Chapter 249 Great opportunity
The eastern sky began to turn pale, heralding the arrival of a new day. Xiao Jinghan stood at the door, looking at the sky that was about to break dawn, sighed deeply, and then turned and left the room.
Four men in black were kneeling in the yard, their heads bowed, their expressions serious and nervous. The leading man in black had a deep sense of self-blame on his face, and after saluting to Xiao Jinghan, he said: "Master, I failed in my duty! I failed to detect Xiao Jingyi's plan in time!"
Xiao Jinghan smiled slightly, as if he didn't care, and waved his hand to signal them to stand up. He asked: "Everyone stand up and talk! What did you find out?"
The leading black-clad man stood up and answered respectfully, "Young Master, we found Jia Guang and Xiao Jingyi together! But because we were worried about being discovered, we didn't dare to get too close!"
Xiao Jinghan frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and said in surprise: "Jia Guang is still alive? He is not dead?"
The man in black hesitated for a moment and answered cautiously: "Young Master, we are no match for him. Why don't we take this opportunity to leave Nanyi and avoid his edge..."
Xiao Jinghan's expression became serious. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll consider this matter. What about Xiao Xiao? How is she now?"
The man in black immediately replied: "Xiao Xiao has successfully entered the residence of General Shen Xu and became a maid. She said that the old general might have been poisoned by a chronic poison, but the specific situation needs further investigation."
Xiao Jinghan nodded gently and said, "Okay, I got it. Tell Xiao Xiao to be careful and not to reveal her identity. Also, you must not get close to Xiao Jingyi's yard again. Jia Guang is a lunatic. Once he finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."
The people in black all nodded, indicating that they understood. They knew very well how dangerous Jia Guang was, and they also understood Xiao Jinghan's concerns.
After Xiao Jinghan returned to the room, he found that Luo Lingyue had woken up. She was sitting on the bed, clutching the quilt with both hands, with a very conflicted expression.
He slowly walked to the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you feeling unwell?"
When Luo Lingyue heard his voice, her body froze, then she raised her head, looked at him with a slightly red face, and stammered, "That... Xiao Jinghan! Last night was just an accident, you don't have to have a psychological trauma!"
Xiao Jinghan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted up, as if smiling, "Psychological shadow? You are my wife who I married in a formal ceremony, what psychological shadow can I have?"
Luo Lingyue's face turned even redder, and she widened her eyes, not quite believing what she heard. She thought Xiao Jinghan would be dissatisfied or embarrassed with her because of what happened last night, but she didn't expect him to be so calm and composed.
Xiao Jinghan looked at her lovely appearance, couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't take what happened last night to heart. We are husband and wife, this is all very normal."
Luo Lingyue frowned and her lips pursed unconsciously: "Don't worry! I won't rely on you! If you have someone you love in the future, we can get divorced!"
When Xiao Jinghan heard her words, he felt uncomfortable. Last night, they had spent a whole night together, full of tenderness and love. But after just a short while, she was busy trying to distance herself from him? Did she really hate him so much? The more Xiao Jinghan thought about it, the angrier he became. A mouthful of sweetness welled up in his throat.
Seeing his pale face and blood on the corners of his lips, Luo Lingyue panicked and jumped off the bed barefoot. She quickly took out a silver needle from the bedside and pierced the acupuncture points on Xiao Jinghan's body to regulate the chaotic energy in his body.
Luo Lingyue said anxiously: "Don't be angry! Calm yourself!"
Xiao Jinghan looked at the flustered woman in front of him, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He reached out and grabbed Luo Lingyue's wrist, pulling her into his arms.
Xiao Jinghan gently stroked Luo Lingyue's hair and whispered, "Xiao Yue'er! You are my wife, and you can't leave me unless I die!"
Luo Lingyue felt Xiao Jinghan's warm embrace, and a ripple appeared in her heart. She looked up at Xiao Jinghan, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.
Xiao Jinghan gently kissed Luo Lingyue's forehead and said softly: "Xiao Yue'er, don't leave me..."
Luo Lingyue's heart suddenly jumped, and she looked at Xiao Jinghan with wide eyes: "Xiao Jinghan! We are just partners. What's more, don't you already have someone you like in your heart?"
Xiao Jinghan slowly squatted down and looked up at her. Luo Lingyue found that his eyes were full of her own shadow. She sighed helplessly: "Xiao Jinghan..."
Xiao Jinghan softened his voice and said softly: "The person in my heart has always been you."
Luo Lingyue stared into his eyes and felt that he was not lying. She felt flustered. She changed the subject awkwardly: "Have you found out what's going on?"
Xiao Jinghan stood up, walked over to sit beside her, and answered in a low voice: "It was Xiao Jingyi and Jia Guang who conspired together."
Luo Lingyue frowned and asked in confusion: "Who is Jia Guang?"
Xiao Jinghan clenched his fists tightly, his voice filled with resentment: "He is the former high priest of Youli, and he was the one who developed the Biluo Poison!"
Luo Lingyue nodded in sudden realization: "So it was him! He was the one who poisoned your grandfather and father? Then, he was the one who poisoned you, too, right?"
Xiao Jinghan lowered his voice and said in a heavy tone: "Xiao Yue'er, we must leave here as soon as possible! This man is a complete lunatic!"
Luo Lingyue looked at Xiao Jinghan and asked softly, "What are your plans? After all, we have to have a reasonable reason to leave here!"
Xiao Jinghan's face became extremely serious. He lowered his voice and said, "They used such a secret method to drug us last night, because they were sure that as long as we performed the Zhougong ritual, I would die suddenly! So we might as well take advantage of the situation and use this opportunity to leave here!"
Luo Lingyue naturally didn't believe that he was in such a hurry to leave because he was afraid of Jia Guang. He must have something more important to do, and this thing could only be completed after leaving Nanyi. So she stared at Xiao Jinghan's eyes, trying to find some clues from his eyes.
When Xiao Jinghan saw the questioning look in Luo Lingyue's eyes, he knew that she had seen through his thoughts, but he still pretended to be calm and smiled faintly, and replied: "I'm going to the junction of Dazhao and Youli to find someone! This is my best chance to leave Nanyi smoothly!"
Luo Lingyue understood what he meant, nodded, and then expressed her thoughts: "Why not announce to the public that the prince is weak and not suitable for sex. He was tossed all night last night, which made his body empty. Now the prince is dying, and the princess regrets it so much that she decided to take the prince to find famous doctors! How about this statement?"
Xiao Jinghan raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "You really don't care about your reputation anymore!"
Luo Lingyue curled her lips and said: "Fame is nothing to me!"
