"Little'er, what happened to you? "Little, Little." He tried to open his eyes, but the first thing that entered his sight was Yang Liang who was dressed in green. His face was slightly haggard, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes were red, as if he had not slept for several nights.

"King Han, where am I?" I looked at him blankly as I struggled to open my mouth. After my voice sounded out, I realized that it was very weak.

"This is the residence for forgiveness. Little Sister, don't say anything. Quickly, quickly send someone over and bring the soup over!" Yang Liang ordered loudly.

A pretty girl came along with a bowl of ginseng soup. He had changed into a clean blue robe and his face was pale and haggard. He looked like he was sick. There were still some scratches on his face.

After eating a bowl of ginseng soup, I felt a little bit of strength in my body and asked,

"Am I not in the valley? "Why did you come to Duke Han's estate?"

"You were unconscious for the entire night, so I was late. By the time I got there, you were unconscious." Yang Liang's face was filled with pity and guilt.

"Oh?" I tried to remember how I was being held hostage by bandits, how I fell off a cliff with Mild, how we hid in a rabbit's den, and how long after that, I had a vague feeling that someone had found us, and that in my sleep I was leaning against a solid embrace, and I didn't know.

As I thought about it, I started to get confused again. I felt as cold as ice in my body, as if my bones were frozen into ice, but my skin felt hot, as if dozens of small stoves were heating up my body. It was unbearably hot, but not a drop of sweat came out. I was like a combination of ice and fire, cold inside and dry outside, extremely uncomfortable.

My eyelids were too heavy to lift, but my hearing was unusually sharp. I could hear people talking in the outer room. They were all voices that I was familiar with.

"Ah Zhi, go down and recuperate. You were too good at operating your martial arts last night. If you don't recuperate, your martial arts will be wasted. Sigh!" It's all my fault, you guys have suffered so much. " Yang Liang said so. My heart was moved, so to give me warmth, he did not care about his body.

"Don't say that, my lord. Protecting the princess is also his duty. He wouldn't even frown if it were his life. What does it matter?" It was A-He's voice. His voice sounded weak, but it was filled with energy.

"My good brother, it's all thanks to you this time. If it was Little Ling'Er, she would've been alright. She just got the cold." Yang Liang's mood slightly fluctuated, and then he said, "Ah Zhi, this must not be spread outside, other than you, me and the princess, don't let the fourth person know. As for the guards that went with me to find you, I have already rewarded them all, gave them aphrodisiacs, and sent them home, no one will tell anyone else."

"Ah He understands, this is related to the princess' reputation, he will never let a word of it out." As soon as he finished talking, there was the sound of stumbling footsteps. He had gone back to his room to rest. Soon after, he heard the sound of footsteps. An unfamiliar man respectfully said:

"Your Highness."

"Ah Fu, how about my royal father and mother?" In the midst of Yang Liang's calm voice, there was an extra sense of urgency.

"In reply to Your Highness, His Majesty and the Empress are unharmed. It is said that Prince Jin withdrew from the mob bravely and has done meritorious service. At this moment, he is working with the Emperor at the Venerable Life Palace to deal with matters of aftermath for the fallen ministers." Ah Fu replied respectfully. However, when he mentioned the word "Prince Jin", he felt somewhat indignant. This made me a little surprised. Yang Guang had protected His Majesty's safety, shouldn't that be a matter worthy of celebration?

When I woke up just now, the first person I saw was Yang Liang, which made me feel a little disappointed. Why didn't Yang Guang save me? Now that he thought about it, it made sense. Yang Guang was a very filial person, so naturally, he valued the Emperor Queen first. At this moment, his respect for the Emperor was even greater.

"Does the Queen Mother have any doubts about the princess?" Yang Liang asked after hesitating for a moment.

"This humble servant has already passed on His Highness's words to the empress. Since the palace's affairs are complicated and the empress is busy with them, it means that there is no suspicion." Ah Fu replied.

"The personal maid of the princess, Chen Hei, won't have any flaws, right?" Yang Liang pondered for a moment before asking again.

"This humble servant has already inquired, when the evil sect's rebel had just arrived, Palace Maiden Chen had already fainted. Even now, she is still in a trance and cannot say anything, so she should not know anything." Ah Fu replied.

"That's good. Send word out, just say that the princess was frightened on the mountain and fainted in the grass. Your personal eunuch dog tried his best to protect the lord and lost an arm. After that, I rushed over and brought the princess and dog back to the manor for treatment."

My head was buzzing and my heart was churning fiercely. My eyes had a sour mist in them as I struggled to open my mouth to express my thanks, but my body was too weak to utter a sound. Even if I could speak, what could I say? This kind of gratitude I am unable to express with words. In such a dangerous situation, they actually took my good name into consideration, fearing that there would be rumors that would be detrimental to me.

My thoughts were in a mess like this. After thinking for a while, I suddenly felt tired and fell into a deep slumber.

When I woke up again, I was sweating all over. He felt refreshed, but his body was still weak.

I slightly opened my eyes. The sky had already darkened, and a candle was burning on the table by the side of the bed. A tall figure was standing by the side, wearing a simple and elegant white robe.

"Jin, Prince Jin." I stared at him for a moment, then whispered.

"Princess, you're awake?" Yang Guang walked to the side of the bed and bent down. He stared at me with a pair of concerned eyes and said, "It really is much better now. There's some color in your face."

He stared straight at me, his eyes burning like the hot summer sun, as if he had taken in my trembling heart at once, making it impossible for my eyes to escape, making me so ashamed that for a moment my heart was pounding like a deer.

"Fifth brother, it's all thanks to you. Someone come, prepare the palanquin! " Yang Guang turned around and said.

Only then did I notice that Yang Liang was also in the room. He looked at Yang Guang as if he had something to say, but swallowed it down and said with difficulty:

"Second Imperial Brother, how can the Princess withstand running away like this? How are you going to put her? "

Yang Guang was at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Naturally, I'll first bring him to my estate. Didn't you report that the princess was frightened and couldn't return to the palace for the time being? My residence is only one street away from yours, so it's very cheap. "

Yang Liang stared at Yang Guang, with a trace of anger in his eyes, as if Yang Guang had stolen his most beloved treasure, but he could do nothing about it, and said:

"I think it's better to send them to the palace. Now that Imperial Father and Mother have calmed down, if Princess doesn't return, wouldn't that add to their worries?"

Yang Guang slightly frowned, with a strange look in his eyes, he looked at Yang Liang in displeasure, and with an overbearing tone:

"Fifth brother, what do you mean? Are you afraid that I won't treat the princess well? Remember, she is the future Princess Jin. " Yang Guang emphasized the words "Princess Jin" as his eyes closed in on Yang Liang, and a nameless jealousy started to burn in his heart.

Yang Guang was someone who had experienced countless battles before, and the ruthlessness in his eyes would have scared people stiff if it were anyone else. But Yang Liang was not afraid of Yang Guang's eyes, even though he was only 16 years old, but he also had the same height as Yang Guang. He withdrew his anger and calmly looked at Yang Guang and said:

"Is royal brother not afraid of gossip in the palace? You should know what Mother hates the most, right? "

Hearing the word 'mother', Yang Guang seemed to have lost some of his confidence. He thought for a while, but soon recovered his usual smile, and said casually:

"Fifth brother has always thought it through. The princess' good name is of utmost importance. Furthermore, my Jin Mansion is too crude, and is not suitable for the princess to recuperate. I will send her back to the palace right now. "

"Oh, it just so happens that I want to enter the palace to accompany mother. Let's go together." Yang Liang said.

I listened to the conversation between the two of them. There were a lot of grudges in their words, but since I was someone that hadn't left the pavilion yet and they were brothers and sisters, I didn't want to interrupt them. After the two of them had reached an agreement, a girl from the Residence of Duke Han entered. She bowed and said,

"This servant, Eades, will wait on Princess to wash and change her clothes."

I slightly nodded my head. At this moment, my entire body felt weak and I didn't even have the strength to sit down. I could only allow them to help me wash and dress. After sending me into the sedan chair, Huan Xing secretly stuffed something into my hand, then lowered his head and left.

After getting on the palanquin, I gently unfolded the paper in my hand. Under the dim light of the lantern, I could vaguely make out the words on the paper:

"You must have found the unconscious princess and dog in the bushes at the side of the begging platform, remember that!

Also, my son's injuries are too severe, and he cannot return to the palace. For the time being, I will stay in the mansion to recuperate.

After I looked through it, my eyes were filled with tears, but it is a pity that my understanding of him was not broad. To me, I can only take him to be my uncle, but his sincerity is far beyond my friendship.
