When Chu Jihan went out, he saw Prince An standing at the door of his mother's concubine's room a few rooms away, "Father, why are you standing here?"
Prince An awkwardly touched the short beard on his chin, "Your mother and concubine need to rest quietly because she is pregnant. I am worried that I will disturb her with my snoring, so I plan to sleep separately."
Chu Jihan had a dark look on his face, "You dare to say that? Do you think I didn't hear what you just said? Isn't it because you were too excited to sleep and acted like a monster, so you were kicked out by your mother and concubine?"
After all, he was his father. Chu Jihan cursed this thought in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.
So Chu Jihan had the same expression on his face and said with great sincerity, "In that case, father, please live next door to us and let the servant clean up for you."
The sound insulation effect of the inn is not very good, so when they stay in the inn, they rent out the entire hotel and leave the rooms on both sides vacant to avoid having a bad rest due to the noise.
"Okay, remember to prepare an extra room next time you stay in the hotel." Prince An nodded, and then told him dissatisfiedly, as if he disliked Chu Jihan for not thinking carefully.
"Okay, I remember." Chu Jihan said without any emotion in his tone.
He asked the servant to get the bedding and arrange the room. Prince An was satisfied after looking at it, so he went in to rest.
Chu Jihan looked at the room with the door closed, curled his lips and whispered, "You deserve to be kicked out!"
Prince An, who entered the room, also pouted at the door, "Bah, this little bastard knows how to laugh at my jokes."
Su Ningxin, who had been listening to the sounds outside: "..."
[This plastic-like father-son relationship!]
After Chu Jihan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back. He was impatient to deal with this old man who was messing around. He just wanted to hold his soft little lady and sleep, okay
After taking a few steps, Chu Jihan's relaxed expression gradually became cold, because he noticed that there were people with strong martial arts skills in the room he just passed by, and there were more than one.
Originally, he couldn't detect the other party's hidden aura, but just now a person with good qinggong entered the room through the window, so Chu Jihan realized that the two people in the room were both skilled in martial arts.
Although he was alert, Chu Jihan did not change at all except that his expression was no longer as relaxed as before. He knew that Su Ningxin did not invite everyone in the inn to leave. Now he is somewhat grateful for Su Ningxin's decision. Well, at that time, I was still outside arranging carriages and horses and did not come in. If there was any conflict, Su Ningxin, who had a pregnant concubine and was powerless, might be affected.
Chu Jihan was more wary of this room, but he didn't really alert the snake. After all, the people in this room moved in before them, and their decision to stay in the hotel was made on the spur of the moment, so it shouldn't be for them.
Momo made an inconspicuous gesture in the dark, signaling the secret guards hiding in the dark to be alert to the surrounding situation. Chu Jihan returned to the room without lighting the lamp, and watched Su Ningxin sleeping peacefully in the moonlight. As he looked, Chu Jihan showed a soft smile and reached out to push the hair away from her face, and his heart calmed down.
When they woke up the next day, the snow outside had stopped, but because the heavy snow had blocked the road, they had to stay here for a few days to wait for the snow to melt and clear the way.
Chu Jihan went out early in the morning. He just said he wanted to look around and Su Ningxin didn't pay much attention to it. An emperor's dragon guard could not really travel around and take people to see the surroundings no matter where he was. It would be more consistent with his identity to find out clearly.
While Su Ningxin was drinking fish porridge, she asked Shuangbai beside her, "How is Shuanghua doing? Are you still sick?"
Shuangbai shook his head, "It looks like he's getting better, but he's just looking at Shuanghua a little distracted, and he's also in a trance when doing things."
"Go and call her over. Could it be that you have met a sweetheart?" Su Ningxin teased, and Shuanghua also giggled and covered her mouth.
Shuangbai exited the room, then looked for Shuanghua everywhere in the inn, and finally found her in Xiaoan's room.
Xiao An looked at Shuangbaili for help, with particularly aggrieved and helpless eyes, "Sister Shuangbai, my medicine!"
Shuangbai looked at Shuanghua who didn't notice her coming over at all. She seemed to be stuck in her own thoughts, grinding herbs on her hands, but she didn't notice the medicine she put in the medicine jar. It's not the same kind, there are many kinds of medicines grinded together.
Xiao An saw that Shuang Hua was in a bad state and did not dare to interrupt her. He could only let her harm her medicinal materials, and she was about to burst into tears of distress.
Shuangbai looked at this scene in a funny way, and could only pat Xiao An on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, it's okay. When we get to Prince An's Mansion, there won't be any good medicinal materials, and didn't the girl find a powerful master for you? I'll pay my respects then." Naturally, you don’t have to worry about medicinal materials after becoming a master.”
"I didn't even see the master's shadow." Xiao An muttered softly.
Shuangbai: "..." She is busy running away with the queen now. It would be great to come back alive. She can't care about you, a little apprentice.
It was hard to tell Xiao An about this, so Shuangbai pretended not to hear it, walked directly to Shuanghua and called her a few times. Seeing that she didn't respond, he snatched the medicine pestle from her hand, and then let her Shuanghua came to her senses.
"The girl called you over. Did something happen to you? Why doesn't it look right?" Shuangbai said to Shuanghua.
When Shuanghua heard that Su Ningxin called her, she walked out and said, "It's nothing, I'm just making medicine to get lost in thought."
"Hahaha, I thought you were Mu Shaoai?" Shuangbai imitated Su Ningxin's tone and said teasingly, and Shuanghua was so angry that she stepped forward to scratch her.
After all this fuss, Shuanghua's worried look faded a lot.
When they arrived at Su Ningxin's room, Su Ningxin had already finished breakfast and was leaning on the pillow to continue reading travel notes. When she heard the movement at the door, she turned her head and said to the two of them, "Shuangbai, please take down the bowls and chopsticks first, Shuanghua." Sit here, I have something to ask you."
Shuangbai knew that Su Ningxin wanted to ask Shuanghua what happened, so she didn't ask any more questions, packed her things quickly and went out, closing the door when she went out.
Su Ningxin saw Shuangbai go out, then put down the travel diary in her hand, "Did something happen?"
Before Shuanghua could speak, Su Ningxin continued, "You don't need to fool me with those pretentious words. I know your temperament. It's definitely not a trivial matter that makes you so absent-minded. It's just that you haven't been with me for a long time. It's rare to see something like this happen to you. Could it be that something happened to the concubine?"
Shuanghua shook her head, "Everything is fine, the concubine. She is in good health and nothing is wrong."
