Out of the thatched hut, Su Ran paused and looked around, there were dense forests, and he didn't know which way to go for a while.

"If you want to help, I'd love to." Gu Yitian stood leaning against the door, holding a folded folding fan in his hand, and tapping his palm casually

The gloomy forest, the damp forest wind, Su Ran felt a burst of coldness, and unconsciously scolded this Gu Yitian, what a bastard, he brought himself to this kind of place.

"This is the southern outskirts of the capital." Gu Yitian explained kindly, but the smile on his lips revealed the intention of playing tricks. Even if she gave the direction, in this dense forest, it was late at night, and the moon and stars were obscured by dense foliage, could she still make out the direction? It's just that he's only become familiar with it because he's been here more often.

After listening to Gu Yitian's words, Su Ranhua did not respond, raised his legs and walked forward, stopping under a big tree.

Looking up, I looked at the branches and leaves, which were black and oppressive, tree after tree, close to each other, and I really couldn't see clearly in the night.

This is indeed a dense forest, and even the small thatched hut is covered under the lush branches and leaves, even if there is rain and snow, it is cared for by the branches and leaves of the towering trees, and it will not be easily hit.

Su Ranhua retracted his head, looked around, and found a small tree that had just grown up next to an old tree, with a thick wrist.

Su Ranhua walked over without hesitation, raised her legs, and kicked the little tree very neatly, it was really in vain that she had been recuperating in Wutongju in the past few days, but with the support of the modern soul, this body also brought a little strength, but this foot went down, and the foot hurt very much.

Gu Yitian's eyes flashed, and with a little curiosity, he walked over.

Su Ranhua approached and looked at the broken place of the small tree, although it was dark, there was also starlight that penetrated the branches and leaves, as long as it was close, it was enough for her to see the few sparse annual rings on it clearly, and the direction of the debate.

This is the southern suburbs, and the capital should be in the north.

Su Ran determined the direction, raised his feet and walked towards the depths of the dense forest. Gu Yitian beside him was a ball of air, ignoring it.

"Miss Yu!" Gu Yitian looked at the Su Ran painting hidden in the forest, and didn't have time to wonder why she recognized the direction after looking at the broken pile, she only felt her heart sank, clenched the folding fan, and followed.

"Don't follow me." Su Ranhua stopped, his voice cold.

"Obviously don't let me follow, could it be that the girl likes to be secretly followed?" Gu Yitian asked with a smile.

"Light or darkness can't be." Su Ran painted a word by word, and turned around gently, allowing Gu Yitian to catch a playful smile in the gloomy sight, different from the coldness of his voice, as if he had a fun idea, and proposed, "Give us a chance to test our fate, how about it?" ”

"Oh?" Gu Yitian raised his eyebrows, full of interest.

"Don't follow me, don't go to me until the sun rises. If you can see me again in the next three days, it means that we are destined. Su Ran said.

"You promise to be in the capital?" Gu Yitian asked, if he could find her in the capital, just as he could find her disguised as a man, he would definitely find her footprints soon.

"Yes, yes." Su Ranhua nodded, snickering in her heart, for three days, she nested in Wutong and couldn't go out, so she didn't believe that he could find it to the North Palace.

"Good!" Gu Yitian happily accepted the bet, which was also a game to kill boredom for him.

As far as Su Ranhua is concerned, she just wants to get rid of this guy and go back to the Beiwang Mansion, and she can't take a tail. Seeing that Gu Yitian should be down, he turned around and walked away.

From Gu Yitian's confident expression, she believed that he would comply with the terms of the gambling contract and would not pester herself before the sun rose.

And she must return to the Beiwang Mansion as soon as possible.

At this time, the Beiwang Mansion was not as quiet as before. Since the subordinate who was sent to follow Su Ran's painting returned in vain, Steward Lin sent the news to Ximen Hao.

At first, Ximen Hao was holding the posture of watching the play and didn't care.

After the third lady left the palace, Su Ranhua continued to disappear without a trace, until Liu Er ran back in a panic, saying that she had lost the princess, Ximen Hao had a hint of reaction and ordered someone to investigate the situation in the prime minister's mansion.

As a result, the third lady was reprimanded by Su Luocheng for not seeing Su Ran's painting, and there was still no trace of Su Ran's painting, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.

"What does this family want to play!" Ximen Hao had a cold face and glanced at Liu'er, who had been kneeling outside the study for a long time.

Liu Er has already told all the things that happened when she was with Su Ranhua, she knew that even if she didn't say it, the prince could find out, although Su Ranhua had explained, but she didn't dare to hide it from Ximen Hao.

"Pretending to be Princess Nan, go to Yujinfang to ask for embroidery needles?" Ximen Hao was puzzled, this matter seemed really inexplicable to him.

Ximen Hao also knew the news of Hu Dingshan's sudden death, but he didn't expect Su Ran's painting to be at the scene at that time, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he couldn't find the secret between Su Ran's painting and Jin Needle and Hu Dingshan's death.

Then, Liu Er lost Su Ran's painting.

Where did she go?

When Ximen Hao decided to look for it, there was no news after searching for most of the night.

Intrigue and accident, two completely different thoughts flashed through Ximen Hao's mind. Suddenly, I was annoyed by Su Ran's behavior, and suddenly I felt that there was something in the bottom of my heart that was picked up and couldn't let go.

"Su Luocheng, you are so powerful!" Ximen Hao spit out a sentence coldly without a head.

Steward Lin, who was waiting beside Ximen Hao, was stunned for a moment, and then somewhat understood what he meant. Judging from the news that Ximen Hao waited for Su Ranhua all night, he didn't care about Princess Bei as he seemed on the surface, but there was still a hurdle in his heart, a line of defense.

If Su Ran's painting was really a chess piece specially used by Su Luocheng, then this chess piece had already pierced Ximen Hao's heart like a nail, making him feel the pain of being pierced while wanting to pull it out.

Steward Lin, who has followed Ximen Hao for many years, saw through the entanglement in Ximen Hao's heart for the first time, and sighed unconsciously.

"This king should go and see for himself, where she is hiding!" Ximen Hao threw down a sentence, got up suddenly, strode out of the study, and decided to go to Su Ran Painting in person.

Steward Lin shook his head gently, and the king of the north, who had always been unfazed, couldn't sit still.

Su Ran painting, who walked out of the dense forest, breathed a sigh of relief. Because of walking all the way, the body was hot, all the cold, looked back at the forest behind him, this ancient environment is good, guarding the capital There is such a large forest, as if to the deep mountains and old forests. At this time, Gu Yitian should still be honestly staying in the hut, right? Although he thinks that he will fulfill that bet, he can't take it lightly, and everything has a time when it is unexpected. Therefore, Su Ran painting is still a little vigilant.

After a pause, Su Dye's painting continued to move forward, in the dead of night, the empty suburbs, it was very empty, the road was far away, it would be great if there was a means of transportation to travel!

So Su Ran unconsciously imagined that Ximen Hao's red-maned horse, once when he left the prison of the criminal room, he was taken by Ximen Hao to ride, although the time was short, but it left a deep impression, the red horse like a passionate flame carried a calm and domineering man, it was really a huge contrast.

Su Ranhua was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, and following the sound, under the moonlight like water, someone was riding a horse and running towards this side.
