By the time Jingyun and I returned to the Prince's Mansion, Momokin was already guarding the door and was so anxious that she stomped her feet and clapped her hands.

Seeing that I was back, he hurriedly stepped forward, asking me why I came back so late, after all, it was already dark, and on the other hand, he said that Yin Linxi was worried about what was wrong with me, and sent many people out to find me.

After hearing her say that, I just barely chuckled, and then raised my legs and walked straight to the inner courtyard.

In fact, what I didn't tell her was that I deliberately waited until it was dark to go back to the prince's mansion.

Because of what Shen Xiao said, I have to care, and no matter whose order it is, Yin Linxi is indeed with Alhatu today, and the two of them are still talking and laughing like friends.

And the person who hit me, whether Yin Linxi sent it out to drag me down.

To confirm all this, I wandered the market until dark.

Now, I can't wait to find out what Yin Linxi is doing without me.

"Princess... Princess, what's wrong with you? "I don't know why, I followed behind me.

To avoid attracting attention, I glanced at the clouds.

Jingyun is really a smart girl, just at such a glance, she raised her hand to stop Taoxin.

However, where will Yin Linxi be?

Study?

My footsteps settled outside the brightly lit study, but unfortunately there were several guards guarding the doorway.

So in order not to alarm them, I jumped onto the roof with a little strength from my feet, relying on the strength of the three-legged cat.

And when I bent over my waist and carefully uncovered the glazed tiles

"Waste, I let you look at a person, you can't stand it, if it's a big deal, I'll ask you!" Yin Linxi, who was still in the white uniform during the day, had a thick anger on his face.

A man beside him knelt at his feet in fear, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that I don't want to see the princess, it's really someone who is making a hindrance, originally according to the plan, the princess has already chased after the bloodstains, but unexpectedly, Shen Youxiang stumbled sideways and robbed the princess halfway, and it was too late for us to chase after us." ”

"You said Shen Xiao" Yin Linxi paused, as if thinking about something.

That wonderful face was half-lit and half-dark under the beating of the candlelight.

My heart sank to the bottom as they spoke.

It turns out that what Shen Xiao said is true...

It's really Yin Linxi! He was really afraid that I would ruin his chances of making meritorious service in front of his father because of hatred, so he sent someone to spy on me?

How is this possible? How could Yin Linxi, whom I am familiar with, be a greedy person?

I shook my head in disbelief, still with a glimmer of hope in my heart.

Then, he tried his best to look at the man who was kneeling beside him.

But who knew this, but before he could see the man's appearance clearly, a low voice came from below, "Who?" ”

Worst! It's revealed!

I was so frightened that I was about to flee the scene.

But in the panic, it was as if something had hit my feet.

The roof I was stepping on suddenly collapsed, and my body fell uncontrollably...

Dead!

This phrase popped up in my head.

But the imaginable pain did not come, but my body was in the middle of the fall, and the ground suddenly lightened.

Then I took a few quick turns.

When I came to my senses, the back collar of my shirt was being lifted in my hand, and the man who had caught me had already settled.

"Who dares to eavesdrop!"

In front of me was Yin Linxi, with a grim face, holding a black chess piece between his slender fingers.

There was a chessboard not far behind him, and there were exactly two missing pieces in the chess game it had laid out, so... Was it a pawn that just hit me?

"It's me!" I raised my eyelids and stared straight at Yin Linxi.

The face that was more and more vivid in the candlelight was stunned, and then quickly rescued me from the guard who was holding my back collar.

He hugged my shoulders nervously, "Su'er, how could it be you?" Are you okay? ”

"How could it be me?" I tilted my head to look at him, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously overflowed with a sneer, "What? You seem surprised to see me, did I ruin your big thing? Prince Linxi! ”

"Su'er!" Yin Linxi looked at me with a complicated expression.

Then I waved away the hand he had placed on my shoulder and turned to look at the guards.

Sure enough, one of them couldn't dodge his gaze, so he had to hang his head down on his chest.

Of course, I didn't let him go so easily.

So I strode forward and grabbed the man by the hem of his clothes, and when I saw that he was the one who had deliberately lured me out of the bazaar during the day, the last shred of hope in my heart was completely extinguished in an instant.

"Who is he?" I stared at Yin Linxi tightly.

He smiled bitterly, "Listen to me, you believe me, everything is not what you think!" ”

"Believe? Huh..."I sneered even more, "what do you make me believe in you?" Do you believe that you really did not go out for a few days to deal with political affairs in the study, or do you believe that you are afraid that because of Alhatu's visit to Xianyu, I will miss the opportunity for you to play a prince in front of your father and emperor out of hatred, so as to deliberately hide from me, and even let people spy on me? ”

"That's what you think of me? Am I such a merit seeker in your eyes? ”

Yin Linxi had a little disappointment on his face, then raised his hand and waved, and said to the guard, "You go out first." ”

After the guards had been ordered to go out, he continued, "There are some things I can't tell you right now, but I'm really not what you think, you have to trust me!" ”

"If you want me to believe you, that's good..."I deliberately pulled a slight smile, "If you take me into the palace, I will believe you!" ”

"What do you want to do?"

I looked at him a little nervous, and suddenly smiled, "What? Are you scared? Afraid I'll miss you? ”

"Do you have to be like this? You know that I..."

"I don't know, I just know that Alhatu is my enemy, I'm going to kill him, kill him!"

"You—" Yin Linxi stopped talking.

After a moment of silence, he approached me, and said with a complicated expression, "You calm down and listen to me first, I understand what you said, Alhatu has a grudge against you for killing his brother, and his life is to be taken, but now is definitely not the time." ”

"Isn't it time?" My fingers clenched tightly, and then I pushed him aside sharply, laughing at myself, "It's really not the time, after all, if you want to be a good prince, you have to rely on him, don't you?" And what is my hatred? Why do you want Prince Linxi to empathize? I understand what you say! ”

"That's not what I meant! Why do you have to misinterpret me so willfully? Yin Linxi roared, and the pupils of those blurred eyes gradually overflowed with a little gloom.

I froze, then turned around and said lightly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have imposed my mind on you, but now I only have one request... Take me into the palace, and I'm going to take this opportunity anyway. ”

"As I said, his life is to be taken, but now is not the time."

"Don't worry, I will kill him quietly, even if it is the East Window incident, I will take all the blame with all my might, and it has nothing to do with you and the Prince's Mansion."

I finished quietly and turned around.

Yin Linxi's face was full of disbelief, "How can you say such cruel words so calmly?" I clearly said that I am willing to do anything for you, but have you ever wondered, who is Alhatu? He is now an envoy of Wu State, and now he is in the palace, if he dies here in such an unknown way, not only will it be difficult for his father to explain to Wu Guo, but it will also become an excuse for Wu Guobing's Xianyu, what should the people of Xianyu do at that time? Do you want them to go to the funeral for the sake of your hatred? ”

"So what do I do? Just looking at the enemy right under my nose, I can't do anything about it! ”

My body staggered two steps, and an unprecedented sadness began to spread in my heart.

"Didn't I say it, to make you believe me? Alhatu's life, sooner or later, I will hand it over to you with my own hands, before that..."Yin Linxi walked over with a hint of distress in his eyes, and hugged me carefully, "Before that, you wait patiently, one day, it will be..."

Someday...

But where was that day?

It's been a numerable time I've felt overwhelmed.

Like the darkness with no end in sight in a long distance, it is so desperate.

In this troubled world, how can I walk this road alone? I'm tired of feeling like I have to rely on someone else to do everything.

Yin Linxi seemed to see my confusion, and whispered in my ear, "Don't worry, you are not alone in this world, you still have me!" ”

I was stunned, and the tip of my nose finally began to feel pantothenic acid with this sentence.

At this time, someone outside the door suddenly shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Yin Linxi's figure was shocked, then let go of me and answered outside the house, "What's the matter?" ”

"The emperor has set up a reception banquet for the envoys of Wu in the palace, and specially invites you to come over!"

"Got it!" After Yin Linxi replied to this sentence, he looked at me meaningfully.

Finally, he gently dropped a kiss between my eyebrows, and then said, "You're waiting for me here, okay?" Today, I'll be back with you sooner. ”

I didn't speak, I just lowered my eyes and bit my lip.

Seeing this, Yin Linxi sighed slightly, raised his hand and stroked the top of my head, and finally turned around and opened the door and walked out.

He also explained to the guards guarding the door, "You take good care of the crown princess for me, you can't let her leave a step, if something goes wrong again, you should understand the consequences!" ”

"Yes!"

After the guards responded, Yin Linxi's figure stayed in front of the door for a moment before gradually walking away.

What should I do? Listen to Yin Linxi's words, are you waiting here?

Now that the enemy is at hand, do I really have to wait for an indefinite result?

I sat down to the bookcase and stared at the flickering candle flame.

"What? He made you flustered with just a few words? ”

"Who?" I subconsciously clenched my fists and looked around.

Outside the door, however, the sound of a fight was heard.

After those voices had subsided, the door to the study was vigorously pushed open.

A dark blue figure walked in.

"Shen Xiao?"

He looked at me with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to me, and said, "Let's go, I have a way for you to slash the enemy!" ”
