With such a creepy smile, Xu Nuan felt very flustered, and asked, "Yin Ruoyue, why are you here?"

"Could it be that the princess is protecting Zhou Xia?"

Although the words were so cold and ruthless, Yin Ruoyue did not let go of Xu Nuan's hand, instead she shifted her gaze to Zhou Xia and said:

"Foreign ministers are not allowed to stay in the palace for a long time, and the gate of the palace will be closed soon. General Zhou will not leave?"

Zhou Xia's eyes met Xu Nuan's, and he said cryptically, "I hope the princess will think more about what I said."

Xu Nuan nodded. Seeing Zhou Xia salute and leave, she looked sideways at Yin Ruoyue with a livid face and asked:

"Everyone's family is gone, why don't you let go?"

It's fine on the wrist, I'm afraid it's going to get a big bruise again.

As soon as the words fell, Yin Ruoyue let go of her hand and walked forward.

Xu Nuan stretched out her hand and rubbed her wrist, because her ankle still hurt so badly, she had to walk slowly.

There was no one in the long palace road at this time, the wind was blowing unimpeded in this palace road, Xu Nuan stretched out his hand to support the palace wall, lowered his head to avoid the gusts of cold wind blowing in front of him.

Suddenly a figure blocked the way in front of Xu Nuan, and she dropped the cloak on her body. Yin Ruoyue stretched out her hand to support Xu Nuan, and said coldly:

"Go any further and your legs will be left with old ailments."

"Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Xu Nuan was hesitant at first, but there were no other palace people in the palace, so it would not be a problem for him to procrastinate like this.

She had no choice but to climb up Yin Ruoyue's back carefully, and whispered:

"If you can't bear it, let me down."

However, Yin Ruoyue seemed to be suffocated and did not speak, the wind was getting stronger, Xu Nuan stretched out her hand to wrap Yin Ruoyue's cloak around Yin Ruoyue and did not speak again.

Except for the howling wind, the rest can no longer be heard.

After walking for a long time, Xu Nuan also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the gate of Li Palace in front of him, and was about to say let him go.

Yin Ruoyue said in a low voice: "Why didn't the princess explain?"

"Explain what?" Xu Nuan didn't respond for a moment.

"The princess is in better health, so she hurried into the palace to have a private meeting with Zhou Xia?"

While talking, Yin Ruoyue put down Xu Nuan suddenly, and looked at Xu Nuan with aggrieved eyes.

Xu Nuan looked at Yin Ruoyue's appearance in a daze, and suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason, so she suppressed a smile and replied:

"Are you still wronged?"

"No matter what, I should be angry and wronged."

Can't help but wonder how this Yin Ruoyue was cold and ruthless when he was fierce, but now he is so tender and tender, it's really hard to guess.

"Besides, we are still in the Cold War. Do you care who I have a private meeting with when you have time?"

Xu Nuanke still remembered that Yin Ruoyue hadn't visited her for several days.

At that time, the maid by the palace gate hurried over

, Yin Ruoyue secretly withdrew her hand and said:

"Princess's foot is injured, please take care of her."

"Yes."

Xu Nuan was helped into the carriage, Yin Ruoyue stood beside the carriage and only told the driver to drive carefully.

After the carriage turned around and drove on the official road of the capital, Xu Nuan lifted the curtain and saw Yin Ruoyue got into another carriage.

When he caught a glimpse of the dragon-shaped decoration of the carriage, Xu Nuan took a few extra glances.

Royal children?

But the carriage is driving farther and farther,

Xu Nuan couldn't see clearly either, so she had to lower the curtain.

Listening to the sound of horseshoes trampling, Xu Nuan didn't understand why he came here to attend the palace banquet.

Obviously, he is not a person who likes to be lively.

When the carriage staggered to the other courtyard, Xu Nuan was already very sleepy.

However, the ankle hurts badly, when I went to the back room to take off my shoes and socks, I saw that the ankle was terribly swollen.

After a simple wash, when it was almost time, Xu Nuan asked the maid to prepare the ointment and left.

After the medicine was applied to the ankle, the pain seemed to be relieved a lot, and Xu Nuan didn't dare to move while lying down.

The wind was blowing outside the window, and the rustling of leaves could be heard outside, and the candles were more than half burned.

Although the charcoal basin in the house was still burning, Xu Nuan still felt cold hands and feet, thinking about who was the carriage that picked up Yin Ruoyue just now.

Five Sage Kings?

Or other royal relatives?

Bringing down King Fu is only the first step, and Yin Ruoyue must have other plans to dismantle the power of the imperial family of the Shogunate step by step.

Tossing and turning, Xu Nuan slowly closed his eyes, feeling drowsy gradually.

When he was half asleep and half awake, Xu Nuan woke up uncomfortably because of the sudden pain in his ankle.

I saw Yin Ruoyue sitting sideways on one side, the room was filled with a strong smell of ointment, and her ankle was gently rubbed by her.

The strength is not heavy, but Xu Nuan is a little afraid of others touching her feet, so she is extra sensitive.

Looking quietly, Yin Ruoyue's eyes were focused, as if she didn't realize that Xu Nuan had woken up at all.

Holding the quilt in her palm, Xu Nuan whispered, "Aren't you afraid of scaring people when you come here in the middle of the night?"

Yin Ruoyue stopped her hands, but did not turn her head to look at Xu Nuan, but continued to rub her hands and replied:

"There is no one else in this room except the princess. Tomorrow, these lazy maids will be punished."

"It's none of their business, I let them not have to guard."

The sole of her foot was suddenly touched lightly by Yin Ruoyue, Xu Nuan flinched in shock.

Yin Ruoyue then turned her head and hurriedly asked, "Did it hurt you?"

"No." Xu Nuan said with some embarrassment: "It's just a little itchy."

"The princess is ticklish?"

Yin Ruoyue looked at it in surprise, and gently touched her ankle with her palm and said:

"The ankle should be kneaded to reduce the swelling faster. The princess's physique is too poor, and she will definitely not be able to go to the ground within half a month."

Xu Nuan looked sideways at Yin Ruoyue slightly and asked, "Didn't the gate of the palace close early?"

"I have a token, so it's more convenient."

When Yin Ruoyue stopped, Xu Nuan quickly moved her feet back to the bed and said:

"It's not early, you should go back to sleep earlier."

Yin Ruoyue was washing and collecting in the sink beside her, holding a handkerchief to wipe, then she turned around and sat aside.

With a serious expression, but he didn't reply a word, Xu Nuan felt uncomfortable being looked at, so he asked:

"What...why are you looking at me like that?"

"The foreign enemies in the southwest have been suppressed. This time Zhou Xia made great achievements in battle. It is imminent to return to the capital to get married. What is the princess thinking?"

Yin Ruoyue said with a blank face, gently pressing the quilt with her hands, her eyes never meeting Xu Nuan's.

Xu Nuan responded: "Did you overhear my conversation with Zhou Xia in the plum garden?"

"Eavesdropping?" Yin Ruoyue looked at the candle and said:

"So that should be the case."

"What really happened?"

"Recently, it has been reported in the palace that Princess Yulu has a close relationship with General Zhou Xia, and the two hit it off."

Yin Ruoyue turned her head to look at Xu Nuan, with her face turned away from the candlelight, making her feel very depressed.

"The emperor originally intended to marry the Zhou family, and this rumor has obvious intentions." Xu Nuan said according to the thoughts in his heart.

"I thought it was just a rumor, and I didn't want to see the princess meeting Zhou Xia privately tonight."

The words stopped suddenly, Yin Ruoyue leaned over and approached, holding Xu Nuan's face in both hands, kissed Xu Nuan's lips lightly and said in a low voice:

"I'm really angry."

"Especially when I saw that the princess didn't mind being touched and supported by Zhou Xia, I really wanted to kill Zhou Xia immediately."

Yin Ruoyue moved a little away, stroking Xu Nuan's lips with her fingertips, her eyes were full of confusion, and her brows were furrowed.

"Why hasn't the princess explained to Yue'er until now?"

The breath falling on her cheek was so hot that Xu Nuan looked at Yin Ruoyue in a daze, she really couldn't tell her that she and Zhou Xia were in love and wanted to marry Zhou Xia.

Once you say that, you will really reject her severely, and it is very likely that you will never look back.

But that's the only way to be reasonable, Yin Ruoyue will destroy Muguo sooner or later, so it's better for him to cut himself off from her completely.

Xu Nuan stretched out her hand to pull Yin Ruoyue's drooping hair behind her ears and said softly, "Yue'er, you are only eighteen, maybe there is something wrong with your senses, ordinary women will marry and have children even if they are so close to each other."

"Marry and have children?" Yin Ruoyue laughed suddenly, but her eyes became darker and she said: "Princess, are you joking with Yue'er?"

"Does the princess think that Zhou Xia really wants to marry you?"

Yin Ruoyue got up and stood aside, knocked over the basin beside her with her hand, and said with a livid face:

"What's so good about Xia Zhou?"

"Just because Zhou Xia said a few sweet words in the plum garden, does the princess take it seriously?"

Xu Nuan never thought that Yin Ruoyue would be so angry. She stretched out her hands to support her body, and saw Yin Ruoyue angrily tearing off Shawei, sitting on the side, holding Xu Nuan tightly with her arms and whispering: "I don't understand, the princess knows that Zhou Yuan will agree. Zhou Xia's marriage to the sick and weak princess is only for the purpose of stabilizing power."

"Plus, Zhou Xia is a general and has to fight abroad for many years. The princess is not in good health. Zhou Xia has no time to take care of the princess."

Xu Nuan carefully raised her hand to embrace Yin Ruoyue, her lips were about to part, but she didn't know what to say.

Yin Ruoyue leaned her head and kissed Xu Nuan, her eyes were slightly red as she said, "Princess Mingming said that she would not like others, so I forbid you to agree to Zhou Xia's marriage contract."

Even though he knew that Yin Ruoyue's emotions could change quickly, seeing Yin Ruoyue's thoughtfulness at times and losing control of his emotions at times, Xu Nuan felt sorry for her.

"I don't understand either." Xu Nuan stretched out his hand and patted Yin Ruoyue's back, and said softly: "Let's not say that my marriage with Zhou Xia was hoped by the emperor and Zhou Yuan's party. Responsibility for the Princess of the Shogunate."

"It's about the problem between me and you. I don't understand what you are thinking, and you obviously don't trust me completely, so the quarrel between us is unavoidable."

Xu Nuan continued in a calm tone: "You know that there must be conflicts between Miemu Kingdom and me, but you still haven't stopped, and I don't blame you for that, after all, I can understand your blood feud with hatred in your body and mind. "

"But take me out of the palace and let me recuperate in this other courtyard, do you really have no other intentions?"

Why did the emperor never call him back even though he had already recovered half of it?

There was also Yin Ruoyue's questioning and suspicion last time. Thinking of the maids and servants arranged beside her, Xu Nuan had to suspect that Yin Ruoyue was afraid that she would reveal the news, so this other courtyard was like a prison.

Yin Ruoyue looked at Xu Nuan in surprise, and replied slowly, "I admit that I have selfish intentions, but I never wanted to restrict the princess's freedom."

Selfishness?If it was purely selfish, Yin Ruoyue would not have answered so slowly.

Unless Yin Ruoyue can't tell, or she chooses to hide it from herself.

Xu Nuan no longer wanted to think about the possibilities, so she let go of her weary hand, stretched out her hand and said, "Zhou Xia and I are innocent, and the marriage contract is just a rumor. Xia Laiwang, this rumor must be intentional."

"Then it was Zhou Xia who pestered the princess in the plum garden last night?" Hearing these words, Yin Ruoyue seemed relieved suddenly, and asked closely.

"I have a headache and I don't want to talk to you anymore." Xu Nuan didn't have the patience to deal with Yin Ruoyue's questioning any longer, and simply nestled in the quilt and turned her back to her.

Unexpectedly, Yin Ruoyue embraced Xu Nuan through the quilt, pestering her:

"The princess is so talkative, so Zhou Xia must be entangled with the princess, so I should let Zhou Xia get away from the capital as far as possible?"

"Please stay away from me, too?"

Having never heard Yin Ruoyue speak, Xu Nuan still felt strange, not expecting Yin Ruoyue to sneak into the quilt.

Xu Nuan lifted the quilt, and Yin Ruoyue approached her and said flatteringly, "It's not bad."

"If I'm too far away from the princess, I won't be able to protect the princess. Maybe if I'm not careful, the princess will be taken away by others."

Unable to bear Yin Ruoyue's clinginess, Xu Nuan had no choice but to push away Yin Ruoyue's approaching face and said with disgust:

"Yin Ruoyue, you stay away from me, and I can't be safer."

Xu Nuan couldn't help thinking, could it be that he indulged Yin Ruoyue too much?

Sure enough, she is so easy to talk, that Yin Ruoyue is getting more and more aggressive. She used to be a stealthy kiss, but now she is so blatant.
