The courtyard was surrounded by the guards of the Black Forest Palace, and the prisons in the capital are now overcrowded.

It is said that if the queen hadn't been in the theater at the time and stopped the guards at a critical moment, the order they had received was to send the actors directly to the guillotine.

Not only the actors were detained, but even the audience who went to the theater were under investigation.

It is said that the only person who escaped unscathed that night was Liu Guang, who also received the invitation, and left the theater shortly after the first act began.Rumor has it that he tipped the lady off.

The capital is in chaos right now.As the day when the eldest prince enters the capital draws nearer, the atmosphere of imminent rain has infected the entire empire.

Before he knew it, he had already arrived at the nursing home. Shao Xulin stopped the car, looked up at the light from the window of Jian Hua's ward, his frowns relaxed, and he slowly smiled.

He's not dead, there's nothing better than that.

Today is rather strange.Shao Xulin was in the corridor, observing his surroundings calmly.

Usually, three groups of guards from the capital, guards from the satellite cities, and soldiers from Storm Valley surrounded Jian Hua's ward. Although Shao Xulin also felt disgusted, considering that there were people from Liu Guang among them, he would protect Jian Hua. If they are safe, they are not forced to evacuate.Today, the corridor was unbelievably quiet, and the three-color military uniforms were all gone.

Could something have happened?

Shao Xulin quickened his pace and rushed into Jian Hua's ward in a few steps.

Jian Hua stood in the middle of the ward, squatting in front of him was a girl with long hair, and when they heard the door knock, the two of them turned their heads together and looked at Shao Xulin.

"What happened?" Shao Xulin said, walked to Jian Hua's side, and held his hand.

Jian Hua had an extremely helpless expression on his face. He glanced forward and said, "The princess is here."

The girl curled up on the ground as if she had a stomachache was Chen Fang. Since she found Jian Hua, she hadn't appeared in front of Shao Xulin for a while.

On this rainy night, she suddenly appeared in Jian Hua's ward.

She raised her face, she didn't know whether it was rain or sweat, her whole body was soaked, and her long skirt was dragged on the ground, dripping down.

He looked extremely embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Shao Xulin asked, not sure if he was asking Jian Hua or Chen Fang.

Chen Fang also just came in from the rain outside, his face pale, looked at Shao Xulin, smiled tremblingly, and said, "You're back."

She spoke strangely, her tone of voice was very strange, and her manner was even more strange.

Shao Xulin turned his head and glanced at Jian Hua, stepped forward to help her up, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chen Fang didn't know where the pain came from, Shao Xulin helped her to sit on the sofa next to her, and watched her bend over and curl up into a ball again.

"You go..." Chen Fang said, "You go and tell my elder brother,... the eldest prince, to tell him not to go to the capital."

Both Shao Xulin and Jian Hua's expressions changed.

"My mother is going to kill him." Princess Chen Fang said.

——This is not unexpected, that lady is known for her cruelty.

"What do you know?" Shao Xulin squatted down and asked eagerly.

"A few days ago... during the performance of "Prince Haran", my classmate was arrested a lot... I went to my mother to plead, and I heard... I heard her talking to others, cutting grass and roots... and saying, and saying that this time I will definitely not It will be like this, and we will never suffer forever." Chen Fang's face was pale, and tears kept rolling out of his eyes.

"What else did she say?" Shao Xulin asked.

"She was scolding the eldest prince's mother...she was scolding so badly," Chen Fang said, "She said that the old queen's people must be playing tricks on this matter."

The old queen is her husband's ex-wife, and it is only natural that she hates her. It has long been rumored that the death of the old queen was also caused by her.

"I'm sorry..." Chen Fang was talking, and suddenly burst into tears with a "wow", saying sorry over and over again.

Shao Xulin looked at her probingly.

"They also talked about you," Chen Fang said while crying, "They said that the old city lord of the satellite city had edited the files of the case more than ten years ago according to her order, saying that you can't reverse the case. They said 'scapegoat' Just treat it as a thousand years and thousands of years'..."

"Let's be the scapegoat for thousands of years!"

This is about Shao Xulin's father, and the poor eldest prince of Beibei City.

Shao Xulin stood up abruptly and walked around the room a few times.Hands clenched into fists, nails clenched into palms.

"Ahem..." Chen Fang suddenly coughed twice, then lowered his head in pain.

She seemed to be suffering from some kind of ailment.

"She needs to be checked. I'll go to the doctor." Jian Hua said, turning around and going out of the ward.

"No!" Shao Xulin interrupted him suddenly, standing in front of him.

Jian Hua was stunned, and the two looked at each other.The moment their eyes collided, the gap that had not been seen for a long time suddenly surged up again.

Shao Xulin clearly remembered that shortly before his adoptive father's death, he once saw his adoptive father burning the materials of the case.

Adoptive father, Liu Guang, and Jian Hua, the three of them cannot be said to be bad people, but they all held the same position on the case back then. — they are on the side of injustice.

The adoptive father tampered with the file in accordance with the order of the vicious woman.

Liu Guang (possibly) informed the Forest Palace and arrested members of the drama club of the Imperial Women's University who sympathized with Beibei City.

What about Jian Hua?Is he also doing everything possible to prevent himself from taking revenge? Now that he is going out of the ward to find a doctor, is he planning to inform others and take Chen Fang away?Since then, I have blocked my chance to get the truth.

Shao Xulin's heart beat faster than ever. He looked at Jian Hua as if his hands and feet were numb.

After a long time, Shao Xulin stepped forward and hugged Jian Hua tightly, as if he wanted to restrain him forever.

"I love you..." he said, "I love you... please... just this once, don't get in my way."

click, click, click, click...

The sound of rain came from outside, vaguely mixed with the sound of clocks and watches.

Shao Xulin's father once had a pocket watch, and the hands stopped moving a long time ago, possibly the day his father died.

Now it seems to hear its voice again.

Tick ​​tick, like a countdown, came from the nether world.

☆、Fire Forest Palace·8

Chen Fang squatted on the ground, clenched his hands into fists, put them between his knees and his chest, and pressed against his stomach tightly.

The pain starts there and spreads to the nerves all over the body.The kind of pain that feels like the heart is being squeezed tightly for a while, and the pain of all the blood vessels bursting for a while.

—Mom, are you really going to kill me?

She thought, eyes sour again.

She believed that she had been poisoned, and after breaking through her mother's secret, the mother would kill her own daughter.

She had heard all kinds of legends about her mother when she was at school. One of them was that her mother poisoned her father's ex-wife, and the old queen died of pain afterwards.It's a pity that she didn't believe it at the time.

The bursts of severe pain almost made her lose her ability to perceive her surroundings. She tried her best to raise her head, and saw Shao Xulin and Jian Hua standing face to face.

—what are they talking about?

She couldn't hear it, and her gaze finally involuntarily rested on Shao Xulin's face.As a pampered little princess, although she always ignores her mother intentionally or unintentionally in her life, it is generally smooth sailing.Shao Xulin was the most beautiful person she had ever met, the one who never pretended to her, and the one who encouraged her when she was frustrated.

Even if you're going to die, it's worth it to see him.

Thinking of this, her heart gradually calmed down.

"Hey!" At this moment, the door of the ward was knocked open, and a group of people dressed in capital guard uniforms poured in.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion and a well-trimmed beard.Everyone is holding a gun, as if they are facing a big enemy.

"What are you doing?" Jian Hua asked, moved a step, and stood in front of Princess Chen Fang calmly.

The leader of the yellow-faced man swept the whole room with his sharp eyes as soon as he came in.At this moment, a completely different smile appeared on his face, and he saluted and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Shao, Mr. Jane."

He took out a small bottle of something like spray from his pocket, walked around Jian Hua, walked up to Chen Fang, squatted down, grabbed Chen Fang's arm with one hand, and wanted her to face him.

"Stop!" Shao Xulin grabbed his hand and glared at him, "What is this?"

The leader of the guards smiled and said, "Mr. Shao, don't be nervous. The princess is sick. What I have in my hand is medicine, which can make her feel better."

Shao Xulin followed his gaze and turned to look at Chen Fang. Sure enough, Chen Fang's face was distorted in pain, he clenched his teeth, and there were bloodstains on his lips.

Jian Hua also came over and patted his hand.Shao Xulin let go of his hand.

The leader of the guards smiled, supported Chen Fang, and said, "Princess, you forgot to bring the medicine. Your mother and Her Majesty the Queen are very worried about you. Take the medicine and go back to the capital with us."

When Chen Fang heard the word "mother", she seemed to gain strength suddenly. She stood up abruptly and pushed away the guard's hand stretched out to her. Because of too much force, she also took a few steps back and fell on the sofa. .

"Go away..." Chen Fang covered his eyes with his fingers and shouted, "Don't come near me."

"Princess, what's the matter with you?" The head of the guards didn't change his expression, Huang's face was still full of smiles, "This is an old problem of yours, and this time it's a symptom that only occurs when you stop taking the medicine. You will get better after taking the medicine."

There was movement at the door again.

Looking back, Jian Hua saw that it was Yu Feicheng who had arrived, along with several soldiers from the satellite city in blue military uniforms.It may also have received information about the arrival of the princess.

The leader of the guards was respectful to Jian Hua and Shao Xulin, but when he saw Yufei City, the supreme commander of the satellite city, he acted as if he hadn't seen it. He only glanced at him, and then looked back at Chen Fang.

"Your mother is very worried about you, please take medicine, Your Highness Princess." He coaxed with a pleasant face.

"No," Chen Fang had a mental breakdown at the moment. He supported the sofa with his hands in a panic and avoided the leader. He was forced to the corner and burst into tears, "She wants to kill me! She even killed my father!"

For a moment, everyone's face changed drastically.

Chen Fang is a princess, and her father is an old king.

For the first time, someone expressed doubts about the lady in public, and she was her own daughter.

The smile on the face of the leader of the guards was all gone, and a terrible light flashed in his eyes.

"Princess, you have a fever." He said, stepped forward, pinched Chen Fang's small chin, and pressed his thumb hard, forcing Chen Fang to open his mouth.

"Ah!" Chen Fang screamed, fixed his eyes on the bottle in the hand of the leader of the guards, and shook his head desperately.

"Stop!" Shao Xulin was about to step up when Jian Hua grabbed him behind him.Shao Xulin looked back at Jian Hua, and Jian Hua whispered, "It's the antidote."

Over there, the head of the guards poured medicine on Chen Fang, ignored Chen Fang who was still coughing, straightened himself up, took out a square towel to wipe the sweat on his hands, and said, "Go and pour a cup for the princess." water come."

"Yes!" Immediately, two of his men turned around and wanted to go out.

"Wait!" It was Yu Feicheng who interrupted him.Following Yu Feicheng's voice, the guards of the satellite city firmly guarded the door of the ward.

"Yu Feicheng, what are you doing?" the leader of the guards asked.

"Did everyone hear what the princess said just now?" Yu Feicheng said unhurriedly.

In an instant, the air in the room seemed to condense, and even the yellow face of the head of the guards was a little livid.

He looked back at Chen Fang who was slowly calming down, and said, "Is there a safer room?"

Yu Feicheng took everyone to the next empty room, while Chen Fang and a guard on both sides of Capital Satellite City stayed in the ward.

"If," Yu Feicheng said, "if you don't want to live in the time tower for a long time, a short time, or a lifetime, no one is allowed to say what happened today." The time tower is a prison cell in the Black Forest Palace, and there are various legends It changes the color of people.

The head of the guards also said: "If the princess's nonsense when she had a fever spread, all of us will die."

Their respective subordinates also knew the seriousness, and they all swore that they didn't hear anything. Yu Feicheng and the leader asked one by one, and when they got to Shao Xulin, Shao Xulin gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

The leader of the guards smiled slightly and skipped over Shao Xulin.Yu Feicheng would not make things difficult for him, the two tacitly bypassed Shao Xulin and Jian Hua, and only restrained their own subordinates.

"Then," the head of the guards turned his attention to Shao Xulin and Jian Hua again after receiving the assurance from his subordinates, "The princess came to the satellite city late at night and drove away all the guards at the gate. ?”

Shao Xulin kept his face sullen and did not speak, and Jian Hua did not move either.

The head of the guards stared at them for a while, and the same smile appeared on his face little by little.

Now, Jian Hua already knew that this person was just a smiling tiger, with clear goals and vicious methods.

The leader of the guards took a step closer to them and said, "Sirs, you also have a word, don't pretend to be dumb. The princess is the precious heart of Her Majesty the Queen and that lady, and she went back so ill. They don't know how to respond." If you do something, you will definitely be angry, and at that time, it will not be someone with a good temper like me who comes to you."

"Why you came here," Jian Hua said, "you should ask Her Royal Highness the Princess."

——To be honest, Jian Hua still had doubts about why Chen Fang appeared in her ward.If the princess overheard important words and sensed danger, then the safest thing for her to escape from the palace was Liu Guang.After all, Liu Guang was in the capital in the eye of the storm, and he and Shao Xulin were thousands of miles away from the capital.

But Chen Fang came, braved the heavy rain and came alone, and went straight to Jian Hua's ward. He didn't say a word until he saw Shao Xulin, and Jian Hua kept asking him again and again without saying a word.After Shao Xulin arrived, he poured beans out of the bamboo tube, accusing his mother and stirring up Shao Xulin's spirit.

"Mr. Jian, don't be angry." Seeing Jian Hua's tough attitude, the leader of the guards softened, "We are also curious, and we shouldn't ask these questions in the first place, but just a reminder, if other people come to ask in the future, you Let's be more prepared." He said with a smile on his face.

"No need to ask." A voice came from the door.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Princess Chen Fang standing there holding on to the door frame. After taking the antidote, her complexion improved a lot, and the brows that were locked because of the pain had already opened.Her body is still very weak, but in the past her eyes were mostly clear and innocent, now there is also a haze, like the kind of rogue who is not afraid of anything after giving up something.

"I was very ill just now," Chen Fang said, "I don't remember what I said, but they didn't know about my coming here, and they probably don't understand why by now."

It can be seen that after the outburst just now, Chen Fang has calmed down now, his speech is clear, and his demeanor is also elegant and solemn.

"Oh," the leader of the guards pretended to be relieved, and put on a flattering expression, "When I went in, I saw that the princess was not in a good condition. Could it be that they were being unreasonable to the princess?"

"No..." Chen Fang shook his head and said, "I came here in a daze because of a fever and feeling sad. It's my business and has nothing to do with them."

"Then what is the princess doing here? You left the capital without telling Her Majesty the Queen and his wife. I asked you clearly, so I can help you and your mother when you go back."

Chen Fang was startled, bit his lip and lowered his head to think for a moment, then took a deep look at Shao Xulin, and said, "I'm very ill, I thought I was going to die, and I rushed over because I couldn't let go of something."

Tears welled up in Chen Fang's eyes.

Everyone in the room looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yu Feicheng suddenly asked: "The princess will return to the capital this time, will Madam confine her?"

The head of the guard thought for a while: "Madam is very angry, maybe after the anger subsides, the princess will be able to act on her own."

He and Yu Feicheng shook their heads and smiled wryly. The princess' mother was a person who held grudges. According to the legend, she even had the heart to kill her own husband.If Chen Fang's words were known today, or she had doubts about her daughter in the first place.Chen Fang's future is uncertain.

"What if," Yu Feicheng said while deliberating, "can bad things turn into happy ones?"

☆、Fire Forest Palace·9

"A bad thing turned into a happy one?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and at Princess Chen Fang, most of them understood the meaning of Yu Feicheng's words.Someone stared at Shao Xulin, only to see that his face was still expressionless, his eyes staring at the princess did not seem particularly affectionate.

Yu Feicheng and the yellow-faced guard leader looked at each other for a while, and they both understood each other's meaning and nodded.

Yu Feicheng turned around, walked to Shao Xulin's side, and said, "Xulin, Princess Chen Fang's return to the palace this time is not good or bad. It's trivial for the lady to take care of her daughter, and it's no problem to take care of us."

The head of the guards also came over and said: "Mr. Shao, even if the lady is satisfied that we have sent the princess back to the palace, in the future, Her Majesty the Queen will be angry. She loves her sister so much, it is not easy to fight against her mother, and it will attack us little ones." On you, it couldn't be easier." As he spoke, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "When gods fight, no matter who wins or loses, the unlucky ones are us shrimp soldiers and crab generals!" Compared to his usual smiling face, only this The wry smile seems to have three points of sincerity.

Shao Xulin also understood what they meant, with a sullen face, refusing to speak, as if he wanted to take a step back.

Yu Feicheng grabbed him and said, "Shao Xulin, think about it again, the best thing for the princess to do is to be imprisoned to death by that lady. You know what that lady has done. The princess knows the secret she has hidden for so many years." , there will be no way out! Think again, if you were going to die then, how did the princess save you? Even if you stand by now, if the princess dies, which one of her elder sister, elder brother, and second elder brother will let us go? of?"

The people around rushed over, and the guard of the Forest Palace said to Shao Xulin: "The princess is pitiful, and she has a deep love for you... Just because she saved you at that time, you should also repay her favor this time..."

The guards in the satellite city also talked about the battle where Shao Xulin became famous. In the end, Chen Fang ran barefoot to the mecha operated by Shao Xulin.

"I've met Marshal Shao before," said the head of the guards, staring at Shao Xulin with meaningful eyes, "Marshal is a man who repays every drop of water."

——As long as Shao Xulin falsely claimed that he had entered into a marriage contract with the princess, there would be a reason for the princess to come to the satellite city in the rainy night. The lady could not imprison the princess, let alone assassinate the princess secretly.

——The princess knew about the injustice committed by the eldest prince and Shao Xulin's father more than ten years ago, and it was the only key to find out the truth about the murder. Keeping her saved the possibility of redressing her injustice.

All this can be done as long as Shao Xulin nods at this moment.

There were many voices constantly echoing in his head, Shao Xulin turned his head, like before, wanted to see Jian Hua's face, and judged from his expression that what he did was correct.

There is no Jian Hua there, nowhere.

At an unknown time, he went out silently by himself.

Shao Xulin turned his head and saw many strange faces, talking to him anxiously.

There was also Chen Fang, whose face was full of tears, who lowered his head and dared not look at him.

a few days later.

The heavy rain finally stopped after five days and five nights. When the sun rose in the morning, the dew quickly evaporated and disappeared.

Jian Hua stood in front of her adoptive father's tomb, once again brushing off the dust on the tombstone.

"You are here!" Someone said, walking from behind him.

It was Liu Guang, wearing a neat military uniform, standing beside Jian Hua, and respectfully bowed three times to the tombstone of the old city lord of the satellite city.Turning his face away again, he patted Jian Hua's shoulder with a smile: "Let's go, we brothers go to the front and back hills for a walk."

The cemetery adjoined a low hill covered with freshly grown grass as soft as the finest velvet.

Jian Hua followed Liu Guang to the highest point of the dwarf mountain, and sat down without saying a word.

Liu Guang glanced at him, smiled, walked over, and handed him a cigarette.

Without saying anything, Jian Hua lit up and took a deep breath.

"What? Let you move freely? I thought you would be under house arrest in the hospital for a few days." Liu Guang asked.

"Yes," Jian Hua nodded, "I heard that the queen gave an order to lift the surveillance on me."

"That's right," Liu Guang understood, "You are about to become her sister's uncle. She has to be more polite to you, otherwise you will become a family in the future. What if you bully her sister?"

Jian Hua smiled wryly, "I wouldn't even dare to lend my courage."

"Yes, you're just standing in front of me," Liu Guang sat down beside him, "That's all you can do."

The two sat on the hillside, with the cemetery in front of them, and the large and small buildings of the satellite city in front of them.

After smoking one cigarette, Liu Guang lit another for Jian Hua.

"Look at us puffing and puffing." Jian Hua looked up at the top of her head.

"Come back to Stormwind Valley with me." Liu Guang said at the same time.

This was the first sentence the two said at the same time after a long silence. They looked at each other and laughed together.

"Damn it, I'm going to the capital to stand trial!" Jian Hua said.

"Don't worry about this. When I heard that your brother is going to marry her sister, the Queen's attitude towards you is a 180-degree turn. Didn't you see that no one is in a hurry to escort you to the capital these days. Look at you No one cares about you running around outside," Liu Guang patted his thigh, "I said before that the special envoy of the capital who died was not a big shot, and the meritorious deeds of you and Shao Xulin can be forgiven, so there is no rush to get you to the capital The reason for killing you. Looking at it now, it’s still that stupid girl who wants to help my sister get rid of you! Now that they are getting married, no one will mention this matter.”

Jian Hua seemed to think for a while, then said hesitantly, "But I have to go to the capital."

"You idiot!" Liu Guang seemed to hate iron for being weak, "You can't really go to the capital, right? The eldest prince is going to the capital soon, are you waiting to see their brothers and sisters, mother and daughter fighting? , If you are careful, you will die! It doesn’t matter if you die, if I continue to stay in this ghost place, I will die by accident, what will the brothers in Stormwind Valley do!”

He deliberately pretended to be very anxious, angrily gesticulating, to make Jian Hua happy.

Sure enough, Jian Hua laughed and kicked him.

Liu Guang said: "Okay, okay, no kidding, I'm serious, let's go quickly, don't wade in this muddy water. Your brother... Bah, the little bastard surnamed Shao couldn't tell the difference, so he went to the big city in the capital by himself." We can't get into the net, we can't. We have defended Stormwind Valley so that foreign enemies can't get in, so that they can fight internally more conveniently, right?"

"I have sent several war warnings from Stormwind Valley, and I will tell the queen tomorrow that I have to go back if there is a war. Shao Xulin is going to be her brother-in-law. You are the only person who is familiar with mechs. The queen will definitely let you go! You don't have time to stay here and get depressed, pack up and get out with me."

"This one……"

"Why are you hesitating? Are you really going to attend the little bastard's wedding? Am I supposed to be the man's parent?"

"Go to hell!" Jian Hua was furious, and almost wanted to fight Liu Guang, "I have two little brothers, and they have helped me a lot, I can't leave them alone, I have to find a good one. way out."

"Oh," Liu Guang also put away his dishonest face, "Is it Tian Ruiqi and Su Chen?"

He also saw Tian Ruiqi's figure from the stereoscopic projection that day. After investigation, he found out the relationship between Tian Ruiqi and Beibeicheng, and also recognized his companion, Su Chen, the staff officer of Beibeicheng.

"Now they are traitors in Beibei City, if you leave them, don't you send them to die?"

"Then let's go to Storm Valley together," Liu Guang said carelessly, without any grievances, "Tian Ruiqi was trained by me, you and me to be Shao Xulin's successor, and his mecha operation took a lot of effort to get out of the teacher. It hurts me to others! I don't dislike him eating my food in Stormwind Valley and being a member of the northern city, so stay and work hard for me."

"He probably won't."

"Hey, young man is still big-hearted? Do you think I'm poor in Stormwind Valley? Then let him go to other fortresses, Youth Fortress, Easter Island Fortress, whatever he chooses." Liu Guang said very grandly, obviously only in Stormwind Valley The commander of the fortress, with the tone of a marshal, seems to have all the seven fortresses in the galaxy under his control.

"Let's go quickly. The satellite cities are busy marrying the princess, and the capital city is anxious to marry the princess. The Queen and Yu Feicheng are eager for us to get out of here."

Jian Hua looked at Liu Guangxiao, and the bad mood of the past few days seemed to be swept away: "Okay."

Jian Hua originally wanted to leave the satellite city quietly, so as not to bring any sorrow of parting to the atmosphere of the upcoming grand wedding.

Sure enough, as Liu Guang said, when the capital heard that the battle in Stormwind Valley was tense, they immediately ordered Liu Guang and Jian Hua to leave the satellite city, and even Jian Hua's amnesty order came down.

He didn't have anything to bring. Last time when he and Shao Xulin escaped from the satellite city in embarrassment, they were also empty-handed.

The night before he left, he packed up his room and went to Liu Guang's residence for a meeting.

In front of the courtyard gate, I saw Shao Xulin standing in the courtyard, next to the musical fountain.His eyes were so ruthless that he wanted to eat people.

"Xu Lin." Although Jian Hua and him hadn't seen each other for several days since he got engaged to the princess, Jian Hua still greeted him relaxedly with a normal tone.

Shao Xulin looked at Jian Hua with an unprecedentedly fierce expression.He said, "Are you going to Stormwind Valley?"

Jian Hua nodded.

——It had already been spread a few days ago, but he may have been busy with the wedding recently, so he only knew about it.

He seemed to be able to hear the sound of Shao Xulin's clenched fists. He endured for a long time in the dark night, and finally suppressed a smile, saying: "Brother, don't rush away, wait for me to go back to Stormwind Valley together. I also want the Venus Star Already?" The tone was coquettish, extremely gentle, but trembling imperceptibly.

Jian Hua looked at him quietly, smiled, and said, "I can't wait anymore."

In one sentence, Shao Xulin's heart sank to the bottom.

—Are you leaving me too?You...don't want me too?

Jian Hua seriously looked at Shao Xulin's figure under the moonlight, and suddenly understood the way he looked at Shao Xulin on the day his adoptive father died.

——Everything he did was right, righteous, and righteous.

It is oneself who is unjust.

Shao Xulin's father was wronged, and the throne should belong to the eldest prince.

The adoptive father was cowardly, and the lady was sinful.

But... the position that has been doomed since birth cannot be changed at all.

He was not qualified to stop Shao Xulin from doing anything.There shouldn't even be disappointment.

Different ways, after all, do not conspire with each other.

He looked at Shao Xulin.

——I won’t be able to see him again in the future, so I’m greedy and reluctant to look away.

"It's been hard work recently, let's go back and rest early." Jian Hua said.No matter how long the farewell is, there needs to be an end.

"...I don't!" Shao Xulin, who had been silent all this time, said, as if he had caught a cold, with a strong nasal voice in his words, which was very different from his usual calmness.

His voice was so loud that a few passers-by were startled and looked this way in surprise.

This is not a place to talk, Shao Xulin stepped forward quickly, grabbed Jian Hua's hand, and dragged him towards the jeep.

Jian Hua didn't struggle, but silently followed behind him.

There were still a lot of patrolling soldiers going back and forth around them. They were surprised to see the two sons of the old city lord walking quickly in the night camp with stern expressions, and got into the jeep at a speed as fast as flying.

No one dares to control.One of them looked like they were going to kill someone, and the other looked like the sky was about to collapse.

Walking to their house, the adoptive father's mansion, he closed the door and hugged Jian Hua tightly.

"Brother...Jing Chen..." As before, he called his brother softly over and over again.

He was still young, and apart from Jian Hua, there was no second close person in his life.So he is clumsy and dull, and only this lame way, expressing his apology, or longing for intimacy.

In the past, no matter how angry he was again, my brother would helplessly grab his neck back and sigh slowly.Then he knew he had been forgiven.

——But this time, it seems that my brother will not forgive him.

My brother stood there stiffly, like a wooden man.

"Jing Chen..." He could no longer hide the tremor in his voice, "Take me with you, I will go to Storm Valley with you."

Jian Hua smiled lowly, and patted his shoulder: "It's very boring there, it's not suitable for you."

"Don't leave me behind!" Shao Xulin couldn't help but raise his voice again. He took two deep breaths, suppressed his beating heart, and his voice became harsh, "Are you trying to avoid me? Are you scared?"

He paused, and suddenly a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is my younger brother really a stain on your great future?"

"No!" Jian Hua shook her head, "I am your stain."

In the quiet night, all he could hear was his calm, sad voice: "What are you going to do with the princess?"

Shao Xulin was stunned.

To him, the matter of marrying the princess seemed to be just a few dry words on the paperwork.He felt like a puppet, being manipulated by Yu Feicheng, Huang Yuan, the queen, the eldest prince, and the princess in a daze, and numbly completed every instruction step by step.

It wasn't until this moment that this marriage approached him with a hideous face for the first time.

"Xu Lin." Jian Hua solemnly called Shao Xu Lin.

"You're still young." Up to this point, Jian Hua shook her head to herself and said with a wry smile, "No, it should be because you are too young. In the past, people told me that I was too spoiled by you, that's why you always refused to grow up."

Jian Hua pondered for a while, then continued: "Maybe they are right, but I always think about the hardships you suffered when you were young, and I always want to treat you better and better."

"—But now, you should grow up. Be responsible for yourself and the princess."

Jian Hua pushed Shao Xulin away and said, "From now on, I can't let you go."

——Shao ​​Xulin didn't even know that Jian Hua was angry.

Jian Hua left.

Shao Xulin stood at the door, from late night to dawn to early morning.My heart felt like it was about to burst, and it was beating very violently.

Do not be angry!

do not go!

He opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

It was dark.It seemed like it would never light up again.

The door was kept open and ajar, but Jian Hua never came back.

I don't know how long it has passed, I don't know what time it was, I heard a woman's voice, saying something eagerly.

The darkness in front of him faded away, and there was Chen Fang's face in front of him.

"They said they couldn't reach you, what's wrong with you? My sister invited us to the capital, the eldest prince is coming soon, we have to go back, otherwise mother will kill eldest brother." Chen Fang said.

Suddenly, seeing his expression, Chen Fang was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shao Xulin lowered his head, and for a long time, he pretended to say, "It's nothing, I'm probably hungry."

Chen Fang was stunned for a while, then looked at him seriously for a long time, then smiled and said, "I'm crying from hunger."

Shao Xulin was also taken aback, and raised his hand to touch his face, and when water got on his hand, he actually burst into tears.

"It doesn't matter..." Chen Fang said, "We will break off the engagement when the eldest prince leaves the capital safely. What's happening now is all fake...all fake..."

Chen Fang felt extremely pained in his heart, he was smiling, and tears rolled down his eyes: "It's okay, it's no big deal if you don't love me, I still have a sister, she loves me the most... I also have a sister..."

In the early morning, Jian Hua and Liu Guang went to the airport together. Tian Ruiqi and Su Chen arrived early. When they saw Liu Guang, their expressions were still embarrassed. There might still be the enmity between Beibei City and Stormwind Valley mixed in.

Liu Guang first pushed Tian Ruiqi and Su Chen onto the plane, then turned his head to look at Jian Hua behind him.
