Chapter 291 Should I Go or Stay
Seeing Lou Xiao whispering softly while shaking the patient and calling his name, the witch doctor couldn't bear it.
He stood up, shook his sleeves, and slapped Ai Ying. The loud slap startled Li Huaiqing.
What’s more, Lou Xiao is even closer.
She was so confused that she didn't even notice how fast the witch doctor's hands were.
Ai Ying frowned, her face full of pain.
The witch doctor rolled up his sleeves and was about to slap him again, but Lou Xiao quickly grabbed the witch doctor's hand.
"No need."
"Send me my Da Huan Dan, and save Ai Ying's life." Li Huaiqing stepped forward and ordered the guards around him.
By the way, he asked Lou Xiao who was full of worries, "He still has something to eat tonight. Has he eaten yet? Can I have someone bring it over?"
Li Huaiqing still remembered how big her appetite was. Was there anyone in Qieyue Village who could feed her enough?
Whenever Lou Xiao thought of food, she couldn't help but think of the Gu in her body. Was it possible that the things she ate were feeding that thing?
Although she felt a chill in her heart, she still nodded, simply because she had never had a full meal since she came to Qieyue Village.
She looked at Ai Ying and felt his pulse, which was still strong.
Under Li Huaiqing's guidance, she walked to the dining table outside the bedroom. Li Huaiqing poured her some water, and Lou Xiao took it.
Asking about the so-called "Da Huan Dan",
"What is Da Huan Dan? Ai Ying's condition is worrying. It's all my fault—"
"My family's doctor ground a hundred-year-old ginseng into powder and added twelve precious medicinal herbs to make it. Now there are only two pills left.
Although it doesn’t have the power to bring back the dead, just one pill can save a life.”
Li Huaiqing comforted her, "It is common for a guard to get injured. He is in good health, and with my Da Huan Dan, he will be fine."
"That's good," Lou Xiao said, but she still felt a little depressed.
Ai Ying was Li Huaiqing's bodyguard. Fortunately, he did not ask about the details, otherwise Lou Xiao would not know how to tell him why she hurt Ai Ying.
As the delicious dishes were served one after another, Lou Xiao found that the dishes on the table were as delicious as possible when she picked up her chopsticks.
She whispered a thank you to Li Huaiqing, for the meal and for his Dahuandan.
Li Huaiqing smiled and pushed the plate of stir-fried beef towards her.
"Let's eat first."
He actually had no appetite, and was still thinking about her that he saw on the hillside.
Now she acts as if nothing has happened, and the look in her eyes at that time seems to be an illusion.
Mo Jingchun fell into the river, and his chance of survival was extremely small. Although Li Huaiqing was somewhat pleased, he did not take him seriously.
The two royal sons in the capital are Li Huaiqing's biggest obstacles.
The woman in front of him ate very quickly, which was not considered rude in Li Huaiqing's years of education, but it was not pretty either.
Lou Xiao was completely different from the future partner he had imagined. He still remembered the first time he saw her.
Although she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her eyes were unfocused, like a knight who had accidentally stepped into their wealthy circle in the capital, and was out of place.
She saw through their desires and disdained to join in this game of power.
Lou Xiao is not suitable for living in the capital. Li Huaiqing always feels that she will fall down in the capital one day.
He was also happy to help her up when she was at a loss, so that she would rely on him and regard him as an indispensable person in her life.
What's the point of just a marriage certificate?
What Li Huaiqing wanted was never those fake relationships that could break at any time.
"Miss Lou, are you here in Nanzi for something important? I also have to stay in Nanzi for a while to clear out the nails that the former King Zheng planted in Nanzi. I hope Miss Lou will come with me."
He was inviting her to share the benefits with him. If Lou Xiaoruo was a smart person, she should happily accept it.
With the merit she had gained for nothing, she could use it to shut up those powerful people in the capital when she returned, lest they say that she did not deserve the title of Duke of Zhenguo.
Lou Xiao stopped and said,
"I'm afraid I have to go back."
Since Nanzi couldn't cure her poison, it would be useless for her to stay.
And with what happened to Mo Jingchun just now, she really didn't want to face it...
Are we really not going to make any more effort?
And what should she do after returning to the capital?
Go and talk to your senior sister about the Gu in your body and ask her if she knows about it?
She found that more difficult to face than Mo Jingchun.
“I’d better stay here. Ai Ying is your most capable guard, and he’s so seriously injured that he can’t protect you for a while.
Nanzi is full of hidden talents. What you are about to do involves the interests of some people, and you are also in danger."
She will temporarily take Ai Ying's place and protect Li Huaiqing.
This was exactly what Li Huaiqing wanted. In order to prevent her from changing her mind suddenly, Li Huaiqing deliberately mentioned what Anilan had done to him before, indicating that he was indeed very dangerous.
Lou Xiao was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Anilan would fall in love with Li Huaiqing?
"Then, then you guys——" It won't work, right?
Li Huaiqing's eyes were somewhat dim and somewhat relieved, "Fortunately, my guards were smart and called the high priest, so I was not coerced.
The people of Nanzi are tough and sturdy, which is unimaginable for us in the capital. She just has some unreasonable thoughts and does not want to hurt my life. If... "
If he offended a village in the course of his work and someone tried to kill him, the scholar Li Huaiqing might be in danger of his life.
Lou Xiao Anilan stayed for a few days. She was a true and uninhibited girl. Maybe she made a last-minute decision because she saw that Li Huaiqing was good-looking.
How could she tell Li Huaiqing not to worry about her chastity because Anilan would soon identify her next target?
But seeing that Li Huaiqing was obviously still frightened, he couldn't resist after all. If Anilan really wanted to do something to Li Huaiqing,
She always finds an opportunity.
After all, this kind of thing is nothing in Nanzi.
Lou Xiao put down her chopsticks. Now it was her turn to comfort him. "I'll go talk to Anilan tomorrow. She shouldn't bother you anymore."
If Li Huaiqing lost his innocence in Nanzi, it might be more painful for him than taking his life.
Lou Xiao knew that he was a very proud person. He was born in a big family and was the most famous son in the capital.
How could he be willing to be touched by Anilan if he looked down upon everyone?
Maybe only senior sister Li Huaiqing would like him?
Lou Xiao never thought about herself, she could still distinguish the atmosphere between men and women.
Thinking that after all, they were all working for Senior Sister, if Li Huaiqing admired Senior Sister, then no matter whether he would enter the harem in the future,
She has to protect him.
"Let's put it this way. I'll go find Anilan tomorrow. I'll never allow her to have any ideas about you again while I'm here."
