Looking at Tie Qing, the King of the Southern Courtyard, Xiao Xueyi remained very calm, with the scene that had just happened constantly flashing through her mind.
"Damn it!"
"Your Highness, please calm down!"
"Prince Yu doesn't want to cause trouble either, so you don't have to worry." Even though she said so, she was afraid that this time they had touched Zhongli Mingye's sore spot.
Xiao Xueyi could tell that Prince Yu's feelings for Song Jinyu were not just because of the imperial bestowed marriage. He must have truly cared about her.
What would Prince Yu do? Now that he had fallen out with the crown prince, he had long had other plans. Zhongli Mingye, although a man of great depth, was upright and aboveboard. Cooperating with him might be a good choice.
"Mingye..."
As soon as Song Jinyu was placed on the couch by him, she couldn't move. The man grinned wickedly. "Didn't you promise to let this king have a good kiss?"
Uh... She did promise. But... it was so embarrassing.
Instantly, her face flushed red. She didn't know where to put her little hands and tightly grabbed his clothes.
After a long time, Zhongli Mingye looked at her deeply. "This is the last time!"
What? Song Jinyu didn't understand what he meant, but then she heard a sigh. "Don't do such dangerous things again."
God knows how much of an ordeal that night was. She was waiting for unknown danger in that shabby tent, while Zhongli Mingye didn't dare to close his eyes or relax for an entire night. Even though he had arranged many people, it was still not as good as going there himself.
Looking at the man in front of her, had he been worried all night? Song Jinyu felt a little touched. She gently stroked his worried eyes. "Okay..." As long as you're here, I won't take risks anymore. Happily, she closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them again. She suddenly remembered,
"Hey... Yan Fei doesn't know yet."
In the first half of the night, Yan Fei took a risk to get close to the tent just to find out about her safety. Now he must be extremely worried.
Zhongli Mingye didn't want to hear the name of any other man from her mouth, especially... Yan Fei! Pretending not to hear, seeing the accusing look in the girl's eyes, he finally softened his heart. "This king will send someone to inform them."
"No, I have to go there myself." Song Jinyu got out of bed in a hurry and was about to leave, but he grabbed her and pulled her onto his lap. The posture was extremely ambiguous.
"You really have a bad memory! This king will refresh your mind..." After saying that, he pushed her down.
"Um, you..."
After receiving the news, Yan Fei silently put away the "Flying Sky Chain". Since he came to Yanqiu, he had become more and more silent. Niaoniao felt very heart - broken. Young Master Yan had always been very kind to them. Now that he was so silent, he must have some heart - trouble.
But... the young lady just liked Prince Yu, and they even had the imperial edict of the emperor bestowing the marriage. It was not a good way for Yan Fei to be so depressed.
She asked Cheng Song to persuade him, but he was also a clumsy talker.
The King of the Southern Courtyard finally made a decision. The King of Yanqiu had died of a serious illness caused by excessive indulgence. The throne would be inherited by the youngest son of the queen mother.
This was a game between him and the queen mother. If not for this, Yanqiu might have been in great chaos. After discussing with Xiao Xueyi, he decided to make a concession and let the youngest son of the queen mother ascend the throne.
Now, he hated Rong Qing'er to the core. If it weren't for this woman's bungling, the throne would have already fallen into the hands of the King of the Southern Courtyard.
Thinking of this, he sent someone to grind Rong Qing'er's bones to ashes to relieve his hatred.
After getting the news, Song Jinyu frowned.
"Obviously, it's all those dirty tricks among men. Why should a woman bear the bad reputation!"
Even though it was someone who had once wanted her life, she didn't want Rong Qing'er to end up being ground to ashes.
Zhongli Mingye didn't really care. "Because of Rong Qing'er's meddling, the King of the Southern Courtyard missed the throne, so he lost his mind."
The more chaotic Yanqiu was, the more peaceful the border of the Great Xia Dynasty would be.
Before leaving, he didn't mind adding fuel to the fire. So he had arranged for someone to contact the spies of the Great Xia Dynasty early on. It was estimated that before long, the news that the princess of the King of the Southern Courtyard had murdered the King of Yanqiu would spread. When it reached the ears of other members of the royal family of Yanqiu, it would be interesting.
With cold eyes, he looked out of the door. Thinking that they had stayed in Yanqiu for too long, the intention of the emperor sending him on this mission was gradually becoming clear.
What was written in the memorial of the King of the Southern Courtyard? It was unknown, and he wasn't interested either.
"Tomorrow, we'll set off back to the Great Xia."
Huh, they were leaving? Great! Song Jinyu became happy again, completely forgetting that she had almost been kissed breathless by that man just now.
"Fortunately, I have a secret method to protect the Yin Grass. Otherwise, it would really delay using it as medicine."
Looking at the happy girl beside him, Zhongli Mingye secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he couldn't let her get involved in it.
But as a member of the royal family, who wasn't in the game?
He held her hand and gently kissed it on his lips. "The date is set..."
Suddenly, he changed the topic, and Song Jinyu was a little at a loss. "What?"
"The wedding date!"
... It was so soon. He...
Was she going to get married? She wasn't ready yet. After getting married, would she be like her sister - in - law, giving birth to children, raising children? And she would also have to manage the household!
She let her thoughts wander further and further into the future. The man beside her was not satisfied with her expression. What kind of look was that? Why was she so dazed!
She murmured, not knowing what to say.
"Didn't this king tell you before leaving?"
Gently pinching her earlobe that was red all the way to the root, he leaned closer. "It seems that the lesson this king gave you wasn't profound enough."
As soon as she heard this, Song Jinyu immediately bounced away like a rabbit, covering her ears and shouting, "Profound, extremely profound. It's just like being enlightened, like thunder striking the ears, deafening, and suddenly making one see the light!"
Could it not be profound?
She had almost been completely taken advantage of by him. If it weren't for that last bit of clarity, they would have already had an irreversible relationship.
Really! It was so... too much!
The vigilant look in her eyes made Zhongli Mingye burst out laughing. "Where did you learn so many idioms?" Suddenly, he remembered that in the Liuzhou Palace, she had written a whole bunch of auspicious idioms starting with "long" (dragon in Chinese) like a master calligrapher, and she had even written with both hands.
He couldn't help but be curious. How did she do it?
"When I was a child, my master always made me copy books. My hands were almost broken." It was all a history of blood and tears. For a whole four years after going up the mountain, Miao Yunshen made her copy books. She had almost copied all the medical books on Tianmen Mountain.
Forced to do so, she had practiced the secret method of writing with both hands.
Zhongli Mingye became even more interested in her life on Tianmen Mountain. He grabbed her, and the two of them started talking about their childhood memories.
Finally, the two of them sighed.
"It's really not easy to grow up safely!"
They looked at each other and sighed together. "Alas..."
