Chapter 448 The Emperor Passes Away
There were a lot of jadeite ores in Shuiliandong, so Ling Chu stayed inside until noon the next day before coming out.
After absorbing about one-tenth of the emerald ore, the system can be restarted.
In order not to disturb Ling Chu, Ning Chuyi stayed outside the water curtain cave. Seeing her brisk steps and blushing face, he was in a good mood.
But his eyes fell on the red phoenix flower between Ling Chu's eyebrows, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Ling Chu has an exquisite appearance, and the flowers are also beautiful. Looking at the two separately, there is nothing special. But when put together, they seem to have a magical power that makes people reluctant to look away.
The system can be restarted. Ling Chu is indeed in a good mood. Seeing Ning Chuyi staring at her forehead intently, she is a little confused.
She raised her hand and touched it, "Why are you looking at me like this? Did I accidentally get something dirty on my forehead?"
Seeing that her forehead was red from rubbing, Ning Chuyi hurriedly pulled her hand down and said, "There is nothing dirty. This phoenix flower makes you look beautiful."
"Brother Ning, what are the phoenix flowers?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ling Chu was suddenly stunned.
How could she make such a heart-rending sound?
Somehow, as soon as Ning Chuyi touched her, her body became weak, and her tone of voice no longer sounded like her own.
When Ning Chuyi heard Brother Ning's voice, various scenes of Ling Chu in the cave and the warm soup pool immediately flashed in his mind.
Gazing across the unnatural look on Ling Chu's face, Ning Chuyi calmly suppressed the charming images in his mind.
He stretched out his arms, took her into his arms, lowered his head and took her red lips in his mouth.
He kissed Ling Chu until she was breathless before letting her go and saying in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, the charm poison on us has been cured."
Ling Chu took a deep breath, raised his head and glared at him.
Although Ning Chuyi's kiss made her body weak, the unbearable itching feeling on her body was gone. It seems that Meidu is indeed gone.
As for the changes on her body, they were probably the memories left by the poison in her body.
As long as she tries not to have contact with Ning Chuyi in the future, she will be able to return to normal over time.
Seeing her expression change, Ning Chuyi knew that she had probably figured it out.
"No matter how you change, my feelings for you will not change. When I return to the capital, I will go to King Dingyuan and the princess to propose marriage."
Ling Chu smiled and said nothing.
Xu was afraid that Ling Chu would never let him get close to her again, so Ning Chuyi couldn't wait to get married. "Let's go, it's time for us to return to Beijing."
Ling Chu raised his feet and followed him out. He was about to say that he didn't know where Commander Pang and Yin Sha were now.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out of Shuilian Cave, they saw a few of them gathered around a fire with a large group of monkeys, roasting the prey they had brought home.
Ever since they fell off the cliff, they lost contact with Yin Sha and the others.
Ning Chuyi wanted to find them, but the deep forest was so big that it was not easy to find them.
So Ning Chuyi came up with an idea. While Ling Chu was absorbing jade, he carved a portrait of Yin Sha on a big stone, and used roasted rabbits as bait, and asked the long-tailed monkeys to bring a large group of monkeys to help him. Find someone.
Unexpectedly, this method was really feasible. It only took two hours for the large group of monkeys to bring Yin Sha and the others over.
Seeing that Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi were safe and sound, Wei Feng and the others finally let go of their worries.
Led by the long-tailed monkey, the group finally walked out of the deep forest.
"Sir, shall we go back to Beijing directly?"
Three days have passed since they fell off the cliff, and I don't know what the emperor's situation is now.
Ning Chuyi glanced at everyone's clothes and said softly, "First find the nearest county to find out the news, and buy some luggage and dry food on the way, and then make plans."
Hearing Ning Chuyi's words, Wei Feng and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, in order to find Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu, they were searching everywhere in the deep forest like crazy. Their clothes had already been torn by branches.
They are all big men. Although they don't pay attention to what they wear, they can't hang around in front of the princess wearing tattered clothes.
The group of people asked Orion about the route and headed straight to the nearest county.
"I wonder what the girl wants, ready-made clothes or cloth?"
Entering a clothing store, a middle-aged couple was busy. As soon as the shopkeeper saw Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu, she immediately came over with a smile on her face.
Ling Chu smiled and saw two sets of plain clothes hanging on the wall, and motioned for her to take them down.
Ning Chuyi pointed to another set of concubines and said, "I want this one too."
Ling Chu was about to say that it was inconvenient to ride a horse while wearing an underskirt, but the shopkeeper's wife frowned and said with an unhappy face, "Young Master knows that these brightly colored clothes cannot be sold, so why would you deliberately embarrass me, a woman?"
Ning Chuyi frowned. He just wanted to buy a set of clothes, so why was he in trouble.
Ling Chu was also confused. They came to take care of the business of this clothing store. Normally, this woman should be happy.
"I wonder how this lady can say this?"
The shopkeeper's wife was very angry because the new batch of goods could not be sold. When he heard Ling Chu's question, he said with a long face, "Who doesn't know that Your Majesty..."
The woman was halfway through her words when she was stopped by the shopkeeper who hurried over and said, "You don't want your life. Are you allowed to yell these things?"
"Why can't I just say something that everyone in the world knows about?"
Seeing that the couple was about to quarrel, Yin Sha pulled out his long sword with a swish sound.
The shopkeeper and his wife both changed their expressions, no longer caring about the quarrel, and stepped back several steps in fear.
"What's wrong with the emperor?"
The two people who were arguing fiercely just now did not dare to say a word when they heard Ning Chuyi's words.
Wei Feng also drew his knife impatiently, "Why are you hesitating? What happened to the emperor? Why don't you tell me?"
"Dear guests, such a big thing has been spread all over the outside world. You really don't know?"
Seeing the shopkeeper and his wife looking at them suspiciously, Ling Chu smiled and explained, "We went into the mountains to hunt three days ago, but got lost. We just came out and don't know what happened. Please explain it to me."
The shopkeeper suddenly realized, "I was wondering why you were wearing such tattered clothes. It turned out that you got them from hunting. No wonder you didn't hear the news."
Perhaps because Ning Chuyi and the others looked unhappy, the shopkeeper was unsure of their attitude and could only say cautiously, "The emperor... died."
"What did you say?"
Not only did Commander Pang and the others change their expressions, but even Ning Chuyi's face sank.
"Do you really mean what the shopkeeper said?"
Ning Chuyi's face was so scary that the shopkeeper's legs were shaking. "Yes... it's true. The court has announced it to the world. The county government has also posted a notice prohibiting all banquets and weddings..."
