"Why?"

"Because you won't."

What Su Nanxing said didn't mean that the old man wouldn't poison him.

Rather, he wouldn't poison it.

The old man subconsciously rubbed the herb in his hand.

His eyes flickered, suddenly he was a little curious, what exactly did Su Nanxing know?

"From what you said, do you know the reason?"

Su Nanxing smiled at the old man and replied carelessly.

"Junior does not know."

Hearing this, the old man lifted his eyelids, grabbed the herbs in his hand and turned to leave.

However, he seemed to have thought of something and finally stopped. Sighing, he said.

"That girl is really very similar to her mother. At first, the old man thought that you were husband and wife, but now, it seems that it wasn't so.

No matter what, the old man wanted to tell you something. If you are unable to truly protect her, then don't marry her. Because as a member of the royal family, she is destined to be untouchable. "

This was because if she became a member of the royal family, she wouldn't have long to live.

Perhaps, her fate would be even worse than Leng Hualan's at that time.

Su Nanxing stopped laughing. Looking at the back of the old man, he opened his mouth and said something, but no sound came out. The light in his eyes was both cold and warm, making it hard to see clearly.

Lin Xuecha and Su Nanxing had yet to plan to return to the Capital City from here, but someone had come from the Capital City to look for them.

That person was dressed in light blue clothes, and his hand was gripping onto the hilt of a long sword.

When someone came out of the house, he went up to greet them and saw a pretty girl peeking out from the house.

The woman's eyes were filled with surprise as she called out to him.

"Qian Wu?"

Qian Wu held onto the sword hilt, he cupped his hands and bowed to Lin Xuecha, "Princess Yuexi."

Lin Xuecha led Qian Wu into the house.

The moment Qian Wu saw Su Nanxing sitting down, he immediately knelt down with one knee and lowered his head, his attitude extremely respectful.

"Mistress, your subordinate has failed in his duty and is actually stupid and ignorant. When it gets dark, we will find out that Mistress has disappeared and lost contact with Mistress. Please punish me, Mistress."

Punishment?

Were these words a bit heavy?

After all, no one knew how many assassins would come out of nowhere.

Lin Xuecha looked at the kneeling Qian Wu, then turned his gaze to Su Nanxing, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Su Nanxing closed his eyes and recuperated.

He did not even look at Qian Wu and his attitude was rather casual, "This matter does not blame you, stand up."

"Master, thank you for your mercy."

Qian Wu stood up.

He glanced at Lin Xuecha, then looked at Su Nanxing, hesitating to say anything, he called out to him.

"Master …"

Su Nanxing's long eyelashes twitched.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Lin Xuecha was standing right beside Qian Wu. His gaze swept across her face and met her gaze.

Lin Xuecha immediately understood.

He wanted her to go out and make it easier for them to talk.

She understood and blessed Su Nanxing's body.

He then walked out of the room and closed the door.

She looked out of the house and saw the old woman talking to someone outside.

It was unknown what the old granny was chatting about with.

There was a smile on his face from time to time, and sometimes a wide grin.

Lin Xuecha's expression changed slightly as he walked out of the bamboo house and sat down next to the old granny.

Upon seeing her, the old granny's dazed eyes immediately narrowed into a slit.

Look, this is Cao Cao Cao, he's here.

Lin Xuecha laughed and asked the old granny, "What is the granny saying about me, quickly tell me."

The grandma said mysteriously, "What's there to talk about between women? We're already old, so what else can we talk about other than men?"

The other old man, who was usually on good terms with the grandma, covered his mouth as he teased her.

"That's right, that's right. Look at that conspicuous red mark on your neck. It must have been left behind by your husband after he doted on you. Aiya, now that I think about it, I really want to embarrass myself to death …"

Lin Xuecha's face instantly flushed red, and he subconsciously covered his neck.

Unexpectedly, the two old ladies in front of him laughed even more happily.

The eyes they looked at Lin Xuecha with, were full of naked ridicule.

No matter how thick-skinned Lin Xuecha was, he would not be able to block it.

She stood up quickly and glared at the old woman.

"I'm ignoring you, Granny."

After finding an excuse for himself, Lin Xuecha ran off in a hurry.

She clutched her neck, gnashed her teeth, and muttered an angry curse.

Damn you, Su Nanxing!

Punishing her shouldn't be done in such a way.

Even if there was no paper, pen, and paper to make her copy the book, she absolutely shouldn't have been bitten!

There was no medicine to dispel the warmth, nor were there any high ranking clothing, such as palace clothing, to cover it up.

If anyone else were to see it, they would have thought that it was a bad idea!

When Qian Wu arrived, it was already dusk.

There was no spare room in the house for him to stay in.

He sat down at the table with his sword in his hands and slept against the wall.

When the sky gradually turned white and the sky slowly brightened, Lin Xuecha and Su Nanxing had already stayed at the bottom of the cliff for an entire four days.

The wound on Su Nanxing's back had already scabbed over.

There was only a little bit of pain left.

When he touched the wound, the wound would easily rupture. After all, the wound was too deep.

And the ankle problem.

I'm afraid I still can't walk.

Lin Xuecha said, "If not, let us stay for one more night before we return to the Capital City."

Although Qian Wu was present, it was not difficult for him to carry Su Nanxing back to the capital.

However, she still wanted to stay for one more night.

Perhaps, it really was this place that was cut off from the rest of the world.

It was probably similar to Tao Yuanming's calligraphy of an otherworldly beauty, causing her to be reluctant to part with it.

Will you...

As long as she left, when she returned, she would not be able to find him anymore?

Su Nanxing looked at her silently.

The old man and the old granny were standing at the side, laughing when they heard Lin Xuecha's words.

"Then let's stay for one more night. It's not a big deal, just a few more people's meals."

The old man echoed her words, "The food my wife cooks is super delicious. In your entire life, no one will ever eat the porridge and noodles my wife cooks again."

The old granny glared at the old man, her eyes filled with unspeakable happiness.

Deep within her eyes, however, was a thick layer of emotion, as well as a faint sense of sadness and relief.

The corner of Su Nanxing's lips curved up a little.

"There will be a day in the future. As long as you are healthy and have a long life, when I bring your wife back in the future, I will definitely get Granny another bowl of porridge to drink."

The old man also smiled, but the meaning of his smile was unclear. "Then us old men will be waiting for you guys to come back to take a look."

It was always sad to leave.

Although Su Nanxing did not say it explicitly, Lin Xuecha could still tell that he would not stay.

He had to leave today.

Although he really wanted to stay for one more night.

But they did delay a few days.

If he did not return to the Capital City now, even more trouble might occur.

Thinking about it, Lin Xuecha then bowed to the old lady and the old man.

She was not a sentimental woman.

But when she thought about the guidance that the grandma had given her in the recent days, as well as her meticulous care and consideration, she could not help but feel sore at the tip of her nose.

Grandma, grandpa, being able to get to know each other is fate. Moreover, grandma and grandpa have saved us before, we will repay them back a hundred times.

I hope that grandpa and grandma will take care of their bodies. "

The old granny sighed and suddenly teased.

"After you go back, live a good life with your husband. Also, your little wife's life will be under your protection, don't …" I'm sorry. "

Lin Xuecha subconsciously glanced at Su Nanxing.

Su Nanxing replied seriously: "Junior will."

Qian Wu's expression was a little strange.

He looked at Lin Xuecha and then looked at his master.

Finally, he lowered his eyes.

The corner of his mouth curled up.

However, things did not go as planned.

Su Nanxing was not helping him to return, nor was it for Qian Wu to buy horses.

They had gone back in a carriage.

The Crown Prince Su Jin got the news from somewhere and found out where Lin Xuecha and Su Nanxing were staying.

Before they could move, they had already hurried over.

The old granny and the old man waved goodbye Lin Xuecha and Su Nanxing.

A large group of soldiers followed behind the crown prince and walked beside the horse carriage that Su Nanxing and Lin Xuecha were sitting on.

Before they entered the carriage, no one knew what Su Nanxing had said to Qian Wu.

After that, Qian Wu disappeared.

They smoothly returned to the Capital City.

As Su Nanxing was injured, he could not be summoned, so the old emperor only summoned Lin Xuecha himself and entered the palace.

Lin Xuecha didn't even have time to bathe as he hastily changed back into his palace attire.

On his neck, was a thick layer of makeup that covered up the imprint Su Nanxing had left behind. He then followed the eunuchs in the palace towards the Hall of Announcements.

This place was actually similar to Imperial Study.

It was just that, without the memorials, there was no more rules for restraining the woman.

The old emperor sat high above.

Lin Xuecha bowed towards him. "Snowy tea greets the Emperor, the Emperor is safe."

The old emperor's face was grave, and he still had the book in his hand.

After lightly sweeping a glance at her, the old emperor said, "The girl has suffered. Stand up."

Lin Xuecha got up upon hearing this.

She lowered her head, looking as if she didn't dare to look directly at Heaven's might.

"The snow tea isn't serious, it's just that His Highness is severely injured."

The old emperor gave a light grunt.

The old emperor gave a light grunt.

"I've already told my beloved daughter, Li Jun, that this matter will be investigated by him and the Crown Prince. To dare to harm my prince, his courage must be pretty good."

Lin Xuecha's eyes flashed, and she suddenly frowned.

What made the old emperor say that the first thing he asked was not how Su Nanxing's injuries were …

But, he had already sent people to investigate, who was the person who injured Su Nanxing?

Then, without waiting for Lin Xuecha to understand, the old emperor's heavy question came smashing down.

"Girl, I once said that you are the one who will decide your marriage. However, you and Lao Jiu lived at the bottom of the cliff together for so many days.

Although there is a reason behind this matter, it is still a loss to your reputation. If you think that the Lao Jiu is not bad, we will pass down an order for you to marry the Lao Jiu, what do you say? "

Betrothal Su Nanxing?!

Lin Xuecha's eyes trembled.
