Looking at the protector who didn't say a word, Xin Muyuan, who never liked to explain anything, suddenly wanted to explain this matter to him. But when he was about to speak, he felt that whatever he said seemed too deliberate and boring.

It's as if everything needs to be explained, and everything doesn't need to be explained.

"How are you now?" The Protector was the first to speak.

Xin Muyuan, who was indifferent and indifferent, suddenly became nervous at this moment, his body was tense, and he said, "I...... I'm okay, not hurt. I found out when the mudslide started and took refuge with people. ”

The Protector nodded: "Very smart." It's getting late, let Zhan'er send you back. ”

"Okay, thank you, Lord Protector."

The protector bowed his head and turned to leave.

Xin Muyuan breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest gently.

During the half year in the Protector's Mansion, the Protector went out early and returned late, and Xin Muyuan rarely saw him. Even if they met a few times occasionally, they all nodded and passed with a polite word.

The Protector can't say how much he likes her, but he can't say that he doesn't like her, it's plain.

This is the first time I have greeted you like this.

Whether he bumped into someone from outside the ancestral hall or was beaten, the Protector just glanced at it lightly, and then continued to do his own thing.

Xie Zhan stood in front of Xin Muyuan, bent down with his back to her, and swung his arms back. Xin Muyuan was confused for a moment and did not move.

Xie Zhan shook his arm, tilted his head and said, "Come up, I'll carry you back." ”

Xin Muyuan didn't go up: "This is not appropriate." ”

Xie Zhan took two steps back, startling Xin Muyuan. He waved his hand again and said, "Come up." Although the situation here is under control, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not come again, I carry you on my back, it can be faster and safer. ”

This time, without waiting for Xin Muyuan to hesitate. Xie Zhan directly grabbed Xin Muyuan's wrist and forcibly carried her down the mountain.

The sky was high and bright after the heavy rain, and the wind was refreshing.

The temperature on the mountain was lower than that under the mountain, Xie Zhan put Xin Muyuan down, took off his coat and draped it on Xin Muyuan's body, and then carried her down the mountain again.

"Tired?" Xin Muyuan asked in a low voice.

She doesn't look fat, but she's not light either. Xie Zhan carried her on his back for such a long way, especially the mountain road was so steep, Xie Zhan's arm was probably numb.

Xie Zhan chuckled, it was not difficult to hear the tiredness in his voice, but his hands still firmly clasped her, and said, "It's okay, if there is no way to carry you through such a short road, then how can I carry you through such a long road in life?" ”

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about! Who...... Who is going to go with you through life? Xin Muyuan's cheeks were rarely red.

Xie Zhan let out a low laugh, and Xin Muyuan suddenly felt that this man's voice was ...... Kind of nice to hear.

The moon slowly climbed into the sky, and Xie Zhan finally came to the door of Qinxin Garden with Xin Muyuan on his back.

Xie Zhan put Xin Muyuan down cautiously and looked at her reluctantly.

The front is the door of Qinxin Garden, and if you enter Xin Muyuan from here today, I am afraid it will be difficult to encounter it in the future.

"You ......"

"You ......"

The two of them spoke at the same time, and this sudden tacit understanding blushed their faces.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

It's this damn weird tacit understanding again.

The faces of the two men turned even redder.

Xie Zhan's eyes drifted around uneasily, and he whispered, "That...... It's not early, you rest early, I'll ...... We'll see you another day. ”

"Well, let's go back." Xin Muyuan nodded, her shy appearance finally made her look like a normal girl.

The two of them stood at the door for a long time, until Mu Yi came out rubbing his eyes, and the two of them looked away in a panic and hurriedly said goodbye, one walked out, and the other entered Qinxin Garden.

The Imperial Palace, the dormitory of Princess Huai'an.

The beautiful woman sat in front of the dressing mirror with a gloomy face, and behind her knelt a group of slaves.

The woman at the head was dressed in green clothes, with a handsome face, but at this time her face was pale, staring down at the ground, and her body trembled like chaff.

"It's a fantastic plan." The Lord of Cheers silently removed the golden hairpin from his head and gently placed it on the table.

Behind her, the body of the woman in green clothes trembled even more.

"The princess spares her life, the princess forgives her sins, the slave really didn't mean it, the slave really didn't know that such a serious disaster would happen that day." Qingsi began to sob.

Princess Huai'an's hand taking the hairpin paused, turned around, and stared at the Tianling Gai of Qingsi with godless eyes.

The cold enters the body, and the pores of the green silk sweat are frozen. Mo said that his body trembled, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

"You mean, Hongu deserves it?"

The anger around Qingsi was suddenly emptied, she kowtowed frantically, and her head hit the ground with a clanging sound.

The white forehead became black and blue, and the red blood seeped outward, and she cried bitterly and begged for mercy: "O princess spare her life! I really didn't say you! The slave is resentful of Xin Muyuan! ”

A thought came out, Qingsi immediately had an idea in her heart, and hurriedly raised her head and looked nervously at Princess Huai'an's cold face, and said:

"Princess, it's all to blame Xin Muyuan! It's all her, this woman who can't even look down on the sky. If it weren't for her dead face by your side, how could the wrath of heaven be directed upon you? This mudslide is God's punishment for Xin Muyuan, she should have died under this mudslide, but because of your blessing, she escaped death. ”

"Princess, this time the person who came to heaven to punish you is not you, but Xin Muyuan! All of this is because of Xin Mu Yuan! She is a scourge from the sky! It is the source of all calamities! ”

Qingsi crawled to the feet of Princess Huai'an, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and said eagerly:

"Princess. Princess, think about it, do all your unhappiness come from her? If it weren't for her, you and the son would still be in love as before; If it weren't for her, you would still be that gentle, virtuous, hard-working and kind girl in the eyes of the Duchess of the Protectorate; If it weren't for her, your life would have been smooth sailing, not the way it is today. Princess, all these sins come from Xin Muyuan! ”

Princess Huai'an's eyes narrowed, and her fists clicked.

Yes, she was right, all these changes are because of Xin Muyuan! She could have loved her cousin Zhan for the rest of her life, and she could have become the most suitable and satisfactory daughter-in-law in the eyes of the Duchess of Huguo, but it was because of the appearance of Xin Muyuan that all this changed.

"Isn't it, as long as Xin Muyuan disappears, everything will be back on track?" Princess Huai'an murmured.

She had thought more than once or twice, and it wasn't the first day she said it, but never had she felt so urgent and strong as she did today.
