Chapter 137: The troubled county master is here again
"You really want to die!" Huang Chenling pulled up the quilt with her big hands and covered the two of them beautifully. Then, pieces of clothing were scattered under the bed.
An hour later, Yan Ruocheng took out her little hand from the quilt and fumbled for her clothes under the bed, but Huang Chenling's big hand grabbed it back.
"I haven't had enough exercise yet? You want to run away?" Huang Chenling said mischievously.
"I've been doing this for so long and it's not enough. This little guy's back hurts..." Yan Ruocheng hit him lightly and said.
"Regardless of this, who told you to speak first? Keep going! Stop trying to find excuses to run away!" Huang Chenling said domineeringly.
"..." Yan Ruocheng felt that he was digging his own grave and should not have led him.
At this time, Wang Xiulin's sweet voice came faintly from a distance. Yan Ruocheng, who had sharp ears, heard it sensitively and said: "Wait... do you hear that? It's Princess Wang.
The voice said, Princess, she is here, it’s not good!”
"You are trying to lie to me again, why is she here?" Huang Chenling didn't believe her.
"Really, please listen carefully, I'm not joking." Yan Ruocheng packed up his clothes in a panic, threw them to him, and hurriedly dressed himself.
"Brother Chenling——!" Soon, as she said, Wang Xiulin was running over calling Huang Chenling's nickname as usual. Fortunately, she didn't like to change this habit.
"Wow! Why is she really here? Hurry up and hide?" He started to panic now. When he looked at her again, she had already put on her clothes quickly.
"Wow! You dressed so fast!" Huang Chenling was surprised.
"The villain has already said that. Second Prince, you can take care of it yourself! I, villain, jump out of the window and run away!" After she finished speaking, she picked up the medicine box, climbed through the window with an arrow, and slipped away without a trace.
"You're so good. Didn't you have back pain just now?" Huang Chenling looked at her leaving figure on the bed and couldn't help but vomit.
"Brother Chenling——! I'm here, come and open the door quickly!" Wang Xiulin was outside the door, unable to push it open, so he knocked on the middle of the door.
"Okay, wait a moment." Huang Chenling threw a coat over her head depressedly, got out of bed and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Wang Xiulin rushed over and hugged him. He showed off his chest and abdominal muscles and looked handsome, which made Wang Xiulin fall in love with him and hugged his waist and refused to let go.
Huang Chenling touched her head and asked, "Xiulin, why are you here?"
"I'm here to take you back. My adoptive father asked me to come. Did you forget to go back and prepare for the Holy Emperor's birthday banquet?" Wang Xiulin rested his chin on his arms and said the reason.
"Oh, you didn't mean, I really almost forgot. It's just that I still have some official business to do, so I can't go back yet." Huang Chenling answered as if it was a trivial matter. She already hated her father to the extreme.
Yes, but I can't fight him yet.
"That's it. I'll wait for you to finish it before we go back together. Yes, I brought you some topical plaster, which can relieve the pain. Aren't your arms fixed? Why are they all untied? It doesn't hurt anymore.
"?" Only now did Wang Xiulin notice that the white cloth strips on his arms were scattered.
"It hurts. It's just that it hurts more after being tied for too long, so I untied it to get some air." He almost forgot that he and Yan Ruocheng were playing so crazy just now that he didn't even notice the stinging pain in his arm.
"Then let's apply ointment on the bed."
"OK, all right."
After escaping, Yan Ruocheng went to the kitchen to get some soup, and returned to Huan's room with pastries and preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
Huan was already lying on the bed, and said with a flat mouth: "Where have you been? You said you were going to help me get breakfast, but you went for a few hours before coming back. Is this how you take care of the injured?"
"I thought you would sleep for a few more hours, so I cooked it slowly and brought it back slowly." Yan Ruocheng explained casually, placed the food basket on the wooden table, and took out the breakfast.
"Which one do you want to eat first? Tonic soup, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, or pastries." She showed the dishes and gave him a choice.
"Let's eat preserved egg and lean meat porridge, at least it has some meat." Huan said helplessly.
"Okay." She took it over and sat on the bedside to feed him.
"Let me see if your forehead is still hot?" She fed him for a while, then touched his forehead to detect the heat. Yan Ruocheng had a habit of brushing away the stray bangs with small movements, and then stroking them with her palms.
Huan looked at her quietly. The more he looked at her actions, the more she resembled the deceased woman in his heart. He began to think wildly, is there really such a thing as reincarnation after death?
"Hey, why are you in a daze? Open your mouth. You still have some residual fever. Don't get out of bed today. Just lie down for me." She blew on the porridge water and said.
"It's so stuffy and boring. Sitting on the bed like this makes my waist sore. Why don't you help me go for a walk and breathe fresh air. This will be better for the injury." Huan came back to his senses.
, he said deliberately that he wanted her to go out for a walk with him.
"Don't do it! There is a troublesome person here. If you go out and she sees you, you will be in big trouble." Yan Ruocheng said immediately to dissuade him.
"What big shot is coming? Do you need to be so afraid?" Huan asked curiously.
"You don't have to worry about this. You're not allowed to go out today anyway! Have a good rest." She didn't want to explain that much.
The more she didn't explain, the more curious he became.
"Then it's even more important to go out and take a look, since you can't explain clearly." He held his chin and said with a wicked smile.
"Why are you disobedient? It's the princess who is here, but it doesn't really matter. I don't want you to go out and cause trouble to the second prince." She said bluntly.
"It's the second prince again. You've been protecting him all day long. You're so partial." He reached out and flicked her forehead and said boringly.
"Partiality is inevitable. Eat your porridge quickly and stop talking nonsense." She answered calmly.
"..." Huan didn't ask any more questions.
After breakfast was finished, he lay back on the bed, held her little hand in his and said, "Sit here and stay with me."
Yan Ruozhen had no intention of going out at all, because she was also afraid that she would be seen by Wang Xiulin and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Okay, I'm here to take care of you. Go to sleep, I won't leave." She nodded and said with a smile.
"Um..." he responded, but refused to let go.
Yan Ruocheng gently pried his hand away, but was held tighter.
"Why are you holding my hand? Go to sleep quickly. I said I won't leave until you leave. Stop making trouble." She patted his hand.
"I want to hold your hand and sleep, so that I can sleep more soundly. Just let me go, Ruoqi..." Huan did not use his usual cynical tone and became sad.
Yan Ruozhen thought that he could let go of his hand when he fell asleep, so she reluctantly agreed: "Okay, just hold it and go to sleep." She helped him cover him with the quilt.
After about two sticks of incense, he slowly fell asleep. However, his sleep was not very peaceful, and she gently tried to withdraw her little hand.
Huan's hand unconsciously grabbed her tightly again. She thought he was awake, but when she looked up, she was still asleep. He just started murmuring: "Don't go..."
"You're already asleep, why are you still holding on to me?" She forcefully took her hands out, rubbed her sore waist and beat her bones.
Maybe she and Huang Chenling had played too much before, and watching Huan fall asleep, she yawned lazily, making her also want to doze off.
However, sleeping on the table would only make her back more sore. She aimed at the innermost position of the bed, and she happened to be half asleep on the bed.
She squinted her eyes, took off her embroidered shoes, climbed onto the bed quietly without thinking, slipped inside, and then lay down carefully, trying not to wake her up.
"Huh!" She lay down comfortably, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Huang Chenling was pestered by Wang Xiulin and could not move, so he had to take her with him to do some business.
The two got into the carriage, "Brother Chenling, where are we going?" Wang Xiulin asked.
"Go to Lord Yan to ask about the recent assassins? He only reported to the emperor brother, and then told me. I couldn't find the emperor brother, so I had to find him." Huang Chenling said a little angrily.
"It's true, these officials only see Brother Fengmo. Don't be angry, Brother Chenling, you are the only one in my eyes." Wang Xiulin said, holding his cheeks.
"Don't flatter me like a villain, I don't like to hear it." Huang Chenling dismissed.
"Brother Chenling, I heard that the Naxiao envoy was stabbed to death by an assassin, so he bit Brother Fengmo and said he sent someone to poison him." Wang Xiulin began to return to the topic.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Huang Chenling asked, looking at her, she seemed to have something to say.
"Actually, my adoptive father sent me here because he wanted me to tell you quietly that he secretly sent that assassin." Wang Xiulin said seriously.
"Why did the emperor do this? He deliberately aroused the suspicion of the Jade Kingdom envoy. Did he want to cause external chaos?" Huang Chenling said calmly after listening.
The emperor's uncle, Huang Guiyuan, had lived quite peacefully in the past few years and had no objection to the imperial power. However, as far as he knew, Huang Guiyuan was actually secretly plotting a rebellion. He had also been involved in many assassination incidents before.
They sent people to secretly investigate, but they were stopped every time by Huang Guiyuan who interfered.
Gradually, he also began to suspect Huang Guiyuan, and usually just pretended to be nonchalant and continued to cooperate with him in acting.
"Father, he hopes that you can help and send someone to poison the Nahu envoy to death. He also wants to die naturally." Wang Xiulin said with a cute look and a terrifying look in his eyes.
"Do you think I can help?" Huang Chenling asked.
"I'll help. Brother Chenling, haven't you always wanted to beat brother Fengmo? Your adoptive father has long been optimistic about you. If you do it, you will get your wish." Wang Xiulin seemed to have changed into a different person.
, his face is full of conspiracy and conspiracy.
"What if I say I won't help?" Huang Chenling wanted to hear what she would say.
"My foster father doesn't like useless people. Brother Chenling, you should know this better than me. I'm afraid he will think you are in the way and I don't know what he will do, so you should listen to me and send someone directly.
Poison the Nahu envoy, he is just a member of the enemy country anyway. It is not a pity to die!" Wang Xiulin naturally protected him and persuaded him to do it.
