After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, the ice and snow on Lin Jiao's body had melted, and the cotton-padded jacket on her body was a little wet and very uncomfortable.
The housekeeper happened to come over and said that the fire walls in the preparation room and Pei Yuan's room were heated, and the kang was also heated.
Lin Jiao asked the housekeeper to prepare clothes for Xiao Qing. Xuanfeng had lived in the mansion before, so there was no need to prepare clothes specially.
Let the two of them go and rest quickly. Before leaving, Lin Jiao told Xuan Feng.
"Before your general comes back, you will protect Xuanfeng every step of the way. Do you remember that?"
Xuanfeng nodded.
"Madam, don't worry, I will follow Young Master Xiao Qing every step of the way."
Xuanfeng knew Xiao Qing's identity and would not dare to neglect him.
Xiao Qing has warmed up now, and he has no objection to Lin Jiao's arrangement. He just wants to take a bath quickly, eat a full meal, and then sleep comfortably.
Lin Jiao followed the housekeeper into Pei Yuan's yard. The furnishings in Pei Yuan's yard were very simple. It was winter again and everything was bare. There was nothing interesting at all.
"The bath water has been prepared. Madam can just take a bath. Your clothes, the general, personally bought them when he came back some time ago. They are all placed in the closet. It is inconvenient for me to go in. Please help me, madam, to get them myself."
"I understand, Uncle Liu, go and do your work, I can do the rest myself."
The housekeeper's surname was Liu. When Xuanfeng said that Pei Yuan called him Uncle Liu, Lin Jiao followed suit.
"Okay, then I'll go and see Mr. Xiao."
After the housekeeper exited, Lin Jiao walked into Pei Yuan's room.
The room was very warm. After Lin Jiao entered, she closed the door, took off her cotton-padded jacket and threw it aside. Then she went to the closet to find her own clothes.
Her clothes are easy to find, and the wardrobe is almost filled with her clothes.
All are new.
Lin Jiao picked out a set of sky blue clothes, took them out and carried them to the penthouse.
The bathtub is in the penthouse. It is a large double bathtub. It is new. It was probably prepared by Pei Yuan not long ago.
After taking off her clothes and walking into the tub, Lin Jiao let out a sigh of comfort as the warm water flowed over her body.
This is how people live.
Traveling without sleep in a snowy day is simply fatal.
She was now so tired that she had no strength to enter the space again. She soaked in the bathtub for a while, washed herself, and then Lin Jiao put on her single clothes and came out.
After taking the towel, Lin Jiao had just twirled her hair half dry when the door to the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Pei Yuan walked in quickly and saw Lin Jiao wearing only single clothes. He was stunned for a moment, then rolled his Adam's apple hard, and immediately turned around and closed the door.
His face looked very ugly.
"Did something happen to Prince Liang?"
Seeing his dark face, Lin Jiao immediately put down the cloth in her hand and walked over to ask.
He was wearing a black fox fur cloak, which made his slender figure look even more grim.
Seeing her coming, Pei Yuan immediately took a step back.
"I feel cold, please don't come over yet."
When Pei Yuan spoke, his tone was not good.
Lin Jiao stopped stepping forward, picked up the towel on the side and continued to wipe her hair without speaking to Pei Yuan.
Did you give this man face?
She rushed here day and night despite the wind and snow, and this man actually showed off to her. Did she offend him?
Pei Yuan looked at Lin Jiao without blinking.
Seeing that Lin Jiao didn't talk to him, Pei Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is it cold on the road?"
When he asked this question, he seemed to be gritting his teeth.
"It's cold. How can it not be cold in such a heavy snowstorm?"
After Lin Jiao finished speaking, her hair was almost wiped, and she threw away the handkerchief and got on the kang.
Knowing that she was freezing all the way, the housekeeper made the kang a little warmer than usual, which was just right for Lin Jiao.
After the chill on Pei Yuan dissipated, he threw away his cloak and walked over to see Lin Jiao.
Lin Jiao had already laid out the quilt and lay down in bed, getting comfortable and planning to close her eyes and sleep.
Pei Yuan looked at the blue-grey color in her eyes and sighed distressedly, "Madam, please don't sleep yet. Can you eat something before going to sleep?"
I heard from Xuanfeng that in order to travel as quickly as possible, they ate only cold pancakes and drank water that was not warm. They rushed all the way and were lucky that they didn't contract the cold when they arrived in Liangzhou.
"You also know that it's so cold along the way, why are you rushing in such a hurry? I've warned you all not to be in a hurry. I will try my best to delay the time for Prince Liang.
Was it Xu Mian’s idea?”
Pei Yuan took off his coat, lay down and hugged Lin Jiao. She had already taken a bath, and her body was still cold now.
How frozen is this road?
Pei Yuan's slender fingers gently stroked her hair, drying her hair with internal force.
"The result of our discussion together is not one person's idea."
Lin Jiao answered with her back to Pei Yuan.
It was indeed Xu Mian's idea, but Xu Mian actually didn't say it, and Lin Jiao also planned to do the same.
So it doesn't matter whose idea it is, as long as Xiao Qing can get to Liangzhou before King Liang dies.
"Don't give him any excuses. I'll know it must have been his idea."
Pei Yuan gritted his teeth and wished to kill Xu Mian.
How could he have the nerve to come up with this idea and let his Jiaojiao suffer like this without rushing back?
Listening to his tone, Lin Jiao wanted to kill Xu Mian, so she turned over in his arms and stretched out her hand to twist the soft flesh around his waist.
"hiss!"
Pei Yuan took a breath, his wife was really willing to pinch him.
"After all, Xu Mian is doing this for your own good. Don't be so angry because I am the one on the way. I can guarantee that I will not catch the cold or have an accident on the road. I am the best candidate."
"How can you ensure that you don't catch the cold?"
Pei Yuan was so angry that she still spoke for Xu Mian?
How should Lin Jiao answer this?
Could it be that I have a magical space?
"Mr., I'm going to die from sleepiness."
Unable to answer, Lin Jiao acted coquettishly.
She grabbed Pei Yuan's collar and rubbed her forehead against his chin, which made her forehead red.
"Don't move. I haven't shaved for several days. Does it hurt you?"
Pei Yuan looked at Lin Jiao's red forehead with distress.
"Who asked you to bully me?"
Her forehead didn't hurt, but Pei Yuan's concern made Lin Jiao always want to act coquettishly towards him and bully him unreasonably.
"It's my fault, don't cry."
When he heard Lin Jiao's voice was filled with tears, Pei Yuan immediately panicked and quickly hugged her and gently coaxed her.
"I just feel so sorry for you. You can see that your body is cold now."
Pei Yuan's palm was very hot and he placed it on Lin Jiao's lower abdomen. "You are a woman. If you catch a cold while traveling in such cold weather, you will have stomach pain during menstruation in the future."
The bursts of warmth that came from her lower abdomen made Lin Jiao feel warmer in her heart.
She looked up at Pei Yuan's beautiful features, suddenly kissed him on the corner of the mouth, and then asked him curiously.
