"Proud of what?" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at his eyes like smoke, frowned and asked softly.

"Actually, you don't have to be complacent!" Ruyan raised her chin arrogantly, and glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu at the end of her eyes, "I have been by the side of Shizi since I was fourteen years old, and there have been many women around Shizi over the years, they are either outstanding, talented, or peerless in martial arts, what do you think is the purpose of Shizi letting you stay by your side?" ”

"Yellowstone Book of Heaven?" Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you want to say about this?" I understand your conversation with him just now, so I don't need you to remind him again! ”

Ruyan snorted: "You don't seem surprised at all, it seems that you have known about this matter for a long time, or it was your plan to approach the prince in the name of "Huangshi Heavenly Book", so what is your purpose?" ”

"You are indeed a very smart girl, it seems that Zhao Ling will let you stay by your side for a reason!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "But I have two things I want to tell you, one is that it is not that your family asked me to stay by his side, but that I agreed to let him stay by my side, and second, it is not your turn to ask about my affairs." If you want to continue to stay under the hands of your family, be honest, don't make any more moths for me, I don't want to happen a second time what happened in the Yangliu Pavilion last time, if you make me unhappy, I believe that Zhao Ling will not disagree! ”

"You!" Ruyan bit her lip angrily, "Do you really think of yourself as my master?" You can try it and see if the prince will get rid of me for you. You probably don't know it, but the first woman in the world was my sister, and my sister died for him, and he promised my sister that she would take care of me! Although you and Shizi are childhood sweethearts, I don't deny that Shizi has a little bit of friendship with you when he was a child, but for Shizi, my sister is the woman he will never forget in his life! ”

"Really?" Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was as if she was ravaged by someone's tiny needle, and the shadow of the branch cast on her face, covering all the expressions on her face, only to hear her faint smile, "I only care about how many women are around him, and I don't care about how many women I have in my heart, and I don't want to care!" If you really want me to try it in front of Zhao Ling, I won't mind! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu returned to the room, and Yan Yan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, are you okay?" What did that smoke say to you? ”

"It's nothing, but no matter what she says, it won't affect me!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, the smile on the corner of his mouth quickly disappeared, and his face showed some sadness. There are memories of childhood between her and Zhao Ling, and there are also ten years of gaps, what has he experienced in the past ten years?

In the cold water, Zhao Yan felt that his breathing was gradually becoming difficult, the shore seemed to be in front of him, but it seemed to be far away in the sky, no matter how hard he swam and swam, it was as if he couldn't reach the shore.

He stopped and looked at the woman dragging behind him, her eyes closed, her face a little pale, her wet hair sticking to her face like algae, and she didn't know if she was still breathing.

"Are you still alive?" Zhao Yan asked tiredly, I don't know why, I especially don't want this woman to die like this.

The woman's closed eyes suddenly opened, her eyes were unusually bright, and the corners of her mouth flashed with a bewitching smile, and she grabbed Zhao Yan and pulled him into the water together.

Zhao Yan suddenly woke up from his dream, and exhaled a long breath, it was not the first time he had dreamed of that woman, it was strange, since he saved that woman from the Huai River that day, why did he dream of her three times?

He glanced at the sky, it was already dawn, the light of the morning sun peeked in through the gap in the window, dividing the room into two unusually clear areas of light and dark, there was a burst of laughter outside the window, he got up and came to the window, and looked outside, it turned out that it was a few girls kicking shuttlecocks in the yard.

He grew up in the deep palace, and the women in the palace were pressed by the strict palace rules, even if she was a princess, from the time she was born, she had grown up in the frame made of rules, and finally became a dignified and beautiful porcelain doll who didn't know how to express her joy and anger, or these women who grew up outside the palace were good, wanton and lively, this is what a girl should look like.

Zhao Yan listened to the laughter of the girls like silver bells, and suddenly felt in a good mood, but her eyes were locked on the woman next to the pillar, she didn't participate, she just looked at it with a hint of envy, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She stood there quietly, unremarkable in her appearance, and would even submerge her into the pile of maids. But when she looked closely, it was a little different, with a sense of coldness that was incompatible with this world, and this coldness made the smile on the corner of her mouth become deliberate. But she's not useless, at least those eyes are extremely bright, just like ...... It's the same as in my dreams.

Jiang Xiaoyu, you are really an incomprehensible person!

Although he was resting in another courtyard, Zhao Yan was active by nature, so he naturally wouldn't hang with the girls, and listened to small songs with Zhao Qian, so he took Zhao Ling to the back mountain to hunt.

Not only did they not come back, but none of the guards and subordinates who went out with them came back, so that everyone in the courtyard was anxious. Although the back mountain has been cleaned up, there will be no fierce beasts, but after all, the wild forest, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fish that will slip through the net, and nothing will happen to them, right?

The county lord of Qiwen had already sent several groups of people to look for her, Lin Ruoruo looked anxious when she looked at her, and persuaded: "I have lived here for several years, and I have never heard of a beast infested, Sister Qiwen, don't worry, they are just delayed by something!" And the Second Highness and the prince are so good at martial arts, it will be okay at all! ”

Zhao Qian sat on the rocking chair, shaking his paper fan, and there were two maids in front of him who were beating her legs, he closed his eyes and said lazily: "Hehe, these two people are interesting, in a few months it will be time for the royal hunting, and the scale of the royal hunting ground can actually be compared with such a small forest?" Don't exert your strength during the royal hunt, but get lost in this small forest, and you're not afraid of people's jokes! ”

The county lord of Qiwen kicked on Zhao Qian's chair and scolded: "If you don't go to find someone, it's just that you're still talking about the wind and cold!" ”

At this time, the group of people who first went to Zhao Ling and them came back, and said with a frightened face: "A lot of blood stains were found in the woods, but no trace of the second prince and the prince was found!" ”

"Bloodstains!" At this moment, even Zhao Qian couldn't sit still, "Did you find anything else?" Are there any traces of a fight? ”

"A few arrows were found on the trunk of the tree, and there were scratches on the trunk, which looked like there were traces of a fight with a beast!" The next person said.

"Beasts? Is there really a beast here? It's really strange, it's been more than ten years since this Canghao Mountain became a royal palace, and this is the first time I've heard of it! Zhao Qian closed the fan, "Go and call a few more people, and this king will go in person!" ”

"I'll go with you!" Qiwen said.

Ruyan, who had been worried but silent, hurriedly said, "I'm going too!" ”

"You all stay!" Zhao Qian said simply, "All the women are left, we still don't know what the beast is?" Are there any other things that you are going to do? Do you cause trouble for this king? Leave it all for me! ”

"King Jin, I'll take someone there!" Lin Xuan said, "There should always be someone to take care of here, a room of women, how can you do without a man to protect you!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, he immediately led people to set off.

The group continued to wait anxiously with their own thoughts, and the people prepared the meal, but no one had an appetite.

The sun was sinking and the moonlight was getting thicker, but there was no news yet, Lin Ruoruo began to cry quietly: "It's all my fault, if I didn't have to invite Sister Jiang to come to Cangyun Villa together, then Brother Ling and the second prince wouldn't have come here, then they wouldn't have had an accident!" ”

"Shizi has always done things safely, he knows that so many of us are waiting for his news, he will definitely send someone to inform him, now I haven't received any news, it can only mean that Shizi's situation is very urgent, I can't wait any longer, I have to find him!" Ruyan said worriedly, then got up and walked outside the house, her face reflected in the orange light was extraordinarily resolute.

"Stop, how do you think your ability compares to Zhao Ling's personal guard?" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "We don't know the situation outside, it's dark outside, the best way is to wait in place, I'm not worried about you going back to die, I just don't want you to trouble us again, you know that the current situation is not ordinary, I don't want us to need to send people to look for you!" ”

"The prince is also your fiancé, and his life and death are uncertain now, aren't you in a hurry at all? Is your blood cold? Ruyan bit her lip and said, "The prince is wrong, you are not worthy of the prince at all!" ”

"In your eyes, I naturally have a hundred and a thousand reasons why I am not worthy of Zhao Ling!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "I don't want to have these senseless disputes with you, what I just want to tell you is that I have confidence in Zhao Ling, and I know his ability, if this little thing can make him unable to get out, he will not be the Zhao Ling I know." Ruyan girl, I can understand your worries, but please calm down and give Zhao Ling a little more confidence! ”

"Alas!" Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling, this blessing of Qi people is not something that anyone can enjoy, you better come back quickly, in case these two women fight, I can't resist it!" ”

Lord Qiwen had been waiting outside the house, and suddenly there was a scream: "Look, what is that!" ”

Everyone was startled and hurried out to take a look, only to see a glowing insect flying in their direction, like a star.
