"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 39

 Behind her laid a man covered in dust and dyed with blood, hair hanging in a mess, a lot of rice straws stuck in it, his face was painted black by the soil, his actual features could not be seen, only a pair of shining black eyes held passion and an imploring look, the sense of a drowning person having grabbed the last straw.


Mo Xiang calmed down, it's good that it was a person, she could only blame the piece of land having been given the title "ghost land", she became overly suspicious.


The man on the ground used all his strength to look up, looking at the two delicate and pretty women standing in front of him, with his action, the blood from his head once again began gushing out, flowing down his forehead, he however had become numb from the pain, hoarsely he said: "Help...help me..."


Mo Xiang turned her head to look at Ji Ling Xue for help: "Mistress..." This man was seriously injured, he seems to be at his last breath, such a shame, it was no big deal to help him, but we're in such a remote location, and if they happened to help someone they shouldn't help, they would attract trouble.


Ji Ling Xue said: "Take a look at his injuries."


Mo Xiang nodded, immediately squatting down to take that man's pulse, afterwards she also examined the condition of his injuries she said: "Mistress, his injuries are minor, the most fatal thing is the slow acting poison he has been given, his life won't last long."


Ji Ling Xue said oh, "So he's been given a slow acting poison just like me, it seems his identity isn't that simple...do your best to save him."


Mo Xiang nodded, "Fine." Having spoken she took out the silver needles she carried with her and began to stick them in him.


The drawing room of Ji residence, for Xiao Yi Chen to suddenly come, Ji Bai Chuan expressed he was overwhelmed by favour from a superior, he politely welcomed him to take a seat in the drawing room, choosing a first rate tea to serve him, waiting for Xiao Yi Chen to tell him why he had personally come. 


Xiao Yi Chen also kept his composure, tasting the tea, he spoke of insignificant topics, from today's weather to the clothes he was wearing, he still didn't speak of the main reason.


Finally it was Ji Bai Chuan who couldn't tolerate it anymore asking, "Prince's visit today, is for what reason?"


Xiao Yi Chen nodded, putting the tea cup down he said, "Today this prince entered the palace to pay his respects to imperial grandmother, grandmother mentioned it was August fifteenth in a few days time, she wanted this prince to bring Ji Ling Xue into the palace to participate in the banquet, she's been staying at the Ji residence these last two days, father-in-law has been troubled, today this prince is here to take her back."

Ji Bai Chuan hurriedly nodded, he couldn't help praise himself for his own brilliance, fortunately he didn't listen to his wife and drove her out of the residence, otherwise he really couldn't explain himself.


Ji Bai Chuan immediately sent a maid to get Ji Ling Xue, while he smiled apologetically he asked about Ji Yu Qing, the thing he was most concerned about was whether the two of them had consummated their marriage.


Xiao Yi Chen expression was indifferent, no one could guess if he was angry or happy, Ji Bai Chuan looked left and right, unable to find any hints, he could only sigh.


The maid hurriedly ran back, looking rather flustered, "Old master, it's not good...princess isn't in her house."


"What, that girl is dim-witted, where could she have gone? Have you looked in her courtyard?" Ji Bai Chuan slapped the table and stood up having heard what was said.


Xiao Yi Chen frowned, yesterday the spies he had placed at the Ji residence had reported Ji Ling Xue was missing, he didn't believe it then, he didn't think that fool would actually run away from home!


"Achoo!" Ji Ling Xue sitting in the carriage on her way back suddenly sneezed loudly, lifting her hand she rubbed her nose thinking, who was thinking about me right now?


Mo Xiang smiled saying: "Maybe the prince is thinking of the princess!"


Yesterday they had picked up a man from the western outskirt, as they didn't know his identity, they left him in the broken down temple outside the city, making arrangements for the beggars to look after him.


Ji Ling Xue treated those beggars equally, and did not shun them because of their status and the smell from their body, the beggars viewed her favourably.


Ji Ling Xue also bought clothes for them and left rations, this time, these homeless beggars treated Ji Ling Xue like a living Buddha, following her words obediently.


"Young lady, be at ease, we will take care of the person for you, we won't let him leave our sight."
