When Qing'er returned to the maid's room, she was already scarred, and she didn't know how she was dragging her broken body to lie on the bed.

She only remembered that there was no place in her body that was not painful, and every inch of her skin was scorchingly painful.

She originally thought that the third prince approached her because of her beauty, but in the end it was to steal the key to save Su Ling.

Why can Su Ling be loved by so many people? Why is she only a lackey in Xing'an Building, Death Building or the Imperial Palace?

She couldn't figure it out.

Obviously, she is not much different from Su Ling, in terms of life experience, talent, and appearance, where can she compare to her?

Qing'er clutched the futon tightly, covered her head, and choked silently in the dark.

The next morning

Xiao Guangji announced in the early dynasty that he would hold a winter hunt in five days, on the surface, he wanted to distract himself, but in fact, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see how the two candidates for the reserve were capable of.

When Xiao Heng heard the news, he was instantly interested. He wanted to invite Jiang Duanchen to play with him, but he was refused. So he thought of Su Ling, the girl who was locked up in the water prison.

Since you don't accompany me, let your beloved girl accompany me.

Xiao Heng looked at Jiang Duanchen's departing back and thought in his heart. He raised his eyebrows and set off for the Fengming Palace.

Nie Yunhua was obviously displeased when he saw the arrival of this uninvited guest.

Xiao Heng already knew what kind of person she was, so she didn't pretend to be a gentle and virtuous queen.

Nie Yunhua frowned lightly, "What is Heng'er doing again?" ”

Xiao Heng sat under the palace and tasted the flower tea leisurely, and after a lamp of belly, he said quietly, "Niangniang, let that Miss Su come out to breathe." ”

"Nope." Nie Yunhua vetoed it.

"Didn't Niangniang forget her son's advice yesterday?" Xiao Heng reminded.

Nie Yunhua tightened his palms, but he was helpless, "What are you going to take her for?" She said tentatively.

"Accompany your sons to hunt, and my father will hold a winter hunting competition in five days. My son wants her to be my sparring partner. Xiao Heng had a playful smile in his eyebrows.

Xiao Heng didn't have any other ideas, he just felt that the people who made Jiang Duanchen's heart but couldn't see him accompany him, and he felt a sense of accomplishment when he thought about it.

Jiang Duanchen has always been indifferent to him, and he doesn't have to look at him squarely. He wanted to see how Jiang Duanchen felt after knowing about this.

Nie Yunhua rolled his eyes and thought again.

If she agrees, she will be led by Xiao Heng in the future, not to mention that she doesn't know what Xiao Heng's true intentions are, if she simply wants the throne, he has a way, why should she be obsessed with Su Ling.

But if she doesn't agree, he will inevitably destroy her relationship with Jiang Duanchen, and then the net will be broken.

Nie Yunhua played with the jade bracelet on his wrist and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Heng, "If you want Su Ling to accompany you, you can." However, don't let Chen'er know. Eventually, she chose to back down.

"Okay." Xiao Heng smiled, got up and saluted Nie Yunhua, "Then the minister will retire first." However, Erchen still wants to remind, Niangniang, think carefully about what Erchen said last night. ”

After Xiao Heng left, Nie Yunhua took off the jade bracelet and slammed it to the ground.

"Xiao Heng, you wait for me." She pressed her throat, her eyebrows revealing a fierce gaze. The maid who was guarding the side was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground.

When Xiao Heng came to the dungeon, he was in an extremely happy mood. He walked in front of Su Ling with his hands in his hands. Compared with yesterday, Su Ling had more braids on her body, and it must have been because Nie Yunhua came to her again last night.

Su Ling was shallow now and didn't feel Xiao Heng's arrival.

Xiao Heng stretched out his hand and stroked the shocking wound on her thin shoulder.

"Si ......" Su Ling was awakened by Xiao Heng's actions.

"Why are you here?" Su Ling said weakly, she once thought she was dying.

Xiao Heng withdrew his hand, looked at Su Ling's eyes and said, "I'll take you out." A gentle smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

Su Ling raised his head and met his gaze.

"Really?"

"Really."

She thought that it would be Jiang Duanchen who would rescue her, but she didn't expect that it was this third prince who had only seen two sides to save her from fire and water.

Xiao Heng opened the rope that bound her and picked her up from the cold water. This petite man had no weight in his arms, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten enough.

Su Ling's body was extremely cold, as if he couldn't feel a person's body temperature. Xiao Heng couldn't help but shudder. He held Su Ling's hands harder and tightened them into his arms.

Su Ling wanted to refuse him to hold herself like this, but she was too tired. She didn't even have the strength to open her mouth to say another word, she didn't know if she had stayed in the cold water for too long, she suddenly coveted the warmth in Xiao Heng's arms.

With this warmth, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

Waking up again, Su Ling found himself in a dark green room, with a bowl of porridge on the high stool next to him.

"Are you awake?" Xiao Heng sat at the head of Su Ling's bed, looking at her curiously.

Su Ling sat up on her own with strong support, Xiao Heng wanted to help her, but she avoided her.

She slowly lifted the quilt, stood barefoot on the ground, and knelt down facing Xiao Heng, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life." ”

Xiao Heng chuckled, obviously he was sleeping so heavily in his arms just now, how could he turn his face so quickly now. He lowered his eyes and looked at Su Ling, and said with a little teasing: "Isn't it cold on the ground, I didn't let you abuse your body when I rescued you." Arise and drink this bowl of porridge. ”

Su Ling raised his eyes and got up silently.

"Porridge, I won't drink His Highness, can you bother Your Highness to allow me to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Su Ling's heart was full of Jiang Duanchen, and she wanted to go back and jump into his arms immediately.

Who would have expected that as soon as these words came out, Xiao Heng, who was still smiling brightly, immediately lowered his voice, "You go back like this, do you want him to worry about you?" He didn't care about Jiang Duanchen's feelings when he said this, but he felt unhappy when he heard Su Ling so eager to leave.

Su Ling listened to him, but there was some reason. If she went back like this, Jiang Duanchen would inevitably be worried, if he knew that Nie Yunhua had done this, he would probably delay his career.

This is something she doesn't want to see, she doesn't want to bother him.

Seeing that Su Ling lowered his head, Xiao Heng sighed and took the porridge beside him in his hand.

"As for you, just take care of your body with peace of mind here with me first, and when you get better, it's not too late to go back." Xiao Heng scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Su Ling.

Su Ling's haggard face showed a lost expression, and she bowed her head and said nothing. Xiao Heng put the bowl down, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Then you can drink it yourself, I won't bother you." ”

Xiao Heng left with interest, he knew that he couldn't listen to what Su Ling said now, but he was not in a hurry, anyway, the person was brought out from Nie Yunhua, and they had time to get along slowly.

Xiao Heng really wanted to see Su Ling's face smile, and it was because of him.

Su Ling's appearance is so good-looking, if he keeps being like this because other men are depressed, he will feel disgusted if he sees too much.

He still remembered the glint in her eyes when he first met Su Ling, and he wanted to see that light once.

Su Ling looked at the back of Xiao Heng leaving, her eyes fell on the bowl of porridge again, she picked up the bowl, and quietly tasted the warmth that she hadn't touched for a long time. The porridge flowed down her esophagus into her stomach, and her cold body instantly warmed up.

She held the bowl and watched the porridge come out of her mind. She didn't know what the future with Jiang Duanchen was like, she was a little confused, and what was too easy to get would have to pay a price after all.

She originally thought that she had a very happy dream, but after coming to the palace, she knew that this was a bloody reality.
