Chapter 24: Confusion
"Shuo'er." Ji Runing's voice sounded low, "Are you okay?" ”
Shui Lingshuo raised her eyes and found that she had plunged into Ji Runing's arms. Stunned for a moment, she hurriedly asked Cong Wenyi for help: "Wenyi, save me!" "Whether he is the prince of Lan Youguo or the foggy of Jiyue Tower, she can't have anything to do with him in front of everyone. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for her to mix up in the Protectorate Mansion.
In response, there was a "bang" of water. A small and small broken plank slammed into her side, and the scattered water of the lake immediately hit her in the face.
Naturally, it was Yun Hongji who didn't have a good face with her to do this good thing. He stepped on a broken wooden plank, his expression was cold and arrogant, it was obvious that he had done something to harm others, but he still seemed to be right, but he glared at Shui Lingshuo angrily.
"Shuo'er." At this time, Cong Wenyi's voice also responded. He also stood on a plank.
Only Shui Lingshuo and Ji Runing were soaked in the water.
Shui Lingshuo looked at Cong Wenyi standing on the wooden board in a chic and handsome manner, and couldn't help but get angry: "You didn't even get your clothes wet, but you couldn't spare a hand to pull me?!" ”
"It's still Prince Ben who knows that he feels distressed." Ji Ru'an immediately took over the words, and her slender fingers took advantage of Shui Lingshuo's lack of attention, and suddenly swept over her wet bangs that were pasted on her forehead, "Little beauty, it's better to go back to Lanyouguo with this prince!" ”
"She is the princess of my Lanchuan country, not what you want!" Yun Hongji bent one hand slightly at his waist, and the other hand was behind him, and his ink-colored robe was as silent as stagnant water in the breeze.
"So what?" Ji Ru'an chuckled, but there was a coldness in her eyes. At this time, he showed a kind of appearance and posture that Shui Lingshuo had never seen before, as if the whole world had failed him, and Shui Lingshuo couldn't help but twist his arm that was trapped by him.
Ji Ru'an glanced at her coldly again, and continued: "How majestic were you Lanchuan Kingdom Protector on the battlefield back then, slaughtering the innocent people of our Lanyou Kingdom one after another, and now this prince just looks at the appearance of his waste son's woman, and you Lanchuan Kingdom can't afford it?" ”
Yun Hongji smiled at the corners of his lips at this time, "It's just an incompetent woman, if my cousin's trip is only for such a purpose, I'm afraid that my uncle will be so angry that he will vomit blood - if you want a beauty, this king will definitely show the imperial brother and let him send you a car back." ”
"Okay, this prince is waiting for your Lanchuan Kingdom to be more sincere than sending beauties!" Ji Ru'an's peach blossom eyes narrowed, snorted softly, loosened his arms that tightly bound Shui Lingshuo, abandoned Shui Lingshuo, and his figure rose and fell between the wreckage in the lake and the various painting boats, and he went ashore after a while.
Ji Ru'an's entourage was waiting on the shore early. An attendant led a pure white horse to him respectfully, and he immediately turned over on the horse's back, and the silver whip in his hand was raised high and fell lightly, leaving a dashing back that quickly faded in the eyes of everyone.
Shui Lingshuo leaned on the broken plank that was smashed by Yun Hongji before, and felt very uncomfortable. Ji Ru'an, not the fog she knows, more than two years of friendship has become a ridiculous lie in the blink of an eye. It can be said that since she came to this world, the most trusted person is him, he knows that she has ulterior motives for going to the Protector Mansion, but he still regards her as the object of anger, which makes her have an afterthought of being treated as a monkey.
At this time, she even wondered if the owners of the shops she had helped were just pretending to trust her for the sake of profit. It's ridiculous that she has always only thought about how to make money in harmony, but she has never thought about whether these people are sincere. Perhaps, she was too arrogant and underestimated her inner sensitivity to such a thing as friendship, right?
"Shuo'er." Cong Wenyi called softly beside her. Shui Lingshuo realized that Cong Wenyi had arrived beside her at some point.
"Come, let's go to Prince Ji's painting boat first." Cong Wenyi smiled and handed out his hand.
He is rare not to be shy and formal, Shui Lingshuo immediately thought of his tepid appearance that angered Ji Ru'an before, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, even the most pure and kind person she thought was so black-bellied and could pretend, what else could be credible in this world?
At this moment, Cong Wenyi was still standing on the broken wood, holding one hand slightly on his knees to prevent the hem of his clothes from getting wet, and the other hand was stretched out in front of Shui Lingshuo and lay it flat. Shui Lingshuo smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and was about to put it on his palm, but he pulled it hard, pretending to fall from the wooden board he was holding in a hurry, and fell backwards......
Unsurprisingly, Cong Wenyi finally fell into the water.
Shui Lingshuo suddenly felt a lot of depression, and laughed happily in her heart, but her face was panicked and choked: "Wen Yi, I'm sorry, I was ridiculed by that prince before, I still feel uncomfortable at this time, I didn't expect ......"
Cong Wenyi glanced at her as if he was annoyed, but he grabbed her hand and jumped on Yun Hongji's big painting boat quickly. He then took out a small thumb-sized bottle from the placket of his shirt and handed it to her, "Your hand is bleeding, rub some medicine." ”
Only then did Shui Lingshuo notice that one of her fingers had been scraped off a piece of skin by the broken wood in the act just now, and it was oozing blood at this time. She didn't care much about such a small injury, so she casually shook some medicinal powder on the wound and returned the bottle to Cong Wenyi.
"The princess." Mei'er was also on this painting boat, and when she saw Cong Wenyi walking away, she stepped forward to salute.
Shui Lingshuo nodded, "Where did you go?" ”
"You maid was just taken captive here by my cousin Wang, after all, she also looks a little good." Yun Hongji explained in a non-yin and non-yang manner, as if he was condemning her for being shameless, and actually being intimate with Ji Runing in the water.
The onlookers gradually dispersed at this time. Shui Lingshuo looked at the calm lake, and was no longer in the mood to talk to this proud prince, so she only said lightly: "Please send me ashore, I'm tired." When the words fell, she felt a slight sinking on her back, and turned her face to look, but it was Yun Hongji who draped a big coat on her.
Don't say that it is now in public, even if the two of them meet alone, she will not accept any kindness from him, even if she pulls this annoying big thing.
"Your clothes are soaked." Yun Hongji smiled evilly, looking at her eyes drooping slightly, fixed on a certain raised part, "You are not afraid of the cold, this king also feels a little hot......"
Shui Lingshuo hurriedly pulled Da Yu back and wrapped herself tightly, while distancing herself from him.
"Shuo'er." At this time, Cong Wenyi walked out of the painting boat and handed a wet pill to Shui Lingshuo, "I just asked them for some ingredients, and made this cold-repelling ball, you can eat it quickly." ”
Shui Lingshuo's heart couldn't help but warm again, and smiled, "Thank you." ”
The boat was soon on the shore.
Shui Lingshuo said goodbye to Cong Wenyi and Yun Hongji respectively, and got into the carriage back to the house. Only then did she calm down and think back to the image that came to her mind when she fell into the water. That little girl should be her former self, but who is the person who shouts "Xiao Shuo" behind her back?
She searched her mind, but could not find the owner of the voice. The only thing she knew for sure was that the voice was familiar, familiar.
"Get out of the way!" Mer'er's scolding suddenly came from outside.
Shui Lingshuo lifted the curtain and saw that it was a drunk man rolling on the ground, just in front of her car.
Mei'er scolded twice, but the madman looked unaware, and staggered to his feet, seeing that he seemed to have the intention of getting out of the way, but then sat down on the ground again. When the carriage went to the left, he rolled to the left; The carriage went to the right, and he followed to the right. This went back and forth left and right, and in a short time, the vicinity of the carriage was crowded with spectators.
Shui Lingshuo pinched the silver needle in his hand, and was about to throw it, but saw the drunk man staggering up again to make way out. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Misfortune, misfortune, the reputation of the protector of the country is going to be lost on this woman, sad, pathetic......"
The carriage was also restarted as the drunken man moved, but his shouting words clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Immediately, there was the sound of Mei'er's angry shouts and whipping outside. Shui Lingshuo knew something through the gap in the curtain, and knew that it was Mei'er who had snatched the whip from the driver's hand.
The drunkard was beaten and rolled on the ground. Shui Lingshuo drank Mei'er at the right time, "That's it, the clear is self-purifying, my father-in-law is not afraid of the gossip of the world when he is here, although the princess of this world is not as good as one-tenth of his temperament back then, but he also knows that this is just some sarcastic words with ulterior motives." Although my country is not as strong as before, it is not something that these villains can defeat in a few words. The country is the home, the family and the family will prosper, I hope you will not be provoked by the villain to damage the righteousness of the family and the country. When she had said that, she ordered the carriage to go forward, and not to linger any further.
……
The drunkard stumbled into an alley and into a house, his eyes immediately shining. He rubbed his hands together and sneered at the woman who was sitting on the steps wearing a curtain leave: "Girl, the silver ......."
"Take it." The woman took out a bag of broken silver, but dropped it halfway through, and then she drew a dagger, and at once hit the drunkard in the heart.
The drunkard hadn't had time to grab the bag of broken silver.
The woman withdrew the dagger and caught the silver bag with her hand, and the movements were fluent, without a trace of mud and water. At this time, she muttered in confusion: "Why is this Shui Lingshuo so different from before?" ”
