Duan Liyan raised his head silently, his eyes calmly looking at Xiao Qianfeng.

"What's the matter with the Fourth Highness?"

Xiao Qianfeng gave Duan Liyan a smile that he thought was personable, and his voice was extremely gentle.

"Miss Duan, at the birthday banquet just now, thanks to you for catching those two poisonous snakes, otherwise I don't know what the consequences would be. ”

Xiao Qianfeng suddenly thanked her, which made her even more puzzled, she had no intersection with him at all, and thanking her here at this time made her really feel very uncomfortable.

"I didn't know what to do, I learned to catch snakes with my great-grandfather when I was a child, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today. Duan Liyan said lightly, I don't know why, this Fourth Highness Xiao Duanfeng always gave her a feeling of scheming, which made her unconsciously want to distance herself from him.

"Oh, the method of catching snakes seems to be very powerful, I wonder if Miss Duan can teach me?" Xiao Qianfeng looked very interested, and looked at Duan Lixian with burning eyes.

Duan Liyan frowned secretly, she had nothing to flatter, I am afraid she had ulterior motives, she didn't want to have anything to do with this Xiao Qianfeng.

It's just that, because of his identity, she couldn't refuse directly, so she thought for a while and said solemnly, "Your Highness, this snake catching method is a bit dangerous to learn, you are the proud son of heaven, your status is noble, and you are afraid that you will miss something, so you dare not respond." ”

"It doesn't matter, manly man, how can he be afraid of danger. Xiao Qianfeng looked indifferent, his eyes kept staring at Duan Liyan.

I couldn't help but slander in my heart, what is this Xiao Qianfeng thinking, why is he so entangled?

"Death. ”

At this time, a familiar male voice sounded, and the two turned their heads to look.

Xiao Qianhuan was dressed in navy blue brocade, and the tight cuffs were embroidered with gold thread leaves. His inky hair is tied with ribbons of the same color, which makes his face even more angular, handsome and masculine with an unconcealable manhood.

Seeing him coming, Duan Lixian breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and was worried about how to get rid of Xiao Qianfeng, her thoughts were so nervous that she didn't notice what Xiao Duanhuan called her just now.

It's just that Xiao Qianfeng on the side has dark eyebrows, and the sound of the death that sounded quite intimate just now made him feel ripples in his heart.

His intuition told him that the relationship between the two men seemed to be a little delicate.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. Duan Liyan saw Xiao Duhuan approaching, and hurriedly curtsied.

"You're welcome. Taking a deep look at Duan Liyan, Xiao Qianhuan looked at Xiao Qianfeng.

"Brother Huang. Xiao Qianfeng restrained his emotions and arched his hand at Xiao Qianhuan.

"I heard that the fourth brother is about to marry the side concubine, congratulations. Xiao Duhuan was rare, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Qianfeng glanced at Duan Lixian and smiled a little wryly, "Ah, yes, Brother Xie Huang, that, Li Shizi is still waiting for me, I'll go first!"

Looking at the back of Xiao Qianfeng leaving in a hurry, Duan Lixian let out a big sigh.

Turning her head, she looked at Xiao Qianhuan, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm going back too." ”

"Wait a minute. ”

Xiao Duhuan instinctively stretched out his hand and grabbed Duan Liyan's wrist!

The slightly cool fingers touched her skin, making Duan Liyan feel a strange feeling in his heart for some reason.

"And ...... What's the matter?" Duan Liyan asked a little uncomfortable, lowered his head, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand from Xiao Qianhuan's hand.

"Just now, thank you. Xiao Qianhuan looked at Duan Liyan deeply, his fingers were slightly forced, and he didn't want to let go.

"It doesn't matter, it is an honor to be able to save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Duan Liyan's words were very polite, and Xiao Duanhuan frowned when he heard it.

"That, I'm going to hurry back to boil medicine for my mother, I'm out of company!" As he spoke, Duan Li broke free from Xiao Wanhuan and walked forward quickly.

No, a tall figure blocked in front of her like the wind.

"I'll send you. Xiao Duan looked at Duan Lixian directly, his voice was not high, but it was with unquestionable firmness.

Without waiting for Duan Lixian to react, Xiao Duanhuan pulled her into the carriage.

"Miss!" Ah Xiang hurriedly followed, Jin Guan's eyes were quick at this time, and he grabbed Ah Xiang, "That, Miss Ah Xiang, my master is very good, and he won't bully your eldest lady." ”

Ah Xiang couldn't, so she could only keep up with Xiao Qianhuan's carriage.

"Today, you saved me, count, it's a life-saving grace, do you have anything you want?" In the carriage, Xiao Duhuan looked at Duan Li, who was close at hand, and his tongue was a little knotted.

Duan Liyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I said it all, it's just a trivial matter, you can't help but be too serious." ”

Looking at the alienation and vigilance that Duan Lixian revealed intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Duhuan felt a little surprised in her heart, was she afraid of him? Or was she disgusted with him?

"You, you're afraid of me?" Xiao Duhuan unconsciously asked what he thought in his heart.

Duan Liyan was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Xiao Duhuan to be so direct, but it made her a little at a loss, after thinking for a while, she said in a deep voice, "To be honest, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not only me, but anyone will have that kind of awe, after all, the identity is there, right." ”

"But I don't want you to think of me as a prince. Xiao Duhuan stared at Duan Liyan and said directly.

Duan Liyan twisted his eyebrows, didn't think about it carefully, but blurted out directly through Xiao Qianhuan's words, "Then what should I do?"

However, as soon as the words came out, Duan Liyan felt as if something was wrong, pursed his lips, and was silent.

"Assume ...... Friend. Xiao Duan looked at Duan Liyan with shining eyes, and his voice was lightened for no reason.

As soon as his heart moved, Duan Lixian tugged at the corners of his mouth, gave Xiao Qianhuan a somewhat embarrassed smile, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

At this time, the carriage was traveling through a relatively narrow and secluded alley, and the body suddenly jolted violently, Duan Liyan hurriedly held on to his seat, and muttered in his heart, every street in the capital is very flat, how can it be so bumpy.

"Is there anything scattered on the road?" said Duan Liyan, preparing to lift the curtain of the carriage to check.

Xiao Qianhuan smelled an unusual breath, quickly stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around Duan Lihuan's waist, and quickly turned around after holding her into his arms, looking at each other, Duan Lihuan looked at Xiao Qianhuan's resolute face, and his heart moved slightly.

Outside, the horses neighed in horror, their front hooves raised high, and several men in black flew out of the alley in all directions!

"There are assassins, protect Your Highness!" Jin Guan drew his sword, and with one hand, he didn't forget to pick up Ah Xiang and throw it into the carriage!

"Miss!" Ah Xiang climbed into the carriage with a frightened face and hugged Duan Liyan.

"Xiao Duanhuan!" Duan Lixian also reacted at this time, looking at Xiao Duanhuan with a little panic.

Xiao Qianhuan shook her hand tightly, and her voice was low and firm, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
