The leaves fall without parallel

"Qingge, don't..."

Xiao Lingche didn't have time to catch her, and he fell to the side of the boat, with one hand frozen in mid-air.

With a "plop" sound, Ye Qingge dived into the water, and the water rippled. After a long time, there was no sign of Ye Qingge.

Xiao Lingche was so anxious that he jumped into the water to look for her, but he could not see anything in the water at night.

"Qingge, Qingge..."

No matter how much he called out, there was no response. Could she have sunk to the bottom of the lake? Xiao Lingche couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he remembered that she could swim, so maybe she had swum to shore.

After Xiao Lingche made up his mind, he flew onto the boat and told the boatman to dock.

Ye Qingge didn't expect the water to be so cold. She regretted it after jumping down. She was too impulsive just now. No matter what, she couldn't let herself down. But it seemed a bit awkward to go up now. Forget it, she didn't want to continue arguing with Xiao Lingche. She was so angry that her blood pressure soared.

She didn't want Xiao Lingche to find her, so she dived into the water and swam towards the shore. Fortunately, it was not far from the shore, otherwise she would not be able to hold it in. She heard Xiao Lingche calling her in the water, but she ignored him and let him find her. He spoke better than he sang. He thought he was a pure love warrior.

Ye Qingge swam ashore. Fortunately, her carriage was still there. Qingxia, who was waiting beside the carriage, saw Ye Qingge coming towards her with her hair and clothes dripping with water. She was startled and quickly ran forward to ask,

"Miss, what's wrong with you, aren't you with the prince? How did it become like this?"

She was so anxious that she almost cried. It was her fault that she didn't take good care of the young lady.

Ye Qingge wiped the water off her face with both hands, then walked while holding up her skirt and wringing out the water. Seeing Qingxia was about to cry, she quickly comforted her.

"I'm fine, Qingxia, you see I'm fine. As for the prince, I didn't want to stay with him, so I swam back by myself."

"Miss, why didn't you let the prince take you back? It's so dangerous. It's late at night and you can't see. What if, what if... Qingxia can only die to atone for her sins, wuwuwu..."

Why did this girl burst into tears while talking? Seeing that she was so worried about herself, Ye Qingge was moved.

"Silly girl, stop crying. I'm your daughter, blessed with a long life. I won't die. That prince is unreasonable. He deliberately sent you away with the intention of plotting something bad against me. I would rather die than surrender, so I had no choice but to jump into the water to save myself. Do you think he will send me back?"

Ye Qingge exaggerated and made up a reason, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain. However, Xiao Lingche did touch her just now, so she didn't wrongly accuse him.

Qingxia opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief

"Ah... That prince looked like a gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be so disgusting and filthy behind the scenes. I thought he had his men take me away, saying they didn't want to disturb you two. I thought the prince must be a romantic man and wanted to watch the moon with you, but I didn't expect him to have bad intentions towards you. I'm sorry, Miss, it's my fault for not protecting you well. Next time, I will definitely stay by your side."

Qingxia spoke with righteous indignation, as if she was ready to die. Ye Qingge suddenly felt that it was not good to lie to her, but she didn't want to explain. She just wanted to leave quickly, otherwise it would be bad if Xiao Lingche caught up with her.

"Thank you, Qingxia, but I'm too cold now, let's go back quickly."

"Okay, miss, let's go."

She helped Ye Qingge onto the carriage and told the driver to hurry up, as if there were wolves chasing them. She was truly afraid that the prince would catch up again, and if they couldn't escape, it would be troublesome. She was even more anxious than Ye Qingge.

Royal Palace

Behind a rockery somewhere in the Imperial Garden, Xuan Lie reported everything that happened today to the Crown Prince.

"Master, Miss Ye has returned safely to the Ye Mansion, but..."

The man tapped the wheelchair handle

"Just what?"

Xuan Lie paused and said

"Prince Xuan chased after Ye Mansion"

The prince's eyes turned cold instantly

Xuan Lie looked at his master's face and said

"That Prince Xuan is so shameless! Miss Ye even jumped into the water to escape him, but he still pursued her relentlessly."

The man clenched his fists. He hated himself for not being able to be with Qingge. Xiao Lingche, oh Xiao Lingche, if you can't bring happiness to Qingge, then stay away from her. Qingge's life is in danger every time she is with him. This time it was diving, what will it be next time?

He must have said something stupid to make Qingge so angry that she would rather jump into the water than stay with him.

It's just that he can't appear in front of her now. He doesn't know if she is still angry with him. If he gives him some time, he will deal with everything and then officially appear in front of her. Even if she still doesn't forgive him, it doesn't matter. As long as she is happy, that's all.

"Have you finished what you were asked to do?"

"Master, don't worry. I sent a gift box to the Ye Mansion in the name of the Queen. Old Madam Ye is very happy."

"Um"

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to custom, the palace has to hold a sacrificial ceremony. The Queen Mother, the Emperor and the ladies of the palace have to attend. As the prince, he is also one of the protagonists of the sacrificial ceremony and has to participate in this event.

After the sacrificial ceremony, they had to gather together for a reunion dinner. At this time, the palace banquet was still in progress. He came out of the imperial garden on the pretext of getting some fresh air, and only after listening to Xuan Lie's report did he know what Qingge had done that day.

He knew that this little girl had excellent medical skills, but he didn't expect that her medical skills had been so advanced that she could even save the dying. Just now, when he heard Xuan Lie's description, his heart was also excited. The scene must be even more shocking.

He could imagine how serious she was about her work, as if any difficulty was nothing to her. Her presence made people feel at ease. Qingge, how many surprises do you have in store for me that I don't know?

At this moment, he thought of the days he spent with Qingge. She was like a little sun that suddenly broke into his life, making his originally gloomy days brighter. He was no longer negative and decadent.

He didn't know what happiness was before, but Qingge made him see the embodiment of happiness. He felt that his life seemed to have a goal, which was to protect her and make her happy for the rest of her life. He made a promise in his heart and he is working hard now. Qingge, you must wait for me.

His eyes, which were full of tenderness just now, became fierce again.

"Next time, if she is in danger again, you don't need to ask me for permission, just help her directly."

If there was no matter in the palace today, he would not have put Qingge in danger. How dangerous is it for a girl to swim in the water at night?

"Yes, master"

Xuan Lie thought for a moment and asked again

"But if we do this, will our identities be exposed? What if Miss Ye doesn't accept it?"

"Then you won't pretend?"

The man glanced at him

"You've spent all these years in Hua Man Lou in vain."

"Oh, I was confused. I thought the master wanted to help openly."

Xuan Lie touched the back of his head awkwardly. Leaving no flaws is the most basic professional ethics for a killer.

The man looked at the bright moon in the sky and spoke softly

“Not Yet”
