The dark eyes reflected the sleeping face, making the slightest ripples.
The overall situation of the Nangong family has been decided, and the internal fighting has been suppressed by his thunderous means. No one dares to covet the position of the patriarch. Of course, what makes everyone in the Nangong family convinced and in awe is his superb medical skills.
The Nangong family has medical skills passed down from generation to generation. Naturally, the patriarch must have medical skills that convince everyone, and Nangong Ximo has done it. Although he does not disdain the so-called position of patriarch, sitting in this position makes it much more convenient for him.
, it’s not so repulsive anymore.
This time he came to the imperial capital because of the emperor's birthday. As the new patriarch of the Nangong family, he naturally wanted to come to celebrate his birthday. He was of a light temper and didn't like to join in the fun, but he went happily this time because he could see Su Chen again.
.
His dark eyes dropped, and the corners of his mouth curved in an arc that even he didn't notice.
The carriage suddenly jolted, and Su Chen, who was sleeping, was about to fall over. With quick eyes and quick hands, he stretched out his arms to hug her without thinking.
The moment he hugged her suddenly, his heartbeat increased, and his handsome face was stained with a faint blush. He was stunned for a while, but fortunately, the person in his arms was asleep and showed no sign of waking up.
He looked down at Zhen Shou, who was leaning on his shoulder, and his whole body stiffened for a moment. The situation at this time made him a little overwhelmed, and his calm eyes were confused.
No wonder he was like this. For him, who had never had such close contact with a woman, being so close to Su Chen at this time made him feel like he was facing a powerful enemy. There was no trace of the calmness and coolness of the past.
Liu Yang would definitely be shocked if he saw the young master he always respected the most looking at a loss.
However, the culprit who made Nangong Ximo embarrassed and ashamed didn't notice it at all. He leaned on him and fell asleep with peace of mind.
Nangong Ximo didn't know where to put his hands, his whole body was stiff, and he felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to express himself.
I don't know how long it took before Nangong Ximo looked at the person leaning on his shoulder. She was obviously extremely tired, and the bumpy carriage couldn't wake her up. Such a haggard and embarrassed Su Chen, Nangong Ximo
It’s the first time I’ve seen him.
In his impression, the girl in front of him had always been energetic and energetic. He didn't expect that so many things had happened during the time he was separated from her.
At this moment, he felt a pain in his heart that even he himself didn't know about.
Nangong Ximo's eyes were fixed on her fair face, looking at a few stains there. Before he could react, his snow-white sleeves had already been lifted up and he was gently wiping her face.
But his eyes were suddenly caught by the jade pendant on her bright wrist.
Her pupils tightened slightly, it was a gift from him, and she didn't expect that she would take it with her.
The dark eyes suddenly became soft.
He couldn't help but lift her hand, and gently stroked the texture of the jade pendant with his slender fingers.
He still doesn't understand why she blocked that fatal sword for him in the first place?
But the promise he made to her back then was true. In the future, no matter what she asked him to do, he would do it. Not just to repay her for blocking the sword, even if she didn't block it for him.
Jian, if she needs him, he will help her without hesitation.
Nangong Ximo pursed his lips, and his cold eyes became calm and determined.
His eyes fell on her haggard and thin face, and he subconsciously put his finger on her pulse.
However, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his calm eyes could no longer remain calm, staring at Su Chen in disbelief.
She was actually poisoned, and the poison was quite tricky.
At this moment, his heart was trembling slightly and his lips were pursed tightly.
Who could be so vicious and poison her body?
Nangong Ximo was silent, looking at Su Chen who was still sleeping for a long time, unaware that the danger had come.
He suddenly shouted out in a deep voice: "Liu Yang, speed up, don't arrive at the imperial capital before dawn." He must seize the time to prepare the antidote, otherwise... His eyes turned cold, and Su Chen's life was at risk.
Yu.
Liu Yang was still driving the carriage leisurely when he suddenly heard the order from Nangong Ximo. He suddenly became excited and did not dare to slack off anymore. He hit the horse's back with the whip in his hand. But he was complaining in his heart that this place was far away from the imperial capital.
, it still needs at least one day's journey, but the young master asked him to arrive before dawn. What is this? This is.
Although there were some complaints in his heart, Liu Yang did not dare to neglect the young master's order. Under his fierce urging, the carriage rushed forward quickly.
…
Leaving the palace.
Lu Yan has been back for two days, but he has not been able to bring Su Chen back. At this moment, facing his master's increasingly cold expression, he felt a little uneasy.
He was worried not because he was afraid of Xia Li's punishment, but because he was really worried about Su Chen.
The young man named Pei Yang clearly told Su Chen that he had left Baqueshan with him, but when he met someone who was chasing them along the way, he let Su Chen go first.
But later, he led people to chase him along the road, but no trace of Su Chen was found. This made him puzzled. If Pei Yang didn't lie to them, then where did Su Chen go?
Thinking of this, he shuddered, Su Chen wouldn't have...
His expression instantly turned ugly. His master valued Su Chen so much, and now that Su Chen was missing and there was no trace of him, you can imagine how much the master felt in his heart.
Lu Yan guessed correctly. Not only was Xia Li suffering, but his face was grave. Where could Su Chen be? Even Lingyin couldn't be found.
"Prepare your horse." Xia Li suddenly said in a deep voice. He was already walking outside.
Lu Yan couldn't help being surprised and hurriedly chased after him, "Your Majesty, are you planning to go out? But the Emperor's birthday is approaching. If you go out at this time, you may not be able to come back by then!" He naturally knew where Xia Li was going.
It's just that the emperor's birthday is also very important at present. Envoys from various countries have arrived in the imperial capital. As the emperor's favorite prince, what will the emperor think if the master leaves at this time? And wouldn't the master's hard work over the years be in vain?
Xia Li's face was as dark as water, and without saying a word, he walked straight to the door of the mansion.
Lu Yan wanted to say something else, but his eyes saw the housekeeper suddenly walking over in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Master Nangong is here."
Xia Li paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I know, you just make the arrangements." After saying that, he still walked forward without looking at the housekeeper.
"Su Chen is also back, together with Master Nangong."
However, the steward's next words made Xia Li stop suddenly. He turned around and stared at the steward, "What did you say?"
The caution in that tone made the usually strict butler unable to help but feel moved, and repeated word for word: "Su Chen is back."
…
In the new year, I wish everyone all the best and happiness!
