Shangguan Ruoli turned around and looked over, and saw Qu Xiaohan wearing a white gown, with dark hair blowing in the wind, and his handsome face as gentle and jade-like as ever.

Under the hazy night, he looks like the big brother next door.

"Brother Xiaohan," Shangguan Ruoli sat up, his clothes blown up by the wind, like an elf descending from the earth and landing on the treetops.

Out of courtesy, Qu Xiaohan did not approach Shangguan Ruoli, but leaned against a tree trunk two meters away, looking at Shangguan Ruoli so gently.

He didn't know what was going on with him. He was discussing matters with Shangguan Tianxiao in his study. When he heard that Shangguan Ruoli lived here, he felt a little palpitating in his heart.

I came here unknowingly. The trees here are the tallest and you can clearly see the Meixiang Garden.

He just wanted to take a look at her figure reflected on the window from a distance, but when he came here, he found Shangguan Ruoli lying on a branch, staring blankly at the sky. This scene stimulated his vision and made him

Feeling distressed.

That kind of loneliness and sadness, a feeling of being abandoned by the whole world.

This feeling of panic made him speak out involuntarily, trying to comfort her, "Is the princess unhappy?"

The brain cells of the original owner were causing trouble, and Shangguan Ruoli actually had the urge to cry.

Smiling slightly, "No, it's just that the night here is nice."

Qu Xiaohan also smiled slightly, "It's okay if you don't."

The two of them turned to look at the starry sky, speechless for a while, but the atmosphere was not awkward at all.

Qu Xiaohan took off the jade flute from his waist and said, "Let me play a piece of music for the princess. The princess has always liked to listen to me playing the flute when she was in a bad mood since she was a child. But she doesn't know that now..."

He had already sensed that Shangguan Ruoli had changed, and also learned from Shangguan Tianxiao that she met Xiao Fei and learned martial arts.

She is no longer the quiet and timid blind person she was before, and no longer needs his protection and comfort.

But even so, he didn't feel sad. Instead, he was happy for her and sighed: "Forget it..."

"No, I like to hear you play the flute," Shangguan Ruoli smiled lightly, with helplessness in his tone, "But you know there are people from Prince Xuan's palace here, and they are afraid of causing trouble for you."

She is no longer a free person, and Qu Xiaohan's identity is also very sensitive. If Dongming Ziyu is so petty and makes a fuss about Qu Xiaohan's affairs, the Shangguan family will be in big trouble again.

No matter what Dongming Ziyu's feelings were for her, she was obviously Princess Xuan, so she had to worry about Prince Xuan's reputation and face.

"I overstepped my bounds." Qu Xiaohan's face turned slightly red. Fortunately, the shadows of the trees were dancing and the moonlight was hazy, so the person opposite could not be seen clearly.

Changing the subject decisively, "I will accompany my adoptive father in secret during this expedition. Princess, don't worry."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xiaohan. I'm afraid it's not going to be good for dad this time. You should be more careful." Shangguan Ruoli was still a little worried about Qu Xiaohan.

But it must be reasonable for Shangguan Tianxiao to trust Qu Xiaohan so much despite knowing his identity.

After all, Shangguan Tianxiao grew up watching Qu Xiaohan, so he should know him very well.

Qu Xiaohan is such a shrewd and sensitive person, so he naturally guessed Shangguan Ruoli's thoughts, "Princess, you're welcome, I treat my adoptive father as my biological father. I will repay you with my life for the kindness of saving and raising you."

His expression was firm and serious, and his eyes were clear and clear.

Shangguan Ruoli was moved for a moment and said extremely sincerely: "Thank you! You should also pay attention to your own safety. I hope you all return safely and unscathed!"

"I've written it down!" Qu Xiaohan's eyes gradually deepened, as if a thousand kinds of tenderness and reluctance slowly flowed out.

It was as if the little girl who secretly sent him on his expedition was back.

However, this girl has never belonged to him.

"I'm going back first. It's cool here. You should go back earlier. No matter what happens, remember that there is still... foster father."

Qu Xiaohan wanted to say that she still had him, but she swallowed her words.

"Yeah," Shangguan Ruoli responded softly.

Qu Xiaohan glanced at her with great nostalgia, and even though she was reluctant to leave, she stepped on the branch and flew away.

Shangguan Ruoli lay back on the branch again and felt quite emotional in his heart. The original owner's childhood sweethearts were really deeply affectionate. I wonder how Qu Xiaohan would react when he knew that the original owner was dead?

She smiled helplessly, since when had she become so sentimental?

He really looks more and more like the soft bun of the original owner!

Suddenly, there was a vague flute sound.

It's far away, probably outside the house.

The sound of the flute is melodious and melodious, and every note tells the story of lovesickness and melancholy.

Shangguan Ruoli was originally in a bad mood, but when he listened to this piece of music, he felt a bit lonely and desolate in his heart.

I got here inexplicably and couldn't help myself.

There is no one who has the same views and the same way of thinking to communicate with, and of course no one can truly understand her.

"What? You don't want to go back home just because you want to listen to Qu Xiaohan's music?"

In his ears, a cold and resentful voice sounded.

Shangguan Ruo's heart tightened, his throat choked, and he turned his head slightly.

He was still dressed like Yuan Hao and had not changed his clothes. He must have just come out of the small courtyard not long ago.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "I guess Yuan Daxia will not be so happy in his busy schedule."

Dongming Ziyu was slightly startled, and a flash of doubt flashed in his cold eyes, "Have I offended you?"

He was shocked by the indifference and alienation in Shangguan Ruoli's eyes. It was the way she usually looked at strangers when she was angry. She was calm and kept strangers away.

"I don't dare," Shangguan Ruoli said calmly, but his expression was not as cautious and respectful as a married woman should be.

She sat up, narrowed her eyes slightly, and suppressed her emotions, "I think we should have a good talk."

His voice was calm and indifferent, as if he was negotiating with someone.

"Okay!" He cherished his words like gold, jumped lightly, came to the branch where Shangguan Ruoli was sitting, sat down next to her unceremoniously, and then looked at her.

Shangguan Ruoli lowered her eyes and was thinking, and felt Dongming Ziyu's eyes hovering on her face, searching.

After a few seconds of silence, she raised her eyes and looked at him openly, "Dongming Ziyu, since we are married by the Holy Spirit and cannot be divorced, let's be partners. On the surface, I am Princess Xuan, but behind the scenes, we are all

It’s a free body.”

Dongming Ziyu's face showed no emotion or anger, only his eyes were extremely sharp, "Reason."

He looked a little uncomfortable and said perfunctorily, "We don't understand each other and are not suitable for being together."

He was hiding something from her, and she had her own secrets.

After all, there is still no trust. How can a husband and wife live like this if they cannot trust each other?

Shangguan Ruoli doesn't blame Dongming Ziyu now. After all, she didn't tell everything about herself. She just wanted to give each other some time.

Fortunately, I discovered what happened in the small yard today. If the worst case scenario were to happen and I fell in there blankly, I don't know how miserable I would have been.
