It was getting dark, and a bonfire had been set up in the tent. Everyone was chatting and laughing around the barbecue. It was very lively. Prince Rui was sitting among them, and beside him was Li Ningfu, who came out to meet people for the first time after being injured.
Her face was very pale, and she was not well yet. She looked so pitiful that it made people feel a little distressed to see her.
Opposite the fire, Feng Guqiu was sitting, accompanied by Concubine Rong of course. I didn't see Concubine Dong or Concubine Yang. It was understandable that Concubine Yang didn't come out. After all, she was pregnant. Concubine Dong
It's puzzling that Shi didn't come out.
As for Princess Xian not coming out, everyone didn't take it seriously. They thought that the prince had beaten Princess Xian when they first arrived, so naturally they felt that they were losing face and didn't come out.
Prime Minister Lin was sitting on the right with drooped eyelids. Next to him was Lin Chengzhi. However, everyone was far away from the young master. Although the young master Lin was a second generation ancestor, he was not as angry as today.
, as long as you say something to him, he can't wait to pounce on you and bite you. He is really like a dog biting whoever he sees.
What's surprising is that Prime Minister Lin didn't take care of it, which is right. Who doesn't know that Prime Minister Lin loves his son the most?
Everyone was changing cups and cups until it was late at night and everyone dispersed. Feng Guqiu's face became cold only after he returned to the tent. Jingpachi also had a serious look on his face, "Master, I sent out the guards to look for him, but they didn't see him.
princess."
After Mr. Lin came back in the afternoon, he actually came to ask the princess if she was back, saying that they separated after entering the forest. At first, Feng Guqiu didn't pay attention, but when she saw that the people who went hunting came back one after another, she realized
Something was wrong. After dark, he asked Longhu to take people out to look for the person. It was already the middle of the night, and there was no news coming back. Feng Guqiu became a little bit upset.
"Sir, why don't you tell Prince Rui?" Kyoupachi cautiously probed.
Feng Guqiu shook his head and said, "Let someone prepare the horse, and I will go out personally."
Although that woman is a little willful, she never does anything without measure. If she hasn't come back so late, something must have happened. Although he should be happy, he doesn't know why he can't be happy.
In the quiet night, I saw a figure leaving the tent and heading towards the woods. After reaching the woods, he mounted a horse and ran inside. The woods were pitch black, and the horse could not move even once it was inside. Feng Guqiu had to leave.
I jumped down immediately and looked at the endless woods. Where should I find them?
He was in a daze. He hadn't been so confused in how many years?
But now it turned out to be because of such an insignificant woman. Thinking of that woman's usual provocation, Feng Guqiu tightened her lips and pulled her horse inside.
Also unable to sleep were Lin Xiangcheng and his son. Inside the tent, Lin Chengzhi lowered his voice for the first time, "How can we just leave her outside like this? No, I have to go find her."
"Come back here. If you don't want her to have trouble in the future, just stay here." Prime Minister Lin looked gloomy.
Lin Cheng was so scared that he didn't dare to step out.
Prime Minister Lin sighed, pulled his son over, and explained in a voice that only two people could hear, "Have you ever thought about who is chasing him? Let's come back in the afternoon so that we won't attract the attention of others. As for Yu Xian,
Princess, she doesn't go out of the tent on weekdays, so no one notices whether she is there or not, so she is safe. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching you in the dark. It is possible that if you make a wrong step, you will be in harm's way.
Many people have died, even Princess Xian. Son, you should understand something. My father is responsible for what happened today, but this can be regarded as a good relationship. You will understand in the future."
"Then I have to tell Shuizhu." Lin Chengzhi was still worried.
Prime Minister Lin glared over, "Since the girl in Prince Xian's Mansion is still very quiet now, Prince Xian must have told me something. You don't have to worry about these things. If I'm not wrong, she will be back by dawn at the latest."
"
Thinking that the person was missing, King Xian did not look for the person in a big way, and even reassured those around him not to let the news out. This cautious thought was also satisfying.
That night, Prime Minister Lin and his son sat there until dawn.
Also awake all night was Mu Lingxue who was in the mountains. In fact, she wanted to leave when the searchers left. After all, she paid special attention to both sides of the road when she came, so she could find her way back on her own.
Road, but not long after, the old man got a fever. After all, it was a human life, and there was no water. She could only use the remaining wine in the pot to rub the old man's head and hands. After that, the old man's fever
It has receded, and the sky is almost bright.
She stood at the entrance of the cave and stretched out, but she didn't realize that the old man was already awake. She looked at the woman's robe covering her body and was slightly stunned. It had been many years since she had felt like this.
He still remembered that back then, she covered him with her robe like this, making him feel that he had found a home, having never felt the tenderness of home. But then she left her, and he became a different person, and then he became another person.
A person without a home.
After Mu Lingxue turned around, she saw the old man in a daze, but she breathed a sigh of relief, "It'll be fine if you wake up. You had a fever last night, and there was no medicine. I could only rub your head with wine to reduce your fever. The sky was dark.
It's early, just don't get any water on your wound, it's time for me to leave."
"Are you Princess Xian?" The old man's voice was hoarse.
Lin Cheng had already said it in front of him yesterday? But since he asked again, Mu Lingxue didn't deny it. She just nodded, looked at the robe on his body, and hesitated for a moment. The old man always didn't wait for her.
He handed it over as soon as he opened his mouth.
He didn't follow the rules and put on his clothes in front of the old man. "Although I don't know much, but seeing that Prime Minister Lin values you so much, I won't let you be here by yourself. I will definitely send someone here."
You just wait here, I will look for an opportunity to tell him when I get back, and I will seize it."
The old man said nothing and only nodded slightly.
Mu Lingxue just left the cave and walked forward as she felt. After all, the genius was going to shine brightly, but the light was blocked by the woods and it was pitch dark all around. It was fake to not be afraid.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mu Lingxue stopped tiredly and panted. She vaguely seemed to hear some movement behind her. She screamed and ran forward, but the thing behind her actually followed her.
At first she thought it was her illusion, but now that she knew it was not true, she was so frightened that she almost flew out of her body. She also started to curse, "Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. I have never done anything wrong in my life.
I'm a good person, and I have to be conscientious even if I'm a ghost."
Pouch,,, a chuckle came from behind.
Mu Lingxue let out a sigh, but her body stopped instinctively. It was laughter, so that meant she was a human being? No matter what, as long as it wasn't those unclean things.
She turned around. After all, she had been in the dark and had gotten used to it. She could only vaguely see a figure standing not far away. She stared hard, instinctively feeling that this person was very familiar.
"Lin Chengzhi?" After all, Lin Chengzhi knew her whereabouts, so Mu Lingxue was the first to guess him.
Seeing that the person standing opposite did not respond, she asked again, "Longhu?"
Longhu is Feng Guqiu's bodyguard. If Feng Guqiu knew that she was lost, he would definitely send someone to look for her. But if he didn't say anything when he saw her, then that's not the case. Mu Lingxue thought with her brows furrowed and twitched the corner of her mouth.
, could it be that man?
Such a sneer is beyond the reach of a slave.
"It seems that Princess Xian doesn't even remember me. They say that a husband and wife will be blessed for a hundred days, but we can be husband and wife for one night." Mu Lingxue would recognize this evil voice even after she died.
"I have met Prince Rui." Why is this man here? He comes out before dawn. If he dares to talk about exercise, she will despise him to death.
"Exercise" is a clear and simple word.
Uh,,,,well, since he needs to despise, then she should despise him.
"Princess Xian, what are you doing in the woods before dawn? Couldn't you be in the woods all night?" In the blink of an eye, Feng Guran was already in front of her.
Mu Lingxue raised her chin and looked over, "Yes, I stayed in the woods for a night."
Feng Guran didn't expect her to tell the truth, and thought she would lie, so she couldn't speak anymore.
"Prince Rui doesn't want his own princess anymore. She has to be sent to Prince Xian's Mansion. How can I, my concubine, sleep?" Mu Lingxue added.
Although she didn't understand the tricks of these men, the man in front of her obviously had some ulterior motives for not sleeping here. She was caught again. Lying would only make this man suspicious, and he would not tell the truth.
.
Of course, the truth also depends on how you say it.
There was a glint in Feng Guran's eyes, and her tone was evil, "Princess Xian, are you blaming me for making you feel wronged?"
Mu Lingxue took a step back, but her heart started to beat wildly, "It's so strange that I can't explain, who made this man look good? Naturally, women are willing to get into his arms, but even the unmarried Princess Rui has this
I think I just feel embarrassed for Prince Rui."
This tone was completely like that of a sour woman. Feng Guran put aside her suspicions and laughed loudly, "Princess Xian has not slept all night, I will send you back."
After receiving the news, he went into the woods, but there was nowhere to be found in such a big place. He stayed outside, but he didn't want to see Mu Lingxue, who had been wandering around and couldn't find the way.
At first he didn't want to say anything. At first he thought it was this woman who was playing tricks, but after seeing her going around for more than ten times, he realized that this woman was definitely a road fool. She had gone around so many times in one place and yet she still hadn't...
She found that if she didn't go out, she would have no problem walking around until dawn.
Mu Lingxue was in a hurry to go out, and she was really happy when she heard that, "Then I will thank you, Your Majesty."
In the tent, Jingpachi came in to report that the princess was back. After hearing that it was Prince Rui who sent it back, Feng Guqiu frowned slightly. It seemed that he had underestimated the second child's ability.
