The conversation was quite confusing, and I didn't know what the princess was thinking.
But after these simple words, the relationship between the two people relaxed slightly, and all the previous matters became much lighter.
After a brief silence, Xia Shang stood up again: "Thank you for saving me. I think it's time to go back."
"You're leaving like this? You're not afraid..."
"I'm afraid my family is already looking around now. I haven't seen you in the palace. I believe the palace is in chaos now. The princess should go back early."
"Everything is already in chaos. Is it suitable for this moment? It's better to stay and recuperate for a day."
Xia Shang glanced at this small room. There was only one bed in it.
Then he thought about the princess sleeping next to him when he woke up, and thought it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
Xia Shang was about to say something more when he suddenly heard movement outside the house.
Xia Shang and Nangong Chuxin frowned at the same time, obviously feeling that the movement outside was abnormal.
The two of them were on alert when a familiar voice came from outside the house: "Xia Shang, are you in there?"
The voice sounded familiar, but it was not one I had heard recently, and the other person called Xia Shang by his first name, so he must be someone very close to him.
Xia Shang thought for a while and suddenly recognized: "Chun Jiao?"
Xia Shang asked doubtfully.
Although the voice is very similar to Chunjiao, Chunjiao should be dealing with the remaining matters in Chengdu now, so why does she suddenly appear here?
At this time, the door was pushed open.
Standing at the door was indeed Chunjiao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Xia Shang was overjoyed: "Is it really you?"
Chunjiao's expression was indifferent. She glanced at the princess behind Xia Shang and ignored her. She gave Xia Shang a simple hand and said, "My subordinates were frightened and looked around for you. It turns out that you were spending time with the majestic princess in this wilderness."
Started a life in paradise."
Nangong Chuxin was not displeased after hearing this, but felt very satisfied.
A woman's instinct told her that the woman who came here was very friendly to the man named Xia, and she was very interested in seeing how this man named Xia would explain it.
Xia Shang had no intention of explaining at all. He turned around and handed over to Nangong Chuxin: "Princess, since I have my people to protect me now, you don't have to worry about my safety. Please leave now."
After hearing this, Chunjiao softened her expression a little, feeling that she could snatch this man away from this woman as soon as she appeared. At least she had enough face on the surface, and she was very satisfied with Xia Shang's approach.
Xia Shang didn't explain any more and followed Chunjiao outside.
Nangong Chuxin chased: "Don't forget what you promised."
"Don't worry, since I have spoken out my words, I will definitely fulfill my promise. Furthermore, I will definitely repay the princess for this rescue."
After saying that, Xia Shang left.
It was really cold outside, especially for Xia Shang who had just passed out. Although the sun was shining above his head, the temperature on the ground was the lowest when the snow was melting.
Xia Shang was walking on the road, shivering a little from the cold.
Chunjiao didn't want to pay much attention to him, but seeing his appearance, she pouted and took off her cloak.
"What are you doing for me? I am a grown man and want a woman to take off her clothes for me? How is this inappropriate?"
"With all my skills, am I still afraid of these snowstorms? But you, I heard that you were harmed by the love poison. You are lucky to have saved your life."
"How did you know?"
"I came back to Beijing yesterday and learned that you were missing from the palace. We all dispersed to inquire. It happened that I met Dr. Zhuo Yuan, and he told me the reason under my pressure. That's why I came here, otherwise it would not have been possible.
Found it in such a short time.”
"By the way, why did you suddenly return to the capital? How are things in Chengdu handled?"
"Don't worry about these things for now. Take care of yourself first. Miao Keke came back with me. If it is really a poisonous insect, I believe Miao Ke can solve it. Now she is at the temporary office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. You
Put on your cloak first, and I will take you back to Beijing with Qinggong later, so be careful of the cold."
Xia Guang knew that Chunjiao's Qinggong was powerful, so he didn't refuse.
The journey that was supposed to take three hours took less than half an hour under the leadership of Chunjiao.
The speed is comparable to the means of transportation in the previous life, but the comfort is obviously not enough.
Returning to the temporary office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the capital, the news immediately spread, causing people from various departments to stop searching in the capital.
During this period, someone came to ask about Xia Shang's situation. Xia Shang did not go into too much detail. He put the matter aside after a few words and waited for Miao Keke to arrive.
Not long after, Miao Keke arrived.
As soon as she entered the house, Xia Shang hadn't recognized her yet. She was completely different from when she had seen her in Chengdu and the ancient Miao village. She had put on the simple clothes of a Central Plains girl, but her facial features still revealed the spirituality of a Miao girl.
Indescribable beauty.
But she didn't seem to be in good spirits, with a lingering sadness on her face, and she knelt on the ground when she saw Xia Shang.
"What are you doing?" Xia Shang asked in surprise.
Chunjiao also frowned slightly and cast a doubtful look.
"Sir, this subordinate is guilty."
"Miss Coco, you don't have to be so reserved. There is no one here, we are still friends. No matter what happens, you should get up and talk about it."
Miao Keke refused and continued: "After learning that the master has fallen into the love poison, I will know that this matter has something to do with me."
"what happened?"
Miao Keke knelt on the ground and whispered in a deep voice.
It turns out that the whole thing started when Xia and Shang first entered the old Miao people.
Miao Keke was wary since she first saw Xia Shang, and when she learned that A-Lan fell in love with Xia Shang at first sight, she thought of the Love Gu.
If you use the Love Gu on Xia and Shang, on the one hand, you can effectively control Xia and Shang so that they will not pose a threat to the Miao village. On the other hand, you can fulfill the wish of a good sister and stay with your sweetheart forever.
Therefore, Miao Keke secretly gave A Lan the Love Gu and tricked her into sending the Love Gu into Xia Shang's body if she wanted to be with her sweetheart.
Earlier, A-Lan had taken action once, but in the end, A-Lan himself denied it.
After that incident, Miao Keke had given up on A-Lan, so she never paid attention to it again.
But now she suddenly learned that Xia Shang had a love poison in his body, and Miao Keke realized that A Lan had no intention of giving up at all, but had attacked Xia Shang without knowing it.
Miao Keke told the story exactly, and Xia Shang finally understood.
"When exactly is A-Lan?"
Xia Shang thought to himself, and finally thought of the few days he spent living with A Lan in a private house in Chengdu.
There, Xia Shang kissed A Lan.
"Maybe that's the time." Xia Shang thought to himself.
But Miao Keke still couldn't kneel down.
Chunjiao frowned: "This matter has nothing to do with you, so why do you need to blame yourself? Sir, you are not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. Since you already know the root cause of the disease, it will be cured."
Miao Keke pondered: "This love Gu... I'm afraid my subordinates are powerless." (To be continued)
