Seeing that Shuanghua and Xiaoan were both awake, Su Ningxin looked at them and asked, "I'll take you back, do you want to go with me?"
Faced with Su Ningxin's question, both Xiaoan and Shuanghua nodded without hesitation. Shuanghua also roughly knew something about the situation of these Miao people in the past few days.
There seems to be civil strife in the Miao territory, with two factions of elders and clan leaders fighting. It seems that my bloodline is very important, and they want to use this important bargaining chip to seize power.
If she still had a glimmer of hope before, now she no longer thinks about her family at all. Anyway, she has been used to being alone since she was a child.
By the time the emperor and Chu Jihan got rid of the entanglement of the Miao men and opened the tent curtain and came out, Su Ningxin was no longer around.
Chu Jihan looked at the emperor with sad eyes, his eyes seemed to say, 'What kind of teammate did you find for me? It's good if his IQ doesn't hold me back. Do you still want me to support him in taking the position of clan leader? '
The emperor was also a little confused and touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.
On the other hand, it was not easy for Su Ningxin to leave with Shuang Hua and Xiao An, who didn't know martial arts. After all, there couldn't be no secret guards around the emperor. After she took the two people away, she clearly felt that someone was chasing after her.
Fortunately, Su Ningxin had a foresight when she arrived, and when she was looking for traces of the Miao men's light in the woods, she set up a formation, which was able to delay the secret guards for a while.
When the three of them arrived at the place where Prince An's guards were encamped, Su Ningxin immediately hit them with a rake and made the secret guards and guards quarrel, telling them that assassins were chasing her behind.
These people who came out with Chu Jihan were all secret guards of Prince Anjun's palace. They did not know the Long Guards, so the two sides confronted each other.
In the end, it was Long Wei who retreated first. After all, they knew very well that both themselves and the other party were being used, and could not explain clearly. There was no point in continuing the stalemate. It would be better to go back and report to the emperor and the leader before making a decision.
On the other side, Chu Jihan finally accepted the task given to him by the emperor. As long as they control the Miao territory this time, they will not only have an additional barrier in the south, but they can also effectively use the poisons of the Miao territory to make weapons against Dayong in the north. , has a hundred benefits and no harm.
Chu Jihan naturally understood the significance of this, so even though he knew that this mission was difficult, he still agreed to it. Besides, the emperor had already spoken, how could he refuse? An emperor would not care about the relationship between relatives several generations apart. .
When Chu Jihan returned to the guards, he realized that Jia Ji had played tricks on all his men. Su Ningxin had already left with Shuanghua and Xiaoan. Even though Chu Jihan was so angry that it was of no use.
In the end, Chu Jihan could only swear in his heart that if he met Jia Ji next time, he would never let him go easily. Then he gave the antidote he had obtained from the Miao people to the guards and took it back to Su Ningxin. It was too late later. After returning home, he told his father, queen, mother, concubine and Su Ningxin a few words, and then headed south with the Miao people.
Su Ningxin took Shuanghua and Xiaoan back, telling them to walk slowly and wait until Chu Jihan's guards arrived before asking them to take them back to the inn.
They also discussed the excuse with the two of them, saying that it was Jia Ji who saw that they were abducted by the Miao people, so he rescued them. Later, he felt that he, a man, and taking their women would affect their reputation, so he quickly Let them go back by themselves when they get to the inn.
Seeing that they understood his arrangement, Su Ningxin separated from them and left.
First, he went to the mountain to get back the bamboo basket for collecting herbs that he had put there before leaving. Then he changed his clothes and wiped some soil on it. Finally, he picked a few weeds on the mountain and threw them into the bamboo basket before going back down the mountain. Inn.
As soon as she appeared outside the inn, Su Ningxin heard Hongzhu's surprised voice, "The Crown Princess!"
Then her voice became higher and she shouted towards the inn, "The Crown Princess is back!"
After rubbing her ears, Su Ningxin strolled into the inn. As soon as she arrived downstairs, she saw the princess being helped downstairs by a red candle.
Su Ningxin hurriedly took a few steps forward to support the princess, "Mother, concubine, you are a pregnant woman now. What if you hurt the fetus if you walk up the stairs in such a hurry?"
The princess tapped her forehead with her other hand, "You still have the nerve to say that I won't hurt the fetus because I fell, but you will hurt the fetus because I was anxious. Where have you been? Why did you come back?"
Su Ningxin hurriedly took out the excuse she had prepared earlier, "Mother, concubine, it's all Ning'er's fault. I fell when I went up the mountain and sprained my foot and couldn't walk, but I wasn't willing to return without success. , so he stayed for a few more days and came back after finding the medicinal herbs."
"You kid, I thought you were stable, but I didn't expect you to be careless. It really worried me to death."
"Concubine, don't be angry. How can Ning'er cope with being so angry? Look at me, I'm back well." Su Ningxin hurriedly comforted her.
The princess looked Su Ningxin up and down, suddenly thought of something, and asked anxiously, "Didn't you just say that you sprained your foot? Please ask the doctor to take a look."
Su Ningxin was very pleased with the princess's concern for her, and felt warm in her heart. She smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, Ning'er is a doctor herself. She has applied medicine to her feet for a long time, and now nothing happens." there is none left."
The princess felt relieved and took Su Ningxin back to her room. After questioning her carefully for a long time, she finally felt relieved.
After returning from the princess's room, Su Ningxin asked the inn to send hot water, and after taking a good bath to wash away the dust of the past few days, she felt much less tired from the long journey.
In the afternoon, the guards from Anjun Prince's Mansion came back with Shuanghua and Xiaoan, and the prince and princess had no doubts about it.
Concubine Li had some speculations in her mind, but when she faced Su Ningxin's calm yet deep eyes, Concubine Li silently shut her mouth to avoid being punished again.
The prince summoned the guards to inquire about the situation and learned that Chu Jihan had received a mission and went elsewhere. He asked them to take Su Ningxin back to the county prince's mansion first. The prince was not surprised by this. After all, they knew Chu Jihan's identity. In this way happens frequently.
When the prince summoned the guards, Su Ningxin also got the antidote that Chu Jihan asked them to send back from the guards. She pretended to ask a few questions about Chu Jihan's situation, but the guards ignored him and ignored him. Not to mention Chu Jihan’s whereabouts.
After all, Su Ningxin had a pretty good guess as to what Chu Jihan was going to do. She asked questions to maintain her character. Seeing the guard hesitant and acting uneasy, she was really used to acting. Su Ning felt extremely tired.
