There is a slim woman standing at the mouth of the alley more than ten zhang away, who would it be if it wasn't Princess Qixia who Xu Rui had been hiding from and hadn't seen?

Princess Qixia wore a set of green dresses today, her eyebrows were shy, but she was radiant, like a green lotus out of the water, fresh and refined, which made people feel holy and adoring at first sight.

An Ge looked at Xu Rui, who was stunned, and glanced at Lin Shaodong, Lin Shaodong's long-thinking words couldn't be said after all, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but at this moment, he also knew that it was not the time to speak, so he hurriedly followed An Ge and left in a hurry, handing over the world to these two people.

Farther away, Cao Siyuan saw the two of them from a distance, sighed, and beckoned to the guards who were rushing to break the army, signaling everyone to retreat.

Everyone was very interested, but when Xu Rui came back to his senses, there was no half of a figure around.

He tried his best to resist the urge to rush up and hug Princess Qixia, subconsciously hid his violently spasmodic left hand behind him, and watched the woman who had been thinking about him step by step.

In order to forget her, Xu Rui put all the things to be done on the table during this time and kept himself busy.

He originally thought that in this way, he would not have time to think about her, and he would not regret it for the time being, and he would not feel distressed, or annoyed.

But when Princess Qixia appeared in front of her, it was like a sharp arrow falling from the sky, shattering all his disguises and efforts in an instant.

Princess Qixia walked towards him with a smile, every step seemed to be stepping on Xu Rui's heart, making his heart beat violently, the blood night continued to accelerate, and his body became hotter and hotter.

When she stopped in front of Xu Rui shyly, the fresh and natural fragrance penetrated into Xu Rui's nostrils, and all the sweet memories of the past instantly came to her heart.

Xu Rui was shocked, and couldn't help but want to be desperate, take the Yiren in front of him into his arms, and tell him how much he missed her.

But just as he was about to stretch out his hand, a hysterical cry suddenly came out of his head.

"No!! You can't! ”

This cry was like thunder, and it was like a fool's speech, even he couldn't tell whether it was illusion or reality, but it instantly awakened his reason and pushed away all the confused feelings.

"You...... How did you come......"

Xu Ruimu opened his mouth and asked a cold stupid word, and as soon as the words came out, he couldn't wait to slap himself hard.

It's not sad, the cold tone is like a basin of cold water, which extinguishes most of Princess Qixia's enthusiasm.

But Princess Qixia was already looking at him, and a flash of surprise gradually flashed in her eyes, because of the joy of meeting, as if she couldn't see enough of the person in front of her.

"I heard you're too busy to come and see me...... So, I wanted to make time...... Come and see you. ”

Princess Qixia said a little shyly, although this sentence was bland, but in Xu Rui's ears, she remembered and loved each other, but she didn't complain.

Xu Rui was ashamed and sad, but he was hard-hearted, and arched his hand towards Princess Qixia and said: "Yes, when I left Beijing, fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess helped to keep the Yuanchu base, but after I came back, I have been busy with official business, and I couldn't come to thank you in person, which is really rude." ”

He seemed to thank him, but his words were full of strangeness and alienation, and he cruelly pushed Princess Qixia out.

Princess Qixia's heart suddenly twitched, and her smile instantly froze on her face, and an indescribable heartache was like a wave, washing her a little out of breath.

After a moment of silence, she gradually recovered from her suffocation, and tried her best to squeeze out a natural smile and said: "Master Hou's words are serious, Qingwu is just a gesture, the gifts you sent have greatly exceeded what Qingwu did, to say that it is rude, it is also Qingwu's rudeness." ”

Xu Rui looked at Princess Qixia's reddish eyes, how he didn't know that she was tormented in her heart, but he couldn't comfort him anymore, gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "What His Royal Highness has done is righteousness, for the country and the people, no matter how much you are rewarded, it is not enough to express ......."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Qixia's heart was even more sad, and she blurted out: "Master Hou is serious again, Qingwu is not as selfless as you say, and he does his best, and it is definitely not for righteousness, but just for one person." ”

Xu Rui's heart was shocked, and he almost couldn't control his emotions, so he quickly bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake.

"Yes...... Is it? I wonder who the princess is talking about? ”

When Princess Qixia heard this, a trace of deep disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She turned her head, unwilling to let Xu Rui see the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, and waited for Shengsheng to hold back the tears before turning around, looking at Xu Rui and smiling lightly: "For Master Hou, it doesn't matter who this person is, don't ask." ”

"Oh...... I see......"

Xu Rui agreed in a deep voice, but he was really silent.

For a long time, the two stood opposite each other, but there seemed to be an invisible deep trench in the middle, maybe this trench was not really invisible, but like a hideous scar, which had already appeared in the hearts of the two.

"Excuse me today, please don't be surprised, Qingwu will go back."

I don't know how long she was silent, Princess Qixia saw that Xu Rui really had nothing to say, so she squeezed out a smile and said goodbye to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui opened his mouth, but he still couldn't say a word.

Princess Qixia didn't wait for Xu Rui's retention after all, she felt pain and grievances in her heart, resolutely turned around and walked slowly towards the alley.

Xu Rui looked at the back of her leaving, as if looking at her coming, and the expectations of countless years turned into a heart-wrenching pain.

Finally, she disappeared from Xu Rui's sight and really left, and at this moment, it seemed that a large piece of his heart had been taken away, leaving only a soulless body.

He didn't know that Princess Qixia stopped the moment she turned out of the alley, and the tears that she had endured for a long time could no longer be suppressed.

The green bamboo on the side saw it in his eyes, hurt in his heart, and immediately said angrily: "Your Highness put down the reserve of his daughter's family for him, and made a special trip here to find him, but Xu Rui is a negative man...... I'm going to clean him up! ”

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush into the alley.

But before she could really rush in, Princess Qixia grabbed her wrist.

Lu Zhu was startled and said angrily: "Your Highness, he treats you like this, and you still protect him?" ”

Princess Qixia wiped her tears, and suddenly laughed, as if the clouds opened after the rain, revealing a thousand rainbows.

"You can see that he's sad too."

Princess Qixia said faintly.

"Sad? What would be sad for a negative man like him? ”

Lu Zhu's anger did not subside, and he said viciously.

Princess Qixia shook her head: "No, he is not a negative man, today is not in vain, at least I already know his intentions, he really has me in his heart." ”

Lu Zhu sneered and said: "Your Highness, wake up, the old lady said that a man doesn't have a good thing, you are so good to him, but look at how he treats you?" If he really has you in his heart, how can he be so cruel to you? ”

Princess Qixia looked at the sky, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I have been thinking about whether he will be afraid when he sets foot on the battlefield and faces the fierce army of the Southern Dynasty, but now I finally have the answer. ”

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

Luzhu didn't know why Princess Qixia suddenly mentioned these irrelevant things, and asked incomprehensibly.

Princess Qixia continued: "The battlefield requires courage, wisdom, and determination, and he has done it, defeated all enemies, and on my battlefield, if I can't be like him, then what face will I stand with him?" ”

"Your Highness......"

Thinking that the princess was too stimulated to talk nonsense, Luzhu couldn't help but call her worriedly.

But Princess Qixia smiled: "Although I don't know why he treats me like this, but there must be his reason, Luzhu, when he is on the battlefield, he doesn't know where the enemy is, when he will come, and where he will fight, right?"

No matter how difficult it is, he still won, now is my battle, I don't know what he's worried about, but I will win, he is the man I fancie, I will never give up easily! ”

Xu Rui didn't know how he got into the carriage until the shadow maid let out a long sigh behind him.

"Young master, you are too cruel to Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

Xu Rui came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Are you ruthless...... In fact, I wanted to grab her hands, take her into my arms, and tell her how much I missed her, but I couldn't. ”

As he spoke, he looked at his left hand and said, "I don't know when I'm going to die, maybe next month, maybe next year, maybe tomorrow."

Isn't loving her responsible for her, and loving her because of her happiness? Since I know in my heart that I can't give her the happiness she wants, why bother to have it so selfishly?

Giving her a short period of happiness, but at the cost of a lifetime of regret and pain, isn't this the biggest harm to her?

Long pain, after all, is not as good as short pain......"

Listening to Xu Rui's emotion, the shadow maid instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she had been a person with a lack of affection since she was a child, and she didn't know how to comfort Xu Rui at all, so she opened her mouth, but she still couldn't speak.

At this moment, Cao Siyuan suddenly leaned against the window of the carriage.

"My lord, my sister has cooked a good meal at home, and you haven't seen your uncle for a long time, why don't you go and have a meal together?"

Thinking of Cao Wanxi, who was still waiting for him, Xu Rui suddenly wanted to refuse, but in this state of mind, for some reason, he agreed unexpectedly.

Cao Siyuan was overjoyed, but the shadow maid looked at him in dismay.
