The night breeze was blowing, a few stars were scattered in the sky, and a red figure by the lake was moving fast.

Xia Taozhi was dressed in complicated palace clothes, and she couldn't even take a step, so she could only hold the skirt with one hand, and the other hand supported the crumbling golden step on her head, and chased after her with small broken steps.

Xiao Lianxu ...... Wait for me, Xiao Lianxu...... Hey, Xiao Lianxu! ”

The people in front of her shouted more and more, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "...... Stop! ”

Only then did the man in red stop, turned around, and looked at her expressionlessly: "...... Princess Ling, is there anything wrong? ”

The tone is cold and detached, with a stubborn indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.

She is angry, what kind of attitude does this two hundred and five have?!

"Didn't you hear me call you?"

"I didn't hear you."

“……”

She choked and squinted her eyes at Xiao Lianxu. Which tendon is wrong with this man? Since coming back from Suoyu City, he has been yin and yang.

"What's wrong with you? What's weird? She asked strangely, "Wasn't it okay when we locked up Jade City, why did you get angry as soon as you came back?" ”

When Xiao Lianxu heard her mention Suo Yucheng, his face became even more ugly, and an imperceptible redness appeared at the base of his ears, and he turned his face aside, not even wanting to look at her.

？？？

Do you hate her so much?

She was confused, racking her brains to think about it, and finally thought that Xiao Lianxu was not angry because she didn't compete with him, then this person was also stingy!

She almost lost her life in Suoyu City, and he still cares about this with her? She drank "One Night Spring" for him, so she can be regarded as a friendship!

"Hey, you're ......"

Xiao Lianxu didn't wait for her to finish, interrupted her in a cold voice, and asked again: "Princess Ling, is there something wrong with me?" ”

Uncle's! This bastard thing! She had no doubt that if she said it was okay at this time, Xiao Lianxu would immediately turn around and leave without hesitation.

"Something!" She said angrily, turned her head to Peony who was following her and said, "Peony, you go to the front first, I have something to say to Xiao Gongzi." ”

Peony looked hesitant, "Niangniang...... This, I'm afraid this is inappropriate......" She desperately hinted to Xia Taozhi with her eyes, Niangniang, this is the palace! There are many people, and if they are seen, it will be terrible to spread the word!

Xia Taozhi said: "It's okay, I'll be fine soon." ”

Peony had to obediently go to the front and guard, secretly praying in her heart that no one would pass by here.

The night breeze gently blows across the lake, causing the trees on the shore to sway and rustle. A few points of starlight were reflected in the lake, like a jewel falling into the dark curtain, sparsely glowing.

The two stood opposite each other by the lake, with different expressions on their faces.

Xiao Lianxu looked impatient, "What's the matter with you?" Speak quickly. ”

Xia Taozhi rolled her eyes and said, "Do you remember the pattern of the jade pendant on Xuanyuan Geng's neck that we saw in Xiangyu's room at that time?" ”

Xiao Lianxu didn't expect her to ask this, so she was stunned and said, "Remember." ”

How could he not remember? Not only is it the pattern of the jade pendant, even her smile, the fragrance on her body, and even the feeling of holding her in her arms...... The bits and pieces of Suo Yucheng and her will appear in his dreams every night, making him unable to forget it.

But what could he do? She wasn't his after all.

Xiao Lianxu's eyes showed a faint sense of loss and sadness, and he quickly came back to his senses, "What are you asking for?" ”

Xia Taozhi said: "Don't worry about it, draw it out and show it to me." With that, he picked up a branch from the side and handed it to Xiao Lianxu.

Xiao Lianxu frowned and took it, "What do you want to do?" ”

Xia Taozhi thought about it, but still told him: "I want to check the details of Xuanyuan Geng." ”

"You want to check him?!"

"Yes." She briefly told Xiao Lianxu about Xuanyuan Geng's assassination of Prince Xitu, "Don't you think it's strange? At that time, we obviously heard Xuanyuan Geng say that he went to Suoyu City to take revenge, but he actually went to assassinate Prince Xitu, could it be that his enemy was Prince Xitu? Also, didn't you say that you had seen this jade pendant in the Xiao family? Maybe Xuanyuan Geng's mother is also related to the Xiao family, don't you think you're curious? ”

I don't think so.

Xiao Lianxu didn't care about Xuanyuan Geng's affairs at all, he only cared about someone. "What about when you find out? What do you want to do? ”

Xia Taozhi raised her head and replied to him: "Take the initiative to prevent future troubles." She had already thought about it, instead of worrying about Xuanyuan Geng from time to time that he would rush out of some invisible shadow to kill her, it was better to take the initiative to find him out and solve it.

"No way!" Xiao Lianxu blurted out without thinking about it: "It's too dangerous!"

What was this woman thinking? Xuanyuan Geng is an outlaw and ruthless, doesn't she know how dangerous it is? And isn't she afraid of Xuanyuan Geng?

"Huh...... Mr. Xiao, are you concerned about me? ”

Tsk, this two hundred and five, just pretending to ignore her!

Xiao Lianxu's face was filled with a thin layer of anger, and he threw the branch in anger and shouted, "Who cares about you?!" If you're going to die, you're going to go...... I ...... that pattern I forgot...... I can't draw it! ”

Xia Taozhi yelled at him stunned, but he didn't expect Xiao Lianxu to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, and suddenly he was angry, bent down and picked up the branch, fell on him, and said angrily: "...... What are your tantrums? Inexplicable! If you don't paint, you don't paint, when I beg you, what? It's a big deal if I have to figure it out myself, I don't believe that I have searched the entire Dongchu, and I can't find out Xuanyuan Geng! ”

She turned her head and left, but Xiao Lianxu suddenly grabbed her hand from behind and pulled her. She was defenseless, and her body fell straight backwards, falling into a cold embrace.

Both froze.

Xiao Lianxu rushed to his head with a reckless anger, his brain was hot, and he reached out and grabbed her without thinking about it. He was full of thoughts that he couldn't let her go to Xuanyuan Geng, or maybe there were some inexplicable emotions controlling him, in short, the ghost sent the gods, and he pulled her into his arms.

Under the four eyes, the pupils of both of them reflected each other's dull faces.

Xia Taozhi's mind was blank, her brain seemed to be smashed by a big hammer, smashing her into a daze, she even forgot to struggle, and just looked at Xiao Lianxu so fixedly.

There was a cough on the side, and she didn't hear it, until a cold voice sounded, like a burst of thunder that struck her Heavenly Spirit Gai, and made her soul burn.

“…… How long will you hold on like this? ”

She suddenly shook her spirit, broke free of Xiao Lianxu, and turned her head to look back. There was a man standing in the shadow under the tree behind him, the expression on his face was a little unreal, and there was a light smile on the corner of his mouth, like mockery, and his eyes were not warm at all, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.

The tsundere prince took his hands, slowly paced forward, pulled Xia Taozhi behind him, and said coolly: "Xiao Lianxu, your courage is really big!" ”

He made a lot of effort, pulling Xia Taozhi to stumble, and his arm hurt. Then his hand was held tightly, and she couldn't break free no matter what.

Xia Taozhi knew that he must have misunderstood, and opened her mouth to explain, but she opened her mouth several times, but she didn't know what to say, and the terrifying anger on his body made her panic, and her organs twitched in panic.

Peony winked at her vigorously, signaling her not to talk nonsense to make His Highness angry. She was also very anxious in her heart, she had been trying to warn her just now, but her mother didn't notice it at all, what should she do now? His Highness seems to be really angry......

Song Yuanxi raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, his eyes were full of coldness: "Xiao Lianxu, what crime should you be guilty of offending the princess of this king?" ”

Xiao Lianxu's lips gradually turned pale, his hands were coldly clasped at his side, his eyes were fixed on their clenched hands, he closed his eyes, and said: "The last general is reckless for a while, and I ask His Royal Highness King Ling to punish him." ”

"Yes, very good!" Song Yuanxi's expression slowly revealed a trace of coldness, and then the long sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and the cold silver light flashed, and he said sharply: "In this way, these hands will be given up!" ”

"Your Highness!"

Xia Taozhi struggled to break free, and hurriedly moved forward in a few steps, stopping in front of Xiao Lianxu: "Your Highness...... It's a misunderstanding! ”

"Misunderstanding?" Song Yuanxi almost laughed angrily, "When this king is blind? ”

“……”

Xia Taozhi knew that he was angry at the moment, and he might not be able to listen to what she said. But she categorically couldn't let him cut off Xiao Lianxu's hand like this. Although she was also a little confused, she hadn't figured out what the situation was until now, and she hadn't figured out what was wrong with Xiao Lianxu, but no matter what, she couldn't bear to let Xiao Lianxu's hands be abolished by the tsundere prince like this.

Xiao Lianxu, a 205 who has no ability to survive, if he doesn't have these hands that can sword and play the piano, what can he do in the future?

Thinking about it, she blocked the tip of his cold sword with her hand, leaned forward a few steps, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, shook it gently, and said in a soft tone: "It's really not what you think, let's go back and talk about it, okay?" ”

What she wanted was to save Xiao Lianxu tonight, and when she went back and explained it clearly to the tsundere prince, he would be angry, and naturally she would no longer embarrass Xiao Lianxu.

She thought simply, go back first, but the tsundere prince remained motionless and deaf.

She whispered again, "...... Shall we go back first? Don't be impulsive and put your sword away first. ”

Song Yuanxi's already cold eyes finally turned into a piercing cold silence, he looked at her and let out an expressionless "um". Then he put his sword in his sheath, turned his head and left. His steps were so great that his figure faded away in the night wind.

Xia Taozhi didn't look at Xiao Lianxu, hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt, and followed with small steps.

Hey, what are these men doing so fast?
