The sky was covered with black cloth, without a trace of brightness. In the Seryu-in, the lanterns under the eaves sway with the night breeze.

Mingran sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, leaning on the jade railing, looking up at the night sky.

After a month in a coma, she couldn't sleep, the inner courtyard was empty, and there was no one to keep vigil.

Fuyue went to protect Su Shenxin, Lan Ling went to find Yunhe's whereabouts, and Zhuqing had been arranged by her to go to the stable.

Her Xueliu Courtyard is a little scary silent at the moment.

Thinking back to the days when she was in a coma, she remembered clearly what Su Shenxin said by her couch every time she came back to visit her.

It turned out that after Su Shenxin was rescued from prison by An Xuqiao, he fell in love with him.

An Xuqiao slept with Su Shenxin after being drunk, and An Lanwei took advantage of this incident to threaten Su Shenxin.

And Su Shenxin was jealous of An Xuqiao's feelings for Ming Dye, so he finally put the poison into the Ming Dye decoction.

Mingran couldn't help but feel sorry that the woman who was willing to jump into the river to save her at the beginning had lost her nature in her relationship after all.

"Ugh."

"Who are you sighing for?"

The sudden sound of a man's voice in the dark night frightened Mingran to her feet, and she looked around, her eyes fixed on the man in black who jumped down from the roof.

Seeing the person who came, she lowered her head and smiled: "It seems that the prince's skills in ancient times are much better than in modern times." ”

Xiao Yichen chuckled twice, instantly drifted to her side, pulled her over and hugged her waist, and kissed her on the lips before she could speak.

From shallow to deep, long and intoxicating.

After a long time, Ming Ran opened his eyes, pushed him away, reached out to cover his slightly painful lips, and said with a smile: "This kiss is for me to repay the prince's life-saving grace." ”

Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said softly: "Shouldn't the grace of saving lives be promised by example?" ”

"Then does the prince plan to come to the door to propose?"

"Do you still need to propose? Now the whole capital knows that I saved you, and I had a skin-to-skin kiss when I rescued you by the river, so you can only be mine. His eyes were shining like stars, staring at Mingye.

Ming Ran covered her lips and smiled, but fortunately it was late at night, and she couldn't see the crimson on her face.

"Why don't you keep recognizing me?" She sat down on the stone bench and tilted her head slightly to look at him.

Xiao Yichen sat across from her and approached her, "I don't dare." ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm afraid that you still hold a grudge against me, if I hadn't taken you to sea, nothing would have happened, and we wouldn't have come here."

Mingran's face with a faint smile darkened, "So, you think I hate you?" ”

Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed, and he remembered what Ming Ran said to him on the yacht.

She said she didn't love him, she hated him.

"No, I just don't dare."

Ming Ran sneered, "It turns out that the famous president of the Xiao family came to ancient times, and he was so cowardly. ”

A gust of night wind blew into the gazebo, tossing the dyed hair.

Xiao Yichen stood up and sat next to her, stretched out his hand to smooth her hair, and said seriously: "Xiao Ran, this place is not like in the TV series, this is a world where power is respected, and it is more severe than the history we thought of, so this is also the reason why I dare not approach you." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Before I don't have any real power, when I am not sure of marrying you, I can't get close to you, the emperor is suspicious by nature, he is because he ascended the throne through the power of the queen mother, and behind the queen mother is the entire Rongguo Mansion, and behind you, it is also the Rongguo Mansion."

Ming Ran took over and said, "So, you don't want the emperor to think that you are too close to the Rongguo Mansion?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Yichen nodded.

Ming Ran frowned, tears rolling in his eyes, "But I finally confirmed that it was you, but can't I be with you?" ”

Her appearance made Xiao Yichen feel distressed for a while, "It's not that I can't, but I can't right now." ”

Ming Ran pushed back tears on his back, "Since I came to this ghost place, I have been missing my dad and you all the time, and I regret it immensely when I think of arguing with you on the yacht." ”

Xiao Yichen reached out and hugged her and leaned her into his arms, "What do you regret?" ”

Mingran pushed him away and turned his back to him, "I regret not admitting that I love you." ”

Xiao Yichen was a little stunned, and then grinned.

She finally admitted it.

He stared at her back, his eyes gentle, and he said affectionately, "I love you too." ”

Ming Ran immediately turned around, "I don't know who said by my couch when I was unconscious that I was lying ugly, and said that it would be annoying to look at it." ”

Xiao Yichen looked at her dotingly and smiled silently.

Ming Ran couldn't stand his affectionate gaze, and got up and walked to the railing.

The bright moon, which had been obscured by dark clouds before, also showed a bright color, and the moonlight sprinkled in the garden, and the figures of the two were reflected on the ground.

In Mingran's heart, happiness blossomed.

In this strange place, she can finally feel that she is not alone, from beginning to end, the person she loves has always been by her side and has never been far away.

She knew very well that on the day he crossed the sea, if he didn't save her, with his water nature, he wouldn't sink to the bottom of the sea at all, and the yacht had satellite positioning, and if he had been floating on the sea, he would have been able to wait for someone to rescue.

Xiao Yichen got up and walked to her side, also looking at the sky.

"King Run, you're going to rebel."

Mingran hurriedly looked sideways at him, "What? ”

Xiao Yichen nodded, and then said with a straight face: "The capital is about to be turbulent." ”

"What will happen?"

"I want to help the emperor force King Run to rebel and take away King Run's military power."

Mingran reached out to cover her lips, and her mind flashed through what had happened before.

When Xiao Yichen saw her expression, he knew that she had guessed what had happened.

"From the time Xiao Wenshu poisoned Shen Xing, the emperor had already planned to deal with King Run."

Ming Ran was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses, "Everything is the emperor's plan?" ”

"No, the emperor didn't expect that Xiao Wenshu would use the dead soul to poison Mrs. Su, and expose the poisoning of Shen Xing, and he didn't expect that you would investigate Mrs. Su's death."

"Why did I investigate Mrs. Su go so well?" After saying this, Ming Ran immediately reacted, "Are you helping me?" ”

Xiao Yichen said with a smile: "The reason for you to find out about this matter is to let you see the emperor's ambition clearly." ”

"Do you want me to guard against Xiao Yiqian?"

Xiao Yichen was noncommittal, looked at her and said seriously: "Xiao Ran, I don't want you to get involved in these bloody battles, but you also have to understand that because of the relationship between the Mu family, you can't stay out of the matter, so I let you see that Xiao Yiqian is not as good as it seems." ”

"You've been sending someone to spy on me?"

Xiao Yichen corrected: "How can that be considered surveillance? It's protection. ”

If he hadn't kept her guarded, he wouldn't have been able to know about the eldest princess tying her to the boat that day, and he couldn't imagine what would have happened to Ming Ran if he hadn't rushed to the moat.

"Crown-sounding."

"Bring your maid back, and as for your missing maid, I'll look for it for you."

"Okay."

"Su Shenxin, you don't care, she has already gone to Runwang's Mansion, and An Lanwei has also taken her in."

Mingran chuckled self-deprecatingly, she arranged a residence for Su Shenxin, but Su Shenxin still chose to be with An Lanwei.

"I see."

Suddenly, both fell silent, quietly looking up at the night sky, quiet and sweet.
