Chapter 260

That night.

Qiao Nian lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She knew that Ningshuang might not be able to see the hint of "outside the capital", but she would definitely understand that there was something wrong with the advice to water more.

She also knew that if Ningshuang didn't understand, she would definitely go to Xiao He, and Xiao He would definitely be able to see the hint about outside the capital.

However, she didn't know whether she was outside the capital.

After all, she had been locked up in the mansion and was not allowed to go out.

The servants in the mansion would not mention it either, and everything was just her guess.

She passed by the high walls of the mansion several times and didn't hear any sound outside, so she thought that the location of this mansion must be remote.

In addition, she didn't sleep all night that day, but in the early morning, she smelled an extremely clear and strong water vapor.

So she thought that there must be water nearby.

Whether it was a river or a spring, there must be water.

Although I didn't know whether my hint was correct, there was still hope.

I hope...she can leave this place as soon as possible.

The next day.

Xiao Heng left early in the morning.

Although he moved all military affairs here, he still needed to go to the palace to attend court every day.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Heng was stopped on the way to court.

It was Lin Ye.

"Xiao Heng! Hand over my sister!" Lin Ye sat on a tall horse, his eyes stained with anger.

His face was a little haggard, and there were even a lot of stubble on his chin.

These days, he was exhausted physically and mentally in order to find Qiao Nian.

If his men were looking for some low-class thieves, they would definitely be quick.

But when it came to looking for Qiao Nian, those people became like waste, and there was no clue at all in the past few days.

The only clue was that the person was captured by Xiao Heng.

Otherwise, the one who was looking for someone on the street now should not be him, but Xiao Heng!

Looking at Lin Ye, Xiao Heng's eyebrows also sank, but there was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, "Isn't your sister recuperating in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Lin Ye paused, and his anger became even stronger, "Stop talking nonsense! You know that Nian Nian doesn't like you anymore, why do you keep pestering her?"

Xiao Heng snorted coldly, "Whether she likes me or not, you don't have the final say."

Lin Ye knew Xiao Heng's bad temper, and he would definitely not let her go just because of his words.

He immediately drew out the long sword at his waist and attacked Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng had been prepared, but did not draw his sword to resist.

Lin Ye's kung fu was not as good as his. If he drew his sword, Lin Ye would be injured.

But Lin Ye wanted to force him to draw his sword. Only by letting Xiao Heng hurt him could he force Xiao Heng to tell the whereabouts of Qiao Nian based on their friendship over the past ten years.

So, his men's moves became more and more fierce.

But Xiao Heng never had the intention of drawing his sword.

Finally, the long sword passed through Xiao Heng's left arm, leaving a long blood mark. Lin Ye was startled and hurriedly put away the sword.

Xiao Heng covered the wound on his left arm with his right hand, his brows slightly sank, and he looked at Lin Ye with cold eyes, "Are you satisfied, young marquis?"

Lin Ye became more and more angry, "Xiao Heng, are you crazy? Would you rather die under my sword than let Nian Nian go?"

Hearing this, Xiao Heng was slightly stunned.

Would he rather die than let her go?

He didn't know.

He only knew that at this moment, he would not let go.

At the moment, he did not answer, but said coldly, "If the young marquis is satisfied, please get out of the way, I will go to the palace to see the emperor."

Lin Ye held the long sword tightly in his hand.

The blood on the sword was still dripping slowly.

He didn't want to give in, but he knew that he couldn't get Nian Nian's whereabouts from Xiao Heng's mouth today.

After thinking again and again, he could only slowly make way.

Xiao Heng then got back on his horse and headed for the palace.

But when he passed by Lin Ye, he heard him whisper, "Have you ever thought that doing this will only make Nian Nian hate you more?"

Xiao Heng's body suddenly stiffened, but he never stopped.

Didn't he think about it?

Of course he did.

But he had no choice.

He couldn't do it, watching her love another person.

After simply bandaging his left arm, Xiao Heng went to court.

The emperor naturally saw it at a glance, his face was extremely ugly, and he didn't say anything in the court, but kept him after the court.

In the huge hall, Xiao Heng knelt on one knee in front of the hall.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, lowered his eyes and looked at him, his voice was low and stained with anger, "What are you making a fuss about? For a woman, do you want to make a big fuss?"

Xiao Heng's eyebrows were gloomy, and he didn't respond.

The emperor glared at him, "Why? Do you have to have her?"

Xiao Heng spoke this time.

"Yes, I only want her!"

"But you didn't say that at the beginning!" The emperor shouted coldly, "Do you still remember that in this hall, I said that you would regret it sooner or later, what did you say?"

Xiao Heng was silent and did not answer.

Just like before, he did not answer.

It was just that time that he felt that he would not regret it. Everything was his choice. How could he regret it?

But, until he saw Qiao Nian standing intimately with his elder brother and saw that his elder brother's eyes were gradually filled with love.

Xiao Heng realized that he was not as open-minded as he thought.

He used to think that he didn't have to have her.

But he didn't know until he lost her that she was his medicine. Without her, he would lose his mind, go crazy, and...can't live.

He regretted it.

Really regretted it.

He regretted every decision he had made, not standing firmly on her side!

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng finally admitted, "I regret it."

The emperor was stunned. When did he want his answer?

He just wanted Xiao Heng to be more sober and not to be confused for a woman!

But looking at Xiao Heng's stubborn face and that extremely affirmative tone, the emperor's words of persuasion were at a loss.

After a long while, the emperor just sighed slightly, "But Xiao Heng, there is no regret medicine in this world."

The previous decision was made.

Xiao Heng's kneeling body was stiff because of the emperor's words.

His eyes were drooping, looking at the ground in front of him. In his mind, all he could think of was how Qiao Nian used to be by his side and pester him.

So, a layer of tenderness returned to his eyes, but the aura around him became more sinister.

"Yes."

The emperor thought he had heard wrongly, "What did you say?"

Xiao Heng spoke slowly, his cold voice seemed to carry a hint of excitement, "Others can't find the regret medicine because they are not capable enough. But I will definitely find it! I will definitely find the regret medicine even if it is the eighteen levels of hell!"

He will definitely make Qiao Nian fall in love with him again!

At this moment, the emperor was also shocked by Xiao Heng's stubbornness.

He opened his lips slightly, as if he was about to say something, but in the end, he just waved his hand, "Forget it, you can leave!"

He knew that Xiao Heng would not listen to anyone now...
