Chapter 286 Become a Concubine for the Young Lady
Coal Hill is outside the city of Beihai Prefecture. When the city of Beihai Prefecture was in chaos that night, Xu Shuo realized something was wrong, but he didn't know what had happened and didn't dare to do anything rash. He just strengthened the patrols around Coal Hill and led people to check it out personally... Unexpectedly, he picked up several people who were seriously injured and unable to walk along the way.
May, February, March...June, July...
Those people were seriously injured and covered in blood, and there were pursuers behind them.
Xu Shuo led the coal mine guards to kill the small group of pursuers and rescued the people, but those people were still thinking about their master.
Xu Shuo, having received favors from the Shen siblings, naturally would not back down. He asked the coal mine patrol guards to send those people back to Coal Hill to hide, and he, despite his injuries, led his men to chase after them.
I didn't find Chen Ning, but I found Yuan Yue who was unconscious on a low slope in the wilderness.
Not far away, there were dense flames that were reflected back.
No longer able to look for anyone, Xu Shuo rescued Yuan Yue and hid her in the coal mine... When Hua Yingxue's steward taught the people to dig cellars to store food and people, Xu Shuo was also careful and dug a cellar in his yard above the coal mine.
I didn't expect it to come in handy...
Chen Ning didn't dare to trust anyone now. She took Shuchi Yan and a group of Wulan cavalry and headed straight for Coal Hill. When she saw Yuan Yue and others being moved from the cellar to the outer room, tears came out of her eyes.
"Xiao Qi..."
Shen Ning took a few steps forward and hugged Qiyue. She saw a deep bloody wound on the little girl's cheek from the corner of her eyebrow to the corner of her mouth. If it was any deeper, it would probably split half of her face in half.
You can imagine how thrilling it was at that time...
Shen Ning's hands trembled slightly and she didn't dare to touch him. She asked in a trembling voice, "Does it hurt, Xiao Qi? It's all my fault. It's all my fault."
Qi Yue's eyes were also red, but she still tried to smile and comfort Chen Ning: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all. It doesn't matter if you're hurt. It's a great thing that I can still see the young lady alive."
After Shen Ning finished hugging July, she saw February, who turned his head away uncomfortably next to July. She paused for a moment and reached out to hug the boy.
"It's great that you are all still here. It's great... it's great..."
Eryue's eyes were also a little red, and she tried to look calm and composed: "We're fine, we'll be fine in a few days."
Beside her, May smiled and said, "Miss, I want a hug too..."
Shen Ning reached out and hugged him while laughing and crying. The boy smiled and said, "Wow, it doesn't hurt anymore."
June muttered quietly, "Flatterer."
Shen Ning let go of May and hugged June: “Our little Liuzi will also have a hug.”
June's face turned red, and she couldn't even think about scolding May anymore...
Standing at the back was Yuan Yue, who was also the most seriously injured. The young man had one arm hanging over his shoulder. He met Chen Ning's gaze and managed to curl his lips: "Miss, I'm fine too..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Ning stepped forward and hugged him.
In order to avoid hurting the boy, Shen Ning hugged him carefully and patted him on the back. For a moment, he was speechless.
She had thought she was going to lose them, but she hadn't expected to see them again... The joy and gratitude of regaining them, as well as the intense fear, made her feel extremely complicated. She gently patted the boy and sighed hoarsely, "It's great, you're all okay, it's great!"
If she lost them, she would never be at peace in her life.
Being hugged by the person she had thought about day and night but never dared to look at, Yuan Yue's eyelashes trembled violently. Her intact hand froze at her side, her fingers trembling several times, but in the end she did not hug him back...
He knew she was not someone he should touch.
She treated him as a family member and trusted him wholeheartedly, but he harbored such shameful thoughts. How could he be worthy of her love for him and them?
Behind him, Shuchi Yan spoke softly, dissatisfied: "Sister, I want a hug too."
Facing Chen Ning's unfriendly eyes, Shu Chiyan stiffened his neck and said, "I was injured in the previous fight. Look here... Oh no, here... Wait a minute, I'll show you..."
Shuchi Yan tossed and turned there, trying to find some wound on his body, but failed.
The young wolf king was so ferocious that even after the fierce battle, his skin was not even scratched.
Qiyue said sarcastically, "We are all family members who treat the young lady as their sister, so we can hug her... What the hell are you thinking, you bad bird?"
Shuchi Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Little Qiyue, you are so mean and your face is disfigured. Be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future..."
Qiyue sneered: "It's none of your business. I won't marry you anyway."
Shuchi Yan was about to retort, but suddenly curled his lips: "Everyone treats Ningning as a sister and a family member... I don't think so..."
As he said this, he looked meaningfully at Yuan Yue, who had a tense expression.
Compared to others, they are all teenagers. When hugged by Chen Ning, they are either shy and happy, or their faces are full of touching... No matter what emotion they are, they are all outward and frank.
Only this one is called Yuanyue.
The moment Chen Ning hugged him, his body stiffened, his eyelashes trembled violently... his stagnant breathing and chaotic heartbeat were almost visible to the naked eye.
With such obvious throbbing, Shuchi Yan didn't believe at all that he had no other feelings for Shen Ning.
He pointed it out deliberately because he wanted to see Yuan Yue lose her composure, and even deliberately let Chen Ning discover the rebellious heart of this subordinate beside him... It would be best if he could be driven away.
Just Xiao Nanchen was enough. The wolf cub couldn't stand the other eyes around Chen Ning.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shuchi Yan finished speaking, Qiyue yelled and kicked him: "'You are the one who called me Ningning?'"
Shuchi Yan was kicked so hard that he could only retreat to avoid the attack. Later, Yuan Yue's tense body finally relaxed.
He knew what he looked like, and if he paid attention he could tell something was wrong... but he had tried his best.
It’s just that some things are too difficult to endure, even if you have to stay still or even stand far away...but you can’t hide the look in your eyes at all.
It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to control his desire to see her...
Chen Ning placed Yuan Yue and others on the carriage and prepared to take them back to the palace. Before leaving, she made a special trip to find Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo was also injured. When he saw Chen Ning, he quickly stood up and was very respectful. When he saw Chen Ning take a half step back and salute him solemnly, Xu Shuo was immediately shocked and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, Your Highness, you are embarrassing me."
Chen Ning said seriously: "They are family to me. They were able to be saved this time, thanks to Lord Xu. This favor will be remembered by the king."
Xu Shuo's face flushed with nervousness, and he could only say, "Your Highness, you are too kind."
When Shen Ning went out, she saw Xu Ying coming with a medicine bowl. Xu Ying bowed quickly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Chen Ning already knew how Xu Ying had saved Yuan Yue and the others before... Maybe Xu Ying did it to save her brother, but she accepted the favor.
Shen Ning nodded politely to Xu Ying: "Miss Xu."
After Shen Ning left, Xu Ying turned around and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.
Even when Chen Ning was just a village woman doing business in the county town, she had never been so polite and courteous to call her Miss Xu... But now, Chen Ning is a high and mighty prince, but he treats her so politely and courteously.
Therefore, in Shen Ning's eyes, what makes her valuable is not their identities, but her character.
It was also at this moment that Xu Ying suddenly felt as if she had come back to life...
Just as Shen Ning went to find Xu Shuo to thank him, Qiyue looked at Yuanyue quietly beside the carriage.
"Brother Yuanyue, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Yue looked up at her.
July sniffed: "Do you like the lady?"
In a word, Yuan Yue's already pale face lost all color, and her usually restrained expression almost broke.
Qiyue hadn't expected that her words could have such devastating power. She quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I won't tell anyone else."
When Yuanyue managed to calm down, Qiyue couldn't help but whisper: "What's there to be afraid of? If you like her, then you like her. I like the lady too and want to stay with her forever."
Yuan Yue was silent for a while, then his voice became hoarse: "This is different."
"Of course I know it's different."
Qiyue curled her lips and said, "I'm a girl, you're a boy. My love is to be with you forever, never to be apart. Your love is to do with you what the King Ding did to her..."
"July!"
Yuan Yue gritted her teeth and said, her voice almost trembling: "I didn't!"
July was also frightened by Yuanyue's appearance: "I, I, I, I was just talking nonsense..."
Yuan Yue almost couldn't keep his composure.
But the next moment, he heard the little girl next to him say again: "Even if there is, it doesn't matter. The young lady is already a prince. She can have three wives and four concubines. Men can have three wives and four concubines, so why can't women? If you can't have one, you can be a concubine for the young lady..."
Yuan Yue closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "Will you shut up?"
Qiyue was a little reluctant, but seeing that her elder brother Yuanyue seemed to be on the verge of collapse, she had to reluctantly stop: "Okay then."
July calmed down, and Yuanyue slowly recovered from her previous trance...
