C26 Secret Message

Xia Chun's expression turned even uglier.

"Fourth brother Xia, no matter what, Yi Shuang is my fiancée. If you want to grow up together, then pretend you didn't see it."

The fourth brother sighed and finally allowed Xia Chun to enter the palace. "Xia Chun, Yi Shuang will definitely enter," he said from the back.

Xia Chun said through gritted teeth, "She must be my, Xia Chun's, wife in the end."

Xia Chun gave the few stalks of herbs that he had finally collected to Xia Yiyi, offering her a treasure: "Yishuang, take a look at what I've gathered, right?"

Xia Yiyi took the medicinal plants and smiled, "Big Brother Xia, thank you."

Xia Chun smiled honestly and said, "For you, I will do anything you say."

Xia Yi Yi Yi was moved.

"Yi Shuang, what are you doing with these herbs?" Xia Chun asked.

Xia Yiyi said mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes."

Xia Chun didn't continue to care about this matter, he only wholeheartedly trusted Xia Yiyi.

Xia Yi Yi was in no hurry to bring the herbs over. She only asked Xia Chun to boil a pot of boiling water for her at nightfall. Although Xia Chun was puzzled, he still followed her orders in the end.

When the last rays of dusk was about to fall, Xia Chun specially cooked a pot of boiling water and Xia Yiyi dripped a few drops of green juice into it.

Xia Chun asked in a low voice, "Yi Shuang, what are you doing?"

Xia Yiyi smiled, "It's just some good juice for their bodies."

He realized that this time, not only did Yi Shuang who came back become stronger, she also became smarter. Sometimes, she knew more than a man like him, but compared to the weak and helpless Yi Shuang from before, Xia Chun was more inclined towards the easygoing Yi Shuang.

This kind of frost was filled with an indescribable attractiveness. With every move she made, people would unconsciously forget her extraordinary appearance. The resolution in her eyes was able to magically calm the frustrated and helpless mind.

After dripping the juice, Xia Yi Yi took the spoon and stirred it. She smiled and said, "Big Brother Xia, why don't you carry it out with me? All the brothers are probably thirsty now, staying here night and day."

Xia Chun would never refuse Xia Yiyi's request, whether it was right or wrong.

"I can do it myself, just follow behind me and save the boiling water from splashing at you." Xia Chun pushed Xia Yi Yi Yi's hand away and said.

Xia Yiyi did not refuse.

She placed the boiling water on the floor and gently said to the people outside, "Big brothers, you have been here for almost two days now. You can't eat even a little. You've all worked very hard, so I've specially prepared some pastries for you. You can eat it with hot water."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect to be treated like this. Not only did Xia Yiyi not show them any respect, she even repaid them with food.

Fourth brother Xia was an honest man. Even though he had been ordered to look after Xia Yiyi, he still didn't want to do it. Now that he saw Xia Yiyi treat them like this, the guilt in his heart rose again.

"Ah, Yi Shuang, we treated you like this, yet you gave us food to eat. My heart …" I don't know how to describe it, but please don't resent us. " Fourth brother Xia said sincerely.

Xia Yiyi scooped a bowl of boiling water for each of them and gently said: "Fourth Brother Xia, don't say it like that, I know this is just your responsibility. Entering the palace is my life, since it's fated to be so, there's nothing to complain about."

Fourth brother Xia took the bowl, and some of the men blushed when they saw Xia Yiyi's fairy-like face as they stammered: "Yishuang, we don't want you to enter the palace either. That place is too far away, we hope you can stay in Xia Family Village forever."

Xia Yiyi only smiled lightly and said gently, "I thank my brothers for their love. I offer water in exchange for wine to my brothers."

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

Those men heroically raised their heads to drink the whole bowl of water. Not caring about the fact that the water was quite hot, every one of them drank it and panted heavily.

Xia Yiyi laughed, "My brothers, you are all so straightforward. I am very grateful. This tea was specially prepared by my sister. My brothers, there is no need to be courteous. Enjoy as much as you want."

These men were all honest men from the countryside. Looking at these pastries, which could only be made in a large restaurant, they asked in disbelief, "Yi Shuang, did you make these?"

"My big brother is here night and day. Have you seen me leave?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Xia Yiyi smiled, "Then it's alright. Brothers, please eat quickly."

Fourth brother Xia and the rest immediately started to gobble down the meat.

The night was as cold as water, but there were more than a dozen muscular men lying outside in different positions. Some were lying on their backs, some were lying on their backs, some were lying on their backs, some were lying on their arms, while some were curled up on their bodies.

A man and a woman walked out from the house. The man looked at the men lying on the ground and said hesitantly, "Yi Shuang, this …"

"They just took a bit of my homemade sweating medicine and it was harmless to their bodies. Big Brother Xia, follow me and carry them in. " Xia Yiyi said indifferently.

A complicated look flashed across Xia Chun's eyes as he sized up Xia Yi Yi Yi. Then, he retracted his gaze and followed Xia Yi Yi Yi's instructions to carry her inside the house.

After they were done, Xia Yiyi came out with two bags in her hands: "Brother Xia, let's go."

Xia Chun raised his head and looked at the land that had given birth to him for more than ten to twenty years. He could not help but feel a sense of sympathy whenever he thought of the possibility that he would never be able to return.

Seeing him like this, Xia Yiyi lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Big Brother Xia, if you don't want to part with this place, then I can leave by myself. After all, this is the place where you are raised.

Xia Chun's bit of sadness was blown away by her words, and he said with a doting smile, "Let's leave quickly, otherwise we'll be discovered when it gets dark."

Xia Yiyi wasn't the type to procrastinate. She nodded and followed Xia Chun carefully out of the village as the sky turned dark.

Along the way, Xia Chun said, "Yi Shuang, in fact, Ninth Prince is already more than 10 miles away from Chong De County." On the way, Xia Chun said, "Yi Shuang, actually, Ninth Prince is more than 10 miles away from Chong De County.

Xia Yiyi furrowed her brows and thought for a moment, then said: "Okay, but I'm not particularly familiar with the terrain here. I'll need Big Brother Xia to lead the way."

Xia Chun just smiled.

After the two of them left the village, Xia Yiyi caught sight of an ordinary horse on the left side of the road, tied to a tree. It didn't look very expensive, and its hair color wasn't particularly pretty either.

Xia Yiyi asked in doubt, "Big Brother Xia, why is there a horse here?"

Xia Chun pulled her hand and said, "Your body is weak. I'm afraid that you won't be able to adapt to the hardships of the long journey, so I secretly took the silver taels to buy a horse in the county. This way, you won't be able to use your feet to travel."

Xia Yi Yi patted the ordinary looking purple horse and said with a smile, "Buddy, you must have worked hard to carry us. When we are safe, we will prepare rich rations for you to eat."

"Let's go." After conversing with the horse for a while, Xia Yiyi said decisively.

With Xia Chun's help, Xia Yi got on the horse. Then, Xia Chun also got on the horse in one go. It was impossible to tell that he grew up in a village.

Chun Chun tried his best to avoid meeting Xia Yiyi by pulling the reins by the waist as he sped forward. He was very skilled at riding horses, so it was impossible to tell that he was a novice at riding horses.

Xia Yi Yi asked casually, "Big Brother Xia, have you ridden a horse before?"

Xia Chun did not hide his intentions and said: "At the age of fifteen, we will find work in a bigger area like the county." Xia Chun did not hide his intentions and said: "At the age of fifteen, we will find work in a bigger area like the county.

Xia Yiyi did not suspect anything, but she believed that Xia Chun was not as simple as he looked. Perhaps he was hiding his true self from this honest looking man.

About ten miles away from Chong De County, on an empty grassland, were the guards that the Ninth Prince, King Jing, had brought with him. In the middle of the night, there was a lantern in the main tent. Outside of the tent, the night watchers wearing purple robes and carrying long swords in golden sheaths were patrolling the area with torches in their hands. The tree branches on both sides of the mountain were gently swaying.

"Report!"

The eunuch next to the Ninth Prince, Li De, lifted the curtain and entered the tent. He saw the Ninth Prince reading a book and quickly kneeled down.

"Your Highness, we have an urgent report from eight hundred li away. The Emperor ordered you to search for beauties from all over the capital, so you must return quickly and not waste any time outside."

After finishing his words, he only heard the sound of books flipping in the tent. Li Dequan's letter was still dangling in his hand, while the Ninth Prince on the bed was only looking down at the book, not looking at him.

Li De Quan was sweating profusely as he carefully said, "Your highness, this is a secret letter that the Emperor specially ordered someone to deliver to you at an urgent rate of 800 miles. Please take a look."

The Ninth Prince, Tuoba Jing, just looked down at the book in his hand, not even giving a look to Li De-quan.

Li De Quan raised his hand to wipe the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and smiled apologetically: "My prince, the night is dark and the lights are dim, it is better for you to read less. Why don't you first read this secret letter."

Tuoba Ye finally could not bear to keep his eyes open and looked at Li De Quan who was lying on the ground, and said lightly: "Didn't you just say that Imperial Brother wanted me to bring all the beauties of the world back to the palace? You said it already, is there still a need for This King to read this secret letter? "

Li De Quan was so frightened that he trembled, heavily kowtowed to the ground, begged for mercy and said, "Prince, you really are a servant. The emperor gave you a secret letter, but this servant didn't dare to peek at it.
