Yaruo was still angry when Xuechen came and begged her, saying that he was seriously ill and wanted to see her.

Jiang Xue Ning just found it funny, "Looks like they're going to use a self-torture tactic."

Yaruo's eyes flickered, and she tightened her grip on the sword in her hand, inviting her, "Would you like to go to the theater with me?"

"Okay."

She changed into a blue gauze dress, still with a veil covering her face. Yaruo looked heroic in her dress, with bells hanging from her braids.

The two went to Xuechen's residence together. He lived in a quiet place, and as soon as he entered, he smelled the scent of gardenia.

The small bridges and flowing water in the mansion have a sense of summer in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Your Highness, please come this way."

They followed the maid to the lotus pond. Under the moonlight, they could vaguely see a thin man in white. From a distance, he looked ethereal and made people yearn for him.

This Xuechen is really good at coaxing women.

She was afraid that if she followed too closely, it would affect their performance, so she stopped under the willow tree on the shore and said, "You go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Yaruo walked across the wooden bridge, approaching step by step. The man standing in the pavilion heard the footsteps and slowly turned around.

He was wearing snow-white clothes, had black hair, and clear eyebrows. The moment he raised his eyes to look at her, a smile appeared in his glass-like eyes, rippling with ripples.

It is hard not to be moved by this situation.

Yaruo's expression softened a bit. Looking at his pale and thin appearance, she said softly, "Aren't you sick? Why are you standing here in the wind?"

"It's hot and humid in the summer, but it's cool here."

He held a lantern made of fireflies in his hand and handed it to her, "I asked someone to catch this specially. Last summer night, I accompanied you to the mountains to catch fireflies. I'm afraid we can't do that this year..."

“Cough cough cough cough cough cough…”

As he spoke, Yaruo fell into memories. Last summer night, the two of them rode horses to the mountains to catch fireflies without anyone else.

The moonlight is beautiful, the wind is cool, and the mountains are full of fireflies.

Of course, there were other things that happened besides watching fireflies, so that every time she thought of that summer night, it was a beautiful and special memory for her.

She lowered her eyes and said, "If you are sick, take good care of yourself. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"There will be no future..." His smile was bitter and broken, "You are the only reason why I stay here. Since His Highness has already abandoned me, I will leave as soon as possible."

"Are you leaving?" Yaruo had a complicated expression, "He is indeed a cold and indifferent man."

Xue Chen took a step forward and wanted to hug him, but was caught off guard by her sword, which stabbed him in the left shoulder.

He gasped in pain, and asked in confusion and unwillingness, "Why?"

"Does Your Highness hate me so much?"

"I hate betrayal the most. Leaving without permission is also a betrayal," she said coldly.

After all, I didn't tell anyone about Jasmine and Doria. Now is not the time to fall out.

She acted very resentful because of the love injury, and the look in her eyes that was three parts cold and two parts reluctant, everything was said without words.

Xue Chen immediately felt that he was fine again, and he straightened up instantly and continued to act, "I know you blame me, and we are destined not to be together. Let me accompany you through this summer, and we can part without any regrets."

She was conflicted on her face, but she was sneering in her heart. The goal was clear, it was obvious that she was going there for hunting.

After all, Chaoyun Kingdom holds hunting events every year in late summer and early autumn, and all the princes and princesses have to attend.

She deliberately drew out the sword slowly, enjoying his expression twisted in pain, "Humph, if your body can bear it then come on, but if you die in the paddock, then you deserve it!"

Xue Chen was waiting for these words, and immediately said affectionately, "As long as I still have breath left, I will crawl there even if I have to."

"Then I'll wait for you to crawl over here." She raised her eyebrows deliberately and said, "Then I'll deal with you properly."

Xue Chen thought he understood her temper, and that saying this was a sign that her anger had subsided a lot and she was beginning to forgive him.

"Take the firefly lantern back with you. When we get to the hunting ground, if the fireflies are still there, we can go and watch together."

"Humph, it depends on my mood."

She took the firefly lantern from his hand and turned to leave. He covered his bleeding wound, and with a plop, he could no longer hold on and fell to one knee on the ground.

Hearing the noise, Yaruo looked back at him with a hint of worry in her eyes. He raised his head and gave her a nice smile, "Be careful on your way back, don't worry about me."

"Who worries about you..." Yaruo left angrily.

Jiang Xue Ning watched the drama from afar, and it had to be said that he was good at creating an atmosphere.

Summer night, moonlight over the lotus pond, the cold and broken him, the beautiful fireflies...

Everything is just right, and it is easy for people to fall into insanity in this atmosphere.

Yaruo came over, and the two of them didn't say anything. They looked at each other and walked out together.

After walking for a long distance, until they were far away from the house, Yaruo used her sword to pierce the lantern and let the fireflies inside out.

"These fireflies were originally free in the summer night, but they were caught by him to perform a show. It's really unlucky."

Jiang Xue Ning looked at the flying firefly and teased, "Don't you feel moved at all?"

She sneered, "If he had done this before Jasmine's incident, I might have softened my heart. As a man, it's okay to kill for fun.

Now I just feel disgusted, I hate dirty men."

"He must have thought he had impressed you and felt very powerful."

Yaruo said indifferently, "Then let him be self-righteous. He will pay the price for his ambition and arrogance."

The two men rode their horses and galloped wildly in the summer night, the night wind blowing through their hair, and there was a breath of freedom.

In the pavilion, Xuechen's expression changed immediately when the person left. The maid helped him up and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

"It's really hard to appease him. He stabbed so deep."

The left envoy of the Snow Tribe came out from the dark and said, "She is the princess after all, so it is normal for her to have a bad temper."

"I've tolerated her for a long time. This is the last time."

The maid who was proficient in medicine brought the medicine box, cut the clothes on his left shoulder, and applied medicine to stop the bleeding.

"The wound is very deep. It's best not to use force or pull on it during this period."

He gritted his teeth and said while enduring the pain, "Vicious woman, when she loses, I will torture her."

In the past two years, he had endured it and coaxed her in front of her many times. Even when the emotions were the most passionate, she was still as domineering as ever.

The left envoy said, "The Saint has been defeated, and the people have not been released yet. The hope of the Snow Clan rests on you. As long as you succeed this time, your two years of dormancy will be worth it."

"This world is ours after all. Women should not try to get involved. It will not end well."

Perhaps it was because he was always outshined by the Saint in the Snow Clan. So in his heart, what he hated most were women who were ambitious and wanted power.

He said with determination, "Go inform the Second Prince and proceed according to the plan."

The wind is blowing, and the sky is about to change.
