Chapter 17: Late Night Talk

After leaving the inn, Mo Caicai always felt that he couldn't lift his breath and panicked. She knew that Lin Ye had been following her behind her, and the slower she walked, the slower he walked. "This fool doesn't know how to come up and coax me, it's really a big fool, a big fool......" Caicai thought as she kicked the pebbles under her feet in a huff.

It was getting late, and the shops on the side of the road closed early. The two walked like this one after the other, until Mo Caicai suddenly stopped. She saw a ragged man lying there on the side of the road, it was nothing unusual, although Qicheng was very wealthy, but after all, it was not a royal city, and it was common to have one or two beggars. But there was an unusual flush on this person's face, and red wheals appeared in the tattered places of his clothes, Caicai frowned and squatted down, about to reach out to pull the person's clothes away, Lin Ye grabbed her hand and pulled it back, "What are you doing?

"Of course I know he's sick, so I won't go to see him if he's not. Mo Caicai shook off Lin Ye's hand and continued the action just now. She lifted a piece of her raged clothes, and the surface of the man's exposed skin was covered in red, visibly spreading to the bottom of the skin, and even the blood vessels under the skin were faintly bulging outward. "Hey, I'm afraid this person is hopeless. He's probably sick with the plague, and you can see that his skin and his face are very red, and he must have been infected for some time. ”

Lin Ye also squatted down, carefully flipped through the person's clothes and belongings, and looked around again, "Caicai, I'll go to the mansion here, this person can't die in this place where people come and go, you go back to the inn first, go back there and wait for me, don't run around." ”

"Good. ”

Cai Cai agreed, and then stood up and walked to the inn. She took a few steps and looked back in the direction of Lin Ye, only to see his back, so she stayed where she was, until Lin Ye's back disappeared into the night, she turned around and walked slowly back to the inn. Back in front of the guest room where she and Coco were staying, Caicai was just about to push the door when Antarite suddenly walked out of the side, almost frightening Caicai, who was in a fugue for a while. Fortunately, Caicai instantly covered the word "ah" that was about to be shouted.

"Don't you know that people can be scared to death?!" she patted her chest and let out a long sigh.

Antares still didn't have a good face at her, "If I can scare you to death, I'm very happy." ”

"If you can't speak, don't speak. ”

"Miss Mo, I'm not kidding you. I'm going to leave later, and before that, I'll say thank you on behalf of Your Highness II, after all, it's thanks to your pills. I really can't put my mind at ease here...... I just hope that Miss Mo will take care of her. Sutar's thanks sounded very sincere, but these words were not much sarcastic in Mo Caicai's ears, what is this? She held back her anger and replied with a smile: "Heart girl, you can go on the road with peace of mind, don't worry about the things here." ”

"Good. Antarite barely managed to squeeze out a smile and turned away.

Seeing her walk away, Caicai sighed and said to the door of the guest room: "Come out, eavesdropping is not a lady's ceremony." ”

Qin Keke slowly pushed the door out of the room, and saw Mo Caicai standing there looking at her, her pretty face flushed, "Caicai, you, you're back." ”

"I'm tired, let's go inside. "It would be a lie not to be angry, but she was really tired today and just wanted to rest early.

It can be seen that she really looks tired, and immediately flashes over, "Then come in and rest." ”

The two entered the house one after another, Caicai was busy fetching water and washing her face and didn't speak again, but it can be seen that she was very worried in her heart, and she hesitated to explain to Caicai. When Caicai cleaned up, Coco was still pacing back and forth, and Caicai secretly laughed in her heart, "Is this girl stupid?" She took off her coat and was about to go to bed, turning her head to look at Coco, and it happened that Coco was also looking at her, Caicai shook her head helplessly, "Hey, Coco, what do you want to say?"

"I, I..." Coco leaned slowly towards the side of the bed step by step, seeing that Caicai's face was not angry, her heart calmed down a little, and then continued: "Today's thing is that we can't stand you, I just hope that you have a lot of adults, don't worry about us." Whatever you want me to do in the future, I will be duty-bound. ”

"Now that it's happened, I don't want to worry about it with you anymore, it's not that I'm overestimated, it's just that it doesn't mean much to me. Although your actions are for the sake of the people, they have really broken my heart. Mo Caicai sat on the bed and looked up at Coco who was standing by the bed, and she finally waved her hand to Coco kindly, "You sit down first, if you talk like this, I'm afraid I will twist my neck when I get up tomorrow." ”

Qin Keke hurriedly sat down as he said.

Caicai took out the dragon scales and held them in his hand, and carefully groped for the Min Wen on it, which is a secret that ordinary people don't know, not all dragon scales are engraved with Min Wen, except for the royal family with a respected status in the dragon clan. She doesn't know how to practice, Min Wen is not of much use to her, she is thinking that when this matter is over, she will teach Min Wen to Ono and make his practice go to the next level.

"Caicai, don't be angry with me, okay?" Coco put on her killer move, staring at Mo Caicai with tears in her eyes, her mouth pursed, which means, if you are still angry, I will cry to you!

Mo Caicai was amused by Coco's pufferfish-like expression, "Hahaha, don't look like this, I'm not Lin Zhi." It's not going to work for you to be coquettish with me. ”

"Wow, Caicai, you're smiling, you're not angry. ”

"I wasn't mad at you, and you're not the mastermind. ”

Hearing this, Ke Ke was stunned, "You guessed everything?"

Even though it's the height of summer, the nights are a bit cool. Caicai sniffed, pulled open the quilt on one side and covered the two of them.

"I'm not a god, how can I be like a god. It's just that when it comes to stratagem, you juniors are indeed inferior to your elders. Listen to me. ”

"Well, you say, you say, how do you know. When did you find out?"

"Ever since I said I would stay in the palace, your king has begun to trick me. If what I said is right, your king arranged for me to live with Lin Xiang in advance, he thought that the queen could visit Lin Xiang from time to time so that he could spy on me, who knew that Ono ruined his plan in order to protect me, so I simply came to Ono, so he took advantage of the situation and let me live in the Qiyun Palace, but your king's action was also really fast, and he specially assigned a maid to me, I think that the maid was also the person he had arranged in Ono's dormitory a long time ago, which is also a bird with one stone, but according to my understanding of Lin Ye, he must have known these for a long time, but he didn't want to debunk it, of course, he was also to protect me。 ”

"I knew more than I did, and I only knew their plans before I left. Lin Zhi told me that the people need your pills, but they are not at ease, so they need me to go with them. ”

"Coco, you're really innocent sometimes. How do they know that my pills are working, and that a small plague will need to use the elixir in my hand?"

"What?"

"Well, sister, I'll tell you about this. First of all, those elixirs of mine were naturally reported to the king by the maids beside me, which is easy to understand. How scarce the elixir is, how could the king not know that he asked you to follow, ostensibly to let you study the elixir so that everyone could use it. The truth is, he wants to know what the hell is still hidden in my hands. People are all the same, and if you sit in a certain position, you will only need more. He knew that I had been to the Dragon Clan, and he knew that the Dragon Clan was a long-lived clan. I won't say whether the king has that mind or not, just because he is monitoring my every move, I will conclude that your king's ambition is not only to coexist peacefully with the demons, I guess he has something unspeakable, he wants to get rid of this, but now, no one in the human race can do it, my appearance has ignited his hope. This trip was also because he wanted to see if I had what he needed. ”

"How, how..." Qin Keke's heart trembled inexplicably, she is the eldest lady of Prime Minister Qin's family, she has been in the palace since she was a child, and she has a very close relationship with the prince and princess, not to mention that her father is still a minister above 10,000 people under one person, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child, how to say that she is also very virtuous about these political colors, but Mo Caicai said this, she would never go there to think about it, because she has never questioned the emperor above.

Mo Caicai patted Qin Keke's hand, "Don't think about it, your father and Lin Zhidu have protected you very well, so leave these things to them." I'm going to protect you, relax. What she said tonight may be a baptism of Qin Keke's blind respect for the emperor for many years, although it is more straightforward, but she is also for her good, who can know what will happen in the future, her father will also grow old one day, if she marries into the royal family in the future, who can support her, she can only learn to protect herself.

"I, I have nothing to do with Lin Zhi. How much he wants to protect me. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, what's your blushing?"

Coco felt her cheeks flush and burn, and she quickly fanned them with her hands. "Okay, okay, Caicai, you're the best, I'm going to sleep. As soon as he finished speaking, Coco hurriedly got into the quilt. I only heard her sullen voice from the quilt, "Caicai, you should go to sleep quickly, Ming... There's something to do tomorrow. ”

Mo Caicai laughed out loud, this heartless Qin Keke is really good to be protected. She simply lay down and said softly to Coco, "Sleep." ”

After a while, Qin Keke's sleeping snoring came into the ears of Mo Caicai, who was still counting sheep, she really had too much brain movement today, and she couldn't sleep if she wanted to. 'The hearts of people here are so complicated, and they don't have the comfort of dragons at all. Ryuki, Ryuki, Ryuzakura, Ryuzakura, I really miss you a little...' Caicai thought about the days when she was eating, drinking, and having fun in the Dragon Clan, and then unconsciously closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Listening to the sound of Caicai and Coco's even breathing, Lin Ye lay on the bed in his own room, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After the two of them returned to the room, he listened to every word of the conversation. 'Mo Caicai, Caicai... ... If you protect others, who will protect you...'
