A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

Xia Taoyuan kept walking, and kept walking. It was clear that her home was not far ahead, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not reach her home. It was as if there was a barrier blocking her. The home she longed for was within reach, but she could not touch it no matter what.

Xia Taoyuan was very anxious, but she also felt a deep sense of powerlessness. She just wanted to go home, but why was it so difficult? She anxiously called for her grandparents, but suddenly remembered that they were gone. She couldn't hold it in any longer and knelt on the ground crying.

"Taotao! Taotao! Wake up!" Chu Xingluo called out anxiously. He saw the expression on Xia Taoyuan's face change from calm at the beginning to extreme pain now. He thought Xia Taoyuan was in pain because of the wound.

Seeing her like this, Chu Xingluo felt distressed. He was about to call Doctor Zhuang, but he saw tears welling up in Xia Taoyuan's eyes, followed by a cry of "Ah!" Xia Taoyuan opened her eyes.

Chu Xingluo was surprised and happy, and asked in a trembling voice: "Taotao, are you awake?"

Xia Taoyuan was still immersed in the scene just now, until she felt pain in her shoulder. She frowned, looked up and saw the person in front of her, then she realized that she had just dreamed, but it was so real.

She calmed down, tried to force out a smile, and called out "Lolo." The voice was so weak that Chu Xingluo put his ear close to her mouth to hear that she was calling him.

Chu Xingluo almost shed tears, he finally woke up, his Taotao finally woke up.

"Don't talk." He brought a glass of water, gently lifted up Xia Taoyuan's upper body, and fed her. He supported Xia Taoyuan with his body, and carefully hugged her with both hands. He hadn't hugged her for a long time.

Xia Taoyuan said weakly, "Put me down." She really didn't have any strength left.

Chu Xingluo put her down, covered her with a blanket, and walked to the door. Fengwu and Yingge were standing by the door. Chu Xingluo asked Yingge to heat up the soup that he had made in the evening.

"The princess is awake?" Yingge asked happily.

Chu Xingluo nodded, and Yingge happily turned around and ran to the kitchen. It was already midnight, and Chu Xingluo said to Fengwu, "After Yingge heats up the ginseng soup, you can go and rest."

Feng Wu didn't say anything. How could she leave? Her mission in Lion City was to ensure Prince Jing's safety.

Not long after, Yingge came over with a bowl of ginseng soup. She put it on the table and whispered, "Your Highness, wait until it's not too hot. I'll feed the princess. You go and have a rest. You haven't closed your eyes for two days."

"I'll feed her! Wake up Qingyun Longyan, you and Fengwu go and rest." Chu Xingluo said.

Yingge didn't insist any longer and walked silently to the door and continued to guard with Fengwu.

Qi Nanfeng saw Yingge happily running to the kitchen from the window, and saw Yingge bringing soup to Chu Xingluo's room. He guessed that Xia Taoyuan had woken up. He wanted to go see her, but reason told him that it was late at night, so he should hold back and go after daybreak.

Then he felt bitter again. Once he saw her, he would have to leave. He would have no excuse to stay any longer.

Qi Nanfeng turned around and sat on the chair, his eyes shining brightly in the dark room.

"Come, drink some soup." Chu Xingluo gently helped Xia Taoyuan up, let her lean on him and fed her.

Xia Taoyuan couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so she drank a few sips and lay down again. Her shoulder was burning with pain, and any movement made her whole body uncomfortable.

"What time is it?" Xia Taoyuan's voice was still weak, but better than before.

"It's almost ugly hour."

"Look at your dark circles. Lie down and take a nap!" Xia Taoyuan understood that Chu Xingluo had been watching over her without closing his eyes.

"Okay!" Chu Xingluo put down the bowl and lay down beside her. Perhaps he finally relaxed, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when Xia Taoyuan woke up, he felt much better and could sit up by himself.

She wanted to get out of bed and take a walk, but at this moment Chu Xingluo came in from outside, followed by Qi Nanfeng.

Xia Taoyuan was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qi Nanfeng sat on the chair with a smile on his face and said, "Why, can't I come?"

"Zhiying, it was Master Qi who saved you. It was the antidote that Master Qi brought that cured the poison in you." Chu Xingluo said.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not grateful, and it would be a lie to say that I'm not touched. Xia Taoyuan sniffed and said, "You saved me again, and I owe you another favor."

"It's just a small favor, don't take it to heart." Qi Nanfeng said with a smile. If Chu Xingluo was not still there, what he wanted to say was, how are you going to pay me back?

After listening to what happened after he was assassinated, Xia Taoyuan was glad that he came to Lion City and blocked an arrow for Chu Xingluo. If the arrow had hit Chu Xingluo, especially in the heart, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After talking for a while, Qi Nanfeng stood up and said, "Now that the princess is fine, I will go back." Although he said so, how could he bear to leave? He didn't know when they would meet again. He looked at Xia Taoyuan, with a look of expectation, sadness, heartache, and a touch of tenderness that could not be dissolved.

Seeing the complex emotions in his eyes, Xia Taoyuan's heart tightened and she immediately looked away. She looked at Chu Xingluo, but Chu Xingluo was looking at her and did not notice the change in Qi Nanfeng's eyes.

Xia Taoyuan lowered her head and said nothing. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, Qi Nanfeng would over-interpret it. This person was never serious, so she chose to keep silent. In fact, she knew in her heart that Qi Nanfeng was already a very important existence in her life, but she could only bury these in her heart and could not tell anyone, let alone Qi Nanfeng, otherwise he would take advantage of her.

Qi Nanfeng pretended to look at Xia Taoyuan casually again, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Princess, take care of yourself in the future!" After a pause, he actually wanted to say, don't forget me, but because of Chu Xingluo, he didn't say it in the end.

"Brother Chu, let's say goodbye now. We'll meet again if we're lucky enough in the future!" Qi Nanfeng said to Chu Xingluo. This was the first time he called him Brother Chu instead of His Highness.

Chu Xingluo said: "Brother Qi's kindness will never be forgotten. See you later!"

Qi Nanfeng turned to Xia Taoyuan, took a deep look at her, and walked out. Chu Xingluo followed him out. When the two of them left, Xia Taoyuan couldn't help crying. The grudge between her and Qi Nanfeng was so complicated that it was hard to tell who owed whom. It would be better for them to just part ways and never see each other again!

Chu Xingluo was about to be sent out of the yard but was stopped by Heilong. Fearing another accident, Heilong was extremely cautious. Before Chu Xingluo came out of the house, he and Queying checked every corner of the yard.

Qi Nanfeng also advised him to stay. Long Yan led the horse over. Qi Nanfeng got on the horse and walked out about ten meters away. Suddenly he turned around and came back. When he arrived in front of Chu Xingluo, he wanted to say something but stopped. Seeing this, Long Yan signaled Heilong and Queying to stand further away.

"Treat her well! Don't let her suffer any grievances, otherwise I will take her away!" Qi Nanfeng's voice was filled with infinite regret and sadness. He left without waiting for Chu Xingluo to answer.

Chu Xingluo was stunned for a long time as he watched his back go away. He had long seen Qi Nanfeng's feelings for Xia Taoyuan, but he didn't expect that he would finally say it out loud. It was not until Long Yan urged him that he came to his senses and returned to the house.
