The queen is so good at teasing that she makes the abstinent prince tremble

Jiang Tangxi's eyes inadvertently swept across the gently swaying branches, and an inexplicable hesitation arose in his heart.

Xiao Yuxi followed Jiang Tangxi's gaze and a glimmer flashed in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant. "What's wrong?"

She frowned slightly and was about to stand up, but found that her feet had already gone numb and were completely out of control. Before she could stand up straight, she staggered and her body swayed, and she fell straight to the edge of the shimmering pond beside her.

Xiao Yuxi reacted quickly and reached out to support Jiang Tangxi. His movements were quick and decisive without any hesitation, as if everything happened so naturally.

Looking at her feet, he said, "My general's residence is not far from here. Here, you hold the umbrella and I will carry you there!"

After saying that, he stuffed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand into Jiang Tangxi's slightly trembling hands without saying a word. The umbrella still carried the warmth of his palm, as if it could dispel the coldness around them.

Xiao Yuxi had been in the military camp for many years and had no idea of ​​the difference between men and women.

Without giving Jiang Tangxi any chance to regret, he directly lifted her up into the air.

"No....Grand Prince..."

"If you're tired, just stop talking! I'll take care of everything!"

Jiang Tangxi then realized that this man's chest was very warm, his shoulders were very broad, and his arms were very strong, which made people feel inexplicably at ease.

Yes, after experiencing all the absurdities and twists and turns of this day, my body and mind are already exhausted. Why should I let those unnecessary rules and constraints continue to entangle myself?

Can't we just relax like this?

Isn't it enough for me to just protect myself in the days ahead?

Other people! Things!

None of it matters!

Thinking of this, it was as if my brain suddenly went blank.

Her dizzy brain made her lean back, leaning on Xiao Yuxi's shoulders and neck, and she fainted weakly.

The umbrella in his hand fell to the ground, splashing water.

Xiao Yuxi walked steadily, looked down at the woman who was feeling a little hot all over, his eyes moved slightly, and he unconsciously quickened his pace, but remained steady.

I don’t know how long the rain lasted, but it finally stopped for a while.

As the clouds and mist parted, the Prince's Mansion, which had been washed clean by the heavy rain, seemed even more deserted.

Xiao Yuchen closed his eyes slightly, propped up his body with one hand on the couch, as if he was asleep.

He was holding a white jade chess piece in his hand.

It took a long time to come down, as if it was waiting for something.

After a long time, Xiao Yuchen spoke up, "Yiyi, it's been so long, and you've never been so slow. If you keep going like this, we won't be able to finish this game of chess!"

As he spoke, his eyes remained closed, waiting for the other party's response.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no sound.

Only then did he suddenly open his eyes.

It turned out that there was no one on the other side.

Xiao Yuchen was shocked.

Has it become a habit so quickly?

That woman only stayed in this house for half a month!

He raised his hand, looked at the chess piece in his hand with deep eyes, and frowned.

After a while, he stood up irritably, "Someone come!"

Yin Zhou, the personal guard who had been guarding outside the door, heard the noise and immediately entered the room. He raised his hand cautiously and asked, "Your Highness is awake?"

Yin Zhou is in his early twenties, with slightly dark skin. One can tell at first glance that he is a martial artist, and a master at that.

Xiao Yuchen threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess box. "When did you come back?"

Yin Zhou lowered his head and said, "It's been nearly half an hour, but since His Highness was resting, I didn't disturb him."

Xiao Yuchen asked calmly, "Where is she? Where did she go after leaving the Prince's Mansion? What did she do?"

Yin Zhou naturally knew the Jiang Tangxi that Xiao Yuchen was asking about. "Your Highness, after the princess left the Prince's Mansion, she walked along the street very slowly for an hour or two, heading towards the bookstore. But she went to Tiansheng Lake on the way and stayed there for a long time, and then...she left!"

The words were spoken hesitantly, and it was obvious that he was hiding something.

Xiao Yuchen caught onto the doubts instantly and raised his hand to stop him from continuing, only frowning, "One or two hours? Did you open the umbrella?"

Yin Zhou shook his head, "No, he kept laughing instead."

Xiao Yuchen's heart trembled, "Laugh?"

Yin Zhou nodded.

Xiao Yuchen put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth a few steps, and looked at the flowers in the yard that were splashed all over the ground by the long-lasting heavy rain.

Her thoughts seemed to go back to several days ago, when the weather was also like this, and he had briefly deceived her at that time!

In the same position, they were evenly matched and ended up in a draw. He asked her if she was happy in the Jiang Mansion, and Jiang Tangxi remained silent.

Then, after an unknown amount of time, she looked up at the falling flowers outside the window and said, "This rain seems to have been going on for a long time."

Xiao Yuchen asked, "Why? Don't you like this kind of weather?"

Jiang Tangxi put down the chess piece in his hand, his eyes drifting into the distance, "It was also a rainy day like this, my father left home with that woman. In order to keep my father, my mother tricked me out of the house. I was soaked in the rain for a whole day and night, and had a high fever. She thought that my father would come back, but all my mother got was a divorce letter, and then she abandoned me and left..."

As she said this, she turned her head and took a sip of tea. "I don't remember how long I cried in the rain that day. Maybe... never mind... so much time has passed, I have forgotten how it felt at that time!"

This is her memory before she traveled through time.

Xiao Yuchen asked in confusion, "Yiyi's mother? Father? Is it Prime Minister Jiang? How come I didn't know that Yiyi had such an experience?"

Jiang Tangxi smiled lightly and shook her head, "It was a dream I had before. In the dream, I was called Yuyu."

Although I didn't know what Jiang Tangxi meant at the time, the sadness in her eyes could not be hidden.

Jiang Tangxi is not the heartless woman she claims to be, but she doesn’t not care either!

Suddenly, Xiao Yuchen felt a little happy and...heartbroken.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen paused for a moment, then turned around abruptly, his eyes fixed on Yin Zhou, his voice low and oppressive: "Where is she? Has she come back?"

Yin Zhou felt the strong chill and lowered his head involuntarily, his voice trembling slightly: "Reporting to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the eldest prince... has brought the princess back to the general's mansion."

"Xiao Yuxi?!" A fierce murderous intent flashed across Xiao Yuchen's eyes, and his tone was so cold that it seemed to be able to freeze the air around him.

He clenched his hands into fists, veins bulging, revealing the raging anger and unwillingness in his heart.

Xiao Yuxi? ! !

Xiao Yuchen's face was grim and his hands clenched unconsciously. The scene of the two of them looking at each other and laughing at the door of the bookstore emerged in his mind.

And the way Xiao Yuxi looked at Jiang Tangxi these few times...

"Xiao Yuxi, you are still like this after all!" Xiao Yuchen narrowed his eyes, revealing an unprecedented coldness and determination, "I will never let you touch my things, even if I have to discard them like rags. If you want to take them, I will make sure you get nothing!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeves fiercely, turned around and ordered Yin Zhou, his voice mixed with majesty that could not be disobeyed: "You, quickly gather a team of elite soldiers and follow this prince to the eldest prince's mansion. I want to see what ability this Xiao Yuxi has that dares to compete with me for it!"
