Chapter 160 Why panic?
Chapter 160 Why panic?
"No, if I tell you now, you will be even less likely to sleep tonight."
Jiang Li shook her head violently, her almond eyes full of urgency.
"No, I won't be able to sleep if you don't tell me!"
Chu Changxuan laughed, his eyes casually glancing at the cup of scented tea on the table, which she had already drunk most of, and spoke in a firm tone.
"Believe me, the princess will fall asleep."
Jiang Li didn't understand why Chu Changxun had to keep her hanging. In her heart, nothing was more important than the poison in Li Jinyuan's body.
"Chu Changxun..."
"princess."
The man interrupted her before she could finish her words. His gentle eyes changed their usual color and showed a firmness that Jiang Li had never seen before.
"Tomorrow is still a long way to go, so you must be prepared with plenty of energy."
"What……"
Jiang Li looked hesitant and somewhat confused about what Chu Changxun said.
What does it mean to have a long way to go? Where is she going...?
"Don't think about it yet, you'll know tomorrow."
Seeing that Chu Changxun really didn't want to say it, Jiang Li had no choice but to give up. After all, she now had hope.
……
After Chu Changxun left the tent, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he made sure that all the candles in the tent were completely extinguished before he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Jiang Li, who was in the tent, could only tiptoe to the bed after extinguishing the candle.
Her eyesight was not very good at night, so when going to bed, Jiang Li was afraid of touching Li Jinyuan's wound.
She didn't want to sleep alone, she wanted to be closer to Li Jinyuan...
The girl had no choice but to light the candle on the bedside again. The faint flame was just enough to illuminate the figure on the bed.
Jiang Li took off her coat and carefully lay down beside Li Jinyuan.
Because she was afraid of pressing on the wound on his left shoulder, she slept on his right side.
Her fair little face was now even more exhausted and bloodless. She closed her eyes, and her soft cheeks rested against the man's shoulders, forming a round arc.
"Li Jinyuan, I'm so scared..."
Jiang Li couldn't help crying, but her eyes were wet.
This time she was really scared. Without the strategic planning she had the last time she was murdered in the Imperial Garden, she was now like a headless fly and had no idea where to start.
She didn't want him to die. She had finally fallen in love with him, and she hadn't even told him how much she loved him...
"Li Jinyuan, don't die... wuwuwu."
Jiang Li was crying sadly on the man's shoulder, not noticing that Li Jinyuan's fingers pressed against his legs moved again...
Pear...
Why is she crying again... He won't die, he will love and protect Lili for the rest of his life...
Li Jinyuan could feel everything in the outside world, but his consciousness seemed to be trapped in an enclosed space. He could not control his body at all, nor could he wipe away the tears for his beloved girl.
……
The next morning,
Jiang Li got up early in the morning. To be more precise, she didn't sleep the whole night.
She would always be awakened by nightmares while half asleep, and then immediately go to check the injuries of the man next to her.
After doing this a few times, she no longer felt sleepy.
"princess?"
Yan Yu was very surprised to see Jiang Li here so early, but after seeing the dark circles under her eyes, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Did the princess not sleep all night...?
How could this be possible? The prince hadn't even woken up yet and the princess had already fallen down.
"Have you seen Prince Chu?"
Jiang Li's voice sounded a little colder, without her usual heartless smile.
"I just saw the prince feeding the horses in the stables. He seemed to be about to go out."
Jiang Limei's heart skipped a beat, and then she hurried to the stables. She was afraid that Chu Changxun would suddenly change his mind. What would she do if he didn't take her with him?
"Chu Changxun!..."
From a distance, Jiang Li saw the tall dark blue figure.
The man was feeding the horse nonchalantly, his every move revealing his inherent gentleness.
The girl's voice was not loud, so he did not hear it.
Seeing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but quicken her pace and ran towards him, but she was not careful and accidentally tripped over a half-protruding stone on the ground.
It's winter and I'm wearing warm clothes. Although I won't get hurt if I fall to the ground, the pain is real.
The white little hand stretched out to resist, ready to be broken and bleed.
"Well!"
Her slender waist was suddenly blocked in mid-air. Jiang Li's pupils dilated, and the next second she fell into an embrace filled with the fragrance of agarwood.
"Why are you panicking?"
Li Junlin looked at the girl in his arms with displeasure, his eyes filled with fear.
In fact, not far from Jiang Li, there should be a small protruding stone, which was now covered with frost. He didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if the girl fell on it.
"Let me go."
Jiang Li frowned the moment she heard Li Junlin's voice, but he had helped her, so she couldn't be tough in her tone and felt a little awkward.
Li Junlin let her go obediently. He did not forget that the girl was like a firecracker that could explode at any moment, especially since she disliked him, so he did not dare to get close to her.
"Where are you going? You're so flustered..."
Li Junlin stared at her without blinking, with an imperceptible worry on his cold face.
"Don't worry about it."
After she finished speaking, Jiang Li walked towards Chu Changxun. She didn't want Li Junlin to know about this.
It's still unclear whether Li Jinyuan's poison is related to him. If so, she's afraid he'll do everything he can to stop her and Chu Changxun...
Jiang Li took two steps forward, and when she looked back and saw that Li Junlin had not caught up with her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
……
"Princess? Why is your face so red..."
Chu Changxun put down the hay for feeding the horses and walked towards the girl without delay.
Jiang Li shook her head, probably because she had just run. The cold wind cut her face like a knife. Her skin was thin to begin with, so it was more likely to turn red.
"Where are we going?"
"When do we leave..."
Jiang Li looked at Chu Changxun, her round almond-shaped eyes full of impatience.
Li Jinyuan couldn't wait any longer.
Before leaving, she gave Qi Yu three Huiyuan Pills, which could only suppress the poison for five days at most.
Chu Changxun looked at her tired eyes and sighed softly.
"After breakfast."
Jiang Li frowned slightly, but when she saw Chu Changxun walking out of the stable first, she swallowed the words that were on her mind.
Forget it, she couldn’t let Chu Changxun go on the road hungry even if she couldn’t eat.
Jiang Li sat at the dining table feeling very uncomfortable until Chu Changxun coaxed her into drinking half a bowl of porridge, and then he relaxed and prepared to leave.
The girl jumped onto the horse nimbly and asked the question she had asked many times.
"where are we going?"
