A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"Aunt Jiang, Sangsang, you are here. Aunt Jiang, let me help you wash." Xie Xingchen's gentle voice suddenly sounded by the river, like an untimely wind, abruptly interrupting the words that Yi Duoer was about to say.

Yi Duoer couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She thought to herself that she could only find another opportunity to tell Aunt Jiang.

Xie Xingchen had his signature smile on his face, as bright as the warm spring sun. He hid beside Aunt Jiang lightly, took the clothes gracefully with his slender fingers, and started washing them by himself.

He knew clearly in his heart that Yi Duoer and Aunt Jiang had a good relationship. In order to win Yi Duoer's heart, he felt it was necessary to please Aunt Jiang from time to time. Therefore, he was extremely attentive at this moment, and the flattery between his eyebrows seemed to be overflowing.

"Your Highness, how can you do these rough jobs? Let me do it." Jiang Wange quickly reached out and pushed him over, her action was a bit anxious.

Seeing the two of them pushing and shoving each other, Yi Duoer couldn't help but burst out laughing. That smile was like a beautiful blooming flower, instantly lighting up the entire riverside.

In the golden glow of the morning sun, her stunningly beautiful cheeks glowed softly, as if shrouded in a faint halo, so beautiful and dreamy that it was extremely eye-catching.

Xie Xingchen felt his eyes light up, and was instantly captivated by her charming appearance. He even looked at her like a dazed person for a moment.

Jiang Wange saw all of this and her heart skipped a beat. She was filled with worry, fearing that Xie Xingchen had some improper thoughts about Yi Duoer.

After all, Yi Duoer once said that he already had a Crown Princess, and Jiang Wange really didn't want to see Yi Duoer become someone else's concubine.

So, she quickly spoke, trying to wake up the obsessed Xie Xingchen: "Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yi Duoer also keenly noticed Xie Xingchen's loss of composure. She rolled her eyes and said in a joking tone:

"I know that I am extremely beautiful, but you don't have to stare at me like that. Be careful if your princess finds out, or you'll be sent back to your desk." Her playful words were like a pair of sharp scissors, decisively cutting off Xie Xingchen's newly emerged thoughts.

She knew very well that if she didn't make a decision, she would suffer the consequences. When it comes to matters of the heart, she must not drag her feet.

When Xie Xingchen heard this, a bitter taste rose in his heart. The taste was like eating an unripe green fruit, and the sourness spread across the tip of his tongue.

But he was so overwhelmed by his emotions at the moment that he didn't care about anything else, not even that Aunt Jiang was beside him.

He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and said bluntly: "Come back to Dongli Kingdom with me! I will make you the happiest woman in the world." His tone was sincere and firm, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Yi Duoer sighed softly, and that soft sigh seemed to express her helplessness. She refused without hesitation:

"I'm not going to Dongli Country. I've told you many times that I don't love you. Although I like handsome men, I don't have to possess them. You should treat the Crown Princess who loves you wholeheartedly at home, or the concubines who love you well, instead of cheating on them!"

Xie Xingchen felt like he was poured with a basin of cold water from head to toe, and the enthusiasm in his heart was instantly extinguished.

His heart was filled with loss and unwillingness, so he simply turned around, unwilling to listen to Yi Duoer's words that pierced his heart like sharp arrows.

Seeing him like this, Yi Duoer felt a little sorry for him and continued to add helplessly:

"Don't be like this, Xie Xingchen, you are very good. You are handsome and have a good figure. You are rich and powerful. The most important thing is that you have a good temper. You can have any woman you want. Why do you only want me? How about this, when I return to the capital, I will introduce you to many beauties." Her words became more and more outrageous, trying to use this method to ease the awkward and heavy atmosphere.

Xie Xingchen simply said that he would definitely take her back to Dongli Kingdom, and then left without looking back.

He knew that if he stayed any longer, the anger and resentment in his heart might make him do something outrageous.

Yi Duoer looked at his back as he walked away, and felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart, heavy.

She simply sat down on the grass, sighed helplessly, and thought to herself that even if she successfully escaped, this trouble would still follow her.

Alas, sometimes being too beautiful and being noticed by others is not a good thing.

Jiang Wange gently raised her hand and placed it gently on Yi Duoer's hand. That silent gesture seemed to convey endless comfort. Yi Duoer raised her eyes and smiled helplessly at Jiang Wange.

"Aunt Jiang, I can see that Tuoba Yu respects you very much and is still very infatuated with you. Do you really have no feelings for him at all?" Yi Duoer asked in a puzzled tone.

Jiang Wange's soft cheeks looked slightly pale, as if stained with a faint sadness by the years.

Although she once hated the late emperor, she and the late emperor had also truly loved each other, and that love had long been deeply rooted in her heart.

No matter how good another man is, her heart is like a lock and she will never fall in love with anyone else.

She shook her head slowly, her movements gentle yet firm. Yi Duoer understood what was happening, and fearing that further questioning would bring back painful memories for Jiang Wange, she stopped asking.

She turned around and reached out to help Jiang Wange wash the clothes. After all, her own clothes were also in there.

In a tent in the royal court, Tuoba Hong was lying leisurely on the couch, looking extremely comfortable.

A graceful and charming woman nestled in his arms like a vine. Her slender fingers gently picked a grape, and with a hint of playfulness and coquettishness, she slowly put it into Tuoba Hong's mouth.

"Little Khan, is it sweet?" The woman's coquettish voice echoed in the tent. Tuoba Hong's face was full of enjoyment. He stretched out his hand, gently stroked the woman's chin, and teased:

"No matter how sweet it is, it's not as sweet as your mouth." After saying that, he gently kissed the woman's cherry lips.

This intimate gesture made a young man standing below feel extremely embarrassed. His face flushed red, and his eyes wandered around in panic, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into. Fortunately, Tuoba Hong did not last too long.

He straightened his clothes slightly, his eyes instantly became sharp, and asked:

"How's the task I asked you to do going?" His voice was gentle but carried an undeniable intimidation.

The young man quickly replied respectfully:

"Reporting to the young Khan, your guess was correct. I secretly captured a slave from Jiangzhou. After some threats, she revealed that during tomorrow's celebration, all the slaves would escape and head south all the way to Dingchuan."

Tuoba Hong nodded slightly, a faint smile on his lips, with a hint of pride in that smile, as if everything was under his control.

He thought to himself, tomorrow, he'll send them all back to Hades' Palace. Not a single one of them will escape. "Go arrange some experts to ambush them at the Twin Demon Peaks as they pass by. Kill them all without mercy."

His tone was cold and decisive, as if he had issued a death sentence.

The young man nodded in agreement, not daring to delay for even a moment, and quickly left the tent to prepare.

Seeing that no one was disturbing her, the woman boldly reached out and put her arms around his neck, calling him in a tender voice. Tuoba Hong looked down, revealed an evil smile, and leaned over again.

The next morning, the city of Tiger Ju was bustling with activity. People flocked to the ceremony site like a tide. The streets and alleys were almost empty, with only the guards remaining at their posts.

Yi Duoer and Gu Yizhou's lieutenants Chen Sheng and Yuan Meng took advantage of this perfect opportunity and sneaked into the cell like ghosts.

The cell was dark and damp, filled with a foul smell. They carefully avoided the patrolling jailers and successfully bewitched the guards.

Afterwards, they quickly replaced Wei Yan with a prisoner. The whole process was tense and exciting, like walking on a knife edge.

When Yi Duoer successfully rescued Wei Yan, she did not feel relieved, but instead felt a strong sense of unease.

She frowned, secretly wondering in her heart that everything was going too smoothly, so smoothly that it seemed unreal.

Wei Yan was already half dead at this time, leaning weakly on Chen Sheng.

Yi Duoer expressed her worries, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Yuan Meng was comforting her. She patted Yi Duo'er's shoulder and said, "Now that we have rescued the master, there is no turning back."

After hearing her words, Yi Duoer thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense. She could only comfort herself silently in her heart, "When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; when the water comes, we will block it with earth."

At this time, Mr. Yan led everyone to the designated location as scheduled.

Old Yan's weather-beaten face was filled with anxiety. He shouted, "Go, go quickly. If it's too late, you won't be able to leave."

Yi Duoer looked around but did not see Xie Xingchen.

She was confused and asked Mr. Chen quickly. Mr. Chen shook his head, saying he didn't know either, and only said that Xie Xingchen didn't come with them.

Although Yi Duoer was a little confused, she soon figured it out. He was the prince of Dongli Kingdom and had a special status, so he could naturally leave Huju with good reason.

So, everyone ran all the way in a hurry, and their footsteps echoed on the road like thunder.

Jiang Wange was relatively weak and had accidentally sprained her foot several times. Yi Duoer saw this and quickly supported her, holding her tightly and not leaving her side for a moment.

At this time, a secret guard sent by Xie Xingchen secretly lurked in their team like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness.

He walked forward calmly and supported Wei Yan, but when no one was paying attention, he secretly tampered with him and secretly gave her a powder that was enough to drive her crazy and kill her.

Near noon, they arrived at the Twin Demon Peaks. It was like a dead place, with no grass growing and the ground cracked like a turtle's shell.

The air was so dry that it made one's throat smoke. There were only rows of towering rocks forming hills. The rocks were in strange shapes, like ferocious beasts, standing there quietly.

With years of work experience, Yi Duoer keenly sensed the danger.

She quickly called everyone and shouted:

"Everyone should be careful. I always feel that something is wrong here." As soon as she finished speaking, like a signal, swarms of sharp arrows came like raindrops.

The sharp arrow cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. Everyone screamed and quickly looked for places to take cover. For a moment, the scene fell into extreme chaos.
