My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Cui Hongjing felt pain and groaned, but did not let go.

He licked the blood from the corner of his lips and stared at her lips. "Do you really hate me so much?"

Mei Xueer suddenly woke up and found herself being held horizontally by him.

Her hands were tightly around his neck.

His lips just left hers.

There was a trace of blood at the corner of his lips.

"Ah..." Mei Xueer felt a faint smell of blood in her mouth.

She seemed to be pricked by something, and she struggled hard and jumped off him, and her brain nerves reconnected to the previous plot.

In the chaos at the riverside, Wen Bing's first pass failed to reach the target and was snatched away by Li Mo on the way.

Also, the fate of her tour group members, those little chicks, is unknown.

Saving lives is the most important thing, she doesn't care about face or integrity.

Her face and integrity had long been thrown to the ground and kicked away.

"Your Majesty, can you save them? By the river..."

"Zhuang Xiang has already taken people there. I seemed to see Prince Xiao also went there." Cui Hongjing wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, somewhat afraid to look into her eyes.

"Thank you!" Mei Xueer breathed a sigh of relief, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"You're welcome!" Cui Hongjing felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

Does it have to be so unfamiliar?

Xueer, can you wait a little longer?

One year at most.

I will definitely use a sedan chair carried by eight people to take you back to the palace.

Mei Xueer looked at his changeable face and felt that the atmosphere between them was a little awkward, so she thought about saying something.

You have to say something, you're counting on him to help save people!

"Well, those five people with the surname Wen are also by the river!" What a brain short circuit, why did he suddenly mention those people?

"If they can't even protect the master, what's the use of them?!" Cui Hongjing's face sank.

"Ah--no, they're quite good... I quite like them..."

"Like?" Cui Hongjing's face became even colder.

Mei Xueer quickly changed the subject, "Your Majesty has helped me today, so I will not pursue the matter of you forcing me to take abortion pills."

"Could it be that you are still bothered by that matter?" Cui Hongjing looked at her in confusion.

Didn't this happen a long time ago?

Mei Xueer: How big of a heart do I have to have to not care? Could it be that this dog prince thought I had forgotten about it?

Thinking of this, she became angry again.

"Your Majesty, our matter is not over yet!"

Cui Hongjing's eyes lit up, "When did I say that it's over between us?"

"I, I mean, I won't just let this go."

"My king, I think so too."

Oh, forget it, we can’t communicate.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the sky was instantly ignited.

The palace didn't know about the incident on the Xiangxi River. The fireworks bloomed on time at the hour of Hai, brightening the entire sky.

"So beautiful!" Mei Xueer watched the meteor-like sparks falling from the sky in ecstasy.

It turns out that you like watching fireworks!

Cui Hongjing thought to himself that on the next wedding day, he would definitely set off lots of fireworks for her so that she could watch them all at once, and he would not stop until she said she was tired of watching them and didn't want to watch them anymore.

The continuously blooming fireworks cast flickering shadows on her face, making the smile on her face hazy, as if covered by a layer of veil. When the fireworks lit up, the veil was gently lifted.

Cui Hongjing stared at the face that he had been thinking about day and night, and was completely mesmerized.

He couldn't help but take two steps forward, stretch out his arms, and hold her in his arms from behind, burying his head in the crook of her neck.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself!" Mei Xueer's body stiffened, and she tried hard to pry open the big hands that were around her waist.

Cui Hongjing greedily sniffed her scent, his arms tightening around her, "Xue'er..."

Mei Xueer got goose bumps all over her body when she heard this. She raised her right foot and stomped her heel down with all her strength.

Cui Hongjing felt pain in his right toe and loosened his grip.

Mei Xueer turned her head and glared at him, "Your Highness, I think that since we have divorced, we should keep a normal distance from each other in the future." She wiped her red lips again, "It would be bad if there are any more unnecessary misunderstandings."

Cui Hongjing's mouth twitched, and after a long while he managed to utter a word with difficulty: "Okay!"

The atmosphere became awkward again.

Fortunately, Zhuang Xiang came back not long after, and the members of the tour group followed him.

Although everyone looked a little disheveled, fortunately no one had broken arms or legs, and everyone was intact, with only some scratches at most.

Mei Xueer felt that this trip was a failure.

But the fire on the flower boat was not something she could control!

Cui Hongjing glanced coldly at the dejected five divine beasts with a warning look. He said nothing, but the five divine beasts shuddered in unison.

"Zhuang Xiang, let's go!" He flicked his sleeves, without even looking at Mei Xueer, and left with a dark face.

Mei Xueer was also preparing to fight back home, but An Ran suddenly burst into tears.

Mei Xueer was extremely anxious. The little girl already had a heart disease and this ordeal might cause her to have some problems.

But after checking for a long time, she found nothing wrong.

An Ran just kept crying. After crying for a long time, she finally pulled out a wrinkled thing from her chest which was soaked with tears.

She sobbed and said, "Rabbit, my, my rabbit, rabbit...bad, bad..."

Mei Xueer finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a rabbit lamp, wasn't it? What was the big deal?

But no matter how she persuaded her, An Ran still cried.

Mei Jiayun said awkwardly, "Well, next time, if Uncle Shi guesses another riddle and wins one, I'll give it to you. Stop crying, okay?"

"Really?" An Ran stopped crying, her eyes sparkling, "Then I want the same one as this one."

……

After a busy day, everyone slept soundly that night.

It was already dawn the next day when Mei Xueer woke up.

After breakfast, she sat at the table and felt that if she didn't say some things, she would feel unhappy.

Looking at the five legendary secret guards standing in front of her, she pursed her lips and asked, "Who threw me out like a ball last night?"

Silence. There was silence for a while.

"Who is it, anyway?"

"Yes—I..." Finally, Wen Bing lowered his head and raised his hand cautiously, hesitating and seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"Oh, it's you again! Bingzi, where are you going to throw me? In the river or in the fire?"

"Princess, why did you add the word 'again'? I have never thrown anyone before, but I did throw a ball when I was a child..." Wen Bing explained quickly.

An Ran was sitting at the table, eating sunflower seeds. When she heard him talking about throwing the ball, she glanced at him and said, "No wonder you are so skilled at throwing it..."

"I was tripped by that woman, so I couldn't take the princess away. I wanted to throw the ball to Otoji-ni, but he didn't catch it. Princess, this is not my fault. You should blame Otoji-ni."

Wen Yi, who was always eloquent, now treated himself as a stick and stood there motionless without saying a word.

But Mei Xue'er didn't let him go, "Yi, can you explain?"

Wen Yi was silent for a moment, then grinned, "Maybe, maybe, he wanted to throw it to me, but it was too chaotic at the time, I didn't hear it, and I didn't see it! Bingzi, you should have shouted louder. Princess, do you know how dangerous it was at the time? I was protecting the third young lady, and you all know that the third young lady is in poor health. There were people everywhere around, people squeezing and pushing each other. There was an old man behind the third young lady, pushing her hard, pushing hard, using a lot of force. I saw that it was not good, so I pushed the old man, but the old man looked seventy or eighty years old, but he was quite strong, I... I pushed, but it didn't move, so I quickly pulled Miss San away. You don't know, I used all my strength, but Miss San didn't move at all. I looked and found that the old man was pulling Miss San's sleeve! Oh my god, how dare he take advantage of me? I hit the old man with my palm, and he fainted immediately, and foamed at the mouth, which scared me. At this time, someone else waved his fist at me, two men, it seems that they are the old man's sons, or grandsons, they look more than ten or twenty years old, they should be grandsons..."

An Ran couldn't hold it in any longer and spat out all the melon seeds in her mouth with a "puff".

Wen Yi wiped his face and continued, "What about the two grandsons? One is plump and white, the other is thin and capable. They don't look like brothers at all. But they both shouted, 'How dare you hit my grandpa' - yes, that's right, they called him grandpa, so they must be the old man's grandsons..."

With a "whoosh~~~~~" sound, Wen Yi finally shut up.

He covered his head, and after a long while he said aggrievedly, "Princess, you fired a hidden weapon again."

He lowered his eyes and saw the little turtle lying on the ground with its belly facing up, trying hard to turn over.

And under the princess's table, there was a large group of little turtles crawling around.

Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he began to change the subject: "Bingzi, you must have fallen for the girl who grabbed your leg, so you didn't care about saving the princess."

"Ah..." Wen Bing's face suddenly turned red, and he glanced at Nan Xing for no reason, "No, I didn't!"

"If not, why did the girl follow you back? She followed us all the way back last night. She's still squatting outside the gate."
