Since the situation was better than others, Zhao Xiaoxue had no other way out. However, no matter what, she had to make it clear:

"Prince Yue, I have to be clear with you. Before I meet Chu Yufeng, I will remain as the Southern Princess's concubine. You are not allowed to be rude to me!"

Hearing the woman's words, Yue Ze Xiu slightly raised his eyebrows and said:

"Miss Xue, do you mean that when you meet the Southern King, I will be able to …"

"That will happen in the future!"

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't need to listen to what the wretched prince was trying to say to her.

"Alright, This King can promise you that before we reach the Eastern Yue Kingdom, This King will absolutely not do anything bad to you. However, the condition is that you will not think of escaping!"

Although Yue Ze Xiu didn't understand why the woman in front of him had instantly changed her mind, but this matter wasn't considered bad for him. After all, he would have enough time to gather everyone.

"Alright!"

Zhao Xiaoxue readily agreed.

"Wait, and …"

"King Yue, you really have a lot of requirements!"

Zhao Xiaoxue was in a hurry to leave. If Yue Ze Xiu could see that Bu Li was acting weirdly, then there would be no chance for her to escape in the future!

"Miss Xue, you were the one who said you wanted to make things clear. This duke is sincerely talking to you!"

Yue Ze Xiu was suspicious of Miss Xue's anxiety and the cold silence at the side. However, he was a cautious person. If he wasn't completely confident, he would never take the risk.

"What are you trying to say?"

Zhao Xiaoxue asked patiently.

"Firstly, I am not King Yue, but the Ninth Prince of the East Peak Country. Of course, if Miss Xue is willing, you can also call me Ze Xiu!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxue lightly pouted:

"And the second?"

Yue Ze Xiu didn't care too much about a woman's attitude. He merely turned his head and his gaze fell on Bu Li. After looking at him for a while, he said,

"The second reason is that we do not want to travel with this Leng Yi Wang from the West Wu Country. After all, we are considered to be rivals in love!"

After saying this, Yue Ze Xiu gave a noncommittal smile and took a step forward, wanting to test the waters.

"Good!" He won't come with us! "

Zhao Xiaoxue answered almost without thinking.

"Hehe, the relationship between Miss Xue and King Leng Yi is not ordinary at all, to think that she could actually help him make his decision!"

Yue Ze Xiu discovered that this' Coldheart King 'seemed to have become much quieter. At least, it was different from the people he knew, but his spiritual energy was increasing unabashedly. Now that his helper was not here yet, Yue Ze Xiu started to hesitate.

"King Yue, are you going or not? If my big brother catches up, I will change my mind! "

Zhao Xiaoxue looked at Yue Ze Xiu's slow footsteps and felt her heart trembling. How much did Bu Fang recover from this?

"Miss Xue is really anxious! Could it be that you are anxious to become This King's wangfei? "

Yue Ze Xiu knew that there was something fishy about this, but when he thought that General Xue might be able to catch up to him, he finally stopped probing him.

"I don't want to be an imperial concubine. I don't know who just injured me, but it's so painful right now, don't tell me you don't even think of finding someone to treat me? "

Although seeing a doctor was an excuse and, after all, as a doctor, she understood her own illness quite well, after walking just now, her chest really did hurt and even breathing felt uncomfortable.

"Let's go, This King will bring you to find a doctor!"

The woman's expression did not seem to be faking it, Yue Ze Xiu quickly stepped forward, wanting to support her. However, Zhao Xiaoxue would never give her the opportunity to take advantage of her. She did not wait for the other party to get close, she turned around and left by herself, clutching her chest.

"Hehe!" What a stubborn beauty! "

Although his mouth was full of beauties, Yue Ze Xiu couldn't help but look back. That dark green figure was still leaning against the tree. Even after they had left, the other party still didn't say a word.

He clearly saw him protect this Miss Xue in such a manner, yet he actually allowed her to be taken away. Presumably, it was due to helplessness, but since his spirit energy was so strong, the only possibility was that he was injured. It was a pity that he did not know how severe the injury was!

"Hurry up, which way should we go?"

Zhao Xiaoxue did not care what Yue Ze Xiu was thinking. The only thing she could do now was to take this dangerous person away. That way, Bu Fang would be safe.

"Over here!"

Yue Ze Xiu gently pointed to the east side of the road. Zhao Xiaoxue did not say anything else and headed east.

"I didn't expect Miss Xue to be so strong. She can walk so fast even though she's injured!"

Zhao Xiaoxue completely ignored Yue Ze's teasing. Instead of wasting her energy to speak, she might as well use her strength on her feet and quicken her pace. Only when she met a fork in the road would Zhao Xiaoxue open her mouth.

It was unknown if it was on purpose or not, but she felt that the path she walked on was very winding. It took her nearly half a day to reach the main road.

"Your Highness!"

Hearing someone call out, Zhao Xiaoxue looked over and saw a middle-aged man in a grey robe, pulling a brown horse towards them. Behind him was a horse carriage that was quietly stopping there.

"Have they arrived yet?"

Yue Ze Xiu asked urgently when they first met.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate has not seen it!"

Hearing this reply, Yue Ze Xiu's eyes flashed with a trace of undetectable regret.

"My lord, do we need to wait for them?"

"Cough, cough!"

At this critical moment, Zhao Xiaoxue clutched her chest and violently coughed a few times.

"No need, Miss Xue is injured. Let's find a doctor in the town ahead!"

"Yes sir!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhao Xiaoxue relaxed. She was really afraid that they would turn back and hurt Bu Li.

As soon as Zhao Xiaoxue entered the carriage, she discovered that there was actually a big bed inside. Other than the bed, there were no other places to rest in the carriage. On the bed, there was a thin blanket.

In addition, the whole carriage was filled with a strange smell. As a doctor, Zhao Xiaoxue was naturally familiar with medicine. If she guessed correctly, this smell was related to the love between a man and a woman.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but shrink back as she felt someone was about to enter the carriage. Zhao Xiaoxue quickly turned around, covered the curtains at both ends of the carriage, and then loudly said to the outside,

"You're not allowed to enter. You've already agreed to enter!"

Looking at the figure that was covered by the curtain, the corner of Yue Ze Xiu's mouth slightly rose:

"It's not like This King will do anything, but I just want to rest in the carriage for a while!"

"No!" This carriage is mine now! "

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't dare to let him in. This place was too dangerous.

"Your Highness, this … If not, this subordinate will teach this woman a lesson and let her know the consequences of disobeying the king! "

To think that he would be so rude to the prince, the subordinate beside him became infuriated.

"It's fine. I haven't ridden a horse in a long time. It's a good time for me to train!"

Yue Ze Xiu did not let his subordinate make things difficult for him. Instead, he turned around and jumped down from the carriage, and jumped onto the horse.

His Royal Highness rode a horse, and his two subordinates sat on the deck and drove the horse carriage away. They had followed him for a long time, but they had never seen him compromise with a woman before.

As for this carriage, it had always been exclusive to the prince. Yet, he actually gave it to someone else. It was truly inconceivable.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Xiaoxue ignored the thoughts of the others. Sitting on the soft bed, she felt that the smell was really good, but the smell was quite strong. She pulled open the curtains on both sides of the carriage, coincidentally meeting Yue Ze Xiu's gaze.

"Miss Xue, how is it? Is this king's jade bed warm? I presume that it is not worse than the Warm Jade Pavilion of the Southern King Mansion! "

Yue Ze Xiu still had some confidence in the things he had made.

"You've been to the Warm Jade Pavilion?"

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoxue thought of Qing He. Could it be that Qing He was taken away by this fellow?

"Where did you take Qing He?"

Hearing the woman's question, Yue Ze Xiu frowned:

"The girl beside you was not brought away by this king. Although this king originally planned to do so, unfortunately, she helped someone else get married. Who would have thought that there were actually so many experts hidden in the Southern King's Mansion!?"

At the mention of this, Yue Ze Xiu couldn't help but gnash his teeth in anger. Someone actually dared to use him.

"There's an expert in the Southern King's Mansion? Is there? "

Apart from Chu Yufeng, Zhao Xiaoxue had no idea what other experts the Southern King's Mansion had, especially since the place had always been empty. Let alone experts, there wasn't even a single person present.

"Of course there is. Since the Southern King is King Chu's brother, I will naturally send more people to protect him, and I originally thought that since the Southern King has already left, the dark guards will also disappear, but I did not expect that they would all surround you. I brought a total of eight people, but in the end, I was unable to bring you away!" Fortunately, you have to go out. In order to bring you out, This King personally went up on stage and disguised himself as the coachman, which is to say that This King has spent a lot of effort on you! "

"Humph!"

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't want to talk to this wretched prince anymore. Now that the smell in the carriage had dispersed and the carriage had been closed, Zhao Xiaoxue curled up on her bed, pondering her next question. She really hoped that Bu Fang would hurry up and get better.

Zhao Xiaoxue hoped that the pace would be faster, but Bu Fang, who was two miles away, was constantly complaining. He was running through the woods, and it was not because he wanted to, but the force of the running prevented him from stopping. Even if he was already exhausted to the point of not being able to rest, at this rate, his condition would worsen.

Although the woman in the carriage was neither crying nor making noise, Yue Ze Xiu was still very careful. After walking for a while on the official road, he changed his route. After six hours of travelling, they finally arrived at River Town before nightfall.

Big River Town was built by the water, on both sides of the river were two separate towns. Normally, Big River Town would appear very quiet after nightfall, but today was a special day, because during the New Year, Big River Town would organize some events, and during the day's activities, it would let the villagers in Big River Town be enthusiastic, continuing through the night until they were very excited.

"Young master, I've already asked. There is no inn in the left town of the river, only the right town of the river!"

Soli reported what he had learned to his master.

"Then let's go to the town on the right side of the river!"

It was already dark, so he should find a place to stay.

"Foreigners, you can't go in this carriage!"

The fellow villager beside him kindly stepped forward to remind him.

"Why can't the carriage go?"

Suo Li went up to ask for an answer. Because he was too anxious, he surprised his fellow villager.

"Why should I tell you guys if you're so fierce?"

It was a pity that I underestimated the tyranny of this group of people. Without clarifying this matter, how could I let him leave so easily? I stepped forward and grabbed onto my collar, bringing back the scared and soulless me.

"If you don't explain it clearly, you can forget about leaving today!"

Suo Li brought him back and threw him on the ground with disdain. To him, a person without spiritual energy was like an ant.

"Who are you people? Why are you so unreasonable? I was only reminding you guys out of good intentions, but I didn't expect you guys to have such a bad heart! "

The old man couldn't hold back his anger. Naturally, he didn't want to say anything more about being abused like this.

'Bang! '

Just as the old man finished speaking, Suo Li had already slapped him and viciously said:

"If you don't want to suffer, tell me everything you know!"

"Cough, cough …" "You guys …"

As the slap landed, the old man could no longer bear it and coughed out a few times. Blood began to flow out from the corner of his mouth.

"If I don't say it, then I won't …"

This old man was also a stubborn person. The more vicious the other party was, the more he didn't want to compromise.

"I think you're really courting death!"

Suo Li became agitated. He raised his arm and saw that a palm was about to land.

"Stop! How can you hit someone for no reason? "

As the voice rang out, a green figure jumped down from the carriage. Zhao Xiaoxue had long since heard of what had happened outside, it was just that she did not expect that such a simple question would cause such a ruckus. Yue Ze Xiu, who was at the side, was only looking on from the side.

"Miss has misunderstood. It's because this old man doesn't know how to appreciate favors. It's just an answer, but he didn't say it on purpose. So, I'm just giving him a lesson!"

He would not listen to a girl. The reason he had given her so much was all because of his master.

"Stop! I told you to stop! "

When Zhao Xiaoxue saw that the roar was ineffective, she could only run forward and take off the other party's arm.

"You …"

The woman's action made Soli very angry.

"You what you? It's just a question, is there a need to be so fierce? "

As Zhao Xiaoxue spoke, she took out the ice handkerchief that she had prepared earlier and turned around to teach the old man. With a gentle expression, she said,

"My lord, I'm sorry, I've troubled you. It's just that we are going to a town on the right side of the river. What did you mean when you said that the carriage cannot pass through?"

"What else can we do? There's only a suspension bridge connected to the left and right side of the road. This carriage can't be crossed at all!"

The old man did not want to continue the stalemate, and besides, it was not a secret. Apart from the outsiders, everyone in River Town knew about it, but because the town on the right was surrounded by water, if they were to build a sturdy wooden bridge it would be very likely to be blown over.

"So that's how it is!"

Knowing the answer, Zhao Xiaoxue quickly expressed her gratitude.
