Mingyue's eyes that he could not understand.
It shouldn't be like this.
The little girl he raised should always be free and unrestrained.
Because he... is the prince?
Huo Xingchen lowered his eyes, a seed in his heart gradually breaking through the soil, waiting to grow into a towering tree in the future.

The group continued on their journey.
Mingyue thought about what had just happened and recalled Minglian's various expressions.
Keep recalling various details.
Consider the fundamental reason behind Minglian's change.
Qingning grumbled in dissatisfaction while making tea.
"What is that Minglian pretending to be? She acts like she's in control of the situation. She really thinks she's nothing. Your Highness the Crown Prince must be blind to see the good in the young lady, so he fell for her trick."
The bright moon seemed to be awakened in an instant.
"Qingning, repeat what you just said."
Qingning thought that her mistress thought she was right, so she asked her to say it several times, and then she repeated it with a smile.
"I say Minglian is putting on an act, thinking she's a nobody, looking down on us because we're so high and mighty. She's acting all sorts of strategists, but she's so insincere. Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fooled by her. My lady, I believe Your Highness will definitely see through her mask. By then, you'll still be the Crown Princess, and you'll be the Empress who rules the country in the future."
Mingyue didn't listen to Qingning's next words.
It was like I suddenly understood all the key points.
yes!
No wonder she never figured out what was so strange about Minglian.
Minglian was so superior, and even looked at her with a bit of pity. Wasn't that the same as when she knew the plot?
That kind of confidence that comes from being able to plan and control everything.
Mingyue clapped her hands.
He murmured, "I see."
Qingning scratched his head.
Don't understand what happened.
Is she already so good at talking?
Just a few words can make the young lady happy?
Only Qingqiu looked thoughtful, thinking about what was wrong with Minglian today.
Naturally, she also noticed the changes in Minglian today.
Just don't know why.
Look at the lady's expression.
You should have a clear idea of this.
Then she felt relieved.
Picking tea leaves with peace of mind
*
One evening.
After three days of traveling.
Everyone finally arrived at the foot of Yaoshen Mountain.
There are still eleven days left before Mingyue's poison takes effect.
There are also only eleven days left before Minglian's next aphrodisiac effect.
Along the way, Minglian did not find fault with Mingyue again.
But he often looked at Mingyue with an inexplicable look of confidence, contempt and pity.
Mingyue sneered in her heart.
Just ignore it as if you didn't see it.
So what if she knew the plot? She didn't think she would lose to that bitch Minglian!
Now that you all know the so-called plot, it all depends on your own abilities!
That night, everyone rested.
Prepare to set off early tomorrow morning to go to Yaoshen Mountain to ask the poison doctor for detoxification.
After the meal, we went to rest directly.
Several men lived nearby to keep watch in case anything unexpected happened.
The woman slept in the carriage.
late at night.
Everything is quiet.
The sound of footsteps came straight to the crowd without any intention of hiding.
But everyone was still asleep, with no sign of waking up.
Even the dozens of secret guards around were the same.
A man in white clothes, who looked like an immortal, passed by Huo Xingchen and Huo Chenyuan as if he was in an empty space.
He walked up to Gu Chengfeng without lowering his eyes, stepped on Gu Chengfeng's hand and walked past him.
He walked up to a carriage and knocked.
The voice is as gentle as jade.
"Why, you need your elders to come down to pick you up when you get home, and you even brought such a group of people back with you. Did you become more capable after going out?"
"Don't pretend to be unconscious. That medicine won't help you."
The carriage still did not move.
The man in white stroked his sleeves.
The soft chuckle sounded particularly ghostly in the silent night.
The eyebrows are slightly raised.
"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, everyone here will die."
Ning Yao in the carriage spoke hurriedly, sticking her little head with a messy sleeping hairstyle out from behind the curtain.
"Uncle, stop! Hehehe, I'm coming out. I was just joking with you. Don't be angry. Hehehe, I'm coming down right away!"
Ning Yao put on her clothes as quickly as she could in her life.
He jumped out of the carriage with a messy hair.
Hehehe, smiling ingratiatingly.
Others may not know, but how could she not know?
Her uncle kept his word.
It would be fine if these people died.
Her sister Mingyue and Qingqiu, who treated her very well and combed her hair and fed her delicious food, must not die.
I muttered to myself.
The reason why she is resistant to this drug.
It was because her uncle didn't even let her, his niece, go, and tried many medicines on her.
Ning Yao smiled ingratiatingly.
"Hehehe, little uncle, I'm just going out to have some fun! It's not dangerous. Look, I'm fine!"
Ning Fengyun's long hair was half tied and half loose, gently blowing in the night breeze.
Blow up the ends of your hair.
It really is like a fairy under the moon.
Clear and cool like the moon, lonely and cool like the night.
Turn around suddenly.
"Go home. If you dare to sneak out again, I'll break your legs."
Ning Yao hesitated, stood still, and looked at the carriage reluctantly.
Her sister Yue is still here, and based on her uncle's personality, he will never save anyone.
Sister Yue only has eleven days left before the poison takes effect.
no! !
Ning Yao mustered up her courage.
"Uncle, I want to take someone back to Yaoshen Mountain."
The man who just now looked like a banished immortal glanced sideways. His profile was gentle, his nose was high, but his eyes were as cold as the moon in the sky.
"Yaoshen Mountain never brings outsiders up the mountain. If anyone does, they only bring dead people. Do you want me to kill her?"
Ning Yao shook her head like a rattle.
She trotted two steps and carefully grabbed the man's sleeve.
"Uncle, please, I was able to go out this time thanks to Sister Yue. She took me home, fed me delicious food, dressed me in beautiful clothes, and treated me so well. She was poisoned this time, and only you can cure it. Uncle, please save her."
Hearing this description.
Ning Fengyun immediately came up with conspiracy theories.
"Maybe she already knew your identity and was being nice to you on purpose just to get closer to me."
Ning Yao's mouth twitched.
"Uncle, that's impossible. She doesn't know who I am, and... you're not worthy of her. She's so beautiful."
Of course, she didn't dare say the last two sentences out loud.
Ning Fengyun didn't hear it clearly either.
But seeing how persistent Ning Yao was.
He also became wary of this woman.
Ning Yao was raised by him and seems carefree and innocent.
In fact, my mental defenses are extremely high.
He doesn't open up easily and never pleads for mercy.
She was the first one.
This woman was able to protect Ning Yao in less than two months.
This woman is very capable!
It’s okay to take it away.
If there is anything unusual, it is convenient to kill it directly.
*
Mingyue woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar room.
I called out to Qingqiu, Qingning, Ningyao, and Huo Xingchen several times, but no one answered.
The uneasiness in my heart gradually spread.
Is she being held hostage again?
Where is this?
