Chapter 249 Slight Relief
After staying in Master Mu's tent for a while, Ye Jintang heard her say that she felt sore all over after a day's journey.
Master Mu was so tired even after riding in the carriage all the way, so those who were driving the carriages or riding horses must be even more tired.
So she took out some fruits produced in the space and distributed them to everyone.
They had been traveling quite fast in the afternoon, so eating some good fruits could help relieve their fatigue.
Don't rush the journey and end up with a lot of people falling sick within a few days, otherwise it would not be worth it.
Xiao Mo was a thoughtful man. He came to the campfire and found Ye Jintang, who was watching the fruit distribution, and said that his legs hurt in the afternoon and asked her to help him.
Ye Jintang, who had always been extremely cold to him, finally looked him in the eye.
"Did he fall into the river this afternoon and get irritated by the water? No way. The water temperature was OK when I was taking a shower, not cold."
As soon as Ye Jintang said this, she wanted to bite off her tongue. It turned out that as long as she was involved with Xiao Mo, her mind would be abnormal. Why did she mention taking a bath?
I took Xiao Mo's pulse and found nothing unusual. I touched the place where the silver needle was originally placed and found that it was a little hot.
"I'll put some medicated oil on you and see if that can provide some relief."
Ye Jintang took out the safflower oil he prepared himself, which he added spring water to, but he didn't know if it would be effective.
Safflower oil with a strong medicinal smell was applied on Xiao Mo's legs, and Ye Jintang rubbed them gently in circles with his palms.
"How's my strength? Does it hurt?"
"Fortunately."
Xiao Mo looked at Ye Jintang's white hands and felt a little distracted.
"Then I'll increase the intensity. Tell me if it hurts."
Ye Jintang increased his strength and quickly heated up the safflower oil. The pain in Xiao Mo's leg disappeared instantly, replaced by a burning sensation.
It was like roasting his legs on fire, and soon he was sweating all over.
"How are you now? Are you still feeling any pain?"
"much better."
"Jintang, are you hot? Sitting by the campfire in the hot summer, I'm almost roasted."
Only then did Ye Jintang realize that there were only two of them sitting by the campfire. The others had already gone to a cooler place to eat fruits and enjoy the cool air.
"I'll push you to sit by the river for a while."
Two people sat side by side on a tree trunk by the stream and ate peaches.
As the evening breeze blew, Ye Jintang took a bite of the juicy peach in his hand and asked casually, "Do you think Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has discovered that her treasury has been emptied?"
"It's hard to say. If she put money into the vault today, she would definitely find out. If no one has gone, we may have to wait for a long time."
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui did not put silver into the treasury at a regular time. Sometimes she put it in once a month, sometimes twice, and the intervals between them were irregular. It really depended on Imperial Noble Consort Dehui's luck as to when the money would be discovered.
"No matter when Imperial Concubine Dehui discovers that the vault has been stolen, we must hurry on. If we reach Quyang Prefecture first, we will be at least halfway safe."
"I don't quite understand what your Highness means. Will Imperial Noble Consort Dehui not send someone to assassinate us when we get to Quyang Prefecture?"
"If it's closer to the capital, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui will have more people at her disposal, but if it's in Quyang Prefecture, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would be lucky if she could send 4 to 50 people at a time."
"No matter how powerful she is, she won't dare to send too many people to intercept us halfway."
"I see. Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is just too cautious. If it were me, I wouldn't think so much and would just nip this potential danger in the bud first."
As he spoke, Ye Jintang gave Xiao Mo a fierce look. Xiao Mo smiled helplessly. His wife really held a grudge and she still hasn't gotten over it.
"Noble Consort Dehui is in a high position, with countless eyes watching her. How could she do whatever she wants like you?"
The two of them ate peaches and chatted, and Ye Jintang was no longer so averse to Xiao Mo's intimacy.
Everyone was very tired after a day's journey. Not long after dinner, everyone returned to their tents to rest.
The two didn't chat for too long, and Ye Jintang got up and returned to the camp to sleep.
When she saw Luzhu standing anxiously in front of the golden-top tent, she remembered that she had forgotten to tell Luzhu to set up another tent for her.
"The prince told me to put the queen's belongings in the king's tent, servant, servant."
Luzhu hesitated like a little quail who had done something wrong. She looked at Ye Jintang and then at Xiao Mo, not knowing what to say.
"Luzhu, do you remember who your master is?"
"Your Majesty is the master of this servant."
"You should also know how I get along with the prince on weekdays."
"I know. I have asked someone to set up another tent for you. If you don't want to rest in the king's tent, I will take your belongings away now."
Ye Jintang, who was a little disappointed with Lu Zhu's behavior just now, instantly broke into a big smile when he heard her say this.
She thought to herself that she had not misjudged the person. Luzhu was a little timid, but she was absolutely loyal to her, and even Xiao Mo could not influence her.
"Very good, what are you still standing there for?"
Luzhu immediately understood what Ye Jintang meant and turned around to go to the king's tent to get something.
"and many more."
Xiao Mo glanced at Ye Jintang with resentment, and said in a gentle voice, "It's not appropriate for us to live separately. If people get the news out, they will think that we are not in a good relationship."
"Let's live in the same tent so we can take care of each other."
According to Xiao Mo's idea, since they are husband and wife and have a mutual understanding, there is no problem for them to live in the same tent.
But even a rational person like Ye Jintang could not trust a man's mouth. What if a gun went off accidentally? She was young and could not rush into some things.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am used to living alone and don't like having someone sleep next to me."
"Besides, we have already left the capital, so we don't have to worry about anyone watching us. Imperial Noble Consort Dehui's spies won't be among our people."
"As for the people in the team, I believe no one will say anything about whether the prince and princess live in the same tent."
Ever since the attack on the Prince of Qin's Mansion, in addition to pulling out all the nails, the Prince of Qin's Mansion also dismissed a lot of slaves. The people who remained were carefully screened by Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo, so they naturally would not talk nonsense.
Ye Jintang smiled brightly at Xiao Mo.
From today on, the two of them no longer have to pretend to be in love, and they no longer have to force themselves to sleep in the same room.
Thinking of this, she felt the air was filled with the scent of freedom, which made her feel very happy.
Luzhu glanced at the smiling Ye Jintang and immediately turned around and went into the tent. Lianqiao and Liuli, who had been watching from a distance, also ran over to help.
In just a stick of incense, Ye Jintang moved all his belongings to another tent.
"Your Majesty, I'm tired and I'm going to go back and rest. Excuse me."
Seeing Xiao Mo's disappointed face, Ye Jintang left with a smile.
Xiao Mo thought to himself that he would let Ye Jintang sleep alone for one night first. After a few days when she had completely calmed down, he would find a way to move into her tent and sleep.
