unruly princess

Chapter 45

"Your Majesty, we have been out for a while. We should hurry back to the palace! It will be terrible if we are discovered." I said to Dongfang Xuan who was looking at all kinds of interesting things on the street with great interest.

"I haven't played enough yet! After all, how can I not have a good time when I come out?" Dongfang Xuan couldn't understand the uneasiness in my heart at all, and said it so easily? 
"Okay, you can play to your heart's content! Sooner or later you will play with your world." I murmured softly.

"What did you say?" Dongfang Xuan turned around and asked when he heard it.

"You can play, but we can only walk around in this area and don't go to other places. In case something happens, we can mobilize people in time." Although he complained in his heart, he still had to protect his safety.I never thought that I would have such a nagging day, I think I might as well be his personal nanny.

Dongfang Xuan gave a faint "um", a little absent-minded.

"I'm a little tired, find a place to rest!"

"Okay, there is a teahouse in front, let's go there." I said helplessly pointing to the teahouse in front, he is really a troublesome guy!

We had just stepped into the teahouse when a few masked men appeared out of nowhere, stabbing us with swords without saying a word.Looks like we've been targeted.I stood in front of Dongfang Xuan and drew my sword to fight.

The sword I have now was taken by chance when I visited Chu Yuntian's small armory.It's light but extremely sharp and easy to use.As soon as I played against each other, I knew that I was not a simple character, and it was difficult for me to be alone, let alone four or five.

Dongfang Xuan was not in a hurry in this situation, with a calm demeanor.As expected of the emperor, he is very courageous.Not good, several other masked men rushed towards him.I wanted to go to save him, but I was so tightly entangled by my opponent that I couldn't get away.

Dongfang Xuan was not easy to bully, even though he was unarmed, he fought the masked man fearlessly.But two fists are no match for four hands, let alone more than four hands.Dongfangxuan was soon restrained.

This damn bug actually entangled me so tightly, I just watched Dongfang Xuan being tied into the carriage, until the carriage drove a long way, and the masked master who was fighting me stepped aside.

Although he knew that his strength was far from theirs, he still had to go.If something happens to the emperor, I will be the first to be beheaded.Who let him be intercepted under my nose?

I used lightness kung fu to chase forward.It's just that the carriage is running too fast, and the distance between me and them is getting farther and farther.What are these people trying to do?They don't look like they want to take our lives, otherwise we would have been dead on the spot.

But they are absolutely uneasy about what good intentions are.Remembering that all the vassal kings have not left the capital yet, what if they hold the emperor hostage and rebel?Especially when Dongfang Haoyuan's ambitious eyes appeared in my mind, I was even more uneasy.

This won't work, I have to catch up with them quickly.Suddenly, a shining white horse appeared on the opposite side, and any fool could see that it was a good horse.

I was overjoyed, with one ups and downs, I landed firmly on the horse's back, pulled the rein and wanted to go.But he forgot that the horse still has an owner.

"Little brother, this horse is the next one." The voice was like the spring breeze in March, blowing warmly into people's hearts.He stood in front of the horse and held the rein, looking at me with a half-smile.

I looked at the handsome and gentle man in white in front of me, and although I admired him in my heart, I didn't forget the business, "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to borrow, and if I am lucky enough to come back alive, I will come to thank you!" At this time, I don't care about anything else. , pulled the rein vigorously, making it break free from the hand of the man in white, turned the horse's head and chased forward.

The distance between the carriage and me was even further, and I slapped the horse's butt so hard that I wished I could stop in front of the carriage.To my surprise, this horse was really a one-in-a-thousand horse, and it was incredibly fast.

I lay on the horseback, the wind whistled in my ears like clouds and fog.If you run at this speed, you should be able to catch up.Those people seemed to have noticed that I chased them again, and the speed also increased, and the distance that had just been reduced was opened again.It seems that their horse must be one of the best horses in a hundred.

After catching up for a long time, our distance has come a lot closer, but now we are far away from the capital.The farther we go, the worse it is for us, not to mention that no one knows our situation, even if they know, they won't be able to save us in time.

After another period of time, the speed of the carriage in front suddenly slowed down.I was terrified, could it be that they were tired of being chased by me and wanted to kill us in this wilderness.Although the original purpose was to catch up with them, but now they stopped by themselves, which made me feel a little panicked.

Bite the bullet and chase after him, and saw that the carriage had stopped aside.The five masked men in black stood tall like mountains in front of the carriage.

I tightened the sword in my hand, jumped off the horse and walked in front of them, "I advise you to let go of the people in the carriage, or my sword will not spare you." I straightened my waist and said coldly.I hope they can be afraid of my aura and obediently catch them.

However, I think my naive idea is impossible to realize.You see they looked at me without saying a word, with disdain in their eyes.It seems that from the fight just now, they already knew how many catties and ounces I have.

"I know that you all look down on my martial arts, but I still want to advise you to stop in time. If you really get into a big disaster, even if you cut off all nine of your clans, you can't be sorry for the mistakes you are about to make. Atonement." Hurry up and wake up!Brothers!

They seemed shaken because I saw a hesitation in their eyes. "See how you all are very sensible people who would do such a foolish thing! Don't you really care about the lives of your family members and your own future?" I looked serious and spoke righteously.

They seemed even more disturbed after hearing what I said, and some even kept looking back at the carriage.

OK, it worked.As long as I speak louder, I'm not afraid they won't let you go.I cleared my throat, ready to brainwash them further.

Suddenly, "Xiaoyan, stop talking, they are really scared by your words." Dongfang Xuan's smiling voice came from the carriage, and he got out of the carriage as soon as the curtain was lifted.

Seeing that he was fine, the hanging heart fell back to the original place.Wait, what did he mean by what he just said?When the five masked men saw Dongfang Xuan coming down, they saluted respectfully, and the emperor also gently asked them to stand up, without any intention of blaming them at all.what the hell is it?I was dumbfounded.

"What's the matter? Why are you in a daze?" Dongfang Xuan asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, they..." I pointed at those masked men without knowing why, hoping that he could give me an explanation.

"Take off your veils, all of you!"

"Yes!" The five answered in unison.

I stared at them without blinking as they took off their veils, and a wave of anger was gradually rising in my heart.They actually. ． ．He is the emperor's most valued imperial guard, and he has met them several times because he often enters the palace.

good very good!Fortunately, I was still there worrying half to death, it turned out that they were all playing with me!It's so ironic.My hands were shaking with anger.

"Xiaoyan, are you alright?" Dongfangxuan asked cautiously when he saw that my expression was wrong, his tone was no longer as calm as before.

"Dongfangxuan!" Now I'm so angry that I can't describe my current anger. "You still dare to ask me if I'm okay? Is it fun to play with me? Do you think it's very fulfilling to let others worry about you to death? You tried your best to escape from the palace just to let me play with you so boring The game? You've let me down so... so disappointed." I glared at him with fire in my eyes.

Dongfang Xuan looked at me in a daze.And the five imperial guards were even more dumbfounded by my words.If the tiger doesn't show its power, you will treat me as a sick cat!If you want to kill, kill, I will go all out.A soldier can be killed but not humiliated!
"Xiaoyan, I really didn't mean to play tricks on you. I..."

"That's enough," I interrupted him rudely, "I've never heard of pranking and it's not on purpose! Your explanation is really bad! If you want to play games, play here slowly Come on, I'm not going to accompany you." Under my anger, I accidentally slipped my mouth, but it doesn't matter, didn't he already know my identity?

"Ah~, what are you doing?" I turned my head and glared at Dongfang Xuan who grabbed my arm.

"Siyu," there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.Although it was the first time I heard him call me like this, it sounded very natural, not at all unfamiliar as when he called me at first.Suddenly, the body was brought into an embrace by a powerful force, and I smelled the faint fragrance of his body.

"Let go of me! Do you know what you are doing now?" I shouted struggling.Strange, where did the five guards hide?
"I'm very clear! I really didn't know you would be so angry. All I did today was to lure you here. I'm sorry to make you worry."

"Then you don't need to use this method?" I said unconvinced, such a bad reason sent me away.

"If you don't do this, will you come?" Dongfang Xuan said with certainty.I was at a loss for words and couldn't answer.He really knows me.

"Why did you do this?" My anger subsided a little, and my voice dropped.

Dongfang Xuan pushed me away and looked straight into my eyes. "This may be the last chance for me to be alone with you." I wanted to speak in surprise, but he preempted me.

"I know in my heart that there is no way between me and you. But I still like you uncontrollably. You can't imagine how sad I was when I knew you were my cousin's new wife? It was my own hand Pushing my beloved woman to another man. I often think that if I strongly opposed it at that time, you might not marry my cousin, and you might even participate in this draft. Maybe we... ."

"Impossible!" I interrupted him, "It is impossible for me to share a man with others, and there are so many women. This is something I will never be able to bear." My tone was extremely firm, and the toothbrush and man It is my principle not to share with others.

"I have always known that you are special and your ideas are shocking. But I never thought you would be so stubborn. You must know that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone an emperor. Even your husband, I My cousin may also marry another woman in the long years to come." Dongfang Xuan seemed unable to accept my statement.

"He dares!" As soon as I heard that my anger rose suddenly, the words were already out of my mouth unconsciously.Seeing Dongfang Xuan's thoughtful eyes, I stared back unceremoniously, without the slightest bit of shame he thought I should have.

"Why didn't he dare? You must know that a man can marry whoever he wants, and a wife cannot interfere." Dongfang Xuan stared at me closely.

"If he really likes me, he won't do this." Although I said so, I didn't have enough confidence.

"Like it? How long can you like it? Maybe, when you are young and beautiful, he can stop looking for other women, but in the future! When you are old and youthful, can you guarantee that he will still like you as before? ?” Dongfang Xuan had a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

What he said really hit me a lot. Could it be that Chu Yuntian only likes my appearance?When I think of this, my heart starts to throb.Why can't I get real love, do I really have nothing but my looks?This is the first time I hate this face so much.

Seeing that I was in a trance, Dongfang Xuan wanted to help me.I opened his hand, "Don't touch me! You only talk about others, what about you! You like this face too! I knew it would be like this." I smiled, and the smile was very sad.Zhanyuan, it's not that I don't do what you say.It's just that I'm afraid that no one in this world loves me like you do.I may be doomed to be alone forever.

"No, no. You are beautiful, but you are not so beautiful that you can surpass anyone. Like Concubine Yu and Lin Wanjun, can you say that you are more beautiful than them? But I only like you, no Because of your appearance, but because of you. I like your unrestrained, free and easy, like your strong soul under the weak appearance. I like your anger, I like your ignorance and even your Overbearing. Many, many...I like them all. Even I don't understand why? As long as you want, I can abandon everything and be with you..."

"No, don't say any more." I shook my head and interrupted him, unable to bear to see his eyes turn from excitement to sadness. "Are you really going to give up the great country? Abandon the mother who gave birth to you and raise you, and those beautiful relatives of you? Even if you are willing now, you will regret it in the future. You are really willing to let your country fall into In someone else's hands?"

It is undeniable that I am indeed very excited.I am also very yearning to go wandering in the rivers and lakes, touring mountains and rivers with my beloved.But his feelings are too heavy, and I can't bear it.He has too many responsibilities.Although he is young, he governs the country well and is a rare good emperor.How could I have the heart to snatch him away in front of so many people who need him!

I believe he is just impulsive, after all, it is too difficult to give up Jiangshan.Otherwise, why would so many people want to be the emperor!I never believed that there would be that kind of people in the world who only want beauty but not country.

Sure enough, after listening to my words, although he looked a little depressed, he was not very disappointed.Even a little fortunate.I think he is also annoyed why he said those words!Impulse is the devil, and there is nothing wrong with it.However, it is not easy to say these words even on the spur of the moment.

"Your Majesty, we have been out for such a long time. I am afraid they will find that you are no longer in the palace. In order to avoid more troubles, let's go back!" I persuaded softly, I believe that the Emperor is also planning to go back now!It's just that I was full of words just now, so I'm sorry to change my mind immediately.Take this opportunity to give him a step down.

Dongfangxuan hesitated for a moment, and then said after a while: "That's fine! If you don't go back to your mother, I'm afraid the queen will be furious. I just have one request before going back." When Dongfangxuan mentioned this, a coy look appeared on his face.

"Say it!" As long as you promise to go back, everything will be easy to handle.

"I want to hug you again, is that okay?" The emperor looked at me expectantly, but there was no such heart-wrenching sadness just now.

I laughed, it seemed that he seemed to let go. "Okay." I didn't wait for him to hug me, I took the initiative to meet him and hug him, maybe this is the last intimate contact between us.

He hugged me excitedly, as if he wanted to leave something for himself.

"Oops!" I exclaimed, pushing him away.

"What?" He was a little dissatisfied and I suddenly pushed him away.

"I didn't ask the name and address of the person who lent me the horse. How can I return it to him?"
