Chapter 021: The Prince's Mentor
Chapter 021 The Prince's Mentor
Although Xiao Li is good at dealing with four extraordinary guards, she naturally dare not be careless.
But what she didn't expect was that when she was doing her best to deal with the four guards, an arrow broke through the wind and shot directly between her eyebrows like a meteor.
In desperation, Xiao Li couldn't help but panic. This panic was like being distracted. Seeing the arrow with cold light coming to his eyes, Xiao Li could only close his eyes fiercely.
"Ding--" A cold wind blew across his face, and Xiao Li suddenly opened her eyes. After looking at it, she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart!
At this moment, two long arrows, one in front and one behind, were falling rapidly.
But then Xiao Li's heart couldn't help but be full of doubts. Just now, she clearly saw that the long arrow was imminent, but with her agile and keen skills, she could no longer dodge. However, in the end, the arrow did not shoot at her, but was shot open by another arrow that followed.
What the hell is going on?
Didn’t these people want to kill her? Or was someone trying to save her?
"Ali, why don't you stay in the city to watch singing and dancing and enjoy the lanterns? Why do you have to follow the princes and men out of the city?" Under the moonlight, a month-old figure suddenly appeared in the shadow of the carriage.
That person was Huangfu Haotian.
"Fourth Prince!" The four guards riding horses had surrounded Xiao Li who had landed on the ground: "You know this woman?"
Huangfu Haotian waved at the four guards, and the guards quickly retreated around the carriage, including their men and horses.
Huangfu Haotian quickly walked to Xiao Li: "What is the reason for you following this prince here?"
"Huangfu Haotian?" When the name blurted out from Xiao Li's mouth, she was carefully looking at the man in front of her in the moonlight: "Are you really the fourth prince of the current emperor?"
Huangfu Haotian looked at her and suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "So what if it is or not? Did you never know Ali? Or did you not believe in the identity of this prince at all?"
"Ph—" Xiao Li really wanted to curse people in person, but it seemed that the time was not the time at all.
Because a sudden burst of coughing came from the carriage: "Cough cough cough... The fourth brother, why don't you ask this girl to come to the carriage and say it. I have to hurry to find Dr. Mo."
Xiao Li suddenly felt depressed when she spoke, because she had already heard that the prince in the car really had no strength.
"Let's go." Huangfu Haotian suddenly reached out to catch her.
But she was thrown away: "I am not afraid to tell you the truth. I originally planned to seek revenge on you. But for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will let you go for the first time."
"Oh?" Huangfu Haotian seemed to be very surprised when he heard this. His narrow phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed and narrowed: "Are you going to seek revenge on this prince?"
However, Xiao Li was no longer willing to talk to him too much: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince is uncomfortable, then please ask the Fourth Prince to accompany the Crown Prince to find Doctor Mo first. As for the private accounts between us, we will naturally make careful calculations later." As he said that, he raised his hand and clasped his fists at him: "There will be a time later, Xiao Li will say goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and planned to go back to the city.
"Stop!" Before the person got on the horse, Huangfu Haotian's majestic words suddenly came from behind: "Since you have been here, you might as well follow me! On the deeper night of the moon, how can I allow you, a woman, to go on the road alone?"
Xiao Li didn't look back, but just replied coldly: "Of course, Xiao Li's own affairs will be decided by herself, so the Fourth Prince will not bother you." After saying that, she still raised her foot and jumped onto the horse. But she didn't expect that at this time, her waist suddenly became numb. In a blink of an eye, she suddenly fell into the arms of someone.
As soon as he looked up, he happened to meet Huangfu Haotian's pair of phoenix eyes shining with moonlight: "Since you have said that you are not allowed to walk back alone at night, you should be honest and obedient."
"You--" Xiao Li was furious for a moment, but suddenly shed no strength to move.
Looking at her resentful look, Huangfu Haotian looked indifferent: "You don't have to waste your time. You have already been controlled by the master. If you really want to leave alone, then wait until the acupoints are automatically untied!"
Xiao Li only felt that her feet were empty and the person had been picked up by Huangfu Haotian in the waist: "Although you are Miss Xiao, you are still my wife. Since you are my woman, you have to listen to me."
"You are shameless!" Xiao Li was full of hatred, but at this time, there was only one mouth where the whole body could move.
But no matter how she scolded her, Huangfu Haotian no longer paid attention to her and just held her and walked towards the carriage with big strides.
When he walked to the carriage, Huangfu Haotian suddenly remembered to instruct a guard and said, "You, take the token of this prince and go to the general's mansion. He said that Miss Xiaoli is now out of the city with the prince and this prince to do something, so that the general should not worry."
"Sir, obey the order!" The guards took the order and left.
After getting on the carriage, Huangfu Haotian still hugged Xiao Li tightly in his arms. At this time, Xiao Li looked at the faint candlelight, the prince's pale and weak face, and was embarrassed to fight Huangfu Haotian again.
There was only one thing, she felt so uncomfortable just snuggling in Huangfu Haotian's arms. So she spoke to him and said, "Will you feel tired if the Fourth Prince holds me like this?"
Huangfu Haotian then lowered his head to look at her, and asked with a faint smile: "What do you want in your opinion?"
Xiao Li said hatefully, "Can you just let me go and let me sit next to you?"
Huangfu Haotian looked at the crown prince, then looked at the location beside him, and still smiled and shook his head at Xiao Li: "No."
"Why?" Xiao Li asked in confusion.
Huangfu Haotian smiled gently at her: "No, it's just because the space in the carriage is too small. Since the emperor wants to occupy two people's positions by himself, he has to feel wronged that you and me will sit in the same position."
Xiao Li went to see it in a blink of an eye and saw that the crown prince was indeed half lying on the couch, and Huangfu Haotian hugged her and only occupied a corner of the couch.
I felt speechless for a moment.
Until the crown prince opened his weak eyes, looked at her silently for a while, and then suddenly said, "Miss Xiao, is Xiao Li, the only daughter of the general?"
Xiao Li didn't want to answer, but when she thought that he was the crown prince, not the fourth son, and the sympathy for him in her heart, she finally couldn't bear to refute his face, so she answered: "That's right, the daughter is Xiao Li."
The crown prince's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, then moved upwards on Huangfu Haotian's face, and suddenly laughed: "The fourth brother really has a good look. Miss Xiao and the fourth brother are really a pair made of heaven."
After saying that, he breathed one-sidedly and spoke again: "I hope the fourth brother must grasp the situation well. Don't be indecisive, so as not to miss the opportunity in vain in the future."
When Xiao Li heard this, she couldn't help but sneer: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is probably wrong, right? My daughter and the Fourth Prince are not what His Highness thinks."
But at this moment, Huangfu Haotian suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Brother, don't bother with me anymore. Besides, after being taught by my brother for many years, I naturally know how to treat my woman."
"Fourth Prince!" For a moment, Xiao Li felt angry and said: "Second Prince, please be careful when speaking! My daughter does not want any unnecessary involvement with the Fourth Prince."
Huangfu Haotian's phoenix eyes were narrowed down again.
I really didn't expect that this woman would come here desperately today to challenge his patience again and again.
It seems that the first two times, he did take this woman away.
However, it was because he was too careless before that he regarded the dignified general's daughter as an insignificant little maid in Liufang Pavilion. Although he also loved her indifferently, with her usual coquettish temperament, he would definitely regard everything as a lifelong shame.
But, so what?
Since she is wrong, it is better to just make mistakes just like this. Anyway, she is now his Huangfu Haotian's woman, and this has become a fact that can never be erased.
The prince's health was not very good after all, so he gradually stopped talking between the three people. There was no one on the night road, and the carriage ran very quickly. After more than half an hour, the group soon arrived at the small village at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.
After arriving at the destination, Huangfu Haotian thought that Xiao Li would not cause any trouble for her without discrimination of the opportunity and occasion. So he also took action to untie the acupoints on her body. Then he told her to stay in the carriage to take care of His Royal Highness the Prince, and then get off the car and go to call Doctor Mo's door in person.
After a while, Dr. Mo opened the door and came out.
But when he saw that the person standing at the door was Huangfu Haotian, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but in the end he came forward: "When it's so deeper and quiet, why did you suddenly come here?"
Huangfu Haotian looked a little embarrassed: "I came here specifically when the night was deeper, so I naturally had something to ask for a meeting with Doctor Mo." After saying that, he turned around and pointed to the carriage that had already arrived at the door: "Doctor Mo, please see, who is the person in that carriage?"
"Ahem cough cough..."
Before he could take a step, he suddenly heard a sudden burst of coughing. Doctor Mo's face suddenly sterned, and he suddenly withdrew the steps he was about to take.
Looking up at Huangfu Haotian's narrow eyes, Doctor Mo asked coldly: "Can you bring him here, Fourth Prince?"
Xiao Li was about to pick up the curtain to look, but found that the prince half lying on the couch suddenly opened his eyes.
"Miss Xiao, have we already arrived at the place?" The prince's voice was still weak, but Xiao Li strangely felt that there seemed to be a kind of inexplicable tremor in the voice of His Highness of the Prince at this time.
Xiao Li naturally didn't know what was the reason for this. But she knew that at this moment, they had indeed arrived at Doctor Mo's doorstep.
Just as he was about to answer, he didn't expect that the Prince's Highness suddenly stood up from the couch. Seeing that he was about to rush down from the carriage, Xiao Li was so scared that he hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up: "Your Highness, please be careful and slow."
After Xiao Li helped the prince get out of the car, she suddenly felt the force in her hand sinking, which made her involuntarily take two or three steps back.
