Chapter 424

Her current identity must not fall into the hands of the people of Xijiang; if she threatens the emperor's maternal uncle, there will be endless trouble.

"Go check over there, every corner must not be missed." At this moment, a person's voice was getting closer and closer.

Ning Chengyan's footsteps had also stopped at the side of the wall.

He heard heavy breathing, flashed over, and pulled the person into his embrace; Jiang Yunchu's dagger, just about to be swung, halted as a familiar voice came from her ear: "Young Princess Consort, it's me."

……

Ning Chengyan?

Jiang Yunchu widened her eyes; at this moment, wasn't he in the north?

How could he appear in Xijiang?

She lifted her head and saw that unfamiliar face; she had seen that face before……

Room thirty-six!

Was that earlier gaze also his? All the information she had gathered today, she connected together.

"Don't ask yet." Ning Chengyan's voice was low, because Xi Ge's people had already come to search.

Ning Chengyan put one arm around Jiang Yunchu's waist, then leapt onto a nearby tree; the dense leaves concealed both of their figures.

"There was movement here just now, why is nobody here?" A group of people walked over, and the captain muttered strangely.

But soon, "Hold your breath."

He heard a faint breathing sound, someone is here!

But...

Soon, that breathing sound vanished, and gusts of Qing feng blew past, as if everything just heard did not exist.

At this moment, the two people on the tree, Ning Chengyan stood, while Jiang Yunchu sat on a sturdy trunk, her feet not touching the ground, the only thing she could hold onto was Ning Chengyan's shoulder; she sat on the trunk, exactly half a head taller than Ning Chengyan.

Just as the little captain said, "Hold your breath," Ning Chengyan directly pressed her head, and their lips and teeth met...

Jiang Yunchu widened her eyes, those black-and-white distinct eyes blinked, long lashes brushed Ning Chengyan's skin, yet it felt as if they brushed his heart's tip, soft, tender, itchy, as if something was stirring, as if something wanted to break through the ground.

Jiang Yunchu instinctively wanted to dodge, but Ning Chengyan's hand pressed her head.

The captain led people, constantly searching in this alley.

"Captain, there's nothing here."

"Captain, there's nothing here either."

One after another reported voices, the captain wondered doubtfully, could I have misheard?

Standing under the big tree, he looked at the tree, but then realized, that woman had no martial arts, this tree so tall, it was impossible to climb.

"I misheard, let's search elsewhere."

"Search carefully, if you find that woman, the Great Prince will give a generous reward."

"Yes."

After those words, the group left, Ning Chengyan also released Jiang Yunchu's head, then departed from those lips full of sweet fragrance.

"I..."

He was about to explain a couple of sentences, but Jiang Yunchu shook her head, "I know, I currently have no martial arts, my breathing is loud, easy to give away position."

She was originally a martial artist; at first she struggled, still not reacting, but now she has reacted, naturally understanding his action.

Moreover, if it weren't for his appearance, I would probably really be caught by Xige.

Her stealing the seal affair probably hasn't been discovered, right?

Xige is so pushy, grabbing and not letting go—why? Out of shame turning to anger?

Not just shame turning to anger? Xige now has a blackened face, and I can even smell that hateful woman's scent still in the room; that woman, after flirting, actually ran away…ran away…

"We must catch that woman!"

If he catches her, he will surely make that damned woman unable to get out of bed for three days, watching her beneath him, living a dreamy, intoxicated life.

And at this moment, Jiang Yunchu has a slight headache; the Inn is no longer an option to return to, and she also needs to hurry to another place.

Now she is immensely relieved that her face hasn't been seen by Xige, but Zi Niang has seen it, which probably won't stay hidden for long.

"You're looking for Xige, what for?"

"How are you here?"

For a moment, the two suddenly had an awkward atmosphere; Ning Chengyan one hand supported her waist, fearing she would fall from the branch, the other hand lightly touched his own lips; now his mouth was filled with her sweet taste, a sweetness of locust flower honey, carrying a fresh fragrance, intoxicating.

Ning Chengyan looked at her eyes that seemed able to speak, lightly smiled, "General Jiang has been poisoned; now everyone in the four directions is in peril; Da Ning has been able to hold firm for years only because of the four-direction iron bucket—no one can break it even a bit; if Xi Fang has trouble, it's not just Xi Fang, but will lead to a situation of strong attacks from all four sides."

"I am essentially a dead person; appearing anywhere is not surprising; after all these years, I've grown accustomed to darkness—who would think someone dead for many years would appear in Xijiang?"

Ning Chengyan did not conceal, his Young Princess Consort is not someone from the inner palace; she has her own thoughts and judgment, her own way of thinking, she can educate many children; he has always respected her and cooperated with her.

Just like today, he fears she will be harmed, he also fears Xige has touched her, but…

He doesn't know her plan, doesn't know how to cooperate with her; he is willing to wait, and when she needs help, he will naturally appear.

Jiang Yunchu blinked her eyes; that pitch-black curtain, somewhat blocking the view, also too conspicuous, had long been thrown by her into her space; now looking at Ning Chengyan, she suddenly realized this man, although a stud, is still somewhat sincere?

At least now, he is not placating her in a chauvinistic way.

"I came to Xijiang to obtain a medicinal guide; only Xige's West Wind Mirror has it; General Jiang's antidote must use this guide." In a few words, she explained why she appeared here and also her presence at Mi Xiang Ju.

She still bears the title of Regent's Consort, which to Ning Chengyan seems very unfair.

But having taken Xige's seal, she cannot let him discover it; having time to look for medicinal herbs, this is the only path, she has no other choice.

Kill? Wake up.

"You…" Ning Chengyan didn't know what happened in the room, but he was jealous of Xige; at that time, the time he and the Young Princess Consort spent together was actually not as long as with Xige.

Jiang Yunchu stared blankly, looking at his somewhat red eyes, a restrained expression.

She lightly hooked her lips, closed her eyes, Jiang Yunchu, don't be foolish—this man already has two children, how could he care about a woman?

"I seduced him."

She gave a light laugh, raised her head, looked at Ning Chengyan, without provocation, even without stimulation; at this moment, because they were husband and wife, although only nominally husband and wife, she thought she should be frank with him.
