18. Chapter 18

The night was getting deeper and the fire in the other courtyard had not stopped, but the wind in the woods became heavier. Tang Yu hurriedly leaned against the leeward in the trunk, looking at the fire soaring into the sky in the distance, anxious but helpless.

There were too many people coming to put out the fire, most of them were men. Her clothes were too thin and were covered in water. Tang Yu really couldn't show up, so he could only hide here and wait for the people to scatter and then go back quietly.

The woods were deep, as if there was a serene movement. Tang Yu held the portrait of his mother tightly to boost his courage.

Suddenly, the sound of a branch being trampled and broke. Tang Yu suddenly made a clever sound and stood up alertly. At the same time, he quickly turned around and saw a man in black more than ten steps away. He lowered his head and his face was hidden in the shadow of the tree. He could not see clearly. He could only see a coat on his arm. The light was too dark, but he looked like a woman's style.

"Miss Tang, Chu Feng, is the guard beside the prince. The prince expected that the girl was inconvenient to go back at this time, so he sent his subordinates to deliver clothes. There were no female relatives in the palace. At dusk, the prince took the third princess to the other courtyard to rest, and was preparing to go to Anguo Temple to burn incense tomorrow, so he could only pick the clothes of the nanny next to the third princess to send them over. Fortunately, it was dark, and the girl adapted to the situation and should be able to get away with it."

Tang Yu had already hid behind the tree. When she heard this, she didn't say anything.

There was no movement there, and Chu Feng did not look up. He turned around and put the clothes in his hand on a low branch, bowed and said goodbye: "Take care, girl, I will go back and report now."

Tang Yu tightened the scroll in his hand and glanced at the burning corner. She lowered her head and said in a voice that was almost only she could hear: "Please tell the prince that the prince has saved me. I am really grateful. If the prince needs it in the future, no matter what property, as long as I can, I will definitely find a way to repay the prince."

She believed it because Song Qin really wanted her, and she was the kind of person who wanted her to do something to set fire. He wouldn't leave in anger just now, let alone miss the opportunity tonight, and risked her mother's portrait on her at risk. So no matter how Song Qin was in other aspects, it was a fact that he saved her life, and she really owed him a life.

Chu Feng paused his feet and looked back.

The prince resolutely went down the mountain to save people. As the prince's personal bodyguard, he could not not protect him secretly. He chased him all the way and guarded outside the Tang family villa. If the prince did not come out, he would go in to save people again. When he saw the prince holding the beauty into the woods, Chu Feng was secretly happy for his master, thinking that even if the prince could not take advantage of it, he would at least get the beauty's gratitude. Who would have thought that not long after, the prince came out with a cold face. His face and eyes were so cold that he could not describe it. Chu Feng followed the prince for so long that he had only seen the prince show such an expression twice, one was tonight, and the other was to fight in southern Xinjiang, and found that the military pay sent by the court was mixed with sand.

What did Miss Tang have to say to make the prince angry like that? And the prince has to care much about Miss Tang, but he was so angry that he didn't touch a hair of Miss Tang.

"Miss Tang asked his subordinates to tell me, hasn't the girl ever thanked the prince in person?" Chu Feng asked in a deep voice.

Tang Yu pursed his lips. Song Qin saved her, but she also had a light and weak idea. She thanked her, but she couldn't give the thank you Song Qin asked for.

The little girl remained silent. Chu Feng thought of his master's temper, shook his head helplessly, turned around, and hid behind another tree, "Miss Tang, when the prince just left, he was angry, and only ordered his subordinates to protect the girl Zhouquan, and never ordered anyone beside him. Seeing that the girl was reluctant to leave, I guessed that the girl's concerns, so I sent someone to the mountain to find clothes. This matter could not be hidden from the prince. The prince did not object, which shows that the prince also cared about the girl.

But my subordinates did this not for the girl, but for the prince. The prince tried his best to save the girl. I believe the girl had already understood the prince's intentions, but the prince always looked cold and indifferent. Sometimes, even though he had good intentions, it might turn into a bad thing and misunderstood. So my subordinates made their own decisions, hoping to change the girl's perception of the prince, so that the prince would not waste his efforts, do good things, and become a villain..."

The evening breeze hits people, Tang Yu is very clear-headed and interrupts coldly: "I am grateful for the prince saving me, but the prince's other things have nothing to do with me. You don't need to say anything more, please take the clothes back."

She and Wei Zhao were childhood sweethearts. Song Qin witnessed it with her own eyes and mocked them for their own life. He knew that she and Wei Zhao were in love with him and he was frivolous. Tang Yu really couldn't have a feeling beyond disgust with this kind of life. As for that dress, Chu Feng said this. She accepted Song Qin's kindness, wouldn't it mean that she appreciated the love?

The little girl's words were heartless. As the cool breeze blew to Chu Feng's chest, he was so blocked that he couldn't speak. Finally, he understood why the prince changed his face and risked his heart to give it to her. As a result, he slapped him on the ground. How could the prince bear such anger?

Chu Feng wanted to persuade him again, but he was unwilling to lose his master's price, so he was trampled on for nothing. In anger, he really left with his clothes.

Since they don’t care, what else does he give clothes? Let her be heartless and blow the cold wind all night!

There were two secret guards around him, and Chu Feng rushed back to the royal palace on the top of the mountain angrily.

The main room was dark, but Chu Feng knew that the master must have not been asleep yet. Looking at the clothes in his hand, he clenched his fists, walked to the window, and replied in a low voice: "Prince, my subordinate is back, Miss Tang said she was grateful to the prince for saving his life."

What responded to him was a long silence.

Chu Feng waited patiently.

"Have people gone back?"

The four simple words contain hundreds of twists and turns, which can be hidden from others, but Chu Feng. When Chu Feng thought of Tang Yu's ruthlessness, he gritted his teeth and said to the truth: "No, Miss Tang confiscated the clothes he brought with him. The subordinate emphasized that it was the prince's intention, and she refused to wear them."

The prince looked at the mighty, but everything was fought back by the prince. If it weren't for the prince's life, he would have died on the battlefield at the age of sixteen. Chu Feng couldn't bear to see the prince's grievance for such a woman, so he would be so angry that he would just snatch people directly and take them back to the palace as a concubine, or he would completely cut off his thoughts and stop thinking about them.

"Good to take the ten army sticks."

This time I returned to the ground very quickly, and the sound was even more bitter than the cold wind in the cold winter.

Chu Feng had long expected that as long as he could help the prince, he would be willing to bear the twenty military sticks.

"The prince rested earlier and went to the end." Chu Feng said calmly.

"Tomorrow you will accompany the third princess to Anguo Temple. If you make the third princess dissatisfied, you will be given a military stick at a time."

Just as Chu Feng turned around, another sentence floated out of it.

Chu Feng was fixed, and when he thought of the clingy spirit of the third princess, he suddenly regretted it very much.

Tang Yu continued to wait in the woods. After Chu Feng left about two quarters of an hour, an old woman hurried over. She was carrying a light on her back. Tang Yu couldn't recognize who this person was and was hesitating whether to speak. The old woman looked around and picked a grass and squatted down. Soon the sound of water came.

Tang Yu felt confident in his heart, and when the old lady got up, she called out tentatively: "Are you a servant of the Tang family?"

The woman was startled and hid back with her waist trousers. Seeing Tang Yu showing her figure, the woman looked carefully and suddenly became overjoyed, "Miss?"

Tang Yu also recognized her, and it was a gatekeeper who brought this time.

He lied that he had escaped by climbing the window and was afraid that someone would see that his clothes were not clean, so he had to hide in the woods first. Tang Yu put on the cloak of a woman, and the master and servant returned to the other courtyard together.

The fire was burned until midnight before it was completely extinguished. The two houses in the back of the villa were caught fire and could not be treated. The monks of Anguo Temple, the servants of the nearby villa, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain all went back. Tang Yu stood at the front door to see off the last kind-hearted person and ordered the guards to rest first. She led Madam Liu, Mo Lan and others into the front yard to the upper room. The fire spread north, and she was lucky to be uninvolved here.

As soon as Tang Yu sat down, Madam Liu pounced on her knees, "Girl, it's all my fault. After I persuaded you to come back in the evening, the stone-green slut accidentally made a big hole. Before going to bed, Xiu'er asked her to fix it tomorrow. Who knew that she would stay up late to patch it up? I'm old and rushed to the mountain road again today. I slept heavily at night and was choked by the thick smoke. The fire was already burning. When I went out, Xiu'er actually tried to put out the fire alone! I scolded her and rushed to save the girl and didn't care about her anymore, but I was useless. I fainted first without rescuing the girl, and even caused Mo Lan to be hit by the wood..."

Molan knelt beside her and cried, "Stop talking about it, mama, blame me for this. I was watching over the night for the girl, but I slept to death and woke up too late..."

The master was walking away from the water, and the subordinates were guilty of not protecting the master. Madam Liu was crying and admitting his mistake. The other maids followed closely behind, crying. Tang Yu sat on the chair, his eyes swept over the burning traces of the gray body on their faces, and felt unprecedented fatigue. "Don't cry, natural disasters, we should be there, we can't hide, even if we want to, get up."

Someone raised his head and saw that the leader Madam Liu, Mo Lan did not move and lowered her head.

When Tang Yu saw this, he stepped forward and helped Madam Liu up, frowned and said, "Madam, is anyone in our house injured?"

Madam Liu's body stiffened and looked at her, but she stopped talking.

Tang Yu's heart burst into tears and he glanced at the people in the room again. Finally, he found that one was missing, "Where is Xiu'er?"

Madam Liu cried bitterly, "Xiu'er, Xiu'er couldn't escape... Girl, Xiu'er is stupid and likes to be stubborn in doing things. I scolded her. She must be afraid that she would be punished if she couldn't destroy the fire... She couldn't watch it when she was carried out. It was all my fault. Girl, please punish me, otherwise I will be uneasy in my life..."

Kneeling in front of Tang Yu, crying in silence.

Tang Yu fell on the chair and thought that the innocent little girl was dead, she felt sad and whimpered.

The Tang couple, Wei Zhao and his family of three rushed over at this time.

"aunt……"

Survived from death, the slave lost his life. Tang Yu, as the head of the family, had to force himself to handle the funeral, but she was just a little girl who had just entered the hairpin, and she was also afraid and panicked. Now that she finally had the backbone, Tang Yu threw herself into Tang's arms and cried without any hesitation.

"Yu'er is not afraid, my aunt is here, let's go home now." Tang felt so distressed that he hugged his niece tightly, and he didn't touch anyone.

Wei Zhao followed behind, looking at her cousin's thin shoulders, and listening to her uncontrollable crying, her heart was almost broken.

The next day, Tang Yu, who was frightened by the dead after blew the cold wind for half a night, fell ill again.
