Best friends travel through time together! Marry the paranoid! Divorce together

Xiao Chenyuan pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, "I've surveyed the surrounding terrain. There's a lake about a kilometer away, with graceful lotus flowers reflected in it."

Lotus...

Shen Pianzhi's heartstrings trembled, and her heart surged. She tightened her grip on his sleeve, "Prince, take me there quickly!"

Xiao Chenyuan seemed to have realized something and said no more. He carried Shen Pianzhi onto the horse with one hand, placed her there, and rode away.

Shen Pianzhi was so close to him that she could clearly hear his heartbeat like a drum.

She tilted her head slightly to look at him, and could only see his sharp jawline and straight nose.

For some reason, he usually exuded a cold aura, but today he became gentler and less aggressive.

Perhaps noticing her gaze, Xiao Chenyuan lowered his eyes to look at her, "Why? Are you bewitched by me?"

"Your Highness, when did you become so narcissistic?" Shen Pianzhi couldn't help but complain.

Xiao Chenyuan said: "This prince is indeed quite good-looking, so it's not wrong to be narcissistic."

Shen Pianzhi was speechless for a moment.

Well, he's right.

She had no rebuttal.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Chenyuan gently pulled the reins, the horse stopped, and he dismounted.

Shen Pianzhi, who was sitting on the horse, blinked. When she was about to get off, he grabbed her waist and her feet landed steadily on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Pianzhi raised her eyes and glanced at the lake.

With just one glance, her pupils suddenly dilated and her voice trembled a little, "Prince, look!"

Xiao Chenyuan followed her gaze and his eyes fell on the dazzling crimson lake surface.

The lotus flowers were in disarray, with pink stamens floating on the lake. The boat had capsized, and there were obvious signs of a fight.

"I'll go down and find out what's going on!" Shen Pianzhi wanted to jump into the lake.

Xiao Chenyuan took off his cloak and wrapped her tightly, his tone brooking no room for argument: "Wait for me here, don't run around."

Without waiting for Shen Pianzhi to nod, Xiao Chenyuan jumped into the lake.

He slowly dived to the bottom of the lake, the strong smell of blood going straight to his nose.

The smell of blood is even stronger in this area.

Someone had obviously been injured here.

But he didn't know if it was Duan Yian and Chi Feiwan.

Shen Pianzhi stood on the shore, her eyes full of anxiety.

This lake looks as deep as a cold pond, with treacherous waves and clouds, and danger is everywhere.

She was not only worried about Duan Yian and Chi Feiwan, but also about Xiao Chenyuan.

Time passed slowly, but Shen Pianzhi still didn't see Xiao Chenyuan surface.

She couldn't help but clench her fingertips that were hanging at her side, and panic spread in her heart.

Shen Pianzhi was really anxious. Her fingertips fell on the bow and just as she was about to untie it, she saw Xiao Chenyuan surface and swim towards her.

Xiao Chenyuan came ashore, the lake water soaked his clothes, outlining his curves and muscles.

Shen Pianzhi's eyes moved upwards to his handsome face, "Did you find anything?"

"There is no one at the bottom of the lake, but the water is dyed red. Obviously someone was injured in the lake, and more than one person." Xiao Chenyuan said.

Shen Pianzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Could it be them..."

Xiao Chenyuan handed over a purse embroidered with a sunset glow, "I found it at the bottom of the lake."

Shen Pianzhi took it and looked at it. Her pupils trembled suddenly, and she said in a trembling voice: "This is Wanwan's purse. I saw her take it out before. They must have been injured. I want to go down and look for them..."

As she spoke, she was about to jump into the lake.

Xiao Chenyuan hugged her waist, his eyes cold, and said in a low voice: "Shen Pianzhi, calm down. I didn't find them at the bottom of the lake. They must have been rescued."

"I want to go find it myself..." Shen Pianzhi's eyes were shining with tears.

Xiao Chenyuan frowned slightly, "Why? Don't you trust your husband?"

Shen Pianzhi stopped struggling after hearing this.

Since he jumped into the lake to look for it, he must not have lied to her.

She should have believed him.

Besides, she couldn't swim, so jumping in would be tantamount to seeking death.

Shen Pianzhi's eyelashes flickered, and she took off the cloak on her shoulders and put it on him.

Xiao Chenyuan lowered his eyes to observe her every move, then laughed and said, "Are you worried that I'll freeze to death?"

It was already this late, and he still had the mood to tease her.

Shen Pianzhi clenched her fingertips and tied his cloak, then suddenly changed the subject, "Where should we find them?"

Xiao Chenyuan raised his eyebrows and stared at her with an ambiguous look.

Shen Pianzhi was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "Yes, I was just concerned about the prince."

Xiao Chenyuan was slightly satisfied and said calmly, "I'll send someone to search nearby."

Shen Pianzhi pointed at herself and asked, "What about me?"

Xiao Chenyuan: "Come with me to explore the surrounding area to see if there are any clues."

Upon hearing this, Shen Pianzhi immediately began to explore the surroundings.

The dense bushes are stacked layer upon layer, with vines entwined. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting sparse light and shadows on the ground.

This way it's less weird.

Shen Pianzhi saw a tall and straight shadow reflected in the bushes, slowly turned around, and bumped into Xiao Chenyuan's inky pupils.

Her heart suddenly sank, "My Lord, why are you following me? Let's act separately!"

"Of course, it's to protect the lady." Xiao Chenyuan said righteously.

Shen Pianzhi's eyes were slightly stunned. Is he protecting her?

Xiao Chenyuan's eyes curved up, and his tone was calm, "What if the bad guys are hiding in the jungle and deliberately hurt Madam?"

Shen Pianzhi's heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned her head back.

No, why was she so nervous that she didn't dare to look him in the eye?

Xiao Chenyuan glanced at the path in the jungle, his eyes narrowed immediately, "There's blood there, let's follow it..."

"Okay!" Shen Pianzhi nodded.

……

The spies claimed that the Seventh Prince had appeared in the canyon area.

He Chaoye took Xiang Huaiyue to search the surrounding area.

Unexpectedly, when passing a lake, he heard a woman's cry.

Xiang Huaiyue saw ripples on the lake and cried out in surprise, "Someone fell in!"

He Chaoye ordered the guards to go down and rescue people.

After a while, the two injured people were rescued.

Xiang Huaiyue took off his cloak and put it on the woman. When his eyes met her face, his expression suddenly changed, "Wanwan..."

How could it be Wanwan?

Could it be that Wanwan also came through?

Does that prove that Shen Pianzhi and Yu Huan also came through?

But how could Wanwan get hurt?

Who is the man next to her?

Both of them were injured, but the man's injuries were much more serious than Wanwan's.

The man's body was covered with holes, and bright red blood was still gushing out.

If he continues to flow like this, he will probably die.

Xiang Huaiyue's eyes were filled with panic. He looked up at He Chaoye and asked first, "Your Highness, is your Highness acquainted with them?"

"Yes, save them quickly..." Xiang Huaiyue choked.

It was the first time that He Chaoye saw her so flustered. It must be that the two of them were extremely important to her.

He did not dare to delay in the slightest and ordered the guards to take the man to the hospital for treatment.

Xiang Huaiyue also followed.

She was so flustered that she didn't even notice that her hairpin had fallen to the ground.

He Chaoye asked the other guards to find the whereabouts of the seventh prince, picked up the walking stick and followed her.
