Back then, she had been completely disheartened because of the death of the only person she cared about. She did not hesitate to perish together with that group of old people.

Compared to him, she was much more cowardly. If he had been stronger, perhaps he wouldn't have come here.

Shui Ruo couldn't help but laugh softly as he thought about this. The man heard the laughter. Jiang Wuyue turned around and looked at the man who was boiling the water. She was confused. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing, I just don't think you look like the crown prince at all."

"Because no one regards me as the crown prince either. If I don't do some things, no one will do it for me. It's not something that everyone is born to enjoy. "Since I can't enjoy it, I can only bear with it."

"You seem to be able to think it through, but it should be very difficult for you to do so, right?" Shui spoke in a relaxed manner and then squatted down beside him to start a fire with him.

"It's hard work, but I'm already used to it." Jiang Wuyue smiled.

"This is the first time I've ever done something like lighting a fire." Shui Ruo learned from the man and began to help. It just felt weird.

Her hands had never been stained with dust, but with blood.

But if she was given a choice, she preferred to deal with dust, or at least to be at ease.

The blood was imprinted in her mind, imprinted in her heart. Sooner or later, she might go crazy over the past.

No matter what, he would remember. In her dreams, she would feel uneasy, and then she would dream of those who had died at her hands.

"Are you unhappy?" Jiang Wuyue looked at the silent water. She was sensitive enough to realize that she wasn't in a good mood at the moment. For some reason, she seemed to be in a bad mood for a while.

Very soon, he would regain his usual spirit. The first time he saw her like this, he had been thinking. Perhaps, there was a darkness in her heart that no one else knew. However, she had to hide it more deeply than anyone else.

Now, he could be completely sure.

Mo Xi, that man, wouldn't fall for a shallow woman who didn't have any ability. Shui Ruo should have something that Mo Xi was interested in.

"I wonder when this water will be ready." The sound of the water was very soft, and as his words fell, Jiang Wuyue also laughed: "With so much water, it would probably take at least an hour."

"That long?" Water frowned. Smelling the smell on his body and the sticky feeling on his head made him feel bad. How could this happen!?

She had thought that after she came here, she might be hated by the people of Jiang Country, but she had never thought that their method of hating people would be this way. She also hadn't expected that there really wasn't a single servant in his mansion.

As for Night Emperor Xiu, he would at least allow his subordinates to take care of him in his estate.

However, since things had come to this, there was no other way.

As long as Water was able to endure the stench, he could continue boiling the water.

The two of them squatted down to boil the water. They did not speak to each other as if they had a tacit understanding. Then... When Qing Shui left that group and returned to the Crown Prince's Palace, he finally found two people there. He was stunned.

What was going on? Two people who looked very respectable were actually sitting together and lighting a fire? This was truly a scene.

When he appeared, Shui Long and Jiang Wuyue were both surprised.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Wuyue asked.

Hearing this, she nodded.

"That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle that group of people. In the past, it was always my subordinates that helped me, or I was the one who escaped on my own. Today, thank you very much. " Jiang Wuyue looked at Qing Qing and said solemnly.

Although Qing Qing was said to be his subordinate, she was not his deathsworn. To be able to come to the Jiang Country for him, it was already not an easy feat.

He knew what she wanted. But he couldn't give it to him. He was an unfortunate man, and if he fell in love with him, he would fall into misfortune.

He could let anyone get into this mess, but only this woman.

The woman who had saved him in his moment of despair was out of the question.

If it was possible, he hoped that this woman could find a good man to marry to and not spend her days like this by his side.

"Your Highness, let me do it." He walked over lightly, wanting to help Jiang Wuyue burn some firewood.

But he was stopped by Jiang Wuyue: "No need, you can leave. I don't need you here. "

Jiang Wuyue's words caused the girl's body to tremble. That 'I don't need you here' had provoked her. She didn't even say anything before she left.

"Is that okay?" Shui watched Jiang Wuyue clumsily kick him out, laughing and teasing him.

"There's nothing bad about it. It's not good for me to talk to you if she stays here."

"Is that so?" It was clear that Shui Ruo didn't believe it. Whether a person likes another person or not depends on the look in the person's eyes. When Jiang Wuyue was facing her, he always had a look of playfulness on his face and never lost his gentleness.

Maybe it's like that. But there was another feeling, one that was above love, and that was love.

When Jiang Wuyue was facing Qing Qing, that kind of gaze was hard to describe. He wouldn't say anything in front of Qing Qing, but he only said those words with concern. However, it could be seen that he cared a lot about Qingqing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left Qingqing by his side.

"If a woman is too smart, it will be annoying." Jiang Wuyue smiled.

"Is that so? It's a shame. I like being disliked.

"Jiang Wuyue, you actually like Qingqing, right?" Shui Long looked at Jiang Wuyue and changed the topic.

When Jiang Wuyue heard this, she immediately stopped burning.

"If you like it, then I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't push your beloved out, otherwise, you'll regret it."

Shui Long looked at Jiang Wuyue and said seriously.

Hearing this, Jiang Wuyue remained silent. There was no answer. Of course he knew about this. However, Qingqing was not suitable to be his woman.

Qingqing was a free chivalrous girl. She should have a wider sky.

"Actually, I feel that Lady Qingqing is very brave. It was all for the sake of following a man. I would never be able to do such a thing.

If I wasn't completely confident, I wouldn't have left with others either. " Shui gave a long sigh.

Jiang Wuyue fell silent. When he thought about how Ye Shang treated Shui Ruo so well, and how Shui Ruo treated him so well, he felt that this was indeed the case. However, it was because of this that he admired the woman in front of him.

"I think much more highly of you than she does. If you must marry, I probably want to marry you. " Jiang Wuyue looked at the water with a serious expression as she spoke.

"A lot of people want to marry me, but there shouldn't be two sincere people, right?

And why are you doing this? "

"Because you're smart." Jiang Wuyue said bluntly.

"This is truly false praise. If I were smart, why would I be here? Compared to this, if you really like Lady Qing Qing, it is better not to push her away. There are some things that once pushed away, you will never have another chance in your life. Women are like this. "

Shui Long finished his words and stopped talking.

Jiang Wuyue was carefully savoring her words, but didn't say anything.

He was not the Night Emperor. Even if he wanted to go to hell, he would drag the woman he liked. If he could, he hoped to be able to leave hell lightly. He could drag anyone into hell, except her.

"Ah, the water's boiling." The melodious voice of the water interrupted Jiang Wuyue's self-meditation.

Jiang Wuyue turned on the pot and started filling the wooden bucket with water. He filled three big wooden buckets with water and started helping the water run leisurely. He also helped himself with the water and gave it away gently.

When Jiang Wuyue carried the water to find Qing Qing, she was crying beside the lake in the crown prince's mansion.

"Why are you crying?" Seeing Qing Qing crying, Jiang Wuyue quickly put down the water bucket in her hands and asked out of concern.

Hearing that, he raised his head, and his eyes turned red. When he saw Jiang Wuyue, he quickly wiped his tears away, as if he was afraid that he would be noticed: "Nothing, nothing." I was just mesmerized by the sand. "

"Ha!" Is the sand in a daze? " Hearing that, Jiang Wuyue could not help but chuckle.

He squatted down and gently wiped away the tears on her face. "It's not suitable to lie at all. All you have to do is tell a lie and your expression will become extremely serious."

"My lord." She looked at Jiang Wuyue and mumbled.

"Shh, don't be noisy, just let me stay like this for a while." As Jiang Wuyue spoke, she threw herself into Qing Shui's arms, closed her eyes and had a look of enjoyment on her face.

With a slight blush on her face, she hugged Jiang Wuyue awkwardly, not daring to move at all.

"Well, you know what? I just want to run away and live alone in a place where no one knows me. "

"Master, you are the crown prince."

"Yes, I am the Crown Prince, so I cannot leave with the woman I love. I am the Crown Prince, so I cannot have anyone I like." But, who would think that I am the crown prince? "

Jiang Wuyue was a little lost when she said this.

Hearing this, her face turned serious. She looked at Jiang Wuyue with a serious face: "My master, I will see you as the Crown Prince for the rest of my life. Even if you don't admit it, I will see you as the Crown Prince."

"You can't stay with me all your life. Qing Qing, find a good man to marry to. " Jiang Wuyue was a little tired.

"…" A good man is you.

Qing Qing really wanted to say it out loud, but when she saw the Crown Prince like this, all she could do was suppress her words.

There were some things that, once spoken, would be finished.

It was as if he was just like Jiang Wuyue.

Gently looking at Jiang Wuyue, she clearly remembered what she had said to him when she first asked him to keep her.

At that time, when this person was about to leave, the wounds on her body had not been able to stop him. After that, she chose to run away, stay with him, and swore to never betray him.

To him, liking him was also a betrayal, right? What he needed was not a girl who liked him, but someone who could protect him. At that time, she had said that even if she died, she had to protect him.

Then he laughed. That smile was the most beautiful sight she had ever seen in her life.

"Your Highness." He gently caressed the man's face as he called out.

Hearing that, Jiang Wuyue's body trembled, not knowing what to say.

"Your Highness, can Qing Qing call you that from now on?" The woman's voice became very gentle, no longer cold and lifeless like before.

It was just like the first time they had met. At that time, Qing Qing was the daughter of a famous swordsman in the martial arts world. She was also very famous in the martial arts world.

She knew the art of music, calligraphy, and painting, and she could sing and dance well. He also knew martial arts. He is the target of many young masters chasing after him. If I didn't meet him, I might have been able to live a better life.

Now that she said it softly, he couldn't help but remember her expression when they first met. For a moment, he was stunned. Then he said, "You can't break the rules."

His words caused Qing Qing's face to turn pale. Yes, rules. It was impossible for her to be with Jiang Wuyue. His Highness only loved the Jiang Country, but she had fallen in love with him.

It was impossible for her to address him as' Your Highness' like everyone else, so she could only address him as' Lord '.

"Qing Qing, I'm a bit tired. Sorry about that today." Jiang Wuyue stood up.

Why don't you lie down for a while? She was slightly reluctant. However, he coldly nodded his head. He then watched as Jiang Wuyue left.

It wasn't that he didn't want to capture this person, but this person would be angry. He did not love her.

The speed at which news spread was the same in any country, even in the depressing state of Jiangguo.

The ministers heard about Jiang Wuyue's return almost immediately, and they split into two different factions. One of them wanted the Crown Prince to save everyone from suffering. The other wanted him to die because the country of Jiang had fallen.

On the first day of Jiang Wuyue's assembly, these two powers had been clearly divided.

"Your Majesty, this old subject feels that His Highness the Crown Prince has just returned and should immediately entrust this task with the task of revitalizing our country."

Among them, an old minister who had clearly seen the situation in the country and supported Jiang Wuyue said so.

"Your Majesty, that day, the Imperial Advisor once said that all the calamities in the Jiang Country originated from red. "His Highness' red eyes were born at the right time, this subject believes that we should prepare for the unexpected."

"What do you mean? Is it for the Emperor to execute His Highness? "

"Then what do you mean? Isn't Jiang Guo important? "

The two factions began to argue.
