"Princess Yan, it's not good, the team that left the country to welcome relatives arrived at Turtle Whisker in advance, and now they have entered the national capital!" Helan Yan'er's personal palace maid Ah Ruan ran to her in a panic, so anxious that she almost cried.

"What? Didn't you say that it would arrive the day after tomorrow, how could it be two days early?"

Helan Yan'er put down the outfit she was packing and preparing to escape, looking shocked.

"Princess Yan, it's too late, don't arrange a retreat for the slave and maid, take advantage of the emperor's busy meeting with the greeting envoy, you should run away quickly!"

"But ......"

"There's nothing more to do, Princess Yan, what else do you want to bring besides this bag of luggage?"

Ah Ruan said eagerly while packing Helan Yan'er's luggage. Then, she felt a warmth behind her, as if something warm was clinging to her back. Helan Yan'er hugged her tightly from behind, crying silently.

"Ah Ruan, I can't bear you!"

After bidding farewell to Ah Ruan with tears in her eyes, Helan Yan'er fled outside the palace as planned.

Escaping from the palace was planned by Helan Yan'er a month ago, and everything was going according to the plan in an orderly manner, and by the time the sun set and the sun set, she had already strolled alone through the streets of the capital, feeling the sunshine like gold and tasting the lives of ordinary people.

Out of the palace wall, she is no longer a princess with turtle whiskers, just an ordinary woman named Yan'er, she no longer has relatives and friends, it seems that she has started a new life.

But fortunately, what she has is money, even if she eats and drinks nonsense and lives a luxurious life, it is more than enough. As long as you have money, you are not afraid of anything.

Dragging her tired body, Helan Yan'er walked out of the capital all the way and chose a country inn that looked a little desolate to live. Her idea was that her status was special, and that in such a rural place, it was an inconspicuous place, and the people sent by her father to find her would never find her.

Lying on the futon that seemed to have some rotten smell for the first time, Helan Yan'er did not feel aggrieved, not angry, but felt an unprecedented excitement. For the first time, she was completely separated from the status of a princess, the first time she left home alone, and the first time she lived in this extremely simple country inn. Too many firsts made her so excited that she almost couldn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, she felt that the inn was quieter, but there were several more guests, and looking at the dressed, it looked like a merchant traveling from south to north.

A girl under the age of sixteen always imagined too much about what she was facing, and never thought that there would be many people in this world who had broken their consciences and many people who were plotting against her.

Just as she was tasting the eight-treasure porridge from the country shop with relish, there were suddenly a lot of merchants around her. The merchant had a fierce look in his eyes, a wicked smile on his face, and he was so bold that he would do something to her in broad daylight to make money and kill her.

"We gave you one night, and you didn't even realize that this store was a black shop, so it's no wonder that our subordinates are ruthless!"

"You...... What are you going to do?"

Even if she was extremely innocent, Helan Yan'er could feel the plot of the imposter merchant, desperately protecting her duffel bag full of silver money, and asked timidly with wide eyes.

"yes, what are you going to do?"

At this time, Helan Yan'er noticed that in the corner of the west side of the inn was sitting a young man dressed in purple with an outstanding temperament. The boy turned his back to them, but the words he spoke exuded a unique shocking power.

"Where did the hairy boy come from, dare to spread wild in Lao Tzu's territory!"

A middle-aged man with a big shoulder, a round waist, a long beard, and a murderous face slapped the table and roared. As soon as the words fell, he was already in a cold sweat of horror.

No one could tell when the man in purple who was far away from him had crossed over to him, and when people reacted, he was already standing next to the beard, and the long sword in his hand was pressed against the beard's throat.

"Hero, Rao ...... Spare your life, we're just here to eat, you can do well, let it go...... Leave us alone!"

"You have done too many things to kill people and goods, and today as long as you have the courage to cut off one of your fingers with your own hands, I can spare you and their lives. ”

The bearded man's expression changed from horror to despair, and he stretched out his trembling hand to take the dagger handed to him by the man in purple. There was a desperate wail, and a blood-stained finger tumbled from the wooden table to the ground.

Helan Yan'er closed her eyes, covered her package, and kept shouting, and tears kept pouring out of the corners of her eyes.

"Alright, it's over, you're safe. The purple-clothed man's words were warm and affectionate, and he was almost like two people before, and a warm hand gently stroked Helan Yan'er's cheek and gently wiped away the tears hanging on her face.

"Who are you and why did you save me?"

Helan Yan'er was still crying, and her words were full of obvious grievances, God knows how terrible the experience just now was for her.

"My name is Qin Mingyue, and it is my responsibility to save you. The man smiled, like a cool breeze on the top of the mountain, which was refreshing.

"Princess, let's go back. Your father is worried about you!"

It turned out that he was really not an ordinary person, he was the envoy who was responsible for sending her to a desperate place, the young general Qin Mingyue.

Her heart was unwilling, but in front of him, resistance and disobedience seemed to have disappeared from her world, as long as he wanted her to do it, she seemed to do it without hesitation. Because she firmly believes that this man, who has only met once, will definitely protect her no matter what situation she is in.

In the palace, most of her father's hair turned white overnight, his cheeks were thin and sunken, and he was almost out of shape. But he was smiling, so bitter that he could almost draw out Helan Yan'er's tears.

There was a long queue of farewell dishes, many of which Helan Yan'er had never eaten, and just by looking at it, she knew that it was a unique delicacy in the world.

However, she just quietly watched the hot food cool and lose its original color, and did not eat a single bite.

That night, her father burst into tears, although he did not say it, but it also made her deeply understand his helplessness. For the stability of the turtle whiskers and the well-being of the people, he had no choice but to sacrifice his favorite pearl in his palm.

On the second day, she changed into the exquisite dress sent from abroad, walked out of the Turtle Whisker Palace step by step, and sat in a luxurious carriage. She lifted the curtain and looked towards the castle tower, where an old man in plain clothes stood in the center, as if crying. Her father, I don't know if I can see her again in this life.

Tears smeared the heavy makeup she had just painted, but she didn't care, thinking about her father and her relatives and friends.

"Don't cry, look at it, you're crying with makeup!"

Out of nowhere, a childish child's voice suddenly came, which shocked Helan Yan'er enough to choke out, and she almost screamed. I saw a little boy of six or seven years old crawling out from under her seat, probably hiding under the seat for a long time, the boy's hair was a little messy, but it did not change his handsome and lovely appearance in the slightest.

"You, who are you?"

"Hehe, my name is Mu Xize, and I am the third prince who left the country. I sneaked out, and no one knew about my existence except General Qin. ”

It turned out that the third prince was young and lost his mother, he was bullied everywhere in the palace, and secretly mixed into the welcoming team to escape from the palace, but was discovered by Qin Mingyue, not only did he not escape, but he was always under Qin Mingyue's surveillance and control.

With Xiao Xize, who doesn't know the taste of sorrow, Helan Yan'er's scarred heart accelerates healing, and hope is gradually ignited in life. In the past few days, she loves to pull the curtain and secretly look at Qin Mingyue riding a white horse in front of her.

If only she hadn't married the old man who had left the country, would she still have a chance, a chance to be with him.

"Sister, it's not hot this weather, why are you blushing?"

Mu Xize's question pulled Helan Yan'er back to reality, her face seemed to be on fire, hot, and her heart was pounding, almost jumping out uncontrollably.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, and the sound of fighting from all directions surrounded them. In an instant, there were already several more blood marks spurting out of Helan Yan'er's carriage.

"Princess, there are assassins, get out of the carriage and follow me!"

That was the first time, Qin Mingyue took the initiative to hold her hand, the slightly cool, wide palm, just a light touch made her unforgettable for life.

The endless assassins stuck behind them like a plaster of dog skin. Qin Mingyue held Helan Yan'er in one hand and Mu Xize in the other, desperately running towards the front road, trying to get rid of these assassins.

After a day and a night, there were no more assassins behind them, but there was also a dead end in front of them. The endless desert presented to them, and the golden yellow sand was desolate like never before.

"Yan'er, don't be afraid, I will definitely take you out of the desert. ”

This is the first time Qin Mingyue has called her Yan'er, and the first time she has regarded her as an ordinary person, even a woman. Obviously, she was terrified in her heart, but Helan Yan'er was so happy that she couldn't help laughing uncontrollably, looking at Qin Mingyue's eyes revealing love even more.

The clothes on his body were stained by the wind and sand, the skin on his face was burned by the scorching sun, his mouth was so thirsty that he couldn't speak, and his lips were chapped and oozing blood.

However, Helan Yan'er was not afraid at all, because she had him, he was by her side day and night, protecting her, caring for her, and even making her feel that it was a great blessing in her life to be able to bury her bones in the desert with him.

She didn't know how she got out of the desert, and when she woke up, she was snuggling in Qin Mingyue's arms, and in front of her was a clear lake, and the grass by the lake was more than half a person tall. The afterglow of the setting sun pours over the lake, like stars twinkling in the lake.

"Yan'er, we are finally saved. ”

This was the first time Qin Mingyue had hugged her into her arms, and her broad shoulders were warm and solid, making her unbearable to leave. The sonorous heartbeat echoed in her ears, and it was his heart that seemed to carry some emotion.

For the first time in many days, Helan Yan'er had the opportunity to take a bath, and although the lake was a little cold, she still dragged her tired body into the lake, letting the sparkling water wash her dirty body.

When night fell, the dim moonlight did not hide her hibiscus-like beauty at all, like a fairy in the ninefold sky, eclipsing the stars in the sky.

"General Qin. ”

The unique softness and warmth of her daughter's family made Qin Mingyue blushed unconsciously.

"I like you, do you like me too? ”

The woman of the turtle beard dares to love and hate, and Helan Yan'er is no exception, although she has become the concubine of the emperor who left the country, she still shows her love very bluntly.

Qin Mingyue looked at her, with a tenderness that she had never felt before, and a sincerity that she had never had. Suddenly, two soft lips pressed against hers, leaving her standing there like an electric shock. It turns out that this is the feeling of being kissed, soft and glutinous, but it can be so excited that it almost beats out of my heart.

One night of lingering, a moment of greed, she dedicated her first time to him without regrets at her best age.
