The gate of Hanzhou City.

Ning Liuying didn't stop after leaving the city, she turned around and walked towards a boundary not far from the city gate, where there was a hidden path, and on the way there was the man who was waiting for her.

Zhou Jincheng was originally riding on a tall horse, but after seeing Ning Liuying's beautiful figure, he smiled slightly and jumped off the horse.

"Liuying, you're here, this king has been waiting for you for a long time."

"The Zhennan Wangfu is heavily guarded, after all, I am the concubine in the palace, and it is not a simple matter to go out of the palace alone, it still takes a lot of effort." Ning Liuying explained simply.

She looked at Zhou Jincheng, bowed down and saluted him, "I came to see off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as agreed, and I hope His Highness has a safe journey." ”

Zhou Jincheng stretched out his hand and helped Ning Liuying up, "Why do you have to do so much false courtesy between you and me, what you said today, this king remembers." ”

Ning Liuying nodded.

Suddenly, she saw two white horses behind Zhou Jincheng, and said with some curiosity: "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go out of the city with two horses?" You're coming alone, and you're not carrying much, so it's a bit of a hassle to bring an extra horse. ”

"You say it." Zhou Jincheng turned around and touched the other white horse, the smile on his face was very gentle, "This horse is for you." ”

"For me?" Ning Liuying was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked.

Zhou Jincheng suddenly smiled, looked at Ning Liuying and said seriously:

"After today, this king will return to Zhou, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other in peace again. If you change your mind and are willing to go with this king, there is still a horse here, and this king promises you that he will bring you back to Zhou safely. ”

It turned out that the horse was prepared for her, and that's what it meant.

But didn't he already reject Zhou Jincheng a long time ago?

Ning Liuying shook her head, and said with the same straight face: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to say much, I told His Highness three days ago." Since I said at that time that I would not return to Zhou, I will definitely not regret it, please go back with peace of mind. ”

Hearing her resolute answer, Zhou Jincheng's heart was a little lost.

He looked at Ning Liuying's clear eyes, and said with a complicated expression: "Liuying, I thought you still had feelings for this king in your heart. ”

Ning Liuying's heart does have affection for you, but I, Ke Wan, am not.

Ning Liuying said secretly in her heart.

But she didn't dare to say what she thought in her heart, so she could only say vaguely: "I have already made it clear to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that night, the family and the country are always in front of the private feelings of their children, even if there is affection in their hearts, they can only be suppressed for the time being, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands this truth better than me." ”

Zhou Jincheng was a little reluctant, "The king does understand the truth, but many things don't have to follow the truth of the world." You have to understand that Zhou Guo is not the only one who is meticulous, there are some things you can do, and others can also do them. ”

Zhou Guo is not the only one?

Capturing the key information in Zhou Jincheng's words, Ning Liuying secretly remembered this information in her heart.

She stood with her hands in her hands and said very indifferently:

"But I'm the only one who can stay by King Zhennan's side."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jincheng fell silent.

In the past, he sent more than one Zhou Guozuo to infiltrate the Zhennan Palace, but without exception, they were all discovered by Yuan Chufeng. So far, only Ning Liuying has survived, and has also become Yuan Chufeng's favorite concubine.

If Ning Liuying leaves, she will indeed not be able to find a replacement for her for the time being.

Zhou Jincheng sighed lightly and changed the topic: "That's it, this king doesn't want to force you, I just want you to keep the jade pendant that this king gave you." ”

"Is this a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Thinking of the embarrassing scene where Yuan Chu Feng questioned himself that night, Ning Liuying's face was not very good-looking, "I thought that His Highness accidentally fell into my room, but now I have brought the jade pendant and want to return it to His Highness." ”

As she spoke, Ning Liuying took out a piece of jade pendant from her arms.

The jade quality is excellent, and the light is flowing, this is the jade pendant that Zhou Jincheng deliberately left in Ning Liuying's house that night.

Ning Liuying handed the jade pendant in front of Zhou Jincheng, "His Royal Highness the Prince, take back the jade pendant, I can't accept it." ”

"Why can't you take it?" Zhou Jincheng didn't answer, "This king is about to leave Hanzhou, you can leave the jade pendant as a souvenir." ”

Before Ning Liuying could speak, Zhou Jincheng cast a playful look at Yu Pei.

"The ornament of this jade pendant is a unique style of the Zhou Kingdom, and you also went out from the Zhou Kingdom, so you don't want to leave some things from your homeland?"

A style unique to the Zhou Kingdom?

Upon hearing this, Ning Liuying instantly panicked.

Oh no, she didn't know the ornament of this jade pendant, and she had so much nonsense with Yuan Chufeng that night, but Yuan Chufeng was the king of Zhennan, it was impossible for him not to know him!

So, in fact, he was already suspicious of her?

Ning Liuying instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in her heart, as if something was about to happen in a moment that she didn't want to face.

She gritted her teeth and stuffed the jade pendant into Zhou Jincheng's hand with an almost tough attitude, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you should take the jade pendant back, I'm afraid that if King Zhennan sees it, it will be misunderstood." ”

This is an action that Ning Liuying would never do in the past, but now she can't control it so much.

She just wanted to return the jade pendant to Zhou Jincheng as soon as possible, and then rush back to Zhennan Wangfu, so as not to let Yuan Chufeng find out that she had sneaked out, otherwise she couldn't tell.

Ning Liuying stuffed the jade pendant and was about to turn around and leave, but she didn't expect Zhou Jincheng to suddenly grab her wrist with her backhand.

Zhou Jincheng smiled in a low voice, and said lightly: "Then let Yuan Chufeng misunderstand, and you can go back with this king with peace of mind at that time." ”

Ning Liuying was shocked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this?" ”

She tried to break free from Zhou Jincheng's shackles, but he pulled her over and took her into her arms, and the two looked like a pair of intimate people from a distance.

Zhou Jincheng didn't answer positively, but said an inexplicable sentence, "Why don't you tell Yuan Chufeng that this is a token of your love affair with this king?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, no!" Ning Liuying directly refused.

Ridiculous!

If she dared to say that this jade pendant was a token of love between her and Zhou Jincheng, I am afraid that Yuan Chufeng would have been angry a long time ago, and she didn't know what she would do to him.

"You don't want to say?" Zhou Jincheng smiled a little sarcastically, "Ning Liuying, you like Yuan Chufeng?" Want to betray the king? ”

Ning Liuying's body stiffened, and she even forgot to struggle.

She flatly denied it, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please don't speculate! ”

"If what this king said is not true, why has your attitude become the way it is?" Zhou Jincheng sneered.

Ning Liuying was speechless for a while, unable to speak.

"Go back with this king, this king is not to blame for the past." Zhou Jincheng said lightly, and wanted to hug Ning Liuying on the horse as he spoke.

Ning Liuying panicked, and her footsteps were nailed to the spot and refused to move.

In the stalemate, Zhou Jincheng suddenly pinched Ning Liuying's chin.
