The kind of desire and greed that wants to completely become a part of his flesh and blood, no, to make him a part of her forever and never be separated.
Let her hold him tightly.
She thought that since she died so tragically in her previous life, she would never have such a burning greed.
But this heart was also very fresh. She sighed softly and buried her face in his neck: "Lord Governor, you can really easily arouse the greed of others."
Cang Qiao paused, he understood her words - she became greedy towards him.
It's like he has always been full of greed and desire for her.
She fell in love with him, but this love was much restrained due to her growth and maturity and the many injuries she had suffered.
Now, she is holding him, like a child holding a beloved toy, murmuring in a low voice.
But he was in an inexplicably happy mood, and his heart, which was originally cold because of losing her, seemed to have warmed up.
"It doesn't matter, whatever the little lady wants from me, I will give it to you." Cang Qiao smiled lowly, turned over, picked her up by the waist, and walked towards the way he came.
Ming Lanruo grabbed his lapel, leaned her face against his chest, and asked softly: "How did you find me? Were you the one who knocked on the wall just now?"
In his arms, she felt herself becoming fragile, even though she stabbed a giant python through the head just three days ago.
Cang Qiao said as he walked: "When we came down, we had already obtained the layout of the underground palace from Magistrate Tang. The troops were divided into separate groups and came to find you separately. We have been looking for you for three days."
"To this day, I hear the sound of metal hitting the wall, but no matter how much we shout, we can't hear anyone's voice, but the sound of metal knocking is still there."
"I was impatient. The others were a little behind in Qinggong, so I followed the sound to identify their location and found them!"
Ming Lanruo heard what he said was simple, but she knew it was not easy. He must have been awake for the past three days.
She couldn't help but said worriedly: "I just threw the rhubarb out, but did it hurt you? Were you bitten by it?"
Cang Qiao paused and said calmly: "No, I just accidentally bounced it up the wall. I wonder if Rhubarb is okay. Have you properly placed it back in the cage?"
Ming Lanruo had no doubt about it: "I just took it in."
Cang Qiao then breathed a sigh of relief and said gently: "Well, keep an eye on Dahuang and don't let it escape."
The moment he found his little girl just now, before he could say anything, he felt something flying towards him.
He almost struck him with a sword, but when he heard Ming Lanruo's voice, he knew it was probably Dahuang. When his hand moved slowly, Dahuang pounced on his face.
The feeling of having eight legs hugging his face made him feel like he was having a physical examination for the third time in his life. But at that time, he immediately became stiff and he fell down in a hurry!
But how could the young empress know about such a stupid and ridiculous thing that would expose the hidden scholar's identity?
Fortunately, Dahuang is a spider and can't speak human language, otherwise he would have to go to trouble to silence him.
"Are you tired? Just take a nap and I'll take you out." Cang Qiao said softly.
Rhubarb in the cage felt cold for no apparent reason, trembled, and the hair that had just been inserted on his forehead fell out again.
It picked it up with its paws unhappily and continued to try to insert it into the bristles on its forehead.
My fur has been falling out a lot lately, and I keep getting plucked by witches, so I need to replenish it!
...
Ming Lanruo didn't want to sleep at first, but she didn't know whether it was because his embrace was too warm or his heartbeat was too reassuring.
As she walked, she fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the sky was full of colorful clouds outside the window, and the dusk light was so beautiful.
She was in a trance for a moment, almost unable to believe that she had escaped from the dark underground palace.
"Miss!" Jing He almost cried when he saw her waking up, and rushed over to help her up.
Ming Lanruo looked at Jing He, and her heart suddenly dropped.
Jinghe is safe and sound!
She patted the back of Jing He's hand in a somewhat mute tone: "Are you okay? These days?"
Jing He nodded while sniffing hard: "I don't know what happened to Ling Bo and I that day, but suddenly our eyes blurred and we fell into a cage."
Before they could react at all, the top of the cage closed!
Jing He frowned: "We tried to pry open the cage, but we found that outside the cage was an underground temple dedicated to the Five Immortals, fox white, yellow, willow and gray."
"We tried our best to investigate for three days, but found nothing except a group of imprisoned victims. Then suddenly Chen Ning came over with a map.",
When Chen Ning was mentioned, Jinghe felt a little uncomfortable and pouted unwillingly: "Then, he rescued us."
Ming Lanruo looked at Jing He's expression and wondered, "Do you have any conflict with Chen Ning? He saved you, didn't he?"
Jing He snorted coldly: "I want to follow them to find you, but Chen Ning, that bastard, doesn't agree. He thinks I've been locked up for three days and I haven't eaten enough to have enough energy, which will hold them back!"
"We almost got into a fight, but he actually used despicable means to tie me up and throw me to someone else, and then he took me to the underground palace!"
Ming Lanruo listened thoughtfully to Jing He's words: "Chen Ning thinks you are too tired, so you might as well rest."
She had pills to take and water to drink, but Jinghe didn't eat or drink for three days.
Jinghe muttered: "He's not that kind!"
"Okay, let the eldest lady drink some water. She just woke up." A somewhat rough woman's hand held a water glass and handed it over.
Ming Lanruo smiled at the middle-aged woman and took the glass of water: "Thank you, Sister Hong."
Seeing Ming Lanruo drinking water, Jing He felt a little guilty. She was so careless. The eldest lady's lips were chapped, and she was still here talking nonsense!
Sister Hong looked at her with a complicated expression: "Miss, what did you find out?"
Ming Lanruo held the cup of water for a moment, then looked at Sister Hong with a faint look, and after a while she slowly said: "It turns out that you red-blooded orphans wandering in the Northeast have actually known about it for a long time."
Sister Hong's face froze, and then she felt guilty and complicated: "Miss..."
The riddle-like conversation between the two made Jing He confused: "Miss, Sister Hong, what are you talking about?"
Ming Lanruo didn't talk to Jing He, but just stared at Sister Hong: "Sister Hong, do you really have nothing to tell me?" This chapter has been completed!
