The Northwestern King was attacked and disappeared, which alarmed all places. His Majesty ordered the governor of Liangzhou and the protector of Longxi Road to search for him with all their might, and secretly ordered the garrison troops bordering the Turks to keep a close eye on his movements and be prepared for a fight.
Shen Xihe waited quietly for the results of these people's search. When the news of the fruitless search reached Kyoto, she would go to His Majesty and ask for permission to search for the person personally.
"With such a big commotion, will the Turks really cause chaos?" Shen Xihe knew that Xiao Huayong must have made proper arrangements, but he still wanted to know whether Xiao Huayong intended to use this as an opportunity to provoke a war.
Perhaps because he was sexually unsatisfied, Xiao Huayong looked listless today. He drooped his eyelids and looked at Shen Xihe with resentment.
Shen Xihe glanced at him and happened to hear Short-Ming's cry, so he clapped his hands. Short-Ming meowed twice and ran in, heading straight for Shen Xihe.
Shen Xihe took the jerky next to him and handed it to Duanming. Duanming's big round eyes were bright and he was about to stretch out his claws to grab it with his mouth open, but Shen Xihe turned the jerky in his hand and stuffed it into Xiao Huayong's mouth.
"Meow?" It gave a short cry, then pounced towards Xiao Huayong with round eyes and raised sharp claws.
Without waiting for Xiao Huayong to catch it, Shen Xihe half-grasped its neck and quickly lay down on the ground, crying out in grievance, with drooping eyelids and a look of great resentment in his eyes.
Shen Xihe brought his short life in front of Xiao Huayong: "Did you see it?"
Xiao Huayong, who had a piece of meat jerky stuffed into his mouth by his wife, was still chewing it with enjoyment, his mind and eyes full of his wife. He was suddenly asked this question by his wife and was a little confused for a moment.
"It looks exactly the same as you did just now." Shen Xihe nodded his short-lived little head.
Xiao Huayong's eyes then moved to the short-lived person: after looking at him for a moment, he had to tell the truth: "It's really ugly."
"Meow—" Short-lived can't stand people saying it's ugly. It seems to understand this sentence. When Chu Shulin said it was ugly, it scratched it hard.
When it heard Xiao Huayong say that it was ugly, it suddenly found the strength to open its eyes and rushed towards Xiao Huayong, looking as if it was going to fight to the death.
How skilled was Xiao Huayong? How could he not avoid it? Just when he instinctively wanted to avoid it, he restrained himself and just deviated a little. The short-lived claws brushed the side of his neck, leaving three thin scratches.
"Beichen!" Shen Xihe's pupils shrank, and she strode forward. She glanced at the wound on Xiao Huayong's neck, which was faintly bleeding. She shouted, "Zhenzhu, get the medicine box!"
Xiao Huayong did not like servants to serve him closely. After he married Shen Xihe, except for washing in the morning and preparing meals in the morning and evening, usually all the servants served outside, and only he and Shen Xihe were together.
Zhenzhu heard Shen Xihe's cry outside, and hurried in, took the medicine box in the house, and was about to go forward to see Xiao Huayong's injuries.
Xiao Huayong dodged and said, "It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it."
"I want to see it." Shen Xihe said seriously.
"No need." Xiao Huayong, who never contradicted Shen Xihe, contradicted Shen Xihe for the first time.
Zhenzhu looked at Shen Xihe, then at Xiao Huayong. She was in a very difficult situation. She dared not disobey the Crown Princess's orders, but the Crown Prince was not cooperating, so she did not dare to offend him.
