But her whole body was soaked, even her hair was dripping with water, and the water on her clothes was soaked with mud and stuck tightly to her body. The night wind blew over, and she was shivering with cold, but she couldn't care less.

, walking slowly and groping in the mud silently and mechanically.

In the quiet night, the sound of water floats into the distance one after another.

She didn't know how long it had been since she arrived, but Mu Qingwan seemed to hear someone calling her name——

"Mu Qingwan!"

The voice seemed familiar. She looked up blankly at the source of the sound. She had been bent over for too long. When she stood up straight, she suddenly felt dizzy. She staggered back and then managed to stand still.

Looking blankly at the person who came, he saw that familiar handsome face. At this moment, his face was as dark as ink, which looked even more scary in the dark night.

Why was he so angry again? Could it be that during the time they left, Biying was chewing her right and wrong in front of him again, thinking that she had hurt his beloved woman, and came to her in the middle of the night to settle accounts?

She smiled bitterly, her face was as pale as paper, her hair was wet and stuck to her face, and she looked embarrassed.

However, now she no longer has the strength to pursue what he wants to do.

She quickly lowered her head again, bent down and began to search.

There seemed to be a sound of water in her ears, causing waves of ripples, and the water in front of her also shook. She did not raise her head, and continued to search mechanically in her hands until her hand was held by a strong force.

Then he dragged her whole body up:

"Damn woman, what on earth are you doing?"

Xia Houlie looked at her face, which was as pale as a ghost, and a surge of anger surged through her limbs. He gritted his teeth and glared at her and shouted.

As he got closer, he could clearly see how embarrassed she was at this moment. The Mu Qingwan who was so beautiful that he saw in the garden in the afternoon had completely disappeared. At this moment, her hair was disheveled, with a strand of hair hanging around.

Strands hang down on the shoulders, and are even dripping with water. The eyes are swollen and the lips are white.

He had never seen her in such a miserable state, and his heart began to throb.

Mu Qingwan looked at him with her eyes, but her pupils were unfocused, like a ghost wandering in the dark night. Her voice was very erratic as she murmured:

"The jade pendant...the jade pendant fell off..."

Jade pendant! It’s Helian Hengzhi’s damn jade pendant again!

Xia Houlie closed his eyes, feeling that her weak voice was like a violent roar, hitting his eardrum, and he felt that his temples began to beat violently, and the pain was severe.

He finally couldn't bear the pain. He didn't care about the wet mud all over her body. He suddenly grabbed her body with his arms. He pressed her heavily into his arms and pressed her on his chest, as if he wanted to use it.

Her presence makes my heart no longer hurt so much.

Mu Qingwan was shivering from the cold, and was suddenly embraced into his warm embrace. She sighed comfortably and let him hold her without any struggle.

Xia Houlie noticed that her whole body was as cold as ice, and suddenly he picked her up from the mud and started to leave. Mu Qingwan started to struggle, but fortunately Xia Houlie had quick eyesight and hugged her tightly, so that she didn't let her fall completely.

The man fell into the pond. When he regained his balance, he was angry and uncomfortable. The stubborn woman who looked down from above said angrily:

"Look at what you've become? Do you want to freeze to death?"

She pushed his chest, staining his clean clothes with mud. Her voice was extremely hoarse, but there was a hint of stubbornness:

"Let me down quickly, I want to find the jade pendant..."

Xia Houlie knew that her stubborn temper had flared up again. He gritted his teeth and stared at her, wishing he could slap this damn woman to death!

After trying hard to calm down his anger and impulse, he said: "You are looking for a jade pendant, right? OK! I will help you find it!"

Mu Qingwan's body stiffened, and then she looked at him in disbelief, only to see that he had raised his face. Looking up from his arms, he could only see his firm chin and the graceful contours of his face, under the shadow of the lamp.

Very confusing.

When Xia Houlie saw that she had calmed down, he continued walking forward. When he reached the shore, he did not stop. He hugged her straight and walked to a nearby house.

Mu Qingwan quickly struggled:

"No, I won't leave...I want to watch you find..."

The vein on his forehead twitched hard, he closed his eyes and said:

"Why don't you hurry up and see the imperial doctor to see if you're like this?"

She tightened her grip on his clothes, "No, it's okay, I don't want to leave..."

She wanted to see the jade pendant found with her own eyes, otherwise, she would not be able to settle down at all.

"You should rest peacefully first. I will find someone to drain the water in the pond tomorrow. The jade pendant will naturally..."

"No, I'm going to find it tonight!"

She might get poisonous at any time tonight, and she can't wait until tomorrow.

"Don't worry about me, I'll go find it myself." She said and began to struggle to get down. Xia Houlie held her down and compromised:

"Okay, you go and sit in that room first. Open the window and you can see me."

Mu Qingwan followed his gaze and looked over. The palace next to it was indeed not far from here, and the entire pond could be seen from the window. This was specially designed so that the masters could see the scenery of the lotus pond without going out.

Moreover, she felt really uncomfortable, so she could only nod her head and let him carry her to the room.

Xia Houlie ordered someone to dry her body and change her clothes. He also made a decoction to dispel the cold. He watched her take it and her face gradually turned rosy. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and carried her to the window sill to sit down.

, and put a cloak on her to keep out the cold, and then walked outside.

Mu Qingwan, besides looking for the jade pendant, was feeling weak all over and her mind was confused, so she obediently let him take care of everything for her.

She sat by the window sill and watched quietly as Xia Houlie walked step by step to the edge of the pond, then entered the water and began to bend down and explore...

Some thoughts seemed to flash through her mind, but there seemed to be nothing. It was just that she seemed to have forgotten that as Xia Houlie, there was no need to go into the water to find the jade pendant herself.

After Xia Houlie ordered people to add a few more lanterns by the lotus pond, he sent them all away. The wind blew on the lake little by little, causing ripples. In the shadow of the lamp, the man who was proud and indifferent, as noble as a god, could be seen.

The only man was still bending down to search in the pond, and as he moved, there was a sound of water.

She looked at the scene in front of her silently, and her eyes began to blur little by little.

This man owns the whole of Beiyan. Everyone who sees him shouts, "Long live the mountain". He wears silk and satin, lives in a splendid palace, and can control people's life and death with just one word. Such a proud man, he has never

You've never bent over, have you?

But now, for her, he bent his noble waist, and his long and beautiful hands, which were like works of art, went deep into the dark and smelly mud, !

Enough, enough!

Before her life was about to end, she could see his thoughts, what else could she ask for?

She just felt that her whole body seemed to be floating in the clouds, and her chest was filled with emotions. Gradually, it turned into tears bit by bit, dripping down in clusters, soaking the cloak she was wearing, which was still covered with tears.

There was still a familiar smell of ambergris, and she hugged her tighter, letting his scent wrap her tightly, as if he was hugging her.

She sat quietly, thinking. She didn't know how long it had passed. From a distance, she seemed to see a happy smile on his face, but in the blink of an eye, she returned to indifference. She looked at him slowly.

He walked out of the water and slowly walked towards himself.

At this moment, he was covered in mud and soaked clothes clinging to his body. You could clearly see the strong and graceful outlines of his body. Even though he was so embarrassed, he still looked like a king wearing gorgeous clothes and being worshiped by his subjects.

He quickly walked into the room and opened his palm towards her. The phoenix pendant lay safely in his palm.

She reached out to take it happily, but he quickly retracted his hand and clenched it into a fist, and looked deeply into her eyes:

"You spent the whole afternoon looking for this Fengpei in the pond?"

Mu Qingwan raised her head and looked directly into his eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time before nodding.

Xia Houlie felt that the blood all over his body began to surge, a surge of ecstasy ran from the soles of his feet to his hair, and his entire chest seemed to burst because of the thought in his mind:

She cares so much about this Feng Pei, which means that she cares about him! She is not dismissive of him!

However, despite the turbulence in his heart, his face remained calm. Only the slightly trembling voice revealed his true emotions at the moment:

"When the imperial grandmother gave it to you, didn't you hate it? Don't you think it is a bondage that restricts your freedom?"

Mu Qingwan smiled slightly, stood up, raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, "No, it no longer only imprisons my freedom, but also my heart!"

"You mean...ahem..."

Xia Houlie coughed excitedly, and his whole body was trembling. His face gradually turned pale. Seeing him like this, Mu Qingwan panicked, and hurriedly supported him, and called someone to help him sit next to him.

He sat down on the chair and put his hand on his pulse.

Oops, the pulse is abnormally disordered, which is a sign of poisoning.

Xia Houlie held her hand tightly and looked at her crazily, "Qingwan, tell me, what did you mean by what you just said...ahem..."

He coughed violently again, and after coughing, the corners of his mouth were covered with blood. Mu Qingwan only felt a loud bang in her head: He was coughing up blood again!

Tears fell quickly, quickly and urgently. Mu Qingwan hugged him, touched his handsome face, and said in a panic: "Please, stop talking, stop talking..."

The imperial doctor rushed over quickly. Mu Qingwan used his golden needle to stabilize Xia Houlie's heartbeat, quickly changed his dirty and wet clothes, and burned several pots of charcoal fire in the house until it was warm.

After confirming that his body was getting warmer little by little, she felt relieved and wanted to prescribe a prescription for him, but she didn't expect Xia Houlie to hold her hand:
Chapter completed!
