She carefully put Yuanbao on the ground, touched her cloak, sighed, patted Yuanbao's head and neck, and said softly: "Go, be more cunning when you grow up, and don't let others catch you again."
The little fox circled around her, whimpering softly, and refused to leave.
"Deep bond, shallow love?" Xia Wang repeated softly, looked at her, put his finger to his lips, and whistled softly. Yuan Bao was terrified, and his hair stood up slightly. He looked at Qiaochu deeply, turned around immediately, and ran deep into the forest.
The forest was dark, and there was no trace of Xueyin anymore.
Qiaochu heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to thank King Xia, but when she looked up, she saw him staring at her deeply. Her face flushed and she quickly looked away. As she moved, her eyes fell on his arm... where he had been carrying a small bamboo basket.
When she met him at the entrance of the hunting area, she had already seen the bamboo basket. She felt a little strange at the time. It seemed a little funny for such a tall and strong man like him to carry such a small basket. But she was so focused on Yuanbao at that time that she forgot about it.
At this time, in order to hide her panic, she asked with a smile: "Master Jiu, what is that in your hand?"
When King Xia heard her mention it, he suddenly remembered something and quickly put the basket on the ground. He carefully took out a purple clay pot from it and said happily, "Drink this soup while it's hot. I went hunting with my father today and caught a lot of game. This soup is made with pheasants and rabbits..."
"You were all alone in the tent, and Shangguan Jinghong didn't care about you, and didn't even ask for someone to serve you food," he said, feeling angry again. He couldn't help but sneer, and it took him a while to suppress his anger. He said in a deep voice: "The things I asked people to bring you... were greasy, fishy and cold. You were not used to eating them at all, but you ate them all up very quickly. I..."
He paused and swallowed back the two words that were almost out of his mouth...Heartbroken.
"I told my servant to peel it carefully so it won't be greasy. I also used some wild ginseng to boil it, which is good for your body. I put some broken charcoal in the basket to keep it warm so it won't get cold... You should drink it quickly."
She stared at the man speaking happily and cautiously, and clumsily lifted the lid of the cup and handed it to her like a child presenting a treasure. Qiaochu was speechless for a long time. Finally, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and started crying.
————————
I'm sorry, everyone. I went out last night and came back very late. I fell asleep while writing. I got up today and rushed to send my friend to the bus... I know everyone waited for a long time last night and was very disappointed. I'm not saying this to explain anything, nor do I hope to be forgiven, because the song is indeed not well done. I shouldn't have said it yesterday. I guess there will be more updates very late. I should be careful when leaving comments. From Tyrant to Allure, there are some things I always think I can do, but thinking is one thing, and whether you can do it is another. I'm sorry...

She thought her tears had dried up long ago, but unexpectedly, she burst into tears all of a sudden... She really thought she was strong enough.
Seeing her like this, King Xia was at a loss for words. He comforted her repeatedly, saying in a hoarse voice, "Don't cry. If you don't like to drink, then don't drink."
He was angry about the soup and was about to throw it away, but suddenly he remembered something and frowned slightly. He put the bowl back into the basket and even carefully closed the lid. He then tried to coax her in a gentle voice.
"Qiaochu, you should drink a little. I put Baicao Pills in the soup. The medicine is precious. Although it cannot cure severe poisons, it has a strong effect in resisting poisons and is very beneficial to the body. Father only has more than ten pills. Big brother, second brother, fifth brother, eighth brother, Xiaojiu and I only have two each. I gave you one in the tent before. This is the last one."
According to Baicao Pills? I seem to have heard this name somewhere before...
Qiaochu was startled and suddenly remembered that on the eve of the hunting, in Shangguan Jinghong's study, Shen Qingling said that if Shangguan Jinghong had not given her the Baicao Pill, which he himself was reluctant to take, she would not have been able to return to him after accidentally falling into the trap.
King Xia is a noble man, and he has all kinds of precious things. If he says this pill is precious, then it must be even more precious...
Her vision became increasingly blurred, and she inexplicably felt a little angry. She stared at him with great effort and said in a serious tone, "Master Tang Jiu, please take this away. Qiaochu and you are just casual friends, and you cannot afford such a valuable thing!"
King Xia was startled, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. From childhood to adulthood, when had he ever been scolded like this? Although the emperor occasionally scolded him, and although he loved the prince the most and loved him very much, this woman, he took out his heart and lungs to treat her, but she repaid his kindness with hatred
But all he could see was her wearing his fox fur coat, with her shoulders still shaved and her hair slightly messy - this thousand-year-old fox fur coat, because of a secret, he never let anyone touch it, and it was still in the palace. When they met for the second time, he gave it to her like a fool without asking why.
At this moment, she looked at him with red eyes, and the surging anger suddenly became powerless. Her chest was still heaving slightly because of anger, but she could only clench her hands tightly and stare at her fiercely.
Seeing his indifferent look, Qiaochu felt even more flustered. He shouldn't be like this now. She saw clearly how proud he was when they first met.
She was confused and started to talk without thinking. She sneered, "When the emperor said he wanted to give me a gift, I first thought of Shangguan Jinghong, then Yuanbao, and finally you! I thought I could use this gift to exchange for Yuanbao's freedom, but then I thought, maybe you can help me save Yuanbao, and I still owe you a favor, so I might as well give the gift to you. Do you understand that everything in this world requires an equal exchange? I don't want your kindness, I don't want you to help me release Yuanbao, and I don't want your Baicao Pills. I can't afford it, do you understand? I can't afford it, Shangguan Jingcong, do you understand?"
King Xia thought he had encountered the angriest moment of his life, because he kicked the still steaming hot soup under his feet and left with a flick of his sleeves. But unexpectedly, at this moment, he was no longer angry at all.
He found himself actually liking her faint hysteria, because she was saying his own name through gritted teeth, not Jiu Ye or anything else, she called him... Shangguan Jingcong.
He liked to hear her call him Shangguan Jingcong.
He clenched his hands tightly.
He is very strong.
Yesterday, Shangguan Jinghong split the huge winter tree with a sword, and he realized that his brother's martial arts skills were so high. In terms of martial arts, he might be slightly inferior to Shangguan Jinghong, but in terms of strength and courage, Shangguan Jinghong might not be his opponent.
With such strength, he could strangle her to death with just a little effort.
For a moment, he really wanted to strangle her to death.
But immediately, he found that he couldn't be angry with her.
There is no way.
Some of them just wanted to hold her tightly in their arms, and some of them just wanted to wipe away the tears from her eyes and face.
But he didn't dare.
She is his sister-in-law.
What he feared more was seeing disgust in her eyes.
He understood what she meant by these words. She must have realized his feelings.
She doesn't love him at all.
Qiaochu gritted his teeth. He closed his eyes and looked at the purple clay pot on the ground. He said calmly, "Qiaochu, I don't need you to pay me back for anything. I don't need anything. If I don't have the Baicao Pills, I don't have them. Just tell me what you want me to do in exchange for drinking this soup. I can do what you say. Just consider it as something I owe you."
If we say that those who treat her well, Qin Ge and the doctor are for Lin Yu; Miluo is for "Qiaochu"; Duma and the beauty are for life-saving grace; the four great ones are for the master-servant relationship; Shangguan Jinghong is for Concubine Chang, then what is the man in front of her for
Just because she is who she is... no matter if she is Qiaochu or... Hailan
She looked at the bamboo basket on the ground. In the basket was a shallow iron dish filled with tiny charcoals. The charcoals glowed with a deep orange light and dark red. She wiped away her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears came. She wanted to say something, but finally, she just said hoarsely and vaguely, "I drink."
She wanted to walk over, but just as she took a step, someone hugged her tightly in his arms.
The strong arms around her waist, the faint scent of rosin mixed with amber on the man's light robe... He was not wearing a cloak, and their bodies were pressed tightly together. She could feel his intense heartbeat and his rough breathing on her hair.
She knew that he was a person who loved beauty, otherwise he wouldn't have brought so many cloaks. He wasn't wearing a cloak now because all the cloaks had been given away, including the one he was wearing, which he had taken off before taking her to the bonfire banquet, because he had to collect four cloaks...
Her originally stiff body suddenly relaxed, and she burst into tears, crying unrestrainedly... He panted softly, calling her name hoarsely, and pressed long and dense kisses on the top of her head.
In the winter woods.
Don't worry about making any noise, really.
Because everyone had been looking nervously at the two people in front of them... until now there was complete silence.
Except when King Xia said, "You are all alone in the tent, Shangguan Jinghong doesn't care about you, and doesn't even ask for someone to serve you food. The food I ordered people to bring you... is greasy, fishy and cold. You are not used to it, but you ate it up very quickly." Everyone was startled and secretly glanced at the iron-faced man standing in the front, and then no one looked at him again - they didn't dare to look again. I only remember that at that time, the man's tall body shook violently -

At that moment, the man's tall body shook violently, and then slowly hunched over.
He seemed to have been silent all along... Only then did everyone suddenly think of him.
However, before he could look, he heard a "squeak" and a ball of white fur was thrown out of the man's hand and fell down in the air.
"No one is allowed to leave! Bring this beast to Concubine Qiao's tent. If anyone tells anyone about what happened tonight, whether it's intentional or unintentional, I will kill him!"
A low, hoarse and deep voice passed by fiercely. Everyone was still in a complicated and shocked mood. The ball of hair had already fallen in the direction of Jingqing. Jingqing was startled and quickly reached out to catch the little fox named Yuanbao.
Just now, when it ran in, King Rui caught it without saying a word.
"Master," at this time, the fox Yuanbao was still barking fiercely in Jingqing's arms. Jingqing bit her lip and shouted only one sentence. The figure of King Rui had already walked quickly to the outskirts of the winter forest.
"Jingqing, shut up. Do you want to die if you stop him now?"
Prince Ning scolded and gave another bitter laugh.
Jing Qing subconsciously wanted to stamp his feet, but his feet were suspended in the air for a long time and he forgot to put them down... He actually just wanted to bandage Prince Rui's wounds...
When catching Yuanbao just now, Yuanbao tore off a piece of flesh from King Rui's hand. King Rui also pinched Yuanbao's neck fiercely, but later slowly loosened his hand and just covered its mouth with a little force. Yuanbao got ruthless and bit his palm again, but he didn't even make a sound. He just held Yuanbao cautiously, motionless, staring at the two figures in front of him.
Jing Qing saw it more clearly than anyone else because he and Shen Qingling were standing closest to King Rui.
The way Prince Rui looked just now... He had been with him for more than ten years, and he had never seen anything like this before.
Seeing the scene outside the forest, anyone would want to kill the two people, but he carefully caught the little fox and stared at them in a daze. Didn't he want to kill the fox and use it as a cloak for Miss Qingling? But he let it scratch and bite him!
Is it because... he is outstanding
Because Qiaochu doesn’t want the little fox to die
Qiaochu helped Ye win the game, and he didn't hate her anymore, but now he started to hate her again. But why didn't he have that strong feeling in his heart that he had before to scold her severely
He was a little dazed and wanted to look at other people. When he turned sideways, he saw Shen Qingling's eyes were wide open, staring at the edge of the woods like his grandfather just now.
Her hands hanging down the side of her skirt... were clenched very tightly, with all her fingers curled together.
A little further back, Jing Ping also looked distraught; Zong Pu frowned and looked at Miss Qing Ling, Miss Dong Ning.
