Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

Yuejie walked back and forth at the palace gate, and the grooms had fallen asleep leaning against the carriage door.

My master has not returned yet.

Could something have happened?

Yueji frowned, feeling uneasy in her heart.

She patted her head and thought angrily.

She shouldn't have handed over her master to His Highness the Fifth Prince.

Can……

The Fifth Highness is the prince, and she has to obey his orders.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh heavily, and still walked back and forth at the palace gate.

Just because the wind at night was too cold and too strong, she did not dare to get on the carriage, for fear that she would miss her master's return.

So I could only stay by the carriage.

After waiting for nearly two hours, Yue Qinghe's guards finally arrived on horseback.

"Miss Rose." Zhong Shui got off his horse when he arrived at the palace gate and said directly: "The princess drank the wine to relieve the decoction and has sobered up. Tonight is the lantern festival in Kyoto City. Your Highness and the princess will go shopping with the lanterns. Please also invite Rose. Don’t wait any longer, girl, you can go back to the palace first.”

Hearing this, Yueji's eyes widened, a little unbelievable, "Ah, you mean, His Highness the Fifth took my master to the lantern festival?"

"Yes."

"But my master..."

Before Yue Ji could finish speaking, Zhong Shui interrupted: "His Highness asked you to return to the palace first."

Rose: "..."

With the selfless appearance of the former guard, Yue Ji did not dare to say anything, thinking that no matter what her master said, she was the biological sister of their highness.

it should be no problem……

With an uneasy heart, Yue Ji knew that her status was humble and she was not qualified to ask questions, and she should not question her master's behavior, so she did not dare to say any more.

Then he saluted Zhongshui, "In this case, I would like to thank this master for coming to inform me, and I will return to the palace first."

I hope His Highness the Fifth Prince can safely send the princess to the palace.

Of course, she didn't dare to say this clearly, so she could only look at Zhong Shui deeply, turned around, walked to the carriage, woke up the groom, and asked the groom to take her back to the palace.

Zhong Shui watched the carriage enter the palace gate, then turned around and headed towards the city.

……

When Qingchen's whole body fell rapidly, she couldn't suppress her panic and let out a piercing scream.

"what……"

It was not smashed into a pulp as I imagined, but with a 'thump'.

Her whole body sank into the water, and water pressure surged from all directions, filling her mouth and nose with water.

Qingchen doesn't know the nature of water, and his body instinctively wants to struggle to get up.

But the water in the pool was too deep, and her feet couldn't touch the ground, and she couldn't put her head out of the water. The more she struggled, the more she sank.

She thought her life was really going to be decided here, when her neck was suddenly wrapped around by a strong arm, and her body was dragged back.

It didn't take long for her to be dragged to the surface.

When she could feel the air in her mouth and nose, she tried to gasp for air, but she choked out a lot of water.

Yue Qinghe dragged Qingchen to the shore and looked at the man in front of him who was slumped on the ground and coughing violently.

He frowned and wanted to reach out and pat her back to calm her down.

Through the faint moonlight, he saw that her whole body was soaked, and her brocade clothes clung tightly to her body, outlining her exquisite figure.

His eyes dimmed, and he took back his hand that was frozen in mid-air.

"Are you feeling better?" His deep voice was as soft as the wind.

After Qingchen coughed up all the water in his mouth, he felt much better.

The cold wind blew at night, and she shivered and sneezed, "I'm fine..."

She looked back at the still rippling pool, and then at the man standing next to her.

I saw that he was just as wet as myself, and his long black hair hung on his chest, but his face was still so handsome, unaffected at all.

"How did the emperor know that there is a pool under the cliff?" Has he been here before?

"I heard the sound of water." He answered truthfully, observing the surrounding environment.

There are trees all around, and the night is dark. The chance of finding a way back is slim now, so we can only find a place to rest for the night.

I will try to contact Aoki tomorrow...

Thinking of this, Yue Qinghe's eyes fell on Qingchen again, "Can you get up and walk on your own?"

"I can do it." The two jumped off the cliff. The assassins must have thought they were dead.

Qingchen, who thought he had saved a small life, naturally got up and followed Yue Qinghe.

After all, if she didn't follow Yue Qinghe, it was so dark here. If Yue Qinghe wanted to leave her here alone, she would be scared to death.

……

On the edge of the cliff, the female assassin watched the two people jump off the cliff. The cliff was bottomless and the wind was cold below.

She frowned, wondering whether to continue looking for someone.

She couldn't see anyone when she was alive, and she couldn't see her body after death, so it was difficult for her to explain to her employer.

One of the men in black came up from behind and asked, "Are you going to send someone down to investigate?"

The female assassin pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "No need, bring the matter back to the employer truthfully, let's go!"

Then the group of people immediately retreated.

……

Qingchen followed Yue Qinghe for a long walk in the jungle.

She was soaked all over and the cold hit her. She sneezed all the way and felt pain in her head.

But she didn't dare to say it. She believed him, so she followed him without saying a word.

After all, he saved his life again.

Moreover, if she hadn't acted impulsively tonight, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

In the final analysis, it was his own stupidity that caused him trouble.

Thinking of this, Qingchen felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

At this time, Yue Qinghe didn't think much about it.

The clothes on both of them are wet. If they don't find a place to change out of their wet clothes as soon as possible, the people behind them may catch the cold...

Thinking of this, he accelerated his pace even more.

Qingchen could no longer keep up with him. He was tall and had long legs.

When he took one step, she had to take several steps to catch up with him, but now her head was very dizzy and her vision was gradually blurring.

so cold...

really cold...

The soaked clothes clung to his skin, and the cold wind blew through at night, and the biting coldness seemed to have penetrated his body.

The next second, she fell to the ground and could no longer walk.

She couldn't make a sound to call Yue Qinghe, and her consciousness was gradually swallowed up...

Yue Qinghe didn't hear the footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he found that the person behind him had fallen ten meters away from him.

If you don't look back...

Yue Qinghe hurriedly went back to help her up, "Yue Qingchen, wake up..."

He gently slapped her face twice, and found that her face was very hot, so he moved his big hand to her forehead.

The moment he touched her forehead, there was a burning sensation in his palm.

This is terrible. I didn't expect that what I was worried about would happen so quickly.

Yue Qingchen's body was too weak this time, and her clothes were wet and she couldn't bear the cold wind for half an hour.

Yue Qinghe frowned and looked up, seeing a cave right in front of him.

He picked up Qing Chen and walked towards the cave.
