On the second day after Lin Yan left, it was just dark.

Man'er came in from the outside, walked gently to the inside, and looked at Xia Lan who was holding a scroll in her hand, but stared out the window for a long time.

"My lord, dinner is ready, you can eat now"

After a while, Xia Lan just turned around slowly, "Where is Tonger?"

"The little princess is studying in the study, and Qing Ning has gone to treat the little princess to dinner"

Xia Lan nodded slightly, "Hasn't Yan'er returned home yet? It's getting so late."

Man'er was slightly taken aback, paused for a moment, and then reminded in a low voice, "Wangfei, the second son, she has already gone to Beijing yesterday."

Hearing this, Xia Lan was in a daze for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, "Look at my memory, let's eat."

in the dining room

For so many years, these two days were the quietest time.

Xia Lan has a gentle and quiet temperament, and although Leng Yantong is still young and has a lot more escape than her mother's temperament in her bones, the woman's self-cultivation and character have perfectly inherited her mother.

She behaves politely on weekdays, but only when she is with Lin Yan, does she behave like a child of her age, acting coquettishly.

But now that Lin Yan is not here, this Leng Yantong is also very well-behaved and polite, and only eats obediently.

"Why doesn't mother eat?" Leng Yantong suddenly looked up at Xia Lan and asked.

Xia Lan held a chopstick and put a piece of green vegetable into the bowl in front of her, "Mother is not hungry, let Tonger eat."

Hearing this, Leng Yantong couldn't help but frowned slightly, "How can you not be hungry? My brother said, you must eat well. Tonger wants it, and mother wants it too. I can't let mother starve and lose weight."

Xia Lan was slightly taken aback, "Did my brother tell Tonger these words? When did my brother tell Tonger?"

"Just yesterday morning, my mother went to make cakes for my brother, and my brother told me that I should eat well, sleep well, study hard every day, and take good care of my mother, so that my mother can also eat well and eat well. Going to sleep, we are still hooking up."

Looking at Leng Yantong with a serious face, Xia Lan could almost imagine the scene of the two people's vowed agreement yesterday, and then a smile crept up the corners of her brows and eyes unconsciously.

"Where did Tonger read today?" At the end, Xia Lan put a vegetable into her mouth.

"Well, I read five pages today." Leng Yantong frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with her performance today.

Xia Lan naturally understood why it was so, "Can you figure out the meaning of every sentence?".

Leng Yantong nodded, "Well, both my mother and my brother said that you must read without looking for a deep understanding, and swallow the dates wholeheartedly."

"That's good"

After dinner and bath, Leng Yantong fell asleep not long after, probably because she was really tired from studying too hard today.

Xia Lan was wearing only an undershirt, leaning against the head of the bed, looking at Leng Yantong who had fallen asleep, holding a round fan in her hand to keep her cool, but even so, the small person's forehead still appeared Some fine sweat.

The summer is scorching hot, especially at night, it really is not deceiving at all.

He took out the handkerchief and carefully wiped it off, but when Ke retracted his hand, looking at the white handkerchief, he suddenly remembered that he had put the personal handkerchief and snacks in the bag yesterday morning.

I don't know if Yan'er has noticed, or used that veil...

Ever since Lin Yan inherited the throne and the hundred thousand cavalry, perhaps because of staying with those men for a long time, some of his behaviors have become somewhat masculine.

For example, several times, Xia Lan saw that after drinking water, using pastries, or sweating, Yan'er directly raised his sleeves, wiped his mouth, and went to do other things.

For this reason, Xia Lan also reminded Lin Yan tactfully, but unexpectedly, she answered like that.

"This man, the commander of one side, will be laughed at by the soldiers if he always carries something like a silk handkerchief with him."

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case, but this made Xia Lan feel more self-blame and distressed.

Therefore, if she was in the mansion, Xia Lan would unconsciously take out a handkerchief and wipe it off carefully when she saw cake crumbs on the corner of Lin Yan's mouth or sweating from practicing martial arts, until Lin Yan moved from the main courtyard to the next door courtyard……

This is away from home, but there are more pairs of eyes looking at it. Thinking about it, it is even more impossible for Yan'er to use it.

Xia Lan sighed helplessly thinking about her unnecessary actions, but halfway through the sigh, her eyes suddenly changed slightly.

This handkerchief is a woman's close-fitting item, Yan'er would not think that...

With the thought, Xia Lan immediately pressed it down again, no, no, others don't know Yan'er's identity, but she herself knows it, and in this case, there will be nothing wrong with the handkerchief...

Today is the fifth day since leaving the palace.

The journey is already over halfway, and there are still about three days' journey away from the capital if we continue to hurry.

Along the way, Lin Yan almost kept on driving day and night, and only spent one night at the post station on the way, and for the rest of the night, he either took a nap in the wild or was on the road.

It was like this the night before, and he didn't stop to rest, but kept on his way.

Therefore, when the sun was rising and the sun was shining on the earth, the eyes that were used to the darkness all night could not even bear the sudden light, which made the sitting horse stagger and almost fell off the horse's back.

"Second Young Master, you have been driving for a whole day and night, you should rest for a while before starting, otherwise your body may not be able to bear it," Mo Yi, who followed closely behind, couldn't help but persuaded.

The night before his departure, the concubine urged him and Mo Er to take good care of the second son, but their second son...except for what the concubine said, no one else would listen to them.

Lin Yan didn't say a word, but let the horse slow down.

Near noon, the sun is at its zenith, which is the time when the sun is at its strongest.

Lin Yan's back was already drenched with sweat, especially Mo Yimo Er and the soldiers in armor behind him.

Lin Yan pulled the reins suddenly, the horse neighed, its front hooves raised, and then it stomped heavily on the road and stopped.

"rest in place"

Before Lin Yan could finish his words, groups of frightened birds suddenly flew out from the right side of the road.

"Be careful! Protect the Second Young Master!"

As soon as Mo Yili drew his sword out of its sheath, dozens of black-clothed men flashed out of the forest in an instant. The steel knife in their hands gleamed coldly in the sun, and they went straight to the leader, Lin Yan.

But Lin Yan is not an ordinary person. When he jumped up from the horse, the sword in his hand had already been unsheathed and pointed at the enemy.

Although Lin Yan learned from famous teachers since he was a child, and practiced in the military camp every day, after all, it was more of a rehearsal, and it was the first time he actually killed someone.

Although he knew in his heart that at such a moment, it is either you or me, but if the sword is really going to cut the opponent's throat or pierce the opponent's chest, Lin Yan still can't do it after all.

But Lin Yan was merciful and merciful, but the enemy would not be soft, the knife was fatal, and soon his arm was cut.

"Second Young Master, be careful!" Li Yi jumped to block Lin Yan behind him, "The other party is not kind, Second Young Master must not be merciful anymore."

Lin Yan frowned suddenly, although he didn't show any mercy, he also avoided hitting the vital point directly.

Although there were twenty or thirty soldiers on the other side, and none of them were weak in martial arts, the hundred soldiers brought out by Lin Yan this time were not vegetarians. Although their martial arts were not as good as them, they were more powerful.

Coupled with the five masters Mo Yi, Mo Er, Xun, Li, and Lin Yan himself, the situation soon turned to Lin Yan's side.

But at this juncture, there was a faint sound of breaking wind in the forest, and the next moment, hundreds of crossbow arrows were seen breaking through the wind.

Lin Yan turned around several times in mid-air and quickly dodged the attack, but was shocked to see a black arrow with a terrifying speed and strength hidden in the dense crossbow bolts, rushing straight away behind the back without anyone noticing. Heart away.

Lin Yan was startled, and he jumped up, and when the arrow was about to touch Li's coat, the sword in his hand was enough to knock the arrow down.But what Lin Yan didn't know was that at the same time that he shot down the arrow, another arrow from the back of his head was coming straight to his heart.

"Second Young Master, be careful!"

But it was too late, the cold arrow pierced directly through the chest.

"puff!"

"Second son!"

"My lord!"

"Yan'er!"

The blood red color in front of her eyes blurred Xia Lan's vision.

Xia Lan sat up in shock, but found that the surroundings were pitch black, and then realized that she was just dreaming.

But her beating heart couldn't calm her down.

Xia Lan got out of bed lightly, lit the lamp, saw that Leng Yantong who was sleeping on the inside was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On the back, the tentacles felt cool, but it was already wet with sweat in the dream.

Xia Lan sat at the table, watching the slightly dancing candlelight, but her brows furrowed more and more unconsciously.

The scene in the dream was too real and terrifying, Xia Lan felt a little breathless as long as he thought about it for a while.

no!Xia Lan stood up suddenly, put on her coat and was about to call someone, but suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside the house.

"Protect the princess and princess!"

After Gan gave an order, the guards of the palace immediately surrounded the room behind him, and Gan led the rest of the hidden guards to deal with the man in black.The opponents are not weak in skill, and their moves are weird. It doesn't look like Yun Mu's martial arts.

Qian and Kun looked at each other, and they already had the answer in their hearts. The person who came was from Nanjing, the enemy country.

After nearly half an hour of the contest, the Pingnan Palace won a complete victory. Even so, dozens of guards were killed or injured, and some of the hidden guards were also injured.

Most of the men in black who came to commit crimes were killed, and two of them were left alive, but they all committed suicide by taking poison, and one or two escaped by chance.

When Qian and Kun were directing people to clean up the bloody mess in the courtyard, Xia Lan suddenly walked out of the room. Qian Kun and the other three hidden guards looked at each other, knowing that the matter could not be concealed.

Xia Lan, who always had a gentle smile on her face, was sitting in front of the couch expressionlessly, while Qian Kun and other five hidden guards were kneeling under her eyelids.

"Princess please forgive me!"

Xia Lan frowned slightly and looked at the few people with their heads down. After a while, "If you don't listen to the order, let's go away."

Several people were horrified when they heard the words, and they all bowed their heads and said, "Princess please forgive me, I am willing to accept any punishment, I just ask the concubine not to drive the subordinates away!".

Although they expected that the princess would be angry once she found out, they didn't expect that there would be no room for change.

As long as Xia Lan closes her eyes now, the scene in her dream will flash before her eyes, making her tremble physically and mentally.No wonder, no wonder she would have such a nightmare, it turned out that all the people who should be protected with her were left in this palace.

The night before leaving, Xia Lan summoned the hermit guards and ordered Qian, Gen, Kan and Dui, who were originally in charge of protecting her, to protect Lin Yan into the capital together with Kun, Li and Xun...

It never occurred to me that these four people stayed, not to mention Kun, who was originally responsible for protecting Lin Yan, was also retained, and only Xun and Li, who were relatively weak in martial arts, were responsible for sending Lin Yan to Beijing!

Xia Lan knew in her heart that this matter must be Yan'er's idea, and they were also ordered to act without control, but, but they could at least tell her... Isn't this putting Yan'er in danger now? !

Seeming to have thought of something suddenly, Xia Lan opened her eyes and looked straight at the leader, "Things can be brought into Beijing."

The night before his departure, after Xia Lan gave the order, he also handed Qian an unsigned letter and a sentence.

"If the little prince is in danger in Beijing, he will hand over this item to the current emperor, but remember not to let the little prince know."
