Chapter 29 The Eighth Princess Visits

Ran'er was half kneeling under a tree, with tears in her bright eyes, her right hand in her mouth, and her left hand on her heart. An apple was rolling down on the grass not far away.

Xia He just opened the door and was about to come out of the study, when he saw Ran'er's lovely and pitiful scene, he couldn't help being startled.

"Ran'er?" He quickly strode over to help Ran'er up, "Why are you here alone? Yun Yun? Why are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Ran Er shook her head and stopped Xia He from asking a series of questions.

"It's okay." Ran'er took out the finger in his mouth and said, "It's just that the finger is broken!"

"Ran'er...why did you bite your own finger!" Xia Yun shouted in astonishment when he saw Ran'er take out the broken finger from his mouth as soon as he entered the backyard.

Immediately afterwards, he looked around vigilantly and found nothing unusual, so he was puzzled and said, "Why are you biting your fingers if you have nothing to do?"

Huh?It didn't seem right, Xia Yun discovered that Ran'er's broken finger was the index finger, and the blood on the fingertip should be from biting the middle finger.

Looking at Xia Yun's vigilant expression, Ran'er already understood what Xia Yun was thinking, and said helplessly: "You think too much, I just saw a little squirrel is very cute, I couldn't help but touch it, it's so cute Be good and let me touch..."

"So you were going to feed it an apple, and then the squirrel bit your hand!" Xia He followed Ran'er's words.

While talking, Xia He grabbed Ran Er's injured hand, took out a small purple round box from his bosom, dug out some green ointment from it, and gently applied it on Ran Er's bitten finger.

The wound was quite deep, no wonder Ran'er was in so much pain that tears were about to come out, Xia He's heart couldn't help but ache, alas...

Ran'er lowered her head in embarrassment, her long eyelashes covered her eyes, and said unfairly: "Let me touch it but not let me feed it, I really don't know what this squirrel thinks!"

I am a majestic angel, even the wolf king can submit to me, but this cute little furry bit me, really let the angel's face be put.

After applying the medicine carefully, Xia He put down Ran'er's hand, and comforted him, "Squirrels have sharp teeth. Maybe they accidentally bit you while eating. Be careful when you want to feed her in the future." He didn't believe Ran'er. After my son was bitten once, she would not feed it again when she saw a squirrel, and stopping it would have no effect, so I had to tell her to be more careful.

"I know!" Ran'er nodded and replied, and was surprised to find that as soon as the ointment was applied, there was a burst of coolness on the wound, and the pain disappeared immediately, so she exclaimed: "This medicine must be given to you by Uncle Zhang, right?" , When I was bitten by a snake before, Uncle Zhang also gave me medicine and it immediately relieved, it feels the same as this medicine, it is refreshing and comfortable!"

Hearing Ran'er mentioning being bitten by a snake, Xia Yun interrupted and said, "Squirrel bites are only a little painful. Being bitten by poisonous snakes will kill you. Fortunately, snake venom doesn't work on you, or any medicine won't work!"

When Xia Yun said this, Xia He couldn't help feeling scared for a while. Fortunately, luckily...

Ran'er couldn't help being taken aback, and could only laugh at herself: "Fortunately, Uncle Zhang explained that, except for some people who have taken some strange medicines, there are also some very few people who are born unaffected by certain medicines or poisons. No, I’m going to think I’m a monster, but I’m not poisoned by such a powerful poisonous snake in your mouth, except for the pain.”

Xia Yun said urgently: "Fortunately, you are fine, why not..." As he spoke, his eyes began to turn red. Although he was the eldest lady of the Xia family, since he was a child, only sister Youyou from the Yuwen family could say anything. , but she has been married for three years, and she has seen her less often, and she feels a little strange.

Ever since meeting Ran'er, Xia Yun has already had a different feeling for Ran'er, so nothing can happen to Ran'er.

"Okay!" Ran'er comforted with a smile, "I'm not here well."

"I want to ask you, you went there just now, why is Ran'er the only one in the courtyard!" Xia He asked.

I have too many things to do in the past two days, and the so-called search for Uncle Zhang's body has made Xia's family a mess. Discuss, and secondly, I miss Ran Er very much.

Ben was going to visit Ran'er in Lei's Mansion after talking with Uncle Zhang, but as soon as he stepped out of the study, he was shocked to see Ran'er's teary eyes.

"Brother..." Xia Yun yelled in disbelief: "I saw you coming, so I rushed to the Lei Mansion to pick up Ran'er, but I have three urgencies, so I'll let Ran'er wait for you in the yard first. Heck!"

"That's it!" Xia He smiled, and his mood relaxed a little. The past two days are really too busy, and he has been tense all the time. Only when he sees Ran'er will he feel relaxed.

He was about to help Ran'er to the stone bench next to him to let Ran'er sit down, to understand Ran'er's injury, and to say a few words, but he saw Chen Sheng who was supposed to be in Xia's house hurried in.

"Young master!" Chen Shengjing said: "The eighth princess came to visit suddenly, the second master is almost overwhelmed, so I sent you to find you back."

"Why is she here at this time?" Xia Yun asked puzzled.

"Eighth Princess?" Ran'er also wondered, looking at Chen Sheng's flustered look, this person is very important?

Xia He ignored the confusion of the two, and asked Chen Sheng: "Did someone follow you here!" This place must not be discovered by anyone.

Chen Sheng said affirmatively: "Don't worry, young master, this subordinate will be very careful along the way, and no one will follow."

"That's good, you go and lead my horse outside the gate and wait for me, I'll come right away!" Xia He ordered.

Alas, the eighth princess!I didn't think of her after I came back, and suddenly found that she was also a headache.

Xia He didn't want to explain anything about the Eighth Princess to Ran'er, he said softly to Ran'er: "Ran'er, I have to go back immediately when the incident happened suddenly, you take care of yourself, I will come to see you when you have time."

Xia Yun walked up to Ran'er, took Ran'er's arm, and said to Xia He with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of Ran'er!" After thinking about it, he suddenly added, "Then Mr. Lei heals Ran'er on a regular basis every day, he is very good to Ran'er!"

Xia He couldn't help frowning, and glared at Xia Yun for a moment, before warning in a deep voice, "Take good care of Ran'er for me!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Who is the eighth princess?" Ran'er asked suspiciously after watching Xia He leave, seeing how nervous they all looked, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"The eighth princess, the emperor's most beloved daughter!" Xia Yun replied, she dared not tell Ran'er that her brother had a marriage contract with the eighth princess.

But maybe we can reveal a little bit of news, Xia Yun thought badly, just like he told his brother on purpose just now, Mr. Lei is good to Ran'er.

So Xia Yun went on to say: "The eighth princess has admired my brother for a long time, probably because she heard that my brother came back from a business, so she came out of the palace to see her."

"That's it!" Ran'er smiled clearly: "Xiahe can get the love of the eighth princess, that's really good, he should cherish it!"

Xia Yun looked at Ran'er in surprise, Ran'er's reaction was different from what he imagined.

"Why?" Xia Yun asked in a daze.

"Why?" Ran'er was also surprised by Xia Yun's reaction, "Isn't it good that the emperor's most beloved daughter likes Xia He?" Ran'er asked puzzled.

"No! Ran'er, there are girls who like my brother, don't you feel uncomfortable at all?" Xia Yun asked bluntly.

"Why is it uncomfortable, there is such a girl who likes your brother, we should be happy for him!" Ran'er couldn't understand why Xia Yun would ask such a question?
Ran'er thought about it and asked: "Could it be...you don't like the eighth princess?"

……

Xia Yun looked at Ran'er speechlessly, it seemed that Ran'er didn't like her brother!

I secretly sighed for Xia He in my heart, brother!It seems that your emotional journey is not going well...

……

Before Xia He entered the hall, he saw a purple figure rushing towards him, Xia He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Xia He pays homage to the Eighth Princess!"

Seeing Xiahe, the eighth princess hurriedly stopped, forgetting to let go of the hand holding the hem of the skirt.

Her pair of black and white almond eyes stared at Xia He closely, her pretty face exudes a savage air, she looks very delicate in brocade clothes, and any jewelry she wears is priceless, but It doesn't look vulgar, but makes her look more noble.

Seeing that the eighth princess was staring blankly at him without speaking, Xia He could only speak: "I don't know that the eighth princess is visiting..."

Before the words were finished, the eighth princess muttered: "Xiahe, you have been back for several days, and you haven't come to see me." Her tone was full of grievances, "It's been more than a year since you left, and it's hard to look forward to it. I heard about your return, but you didn't come to see me."

"Princess, please forgive me!" Xia He explained in a low voice: "Because of an accident on the way back, Xia He really has no time to take care of other things these days."

"Is it because of Uncle Zhang? I just heard about it. I am very sorry and sad, so I asked my father to come and visit you!" Princess Eight said, although using Uncle Zhang's excuse is not Great, but she really misses Xia He.

"Thank you princess for your mercy!" Xia He cupped his hands again.

"Xiahe, don't always play the same game with me!" Eighth Princess shouted displeasedly.

"Princess!" Xia He said helplessly.

"Actually, you know that I just want you to talk with me. You don't even know how much I've missed you this year. It's good for you. I asked you to get married and then left. I didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to you." None." The Eighth Princess reproached, her face full of grievances.

Xia He looked at the eighth princess in front of him, although she was a princess, she was also a poor woman who was tired by herself and suffered from lovesickness.

Sighing lightly, he said with pity: "It's Xia He's fault, for making the princess feel wronged!"

At this moment, Xia Minjie walked up to the two of them from the hall, and said, "Xia He, hurry up and invite the princess in, let's talk if you have anything to say!"

"No!" The Eighth Princess flatly refused, "I just want Xia He to accompany me alone!"

"This..." Xia Minjie was embarrassed for a while.

"Uncle, go get busy first, I'll accompany Eighth Princess to the Yingyue Pond!" Xia He suggested.

"Okay! Okay! Let's go now!" Before Xia Jiejie could speak, the eighth princess laughed happily, revealing two charming dimples.

Seeing this, Xia Qianjie could only pat Xia He on the shoulder and said: "Go, the lotus has not finished thanking yet, and the scenery is not bad. Walk with the princess, and you can relax, don't suppress yourself too much!"

……

This Yingyue Pond is a lotus pond in the Xia family mansion, it is late summer and early autumn, the lotus has already passed the blooming period, but the scenery is quite pleasant.

But what scenery is there in the eyes of the eighth princess, she only has Xiahe in her eyes.

"I heard that the hundred-year-old sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on Qiantao Mountain have already bloomed. The scenery is spectacular and the fragrance is overwhelming!" The eighth princess seemed to think of it by accident and said.

"Princess wants to go?" Xia He didn't understand the thoughts of the eighth princess. If it were his own thoughts before, after the merchant came back, he would definitely spare no effort to please the princess.

It can be said that people are not as good as heaven, but the appearance of Ran'er made Xia He feel a little more reluctant.Just as the eighth princess just mentioned the century-old sweet-scented osmanthus on Qiantao Mountain, what she wanted was to take Ran'er to appreciate it.

"Could you take me to play tomorrow?" The eighth princess asked tentatively, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Want to go tomorrow?" Xia He asked.

"Yes, I've always wanted to go, just wait for you to come back and take me there, okay, take me there tomorrow!" The eighth princess begged Xiahe coquettishly.

Xia He watched the eighth princess pondering for a while, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to brush away the hair sticking to the eighth princess's head, and said in a flat tone: "Then do as you wish!"

……

"What? They're going to Qiantao Mountain tomorrow!" The black-robed man said in disbelief. At this moment, he was still in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

"This should be the request of the eighth princess." A man in black explained.

"Okay, I understand, you go down, and continue to monitor every move in the Xia family mansion."

"Yes!"

In the secret room, the firelight around the wall illuminated the whole room as if it were in the middle of the sun.

After seeing people go out, Yao Ji slowly walked into the secret room, and her beautiful but evil face was immediately illuminated with nowhere to hide.

Yao Ji didn't like the feeling of being too bright, so she walked straight to the oil lamp by the wall, picked up the burning flame of the oil lamp with her fingertips, put it under her red lips and blew gently, the secret room was instantly darkened cut.

Only then did she sit next to the man in black robe.

"According to the report from the spies, Xia He is going to accompany the Eighth Princess to visit Qiantao Mountain tomorrow!"

"At this time, I still have the mind to visit Qiantao Mountain!"

"It should be the request of the eighth princess, Xiahe has no way to refuse and cannot refuse!"

"Then what's the foster father's plan, a lesson? Or...?"

"Since the princess is going on a trip, the team must be huge. You can dress up and I will arrange for you to mix in. You can play by ear!"

"What do you mean by playing by ear?"

"He took the life of the eighth princess, and Xia He failed to protect him. His Majesty will definitely punish him."

"Besides Xia He, the princess must have guards and hidden guards. Yao Ji may not be able to do it!"

"Then take Xia He's life directly, I don't want to wait any longer."

"It's even harder to take Xia He's life!"

"I will accompany Angelo and Weiss to Qiantao Mountain. You play by ear, and I will let them assist you!"

"Yao Ji will definitely do her best!"

The man in the black robe nodded, with a hint of anger in his eyes...

Xia He, tomorrow, let me see how capable you are!
