At this time, inside the cave.
The scorching firelight dispelled the darkness in the cave, illuminating Xie Jin's cold face. He tilted his eyes slightly, and his deep gaze fell on the woman leaning on his right shoulder——
It was the third princess of the Rong Kingdom.
She was soaked, her hair was loose, her long black hair was falling down, and her pretty fair face was covered with mud, making her look quite disheveled.
Perhaps because she was frightened, the third princess of Rong State closed her eyes and was still in a coma.
As early as half a month ago, Xie Jin had received news that the Fan State had already decided to form an alliance with the Li State.
Originally, when they first met today, Xie Jin was thinking of starting with the Seventh Princess of Fan State, hoping that he could make her fall head over heels in love with him.
However, he didn't expect that the fifth prince was quicker than him and had been following the Seventh Princess of Fan State, leaving him with no way to attack her, so he set his sights on Rong Qianluo again.
"Although my father has always been partial to my second brother, if I insist that the third princess of Rong country become the fourth prince's consort, I believe my father will not refuse."
Xie Jin's eyes darkened slightly, and he murmured to himself: "Even if my father doesn't allow it, my mother will definitely stand on my side."
"Second brother, it's impossible for you to get all the benefits."
The throne will eventually fall into his hands.
Xie Jin seemed to have seen the day when he would sit on the throne, but he did not notice that Rong Qianluo, who was leaning on his shoulder, suddenly moved. Her eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
The scorching flames were a bit blinding, and Rong Qianluo subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes: "Um... where am I?"
"Why does my head hurt so much?"
"Three princesses!"
The sudden sound brought Xie Jin back to his senses.
I didn't expect Rong Qianluo to wake up so soon.
A gloomy look flashed across his eyes, and suddenly a surprised smile appeared on his face. Xie Jin looked gentle, and carefully supported Rong Qianluo, "Third Princess, you finally woke up!"
"Prince Jin?"
Rong Qianluo frowned slightly, she held her forehead and slowly sat up straight. She was shocked to realize that she had been leaning on Prince Jin just now, and a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.
Rong Qianluo took a deep breath, calmed herself down and looked around. She found that they were all in the cave. The blush on her face disappeared instantly and she was a little panicked. "Prince Jin, why are you and I here?"
Seeing that Rong Qianluo seemed to be on guard against him, Xie Jin's eyes darkened and he cursed in his heart, but he still patiently explained:
"The third princess suddenly disappeared earlier, and Prince Xu, Prince Ming, and I went to look for her separately. As a result, when we got here, we found that she had fallen into a deep pit."
"After I managed to rescue the third princess, I wanted to take her back to the manor, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the road was muddy. I was afraid something might happen. Then I found a cave here, so I took the third princess to stay here temporarily to avoid the rain..."
As he spoke, Xie Jin suddenly stood up, his eyes showing apology, and bowed to Rong Qianluo: "I was offended just now, please forgive me, Third Princess."
After he said this, Rong Qianluo suddenly remembered that she accidentally fell into a deep pit. She couldn't climb out at that time and could only be drenched in the rain. If it weren't for Prince Jin, she wouldn't know what would happen to her at this time!
Speaking of which, Prince Jin is her savior!
Rong Qianluo put away the guard in his eyes and stood up quickly, "Prince Jin, you are too polite! I should thank Prince Jin for saving me."
Xie Jin smiled, as if bathed in spring breeze, and said in a gentle tone: "Third Princess, you don't have to thank me. It was our fault that we didn't treat you well enough that you had an accident in the manor."
Rong Qianluo was stunned.
Only then did she realize that Prince Jin's appearance was not inferior to that of Prince Xi.
"Prince Jin..."
"Three princesses!"
"Princess Qianluo!"
"Three princesses!"
As soon as Rong Qianluo finished speaking, he was unexpectedly interrupted by shouting from outside.
Rong Qianluo: ???
"It seems like someone is coming?"
Hearing the familiar shouting outside, Xie Jin's face suddenly darkened. He had originally been thinking of dragging Rong Qianluo here, but he never expected that they would find him so quickly!
Why is it that every time he wants to do something, his second brother has to show up and ruin his plans! ?
But in front of Rong Qianluo, no matter how dissatisfied and resentful Xie Jin was, he could not show it. He could only endure it and grit his teeth secretly.
Xie Jin glanced at the wind and rain outside, then quickly looked away. He raised his eyes to look at Rong Qianluo and curled the corners of his lips: "Someone is indeed coming this way."
"If I heard correctly, it should be Second Brother and his group."
"Really?"
Rong Qianluo was suddenly a little excited. If Prince Xi and others came to find her, then she and Prince Jin would be able to return to the manor soon.
Now she was soaked all over and felt uncomfortable all over. She had to go back to the farm as soon as possible to change into clean clothes!
"Prince Jin, I'm going to go out and take a look!"
Having said that, Rong Qianluo rushed out, totally unaware that Xie Jin, who was standing behind him, had already turned pale.
As soon as Rong Qianluo came out and raised her eyes, she saw a group of people coming from the front. There were not only Crown Prince Xi and Prince Yue, but also her two younger brothers.
Everyone in the group was holding an umbrella, and the fifth prince had a cloak on his shoulders.
Facing the wind and rain, Rong Qianluo stood in front of the cave entrance and shouted: "Fifth brother, Sixth brother! I'm here!"
Before he finished speaking, Rong Qianxu responded, "Third Sister!"
"Sixth brother!"
Rong Qianluo shouted happily, then turned around and said to Xie Jin who was still standing in the cave: "Prince Jin, come out quickly, they are coming!"
"it is good."
Xie Jin's voice was deep.
Coming out of the cave, Xie Jin's slightly cold gaze met Xie Xi who was not far away.
Xie Xi's expression was indifferent, and his eyes, which had always been gentle, were now calm and unfathomable.
For a moment, Xie Jin thought that all the calculations in his mind had been seen through by him.
Xie Jin was standing behind Rong Qianluo, he pursed his lips and remained silent.
Soon, Rong Qianxu rushed over and grabbed Rong Qianluo's hand. The anxiety on his face had not yet faded: "Third sister, I finally found you. Where did you go? Why are you in such a mess?"
"Are you injured? What on earth is going on? Also, why is the Third Princess staying with Prince Jin..."
"OK OK."
Hearing the Sixth Prince's many questions, Rong Qianluo couldn't help but interrupt him, "Sixth Prince, you asked so many questions at once, which question should I answer first?"
"If you have anything to say, wait until we get back to the manor before you say it. Just remember that Prince Jin is my savior!"
"...saviour?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Qianxu was stunned.
Rong Qianming, who was standing next to them, frowned slightly, looked up at Prince Jin, and without saying anything, raised his hand to untie the cloak of the sixth prince and put it on the third sister.
Rong Qianluo smiled, "Fifth brother is still the best at taking care of people!"
Rong Qianxu: “…”
This is obviously his cloak!
Damn it! The Fifth Brother only knows how to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha! !
-
The group returned to the village.
Hot water and a large pot of ginger soup were boiled in the kitchen to ward off the cold. The hot water and bathtub were delivered to the guest room where Rong Qianluo lived. The ginger soup was divided into many bowls and delivered to Lu Xiaoxiao and the others one by one.
While drinking ginger soup, the Seventh Princess of Fan Kingdom deliberately sat next to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, what were you doing outside just now? Why did Princess Qianluo get so embarrassed?"
It has to be said that the Seventh Princess of Fan State is obsessed with gossip and can chat about it with anyone.
He is quite outgoing and not shy.
Lu Xiaoxiao commented secretly in her heart.
After drinking the ginger soup, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the Sixth Prince of Rong who was standing at the door and looking around, and decided to pretend that she knew nothing.
She shook her head and said bewilderedly, "Actually, I don't know what happened. After His Highness and I went out, we just walked around and ended up running into Princess Qianluo..."
"If the Seventh Princess really wants to know what happened, why not ask Princess Qianluo directly later?"
Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to be lying, the Seventh Princess of Fan Kingdom nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, then I'll wait for her to come out."
"..."
Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at Xie Xi secretly, and just happened to meet his gentle gaze, she subconsciously blinked at him.
Xie Xi: ...
Xie Xi coughed lightly, drank the ginger soup, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his fingers, then said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, come back to the guest room with me and rest for a while."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Xiaoxiao's answer, he reached out and pulled her up: "Let's go."
"Okay, Your Highness."
Lu Xiaoxiao answered obediently.
The Seventh Princess of Fan State, who was originally thinking about continuing to gossip with Lu Xiaoxiao, was stunned: ???
The Seventh Princess of Fan State looked puzzled: "Prince Xi wants to go and rest, why does he have to take Xiao Xiao with him?"
"puff--"
All the ginger soup in the mouth of the Crown Prince of Fan State was sprayed out, almost spraying all over the Seventh Princess. Fortunately, the Seventh Princess dodged in time and was not harmed. She stood up suddenly and looked at her brother, the Crown Prince, aggrievedly: "Brother Crown Prince, what are you doing!?"
Lu Xiaoxiao, Xie Xi: "..."
Both of them were speechless.
The Crown Prince of Fan State quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Seventh Imperial Sister, Crown Prince Brother didn't mean it just now, it was really--"
"It's true that what you said was too..." Ridiculous.
Princess Fanguo Seven didn't understand what he meant and asked angrily, "What did I just say?"
"you--"
"Gu and Xiaoxiao will not disturb you anymore."
The Prince of Fan was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by Xie Xi's words, "Xiao Xiao, let's go."
"it is good."
Before leaving, Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at the Seventh Princess of Fan State with mixed feelings.
Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi left.
Princess Fan's face suddenly fell, and she stared at her brother, the Crown Prince, aggrieved, "It's all your fault. Xiaoxiao ran away with Crown Prince Xi and ignored me!"
Prince Fan almost laughed out loud:?
Doesn’t the Seventh Princess remember that Miss Lu is a member of Prince Xi’s family?
Since they are family members, isn't it normal for her to go back to the guest room with Prince Xi?
What did the Seventh Princess blame him for?
-
Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi returned to the guest room. They lived in the same room, which was on the east side, while the guest room chosen by the Fourth Prince Xie Jin was on the west side. There was quite a distance between the two sides.
Xie Jin was on guard against Xie Xi.
Xie Xi and Lu Xiaoxiao already knew this very well.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince has now become Princess Qianluo's savior."
Lu Xiaoxiao leaned on the couch with her head drooped, looking a little listless.
[It’s all my fault for being careless. If I had kept staring at the Fourth Prince’s abnormality, he would definitely not have become the lifesaver of the Third Princess of Rong.]
[What a pity, the Fourth Prince was only halfway successful.]
[The Third Princess of Rong is very much loved and valued by the Emperor of Rong. I guess that's what the Fourth Prince saw in her, right? ]
This was the first time Lu Xiaoxiao felt frustrated. She could have protected the Third Princess of Rong Country first, but she...
"Little."
Xie Xi suddenly sat beside her. He stretched out his hand, gently took her into his arms, bent down and kissed her forehead: "Don't let your imagination run wild."
He knew her self-blame and her regret.
But in Xie Xi's opinion, she was not wrong, and everything she did now was good enough.
He didn't want to make her so tired.
Not everything can be done perfectly, everything depends on human efforts. He believes that no matter what, what belongs to him will only belong to him and others cannot take it away.
"Your Highness."
Lu Xiaoxiao leaned obediently in his arms and sighed softly, "I didn't think about anything."
Xie Xi hummed softly, looked at her face tenderly, and raised his hand to gently stroke her hair. "I can't tell you too much about the affairs of the court."
"But, Xiaoxiao, you must believe in me. I will not put myself in danger, and I will not lose."
Lu Xiaoxiao raised her face, stared at him straight, and said seriously: "I believe Your Highness."
"it is good."
Xie Xi curled his lips and smiled gently and tenderly.
After sitting on the couch for a while, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt sleepy. She yawned and tears were about to come out.
She tried hard to hold back her tears and tugged at Xie Xi's sleeve, "Your Highness, I'm sleepy."
Xie Xi let her go.
Lu Xiaoxiao crawled to the innermost part of the couch, lifted the quilt, and patted the other side of the bed. She pursed her lips and called out "Your Highness"!
Xie Xi stared at her deeply, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I'm alone."
Lu Xiaoxiao blinked, "Your Highness, would you please come up as well?"
Xie Xi: "Okay."
Lu Xiaoxiao was just about to lie down when she realized that the hairpin on her hair had not been taken off.
She slowly moved in front of Xie Xi and lowered her head, "Your Highness, help me take it off."
After Xie Xi took off all her hairpins, he took off her outer clothes and placed them on the shelf on the other side.
Xie Xi looked indulgent and said with a smile: "Okay, lie down."
After lying down, Lu Xiaoxiao turned sideways and stared at Xie Xi's movements.
Seeing him lower his head, he untied his belt with his bony fingers and took off his coat...
Sensing Lu Xiaoxiao's burning gaze, Xie Xi paused slightly, and his jade-like face instantly turned slightly red.
Even his ears turned red.
Xie Xi pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Xiao Xiao, you..."
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him innocently.
