Since he saw the second prince Zhong Lijue again, He Xiaoxiao had an inexplicable fear of him.

The more afraid she is, every time she enters the palace with the eldest princess of Chengguo, there are always seven or eight times out of ten times that she will see Zhong Lijue.

Speaking of which, Zhong Lijue was born good-looking, and his attitude towards her was gentle and kind, but every time he met his eyes, his eyes would suddenly become terrifying, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

"The eldest prince and the second prince are the same age, and now they are both at the age when they should marry a wife." Shen Anrou's family education is very strict, and she likes to inquire about these gossip anecdotes. "The second prince is from Concubine Duan, Liao Qing is not only the niece of Concubine Duan, but also the only daughter of the Duke of Fangguo, Concubine Duanniang naturally wants to match Liao Qing and the second prince. Moreover, I heard from my mother that the Ministry of Rites has begun to compile the selection of concubines for the two princes, and the list of concubines should be produced in a few days. ”

"Is my sister on the list too?" He Xiaoxiao put his hands on his cheeks and looked at Shen Anrou.

"Your sister's name is naturally on the top, except for people like me who have already made a marriage, the daughters of the family under the age of fifteen and eighteen are basically on that list." Being stared at by He Xiaoxiao's big round eyes, Shen Anrou couldn't help but touch her smooth little face and laughed. "That is, Xiaoxiao, you are a little younger, otherwise, with your background and appearance, isn't the position of a prince and concubine still handy?"

"You are so open-mouthed that you dare to say anything." He Yun looked around and saw that no one heard Shen Anrou's words, so he reached out and knocked her. "If you don't talk nonsense, I will sue your eldest sister."

"Hey, don't tell my eldest sister." The person Shen Anrou was most afraid of was her eldest sister who had an old-fashioned temperament like her father, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

In the afternoon, He Wan took He Xiaoxiao to say goodbye to the master's house.

"Did you have any fun today?" Duchess Fang asked the two sisters kindly. "I don't know if my Qing'er has neglected your sisters?"

"My sister and I are very happy today, and I thank the Duchess for her hospitality." He Yun smiled. "Miss Liao is very well entertained."

"In a few days, my mother will have a banquet in the princess's mansion, and at that time, I will also invite the Duchess and Miss Liao to enjoy the light." He Xiaoxiao echoed and said.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will definitely attend the banquet, we will definitely be there." Duchess Fang Guo replied with a smile.

When she walked outside, He Xiaoxiao coldly saw Zhong Lijue surrounded by people in the pavilion not far away, and she was so frightened that she immediately buried her head.

"Sister, go quickly!" He Xiaoxiao grabbed He Yun's sleeve and urged her to speed up her steps and leave.

He Wan didn't know why, so he had to let He Xiaoxiao pull him and walk out quickly.

Walking out of the other village of Fang Guogong's house, the carriage of Chengenhou Mansion had stopped at the door and waited.

The maid who came with her helped He Yun to get into the carriage first, and He Xiaoxiao was just about to get into the carriage when a familiar young lady saw her and stopped her.

She was talking to someone when suddenly there was a burst of exclamations from the polo field outside the village.

Not only did He Xiaoxiao follow the voice curiously, but even He Yun, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at the place where the sound came from.

Immediately afterwards, a crazy horse came in the direction of the gate of Bezhuang, and the carriage of the Chengenhou Mansion stopped right in the middle of the gate.

"Sister! Get out of the car! Seeing Crazy Horse rushing from her carriage, she screamed and wanted to step forward.

Tan Yin, who came with her, hurriedly grabbed her. "Second Miss!"

Fortunately, He Yun has practiced some fist and foot kung fu since he was a child, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he pushed his maid down as soon as possible, and he also jumped out of the carriage at the last moment.

But because of today's banquet, He Yun was wearing a newly made Hundred Flowers Skirt and it was inconvenient to move, and after she jumped out of the carriage, she couldn't stop staggering a few steps, He Xiaoxiao saw this and broke free of Tan Yin's hand, and pounced over to support He Yun.

Crazy Horse foamed at the mouth and crashed directly into the carriage of the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, the wheel in front of him was cracked, and the broken wood came straight towards He Wan and He Xiaoxiao.

He Yun staggered and nimbly avoided a piece, but He Xiaoxiao, who was not in a hurry to dodge, was hit on the forehead by another piece of wood that was as long as her arm, and the ensuing impact knocked her away, until her body hit the pillar outside the gate before she stopped and fell to the ground.

"Xiaoxiao!"

"Second Miss!"

He Xiaoxiao fell to the ground, and the blood flowing from the wound on her forehead covered half of her face.

Seeing that Crazy Horse was only blocked by the carriage for a while, he turned his head and rushed towards the gate again.

A man suddenly burst out of the door, picked up a piece of wood from the ground and inserted it into Crazy Horse's neck. Blood splattered all over the floor, and Crazy Horse fell.

"Second Prince." He Yun, who had chosen to pounce on He Xiaoxiao to protect her because of the Crazy Horse rushing over again, saw the person who made the move, choked up and thanked him. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your rescue."

"Miss, let's get up first." Zhong Lijue said to He Yun warmly. "Your carriage has been destroyed, it is better to move the second lady into Beizhuang for treatment first."

"Yes, yes... Your Highness is right. He Wan was frightened, so he could only be helped up by his own maid. Tanyin, quickly call someone to help Xiaoxiao get up. ”

Before Tan Yin could lead people close to He Xiaoxiao, Zhong Lijue had already leaned over and hugged He Xiaoxiao, who had fainted, in his arms.

The pain of the impact pierced through her skull like a sharp knife.

The face that had been blurry in her mind for five years was finally clear, and all the intermittent memories were connected together.

At that time, the queen's marriage decree made her almost cry at home and blinded, she grew up with Zhong Lijue's childhood sweetheart, where is she willing to be pointed out by the queen at will to a Li Xu who is nothing as good as him.

But the eldest princess of Chengguo has already lost power and offended the queen, for the sake of the future of her mother and brother, He Xiaoxiao finally had to accept her fate to be married at home.

But when the wedding date was approaching, Zhong Lijue, who was imprisoned in the prince's mansion, didn't know what method he used to hand over a letter to meet him, but He Xiaoxiao happily went to the appointment but was killed by him.

"Xiaoxiao!"

"Second Miss!"

In the void, there seemed to be a voice calling for himself in the distance, He Xiaoxiao struggled to open his eyes, but what came into his eyes was Zhong Lijue's handsome face.

It's just such a good-looking side face that scared He Xiaoxiao to wake up immediately.

With a 'snap', He Xiaoxiao couldn't care that he was still being held in Zhong Lijue's arms, and he was already slapped in the face.

The movement outside the gate quickly alarmed the master's house, and Duchess Fang Guo hurriedly came over with her daughter Liao Qing, catching up with Zhong Lijue holding the unconscious He Xiaoxiao, and Duchess Fang Guo hurriedly turned her head and led the group to the guest room prepared today.

Only Liao Qing glanced at He Xiaoxiao, who was held in Zhong Lijue's arms, and looked away in a little panic.

Who would have thought that before Zhong Lijue put He Xiaoxiao on the bed, He Xiaoxiao, who suddenly woke up, raised his hand and gave him a slap.

"Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness." Seeing this, He Wan knelt down with Tanyin and Suyin who came with him. "My sister was just overly frightened, and she didn't mean to bump into Your Highness."

Zhong Lijue didn't speak, only gently put He Xiaoxiao on the bed.

He Xiaoxiao was like a frightened little animal, shrunk and hid in the bed.

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Lijue's eyes were obscure when he looked at He Xiaoxiao, and when he turned around, he already had a warm smile. "Xiaoxiao has a wound on her forehead, so let's have someone come over and deal with it for her first."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness." After hearing this, He Yun immediately got up and stretched out his hand towards He Xiaoxiao.

He Xiaoxiao looked at He Yun in a daze for a while, raised his hand and hugged He Yun's waist, and cried loudly.
