The corner of his lips raised slightly, and he raised his hand to scratch her small nose. Since she changed her identity as the princess of Zhongluo, he saw her cheerfulness which was very different from before.
There is a sparkling light in her eyes, confident and dazzling, which is what Chu Jiaoli once lacked.
He wasn't sure if she could come back, but the way she died on the bed, with her eyes closed tightly and no longer angry, was a scar in his heart forever. As long as she was well, he could ask for nothing.
.
Two days later.
Beigong Tengxiao sat by the window, turning the pages of the book with his slender fingers, looking fascinated.
A burst of light and small footsteps slowly approached. Chu Jiaoli sat affectionately on his lap, nuzzled into his arms, and said with a smile: "Brother Tengxiao, what are you looking at?" p>
Beigong Tengxiao hugged her naturally and said softly: "Medical book."
"Huh?" Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly, turned to look at the densely packed complicated words and patterns on the pages of the book he was turning, and asked in confusion, "What do you want to see here? Do you want to be an imperial doctor?"
”
"I have become somewhat interested in medical skills recently."
"That's it... then I wish you the best when you return from your studies, and I will call you the imperial doctor brother from now on!" Chu Jiaoli joked.
Beigong Tengxiao chuckled and said: "Nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Ling stepped into the house. Chu Jiaoli looked up at him. Her black outfit was torn in several places, her neatly combed hair had a few strands hanging down, and there were some dirty marks on her face. She was a little surprised. She hadn't seen Jing Ling in recent days, so why did she look like this when she saw him...
"Did you fall into a trap?" she couldn't help but ask.
Jing Ling coughed lightly and said, "Back to your Majesty, no..."
He walked quickly to Beigong Tengxiao, handed him a grass with red fruits in his hand, and said: "Your Highness, this lava blood fruit has been successfully picked back."
Chu Jiaoli looked at him from top to bottom again, her eyes were complicated, this was not going too well...
Beigong Tengxiao raised the corners of his lips slightly, looked at the comparison between the fairy grass and the patterns on the book, nodded slightly, and said: "There is a reward."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Chu Jiaoli reached out and touched the fruit and said, "What is this for? Do you want to make soup? It looks pretty good."
"Don't touch it!" Beigong Tengxiao pulled her hand down vigilantly and said, "This fruit is highly poisonous before it is cooked and should not be touched."
"Oh..." Chu Jiaoli nodded obediently, and then frowned in confusion. Why did he bother to find such a dangerous thing?
"So, what does this thing do?"
Beigong Tengxiao smiled lightly and said: "Secret."
Ever since he found out about Chu Jiaoli's behind-the-scenes, Beigong Tengxiao no longer wanted to alert others.
She has identified ten kinds of precious immortal herbs in her antidote. If she can make the antidote herself and get rid of the control of the Yousheng Sect, there will be nothing to worry about.
Chu Jiaoli pouted slightly and murmured: "So mysterious..."
Jing Yue ran into the house in a hurry and reported with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the capital. Your Majesty wants you to hurry back!"
Beigong Tengxiao's black eyes darkened in an instant, what was supposed to come was finally coming.
Chu Jiaoli stood up immediately and said, "Then we have to pack our luggage quickly. We have indeed stayed here for too long."
If it was an urgent report, could it be that Bei Gong Lie was angry? That is not unreasonable. Bei Gong Tengxiao was ordered to go to Nanyue Kingdom to discuss important matters, but he was almost delayed because of rescuing her. After returning to Beiming, he also messed around here a lot.
days.
Beigong Tengxiao stood up, raised his hand and rubbed her head, saying: "Drink a glass of water before leaving."
"Yes." Chu Jiaoli nodded slightly and sat at the tea table.
Seeing Beigong Tengxiao pouring water for her, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. It would be great if she could stay here forever. She didn't want to go back to the imperial capital, face A Xuan, and face the imperial power she was forced to practice.
Water magic, facing... Mo Wuyou.
She sighed without trace, drank the water in the cup, stood up, and said: "It's time to set off."
Before she had taken a few steps, she felt dizzy and her limbs went limp. She was immediately supported by the person behind her and hugged her up.
The world was spinning, and her head became even more dizzy. She raised her eyes and looked at Beigong Tengxiao in front of her, who had turned into several double images.
Did he just drug her?!
She frowned, bit her lip tightly to keep herself awake for a moment, and said in confusion: "Why..."
There was an emptiness in her heart, and she didn't know why. She had an uneasy feeling that as long as she closed her eyes, she would never see him again.
Bei Gong Tengxiao pursed his thin lips slightly and frowned slightly. He forgot that Chu Jiaoli was different from the past. Such a strong coma drug had not yet knocked her out instantly.
Looking at her persistent but slightly distracted gaze, his deep and magnetic voice sounded: "Wait for me."
Chu Jiaoli grabbed his collar tightly and inadvertently strangled his neck.
He frowned slightly, turned around and put her on the bed.
Chu Jiaoli's fingertips holding his collar turned white and trembled a little.
"Let's go..." she said with difficulty.
Why! Why abandon her?!
Beigong Tengxiao leaned over and kissed her frowning forehead. After a long time, the strength of the collar gradually loosened, and the persistent hand fell down weakly.
When she woke up, there were some residual tears in the corners of her eyes.
She had a terrible nightmare. She dreamed that Beigong Tengxiao abandoned her and disappeared without a trace...
The memories before coma suddenly flooded into her mind. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.
Beigong Tengxiao left, leaving her alone.
Standing next to the bed was a woman in black clothes, with a high ponytail and a cold and beautiful face. Chu Jiaoli recognized her, but they didn't know her much. She was Jinglan, one of Beigong Tengxiao's protectors. p>
She glanced at Chu Jiaoli, lowered her head and said, "Madam, you're awake."
Seeing that Beigong Tengxiao had left behind an important protector, Chu Jiaoli breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How long has His Highness been gone?"
"Going back to your Majesty, Your Highness hurried back to the imperial capital after your Majesty fell into a coma. Your Majesty stayed in a coma for a day and a night."
Chu Jiaoli's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the bright light, she thought she had only slept for a few hours...
Day and night, the distance between Beigong Tengxiao and her has become very far.
She frowned and lay back on the bed. This was Beigong Tengxiao's room, and his scent that she relied on still lingered on the bed...
She sniffed it with attachment and said, "Did His Highness send you to look after me?"
"Empress, my subordinates are ordered to protect you."
"My martial arts skills are higher than yours and I don't need your protection."
Jing Lan was silent for a moment, and then said: "In addition to protecting the empress, His Highness also ordered his subordinates to take care of the empress. They are not allowed to return to the imperial capital without an order from His Highness."
