"You …" Ruo Ruo froze. He clearly knew that she would jump out of the car.

Right at this time, Xi Men Rui Xue bent her body and caught her sleeve that was already torn apart. "Ruo Ruo, this hide-and-seek really isn't fun. Look, your sleeve is broken. Let's go. I'll change your clothes after we get in the car." His words were hidden, and he didn't say that she had run away, but he was hinting to her that from this moment on, she wouldn't be able to escape from his side.

"You … "How do you know I'm heading this way?" She didn't believe it was only a minute before he figured out her direction.

His smile was brilliant and flamboyant, making it seem as if he couldn't wait to tear the corner of his lips apart, "Because, you aren't Qin Zhiruo at all." Ximen Ruixue stood in front of her with her arms crossed. His condescension made her feel that she was so insignificant.

He came again, but these words made her feel guilty. She bit her lips to strengthen herself, "Why did you point out my acupoints?" Just thinking about it made his heart turn cold. He had promised her that he would help her save Qin Zhiqing, but last night …

"He's completely fine, and there's no need for me to save him."

"Ah …" Ye Zichen raised his head in confusion, "You lied to me."

"Qin Zhiruo, can I ask you to use your brain? Who did you say was with Qin Zhiqing when he was in trouble? "

"Prince An." Ruo Ruo said without thinking.

"That's right. Think about it again. Will Prince An walk out of the side chamber at a fast pace?"

Ruo Ruo recalled that when Prince An's men approached the side chamber yesterday afternoon, Prince An hesitated before leaving, "Is there a problem?"

"Hehe! Think back carefully. Who do you think Prince An's eyes are like?"

"He should be like you or the emperor. After all, you're both part of the imperial family …" "Wait." Zhiruo stopped, her eyes wide open. At this moment, she finally managed to react, "Are you saying that the Prince An who just walked out of the side chamber is Qin Zhiqing?" She remembered now that Prince An's eyes were those of Qin Zhiqing, but because the situation had been chaotic at that time, she had not noticed or discovered him. Now that she was reminded by Xi Men Rui Xue, she was dumbfounded.

"Little girl, you're finally smart for once, so he's fine. Why should I go save him?"

"Since he's fine, you shouldn't have brought me away." Ruo Ruo stood up from the rock in anger. She wanted to leave him through Xi Men Rui Xue.

"Qin Zhiruo, your fall is just a signal to me that you're going to leave with me, right? So, Qin Zhiruo, from the start to the end, I have never forced you to do so. It was you who willingly left with me, so I took you away to save you. " It was as if he was doing all this for her own good.

"You liar." She suddenly realized that she had walked into his trap, but it was truly her initiative, leaving her with no way to defend herself.

He reached out and grabbed her sleeve that was about to pass by him, and with a "Hiss" sound, the sleeve that was already split in two was torn apart. He wanted to run away, but his snow-white lotus arm was pulled by Xi Men Rui Xue and his body was brought into his embrace. He embraced her tightly, and then bent his head down to her ear and said: "Since you've chosen to leave with me, then don't think about running away from me for the rest of your life."

The powerful and domineering Xi Men Rui Xue was annoying to her, but, being embraced by him, she immediately became weak and powerless. She hugged him horizontally, and in the blink of an eye, she was in his arms again. She strode towards the road, and as her figure leaped, Xi Men Rui Xue carried her and flew into the carriage, "Let's go. We're going back to the capital by tomorrow noon." He coldly ordered for the crown prince to show his might again.

She tilted her head, and without even looking at him, she pulled a corner of the curtain with her hand and kept looking out from the crack between the curtain. Looking at the trees and grass, the flowers and birds in the mountain, everything was so beautiful, but her heart was a mess.

He had disguised himself as Prince An, so what about Prince An? Is he dead?

If he died, what would Qing Qing do in the future? You can't pretend to be Prince An all the time, can you?

Ruo Ruo thought of all sorts of possibilities and realized that the person she cared about the most ever since she left Anyang Mountain was actually Qin Zhiqing.

The hearts of people were just like this. One second she didn't trust him, but now after she had left, she felt that every single word that Qin Qingqing had said before was possible.

The carriage was silent. Neither of them spoke. Their bodies were free, and she could move, but she could not escape.

It was a nuisance to have a tiger lying beside her.

It was getting dark and the carriage was still on its way. It was strange that Qin Zhiqing's men hadn't caught up to them.

"Here …" She was still looking out the window at the vague scenery outside. Even if she didn't know it, it was better than facing Xi Men Rui Xue. No matter what he said, she would not care.

"Here …" He growled, wishing he could eat her.

She didn't look at him. She didn't even say anything. He clearly knew that Qin Zhiqing was fine, yet he still tricked her out.

However, her small hand was caught and a steamed bun was placed in her palm. "If you don't eat it, you won't even have the strength to run."

His words caused her to burst out into laughter. She turned her head and asked, "What? You want me to run away?"

"If you like it, then flee." In any case, there would only be one outcome, and that was that she would escape, and he would be able to catch her and bring her back.

"Ximen Ruixue, if you have a saber, I'll kill you with a single slash." She took a bite of the steamed bun, as if what she was biting was not the steamed bun but Ximen Ruixue's flesh.

"I'll be ready any time." He smiled, his gaze never leaving her face. "Ruo Ruo, I'm curious, who are you?"

"Don't say it." She didn't say anything to keep him in suspense. Who told him to keep bullying her?

"Then forget it, who do you love? When we arrive at the capital, I will still send you to the Fragrant Pavilion."

"Hey, did you chase me back all the way for this?" Wasn't he too idle? She raised her eyebrows and looked at him. She couldn't understand why he would wholeheartedly sell her out.

"Yes, tomorrow night, you will once again ascend the stage of the Fragrant Pavilion. This time, Qin Zhiruo, you won't be able to escape." Xi Men Rui Xue had casually said it as if it was all a matter of course. However, her heart seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the sea, looking extremely salty.

Everything was tasteless, so bitter that it made her heart ache. However, she was not a match for Xi Men Rui Xue, so she withdrew her gaze from the window. Now, all of her gaze was focused on him, staring at him without blinking.

She didn't know how long she had been looking at him, but her eyes were beginning to ache.

"Qin Zhiruo, am I that good-looking?"

"Shameless, not nice at all. It's not much better than a beggar." She hated him now.

"Then do you want to say that the beggar is also better than me?"

"Yes." She grudgingly answered him, clenching her fists tightly.

"Alright, then I'll grant you your wish." His casual reply made Ruo Ruo extremely confused. She didn't understand what he meant, but she didn't expect that his words would really fulfill her choice after the other night.

Looking at each other, Ruo Ruo hoped that she would never reach the end of the road.

However, she still welcomed the capital city's prosperity. After entering the city gates, the carriage headed straight for the Fragrant Pavilion.

She bit her lips and twisted the corners of her clothes with her fingers. She really hoped that Qin Zhiqing would reappear at this time. She really didn't want to return to the Fragrant Pavilion. That would be too embarrassing for her.

Yet, someone still forcefully sent her back to the Fragrant Pavilion without giving her any leeway.

As the carriage stopped, the moment the curtain was opened, Cui Er's voice was heard, "Miss, you're back."

Eh, was she really looking forward to her return?

She did not like the feeling of a lamb entering a tiger's den.

However, the last thing she wanted to see was the man who had escorted her back to the Fragrant Pavilion: Xi Men Rui Xue.

Without even looking at him, Ruo Ruo passed her hand over to Cui Er. She gently jumped down from the car and said indifferently, "Let's go."

"Yes, my lady." Cui Er could already hear the unwillingness in her tone and didn't dare to say anything else. She supported her into the Fragrant Pavilion.

Everything was the same as when she left, not a single blade of grass or tree had changed.

At this time, it was already past noon. Some of the girls in the Fragrant Pavilion were still sleeping when they woke up, while others were lying on the fence, lazily watching the scene.

"Aiyo, look, that Qin Ruo who ran away has returned. Look at her appearance, let's see if she dares to show off again."

If he didn't listen to anything, then he would just listen to what others have to say.

She leisurely walked back to her own small courtyard. Others wanted to see her sad heart, but she insisted on smiling.

Sooner or later, she would have to run away.

Thinking of this, she could not help but smile wryly in her heart. Since her passing, escaping had already become the main theme of her life. No matter what, she could not let go of her fate.

Inside the house, everything was neat and tidy, as if they had been waiting for her to come back for a long time.

It was as if he had already predicted that she would return.

Tonight, the Fragrant Pavilion would once again be bustling with noise and excitement.

However, it was not because of her brilliance, but rather, it was because of her awkwardness.

Everything was so familiar, and everything was so strange.

Xi Men Ruoxue did not follow him in, but she had already killed him a thousand times in her heart.

She didn't even have the right to die now.

When he stepped into the bath barrel again, he smelled the fragrance of the flowers and gently closed his eyes.

At this moment, her heart was in chaos. It seemed that she was wrong again, but she would never be able to return to An Yang Mountain.
