Reborn Princess

The two of them rolled down the mountain hugging each other. Shen Xilan stretched out his hand to grab something, but his hands were cut by leaves and branches, and finally he grabbed a vine.

Looking at Zhao Ruyun on his body, Shen Lilan went to pat her back but felt a damp heat on his palm. Shen Lilan looked at his palm, which was glaringly red. She was shot by an arrow.

Shen Lilan supported her to stand up. "Zhao Ruyun? Zhao Ruyun?" she called her.

"I'm not dead yet, stop shaking me. If you shake me again I will really die." Zhao Ruyun said.

"You were shot by an arrow." Shen Lilan helped her up.

"Where is this?" Zhao Ruyun asked.

"We rolled down the mountain in the forest at the back." Shen Lilan said.

"Come on, I'll help you up." Shen Lilan helped Zhao Ruyun up.

The terrain of the mountain behind was precipitous and the slope was very steep. The two of them supported each other as they climbed up. Zhao Ruyun's breathing became weaker and weaker.

Shen Lilan put her down and patted her face, "Zhao Ruyun, wake up, don't sleep."

Zhao Ruyun opened her eyes and looked at her with a smile, "Jin Ning, you go first. I can't walk anymore."

Now we don’t know whether those hidden killers will come looking for us.

Shen Lilan looked at her pale face that was still forcing a smile, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

The sky was almost dark and the sun was setting.

"You're the second one."

"What?" Zhao Ruyun didn't understand what she said.

Besides Zhou Cechen, he was the second person to take the blame for her.

"You can't die. I won't let anything happen to you." Shen Yanlan carried Zhao Ruyun on his back. "Hold me, I'll take you away."

Zhao Ruyun pressed her face against Shen Lilan's back in a daze.

Lying on Shen Lilan's back, Zhao Ruyun shed a few tears and felt a little painful.

"What are you doing? Let me go...let me down."

Shen Lilan carried her on his back and walked forward. "You can't even speak clearly, how can I leave you behind?"

If others protect her with their lives, she can also return her life, but now she cherishes her own life, so no one can die.

"You really are..." Zhao Ruyun couldn't think of what to say, and finally let out a sigh.

"Don't sleep, talk to me." Shen Lilan suddenly spoke.

"My life is precious, I can't bear to sleep."

Shen Lilan walked forward step by step, panting, hoping to go faster and faster.

"Jin Ning, I really envy you."

"Envy me?"

Zhao Ruyun: "I envy you and your family's well-being."

Shen Xilan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She was indeed happy with Zhao Ruyun.

"Then you must live well and earn your own happiness." Although Shen Lilan said this to comfort her, he knew in his heart that the marriage between the Zhao family and the prince was a knot that could not be avoided or untied.

"Really?" Zhao Ruyun was slightly distracted.

"Of course," she replied.

An hour later, the little guard adopted by Zhao Ruyun found Shen Xilan in the forest, carrying Zhao Ruyun on her back.

Zhao Ruyun has fainted.

Zhou Cechen was trying a case in the imperial prison. When he heard the news that Shen Xilan was in trouble, he rode his horse to Jing'an Temple.

At dusk, Zhou Cechen spurred his horse and whipped it, his shadow stretched out and moved rapidly.

When they arrived at Jing'an Temple, Shen Xilan had already been carried down the mountain by Qiushi.

Zhou Cechen untied his cloak and wrapped Shen Lilan, then he took Shen Lilan and carried her into the carriage.

Looking at Shen Lilan in his arms, whose hair was disheveled, clothes were stained with mud, and sleeves were torn, Zhou Cechen's eyes flashed with anger and then heartache.

He bent his fingers and gently stroked Shen Yanlan's face. There was a bloodstain on it, which must have been scratched by some leaves or branches.

Zhou Cechen didn't dare to touch her wound. Girls all care about their faces, and his Fu Fu was the same. She must not be left with scars.

Shen Lilan was dreaming.

In her dream, she stood in front of the waterfall in Jing'an Temple, watching Zhou Cechen walking towards her with a smile, and in an instant the world shook.

Arrows shot towards Zhou Cechen from all directions.

Shen Xilan stood there, unable to move. She wanted to shout but no sound came out. She wanted to run to pull him but her heavy legs could not move.

She could only watch him fall off the cliff. In an instant, the waterfall rushed down, sweeping away and swallowing the man who fell.

“No! No!” Shen Lilan suddenly opened his eyes and gasped.

"Fu Fu, Fu Fu." Zhou Cechen's voice sounded in her ears, like the whisper of a spring breeze.

"But did you have a nightmare? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" he asked.

Shen Lilan's voice was dry. "Water." she said.

Zhou Cechen immediately poured her some water.

Shen Lilan got up from the bed, hugged Zhou Cechen and inhaled the scent from his body.

"Luckily it was a dream."

"What did you dream about?" he asked.

"You fell off a cliff."

Zhou Cechen gently pinched the back of Shen Lilan's neck and pressed her into his arms. "Dreams are the opposite of reality."

Shen Xinglan just felt that the dream was too real. The feeling of helplessness was just like in his previous life. He was shot by an arrow and fell off his horse, and he was powerless to do anything.

"Who did it today?"

Zhou Cechen's eyes were dark. "That arrow does not belong to any army or any force known so far."

"It looks like it was made by the iron shop itself. I have sent someone to check it out."

Another ironware shop.

Shen Xilan frowned. If she was not mistaken, it seemed that most of the arrows were shot at her face.

An arrow grazed her face and cut off a few strands of her hair.

Shen Lilan reached out to touch his face.

"Don't worry, we've applied the medicine, so there won't be any scars." Zhou Cechen said.

Shen Lilan looked at Zhou Cechen: "That person is jealous of my beauty."

"What?" Zhou Cechen didn't understand.

"His arrows were all aimed at my face."

Zhou Cechen touched the wound on Shen Lilan's face. "This was not scratched by leaves or branches, but by an arrow."

"Yes."

Zhou Cechen clenched his fists. "So vicious."

"It must be that some young lady who likes you is jealous of me." Shen Lilan said.

Zhou Cechen stared at Shen Xilan for a long time, making her a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Shen Lilan asked tentatively.

"I've never been good with any woman before." Except you.

Hearing this, Shen Lilan curled his lips and smiled.

"Are you explaining this to me?"

"Yes."

Shen Lilan: "That happens, I have never been on good terms with other men."

After hearing Shen Xilan's words, Zhou Cechen was stunned for a moment and then curled his lips into a faint smile.

"Fu Fu, I don't care about these. I just know that you are mine now, that's enough."

A sour feeling welled up in Shen Lilan's nose. Yes, he never cared about these things. He would fight for what he wanted.

Fortunately, he fought for it.

"How is Zhao Ruyun now?" Shen Lilan asked.

"He was sent back to the Zhao residence. His situation is still unknown."

Shen Lilan stood up. She had to go to Zhao's house.

Zhou Cechen supported her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Zhao Ruyun blocked an arrow for me, I owe her my life."

At this time, there was a knock on the door. "Your Majesty, someone from the Zhao residence reported that Miss Zhao is out of danger. Please don't worry."

Shen Yanlan sat on the bed in a daze.

"How long have I slept?"

"One day and one night."

For a day and a night, Shen Lilan couldn't wake up. Zhou Cechen sat beside her bed and watched her with a frown on her face and tears in her eyes. Zhou Cechen didn't know how to make her less miserable.
