"That's enough, Arashi."

Suddenly someone else's voice came from above my head, and my heart trembled, could there be anyone else?

I hurriedly opened my eyes and saw the prince standing not far away, his expression was still like a pool of still water, calm and calm, just looking at me with a little appreciation in his eyes.

The man who had been called released from my neck, put away his sword, and walked to the prince.

I sat up with great difficulty, and just as I was about to ask what was going on, the prince had already come to my side and picked me up, and I was suddenly shocked in my heart, and suddenly I was so close to the man that I was frightened like a rabbit seeing a wolf, and buried my head in his chest in panic, so that no one could see the hot flush on my face at the moment.

I heard him chuckle and felt his lips in my ear, whispering, "I never thought that someone as bold as you could be shy." ”

I was faintly unhappy because of his ridicule, but because he was the prince, I didn't dare to lose my temper with him, so I had to endure it myself.

He carried me for a long time and did not reach the destination, my originally tense body gradually softened, and I smelled a faint mint fragrance on his body, although it was light but it smelled good. I suddenly wanted to see where I was now, but after all, I was in the arms of the crown prince, and I really didn't dare to move, so I kept hiding in his arms, and gradually became sleepy.

When I woke up, I was no longer in his arms, but lying on a wooden shelf bed with openwork plum blossoms, and a goose-yellow soft tent hanging in front of the bed, gently swaying with the wind outside the window. There is also a faint mint fragrance in the room, which makes people feel cool and refreshing.

"Awake?"

A voice came from not far away, and I turned my head to see that the prince was walking towards me, and he took the curtain and took my hand to take my pulse.

I wanted to get up and salute him, but he stopped me, "This is outside the palace, there is no need to be polite." ”

Hearing his words, I lay down on the bed with peace of mind. When I think about what happened before I fell unconscious, I still have doubts in my mind. He seemed to see through my thoughts, and before I could ask, he said: "Ning Xiao is the dark guard I cultivated, before you, there has never been a precedent for a woman to do things in Ning Xiao, since you are an exception, some people will not be convinced, so I asked Lan Zhi to test your reflexes, so as to block the mouths of the people." ”

I realized, no wonder Lan Zhi, as the crown prince, would have been entangled with me for so long when he killed me, if he was serious, I was afraid that I would have died a long time ago.

I looked around, and the furnishings in the house were very ordinary, not unlike the rooms in ordinary people's homes. I looked at the prince and asked, "Where is this?" ”

"Ning Xiao." Finally, he added, "This is your room." ”

I tried to sit up, but my limbs were a little weak, and he seemed to see my intentions, so he reached out and helped me to sit up.

"Thank you, too..."

Before I could finish my sentence, he interrupted me: "Ning Xiao is unknown. ”

I was stunned for a moment, then understood his words, and quickly changed my words: "Thank you, Childe." ”

Ning Xiao is the secret guard he built privately, and he didn't intend to let the emperor know, so the prince of the East Palace didn't know about Ning Xiao's existence, and the leader of Ning Xiao was naturally not the prince of the East Palace.

But I really don't understand, he is already a crown prince, and he is in charge of one-third of the military and political power of Ye State, so why should he establish such a secret guard?

I couldn't figure it out.

He settled me and left, and the smell of mint leaves in the room gradually dissipated with him leaving.

I slept very poorly that night, and I kept asking myself whether the decision to follow the prince was right or wrong, today was just a simple test for the prince, and the tasks he assigned to me in the future would only be more dangerous.

But if you think about it carefully, the eldest brother's rebellion has long been a certainty, the prince just found me first and asked me to come forward to testify, presumably even if I rejected him at that time, the prince would definitely have other ways to prove the eldest brother's rebellion, and at that time, I would also be implicated to death.

Thinking about it this way, it would be good if my life was saved by the prince, and besides, my name was also given by the prince, so it seems natural to serve him.

So far, I can only comfort myself like this. With a heavy sigh, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

As soon as it was light, there was already the sound of swords colliding outside, and my sleep was always very light, even though the sound was very slight through the wall, but I was still woken up.

So I got out of bed and walked to the window, and outside there was a group of young men in black armor, and they were fighting.

I was watching intently when suddenly I heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and I turned my head to look at the door.

Coming in from outside was an old woman in her forties, who was obviously stunned for a moment when she saw me standing in front of the window, but quickly smiled kindly: "Miss Zhuzhu has woken up." ”

I looked at her closely: her thin black and white hair, neatly combed back of her head, fixed in a bun with a simple silver hairpin, and wearing a long brown cloth dress with no patterns.

The tails of her eyes drooped a little, matching the sagging softness of her face. meat, the whole person looks more kind.

She came up to me and said, "The old slave was sent by the prince to serve you, and from now on, your life will be taken care of by the old slave." ”

I smiled at her, then bowed down and humbly saluted her, she seemed a little frightened, and quickly took my hand and said, "I can't help it." ”

I smiled and explained to her: "I am not here to enjoy happiness, but to train myself to do things for my son in the future, you are my elder, I should bow to you." ”

She listened to my words, looked at me with appreciation, raised a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to herself: "Childe really didn't see the wrong person. ”

I still smile.

Although she is only the person sent by the prince to take care of my daily life, after all, after all, she has a deeper level of seniority in Ning Xiao than me, and since I have come here, I should slowly win the hearts of most people, so that I can make it convenient for them to be used by me in the future.

After a moment of silence, she said again: "Miss Yizhu will go to eat first, the dining room is in the room opposite you, and the old slave will come back later." ”

I nodded and said very sensibly, "Okay, then mother-in-law, you can go and get busy first." ”

After she left, I took off my disguise, leaned against the wall as if relieved and sighed heavily, although I am still relaxed and leisurely at the moment, but I know that the training I am about to face must be very hard, I understand more that in addition to working hard to train myself, more importantly, I want the prince to see my use value, because only by holding the prince this big tree, can I really gain a firm foothold here, in order to have the opportunity to push my sister into the abyss.
