Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1080 She has his shadow on her body

In the night when the fire was flickering, Pang Huang sat on the cushion, beside him was Pang Zhijing who was entwined around him like an octopus and couldn't be pulled away.

Because he was soft-hearted for a moment, he hugged her back, which turned out to be a trouble for him in the end.

It was obvious that she had suffered from the cold and had a fever, and she was still wearing wet clothes, but there was no woman among the people he brought with him, so he couldn't change her clothes.

In the end, he could only use his internal strength to help her dry the clothes on her body.

"Master, the Nancang envoys have arrived at the next town, when are we going to leave?" the subordinate asked.

Xiao Hou ordered, "Find a carriage and come here, and set off at dawn."

"Yes, master."

The fire was burning quietly, and there were guards patrolling all around. When Xiao Hou picked up the water bag and was about to unscrew it, he suddenly heard a low whisper.

"I want to go home, Dad, Mom, I miss you so much—"

It came from the side.

He lowered his head, just in time to see Pang Zhijing, who was sleeping very uncomfortably, talking in a hoarse voice, his eyes fell on the bruise on her neck, and finally looked away.

"Invite Mr. Li here." Xiao Hou said in a low voice.

Soon a 40-year-old man came over with a medicine box on his back, and immediately looked at him, "My lord, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's not the king, it's her." Xiao Hou said warmly.

When Mr. Li saw the woman next to his prince, he was a little surprised. It was the first time in all these years that he saw a woman beside the prince. He didn't dare to delay, so he immediately put down the medicine box and knelt down to feel her pulse.

"Don't touch me, I don't want to stay here, don't be with the devil—" Pang Zhijing unconsciously waved Mr. Li's hand away, and rubbed her whole body towards Xiao Hou's side.

Xiao Hou twitched his eyes, devil?

Without hesitation, he reached out and pulled out her wrist, and handed it directly to Mr. Li.

Seeing this, Mr. Li, who had never been able to touch Pang Zhijing, looked at his lord in surprise, and then took it. He didn't dare to think too much, and took his pulse seriously.

After a while, Mr. Li withdrew his hand and stroked his beard with a strange expression on his face, "My lord, the princess is weak, and she has been infected with the wind and cold after being soaked in the water for too long. She is currently having a fever, but this is not important. After eating the decoction brewed below and sweating, more than half of the diseases can be cured, but—”

"Go ahead." This was within his expectation, but Mr. Li's words caught his attention.

Mr. Li pondered for a while, then sighed, "Princess Nancang has chronic and severe poison in her body, and the poison will develop within a year."

Xiao Hou was slightly taken aback, "What poison?"

"Nancang is an overbearing poison that kills life." Mr. Li stroked his beard and shook his head, "It's not that there is no way to detoxify this poison, it's just that the method is very complicated, and I don't have that ability."

"How long has the poison been on her?"

"It should be two months."

Xiao Hou thought for a while, and it happened that when she left Nancang to go to Xixuan, she was poisoned, and the poison had been dormant for a year, at that time, her mission in Xixuan was almost completed.

He could suddenly understand why she said she didn't trust Pang Huang. Maybe she didn't know that Pang Huang had poisoned her, but she was subconsciously wary of Pang Huang.

And through this incident, he also indirectly understood that Pang Huang was a person who never compromised his promises in order to achieve his goals, but also light on his promises.

It really is a qualified partner.

"One more thing." Mr. Li's words attracted Xiao Hou's attention, "The princess's leg injury was not that serious at the beginning, even if she was injured several times later, it did not affect her later recovery, but her leg injury It hasn’t recovered after so long because of external factors.”

"What external cause?" Xiao Hou asked.

"Someone tampered with the princess's medicine, or in other words, those medicines used by the princess cut corners, and the efficacy of [-]% of the medicine can only reach [-]%, which prolongs the recovery of the wound. According to this dosage, it is estimated that it will be fully recovered in Kyoto."

Mr. Li's words made Xiao Hou look at Pang Zhijing. He could not fully recover until he arrived in the capital. I'm afraid it was Pang Huang's tricks to prevent her from escaping.

At this time, seeing that he was lost in thought, Mr. Li didn't dare to disturb him, so he went down to make medicine.

After the medicine was ready, he waited for Pang Zhijing to take it, and Mr. Li withdrew.

"Hot, so hot—" the medicine started to take effect, Pang Zhijing couldn't help pulling the cloak on her body, and finally threw the cloak aside. Like a loach, she got into Xiao Hou's arms when he was not paying attention, and then She found a comfortable place in his arms and fell asleep.

When Xiao Hou lowered his head, she was already sleeping soundly in his arms, her cheeks were pink due to the effect of the medicine, in such a dark night, they looked like fruit flesh exuding a sweet smell.

I don't know who said just now, to stay away from this demon, but in the end, he ran in by himself.

He bent his lips and shook his head, trying to reach out to push her away, but at this moment, he felt that his whole body suddenly lost strength, and the blood flow in his body slowed down. He couldn't help but frowned and leaned against the tree trunk, slowly adjusting his breath , the person in his arms couldn't care less about dealing with it.

After a while, he opened his eyes again, the clothes on his back were already soaked, but his breath had calmed down.

For so many years, his body has been close to normal, and he no longer suffers from illnesses, but today he had a sudden attack. Is it because of his mood swings?

He couldn't help but lower his head and look at the person in his arms.

because of her?
Although Pang Zhijing's life wasn't worth his troubles, seeing such a sleeping and innocent girl, the experiences on her body overlapped with his own past one by one, brought back his youthful memories.

He leaned against the tree trunk, looked at the night sky above his head, and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth.

Fate is so tricky, it turns out that he and she are just pawns in the hands of the heavens.

But he didn't believe it, he would be so useless and incompetent for the rest of his life.

No one can control his future.

The sleeping Pang Zhijing may not know that the reason why she reached a cooperation with Xiao Hou so smoothly tonight and received his mercy in her illness is because, in her body, he saw his own shadow.

Seeking perfection after being wronged, lonely and proud, lick|licking the wounded self alone.

In the Huguo Temple, everything was sounding, Chu Qingyan, under the service of the maids, finished grooming and was about to read a book before going to rest on the couch.

"This temple is indeed different from ordinary people's homes. It is clean and tidy without any extraneous things, and the Vegetarian food has a unique flavor, but it is a bit bland." Xi Ning said while wiping the table.

Chu Qingyan smiled and said, "It seems that you are very satisfied with the temple. How about I tell the masters to see if they still need apprentices and send you there?"

Xi Ning immediately yelled, "Master, you'd better spare this servant, this servant wants to be with you forever!"

Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

Chu Qingyan shook her head and laughed, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the guard standing not far from the window, and suddenly thought of something.

"I think I might have to go out tonight." Her eyes were dark and her tone was very calm.
