Seeing the menacing figure approaching, the guard guarding the entrance of the courtyard immediately lowered his head, fearing that if he was accidentally seen by the prince, he would die.
The housekeeper had been guarding the courtyard. He originally planned to wait for the master to come back and report it. However, he was startled by Xiao Yinhan's fierce look and simply forgot what he was going to say. He stared blankly at him walking past him.
He arrived at the closed door of the house, and then... stopped.
Ah, didn’t you just push the door open and go in?
After all, the way he looked just now looked like someone who owed a huge debt and had yet to repay it, and also like someone who had been cuckolded by a woman and was about to come to the door with a knife to catch someone raping him.
Xiao Yinhan stood at the door for a long time, his deep and gloomy eyes filled with scorching flames, as if they were about to burn through the door panel.
There are countless questions in my mind that I want to ask the people in the room, such as:
What is your relationship with that stinky boy who looks neither human nor evil?
What on earth do you have to say that you have been avoiding saying for so long?
Strictly speaking, "long" is his unilateral determination, and the actual time the two met would never exceed a cup of tea.
It was just that one person asked "Should we go?" and the other said "Go". After the matter was settled, she turned and left, and he closed the door.
But for a man who has been suppressing his heart, suppressing his true nature, and forcing himself to conform to women's preferences since the reunion.
The person of the opposite sex who asked her to visit him in person should die.
What is he?
Why should he?
The emotions accumulated over the past few days almost came together and exploded after the guard told the story of today's incident, and that's when the scene happened now——
The man stared fiercely at the closed carved door, with veins popping out in his clenched fists. Even if he punched the door through, no one would be surprised.
Those who witnessed this scene beside and behind them were all prepared that what happened next would not be pretty.
After all, the temperament and style this person has shown for a long time is not something that can be tolerated.
I don’t know how long I have been waiting, but the smile on the housekeeper’s face has almost become stiff, and the calf he is standing feels swollen. The guards and maids behind him are also frightened, nervous, and scared at the beginning, and now they are asking, “Can it be done? Can I open the door?”
Well, finally——
The man suddenly raised his hand, and when everyone's breathing became tight, he gently pushed the door open.
That's right, he pushed it open gently, and even the terrifying expression on his face that he wanted to "kill all the people in the house and leave no one behind" dissipated completely the moment he opened the door, like a breeze blowing across the lake.
It wasn't until the man walked in and the door closed in his face that the housekeeper came to a conclusion from his shock:
Ah, the master will change his face!
Xiao Yinhan walked into the house. A familiar sweet fragrance lingered in the slightly dim room. The further inside, the closer the fragrance got.
It wasn't until he reached the bed that he finally stopped and looked solemnly at the person on the bed.
"Oh, my lord~"
As if sensing someone approaching, the person on the bed murmured softly.
Xiao Yinhan reluctantly came back to his senses and stepped forward.
"What's wrong?"
The moment she was held in the man's arms, Jiang Tang was not completely awake.
In fact, from the moment he stood at the door, the dog system in his mind had already warned her in advance that he was very angry and might quarrel with her.
To be honest, she was still looking forward to this result.
But for some reason, after waiting for a long time and no one came in, she fell asleep again without realizing it.
The girl's fragrant and soft body was nestled in his arms. Xiao Yinhan was dazed for a moment, and his arms unconsciously tightened a little, but when he spoke, he seemed to have his own thoughts: "The housekeeper said you didn't eat dinner.
Been sleeping."
"Um."
Jiang Tang snorted softly and unconsciously rubbed into the man's arms, like a little rabbit coquettishly showing off to its master.
Perhaps it was the way she looked so cute and cute when she was nestling in his arms, which made the darkness and jealousy that the man had suppressed dissipate a lot.
Seeing that she was really sleepy, Xiao Yinhan didn't say anything more. He was like a dutiful pillow, holding her quietly, gently stroking her back with his palms from time to time, making her sleep comfortably.
Time slowed down at this moment, and all the quarrels and noises seemed far away.
Just when Jiang Tang closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep again, a man's voice finally sounded in his ears:
"Do you really want to go?"
A slightly deep male voice reached my ears, and soon faded into darkness.
Jiang Tang did not answer immediately, or in other words, did not understand what he was saying immediately.
After a while, she reluctantly opened her eyes and raised her head: "Huh?"
There was a hint of sleepiness in her charming voice, as if she was asking him: What are you talking about?
Xiao Yinhan has excellent night vision, not to mention that the sky is not completely dark at this moment.
Seeing the girl's eyes as bright as night stars, he couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her gently.
"I found out where Concubine Fang lives in the city, but when I led people there, she escaped again."
Once again, the building was empty of people, but at least some things were left behind that were too late to take away.
"But, I found something."
Where Jiang Tang couldn't see, Xiao Yinhan's face was very serious.
"what?"
"A map."
[It’s a map, but only half of it.] The system replied in a low voice.
The words "one man united" coincided perfectly, leaving Jiang Tang in a daze for a moment.
A map? Or half a map...
what does it mean?
Was it really too late to take it away, or was it left on purpose?
After all, with that woman's habit of doing things, how could she be... careless?
After thinking about it, Jiang Tang suddenly smiled. This reaction attracted the man's curious gaze: "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Tang shook his head, rubbed his little face on his shoulder, and said softly: "I'm so sleepy~"
The voice was incredibly soft, but it also made the man's heart soften.
Xiao Yinhan stiffened half of his body, then slowly lifted her body up to make her sleep more comfortable in his arms:
"It's getting late, let's eat something and go back to sleep."
It's just that after he finished speaking, he didn't get a reply for a long time. It was like she fell asleep again...
-
By the next day, neither Jiang Tang nor Xiao Yinhan mentioned the matter about the "map" yesterday, as if it had been revealed.
He still spends all the time with her every day except when he goes out, and she either eats or sleeps.
Life is comparable to raising pigs.
Until this day, Xiao Yinhan was stopped by someone on his way back——
"I have something to show you, can you come over?"
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, Bai Muzhi's tone became much gentler.
Or to put it another way, now she can no longer talk to him as confidently as before.
Because I know that even if I tell him, this person will not pay attention to him.
Xiao Yinhan stood there, looking at the woman in front of him with cold eyes. He only glanced at it and then looked away: "If you want to say it, say it now."
If you don't say anything, you can leave.
The latter sentence was something she understood herself.
"I……"
The moment she opened her mouth to question, Bai Muzhi bit her lip hard, forcing herself to swallow her words of weakness.
She couldn't compromise in front of him, she would never be able to do it.
Thinking of this, the girl's thin back straightened up even more, like an unyielding winter plum, and her face turned as white as snow: "I got the map from that man. If you want it, I will give it to you."
As she spoke, she handed over the hosta in her hand and handed it to the man.
She has her own pride and will not threaten anything with something that does not belong to her.
Even if I want him to come over, I just want to talk about old times with him from the perspective of a friend.
It's just that Xiao Yinhan's reaction was unexpectedly cold. Even though she had handed over the hosta, he just glanced at it.
He frowned slightly, as if he thought of something, and then looked away: "I don't need it, just take it back."
After saying this, Xiao Yinhan stepped up to leave.
The forced smile on Bai Muzhi's face disappeared, and the anger that she had finally suppressed surged into her heart again: "You don't need it?"
Xiao Yinhan didn't stop, even the guards following behind her were walking forward, and no one paid attention to her.
In an instant, Bai Muzhi felt as if the cold wind was coming from all directions, blowing into the seams of her bones, making her heart feel cold.
"Do you know what's hidden in this? How dare you say you don't need it?"
She finally couldn't help but get angry at him and accuse him as before:
"Xiao Yinhan, stop! If you leave today, you will be an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust bastard!"
Xiao Yinhan only paused for a moment, and then continued to leave without looking back. On the contrary, the expressions of the guards following him changed slightly, and their eyes were filled with confusion:
Do you want to stop Miss Bai from talking nonsense?
The prince didn't say anything, do you dare to go?
Don't dare...
"Is that woman really that important? Is it so important that you forget the promises you made since childhood? Even your own mother?"
At the last sentence, Bai Muzhi shouted so loudly that her throat hurt, and her heart beat very fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
But even after she finished shouting, the man didn't look back and just disappeared from her sight.
Like many times before...
"Xiao Yinhan, you bastard..."
The last sentence had a cry in his voice.
But that person still didn't look back.
He left without any regrets, leaving her where she was.
She hates him...
This thought suddenly emerged from her heart without any warning, startling her who was originally looking at the man's back with sadness.
No, I shouldn't hate him.
Why hate?
It's just losing a childhood playmate, what's the big deal?
I have so many good friends, and they are all very good. Even if I lose some friends occasionally, they are not worth "hating" me.
Not worth it……
She was thinking messily, trying hard to convince herself, but her eyes couldn't help but look down at the hosta she was holding tightly.
She used so much force that the palms of her hands hurt. Her eyes were sore from the pain, as if she was about to shed tears at the next moment.
But Bai Muzhi didn't really cry, she just thought of what the woman said:
"Since you two are a perfect match, do you know why he betrayed you and fell in love with another woman?"
"Why?" She swore she was just asking casually, and she didn't really want to know that much.
"Because that woman has a deep scheming mind. You and he are attracted to each other and fall in love naturally. She just set up all kinds of traps to lure him into the game. She used bitter tricks to deceive King Rong's trust and make him fall in love with her."
"She didn't really love King Rong at all, she just knew how to act. And King Rong was just deceived..."
"Are you just being cheated? A cruel trick."
Bai Muzhi looked at the hosta in his hand, and a firm idea gradually emerged in his originally chaotic thoughts -
If he was just deceived, wouldn't it be better if he didn't wake up?
-
[The heroine secretly contacted the concubine.]
"Huh?" Jiang Tang opened his eyes: "Didn't you say that only Nanxing can deliver the news?"
And Nan Xing is obviously in this house.
[It’s not Nan Xing, it’s a little girl who delivers food. They plan to...]
When the system finished explaining the two people's plans, Jiang Tang's originally half-open eyes were now fully opened.
"I didn't expect this. I thought the white lotus was really pure and flawless..."
It turns out that it can also be contaminated?
[The heroine is not a good person to begin with.]
Hearing Jiang Tang's words, the system couldn't help but argue: [If she was really a good person, the system would not choose a host to redeem the male protagonist. ]
Who is a good person if he only brings disaster to those around him and then benefits himself?
If the system had a mouth, it would give a loud "poof" to show "respect".
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether he is a good person or not."
Jiang Tang slightly raised the corners of his mouth, then stood up from the stool.
Anyway, she herself is not a good person.
-
"The hibiscus has bloomed in the garden, and it's very beautiful. Madam originally wanted to come and have a look, but..."
The butler hadn't finished what he said, but Xiao Yinhan had already understood it.
Tangtang was sleepy again.
Not long after she came here, she felt sleepy all the time.
He even slept more and longer than his "patient".
If the imperial doctor had not said that this was a normal symptom of taking new medicine, he would not have ignored it.
"Go down."
After driving away the housekeeper who was following suit, Xiao Yinhan turned around and turned away from the blooming garden, where he saw an unexpected figure.
In other words, it's not an accident.
He pretended not to see it and walked towards the flower garden. He glanced around and already selected one of the plants.
When the other party saw him, he rarely entangled him and stood up to leave.
And the accident happened at this time——
The moment he passed by, Bai Muzhi suddenly widened his eyes and his pupils tightened: "Be careful!"
Xiao Yinhan reacted quickly, turned around suddenly, and heard a "swish" sound, and a gleaming feather arrow inserted into the position where he had just stood.
"Come here, escort me!"
The guards behind him drew their swords and gathered around to protect the prince. Arrows rained down from the sky.
"The reason why she is successful is because she is cruel to herself."
The bewitching female voice sounded in her mind again. Looking at the figure that was being crowded towards the corridor, she became heartbroken:
I just don’t want him to be deceived by bad people again!
