"I still want to remind Mr. Wu that Ah Kui has seen that talisman once. She said that it was not a peace talisman, but a...marriage talisman from Qingyu Temple."
As Xu Mingyi spoke, she quietly paid attention to the young man's expression, and saw that his expression froze.
Marriage charm?
Or from Qingyu Temple?
"I didn't know about this at first." Wu Chao came to his senses and hurriedly explained: "I really thought it was a peace charm, so I gave it to you."
Does it make sense that he, a man, personally gave a girl a marriage talisman? - Doesn't it really seem like he is too eager to get a wife?
Hey, although now that I think about it...this talisman seems to be quite effective.
"It doesn't matter, I think it was because the Crown Prince's wife was afraid that you wouldn't want to take it with you, so she just said it was a peace talisman. It seems to be the intention of the elders." Xu Mingyi said.
Based on this person's temperament, if you tell him directly that it is a marriage talisman, he will probably throw away the talisman and his clothes in disgust, right?
Wu Chao just nodded and said nothing more, but in his heart he rarely agreed with his mother's wise move.
The autumn night was a bit chilly, and the wind blew up from time to time. Xu Mingyi rolled up the corners of his clothes and crossed his arms.
Wu Chao looked at his robe subconsciously.
What he wore today was a robe, not a cloak, and he didn't bring a cloak——
It was obvious that if he took off his clothes and put them on her, not only would his grace and good intentions not be shown, but it would also make the situation unspeakable, and it would even be unreasonable to send him to the government for his behavior.
"It's getting late, I'll take Miss Xu back home." The young man said without delay.
Even though he desperately wanted to stay with her for a few more hours, he didn't want her to get cold here.
He was not such a delicate person in the past.
For him, being colder was nothing, it was just an ordinary perception that was amplified.
But for some reason, when it came to her, it made him feel a stronger intolerance than empathizing with her - how could he be so trivial and worried when he originally liked someone and couldn't bear to see her suffer at all?
Is this a husband or a mother?
The inexperienced boy suddenly became worried about his future.
"That's fine, Mr. Wu has to go on a journey tomorrow."
While Wu Chao was lost in thought, Xu Mingyi stood up.
Seeing that the third eye next to her was motionless, she picked up the bird and held it in her arms.
Wu Chao's mouth twitched slightly when he saw it.
Sure enough, his previous judgment was correct.
"Miss Xu, you don't have to coddle it like this." Looking at the big bird that was curled up comfortably in the girl's arms with its eyes closed, the young man said lukewarmly.
"It's dark here. It can't see the road clearly at night, so it won't be tired after being held for a while." Xu Mingyi said as he walked: "What's more, it can also warm your hands."
Warm your hands?
Wu Chao glanced at her.
If you really need to warm your hands, he can do that.
The two quickly descended from the tower and returned to the place where the carriage stopped without stopping.
Xu Mingyi stuffed Tianmu into the carriage first. He didn't rush up and said to Wu Chao: "Master Wu, just go back to the palace directly. There is no need to see me off."
She never felt that she was someone who needed to be given to others, and it was just fine if she was given to others.
"It doesn't matter."
The young man had already mounted the horse and said as if it was business-like: "Besides, I promised your brother that I will personally send Miss Xu back to my house.
Xu Mingyi glanced at him one more time.
Okay, as long as he doesn't mind the trouble and isn't afraid of getting tired.
"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Wu."
The carriage drove all the way towards the Zhenguo Palace.
Wu Chao sat on the horse, enjoying the cool night breeze, but felt that his chaotic heart could never calm down.
Before you knew it, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion arrived.
Wu Chao felt that this section of the road was particularly short.
He got off the horse and saw Xu Mingyi walking towards him and said goodbye to him seriously: "Thank you Mr. Wu for sending me back. I'm going back to Ningyang on this trip. Please take care of yourself."
Wu Chao nodded.
"You should be more careful in Beijing."
Xu Mingyi agreed, bowed to his blessed body, and then turned around with Akui and Tianmu.
When she was about to walk away, she subconsciously turned her head and looked back.
Under the moonlight, the young man actually stood where he was and was watching her, his tall and tall figure drawing a long shadow under his feet.
Xu Mingyi was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand and waved to him.
Seeing this scene, Wu Chao also smiled, and even his voice was gentler than ever before, urging: "Feng Da, go in."
This concerned voice was crushed by the night wind and sent into Xu Mingyi's ears. She was stunned for a moment, and then she nodded to him from a distance——
Immediately, he climbed over the wall and entered the mansion without hesitation.
Wu Chao has become accustomed to this.
But...she seemed to have forgotten that she was bringing the maid who didn't know martial arts with her today?
Wu Chao looked at A Kui.
But he saw the little maid go around to the side of the courtyard wall and open up a piece of grass with ease. At this time, there was a sound like a stone being moved away from the courtyard, and the little maid then got in...
Wu Chao couldn't help but remain silent.
It was him who was worrying blindly.
Those who know how to use martial arts can climb over walls, and those who don't know how to use martial arts can dig into dog holes. There are always more ways than difficulties.
"Chirp——"
The cries of birds rang out, and Wu Chao looked out and saw Tianmu standing not far away, looking at him.
Seeing him looking over, the big bird seemed to be imitating Xu Mingyi's movements and waved its big wings at him.
Wu Chao smiled.
Not too heartless.
"Go ahead."
The big bird turned around obediently, its chubby back swaying as it walked.
But when he saw the big bird reaching the base of the wall and still waving its wings to fly, Wu Chao couldn't help but wonder - could it be that he didn't want to let him go? Or did he want to go back to Ningyang with him?
However, this idea did not last long.
The third eye walked along the base of the wall, and finally got into the grass, and the bird's shadow disappeared into the dog hole.
At this moment, Wu Chao had nothing else to say except the suggestion, "If you don't need your wings, consider donating them to other birds."
He was supposed to mount his horse and leave, but instead he walked to the river.
Taking out the blood-stained handkerchief hidden in his arms, the young man squatted down by the river, dipped the handkerchief into the water, and shook it back and forth seriously.
Xiao Qi, who was keeping in the dark, couldn't stand it any longer, so he showed up and said, "Sir, why don't my subordinates help you wash it?"
The young man's cool gaze swept over, and Xiao Qi quickly shrank her neck.
He was thinking that now that he was also the young master's son, he wanted to return to Ningyang with the young master. Was it wrong to want to be more diligent?
But he still couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Young master, you should probably try scrubbing..."
If you wash it back and forth like this, it won't be clean at all.
I saw that this was my first time washing things and I had no experience.
After hearing this, Wu Chao's men moved for a moment, and after looking at the secret guard's hands demonstrating the scrubbing action, he tried to imitate it.
His movements were unfamiliar and clumsy, but he was unusually patient and carefully controlled his strength. Only when the square handkerchief was washed as clean as new did he nod with satisfaction.
Seeing that her young master had a vague sense of self-appreciation on his face that he was worthy of being me, Xiao Qi was quite confused.
He just didn't understand. Would mastering the skill of washing also be of any help to the descendants of Dingnan King?
