Ning Qiao's words rang in Gongsun Wenqing's ears. The fatigue she had felt due to running around these days was instantly cured by Ning Qiao's words.
She pursed her lips and smiled, then held Ning Qiao's hand and said: "Brother Ning Qiao, don't talk nonsense. You don't have to be like this. This is what Wen Qing should do. If it weren't for brother Ning Qiao's life-saving grace, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Gongsun Wenqing."
Gongsun Wenqing's eyes were full of tenderness and firmness. Her persistence was right after all. As long as she fulfilled brother Ning Qiao's wish, he would change back to his original appearance.
However, when Ning Qiao heard Gongsun Wenqing's words, a flash of stiffness flashed on his face, but he quickly hid it. Because of the cover of the mask, Gongsun Wenqing did not notice the slightest difference.
Ning Qiao actually didn't understand what Gongsun Wenqing said. From the first time they met to now, Gongsun Wenqing had said these words more than once, but Ning Qiao was very confused. When did he save this valuable Gongsun family leader?
Miss.
But no matter what, he gained the favor of Miss Gongsun. Naturally, he couldn't ask such questions. Anyway, there was no harm in him embracing the Gongsun family. He also expected to use the power of the Gongsun family to give him a favor.
To restore the country by oneself.
Ning Qiao concealed a smile, and then said tentatively: "Wen Qing, when will the medical sage come to detoxify me? Is there anything we should prepare in advance?"
Gongsun Wenqing shook his head: "The Queen didn't mention it. I think the medical sage has his own measurement. She didn't say the specific time, but it's tomorrow anyway.
It's just that you have to detoxify yourself in the Lu Kingdom. Wen Qing can't accompany brother Ning Qiao, and brother Ning Qiao has to take care of himself."
Hearing this, Ning Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. After getting the confirmation, he felt much more at ease. Then he looked at Gongsun Wenqing with some worry and said: "Wen Qing, aren't you waiting for me in Lu country? Is something important happening in the clan?"
thing?"
Hearing Ning Qiao's concerned tone about her, Gongsun Wenqing felt sweet in her heart. Brother Ning Qiao still cared about her. Although there must be a conspiracy waiting for her in the family, it would be a tough battle for her to go back by herself.
.
But in order not to worry his sweetheart, Gongsun Wenqing still raised a relaxed smile: "Brother Ning Qiao, don't worry, just concentrate on detoxification. It's just some small things, I can handle them soon."
Ning Qiao looked hesitantly into Gongsun Wenqing's eyes and said, "Do you need me to go back with you? At least there will be one more person to help you."
If Manager Sun or Chuntao Xiayu were here, they would probably sneer at Ning Qiao's words. He, a loser, would only be a hindrance after following Gongsun Wenqing back. How could he have the face to say this?
But Gongsun Wenqing believed it. Although she knew very well that Ning Qiao was of no use to her and might even be a drag on her, this sentiment was enough to move her.
Gongsun Wenqing blinked, shook his head and said: "No need! Have you forgotten why we came to the Lu Kingdom? After so much effort, I finally asked the Medical Saint to detoxify you. Don't you plan to detoxify?"
Ning Qiao looked at Gongsun Wenqing affectionately and said, "But if you go back alone this time, how can I trust you alone?"
Gongsun Wenqing squeezed Ning Qiao's hand and said with a chuckle: "I'm just going home. If there's any danger at home, I'll do something and come back. Brother Ning Qiao doesn't have to worry about Wen Qing.
On the other hand, brother Ning Qiao, our relationship with the Lu State is not very good. People here may not treat you the same way, but they won't treat you too kindly. You have to be more careful.
I will leave some people in the capital to take care of Brother Ning Qiao, and Brother Ning Qiao can give them orders if necessary."
Gongsun Wenqing took out an exquisitely crafted jade plaque from his arms and placed it in Ning Qiao's hand.
It was a jade token used by Gongsun Wenqing to order some secret guards. Now that it was handed over to Ning Qiao, it was equivalent to dividing the power to protect him.
Ning Qiao always knew that there were people secretly protecting Gongsun Wenqing, but those people did not protect him and were only responsible for protecting Gongsun Wenqing.
Not even Gongsun Wenqing can change this.
However, in fact, the secret guards were protecting the person holding this jade pendant. This was also a trump card of Gongsun Wenqing, but it was handed over to Ning Qiao at this time.
Ning Qiao was overjoyed: "Wen Qing..."
Gongsun Wenqing took a deep look at Ning Qiao but said nothing.
Manager Sun from outside arrived at the door and knocked on the door and said, "Miss, the carriage is ready. If you don't leave, you will be late."
Gongsun Wenqing responded and finally swallowed the advice on his lips: "Brother Ning Qiao, I'm leaving."
Ning Qiao hugged Gongsun Wenqing into his arms: "Be careful along the way."
Finally, Ning Qiao saw Gongsun Wenqing off. Gongsun Wenqing got on the carriage and still looked behind him reluctantly.
Manager Sun and Chuntao Xiayu breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't need to take Ning Qiao with them on this trip. Going back would be the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den, so they were no longer afraid.
However, not far from the capital, the carriage had just arrived on the official road. At an intersection of the only road, there stood a man, wearing a mysterious black robe lying on the floor, with long hair tied up with a jade crown, facing the breeze.
, the ring on his body jingled.
Gongsun Wenqing, who was closing his eyes in the carriage, vaguely heard the voice and felt it was extremely familiar. Almost the next moment, a face wearing a mask appeared in his mind. The cunning fox eyes under the mask were slightly raised, as if there was something hidden inside.
With thousands of words.
She couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage, and saw a slender and straight figure standing by the road not far ahead, revealing an angular profile with a cold temperament.
By some strange coincidence, Gongsun Wenqing said: "Stop the car."
Manager Sun stopped the carriage and naturally saw the people on the roadside, looking at them with a smile, obviously coming for them.
How could the people of Yunyuan Pavilion be waiting for them here?
Manager Sun frowned and was about to speak when Gongsun Wenqing opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
"Lord Shang Jun of Yunyuan Pavilion, I came here specifically to see this young lady. I don't know why I'm here."
Gongsun Wenqing was unsure of the purpose of Shang Jun's presence here. So far, they had only had a purely transactional relationship with Yunyuan Pavilion. Why would Shang Jun take the initiative to come to her?
Shang Jun chuckled lightly and said, "It's just because of the orders from above. I thought Miss Gongsun would wait for Mr. Ningqiao to detoxify before leaving. Just now, my subordinates reported that Miss Gongsun was about to set off, so they rushed here. Okay.
Arrived in time.”
Gongsun Wenqing frowned and said softly: "Why did Master Shang Jun come here? Could it be that Master Yunyuan has some advice for me?"
Shang Jun's thin lips curved slightly: "Given Miss Gongsun's temperament, she is so confident that Master Ningqiao is alone in the Lu Kingdom. It seems that the trouble in the Gongsun family is indeed serious."
