Chapter 797: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 58
But as the center of the vortex, she had no idea what was happening.
Fortunately, they really only stayed in the capital until the end of the month.
But what Miaomiao didn't know was that word gradually spread in the capital that the current top scholar and current inspector Xiao Yunzhou was actually an absolute romantic. Not only did he keep his fiancée by his side every day, but if anyone looked at her for even a second, he would act like a vicious dog. But when the news reached the emperor, the emperor not only did not blame him, but praised him instead.
After all, the old emperor knew that this was not love at all, but just a way for a poor young man to protect himself.
On the day when he set out to inspect various places, Xiao Yunzhou's carriage was filled with things prepared for Miaomiao.
Whether it was Miaomiao's spear, her spare clothes, or even a variety of snacks, he had prepared a lot of them, and his eyes were full of joy at being about to leave the capital with Miaomiao.
Xiao Yunzhou was on a tour incognito. Miaomiao originally thought of continuing to be brother and sister like before, but Xiao Yunzhou said that there were too many guards following them and they would have too many gossips, so it would be better for them to continue being an engaged couple.
After all, at night, in order to protect him, Miaomiao and they would eventually live together, just one on the bed and the other on the floor.
Assassinations are still going on, and they are endless. Sometimes even inns are inevitably turned into places of assassinations.
Fortunately, the guards sent to accompany Xiao Yunzhou to various places this time are all experts, and many of them are even directly appointed by the Third Prince, and their martial arts skills are still very strong.
The only thing that remained unchanged was that Xiao Yunzhou would occasionally suffer minor injuries, and then he would become very dependent on her, even more than before.
In the second month after leaving the capital, the autumn air became even more intense, and it coincided with Xiao Yunzhou's eighteenth birthday.
The ginkgo trees outside the post station were covered with gold foil. Miaomiao wanted to give Xiao Yunzhou a happy birthday, but unfortunately, even the cook of the post station was sent by the prince to assassinate them.
Really, Miaomiao has never seen such crazy trash. They can't be killed and they are defeated again and again.
Sometimes Miaomiao would wonder if it was because of her lucky buff, so as long as she relied on Xiao Yunzhou, those assassins would always return empty-handed.
But if she happened to be away at the time, Xiao Yunzhou would inexplicably suffer some injuries that were neither light nor serious.
Miaomiao is now a little doubtful about when she can truly gain freedom. Sometimes she finds it increasingly difficult to understand her younger brother.
The way he looked at her was enough to make her realize it. If Xiao Yunzhou didn't have an official partner in the original story, Miaomiao would have almost suspected that she was being madly liked by some people?
It was a look that could easily be misunderstood.
Now that the cook is not good enough, she has to do it herself. Fortunately, she hasn't cooked for a long time, so her hands are not rusty.
Miaomiao borrowed the kitchen of the post station and made noodles for Xiao Yunzhou. A half-dead cook was lying at her feet, with half a mouthful of noodles stuffed in his mouth and rolling his eyes.
Longevity noodles are not difficult to make. Miaomiao even made two round fried eggs for Xiao Yunzhou. It seems that she can only wait until that useless prince becomes a little more useless before she can help him make up for his birthday.
When Miaomiao brought the noodles into the house, Xiao Yunzhou had already dismissed all his followers. The entire post station was protected by guards, and a strange kind of spice was burning in the room. The smell was so sweet that people couldn't help but smell it again and again.
When Xiao Yunzhou saw Miaomiao, he could no longer see anything else. He stood up, brought the noodles to the table, and cut them in half.
“This is your longevity noodles.”
Miaomiao stopped him, not knowing when this bowl appeared.
"I have to share my life span and my life with my sister."
Xiao Yunzhou seemed to be confessing his feelings casually. The fragrance filled the room and Miaomiao couldn't help but smell it twice more.
"This smells quite pleasant. I haven't smelled this spice before."
Xiao Yunzhou lowered his eyes, his eyelashes casting a fine shadow under the candlelight, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the ice cracks on the edge of the bowl.
“This is incense from the Western Regions, which the Third Prince gave us to calm our spirits.
If you like it, I'll have someone find some more for you to smell."
Xiao Yunzhou raised his head, the gloom in his eyes had been completely hidden, leaving only a gentle smile.
Miaomiao said "oh" and looked down at the noodles that had been divided into two portions. In the end, she did not refuse the noodles that were so delicious and fragrant, so she lowered her head and took a bite.
Because she lowered her head to eat noodles, she did not see the obsession and determination that flashed in Xiao Yunzhou's eyes when he looked at her again.
How could this incense be so simple?
It's called "Bone Guide" and Xiao Yunzhou asked people to find it after he discovered that he liked Miaomiao.
In fact, he had heard of this name in his previous life. At that time, this "bone inducer" was a spice that a daring princess wanted to use on him. Unfortunately, the other party was too stupid, and he never smelled spices and did not believe in spices.
So when he discovered the problem later, he carefully examined the spices and the people who made them.
He did know about this magical spice. Apart from the unreliable propaganda that said that smelling it together would make one feel more attracted to the other because of some strange smell in it, there was another interesting point.
That is, no matter where the other party is, you just need to find a few special birds that have smelled this fragrance, and you can find the other party no matter where they are.
And the scent emitted by men and women is even different.
If it weren't for this special bird, humans wouldn't even be able to smell that they were carrying this tracking spice.
Of course, if it is a bit more extreme, it would be like what he did just now, constantly soaking the spice with the blood flowing from the assassination, for 49 consecutive days, which would make people who smell it unconsciously feel a sense of intimacy with this bone and blood.
Even if it was just a gimmick, Xiao Yunzhou was willing to try it. This was not just a calming incense, this was the birthday gift Xiao Yunzhou really wanted to prepare for himself.
That was the obsession that had been lingering in his heart since he was reborn. He wanted to tear her apart and devour her, and he wanted to trap her by his side, not letting her escape even a little bit...
