C224 See if there are any water chestnuts in the lake?

Bai Qianfan's foundation could be considered not bad. After falling into a serious illness, she had recovered completely in half a month.

She was arguing about going back to the Moon Reaching Pavilion, but with her there, Morong Gan ignored everything. He was focused on her, and always had a smile on his face. She had mentioned wanting to leave several times, but he had always thought that she was sick and rejected him outright. But now that she was completely recovered and was still alive and kicking, he felt that it was a little too much to keep her in the dark. When he thought again, her month was almost up, if he didn't go back now, it would be hard to find out about the poison.

With this experience, he felt that only if she stayed by his side would she be safe. Although they all lived in the same residence, there was still a distance between the Huailin Pavilion and the bottom-up Huailin Pavilion, and sometimes Hou would be afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of her properly, and then there would be an accident.

He wanted to send a guard to protect her in the dark, but all the guards were men. It was inconvenient, and the maidservants didn't have good men … Thinking of this, he remembered something. He said to Bai Qianfan, "Yue Xiang is too weak, let me exchange you for another two."

Bai Qianfan frowned, "Why do you want to trade? The two of them are pretty good."

"What's there to be proud of? If someone was following you, would you faint at the back of the mountain?"

"I told them not to follow. Besides, even if they wanted to follow, wouldn't it be easy for me to get rid of them? Didn't I shake off the prince before? "

Morong Gan blushed, he swept his gaze across his eyebrows and tail, then laughed: Who did you learn to throw others aside?

"No one, I got my own experience," Bai Qianfan said complacently. "If I didn't have that ability, I would still be in that bag right now."

Morong Gan's heart tightened. That's right, if she did not have that ability, she would have lost his life earlier, and would not have had the chance to let him meet his.

"Don't change, I like the two of them." "Big Sister Qi Hong told me. In order to find me, she put in a lot of effort and even got scolded by the Elder Sister Xiu. Your Highness, Yue Xiang Yue Guiyi has really treated me very well."

Morong Gan had never been able to do anything in front of her.

"Fine, as long as you like it. However, since they are weak in protecting their master, they should be punished."

"What punishment?"

"Just take the beating. For your sake, one person ten times is fine."

"Don't! As soon as I returned, you immediately gave me a board. When the time comes, are they going to serve me, or am I going to serve them?"

"Then tell me, what's the punishment?"

Bai Qianfan thought for a while, "Yue Xiang and Yue Gui don't like to eat meat, how about punishing them with meat?"

Morong Gan, "..." Are you sure this is a punishment, not a disguised reward?

"Everyone has to eat three big pieces of meat, so I'll supervise, okay?"

Morong Gan glanced at her, "The protector isn't strong, it's good enough that you didn't peel off their skin, but they still want to eat flesh, why are you still thinking of such a good thing!"

Bai Qianfan tilted her head and giggled, "I think this punishment is pretty good. In the future, if I make a mistake, you can punish me to eat meat."

Morong Gan couldn't help but pinch her face. He wanted to eat meat too, eat her meat …

In the end the punishment was left unpunished. Yue Xiang came over and picked her up, carrying a big bag with's dessert, the new clothes that Lv He had made for her, and the little gadgets that Morong Gan had bought for her all this time.

Every time he turned his head back, Morong Gan would always be standing at his original spot, and would look at her without blinking. Bai Qianfan felt that he had seen wrongly, and the prince's eyes seemed to carry a tinge of sadness, it was not as if he was going to die or separate from his family, and she was also not going to leave his pavilion. He was living in the same house, you could see it if you wanted to, what's there to be sad about it?

When they reached the corner, she turned her head back and saw that Morong Gan was still standing there without moving. She strongly shook her hand: "My prince, I …"

With the last two words still in his mouth, Morong Gan suddenly walked over with large steps. She was stunned and looked at him with blinking eyes.

When he got closer, he asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, I'm leaving."

He said, "Oh, let's go then. Why are you shouting so much?" After saying that, he started to walk towards the second door.

Bai Qianfan chased after him, "Where is the Prince going?"

He clasped his hands behind his back and slowed down his pace. "This King has nothing better to do. I'll send you on your way."

"No need to send me off," Bai Qianfan said as she pointed with her finger. "The Moon Reaching Pavilion is right there.

Morong Gan said, "I am going to take a look at the Bright Lake to see if there are any water caltrops in the lake."

"It's already this season, are there still water caltrops?"

"Don't you know that there's Qiu Ling Jiao?"

Bai Qianfan shook her head, "I've never eaten before." She waved her hand towards Yue Xiang, "You guys go back first, I'll follow the prince to Bright Lake to take a look at the water caltrops."

Morong Gan was secretly happy, but he said: "You don't need to go, it's just right that you're sick.

Bai Qianfan sighed, "I'm very sturdy, after being under the rain for an entire night it's just a bad cold, a little wind is nothing."

The two of them chatted as they walked past the Fallen Star Pavilion. Looking at the Pro-guard guarding the courtyard gate, Bai Qianfan suddenly thought of Xiu Yuanshuang, who had actually killed Little Yellow and lured her to the bottom of the back mountain, whether or not she was Xiu Yuanshuang, who was not sure, would admit guilt if she had cried all day long, until her eyes were swollen like walnuts. Earlier, she had been befuddled and did not pay attention to it.

"Your Highness," she said as she raised her head to look at Morong Gan, "actually …"

Morong Gan interrupted her, "I can understand why you are begging for mercy on behalf of Yue Xiang, but if you are begging for mercy on behalf of her, it would be best for you not to say anything. How can you pity a woman who wants to see you die, compared to someone like the Madame Bai? "

"I'm all right now. Furthermore, Little Yellow is just a chicken. If a chicken dies, it can't take a human's life to pay for it. "

"If I come back a day later, you will be the one to die." Morong Gan was still afraid when he thought about it, how could he let Xiu Yuanshuang go? However, he was not someone who treated human life as grass, without sufficient evidence, he would not do anything to Xiu Yuanshuang.

Seeing Morong Gan's gloomy face, Bai Qianfan did not know what to say. Morong Gan was used to walking with big strides, so her walking was not slow either. The two of them did not speak, but walked faster than anyone else, and very quickly, they arrived beside the Bright Lake.

Most of the lotus flowers in the lake had dried up and were lying on the surface of the water. However, there were still a few branches standing upright and trembling in the wind.

The sky gradually darkened and the lake surface became a blur. Bai Qianfan imitated Morong Gan's actions: "It's already dark, so I can't see anything. I'll come back again during the day. "Your Highness, I'm leaving."

When she didn't hear a response, she secretly lifted her eyes. In the darkness of the night, the man's expression was gloomy and unreadable. Only his pair of deep and dark eyes stared directly at the lake's surface.

The wind started to pick up, whizzing over, the leaves on the shore rustled, Bai Qianfan shrunk her neck, and turned to leave, but her arm was suddenly pulled back into her embrace.
