"Damn it!"
Having accidentally spent three days in the tomb, Song Jinyu was extremely worried about Princess Soli. She pleaded with Zhongli Mingye to rush back to the post station overnight.
However, Zhongli Mingye truly pitied her frail body. Although he couldn't refuse her, he still had a carriage prepared.
When the group rushed to the post station overnight, the restriction Song Jinyu had previously set had been broken by the gu worms in Princess Soli's body.
At this moment, she was once again tortured by the gu worms in her body and kept howling. She bit several maids in succession. The two princes had no choice but to seal the room to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.
When Song Jinyu arrived and saw this situation, she hurriedly told Yan Fei to assist her. As soon as the jade mouthpiece was taken out, it seemed to emit the smell of a millennium-old corpse, and the gu worms actually quieted down a bit.
She asked the maid to take off the princess's outer robe and massaged her body back and forth with the jade mouthpiece. The gu worms were deterred by the cold air of the jade mouthpiece and dared not move.
Gradually, the gu worms were suppressed in the princess's arm and dared not move anymore.
Yan Fei brought the boiled herbal medicine. Song Jinyu helped the princess up. Just as she fed her half of the medicine, the gu worms became active again, but could only tremble in the arm.
Seeing this, she seized the opportunity and took out the silver needles she had prepared in advance. Swift! Steady! Accurate! Merciless! She immediately subdued the strange gu worms.
After she picked them out of the princess's body, she immediately placed them on the jade mouthpiece.
Before long, the gu worms turned into ashes.
The princess gradually fell into a coma. "It's okay. She will wake up after sleeping for three days..."
Seeing that Princess Soli was out of danger, the prince of the Western City was extremely grateful to Song Jinyu for saving her life. He promised, "If Miss Song ever goes to the Gu Tribe in the future, the Gu Tribe will treat her with the courtesy of a royal princess."
After writing the prescription and instructing the maids of the Gu Tribe, Song Jinyu got up to leave. Suddenly, her vision went black. Due to overwork, she fell onto the princess's bed.
Seeing this, Prince Nai'an picked her up horizontally and wanted to send her to the guest room to rest.
However,
"Your Highness, hand her over to this king."
Zhongli Mingye had just finished talking with Song Qinzhou and walked in to check the situation. Unexpectedly, he saw Nai'an holding Song Jinyu.
Without hesitation, he took her over. Good, how dare he hold his woman! His eyes were like a snow-capped mountain frozen for a thousand years, making Nai'an feel uneasy.
Song Jinyu's head was pounding. After days of hard work, now that she had relaxed, her whole body ached. "My lord, where is Ji Biluo?"
Looking at her helplessly, he said, "Don't worry about it for now. Just have a good rest."
"This king has already made arrangements!" He was well aware of the deal between Song Jinyu and Ji Biluo. Now that they were back in Liuzhou City, he would never let her worry about it anymore.
"Okay..." She fell asleep peacefully.
Looking at the girl in his arms, Zhongli Mingye felt extremely heartache.
"Your Highness, the Song Mansion is here!" As soon as Qingfeng finished speaking, he didn't hear a response from the carriage. He was just feeling strange.
Then he heard, "Back to the palace!"
Zhongli Mingye thought it was safer to keep the girl in sight. Yes, that's how he convinced himself.
So, when the Song father and son returned to the mansion and didn't see Song Jinyu, they looked at each other in dismay.
"Father, this..."
Song Qinzhou waved his sleeve. "Humph..." The Prince of Yu was being too overbearing!
Poor Miss Song was now sound asleep on the simple and luxurious bed in the Prince of Yu's palace. Someone quietly brought in a bathtub. "Your Highness, it's ready!"
"Okay, help Miss Song take a bath and change her clothes."
After saying that, looking at the sweetly sleeping girl on the bed, he smiled slightly. He naturally understood the meaning of Song Jinyu's words in the tomb.
Let go? It was impossible! Not in this life, nor in the next.
Song Jinyu didn't wake up until she had finished bathing. She was really exhausted this time. When the sun was high in the sky, she was still lying on the bed, half asleep.
Zhongli Mingye walked in refreshed and had someone prepare a sumptuous breakfast.
What smells so good? Mmm... I want to eat it! Song Jinyu closed her eyes, smelled the aroma, and slowly opened her eyes.
In a daze, she seemed to see Zhongli Mingye. Was she really that tired these days? Why could she still see him after getting home?
"Ah..." A fragrant steamed bun was handed over.
She obediently opened her mouth. "Aww!"
Mmm, it's delicious. So delicious! It's crab roe flavored. It's extremely delicious. She closed her eyes and chewed contentedly. However, the next moment, she seemed to remember something.
"You... You... Why are you here?!!!" Song Jinyu finally woke up. She stared at Zhongli Mingye with wide eyes.
The other party gave her a very innocent look. "This is the palace. Is it strange for this king to be here?"
The Prince of Yu's palace? She looked around. Isn't this Zhongli Mingye's bedroom? Ah! The clothes? What's going on?
She looked at Zhongli Mingye accusingly. Could it be that he changed her clothes? It was too much. This was simply overbearing. Seeing her trembling with anger, Zhongli Mingye smiled and said, "Yesterday, you were sleeping soundly. This king didn't have the heart to wake you up, so this king asked the maid to help you take a bath and change your clothes."
Thank goodness... It was the maid who changed her clothes. But why was she in the palace? "I remember Father and Brother were at the post station."
"Yes, so they are very busy. They entrusted this king to take care of you." While she was in a daze, Zhongli Mingye handed her another crab roe crystal steamed bun. Song Jinyu obediently opened her mouth and caught it. "Is it delicious?"
"Humph..."
This man really had an addiction to bullying her!
Ouyang Jinse was hiding in Liuzhou City and heard the news from the post station. He couldn't believe that Song Jinyu had actually solved the gu poison. "Impossible!"
"My lord, Miss Song went to the tomb behind Minshan Mountain a few days ago and found a millennium-old jade mouthpiece."
"Bang!"
He smashed the desk with one palm. "Good... As expected, she is the closed-door disciple of Miao Yunshen!" Ouyang Jinse gritted his teeth. "Did the Prince of Yu also accompany her into the tomb?"
The person kneeling below trembled with fear and didn't dare to reply. This attitude further confirmed his suspicion.
So, had she fallen in love with Zhongli Mingye?
Good. He closed his eyes slightly. When did their relationship start to deteriorate over the past year?
It started when his mother sent someone to assassinate Song Jinyu. Then, he refused the marriage proposal from the Golden Water Palace on Tianmen Mountain. Later, he forced her to marry him. Thinking of the look in her eyes the last time they met.
Ouyang Jinse knew that she was becoming more and more distant from him in this life.
