Liao Quan, the son of the Liao City Lord's family, was almost assassinated by others because he sent someone to arrest Xiao Ting, and was exiled three thousand miles away.
It was City Lord Liao who gave the order.
But Li Mo didn't mention this matter. Firstly, the Ninth Prince didn't like Xiao Ting knowing these dark things. On the other hand, he felt that even if he mentioned the name Liao Quan at this moment, she might not be able to remember which side it was for a while.
This girl is born to make others worry, so she doesn't worry at all.
If it hadn't been for the Ninth Prince's strict order to follow him every step of the way, the result would have been a mess...
Xiao Ting's thinking is very jumpy, the injury on her hand is almost healed, and she stayed here for half a month, very bored.
"How far is it from Li City?"
Li Mo stayed outside, and this time he replied, "Going back to the princess, it will take ten days to go back and forth."
ten days? She stayed here for half a month.
"Xiao Shi must have missed me..."
Xiao Ting spoke weakly.
Just then, a voice came from outside.
"My lord."
It's Ah Er's voice, the Ninth Prince is here.
Xiao Ting got up and ran towards the door.
"Are you done?"
Ninth Prince stretched out to support her, not letting her right hand move, "Why didn't you go out today?"
Xiao Ting pouted, displeased, "It's nothing fun."
"How long are we going to stay here?"
Ninth Prince took her inside, "Soon."
"Every time I ask you, you always say it's too soon. It's been half a month. You still say the same thing. I'm going back to Licheng. I miss Xiao Shi and Xiao Yun."
"Don't mess around." Ninth Prince frowned, "It's not time to leave yet."
Xiao Ting sat on the edge of the bed, turned her head angrily, and didn't want to look at him, "I'm fooling around when I have ideas, and you, just get down to business, let you take a good rest, you can't see a ghost all day long, it's useless to worry..."
Li Mo stepped aside and backed out.
He really didn't want to be with the princess, it was too exhausting.
In the room, the Ninth Prince promised, "If you really miss a child, then I will ask Li Mo to send you back to Li City in two days."
Xiao Ting was about to agree, but suddenly remembered what he had said, "What about you?"
Ninth Prince shook his head, "I still have things to finish."
"What's the important thing, you are an idle prince, you have no military power, no money, what makes you so busy, there is still an emperor and two princes in the imperial city, it's your turn to worry about it!"
Xiao Ting wished she could grab him by the collar and beat him up.
But this person looks weak, but his martial arts are far away from her by eight thousand miles.
Ninth Prince patted her paw, held her in his arms, sighed, and said, "I know that you are worried about me..."
Xiao Ting's eyes became hot, and she moved a little closer.
"Who's worried about you?"
"Don't worry, I know my body well. Soon, everything here will end. At that time, this king will take you away to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers."
"Hmph, you've already said this once." Xiao Ting hummed softly, but her heart relaxed a little.
"It will be the New Year soon, and I will take you to a good place then."
Xiao Ting heard him speak so mysteriously, she also forgot to argue with him at the moment, and asked where it was.
As a result, of course there was no result.
At noon that day, the temperature dropped suddenly, and people in the house closed the windows tightly, and could feel the coolness seeping in a little bit.
There was no rain or snow, but the sun was fading, and the clouds were thick enough to block the light.
Mother Feng went to ask the owner of the inn how many quilts she wanted, as well as two braziers and some raw carbon.
Xiao Ting wrapped herself in the quilt and read the script.
I also want to think of it as the current novel, looking boring is just to pass the time.
When the weather became cold, Xiao Ting didn't want to go out at all, and stayed in the main house for several days in a row, never fully dressed, walking around with her hair in a bun.
When the Ninth Prince came back, Xiao Ting had already fallen asleep holding the scripture book, her little face covered in the quilt, curled up like a kitten.
He took off his outer robe, washed up casually, and then threw off the quilt and went to bed after warming up.
When I was close to Xiao Ting, I obviously felt her body tremble.
Ninth Prince pulled her over and held her in his arms.
In a daze, Xiao Ting shrugged her nose and moved closer.
"Chu Xiaoli, you are back."
Her little face was pressed against his neck, and she rubbed against him unintentionally, her hands and legs were directly on his body, like a little octopus.
"Cold you!"
Xiao Ting shook her head, and muttered: "I see what others said, the weather has changed suddenly these few days, and there seems to be some evil spirits making trouble. Do you know how to observe the sky?"
The Ninth Prince hugged her even tighter, tucked her back, and sighed helplessly, "This king has never practiced the astronomical calendar, so Xiao Xiao understands it?"
Xiao Ting rolled her eyes where he couldn't see, "My master understands this, but I haven't learned even a ten-thousandth of his skills."
"What did you hear?" Ninth Prince thought for a moment, then asked softly.
Xiao Ting muttered a few words silently, and revealed a small head from the arms of the Ninth Prince, and said: "Mr. Xu said that there will be a catastrophe in the world."
The Ninth Prince didn't understand for a while, what was the meaning of her serious expression.
It took a while to react, "Little fool, what are you thinking!"
Xiao Ting pouted, "Didn't they all say that you are the world-destroying star? Xu Laotong learned astrology and said that the world-destroying star has appeared, pointing directly at the empire."
This means that everyone knows that the physique they are looking for and fear is now in the empire.
The other four countries and ten places will send people to question. At that time, no matter whether the identity of the Ninth Prince is exposed or not, he will not be able to stay alone and stay out of the world.
Xiao Ting was worried that the peaceful and leisurely days in the Imperial City and Nine Princes' Mansion were gone forever.
What she has been pursuing and longing for is the kind of carefree days where she doesn't have to think about anything.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, she has nothing but ability, but she is reluctant to stay alone and hide in the world, which is a pity, or she does not want to make progress.
But, she doesn't care, let alone care.
What she wants has always been simple, simple days, simple life, simple relationship.
It's only when things got to the present step by step that she realized that she had taken everything for granted.
The Ninth Prince's eyebrows were still clear, and Xiao Ting heard her heart beating faster than before as she was close at hand.
His voice was flat and honest, "Are you afraid?"
Xiao Ting shook her head, "There is nothing to be afraid of, I will protect you, so don't be afraid."
Xiao Ting clenched her small fists under the quilt, and swore to herself that she would be safe with this man.
Ninth Prince's lips curled up slightly, "I am not afraid."
He held Xiao Ting in his arms again, his body was always cold, even in midsummer, he never got overheated.
And Xiao Ting is very afraid of the cold.
It's actually not warm when they hug each other like this.
"Xiao Xiao, thank you!"
"We are husband and wife." Xiao Ting felt that she was becoming more and more hypocritical now.
To be able to blurt out such words without even thinking about them is really out of the mind.
"Chu Xiaoli, the source of extreme yin has always been on me, you..."
She wanted to say that she wanted to help him and let his body fuse faster.
Xiao Ting and Mr. Xu studied for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.
Ninth Prince's physique is not born, but acquired.
The mortal soul is also a fusion of living soul and wandering soul. Too complicated things caused his soul body to mutate.
That's how it evolved.
Xiao Ting has been preventing his physique from maturing in order to let him live longer and not be discovered by others.
Therefore, when the emperor demoted the Ninth Prince out of the imperial city, she didn't show it on the face, but she was happy in her heart.
The farther you are from these people, the less likely you are to be discovered by others.
But things are getting more and more out of the main line, and now, the sky has revealed, and soon, the identity of the Ninth Prince will be revealed to the world.
Even though she had made countless conjectures and thought about facing him together, she still felt flustered and sad when the matter came up.
She didn't think well about many things, so she wanted him to be more powerful, and more powerful.
Not to hurt anyone, just to protect yourself.
What's more, he has not only himself, but also friends, relatives, daughters, and subordinates.
At that time, there will be too many changes, whether the brothers will turn against each other, or the subordinates will commit crimes.
She didn't want to face it, and he certainly didn't want to either.
The Ninth Prince knew that she had such intentions, so without even thinking about it, he said with a smile, "Wait a little longer!"
"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Ting was in a hurry, and repeatedly assured, "Are you afraid that I will get hurt? I will be fine."
She went to look for Mr. Xu, but Mr. Xu didn't hide anything. He said that the Ninth Prince went to him and asked about how to use the source of extreme yin.
Very hurtful to women.
"I know." Ninth Prince comforted, "Don't think so much, I'm fine now."
Uncertain things will make people more fearful, and the unknown is more terrifying.
"Chu Li, you know, I, Xiao Ting, am not the kind of person who insists on breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line, but what I need to know, I will definitely ask the answer. With you, all I care about is your body. I just want you to be safe!"
Xiao Ting didn't know what she was afraid of, maybe it was the weather, or maybe it was a problem with her mood. In short, she felt a sense of urgency recently.
It seems that something big is about to happen.
It's not a nightmare, nor is it fate, it's just an intuition.
She always wanted to find a chance to talk to him, but the Ninth Prince left early and returned late, so she couldn't find a chance at all.
"Xiao Xiao, don't worry about me. I was a sign of an early death, but I lived to be twenty-three. Even God can't accept me, let alone those ordinary people."
Xiao Ting looked at him suspiciously, always felt that what he said was too conceited, unlike his previous performance.
For a long while, neither of them spoke again.
Not long after, the Ninth Prince waved off the last lamp in front of the bed, and the room was plunged into darkness.
"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?"
After a long time, the voice of the Ninth Prince came, still calm, but somewhat depressed.
Under the quilt, Xiao Ting's little hands were restless at all, wandering around the Ninth Prince.
His underwear was stripped off by her, her little face was pressed against his chest, her little hands didn't stop, and said: "Your clothes are too cold."
"Don't move around, your hand is hurt." The Ninth Prince naturally knew what she was going to do, and this little girl became more and more daring.
He grabbed the little hand, pulled it up, and put it on his back.
