Chapter 457: Breaking the Neck
Xia Ye's heart tightened, from the death of the Queen Mother to the poisoning of the emperor, this blind man could see that the queen was going to eradicate the stumbling blocks around her step by step, and Chu Chengde was afraid that it would also be very dangerous.
It's just that there is no pen and paper now, so it seems that I can only go to the inn to rest enough to write letters.
Putting away the letter from the grass, Xia Ye fell into deep thought, and his heart was faintly uneasy.
"Miss Ye, are you going to go to the slippery clan to take the path or the pipe?" Mu Yi, who had been bored with the horse, turned around and asked.
Xia Ye came back to his senses and asked, "Is there any difference?" ”
"The path is remote and safe, but the road is bumpy and delays, if you take the pipeline, you need to pass through Tubo and Yiman, faster, but I'm afraid of any danger."
Before coming out, his father-in-law told him that he should protect Miss Ye well along the way, as if there would really be any danger along the way, and Mu Yi, who was scared, didn't dare to be sloppy for a moment.
"Let's go through the pipes."
If it was usual, for the sake of safety, Xia Ye would definitely choose to let go of the path, but now she can't care so much, take the pipe quickly, she must hurry to the slippery clan to find her mother.
Mu Yi looked at Xia Ye, and then nodded: "Okay." ”
Looking at Mu Yi's appearance, she seemed to be worried about something, could it be that Murong Zhongtian was worried about what danger she would have? Doesn't seem like she's in any danger?
Xia Ye Nunu mouthed, glanced at the road outside, and simply fell asleep directly against the sedan chair.
"Miss Ye, wake up."
"Huh?" Xia Ye opened her eyes in a daze and saw a dark shadow looking at her, startling her.
"Mu Yi?" After seeing the person clearly, Xia Ye patted his chest and asked, "Why is it dark?" ”
Mu Yi pouted helplessly and said, "Yes, it's already dark, we just left the country of Pan, and now we have found an inn to live in." ”
"Huh? I've slept for so long, huh? Xia Ye hurriedly got up and prepared to get out of the car, but his neck was sore and numb.
"Oops, no."
"What's wrong?" Mu Yi nervously helped Xia Ye to ask worriedly.
"I feel like I've twisted my neck."
"Does it matter?" Mu Yi saw Xia Ye crooked his neck, so he had to let Xia Ye sit over first, and then pinched Xia Ye's neck with his hand.
"It hurts."
"Don't move, I've learned to bruise, you may have a misaligned bone, I'll break it for you."
"What? Break it down? Xia Ye hurriedly rolled to the side in fright: "Wouldn't that be painful to death?" ”
Mu Yi pulled Xia Ye out of the carriage, and then asked, "Then do you want to just hurt like this for a few days or just hurt a little?" ”
Xia Ye glanced at Mu Yi, then touched his neck with one hand and asked, "Isn't there a way not to hurt?" ”
"Nope." Mu Yi shook his head, and then asked the man to lead the horse and open two rooms.
"Go back to your room and rest first, and when you think about it, I'll be able to help you get it back at any time." Mu Yi smiled honestly.
It's really simple and rude, worthy of being a dart master, Xia Ye pouted and went back to the room first.
At night, Xia Ye couldn't sleep comfortably, his neck was stiff and painful, so Xia Ye had no choice but to get up and go to Mu Yi next door.
"Young darthead, have you slept?" Natsuba knocked on the door.
"Nope." In response, Mu Yi opened the door.
Mu Yi, who took off the dart master's clothes, had his hair scattered, so he looked really charming.
"What? Miss Ye figured it out? Do you want me to break it? ”
"Well, that's going to be a hassle for the darthead."
"No trouble, no trouble." Saying that, Mu Yi was going to help Xia Ye break his neck.
"Hey, wait a minute." Xia Ye hurriedly covered his neck and took two steps back: "You can't break it now." ”
Mu Yi stopped in mid-air just as he was about to break his hand, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter, Miss Yezi?" ”
"I'm afraid of pain, I want you to wait until I'm asleep before breaking." Xia Ye said cowardly.
"That's... All right. Mu Yi was stunned and said, "Then Miss Ye will go and rest, and leave the matter of breaking your neck to me." ”
"Then it's a problem to lose the darthead." Xia Ye smiled awkwardly, and then said in order to alleviate the embarrassment: "It's not that you can just call me Ye Zi in the future, don't always be a girl, it's awkward." ”
"You don't call me a darthead in the same way." Mu Yi lowered his head and seemed to be a little shy.
"That's... Mu Yi eldest son, I will go to rest. Natsuha waved his hand and went back to his room.
Mu Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, then whispered Ye Zi, and smirked against the door frame.
Back in the room, Xia Ye found an ink pen and wrote a letter to Dacao, asking her to monitor Empress Jiang's actions, secretly try not to let the queen poison the emperor, and notify her as soon as there is any situation.
In the middle of the night, a pig-killing howl sounded in Xia Ye's room, and then I saw a black shadow running out of Xia Ye's room and dodging into the next room.
"Mu Yi, you have suffered a thousand cuts, I haven't fallen asleep yet!" Xia Ye lay on the bed in a large font and cursed with a pale face.
However, long pain is better than short pain, and after being broken by Mu Yi like this, Xia Ye can sleep peacefully in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, Xia Ye asked people to send the letter, and then had breakfast with Mu Yi and continued on his way.
Probably because of last night's incident, Mu Yi always looked at Xia Ye embarrassedly.
But Natsuba is the kind of person who forgets about the past, and he doesn't pay attention to what happened last night at all.
Leaving the inn, Mu Yi continued to act as a groom and drove the carriage to protect Xia Ye on the road.
In the scorching summer, the pipes outside are green and green, and occasionally there are a few cries of insects and birds.
"Hey, Mu Yi, how long will it take for us to get to the Slippery Clan?"
"If nothing else, it will take at least three days to go straight through the pipeline." Mu Yi said with a smile.
"Three more days?" Xia Ye was a little anxious.
"We have just left the country of Pan, and we have to go through Tubo and Yiman to get to the Huadu, but it will take three days, and if we take the small road, I am afraid it will take five or six days to travel."
Hearing Mu Yi say this, Xia Ye felt a little more comforted, but it seemed that the pipeline was much faster.
"Yezi, I've always been curious about what your relationship is with my stepfather, why does my stepfather seem to care about you? And... This time, my father-in-law asked me to send you all the way to the Slippery Clan, as if he knew what danger you would have? ”
Mu Yi has always been very puzzled, he also asked his stepfather, but unfortunately his stepfather refused to tell him anything, only told him to protect Miss Ye Zi, but Mu Yi was really curious, so after thinking about it, he still asked.
"What? Didn't your stepfather tell you? Xia Ye asked rhetorically.
"If my stepfather had told me, I wouldn't have asked you again." Mu Yi pouted.
"I have a friend relationship with Mr. Murong Dart, to be precise, Mr. Murong Dart and my mother are friends, which can be said to be the relationship between the Shijiao family." Xia Ye said seriously.
"So that's the case, no wonder your father-in-law cares so much about you, it turns out that your father-in-law and your mother are world friends."
