There is the sound of water dripping in the cave, which makes the quiet cave even more weird, especially the strange-shaped stones in the cave, like monsters squatting there, ready to open their mouths and swallow people in one bite.

After listening carefully, there was no sound of anyone talking in the cave, and both of them couldn't help but be afraid, especially Kyaukjiao. She didn't want to come to this bead curtain cave, because it was also a nightmare for her. As early as when he was a child, my grandfather brought a few grandchildren to play in the Bead Curtain Cave, and the children were curious and longed to run in the cave. I still remember that she didn't want to go at that time, girls, they would be afraid of the dark.

"Kyaukjiao is a coward!" It was because of this sentence that Ye Jiaojiao resolutely stepped into the Bead Curtain Cave, even if she was lazy and lazy, she was still a little bloody. But that little bit of blood ran away when she saw the dark hole. Later, several brothers came up and went into the cave with her, and she was grateful, thinking that these brothers were not bad after all. But what happened later made her want to kick all her brothers down the mountain, and the brothers left her alone in the hole.

"Woo!" Petite, she squatted in the hole and cried, it was so dark that she didn't even dare to raise her head. When the family found her, she lay on top of her father and never came down. After returning home, I had a serious illness, and I didn't get better, and then I invited a goddess, saying that the soul was scared away, and it took a French ceremony to call her soul back.

As for that incident, when the brothers came home, they were almost beaten to death by their fathers. Then, whenever Ye Jiaojiao was bullied, these brothers would suffer, ranging from kneeling in the ancestral hall to sticks. This is also a small feud between her and her brothers.

"Princess, why haven't you caught up after walking for so long?" Ani asked worriedly, "It's very dark in this hole, why don't we go out and wait?" ”

How's that going to work? What if the nephews are poisoned by youkai? At this flower-like age, he was urged to pay it back? As an elder, he should protect his nephew. "Let's go further and see!"

"Hey, princess, there's the sound of water!" Ani paused and argued about where the voice came from, "It seems to be ahead." ”

"Check it out!" Ye Jiaojiao wiped the sweat on her head, bent over and continued to walk forward, because it was past noon, but she didn't eat, her chest was already hungry and her back was sticking to her back, and most of the sweat on her body was sweat.

The sound of the water became louder, and by the light of the torches, Ye Jiaojiao saw a river, and the water flowed down from the stone wall, fell into the hole, and gathered into a pool.

The sound of the rushing water, the surface of the pool is black, and it is a little crazy, as if a big snake will always come out of the water and open its bloody mouth......

"Let's go back!" Ye Jiaojiao gave up, this hole is really terrible, the nephews are on their own.

Ani felt that the princess's decision this time was correct, and turned around and walked to the front to illuminate Ye Jiaojiao. Who knew that as soon as she finished praising her princess in her heart, she heard a miserable scream, and when she turned around, there was no one in her head.

"Princess! Where are you! Ani shouted anxiously.

"Ani, pull me up!" Ye Jiaojiao just stepped on the moss and slid down the stone wall on the side, and was humming in pain, "My foot is broken!" ”

"Princess, you hold my hand." Ani leaned down and stretched her arms down.

Ye Jiaojiao couldn't stand up with a sore foot, "I can't reach it!" She couldn't help but be afraid, the stone walls around her were so damp, she couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, she was so frightened.

Ani shone the surroundings with a torch, and Ye Jiaojiao fell on a raised stone, and there was a deep crack underneath. There was no way down, and she couldn't save the princess on her own.

"Princess, I'll go find someone!" Ani said to Ye Jiaojiao, who kept shouting in pain, "You wait here." ”

"Ani, don't go!" Ye Jiaojiao hurriedly stopped, she was afraid that she would stay alone in this dark cave, just like when she was a child.

"But I'm going to call someone to save you!" Ani thinks that the princess is a little willful, when has this been.

Ye Jiaojiao also seemed to understand, "You go!" Hurry up! Just wait a while, it's okay, she comforted herself.

Ani is gone, leaving endless darkness to accompany Ye Jiaojiao. There was only the sound of falling water, and the feeling of being wet all over my body, and I couldn't even move my feet. What does it mean to do what you can? She realized.

It's like going back to when she was a child, she curled up and buried her head, afraid to look around. She grew up and shouldn't cry, but she still couldn't help it, strength never belonged to her, and she sobbed softly.

"Who's there?" In the cold cave, that familiar voice came.

Ye Jiaojiao couldn't believe it, she raised her head and saw a ball of fire, "It's me!" Her voice trembled.

Zheng Luoting walked to the waterhole and found Ye Jiaojiao in a stone crevice, she was very embarrassed, the fire shone on her face, reflecting the tears on her face.

"Why are you here?" Is this woman self-inflicted? If you have a good life, you have to run around.

"I came to look for you in the cave, but I couldn't find it, and my foot slipped and I fell." Ye Jiaojiao said patiently, but she was complaining in her heart that Leng talked too much and didn't do anything to save herself. "My foot is broken, I can't move!"

What a troublesome woman. Zheng Luoting stuck the torch on the ground and jumped off the stone wall lightly, "I'll help you up." ”

Ye Jiaojiao was a little uncomfortable, she felt that with Zheng Luoting's cold personality, she would definitely leave her here and leave. "What about the sons of the Ye family?" Why is he alone, his nephews?

This woman who has not changed her heart is all so depressed, and she still thinks about other men. "They went out the other way."

"What about Uncle Huang? Not with you? "The most important thing is the monster," Ye Jiaojiao continued to ask.

"Zhao Jiaojiao! What a lot of nonsense you talk about! "Did she set her sights on Uncle Huang again?" If you want to stay here, I will fulfill you. ”

Ye Jiaojiao grabbed Zheng Luoting, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life!" In order not to make the cold person regret it, she hurriedly said, "How can I go up?" ”

"I'll push you up!" Zheng Luoting looked at the stone wall more than a zhang high, and he frowned, "You come here." ”

Ye Jiaojiao stood in front of the stone wall with her legs limp, and in the faint light, she saw Zheng Luoting staring at the stone wall and thinking something, with a focused expression. She propped her hands on the stone wall, thinking that she didn't have to go up now, Ani would bring someone in a while, she was just afraid of being left alone.

After a closer look, Zheng Luoting said, "You will climb up the edge of the stone in a while." ”

Isn't that just physical contact? Ye Jiaojiao was unhappy in her heart, and besides, if her hand slipped and she fell into the crack, she would die. She hesitated and didn't walk over.

Zheng Luoting was a man of action, he came over a few steps and squatted down directly, hugged Ye Jiaojiao's two calves and pushed them up, "Grab it!" ”

Ye Jiaojiao screamed in fright, grabbed the bulge on the stone wall with both hands, and didn't care about anything else, just desperately climbed up. While the hands were exerting, the intact foot was not idle, and he tried hard to find a solid place to step on.

This stupid woman actually stepped on his face with her foot, and Zheng Luoting below tilted her head to avoid Ye Jiaojiao's ruthless black feet. Anyway, she climbed up, and seemed to be able to hear her breathe a sigh of relief. He also climbed up on a few protrusions.

"Thank you!" Ye Jiaojiao rubbed her calves and thanked her, she really didn't expect him to help her.

Pulling out the torch on the ground, Zheng Luoting straightened his somewhat messy clothes, "I'll carry you out!" ”

Stunned again, Ye Jiaojiao remembered the woman who pretended to be dizzy at the bottom of the mountain, could it be that Leng Ren really just wanted to save people, not wanted to get close to the beauty as he thought? Because he is in trouble, he will help even if he doesn't like him.

"No need." After all, men and women are not close to each other, and Ye Jiaojiao has never been close to men.

As if realizing this, Zheng Luoting coughed, "I'll call someone, you stay here." As he spoke, he was about to walk away, but he was grabbed by the corner of his robe.

"Don't go!" Ye Jiaojiao's voice was very small, and if he didn't listen carefully, he would be covered by the sound of rushing water in the cave. She was so afraid of being alone here, as helpless as she was when she was a child, and it was pitch black all around, and monsters hidden in the darkness would come out and swallow her in one bite.

For the first time, Zheng Luoting felt that this hypocritical woman was actually a coward, the tears on her face had not yet dried, and her hand had not been released. Does she have times when she is afraid? He sat silently aside, reinserting the torch on the ground and arranging his bracers.

He didn't leave himself, Ye Jiaojiao raised his eyes and looked over, the two didn't say a word, fortunately there was still the sound of water, otherwise the atmosphere was indeed weird.

"Is everything done in Juezhou?" should still say a few words, Ye Jiaojiao has nothing to say.

"Yes!" Zheng Luoting never looked over, "I am afraid that there will be an epidemic after the catastrophe, and doctors and medicines have been sent there." ”

"Oh!" was silent again, Ye Jiaojiao felt that the two of them were actually not much stronger than strangers.

A piece of fire came towards this side, and Ye Jiaojiao's heart was finally saved. This bead curtain cave is to restrain her, and she will not come again if she is killed in the future.

Fortunately, there were preparations, and the two guards carried the stretcher out of the hole, and it was the honorably wounded Ye Jiaojiao on it. Rong Xiu and the sons of the Ye family looked over.

It was impossible to continue playing, and everyone had to go down the mountain. As the culprit, Ye Jiaojiao cried with a sad face, her feet hurt, and she didn't feel good in her heart, and she didn't know if her nephews complained about her failure in their hearts.

"Haha!" Lang laughed out of place, but Rong Xiu stared at Luo Ting with a funny expression, "Luo Ting, you are out of shape!" ”

Someone has actually found out a long time ago, but who dares to say? Ye Jiaojiao Ye looked over, isn't it, there is a sole mark on the cold man's face. He thought he had stepped on it, but the hole was slippery, so the mud stains remained on his face.

Zheng Luoting frowned and wiped it a few times, but directly wiped his face.

"Ani, you send him over." Ye Jiaojiao took out her handkerchief and handed it to Ani.

Ani understood and handed the veil to Zheng Luoting.

Seeing Zheng Luoting looking at herself, Ye Jiaojiao smiled at her, maybe this encounter will ease the relationship between the two, maybe they will really get along like friends? She thought so.

"You're going to help her?" On the way down the mountain, Rong Xiu asked seemingly unintentionally.

"After all, she is the princess of Chu State, and besides, she is a woman, can't she be saved when she dies?" In fact, Zheng Luoting didn't understand, obviously he hated this woman.

When he returned to Ye's house, it was already dark, and because someone had already come back to announce, Lang Zhong was already waiting at home.

Ye Jiaojiao, who had endured all the way, couldn't hold back anymore when she saw the Wang family, and cried aggrieved loudly, if it was before, how could she suffer such a crime. Her move really made Zheng Luoting unable to see clearly.

I saw that in the courtyard of the embroidery building, Ye Jiaojiao was crying very much, and the Wang family on the side wiped her tears, her face full of distress. Zheng Luoting thought that the Wang family was good to Ye Jiaojiao because this woman was like her daughter.

Fortunately, Lang Zhong saw it and said that he only sprained his ankle and did not hurt his muscles and bones, and the people present were relieved.

It was late at night, and Wang didn't want to stay any longer, but there was a lot of worry in his eyes, but he had to leave. whispered a few words, explained to Ani, and then left.

Ye Jiaojiao held Ani's arm and climbed up to the second floor with difficulty. habitually walked to his room, but saw Zheng Luoting sitting in the room at the door. sighed, and walked to Koma with a limp.

When the sigh disappeared, Zheng Luoting looked back at the slender figure, and then looked back at the scroll on the shelf. Two steps passed, unfolded again, the woman in the painting seems to jump out of the paper, is there really such a similar person in the world?

The next day, it was supposed to be the day to leave for Beijing, but the weather was not beautiful, and it rained heavily, and the group had to give up the original plan, wanting to wait for the sky to clear before going on the road.

Ye Jiaojiao's feet are better than yesterday, but the road is still unwalkable, and she is a lazy person, she can lie on the bed all the time, and she must be crazy if she is someone else.

"Ani, why didn't the old lady come today?" Ye Jiaojiao thought that a few days ago, after the knowledge, her mother had already come to see her, but today she has been delayed in the future.

"I heard that the Ye family has a guest, what about in the front hall?" Ani replied, "The two Highnesses have also passed. ”

With such a heavy rain still coming as a guest, it must be a local gentry who wants to stammer.

Just as he was thinking, Wang walked in. In front of Ani, the etiquette that should be done still has to be done.

Ye Jiaojiao sent Ani to play with the girl, and she could talk to her mother. Wang always said three words without leaving his daughter's foot injury, and 120,000 points of advice.

"With such a heavy rain today, who came to the house as a guest?" Ye Jiaojiao couldn't stand her mother's nagging and diverted the topic.

"The Qin family on the south bank of the river, Qin Xian, who came to the house to talk to you before." Wang said, "I brought my daughter here today." ”

I carefully recalled who my mother was talking about, and it didn't take long for her to say it, but I couldn't remember what Qin Xian looked like, and I didn't expect that he was a father. "I remember that the two of us didn't interact with each other before, right?"

"Thank you for yesterday's events." Wang took a sip of tea, "You were there at the time, right?" His Royal Highness King Xi helped a girl, who was Miss Qin. Speaking of which, they came to find King Xi. ”

I understand, it was the beauty who didn't die yesterday and wanted to continue to be a demon. Ye Jiaojiao moved his stump leg, how did this dignity beat the mandarin duck in the past? If you don't go over, will you let that beauty hook up with a cold person and follow her back to Beijing?

"Mother, I want to go over and have a look!" Ye Jiaojiao opened his mouth and said, it's better to be lame than dead!

Wang knows her daughter's temperament, but she will never stretch out her hand if she can ignore it, and now she hurts her leg but wants to go to the front hall, there has always been something wrong. Still, she was worried, "Is there something I can't do?" ”

"I'll go myself, it's my business." Ye Jiaojiao smiled and carefully set off to stand up.

The rain continued unabated, and Ye Jiaojiao got on a donkey cart and went to the front hall. Through the rain curtain, you can see a faint figure in the hall. Since returning to the mortal world again, she has not had a moment of leisure, and she is really worried that if she continues to work hard like this, she will be born early.

dragged the lame into the pavilion, and the people around him were full, except for the two princes, the rest of the people all bent down and saluted. Ye Jiaojiao caught a glimpse of the beauty standing behind a middle-aged man, and thought that she must have picked up a lot of life before coming here, dressed elegantly, with simple and fresh makeup, which made people look good, of course, this is limited to men, and Jiaojiao will not have this feeling.

"Yesterday, I saw Miss Qin faint, I just pinched her with my hand, how can I bother Master Qin to come in person." Listen, it's Miss Ben who saves the beauty, not a cold person, and you have to thank the right person. Ye Jiaojiao didn't care about the eyes of everyone present, and directly led all the kindness to herself.

Qin Xian didn't expect Ye Jiaojiao to be there, and he wouldn't give his daughter a chance when he heard the tone, so he was a little at a loss on the spot.

"But Miss Qin was sent back by Luo Ting to Chu Xing, and if they have the heart to say thank you, they must be extremely hearted." Rong Xiu is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

This dead monster still has the face to speak, and he was stuffed with a beauty at that time, and he didn't take advantage of such a cheap thing, and he was really stunned by the male sex. "Yes, yes, what about Chu Xing?" Ye Jiaojiao helped Ani to look around, "Why aren't you here?" ”

"I'm out on errands." Zheng Luoting on the side spit out a few words, this woman is lame and so restless, she wants to intervene anywhere. Thinking about it, I glanced at Ye Jiaojiao's feet, and couldn't help but think of her tear-stained face yesterday, which was a rare weakness.

"Oh!" Ye Jiaojiao nodded, and limped in front of Qin Meiren, "Poor thing, how can such a bright girl stand it under the big sun?" He sighed as if he was sorry.

"Princess Xie is worried, I don't have anything big." Miss Qin could hear the sarcasm in Ye Jiaojiao's words, which meant that she braved the sun to seduce the prince. It's just that I originally wanted to see the excitement, but His Royal Highness King Naxi was so good that he lost his mind after looking at it. If you can get his blue eyes......

Ye Jiaojiao sat on the chair that Ani moved, and smiled deeply at Miss Qin's sisterhood, in the past, the brothers said that she was hypocritical, but in fact, hypocrisy also has its advantages, that is, her conscience will not hurt.

"One of your girls fainted, and it was natural to send you back." Today, I will let you see what bullying is, and in the future, the one who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead will dare to covet the cold beauty. "It's just that you see, Chu Xing went out to do errands. Why don't I ask him to go to the Qin Mansion to find you? "Since you miss a man so much, I'll stuff one for you.

Miss Qin's Yingying eyes were full of surprise, "Princess, I ......"

"Miss Qin doesn't have to shirk, as a woman, of course I understand your feelings." Ye Jiaojiao didn't give Miss Qin a chance to speak, and instead said to Qin Xian: "Chu Xing is the most powerful person around His Highness, his appearance and character are good, Master Qin will definitely like it when he sees it." ”

Now even Qin Xian's face has changed, why can't he hear that this princess wants to give her daughter to the palace guard yesterday? "Princess, in fact, I brought my little girl here this time just to say thank you." How can you let your daughter marry a guard?

Ye Jiaojiao secretly observed Zheng Luoting's face, and saw that he had not changed much, only lowered his head and drank tea, thinking that he didn't take a fancy to this Miss Qin! Also, Miss Qin is beautiful, she always lacks everyone's temperament, and she is not as good as Chen Lingyin. Since Leng Ren has no opinion, it is better to kill them all.

"I think Miss Qin and Chu Xinglang are talented and beautiful, and the more you look at them, the more suitable they are." Ye Jiaojiao was very satisfied with Miss Qin, and couldn't stop nodding.

Miss Qin's face turned white, she didn't know how to answer, and looked at her father helplessly.

Qin Xiangang wanted to speak, but was intercepted by others. But it was Zheng Rongxiu who stood up and laughed, "Isn't it possible to eat happy wine when you come to Jingcheng this time?" ”

Is this monster nervous today? Ye Jiaojiao was so surprised, how could he help himself? "Uncle Huang also thinks it's feasible?"

"Just like Princess Kyaukjiao said, she is talented and beautiful." Zheng Rongxiu looked at Ye Jiaojiao and cooperated: "What's more, doesn't it mean that the grace of saving lives should be promised by yourself?" ”

"Ahem!" Zheng Luoting was obviously choked by the tea, "Uncle Huang! He reminded in a low voice that it was not appropriate to say that everyone was present.

"Are you reluctant to give up Chu Xing?" Rong Xiu obviously had his own thoughts, "It's time for him to get married." ”

"Yes!" Ye Jiaojiao said busily, "Miss Qin is so good-looking, I am very satisfied with it. ”

The father and daughter of the Qin family were completely dumbfounded, they originally wanted their daughter to be beautiful and whether they could climb to the imperial family, but they didn't want things to develop to this point. Look at the princess and King Qi, you say a word to me, as if you have already booked your daughter's is.

"Actually, the little girl has already decided on someone!" Qin Xian hurriedly interjected, and if he didn't say anything, the two of them would start to decorate the wedding hall. "Thank you for your kindness, but it's really inappropriate to do so." There was a flattering smile on his face.

As if it was a pity, Ye Jiaojiao smiled: "So that's the case, when will Miss Qin get married?" "I'm going to beat the water dogs, see how you make it up? I want to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and I can't see that I will bury you alive!

"Next year......" Qin Xian's face became more and more ugly.

"You must be a very good person, right?" Ye Jiaojiao looked at Miss Qin and smiled gently, "It's also a Jingcheng clan?" ”

Miss Qin doesn't have as much experience as Qin Xian, so she can't make it up, so she just bows her head and twists the handkerchief in her hand.

"That's it!" In the end, Zheng Luoting wanted to stop this farce, "It's a big deal, let's go back!" ”

Qin Xianru was pardoned, and hurriedly dragged his daughter out of the Ye family.
