"What's wrong with you?" Xu An raised his eyes and asked when he noticed something was wrong with the man in front of him.

Qi Shichuan relaxed his brows and took a half step back. "Your Highness, nothing happened." He bowed and the black hair on his shoulders slid to the front of him. "I have already prepared the pills to relieve the Third Prince's inner demons. At present, the method to cure the heartbreak flower poison still needs to be tested. Your Highness, please pass on the medicine."

The man conjured up a small glass bottle with pills in it. Xu An took it and said, "Qi Shichuan, you can call me Xu An from now on. Bai Zhi is also fine. I have always regarded you as a friend. Calling you His Highness is strange."

"By the way, thank you for this medicine. I will say that I made it. I will not reveal your identity, nor will I let anyone else know."

……

The cold wind was howling outside the house, and the cold wind coming from somewhere suddenly blew out the flickering candle on the table.

The tightly closed door slid open after a flash of light.

squeak-

Jian Kuo's figure stopped in front of the table, and then the extinguished candle was lit by the spiritual light.

Xu An was sleeping soundly leaning against the back of a chair, with a bamboo slip in her hand.

The man carefully tidied up the messy desk, but found a stack of papers filled with prescriptions.

Looking closer, the prescriptions were densely packed, and almost every one of them was written with the words "Heartbreak Flower". Turning over the book on the table, each page had obvious wrinkles, and each volume was about the growth areas of rare medicinal herbs.

The person next to him could be heard breathing lightly. Asu Pei Ye put down the book in his hand and slowly sat down on the ground.

He took out the oath note that Zhu Yu threw to him from his arms, unfolded it, and pressed it on the table with the inkstone.

His name is naturally at the top.

Then, Xu An was embraced in a warm embrace and he carried her to the bed.

The slightly swaying candlelight seemed particularly beautiful. Asu Pei Ye sat leaning against the bed with his head close to the woman. He hooked her little finger and gradually fell asleep.

To Xu An, that stubborn and proud figure was nothing more than a furious cat.

……

A wet touch fell on the man's forehead. He frowned and opened his eyes to look, but his heartbeat accelerated.

"When did you wake up?"

Asu Pei Ye raised his head, a mischievous smile reflected in his golden eyes.

Xu An reached out and pinched his chin, giving him a playful smirk, "You missed me so much? You came to my bedside to sleep with me in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, I miss you so much, will you give me some compensation?"

The man whose chin was lifted up was not shy at all, and even had an expectant smile on his face. Before Xu An could respond, he closed his eyes on his own initiative.

But after waiting for a while, the kiss she longed for did not come, and she only heard Xu An's low laughter.

"Since my wife won't compensate me..." As soon as she said half of the words, Asu Peiye suddenly grabbed the back of the woman's head, and the next moment he raised his head and kissed her. Under his possessive kiss, his tongue lingered, "Then I will fight for it myself."

He spoke softly, his eyes full of affection, and his gradually reddening face made him look somewhat innocent.

Although it was just a simple kiss, there was a vague sense of possession and infatuation in those eyes.

Asu Pei Ye is a person who is really competitive and quarrelsome.

"Today... I was wrong. I will never bother with those pretty boys in the future. Madam, please forgive me, okay?"

After he apologized like this, Xu An would naturally give him a way out, "Well ~ Okay ~ I'll reluctantly forgive you this time, if you do it again..."

"No, I won't do it again. This prince always keeps his word." Asu Pei Ye raised his eyes, and a hint of coquettishness appeared on his banished immortal-like face.

Sure enough, he is a two-faced person.

The fierce and arrogant side is towards everyone.

The gentle and obedient side is unique to Xu An.

-

The sky was turning pale, and a faint light stained the window frames.

A voice came from outside the house, "Your Highness, the Third Prince, Young Lord Wu Lin, Imperial Censor Zhu, Young Marquis Liu, and the Great Prince of the Western Regions are waiting outside the courtyard. Would Your Highness like to invite them in?"

what? !

With a start, Xu An sat up suddenly.

"Tell... um..." She covered Asu Pei Ye's mouth with her hand, almost stopping him from speaking.

"Well, let them go to the barracks first. I'll pack up and come back."

The man with his mouth covered propped up his head and looked at her sideways, his dazzling eyes filled with tenderness and affection, "It's so cold outside, why don't you invite them in and sit for a while?"

Xu An: "..."

How could she not know what he was planning?

If they came in and saw Asu Pei Ye's arrogant look, there would be a storm.

"Hey, can you wear your clothes properly? Why are you showing so much?"

Xu An raised her hand to tidy up the man's clothes, but he grabbed her wrist tightly.

A charming laugh came out slowly, "Of course it's to seduce Her Royal Highness the Princess..."

"You...you are so shameless in broad daylight."

"If I hadn't seduced Your Highness, wouldn't Your Highness have left me with nothing? I know exactly what Your Highness did with your brother..."

Asu Pei Ye put his arm around the woman's waist and pushed her against the bed, speaking in a sarcastic tone that was full of jealousy.

His fingertips stroked her collarbone, and seeing the kiss marks that still had some marks, his eyes suddenly showed a hint of displeasure, and his aggrieved and charming voice slowly came out: "Your Highness, it's really unfair... I just wanted Your Highness to show some favor, but Your Highness said that I have no shame?"

"When Your Highness was being intimate with others, who was he thinking of? Was it me, your Highness?"

The ambiguous hot breath was getting closer and closer. Xu An swallowed and raised his hand to push Asu Peiye away. "They are still waiting outside. When we are done, I will compensate you for every cent I owe you."

"Xu An, between this prince and Shen Yi, who do you choose?"

……

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, Asu Peiye's expression froze, but he was extremely nervous.

What kind of fatal problem is this?

Can Xu An answer one of them?

After a long silence, the woman still did not answer. She packed her things on her own. Asu Pei Ye just waited there, waiting for her answer.

"Choose him, right?" He smiled self-deprecatingly and asked softly, as if he had expected it.

Suddenly, "Hmm..."

An involuntary moan came out of Asu Peiye's throat. He was depressed and angry in the previous second, but was thrown into disarray by a sudden kiss in the next second.

She lifted up the messy undershirt and caressed his chest with her cool fingertips, making the scarlet part more prominent due to the teasing.

The man was pressed on the bed and allowed Xu An to tease him.

The interlaced kisses gradually became passionate, and she left bright marks on his neck and chest.

"A Su Pei Ye, do you know that this part of your body is very sensitive..."

After he finished speaking, Xu An deliberately leaned her ear close to his lips. She listened to his eager breathing and his trembling moans, then she looked up and met his eyes.

The person under him had a flushed face, as if a little shy, and he lowered his eyes.

"It's getting late, we need to set off."

Asu Pei Ye was looking forward to the next step, but unexpectedly Xu An smiled and touched his abdomen, then stood up and tied up his hair.

"..."

Reluctantly, he straightened his clothes, cast a spell, and his golden hair was tied up high.

Warm arms wrapped around Xu An's waist from behind, "You haven't answered me yet, choose him or me?"

"A Su Pei Ye, you are now my subject. How can a subject talk to me like this?"

"Ah..." The man sighed and lifted her hair to tie it up. "How am I inferior to that blockhead? Princess, why are you still hesitating?"

Elm?

He is not a blockhead. In private, he is more different than anyone else.

"Well, in my opinion, you all have the same status. If I have to make a choice... then I choose to be alone!"

"No!" Asu Pei Ye suddenly lowered his head and bit Xu An's neck with a little force. He muttered angrily: "I, Asu Pei Ye, will be your husband in life and a ghost in the underworld that haunts you in death. You will never be alone in your life."

"Hiss, why are you biting me?"

"Who told Her Royal Highness the Princess to flirt with me and then throw up her hands?"

"It seems that the teasing just now was not enough. I should make some people kneel down and beg me."

……

Asu Peiye frowned, leaned over and whispered in Xu An's ear. He said dissatisfiedly: "Who said it's not enough? I am still enduring it now... I don't know when it will be gone..."

"Well! They are waiting. Let's do this. I will go to the courtyard and wait for you. You can take those books with you."

Xu An took the scabbard and ran out quickly.

Asu Peiye is such a lewd man! He can talk about these things without blushing or getting nervous...

Speaking of which... Shen Yi is also a pervert! He actually told Asu Peiye about his intimate affairs? !

Is this something you can say? These men put so much effort into fraternity...

Several people stood outside the yard very quietly. There was no sharp eye contact, no tit-for-tat conversation, only happy waiting.

Occasionally there was the sound of horses stamping their hooves, and behind the few people were carriages one after another.

"I am coming!"

As Xu An ran over, the five people's positions obviously moved forward a few steps.

"Xu An, give me the sword." Shen Yi took the sword from the woman's hand first. He was about to hold her hand, but Ze An raised his hand to block his arm.

"Sister, I have a lot of food in my carriage, please fill your stomach first."

The man was about to take her away, but Zhu Yu calmly took out a stack of talismans from his arms.

He said gently: "Zhizhi, I drew some new spells. There are many dangers along the way. They may be able to help you in time."

It must be said that the talisman that Zhu Yu gave touched Xu An's heart.

"A new talisman? Xiaozhu! Hurry up and put away the talisman your big brother wrote!"

With a swish sound, a red light flashed, and the squeaking talisman paper appeared in the air, stringing the thick stack of talismans into a circle of waist ornaments.

Xu An tied it around his waist excitedly, and did not forget to show off the unique waist ornament to a few people.

Liu Yixiao spread his hands, and a long and thin jade flute slowly shrank into a pendant. He cleared his throat, "Ahem. Your Highness, if you encounter danger on the way, blow this flute to summon a spirit beast, and it will protect you."

"Spiritual beast? Thank you, Young Marquis Liu! Since it is a gift to me, I can't take it back in the future."

Xu An dreams of having a spirit beast. Ze An's spirit beast is the source of her dream. If she has a spirit beast, wouldn't she have a helper in a fight and a mount when traveling?

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Liu. I'm afraid your spirit beast won't be of any use to me." Shen Yi turned his head to look at him, with a jealous smile on his lips, "Xu An, come with me."

"Hey, Third Prince, considering the military strength, terrain, and combat experience, I can protect her better than you."

Asu Yuyi conjured a topographic map with his hands and smiled confidently, "There are monsters guarding the area outside the Black Water Pond, but I can sneak into the underground world without being discovered. Compared to you, I am the only one who can keep her from getting hurt at all."

The sparks that grew quietly seemed to burst into a raging fire in the next moment, and the tense and hostile atmosphere was extremely stalemate.

Ze An ignored the others' obstruction, shrugged his shoulders and pushed the two people beside him away, "Sister, mother is still waiting for us."

Looking at the little movements of these people pushing and shoving each other, Xu An laughed helplessly.

"Your Highness Shen Yue, why don't you wait for me?" An arrogant voice came from behind Xu An. Asu Pei Ye appeared in front of everyone with her bag on her back and her hair dangling. "Tsk, I thought ~ Your Highness was busy chatting and laughing with other pretty boys~"

"A Su Pei Ye? Why are you here?"

Seeing him appear, Ze'an frowned so tightly that a fly could be killed between his brows.

"Yes~ Why am I here? Then I have to ask Your Highness..." The man turned sideways to reveal the conspicuous mark on his neck. He looked at Xu An with a smile on his lips, but he raised his eyebrows, looking like he was trying to sow discord.

Xu An looked back and saw that several people seemed to be staring at him... one person's expression was even more gloomy than the other.

Over...how do you explain this?

"Master, Yun Xuan has arranged their ashes properly. Master, please go and see if there is anything missing."

Bei Shuyunxuan's voice came from behind them. Isn't this her savior? Xu An lifted her skirt and ran towards him, "Take me to see it."

Opening the entrance hall, you will see boxes of urns piled up together.

"What is this?" Asu Yuyi appeared beside the two of them, and then the others followed.

"These are the ashes of the sect's disciples and soldiers from various countries. Many of the remains are no longer distinguishable as to which piece is a person, but we can't just leave them in this unfamiliar place."

Xu An closed the entrance and sighed, "We don't know if we can come back here after going to the Black Water Pond this time, so I want to take them all with us. If we come across a river that flows to various countries, we can scatter some of the water. Maybe they can return to their hometown."

The once tall man has now become a box of ashes. Things are unpredictable, but she still doesn't want them to become lonely souls.

"Those remains were all poisoned, and only I can take them away, so I asked Yun Xuan to help me cremate them. By the way, Zhu Yu, these are the ashes of Senior Brother Lin and other disciples of the sect. I know you also want to take them back, so I'll leave their ashes to you."

She picked up a separate box and handed it to the man.

Zhu Yu pursed his lips, his heavy heart seemed to be pressed down by an invisible rock, leaving only a tense and throbbing pain.

Many disciples of the sect are ordinary people with no power or influence. Some of them join the sect to be chivalrous, some to make a living, and some to protect their families.

In the face of disaster, they are Mu An's front line. Once they choose to embark on this path, they are destined to have no right to choose life or death, but they still guard their duties without hesitation.
