Chapter 489: Chapter 489

Tangyuan’s face turned red, and she pouted, "Who wants to stay in the past? But now that you’re awake, there’s no need for us to stay here anymore. I’ve been feeling quite suffocated!"

Tangyuan also felt the cave was oppressively stuffy, so she walked out, but very considerately turned her back. Rong Heng walked far away, took care of his physiological needs, and also checked the surroundings to make sure there were no signs of pursuers before he returned to the cave.

Tangyuan hurriedly followed him, sizing him up, "How do you feel now?"

Rong Heng looked much better, but the color of his lips was still not normal. Considering he had been mostly unconscious over the past several days without much drinking or detoxification, and with no stimulative bloody detoxification, completely cleansing the poison from his system would take at least ten days to half a month.

Since she had rebandaged his wounds and he had bathed and washed his clothes, there was no feeling of stickiness, but rather a sense of refreshment and lightness. Naturally, Rong Heng had noticed these details, even pondering over the needle marks on his wrist for quite a while.

But his physical condition was not worsening but getting lighter, enough to prove that this woman had treated him while he was asleep.

"Did you detoxify me?"

Tangyuan knew the needle marks left on his body were a giveaway, so when he asked this, she did not deny it.

"I gave you a Detoxification Pill. The needle marks on your body were made by me with a silver needle, to ascertain the depth of your poisoning."

"I didn’t expect you to know medicine. How much about you don’t I know?"

Looking at his meaningful gaze, Tangyuan was composed, showing no panic or fear, "All you need to know is that I have no intention of harming you."

"Is this an indirect admission that you’re extraordinary?"

Tangyuan laughed, "If I were truly ordinary, would you work with me? Your Highness, don’t forget that our relationship is like grasshoppers on the same string. I need your help, and right now you can’t do without my assistance, can you?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel~fire~net

"You are indeed extraordinary; I’m becoming more and more interested in you."

When Rong Heng said this, his eyes carried an unprecedented seriousness, free from teasing or mockery, nor the usual domineering CEO’s ’woman, you have successfully caught my attention’ claim, but rather a kind of veiled overture.

With a good-natured smile, Tangyuan replied, "Your Highness, it’s my honor."

Rong Heng’s lips curved up as he extended his hand to her, "Come on, I’ll take you to our secret contact point, the hostel. It looks like we might not be able to go back there for a while."

Looking at the long palms he extended towards her, Tangyuan was somewhat dazed, until he stepped forward and personally took her hand, holding her hand in his, she finally snapped out of it, "Prince, what are you doing..."

"I’m a patient; you have to support me." This statement was shamelessly cheeky, as it was clearly he who was holding her hand and leading the way.

To avoid drawing attention, they went to a nearby village and swapped their clothes for shabbier ones, slightly disguising themselves.

From outside the city to inside, it was a distance of four to five miles, which they covered with the help of a local, and upon reaching the city gates, Rong Heng saw the clues left by his subordinates. Following those clues, they found a farm outside the city. At the farm, they were greeted by a dust-covered Ming Yue and Doctor Yin returning hurriedly. Qingfeng and others were still searching outside. Upon their arrival, a message was immediately sent out, and it shouldn’t take long for the rest to return.
