"My subordinates pay homage to the princess and have met Mr. Zhou." The guards at the door bowed in unison.
"If I, the Commander, want to go out, please get out of your way." Xia Jingyan said.
The guards looked at each other in disbelief and did not move aside. The princess was not allowed to leave the house at will. This was a rule set by Xia Jingsheng. Who dared to violate it?
But the guards also thought that they couldn't afford to offend Xia Jingyan.
"My princess is accompanied by Mr. Zhou. What could happen? If you are still worried, in the worst case, go into the palace now and tell Brother Wang." Xia Jingyan looked down at the guards.
The guards looked at each other and thought about it. Zhou Ranzhuo was Xia Jingyan's savior and his most beloved person. Zhou Ranzhuo would not let anything happen to Xia Jingyan again. Thinking of this, the guards stepped aside.
Outside the door, a carriage stopped not far away. Gu Yun looked towards the door of the mansion. He was riding a black horse, ready to go.
Surrounded by bustling people, everyone was chatting, laughing and having fun. Xia Jingyan really envied the fireworks outside the house. She thought more than once, how nice it would be if she and her brothers were children from ordinary families?
"Ranzhuo, have you ever felt that the royal family and the common people are like birds in a golden cage and birds in the woods? The birds outside the cage envy the golden bird for its fine clothes and fine food.
I envy the freedom of the birds in the forest."
Xia Jingyan looked at the hustle and bustle outside the mansion, and then looked at the coldness inside the mansion. People in the mansion had to bow before saying a word. After all, it was not like it was like outside the mansion. The people were close to each other, but there were so many etiquette barriers.
?
Zhou Ranzhuo looked at Xia Jingyan and suddenly felt that she had changed a lot in an instant.
"You see, the people don't say a word or salute once. I said I never pay attention to etiquette. But you see, in front of outsiders, I will never call my eldest brother Wang Xiong. After all these years,
I'm used to it." Xia Jingyan sighed, "I have to argue like this even when I go out."
"Yan'er..." Zhou Ranzhuo wanted to comfort Xia Jingyan, but didn't know what to say, so he could only pat her on the shoulder.
"Let's go." Xia Jingyan changed his smile again and took Zhou Ranzhuo's hand, "Mr. Gu is still waiting for us."
"Okay." Zhou Ranzhuo smiled and walked towards the carriage with Xia Jingyan.
Along the way, Xia Jingyan admired the prosperity of the market.
Everyone said that the palace was good, that the people in the palace were dressed in gold and silver, and that the courtyard of the palace was full of flowers. But no one had ever thought about whether the masters in the palace had the leisure and leisure to appreciate all these flowers.
They are all hanging on to their lives.
"Yan'er, I want to tell you something."
After traveling to the wilderness, the beautiful scenery outside the car disappeared. Xia Jingyan sat back in the car safely, and Zhou Ranzhuo had time to say a word to Xia Jingyan.
He needed to reveal the wound on his arm.
"What's the matter?" Xia Jingyan looked at Zhou Ranzhuo. She was worried that Zhou Ranzhuo would mention the bottle of wine in the morning.
Xia Jingyan didn't know how to explain it.
Zhou Ranzhuo was not in a hurry to answer, but immediately untied his clothes without any expression on his face.
"Ranzhuo, what are you doing..." Xia Jingyan was a little flustered, and turned away shyly, not daring to look.
Zhou Ranzhuo didn't say anything, he just took off his shirt and exposed the wound on his left arm.
Xia Jingyan said he didn't want to look, but he still secretly glanced through his fingers. Seeing the bright red color on Zhou Ranzhuo's left arm, Xia Jingyan moved his hand away suddenly and his eyes widened.
The wound was definitely a stab wound, and the wound was very fresh. Coupled with the tone of Zhou Ranzhuo's words just now, Xia Jingyan already had the answer in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became more sparkling.
"Yan'er, I admit that it was me who followed you that night, and I was the one who fought with you. I also heard what was said in the prison, and I acknowledge all of it."
"Why!" Xia Jingyan suddenly became excited, but he still tried his best not to do anything.
"I'm just worried about you!" Zhou Ranzhuo forcefully pulled Xia Jingyan into his arms. Even if Xia Jingyan resisted, he would not let go.
"Yan'er, I love you. I just heard that you and Zhao Qichen went out. I couldn't worry about you, so I followed. I didn't know why the three dead men said that. I didn't know how to communicate with you at that time.
Please explain, I was afraid that you would misunderstand me... so I ran away, and I was worried that you would blame me..."
Zhou Ranzhuo really used all the "Eighteen Martial Arts", I just hope Xia Jingyan doesn't blame him.
"I really don't know, I don't know, I'm just an ordinary customer, why would someone target me like this..."
Xia Jingyan calmed down and looked up at Zhou Ranzhuo. There were tears in his eyes, and they were falling down.
This was not a show, Zhou Ranzhuo felt as if his heart was about to be torn apart. Although Xia Jingyan only said two short words "why", it still made Zhou Ranzhuo's heart turbulent.
But later on, he started lying again.
"Yan'er, the Kingdom of Zhou has long been destroyed. If there are any remnants of the Kingdom of Zhou, they will be damned..."
Zhou Ranzhuo had no choice but to lie. To save his own life and the lives of his people, he could only lie.
Zhou Ranzhuo was afraid. If one day he really defeated the Yuan Kingdom and destroyed the Xia family, what would happen to Xia Jingyan?
It must be that the liver and intestines are broken, right?
Xia Jingyan somewhat believed it. She couldn't see her beloved crying. In order to comfort Zhou Ranzhuo, Xia Jingyan returned to his arms.
What Xia Jingyan always thinks about is that she can bear all the pain with her whole body, and she only wants her relatives to be healthy and her loved ones to be healthy and safe.
The fleeting warmth could not satisfy Zhou Ranzhuo. Zhou Ranzhuo put his arms around Xia Jingyan's shoulders and held her close to him. Their tongues were intertwined. Zhou Ranzhuo bit her lips lightly and refused to let go for a long time.
.
"Okay Ranzhuo..." It took too long, and Xia Jingyan was almost out of breath, so she pushed Zhou Ranzhuo away, leaned on Zhou Ranzhuo's shoulder, and breathed heavily into his neck.
Zhou Ranzhuo grabbed Xia Jingyan's hand and refused to let go.
"Then where are we going?" Xia Jingyan asked.
The carriage had already left for an hour. After walking for such a long time, it would be leaving Yingdu in a while. Xia Jingyan was a little confused and asked.
"Nanjiang." Zhou Ranzhuo responded and kissed Xia Jingyan's forehead.
"Nanjiang?" Xia Jingyan raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Ranzhuo in surprise.
Zhou Ranzhuo's expression was very calm, and he stroked Xia Jingyan's hair.
Seeing Zhou Ranzhuo's calmness, Xia Jingyan became less alert and didn't ask any more questions. Zhou Ranzhuo wouldn't harm her anyway.
Xia Jingyan relaxed a little and leaned on Zhou Ranzhuo's shoulder, but he was still thinking in his mind.
If Zhou Ranzhuo had no doubts, they would naturally still be able to love each other, but if...
Don't blame your subordinates for being merciless.
"Zhou Ranzhuo, I hope I can still trust you." Xia Jingyan thought to himself and clenched his fists.
