Chapter 7: I will make a promise to myself
He looked at the golden hairpin on the woman's abdomen, which was still glowing with cold light, and at her dress, which had been stained red with blood, and his heart was touched a lot.
He is not stupid, how many winds and waves have he seen, the whole thing has been passed in his mind, and he has probably guessed her thoughts:
I'm afraid that she wants to exchange her innocence for her own life, and she didn't think that she would be able to survive after this...... But she and herself are just a relationship with Pingshui, and it is obvious that she can not make this deal with them......
The rain outside the cave was still dripping, Qiao Tianshuo closed his eyes and pursed the corners of his lips: he couldn't remember the last time he was protected by someone like this......
"Take the people back and take good care of them."
The head of the guard didn't dare to think about what entanglement this girl had with his own prince, but he didn't dare to disobey, and bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
When Yan Minglan woke up, several days had passed since the accident, and the wound on her abdomen had begun to scab over under the careful care of the doctors.
She looked at the carved beams and paintings on the roof, and couldn't react for a while, as if going to sea, escaping, and saving people were all a dream, and now she woke up from the dream, and she was still in the Yan family, in fact, she hadn't even gone out of the gate.
"Are you awake?" The man's voice pulled her back to reality.
Yan Minglan turned her head and looked at the foreign man who was walking slowly, and then all the pain and disasters she had experienced poured into her mind at the same time, and when she closed her eyes again, two lines of tears crossed her pale cheeks.
"My name is Qiao Tianshuo, and I am the prince of the South China Sea." Qiao Tianshuo was dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with pure black embroidered gold thread, sitting on the edge of the bed with a golden sword, and his hands that were accustomed to holding long swords were now holding delicate porcelain bowls, which contained pitch-black medicinal juices.
He scooped out a spoonful from it, blew it carefully, and sent it to Yan Minglan's mouth, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”
Yan Minglan frowned slightly, looking at the person in front of him who claimed to be the prince taking care of himself so carefully, and felt a little worried in his heart: "Yan Minglan - thank you for saving the prince." ”
Qiao Tianshuo rolled the name "Yan Minglan" around the tip of his tongue, and then the corners of his mouth on his unsmiling face raised slightly: "Good name - what is there to thank you, you saved me twice, I only saved you once, so converted, I owe you once." ”
Yan Minglan just wanted to speak, but her eyes widened in surprise by Qiao Tianshuo's next words.
"The last time I said a promise, it wasn't a whim." He put down the porcelain bowl and pulled a red rope out of his neck.
At the other end of the red rope hangs a jade pendant.
Yan Minglan has gone to sea many times with her parents, and she has never seen this kind of top-notch goods a few times, but she is not unrecognizable. And to be able to be put close to the prince like this must be something rare.
"This is what my queen mother left me to give to the future princess, and now that I have decided to make a personal promise, this should naturally be kept by you as well." Qiao Tianshuo held the jade pendant on his fingertips and handed it to Yan Minglan.
- In fact, he was also very worried in his heart, he was actually a little afraid, afraid that she would reject him.
Just when Yan Minglan didn't know how to respond, the maidservant girl who was sent to take care of her saw this scene, and the copper basin in her hand fell to the ground instantly.
The water was scattered all over the ground, and she knelt on the ground in a panic, her trembling fingers curled up: "King, lord, leave these tasks of taking care of people to the slaves and maids." ”
Qiao Tianshuo was displeased, put away the jade pendant for the time being, turned around and frowned, and said in an indifferent tone: "You might as well, you can step back." ”
