The Eldest Daughter Returns: Imperial Uncle, I'm Pregnant!

Xiao Jingchen and Gu Qingwan also knew about this matter. They didn't understand what A Ning was trying to do, and Zheng Yang, who was rescued, clearly had a more complicated identity.

"If we don't know, we don't know. We'll find out what they're up to when they make other moves. As for Aning, she just still has feelings for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchen frowned. "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then. If I had just killed him with one palm, none of what happened afterward would have happened."

Gu Qingwan didn't know what to say. If she said it was because of Aning's brother, that would be completely unnecessary. So, Xiao Jingchen's ability to go this far only shows that he is a person who cares a lot about his subordinates.

“Ah Ning is prone to becoming paranoid. I always felt there was something wrong with her. Siqi said her voice had changed, and her martial arts skills had recovered in a short time. Even Siqi couldn't defeat her, which shows that she had other opportunities.”

Gu Qingwan said worriedly, "You must be careful on your way to the southern border. Also... I'm not afraid you'll be upset if I say this. And if you bring Xiao Jia with you, you must be careful. I'm afraid he'll be soft-hearted towards Aning."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on with Xiao Jia. If you're really worried, then I'll leave Xiao Jia in the manor."

Gu Qingwan shook her head and said, "No, Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi are the people who follow you around. They are also quite familiar with the Southern Frontier. I would be worried if they weren't by your side."

"I've packed everything for you, and prepared all the medicine. There are also three copies of these bottles of medicine. You take one copy for yourself, Xiao Yi takes one copy, and have a trusted subordinate take the other copy, just in case. This medicine can cure all poisons except for the most potent ones. Even if you encounter a troublesome poison, it's okay. Taking this medicine will buy you some time. Be sure to write to me when the time comes."

"I've kept everything you said in mind."

"Don't be so dismissive. I'm telling the truth. This medicine can even cure internal injuries. It took me a lot of effort. There are many people in the martial arts world who want this medicine. If they knew that Prince Chu was carrying so much of it, do you believe they would hunt you down?"

Xiao Jingchen looked at the person in his arms speechlessly. They were about to part ways, so why couldn't this person say something to make him happy?

"okay, I get it."

There's no way around it, you have to pamper your own woman.

"I will make sure they keep this a secret. There are a lot of poisons and Gu worms in the southern border region, so these treasures of yours are lifesavers."

Gu Qingwan suddenly thought of something, and she took out a small bell from the cabinet.

"Wear this on your body."

"What's the point of me, a grown man, wearing a bell?"

"Don't underestimate this bell; there's a Gu King inside it."

"The Gu King!" Xiao Jingchen stared in shock at the small bell-shaped flower in Gu Qingwan's hand.

"I obtained this Gu King by accident, and it was quite funny when I told you about it." Gu Qingwan shook the bell, and the little thing inside was still fast asleep.

She had been to southern Xinjiang, but only to collect some precious medicinal herbs.

Those medicines all grew in the Lingnan region of southern Xinjiang, a place overgrown with trees and filled with miasma and swamps. It took her a lot of effort; if she hadn't been so well prepared, she might have perished there as well.

"What are you going there for? It's so dangerous," Xiao Jingchen said disapprovingly.

"I went there for a flower called the Seven-Colored Flower. That flower can cure seven kinds of poison. I have already managed to transplant the flower to Medicine King Valley. Moreover, I had a great harvest that time. I also got a lot of things like Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, and blood-drop fruit. What is even more precious is this little thing in my hand."

At that time, it was undergoing transformation, that is, it was transforming from a regular insect into its current form. However, the transformation was very difficult. If it hadn't been for Gu Qingwan's timely encounter and the fact that Gu Qingwan had wrapped it in Tianshan snow lotus and nurtured it in Tianshan snow water, the Gu King would probably have withered away.

From then on, the little creature followed her everywhere she went.

"If you wear it, it will be able to sense the Gu worms and Gu poisons from the Southern Frontier. It is relatively easy to take care of and is usually asleep. If it wakes up, you can feed it the pills I gave you. It is not picky about food and sometimes it likes to eat human food."

Xiao Jingchen picked up the bell from her hand and looked at it.

It looks like a bell, but it is actually carved from a piece of jade, which feels a little cold to the touch.

"Is this cold jade?"

"Yes, this is a piece of cold jade that I finally found on the Kunlun Mountains. I had a skilled craftsman carve it into a hollow sphere. This little thing prefers to stay in cold places."

"Can't stand the heat?"

"No, it can tolerate both hot and cold temperatures, but it prefers cold weather the most."

"That's really strange. The southern border is so hot and humid, yet the Gu King, who was born and raised there, prefers the cold and is afraid of the heat."

Gu Qingwan was also somewhat helpless. She had discovered the little thing's characteristics by accident. If she hadn't happened to be carrying that piece of cold jade, the little thing probably wouldn't have come looking for her.

Xiao Jingchen looked closely inside and saw a small, fleshy ball rolled up inside. It made a sound like a bell, probably because its outer shell was quite hard.

"Was it kept locked up inside the whole time? How did it get food?"

"No, this ball has a small door that can be opened from the outside or the inside. If it wakes up, it will come out by itself. Normally, it just sleeps, but it will get excited if it comes into contact with poison or worms."

As she spoke, Gu Qingwan took out a small bottle from the side. She opened the lid, and after a while, there was movement inside. The small ball opened up in two, and a small, golden creature with transparent golden wings flew out.

Xiao Jingchen found that the little thing was actually quite cute, a bit like a miniature kitten, but not quite cat-like. From a distance, it looked like a small golden flying insect.

It picked up the small bottle that Gu Qingwan had just brought and started drinking from it.

"What's in here?"

"The poison is the seven-fold poison I told you about."

Xiao Jingchen was speechless. Sure enough, the things his princess raised couldn't be viewed with normal eyes.

"It's quite small, but it's very useful. With it, I can find you no matter where you are."

They were able to leave Lingnan because of it.
