C28 co-riding

The horses galloped through the inky night, leaving the noise of the inn far behind.

Nothing could be seen, not even the road ahead.

Amidst the cold wind, Shen Lingjue's warm breath would occasionally pass by her ears.

There was almost no distance between the two of them. As their bodies collided against each other during the bumpy ride, Feng Ningyan could clearly feel his heart beating.

After leaving the vicinity of Celestial Wolf Mountain, Shen Lingjue rode her horse slowly. Seeing Feng Ningyan's sullen expression, her gaze became as deep as mist.

"Still worried?"

Feng Ningyan did not turn back as she cautiously looked at the dark forest in the distance. "The guards of the Duke Palaces were killing the assassins as if they were radishes, if they did not leave anyone alive, it would be difficult to find out who was the mastermind …"

Shen Lingjue smiled craftily, "Idiot, since this king has received the news of an assassination attempt, could it be that I have no way of finding the mastermind?"

"You already have a clue?" Feng Ningyan asked.

Shen Lingjue looked down at her expectant gaze, and was stunned into silence.

After a while, he came back to his senses, but his handsome face was filled with a layer of killing intent.

"This King will not spare anyone who is unfavorable to Princess Hua-Yang."

This gaze made Feng Ningyan's heart turn cold.

She had always thought that Shen Lingjue was a humble, reserved, and gentle person. He was the emperor's most beloved prince, yet she was willing to be lonely, and not fight against each other at all.

But at that moment, she seemed to have seen Shen Lingjue's other side.

When he tried to guess the assassin's ambush point, he had already revealed a certain ruthlessness. But now, his entire body was suffused with the killing intent of gods and buddhas.

Feng Ningyan turned her head to look at him, thinking, could it be that I was mistaken about this person in my previous life?

At this time, Hua Ruoyu's last words to her in her previous life suddenly echoed in her ears.

"Even now, you still don't understand why I hate you. On the way to the Yellow Springs, you should ask Shen Lingjue!"

A light suddenly flashed through Feng Ningyan's mind.

Hua Ruoyu started from love, and hated Shen Lingjue. She wanted to exterminate him, this meant, could it be, the love in Shen Lingjue's heart, was Feng Ningyan?

This thought flashed across Feng Ningyan's mind, but shocked her so much that she broke out in cold sweat.

No, that's not possible. The two of them had not interacted much in their past life. However, after a few royal banquets and a few chance encounters with the harem, where would they get the chance to have a relationship with each other?

Feng Ningyan looked at the side of Shen Lingjue's face, feeling unsettled, she asked dumbly: "Your Highness, if King Cheng were to rush to my father and propose marriage with him, what would happen to you?"

When Shen Lingjue heard it, she seriously thought for a moment: "Fourth brother is rich and elegant, he works diligently and advances, he is gentle and considerate, and after marriage, he will definitely be a good husband. If he were to propose marriage earlier than this king, I would naturally wish all of you well. "

Feng Ningyan slightly smiled, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.

That's right, at the general's estate dinner in my previous life, I put on heavy makeup and lost my composure. Naturally, he wouldn't like me.

He wanted to emphasize brotherly love, so he had no doubts about Shen Youhuang and naturally wouldn't send assassins to kill me.

Afterwards, when I became the wife of the King Cheng, he was a dragon and phoenix amongst men. Hua Ruoyu definitely had a misunderstanding.

She smiled, her thoughts in disarray.

But Shen Lingjue felt that her smile was weird.

He frowned, and suddenly shouted: "Feng Ningyan! What do you mean by laughing like that? Could it be that the reason why you ran away from the marriage was because you loved This King's Fourth Brother? "

Feng Ningyan was almost scared off her horse. She glared at him with disdain: "What nonsense is Your Highness spouting? If I ever had a trace of good will towards Shen Youhuang in my life, then I deserve to never be able to reincarnate! "
