Pour the glass

As the night darkened, Zi Yuan and A Ling came to the steep rock wall at the end of the peach forest.

Ziyuan looked at it with the faint moonlight, and saw many vines hanging naturally from the stone wall. As long as she climbed the vines, she would definitely be able to leave here.

"Aling..." Ziyuan called out to Aling with a smile.

A Ling turned her head in confusion, and before she could respond, Zi Yuan had already pulled up a vine under the stone wall and bound her waist, "What are you doing?"

Ziyuan patted her shoulder, then pointed to the stone wall, "You are my sister's master, let me do this kind of physical work!" After finishing speaking, before Ah Ling nodded or shook her head, she went around to In front of Ah Ling, she tied herself and Ah Ling with vines, "Hook me tight, let's go!"

"Hook..." Ah Ling blushed, these three simple words came from Ziyuan's mouth, but they had another meaning when they fell into Ah Ling's ears.

"Let's go!" Ziyuan stepped on the ground with her toes, took A Ling and flew up, grabbed two vines in the air, and hung them firmly on the stone wall. Ziyuan turned her head slightly and looked at the moonlight below her. Tao Lin felt that it was so beautiful that she couldn't help muttering: "Actually... this is really a nice place."

Ah Ling clasped her arms tightly around Ziyuan, and followed Ziyuan's eyes to see that Mifenhong's peach blossoms were in full bloom under the silver-white moonlight. This place really seemed like a paradise. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't respond. What did Zi Yuan say?

Ziyuan smiled slightly, stepped on the stone wall with her toes, flew a foot above the stone wall, grabbed the vine again, and stabilized the momentum, "Have you ever been afraid?"

A Ling was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "What's the use of being afraid?"

Ziyuan shook her head and smiled, "For some reason, I'm a little scared. After leaving here, I'm really a little scared of things and people outside..."

Ah Ling couldn't understand the meaning of Zi Yuan's words, and said coldly: "I always thought you were a bratty girl who is fearless."

"Heh... I'm afraid a lot now..." Ziyuan turned her face slightly, took a breath, then turned and flew up again, took A Ling up another zhang, and stopped talking.

A Ling subconsciously clenched her arms, and fixedly glanced at the back of Zi Yuan's head, "You...but what do you remember?"

Ziyuan laughed and said: "Yeah, remembering that I promised my sister a lot of things, I also promised you a lot of things, and I promised a lot of things to many people..."

"..."

"Hold on tight, I'm going to use my real skills this time!"

After finishing speaking, Ziyuan and A Ling took off three times in succession, and in a blink of an eye, the top edge of the stone wall was already in sight.

"call--"

Finally, she landed steadily on the top edge of the stone wall with Ah Ling, and Zi Yuan hurriedly untied the vines that tied the waists of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Okay, after leaving Taoyuan, we are going to really enter the world this time." !"

A Ling glanced at Ziyuan thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Indeed, I should go back and see, is there any change in Zhexue?"

"Seeing that you care about my sister so much, I feel relieved." Ziyuan blinked, and looked at the deep forest on the top of the stone wall, "I should go back to Haoling, by the way!" She untied her gourd from her waist and handed it to Ling, "You still have wounds on your body, let you drink all the fairy well water in it."

"Smelly girl, aren't you hurt too?"

"If you can't drink it all, save some for your sister. If she drinks this well water, she will definitely look better and better. By then, she will not only be Lin'an Oiran, maybe even Dayun Oiran!" After Ziyuan finished speaking proudly, she pointed to Shen Lin, "I'm leaving first, take care of yourself!"

"Take care..." A Ling replied lightly, and Ziyuan ran into the deep forest without looking back, and finally disappeared.

A-Ling sighed in disappointment, smiled wryly and said: "You are said to be an idiot, but you are really an idiot. How could Zhexue care about being a big cloud flower queen?" After speaking, A-Ling hung the gourd around his waist and walked in silently. Deep in the forest.

Haoling, Value Hall, a corner of the North Palace.

Ye Lingxi stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the night sky outside the window, the moon was like a hook, it seemed difficult to circle, just like her heart now, empty, always felt that something was missing, aching.

"Princess, Ye Han, don't get too cold." Jin Nu brought the warm robe and put it on Ye Lingxi lightly, sighing deeply, "Xiao Ge went to inquire about the news, and she didn't come back so soon."

Ye Lingxi shook her head and said in a deep voice, "It's because I wasn't prepared, and acted recklessly like this, which hurt him...killed him..."

"Princess..." Jin Nu called out, but didn't know how to comfort her.

Ye Lingxi shook her head again, "Is Shen Yuan still looking for gold hairpins for me?"

Jin Nu nodded and said: "Back to the princess, everything remains the same."

Ye Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Does he suspect that Captain Qi is not on duty at Haoling?"

Jin Nu nodded again and said: "How can there be no suspicion? However, according to the princess's order, the slave girl said that Qi Duwei was looking for gold hairpins outside Haoling for the princess, so he will not be on duty in Haoling for the past few days."

Ye Lingxi frowned, "I'm afraid these lies won't last long. When Cao Boxiao comes back, these two fools will definitely make trouble. By then, Captain Qi will not be around, and the crime will still be placed on him."

Jin Nu sighed, "His Royal Highness has already done her best. If Captain Qi is no longer alive, the safety and anxiety of these crimes will not be so important."

"No, he can't die..." Ye Lingxi turned around and looked at the lonely night sky of Haoling, "At least I haven't promised him to die..."

"Princess……"

"If he is really dead, then I owe him my life, then...the only thing I can do is..." Ye Lingxi lowered her head and said solemnly, "Render Su Zhexue and take care of him for the rest of his life. "

"call--"

The sound of clothes sleeves suddenly sounded on the eaves.

Jin Nu anxiously said: "It must be that Xiaoge came back to inquire about the news!"

Ye Lingxi looked eagerly at the corner of the eaves, hoping to get good news from Yan Ge.

"Your Highness, I'm back!" A blue shadow jumped down from the eaves, and the faint moonlight illuminated her smiling face. It was still that disrespectful smile, and it was still the same warm Qi Ziyuan.

"You..." Ye Lingxi was stunned, only feeling a sourness welling up from her heart, and her eyes were already wet inadvertently.

"If the dignified Princess Chushan shed tears for a little servant like me, it would be too worthless!" Zi Yuan took a step closer to the window, her crescent-like smile still hung on her face, but her eyes were full of surprise. color.

I thought that Princess Chushan's allure was just a smile, but I didn't want Princess Chushan to cry. Apart from my pity, there is also a kind of soul-stirring and poignant beauty.

Ye Lingxi stared at Zi Yuan unblinkingly with her tearful eyes, and for a moment, she forgot to speak.

Ziyuan only felt her cheeks burning hotly, and her heartbeat seemed to speed up irregularly—looking at each other, she seemed to have forgotten who she was and who the owner of those charming eyes was. who?

"Ahem!" Jin Nu coughed dryly twice, gently pushed Ye Lingxi, and glared at Zi Yuan, "You are so bold, you don't even worship the princess, just look at the princess like this, you know it's a big deal. What a great crime you have committed below!"

Ziyuan hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I'm rude, I'm rude, please forgive me, princess!" After saying that, Ziyuan, who came back to her senses, hurriedly cupped her fists and bowed to Ye Lingxi.

"Excuse me!" Ye Lingxi stretched out her hand tremblingly, trying to stop Zi Yuan from saluting, but her fingers touched Zi Yuan's sleeve, and she shrank back in embarrassment, turned her back quickly, and said in a panic, "You are safe!" It's good to be back."

Ziyuan laughed dumbly, nodded and said: "Let Your Highness worry about the little one, the little one is really..." The irregular heartbeat made Ziyuan's mind go blank, and she couldn't think of any polite words at this moment.

"I'm just worried about harming a national talent..." Ye Lingxi hastily corrected a sentence, but the corner of her mouth could not help but smile happily, she calmed herself down, and then continued, "You came back just in time, Tomorrow, it's time for me to attack."

"Trouble?" Zi Yuan was taken aback.

Ye Lingxi nodded and smiled lightly, and turned around, "That's right, tomorrow you can just follow the tide, and you can say whatever I say."

Ziyuan smiled and said: "Since the princess has made all the arrangements, I will do everything according to the princess's plan tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Ziyuan glanced at the sky, "The night is getting dark, the princess should rest early, little one first Retire."

"Okay..." Ye Lingxi nodded slightly, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Slow! I don't understand something."

Ziyuan nodded and said, "Excuse me, princess."

Ye Lingxi thought of Ah Ling last night, the woman who suddenly reported the bad news, "Who is that woman last night?"

Ziyuan blinked and said with a smile: "A friend from the Jianghu," she said, adding, "A friend from the Jianghu who met by fate."

Ye Lingxi pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Fate to meet? Why do you know that there are Gu worms under the stream of Guhong Mountain?"

Ziyuan laughed and said: "It's strange to say, my friend likes to study these bugs..." After finishing speaking, Ziyuan was worried that Ye Lingxi would not be able to resist if she asked any more questions, so she turned against the customer and said, "Say Maybe she was catching Gu worms near the Guhong mountain stream that day, and happened to see us, so she showed up to save us."

"Oh?" Ye Lingxi looked at Zi Yuan in bewilderment, trying to tell the truth from Zi Yuan's smiling eyes.

Ziyuan nodded, and just looked at Ye Lingxi frankly, as if everything she said was true.

Ye Lingxi felt her cheeks turn red, she avoided Ziyuan's eyes, lowered her head and said, "Then she...is she out of danger too?"

Ziyuan smiled and said, "With her here, can I still escape danger? She has a way of dealing with Gu worms!"

"No wonder..." Ye Lingxi murmured, as if she had figured out why Ziyuan could return safely, "After Haoling's affairs, I would like to see this girl alone."

Ziyuan shook her head and said with a smile: "It's difficult, she's elusive, and you can't just see her when you want to." After finishing speaking, Ziyuan continued, "Your Highness, you should rest early, and I'm leaving."

"Go." After Ye Lingxi said thoughtfully, Jin Nu couldn't wait to close the small window tightly, for fear that Zi Yuan's turning around would disturb the princess again.

Ziyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, walked a few steps, and said with a smile: "Sister, if you see the princess's lovely appearance, you will also be heartbroken, right?" He raised his head, looked at the crescent moon, raised his hand to touch the wound on his right shoulder, and murmured, "Sister..."

The corner of his mouth raised, but a complicated and heavy smile emerged.
