The bright moon hung high, and there were floating clouds rolling above the dark sky from time to time, making it seem that everything in the world was so bright and uncertain.

Ah Yao and Fang Bin were taken by Liu Yan to the stream outside the west city of Qingyuan County, and pointed to an ancient tree not far away: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is there, you can go by yourself." ”

Fang Bin was about to join Ah Yao, but he was stopped by Liuyan: "Your Highness has an order, only let your lady go alone, and I will summon you later." ”

Fang Bin swept towards Liuyan with a cold face: "My lady is a woman after all, so it seems a little inappropriate." ”

Liuyan smiled and spread his hands: "Only His Highness's order is obeyed." ”

Fang Bin looked at him unhappily, his eyes gradually had murderous intent, and he didn't let go of the hand holding A-Yao, it seemed that he had no intention of backing down.

Ah Yao forced herself to calm down, breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at her husband with a gloomy face: "Xianggong, don't worry, I'll be fine, didn't you also say it, His Royal Highness King Zhao is dedicated to the people, and I am also an ordinary person, so there will be no danger in thinking about it." ”

Fang Bin sighed secretly in his heart, he was not worried that King Zhao would be unfavorable to Ah Yao, but he felt that this matter was a little strange.

His Royal Highness King Zhao had just won the battle, and instead of saying that he would go to Beijing immediately to restore his life, he secretly stayed in this Qingyuan County, just to talk about Yao Zhengdong with her mother-in-law?

What's more, since Yao Zhengdong came back from Shangjing on that day, after he talked with Yao Zhengdong about A-Yao's affairs, he suspected one thing in his heart - King Zhao might have the same memory of his previous life as him.

In the last life, Yao Zhengdong was a person of His Royal Highness King Yin, and finally King Zhao ascended the throne, King Yin was defeated, and he also ended up in defeat.

And this life......

"It's true that I do things for King Yin, but my real master is King Zhao. Working in the Hidden King's Mansion is just collecting evidence of the Hidden King's crimes and covering up people's eyes. Fang Bin remembered that he was extremely shocked when he heard Yao Zhengdong's words, according to the fate of everyone in the Yao family in the previous life, although King Zhao was interested in A-Yao, Yao Zhengdong had nothing to do with King Zhao's Mansion, and now he had become King Zhao's person inexplicably, which once made him puzzled.

After thinking about it, there is only one explanation that makes sense: that is, His Royal Highness King Zhao wants to change the situation in the previous life and save the lives of the Yao family because of his feelings for A-Yao. The Yao family was not allowed to go to Beijing precisely to protect them.

It's just that if this is the case, His Royal Highness King Zhao learned that he was coming back again, why didn't he come to A-Yao as soon as possible, but instead left him Fang Bin such a chance?

The more Fang Bin thought about it, the more he felt that many things were suspicious, and he gradually panicked in his heart.

"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Ah Yao saw that Fang Bin had been pursing his lips and not speaking, his eyes were so deep that he was unpredictable, and she was very worried in her heart.

Fang Bin came back to his senses and gently stroked the hair in front of A-Yao's sideburns: "It's okay, you go, I'll wait for you here." "Since you can't hide, let's face it calmly. Believe that the truth will soon be revealed.

Fang Bin looked at Ah Yao's departing back steadily, his face a little heavy.

Liu Yan patted him on the shoulder: "What, are you really worried that Your Highness will eat her?" ”

Fang Bin didn't respond to his joke, how could Liu Yan know what he was worried about?

"Come on, let's have a fight? Don't worry, I don't use internal force, so it's fair, how? ”

Seeing that Liuyan was tiying, Fang Bin didn't want to wait so anxiously, so he wanted to pass the time, so he should come down.

Ah Yao cautiously walked in the direction of the ancient tree, and every step was extremely heavy. She secretly pondered, if His Royal Highness was willing to spare her father on the condition of leaving Fang Bin, then what should she do? With her father on one side and her husband on the other, how does she choose such a thing?

If it is said that King Zhao and King Yin have not yet decided the winner, it seems too early to ask King Zhao to let his father go in the future, but A-Yao just thinks that the one who wins in the end must be King Zhao. Since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over good, and the hidden king is not popular with the people, so why should he win the throne?

Bypassing the ancient tree, I saw a man wearing a navy blue auspicious cloud and bamboo tunic brocade robe standing by the stream with his hands on his back, his figure was slender, his black hair was high, although he couldn't see his face, but the noble temperament exuded from his whole body also made Ah Yao immediately guess that this person was King Zhao.

The stream was murmuring, sparkling in the moonlight, and the robes on his body were a little faint.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Zhao." Ah Yao calmed down the tension in her heart and bowed to the man in front of her. The stones on the ground made her knees hurt a little, and she couldn't help but frown.

King Zhao turned around leisurely and raised his arm to Ah Yao, who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up." His voice was gentle and had the inherent magnetism of a man, but it was very nice.

"Your Highness." Ah Yao got up obediently, but her head hung very low, such a noble and unattainable character, Ah Yao didn't have the courage to look at it, in case she collided with the nobleman, it would be a capital crime to say badly.

"Lift your head up." King Zhao spoke to her lightly, and there was no joy or anger in his words.

Ah Yao didn't dare to disobey, and raised her head cautiously, but just met the complicated eyes of King Shangzhao, Ah Yao was so frightened that she hurriedly drooped down, and her heart beat hard.

Although she only glanced at it, she was still surprised by King Zhao's appearance, in her impression, a prince who was fighting outside and fighting all year round should be the kind of big man with a big beard and looking strong and strong. But the man in front of him, in addition to his skin being a little dark, has a handsome face, a high nose bridge, and an elegant scholarly atmosphere between his eyebrows.

She only knew that her father-in-law was the most handsome in this Qingyuan County, and later met Liuyan, although he was not as cold and handsome as her husband, but he had a different kind of free and easy dust, and he was a rare beautiful man. No, this King Zhao's handsomeness is even worse.

However, beauty is beautiful, but in Ah Yao's heart, it is not as good as her husband's face. Although it is sometimes a little colder, how does A-Yao look at it.

"How did you marry the Seven Immortals?"

Such a question suddenly floated in Ah Yao's ears, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, King Zhao's tone of voice seemed to be facing a familiar person, which made Ah Yao a little uncomfortable, after all, this was the first time they had met.

King Zhao seemed to have noticed something himself, and explained with a dry cough: "This king is just a little curious, the Seven Immortals have always been difficult to contact, how could he suddenly come to this Qingyuan County and marry you?" ”

King Zhao said that he was curious, even A-Yao himself was unpredictable, but fortunately, Xianggong loved him, what is the reason and what is the matter?

"The folk girl was kidnapped by the people in the cottage before, but fortunately she was rescued by the father-in-law, so we met." Ah Yao said briefly, but she didn't want to mention some of the details.

King Zhao nodded, his face did not change, he actually knew the ins and outs of these things for a long time.

King Zhao smiled suddenly, but there was not much joy in that laughter, but more to hide the embarrassment: "Qi Ming is a stuffy gourd, you want to marry him and suffer a lot, right?" ”

Ah Yao wondered why His Royal Highness King Zhao suddenly said this to her, but she could only stubbornly reply: "No, Xianggong is very good to me and loves me very much, and being able to marry Xianggong as a wife is the happiest thing in my life." Speaking of Fang Bin, A-Yao's face unconsciously had a hint of sweetness, and her words were much lighter.

"The happiest thing?" King Zhao muttered a few words, and the smile on his face had long since faded, replaced by a faint melancholy.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Ah Yao gradually stopped feeling nervous, looked up at him and asked.

King Zhao raised his hand: "This king is fine." ”

"That'...... About my father......" Ah Yao tried to lead the topic to the focus of tonight, but before she finished speaking, she saw a black figure suddenly flash behind King Zhao, the man's eyes showed a fierce light, and the sharp sword in his hand reflected a dazzling light in the moonlight. Seeing that the sharp weapon was about to stab King Zhao's back, Ah Yao was shocked and called at him, "Your Highness, be careful!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw King Zhao dodge a sharp weapon that was stabbed sideways, and he reached out to pull A-Yao to a relatively safe position to protect him, and then he fought with the man in black again.

At this time, another man in black flashed out of the darkness and the tree one after another, and without saying a word, he took out the long sword on his waist and stabbed at King Zhao, each move with a strong killing intent.

Ah Yao was shocked by this sudden situation, seeing that there were too many people, King Zhao was a little difficult to be alone, so she suddenly sobered up and shouted at Fang Bin and Liuyan: "Xianggong, help!" Messire! ”

Originally, A-Yao wanted to move the rescuers, but Fang Bin and Liuyan, who were fighting, could hear it. Instead of calling the rescuers back, she shouted like this, but instead attracted the attention of the man in black.

I saw that two of the black-clothed people rushed towards Ah Yao with a tacit understanding after the eye exchange, and Ah Yao was so frightened that she was stunned for a while, and she didn't even know how to react.

"Yaoyao be careful! Hiss~" Just as Ah Yao had already reported her mortal heart, she closed her eyes tightly and was about to accept this qiē, but she heard a shout from King Zhao. As soon as I opened my eyes, I fell into a warm embrace.

"Your Highness, you're injured!" Ah Yao looked at his somewhat pale face anxiously, and the beads of sweat on his forehead, and his heart was filled with fear and disbelief. The prince is so noble, he actually took a knife for himself.

"Quick, jump into the river!" King Zhao attached to Ah Yao's ear and pushed her out forcefully, Ah Yao immediately reacted, and jumped in.

King Zhao quickly turned around and threw out the long sword in his hand vigorously, and the man in black had to retreat in order to avoid the attack of the sharp weapon, so he also jumped into the river at this time-

In the early morning, the red morning sun poked its head through the thin clouds, casting a soft golden light on the world that had been silent for a night.

From time to time, there are bursts of pleasant birdsong from the lush trees, accompanied by the sound of gurgling water, which is peaceful and quiet.

When A-Yao woke up from the coma, she only felt a terrible pain in her whole head, and she shook her head in an effort to keep herself awake. Looking around, I realized that I was lying on the edge of the stream, and my lower body had been soaking in the stream, and I was already numb and unconscious.

She climbed ashore with her elbows on the ground, detaching her lower limbs from the water, a simple gesture she did for a long time, and finally sat down on the shore gasping for air.

Squinting at King Zhao, who was also unconscious, she hurriedly crawled over again, shaking his body anxiously: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, are you okay?" Your Highness? ”

After a few calls, King Zhao gradually opened his good-looking phoenix eyes, and when he saw Ayao on the side, he sat up and said with concern: "Yaoyao, are you okay, are you injured?" ”

Ah Yao was stunned by King Zhao's sudden affectionate title, when did she become so familiar with His Royal Highness King Zhao?

King Zhao also seemed to realize his gaffe, and looked away in embarrassment: "What this king means is that if you are injured, you should be worried. ”

With King Zhao's explanation, regardless of whether it is true or false, Ah Yao's heart calmed down a little: "I...... I'm fine. ”

Ah Yao's dress was already soaked, but now it was tightly attached to her body, and her already delicate and round figure looked even more exquisite. Drops of water ran down her damp black hair down her white transparent neck, and down her delicate collarbone and down her chest. The whole person looks a little charming.

King Zhao only felt a dryness in his throat, and unnaturally moved his gaze away: "You are soaking wet, let's go and make a fire to dry our clothes first, otherwise it will hurt our body." As he spoke, King Zhao stood up and walked towards the clearing in front of him.

Ah Yao was about to get up, but her legs didn't obey at all, because the night's soaking was now a little painful, and she couldn't help but snort.

King Zhao turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Ah Yao sitting on the ground with his hands beating his legs with a painful face, he walked forward quickly: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"My legs and feet are so uncomfortable, like there are a lot of worms biting." Ah Yao's words were already crying, but she forced tears into her eyes.

After hearing this, King Zhao couldn't help but take off Ah Yao's shoes and socks, and Ah Yao was so shocked that she wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Removing the wet shoes and socks that can squeeze out water, A-Yao's white little feet are immediately exposed, and the low feet have been soaked in wrinkles, and even molted.

King Zhao's heart suddenly ached, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were already full of tenderness: "It seems that I can't walk for the time being, although there are differences between men and women, but I can only hug you when you look like this now, I hope you don't mind." ”

After that, Ah Yao lowered her head and didn't react, sighed and took the initiative to pick up the woman in front of her.

Ah Yao suddenly felt that her body was in the air, and she was startled, and subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, the two were so close that she could hear each other's heartbeats and breathing, and she couldn't help blushing.

King Zhao placed her on a large stone under the tree, and his tone was very gentle: "You sit here, I'll go and collect some dry firewood." ”

Ah Yao nodded obediently and did not speak.

At this moment, she suddenly missed Fang Bin a little, she couldn't find herself overnight, he must be in a hurry, right? Thinking of her father-in-law's worried and anxious appearance, Ah Yao couldn't help but have a sour nose and felt uncomfortable.

Xianggong, I miss you so much, where are you?.

King Zhao picked up dry firewood and came back to see Ah Yao's eyes were red, and he hurriedly threw the firewood in his hand aside and rushed over: "What's the matter, is it because your leg hurts?" ”

Ah Yao embarrassedly wiped the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes and shook her head: "I'm just...... I miss my husband. ”

King Zhao's face was slightly stunned, and an imperceptible complexity flashed in his deep phoenix eyes, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely find us." ”

"But it's been one night......"

"It was too dark at night, and we were washed too far by the stream, and even if they brought people to visit, they might not find us, but after a while they would follow the direction of the stream to look for us."

Ah Yao looked around and was a little afraid: "I don't know where it is, it was washed by the stream overnight, it must be far away from Qingyuan County, right?" ”

King Zhao seemed to see her worries and comforted, "Don't be afraid, even if they can't find here, I will definitely take you back." ”

King Zhao turned around and went to light a fire, looking at the wound on his left shoulder that fell because of saving her, thinking about the words he had just almost assured, Ah Yao suddenly felt a warm heart, but the doubts in his heart were even worse, this His Royal Highness King Zhao was too concerned about himself, is it just because of the relationship between the princess? But after all, he is the master, when does he need to do this to his subordinates?

"The wound on your shoulder ......" Ah Yao hesitated, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

King Zhao paused for his action of lighting the fire, but he didn't look back: "It's not a big deal, what kind of knife wound on the battlefield has not been suffered, this small cut is nothing." ”

"Thank you, you are a prince, but you have to take care of me, a common person." Ah Yao said sincerely.

King Zhao lit a fire and walked over and moved the stone that Ah Yao was sitting on to the fire, and then sat down on the side: "Those who are in high positions are originally for the benefit of the people, is there anything wrong with me doing this?" ”

Listening to his self-justification, Ah Yao couldn't help but smile: "Such an excuse is fresh, it is said that King Zhao has won the hearts of the people, and I can be regarded as seeing it today." ”

A Yao made a rare joke, and the smile on her face was innocent and cheerful, which was so elegant that King Zhao couldn't take his eyes off it, and he was stunned for a while. He didn't know how long he hadn't seen her smile like that.

Since when did she lose that smile on her face? probably started by marrying into the Zhaowang Mansion. He never knew that she could live so happily and freely without leaving King Zhao's Mansion.

Ah Yao gradually noticed King Zhao's gaze staring at her, and the smile on her face froze instantly, and her face was dyed a touch of red for a while.

"Why does Your Highness look at me like this?" Ah Yao held back the displeasure in her heart and asked lightly.

King Zhao came back to his senses, raised his eyes and saw her eyebrows frowning slightly, only then did he realize what he had done, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Why? Do you want to tell her that she was his wife in her last life, that they had an unforgettable love, and that he had hurt her deeply and forced her to die. And now that he is living again, he has lost her?

Thinking of all the things in the previous life, the corners of his lips gradually hooked up a wry smile, and his deep gaze became blurred: "This king just thinks that you are very similar to a girl that this king once knew." ”

Ah Yao was a little surprised: "Girl? Be...... His Highness's sweetheart? ”

"Yes, she is the only person this king has ever loved." If she could hold on for a while longer, she would be his queen, but her temperament was too strong after all. King Zhao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"And where is she now?"

King Zhao looked up at her, and his face gradually became a little heavy: "She left, I forced her away." ”

"Then why did you force her out?"

"It's all my fault, I hurt her because of the power and status I don't want to give up."

"Now that you know you're wrong, why don't you go to her?"

King Zhao stared at her: "I think, she has found her happiness now." ”

Ah Yao was a little uncomfortable stared at by his deep gaze, and lowered her head in embarrassment, thinking to herself in her heart, how can you see King Zhao as if he was talking about himself? Immediately, she shook her head amusedly, her brain was really hot, she and King Zhao met for the first time, where could it be the woman in his mouth?

What's more, with such an ordinary identity as her, she can't know a big man like King Zhao, right?
