Yun Zhi didn't dare to look into his charming and handsome face. She lowered her head and blushed, then hesitantly repeated the words of Xue Ruoyun, "My family's young miss wants me to use a treasured sword or a noble sword. After saying that, he lowered his head even more.

Mu Ying looked at the sword in his hand. With a grave and stern expression, he said without the slightest bit of emotion, "She is indeed unlucky!"

After saying this, Mu Ying's heart couldn't help but feel despondent. In the end, she had misunderstood his meaning. Mu Sheng's heart was suddenly set on fire. This foolish woman, but thinking of Yun Zhi at this time, his reaction would inevitably be transmitted to Xue Ruoyun. As a result, with a cold expression, he gestured for his servants to take the treasured sword and turned around to leave.

However, after he had taken two steps, he suddenly thought of something and stopped. He turned around and said to Yun Zhi who was behind him, "Send a message to me. Tell your young miss to stay away from the Emperor."

"He actually said that."

Even now, he still felt like a vain woman, that he was deliberately trying to show off in front of the Emperor? After hearing Yun Zhi's words, Xue Ruoyun felt all the blood in her body congregate in her head. She used her hand to fan the wind in the void, wanting to quell her anger. It seemed as if the blood would jump out of her head if she didn't control it.

"Yes."

"Forget it, since he doesn't understand himself, there's no need for me to explain so much to people who do understand me. If he likes to misunderstand, then let her misunderstand. "

Although Xue Ruyun said this, his mood was inexplicably irritable. She spent the next few days designing all sorts of defenses in her own courtyard, as if she wanted to use her work to get rid of her inner emotions.

Yun Zhi was very worried when she saw how she spent her days and nights without eating or eating, and how she did not communicate with anyone else. After a long rain, the weather suddenly cleared up. Xue Luoyun was leaning against the headboard again, bathing in the sunlight.

Lan Zhi walked in. It was rare for her to see Xue Ruyun idle around, so she guessed that her mood today should be pretty good. It would be better to take this opportunity to let her walk outside so she wouldn't suffocate in this room. Thinking of this, Yun Zhi walked forward, "Miss, the sky is clear today, the air is very fresh, how about I accompany you for a walk outside?"

Xue Ruyun opened and closed his eyes, glancing at Yun Zhi. It was true that she had been feeling stuffy inside the house for the past few days, but when she thought about the possibility of encountering the conquest of the king outside, she was angry and didn't want to meet him and be humiliated a few times. Thus, he stayed in the room, purposely avoiding him.

However, the weather was exceptionally good today. It had been raining for a long time … Thinking up to here, Xue Luoyun's thoughts moved. He sat up, and pushed his hair back. "Let's go to the mountains to collect mushrooms. It's sunny after the rain, and it's the time when there are many mushrooms."

"Ah?" Yun Zhi seemed to be caught off guard by Xue Ruoyun's sudden reaction. She was never able to keep up with the pace of her thoughts. The road was slippery from the rain, and the forest was covered with thorns. Birds and beasts roamed about, making it very unsafe. Yun Zhi was about to stop her. She saw that Xue Ruyun had already stood up and was starting to pack up.

Yun Zhi understood Xue Luoyun's personality. If she didn't accompany him now, she would definitely go herself. She was a principled person, and as long as it was something she was certain of, no matter how others tried to dissuade her, it would be useless. As a result, Yun Zhi had no choice but to pack up and follow Xue Ruoyun. They could look after each other along the way.

After the rain, the forest felt very refreshing. The smell of the earth mixed with the scent of the sprouts of early spring assaulted their senses. The dewdrops that had not scattered on the leaves were sparkling and translucent as they accompanied Xue Mengyun on her way down, rolling down and wetting her dress. Xue Luoyun was temporarily engrossed in the beauty of the mountains, so she did not pay attention to these things. At this moment, the two were walking in the forest, one in front and one behind, like two otherworldly fairies.

"There's one here, there's one here too." Xue Ruoyun was shuttling through the forest, picking up small mushrooms one after another in pleasant surprise, as happy as a child. When Yun Zhi saw this, she revealed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time. He finally relaxed.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over. Xue Luoyun, who was carefully plucking the grass, heard what seemed to be several intermittent wails mixed in with the wind.

"Miss, this …" Yun Zhi pointed at a clump of mushrooms and was about to say something when she saw Xue Ruyun shushing her. She whispered, "Don't move, listen …" After hearing Xue Luoyun's order, Yun Zhi hurriedly stopped moving, maintaining a finger position without moving at all. The two listened attentively. Sure enough, they heard something wailing in pain in the distance.

"Come, let's go take a look." After confirming the source of the sound, Xue Luoyun quickly walked forward. Holding the basket in his hand, Yun Zhi quickly chased after him. The two of them walked closer and closer to the source of the sound, and the wailing sounds became more distinct.

"That's right!" As they got closer to the source of the sound, they saw nothing.

"Be careful!" Xue Luoyun suddenly loudly reminded her. It was only then that Yun Zhi discovered that there was actually a large trap at her feet. Because it had been concealed extremely well, she did not discover it. Just now, it was so close. I was just a step away from falling inside.

When they arrived at the edge of the trap, they found a snow-white fox with a broken leg. The hole was deep and slippery, and it was impossible for a human to climb out, let alone a little fox. It was probably because it would be useless to climb for a long time, which was why he was whimpering like this.

"What a pitiful little thing." Xue Ruyun immediately felt pity in her heart. She tightly furrowed her brows, her face filled with pity.

"Little fox, just you wait. I'll come down and save you." As Xue Ruyun spoke, he began to look around for something.

"Miss, what are you looking for?" Yun Zhi followed behind, not knowing what Xue Mengyun was planning to do.

"Found it." Xue Ruyun excitedly said. He leapt onto a tree and tore off a vine that was coiled around it. The other end of the vine was still wrapped around the tree, while the other end was tied to Xue Ruoyun's body.

"Come, grab this." Xue Ruyun said to Yun Zhi. Then, he grabbed onto the vine and slowly crawled into the trap.

"Miss, be careful. Why don't you come up and let this servant go?" Yun Zhi said worriedly as she held onto the vine. However, right now, Xue Luoyun only wanted to save the fox, so how could he care so much?

The little fox saw him grabbing onto the vines step by step inside the trap. It was so scared that it continuously retreated, curled up into a ball, and kept on shrieking.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." Xue Luoyun softly consoled her. As he spoke, he slowly drew closer.

Thinking that animals also had intelligence, the originally shivering little fox seemed to have sensed Xue Ruoyun's kindness. It gradually relaxed, no longer making random noises. Seeing that it had let its guard down, Xue Ruyun slowly approached it and picked it up, saving the trap.
