On the way back to the imperial city, Shen Zhiyou and the others encountered several more assassinations.

However, with Shen Mo here, those who came to assassinate them were naturally all turned into scum in seconds.

Back at the gate of the palace, the fifth prince shook his identity token in front of the guards guarding the door, and said, "Tell my father and mother that this prince is back." ”

The guard's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and after a while, he reacted, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Okay, the slave will go!"

The guards ran back to report the news like a wind, and the fifth prince led Shen Zhiyou and Shen Mo to swagger in.

In the dormitory, Concubine Hua, who didn't know anything about her son's life and death, was still wiping tears with sorrow.

At this time, a palace man ran in panting, and said to Concubine Hua breathlessly: "Mother, mother...... The fifth prince is back, back!"

Concubine Hua was excited, and hurriedly raised her head-

"The emperor, he's back?!The palace heard me right?!"

"Yes, Niangniang, you heard it right, the fifth prince has just arrived at the gate of the palace, and now he is walking this way. ”

"Oh my God, Shuyue, did you hear that? Huang'er, he's fine, Huang'er, he's really back......"

Concubine Hua looked at Xiao Shuyue behind her excitedly, and said in a trembling voice.

How she was afraid that it was a dream, and when she woke up, her child's life and death were still unknown.

Xiao Shuyue squeezed out a stiff smile and said, "Yes, I told you a long time ago, the fifth prince is a good man, and he will definitely be fine." ”

"Thanks to Shuyue, you are really the lucky star of the palace and the emperor......"

Concubine Hua patted the back of Xiao Shuyue's hand, wiping her tears and saying with relief.

She didn't notice at all how reluctant and stiff the smile on Xiao Shuyue's face was at this moment.

She bit her lower lip in resentment, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.

It's really ghostly! Why is this fifth prince so fateful!

As soon as she thought that the fifth prince was not dead, she was likely to marry each other in the future, and she felt tormented in her heart.

The only man she wants to marry has always been......

Xiao Shuyue's mind came up with the figure of the man who looked down on the world, and her eyes inadvertently drifted to the palace gate.

At this glance, her gaze was firmly locked.

It's that man!

Xiao Shuyue's heart jumped wildly, and she couldn't take her eyes off the five princes and his party!

To be more precise, he looked at Shen Mo behind the fifth prince.

She recognized the mask on Shen Mo's face, the one-of-a-kind mask, and the temperament with an evil aura.

"You ......"

Xiao Shuyue, who was involuntarily attracted, was just about to meet Shen Mo, but was pulled back to reality by the voice of the five princes.

"Mother, Shuyue, I'm back!"

The fifth prince took a big stride happily, walked into the dormitory, and couldn't wait to walk over to Concubine Hua and Xiao Shuyue.

"Huang'er, it's really the emperor of this palace!"

Concubine Hua excitedly pounced on the fifth prince, trembling her hands, and stroked her child's cheeks.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, didn't Erchen come back safely?"

The fifth prince hugged Concubine Hua with a smile, and then, with a soft expression, walked towards Xiao Shuyue, and said:

"Shuyue, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you? ”

After speaking, he wanted to take Xiao Shuyue's hand to tell his feelings for the rest of his life.

Xiao Shuyue quietly avoided his hand, glanced at Shen Mo a little nervously, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said to the five princes: "I am very happy that the five princes can return safely." ”

The fifth prince said movingly: "I know that Shuyue is concerned with me. This time, when my life was on the line, I thought of you the most, Sister Shuyue...... Therefore, I have decided that after returning safely this time, I must propose to my father as soon as possible to marry you as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Shuyue chuckled in her heart, and blurted out: "No!"

"Huh?" the fifth prince was stunned, "Why not? Shuyue, don't you want to marry me?"

Xiao Shuyue really has the heart to kill the five princes on the spot!

Her sweetheart is not far away, but as a result, she wants to talk about marriage with this idiot in front of her!

A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she tried to maintain the smile on her face, and said:

"I think we're still very young, and we can think about it later. ”

"Sooner or later, it won't change the outcome, will it? Since we love each other, why don't we settle it sooner?"

The fifth prince asked with a little confusion.

Xiao Shuyue tugged at the corners of her mouth and said:

"Recently, the Vermilion Bird Kingdom is going to hold an alchemy competition, I want to go all out to prepare for this competition, I believe that the five princes also want me to get a good ranking in the competition, right?"

"Of course, I've always believed in your strength, Sister Shuyue, you will definitely be able to get the first place!"

Xiao Shuyue pretended to smile gently, pretending to inadvertently shift her gaze to Shen Mo and Shen Zhiyou.

"These two are ......"

Xiao Shuyue looked at Shen Mo and Shen Zhiyou, and successfully revealed the topic she didn't want to mention.

"These two are my lifesavers, and if it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back this time. ”

The fifth prince said matter-of-factly.

Although Shen Zhiyou choked him with anger along the way, he was originally a very broad-hearted person, and Shen Zhiyou was indeed kind to him, so he didn't think that after returning to the palace, he would rely on his identity to give Shen Zhiyou a dismount or something.

In a word, the fifth prince is a sincere child, but his brain is not very good, so he was deceived by Xiao Shuyue.

"It turns out that you are the emperor's life-saving benefactor, thank you so much. If you have any needs, just say it, and if this palace can do it, I will do my best to meet you. ”

Concubine Hua said to Shen Zhiyou and them gratefully.

"Yes, thanks to you, otherwise, Brother Xu wouldn't have come back. ”

Xiao Shuyue said softly, her eyes involuntarily looking towards Shen Mo.

Getting up close and personal with this man, her heart beat even harder.

In fact, she had only seen Shen Mo once, at that time, she was training outside, and because she believed in her own strength too much, she provoked a very fierce immortal beast and almost wiped out the whole army.

Later, just when she was feeling desperate, this man stepped on the Demon Demon Dragon and appeared in front of her.

With just a slight wave of his sleeve, the immortal beast swallowed completely in the man's hand.

"Eat. ”

The man patted the Demon Demon Dragon and said to it lightly.

"Roar!"

The Demon Demon Dragon roared, opened its mouth, and ate the huge immortal beast in two or three bites.

You know, that immortal beast is at the level of an immortal monarch!

Being able to kill an immortal beast at the level of an Immortal Monarch in one move in seconds, how strong should this man be?!

Moreover, the Demon Divine Dragon is a divine beast above the level of the Immortal Emperor, and being able to tame such a divine beast as his own mount, this man's strength is probably still above the Immortal Emperor!

What is the strength of the Immortal Emperor above? That's the Divine Monarch!

I can't find a few of them in the entire Gods and Demons Continent!

Just at this glance, Xiao Shuyue was deeply fascinated by the man in front of her.

It's a pity that before she could ask the man's name, the man took the Demon Demon Dragon and left without looking back.

During the whole process, he didn't even give Xiao Shuyue a look.

Xiao Shuyue was very unwilling, she felt that this man must have not noticed herself, otherwise, with her appearance, she would not be attractive to this man at all!

If she can meet this man again, she will definitely seize the opportunity!

However, after she went back, no matter how she inquired about this man, this man seemed to have evaporated from the world, and all the news was lost.

Unexpectedly, just when she was about to give up, she would be able to see this man appear in front of her again in Concubine Hua's bedroom.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shuyue was not so annoyed by the fact that the five princes had successfully survived.

After all, if the fifth prince hadn't survived, how could she have seen this man?

Shen Mo didn't respond to Concubine Hua and Xiao Shuyue's words at all, because he followed Shen Zhiyou over, if it wasn't for Shen Zhiyou's desire to save the five princes, maybe he wouldn't have saved the five princes from the hands of the masked people at all.

Shen Mo's coldness made Xiao Shuyue feel a little unwilling.

Why didn't this man give him a single look? Did he forget that he had saved himself?

Shen Zhiyou glanced at Xiao Shuyue thoughtfully, and then smiled at Concubine Hua and said, "Xie Concubine Hua, I didn't think of anything that needed Concubine Hua's help for the time being, if I had to say it, why don't Concubine Hua find a place for me to stay......"

"It's not easy!"

Concubine Hua felt that the girl in front of her was really kind-hearted, she saved her emperor, such a great favor, and in the end she just wanted a place to stay.

Concubine Hua immediately arranged to go down and found a beautiful courtyard for Shen Zhiyou to live in, and arranged a top chef for her to call for three meals a day.

"This annex was purchased by the palace itself, and this girl can live as long as she wants. ”

Concubine Hua said softly to Shen Zhiyu.

"Concubine Xie Hua. ”

"You're welcome, you saved the emperor, this palace thinks this thank you gift is too little! By the way, I don't know what kind of thank you gift this little brother wants?"

Concubine Hua asked Shen Mo beside Shen Zhiyou.

"I'm like her. ”

Shen Mo replied without hesitation.

"In this case, then the palace will arrange another courtyard for you. ”

Concubine Hua didn't know if the relationship between Shen Mo and Shen Zhiyou was familiar, so she planned to arrange another place for him.

"No, just live in her yard. ”

Shen Mo pointed at Shen Zhiyou and said.

"That's ......" Concubine Hua looked at Shen Zhiyou hesitantly, not knowing if she would mind.

The fifth prince coughed dryly twice, and said to Concubine Hua: "Mother, don't worry, the two of them already knew each other, and that man is still the suitor of my life-saving benefactor, you just arrange them in one place." ”

What's like that......

Concubine Hua understood, smiled, and said, "Since this is the case, then the palace will arrange for you to live together." ”

Live together......

Shen Zhiyou's eyelids jumped, and she felt that this sentence sounded, why was it so ambiguous......

Xiao Shuyue looked at Shen Zhiyou obscurely, and bit her lower lip fiercely.

Who is this woman, and why is she so familiar with her sweetheart?

Originally, when she saw that Shen Zhiyou's appearance could only be regarded as "delicate", she didn't take the other party in her eyes at all.

And now, she inexplicably felt wary.
