Song Yu, who was walking out of the cave, paused for a moment, frowned slightly and looked at Bai Yin, the miracle doctor beside him, "What about storing it in a wooden box?"

"Then the effect of the medicine is not that good." Each medicinal material has its own personality, let alone medicinal materials of the level of snow toad.

Looking at the biting snow toad in his hand, Song Yu pursed his lips and became selfish.

Snow Toad was finally found, and they could be considered very lucky. In any case, the purpose of their trip was finally achieved, and they felt relieved at last.

But for Ling Zixuan, Song Yu decided to continue searching on the snowy mountains until the deadline, trying to find the second snow toad.

It's a pity that all their luck ran out. They stayed in the snow mountain for another month and still couldn't find the second snow toad. In desperation, Song Yu and his party had no choice but to go down the mountain.

Ling Zixuan, who was full of expectations, was wearing a thick fox fur coat and holding a hot hand stove in her hands, but she still felt the cold constantly intruding into her body, and the seams in her bones were cold.

Just seeing her cousin shaking his head with guilt, Ling Zixuan's pale lips trembled with disappointment, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ling." Song Yu also apologized slightly and took out a token from Duke Dingguo's Palace. "I am responsible for things turning like this. This is a token from Duke Dingguo's Palace."

, If Miss Ling needs it in the future, she can come to Dingguo Palace to find me, and I will definitely not refuse anything I can do."

"As well as this search for Snow Toad, I will also report the Ling family's contribution to the emperor."

Looking at the token in front of her, the joy in Ling Zixuan's eyes completely faded, she pursed her lips, and finally reached out to take the token.

Seeing this, Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Since Ling Zixuan took the token, it meant that she agreed to his compensation, and he no longer felt guilty.

"Get ready and leave for Beijing immediately!"

After settling this matter, Song Yu strode towards the inn without any pause. Yu'er didn't have much time, and he was eager to return home at this moment.

After understanding Song Yu's plan, Ling Zixuan was shocked. She looked at Bai Yin and Bai Huan who were sitting down in the lobby of the inn to eat braised pork and fresh fish soup. She walked up slowly and asked, "Two seniors,

You have just come down from the snow-capped mountains, why don’t you rest for two days before setting off?”

"Isn't this that boy Song Yu who is thinking about his wife at home? His heart is like an arrow. It's great to be young!"

Looking at the anxious Ling Zixuan, Bai Huan raised his eyebrows and started teasing with envy.

"Oh...yes...that's it." Bai Huan smiled happily, but Ling Zixuan's face stiffened, and she turned around and left in a depressed mood.

"Huh! You don't learn well at a young age!" Looking at Ling Zixuan's leaving figure, Bai Huan snorted, his displeasure written on his face.

"Why are you doing this? You're still a little girl." Bai Yin reluctantly persuaded.

"A little girl who thinks about other people's men?" Bai Huan curled his lips and said angrily, "Anyway, I can't stand it. You said you ate so many good things from that girl An Ruoyu and just stood back and watched. You can't stand it either.

No regrets."

"Look at Song Yu's appearance. Do you think she will easily take advantage of her? I'm afraid she can't even see what he looks like. Besides, Miss Ling's transformation was to help us find Xue Chan.

In this case, you should be polite." Miss Ling is also a poor person, that is too cruel for a woman.

"Senior brother, are you stupid? In the end, it has nothing to do with Song Yu. She was the one who wanted to follow him, and it was she who accidentally slipped into the ice spring. It was Song Yu who was kind enough to save her after finding the snow toad.

It took another month to find the second one. You have to know that if we delay here for one more day, that girl An Ruoyu will suffer for one more day."

"Moreover, didn't Song Yu just give her a token, a promise from Duke Dingguo? Don't say you don't know how heavy it is. Since she accepted it, it means that she also approved the solution. He can do it.

.”

"Okay, okay! I was wrong! I was wrong! You are right, everything you said is right!"

This has reached a level of shamelessness. Bai Yin quickly nodded and admitted defeat. He couldn't say it.

"What I said was right!" Bai Huan rolled his eyes at the old-fashioned senior brother, "Song Yu was also decisive. He solved this rotten love affair with a promise and blocked the opportunity for her to get involved. He did a good job."

"The promise from Duke Ding is too tempting for Miss Ling to refuse." At this point, Bai Yin had to praise Song Yu's decisiveness. This was because he saw what Miss Ling was thinking and accepted it.

This token will no longer be able to be used as a basis for this matter in the future.

…

At that time, Xu Jinbao, who had just come down from the snow-capped mountains, came to his cousin Ling Zixuan's room with an apologetic look on his face. He didn't know what to say. His cousin had become like this and Xue Chan hadn't been found. He didn't know how to face it.

cousin.

"I'm sorry, I... didn't find the snow toad, but don't worry, there are other medicinal materials in this world besides snow toad that can also cure you. I, the Xu family, are the richest in the world, and I will pay you a lot of money, so I will definitely be able to find the medicine to treat you.

!”

The miracle doctor Bai Yin once said that snow toad is just a medicine that can cure my cousin. There are other medicines that can cure my cousin's body, but... they are all very precious medicinal materials, similar to snow toad.

"We'll talk about this later. Cousin, pack your things, and we'll go to the capital with Duke Ding." After digging out his things, Ling Zixuan didn't even look at Xu Jinbao, and just packed them up on his own.

"Oh...huh?" Xu Jinbao didn't react for a moment, "Going to the capital? Why are you going to the capital? The capital is in such a mess now. Why are you thinking about running there? I think we should search on this snowy mountain for a while longer.

, your body is the top priority now, don’t give up hope!”

"I didn't give up. Just because I didn't find the snow toad, I had to follow Duke Ding to the capital!" Looking at her anxious cousin, Ling Zixuan paused in her movements. She had already thought very clearly.

"Ah? What do you mean?" Xu Jinbao didn't realize what she meant at first. He was stunned for a moment before he realized, "You are going for Duke Ding! Why do you still have such thoughts?"

"

Xu Jinbao's face was extremely ugly. He didn't believe that cousin Zixuan had such thoughts. He thought she would give up after chatting with her on the snow mountain, but he didn't expect that she would become even more serious now. Does she know what she is doing!

"Why can't I have such thoughts!"

Faced with his cousin's question, Ling Zixuan put down the things in his hands and raised his eyes to look at him. There was no trace of embarrassment in his eyes, only determination. "Ding Guo Gong is extraordinary in his beauty and bravery. No matter his family background or power, few people in this world are like him."

Why can't I be tempted by someone who can compare to such an outstanding man?"

"I, Ling Zixuan, think I'm not bad at all. There's nothing I can't do to be worthy of Duke Ding!" He raised his head. As the best and most favored junior of the Ling family, his confidence and pride were evident at this moment.

Revealed without a doubt.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about!" Xu Jinbao was furious.

"Yes! Duke Dingguo is indeed the most powerful among men, and he is indeed someone who can be entrusted with his whole life, but he already has a wife. This is the biggest problem. Do you want to get involved in other people's families? Do you want to

Do you want to be a concubine for the Duke of Ding?"

Looking at his obsessed cousin, Xu Jinbao was heartbroken. He never expected that his cousin Zixuan would have such a confused mind.

"So what!" But in the face of Xu Jinbao's strong opposition, Ling Zixuan said calmly without batting an eyelid, "That is Duke Dingguo, powerful and outstanding, and I am the one marrying her.

She's so high up, I'm willing to be her concubine."

"What's more, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone Ding Guo Gong. Moreover, as long as I marry Ding Guo Gong, then my Ling family will also have a backer. I no longer have to worry about anyone making trouble, just like this time in the palace.

If I want Snow Lotus Pills, if I have Duke Ding’s support, I won’t be asked to come to this snowy mountain in person and suffer this disaster.”

"You were raised and pampered by your grandparents, uncles and aunts. They just want you to marry a good man, be a married woman, and live your whole life smoothly. A concubine is a concubine, even if

Even being Duke Ding's concubine cannot change this fact, so why do you bother yourself for this little thought?"

Xu Jinbao wished he could wake up his cousin. What kind of twisted views is this? No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot be a concubine. Is being a concubine so fun?

"What's more, the deep relationship between Duke Dingguo and his wife is unintentional for you. Didn't the token he just gave you express everything? You accepted it, so why bother with it anymore!" Xu Jinbao was furious.

Listening to his cousin's words, Ling Zixuan smiled bitterly, "No matter how moved I was before this, I suppressed my thoughts just like you thought."

With red eyes, she raised her hand to touch her flat belly. The pain in her eyes stung Xu Jinbao's eyes, "But it's different now. Who would be willing to marry a woman who can't bear children to be his wife, even if someone is willing to marry me?"

, who can guarantee that he will not dislike me and not just covet the wealth and power of my Ling family."

Tears welled up in his eyes. Ling Zixuan, who had always been so proud and confident, looked at his cousin sadly, "Rather than fall into such an end, I might as well marry Duke Ding as my concubine. At least Duke Ding is a good person."

Gentleman, even if you don't have me in your heart, you will not treat me badly, nor will you covet the money and power of my Ling family. You can still be the backer of my Ling family, and you will see that he has some responsibility when I become like this.

Treat me preferentially. Compared with the two, why don’t I choose to marry Dingguo Gong as my concubine?”

"I will definitely find the snow toad and I will definitely cure you. Don't get into trouble!" Xu Jinbao was anxious.

"But how long will it take? The last time the Snow Toad appeared was three hundred years ago. I have to plan for myself!"

"Cousin Zixuan..."

In the end, Xu Jinbao was left speechless by Ling Zixuan's words. He couldn't say anything when she mentioned her infertility. What's more, his cousin had so many arguments that he was almost convinced.

But just thinking of An Ruoyu made Xu Jinbao sober up again. He didn't agree with his cousin's behavior, but he couldn't persuade her, so he could only stay silent.

So when Song Yu mounted his horse and was about to hit the road, Xu Jinbao and Ling Zixuan's carriages were already waiting at the door of the inn, wanting to go with them all the way.

Seeing this, Song Yu frowned tightly. He Shun understood his master's thoughts and knew that he was already unhappy, so he smiled and said, "You two, I'm waiting to return to Beijing in a hurry. I'm going to rush all the way. I'm afraid.

It’s not convenient for me to go with you two.”

"Are you so anxious?" Ling Zixuan is a little anxious. Her body can't stand the fatigue now. If this is the case, she will not be able to keep up. In that case, her idea of ​​slowly making Dingguo Gong happy with her will be ruined.

.

"I've been out for a long time, and the Duke is thinking about his wife. I'm... I'm really sorry." He glanced at Ling Zixuan, and He Shun poked her in the heart. Faced with such a shameless woman, he wouldn't do it.

He will be polite, at least he ate so many delicious things from Madam.

As if he didn't see Ling Zixuan's frozen face, Song Yu sat on the horse and clasped his fists, "Thank you both for your help this time. My promise will always be valid. Goodbye!"

Before Ling Zixuan could say anything else, Song Yu and his entourage had already ridden away on horseback. The horses' hooves flew up and splashed dust all over the ground. Ling Zixuan was left holding nothing, with a ferocious look on his face.

"You have seen Duke Dingguo's attitude. Do you want to continue?"

Seeing Song Yu and his group leaving quickly, Xu Jinbao breathed a sigh of relief, "Good to go! Good to go!"

"Of course we have to continue!" But Ling Zixuan gritted her teeth and said firmly: "Let's follow!"
To be continued...
