Outside, the moonlight was like a wash, and there was a hint of coolness, and occasionally there was the chirping of crickets.

The stumbling footsteps were approaching, and a few dark shadows could be seen flickering.

Using the trees as shelter, the two tried not to make a sound, and quickly opened the house.

There was only a small road in front of them, and they ran a long way along this road, and came to a ravine, seeing that Tian Yao was out of breath, Mo Jingli was very distressed.

"A-Yao, there is no one here before and after, and you are tired, so we can only stay here for one night." The moonlight shone softly on his angular face, and his deep eyes were apologetic.

Looking around, there was a bluestone under a few pine trees, and there were a lot of wild grass next to it, Tian Yao spread those wild grasses on the bluestone, and took out a piece of clothing from the package and spread it on it.

"Then you'll have to sit here and deal with it for a night!" The corners of his mouth hooked up with pleasure, and he pulled Mo Jingli to sit down.

Looking at the emaciated delicate body, Mo Jingli took off his coat and draped it on Tian Yao's body, then leaned on the pine tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, turned his head and gently leaned on Mo Jingli's shoulder, and slowly closed his beautiful eyes.

Despite this, Tian Yao was still worried that those men in black would chase after him, so he didn't sleep well that night, and there would be occasional cries of beasts in the distance.

At dawn, she was still yawning, her face was tired, and her whole body was weak.

Seeing the slightly haggard expression, Mo Jingli asked with concern, "Ah Yao, didn't you sleep, right?" ”

Nodding his head slightly, he yawned two more times.

Looking at the fog and damp ground in the mountains, Mo Jingli felt that he should hurry up, so he squatted down, "A-Yao, lie on my back, I'll carry you away!" ”

Rubbing her red and swollen eyes, looking at the scene around her, Tian Yao knew that with her current physical strength, she couldn't walk, but she couldn't bear to let Mo Jing leave her.

"What are you doing? Come up? Mo Jingli's voice was soft and full of affection.

I had to move to the solid back, a pair of small hands hooked the man's strong shoulders, I felt incomparably warm, safe, and an inexplicable sense of dependence, my heart was beating wildly, and my little face was still a little feverish.

I simply put my face on the broad back and enjoyed this special treatment. Yes! He's a prince, isn't he? Carrying me, a little woman! No, he is Brother Ah Li, so he is much more relieved to think about it, the corners of his mouth are still sweet, and he closes his beautiful eyes lazily.

The road ahead was very winding and rugged, and Mo Jingli had some difficulty walking with her on her back, but she was still very determined to move forward step by step, and she didn't feel how heavy Tian Yao was on her body.

Feeling the shaking of his body, opening his eyes, and seeing the sweat on the man's face and the difficult road under his feet, Tian Yao was very moved, and wiped the beads of sweat that couldn't stop for him, and his heart was distressed.

"Brother Li, let me down, will you?" Tian Yao was a little unbearable.

Silence and steadfast footsteps awaited.

After much difficulty, they finally arrived at the market, but on the way they still found some people in black, and they kept dodging, so they were not discovered.

"We bought this horse, and it won't be hard to walk!" Mo Jingli patted the jujube red horse and looked at Tian Yao happily.

Tian Yao nodded slightly, the two rode this batch of horses, day and night, two days later, a big city appeared in front of him, and Tian Yao breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The city, called Xuancheng, was more prosperous and lively than any other place they had been before, and everywhere showed the appearance of a metropolis.

Escaped the man in black, and he was relaxed here, Tian Yao looked around dizzily, his eyes widened, and there were still many fresh places.

"Your Highness, we have already contacted the city lord here, just go directly to his mansion!" One of the guards looked around warily, then lowered his voice in response.

The City Lord's Mansion is also extraordinary, and the City Lord Lin Zhi personally came out to greet Mo Jingli, stroked his sparse beard, showing a face full of respect, and there were many relatives behind him.

"Your Highness, I Xuancheng, the lower official is honored!" Lin Zhi stepped forward and hurriedly saluted, with a kind face.

Mo Jingli raised his hand slightly and smiled lightly, "The city lord doesn't have to be polite, let's go in and talk!" With a happy mood, he walked inside.

A group of people followed closely behind, and they were all very respectful.

Seeing Tian Yao following closely beside him, the city lord Lin Zhi stroked his beard with a little confusion, "I don't know if this girl is ......" He still has a lot of curiosity.

Seeing Tian Yao hesitate for a moment, Mo Jingli felt that it was better to hide people's eyes, so he raised his head and replied, "She's just my personal maid." He pretended to be casual and moved on.

However, Tian Yao did not understand Mo Jingli's intention at all, and immediately felt surprised and dissatisfied in his heart.

It turns out that I have such a status in his mind, and it is no wonder that now he is a prince, but he is not the previous Brother Li, of course he can't be compared.

Don't think about anything, there is a tall man in front of him, with a distance of 108,000 miles, and he really doesn't know how to advance or retreat.

Pouted, bowed his head and followed, due to the current situation, he didn't say anything, but his mood was a little low.

After hearing this, the city lord Lin Zhi didn't pay attention to her, and still respectfully welcomed them into the mansion.

Along the way, Mo Jingli didn't pay attention to the change in Tian Yao's expression, just when she would understand her words.

When going to bed at night, Lin Zhi would of course arrange Tian Yao in Mo Jingli's room, and the personal maid should be like this.

"A-Yao, you sleep on the bed, I'll just sleep on the ground!" Mo Jingli took the quilt and spread it on the ground, and lay there with his clothes.

Tian Yao was embarrassed, first of all, she was not used to sleeping in the same room with a man, and she was still haunted by the things during the day, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and she was also lying in her clothes.

Handmaid! Handmaid! This word always appeared in her mind, and it inexplicably made her heart ache. That Ah Li brother is gone, and he will never come back! She felt like she was going to cry, but she forcibly held back.

If people's identities change, will people's hearts also change? She couldn't figure it out.

"A-Yao, can't you sleep?" Mo Jingli heard the sound of her turning over and asked with concern.

Tian Yao lay quietly and pretended to be asleep, but she didn't want to pay attention to him.

When she finally heard the sound of the man sleeping soundly, she got up slowly, but she didn't want to lie in the same room with him anymore, so she moved outside, looking at the distant bright moon, which was so far away.

Come to think of it, hasn't that Ah Li brother also become out of reach? I can't help but feel even more depressed.

......

When the rooster crowed, Mo Jingli rubbed his ignorant eyes and looked at the bed, it was empty.

"Why did A-Yao get up so early?" He was a little confused.

When he came to the hall, Lin Zhi had already gotten up and immediately stepped forward to say goodbye.

Mo Jingli looked around, looking for Tian Yao's trace, and saw her coming from the door, holding a cup of steaming fragrant tea in her hand, her eyes slightly red and swollen.

Light steps came to Mo Jingli, "Your Highness, please use tea." The tone was very respectful, and he lowered his pretty face.

This made Mo Jingli very uncomfortable, but the matter had come to this point, and he had to continue acting.

Putting down the fragrant tea, Tian Yao stood beside Mo Jingli and helped knead his shoulders, and the service was quite thoughtful, and Mo Jingli felt even more uncomfortable.

"No need to rub it, just wait on the side." Mo Jingli said softly, not like he treated a maidservant, and then picked up the cup of tea and smelled it.

"Dad, there's a guest at home?" A slightly chubby young man walked in briskly, his eyes shining. It's a bit heroic.

Seeing him come in, Lin Zhi hurriedly introduced, "Don't be rude, this is His Royal Highness the current prince, please don't say hello!" ”

After hearing this, the young man hurriedly saluted, and his face was full of smiles, "See Your Highness!" At the same time, he found Tian Yao beside him, and glanced at him with strange eyes.

"This is the dog Lin Xuan, which makes His Highness smile." Lin Zhi hurriedly introduced Mo Jingli again, and the smile on his face was slightly unnatural.

Nodding slightly, Mo Jingli felt that this Lin Xuan was more handsome than his father, but for some reason he felt uncomfortable looking at his smile.

After a few words of greeting, Lin Xuan stood still and looked at Tian Yao, feeling that she was an outstanding beauty.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, is this girl next to you your handmaiden?" The words were a little frivolous, and he kept glancing.

Mo Jing didn't know so he nodded slightly. Lin Zhi was a little flustered on the side, for fear that his son would cause some trouble, so he kept looking at Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan's eyes were all on Tian Yao, and he didn't pay attention to his father's reminder at all.

"Your Highness, I see that this servant girl of yours is outstanding, can you give it to you? I am willing to send a few girls to serve you, I don't know if His Highness is willing to give it! Lin Xuan boldly exposed his true nature and completely ignored the other party's magnate.

Lin Zhi was so angry that he immediately stood up, and he couldn't wait to go up and give his son two mouths, "Lin Xuan, you are bold!" "I was trembling all over.

Wan Er smiled, Mo Jingli really didn't expect him to make such an outrageous request.

"It doesn't matter how she looks first, she has been with me for many years, and Her Royal Highness can't do without her care, and she can't give up even if there are thousands of beauties to change her." As he spoke, Mo Jingli's tone changed greatly, and his face became serious, and no one was allowed to be the slightest bit indifferent to Tian Yao.

When Lin Xuan heard this, he refused to give up even a handmaid, and he was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and strode out of here.

"Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins!" Lin Zhi couldn't help but step forward to make amends, his face was full of panic, and he hated his son who didn't know the height of the sky.

With a cold snort, Mo Jingli pulled Tian Yao and walked out.

"It seems that your Highness can't live here!" His face was pale, and he was panting through his nose, and he was extremely angry.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Stay! Dogs are not sensible, don't you blame them? Lin Zhi was extremely flustered, and he didn't know what to do.
