With half of his face hidden by the car curtain, Yun Ji blinked and said in a louder voice: "I know you are here."

Glancing at Song Yue, who was pretending to read a book beside Yun Ji, and Lan Fu, who was watching her heart and eyes and ready to escape from the carriage at any time, Nan Yingzhi withdrew her gaze and silently moved closer to Yun Ji.

When there were outsiders present, Yun Ji was even more restrained than Nan Yingzhi.

His tongue seemed to be tied up and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Although the two were not far from each other, they were unable to open their hearts and communicate fully.

Song Yue turned a page of the book on her lap, but couldn't concentrate on reading.

Because she clearly realized that she was now sitting in the carriage, which was a stumbling block in the communication between the prince and Sister Lian.

She was just sitting there feeling restless when the guard in front suddenly came over with an order, saying, "His Majesty has ordered that you rest here and wait for orders when to set off."

Seeing that Lan Fu had left the carriage with the excuse of "I'm going out for a look", Song Yue followed suit.

In the blink of an eye, only Nan Yingzhi and Yun Ji were left here.

Eager to meet Xiao Zhizi, Yun Ji leaned against the window and tried to climb out.

Realizing his intention, Nan Yingzhi acted quickly and grabbed his head.

"It's very dangerous to climb through the window." She estimated that the window was about one meter away from the ground. She was still frightened. "Just come down from the front."

Yun Ji felt a little strange when her palm pressed against his head. He paused for a few seconds, carefully stretched out his head and gently rubbed her arm.

Most of his black hair was tied tightly. It didn't feel furry but soft to the touch. For a moment, Nan Yingzhi felt that he was like a sleek cat.

"Come out quickly," she said, after touching him a few times without messing up his hair. She was satisfied and looked around. "It's hard to talk here because there are too many people around. I'll take you to a secluded place."

After agreeing, Yun Ji retracted his head, took two steps at a time, got off the carriage, and using the carriage as cover, quietly followed Nan Yingzhi.

The place where they stopped was a forest, which was originally suitable for hiding.

Unfortunately, as it approaches late autumn, most of the leaves on the trees have fallen, greatly reducing the effect of concealing the traces.

Nan Yingzhi and Yun Ji worked together and looked around, and finally found a small mound that could block the hunting team's view.

The slope was not very high, so they had to squat down to provide some cover.

The bare ground was covered with dead branches and leaves, but also had a faint smell of dampness.

In his previous life, he had been to the battlefield. Even in a place where blood flowed like a river, he was able to set up camp without batting an eyelid. Yun Ji himself was not a delicate person.

When his eyes caught sight of Nan Yingzhi, he frowned and said in a dilemma: "Little Zhizi, it's so dirty here."

Not knowing that he was just taking the opportunity to act coquettishly, Nan Yingzhi thought he had mysophobia, so she took out a handkerchief from her arms and spread it on the ground.

The handkerchief was not big, it could only accommodate her buttocks, which was already the limit. Adding Yunji in it, it was totally impossible.

Seeing Nan Yingzhi supporting herself with her feet on the ground and struggling, Yun Ji took out his handkerchief and placed it next to her to ease her burden.

Finally able to sit down peacefully, Nan Yingzhi reached out and wanted to pull him to sit down with her.

Sitting on her lap, this posture was extremely familiar to him. Yun Ji intended to sit down, but suddenly he discovered something.

At this moment, they were on flat ground, and if Xiao Zhizi wanted to sit on his lap, it would be more difficult than when they usually sat on a chair.

Out of pity, he stopped temporarily and squatted beside her.

Seeing that she was enjoying the simple cushion made of two handkerchiefs alone, while Yun Ji was squatting beside her, Nan Yingzhi felt a little embarrassed: "Well, why am I the one sitting down while you are squatting?"

If the skirt wasn't stained with dirt, which would increase Lan Fu's burden to clean, Yun Ji wouldn't mind sitting down directly.

"No problem, I'm happy to squat." He pressed her shoulders lightly with his fingertips, "Xiao Zhizi, please sit down."

Nan Yingzhi could not "give in" to him, so she simply sat down and patted his hand gently, sighing comfortably: "My Qingchuan is really virtuous and considerate of her husband."

Her face flushed slightly, Yun Ji lowered her eyes and continued, "I just don't know when I can get my husband's love and care?"

"It will be soon." Nan Yingzhi was inexplicably interested in stroking his long black hair. Her palm moved from the top of his head to the ends of his few strands of black hair. "If everything goes well, it will be tomorrow."

"By the way," before Yun Ji could say anything, she stopped teasing and said seriously, "Do you feel that Yun Ting is not right today and looks very listless?

"He is not usually very energetic, but he shouldn't be like this, never leaving the carriage."

With the idea of ​​"not saying it explicitly, but giving clues so that Xiao Zhizi can guess", Yun Ji's eyes flickered: "Is it obvious?"

"It's not 'very'," Nan Yingzhi stroked his chin, "but people like us who don't serve Yun Ting personally can notice it.

"His abnormality can hardly be called hidden."

"Strange," she couldn't understand, "Who else would want to harm him besides us?"

Seeing Yun Ji holding his chin, looking at her, smiling but not saying anything, she guessed: "Is it someone from the Western Regions? Not likely, they don't interfere in my Dali government.

"Is it Beishuo? It doesn't seem likely. If they could invade the Forbidden City, they would have been able to defeat us without bloodshed by cooperating inside and outside..."

Seeing that she had eliminated the correct answer and was guessing blindly like a headless fly, Yun Ji coughed lightly and said, "It is far away in the sky, but it is right in front of us."
