Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 7 Nian Nian
The carriage moved slowly forward.

The coachman Xu Yiliu showed the identification card of Magistrate Ma and drove out of the city gate in a swagger.

Xu Jinhuan reached out and pinched his eyebrows.

From the beginning, he always felt like someone was watching him.
The feeling was so mysterious that it made him feel like a thorn in his side.

He glanced out the window suspiciously, and happened to meet Zhao Ruoxi's eyes as she lay with her head resting on the carriage.

Boom——!
There was lightning and thunder outside the carriage.

Only then did he notice that two lines of tears were sliding down the other person's eyes.

"Why are you crying again?"

"I don't know why. I suddenly felt like something important had left."

There was a sound of heavy rain outside the car.

Xu Jinhuan knew that this was not an illusion.

Crown Prince Zhao Jingheng must have died suddenly in the dungeon by now.

And bear the stigma of "committing suicide out of fear of punishment".

"Your Highness, have you ever blamed me?"

"What do you blame me for?"

Zhao Ruoxi's voice was very soft.

This beautiful lady had apparently temporarily gotten rid of the pain in her body, but she seemed even more exhausted.

Xu Jinhuan sighed and said slowly:
"Blame me for not trying to remind you even though I knew everything a long time ago."

Zhao Ruoxi smiled bitterly and shook her head.

“If it were before today, perhaps I would really think so.”

"It's just that only one day has passed, but if I'm not more sensible, I'm afraid even you will give up on me."

"When the time comes, where can I find someone who can see the future and has a clear swordsmanship to help me with revenge?"

Xu Jinhuan was secretly shocked.

I have to admit that apart from being a little willful and capricious, this little girl is growing up very quickly.

Zhao Ruoxi seemed a little tired. She closed her eyes and said to herself:

“I figured it out a long time ago.

Ma Guocheng will not risk his life and property to play along with you in this drama.
As for father and brother
Let’s not talk about the fact that you are just a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. How can you be worthy of seeing the emperor?

Even if you tried your best and really saw me and my father, I'm afraid you would be dragged away and your entire clan would be executed before you could finish your disrespectful words.
Xu Jinhuan."

"Princess, please speak."

"What on earth do the people you serve want to do with me?"

Finally, this moment came. Xu Jinhuan knew that the other party would not have an easy time in the future, and he should let her prepare herself mentally in advance.

“To be honest, my master Ning Caixie is well versed in the art of yin and yang, and has devoted his life to the study of alchemy.

He wants to take your heart's blood and use it to make an elixir to save a vital person.

And this will just completely cure your White Tiger Body."

The carriage bumped along the way.

Xu Jinhuan was talking incessantly and thought that the woman opposite him would feel a little fear.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, she felt relieved.

"fine."

She murmured, leaning her head on her shoulder, her voice becoming softer and softer:
"In fact, whenever I see you, I will think of the death of my father and brother, and everything that happened on this day.
So if one day, I really became the emperor.
If things go wrong, I might kill you first."

Xu Jinhuan smiled helplessly, "You just said you don't blame me."

"Well, I lied to you."

Just as I was about to say something else, I realized that the person next to me was breathing evenly and had fallen asleep.

Outside the carriage, Xu Yilu, who was soaked like a drowned chicken, had a dark face.

The two of them did not deliberately restrain their voices.

He couldn't understand it. They were all kidnappers, so why could his senior brother watch as he was about to trick someone into bed, while he could only wait patiently in front and drive the car?

How unfair is the law of heaven!

"First-class?"

"Senior brother, please speak!"

"We still have half an hour to go. Hang on, we'll stop at the town ahead to rest."

"Okay, Senior Brother, no problem."

Before he could finish his words, the carriage suddenly fell to one side!
The horses neighed, accompanied by unprecedented bumps.

Xu Jinhuan was horrified. He steadied himself and quickly rushed out of the car.

Attacked?
Xu Yiliu, who was on horseback, had his head tilted to one side.

Xu Jinhuan acted decisively, grabbed the man's collar and threw him into the car.

Looking around, the rainy night was slippery, and the horses had lost control, rapidly moving away from the official road and heading straight for a deep ditch on the side. At the critical moment, Xu Jinhuan grabbed the reins and forcibly pulled the suddenly frightened horses back on track.

"Uu——"

After a lot of effort, the horse finally slowly calmed down.

Xu Jinhuan did not urge him, but reached out and gently stroked his back.

It's so strange
If I hadn't happened to talk to Xu Yilu and noticed something was wrong.

If they were a step slower, although the few people would not die, the carriage would definitely be lost.

There was a continuous drizzle and thunderclouds were rolling.

It seems like a huge crisis is brewing.

Looking around, I didn't see anyone.

This is so weird.

Although my junior brother is not very smart, he is at least a second-grade warrior with abundant energy and blood.

How could he suddenly fall asleep while driving?
“La la la la la—”

Hehehehahaha."

The sudden strange sound gave him goosebumps all over his body!

If you listen carefully, it sounds like a group of children laughing and playing.

Boom——

The big raindrops hit my face, but they couldn't cover up the laughter.

As the horse moved forward, the voice in my ears became clearer and clearer:
"Fishing for silver carp with the crescent moon—"

The stars jump around the inkstone,
Grandma scooped up half a spoonful of cloud——

Feed the eaves' jade mirror moss."

The melody is simple and the sound is ethereal, like some kind of nursery rhyme.

When Xu Jinhuan came to his senses again, a courtyard suddenly appeared in front of him.

Candlelight flickers and a gentle breeze blows on your face.

If it weren't for the fact that his soaked clothes were still dripping with water, he would almost suspect that the heavy rain just now was just an illusion.

It’s evil!
The gate of the house was dilapidated and covered with cobwebs, and the area outside the candlelight was pitch black.

Xu Jinhuan did not try to drive away.

He understood that no matter it was an illusion or something else, since the other party had been able to bring him here quietly, it would not be so easy for him to leave.

The two people in the carriage were breathing steadily and sleeping soundly.

Xu Jinhuan thought about it, tied the carriage to a big tree in front of the door, and pushed the door open to go in.

"The bluebird flies with apricot blossoms in its beak—

The white deer comes carrying the morning dew,
The stone bridge turned into a dragon.

Traveling around the world with a full load of dolls——"

A group of children, about seven or eight years old, were laughing and playing around a woman in the yard.

She was wearing a goose yellow long dress and had her back to him, so he couldn't see her face clearly.

The ethereal singing was exactly the same as the one I heard while driving just now.

"Big brother, why are you so wet?"

A little girl with a high bun came up to Xu Jinhuan, raised her head and asked.

"Big brother just now"

"Oh! I see, you were also captured by bad guys!"

She was interrupted mid-sentence. Xu Jinhuan squatted down and rubbed the girl's head with a smile:

"Yes, Big Brother was captured by the bad guys just like you guys!"

"He's lying, Xiaoyu."

The woman singing the nursery rhyme stood up and faced him.

In the moonlight, her hair fluttered gently in the breeze.

His feet were clearly bare, yet he seemed to be completely free of dust.

"I'm sorry to have you come here in this way."

The woman smiled faintly, her eyebrows curved.

At this moment, everything in the world seemed to have lost its color.

"By the way, my name is Niao Niao, Gu Niao Niao."

Her voice was melodious and ethereal, like a clear spring flowing through the mountains.

"Xu Jinhuan."
