Xie Yan looked helplessly at the little girl who was holding the back of her head and screaming in pain, "What are you doing?"
Luo Junyao covered the back of his head with one hand, tried to raise his head and looked at the man who suddenly appeared next to him with tears in his eyes, "Why are you here?"
The key is why did you suddenly make a sound to scare me?
Xie Yan also knew that he probably scared her, and he felt a little sorry.
"It hurts?"
Luo Jun shook his head and Xie Yan had no choice but to lean down and stretch out his hand: "Let me take a look."
His long, slender hand gently touched the back of her head. Although he tried his best to be gentle, Luo Junyao couldn't help but snort, and he couldn't help but lean forward to avoid his hand.
Xie Yan held her shoulder with his other hand, "Don't move, do you want to fall down again?"
"..." Luo Junyao had no choice but to stop. Xie Yan checked it carefully and then said: "There should be no internal injuries. It's better to let the doctor take a look and feel more relieved."
Luo Junyao shook her head quickly. She actually knew that the impact was not serious, it was just a little painful, but it would not cause any internal injuries.
"No, no, no, if my father knows that I am injured outside, he might ask me to take a group of people with me wherever I go from now on."
Xie Yan said: "You shouldn't go out alone."
Luo Junyao was a little unhappy and glared at him angrily, "My lord, do you know how to chat?"
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What?"
Luo Junyao said: "I'm angry, shouldn't you just follow my words?"
Xie Yan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Okay, I won't tell your father."
Only then did Luo Junyao feel happy, "That's pretty much it. By the way...Prince, why are you here?"
Xie Yan stood up and said, "I happened to see you here when I was passing by. Why are you hiding here alone?" This place is not a fun place, and it is not like a place where a girl of Luo Junyao's age likes to come alone.
And just by looking at Luo Junyao's appearance, we can tell that she has probably been here for a long time.
Hearing this, the smile on Luo Junyao's face gradually faded. She lowered her head slightly and whispered sadly: "I just... suddenly felt a little lonely and wanted to see the lively places here."
She kind of wanted to chat with them, thinking about the busy traffic of modern cities, the reinforced concrete forests and the feasting at night.
She missed her parents more, but she knew she might never see them again.
But she can't say this to anyone, because in the eyes of the world, although Luo Junyao lost his mother at a young age, he was loved by his father and brother, and he should be loved and lacked for everything.
Xie Yan was also startled, looking down at the little girl sitting on the stone with her eyes lowered and hugging her knees. The little back looked really weak and pitiful, Xie Yan couldn't help but frown, he was sure he didn't like to see it.
This scene.
After a long time, a hand gently touched the top of her head, and Xie Yan whispered: "If you feel lonely, go and play with your friends, and your family, they all care about you."
After pondering for a moment, he added: "If you still don't want to, then go for a walk in a crowded and lively place. Just watching from a distance is useless."
Luo Junyao was a little surprised and raised his head to look at him, "My lord, have you ever felt lonely?"
Xie Yan was silent for a moment before saying: "Yes."
"Then do you think...it's useful to go to crowded places?"
Xie Yan said: "No."
The more you go to a crowded place, the more lonely you will feel, because the excitement does not belong to you.
Xie Yan didn't know why a girl like Luo Junyao, who was usually cheerful, lively and well-loved, felt like this, but looking at her wet eyes, he understood that she was not forcing herself to express her sorrow over composing new words.
But thinking about it again, if she was really a carefree and innocent girl, how could she suffer from that strange soul-splitting syndrome?
Being different from others is a kind of isolation and loneliness in itself.
Xie Yan thought for a while and said: "If you really feel uncomfortable, just go and find something to do."
Luo Jun shook his head and looked at the tall man in front of him, and found that he was really comforting himself. He couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm much better now."
"Uh...I won't waste your time anymore. If you have something to do, you can leave first. If others see you standing here, you will scare them."
She is sitting here, with almost her entire body being blocked by rocks. It is unlikely that anyone will see her, but with such a tall and upright figure like Xie Yan, standing here will really scare many people.
She didn't know why she told him this, maybe because he already knew her secret, but he was not her relative.
Some things are harder to say the closer you are to the person.
She could say these words to Xie Yan, but she could not say them to her father, mother, two brothers and eldest sister.
Xie Yan glanced around. It was almost dusk and there were not many people nearby.
"Don't sit here, let's go together."
Luo Junyao looked at his expression that said "If you don't leave, I will carry you with me" and could only nod his head, "Oh."
She had been sitting on the rockery for a long time and her legs were numb.
Just as she was about to stand up while holding on to the stone behind her, Xie Yan had already stretched out his hand in front of her. Luo Junyao blinked, put her hand on his palm, and used her strength to get up.
Luo Junyao was about to get up, but suddenly his eyes changed slightly and he whispered: "Your Majesty, squat down!" As he said this, the movement of his hands changed to pulling.
Xie Yan quickly understood her intention, but instead of squatting down as she said, he pulled Luo Junyao up, holding her waist and the two of them had already fallen behind the rockery.
Xie Yan moved up again. Although he was still holding a person in his hand, it did not affect his movements at all. He barely made a sound. The two of them had already landed on a large tree with dense leaves and some age beside the wall of the garden.
superior.
The two of them stood on a tree branch as thick as a bowl. Their feet and surroundings were covered by dense branches and leaves, but there was a large space left where they were.
Luo Junyao was surprised but also a little envious of Xie Yan's Qing Gong. This skill could not be achieved by her hard work.
Compared with the bare and small rockery top, this big tree is indeed a more suitable hiding place.
Luo Junyao whispered: "I just saw Prince Ning coming."
Although Prince Ning is Xie Yan's uncle, the relationship between the two is somewhat subtle.
Both of them are the four auxiliary ministers, but Xie Yan, who is a generation shorter, is also the regent, which puts him ahead of Prince Ning.
No need to listen to any rumors, Luo Junyao knew that Prince Ning had a lot of dissatisfaction with Xie Yan privately based on Prince Ning's performance at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet.
Under this situation, if Prince Ning saw Xie Yan here with her, I'm afraid it would be a little embarrassing and make Prince Ning suspicious.
"It doesn't matter." Xie Yan whispered.
A low voice came from above her head, and Luo Junyao realized that he was still held in Xie Yan's arms. He was holding her waist with one hand, and his chin was just above her head, so the voice also came from above her head.
of.
A wave of heat surged up instantly, and Luo Junyao felt his face was slightly hot.
However, because Prince Ning and his party had already walked over, she did not dare to speak loudly, so she had to lower her voice and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you can let me go."
Xie Yan also found that it was not good for him to hold this girl in his arms like this, but there were no branches where Luo Junyao could hold them where they were standing. Xie Yan was not sure that he would really let her go and let her stand like this, so he could only whisper: "First
do not move."
He took a step back, putting some distance between the two of them, but still held Luo Junyao with one hand.
"..." Luo Junyao also noticed this embarrassment. She was short and had short hands, and she couldn't reach the places where Xie Yan could easily hold her.
And Xie Yan didn't need to hold on to anything. Not to mention standing on such a thick branch of an ancient tree, even if he stood on a small branch, he would still feel like walking on flat ground.
Luo Junyao doesn't have this ability yet.
"oh."
This big tree is next to the garden wall. Less than two or three feet away from it is a winding bluestone road that can only accommodate three people walking side by side.
Therefore, Xie Yan and Luo Junyao were actually standing on the path at this time. When they lowered their heads, they could vaguely see the path below through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
Prince Ning was walking with his people from the other end of the path. The person walking side by side with him was none other than He Ruomuti, the great prince of Gaoyu.
The guards were already standing guard around the path ahead of them, and there were even two people standing under the wall.
These people just stood quietly not far away to protect the safety of the two of them, and no one came forward to interrupt their conversation.
"The eldest prince is about to leave for Gaoyu soon. Please help me bring good things to King Gaoyu." Prince Ning said with a genuine smile.
He Ruomuti seemed to be in a bad mood and said in a deep voice: "That's natural. It's just that we made such huge concessions in the negotiations with Dasheng. I'm afraid I'll be punished by my father when I go back."
Prince Ning obviously didn't believe what he said and said with a smile: "The eldest prince has fooled me with his words. The conclusion of an alliance between the two countries will be a good thing for Gao Yu and Dasheng. After the eldest prince returns, his position as crown prince will also be changed."
It’s just around the corner, where’s the punishment?”
He Ruomuti smiled bitterly and said: "Dasheng is pressing hard today, but I have made a lot of concessions. If someone with intentions makes a fuss about this, I won't be charged with treason."
Prince Ning shook his head, "That's bad, that's bad. Da Sheng has not crossed the bottom line of King Gao Yu, so how can the eldest prince commit treason? The eldest prince just wanted to fool us old men who have been in the capital for a long time. Zhifei is not easy to fool.
ah."
After what he said, He Ruomuti couldn't say anything else.
I just cursed secretly in my heart, Prince Ning is indeed an old fox. No wonder the Dasheng clan was almost wiped out by Xie Yan, but he was still able to sit firmly in the position of assistant minister.
While they were talking, the two of them had already passed under the tree and headed forward.
As they walked away, the guards below naturally followed them, and soon everything became quiet again.
Luo Junyao listened carefully and found that they were all talking about the alliance between Dasheng and Gao Yu. Apparently, the agreement on the alliance between the two countries was finally concluded.
And the result... He Ruomuti seemed not satisfied and was complaining to Prince Ning. Unfortunately, Prince Ning was also an old fox and didn't accept this problem.
Luo Junyao suddenly remembered that now that the two countries have finished talking about an alliance, are they about to talk about a marriage?
There were rumors before that the two countries were going to get married, but there has been no movement these days. Has the candidate been decided, or is there no need to get married after the negotiation?
Thinking of this, Luo Junyao immediately turned around and wanted to ask Xie Yan behind him.
Xie Yan didn't want to be rude to the little girl, so although he was supporting Luo Junyao with one hand, there was still half a foot of distance between them.
Seeing Luo Jun shake his head, Xie Yan thought something was wrong with her and lowered his head with a questioning look.
A peerless handsome face that Miss Luo Er personally identified as "the most handsome man in Shangyong, even Xie Chengyou is not worthy of carrying his shoes" appeared at such a close place. Even though Mr. Luo had seen all the beauties in the world, he was still attracted by this.
The beauty crit was so shocking that it took my breath away.
She couldn't help but start to think wildly: Xie Yan was already thirty years old, and there was really no blemish on his face.
It is said that he has been on the battlefield for more than ten years and has eaten sand for several years at the border. Shouldn't his face be weathered? How does he maintain this? Does the profound internal strength really have a miraculous effect on his appearance? Her father is also very powerful.
But not as much as Xie Yan.
Yan Gou Lan Mengmeng directly ignored the fact that Luo Yun was still young compared to his peers even though he had been fighting in the north and south all his life, and the fact that Luo Yun was actually almost twenty years older than Xie Yan.
Xie Yan thought she had something to say, but he didn't expect the girl to turn her head and keep staring at him without saying anything. He couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and looked at her without saying anything.
He wanted to know how long this girl could hold on to such an awkward posture.
Luo Junyao told him that Yan Gou was omnipotent.
In the end, Xie Yan sighed softly in his heart, reached out and pinched Luo Junyao's chin and turned her face away.
If he keeps trying like this, is he afraid that this girl won't be able to turn her neck back?
Luo Junyao came to his senses and his face turned red instantly.
How could she have the nerve to tell others that she had just accidentally given birth to a family full of children and grandchildren?
And...she remembered the weird dream that night again!
Therefore, she didn't end up staring at Xie Yan and lost track of time. She was frightened by herself and didn't dare to move.
He was afraid that he would accidentally reveal what was in his heart and be thrown directly from the tree trunk by Xie Yan.
It's so high, and with her poor Qinggong skills, she would definitely be paralyzed if she fell.
Even with his back turned, Xie Yan could feel the unpredictable expression on the little girl's face at this moment.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xie Yan jumped down from the tree with the little girl in his arms, and landed quietly at the foot of the rockery where Luo Junyao was sitting just now.
"We've gone far, it's getting late, go back quickly." Xie Yan said softly.
Luo Junyao quickly let go of the sleeve he was holding, nodded quickly, turned around and slipped away.
Let’s talk about the marriage later, it’s better to stay away from Xie Yan now!
Xie Yan frowned as he watched the little girl running away as if someone was chasing her.
He looked at the retreating figure and thought for a moment, then followed him.
