"But, but we can't waste it like this, right?"

The Arctic fox is a very precious animal. A fox fur made from a piece of its fur is worth a fortune, let alone so much fox fur!

Did Shi Yi disturb the Arctic fox's lair?

"Don't waste it. No matter how precious the fox fur is, it is not worth one of Yue'er's toes."

Uh, this man...

There are so many people watching, why don’t you say sweet words in a special occasion?

When Ji Chenglin saw this scene, he felt a little envious.

It would be great if Brother Qingwen could treat her half as well as the prince treats Sister Qingyue.

She looked up and glanced at the man secretly, and found that his attention was on Wu Qingyue and the other two.

She lowered her head sadly.

When Xiao Muheng and Wu Yinshuang saw this scene, each one felt more nauseous than the other!

Six people got on three carriages.

When they arrived at Qingshan Temple, although the road was a bit bumpy, Wu Qingyue did not feel uncomfortable because of the fox fur.

"Shi Yi."

"Well, I'm here."

"I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

"Well, you said."

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"This prince likes Yue'er, so I treat Yue'er well."

"But why do you like me?"

This is something she couldn't figure out in both of her lives.

"Yue'er wants to know?"

"think."

"Okay." His expression suddenly became serious: "Yue'er, do you still remember the Qiqiao Festival eight years ago?"

"Eight years ago?"

She thought hard, but found nothing unusual. She shook her head: "I don't remember. What's wrong?"

"During the Qiqiao Festival that year, I sneaked out of the palace to play, but I was accidentally captured by a group of human traffickers. It was you who accidentally saved me!"

After he said this, Wu Qingyue seemed to have a vague impression in her mind.

Qiqiao Festival, lanterns, the boy in the alley...

"I remember now!"

She slapped her head and said, "You are the big brother with the bruised face!"

"What a messed up face!"

Xiao Shiyi was furious. "That was the soot the traffickers smeared on my face to prevent me from revealing my true identity!"

Thinking about it now, he feels so dirty!

He had never been so humiliated since he was a child!

"No wonder I didn't remember you."

Wu Qingyue curled her lips and said, "Your face was painted black at the time, how could I know it was you?"

I really don't remember him.

And this incident is definitely a dark history in his life!

He remembered how he had sneaked out of the palace on the Qiqiao Festival eight years prior. While releasing lanterns by the river, he was knocked unconscious by a human trafficker! He woke up in a remote alley, his hands and feet bound, his mouth stuffed with a cloth. He learned from the two people watching him that the traffickers, seeing how "handsome" he was, planned to sell him to a brothel for a large sum.

He was horrified, and when the two men turned around, he bent his body and slammed into them fiercely.

When the two men were knocked down, he quickly jumped and fled in the opposite direction, but he was caught after only taking two steps!

"You little bastard, you dare to run away? I'll beat you to death!"

As he said that, the man pushed him to the ground and kicked him hard! He vomited blood and felt a nauseous stomach churn.

I don't know how long the man kept kicking before another person stopped him and said, "Alright, alright, just cool down. If you really beat him to death, where will we get the money?"

The person who beat him stopped only when he thought what the other person said made sense.

But he was "born to be rebellious" and wanted to escape again -

They caught him again immediately!

This time the man was completely furious, and his fists fell like crazy. Except for his face, his whole body was covered with bruises!

Just when he thought he was going to die, a few people came and beat the two men away.

"Little brother, don't be afraid. We have chased the bad guys away."

The girl's soft and tender voice came, full of concern and worry. This was the first time he felt warmth since his mother's death; and this warmth was given by a little girl.

Then, he saw a face that looked like the Queen Mother of the West, coming against the light.

The little girl didn't mind his dirty face at all. She took out her handkerchief and patiently wiped the dirt off his face. But the more she wiped, the dirtier it got!

Her handkerchief was stained and not wiped clean, so she was so angry that she threw it away!

"What a tattered handkerchief! You're actually going against me!"

When he heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but every time he laughed, his skin and flesh would hurt, so he quickly held back his laughter.

Soon, the people around her came to find her. Before leaving, she was "considerate" enough to leave him a large ingot of silver, "Little brother, go buy some clean clothes to change into."

He looked at the silver in his arms and fell into deep thought. It was not until she had gone far away that he remembered that he had not yet asked her name.

Just as he was about to catch up, he vaguely heard one of her servants say, "Miss, the Marquis is back."

Mr. Hou?

There is only one "Marquis" in Kyoto, and that is Marquis Wu Chiwei.

It turned out that she was the daughter of Wu Hou.

After knowing her identity, he was no longer in a hurry to pursue her.

People can't run away, right?

After returning to the palace, he began to strengthen himself and constantly "hinted" at others about her dynamics -

It turns out that her name is Wu Qingyue.

What a nice name.

"Those two people are human traffickers, but they actually want to sell you to a brothel???"

She looked at his face, and then rubbed it vigorously——

It’s too much, a grown man’s skin is better than hers!

"Ahem, just planning."

"Luckily, I didn't sell you. But why didn't you bring a few people with you to protect you when you left the palace?"

Xiao Shiyi: "...got separated."

Wu Qingyue: "...Okay then."

Xiao Shiyi hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Yue'er, thank goodness you showed up in time to save your husband and preserve his innocence."

"...Then you won't fall in love with me just because of this, right?"

"Well, not entirely. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Yue'er saved my husband. I can never repay you for saving my life. I will definitely give you my life!"

Wu Qingyue: “…”

And "commit yourself to me"?

Before the two of them could say a word, they arrived at Qingshan Temple.

Xiao Shiyi got off the carriage first, then helped the woman get off the horse.

After getting off the horse, Wu Qingyue was about to leave when Xiao Shiyi called out, "Wait a minute!"

He took out a thicker cloak from the carriage and put it around her. "The wind is strong on the mountain, not as strong as at the foot of the mountain. Wear something to be safe."

The autumn wind was a little chilly, but once she put on the cloak, she really didn't feel cold anymore.

It's just this cloak...

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly——

How many Arctic foxes' nests has he disturbed?

"What's wrong, Yue'er, you don't like this cloak?"
