Chapter 649 Half-Persuasion, Half-Force
ust right, this morning, Miss Minrou said she had a bit of discomfort in her stomach. Thus, Mother Empress instructed the imperial physician to prescribe some herbs for her to take. Perhaps we could a...“If he’s not giving up, then let him! What is it Are you lacking confidence in yourself or in me” Xiao Yuge took his hand proactively, interlocking their fingers tightly: “Look, my hands will only belong to one man in my life— Qian Tingxuan!” This line was also improvised.
"My hand is only for you!"
"Let's go, it's so cheesy, I even got goosebumps. My senior brothers will definitely tease me later!"
They're like that themselves, yet they dare to laugh at us"
"People's faces aren't as thick as yours..."
Two days later.
Finally, the matter of Ruoshui City has been resolved. When the people heard that His Highness the Crown Prince and his entourage were returning to the capital, they spontaneously gathered at the city gate to see them off personally. Especially the people in the west of the city, Xiao Yuge and He Ming controlled the plague there, giving them hope again. Those who were slightly better had knelt down one after another, thanking the court for sending troops and divine doctors to save the villagers and the entire Ruoshui City.
Recalling the past scenes and the events that have unfolded over the past ten days, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion. After this ordeal, Ruoshui City was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, everything waiting to revive. I believe that those abandoned farmlands will surely be transformed by next year at this time.
Qian Si Chen Nong brought two carriages, saying they were for the women. However, Xiao Yu Ge and Yin Yue Princess didn't want to sit in them. One liked the feeling of galloping on horseback, the other liked wandering the rivers and lakes as a female hero. They wouldn't be confined in a small carriage.
"Little Song, go!" Qian Tingxuan naturally understood Xiao Yuge's meaning. He held her gently and spun around before she was on the horse's back, while He Ming on the other side almost performed the same operation.
Four people looked at each other and smiled, then galloped away on their horses!
Qian Si stood there, gazing at their departing figures, a mixture of envy and jealousy in his eyes. He yearned to be as free as they were, galloping without restraint, but he was the Crown Prince, burdened with responsibilities that prevented him from such carefree abandon. All he wanted was to be the one riding alongside Ge'er, enjoying the freedom of horseback together at this very moment.
"Qianting Xuan, I love the feeling of galloping on horseback with you!" Xiao Yuge opened her arms and shouted happily.
"Then I'll ride with you for a lifetime." Qian Tingxuan smiled at her. Although she had never said she loved him, her unintentional words were enough to prove that he was in her heart.
He was very pleased, although at first it was half coaxing and half forcing him, now she really accepted him, wasn't she
"We've already left them far behind, let's slow down a bit." Xiao Yuge thought about the poison on his body. Although he had been fine these days, riding like this at full speed, he was really afraid that his poison would flare up.
“Alright, there's a stream over there. Let’s give the horses some water and rest for a bit before we continue.” Qian Tingxuan said as he reined in his horse, slowing it down. He also gestured to He Ming behind him, who understood and slowed down as well.
"Ger, let's go wash our faces over there." After dismounting, Princess Silver Moon seemed particularly excited. This was the first time she had ever felt so free and unrestrained since she was born. She thought this was the kind of life she truly wanted.
Qianting and He Ming watched their retreating figures, both breaking into smiles at the same time.
"Not bad, this development speed is quite fast. I thought you were a clueless gourd, but once you opened up, you're even faster than me." Qiantingxuan couldn't help teasing.
A faint blush crept onto He Ming's fair face, and he scratched his head sheepishly. "It's all because of you two and your little sister," he said. "If you just showed a little less affection in front of me, I wouldn't have figured things out so quickly."
"Since this king and Little Ge are your matchmakers, I say we should consider the wedding of you two as well. In my opinion, our marriage is only a matter of days away. Why don't you two tie the knot together"
Eru chuckled wryly, "I have a harder time than you. I don't even know how to explain her identity..."
"There's nothing much to explain. As Xiaoger said, marriage is your two people's business. You love each other, that's all that matters. Besides, you are a divine doctor; there's no way you can't come up with a solution."
"A Yue said the same thing, but I know, she still has her own country in her heart and is concerned about many things. If those things are not resolved, I estimate that even if she's with me, she wouldn't be at ease." He Ming sighed, a touch of bitterness on his pale face.
“If her affairs can’t be resolved, are you going to give up Let me tell you, Xia Ge'er hates men who aren’t faithful in their relationships. If you ever betray Princess Yin Yue one day, Xia Ge'er will probably be the first to turn against you.”
"Of course not!" He Ming almost answered without thinking: "Since I've decided to be with her, I'll face all the difficulties with her."
"That's like a real man!"
"Ouch!"
Just then, Xiao Yuge and the others suddenly cried out in alarm!
"Little song!"
"A Yue!"
Qian Tingxuan and He Ming almost flew over at the same time, until they saw that both of them were standing safely by the stream before they let out a sigh of relief.
"What happened"
"Suddenly, a lot of dead fish floated down from above." Xiao Yuge and Princess Yin Yue pointed upstream.
Crane carefully fished out a dead fish and, after examining it closely, frowned: "It's poisoned!"
"Deadly poison" Princess Yinyue widened her beautiful eyes in astonishment: "Who would be so wicked as to put deadly poison in the stream What if the downstream villagers drink it, wouldn't they be doomed"
He crane reached out and tested the water with his hand, then brought it to his nose and sniffed it. "It's harmless," he said. "The water here is not poisoned. Upstream is the way we came, where there are no people. This poison was not deliberately put in the stream; it must have been an accident. Perhaps someone was cleaning something and accidentally spilled some of it, which killed the fish in the stream. The poison then flowed downstream."
"Then let's hurry up and get these dead fish out, so that downstream people won't accidentally eat them and get poisoned. That would be a big problem."
After finishing, the four of them got into the water together and quickly fished out all the dead fish floating on the surface. They dug a small pit and buried them to prevent birds or cats from eating them and getting poisoned.
"Looks like we have to go back and take a look." Qian Tingxuan concentrated, as if faintly hearing the sound of weapons clashing. It seemed that Qian Sicheng and the others were in trouble. Could it be that these people carrying poison were targeting Qian Sicheng
Xiao Yu Ge pursed her lips, silently mounting the horse. If it were only Qian Si Chen there, she wouldn't have gone to save him. But there were so many innocent people there, they couldn't just die because of Qian Si Chen's betrayal.
"Just stay here and watch if you don't want to get involved." Qianting knew she didn't want to save Qiansid, but right now, if they didn't go back to rescue him, it would be hard to silence the rumors later. He originally wanted her to just wait here, but he couldn't bear to leave her alone. He still felt safer having her by his side.
"Hmm." Xiao Yuge didn't want him to worry, so she absentmindedly nodded., he hasn't had an attack once, which is beyond my expectation. Little junior sister, maybe we should believe in miracles!” He thought, maybe, little junior sister was the miracle."Senior brother, I...
