: "Thank you, sir. Ruoxue owes you another favor."
After glancing at the beautiful hand of the woman covering his hand, Shangguan Jinghong's eyes moved, and he reached out and gently patted Ruoxue's hand.
Qiaochu was watching from the side, but at this moment he was slightly stunned, and something suddenly flashed through his mind...
She thought of what was wrong with Ruoxue's action just now! Her heart trembled and she reached out to cover her mouth.
In a trance, when everyone was saying goodbye, two things seemed to have happened.
First, Ruoxue suddenly laughed and said, these servants look well-behaved, but their hands and feet are not very flexible. I will take them away first, and then send someone to serve Master Shangguan and Miss Qiao.
Second, Shangguan Jinghong suddenly called Secretary Ji and said that he had missed a herb when picking the medicine just now, and asked him to wait a moment so that he could get it back.
She was still in a trance until she heard the sound of a door closing.
Paddock.
Ning Wang hunting area.
After a day and a night, there was still no news about Prince Rui and Princess Rui who fell off the cliff. Batches of imperial guards were sent to search the deep valley below the cliff, but they brought back no news.
Moreover, one more person has gone missing from the royal family!
The emperor ordered to set up camp in the enclosure again and issued an official document, ordering that local officers and soldiers be transferred over tonight and the number of manpower be increased to more than three times tomorrow. A total of 20,000 people would enter the valley to search the entire valley until the perfect person was found.
The emperor had issued a death order the moment Prince Rui fell into the abyss—he must be seen alive or dead!
At this time, in a corner of the hunting area, apart from Prince Ning and his wife, Zong Pu, Qin Dongning, Shen Qingling, Fang Ming, Jing Ping, Jing Qing, and everyone except Lao Tie was there. Everyone came over in their own way, and their faces were extremely solemn.
Finally, Zong Pu heaved a long sigh and said, "The Eighth Master and his wife have not been found yet. Uncle Tie risked his life to find us here in broad daylight. I wonder what has happened!"
No one spoke, and the sound was as still as death.
Suddenly, Shen Qingling said, "I'm leaving first. If there's any news from Uncle Tie, find someone to let me know."
"Sister Qingling, don't be like this. Since you have found an excuse from the prince to come out, just stay a little longer. I know you are also lying in the tent crying. It is better for you to be with us than to be sad alone." Qin Dongning wiped the tears from her eyes and advised in a hoarse voice.
She was the confidante of "Fang Jing", who was well-known in Chaoge, and was close to "Fang Jing". She went to see Shen Qingling several times during that day and night, and no one said anything.
"The Crown Prince is in an emergency right now," Zong Pu also advised, "and he thought you were frightened, so he only let you rest in the tent. Since you can come and go without any problem, you should stay for a while before leaving. After all, he has to face the Emperor's suspicion on one hand, and the Crown Princess on the other..."
As he was speaking, Jing Qing suddenly interrupted him, "My dear gentlemen, young ladies, Uncle Tie is here."
Everyone was startled and looked at the man walking out from behind the woods.
Lao Tie walked over quickly and said, "Master hasn't come back yet. No matter how big or small the matter is, let Master Wu make a decision first."
Prince Ning, who had been silent the whole time, frowned and smiled bitterly, saying, "Uncle Tie, my fifth brother and his wife have not been found yet. What big thing has happened?"
Lao Tie's eyes flashed, "My master knows that Qiao Zhenning is not a quiet person. He is worried that when the Dongling Kingdom is replaced by a new ruler and the political situation is unstable, the Qiao tribe will take the opportunity to join hands with Xixia to rebel. Therefore, he has already planted spies in the Qiao tribe. I just received an urgent report that Qiao Zhenning and Queen Fengqing disappeared mysteriously a few days ago."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. At this critical moment, even the Northern Territory Lord and his wife were missing!
Pei Lan said in a choked voice, "Is this a coincidence or something? If we count the Qiao couple, there are four people missing from the Qiao family!"
Four people.
Everyone knew what she was talking about, Qiao Chu, Qiao Zhenning and his wife, and... Qiao Mei.
It's strange to say, yesterday, after Prince Rui and his wife fell off the cliff, the Emperor ordered everyone to camp in the enclosure again, but the Crown Princess's sedan chair disappeared, and Qiaomei disappeared mysteriously.
218 You Don’t Have to Understand Me (16)
Prince Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Eighth Brother's plan cannot be put on hold. I believe he will not die here. Uncle Tie, have the secret guards over there investigate carefully to see if they can find any clues to find out where this Northern Lord has gone. This matter is probably not simple, so have them act with extreme caution and not reveal their whereabouts."
Lao Tie nodded in agreement. At this time, Jing Ping stepped forward and said, "Fifth Master, there is one thing that I have mentioned to Jing Ping briefly. It is about Concubine Qiao's mother. I heard that Concubine Qiao's mother's tribe is fighting with other tribes. The first battle has been lost. The two tribes are now reorganizing their armies. The second battle is imminent. Miluo returned to her mother's home to visit and was abducted by the Crown Princess. As soon as I return to the court, I will send someone to rescue Miluo first, and then help his tribe. I am missing now. Do you think you can send someone to rescue Miluo first, and wait for me to come back to make a decision on the rest?"
Fang Ming nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Master Wu, please see how to arrange this matter as soon as possible."
Prince Ning glanced at Shen Qingling, and Shen Qingling sneered, "My Lord, please make whatever arrangements you think are appropriate. Qing'er will not say anything."
King Kening was startled, and everyone was silent for a moment. Shen Qingling glanced at Jingping secretly and said in a low voice: "Qingling will go back first."
Zong Pu frowned and chased after him. Qin Dongning glanced at him and smiled bitterly.
After going to the medical room, Ruoxue and the others left for a while.
After a day and a night, Shangguan Jinghong and Qiaochu were hungry. They didn't care about anything else and ate lunch with the food that everyone brought when they arrived.
Qiaochu had the urge to kill Shangguan Jinghong.
After they got married, they had only eaten together a few times, and neither of them knew each other's eating habits. At this time, when they sat down to eat quietly, she discovered his strange eating habits. He didn't seem to care about the cooking skills or the quality of the food, but he never touched meat and only ate vegetarian food.
But he was the princess's savior, and they were distinguished guests, so how could they have purely vegetarian food? Even if they had some vegetables, they were mixed with meat. Now, a prince had to eat white rice.
He didn't say anything, just snorted, "I don't eat meat," and then ate three bowls of rice in one breath. But she looked at him... and felt a little distressed. How could he just eat some rice when he was injured? She suppressed the slightly sour feeling in her heart, lowered her head and ate her rice quietly.
On the opposite side, someone was eating up the food at a speed that was like whirlwind while still being able to maintain an extremely elegant posture. He fed himself in a few bites, and then he poked here and there with chopsticks, picking up food for her. He said, "Qiaochu, don't just eat rice." Then he said, "Qiaochu, you should eat more fish." Then he said, "Qiaochu, you should eat more meat."
She hadn't known he was so "wordy" before.
After he piled a mountain of food in her bowl, he thought for a moment, leaned in front of her and said, "Qiaochu, please cook me a meal. You can cook dinner and make me some vegetarian dishes."
She did have this idea in her mind. He didn't like meat, so it would be good for him to eat some vegetables. But she said, "No, have you ever seen a young lady cooking for a farmhand?"
Shangguan Jinghong snorted and said nothing more. He just stared at her eating quietly, fiddling with a pair of chopsticks like a sword to "build a mountain" for her.
After dinner, he pulled her to the couch and asked her to bandage his wound. She carefully bandaged his wound again, then pushed him away and said, "Okay, do whatever you want."
He hummed, and she lifted the quilt on the couch, and was about to start thinking, but he suddenly grabbed her and nibbled her on the lips. She was confused and hit him hard on the shoulder, but he didn't care, stroked her hair, and walked towards the pharmacy.
She was helpless. Bad guys were not scary, but what she feared the most was gangsters. Shangguan Jinghong was a bad guy before he lost his memory, and he became a gangster after he lost his memory.
She thought about it and called him, "Go to sleep. Your injuries need rest."
He has lost his memory now, so there are some things that cannot be relied upon from him, and she cannot tell him about the doubts in her heart.
There was a strange look on his face, and he pursed his lips tightly, looking like someone who wanted to laugh but didn't want to. Finally, he whispered, "Qiaochu, are you concerned about me?"
She quickly shook her head, "If you need anything, I won't have anyone to call upon."
Shangguan Jinghong said: "I'm sleeping alone now. You and I agreed to sleep together at night. I have to finish my work first so that we can go to bed early at night."
Qiaochu was speechless for a long while. What was he talking about? If she had a pillow in her hand, she would definitely throw it at him.
The tall figure of the man disappeared at the door of the pharmacy. He was probably continuing to fiddle with the tonic decoction he had told her about before, as well as preparing the antidote for Hanlan.
She sighed and began to think.
It seems impossible, but what are the chances of having the same appearance and being left-handed
Qiaomei was born left-handed, and so was Princess Ruoxue.
The maid smoothed her right sleeve, and Ruoxue used her left hand.
At that moment, Ruoxue's reaction was very fast, like a conditioned reflex, and it was inadvertent. Ruoxue must also be left-handed.
But how could Ruoxue raise her eyebrows
She and Shangguan Jinghong had only been here for one day and one night, but she had seen Qiaomei before returning to the enclosure. In other words, even if Qiaomei came here earlier, she would not have been much earlier than them.
The most important thing is, if Ruoxue really has a frown on her face, why would she come to the bottom of this valley? What's the point of creating a God Village
Moreover, if Ruoxue is really Qiaomei, then the identities of Qiao Zhenning and his wife are also suspicious, but what are these two people doing here from the north
None of this made sense, but Ruoxue did seem to be raising her eyebrows.
She was annoyed and couldn't help but ask in the direction of the pharmacy: "Shangguan Jinghong, do you think there are two people who look alike and are both left-handed?"
Shangguan Jinghong walked out of the pharmacy and went straight to the couch to sit down. He reached out to hug her, but she refused. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You have something on your mind, but what can you come up with with your broken head? Don't move, I'll tell you."
He lost his memory and some things changed, but his bad temper came back little by little and became apparent.
Qiaochu gritted his teeth, endured it, and nodded quickly. He smiled, took off his shoes, got on the bed, held her in his arms, and let her lie on his lap. He hadn't shaved for several days, and there were some slight stubble on his chin. He took her hand and touched his chin.
Qiaochu cursed with a smile and pinched him hard on the face.
He held her hand with one hand, stroked her hair with the other, and said calmly: "You are talking about Ruoxue, right?"
Qiaochu was surprised, "How did you know?"
Shangguan Jinghong chuckled and said, "Ruoxue is left-handed. Besides, you looked at her several times just now. I hope your abnormality was not noticed by the leader of the spirit tribe."
"I mean no harm."
—
"You don't mean any harm, but there's no guarantee that others won't think so. We're on someone else's land now, so be careful."
"I am a celestial being."
"Oh, humans have good and bad sides, but celestial beings don't have good and bad sides?"
"Yes, you are the bad guy."
"Whether I am a bad person or not is another matter. At least you know I will not hurt you, I will only protect you."
Qiaochu's heart was slightly moved. She couldn't stand him saying such things, which sounded rude but gentle. She quickly changed the subject, "You saw it all. It's not surprising that others saw it."
"That may not be the case," Shangguan Jinghong said calmly, "I have been watching you, so I naturally know your movements."
Qiaochu couldn't help but curse quietly, "Don't keep saying these things to me."
Shangguan Jinghong smiled, "What words?"
Qiaochu decided to shut up.
Shangguan Jinghong stopped teasing her and said, "Qiaochu, we shouldn't stay here for long."
"Yeah." Qiaochu nodded. The incident with Qiaomei reminded her of the most important thing. She really deserved to be beaten. Ever since the rape, she had been entangled in her own pain. Later, she fell off the cliff. No matter what, Shangguan Jinghong had to go out and recover his memory, and she had to stay by his side.
