Are you a human being?

Not long after, Xiao Ting looked around after she was done eating, and the black clothed female gave him a puzzled look.

Xiao Ting levelled the ground a little, laid down on the ground, and slept while wearing her clothes.

The moon gradually moved to the west as the girl in black watched her back gradually fall asleep. She quietly walked over, and only when she got closer did she discover that she was soundly asleep without the slightest reaction.

The black clad woman was thinking, this Ninth Princess was truly different from the others. The hero she arranged to save the girl did not obtain her trust, so when would he have a chance to approach her in the future?

Forget it, it was better to let her keep her life first.

This was the back mountain of Han Mountain Temple. Normally, no one would come here, as there were many wild beasts.

The girl in black sat not far away, quietly listening to the commotion around her while thinking about her mission.

At this time, the Ninth Prince's Estate was brightly lit, the Empress had long returned to the palace, and the Ninth Prince was seated at the head of the table. Yuchi Xinghan recounted the events that had transpired, while Steward Mu stood by the side and asked, "Does Your Highness wish to send someone to find the imperial concubine?"

Ninth Prince thought for a moment and waved his hand, saying: "No need, you guys go rest!"

Xiao Xin's face had a bit of tears on it as he knelt on the ground. He solemnly kowtowed to the Ninth Prince and said, "My prince, Xiao Xin begs you to save my sister, since my sister has been captured by bad people. Besides you, no one else can save her."

Chu Yun also ran over and shook his arm, "Royal father, no matter what, she is still your wangfei. Aren't you sad that she was grabbed by another man just like that? Even if it's for your sake, you should bring her back and then rest. "

Seemingly afraid that he would be misunderstood by others and be concerned about Xiao Ting, Chu Yun added this last sentence.

Yuchi Snow stood there, her heart cold. She wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to. She could only hold it in.

"Uncle Mu, take the two of them to rest." After saying that, the Ninth Prince got up and left. Without any explanation, Xiao Xin looked at his back with tears in his eyes, and was a little displeased: "No matter what, big sister is still your wangfei."

"She even saved your life before. Didn't you think about how terrible your health was in the past? It was all because of big sister's efforts to save you. How can you treat her like this with such a conscience?"

"Small Ten, don't speak nonsense. Royal Father is not such a person."

Chu Yun did not expect that the Xiao Xin who was normally kind and understanding in front of her, would actually say such sharp words, and these words were even directed at her royal father. It must be known that normally, Xiao Xin would not dare to speak much with her father, because he was a little afraid of her.

They were also afraid that their royal father would punish him, so they hurriedly went forward to stop Xiao Xin.

"He isn't such a person, but he would do such a thing. You guys don't care about your older sister at all. You're the same as him; your status is too high for us to climb. If you don't go and find your older sister, then I'll go by myself."

After Xiao Xin finished speaking, he got up and ran. Lv You had been chasing behind him for a long time, but he could not stop him.

Ninth Prince did not have much of an emotion towards such a serious accusation. He only turned to look at Yuchi Xinghan and said, "Just follow him."

"Sigh, this young master's luck is truly bitter. I have to follow a little imp and wander aimlessly in the middle of the night." After sighing with disappointment, Yuchi Snow also followed after him.

Chu Yun carefully looked at her father's expression and retreated. However, she turned back halfway and did not return to the hall.

"young son, why did you come out as well?" Chu Yun gave a cold snort, "You are not allowed to tell my royal father. I am not at ease with Small Ten, bring natural son with you."

"You don't trust Small Ten? Or are you worried about your little matriarch? "

"Hmph, who's worried about her?" This time, young son Chu did not deny the way he addressed Xiao Ting, and coldly snorted, "Lead the way."

The main hall of Ninth Prince's Estate quieted down. Butler Mu personally poured a cup of tea for Ninth Prince and passed it over to his hands. Then, he said in a friendly tone, "Your highness, it's getting late. It's time to rest."

Ninth Prince leaned his head against the chair and asked indifferently, "Uncle Mu, did I do wrong?"

"Your Highness definitely has his own reasons for doing so, and this old servant believes that you will guarantee the safety of Princess Hua-Yang. Don't take the words of the young noble of the Xiao family to heart. He and Princess Hua-Yang's relationship has always been good."

Others might not be able to tell, but Butler Mu, who had been watching Ninth Prince grow up, understood that the current Ninth Prince was still a little worried. Thus, he could only console his and could not blame her along with the others.

"Rest assured, Princess Consort has her own destiny. She will return safely."

"Forgive this old servant for speaking too much. Since Wangfei is willing to follow Cheng Yunyi and leave this place, she must have a method to protect her own life. You don't have to worry about that."

"You should still be able to see through it, Uncle Mu."

Ninth Prince knew well that Butler Mu was extraordinary, and at this moment, only he knew of his own intentions, so he was also clear about what had happened at that time.

He already knew from Yuchi Snow that Xiao Ting had intentionally followed Cheng Yunyi and was unwilling to return to the palace. Firstly, it was to avoid the empress dowager's invitation, and secondly, it might have something to do with him.

This was his intuition, and he didn't know why.

His heart echoed the words Xiao Ting had said during dinner. Back then Chu Yun had asked him, "Do you really trust my royal father that much?" Xiao Ting said without hesitation. Of course I believe it, he is my husband, why would he lie to me?

This undisguised trust caused Ninth Prince to be moved, and he fell into deep thought, to the point where he did not investigate the matters that the son of the King of Jiangnan had raised and directly agreed to them. Now that he thought about it, his heart was in a mess.

The reason why Xiao Ting avoided him now was because he cared too much or was it because she was really the one who cared about her like the rumors outside. It was because she didn't care about her that she wanted to take this opportunity to escape.

Ninth Prince didn't know why he thought so much tonight. He would think about the first time Xiao Ting entered the Duke Palace, think about their agreement, and think about that unintentional intimate contact.

"Your Highness, what did you want to do in the past?" This old servant has never dared to say much. After all, you don't have much time left, so you can live your own life as you wish. "

Housekeeper Mu narrowed his eyes and said in a normal tone, "Watching your son grow up and you marry this wangfei and you've already recovered, you should think about the future."

"In the future?" Ninth Prince muttered to himself, but did not say anything. It was clear that he had considered these things.

"That's right, if you don't like the Miss Xiao Liu, then you should leave her and live your life anew. If you do, then you should be able to properly manage your lives. After all, there is still a long road ahead of you."

Housekeeper Mu had underestimated Ninth Prince as he grew up and knew what he was thinking clearly. He knew how conflicted he was in his heart.

However, as an outsider, he saw it even more clearly. He clearly knew one thing, that was something that even Ninth Prince himself did not understand.

That is, the prince likes his wife.

No matter how busy the outside world was, no matter how worried or conflicted other people were, it was impossible to tell.

The dreamless Xiao Ting was currently sleeping soundly. The faint morning light shone on her body, warm and comfortable.

She turned over and prepared to go back to sleep. The sunlight was a bit blinding. She slightly raised her hand. Her thoughts gradually returned to normal as she heard the sounds of intense fighting.

Faintly, she looked towards the source of the sound and saw a few figures moving back and forth not too far away. They were all lying on the ground.

"It's so early in the morning. You're crazy! Who's fighting here and is making me fall asleep?"

Xiao Ting muttered as she sat up, she rubbed her eyes and looked forward, suddenly realizing, she was familiar with her.

One of the black-clothed women was the one who had saved her life last night. Later on, she wanted to chase after him but lost him. She didn't expect to meet her here.

From the looks of the situation, she was being hunted.

Xiao Ting was in a dilemma on whether to rush up and repay her for saving her life, but looking at the value of her martial arts, she felt that she couldn't beat him, so she could only lie back down and continue pretending to sleep.

The black-clothed woman had always been paying attention to Xiao Qing and stayed guard over her for an entire night. She naturally knew that she had woken up but she didn't expect that Xiao Ting had once again gone back to sleep.

Only then did Xiao Ting slowly open her eyes and looked forward.

The black-clothed woman who was being chased was kneeling on the ground, using her sword to support her body, while the rest of the people had disappeared without a trace.

Was he running away?

Xiao Ting was sneaky as she moved forward until she was in front of the woman, then she looked at her in surprise, "Hey, why are you here, and why are you being chased?"

The woman in black ignored her, and she didn't even look at her. She coldly snorted and said, "What does it have to do with you? Scram."

Xiao Ting played around with no meaning, but thinking that someone else had saved her life yesterday, she turned around and squatted down, and saw that there were about a few sword wounds on the woman in black's body.

She leaned over suddenly and pulled one of the woman in black's arms over her shoulders. She then dragged her forward and asked, "Do you know where we are closest to here? I'll take you to the doctor. "

"I don't need your help. Let me go." Although the girl in black didn't have much strength, her voice was still cold and didn't accept her help.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ting was still hesitating just now, but at this moment, she firmly believed that she had to return this life saving favor. Otherwise, she would keep thinking about this person in the future.

"It's too late. I just wanted to save you."

Two hours later, the fireballs in the sky became hotter and hotter. Xiao Ting's throat was almost fuming as she dragged the black clothed female forward while feeling dizzy herself. It was at this time that she finally met the first person.

"Hey, are you human? Come and help me. "

Xiao Ting shouted to the man dressed in monk's clothes who was not far away.

Xie Jingtian was doing his daily routine of fetching water when he suddenly heard a girl's cry. He turned around and saw a young girl holding onto a unconscious person as she beckoned to him.
