Xiao Yan picked up his cup of tea and took a sip to hide the excitement on his face.

He could almost imagine his cracked expression when he saw the pictures.

When he thought of this, he pressed down the joy in his heart and said in a serious manner, “Sister, I’m going out of the palace, so why don’t I deliver the picture book to Heng Zhi for you?”

The Grand Empress Dowager did not think too much about it. In her opinion, they had always been close to each other and were of similar age, so it seemed more appropriate for him to deliver it. “But you must deliver the book to Chao’er personally.”

“I’ll take care of it, I still want to hold my great nephew sooner.” Xiao Yan said with a smile.

The Grand Empress Dowager sighed in her heart, hoping that Chao’er’s health was fine, otherwise she didn’t know what to do.

Not long after, Momo Zeng came back.

Xiao Yan hurriedly got up, “Just leave it to me.”

Momo Zeng glanced at the Grand Empress Dowager and saw her nod before she handed the box to Xiao Yan.

After holding the box in his arms, Xiao Yan said, “Sister, then I will leave the palace first.”

“Go ahead.” The Grand Empress Dowager nodded her head, “Remember to ……”

“You can rest assured, I will make this matter, a beautiful one.” Xiao Yan immediately assured.

The Grand Empress Dowager finally let go of her heart.

Xiao Yan held a box of erotic pictures and swaggered out of the palace, then went directly to the Regent’s residence.

When he arrived at the royal residence, he happened to meet Wen Qi Qi.

She had her maidservant with her and seemed to be going out.

“Qi Qi.” He greeted her briskly and brought the box to her, “Look what I have brought for you two?”

Wen Qi Qi looked briefly at him and said with little interest, “I’m going out, so Uncle Xiao should go find Wang Ye, he should be in his study.”

Xiao Yan said, “Aren’t you curious about what I have in this box?”

“It can’t be gold, can it?” Wen Qi Qi said with a smile.

Xiao Yan froze for a moment, then said with a smile, “Then you really guessed it right.”

He said, and lamented, “My sister, the Grand Empress Dowager is really good to Heng Zhi. I’m afraid he doesn’t have enough money in his hand, and just now I was called to her palace and given this box of gold to bring out to Heng Zhi. No, I have to ask Heng Zhi to share some with me.”

Wen Qi Qi looked suspiciously at the box he was holding in his arms.

Honestly, she didn’t quite believe what he said, but was curious about what the Grand Empress Dowager would give Gu Lin Chao. After thinking about it, she coughed lightly and extended her hand towards him, “In that case, I’ll send it over to Wang Ye for Uncle.”

“Aren’t you going out?” Xiao Yan reminded.

“There is no hurry in that matter of mine, I can send it to Wang Ye first before I go out.” Wen Qi Qi said.

Xiao Yan thought of his terrifying nephew and thought that if he handed over this box of lustful pictures to him directly, he might not be able to leave this door today, so he might as well transfer this errand to Wen Qi Qi.

Thinking, he readily handed the box to her.

“I have an urgent matter to attend to, so since you are free, please pass it to him for me.” After saying that, he slipped away neatly.

Wen Qi Qi felt that he ran too fast, as if there was some evil spirit trying to chase him.

However, her attention was soon focused on the box.

What could be inside it?

She shook it and found that it wasn’t heavy at all, and it didn’t look like it had gold in it.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan was a pitiful person.

But since she had already received the box, and she was really curious about what was inside, she took the box and went to the study.

Chapter 286 – Thinking I’ve broken Gu Linzhao’s secret

After court, Xiao Yan followed Gu Lin Chao and was just about to leave the palace, when a little eunuch from Jing Ci Palace ran over.

“Duke Jing Guo, the Grand Empress Dowager has invited you.”

Xiao Yan was a little surprised.

What did that old sister of his want him for?

He couldn’t help but look at Gu Lin Chao. He coughed lightly and asked, “Do you want to go together?”

Gu Lin Chao glanced at him, his tone was very light, “No.”

Xiao Yan was embarrassed. He touched his nose and left together with the eunuch.

Watching him walk away, Gu Lin Chao remembered one thing.

Yesterday, Imperial Physician Lin gave him the antidote for the Bone Scattering Incense, and after that, because Wen Qi Qi came and suddenly left, he forgot to explain to Imperial Physician Lin that he must not tell his mother that he had been hit by the Bone Scattering Incense.

He said to Wang Houde, “Run to the Imperial Hospital and tell Imperial Physician Lin that yesterday’s incident must be kept secret.”

Wang Houde immediately went.

Gu Lin Chao vaguely put his mind at ease, it shouldn’t be too late.

After Xiao Yan arrived at Jing Ci Palace, he met with the Grand Empress Dowager.

“The Grand Empress Dowager is looking for me, is there something urgent?”

“There is no one else here, you don’t need to take it so seriously.” The Grand Empress Dowager said helplessly.

Xiao Yan smiled dryly, but he was more relaxed and took a seat on the chair, “Then Sister can say what you want to say.”

The Grand Empress Dowager deliberated for a moment before saying, “You have always been close to Chao’er, so you should know more about his health condition, right?”

Xiao Yan was stunned. He had always known that his sister was very concerned about his nephew, so when he heard what she asked, he thought she was simply worried about Gu Lin Chao, so he said with a smile, “Don’t worry, my nephew is strong and healthy. He is doing very well, so maybe in a short while, you will be able to have grandchildren again.”

The Grand Empress Dowager sighed, “If that’s the case, it would be great.”

Xiao Yan withdrew his smile and asked, “What is Sister worried about?”

“You are close to Chao’er, have you heard him talk about the abnormalities in his health?” The Grand Empress Dowager didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

“Physical abnormalities?” Xiao Yan looked at her strangely, thought of something and widened his eyes, “Sister, you don’t think that Heng Zhi has a hidden illness in his body, do you?”

“It’s been so long since his big wedding to Qi Qi. If there is no problem, why haven’t the two of them consummated their marriage?” The Grand Empress Dowager was at her wit’s end, and told him directly about the hidden worries in her heart.

Xiao Yan said in surprise: “The two of them have not yet consummated it?”

The Grand Empress Dowager said helplessly, “Otherwise why would I have asked you to come over and think of a solution together?”

Xiao Yan rubbed his chin. He thought he had discovered Gu Lin Chao’s secret, and he was going crazy with joy.

Gu Hengzhi ah Gu Hengzhi, you are really looked down on by your uncle.

If your rivals hear this, won’t they be laughing their heads off?

He spat in his heart, but the face made a contemplative appearance, and analyzed: “My nephew has always been in the border military camp, and never had a woman around. Is it that he has no skills in that area, so when he saw my niece-in-law, he was discouraged?”

The Grand Empress Dowager was impressed, “You are right. If it’s just because of this, then it’s fine.” As long as his root is not broken, it is good.

Xiao Yan listened. He rubbed his hands and said, “Listening to Sister’s words, it seems that you already have some kind of method?”

The Grand Empress Dowager immediately turned her head towards Mama Zeng and instructed, “Aijia remembers that there is a collection of voluptuous pictures in the side hall, you should pick some first and send them to Wang Ye.”

“I will go now.” Mama Zeng hurriedly answered.

Translators Note: Xiao Yan about to start causing trouble again

Edited by EllieKit

The Grand Empress Dowager still did not know that Wang Ye had gone to Juezhou and had been hit by the Bone Scattering Incense.

Thinking about this, he said vaguely, “There is nothing wrong.”

But the Grand Empress Dowager is a person who can see that he has something to hide from her, and immediately her face sank.

“Imperial Physician Lin, you have been with Aijia for a long time, yet you still want to hide something from Aijia?”

Imperial Physician Lin kneeled down with a bitter face, “Wei Chen(this humble minister) did not say, because I do not want you to worry at your age ……”

“What exactly is wrong?” The Grand Empress Dowager asked in a deep voice, her heart anxious.

Imperial Physician Lin could not help it, so he had to tell the truth, “Wang Ye was hit by Bone Scattering Incense, and asked me to prepare an antidote yesterday.”

Hearing the three words “Bone Scattering Incense”, the Grand Empress Dowager’s pupils shrunk. For a moment, it reminded her of the incident many years ago ……

Why is it Bone Scattering Incense again?

“Who did it?” She slapped the arm of her chair in shock and anger.

Now that Chao’er was already the Regent of the dynasty, who would dare to lay a hand on him?

“It’s, it’s Jue Wang ……” said Imperial Physician Lin, sighing. He naturally knew about the knot in the Grand Empress Dowager’s heart. For many years, she had been blaming herself for not taking care of the Regent back then, thus allowing the Regent to be taken away by assassins and stranded in Juezhou. And later, something like that happened.

Hearing that it was Jue Wang who did it, the Grand Empress Dowager was so angry that her chest rose and fell sharply.

Mama Zeng hurriedly went forward to help her calm down and said anxiously, “Grand Empress Dowager, don’t be angry. Your body is important, so don’t get angry.”

“Yes, the Grand Empress Dowager must take care of your own health.” Imperial Physician Lin also advised anxiously.

It took a long time for the Grand Empress Dowager’s anger to calm down.

“That evil bastard, Chao’er has already given him a wide rein, but he doesn’t even think about repaying him. He even dared to assassinate Chao’er, he really deserves to die!”

Imperial Physician Lin and Mama Zeng both dropped their heads as they heard the words.

“Is Wang Ye’s health all right now?” The Grand Empress Dowager asked.

‘Wang Ye has taken the antidote, and he is fine now.” Imperial Physician Lin secretly sighed with relief and hurriedly replied. He was really afraid that if the Grand Empress Dowager was angry, then he would be blamed for her death.

The Grand Empress Dowager was about to put her heart down when she thought of something and suddenly stared at him, “Why does he need the antidote?”

Imperial Physician Lin felt cold sweat coming out. This question was one that he had wondered about yesterday.

But now it seems that Wang Ye clearly did not consummate the marriage with Wang Fei. The Grand Empress Dowager was so anxious about Wang Ye. She had long been expecting him to have an heir, but by now, Wang Ye and Wang Fei have not consummated the marriage ……

“This …… minister also does not know.” Imperial Physician Lin hung his head.

But what he could even think of, the Empress Dowager could know with a little thought.

Her gaze dimmed.

Could it be that Chao’er has not yet consummated his marriage with Qi Qi by now? But last time that Yuan Pa ……

She sighed, she was also muddled, and the Yuan Pa could also be faked.

But she didn’t think that with Chao’er’s honest nature, he would deceive her by faking it.

When she thought of this, she was anxious and angry.

Chao’er was not young anymore, and he has been married to Qi Qi for more than half a year. How could he not touch Qi Qi?

Or was there something wrong with his health?

Thinking about his years of fighting in the north and south, he had always been impervious to swords on the battlefield. Could he have been wounded in a secret place?

Otherwise, it was difficult to explain why he could leave such a beautiful girl like Qi Qi untouched.

If that was the case ……

The Grand Empress Dowager’s face became grave.

Translators Note: Uh oh, seems they’ve been caught

Wang Houde didn’t expect her to ask about it and froze for a moment.

“Eunuch Wang?” Wen Qi Qi looked at him in confusion.

Wang Houde stammered, “In fact, in fact, Wang Ye was once hit by the Bone Scattering Incense when he was a child ……”

After hearing this, Wen Qi Qi was shocked, “As a child?”

Wang Houde nodded and sighed, but did not say more.

Wen Qi Qi saw that he did not want to talk about it, and did not press for anything more, but her heart surged with a faint heartache.

The Bone Scattering Incense is not an ordinary tiger and wolf medicine. Ordinary people are not able to withstand it, let alone a child.

Gu Lin Chao was such a strong-minded person, but even he had to rely on self-inflicted injuries to ease the drug. She dared not imagine, how he was able to overcome it as a child.

What kind of wolf-hearted and heartless person would use such medicine on a child?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Wang Houde was relieved to see that she didn’t ask any more questions.

But when he thought of the suffering his master had gone through as a child, his heart became a little heavy again.

When he arrived at the West Garden, Wang Houde was about to leave, but Wen Qi Qi suddenly called him back.

“By the way Eunuch Wang, Wang Ye has an injury on his arm and cannot get it wet. You must pay attention when you serve him in the bath later. Also, remember to tell him to eat the congee …… and also, tell him not to deal with government affairs tonight and to go to bed early.”

Wang Houde listened respectfully. When he heard the words, he asked, “Is there anything else you want to explain to your servant?”

Wen Qi Qi thought about it and shook her head, “No.”

“Good, then this servant will go back first.”

“Go on.”

Thinking about Gu Lin Chao’s childhood, Wen Qi Qi stood outside the door for a moment before entering the room.

When he returned from the West Garden, Wang Houde saw at a glance that the porridge on the table was still untouched, and Gu Li Chao was actually sitting at the table reading official documents.

Wang Houde hurriedly went forward, brought the congee to Gu Lin Chao, and advised, “Master, Wang Fei has just explained to this servant that you should eat the congee.”

Gu Lin Chao paused, as if he hadn’t noticed, and asked, “What else did she say?”

Wang Houde then relayed Wen Qi Qi’s instructions, word for word.

Gu Linzhao didn’t say anything else when he heard that, but his face eased a lot, and he picked up the bowl of porridge.

When Wang Houde saw this, he was relieved.

As expected, the words of Wang Fei are more effective.

In the evening, Gu Lin Chao cleaned up properly and lay down on the bed to rest.

However, this bed, which he had slept in for many years, suddenly made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He always felt that something was missing, something was wrong, and the girl’s lush and beautiful face flashed uncontrollably in his mind ……

That evening, Gu Lin Chao had insomnia again.

……

The next day, the imperial palace.

As usual, Imperial Physician Lin went to the Grand Empress Dowager to take her pulse.

After he finished taking her pulse, the Grand Empress Dowager suddenly remembered something. Chao’er and Qi Qi had been living together for quite some time, how come there was no movement yet?

She said, “I’m not sure about the Regent’s health, so I’d like to ask Imperial Physician Lin to take a trip to the regent’s residence and check the Wang Fei’s pulse. If she’s too weak, we need to find a way to condition her body.”

Imperial Physician Lin said: “Yesterday, I also went to the royal residence. I observed that Wang Fei’s physique is good, and there should be no major problems with her body.”

The Grand Empress Dowager heard this and was puzzled, “Why did Imperial Physician Lin go to the royal residence for no reason? Is there something wrong with Wang Ye and Wang Fei?”

Imperial Physician Lin smiled and instantly regretted his quick tongue.

At this time, Wang Houde came forward and took the food box, “Wang Fei, let this servant do it. You can sit with Wang Ye.”

“Then I’ll trouble Eunuch Wang.” Wen Qi Qi obediently let go of her hand, then walked to Gu Lin Chao’s side. She just wanted to just plop down on her butt, but thinking that now that she was back in the royal residence, Gu Lin Chao might say something about her, she had to slow down her movements and sit down in a civilized manner.

When Gu Lin Chao saw her like this, the corners of his eyes twitched. He was very uncomfortable, and after a moment of silence, he said in a warm voice: “How you were in Juezhou is still how you can be when you return to the royal residence. You do not have to be so formal.” He had already seen what she looked like, so she didn’t have to pretend so hard.

Wen Qi Qi looked at him in astonishment, “Is this true, Wang Ye?”

“Mm.” Gu Lin Chao nodded his head.

Almost as soon as his words fell, Wen Qi Qi moved a little more casually.

“By the way, how is the Bone Dispersing Incense on your body, is it okay?” She asked with concern. She remembered what the old man from the medical hall had said, that if the Bone Scattering Incense was not eventually removed, it would be harmful to Gu Lin Chao’s body.

She was still counting on Gu Lin Chao to protect her and the Wen family. Would he be okay?

Thinking, she bit her lip, summoned up great courage and said: “Wang Ye, I think, tonight, er ……”

The three words “I could stay” had not yet been uttered, when Imperial Physician Lin came in from outside with a medicine bowl.

“Wang Ye, the antidote for the Bone Scattering Incense has been prepared. You should take it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be damaging to your body.”

Wen Qi Qi’s eyes widened as she looked at the medicine bowl in Imperial Physician Lin’s hand, “It’s the antidote for the Bone Scattering Incense?”

Imperial Physician Lin had already brought the medicine bowl in front of Gu Lin Chao, and hearing her question, he hurriedly said, “Wang Fei, that’s right.”

Wen Qi Qi looked at Gu Lin Chao in surprise, “So there is an antidote for the Bone Dispersing Incense, Your Highness knew about it long ago?”

“Yes.” Gu Lin Chao nodded his head and asked, “What did you want to say just now?”

Wen Qi Qi touched the corner of her temples to hide her embarrassment, “No, I didn’t want to say anything. Wang Ye, please drink the antidote while it’s hot.”

Gu Lin Chao looked at her and saw that she really had nothing else to say, so he reached out and took the bowl of medicine brought by Imperial Physician Lin and drank the medicine.

Wen Qi Qi was secretly relieved. Fortunately, she did not say the sentence about staying the night just now, otherwise her face would have been thrown to her grandma’s house.

Because she was too fainthearted, she couldn’t sit still and got up and said: “Since Wang Ye is fine, I will go back first. Wang Ye remember to drink the porridge and rest early.”

Gu Lin Chao saw that she was leaving so soon, and a faint loss welled up in his heart.

“Wang Houde, send Wang Fei back.” He ordered in a light voice.

“Yes.” Wang Houde hurriedly sent Wen Qi Qi out.

Imperial Physician Lin looked at Gu Lin Chao, “Since Wang Ye is all right, I will leave now.”

“Good, thank you, Imperial Physician Lin.” Gu Lin Chao was still thinking about Wen Qi Qi’s matter, so he answered somewhat absent-mindedly.

When she left the West Garden, Wen Qi Qi exhaled. She hadn’t expected that Imperial Physician Lin would have the antidote for the Bone Dispersing Incense. She was once again glad that she hadn’t said those words just now, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing.

Thinking of something, she turned her head to look at Wang Houde, “Eunuch Wang, why would Imperial Physician Lin have the antidote for Bone Scattering Incense?” She always felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

From the words of the old man in the medical hall, this kind of stimulant medicine is not common, so he didn’t know how to cure it. However, Imperial Physician Lin has a ready-made antidote prescription in his hand, which was too strange.

When the servants brought up the mutton, Wen Qi Qi didn’t forget to instruct them to boil some lean meat porridge for Gu Lin Chao.

West Garden.

Gu Lin Chao had asked Si Yi to invite Imperial Physician Lin to come over.

Imperial Physician Lin had just finished treating him when his face changed dramatically.

“How did Wang Ye get hit by the Bone Dispersing Incense again for no reason?”

Gu Lin Chao put down his sleeve and was silent.

Imperial Physician Lin knew his nature and knew that he was reluctant to talk about it, so he did not ask any more questions, and said, “Do you want me to prepare an antidote for you?”

In his opinion, Gu Lin Chao is now married and was in the Royal Residence. It doesn’t matter if he was infected with the Bone Scattering Incense, as long as he slept with Wang Fei for one night, the Bone Scattering Incense will naturally be resolved.

Although he asked this question, he was sure that Gu Lin Chao did not need him to prepare the antidote.

However, this idea just popped up in his head, and the next moment he heard Gu Lin Chao’s voice low and cold “hmm”.

Imperial Physician Lin thought he had misheard and asked again uncertainly, “Wang Ye wants the antidote?”

“Yes.” Gu Lin Chao faintly glanced at him.

Imperial Physician Lin was astonished and hurriedly said, “Then I will go down and prepare the antidote for you.” After saying that, he hurriedly went out.

The corners of Gu Lin Chao’s lips were pursed, and the charming scene in the broken temple a few days ago unexpectedly came to mind.

The girl suddenly and daringly sat up, giving off the feeling of boldness, but when she came up to kiss him, he clearly felt her trembling.

At that moment, her heart was actually afraid of it, and she was not as unconcerned as she herself said ……

On the side of the Wang Houde and Si Yi heard the words of the Imperial Physician Lin, the expression on both their faces was complex.

They didn’t expect the master went to Juezhou this time and was actually hit by the Bone Scattering Incense again.

The room was a little too quiet.

After a long time, Wang Houde couldn’t hold back and asked, “Master, who actually did it?”

Si Yi’s hand on his sword tightened and looked at Gu Lin Chao with the same questioning eyes.

Gu Lin Chao originally did not want to say anything more, but the three of them had experienced too much together, so he did not hide it, “It was Jue Wang.”

Wang Houde was furious, “What does Jue Wang want to do?”

“He is reminding Ben Wang of that incident when he was a child.” Gu Lin Chao faintly said, a layer of cold frost between his eyebrows.

Wang Houde sneered, “Is he still claiming to be Master’s benefactor? That incident, what does it have to do with him? He was only dragged there by Prince Jiande ……”

Gu Lin Chao faintly glanced at him.

Wang Houde hastily shut up, but this did not prevent him from scolding Jue Wang fiercely in his heart.

That old man was shameless ……

At this time, the voice of Wen Qi Qi asking his subordinates came from outside the door.

“Is Wang Ye inside?”

“Yes.”

As soon as Wang Houde heard this, he gloomy face instantly turned to clear. His face showed joy and he was busy twisting his head to look at Gu Lin Chao, “Master, Wang Fei is here.”

Gu Lin Chao glanced at him lightly. How could he not hear? The fingers resting on his lap quietly clenched, and his gaze subconsciously looked towards the door.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Wen Qi Qi appeared at the door.

“Wang Ye, have you asked the Imperial Physician to take a look? By the way, I came over to take a look and brought you some lean meat porridge.” After saying that, and thinking of something, she explained, “I originally wanted to bring you some stewed mutton, but you are injured and should not eat it at this time, so I brought you light lean meat congee instead.”

Gu Lin Chao did not care what to eat, but seeing her explain to him so meticulously, he was secretly a bit pleased.

He closed his eyes, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Wen Qi Qi said with a smile, “No, no, I didn’t work hard at all, these are all things I should do.”

Gu Lin Chao’s eyes were filled with happiness.

Just as Wen Qi Qi got off the carriage, Lu Qiao rushed over impatiently.

“Miss, are you all right? The slave servant was worried sick.”

Wen Qi Qi pointed to her face and said pitifully, “Do I look like I’m fine? I’ve lost weight, and I’m darker.”

Gu Lin Chao, who came down from behind: “……”

In the morning on the carriage, who said she had gained weight and grown flesh?

In just half a day, she has become darker and thinner?

The corners of Gu Lin Chao’s eyes twitched.

“Miss has worked hard.” Although Lu Qiao didn’t see where Wen Qi Qi had lost weight and darkened, she still hurriedly held her up, “This slave servant has asked the cook to give you mutton stew, so you have to make up for it this time.”

“Mmm~” Wen Qi Qi nodded happily.

Gu Lin Chao seemed to have heard the sound of her smacking her lips.

“Wang Ye, I ……” Wen Qi Qi suddenly turned back, then thought of something and fished out several packs of medicine from the bag and stuffed them into Wang Houde’s hand.

“Wang Ye’s left arm is wounded, this is the medicine for external application, this is the medicine for decoction. Since it was inconvenient outside, I have not yet decocted the medicine for Wang Ye, you should have someone decoct it now and give it to Wang Ye.

Also, Wang Ye’s wounds can not get wet these days, when he bathes, you watch out. Also, change the medicine once every two days. Tomorrow it’s time to change the medicine, Eunuch Wang don’t forget.”

Wang Houde was stunned to hear this, but he didn’t dare to be slow. He remembered every word, and then he went into the residence to decoct medicine for Gu Lin Chao.

When Housekeeper Chen saw that Wen Qi Qi was so devoted to Gu Lin Chao, he was very relieved. It was not in vain that Wang Ye personally went to Juezhou to bring her back.

Listening to the girl’s rambling voice, softness appeared on Gu Lin Chao’s face as he instructed Lu Qiao, “Take good care of Wang Fei.”

Lu Qiao nodded her head and answered, “Yes.”

Gu Lin Chao looked at Wen Qi Qi, and after a pause, he said in a warm voice, “Ben Wang will go in first.”

Wen Qi Qi blinked her eyes and bowed towards him, “Okay, I’ll see you off, Wang Ye.”

The corners of Gu Lin Chao’s lips pursed. He was suddenly a little unaccustomed to her respectful appearance.

He frowned, but did not say anything else, and entered the royal residence.

After seeing him go far away, Wen Qi Qi hurriedly took Lu Qiao’s hand and urged, “I’m starving, lets hurry back and eat mutton.”

“Okay.” Lu Qiao smilingly answered.

“Ah, yes, put this black horse in a proper place.” Wen Qi Qi remembered something and ordered a servant to the side.

“Yes.” The servant respectfully answered.

Only then did Wen Qi Qi take Lu Qiao’s hand and walk towards the Shen Xiang Courtyard. Remembering one thing, she asked, “By the way, Lu Qiao, how did you come back?”

Lu Qiao replied, “Miss was caught by Jue Wang that day, so this servant was very worried. The Tunzhou Prince had someone send this servant back.”

“This time, you were frightened.” Wen Qi Qi blamed herself a little.

Lu Qiao said, “The servant girl was fine, but Miss has suffered a lot.”

“I’m actually fine, it’s our Wang Ye who has suffered this time.” Wen Qi Qi said.

Lu Qiao said, “This slave servant heard from Eunuch Wang that after Wang Ye heard that you were caught by Jue Wang and went to Juezhou, he didn’t even care about the martial arts test and went to Juezhou alone to save you. His Majesty is indeed very devoted to you.”

Wen Qi Qi was stunned at his words.

As a husband, he was very competent and responsible. She was not a hard-hearted person, and it was impossible for her heart not to be touched.

Especially these two days together, it allowed her to understand him some more.

Gu Lin Chao …… is really a very good person.

Such a good husband was worthy of her sincere treatment.

When Si Yi finished speaking, he took two steps forward and looked at Gu Lin Chao nervously. When he saw that his left hand seemed to be inconvenient, he looked worried. “Is the master injured?”

Gu Lin Chao was just about to say that he was fine, but Wen Qi Qi was one step ahead and said, “Wang Ye is injured, so the matter of driving the carriage will be left to you.” Saying that, she threw the reins from Gu Lin Chao’s hand to Si Yi, turned to help Gu Lin Chao, and went into the carriage.

Seeing her brutal action, Si Yi was about to say something, but saw his master obediently followed her into the carriage without a word.

Si Yi, who was holding the reins: “……”

Inside the carriage, Wen Qi Qi let go of Gu Lin Chao’s hand, sat down on her butt, stretched her back and said, “I am relieved that Si Yi is here. Wang Ye, make yourself comfortable, I will take a nap.”

Gu Lin Chao was stunned.

So she just had to sit with him in the driver’s seat because she was not at ease with him in her heart?

A warm feeling rose in his heart.

This girl seems to be a foolish and fussy girl, but in fact she is attentive and considerate.

The carriage was moving, but Wen Qi Qi couldn’t sleep well.

The carriage was too basic, and it made her uncomfortable.

She opened her eyes with a frown and saw the man leaning against the carriage wall, not intending to sleep, so she couldn’t help but cheekily say, “Wang Ye, this bench is too hard, can you lend me your thighs as a cushion?”

Gu Lin Chao was thinking about something, and when he heard her words at first, he was stunned and thought he had misheard, “What did you say?”

Wen Qi Qi pointed to his thighs and said with a straight face, “The thighs of Wang Ye are empty, why don’t you lend it to me to pillow my head?”

Gu Lin Chao: “……”

This time, he heard clearly. This girl is trying to use his leg as a pillow, and said so ……

His handsome face burned for a few moments before he nodded his head, “Mm.”

Getting his permission, Wen Qi Qi immediately moved to his side and nonchalantly pillowed her head on his thigh.

However, Gu Lin Chao’s lap was not soft at all, but it was better than nothing, so she found a better sleeping position on her own and closed her eyes peacefully to sleep.

However, Gu Lin Chao who becam her pillow at the moment, felt his body tense up.

This girl ……

Wen Qi Qi’s eyes quickly closed, but because of the bumpy relationship, her head would move around, and in her sleep, she subconsciously reached out and circled Gu Lin Chao’s waist, and moved her head inside.

Because of her actions, Gu Lin Chao’s body suddenly tensed up like iron, and a thin layer of sweat rose on his bare forehead. He felt very tormented and uncomfortable.

The Bone Scattering Incense that he suppressed had shown signs of awakening again.

Gu Lin Chao’s eyes became dark and deep. He could only use his internal energy to suppress the restlessness in his body.

However, this time with the escort of Si Yi and others, nothing more happened on the way, and in the evening, the group returned to the capital without any problems.

Wen Qi Qi eyes were closed and when she woke up, she got up from Gu Lin Chao’s lap, but she found that his face was a bit abnormally flushed. She couldn’t help but say with some concern, “Is Wang Ye uncomfortable?”

Gu Lin Chao glanced at her and shook his head, “No.”

Wen Qi Qi was not convinced, but if he was not willing to say, there was nothing she could do. Still, she said, “When we return to the house later, Wang Ye should ask someone to send the Imperial Physician to take a look.”

“Okay.” Gu Lin Chao replied in a warm voice.

The carriage had just stopped in front of the royal residence, but Housekeeper Chen, Wang Houde, Lu Qiao and others were already waiting.

“Wang Ye, Wang Fei.”

Looking at the two people coming out of the carriage, the people immediately saluted.

The carriage soon moved forward and left the town.

Wen Qi Qi sat beside Gu Lin Chao, looking at the scenery along the way, while grabbing peaches to eat.

The lady really did not lie, the peaches were not only hydrating but also fresh and sweet.

Wen Qi Qi finished eating one and ate another.

But she didn’t forget to feed it to Gu Lin Chao.

After eating another peach, she picked a large, plump peach and held it up to Gu Lin Chao’s mouth, “This peach is sweet, Wang Ye should eat it too.”

Gu Lin Chao’s handsome face was hot and he turned his head, “I don’t want to eat, you can just eat it yourself.”

“I’ve already eaten two.” Wen Qi Qi held two out two fingers and brought the peach closer to his mouth, “Wang Ye quickly eat.”

Gu Lin Chao pursed his lips, “I’m not eating.”

Wen Qi Qi pouted her mouth, “Is Wang Yeh really not going to eat? This peach is really too delicious, if you don’t eat it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist eating it again.”

Gu Lin Chao said in a warm voice, “Since you like to eat, you should eat more.”

Wen Qi Qi pinched the flesh on her stomach, “But I’ve already been eating.” She said, sighing, “I lost some weight yesterday, but I’m seeing it grow back today.”

The corners of Gu Lin Chao’s mouth twitched suspiciously, this girl was too dramatic.

He looked at her helplessly, “Don’t think too much, you’re not fat at all, it’s good to grow more meat.”

Wen Qi Qi frowned, “So Wang Ye likes me to be more plump?”

Gu Lin Chao stalled, when did he ever say that?

“No matter.”

“Then Wang Ye still likes a thinner one, don’t you?” Wen Qi Qi asked immediately afterwards.

Gu Lin Chao: “……”

He found that no matter how he answered, it seemed a bit inappropriate, so he simply pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Gu Lin Chao was able to handle himself in court and on the battlefield, but he lacked the experience of dealing with women, especially not Wen Qi Qi.

Because this girl’s questions were always endless. She always came up with strange questions that caught him off guard and left him speechless.

The good thing is that Wen Qi Qi did not have to get an answer from him, so if he did not answer, she did not ask again.

She lowered her head and took a bite of the peach, smacking her lips and eating it loudly.

He didn’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but while she was eating, she said exaggeratedly, “The peaches are so delicious.” Saying that, there was another round of smacking sounds.

Gu Lin Chao: “……”

If it was in normal times, Gu Lin Chao would definitely have to reprimand her, but now, there was not even the thought of reprimanding her.

The carriage traveled a little further, and at that time, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came.

When Wen Qi Qi looked, a group of people had already arrived.

Before she knew what was going on, she saw Gu Lin Chao stop the carriage.

“Master.” The first one, a young man in black, had quickly dismounted from his horse and knelt down on one knee in front of the carriage, “I’m late, I’ve made you suffer, master.”

“We’ve let our master suffer.” The other guards in black, also knelt down on one knee on the ground and said aloud.

“Huh, Si Yi?” Only then did Wen Qi Qi look clearly at the man in the lead.

Si Yi glanced at her and did not speak.

“All get up.” Gu Lin Chao spoke with a clear and cold expression.

Si Yi and the others, as instructed, stood up.

“How did you guys find us?” Wen Qi Qi looked at them curiously.

Si Yi ignored her and looked at Gu Lin Chao, reporting, “When this subordinate arrived at Juezhou City, Master had already left. After that, we searched along the way, but because it rained yesterday, the traces were washed away, so it took some effort for us to find this place.”

Gu Lin Chao paused and saw that she was holding a peach in her hand, so she couldn’t free her hand, so he placed the candied gourd to her mouth.

Wen Qi Qi took a bite and bit off half of the sugar gourd.

Her mouth was small and the sugar gourd immediately puffed up her cheeks.

This reminded Gu Lin Chao of a squirrel nibbling on a pine nut.

It’s really …… cute as hell.

The black eyes of Gu Lin Chao rippled.

Wen Qi Qi didn’t know that her eating face made a certain Wang Ye think of a squirrel, she was eating happily.

The red sugar, staining her already lush lips, had a kind of vivid feeling.

Gu Lin Chao paused and moved his eyes away.

After that, Wen Qi Qi bought some dry food for the road and went back to the inn with Gu Lin Chao.

The two of them didn’t stay long. They packed their clothes and medicine bags and planned to return to the capital.

But Wen Qi Qi didn’t know how to drive a carriage, and Gu Lin Chao’s left arm was injured, so she had some difficulties.

“Why don’t we hire a carriage driver?” she suggested.

“No, I can drive.” Gu Lin Chao said.

“But your hand is injured.” Wen Qi Qi said hesitantly.

“It doesn’t matter, I can use my right hand.” Gu Lin Chao said with no concern.

When Wen Qi Qi heard that, she immediately looked at him adoringly, “Wang Ye is so powerful that you can drive a carriage with one hand.”

Gu Lin Chao wanted to say that it was nothing, but when he saw the unreserved adoration in the girl’s eyes, an inexplicable pleasure came over him.

He smiled, took the bag from her hand, and took the lead to leave the inn.

Wen Qi Qi followed him happily.

When they left the inn, they looked at the black horse that had carried them from Juezhou and followed them here, and Wen Qi Qi was a bit reluctant to leave.

“Your Majesty, can we take it with us?”

Gu Lin Chao paused, ” Okay.”

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Wen Qi Qi froze and asked, “How should we bring it?”

Gu Lin Chao did not say anything, but looked at a man, “Please help.”

“Yes.” The man was a bit flattered.

This gentleman is good-looking, not to mention his temperament is even more reserved. After coming to the inn, he almost never spoke to him. Now he suddenly asked him for help, and while he was surprised, he felt very flattered.

With the help of the man, Gu Lin Chao quickly replaced the horse pulling the carriage with this black horse.

Wen Qi Qi suddenly understood. She joyfully stroked the mane of the black horse, then moved to its ear and whispered, “You can follow Sister from now on, Sister will take you to eat and drink.”

As if in response to her, the black horse gave a snort.

She was whispering with the black horse, but unbeknownst to her, every word of it was heard by Gu Lin Chao.

He looked at the girl and smiled, did she really think that the horse could understand her words?

“Sir, then this horse ……” asked the man next to him.

“This horse is for you.” Gu Lin Chao said.

The man gladly replied, “Many thanks to the gentleman and the lady.”

“No thanks, no thanks.” Wen Qi Qi replied for Gu Lin Chao.

Gu Lin Chao looked at her and did not say anything.

Wen Qi Qi got on the carriage by herself, then took the bag from Gu Lin Chao’s hand. She put it into the carriage, and not long after, she turned around and came out and sat down on the driver’s seat.

Gu Lin Chao froze, “Why don’t you sit inside?”

“I want to sit with Wang Ye.” Wen Qi Qi said as a matter of course.

Gu Lin Chao disagreed, but did not advise again.

Through these two days together, he has gotten to know this little princess of his a little better.

She looked delicate, but actually had a lot of ideas. She was not an ordinary boudoir girl, she was smart, but not foolish, had her own opinion, and sometimes she showed bravery that could make many men ashamed of themselves.

She is not the kind of woman who can be bound by the rules and regulations.

However, it’s not bad for her to be like that.

Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth curled up.
