Unconsciously, she has escaped from the palace for many days, Xia Jingyan's uneasiness has gradually disappeared, she lowered her head to look at Zhou Ranmiao lying in her arms, she really feels like a world away, as if he was still the emperor yesterday, and today he is just her husband.

They had arrived at the Xie River, and were sitting on a flat boat at the moment.

It was getting late, and the bow was lit with a light, not very bright, but it was enough to shine a bright light. The calm water surface was rowed by the bow of the boat, and there was only the sound of knowing and the murmuring of the water, and nothing else, it was really quiet, and the heart was quiet.

Zhou Ranmiao was already asleep, maybe he was really tired, and he said that he would watch the moon together in the evening, but he fell asleep, but Xia Jingyan couldn't bear to wake him up, anyway, there will be more days in the future, and I will talk about it later.

Xia Jingyan looked at Zhou Ranmiao and smiled a little stupidly, it turned out that being an ordinary couple can be so happy.

But Zhou Ranmiao suddenly woke up, alas, the scenery.

"Yan'er, how long have I been asleep?"

"It's not been a moment, why did you wake up so early?" Xia Jingyan still smiled slightly, and gently touched Zhou Ranmiao's face.

"Hmm...... I thought it had been a long time, and it felt like it had been a long time since I looked up to see you. ”

"Fool ......" Xia Jingyan smiled, his fingers stroking Zhou Ranmiao's lips.

"Yan'er."

"Huh?"

Zhou Ranmiao suddenly sat upright, holding Xia Jingyan's shoulders with both hands, and his expression became inexplicably serious.

"In the past, I was not good, even if I was helpless, I shouldn't put you in danger, hurt you like that, I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a husband, now, I am willing to leave everything behind, I will take you away, the ends of the earth, you can go anywhere, and you will never be separated in this life, but I know that I have done too wrong...... Yan'er, can I make up for it? Would you like to ...... me To start over? ”

Xia Jingyan smiled and shed tears, but these tears were no longer sad, she wiped away the tears from the corners of Zhou Ranmao's eyes.

"I've fled here with you, so I'm naturally willing, Dye, during this time, it's true that I blame you, and it's true that I hate you, but ...... I'm also wrong, I can't understand how you have suffered, but if I have to stand in your shoes and think, if someone kills my whole family, I don't care who his descendants are, whether it's wrong or not, they will kill him to solve the hatred in my heart, and if it's for my brother, I'm afraid I'll put you in danger, because my lover can compensate for it, but my relatives are blood thicker than water, and being hurt is a lifetime's fault, and I've thought it out of the palace for so long, I may blame you for hurting me, but I love you more, the death of my little brother and my brother, In the final analysis, there is a debtor and a master, Shu Yuanyue is dead, I shouldn't blame you anymore, now that you are willing to give up the country and take me away, I am naturally willing to give up everything to go with you, we start again, Chengya is our new life. ”

Zhou Ranmiao hugged Xia Jingyan tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Yan'er, thank you, you gave me a home and let me live." Zhou Ran choked up.

Xia Jingyan patted his back gently, "Don't cry, don't cry......"

"I promise, we won't drift like this again, I have asked people to go first, and bought a three-entry courtyard in Chengya, to the left is the market, to the right is Qinghe, no matter what, we will spend the rest of our lives there safely, for a long time, Chu Feng will first recuperate in the palace, and when he is well, we will take him out, and our family of three will always be in the family, live a happy life, away from the hustle and bustle of the court, and a plain life is enough......"

"Okay, our family of three will always be together and will never be separated......"

The water lantern swayed outside the boat, shining into the night sky, and the stars of the whole night returned to the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a pool of star dew fell into the Milky Way.

After being out of the palace for a month, it seems that thousands of years have passed, or perhaps, it is just that he is less than a thousand years old, but love has really passed tens of millions of years.

It was very tiring to run around for a long time, and it didn't take long for Zhou Ranmao and Xia Jingyan to be sleepy, so they slept peacefully in the boat, but they both woke up in less than a few moments......

When she woke up, she didn't get together, when Xia Jingyan woke up, Zhou Ranmiao was gone, she poked her head out of the curtain, looked at the lake, and there was still a layer of fog, where did Zhou Ranmiao go?

However, Xia Jingyan is no longer worried, the new life is just around the corner, why is he afraid of parting for a while? She leaned on the bamboo boat and thought about the future.

And Zhou Ranmiao didn't go far, stepped on a bamboo pole to cross to the shore, and stood there quietly, not saying anything, doing nothing, just waiting quietly.

He didn't need to look for it, he stood for a long time, and the person in the secret knew it and came out to find him.

Soon, a vague figure walked in the dark, Zhou Ranmiao chuckled, and he really guessed it.

"Why are you alone, Xia Jingsheng?" Zhou Ranmiao asked the purple-clothed figure.

Xia Jingxuan's expression was a little lonely, but seeing the current situation, he was a lot relieved.

"He's busy......"

Xia Jingxuan replied in a low voice, standing still two feet away from Zhou Ranmiao, as if he didn't know how to face Zhou Ranmiao, and Zhou Ranmiao had to step forward by himself.

"So you're the only one to catch the two of us eloping?" Zhou Ranmao is full of provocativeness.

"I'm not here to arrest you......" Xia Jingxuan's eyes rarely flashed with crystal, "I just want to come and see Yan'er, Jingchen has already left, I don't want anything to happen to Yan'er, I originally wanted to go to Xunzhou, thinking that I heard that something happened to you, maybe I could help a little, but halfway through, the envoy on the return trip replied that you have left the palace, and now that Gu Yun of Southern Zhou is the emperor, I changed the direction and looked for you all the way, and it didn't take long to find it, and I was discovered by you." ”

"And how long have you been following?" Zhou Ranmiao changed the topic.

"Huh?" Xia Jingxuan didn't react for a while, "Oh, it's been five or six days." ”

"Five or six days! Then you know that the two of us have no money halfway, so don't you come to help! Zhou Ranmiao suddenly reached out and patted Xia Jingxuan's shoulder, "Your brother-in-law has been reduced to performing arts, and you don't squeak!" You're so ruthless! Zhou Ranmiao didn't want to participate in Xia Jingxuan's "sad invitation" from beginning to end.

Xia Jingxuan was stunned at first, but then smiled helplessly.

"Brother-in-law, a word is worth a hundred gold, why do you need my brother to help? It's enough to make a fortune from this. ”

"Strength is strength, heart is heart! I lost a piece of fine purple jade jade pendant for my car money! You pay me back! Zhou Ranmiao was dissatisfied, and saw that Xia Jingxuan's clothes were tied with a piece of blue jade, and he quickly grabbed it in his hand, "It's compensation!" ”

"Okay, okay, if you don't become an emperor, you've become so stingy...... Here you go! Xia Jingxuan also gradually broke away from the old hatred.

"So you're not here to arrest the two of us for eloping?" Zhou Ranhao calmed down and asked.

"Why arrest you, the officialdom is noisy, the emperor's authority is unpredictable, you take her away, and she will suffer frustration again, this is something that our brothers who raised her from childhood to adulthood can't do, you are willing to do it, thank you It's too late, I'm just afraid that something will happen to you halfway, so I escort all the way, and I won't bother the rest." Xia Jingxuan smiled slightly.

Zhou Ranmiao breathed a sigh of relief, but laughed at Xia Jingxuan's sentence "The emperor's power is unpredictable", "Why do you still say that the emperor's power is unpredictable?" What's the matter, Xia Jingsheng finally sanctioned you? Regent? Are you still afraid that Ah Yun and I will do something to you? ”

It was a joke, but Zhou Ranmiao saw that Xia Jingxuan's expression really sank, and suddenly a kind of uneasiness came to his heart.

"He's not going to really punish you, is he?" Zhou Ranmiao's eyes widened.

Anyway, he definitely hasn't touched Xia Jingxuan, with Lu Chaoya as the middleman, Gu Yun won't do anything to him, then only Xia Jingsheng.

But Xia Jingxuan's expression softened a little.

"What are you thinking, I have never had a dispute with the imperial brother, I just feel that after he became the emperor, he was really ruthless in many things, but the brotherhood has never changed, so there is no need to worry about me."

"That's good, otherwise, if Yan'er knows this, I'll have to go back to Mingxia to make a fuss." Zhou Ranmiao sighed.

"Don't let Yan'er go back, the two of you finally left the royal family, Yan'er's mood is better, but when I go back, it reminds her of the past and makes her sad, which is my sin." Xia Jingxuan's smile was unusually bitter.

"Then are you going to talk to Yan'er?" Zhou Ranmao turned his back to look at the boat with lights swaying in the lake.

Xia Jingxuan also glanced at it, but he was disappointed, "Forget it." ”

"Yan'er misses you very much."

"You found out that I was here, how could Yan'er not notice it? It's just that knowing each other and looking at each other from afar is enough, but when we meet again, I don't know what to say, and besides, I should go. ”

Zhou Ranmiao's doubts came up again, "Where are you going?" ”

"I heard from the imperial brother that there may be an accident on the Beijiang side, so I have to go to Jiangling, that is the junction of the Dongjiang River and the Beijiang River, if you want to start a war, you must start with Jiangling, it should have been there a long time ago, I really don't have to worry about it, so I first transferred most of the people to Jiangling first, and I ran here to find you, it was already delayed, since you are almost here, then tomorrow, I should also set off to Jiangling." Xia Jingxuan said calmly, but the more he said, the more strange Zhou Ranmiao's expression became, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you know what's going on in Beijiang? Why is there a sudden war again, and now there is a conflict? Zhou Ranmiao asked a series of questions coldly.

Although Xia Jingxuan was puzzled, he still replied one by one according to his knowledge: "I don't know why, it was the imperial brother who suddenly called me to his side and whispered, but he didn't tell me what happened. ”

"How long has it been since you received this secret order?" Zhou Ranmao asked again.

Xia Jingxuan thought for a moment and replied, "It's been nearly a month." ”

Zhou Ranmiao lowered his head again, he didn't know what he was thinking, he was silent for a while, and when Xia Jingxuan just wanted to ask him, he raised his head sharply again.

"Who is your lieutenant this time? Can Su Zhi and Yang Zhi be on their side? ”

"Li Zhi and Yang Zhi are not here, but they are accompanied by Lin Tu, Gao Yan and Fu Yun." Xia Jingxuan is still puzzled, what is Zhou Ranmiao selling? "What the hell is going on?"

"Beijiang can make trouble, and now only King Xiaohe is the only one, right?" Zhou Ranmiao did not answer Xia Jingxuan's question first, but asked rhetorically.

"yes." Xia Jingxuan replied.

Why ask knowingly? For example, who doesn't know about Sijiang today, King Xiaohe is in charge of everything in Beijiang, and Emperor Qi has become a decoration, if Beijiang wants to start a war with Dongjiang, it must also be planned by King Xiaohe, Xia Jingxuan was confused.

Zhou Ranmiao sighed again, "King Xiaohe is now in Xunzhou, how can Beijiang go to war?" Xia Jingsheng is confused, right? ”

"What?!" Xia Jingxuan was taken aback.

"You and I are in-laws, if he dares to plot to attack Mingxia in Xunzhou, and Ah Yun has already tied him up, then besides him, who else can say anything in Beijiang?"

"How do you know that King Xiaohe is in Xunzhou? We don't have any news that King Xiaohe sent to Beijiang? Xia Jingxuan's brows also furrowed.

"He comes every year at this time, and he just delivered the letter before I left...... Even if you don't come and stay in Beijiang to fight, that's not right. ”

"What's wrong?"

"When did you need to start a war like this? You are now the regent of the Dongjiang River, how can you leave Beijing easily? There were occasional conflicts with Beijiang in the past Ming Xia, but even Xia Jingchen no longer left Beijing to fight, how could he ask you to go? Besides, it's been a month, how can it be calm? Even if these are trivial things, they are all mistakes, you have been studying political science since you were a child, and sitting in Beijing is your strength, how can you be the commander of the army, and there is no battle-hardened deputy general around you? If you really want to go to war between the two rivers, will Xia Jingsheng send you those few wastes to your death?! ”

Xia Jingxuan reacted slightly, and was momentarily surprised, but soon calmed down again.

"Jing Chen just left, Su Zhi is his cronies, they grew up together since childhood, and they have a deep friendship, but now I am afraid that he is uneasy, and he is still in mourning, and it is not uncommon to stay in Beijing to guard his sorrows, Yang punishes ...... Maybe it will be of other use, right? Brother Huang will not put me to death for no reason, I don't get in the way of him, he brought me 100,000 soldiers and horses, although the deputy general is worse, but the soldiers and horses are all first-class, besides, I am also a person who has fought in battles, am I so bad? ”

Xia Jingxuan's last sentence still had some "unconvinced" meaning, but Zhou Ranmiao didn't have the time to listen to him.

"I naturally believe that he can't kill you, but I'm afraid that he is going to break you off......" Zhou Ranmiao's expression sank.

But why? What does he have to avoid me, he wouldn't have it before......" Although Xia Jingxuan didn't want to doubt Xia Jingsheng, Zhou Ranhao's words, all kinds of evidence, made him have to think more.

"Su Zhi is a brother with Xia Jingchen, but you are Xia Jingchen's brother, Xia Jingchen died, is it possible that your grief is not as good as Su Zhi? Can your mind be at peace? And you are also in mourning, even if you are always more quiet than others on weekdays, how can you go to war without distractions now? Even if Yang Punishment is still useful now, Xia Jingsheng doesn't have to pay only to your rich sons and brothers, right? But how could he take your life as a child's play......" Zhou Ranmiao paused, "I'm afraid that Xia Jingsheng expected something to happen to Ying, or what he wanted to do, but he couldn't let you know, so he thought of supporting you." ”

"So what do I do? Gangneung, should I go or not? But if I don't go, the royal brother will definitely know that he still has other tricks to guard against me. ”

Xia Jingxuan didn't complain, he always believed that Xia Jingsheng would be good for him, but he was also worried that this "resistance" was just afraid that Xia Jingsheng would resist something bad alone.

Zhou Ranmiao pondered for a while, and then asked again: "Do you have a map with the vicinity of Jiangling with you?" ”

"Yes, at the farm about a mile from the back bank, where all my entourage is."

"Okay, take me to see it."

"Okay, over here."

Thinking of going together, Xia Jingxuan and Zhou Ranmiao did not hesitate to move forward to the cave, but they could no longer guard against guarding in the dark, waiting for someone to approach Xia Jingyan......
