Walking alone on the dark streets in the heavy rain was not enough to make Situ Youning afraid, but she wanted to take this opportunity to breathe in the air outside the house. Hesitating in the heavy rain, there were almost no people on the street, she took off her outer cover and held it on her head with both hands, and jumped into one puddle after another with great interest.

"Hee-hee..." Her laughter can still be heard clearly in the sound of heavy rain.

The rain began to slowly become smaller, and suddenly her eyes focused on a big puddle in the alley on the left, and showed a satisfied smile for a while.

The puddle in the alley seemed to be a little big, Situ Youning looked down at the new clothes that Shen Jiayan gave her, which was originally well-behaved and fresh pale green, but now almost all of them were soaked in muddy water, she stuck out her tongue, anyway, it is good to put all the fault on the second brother today, thinking of this, she mustered up the courage to jump into the big pit in front of her, but she tripped over the things in the pit and fell to the ground, and her face just fell into the muddy water.

"Ouch! Ahem..."

When Situ Youning struggled to stand up and kicked the unknown object in the pit a few times, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, because what appeared in front of him was a human face.

Could it be a dead body? Situ Youning closed his eyes and leaned his back against the wall to bypass the puddle and prepare to flee back to the main street, but in his mind, he remembered what his eldest brother said, "Looking at the comrades who died on the battlefield, my heart is really very uncomfortable, Youning, can you really withstand the fear of being full of dead bodies in front of you?" ”

Thinking of this, Situ Youning opened his eyes, turned around and walked towards the embarrassing big puddle, frowned and glanced at the faces in the puddle, a familiar feeling arose, but Situ Youning couldn't remember to see this person in the proof place.

She took a deep breath, slowly crouched down to observe the situation of the man in front of her, grabbed the clothes on his shoulders with trembling hands, and dragged him out of the puddle with great force.

"Hey, are you alright?" Saying that, she patted the man's cold cheek vigorously, seeing that the man did not react, she used the method taught by Xiao Yujing to check the man's pulse, and then breathed a sigh of relief, after carefully examining the man's situation, she found that the man's right chest was stabbed by a sharp sword, although the muddy water basically covered his bloodstains, but if you look closely, you can still find it.

"I have to find a way to get him out of here, or it's going to be dangerous." Considering that the person who stabbed the man would continue to chase him, Situ Youning had to find a way to get him out of here now, but it was obvious that her strength alone was not enough, so she quickly ran back to the main street and 'borrowed' the cart in the stable, which she had just passed.

The rain began to fall again, and she covered the cart with her coat over the man, shakily pushing the carriage to where she thought it was most appropriate.

"Xi'er! Xi'er! Open the door. ”

Xi'er is Situ Shaoqi's personal maidservant, she is deeply loved by Situ Shaoqi because of her opportunistic style and smart head, when did she enter the mansion, Situ Youning has no impression, only knows that as soon as she appears, Situ Youning has something that needs to be dealt with, and she is always very relieved to rely on her, she does not live in the mansion like other maidservants, but lives alone in a simple courtyard in the west of the city.

After a while, Xi'er opened the door and looked at Situ Youning who was drenched in front of her with a full face, "Miss, it's so late, do you have any special instructions for coming here in person with this honor?" ”

Situ Youning gasped for breath and was speechless for a while.

"Do you want to borrow an umbrella? Xi'er will go and help you get it. With that, he calmly turned around and walked back into the house.

"Xi'er," Situ Youning grabbed her and pointed to the cart behind him.

handed over the man to Xi'er, and when she returned home, it was already early time, but fortunately, in the past two days, Shen Jiayan and Situ Chenfeng's attention shifted to Situ Zifan and Xiao Yujing, and Situ Shaoqi also stayed home at night many times due to busy official business, so she returned to the room safely, and after a few perfunctory words of green plum, she took a bath and rested.

The next day, when she was about to take Xiao Yujing to see the man's injury, the unexpected incident that surprised her not so much still happened, looking at Feng Yumo standing at the door, the words she said in front of him yesterday were repeated over and over again in her mind, but what she didn't expect was that Feng Yumo didn't say a word on the way to take her to the palace, except for closing her eyes and recuperating, Situ Youning's coughing sound from time to time would occasionally attract his puzzled gaze.

When Situ Youning got out of the carriage, he heard a faint sentence, 'Be careful in everything.' Then the carriage went off into the distance.

"Youning, you're here." Just as Situ Youning was saluting, Liu Che pulled her to his side and pointed to a large pile of exquisite objects on the table, "These are all tributes that the minister paid above the court this morning, pick a few of your favorites." ”

Situ Youning was stunned for a moment, "How could I possibly like these things, Your Majesty..." If Niu Er really wants to give me something, you can consider a book or a knife or something. ”

"Hehe..." Liu Che shook his head, picked up a delicate jade bracelet on the table, and took Situ Youning's hand, "This is a gift from me as the Son of Heaven of the Great Han." As he spoke, he put the jade bracelet in Situ Youning's hand.

Situ Youning began to wonder when to treat the person in front of him as Niu Er, and when to treat him as the emperor again, "Then the people's daughter will thank the emperor." ”

"Didn't you say that you would call me Niu Er when there were no outsiders?"

Situ Youning frowned, his mind began to mess up, there are indeed no outsiders now, but why did the identity of the emperor appear just now? The emperor's thinking is really different from that of an ordinary person like Situ Youning.

After that, Situ Youning's doubts quickly dissipated in the political affairs that Liu Che talked about with him, including the great achievements of the eldest brother and the third brother, after dinner, Situ Youning was ready to resign to Liu Che with a satisfied face, but Liu Che held her hands before this.

"Huh?" Situ Youning tried to break free of her hands, but she was held tighter, she raised her head helplessly to look at Liu Che, and shouted tentatively, "Your Majesty? Niu Er? ”

"Your eldest brother and second brother are indeed my right-hand men, and it would be even better if you could be by my side as well, do you say? Youning. Liu Che's expression at this time was completely different from Niu Er's, his face was serious, and the deterrence and possessiveness revealed in his eyes made Situ Youning tremble.

“···” Situ Youning didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only stand in place in a panic.

"Youning, don't you like me?" As he spoke, he lowered his head and leaned towards Situ Youning with affection.

"Ahh Looking at Liu Che who was approaching, Situ Youning used all his strength to break free of him, and quickly took a few steps back, now she was almost schizophrenic by Liu Che's emperor and Niu Er, me and me.

Situ Youning's behavior completely angered Liu Che, and he flipped the wine glass on the table in a fit of rage.

"The stronger the enemy, the less it should be to mess with itself." The eldest brother's teaching appeared in Situ Youning's mind at this urgent moment, she controlled her trembling body, puffed up her chest and said, "Your Majesty, I just inadvertently saved your life, and I also made you so embarrassed halfway, these shouldn't be the reasons why you like me, or the emperor should think about it calmly?" After saying these words in one breath, Situ Youning nervously waited for Liu Che's reaction.

Liu Che turned his back to Situ Youning, and did not turn to look at her, his fists were clenched, and the figure of Situ Youning when he climbed over the wall and was about to jump into the backyard surrounded by fire appeared in his mind that night, he closed his eyes and whispered, "It's not early, you go back." ”

As soon as the words came out, Situ Youning disappeared into the dormitory. She trotted all the way to the palace gate quickly, and originally wanted to say goodbye to Niu Er's man, but in this case, it was better not to be troubled.

A few clusters of lights suddenly appeared in front of him, and in the dim light, he could vaguely see a group of people walking towards him, Situ Youning looked around, there was no place to hide, so he stood in place with his head down, and it didn't take long for the crowd to stop in front of her, and when she raised her head curiously, she found that surrounded by several palace maids, the woman sitting on the sedan chair was going up and down a lot of herself, and the woman's eyes were full of anger.
