As she spoke, she raised her head and coincidentally saw two birds fly past the top of the tree. They flapped their wings, and during this period of time, a fallen leaf slowly fell onto the horse's body.

"Hoh, they won't even let the horses go. In order to take care of you, they really did do everything they could." Feng Yunzheng watched as the horse gradually closed its eyes and died. Within his deep eyes, there was a trace of killing intent along with indifference. He said, "How do you want to repay them?"

He does it.

"This horse's name is Qi Feng. It is Yi'er's favorite horse, so naturally, he can't just die in vain." She walked to the side, picked up three chrysanthemums, and placed them in front of the horse. She stood up and looked at the wind with white foam around her lips. Her eyes were sharp and determined.

"Then, I will have someone pay for it." Feng Yunzheng looked at the three flowers and lightly said. They were gently swaying in the wind.

"The horse is dead. Now we can only walk out of the forest." Lian Ruyue's eyes slightly narrowed as she looked towards the sky. The sky was about to turn dark, so they had to leave this forest before nightfall.

If they did not appear at the usual bonfire party at night, there would probably be gossip. She was not afraid, but was afraid that it would implicate Feng Yunzheng. After all, he was a prince and the imperial concubine had to take care of him.

"Alright, let's go." Walking out with her, Feng Yunzheng's heart was suddenly a little excited.

The road in the forest was sometimes flat and sometimes bumpy. The two of them walked and stopped.

In front of the crescent moon and behind Feng Yunzheng, the afterglow of the setting sun shined upon his body, casting a long, long shadow.

He walked slowly, his gentle gaze never leaving her back — in her young body was a heart that had lived for two lifetimes.

They were both the same, old and young.

Walking and walking, the number of trees in front increased, so Feng Yunzheng quickly walked forward. In front of him, his thorny branches and brambles would spread apart to the sides, leaving behind a wide enough space so that Lian Ruyue could walk without being harmed at all.

After walking for a very long time, the back of his hand was accidentally cut by a few thorns. He quietly hid his hand inside his sleeve, allowing Lian Ruyue to walk in front of him.

The two of them did not speak, but somehow, there was an atmosphere of tacit understanding between them.

"Are you thirsty?" After walking a few more steps, Feng Yunzheng suddenly asked.

Originally, Lian Ru Yue didn't think that since he asked, she would feel thirsty, so she said, "I'm a little thirsty, let's go quickly."

"Wait." Lian Ruyue turned her head back and saw Feng Yunzheng's childish naivety on his face. "Stand here and don't move. Wait for me for a while."

Under her doubtful gaze, Feng Yunzheng walked up to a fruit-filled pear tree. He was so tall, so he reached out a hand and pulled a pear branch in front of him. He smiled and turned his head back to glance at Linyue and picked up three pears from the tree.

He used his sleeve to wipe the pear clean before passing it in front of her, "Eat, you can't be thirsty anymore."

Lian Ruyue looked at Riko in his big palm and reached out her hand to grab her. Holding her hand, she lowered her head and nibbled on the juice gently. It was sweet and tasty and her lips emitted a faint pear fragrance.

"Is it delicious?" he asked with a smile in his eyes, watching her eat.

"Very sweet, very fresh, and very thirsty." Her face was filled with satisfaction.

"That's good. Eat slowly. If you're not in a hurry, don't choke." As he watched her eat the pears he had personally picked, he felt that this was the happiest thing in the world.

Behind the hidden forest, when Leng Mei saw this situation, she wanted to push aside the branches and walk out, telling them what was happening at the hunting grounds.

"Wait." However, Ye Feng stretched out his hands to stop her, "It's best if you don't show yourself right now."

Leng Mei looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Why?" Very soon, people will come looking for us. "

"Every day I think, there are several portraits hanging in the study, they were all drawn by His Highness, some were eight years old, some were nine, some were twelve, some were fourteen, and some looked older, they looked like they were thirty, I don't know why he likes to paint people old, is this a special hobby?"

Not only that, he rejected one marriage after another. From the looks of it, he was determined to protect Eldest Miss for the rest of her life. Now that he finally had some time alone, he definitely hoped that time would stop here. So, if we go out and disturb him at this time, would he want to kill us? " Ye Feng put his hands on his chest and said with a smile.

Leng Mei understood the meaning behind Ye Feng's words, so she slowly withdrew her foot and continued to follow him from a distance, doing her utmost to protect him.

Yes, Your Highness has been very considerate towards Eldest Miss!

Lian Ru Yue lowered her head and finished eating a pear. She looked up and discovered that Feng Yunzheng was smiling at her the entire time. She didn't eat anything, but her face suddenly felt a little hot. How long had he been looking at her like this?

She looked away for a second, then handed the remaining one back to him, "You're not going to eat it? This pear tastes really good, even better than the pears I've eaten. "

"Sure, I'll eat." Feng Yunzheng took the pear and took a large bite. With one bite, half of the pear was gone. He said with a smile, "Yea, the taste is really good. It also quenches my thirst."

Lian Ruyue saw that he was always smiling and never stopped, so she couldn't help but to say, "I never knew that Ninth Prince liked to laugh."

In her past memories, Feng Yunzheng always had a carefree appearance and never took anything in the world to heart. When had he ever laughed like this?

"Is that so? Have I been laughing? " He pinched his own face with two fingers and smiled. "Why didn't I know?"

Such a tall and big man, when he was pinching his own face, he really … It was a bit against the rules.

"You always laugh. People who don't know think we're on a trip." Lian Ruyue stroked her forehead. Weren't they equivalent to 'fleeing for their lives' now? He was more optimistic than someone like her who had seen through two lifetimes.

"Is that so?" He touched his face that was full of anger and said, "Then let's just treat it as an outing."

"…" Lian Ru Yue suddenly felt that this man before her was as naive as a child. Her mood became relaxed along with it. A smile appeared on her pretty and clear face as she said, "Then let's continue our outing."

She laughed!

She smiled, and he suddenly felt his whole world light up.

The two of them continued walking down the slope. There were a lot of rocks on the road, and Lian Ruyue's feet were unsteady. She slid forward a bit — —

"Be careful!" Feng Yunzheng immediately reached out and grabbed her hand, and held it in his palm.

"It's fine, the road is a bit steep, I accidentally stepped on a rock." She touched her heart and said.
