After rebirth, the regent princess wanted to rebel every day

"not bad."

Jiang Wanyue felt her cheeks getting hot and she turned her head away awkwardly, but the corners of her mouth rose imperceptibly.

Xie Jingce looked at Jiang Wanyue quietly, with tenderness in his eyes. He embraced Jiang Wanyue, and when he saw her cheeks begin to turn red, he chuckled softly.

"This is a mountain outside the capital. The terrain is the reason for this scenery, and it is different in each season." Xie Jingce explained, "If you are in a bad mood in the future, I will bring you here."

Xie Jingce did not call himself "this king", Jiang Wanyue was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

"call out--"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air, and a sharp arrow was approaching the two of them.

Both of them are people with clear eyes and ears. Even though "Jiang Wanyue" has no martial arts foundation, Jiang Wanyue has already adapted to this corpse.

"careful!"

At the critical moment, Xie Jingce quickly hugged Jiang Wanyue, held her in his arms and moved to the side, avoiding the arrow.

But then arrows flew from all directions, and the two had to join the battle to resist the endless stream of sharp arrows.

Xie Jingce saw Jiang Wanyue's skillful and graceful Ye family martial arts moves out of the corner of his eye, and was distracted for a moment.

"Why are you still standing there? Do you want to live?" Jiang Wanyue blocked a few arrows and yelled at Xie Jingce.

It was wide and open everywhere, without any tree trunks to hide from.

Xie Jingce came back to his senses, looked around, then stretched out his right hand to his mouth and whistled. Soon, several secret guards in the same attire appeared and surrounded Xie Jingce and Jiang Wanyue.

The secret guards observed the surroundings vigilantly.

They have been forced to the edge of the lake and will fall if they are not careful.

Xie Jingce said: "Looking at the situation, there should be a lot of people. I will cover you to leave. You go to the palace to inform Li Guanjia. He will know what to do."

Jiang Wanyue panted, frowned when she heard that, and refused: "No!"

Although she didn't have much affection for Xie Jingce, she was unwilling to leave him alone to fight the enemy.

“Jiang Wanyue!” Xie Jingce roared, his eyes red, “I order you to leave here!”

Sharp arrows continued to fly from all around, most of them were blocked by the secret guards, but a few still flew towards the two of them.

In the darkness, a man was wearing all black clothes and a black hat. His face could not be seen clearly. There was a long scar on the base of his left hand holding the bow, which made him look as hideous as a centipede.

He looked at the man and woman by the lake and chuckled, "Today, no one will be able to escape."

As he spoke, he pulled out an arrow from the quiver, strung it, narrowed his eyes, and aimed the arrow at Xie Jingce.

Neither Xie Jingce nor Jiang Wanyue was willing to give in, and some of the secret guards around them were already injured. While the two were arguing, the man shot an arrow and flew towards Xie Jingce.

Jiang Wanyue was the first to notice the sharp arrow flying from behind Xie Jingce. Her face changed drastically and she subconsciously wanted to turn Xie Jingce around to block him. However, the arrow was faster and pierced his right arm when Xie Jingce turned sideways.

Xie Jingce felt a sweet and fishy taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body tilted, he let go of Jiang Wanyue and fell straight into the lake.

"Your Majesty!"

Jiang Wanyue felt her mind go blank in an instant. She didn't care who shot the arrow and jumped towards the place where Xie Jingce fell into the lake.

"Grumpy"

Underwater, Jiang Wanyue held her breath and swam looking for Xie Jingce. Her brows were furrowed, her face full of anxiety, and her heart was suddenly in a mess.

If only he hadn't been hurt.

Jiang Wanyue blamed herself endlessly.

Tears flowed out and melted into the water. Through the mist, Jiang Wanyue seemed to see a vague figure in the depths of the lake. Blood oozed out, staining the lake red as Xie Jingce fell.

Jiang Wanyue didn't dare to speak, and swam towards Xie Jingce holding her breath.

The strange thing is that there is not a trace of silt at the bottom of the lake, but only a thin layer of ash-like substance attached to the stone slabs.

Xie Jingce fell infinitely and landed on the stone slab, splashing a layer of gray. He vaguely saw Jiang Wanyue's figure approaching, and after a while his consciousness became blurred and he fainted.

Jiang Wanyue stopped beside Xie Jingce's body, not knowing how to get Xie Jingce up.

It's totally not enough for her to do it alone.

But if Xie Jingce had not received timely treatment, he would probably have died from excessive blood loss.

Jiang Wanyue began to observe the bottom of the lake. When she came down, she felt something unusual, as if a palace had been built here.

Jiang Wanyue swam towards Xie Jingce's left side. There was a dark area blocking the way ahead, and she didn't believe that there was nothing there.

Jiang Wanyue stretched out her hand to explore, but felt a bunch of vines instead.

Even Xie Jingce didn't bring any sharp weapons when he went out today. How could he cut them off?

Jiang Wanyue glanced at Xie Jingce who was lying unconscious on the ground, then made up her mind and began to pull off the vines with her bare hands.

The bottom of the lake was very dark, and she couldn't tell which parts had thorns and which didn't, so she just dug around with her bare hands.

Until a tingling sensation came from the palm of his hand and blood flowed out from the palm, the blood-stained vines seemed to have gained intelligence and retreated one after another.

Jiang Wanyue paused in pulling the vines, and the blood on the vines followed the movement of the vines, leaving marks on the hard stone slab at her feet, and the stone slab on the ground began to change.

Wherever there was blood, it began to glow golden. Strange lines formed in all directions, gradually forming the shape of deer antlers.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanyue swam to Xie Jingce's side quickly, observing his injuries while being wary of whether the thing formed by the golden light would cause any harm to them.

But she knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, otherwise both of them would die here.

At this moment, Jiang Wanyue saw the shape of deer antlers formed by golden light rising from the stone slab and flying to the place where she had just pulled the vines. That place was no longer blocked by the vines and turned into a stone gate, solemn and majestic.

"Rumble..."

The stone door opened and a white figure emerged from inside.

The person who came was a woman with long black hair tied up high with a white ribbon. She was about 20 or 30 years old. Her facial features were still delicate and she exuded the charm and temperament of a mature woman.

Jiang Wanyue's eyes suddenly widened, as if a thunderclap sounded in her head. She stared at the woman in a daze.

"Mother..." Jiang Wanyue slightly opened her cherry lips and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

She looks so much like her mother, Yao. It's no exaggeration to say that they were carved from the same mold.

But since the Ye family was wiped out, shouldn't my mother have been executed as well? Why is she here?

She had never heard that her mother had twin sisters, so who was this person in front of her?

The man stood at the door and smiled at Jiang Wanyue: "My son, you are finally here."

"boom--"

This time, her head felt like it was exploding, and Jiang Wanyue stood there motionless.

This smile, this voice, this tone...

It's her mother!

Jiang Wanyue's nose felt sore and tears flowed uncontrollably. Her mother was not dead, and she could actually see her mother again.

"Mother!"
