In the main hall of the Xia Palace.

Ai Cai, who was wearing chains on his hands and feet, knelt in front of Xiahou Bao, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, and next to Ai Cai was Xia Longyu.

At this time, in addition to a few of them, there were also officials from the Zongren Mansion and Dali Temple.

The amount of people's fat and ointment that Ai Cai looted was too large, and it had already constituted very serious consequences, and the powerful ministers in the court and the central government thought that he was instructed by others.

And among these money, there are also silver taels for disaster relief.

Back then, the person in charge of disaster relief was the crown prince Xia Yinhu, so this made everyone doubt his ability to do things, because Ai Cai could actually embezzle the disaster money under his nose.

"Father, the son wanted to execute Ai Cai, but who knew that he had something to say to his father, so the son brought him up." Xia Longyu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, nodded slightly towards the emperor as a sign of courtesy.

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Ai to speak directly.

Ai Cai, who had been silent and lowered his head, raised his head and looked calm, "Back to the emperor, the minister deserves death." ”

Everyone waited for a long time and found that Ai Cai just said such a sentence.

Xia Longyu's eyes focused and stared at Ai Cai, but the latter did not raise his head.

"Ai Cai, in prison, you didn't tell this king like this." Xia Longyu's cold voice came.

I saw Ai Cai's body, and he trembled, "Jade King, the criminal minister didn't say anything in Laozhong." ”

"You?!" Xia Longyu almost couldn't hold back his temper, and stretched out his finger to point at Ai Cai.

"Okay, okay, Yu'er, Ai Cai has already confessed to the crime." The emperor waved his hand and said impatiently.

This matter ended in the end, Xia Longyu originally thought that this time he would be able to record a crime for the prince, but now he found out that he was still not enough for the prince to be insidious.

When Ai Cai was dragged down, a string of bracelets fell out of his sleeve, which happened to be seen by Xia Longyu.

Xia Longyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already knew in his heart why Ai Cai had answered like that just now.

Jade King's Mansion.

"Lord Wang." When the subordinates of the Jade King's Mansion saw Xia Longyu coming back, they saluted one after another.

"Hmm." Xia Longyu nodded lightly.

Here, in the dining room, Xiao Yuan sat at the dining table staring at the colorful and fragrant food on the table, but she had no appetite at all.

When Xia Longyu walked in, she happened to see her in a daze, like a wife waiting for her husband to come home and have dinner together.

"Kites." Xia Longyu pushed the wheelchair over and shouted softly in her ear.

Who knew that Xiao Yuan didn't pay attention to it, still staring at the dinner table.

Xia Longyu glanced at the food suspiciously, there was nothing strange about it, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Kite? ”

Xiao Yuan was waved by his hand, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at Xia Longyu in a daze, "You're back!" ”

Although she was smiling, Xia Longyu felt a trace of sorrow in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you? I've been staring at the meal. Xia Longyu came to her side, picked up chopsticks, and put the dishes into the bowl for her.

"Huh? It's okay, let's eat! Xiao Yuan said perfunctorily.

Xia Longyu knew that she had something on her mind, but she didn't open up to him, "Come, try this dish, this should be your Zhao ...... No, a dish from Ningguo. ”

There was a dish on the table that belonged to Xiao Yuan's hometown, but she had been stunned just now, and she didn't notice what food was on the table.

Looking at the dishes in the bowl, Xiao Kite's eyes were moist, she was homesick, her father and brother.

In this Xia country, her only reliance is Xia Longyu, but no matter how Xia Longyu protects her, her heart is still a little empty.

"Kite, are you homesick?" Xia Longyu saw the nostalgia in her eyes and asked tentatively.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, she nodded, even if she couldn't go home, she wanted to report her safety to her family, at least let Xiao Rin and them know that she was not safe.

"Don't worry, after the hunting day, I will escort you back to Ningguo." Xia Longyu said.

"Really?" Xiao Yuan looked excited, she grabbed Xia Longyu's arm excitedly, the latter nodded and smiled, but she didn't notice the reluctance in his eyes.

If Xiao Yuan really knows Ningguo, then he and her will probably not see each other in their lives, Xia Ning and the two countries have constant disputes, Xiao Yuan is Xiao Rin's sister, and he is the Lord of Xia, they are destined not to have too many entanglements.

In the evening, Xia Longyu personally wrote a secret letter and asked the people of the Dragon Pavilion to be handed over to Xiao Rin.

Ning Guo, Xiao Rin was on the way back to Ning Xiao Palace, a dart shot straight at him, after he noticed it, he dodged to the side, and the dart was inserted into the big tree behind him.

"There are assassins!" The guards shouted, and immediately the surrounding guards surrounded them.

"My subordinates are late for rescue, please forgive King Rin."

Xiao Rin ignored it, but stared at the direction of the dart, which was empty, and must have left.

"Come on, go after it!" Seeing that Xiao Rin didn't speak, one of the guards quickly stood up and prepared to lead someone to chase after him.

"No need to chase, you all go down!" Xiao Rin said meaningfully.

Seeing this, the guards retreated one after another.

Xiao Rin turned around and saw that there was a secret letter inserted on the dart, he walked over and took it down, unfolded it and took a look, "Xiao Kite is in the Xia Kingdom, safe, don't worry." ”

There was no signature on the secret letter, and I didn't know who sent the news at all, Xiao Rin looked at the words on the secret letter, a few short sentences, judging from this front, it was not an ordinary person who wrote this word.

Here, Jing Ning is also asking about Xiao Kite's whereabouts all day long, she thinks that Xiao Kite's disappearance is also partly hers, so she has been terrified in her heart.

This time, Xiao Rin got the news and didn't plan to tell Jing Ning immediately, he needed to find out the truth, if Xiao Yuan was really in Xia Guo, then he had to let someone pick her up as soon as possible, after all, the relationship between Xia Guo and Ning Guo was there.

Xiao Rin crumpled the secret letter into a ball, threw it into the water, and then turned around and walked towards Ning Xiao Palace.

Ning Xiao Palace.

At this time, Jing Ning was sitting in the bathtub playing with the petals, and she didn't know how to describe her current mood.

Now she has returned to Ningguo and returned to Xiao Rin's side, but everyone in the Zheng family is gone, every time at night, she will think of the scene of her previous life, and then the picture always turns to this life, and she still hasn't been able to protect her family well.

Jing Ning took a deep breath, and the whole person sank into the water, emptying himself.

"King Rin." The voice of the palace maid sounded outside the door, but Jing Ning's whole person sank into the water and was not heard at all.

When she lifted her head out of the water, she saw Xiao Rin looking at her with a tender face.

"You're back!" Jing Ning had a smile on her face, and she sat up straight, but in the next second, she found that Xiao Rin's vision was a little abnormal.

She followed Xiao Rin's line of sight and looked at herself...

"Ah~" Jing Ning blushed and sank his entire body into the water, revealing only a small head.

"Pervert!" Jing Ning stuck out his tongue and covered his chest with both hands.
