Under the valley covered by clouds and mist, the trees are densely shaded, overgrown with weeds, looking up, the towering mountain wall seems to rise into the sky, like a fairy, in the valley, a steady stream of clear water waterfalls pour straight down, watering every inch of land in the valley, giving birth to everything in the valley.

At night, the valley is shrouded in black, even the stars and the moon are extremely difficult to penetrate this dense forest valley, and the valley where there is no trace of people in the depths reveals a thick gloom, which makes people shudder.

This night, the tranquility of the valley was shattered. A cluster of fire light came from the stone cave, adding a bit of weirdness to the valley, and faintly dispelling some of the cold.

The man sitting by the fire, baking some damp clothes, his deep and charming handsome face was reflected in the firelight, less cold and arrogant in his usual days, with a trace of emotion that he had never had before, and looked at the smooth people on the haystack not far away from time to time.

Taking the dried clothes, he walked to the haystack and put the clothes on the sleeping woman one by one, although the action was clumsy, but full of caution.

Convincing himself not to look at her body as much as possible, not to be tempted by her unconscious, Xia Lixun looked at the woman's child-like pure sleeping face, and a kind of palpitations that had been lost and recovered passed through his heart, and at the same time, his heart was distressed and sighed, making his eyes gradually soften.

He had never seen her look like this. Obviously he is in trouble now, but he feels very satisfied in his heart, as if something warms him, making him feel full of warmth from heart to body. Even the irritability that has been surrounding me for a while is gone......

He didn't know why he jumped down with her at that moment, he only knew that he wanted to grab her, hold her tightly, and even hold her firmly by his side for the rest of his life. He wanted her to keep chasing him, he wanted her eyes to stay on him, and she was not allowed to look at any man except him, especially to smile at other men!

She had never been so gentle with herself......

"Lan'er, in the future, you are not allowed to let other men call your name like this again, whoever dares to call you like this, this king will kill him!" Holding her soft body, smelling the unfamiliar but charming smell on her body, Xia Lixun gritted her teeth and exhaled in her ear.

Thinking of Bai Yuhao's call of 'Lan'er Lan'er' all day long, he had a lot of fire in his heart.

A hairy boy dares to rob people with him!

Raising his hand to caress her round and flawless little face, it was tender, smooth, and seemed to have a slight fragrance, which made him a little unable to put it down. The fingertips scratched from the woman's eyebrows and eyes to her dry lips, and the small mouth pouted slightly, although it lost its usual pink color, the shape was very cute, and even felt ...... Delicious.

Suddenly, he swallowed, and his Adam's apple rolled a little. I don't know if it was the firelight or what, the light in his eyes suddenly became a little hot. I was even recalling the clip of undressing her just now......

His lower abdomen tightened, his breathing became inexplicably short, and reason told him to quickly get rid of this woman, but for some reason, he hugged her tighter. Sensing a hint of coolness on her, he got up and sat down by the fire with the man in his arms in his arms.

Afraid of accidentally touching the wound on her back, he put on a position that made her comfortable and comfortable - put her on his stomach!

The wounds on her body have been ruptured, so it's good that he went to find her today, otherwise not to mention the injuries on her body, I'm afraid she wouldn't even die.

Yesterday, he accidentally got a bottle of the best medicine to heal external injuries, today he wanted to send it to her, who knew that he would meet a few of them going out to play, unwilling to be left behind, he has been following them, all the way to Nanhu.

It's also thanks to that bottle of medicine, otherwise this woman wouldn't know how to feel bad at this time!

In the cave, accompanied by the sound of crackling wood branches and burning, a man and a woman maintained this extremely reverie posture until the woman gradually woke up.

Liu Xuelan didn't know what was going on, she kept feeling that her surroundings were hot, and the heat made her a little stuffy and uncomfortable. Slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a wisp of black hair. Stunned for a moment, she turned her head sharply to look, this look was not tight, and the shock made her eyes wide-

"Why are you here?" Cold and hard words overflowed from her parched lips, without a hint of warmth.

Seeing her wake up, Xia Lixun didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard her cold question, and immediately had a cold face.

Smelling the mint fragrance on the man's body, Liu Xuelan realized that the posture of the two was so ambiguous, she was irradiated by the firelight, her cheeks were hot, and her big eyes contained a trace of anger.

Almost without thinking about it, she was about to get up with her hands on the man's side.

"Don't move!" Seeing that she was leaving, Xia Lixun shouted with a cold face, and hugged her waist and pressed it against herself. What is this woman's expression? He saved her, she didn't know how to thank her, she actually put on a look of disgust and disgust, he didn't ask her to make a promise, just talk to him gently!

It's not that Liu Xuelan wants to deliberately show him a temper, but the current scene surprises her, he not only jumped off Nanhu with her, but also maintains this posture with her. You know, even if she touched a strand of his hair before, he disliked her like a fly, but now he actually hugged her and let her lie on top of him......

Glancing at the surrounding environment, I saw that it was a narrow stone cave, and nothing could be seen outside the stone cave, so it must have been dark for a long time.

Turning her head, she looked coldly at the handsome face of the man who was close at hand, and the once charming face now looked like a monster in her eyes, making her look disgusted.

"Let it go!" Lose your marbles! It's definitely an illusion! Desperately, she kept writhing and trying to get up, and the simple words popped out of her mouth, but they were full of disgust and rejection.

Xia Lixun's handsome face, which was originally a little soft, suddenly darkened, but even if the woman on her body was injured, her strength was surprisingly great. Afraid that she would tear the wounds on her body because of the struggle, he had no choice but to let her go with a cold face, and personally carried her to a ball of dry grass to sit on, while he sat down next to her.

In Liu Xuelan's eyes, his actions were abnormal, so abnormal that she felt awkward and uncomfortable.

Moving her ass, she moved a little further away from him.

"......" Xia Lixun was suddenly a little angry, how could his own pride make him endure the dislike and indifference of others for him? The uncle's temper immediately came out, "Why are you sitting so far away?" Could it be that this king still wants to eat people? ”

"Men and women can't kiss!" Liu Xuelan lowered her head, didn't even look at him, and although her voice was small, she had a strong sense of alienation.

Hearing this, Xia Lixun's sexy thin lips hooked up a mocking smile: "I didn't know who wanted to be close to this king, why, I pretended not to know this king at this time?" ”

Liu Xuelan still didn't raise her head, and her voice was even more indifferent: "I'm sorry, I've forgotten the past." I don't remember what I crossed paths with you. ”

"Liu Xuelan!" Xia Lixun's eyes widened, and her eyes suddenly became sharp, "There is a kind of you saying it again!" ”

Damn it! He sacrificed his life to save him, she didn't know how to be grateful, and even said such things! He remembers the events of these years vividly, could she say that she can forget it?!

This time, Liu Xuelan raised her head and looked at him with a cold gaze: "I don't know what King Fengde means?" If I'm not mistaken, we're just acquaintances, not even friends, so who are you to yell at me? ”

Xia Lixun's hand on his knee shook it, half a sound, he took a deep breath, and in Liu Xuelan's indifferent gaze, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand: "This king has decided, you are allowed to continue to follow this king in the future, where this king goes, you can also go, this king will not dislike you in the future." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xuelan's eyes became even colder, and she withdrew her hand without hesitation: "King Fengde, please respect yourself, I am now ready to marry, and I am not in the mood to play the game of chasing with you." ”

"Liu Xuelan!" Xia Lixun gritted his teeth with a dark face and roared. He said it so obviously, this woman actually lost her temper with him!

"I said, I'm tired, I don't want to chase anymore, I just want to find a man who loves me to marry, I can't afford to play your game, I can't accompany you, you better find someone else to play with you."

"......" Xia Lixun's eyes flashed a trace of scarlet, and he looked at her hatefully, "Marry? Who to marry? Bai Yuhao? Believe it or not, the king will kill him when he returns! ”

His suddenly fierce look made Liu Xuelan look at him even more unfamiliarly: "What does King Fengde mean by this?" What does it matter to you that I get married? Even if I don't marry Bai Yuhao, I will find another man who loves me and spoils me. What does it have to do with you? ”

"......" The man's thin lips trembled a little with anger, but he couldn't say a word.

The two of them held each other like this, his eyes were unwilling and angry, while Liu Xuelan's eyes were cool and indifferent.

No one spoke again, and the air froze instantly, and in the narrow stone cave, only the sound of burning branches and two different shades of breathing could be heard.

After a long time, Liu Xuelan retracted her gaze and subconsciously rubbed her arms. Xu had been soaked in cold water before, and now he was a little farther away from the fire, and he felt the coolness seeping. Moreover, this stone cave is obviously very damp, and by the light of the fire, you can clearly see that the stone walls are covered with moss.

Suddenly, a robe was handed to her eyelids, looking at this dress that did not belong to her, and she could clearly smell the mint fragrance on it, Liu Xuelan was stunned for a moment, and then, her eyes sank, and she threw the robe onto the withered grass on the side.

"You!" Xia Lixun's face was completely black. But just as he was furious, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.

Recalling the previous scene, he suddenly felt that his heart was blocked, and it was a little difficult for him to breathe, so that he stuttered a little when he spoke.

"Yes...... Rise. ”

He apologized for his actions that day.

He knew that maybe it was his ruthlessness that day that made her give up so many years of chasing and completely squeezed him out of his heart.

Knowing this, he suddenly leaned over and hugged her violently.

This time Liu Xuelan didn't struggle, as if she felt his strength, and seemed to be afraid of the injury that would involve her back, she let him hold her tightly, but the coldness on her face was deeper.

Capital

Xia Gao Longyan was furious.

Recently, a series of assassination incidents have occurred, so that the suppressed anger in his heart can no longer be controlled, when he heard Xia Lixun jump into the cliff, he couldn't help but roar, frightened the ministers who rushed to hear the news, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him knelt on the ground.

"How can this be true? There are such fanatics in my Shuxia country, who dare to hijack and commit murder in broad daylight! ”

"Check! Check it out to me! If you don't find out these fanatics, it's really hard to get rid of the hatred in your heart! How else can I be the king of this country? ”

"Liu Boyu!"

Xia Gao scolded and suddenly named someone.

Liu Boyu was sad about his daughter, and he almost didn't listen to Xia Gao's angry words, thinking only about his daughter's life and death. It was a minister next to him who secretly bumped into him, so that he came back to his senses, cleaned up the grief on his face, and quickly stood up and replied respectfully:

"Wechen is here."

Xia Gao looked at him, and his majesty was fully displayed: "I heard that this kidnapping incident was caused by your adopted daughter, and now your adopted daughter fell into the cliff with King Fengde, presumably you are as angry as me." As the governor of Kyoto, there are such villains in the capital, and you can't escape the blame. I order you to send someone to investigate immediately, and be sure to find out the person behind this and hand it over to me, so that you can make up for it! ”

Liu Boyu was already unwilling to have the bad news of his daughter, and was thinking about how to catch the murderer behind him, but he didn't expect Xia Gao to hand over this matter to him, which suddenly made him so excited that he hurriedly fell on the ground to receive the order:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Weichen will definitely find out these villains and the people behind them."

Although he didn't have any bottom in his mind now, and he didn't even know how to start, at this moment he suddenly remembered what a woman said, which made him full of hope for the next investigation.

Inherit the princess!

She must know something! Last time Lan'er was injured, she said that she was the one who caused Lan'er, and also said that it was because of her personal grudges.

And Princess Cheng was at the scene of these two incidents......

After Xia Gao finished ordering Liu Boyu, he turned his gaze and looked at the man who had been covered with ice.

"King Cheng, have you received any news in return?"

"If you go back to the emperor, you have already sent someone to search, and I believe that there will be news tomorrow at the latest. The emperor is relieved, King Fengde and Miss Liu's own martial arts are not bad, and they must not worry about their lives. ”

Hearing this, Xia Gao finally eased his expression a little. Glancing at the ministers, his heart suddenly became irritable.

"King Cheng stays, and the rest of the people all retreat."

"Yes, the ministers are leaving." Everyone retired. In the face of the angry emperor, no one wants to stay as a gas bag.

It's just that now King Fengde is in trouble, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain, and everyone has begun to secretly think about themselves in their hearts again - if King Fengdeok can come back alive, if King Fengdeok is killed because of this, then should they plan for their prospects in advance?

It's just that the crown prince was deposed, can he be canonized by the emperor again?

Who should they support now?

After all the ministers left, Xia Gao took Yan Moyu to the imperial study.

"King Cheng, I ask you, what do you think about this matter?" There were no outsiders, Xia Gao asked bluntly with a serious face.

He didn't believe that this son didn't know anything!

That princess Cheng has been attacked twice, could he not have made any action at all?

Standing in front of Xia Gao, Yan Moyu just lifted his eyelids, and his cold face was still as cold as ice.

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister doesn't know anything."

Hearing this, Xia Gao glared at him coldly: "How long do you want to protect him?" Do you want to let him do whatever he wants and kill you all at once, so that you are willing to confess him? ”

Yan Moyu was suddenly shocked, raised his head to meet Xia Gao's angry face, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that he finally reacted, Xia Gao snorted: "Are you really old and confused and don't know anything? ”

At the end, he suddenly sat down on the dragon chair, and a look of pain appeared on his majestic face, "I have already guessed that it is him." I didn't say it, I just abolished his position as the crown prince, I just wanted to give him a chance, but I didn't expect it...... How did he do it? I am his father! No matter how bad King Fengdeok is, it is also his brother! I have been diligent in government and love the people all my life, and I claim to be a wise king, but I didn't expect that the son I gave birth to was such a beast that he even did such a thing as killing his father and killing his brother...... I rule the world, but I can't even control a son! ”

At the end, Xia Gao's eyes were a little red.

In Lu Yunshan, he encountered a trap, and at that time he thought it was a bitter meat trick performed by King Fengde, but later he thought about it, King Fengde was arrogant and selfish, and the bitter meat trick was not his style at all.

Later, when he was attacked on the way, he guessed who did it, except for the crown prince in the court, the other two sons were by his side, who else could arrange the assassination of him so carefully and carefully?

Now that he has been deposed as the crown prince, he will definitely point the finger at King Fengdeok, and for him, only by getting rid of King Fengdeok can he turn over...... Do you think he, the emperor, will not understand?

Yan Moyu pursed her thin lips, but never spoke.

Xia Gao's heartache slammed his fist on the dragon case: "You say, do you really want me to kill my own son with my own hands?" ”

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to find King Fengde first. Since the emperor knows who did all this, he should be even more cautious. I don't dare to help you decide! Hanging his head, Yan Moyu said in a deep voice.

He believed that without his intervention, someone would naturally deal with the man. He had no intention of competing for the throne, and since they were going to fight, he would definitely not join in. As for whether the emperor wants that person's life, it has nothing to do with him.

As long as it doesn't hurt him and the people he cares about.

……

Chengwang's Mansion

Qiu didn't have time to be happy when he moved back to King Cheng's mansion, and he got the news of King Fengde's fall off the cliff from Sheng Ziyang, and she was so happy that she celebrated with Sheng Ziyang in the room for an afternoon plus an evening.

The crown prince was deposed, King Fengde fell off the cliff, and Xia Gao's two adult sons had accidents one after another, which meant that her days of wealth and glory were approaching. How could this not excite her?

She originally planned to enter the palace after moving back to King Cheng's Mansion, but after learning that King Fengde had fallen off the cliff, she immediately dispelled the idea of entering the palace.

She knew that Xia Gao must be in a bad mood now, and she would definitely not be able to get much benefit from seeing him at this time. And at this moment, if she came forward to ask about when the identity of King Cheng would be made public, Xia Gao would definitely be dissatisfied with her, and even suspect her intentions.

So, when Yan Moyu and Bai Xinran had not yet returned to the palace, she was happy to be entangled with Sheng Ziyang all day long, enjoying the happiness that only women have, and looking forward to her better tomorrow.

……

University Scholars' House

After Bai Yuhao was sent back to Baifu by Yan Moyu, Helan rushed to his grandson's room as soon as he heard the news.

Looking at the scar on Bai Yuhao's neck, Helan was so distressed that he cried again and again, and he kept angrily scolding a demon girl who had harmed his grandson.

"Hao'er, why are you so stupid to be with that woman? What did she do to you?! That woman didn't say anything about inappropriate outside, and she seduced you and almost killed you, she is a demon girl at all, you must not associate with her again! ”

Hearing Helan's words, Bai Yuhao frowned, and hurriedly defended Liu Xuelan: "Grandmother, you are too careful, Lan'er, she didn't harm me, she saved me, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back now, how can you say that about her?" ”

Hearing this, Helan suddenly turned cold and reprimanded: "It's all this time, you are still helping the demon girl to speak, do you want to be angry with your grandmother?" You are the only root of our Bai family, how can you marry such a woman? She hasn't even passed the door yet, so she will hurt you like this, if she enters our Bai family, won't it make our Bai family even more uncomfortable? You don't want to think about it, if you have three longs and two shorts because of her, what will our Bai family do? How can you let your grandmother have the face to meet the ancestors of the Bai family! ”

Bai Yuhao's face was a little ugly. But in the face of this grandmother, who has always liked to be aggressive, he didn't know how to speak for a while. had no choice but to look at his mother Zhang as if asking for help.

Zhang nodded knowingly, and gently persuaded Helan Clan: "Mother, what you said is a bit serious. The old man said that she had seen Miss Liu, and felt that she was quite a good match with Hao'er, although it was rumored that Miss Liu's temperament was not very good, but after all, she was a young lady from a wealthy family, and it was normal for her to have some small temperaments. Listening to Hao'er, they got along quite well during this time. Now that Hao'er is older, he will be able to distinguish between good and bad, so you can let Hao'er make his own decisions. ”

Hearing this, Helan glared at Zhang fiercely: "What, are you accusing me of not being able to distinguish good from bad when I am old?" Is there such a mother as you? I don't care about my son's affairs at all, you are clearly conniving at Hao'er to make mistakes! If something happens to him, are you worthy of everything our Bai family has given you? Are you worthy of the ancestors of our Bai family? ”

Seeing that Zhang's was trained, Bai Yuhao frowned and became a little anxious: "Grandmother, mother, she is for my good, how can you blame her?" If you are to be so unreasonable again, your grandson will be angry. ”

Helan saw that the mother and son were angry with her at the same time, and they were immediately angry, let go of the maid's hand, sat on the chair and began to wipe her tears, crying that called a grievance: "Grandmother thinks about everything for your sake, I didn't expect that now that you are older, you are so ignorant, and it doesn't matter if you don't respect your grandmother, and now you are still angry with your mother Grandmother, your wings are stiff one by one, and you don't even put me in your eyes, and now for such a woman, you can't even listen to your grandmother's words...... Why is my life so miserable? You are doing this, you are obviously trying to force me to death! ”

Zhang frowned, cold color rolled under his eyes, and finally chose to remain silent.

Bai Yuhao's chest rose and fell, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that there are less than two months to get married, my grandmother has repeatedly opposed this family business, these are not important, more importantly, Lan'er's whereabouts are unknown now, life and death are uncertain, and he has long lost his heart.

Thinking of the figure that jumped off the cliff with Lan'er, he was even more ......

……

In the courtyard, Bai Xinran waited until it was dark before Yan Moyu came back from the palace.

Looking at the heavy face of the man, she felt uncomfortable.

"What did the emperor say?"

Yan Moyu shook his head slightly, took her to the soft couch and sat side by side, and then said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry." ”

Bai Xinran sighed. How could she not be worried?

Something so big happened, and they were the husband and wife the most responsible. If they hadn't gone to Nanhu, that wouldn't have happened!

"Mo Yu, why don't you let me go to them?"

"Nope." Yan Moyu refused without thinking about it. He would rather take the risk himself than let her go! Seeing that the woman's face was full of worry and uneasiness, he hugged Bai Xinran to his lap and said lightly: "Don't worry, the people I sent to search are all specially trained, much better than ordinary guards, I believe they will be able to find people back soon." You can wait for the news with peace of mind. ”

Bai Xinran frowned and reluctantly accepted his words, thinking of something, she suddenly asked, "What about Lord Liu, how is he?" ”

According to Lord Liu's love for his daughter, I don't know how sad it will be.

Yan Moyu pursed his thin lips before he said: "The emperor asked Lord Liu to thoroughly investigate the assassination and kidnapping, and Lord Liu is afraid that he is busy investigating everywhere at this time, and he has no time to be sad." ”

Hearing this, Bai Xinran's brows furrowed even tighter. Do you still need to check this? All the men in black who were arrested by them have been recruited!

Even if King Fu's head is found, as long as the emperor wants to protect him, everything will become a fart, and the wind will blow.

This night, the couple didn't sleep much, the next day before dawn, Yan Moyu got up, Bai Xinran didn't sleep well all night, and when she saw him get up, she had to get up with him.

"It's still early, why are you getting up so early with your husband? There will be news about them today, so you can wait with peace of mind. After dressing up, looking at the woman who got up and dressed, Yan Moyu hurriedly carried her back to the bed.

Bai Xinran frowned: "You have been in the palace all day, and I am also upset at home, why don't you take me to the palace?" ”

Yan Moyu looked at the tiredness on her face, and immediately refused: "I will come back after the morning court, and I will not stay in the palace for a long time, you are obedient, just wait for me at home." ”

couldn't stand his domineering, Bai Xinran had to watch him leave the door.

After dawn, she really couldn't resist the sleepiness, so she fell asleep, and at noon, as soon as she got up, she heard the report of the blood shadow not hurrying or slowing:

"Princess, Mrs. He is here, saying that she is asking to see you."

"Mrs. He?" Bai Xinran's head was still a little dizzy, and he didn't understand.

Blood Shadow explained expressionlessly: "It's the second miss of the Bai family." ”

Hearing this, Bai Xinran frowned: "What did she come to do, and when did she come?" ”

"Back to the princess, she only said that she was looking for you for something, and she came at dawn."

The corners of Bai Xinran's mouth twitched: "......?!" "So you've been waiting for her all morning?

What is the big deal that can make this young lady so patient?
