Chapter 20
The journey was not easy, getting up early and staying overnight, and walking in the snow, but no one complained.After passing through Yecheng and heading south for a day, the weather gradually warmed up and the river channel was smooth.In order to save time and energy, everyone diverted to the waterway.Chartered a boat at Yuanfang Wharf and sailed straight to Zhaojing.If the sailing from Yuanfang to the capital is smooth, it only takes three days, which is a few days faster than the land route, but there is a dangerous part of the journey that often causes accidents, so generally there are no urgent matters and few people are willing to take the boat.

This time when Murong Jinghe came to Beijing, he only brought Qing Yan and Yue Qin with him, while Muye Luomei still brought her two female guards, and it seemed a bit awkward for Mei Lin and the ghoul to follow.At that time, Murong Jinghe was a little surprised when he saw the ghoul, and asked him what he could do.Qing Yan just lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, the ghoul could only scratch his head and say in a low voice that he could drive away corpses and knew some voodoo techniques, so Murong Jinghe stopped talking.As for Mei Lin, he didn't look at her from beginning to end, as if she really had nothing to do with him.

Tiger Wing Seventeen Riders did not follow, they had already left Jingbei one step earlier, and no one knew where they were going except Murong Jing and him.

Because I was in a hurry to hurry, there were very few people talking to each other during the ride, so everything was fine.After boarding the ship, Mei Lin stayed in the cabin all day and rarely went out, so there was almost no chance to meet Murong Jing and Mu Ye Luo Mei.There are quite a few rooms on the boat, except for the two maids of Muye Luomei and the Yueqin ghoul who share the same room, the other four people share one room.Ever since Meilin and Qingyan got married, they have never had intercourse for a single day.But Qing Yan and Yue Qin would come to her room to sit and talk to her in their free time.

Yue Qin still couldn't figure out the matter of Mei Lin marrying Qing Yan, so he asked as soon as he found an opportunity.

Mei Lin liked Yue Qin, although he didn't intend to hide it from him, but he didn't know what to say about it, he obviously planned to follow Murong Jing all the time, so naturally he couldn't let him feel dissatisfied with that person.She thought for a while, dipped in water and wrote: Qingyan is very good.

Yue Qin stared at that word for a long time in a daze, the scene of Murong Jing and crushing the teacup that day floated in his mind, and he couldn't help murmuring: "But... Lord, he likes you very much."

Meilin froze, and turned away slightly.

Outside the window, the cliffs are cut, the mist is floating, and the apes are crying like wounds.

Yue Qin stared blankly at the corners of her eyebrows, suddenly felt sad for no reason, and was about to say something when he saw her turn around with a smile on her lips.

He is the master and I am the slave.She said, and then added to Yue Qin's puzzled gaze: don't say this again in the future.

Yue Qin was still dizzy until he left, he was innocent by nature, how could he have imagined that there would be so many twists and turns.Until I saw Murong Jing and Mu Ye Luomei who were enjoying the scenery intimately on the deck, it seemed that I had been enlightened, and the whole person was instantly transparent.

Probably because he was captured and played as prey before, he still couldn't develop a good impression of Makino Luomei.At this time, because of Meilin's relationship, I hated it even more in my heart. Immediately, my head became hot, and I walked over slowly.

Murong Jinghe really liked him, when he saw him, he beckoned him to pass.

"Qin Zi, why don't you come and see how the land of Dayan compares with your Nanyue?"

Yueqin first saluted the two of them in a polite manner, then casually glanced at the dangerous peaks on both sides of the bank, and replied respectfully: "Master Hui, I think the mountains and the water are the same, I can't tell them apart."

"Oh?" Murong Jinghe couldn't help showing interest, and smiled, "Since they are the same, why should we divide you into Nanyue and Dayan? Why don't we become a family?"

Hearing this, Muye Luomei was startled, but when she looked over, she saw that his eyes were full of sarcasm, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether he was teasing Yue Qin or really meant it.If Mei Lin was here, there would definitely not be such doubts.

Yue Qin was obviously stunned by this question. He raised his hand and scratched his head. After a while, he frowned and said in distress: "Of course it's good to form a family. There's no need to fight. But who will be the emperor?"

Looking at his wrinkled little face, Murong Jinghe couldn't help being happy, and stretched out his hand to rub his head, "Okay, it's not your turn to worry about this. You are sneaking around there. What bad thing do you want to do?"

It was rare for Muye Luomei to see him pampering other people so much, she was surprised, and couldn't help but look at Yue Qin a few more times.Seeing that although she is thin and small, she is handsome and handsome, especially her eyes are black and clear, extremely agile, and she starts to think wildly again for a while. Obviously, the turmoil between Murong Jing and her private life in the past five years has cast a shadow on her heart.

Yue Qin had a pure mind, although he felt that she was looking at him strangely, he couldn't think of where to go.Hearing Murong Jing's questioning, he hit his chest and smiled so much that he showed two small canine teeth.

"Master, the little one was here just now...Mei...Miss Meilin was talking there for a while, and was about to go back to the room. Seeing that Master and General Muye were up there, I wanted to come over to see if Master had any orders."

Murong Jinghe's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word Meilin, but he soon noticed that Yueqin had changed his name, and when he was thinking about the intention behind it, he heard Muye Luomei say: "She is already a married woman, even if she married only A eunuch can't be called a girl."

Hearing the sarcasm in those words, when Murong Jing and Side Mou looked over, they saw the corners of her lips twitching contemptuously, and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable for a while, and their complexion sank.

Yue Qin was even more annoyed, but he also knew that he couldn't offend this person, so he completely ignored him immediately, still looking at Murong Jinghe, and said with a sense of anger: "Master, the younger one is still used to being called Mei, Miss Meilin, Miss Meilin , Miss Meilin..."

Murong Jinghe was so amused by his childish behavior that he burst into laughter, his gloom vanished, and when he saw Muye Luomei's face livid with anger, he felt a little out of control, coughed dryly, and pretended to turn around to look at it. mountain scenery.

"You can call her whatever you like, she..." When he said this word, his original relaxed mood suddenly sank, and he said lightly, "She definitely won't mind." In fact, he was I like this title very much.

With Murong Jinghe's permission, Yue Qin couldn't help feeling complacent, and glanced at Mu Ye Luo Mei as if in a demonstration, and almost stopped dancing.Makino Luomei couldn't really care about a child like him, so she snorted coldly, angrily left the two of them and went back to the cabin.

Murong Jinghe didn't look back, he seemed to be intoxicated by the scenery and forgot everything around him.

Looking at his back, Yue Qin couldn't help but think of Mei Lin's expression when he looked sideways out of the window before, and vaguely felt that the two people had similar feelings, which made him feel sore and uncomfortable.

The further south we went, the snow stopped falling, but the rain started to increase. In the afternoon, it began to rain, and it didn't stop until the evening.

The three meals were originally settled in their own rooms, and Murong Jing and Ba Ba had served the Qing banquet, but when they returned to the room, they found that there were already people inside.Push the door open, and at a glance, there is a hot hot pot on the table, as well as several common side dishes.

"Brother Manager is finally back!" Yue Qin's cheers sounded first, and then a small face approached, grabbed him and pulled him towards the table, "Hurry up, my stomach is almost flattened by hunger." At the same time, he kicked the door shut without looking back.

Mei Lin was sharing bowls and chopsticks for everyone with a smile. The ghoul was originally holding a bowl to refill food. When he saw him, his hands trembled involuntarily, and he stopped, with a nervous look on his face, as if he was afraid of being blamed by him. Entered his room with consent.

Qing Yan never thought that someone would wait for him when he returned to his room. In the past, the room was always deserted, and he seemed to be used to it, but now he suddenly felt his nose a little sour, and there seemed to be warmth fermenting in his heart.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, the ghoul couldn't help but panic, put down the bowl and wanted to go forward, but didn't dare.

"Eating alone always feels very pitiful." Yue Qin was excited to eat with everyone, but he didn't notice the strange expressions of the two of them, so he quickly explained.Originally, he was a little afraid of Qing Yan, the general manager who usually shows no emotions and always likes to look at people with superior eyes.But because of his relationship with Mei Lin, he couldn't help being more affectionate, "I like to be lively, the more people there are, the better. Don't be angry, Brother Manager, this is my idea, and Brother Ghost is also brought in by me. "It turned out that Yue Qin just brought food to Mei Lin to eat with him. Mei Lin thought that the food would be cold when Qing Yan returned to his room, so he thought it would be better to eat hot pot with several people, so Yue Qin even dragged the ghoul away. Come.

Qing Yan withdrew the seriousness from his face, showed a faint smile, and said: "It's so good, I haven't eaten with anyone for many years." Saying that, he sat down next to Meilin, and took the cup from her hand. After passing the chopsticks, I took the initiative to put a few slices of tofu into the pot.

Seeing this, the ghoul also relaxed.After adding food, he held it in both hands and handed it to him respectfully.

Qing Yan took it, pondered for a while, and then said: "You are not my subordinate, there is no need to be so."

"Yeah, Brother Ghost, if you want to restrain yourself like this, the food won't taste good." Yue Qin laughed and joked on the sidelines.

The ghoul blushed at the words, and after a few words, he was no longer as trembling as he was at the beginning.On the contrary, with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, seeing that Qing Yan's ears were slightly reddened, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.She couldn't figure out how these two people got together, but if they were sincere, there would be nothing wrong with it.

Yue Qin was an orphan.After the ghoul delivered the letter to the palace, Qing Yan sent people to his house to investigate, and what he got was the news that his parents had both died and his wife had remarried long ago.All in all, the four present are all lonely people. Although they come from different backgrounds and identities, they don't feel out of place when they get together now.

Meilin couldn't speak, Qing Yan had already developed a habit of eating without talking, and the ghoul was dull and silent, so only Yue Qin was heard chattering non-stop, which was considered lively.

While eating, the door was knocked suddenly, and the next moment, it was pushed open.

"Qingyan..." Murong Jinghe's shouts sounded at the same time, but they stopped abruptly when they saw the scene inside the door clearly.

At that time, Meilin was pinching fish fillets for the Qing banquet, Yue Qin was piled meat and vegetables into the stiff bowl of the ghoul, and the ghoul was in a hurry to avoid but did not dare to dodge. Some froze.

Qing Yan was the first to react, hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up, blocking Mei Lin without a trace.

"Master." He was a little puzzled, it was his meal time, and he didn't know what could make the prince come to look for him in person.But even so, he was still ready to go out without the slightest hesitation.

However, Murong Jinghe stepped in.

"Let's talk after you finish eating." He said, and he walked to Qingyan's bed and sat down.There are no extra chairs in the house, and there is nowhere to sit except the bed.

The other three people were relieved at this moment, and they all stood up quickly.

Murong Jinghe signaled them to continue and leave him alone.But how can Qingyan really ignore it, and immediately went to make a pot of hot tea for him, and then returned to the table.

With such a great god watching covetously, how could the four of them be as casual as they were at the beginning, the atmosphere couldn't help but become a little stiff, and even Yue Qin, who liked to talk non-stop, fell silent, except for the more cramped corpse from time to time. Except for the ghost pickled vegetables, they just eat it fast.

Meilin happened to have her back facing the bed, and the feeling was even more obvious, as if her whole body was being scorched by a raging fire, she couldn't sit still, and couldn't swallow food.

After a while, Qing Yan couldn't hold back anymore, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at the man who was drinking tea slowly and poisoning them with his eyes under the suspicious eyes of Mei Lin and the others.

"I'm done eating, you guys go back to rest after eating, you don't need to clean up." He said softly to Mei Lin, his eyes were full of comfort, he stood up and said, "Master, let's go out and talk."

"It doesn't matter, it's the same if you say it here." Murong Jing and He sat firmly on the mountain, with no intention of moving, and there was a faint look of anger in their eyes.

Qing Yan understood that Cai Cai's actions offended this master, but he did not deny that he did it on purpose.Glancing at Mei Lin who had lowered her eyes and hadn't shown a smile since the prince came in, she sighed in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.He had no choice but to walk over and block the gazes of Murong Jing and Ruoyou Shiwu for her.

Murong Jing and a faint sneer appeared on the corners of his lips, he naturally saw Qingyan's intentions, he didn't say anything, he just said lightly: "From tomorrow onwards, we all go to the hall to eat, don't stay in this little place anymore In the cabin, so as not to say that the king treats his servants poorly."

The Qing banquet should be done properly, and I thought: Is this why you came in person?Lord, you are making too much of a fuss.

Yue Qin looked up at the blank-eyed Mei Lin and the bewildered ghoul, couldn't help his talkative temper, answered with a smile, "Do you mean to let the younger ones eat with you?" Although he I have learned the rules these days, but I am used to it from Xiaoye, no one taught me, the sense of dignity in my nature is not that serious, and I have more admiration and respect for Murong Jing than fear.

Qing Yan frowned slightly, and was about to reprimand him for not knowing the rules, but unexpectedly Murong Jinghe laughed.

"What's the matter? Then from tomorrow onwards, let's have dinner with this king."

Yue Qin was dumbfounded, secretly watching Mei Lin's tight lips, feeling annoyed in his heart, wishing he could slap himself.It's just that I want to regret it now, but I can't.

The rain has not stopped, and by the second day, not only has it not weakened, but it has a tendency to intensify.

Yue Qin is from Nanyue. According to him, Nanyue often has this kind of weather, so he is not used to it at all. He wanders around the cabin all day long, and often runs to the deck in the rain, like a monkey. There seems to be no time to stop.

But the boatman's face is not very good.He said that in the evening he would pass through the beach, where the water was originally strong and undercurrents, and he had to be more careful when passing by. Now that it has been raining all day and night, it will be even more dangerous.The only solution for now is to speed up and get there in the afternoon, so as to reduce the danger of crossing the beach by daylight.No one can help with this kind of thing, and the others simply don't bother to worry about it.

Mei Lin has always been cautious, after hearing this, she went to the boatman and asked for some oiled paper, packed her own clothes, Qing Yan's and the other four's clothes separately, and stuffed a fire bag in everyone's bags just in case. one.As for Murong Jing and Mu Ye Luo Mei, it's really not her turn to worry about it.

Seeing this, Qing Yan thought about it, and decided to be more careful, so he did the same for Murong Jing and important things.Murong Jinghe was a little strange when he saw it, so he asked casually, and heard that this overly cautious approach came from Mei Lin, so he gave up the idea of ​​making fun of him, his heart was soft and sore for a while, and he still had some jealousy that he couldn't express.

"She's always so careful..." He murmured in a voice only he could hear, and after he finished speaking, his eyes fell outside the window of the boat where the rain was like beads. Recalling the past, his eyes couldn't help being clouded.

Qing Yan raised her head and glanced at him, said nothing, and couldn't say anything.

Sure enough, they gathered together during lunch, and it hasn't been so lively since leaving Jingbei.According to Murong Jinghe's intentions, everyone ate at the same table, regardless of seniority, even the two female guards from Muye Luomei were called to sit in together.

Makino Luomei felt a little strange, she also ate and slept with the soldiers when she was marching and fighting, it was not unbearable, but she could see Mei Lin when she raised her eyes, she always felt uncomfortable.Even she herself didn't understand, why did she just dislike this woman?Is this a natural offense?
Mei Lin didn't care about her thoughts, because Qing Yan had to serve Murong Jinghe, and she had to sit beside Qing Yan, so there was only one person separated from Murong Jinghe.This was nothing at first, she thought that she had nothing to do with him, so she didn't have to avoid it deliberately.It's just that whenever she sees that Qing Yan can't eat much because of serving him, and she can't help but put some food in Qing Yan's bowl, she will feel that the hand holding the food is like being stared at by a fierce beast, and a sense of danger arises spontaneously .

For this reason, she was very annoyed, and said to herself that you are not my master now, and I can do whatever I like.So with the trembling feeling all over his body, he clamped more vigorously, and after a while, the bowl of Qingyan was piled up like a hill.

"That's enough, Amei." The others didn't say anything, and Qing Yan felt embarrassed first.

Meilin raised her head just in time to see the gloomy eyes of the ghoul, felt inexplicably guilty, and saw the chicken leg that he had held in the bowl for a long time but hadn't touched, suddenly stood up, leaned over, picked it up, and put it in the Qingyan bowl .It's just that the bowl of Qingyan was already full and couldn't put it in. She was stunned for a while, and wanted to put some of those vegetables into her own bowl, but there was still something on the chopsticks.

Everyone at the table was dumbfounded by her actions, even Yue Qin couldn't help but dropped his chopsticks in shock, bent down to pick them up and didn't get up for a long while, only saw the chair he was sitting on clucking. trembling.The ghoul sitting next to him didn't notice it, and looked at the chicken leg nervously from beginning to end.

This scene was so weird, Murong Jinghe couldn't help but chuckled, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up all the dishes from the Qingyan bowl into his own bowl.The chicken leg held by Meilin finally fell somewhere, but at the same time, everyone's jaws also fell.Yue Qin, who had just got up, groaned again and slipped down.

Qing Yan was a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to take Murong Jing and anything else, so he could only stare at the ghoul opposite, but still lowered his head and picked up the chicken leg and started to eat.He thought to himself: There are so many dishes in my grandfather's bowl, most likely I don't need to serve them myself.

Seeing this, the ghoul relaxed his tense nerves and smiled foolishly.

Because Qing Yan lowered his body, Murong Jing and his dignified, straight-eyed, eating gracefully, as well as Makino's livid face and sharp gaze fell into Mei Lin's eyes without any cover.She was stunned, then silently lowered her head, and started eating sullenly, not serving food to anyone anymore.

Snapped!The sound of chopsticks hitting the table shook people's hearts.

"I never knew that you still have the habit of sharing food with slaves. You are really approachable as a prince." Muye Luomei sneered, breaking the silence at the table.

These words were obviously mixed with guns and sticks, not to mention Murong Jing's reconciliation, even Qing Yan's expression changed.Meilin couldn't help but clenched the chopsticks in her hands tightly, suppressing the grief and anger in her heart, she knew she couldn't cause trouble for Qing Yan.In the past, she was Murong Jinghe's slave and had to endure it, but now she is Qing Yan's wife in name, so she still has to endure it.After all, you have to be patient like this all your life...

"Qing Yan has been with this king since he was a child, and his relationship with this king is closer than that of brothers. Let alone eating a bowl of food together, when this king was trapped and seriously injured and unable to eat, he still relied on him to use dry food that was as hard as a rock. Only when the saliva softens can I save this king's life." Murong Jinghe put down the bowl, calmly and honestly, with a dignified displeasure in his tone, "Now I'm just eating some of the food in his bowl, why make a fuss?" After finishing speaking, he suddenly He paused and smiled, "Luomei, the word slave is not something that anyone can call casually." This sentence already had a warning meaning.

Except for Qing Yan who lowered his head and continued to gnaw the chicken legs in silence without any expression, everyone else was stunned by Murong Jing and these words.It was the first time that the ghoul and Yue Qin saw him showing the majesty of the prince. He was obviously amiable, but it made people feel chills involuntarily.Mei Lin was the one who had seen the most faces, so she didn't feel much about it, but she never thought that Murong Jing and He Yuan would attach so much importance to Qing Yan.Among them, Makino Luomei was the most surprised.

She was annoyed at Murong Jinghe for refusing her face in public for a servant, but at the same time, she was heartbroken by his rare domineering arrogance, and she was in a mess for a while.

At this moment, the hull of the boat shook violently, and the cups and plates on the table collided crisply. The people sitting there couldn't help but stretch out their hands to hold on to the table to avoid the embarrassment of falling.

The boatman hurried in.

"In and out of the mudflat."

From the flatlands, nine beaches and eighteen bends, ten miles are different days.What this means is that the flatland is composed of nine beaches, and there will be eighteen turns in just ten miles, and the climate will change drastically.

It has been raining for days, the beach is narrow and the water is fast, and the undercurrent is raging. When turning the second bend, the stern of the boat was swept to the towering rocks nearby, and a large piece was broken.Even though the helm and oarsmen were all veterans, they couldn't help but feel their palms sweating at this moment.

Mei Lin was sitting on the bed in her own room, clutching the bundle in her hands, and calmly listening to the movement from the ship.It is probably due to habit. When she may face danger, she likes to be prepared as much as possible, and she never takes chances.

On the contrary, other people, what to do, no one is as close to the enemy as she is.Yue Qin even ran to the deck to watch the thrilling scene of the big ship fighting against the rapids.

It was afternoon at this time, and Qing Yan stayed by Murong Jinghe's side as before.And Murong Jing and Makino Luomei discussed the frontier war together.Makino Luomei's female guard was also there, ready to answer the seemingly ordinary but tricky questions they raised from time to time.

It was inconvenient for the ghouls to go in, so they crouched outside their door.

The accident happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.The undercurrent intertwined at the bottom of the water tore the big ship that was smashed on the mountain wall and broke its keel into several pieces, and then entangled and pulled down.

Mei Lin wanted to rush towards the cabin door at the moment when she felt something was wrong, but before she even started, she felt a whirlwind and rolled towards the door.Without thinking about it, she grabbed the bedpost, hung the burden on her shoulders, and jumped out of the window.The violent wind and rain blew her body to one side, and when she tried to land again, she found that there was no shadow of the boat under her feet except for the turbulent turbulence.Not far ahead, half of the hull could be seen floating and sinking, but she was unable to jump over it, and could only "plop" into the icy cold water.At the same time, exclamations of falling into the water sounded from all around. It was obvious that no one on board was spared.

The torrent rushed up, and it seemed as if countless hands were pulling her down under the water.Although Meilin's water skills were not bad, she was caught off guard and almost got hit. By the time she finally struggled out of the undercurrent and grabbed the nearby mountain wall, she was exhausted.

Looking back to find other people, it was still afternoon, although the rain was heavy, there was still enough light.With her eyesight, she could still recognize the few people she was familiar with among the countless people who were fighting against the rapids.

The first thing I saw was Murong Jinghe, who was holding Makino Luomei with a tense face in one hand, and with the other hand, he was holding on to the part of the ship beside him that hadn't completely sunk to swim to the opposite barren beach.The head of Qingyan popped up in the middle of the river, then sank again after a while, and didn't float up for a long time.Mei Lin was frightened, and when he was about to re-enter the water, he suddenly broke through the water again, carrying the burly body of the corpse on his back.Yue Qin was being carried by two sailors to the shore.The two maids were both holding onto a broken plank floating on the water, their faces turning pale with the current, and several sailors on the ship were swimming towards them.

A burden floated past his eyes, and Mei Lin picked it up with ease.She knew that although this time was thrilling, most people would be fine, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a touch of loneliness quietly enveloped her heart.

There is no one to care about, and no one to care about.Going around, she was still alone after all.

With a bitter smile on her eyes, she hung the two bundles on the slanted branches beside her, and jumped into the water with one of them.There was a voice of exclamation in her ear, but she ignored it, paddled to the center of the river with all her strength, and began to salvage the baggage floating on the water.

When the people on the deserted beach slowly came to their senses, they found that there seemed to be one person missing.

"Where's sister?" Yue Qin lost his voice.

Following his shout, the others immediately realized that Mei Lin was no longer there.Because she has always been quiet and silent, it is easy for people to forget her existence, so even if she disappears, few people will notice immediately.

Most people couldn't help but look at the rushing water with no one there, and they all wanted to go to one place.Yue Qin was so anxious that his eyes were red, he was not good at swimming, and he depended on others to survive, but now he wanted to jump into the water again.

"Don't act recklessly!" Qing Yan scolded, and at the same time jumped up and grabbed Yue Qin's arm, pulling him back.

Yue Qin burst into tears with a "wow", desperately twisting his body to get rid of Qing Yan's iron-like hands.Everyone else was stunned by this scene, especially the boatman, thinking that if someone died, this matter would be troublesome.

Qing Yan was made sour and funny by Yue Qin's childish reaction, slapped him on the head, and said coldly: "Amei is fine, there is no need for you to cry for her."

The crying stopped abruptly, and the speed of retraction and release was breathtaking.Yue Qin raised his hand and wiped his eyes carelessly with his wet sleeve, and was about to ask Qing Yan why he was so sure, when he saw Murong Jing walking towards a white stone by the beach.There are several bundles placed on the white stone, two of them are tightly tied together by an apricot red sachet, and a crooked concentric knot hangs from the tassels under the sachet.

Others may not know it, but Qing Yan can recognize at a glance that the two burdens belong to him and the ghoul.The intention of Meilin tying them together like this could not be more obvious.

Murong Jinghe opened those packages one by one and confirmed their ownership, only the one from Mei Lin was missing.His face was gloomy, and he looked through the rain curtain to the steep cliff opposite.Kicking out with the tip of his toes, he kicked a piece of rotten wood floating by the water towards the center of the river. With a movement of his body, he was about to use his strength to cross the river.

Qing Yan has been paying attention to his reaction, and when he looked at the opposite cliff, he had already pushed Yue Qin to the ghoul who had just recovered from drowning, and his body soared forward, barely blocking his movement of crossing the river.

"Master, let her go." Bite the bullet and meet Murong Jing's cold and violent eyes. Although Qing Yan's face was a little pale due to the cold, her expression was as calm as ever, without revealing any emotion.

The corners of Murong Jing's lips twitched, and he said coldly: "How can you say that she has just married you, can you really allow her to abandon you quietly like this?" The fallen pebbles have been silently turned into powder.

Hearing this, Qing Yan showed a rare smile on his face, glanced at the bundle tightly tied together by the sachet on the white stone, and nodded slowly.Needless to say, although he did not expect Mei Lin to leave so abruptly, but if this is what she wanted, why did he stop it?In fact, he knew in his heart that when the stakes were at stake, if he had to choose between the prince and her, he would definitely choose the prince.And between the ghoul and her, it was obvious that he chose the ghoul.That being the case, how could he have the heart to detain her in the dangerous palace.

Murong Jing stared fixedly at this subordinate who never disobeyed him, for a long time, until someone behind him couldn't help the cold and sneezed twice, then he suddenly turned around.

"what ever."
