stern wife

Chapter 239
What should be said was already said last night, what should be said was also said last night, and the two of them didn't say anything more along the way.

But even though there was no communication between the two, there was no embarrassment at all. The scene of walking slowly forward one after the other even inexplicably gave people a feeling of very close relationship.

Doctor Tao certainly didn't like this feeling.

Even though Pei Xiaoran was about to leave for Suzaku soon, Doctor Tao didn't even want the two of them to get along well in the remaining time.

After changing his mind, Doctor Tao thought about what words he would use to attract the attention of His Royal Highness Li Wang.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity of speaking with His Highness Li Wang, he pushed Pei Xiaoran who was next to him aside indiscriminately.

Quickly thinking about the topic, Doctor Tao raised his hand to caress the hairpin on his temples, evoked the softest smile, and took a few steps to get closer to His Royal Highness Li Wang who was in front of him.

Unexpectedly, probably because of her eagerness, she didn't pay attention to the road under her feet for a while, and stepped on a stone, slipped and fell to the side.

"what--!"

The side of the winding mountain road is not a grassland or woodland, but a straight line to the ground. Although the position is not too high from the ground, it will definitely not be unscathed if it falls.

Doctor Tao is not as quick and agile as Pei Xiaoran, at this moment he doesn't know how to react when he falls, and he is about to fall down the mountain.

Qin Guan saw that his prince had clearly turned around and saw him, and he could save Doctor Tao with a stretch of his hand, but he was indifferent, so he rushed forward, grabbed Doctor Tao's belt, and pulled him back alive. Together with Dr. Tao, he fell to the ground.

"Oh! What's the matter?"

Baili Lieyuan exclaimed, as if she had just discovered it, then raised her head and shouted to the attendants behind her:
"What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly help Doctor Tao back to the mansion, and see if there is any injury!"

"Yes!"

The attendants hurried forward and helped Doctor Tao and Qin Guan to their feet.

Doctor Tao only felt a piercing pain in the ankle that stepped on the stone when he stood up, and he probably sprained it accidentally when he slipped and fell.

And Qin Guan is not a person who can pity and cherish jade, most people will choose to hug the other person's waist when they fall, but he is good, he just pulls on the belt, and Doctor Tao's stomach is also burning with pain.

But at this moment, Doctor Tao didn't have the heart to take care of her wounds at all. She only had one thought in her mind, that is, absolutely not to give Pei Xiaoran any chance to get along with His Royal Highness Li Wang alone!
Although Pei Xiaoran personally told her that he would not be fascinated by a man just because he was good-looking.

But everyone has a love of beauty, Doctor Tao didn't believe her nonsense!

Moreover, although Pei Xiaoran is young, he is very smart. Who knows if he will use some scheming means to seduce His Royal Highness Li Wang during the rest of the journey?

So, no matter what, she can't go back!
Throwing away the attendants who were supporting him and wanting to walk back, Doctor Tao resisted the severe pain and stood up straight, straightened his messed up clothes, forced a smile, and said:

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Besides, Miss Pei is leaving soon. Even if something happens, I will send Miss Pei down the mountain before returning home."

Pei Xiaoran scratched the back of her head, wondering if she had lost her memory, otherwise why couldn't she remember when she had such a good relationship with this doctor Tao?

Baili Lieyuan looked very appreciative, smiled and nodded in approval:
"Doctor Tao's kindness is really touching. If that's the case, then let's go on."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Pei Xiaoran and continued walking down the mountain with her.

Dr. Tao has to be carried by people when playing in the palace, for fear of tiring his master.

Now not only have no steps to sit on, but the foot is injured, and I have to continue walking with the injured foot. One can imagine the feeling.

Especially because of his injured foot, he couldn't keep up with the person in front, and it became impossible to get in between the two of them.

Dr. Tao gritted his teeth, desperately trying to comfort himself that luckily he wasn't injured to the point where he couldn't even walk.

As long as he is still there, Pei Xiaoran will never dare to do anything outrageous in front of an outsider like her.

Every step that followed was as painful as walking on a sharp knife edge. Doctor Tao never felt that the way down the mountain was so long.

After finally reaching the foot of the mountain, the group of people saw Suzaku's men and horses clean up, and all the tents and other things were put away, obviously ready to go.

The tributes from Suzaku had already been sent to Kyoto, but there were much more carriages surrounded by people and horses than when they came.

Pei Xiaoran looked at Baili Lieyuan suspiciously.

The two seemed to have a good understanding, she didn't need to speak, Baili Lieyuan had already guessed what she wanted to ask, and explained:

"There are still quite a few soldiers whose injuries have not healed, and I am afraid that they are not suitable for riding horses, so this king has prepared a few more carriages for them."

Pei Xiaoran was startled for a moment, then smiled, and said with a happy smile:
"Thank you, His Royal Highness Li Wang, for your compassion."

Baili Lieyuan nodded very usefully, then pointed to the carriage that Pei Xiaoran was riding in, and said:
"The king of your carriage has been refurbished, and many hidden compartments have been set up. There are some snacks and snacks in it. When you are hungry on the road, you can eat something to fill your stomach."

Pei Xiaoran looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that his carriage looked much bigger than before, and the materials used for the carriage, carriage boards, and wheels were completely different from the previous ones.

This is simply a new carriage...

The corner of Pei Xiaoran's mouth twitched, but he still thanked him sincerely:

"Thank you, Your Highness Li Wang."

Baili Lieyuan waved her hand and said with a smile:

"Don't be polite to me. These are what I should do. It can be regarded as my repayment to you for saving my life."

While talking, Ding Fei over there had already walked over, cupped his hands to Pei Xiaoran, and asked for instructions:

"Miss Pei, shall we leave now?"

Pei Xiaoran nodded, then raised his small face to look at Baili Lieyuan.

Baili Lieyuan didn't show it on the face, but there was a burst of joy in her heart. This little thing should be reluctant to part with him, right?
However, Pei Xiaoran looked back at Doctor Tao, who was staring at them fiercely, and then waved to His Royal Highness Li Wang.

Baili Lieyuan was puzzled, but she still squatted down according to her intention, looked at her level, and asked:
"how……?"

Before she finished speaking, Baili Lieyuan felt two small hands resting on her shoulders, and then, with a 'chirp', a warm and soft thing fell on her forehead.

His Royal Highness Li Wang opened his eyes wide and froze.

Pei Xiaoran let go of him with a smile, then looked back, and saw a face full of jealousy and hatred as expected, wishing to pounce on her and eat her raw.

Heh, even though this doctor Tao's calculations are not painful or itchy to her, she doesn't even care about those exclusions.

However, if someone troubles you and doesn't pay back one or two, how can it be okay?
To be a human being, one must know how to reciprocate.
