"Miss An, don't panic, it's Changfeng!" Chang Feng's deep voice suddenly sounded behind An Yiran.

When An Yiran heard the sound, she immediately opened her eyes, looked back at Chang Feng, who quietly appeared behind her, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

She caressed her chest to ease the remaining fear in her heart, and then looked up at the tiled roof of the eaves, only to see no one in sight.

An Yiran took the opportunity to return her searching gaze to Chang Feng, carefully looked at his whole body, and then leaned close to his ear and lowered his voice and asked tentatively, "Did you see the man in black just now?" ”

"Men in black? Is the Man in Black again? Chang Feng shook his head and asked with a puzzled expression.

"I just saw a black shadow flickering by the window in the house, the black shadow was dressed in black, and it was very fast, and I had a hunch that he was just standing there staring at me." An Yiran was shocked, and raised her hand to the eaves tile roof and explained in detail.

"I just entered the girl's courtyard and didn't see anything!" Chang Feng scratched the back of his head with a puzzled expression.

He was very confused at this time, a few days ago, Su Qianli also said that he saw the man in black haunting, and he searched and guarded this courtyard for a few days according to the order of the sixth prince but saw nothing.

Today, An Yiran also said that she saw the man in black, so it seems that this Beijing suburb courtyard is afraid that someone will be targeted.

"No, what are you doing sneakily in my courtyard at night? It scared me! An Yiran clasped her hands to her chest and circled around Chang Feng, vigilantly observing his every move, and was deeply suspicious of his sudden appearance.

"It's that His Royal Highness was worried that the girl would be bored in this courtyard, so he ordered Chang Feng to send a book to relieve the girl's boredom, and His Royal Highness explained......" Chang Feng couldn't help but purse his lips and snicker halfway through speaking.

"What did your Highness explain?" An Yiran caught a glimpse of Chang Feng snickering, she narrowed her eyes and asked puzzled.

Chang Feng tried his best to restrain the snickering expression on his face, raised his hand and clenched his fist and coughed lightly on the side of his mouth, cleared his throat and continued to convey: "His Royal Highness told Miss An that she must read this book well and be a good person, and that the girl can live in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing with peace of mind during her stay in Beijing, so that she can be a companion with Miss Su and do not have to find a place to live." ”

Chang Feng took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to An Yiran, then turned to leave, he walked a few steps and turned back to An Yiran and said: "Miss An, don't worry, Chang Feng will be guarding the safety of you and Miss Su in this Beijing suburb courtyard these few nights, you can sleep in peace!" ”

After speaking, Chang Feng immediately slipped away and disappeared from An Yiran's sight.

An Yiran took the books sent by Chang Feng, returned to the house, closed the wooden door, and then walked to the bed and put the books down at will, she lifted the quilt, took off her coat, and lay down on the bed to prepare to sleep.

As a result, she tossed and turned for a long time without sleep, and the picture of the man in black appearing tonight always came to her mind, and she was in an unfamiliar environment, so she couldn't really feel at ease.

When she left home and was in danger, she realized how happy she was at home, no matter what happened, someone would come forward to clean up the mess for her, but now she can only face all her fears alone, and there is no turning back!

An Yiran turned over in an irritable mood, she couldn't stand it anymore, she had no choice but to sit up, looking at the darkness outside the curtain, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

She suddenly remembered that Chang Feng had just sent a book, and thought that maybe she could read the book and meditate, so she picked up the book from behind the bed and took a closer look, the word "female virtue" was written on the book cover.

An Yiran frowned, full of puzzlement, she didn't know the sixth prince, and she only had one life-saving grace, why did he give her this book, could it be that he was hinting at her?

Could it be because she was not reserved enough in front of the thieves that day, so that the six princes couldn't see it?

She turned the first page with deep doubts and saw that it was written: Female virtues should follow women's morals, not speak wildly, not be arrogant and unreasonable, be safe and self-contained, and be cautious in words and deeds......

An Yiran read the content of the book, and cold sweat broke out on the corners of her forehead, which was clearly accusing her, asking her to follow the woman's way and not be arrogant and rude.

She closed the book with some indignation, pursed her lips, and held her chin with both hands to study it carefully, she couldn't figure out where she had displeased the sixth prince, why he didn't know her, but he wanted to humiliate her with such a book?

Obviously, the six princes in Su Qianli's mouth should be a gentle and polite person, why did he suddenly send this book to warn her? Isn't it Chang Feng's handiwork?

The more An Yiran thought about it, the more she felt that it was impossible, the Chang Feng she saw was that kind of humble person, and it was impossible for him to dare to use such a trick against her.

What's more, forgive him for his ten guts, he didn't dare to humiliate a girl who didn't have much of a holiday in the name of his master, so the most likely person was another person who had a head-on conflict with her, and he was also the personal guard "Lin Shen" who was also on the side of the six princes.

She had a relationship with "Lin Shen" in Xizhou that day, and she felt that this person seemed to be the kind of person who could speak completely in front of people, not as docile and humble as Chang Feng.

Xu said bad things about him in front of Chang Feng today, which reached his ears, so he went to the six princes to complain, so the six princes had a bad impression of her, so they sent Chang Feng this book, wanting to warn her to be a more peaceful person.

An Yiran speculated a lot in her heart, thinking that this was a very reasonable explanation, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the culprit was "Lin Shen"!

She threw the book aside angrily, and hated that "Lin Shen" for no reason in her heart, she really didn't expect that he was not only graceless, but also such a villain, and went to sue her in front of the six princes.

She instantly made up her mind in her heart: if she saw him again next time, she would definitely fight back......

……

A few days later early in the morning

Rows of red walls and green tiles shone on the streets of the streets, lined with shops and pedestrians, and the sound of shouting and shouting was everywhere, and the hot wind reflected the bustle of the city.

An Yiran entered Beijing for the first time, she looked extremely happy sitting in the carriage, the joy and excitement was indescribable, she kept looking at the lively scene outside the carriage window, the corners of her mouth were grinning, curved into a crescent moon, and her eyes were full of infinite curiosity.

The banners of the shops fluttering on the heights, the endless flow of people of cars and horses, and the various shops, teahouses and taverns crowded with customers on both sides of the street all show the prosperity of Beijing that is different from Xizhou.

Although Xizhou City has a lot of trade, it is never as powerful as the bustle and prosperity of Beijing, which is the most prosperous city in Nanyue after all.

Chang Feng drove the carriage to a vacant place on the side of the street and stopped, Su Qianli and An Yiran put it down and ordered: "Miss Su, Miss An, Chang Feng will send you two here, and when you two are done, I will come back to pick you up." ”

"It's hard work! Then let's go shopping first and see you later! Su Qianli thanked her gently.

"Chang Feng, thank you, let's go first!" An Yiran also thanked Chang Feng, and then followed Su Qianli, and the two of them went to the downtown area of Beijing to take them away.

An Yiran followed Su Qianli's side closely, for fear that she would lose her if she was not careful.

At this moment, the downtown of Beijing is all a novelty in An Yiran's eyes, and there are many small vendors on both sides of the street, selling some rouge gouache and vermilion jewelry.

The two walked around one stall after another, and An Yiran was full of joy when they saw it, after all, she was a girl's family and had a beauty-loving nature.

"Ran'er, you walk around here, wait for me, I'll go over there first to buy some ingredients, and I'll be back soon!" Qianli looked at the commotion and crowd in front of her, felt inconvenient to bring An Yiran to squeeze over, thought for a while, and thoughtfully admonished her.

"Sister Ali, let's go together! I don't know the road in Beijing, and I don't know where to go, so I might as well go with you to buy ingredients, and I can help you carry some things and share some heavy loads. An Yiran felt that she was aimless when she came here, and she didn't know where to go, and at the same time she was worried that she would be separated from Su Qianli.

"There are too many people over there, and it's just crowded when you go together, it's not very convenient to move, so it's better to stay here and wait for me first!" Qianli pointed to the avenue in front of the crowded row of shops in front of her, and disagreed with An Yiran going together.

"Alright then, Sister Ali, then I'll stay here and wait for you, and you'll come back here to meet me after you finish purchasing the ingredients." An Yiran looked in the direction that Su Qianli was pointing and found that the front was exactly what she said, so she didn't insist anymore, agreed to Su Qianli's proposal, and stopped in place to watch Su Qianli squeeze into the crowd.

An Yiran sighed helplessly, feeling that she was in an unfamiliar place at the moment, like a headless fly, she didn't know where to go, she wanted to come to Beijing to find a place for herself, but the current situation seems that she is still more suitable to stay in the Beijing Palace, after all, it is extremely dangerous for her to live alone in Beijing as a girl, and it is safest to stay in the Beijing Suburb Hospital with Su Qianli as a companion.

Just as she was standing alone in the same place, there was a noise from the crowd in front of her, and the source of the sound was densely surrounded by a dense crowd, as if something bad had happened.

Driven by curiosity, An Yiran approached the crowd step by step, trying to squeeze into the crowd and standing in the front row to inspect the situation.

Then she saw a dirty little boy lying on the ground in the middle, who was estimated to be six or seven years old, and beside him stood a reckless man with a thick beard on his mouth.

The reckless man had a fierce look on his face, a long whip in his hand, and struck the dirty little boy on the ground with a terrible look, and the little boy was frightened, crying and begging for mercy, and there were countless shocking whip marks on his arms, and there were some showmanship tools in front of him.

The onlookers are all coldly watching, when the show is watching, no one is willing to come forward to stop, let the reckless man whip the poor little boy, the harder he whips, the more excited several men next to him, have shouted loudly, there are a few onlookers who deliberately threw out a few copper coins, saying that this show is very exciting!

The reckless man's whip gravity whipped on the little boy looked extremely cruel and ruthless......

An Yiran couldn't stand such a cruel scene anymore, she bravely shouted to the reckless man in front of her: "Stop! Why did you whip this child so cruelly? ”
