On the ancient road near the capital of the Southern Marsh, the Southern Wasteland was moving with the wind, and the strong wind was blowing in their faces. The autumn sun was shining high up in the sky, and the two types of wind seemed to be floating together.

Although it was already autumn, the pine leaves and verdant leaves on the ancient path made the dust on the path rise slightly.

On the mountain path, there was a couple who were helping each other walk over. The man was thick and honest, while the woman had a large stomach. When she walked, she would feel pain in her stomach.

When Nan Yu Lan saw a couple walking by on the ancient road, she suddenly thought of how she was already in her early twenties, yet she was still alone. Thinking of her fate, she shook her head and sighed.

When the couple saw that no one was around, they thought they were greeting them. He smiled back at her.

Nan Yu Lan pushed her veil and asked with a smile: "How many months is elder sister-in-law pregnant?"

Just as the man was about to reply, he suddenly heard the woman's voice from his stomach. A pained expression was plastered all over his face. The man hurriedly supported her, anxious and panicked at the same time. He asked with concern, "What happened to you?"

The woman just shook her head.

Nan Yulan looked down: "It's about time?"

The man stomped his feet anxiously, "Crap! This place was too far away from the city. Even if they were to turn back, it would be too late. How could they miss Hou … "Really!"

"I'll help you take a look first." As he spoke, he approached the woman.

The man said gratefully, "Lady, thank you so much!"

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's see if there are any houses nearby." "Let's go."

The woman suddenly did something very strange. She used her hand to lift up her stomach, lifting up her dress. She pulled out a dagger and stabbed out with it. At the same time, the man also held out his hand, showing a big blade shining with a cold light, and swung it towards Lan Yu's flank.

These two changes were too sudden and embarrassing. There was no way for him to dodge them. However, Nan Yulan did something in this moment of life and death. She suddenly fell backwards. She fell back like a man who had stepped on the skin of a watermelon and fallen to the ground. However, her action caused the man who wielded the saber to directly slash at the woman who wielded the sword. The man's blade just happened to stab the woman's arm.

The woman's face had already lost its color. "You, how do you know?"

Nan Yu Lan shook his head: "You guys were too careless. After all, I am an assassin, so my vigilance is definitely not bad. Furthermore, we are not related in any way. As a woman who is about to be born, the husband's job is obviously to carry her back to the city and not ask for my help. "

The man opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw a person walking out from the pine forest.

This person was around twenty-three to twenty-four years old. He wore a bright yellow robe, and he looked like a prince. He was handsome, elegant, and had an extraordinary bearing.

Nan Yulan couldn't help but smile, "So it's King Xuan. It's been a long time!"

"Indeed, it has been a long time. Has Miss Nan been well?" As King Xuan spoke, he calmly walked over.

"How could it not be good for me to 'receive' someone like that when the Prince has sent someone?" As he spoke, he took a step back.

King Xuan let out a long sigh. "This duke only wants to test your skills. Please forgive me for offending."

Nan Yu Lan sneered and didn't answer.

King Xuan smiled. "I wonder how Miss Nan has thought about the suggestion I gave her last time?"

At this time, Nan Yu Lan saw five or six people walk out from the forest, all of them had high temples, all of them seemed to be martial arts experts, she immediately knew what King Xuan was planning, her face was cold as she asked: "What do you want to do?"

"I think Miss Nan is very clear about the situation outside. It doesn't matter if you chose the wrong master, the thing that matters is that Master has ill intentions towards you, and when that happens, the gains will not make up for the losses!" It doesn't matter if I made a mistake in the past, but if I make a mistake now, I'm afraid Miss Nan will suffer a crushing defeat. "

Nan Yu Lan's expression changed slightly, and he answered decisively: "Duke Xuan, I promise you that from now on, I am King Xuan's man. I will go through fire and tread through water at all costs."

"Miss Nan is truly a smart person. This King does not need you to go through fire and water, but instead wants Miss Nan to help This King accomplish great things." King Xuan smiled coolly.

Nan Yulan's lips curved into a sly smile, but it was a young girl's frown. Her eyes were deep and hard to fathom.

A few days later, the weather suddenly changed. It was not even winter yet, and a light snow began to fall. Although it was just a light snowfall, it had completely covered the ground. Prince Yu ordered his sons to gather at the manor. Because it was a family banquet, all of the princes brought their wives here, and Fang Zinan was no exception.

After that day, although Fang Zinan felt deep regret, he couldn't control himself. But everything was settled. What was the point in saying anything else? Moreover, he had always liked Shang Yiqing. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for him to control himself. However, after this kind of relationship had developed, Shang Yiqing had intentionally kept her distance, as if this was the only way to feel at ease. If she didn't come to Prince Yu's mansion, they wouldn't be walking together like this.

Fang Zinan walked in front and suddenly stopped after a few steps. He turned around to look at Shang Yiqing, "Qing Er, why are you walking so slow? Is there something wrong with it? "

It seemed that after that night, Fang Zinan started to call her that again. Although he called his with pride, it was hard for her to listen to him. Even more so, he felt embarrassed and regretful after that. She was too embarrassed to bother with him. Seeing him ask that question, he could only grunt in reply.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, a teasing look appeared in Fang Zinan's eyes. He didn't continue to ask her and turned around instead.

The two of them walked through the corridor and saw King Xuan and his wife enter the main hall. Shang Yiqing couldn't help but frown. She really didn't want to meet Princess Xuan.

All of this was reflected in Fang Zinan's eyes. He couldn't help but step forward and hold her hand. "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

Shang Yiqing rolled his eyes and withdrew her hand, saying stiffly, "I'm not afraid."

Fang Zinan raised his eyebrows, smiled lightly, and walked into the hall.

A few princes and princesses had already arrived in the hall. They were all fighting to pay their respects to Prince Yu. Seeing that the two of them had arrived late, King Ding sneered. "Prince Rong and Princess Hua-Yang really do have a deep relationship with each other. They will come late at any time."

The calm and composed Fang Zinan suddenly coughed, then his body leaned forward and fell on Shang Yiqing's shoulder.

Shang Yiqing was shocked, she dared not not not to help him, but her heart was full of questions. In this period of time, she had not seen any trace of his poison. Could it be that something had happened to his body? She wanted to ask him, but seeing so many people present, she found it inconvenient to ask. Thus, she could only look at him inquiringly.
