At night, listen to the snow in the center.

After Xie Zhichan finished washing up, he sat on the bed and wrung his hair dry with a towel.

Pei Yi walked out of the bathroom, wearing clean underwear that smelled of soapberries. He walked to Xie Zhichan, took the towel from her hand, and continued to twist her hair.

After the hair was almost dried, he pressed his face against Xie Zhichan's profile and his lips lingered on her earlobe.

The atmosphere in the room gradually began to become strange.

Xie Zhichan turned her head and glared at him: "Pei Yi! Do you know that the donkeys in the production team also need to rest? Can't you let me go for one night?" She pointed at the small couch by the window and said: "You sleep there tonight, and reflect on yourself! You have a face that always attracts bad peach blossoms."

Pei Yi thought about it seriously, and asked Xie Zhichan in an inquiring tone: "How about I also make a ghost-faced general mask and wear it on my face, and only take it off when I'm with you in the future. I will only show this face to you, and only to you, my love."

Xie Zhichan said angrily: "Can you be more serious?"

Pei Yi continued to kiss her earlobe, and took the time to say, "The relationship between husband and wife is a serious matter. How am I not serious now?"

Xie Zhichan kicked Pei Yi, rolled into the bed, and said, "Isn't the commotion in the carriage enough? I'm really sleepy and want to sleep. I won't come anymore. You can handle it yourself——"

Pei Yi thought of how Xie Zhichan almost fell down when she got off the carriage when she returned home today, and he carried her back to Tingxueju. After thinking about it, he thought that even if it was sowing, one had to choose good seeds. He might not plant good seeds if he kept sowing one after another, so he decided to let her go.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Liu'er unfolded the note in her hand under the candlelight, took a look at the Rouran words on it, then closed the door, secretly left the Prince of Yan's Mansion through the small door of Tingxueju, and headed towards the post station.

When we arrived at the post station, everything was quiet.

Only the light in the room of the janitor on duty was still on.

Xiao Liu'er thought about it and realized that with his kung fu, if he was discovered by the guards of the post station, he would surely be pierced by thousands of arrows.

He took out the badge of Prince of Yan's Mansion and knocked on the door of the gatekeeper's room. After the person came out, he showed the badge to him and said that the prince of Prince of Yan's Mansion had a gift for the Rouran prince.

Although the gatekeeper was suspicious about what kind of gift would be delivered in the middle of the night, he let the person in when he saw that it was a badge from Prince Yan's Palace.

But he was cautious and called a guard on duty to bring the person directly to the outside of the Rouran prince's room, then waited and brought the person out later.

Xiao Liu'er thought that this saved her a lot of trouble. Otherwise, it would take her a lot of effort to find the Rouran prince's room in this post station by herself.

The guard led Xiao Liu'er to the door of the Rouran prince's room and knocked.

The man in the room asked, "Who?"

The guard replied, "I am a servant from the Prince of Yan's mansion, here to deliver a gift to the prince on behalf of the Prince of Yan."

After a rustling sound was heard in the room, the door opened and the Rouran prince directly welcomed Xiao Liu'er in.

The door closed again.

The guard heard some chatter in the Rouran language, but he couldn't understand what they were saying.

In the room, as soon as the Rouran prince Amugu closed the door, he excitedly asked Xiao Liu'er: "Nana, where have you been? Do you know how long your brother has been looking for you? I'm almost going crazy looking for you."

When Xiao Liu'er saw the person in front of her and heard the familiar voice, her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

"When my brother saw me, he didn't even ask me what happened and why I ended up in Dajin. He just started blaming me."

Seeing his sister crying, Amugu was at a loss for a moment and hurriedly coaxed her, "Okay, then tell your brother what happened in the past few months? Uncle Wang said that you ran away from home because you were angry, but how did you end up in Dajin? And you became a maid of the Crown Prince's Consort in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Did they kidnap you? This is simply too much! You are a dignified Rouran princess, how can you be their slave?"

Xiao Liu'er wiped her tears and shook her head, "No, brother. It was the Crown Prince's Consort who saved me."

She seemed to be remembering something very unpleasant, her eyes were burning with anger, and even her tone was filled with resentment.

"I didn't run away from home because I was angry. I overheard that my uncle wanted to give me to the Turkic king as a gift so that he could collude with the Turks to invade Dajin. The Turkic king was over 60 years old, and I didn't want to be his concubine! So I secretly escaped from Rouran. Who knew that my uncle actually sent people to chase me all the way to Dajin. But on the way I escaped, I accidentally rolled down the hillside and hit my head. It was the prince's wife who happened to pass by and saved me. But because of the head injury, there was blood clots in my brain and I lost my memory for a long time. Seeing that I had nowhere to go, the prince's wife took me with her as a little maid. That's why I can live well until now."

Amugu opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Nana, you said it was the uncle who harmed you? But didn't he promise father that if father passed the throne to him, he would take good care of us and raise us up?"

Xiao Liuer sneered and said, "He has already won the throne, so why should he care about the oath he made back then?"

After that, she said to her brother with some worry: "When father passed away, we were all too young. Father was worried that under the law of the jungle, if he passed the throne to you, it would harm your life, so he had no choice but to pass the throne to you. Now your brother has grown up, and some old tribal leaders always remember father's kindness in their hearts, and they can't help but hope that your brother can inherit the throne in the future. I'm worried that they will think of this and try to murder your life. After you return to Rouran, you must be careful."

His sister's words made Amugu sober up instantly. The people on their grasslands pay more attention to the law of the jungle. Those who can sit on the tiger-skinned eagle throne will not be merciful. His father had also used iron-blooded tactics to suppress other tribes that threatened his throne.

But since Uncle Wang has inherited his father's throne, he shouldn't treat Nana badly. After all, Nana is a girl and will not threaten his throne!

He clenched his fists, slammed them heavily on the table, and said angrily: "This treacherous villain! My father would be ashamed to have such a brother in his grave."

Amugu looked at Xiao Liu'er seriously and said, "Nana, since he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. Since the throne was passed down to him by my father, now that I have grown up, I can also take it back."

Xiao Liuer nodded and said, "Uncle Wang is so ruthless and ungrateful to me. I am worried that he will take action against me sooner or later. It is better for me to take action sooner rather than later. However, I don't have many people I can use right now. I might as well secretly win over some tribes loyal to my father and take action after I am fully prepared."

Amugu said to Xiao Liu'er, "Now that we are reunited, I will prepare a great gift tomorrow and go to the Prince of Yan's mansion to announce your identity, and then take you back to Rouran."

Xiao Liu'er looked a little embarrassed and said to Amugu, "Brother, I want to stay in the Central Plains for the time being. First, if I return to Rouran, I will be a weak spot for you. If the uncle captures me and threatens you with my life, I am afraid it will affect your plan. Second, the fight for the throne has always been bloody. If you are in danger, I can borrow soldiers from the Jin court as a Rouran princess to help you escape from danger."

Amugu thought about it and felt that what Xiao Liu'er said made sense, so he nodded and said, "In that case, you should stay in Dajin for now. When your brother is done, I will come to take you back to Rouran in a grand manner."
