Bai Xiao pushed Su He away hard and grabbed his hand. He squeezed out a few words through his teeth:
"Don't worry about it!"
Although he could somewhat understand Su He's choice, it did not mean that he could approve of Su He's actions.
Su He could tell that Bai Xiao also took good care of Mu Qier.
Now that he can't protect himself, he can only look for a breakthrough to help Mu Qier from Bai Xiao.
"Bai Xiao, if there is no antidote to suppress the toxin, the young master will only have one year to live!"
Bai Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. One year was okay. Both he and Mu Qier still had time to find the antidote.
He hurriedly chased after him, but he didn't see Mu Qier's figure, and his heart became tight.
Just as he was about to look around, someone hugged him tightly from behind.
"Brother Muren, there are lies all around me, everyone is lying to me, and I only have you. Promise me you will never lie to me, okay?"
Bai Xiao felt the warmth on his back and turned around to hug Mu Qier.
"Okay, I promise you! Let's go back to the palace and make plans."
Mu Qier nodded with tears in her eyes. From now on, wherever Brother Muren is, that is her home.
"Don't be afraid, I will definitely help you find the antidote."
Mu Qier nodded again, she was not afraid of death, she was just afraid that before she died, she could not kill her enemies and avenge her clan members who died unjustly.
She was also afraid that she would never see her brother Muren again after death.
But, what should she do with Su He?
Su He thought he was good to her, but many of the things he did were based on Su He's own ideas. Can she still keep Su He by her side as a partner?
Bai Xiao held Mu Qier's shoulders and walked forward, but saw that she was still looking back at the place where Su He was guarding, so he comforted her:
"Let's go, your shadow guard will be fine. I have already ordered him not to touch him."
Mu Qier did not look back and followed Bai Xiao away. She needed time to think carefully.
Back at the palace, the two of them reached a tacit agreement and did not mention Mu Qier's poisoning, nor did they mention going to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.
Mu Qier thought, Brother Muren is right.
As long as she didn't show up for a day, the people of the China tribe would be safe. On the contrary, it was her reckless return and being unable to save them that really cost them their lives.
It's less than half a month until the New Year's Eve. How many years have they not celebrated the New Year together?
Bai Xiao and Mu Qier both want to put everything aside and spend the New Year together, and they will wait until after the New Year to talk about other matters.
Jun Lingyun also had his own plan. He wanted to delay the destruction of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom until after Chu Yunxi gave birth.
In order to prevent the war from worsening, he needed to go to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom in person.
Chu Yunxi was pregnant with twins. Even if the sky fell, he had to personally guard her and watch her give birth safely.
"Master, my subordinate is back."
Jun Lingyun raised his eyes and asked:
"What do you think? Do you think that shadow guard might be of use to us?"
Su He naturally knows the inside story of the Northern Barbarian royal family better. If he is willing to help, it may save a lot of investigation time.
"Master, Su He is indeed loyal to Mu Qier and thinks of Mu Qier in everything."
Bai Xiao's voice changed.
"However, he is not a qualified subordinate. He will act according to his own ideas. No matter whether this idea will go against the master's wishes. He has known all the truth for a long time, but he has concealed it from Mu Qi'er until now, just for Mu Qi'er.
My son can live safely."
Bai Xiao came to his own conclusion.
"My subordinates feel that he is useless."
Disobedient subordinates? It is indeed a trouble. Sometimes being self-righteous is worse than being mediocre in ability. It is a pity.
Chu Yunxi on the side listened and had a bold idea.
"So Su He, do you like Mu Qier?"
Jun Lingyun and Bai Xiao looked at Chu Yunxi in disbelief at the same time. A shadow guard fell in love with his master?
When Chu Yunxi saw the two of them looking at her like this, her eyes turned slightly. Are she so surprised?
"Think about it, if it's just a master-servant relationship, why doesn't Su He obey orders?"
Chu Yunxi analyzed her thoughts for these two people.
"For the shadow guard, the master's approval is his highest honor. Just like you, Bai Xiao, Wu You, Wu Lu, will you ignore the master's wishes and do something that you think is good for the master?
?”
Bai Xiao shook his head firmly. He would rather accompany his master to death than go against his master's wishes.
"Then why is Mu Qier's shadow guard like this? Because to him, nothing is more important than Mu Qier's life, and nothing is more important than her being in front of him. Because this Su He fell in love with
Mu Qier!"
After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, Jun Lingyun smiled playfully. Unexpectedly, Chu Yunxi, who used to blush even if he looked at her more than once, could now analyze other people's feelings in a clear and logical manner.
When a man cannot love you, nothing is more important than keeping the woman he loves by his side.
Just like in his previous life, he once frantically wanted to keep Chu Yunxi by his side, and he did not hesitate to lock her in the East Palace for several days.
But in the end, he couldn't resist Xi'er threatening his life. He was willing to give up everything, as long as Xi'er lived well.
Bai Xiao was stunned on the spot. He actually had a love rival?
That love rival stayed with Mu Qier for several years. During his absence, Su He was always present in Mu Qier's life.
Does Mu Qier have any dependence on Su He?
Bai Xiao shook his head to stop himself from thinking wildly. Then he heard Chu Yunxi say:
"Mu Qi'er at least has a master-servant relationship with Su He. If we kill Su He, there is no guarantee that we won't break Mu Qi'er's heart. But if we let him go, there will be endless troubles."
Jun Lingyun nodded in agreement, it was difficult to control people's hearts.
"Ling Yun, I want to have a few words with the shadow guard."
Chu Yunxi thought that since Su He had a weakness, she would use this weakness to make him abandon the dark side and join the bright side.
Jun Lingyun looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Persuading people seems to be Xi'er's strong point. She once went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment alone and persuaded Jing Zhaoyin to plead guilty.
"Bai Xiao, go and bring the shadow guard into the palace."
Jun Lingyun was not worried about Chu Yunxi going to a place like a cell with a pregnant belly, nor was he worried about being escorted by others, so he had no choice but to let Bai Xiao make another trip.
"Yes, Master."
Bai Xiao responded somewhat absentmindedly, turned around and left the hall, heading back to where Su He was guarded.
I was still thinking about what Chu Yunxi just said, Su He, likes Mu Qier!
Seeing Bai Xiao leave and come back, Su He wondered if Mu Qier had something to say to him. He stood up expectantly, but heard Bai Xiao say:
"The Emperor and the Queen want to see you, please come with me."
Bai Xiao now doesn't want to say a word to Su He. He is extremely jealous when he meets his love rival.
After a simple explanation, Su He's acupuncture points were tapped, his martial arts was sealed, and he was taken to the palace.
If Su He can be used by his master, it will not be too late for him to give him a good face.
