A few days later, a big ship was sailing on the surging sea towards Fang Qi in the southeast.
Xiahou Yi sat in a wheelchair on the deck and looked at the sky and sea with a leisurely expression.
“My lord.”
Qing’er came behind him and cupped her hands.
Xiahou Yi asked, “Is she not fooling around anymore?”
Qing’er sighed. “She’s still causing trouble. It’s useless no matter how I threaten her. She’s so noisy. I can only light another incense for her.”
Xiahou Yi said, “You did well.”
Qing’er was stunned for a moment before smiling. “My lord has foresight and knows that the Hundred Flowers Palace will capture and lock me up. In order to lure me to contact my lord, they deliberately didn’t lock the cell door. I didn’t leave no matter what!”
“You may leave.”
Xiahou Yi said.
“Yes, my lord!”
Qing’er returned to her room.
As soon as she closed the door, the smile on her face disappeared.
She pressed her ear to the door and listened carefully. After confirming that no one was spying on her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Come out.”
She whispered.
Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the lid and walked out of the box. “How’s Hui An?”
Qing’er sat on the bed and said angrily, “How else can she be? You won’t let me tell her that you’re on the ship.”
Su Xiaoxiao said with a complicated expression, “It’s for her own good if I don’t tell her. If her reaction is more realistic, she can gain Xiahou Yi’s trust.”
“You won’t be able to escape,” Qing’er said.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s not your fault if I can’t escape.”
Qing’er glared at her. “But if you’re discovered, you’ll get me killed!”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Speak louder.”
Qing’er hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered bitterly, “Don’t forget what you promised me!”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “Don’t worry, a gentleman never goes back on his word.”
Su Xiaoxiao had her own plans.
However, sometimes, plans could not keep up with changes.
Princess Hui An was sick. Her body was covered in rashes and she coughed non-stop.
There were no physicians on the boat.
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to sneak into Qing’er’s room to treat her.
In her daze, Princess Hui An saw a blurry and familiar figure. She said in a hoarse voice, “Little sidekick…”
“Shh—”
Su Xiaoxiao pressed her index finger on her dry lips.
The touch under her fingertips made Su Xiaoxiao’s heart tighten.
Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze landed on this haggard face and she suddenly realized that Huahua had experienced a lot in the past two years.
She was no longer the innocent and willful princess who did not even care about jumping off the city tower.
She had learned to endure, to be strong, and to protect others.
If she hadn’t been brave and smart that night, the three children would have been taken away.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes were a little wet.
She lowered her head and gently touched Princess Hui An’s forehead. “Huahua, don’t sleep yet. Take the medicine before sleeping.”
Princess Hui An’s consciousness was blurry. “Yes… but I… am really… so sleepy…”
Su Xiaoxiao stroked her cheek. “Huahua, you can survive. I haven’t caught Su Xuan to be your husband.”
Princess Hui An’s voice was weak. “Su Xuan…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Yes, Su Xuan, can he be your husband? Can you be my fourth cousin-in-law?”
Princess Hui An replied “Okay…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then don’t sleep.”
Princess Hui An said, “Huahua… won’t sleep…”
Su Xiaoxiao hugged her like she was her child.
A moment later, Princess Hui An cried weakly and aggrievedly. “Little sidekick… I… miss my mother so much…”
After finally feeding Princess Hui An the medicine, something happened to the Slave Killer again.
That’s right. Xiahou Yi not only brought Princess Hui An as a hostage, but also the Slave Killer.
Su Xiaoxiao was no stranger to this. Back then, Xiahou Yi had treated Wei Chen, Wei Qing, and Wei Yan like this.
Xiahou Yi had no humanity in him, only ambition.
Under Qing’er’s cover, Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the cabin where the Slave Killer was imprisoned.
This room was much narrower. Fortunately, only the Slave Killer was locked up there.
As the Slave Killer curled up on the dirty floor, his breathing was weak.
He had suffered too much abuse and had lost a lot of blood. Coupled with the fact that he seemed to be a little seasick, his injuries did not improve.
Su Xiaoxiao used all the medicine she could use, but at this point, to be honest, Slave Killer could only depend on himself.
Su Xiaoxiao went back and forth between Slave Killer and Princess Hui An for the entire night. Finally, at dawn, she was caught.
“My lord is waiting for you on the deck.”
The guard said.
Su Xiaoxiao went onto the deck with him with a cold expression.
