The night wind is strong and the cold wind is howling, and the bare branches on both sides of the road are casting mottled shadows.

Zhao Zhenglin and his guards were born in military origins, and walking in the wind at night was nothing. He held the reins with one hand and held the person in his arms tightly with the other hand. He rode very quickly, and the black cloak roared in the wind.

Liu Mingxi was tightly protected by him. Through several layers of thin fabric, she could still clearly feel his body temperature and powerful heartbeat. She looked up at him from time to time.

Zhao Zhenglin’s eyes drooped slightly, and the cold moonlight set off his jade-like face, and he seemed a little angry.

Thinking of the reason why he was angry, she became nervous for no reason. She pulled back her wrist that had been tightly held by him, but was still firmly clamped by him. He was really angry with her, but why?

Liu Mingxi saw that he had a cold face, a tall figure, and an inexplicable sense of oppression all over his body, as if he was as tall as a god.

Now she is in close contact with this evil god, and the cold breath from his body is lingering on her nose. Unconsciously, it disturbed her thoughts again. She panicked and opened her eyes and stopped looking at him.

At midnight, a group of more than thirty people stopped outside a remote small manor located halfway up the mountain.

Before he could give orders, a staff member of Zhao Zhenglin had already turned over and dismounted, and trotted forward and knocked on the door.

After meeting the code, the door was opened quickly and they were respectfully welcomed into the manor.

As soon as Zhao Zhenglin appeared, they knelt down on one knee in the garden to salute, “See Master!”

Obviously this is another stronghold for Zhao Zhenglin

The legendary cunning rabbit has three holes. While they were looking at each other intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Mingxi, the outsider, had to tactfully look away

“Take her to the house to rest.” Zhao Zhenglin ordered coldly.

Liu Mingxi thought that he would not be kind enough to send her to the Fang family caravan, but he did not expect that she would be taken directly to the backyard.

Thinking of Jinfeng’s poison, she was anxious, “Lord Jinfeng was poisoned, the strange poison of Wuhu City in the Western Regions, and she was drunk and dreamed of death.”

Zhao Zhenglin was slightly stunned when he heard this. Then he thought that Liu Mingxi had been with Du Ming for two years and had some medical and pharmacological knowledge. This is not surprising. But he subconsciously thought that she was explaining to himself what happened to her and Jinfeng in the cell, and his face cleared a little.

As for other content, he didn’t care at all. Of course, professional matters such as detoxification must be left to professionals. He never asked himself to be versatile, and it was his duty to collect strange people from all walks of life for my use.

There is no need for a three-legged cat like her to point fingers at all when detoxification.

Zhao ZhengLin said lightly, this was the kindest response he could think of.

More than ten guards came forward and wanted to send her to rest. Liu Mingxi looked at him in despair, but the other party didn’t even give her a look.

His guards have always been cold to her. Even if they are unwilling to accept it, she has to “rest”.

Liu Mingxi naturally lives in the main house of this village.

Although Zhao Zhenglin is a prince, he is a man who has been marching and fighting all year round, and his requirements for life are really not high.

Take this room as an example. The so-called main house looks a little spacious. In fact, the furnishings here are extremely simple, with white walls on all sides, and there are very few things in the house.

There was only one bed, one case, one chair in the room, and a large screen in the corner of the house, which was exactly the same as the room she lived in Prince Cheng’s mansion. Maybe he really thought that this was enough, not intentionally trying to treat her harshly.

There are no maids here, none of them. Otherwise he would not have allowed a group of young guards to carry the prepared bath soup into the house. Their reaction when they saw Liu Mingxi seemed to be even more surprised than her.

With just a quick glance, the guards hurriedly bowed and retreated respectfully, not even daring to look at her.

In a blink of an eye, she was the only one left in the empty room. The hot air was filled with mist behind the screen, and there was a faint smell of fresh herbs. She smells like Salvia miltiorrhiza and tea. In short, the fragrance is pleasant and has the functions of promoting blood circulation and calming the mind.

She was surprised to find that Zhao Zhenglin also knew some health preservation methods, and I think he was also a little familiar with medical theory and pharmacology.

Liu Mingxi immersed himself comfortably in the bath soup, and was still a little nervous. Whenever she gets along with him, she will find something new. It turns out that she knows so little about Zhao Zhenglin.

Thinking of the statement they made public when they left the mansion this morning that she was ignorant of the importance of the matter, and was “reprimanded” by King Cheng and sent to the village in the suburbs of Beijing to “reflect”. As a result, at night, she really came to such a remote village.
