[Ji Tao: You are still young, you don't understand many things, I believe you will understand them one by one in the future. 】

A room in an inn in town

"How is she?" A young man dressed in a red costume sat at a round table in the middle of the room and asked lightly.

"Back to Your Highness, she should wake up soon." It was Ji Tao who responded to the man, he still held the folding fan as always, and just walked out of the room.

"That's good, you got her out of there this time." The man breathed a sigh of relief, got up and patted Ji Tao on the shoulder to show his gratitude.

"Yes, Your Highness has also seen it, is it sure this time?" Ji Tao smiled modestly, it was unlikely that he would go directly to find the person who was rescued by the ethereal space. And when he arrived, it was too late, so he had to find someone who was unconscious on the side of the road and bring it back and find someone to treat him.

"I'm sure, the eyebrows, the face shape can't be wrong, the eyebrows are so similar, it's really you and his child." The man in red nodded and confirmed, the second half of the sentence didn't seem like he was talking to Ji Tao, his thoughts gradually remembered the past.

In the past, the three of them were playmates who grew up together, and the time was good, the three of them laughed and cried together, but later, as the three of them became adults, some feelings slowly began to change. Obviously, she loves her as much as he does, but she didn't expect that in the end, she didn't choose herself, but chose him, is it just because she is the identity of the prince?

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Ji Tao's call interrupted the memories of the man in red, he put away his thoughts, and looked at the person lying on the bed in the room again, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, was it angry, reluctant, or unforgettable? Maybe he doesn't even know what he's thinking in his heart, and some things that should have been put down have always been difficult to let go.

"I'll leave it to you here, I'd better not see her for a while." The man in red turned his head and ordered, turned around and raised his feet to leave, and then turned back to Ji Tao and said as if he thought of something: "You can say my name, and you know what to say about the rest, the old place is waiting for you." ”

"Yes."

After seeing the man in red leave, Ji Tao leaned against the window and watched the flow of people coming and going on the street outside, a little bored. I couldn't tell what he was thinking on his expressionless face, and his right hand slowly opened the folding fan and slowly fanned the wind, not how hot he was, but sometimes he needed something to hide it.

"Uh... The person in the bed in the inner room finally woke up. As soon as Shizoran opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, he was instantly vigilant, but his head still hurt and he accidentally made a small movement.

"Hey, you're awake?" Ji Tao heard the small movement and immediately came in from outside, and saw Xiran struggling to get out of bed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Uh... How are you? Xi Ran looked at Ji Tao who suddenly appeared in front of her, her face was full of doubts, she thought that Xue Liyue had saved her.

"I also happened to be passing by, and I saw that you were unconscious on the side of the road, and there were no friends of yours around, so I took you to this inn and found someone to help you treat it."

Ji Tao had already thought about how to answer, but it was true, it was too late when he arrived, and he didn't expect that Shizoran would be able to leave that kind of place by himself, but Shizoan also paid a great price, and he was unconscious on the side of the road, so he brought her for treatment.

"Hey, how can there be such a coincidence? Wouldn't you be in the same league as Xueman? "Even if Xiran's head hurts again, she doesn't believe that she was rescued by him so coincidentally? The tone was hostile.

"Did you do that to your savior?" When Ji Tao heard this, he was a little unhappy, he didn't care to be with those people, got up and poured a glass of water for Xiran, and handed it over.

"Thanks, who the hell are you?" Shizoan took the water cup gratefully, and quickly drank a few sips, he was indeed a little thirsty, and his throat was dry to numbness.

"I knew you would ask that, so I'll tell you it's okay, but you have to keep it a secret, and you can't tell anyone." Ji Tao looked like I had expected it a long time ago, pulled a chair over, sat down, looked at Xi Ran who was sitting on the edge of the bed and said.

"Absolutely." Xi Ran didn't want to agree immediately, it is true that as of now, except for Xi Ran knowing Ji Tao's various behaviors, no one else knows, and she hasn't had time to tell Xue Liyue.

"Okay, then let me tell you, my identity is a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Xingnuo Empire. This time I came to save you, and it was also ordered by His Highness. ”

"Huh?" Shizome was a little skeptical if he had heard it wrong? Can such an inconspicuous person as she be taken by the prince and help her several times and save her? For a moment, Shizoan felt that Ji Tao was not a bad person, at least judging from the things he had done, he had been secretly helping Shizoe.

"You heard it right, it's His Royal Highness the Prince, all of this is just His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trying to help his fifth brother." Ji Tao expected that Xiran would definitely be suspicious, and affirmed again.

"Fifth brother? Xue Liyue? Shizome suddenly felt that the amount of information he had received when he woke up was a bit large.

"That's right, I think what happened recently, you can also see that the intrigue in the royal family is very cruel, either you die or I die. The relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Five Princes has always been very good, and His Royal Highness became the Prince after the support of the Five Princes, and now His Royal Highness of course wants to secretly help the Five Princes become Prince Xue. Ji Tao roughly told the reason for this, trying to dispel Xiran's doubts.

"Is that so?" Xi Ran thought of Xue Liyue's words before, and didn't realize that he would have any good brothers, and the sudden appearance of a prince really made Xi Ran unbelievable for a while.

"I know you're having a hard time believing it right now. It's because you've experienced too little, and you don't understand something, and it's understandable not to understand. All you need to know is that we will secretly help you and help the Five Princes succeed in becoming the Snow Prince. But it's good that you know for yourself, don't tell him. Ji Tao gently patted Xiran's leg with a folding fan, and said meaningfully.

Xiran nodded a little woodenly, and agreed to it, but the brows that did not stretch meant that Xiran was still pondering Ji Tao's words.

"Okay, you're safe now, then I'll leave first, I've already paid for this room, you can stay here for a few more days, and then leave after you are well adjusted."

After Ji Tao finished speaking, he got up and put the chair back in its place, opened the folding fan with a wave of his hand and fanned it a few times to leave the room, stopped when he walked to the door, and said, "You can check the wooden box when you have time." With that, he opened the door and walked away.

"Hey!" There were still many questions that Xiran didn't have time to ask, and there was no trace of Ji Tao when he looked up. She couldn't help but rub her temples with her hands, and she felt like her head was almost no longer her own. More and more mysteries appeared in front of her, which made her very upset, and she couldn't figure it out.

Two days later

Xiran has recovered well after a few days of conditioning, it really took a lot of money for her to come out of that ethereal space, it was a miracle to be rescued, and it happened that the rental period of her room had also arrived, looking at the note left by Ji Tao on the table, she really wanted to cry without tears.

This person really thought about everything, and estimated that he would recover almost today, and the rent would be paid today. And in the past few days, he has sent people to deliver food and drink, and the doctor has come to check her physical condition every day, which is also arranged by him.

All this made her have a good impression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had never shown her face, and she was not so hostile to Ji Tao, at least she should not put the dagger on his neck again next time she saw him.

Thinking about it, Xiran got up and stretched, looked at the big sun outside the window, a few white clouds slowly floating in the blue sky, smiled comfortably, the whole person was much refreshed, cleaned up, and left the inn, she had to hurry back to the ancient mansion, disappeared for so many days, it is estimated that the big ice cube will be in a hurry, and the Xuan Lie Emperor will not make any trouble, right?

Shizome was walking on the street when she was suddenly stopped, and she stopped, happy in her heart.

"Xiao Ran, is that you?"
