"Stop!" Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Cen Zhu immediately walked over to block the way, "If you want to leave, you can, hand over the horse!"

The boy didn't wear a blue scarf, his hair was all messed up, covering his small eyes, he looked like a little lunatic.Cen Zhu couldn't see his expression clearly, so he didn't expect that he would pounce on her, scratched her front, turned around and ran away.

When she realized that the jade pendant in her arms had been hooked by him, she rushed to the top of her head in anger, and chased after her, "Brat, you? Stop!"

The boy ran through the woods and came to the edge of the cold pool, looked back at Cen Zhu who was rushing towards him, and threw the jade pendant to the water.With a ding-dong sound, the suet jade pendant drew a not-so-elegant arc in the air, before submerging into the misty pool.

"You?!!!" Cen Zhu only had time to grab his empty wrist, watched the jade pendant disappear without a trace, turned around and slammed him onto the rock next to him.

When Li Jingchen heard the loud "plop" sound, and those children caught up with him, he only saw the angry boy standing on the bank.Cen Zhu was nowhere to be seen, she asked sharply, "Where is she?"

The boy shouted: "Jumped into the cold pool and drowned!"

"Slap!" Before he finished speaking, Li Jingchen slapped him in the face, almost using all the energy in his body: "If you dare to talk nonsense, you will be left alone. There will be no place for you to die!"

The boy was stunned by the beating, lying on the ground, hot blood gushed out of his nose, and evenly spread it on his face with his hands.He was frightened, turned over, kicked the ground with his heels and moved back step by step.

Seeing that Li Jing's eyes were red and he looked like he wanted to kill someone, the other boys were afraid and dared not go forward.

Li Jingchen was furious and furious, he didn't expect such a heavy hand.Panic, bewilderment, anger, and uneasiness emptied her sanity.If killing him can make Cen Zhu safe, she thought, she would kill him without hesitation.

Time passed by, and she no longer cared about the people on the ground, and shouted loudly at Lin Zi: "What are you waiting for, come down immediately to save people!"

Hearing the trembling of branches, four heavily armed men in black slid down from the tree one after another, quickly retracted the filaments on their arms, and arched their bodies "swish" through the grass, like sharp They rushed to the edge of the cold pool like arrows, and the two leaders plunged into the cold pool without saying a word, and the other two were also ready to enter the water, ready to make up for it when their companions were exhausted.

The children were petrified by the battle, and looked straight at the water.But they didn't ignore the three people by the water. They had a lower and more frightening aura than the cold pool, like a firecracker that would explode at any moment.

This cold pool is very cold, and the surroundings are covered with white snow. People in the pool cannot last long.

Time seems to have passed for a long time, long enough to eat away one's patience and composure.

With a sound of "哗啦", finally there was the sound of water coming out from the mist, and Li Jingchen took a step into the cold pool.The icy pool of water overflowed her ankles, continuing to give her a piercing chill.

Two men in black carried the unconscious Cen Zhu up the shore with difficulty, and carried her under the sun. Both of them were shivering from the cold. The first time Li Jingzhu saw the man, his heart suddenly went cold.

Her body was already frozen stiff, her hands clasped into fists in front of her chest, maintaining the curled up position of a baby.The eyes that were once alive were tightly closed, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

Fear is like an avalanche, without any reason.

Li Jingchen hugged her tightly with open arms, wanting to transfer his heat to her, to warm that cold body, even if he paid any price.

However, that person seemed to be in a deep sleep, ignoring her call and pity, and only presented her with a lifeless, pale face.

"Cen Zhuo, you? Wake up, please? Don't scare me!" Li Jingzhu lost his usual calmness and calmness, and held her face in panic, trying to wake her up. However, the only one who responded to her was Endless silence and despair.

The dark guards squeezed out the accumulated water in Cen Zhu's belly, and one of them said concisely: "Light a fire, keep warm!" The other three went to pick up branches separately.

"Boss, what about these brats? What to do with them?"

"Keep that one, blast away the rest!"

When the man in black grabbed the boy in the blue scarf by the neck, picked him up like a chicken, and didn't know where he was going, he finally realized what kind of disaster he had caused, and unprecedented fear occupied his mind , he didn't care about his bleeding nose, and cried to everyone who could ask for help, including the red scarf boy who had previously threatened to cut him off.

However, no one dared to stand up and say a word for him.

Li Jingchen hugged Cen Zhu, pressed his face close to hers, calling her name over and over again, "Cen Zhu, please, don't scare me, don't be so cruel to me, I found you?" Nian, you? Don't do this to me again, Hua Qing!"

Hot tears fell drop by drop on that person's face. Sadness, despair, grievance, guilt...it's hard to describe her feelings at the moment.

The bonfire was set up. Cen Zhuo was too cold, so he warmed it directly with the fire. Too much force may easily hurt his body. The dark guard suggested warming it up slowly in a gentle way.Li Jingchen regained his composure, and quickly began to untie his knots.

The hidden guards exchanged glances with each other in astonishment, then turned their backs one after another, quickly spread around, and guarded all directions for her.

Their duty is only to protect the safety of the Crown Princess, and to follow His Highness's command unconditionally.Anything beyond the scope of their duties has nothing to do with them. This is the principle that all those who join the Eastern Palace must adhere to.

Li Jingchen opened the skirt in front of him, removed the last piece of clothing, and slowly fell on the frozen body, shivering from the coldness all over his body.

cold, so cold.Is it colder under the water?

Fool, you? Why do you want to jump in, you? You know, once you are dead, what is the use of my wish?

Cen Zhu still can't recall how he was rescued from the cold pool, and how he was separated from Li Jingzhu.She had a fever intermittently for five days and five nights, and when she woke up, she was lying alone in a farmyard hundreds of miles away from Piyang County.

Although the hostess of the farmyard took good care of her, every day there was a man in black who had nothing to do and stayed on the beam for a whole day, as if he was deliberately protecting her safety.But the bottom of her heart still seemed to be hollowed out by someone, floating around with nothing to rely on.

She knew that Li Jingzhu left alone, there must be her reasons, maybe something important happened in the court? Maybe it was to prevent people from discovering that she was with an irrelevant "man".

In short, since she has already left here? There is no need for her to stay.

As for the lost peony jade pendant, it was the cause of all events, and in the end, just like its whereabouts, it left a broken ending.Perhaps, after all, they lacked a little fate.

After lying on the sickbed for another two days, she packed up her clothes and set off on the road.It was useless for the owner of the farmer to try to persuade her to stay, so she insisted on leaving, and said to Master Liang: "You? , he nodded his head towards Cen Zhu, and with a real "whoosh", he jumped out of the window and flew away.

Cen Zhuo rode lightly on the road alone, and arrived at the nearest Wuyang County in less than a day.She didn't go into the city right away, but went to the Luoyan River outside the city, got off her horse, looked at the water surface that was reddened by the afterglow of the setting sun, and was silently dazed.

There is a sandbar in the middle of the river, on which several sharp-billed gulls perch, share their dinner, and prepare for the coming of night in advance.

I remember that when she came here, she and Li Jingchen camped on the beach of Luoyan River overnight because they missed the time to close the city gate.

What about Li Jingchen's menstruation that day? He just got clean, and took advantage of the night to take a bath in the river quietly.She cheekily followed along under the pretext of protecting her.

The water in the river is very clear, and the deepest part only reaches the waist and abdomen of the person. Both of them entered the water wearing bellybands and underwear. Just try to lean together, back to back only showing two heads.

The moonlight that night was very bright, casting it on the river was enough to see the subtle expressions of people two arms away.When Cen Zhu turned his head quietly, he saw that the other party also turned around vigilantly, hugging his chest and shrinking his neck, with a defensive posture that strangers should not approach, Cen Zhu made a "cut" in his heart, and deliberately turned his face to her .

In fact, she really wanted to go over and play tricks on Li Jingchen, after all, the orphans and widows soaked together in the mandarin duck bath before the sand, such a beautiful scene simply existed naturally for "committing crimes".

But she considered the other party's ability to bear it, and felt pity for her newly recovered body, so she suppressed the thought that was just around the corner, but did not put it into action.It's just that she didn't act, but the other party took action.

When she saw Li Jingzhu staring straight at her back, his eyes widened to the point where he couldn't get any bigger, showing a frightened expression, the whole person stood frozen in the water as if he had been immobilized.

It can only be said that a person who doesn't often make jokes made a joke? Come on, the degree of fidelity is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.Cen Zhu suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if someone was blowing wind on her neck.

Suddenly, the person on the other side let out an "ah" without warning.

She was startled, and she also yelled "ah", and while yelling "Mom", she rushed towards the opposite side in panic.Li Jingchen was brought into the water and submerged for a while, finally surfaced, seeing her clinging to him, frightened out of his wits, suddenly his shoulders shook, and he let out a muffled suffocated laugh.

Time stopped for two seconds.

Cen Zhu realized that he had been tricked, and he was so angry that he was stunned, tears were hanging on his eyelashes and trembling, he stared at her angrily and in astonishment, strangled her tightly and refused to let go.

Now it was Li Jingchen's turn to be sad, because she found that Cen Zhuo's body under the water was naked, his bellyband and panties were gone, and his palms were moist and smooth when touched.

"You?...without clothes?" She was very nervous.

"Nonsense, who is still wearing clothes while taking a bath?" Cen Zhuo still had a frightened grievance on his face, and he also disliked making up the knife: "It's only you?"

Li Jingchen was speechless, he twisted his body, trying to escape from her shackles, but the octopus wrapped his arms even tighter.Completely ignoring the ambiguous distance between the two of them who were only separated by a small coat.

"You? Let go."

"No, I'm afraid~"

She fell silent, and responded with a full face of contempt to the coquettish meowing just now.The atmosphere was strangely quiet for a while, Cen Zhu tried to make amends for himself: "Actually, this matter is all up to you? Who told you to scare me for no reason."

The Crown Princess knew that she was in the wrong, and she didn't refute, "Then can you let go of your hand a little bit? Otherwise, I will misunderstand you? You are tempting me."

"..."

"If, I'm really tempting you, what would you do?"

"I will kill you without hesitation?"

"why?"

"No why."

"Then what if you seduce me? You? Would you kill yourself without hesitation?"

"It's not possible."

"What if it's possible? For example, when you're drunk..."

"You? If you mention this again, I will kill you now?"

"... Tch, obviously you did something? If you don't let me talk about it, you turned your face on him so quickly."

"You? Say it!"

The bonfire was lit, and Cen Zhu was lying on the beach with his head in his arms. His thoughts were disturbed and he tossed and turned. They were all the bits and pieces of their journey along the way.From the cold face to face at the beginning, the ice and snow melted later.All changes seem to start from the peony seal.

Peony Seal, Peony Seal...why did she lose the Peony Seal?If her peony seal is still there, maybe she won't leave!

"...If there is a person in this world who can help you achieve your dream that was originally out of reach, what would you do?"

An unattainable dream?By the way, an unattainable dream.

She sat up suddenly as if awakened, mounted the horse, and galloped quickly into the night.
