After getting out of the carriage, Lan Qingcheng ran towards the door of the restaurant just now.

Because it was the rush hour for dinner in the evening, there were many passers-by, and Lan Qingcheng finally pushed aside the crowd and arrived in front of the restaurant.

However, where can you still see the figure of the King of Shu in front of the restaurant?

What about people?

Lan Qingcheng anxiously searched around, but he couldn't find it here, he turned around and ran upstairs, all the way to the box where they had just eaten.

A guy in the box secretly used a pocket to pack the rest of the uneaten dishes, and Lan Qingcheng suddenly broke in and startled him.

"Boss, just this time, I won't dare to ...... next time" Before he finished speaking, the guy was relieved to see that it was not the owner of the restaurant, but just Lan Qingcheng.

No one, he's not here!

Lan Qingcheng glanced around, then left the box again, and then returned to the door of the restaurant, standing on the steps in front of the restaurant, ascending and looking into the distance.

After only running for a while, she was out of breath.

Where is it? Where the hell is it? It's only been such a short time, why is it gone?

Back in the carriage, Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei looked at her with some concern: "Master, what's wrong with you?" What happened? "Being so flustered just now inevitably made them worried.

Lan Qingcheng's face was still not good-looking, she made a calm face, and coldly shouted: "Go to the Shu Palace!" ”

"Oh, yes!"

Seeing that Lan Qingcheng's expression was not good, Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei had to obey the order to drive the carriage again.

In front of the palace of the king of Shu

Lan Qingcheng indicated that she was looking for the King of Shu, but the answer given to her by the guards made her almost burst into emotion.

"What do you say? Your prince has been out for the past two days, and he won't go home? Lan Qingcheng clenched his hands into fists.

It was only a little before she roared, but the anger on her face still made the guards tremble and deal with her carefully.

"Yes, when the prince went out today, he said that he would not return home, and he would not return home until the day after tomorrow after hunting!" The guard told Lan Qingcheng everything he knew.

Lan Qingcheng almost pushed aside the guards and broke into the Shu King's Mansion to check on the situation, but she stopped this thought in time, and she couldn't lose her mind for the time being.

After all...... She hadn't really unveiled the mask on his face in front of King Shu, maybe it was the same as before, but she had hallucinations in front of her eyes and recognized people.

She had to be calm now.

Leaving in front of the Shu Palace, returning to the Blue Mansion, and driving the maids down, Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei were able to have time to ask Lan Qingcheng properly.

"Master, what happened, what happened to you just now?" Feng Yi was the first to ask.

"Yes, master, what are you suddenly looking for the King of Shu? Did the King of Shu do something to you when he was in the restaurant? Yao Yiwei guessed.

Lan Qingcheng shook his head.

"Not what you think." She looked out the window at the night.

"What's that?"

"I suspect ......" Lan Qingcheng looked at the branches swaying in the wind in the treetops, and spit out a sentence word by word: "King Shu...... It could be Ah Xi. ”

Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei glanced at each other, and then they both laughed at the same time.

"Master, what are you kidding, how can the King of Shu be Yexi?" Yao Yiwei persuaded her: "Didn't you think he was very similar to Yexi's figure before, I'm afraid you were mistaken, right?" ”

"That's it, besides, how could Yexi be here and become the king of Shu again?"

Lan Qingcheng shook his head.

"The King of Shu came out of Liucheng, although I don't know what happened in the middle, but, I think there may be a connection, and the most important thing is that just now in front of the restaurant, I took a look, and the mask on his face was removed, and it was indeed Yexi's face." Her hands clenched tightly, unable to hide the agitation in her heart.

"I still think it's impossible, master, if the King of Shu is really Yexi, why doesn't he know you?"

Lan Qingcheng pressed his aching temples with both hands.

"I don't know, only when I meet him can I confirm my suspicions."

"However, the guard also said that the King of Shu will come back after the royal hunt when he goes out, and you won't see him until then!"

"This hunt

Hunting, he will definitely go. Lan Qingcheng bit his lower lip: "On the hunting ground, I must be sure of him...... Isn't it nightlight? ”

If he's not Nightshade, if he's Nightshade......

Why did he pretend not to know her, and deliberately hide his identity from her, and he also became the king of Shu.

What is the purpose of all this?

Time passed little by little, and the night was still long.

It's the first time time time has passed so slowly.

There is still a long time until the day after tomorrow.

※

Regarding the fact that Lan Qingcheng was going to the hunting ground, Ning Yanbin refused.

The next day was going to the hunting ground, Lan Qingcheng came to the Xiangfu to see the buns, and with it, of course, there was also Ning Yanbin, and the Xiangfu was preparing for the wedding day, and the people were very busy, and no one took care of Luo Ya's yard.

Luo Ya has always wanted to take the opportunity to escape from marriage, but if she leaves, she is not at ease when Baozi is alone in the mansion, and in the current situation, Baozi is not safe in other places, so she has to continue to stay in the Xiangfu.

Inside the house, Ning Yanbin and Luo Ya sat opposite each other, and Lan Qingcheng sat in the center of the two with a bun.

"Qingcheng, you have met with the prince before, this time you go to the hunting grounds, the prince will definitely recognize you, as long as you make up a lie that you are not feeling well, the queen mother will naturally give you no more grace!" Ning Yanbin proposed.

This proposal was considered by Lan Qingcheng.

However, after seeing the face of the King of Shu, Lan Qingcheng dispelled this idea.

"Brother Ning, I have already decided, I will go hunting, although the prince has seen me, but he has not made a deep acquaintance, as long as I use a little strategy, he will not recognize me!" Lan Qingcheng said with a smile.

"But this is still too dangerous, the prince is insidious and vicious, as long as he finds out, he will never let you go, not only you, but even Baozi will be implicated, right...... Do you want buns to have no mother? "Ning Yanbin launched a family attack.

Lan Qingcheng didn't care about her own life, but she couldn't ignore the buns.

Lan Qingcheng gritted his teeth.

"If something happens to me, I'll ask Brother Ning to take care of the buns for me, but this hunting ground, I have to go!"

If she wasn't sure, she'd be crazy.

"What is the reason why you must go to the hunting grounds?" From Lan Qingcheng's face, Ning Yanbin sensed the urgency of her going to the hunting grounds.

Aside from the bun matter, what else could make her show such an uncalm expression?

It's not like her!

"Brother Ning, I have a reason why I have to go, I will arrange other things in advance, there will be no problems, even if there is a problem, there is only a one percent possibility, I will solve this one percent problem smoothly!"

"Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you, tomorrow I will go to the hunting grounds, I will also be there, then, if there is any problem, this king can help you, when the time comes, you must not fight hard alone, you must find me, you know?" Ning Yanbin still told uneasily.

"Okay, Brother Ning, I'll listen to you." Lan Qingcheng happily agreed, she knew that Ning Yanbin was worried about her, and if she refused, he would definitely be worried.

looked at the buns, and then at Lan Qingcheng and Ning Yanbin.

Loya had other thoughts in her mind.

Hunting tomorrow, less than ten days will be the time for her and Ning Yanbin's wedding, if she wants to leave without marrying Ning Yanbin, tomorrow is the best time.

Baozi, she can be sent to a safe place, but if she misses this time, she may never have a chance to leave, and she must marry Ning Yanbin and be a puppet princess for the rest of her life!

She doesn't want to be a puppet princess.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Lan Qingcheng and Ning Yanbin about this idea.

Ning Yanbin and Lan Qingcheng left, Baozi was already asleep, and Luo Ya got up quietly.

When she was about to walk out of her yard, a figure stood in front of her as expected.

"Miss, it's so late, where are you going?"

Cold voice, cold face, who else could it be if it wasn't an ice blade?

In the past, if Luo Ya saw the ice blade, she would turn into a fighting almost in a second, but today when she saw the ice blade, she unexpectedly showed a happy expression.

"If you want to walk around the house, you accompany me!" Loya offered to invite him.

Ice Blade's eyes were as cold as ever, without even a trace of ripples, only standing respectfully, cold

Say, "Yes!" ”

It's really the same as his name, so cold, I'm afraid that if he throws a boiling kettle at him, he can freeze the water in the kettle into ice cubes.

"Let's go."

Luoya walked all the way to the garden, the moon was sparse, walking on the cobblestone road, stepping on it, the stones creaked.

Luo Ya walked very slowly, her hands behind her back, the moonlight cast a dark shadow on her figure on the ground, and the ice blade followed her figure very self-restraint, and there would never be half a point beyond it.

Walking to the bench under the willow tree, Loya sat down with her skirt brushed up, and then she patted the empty place next to the bench.

"Ice Blade, you sit too!" Loya invited with a smile.

Ice Blade's eyes didn't even glance at the place next to him.

"Miss, just stand up to your subordinates, I don't know what the eldest lady is looking for her subordinates?" It was the first time in history that he had deliberately kept him by her side, and he didn't think that Luo Ya would call him because she wanted to tease him.

She was extremely disgusted with him, and her temperament was extremely difficult to smile at people she didn't like, so she had never even smiled at him for so many years, let alone spent time teasing him.

"Ice Blade, tomorrow is a hunt, you know?" Luo Ya lazily beat around the bush with him and asked directly.

"My subordinates know!" Ice Blade's eyelashes drooped slightly.

His guess was true, Luo Ya really wanted him to do something.

Luo Ya suddenly stood up, her hands behind her back, and suddenly circled around the ice blade.

She doesn't like to use incense powder, but there is always a faint sweet aroma on her body, and now, she revolves around him, and the aroma that usually lingers on the tip of his nose is a little stronger, which is very moving.

"Since you know, you should also know that in the past few years, every time my father accompanied the emperor to participate in a hunt, he would be injured?"

"My subordinates know!" Ice Blade's mind had already guessed a little bit of Luo Ya's thoughts.

"In the past, because I have always had you by my side, I was not in any big trouble, because I was going to get married in ten days, and in order to prevent my body from being injured before the wedding, my father had ordered that I should not be allowed to participate in this hunt, so I ......" Luo Ya said with a smile, and the purpose was already clear.

Ice Blade lowered his head and said lightly: "So, although the eldest lady doesn't want to go to the hunting ground, she wants her subordinates to go down...... Protect Xiangye? ”

"Sure enough, it's an ice blade, just one point!" There was a bit of pleasure in Luoya's voice: "What I want to say is this thing. ”

"Why did the eldest lady make this decision?" Loya's voice was too light, not at all like what she usually does.

"I'm also for my father's safety, and you know that in the past few years, every time my father was injured, I was actually very distressed."

She lied.

Every time Xiang Ye was injured, he was taken directly to Aunt Xue, when Luo Ya wanted to visit him, Aunt Xue stopped her, and Xiang Ye was almost obedient to Aunt Xue, for this reason, Luo Ya shed tears many times, and in the past two years, when Xiang Ye was injured, she didn't even go to visit.

Now she suddenly said that it was for the safety of Xiangye, and the ghost would believe her words.

"The guards brought by Xiangye this time are already top-notch, I'm afraid I won't need subordinates!"

"However, no matter how powerful those people are, they are not as familiar with the terrain as you are, only this once!" Luo Ya bit her lower lip and showed a begging expression to the ice blade: "Only this time, you help me take care of my father, and I won't ask you again in the future." ”

She had already shown that look to him, how could he refuse her.

The cold gaze was the same, and then he nodded: "Okay, the subordinates promise the eldest lady!" ”

Luo Ya's eyes narrowed even more happily.

"I knew that Ice Blade would promise me, you really lived up to my expectations of you, Ice Blade, tomorrow my father's safety will be handed over to you."

"Yes!" But seeing Luo Ya's relieved expression, a strange light flashed under the ice blade's eyes, and the strange light flashed, so fast that people couldn't catch it at all.

※

The annual hunting tournament begins.

Lan Qingcheng arrived at the hunting ground early, and when she arrived, there were people who were earlier than her, and one of them was Wei Jie, who she saw in Princess Yongkang's mansion a few days ago.

When Wei Jie saw Lan Qingcheng, she nodded politely to her, and that little was kind, so Lan Qingcheng also nodded back.

The hunting riding costume worn by Lan Qingcheng happened to be the one given to her by the Queen Mother, and at the shoulders and cuffs, there was a ball of snow-white fluff, which was very cute.

The tight-fitting riding outfit fits tightly on Lan Qingcheng's body, revealing her curves, and her alluring face is full of self-confidence, and her gestures are heroic.

As more and more people came, the daughters and princesses appeared one by one, but ...... Lan Qingcheng is still the brightest star.

Many eyes fell on him, Lan Qingcheng didn't care at all, and even, didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

She was just looking for the figure of the King of Shu in the crowd.

As more and more people grew, even the emperor and the crown prince arrived.

When the prince arrived, there was a lot of talk because the prince's eyes were covered with a layer of white gauze.

It turned out that last night, the prince suddenly had an eye disease, which caused his eyes to not be able to see light, so he covered his eyes.

If you have an eye disease, you shouldn't come out again.

However, he has been grounded for so long, and finally has a chance to come out, where can he take care of his eyes? Even if he can't hunt, smelling the smell of the hunting grounds and listening to the desperate cries of those beasts will make him feel quite excited, better than being stuffed in the palace.

Seeing the white gauze on the prince's face, Lan Qingcheng's face was not half surprised.

In fact, the prince's eyes, which are covered with gauze today, are her masterpiece.

She had thought before that any disguise, disguise, etc., would always reveal flaws, and the only way not to show flaws was to make Ning Yanyan unable to see, so he would not be able to recognize her.

Subsequently, it was the arrogant Princess Yongkang who came late with the queen.

Princess Yongkang was dressed in a gorgeous riding costume, she raised her chin proudly, and when her eyes came into contact with Lan Qingcheng, a pair of noble eyes showed a little jealousy.

No matter how good the clothes she wears, she can't compare to Lan Qingcheng's naturally beautiful face.

There was an urge in my heart to tear that beautiful face apart.

No matter how much Princess Yongkang looked at her with hatred, she didn't have time to look and think, her eyes were still searching the crowd.

Now even the emperor has arrived, but the king of Shu has not yet arrived.

She muttered in her heart, didn't he come to hunt today?

Just thinking about it in my heart, I heard someone talking: "The King of Shu is here!" ”

The King of Shu is here?

Lan Qingcheng almost heard these four words, and looked at the entrance of the hunting ground mechanically.

Today's King of Shu is wearing a white and cyan civilian dress, but he is still wearing a black mask on his face, and Lan Qingcheng's eyes can almost see through it, and he can't see his face through that mask.

When the King of Shu and his party got closer, Lan Qingcheng saw that there was no one around, and planned to step forward to ask for an explanation, or directly remove the mask on his face and look at his face.

Her thoughts were interrupted by someone who suddenly appeared.

"Alas, the Yu'er of the mourning family looks really good wearing this!" The Queen Mother happily took Lan Qingcheng's hand, looked Lan Qingcheng up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.

Lan Qingcheng's movements stopped, the afterglow of his eyes swept in the direction of Yexi, and he turned his gaze back to look at the Queen Mother with a smile.

"It's grandma, your vision is good!" Lan Qingcheng said with a smile.

"Then only Yu'er can wear this dress better, look at it, there are so many princesses and daughters here, none of them are as good-looking as Yu'er!" The Queen Mother said in a loud voice.

Lan Qingcheng pretended to be coquettish and lowered his head.

"Grandma~~" she called out coquettishly.

"Okay, knowing that you are shy, grandma won't talk about you." The Queen Mother clenched Lan Qingcheng's hand and told with concern: "Yu'er, when you enter the forest for a while, you must be careful of those stray arrows and poisonous snakes and beasts, you know?" ”

"Got it, Grandma." Lan Qingcheng obediently agreed.

The conversation between the Queen Mother and Lan Qingcheng reached the ears of Princess Yongkang, and Princess Yongkang hated it, she stomped her feet angrily.

※

The eunuch beside the emperor announced the rules of the game, and Lan Qingcheng didn't pay attention to listen, she had been pestered, and now that the game was about to start, she still couldn't get close to the King of Shu.

The eunuch announced the start of the game, and everyone began to rush into the woods, and Lan Qingcheng followed behind the King of Shu and his party all the way, looking for an opportunity to get close to him at any time.

When walking into a lush forest area, the King of Shu and his party suddenly disappeared.

Lan Qingcheng hurriedly drove his horse over, looking around anxiously, but there was no half of a figure

。

What about people?

Just as she was thinking, a horse appeared behind her.

Ye Xi sat on the horse and smiled at Lan Qingcheng's anxious back: "Is the Jade Princess looking for this king?" ”
