"Why do you think that?" Qin Yining held Xiao Xiao's big hand in distress, his fingertips slid over his rough calloused palms and fingertips, looking at the new scar on the back of his hand, his eyes flashed with pity.

"I know you're in trouble, so how can I blame you for this? No matter how high your status is, you are not the highest one, and many things are involuntary. What's more, this year's drought is a natural disaster, you are just a mortal, where can you blame yourself with such things that you can't call the shots? ”

Xiao Xiao looked at Qin Yining with a smile, his oblique phoenix eyes seemed to be holding a pool of warm spring water, he had long known that with Qin Yining's intelligence and conduct, he would definitely understand him. But when she really heard such empathetic words from her mouth, Xiao Xiao was still uncontrollably moved.

"Sister Yi'er," Xiao Xiao stretched out his arm, hugged Qin Yining into his arms, and kissed her on the forehead without lust, "You are so good." ”

His voice was low and pleasant, a little hoarse from his emotion, and his warm breath spewed into Qin Yining's ears.

Qin Yining's ears were numb and hot, but he didn't want to dodge, he just leaned on his arms obediently, closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment of peace of mind and tranquility.

She and Xiao Xiao didn't have a chance to get along like this for a long time, so they hugged each other, didn't think about anything else, and unloaded all their burdens, at this time he was not Prince Zhongshun of Da Zhou, and she was not the daughter of Taishi Dayan, they were just men and women who liked each other.

The emperor decided to surrender, then they would no longer have to be put on the opposite side, they would not have to be bound by so many worldliness.

Xu was too relieved, and the tiredness of barely resting last night came up at this time. Qin Yining was sleepy and tired, wrapped his arms around Xiao Xiao's waist, and said vaguely: "I'll sleep for a while." ”

"I'll ask someone to prepare the ingredients, I'm going to cook you a bowl of noodles, and you'll go to bed when you're full, okay?" Xiao Xiao knew that Qin Yining had been in a state of starvation during this time, and she was distressed, where was she willing to let her fall asleep hungry?

Qin Yining shook his head and muttered, "Don't eat it." ”

Then his breathing slowly stabilized, and he fell asleep as he spoke.

Xiao Xiao lowered his head, looked at the person who could fall asleep sitting in his arms, looked at the shadow under her eyes and the small face with thin cheeks sunken, and felt distressed.

Carefully carrying her to his feet, he laid her flat on his wooden bed, removed her embroidered shoes, and pulled a thin blanket to cover her.

Her long hair was scattered on the blue mattress, and the sheen that had once been as black and shiny as satin had now faded. The white face looked even paler against the dark pillowcase.

Xiao Xiao looked at her distressedly, and stood by the bed until he was sure that she had slept deeply, and then he lay on his side lightly, supporting his head with one hand, and looked at her so intently.

He used his fingers to trace her slender willow eyebrows from a distance, brushing her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, sliding over her tall nose, and finally landing on her lips.

This is the second time they have "shared the same bed", and Xiao Xiao just accompanied her, watching her until she fell asleep unconsciously.

Who dares to disturb the future princess with the future princess in the tent?

Don't say bother, even if you are close to ten zhang away, you will be driven away by Huzi with the Jinghu Guard, and the people in the military camp have bypassed the commander's tent.

Mu Jinghu couldn't help but see him, so he could only go to eat and settle down under Huzi's arrangement.

The prince has not come out, and no one has called people, and Huzi did not dare to approach to ask, thinking that the prince would come out later, who thought that the military tent in this has not moved, until the early morning of the next day, the prince came out lightly.

Huzi was not on duty last night, and he just got up, he was originally sleepy-eyed and rubbing his eyes, and when he saw the owl tiptoe out of the tent and carefully closed the door curtain, Huzi felt that every time he was in front of Qin Yining, he could see a new side of his prince.

However, the two of them are not over until now? The prince is too unsympathetic.

Although he thought so in his heart, Huzi didn't dare to ask Xiao Xiao directly, let alone show any expression similar to ridicule - dare to make fun of the prince? That's going to be drilled hard! Don't be so tired that you vomit blood and don't let it stop!

Xiao Xiao squinted at the tiger with a serious face, and looked nervous all over, and then turned around and said, "You go and call Jiyun and rock candy to accompany their girl, and I'll prepare the meal." ”

The prince plans to cook in the barracks as well?

It doesn't look good for so many people to see it, it will seriously affect the image of the prince!

But Huzi absolutely didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only take orders to invite rock candy and send clouds.

The two maidservants also thought that something must happen to Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao, but who knew that Qin Yining was simply sleeping in Xiao Xiao's tent.

When Qin Yining woke up from sleep, the two of them served her to wash and make.

At this time, Xiao Xiao also brought in the dough cake and four side dishes, followed by Huzi who was carrying a large clay pot of gruel.

Needless to say, Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining have both been specially taught in this area, and the two of them are very gentle.

Xu is so happy to see Xiao Xiao, Qin Yining has a good appetite, eats half a sheet of bread, and also eats a bowl of gruel.

After eating, Qin Yining talked to Xiao Xiao about serious things.

"I was kidnapped by An Guogong before I came, and when An Guogong spoke, he accidentally revealed that he had something to do with the Great Zhou Secret Envoy."

"Emissary?" Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "How can there be a secret envoy?" Why didn't I, the commander of the southbound Tiger Army, know that there was such a thing? ”

Qin Yining sneered: "Do you know what the secret envoy and An Guogong are talking about?" The secret envoy wants to borrow a knife to kill people, get rid of you with An Guogong's hand, and then blame my father and let my father bear the charge of murdering the prince. Since there is such a person, of course it is impossible for the other party to let you know, should you take precautions earlier? ”

Xiao Xiao naturally knew that what Qin Yining said was right.

He nodded, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his index finger, "I know what you said." ”

"Then do you know who the main messenger behind the scenes may be?"

Xiao Xiao touched her forehead with his big hand, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, think about it, if I die in battle, who will benefit the most?" Who will benefit more because of my bad luck, so if you think about it, who wants me to die, then it will be clear at a glance. ”

Qin Yining had engraved the statement that Emperor Ziwei had not ascended the throne into his heart.

The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty must have been afraid of this calculation! And if Xiao Xiao died on the battlefield, the people who would get the greatest benefit must be the new emperor of the Great Zhou and those courtiers who surrendered to the Great Zhou from the Northern Hebei State.

Of the two, the former is to eradicate future troubles, and the latter is due to conflicts of interest.

The existence of the owl is equivalent to pressing them several times, if these people want to turn over in the court, getting rid of the owl is definitely their best choice.

Qin Yining saw that there was no wave in the ancient well, and there was no emotion on his face, but he couldn't help but admire in his heart.

"Lord Wang." At this moment, Huzi replied outside: "Mu Gongzi asks to see." He said he had come to say goodbye. ”
