Chapter 500 The One Who Protects Her
After Yan Qing sent Xiao Yu back to his bedroom, he put his hands on his hips and walked to Yun Ting, squinting at him and questioned, "Tell me the truth, when did the prince assign you the task? How come I didn't know about it?"
Yun Ting's mouth curled up, and he was very proud. "The missions are assigned to the capable ones, so there is no need for others to know."
After saying that, he walked around Yan Qing and left.
Seeing his smug look, Yan Qing sneered, "What's so great about that? I can stay in the mansion to accompany the prince!"
Looking at the bedroom door, Yan Qing smiled happily, turned around and left Furong Pavilion.
Essential oils for massage were placed on the table in the bedroom, and Su Lingyue fell asleep on the bed.
Her butterfly-wing eyelashes stuck to her cheeks. Because there was a stove in the room, it was a little hot, and Su Lingyue's little face turned red.
"Yue'er."
Worried that Su Lingyue might get too hot, Xiao Yu sat down beside the bed and gently squeezed Su Lingyue's little hand.
Su Lingyue opened her eyes in a daze, blinked, and after seeing Xiao Yu clearly, her heart was filled with joy.
"When did you come back?" Su Lingyue sat up and moved closer to Xiao Yu with a bright smile.
"Just now." Xiao Yu touched Su Lingyue's little face and said softly, "Take off your clothes before going to bed, don't get too hot."
"I've already slept well. Are you feeling weak, Your Majesty?"
"Well, somewhat."
Xiao Yu responded softly, feeling somewhat guilty. But now he could only find an excuse to keep her in the mansion and wait for Xiao Changan to leave the capital.
After Su Lingyue took Xiao Yu's pulse and confirmed that he was in good health, she relaxed and said softly, "The pulse is the same as usual. I will help the prince undress."
Xiao Yu stood up and let Su Lingyue undress him.
With only a pair of underwear left on his body, Xiao Yu took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, waiting for Su Lingyue.
It was too hot in the room, so after Su Lingyue hung her clothes on the hanger, she also took off her own clothes, leaving only a set of white silk undergarments.
After taking the essential oil for massage, he carefully stepped over the prone Xiao Yu and sat down on the bed.
"Let's use jasmine essential oil."
“Any other scents?”
"No." Su Lingyue answered playfully.
Xiao Yu's lips curled up slightly.
On my back, the little hands had already applied some essential oil and rubbed it until it was slightly warm. The force was neither too light nor too heavy, and it felt very comfortable when pressed on my body.
"I went to see Xiao Changan today."
"Really? Nothing happened!"
Su Lingyue didn't stop her movements and didn't even look too surprised. Xiao Yu's expression also relaxed.
Her little maid Caidie was a know-it-all and could hide anything new in the capital from her. Su Lingyue must have known that Xiao Changan had been released from house arrest.
"No. Xiao Changan is going to Xiangzhou to suppress the bandits. It is uncertain whether it will be a good or bad trip, so he sent Yun Ting to go with him. Today, I am going to take Yun Ting to finalize the matter."
"It's a good deal for him to let the prince's guards protect him!"
Su Lingyue had just finished mumbling to herself when she remembered that Yan'er's coming-of-age banquet would be in two days. She and Xiao Yu would definitely go. It would be troublesome if Yun Ting went with them. For this mission, it would be better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
At this time, Xiao Yu said again: "Uncle Lu is not here, please ask Yue'er to prepare some common medicines for him to take with him when he leaves."
She had the key to Doctor Lu's yard, so it was not difficult to prepare the medicine, but Su Lingyue was not willing to prepare the medicine for Yun Ting.
Most of the medicines commonly used by servants in the palace were purchased by the government, and the special ones were prepared by Doctor Lu.
In addition to relatives and friends, there is also a maid who serves her personally. She is only happy to prepare medicine for Xiao Yu.
Su Lingyue refused decisively and answered in a muffled voice, "I have never been in a war, and I don't know what medicine will be used. Your Majesty has experience, so just ask the housekeeper to buy it. The mansion doesn't lack this little money."
Xiao Yu was very happy even though he could tell that Su Lingyue was unhappy.
He never refused to give him massage or prescribe medicine, but he would refuse others directly.
I didn't realize he had such a bad temper!
"Is Yue'er angry?" Xiao Yu asked with a chuckle.
"No, I have to prepare the medicine for my husband to take every day, give him massage, and take care of his daily meals. I don't have time."
Other men would feel sorry for their wives and worry that they would be tired. She didn't understand why Xiao Yu wanted her to do something that could be solved with money.
After hearing Su Lingyue's answer, Xiao Yu raised his lips. He asked softly, "If these bottles of medicine can win his loyalty, would Yue'er be willing to give them to him?"
Su Lingyue paused, thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, of course I'm willing. But he is loyal to the prince!"
"It's for you." Xiao Yu lowered his voice and said lightly: "My husband is ill and cannot protect you all the time. Aqing will do her best to protect you in small matters. If there are any big things in the future, you will also need someone who can do his best to protect you."
Su Lingyue understood Xiao Yu's explanation, but felt even more suffocated.
Xiao Yu said that in the future, he would not be involved, just like... arranging the affairs after death.
Su Lingyue pretended not to understand and said in a muffled voice, "He is loyal to the prince. If the prince asks him to do something, he will do it. I have the prince to protect me, and no one dares to do anything to me!"
The movements of his hands became increasingly gentle, as if he was handling fragile porcelain.
Xiao Yu sighed lightly, sat up, took Su Lingyue into his arms, and raised his hand to scratch the tip of her upturned nose.
"Little thing, you have a bad temper. Just think of it as your husband wanting to comfort him. Can you trouble Yue'er to do something?"
Xiao Yu never forced her to do anything she didn't like. He was so persistent about this matter, which showed how worried he was.
Su Lingyue felt a pain in her heart.
"Okay." She agreed with a smile, hugged Xiao Yu and said coquettishly: "I made the medicine for the prince. Once it is done, the prince can give it to anyone he wants."
She changed the subject, "But I have a condition!"
Seeing the bright smile on her face, Xiao Yu curled up his lips unconsciously, "What are your conditions, Yue'er? Tell me about them."
"Making medicine is a very boring job, Your Majesty has to accompany me." Su Lingyue kissed Xiao Yu on the face, "Your Majesty is extremely beautiful, just looking at me makes me feel good, and when I feel good, I have the motivation to do things."
"At such a young age, you are so pretty!"
"I'm your Majesty."
Xiao Yu felt more and more that Su Lingyue's little mouth was definitely filled with honey.
Otherwise why does it taste so sweet?
*
The next day, Xiao Yu did not go anywhere. He asked Caidie Caiyi to bring a rocking chair and sit next to Su Lingyue to watch her make medicine.
At Xiao Yu's suggestion, there were medicines for wounds, internal injuries, snake and insect bites, and aphrodisiacs.
The quantity is not large, just a small bottle of each.
I even made a bottle of digestive aid.
Before leaving, Xiao Yu handed the packed bag to Yun Ting, "Here are the medicines made by the princess, and they are categorized by name and usage."
Yun Ting's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of surprise, he nodded and took the bundle, his expression no longer as calm as before. "Thank you, Your Majesty, Princess."
Seeing the subtle changes on Yun Ting's face, Xiao Yu's eyes were heavy. He seemed unhappy, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
When people leave familiar people and things, they will feel uneasy to some extent. If there is comfort at this time, this comfort will be extremely precious to them.
Those who are in the depths of hell will grab hold of even the slightest comfort without hesitation.
In the future, if anything unexpected happens, Yue'er will have someone to truly protect her.
Xiao Yu reminded him gently, "Be careful when you go out. If you find any clues about the Spirit Fire Grass, please write to me immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor assigned five hundred imperial guards to escort Xiao Chang'an to Xiangzhou.
The sky was gloomy. Xiao Changan, wearing silver-scale armor, was riding on a horse and looking around.
Apart from the five hundred imperial guards and the city defenders, he did not see the guard that Xiao Yu mentioned.
Not far away, under the tower, Yan Qing handed another bundle to Yun Ting, "It's cold in the mountains. Inside are the long coat and boots that the prince asked me to pack for you. They are all new."
Yun Ting looked at the small bag he was carrying, then looked at the much larger bag that Yan Qing handed over, and without saying a word, he took it and hung it on the horse.
Yan Qing showed reluctance on his face, but was too embarrassed to say sentimental parting words, so he joked like he was playing around as usual, "You're on this mission alone this time, and if anything goes wrong, I'll be the first one to laugh at you when I get back!"
"You don't stand a chance!" Yun Ting said calmly, with a more relaxed tone, and then jokingly said, "Protect the prince and princess well. If anything happens, I will laugh at you for a year!"
"Humph! With my kung fu, you won't stand a chance!"
Yan Qing waved at him, urging him to leave quickly.
Just when Xiao Changan was getting impatient, Yun Ting came over on horseback.
Glancing at the package on his horse, Xiao Changan coldly ordered the soldiers: "Move on!"
