I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

An Yuyan slowly opened her eyes, and her vision gradually became clear. The first thing that came into her sight was Jiang Xingkuo's face full of guilt and uneasiness.

Jiang Xingkuo had been guarding the bedside. When he saw him wake up, the tension on his face eased a little. He quickly came forward and asked with concern: "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

An Yuyan frowned slightly, her breath still weak. After a soft sigh, she said with a hint of anger in her tone: "How could you be so foolish to do such a stupid thing! Do you have to seek death because you are unhappy with your life?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xingkuo showed an awkward yet flattering smile.

It turned out that he thought he was going to commit suicide.

She responded softly, "I know I was wrong, and I promise I will never do it again. I'm really sorry that I let you get hurt for no reason this time."

Seeing Jiang Xingkuo's sincere attitude, An Yuyan's worries were slightly relieved and she tried to struggle to get up.

However, as soon as he started to move, Jiang Xingkuo quickly reached out and held him down, gently advising: "You should rest well first, and don't move. I'll go get you some medicine."

Watching her open the door and go out, An Yuyan smiled meaningfully.

In the next few days, Jiang Xingkuo took care of An Yuyan meticulously and with great concern, which made him feel deeply warm.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and An Yuyan recovered soon.

After they recovered, they continued their journey, enjoying the natural scenery along the way. The boat sailed south and soon arrived at Lin'an, a beautiful and prosperous city.

An Yuyan said mysteriously that she wanted to take Jiang Xingkuo to see something.

After squeezing through the crowds of people, the two finally found a great viewing spot.

As night fell, a tall iron furnace was set up in the middle.

Jiang Xingkuo stretched his neck with interest.

The fire was burning brightly, sparks were flying everywhere, and several big men threw iron blocks into the furnace. After being calcined at high temperature, the iron blocks turned red.

Then, the big men used tools to pick up the iron block and lifted it high. When the iron block was thrown into the air, the men quickly hit it with another stick, and sparks flew everywhere.

Mars streaked across the night sky like shooting stars, forming beautiful arcs. The moment Mars fell, it was like gorgeous flowers blooming in the sky, as colorful as a kaleidoscope.

Jiang Xingkuo stared at the spectacular scene intently, his heart filled with wonder and awe, as if he was in a dreamlike world.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night. It also blows down, and the stars are like rain..."

She stared at the scattered clouds and murmured, completely unaware that An Yuyan was looking at her, gently and firmly.

Jiang Xingkuo enjoyed the beautiful scenery to the fullest, feeling extremely happy. He couldn't help but sigh: "If I can grow old here, it will be a blessing in life!"

Hearing this, An Yuyan's eyes were burning: "In that case, why don't you stay."

However, Jiang Xingkuo did not respond directly to his proposal, but just gave a faint smile.

An Yuyan's eyes dimmed.

In the pitch-black night, the servant brought another letter, saying that this letter was sent urgently from thousands of miles away.

An Yuyan's beautiful and deep eyes moved slightly, as if she had already guessed the content of the letter.

He gently took the envelope and slowly opened it. After reading it, her expression became extremely cold, and a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Humph! Is this old man finally going to take action?"

After saying this, he handed the letter back to the servant and signaled him to burn it, then he looked into the distance silently in deep thought.

Time slipped away quietly between our fingers, and several days passed.

Jiang Xingkuo gradually began to feel suspicious. She couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't I received any letters recently?"

An Yuyan replied nonchalantly, "Perhaps the messenger was delayed due to the long journey. You don't have to be too anxious."

Although Jiang Xingkuo had doubts, he had no choice but to believe what he said.

Maybe transportation was inconvenient in ancient times and something unexpected happened.

After thinking for a moment, An Yuyan decided to have someone deliver a letter to Jiang Xingkuo.

When Jiang Xingkuo received the letter, she was overjoyed and exclaimed as if she had found a treasure: "I've finally been waiting for it!" Then she couldn't wait to return to her room.

However, what An Yuyan never expected was that Jiang Xingkuo woke her up by slapping her hard the next morning. Jiang Xingkuo was furious and asked angrily, "Why did you forge the letter? Hand over the real letter!"

An Yuyan tried to play dumb and try to get away with it. "What do you mean? Is the letter fake?"

"Don't pretend to me."

The writing habits of modern people are of course different from those of ancient people.

In the past, there were sometimes some words that looked like typos in An Huanyan's letters, but only Jiang Xingkuo knew that they were simplified Chinese characters.

However, when she noticed that Jiang Xingkuo's face was getting gloomier, she knew that she could no longer hide the matter, so she quickly changed her words and said, "In fact, I didn't receive the letter, but I saw that you have been depressed today and have no appetite, so I came up with this plan to make you feel better."

Jiang Xingkuo was half-believing and half-doubting, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to give up for the time being.

However, Jiang Xingkuo tossed and turned in bed throughout the night and could not fall asleep.

All sorts of strange images and thoughts kept popping up in her mind, making her feel upset.

Finally, she sat up helplessly, staring blankly ahead, in a daze...

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps at the door, followed by a figure hurried past and ran towards the room at the end.

Jiang Xingkuo's heart moved, and with her keen intuition, she realized that the room was where An Yuyan was.

She tiptoed out, pricked up her ears, and tried to hear what was going on inside.

However, due to the distance, she could only vaguely hear the word "Princess".

This unexpected discovery instantly cheered her up.

Could this be related to Huanyan?

Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, Jiang Xingkuo felt that something was wrong and decided to find out for himself.

She hid behind a pillar first, and when the mysterious servant left, Jiang Xingkuo followed quietly.

She was careful to keep a certain distance so as not to be noticed by the other party.

The servant returned to his room without saying anything.

Jiang Xingkuo was about to leave in disappointment, but he found that the room suddenly became brighter.

It turned out that the servant was secretly making a fire.

Jiang Xingkuo was full of doubts, but she didn't rush in to question him immediately. She spit some water and poked a small hole in the paper door.

The servant was making a fire and paid no attention to the movement at the door.

After all, it was late at night and there was no one around. What accidents could happen?

Just as Jiang Xingkuo was thinking about what to do next, the servant took out a letter from his arms and threw it into the brazier without hesitation.

Jiang Xingkuo was horrified when she saw this. Without time to think, she pushed the door open, kicked the panicked servant away, and quickly reached out to take the letter out of the brazier.

Jiang Xingkuo was extremely anxious, as she knew that the letter might be related to something important. She didn't care that the letter in her hand was still hot, and she tried her best to put out the fire.

Unfortunately, most of the letters have turned to ashes and the complete contents cannot be recognized.

At this time, half of the letter had been burned. She opened it with difficulty and only a few scribbled words were left on it: ...Dangerous, come back soon.
