Look at Song Lingcheng's sparkling eyes.
Lan Chengjin was sure that he was not telling lies, but then she felt very unbelievable.
"Because of Tan'er?"
"Yes, Xia Tan'er has great medical skills. Her kick just now caused me to contract tuberculosis, but it was she who cured me. You see, I am talking now. Although I am a little weak, I am much better than when I was ill. .”
Lan Chengjin nodded affirmatively.
I feel more and more proud,
"My Tan'er is just different."
But for a moment, Lan Chengjin suddenly seemed to remember something, frowned, and immediately looked at Song Lingcheng.
"You go back to the mansion to rest first. I still have things to do. I will go to the mansion to look for you tonight."
"Okay. Go ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Chengjin disappeared.
at this time.
Xia Tan'er was walking on the street.
Because I took some silver from Song Lingcheng, I was finally able to buy some hot food pads for my stomach.
She chose a wonton stand and ordered a large bowl of wontons.
Then he sat at the table, cupped his cheeks, and watched the wontons being placed in the pot without blinking.
But at this moment.
not far away.
A horse ran wildly down the street.
The man on the horse, completely ignoring the people, waved his whip and galloped wildly.
"Girl, the wontons are ready."
"Thank you."
Looking at the fragrant wontons, Xia Tan'er moved her index fingers, picked up the spoon, scooped up a piece, opened her mouth, and blew it to cool it.
Just about to enter.
The riding crop was suddenly swung down, and the explosive sound as it rubbed against the air scared Xia Tan'er's hand away.
A whole bowl of wontons fell to the floor.
It's too late to feel distressed.
Another crack of the whip.
Xia Tan'er had no time to dodge, she closed her eyes tightly and turned her head sideways, trying to bear the whip with her body.
Suddenly a strong hand hugged his waist, and then there was no more sound.
Xia Tan'er opened her eyes in confusion.
Seeing Dong Lingjiu descending from the sky, he grabbed the riding whip and held it in his hand with one hand, and tightly held Xia Tan'er's waist with the other hand, protecting her firmly in his arms.
Looking at his handsome profile, he then looked down at the big hand protecting him.
Xia Tan'er's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
At this moment, time froze, as if there were only two of them left in the world, and Xia Tan'er's eyes no longer had the brilliance of others.
The man on horseback was wondering who would dare to catch his whip.
He took a closer look and saw who was coming, and immediately panicked.
He quickly loosened the reins, turned over and dismounted, and knelt in front of Dong Lingjiu.
"I will finally meet Uncle Nine Emperors."
"Rampaging in the streets, scaring the people, and intending to assassinate Princess Jin, what kind of crime should be committed?"
Word by word, he spoke extremely slowly, but each word was sonorous and powerful. The words were stern and could not be criticized at all.
"Come here, pull him down and execute him."
With an order, several guards sprang out from the secret, and all carried the man away.
The cries for mercy were endless and resounded throughout the streets.
Dong Lingjiu turned around and saw Xia Tan'er looking lost, with a flash of worry in her eyes.
However, he still let go of his hand and kept three steps away from Xia Tan'er.
The warmth in my waist suddenly disappeared.
Xia Tan'er finally came back to her senses and looked at Dong Lingjiu, who had just saved her, with a confused expression.
A clear cough brought her back to her senses.
Xia Tan'er hurriedly bent down and saluted Dong Lingjiu.
"Thank you for saving me."
Just as he bent down, the jade pendant hanging around his neck fell out of his collar.
Dongling's nine eyes moved slightly.
But he turned his face away.
Shaoqing on the side hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of Xia Tan'er.
"Princess Jin, this is the Nine Emperors Uncle. According to etiquette, you should also call me Emperor Uncle."
"Uncle Emperor?"
Xia Tan'er turned her head, bypassed Shaoqing, and looked at Dong Lingjiu, whose face was indifferent.
The original owner had very little impression of the emperor's uncle. He only knew that he guarded the frontier, was not close to women, and was very clean-stricken. He only returned to Dongling after a long time, and was very jealous of the emperor.
Her heart is beating, and her life is important. If she is classified as one of the Nine Emperors Uncles, she is weak and may be tortured to death.
Sanity returns.
Xia Tan'er thanked her again, but this time she was a little more distant than before.
"Thank you, Uncle Nine Emperors, for coming to the rescue."
Dong Lingjiu frowned slightly when he heard this.
After glancing at Shaoqing, he returned to the carriage not far away.
Shaoqing turned his head and looked at Xia Tan'er with a smile.
"Princess Jin, please get on the carriage."
"Huh? Get in the carriage, why?"
The personal guard is indeed a personal guard. You can tell what the master is thinking at a glance.
But Xia Tan'er really didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
"Thank you Uncle Nine Emperors for your kindness, but I was frightened just now. Although my skin was not hurt, my body was still stained with a lot of dust. If I accept Uncle Nine Emperors' kindness, it will definitely stain the carriage. If it disturbs anyone, Uncle Nine Emperors’ mood, isn’t that my fault?”
"The princess is overly worried. The prince has his own motives for asking the princess to get on the carriage. How can he blame the princess for such a trivial matter?"
"this……"
Just when Xia Tan'er was hesitant.
Shaoqing came closer and listened to Xia Tan'er.
"What happened today, I'm afraid someone did it deliberately and wanted to kill the princess. The princess is really not curious about who the person behind the scenes is. Furthermore, the princess must have sneaked out of Prince Jin's palace in this way. If she was killed by Prince Jin Your Highness knows that it may be difficult for the princess to explain what happened today."
Threat, naked threat.
Xia Tan'er was furious.
But who told her to be powerless and at the mercy of others?
Xia Tan'er took a breath of resignation.
Suppress the helplessness in my heart.
Dejected, he walked step by step towards the carriage parked far away.
This time, I was a little surprised.
From such a long distance, the Nine Emperors Uncle was able to reach her side in an instant and block the whip.
This skill is simply awesome!
Xia Tan'er got on the carriage with some curiosity.
But then he lifted the curtain.
I felt the cold atmosphere in the carriage from all directions.
Dong Lingjiu was sitting in the middle of the carriage, as if nothing had happened, concentrating on the book in his hand.
On the low table in front of you is a teapot with two empty cups.
Xia Tan'er was afraid that she would disturb Dong Lingjiu, so she found a farthest corner, huddled up silently, and sat down, with her eyes lowered, not daring to look directly.
After a long time.
There was a sound in the silent carriage.
"come over."
"Huh? Is he calling me?"
Xia Tan'er raised her head in confusion.
But she saw Dong Lingjiu still staring at the scroll, without even looking at her.
Xia Tan'er was struggling in her heart as to whether she should pass the tense or not.
Dong Lingjiu spoke again.
"Pour the tea."
…
Just being in the same room together, and asking his niece-in-law to serve him tea, this uncle takes it seriously, is he going a bit too far?
That being said.
However, for the sake of saving her life, Xia Taner moved over obediently.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xia Tan'er approaching. A dazzling light quickly flashed across Dong Lingjiu's dark eyes, and then he regained his composure.
at this time.
The wheels hit the ground and the carriage moved slowly.
Xia Tan'er lost her balance and almost fell.
She hurriedly stabilized her body and subconsciously protected her lower abdomen with her other hand.
This move happened to be noticed by Dong Lingjiu.
But he didn't care, he just glanced at her to make sure Xia Tan'er was fine, and then withdrew his eyes.
