Sister, you traveled through time too?

The night was as dark as ink.

Xiao Yun'er was sleeping soundly in Xiaoyu's arms.

Xiaoyu moved very gently and quietly let go of her, then got up and got out of bed.

Xiaoyu put on a thick long fur coat, walked to the door, looked at Xiao Yun'er lovingly before leaving.

When the shabby wooden door closed, Xiao Yun'er, who was originally sleeping soundly, opened her eyes.

The look in his eyes was not hazy from being startled, but was extremely clear and sharp.

Xiao Yun'er opened her eyes in the darkness, looking at the closed door.

"It's coming, it's coming soon."

She murmured to herself, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

……

Xiaoyu walked into the yard quietly, and the night sky was full of stars.

The gentle moonlight is as clear as water.

She leaned against the gate of the courtyard, her eyes always fixed on the starry sky.

What happened in the past few days is spinning rapidly in my mind.

"Your Highness, are you all right?"

The yard was extremely quiet, and a gentle question broke the silence.

Chun Ke came in a nightgown, his eyes as gentle as water.

He looked at the little fish with concern.

"Nothing, I just didn't sleep well."

"I summoned you tonight because I need you to deliver a message to the Emperor as soon as possible."

Xiaoyu patted Chunke's shoulder and said.

Chun Ke nodded and quickly took out a notebook and a small charcoal pencil.

"No need to write. I need you to go back to the Imperial City in person. I have something important to tell you."

Seeing that he was about to record it, Xiaoyu interrupted him and said.

"Yes." Chun Ke then put away the paper and pen and listened attentively.

"Tell the emperor that I will leave for Shu tomorrow."

"The reason why Hai Yi is so rampant is that, in addition to the power of the previous dynasty and his disciples all over the world,

His biggest trump card is the Cui family."

"The Cui family stationed in the southwest has unprecedentedly expanded its influence in the local area."

"If we let this go on, the Cui family might become the second Hai family."

"We must nip the Cui family in the bud before they gain power."

"The Cui family is now loyal to Hai Yi and has long had evil intentions. We cannot keep them."

"I will leave for Shu this time. Please ask the emperor to send the three thousand imperial guards to me."

"I don't trust anyone else, but you are my confidant."

"I will give you the private seal for dispatching the Imperial Guards. You will lead them to Shu in secret to help me."

Xiaoyu's eyes were calm and his tone was dignified and serious.

Surprise flashed in Chun Ke's eyes and he was speechless for a moment.

"Your Highness, how about we wait for me to bring the imperial guards here before heading to Shu?"

"The Cui family is the only powerful family in Shu. You are like a person walking into a dangerous place alone."

"I can't watch you take risks!"

Chun Ke lost control of his emotions, his tone was a little agitated, and his expression was full of worry.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself and will not confront the Cui family head-on for the time being."

"But in an emergency, this is the best policy."

Xiaoyu said this, patting Chunke soothingly.

"Early tomorrow morning, divide the troops into three groups."

"Let An Er take Jiang Hao and rush to the grassland as soon as possible."

"This princess and I will take Mei Shuo with us to Shu."

"We must go to Shu. The Cui family has a very important matter."

Xiaoyu sighed and spoke calmly.

"The He family and the Cui family are like Haiying's left and right arms."

"Using the matter of food and fodder, we can get rid of He Chen openly."

"But Haiyi still has the Cui family as a strong arm."

"I'm afraid that after He Chen is eliminated in the future, Hai Yi will be forced into a corner and will directly join forces with the Cui family to rebel."

"He Chen will take food and grass to the grassland tomorrow. I want to get rid of the Cui family. Time is running out."

"We must seize the next few days to force the Cui family to hand over the military power in the southwest."

"Whoever holds the military token will have the troops."

After she said that, she looked at Chun Ke who looked worried, smiled and touched his head.

"Chun Ke, don't worry. Your prince is so smart that he won't die."

Xiaoyu said half-jokingly.

Chun Ke's eyes were filled with reluctance and heartache.

His Highness has become capable of standing on his own.

But Chun Ke was really sad, he didn't want to see His Highness in danger.

What made him even more sad was that he was powerless.

I knew it was dangerous, but I couldn't do anything for her.

There was no way to pave the way for her or smooth everything out for her. Normally, I could still silently protect Her Highness behind her, but this time it was impossible.

Chun Ke hated that he couldn't do anything.

Xiaoyu looked at the complex emotions in Chunke's eyes, and she gently reached out to touch Chunke's cheek.

Chun Ke was stunned. He raised his tearful eyes and looked at His Highness intently.

"You know, I need you very much."

"I don't trust anyone with this private seal except you."

"You are the only one I dare to entrust my life to."

"Because I know you will bring reinforcements to rescue me."

Xiaoyu's eyes were gentle, with a serious look of moving forward.

She rubbed Chunke's head, feeling extremely disappointed.

After hearing this, Chun Ke held back the tears that were about to fall.

He looked at his Highness firmly, knowing that there was still much he could do for her.

The light in his eyes was rekindled, affectionate and bright.

He suppressed his special feelings, but couldn't help wanting to touch His Highness's hand.

He thought of Mei Shuo's repeated calls of "Madam" today, but his own throat felt like it was clogged with thick cotton.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

All kinds of emotions had to be restrained and hidden.

Chun Ke knelt on one knee and solemnly promised that he would never let His Highness down.

He just knelt before his highness, with his head lowered, not daring to look up.

Only if he didn't look into His Highness' eyes could he dare to fill his eyes with love.

Chun Ke prayed that His Highness would be safe and that He would not discover his love for her.

But Xiaoyu squatted down at this time, stretched out his hand and lifted Chunke's head up.

Chun Ke was stunned and panicked, hiding his emotions like a flustered child.

The small fish are in full view.

Her eyes were filled with pity and she rubbed Chun Ke's head helplessly.

"When will you lose control?"

Xiaoyu thought silently in his heart.

"What's wrong? Your Highness."

Chun Ke's voice was as gentle as ever.

Xiaoyu imagined, would this gentle voice one day shout out love in a heart-wrenching voice?

It's unimaginable.

"Have you ever heard of the kiss of the hand?"

Xiaoyu smiled lightly, with an alluring and ambiguous look in her eyes.

Chun Ke shook his head.

"In some places, kissing the back of a person's hand is a courtesy, a sign of allegiance."

Xiaoyu stood up with a smile and stretched out her white jade hand.

She raised the corners of her lips, her eyes brighter than the stars in the sky.

Chun Ke just stared at the stars in her eyes in a daze.

He looked at the jade hand extended by the prince in front of him and restrained his love.

"Chun Ke swears his loyalty to His Highness until death."

Chun Ke gently lifted Xiaoyu's hand, and he restrainedly and piously gave a holy kiss on the back of Xiaoyu's hand.

Xiaoyu looked down at Chunke who was looking up, and thought:

"What were you thinking about when you kissed me?"

Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to know the answer.

Because the days are long, she will always wait for Chun Ke to express his love.

Later, she will ask in detail.

But what is Chun Ke thinking?

At that second, his world was in chaos.

Is his heart filled with loyalty to the death?

Or, is it full of love?
