Qin Ming was worried about Li Yan's body, so he walked slowly all the way, and it took half a month to return to the city.

This gave Qing Huan a lot of time to get along with Li Yan. Because the feeling of loss was too uncomfortable, Qinghuan cherished the days with him very much, and she also began to think a lot about Li Yan, and arranged everything personally.

Those who don't know still think that this little guard is loyal, and those who know can see at a glance that she is full of love for Li Yan.

When he went back, Qin Ming didn't report it, and after entering the city, it was already evening, so Qin Ming decided to report it the next morning, saying that the prince had returned safely.

This night is just the right time for everyone to rest. So Qing Huan and Li Yan said goodbye to them and went home.

Seeing that the prince was back, he was overjoyed and prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Li Yan asked Manager Li to come and eat with him to express his gratitude to him for his dedication to maintaining the affairs of the mansion for so long.

Manager Li was so happy that he was in tears, and he was almost as excited as Qing Huan when he saw the prince.

Li Yan was relieved, and his smile was reassuring. Qing Huan, who was sitting on the side, looked at him stupidly, just looking at him was enough.

While comforting Manager Li, Li Yan knocked Qing Huan's head with his hand: "What do you think, don't you eat yet?" ”

Qing Huan smirked before he slowly began to eat.

During the banquet, Li Yan told Manager Li about what happened, and Qing Huan already knew about it.

At that time, Li Yan was going to deal with the flood disaster county by county, and many counties in front of him had handled it properly, and seeing that there were only a few counties left, he could come back after dealing with it.

After the group arrived in that county, they seized the time to repair the canal and dredge the river, and also repaired the flood control dam to prevent sudden floods. After fighting like this for a few days, the disaster was almost under control, and Li Yan and the others were also very tired.

After dealing with the situation that day, it was already late, and they quickly fell asleep dragging their tired bodies.

Unbeknownst to him, the flood hit in the second half of the night, the dam burst, and the entire county was swept into the raging flood.

Li Yan was dragged up by the guards on night duty and fled in a panic.

But when the flood came, they were swept away.

Fortunately, the guards kept holding him, and with good skills, they finally caught the trees that had not been washed down downstream, but in the rapids, Li Yan was hit by something unknown and fell unconscious in severe pain, and the guards struggled to put him at the intersection of the branches, and he was exhausted, and he was immediately swallowed up by the flood.

Later, the current was a little gentler, and many boats from the nearby county came to the rescue and found Li Yan in the tree.

Because they knew that it was the prince who came to relieve the disaster, the fishermen hurriedly sent him to the government and was taken care of by the magistrate.

Later, Qin Ming arrived with Qing Huan, then recovered from his injuries and returned to the city.

Li Yan has talked about the whole thing a few times, but every time he hears Qinghuan, he is very afraid.

I am very grateful to the guard who sacrificed his life to save the prince, if it weren't for him, the prince would really be gone.

Li Yan was naturally grateful, and asked Manager Li to prepare some silver taels and prepare to personally send them to his family as a pension.

After the meal, Li Yan and Manager Li had something to say, so Qing Huan went back to the room by himself and took a comfortable bath.

After running around for more than a month, Qing Huan has also lost a lot of weight, Agu said while washing: "The prince looks healthier than the princess when he is injured, princess, look at you, you have lost so much weight." ”

Qing Huan washed away his tiredness, and he was relaxed, so he said happily: "I am tired of taking care of the prince, otherwise can I be thinner than him?" ”

Ah Gu felt sorry for her and didn't want to listen to her explanation, so he sulked and didn't want to pay attention to her.

Qing Huan took a handful of water and splashed it on Agu, and said with a smile: "Dead girl, I'm still angry, I'll eat more in the future." ”

Agu also laughed and splashed her with water, and the two had fun for a while.

After Li Yan and Manager Li finished speaking, they came over, and at that time, Qinghuan had just finished taking a bath, and her hair was still wet, so Li Yan quipped: "The princess is so cute, like a little animal." ”

Qing Huan reacted and realized that Li Yan laughed at her for being a water dog, pretending to be angry, and pretending to beat him.

Li Yan laughed and grabbed her hand. Her hand was worn out by the reins before, and it was no longer so smooth and soft after it was healed.

Li Yan felt it after holding it, and opened her hand to take a closer look, he also knew how Qing Huan followed Qin Ming to march in a hurry, and even if Qing Huan didn't say anything about the hardships along the way, he also knew.

I was a little moved in my heart, but I didn't show it, I just said gently: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Qing Huan was a little embarrassed, quickly pulled out his hand, and said, "When the prince was away, I practiced my calligraphy well, I'll show you." After speaking, he took out the paper on which he practiced calligraphy, showed it to Li Yan one by one, and changed the topic.

Li Yan read it, first praised a few words, and then seriously pointed out the problems to Qing Huan, held Qing Huan's hand, and taught him one by one.

Qing Huan felt the breath on his body, his heart was pounding, and he didn't have the heart to practice calligraphy, but looked at Li Yan blankly, looking at his serious expression.

Under Qing Huan's scorching gaze, Li Yan didn't teach anymore, and looked at her for a while.

Qing Huan blushed suddenly, don't look over, Li Yan laughed out loud and said, "It's not too early, the princess should rest early." ”

Qing Huan hummed, then walked to the side of the bed, lay down in his clothes, pulled the quilt to cover it, and only showed a pair of eyes looking at Li Yan with a bone.

Li Yan sent her over, and she only felt funny when she looked at it, "If the princess is cold, can I let the stove come in?" ”

Qing Huan didn't answer, just shook his head. Li Yan smiled and helped her tuck the quilt and said, "Sleep well." I'm leaving. ”

Qing Huan lifted the quilt, grabbed Li Yan and said, "Where is the prince?" ”

"Go back to your room."

Qing Huan hesitated, and after all, he didn't dare to speak, so he let go of his hand. Li Yan touched her head, then got up and went out.

The moment he heard him close the door, Qing Huan still bravely turned over and chased out.

Li Yan didn't go far, Qing Huan chased after him, hugged him from behind, and didn't speak.

Li Yan didn't speak, and quietly let Qing Huan hold him. After a while, Li Yan still spoke: "That's it, I'll stay overnight tonight." ”

When Qing Huan heard this, she happily let go of him.

Li Yan turned around, took her hand, and led her back to the house. After entering the door, Li Yan went to clean up the chaise longue, but Qing Huan was stunned and asked softly, "Does the prince sleep here?" ”

Li Yan smiled and said, "What if not? ”

Qing Huan took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, "The bed is very big and can sleep two people." ”

The voice behind me was faint, and after speaking, I only felt that my heart was beating fast, and it seemed to jump out with a bang.

Li Yan's figure of packing up his things paused, he turned his back to Qing Huan and did not answer.

The room was eerily quiet, except for the sound of burning candles. Qing Huan's heart sank little by little, plummeting, blood flowed backwards, and pantothenic acid in his nose burst after burst.

She already understood what Li Yan meant, in order not to be too embarrassed, she hurriedly explained, and spoke in a thick nasal voice: "I watched the prince just recover, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable to sleep on it, and the bed here is ........."

"Qing Huan," Li Yan interrupted her, and there was no smile between her words.

This is the first time Qing Huan has heard him call his name, and Qing Huan didn't want to hear the rest of the words, but Li Yan still said it, "You are a good girl, and you will have a good home in the future." ”

In a word, Qing Huan was defeated. Her tears rolled down in large gulps, and she wept silently.

Li Yan didn't look back, but continued to pack his things, "It's not too early, it's time to sleep." ”

Qing Huan lay on the bed, covered the quilt and let the tears run wild, she didn't want to cry, she didn't want Li Yan to hear, she didn't want to embarrass herself.

Li Yan knew that she was crying, but she just lay quietly on the chaise longue and did not come to comfort her.

Qing Huan felt that he was very much like Chu Yi that night, it turned out that they were all poor people who fell into Li Yan's acting skills, moved by his gentleness and thoughtfulness, and conquered by his maturity and stability, the two poor worms threw themselves into it desperately, thinking that their deep affection could move him like Li Yan moved himself, but they all forgot that all this was a play.

And Qing Huan, from the perspective of watching a play, fell into it step by step. She thought that Li Yan was also affectionate to her, otherwise why did he do so much when he was sick, otherwise why did he go out for disaster relief and bring the handkerchief she gave him, otherwise why.........

Many, many details were replayed in Qing Huan's mind, but Qing Huan thought. Qing Huan suddenly recalled the song "Jokes" and applied it to herself: love in the play, don't take it seriously, no matter how expressive she is, she just follows the script, and her acting skills are outstanding.

Qing Huan really wanted to ask him why, he wanted to beat him and scold him, since he didn't love her, why should he be good to her, who should he show to him?

But Qing Huan held back, she didn't want to lose face, she didn't want to be too humble.

There was no movement from the outside, I don't know if I fell asleep or what, Qing Huan remembered that he left the bamboo forest that night, and he also fell asleep peacefully.

Qing Huan hated him for being ruthless, hated himself for being useless, and covered himself in the quilt until the tears dried up, and his heart was tired, and he slept for a while in a trance.

Half-asleep and half-awake, I heard Li Yan get up and go out lightly.
