Even if the man didn't make any sound or make the slightest move, his back subconsciously tensed up, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Xue Yu lowered her head and looked at the tea on the table, with little tea leaves floating and swirling.
But no movement was heard for a long time.
Like Ling Chi, waiting for the big knife above his head to fall at any time.
Wei Jingchen lifted up the hem of his clothes and sat down with a stern face and a straight back. The guards behind him sat around him in a protective manner.
Although Yun Jian was wondering why the Crown Prince suddenly stopped at the tea shop, could it be just to quench his thirst?
After all, it was only a quarter of an hour away from Dahe Town, and the county magistrate would serve fine wine and delicacies at any time. There was no need for the prince to rest in the tea shop.
The store owner took a careful look at the group of tall people and said, "Guests, what would you like to drink?"
Wei Jingchen lowered his eyelids, his jawline was sharp and tight, he did not speak, and his eyes were on the woman opposite him.
The woman wore a curtain hat and couldn't see anything.
His gaze quickly retracted.
Yun Jian said, "The store owner, just give us a bowl of tea." After saying that, he threw the silver to the store owner.
The shopkeeper nodded quickly and went to pour tea.
Yun Jian frowned and glanced at the tea. It was a little dirty, the tea leaves were scattered and broken, and there was a knock on the edge of the pottery bowl. "Master, I will ask the shop owner to bring a clean bowl..."
Before he finished speaking, a pair of slender porcelain white fingers had already picked up the pottery bowl and took a sip of the tea without changing his expression. It had a slightly astringent taste and a coolness hit his face, and the heat in his body dissipated a lot.
Yun Jian said nothing more.
We sat down by ourselves and drank some tea together.
As soon as she sat down, the prince's cold and magnetic voice sounded without any emotion, "Yun Jian, bring her here."
Yun Jian was stunned for a moment and followed the prince's gaze. It was the woman wearing a curtain hat at the opposite table. He murmured to himself, could it be that His Highness the prince is looking for Mrs. Xue to be possessed?
This figure doesn't look like Mrs. Xue either.
But Yun Jian still walked over, put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, the blade loomed, and said politely, "Girl, my master invites you."
Xue Yu pursed her lips. Did she not notice her yet?
In order not to arouse suspicion, Xue Yu pointed to her throat and waved her hands to indicate that she was mute.
Yun Jian said expressionlessly, "Please."
Xue Yu gritted her teeth, walked lightly, and gave a slight salute. The white gauze lay softly on her waist, vaguely outlining some graceful lines.
Wei Jingchen suddenly thought of Xue Yu's slightly slumped jade back on the bed. Under his control, it formed an astonishing arc, and the snow-white neck had to be raised upwards.
His eyes suddenly sank, and the man's hands on his thighs were clenched into fists, and veins were looming.
"Take off your hat."
Wei Jingchen's order could not be ignored, and his gaze enveloped the woman in front of him like a dragnet, overwhelming her with overwhelming pressure.
Xue Yu trembled slightly, as if she was afraid, but she slowly took it off. Her exposed skin turned dark and yellow. Although she did not raise her face, she could see large and small red spots on her face. , shocking and terrifying.
Yun Jian's brows furrowed even more tightly, "Master, you are not Mrs. Xue."
At this moment, a low and anxious voice came, "Madam, didn't I ask you to sit at the tea stall and wait for me? What happened?"
When Xue Yu heard Meng Liang's name, she quickly understood that he was trying to excuse her, pretending to be afraid and hiding behind Meng Liang.
Meng Liang comforted her with a few words, and then said to the person in front of him, "I'm sorry, my wife is timid. If she did anything to offend the young masters, I apologize on her behalf."
Yun Jian glanced at the prince and saw that his expression was as cold as ever, his eyes seemed calm, but the aura around him became colder and colder.
When Meng Liang saw that they were silent, he found an excuse and left.
After getting on the carriage.
Seeing that the prince's people remained silent, Xue Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Meng Liang, fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise I might have been discovered."
Seeing Bao'er who was sleeping soundly and with a flushed face, Xue Yu touched his face and asked, "Doctor, how is Bao'er doing?"
"The doctor has prescribed medicine. You will be well after taking the medicine for three or four days." Meng Liang saw the red dots on her face and suddenly understood the function of the herbs Xue Yu picked on the road.
It turned out to be to hide his face. If not, they must have noticed it just now.
"When I was at the tea stall, I saw that the prince and others had just left from the direction of Xiaohe Village. They must have been searched. Otherwise, we should go back to Xiaohe Village first, just in time to make some medicine for Bao'er." Xue Yu said.
Meng Liang nodded slowly.
Thinking about it, eldest brother and the others should be arriving soon.
Yun Jian saw the carriage gradually leaving and disappearing from sight, and saw that the prince's eyes were always staring at the carriage, seeming to be quite concerned and hesitating for a long time.
“Master, why don’t I send someone to chase them back immediately?
The corners of Wei Jingchen's lips were slightly raised, but he was not smiling. He looked violent and cold, suppressing the overwhelming anger, and said word by word, "Yunjian, we will go to Xiaohe Village to search again tonight."
"Yes." Although Yun Jian was confused and had searched Xiaohe Village not long ago and found nothing, he still accepted the order.
When we arrived at Xiaohe Village, it was already dark.
Although the weather today was not good and the clouds were thick, fortunately it did not rain along the way.
As soon as they arrived at the yard, Xue Yu hurriedly cooked the soup for Bao'er. Xiaotuanzi smelled the pungent and bitter taste and was reluctant to drink it. Xue Yu coaxed him a few times before he was willing to drink some.
Afterwards, he boiled a bowl of honey water, and Xiaotuanzi finished the soup. He gradually felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep soon.
The night was dark, the wind was blowing violently, and the big raindrops pattered on the window lattice.
Xue Yu glanced at the sky outside. It was so dark that she couldn't see anything clearly. She felt inexplicably uneasy.
It wasn't until Bao'er's forehead stopped feeling so hot and his face looked better that Xue Yu fell asleep exhausted.
In a dream.
She dreamed of Wei Jingchen again. The man's face became more and more handsome and sharp, and his eyes were full of lust. His big palm grabbed her slender ankle and dragged her over.
It bit her throat like a beast, forcing her to let out a pitiful whimper.
Xue Yu was suddenly awakened. She touched the side of her neck and felt a faint pain, as if there was still stickiness and moisture.
Suddenly, she felt a greedy and blazing gaze falling on her, wrapping around her like a shadow, and a chill subconsciously ran down her spine.
Xue Yu's body tensed up, her eyes wandering around, and she vaguely saw a tall figure leaning against the window lattice.
His face was almost hidden in darkness, and the cold and sharp aura around him pressed over him menacingly.
"Are you awake?" A cold, low voice sounded in the room.
