The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 8 Punishment
The sun outside is gorgeous, the air is sweet, and even those ordinary people seem to have become a lot more lovely...

"Sister Leng, so the outside world is so big..." Looking at the bustling streets of the imperial capital, Yuexi danced happily, like a bird being released into the air, and ran into the crowd excitedly.

Ning Ningyan followed closely behind. For some reason, seeing Yuexi's contented appearance made her feel extraordinarily happy.

Yuexi looked at juggling for a while, then at the peddler's kite, and finally saw a kneader's kite. She couldn't move because she couldn't move, so she asked Ning Ningyan to give her a dough-made clown.

Ning Ningyan smiled and said: "Yuexi, have you really never left the palace?"

Yuexi blinked her eyes, and said: "Yuexi never lies, Brother Jing said it's dangerous outside, so he won't let me out."

"Then do you remember what happened before you came to the palace?" Ning Yan asked.

"Before coming to the palace?" Yuexi thought for a while, then frowned, with a very uncomfortable look, and said: "I don't even remember, sister Leng, I don't remember..."

"Okay, okay," Ning Ningyan comforted, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, let's go, there is the famous Gu Pan River in the imperial capital, I will take you to see it."

"it is good!"

Gupan River is located in the southeast of the imperial capital. Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, there are countless couples playing together on the river, so it got such an elegant name.

Today's Gupan River, although not the Qixi Festival, but there are many exquisite painting boats staying on the river.

"Sister Leng, what is that?" Yuexi asked, pointing at the painting boat.

Condensing Yan was no stranger to Yuexi's unusual appearance, she patiently explained: "It's a painting boat, do you want to go on it? If you want, I can rent one for you..."

"Sister Leng is great!" As he said, Yuexi had already picked one and jumped on it, "Sister Leng, come quickly..."

Ning Ningyan couldn't help wondering, Ruoyuexi really didn't know what the boat was, but why did she jump on the boat without any fear?
She shook her head, put aside her doubts, and boarded the boat.

The owner of the painting boat prepared an exquisite small table on the bow, with tea and refreshments and the Four Treasures of the Study on the table. In this season, most of the people who rent the painting boat are literati and elegant guests, so it is not surprising that there are the Four Treasures of the Study.

Ning Yan sat down gracefully to drink tea, while Yuexi stood by the fence, looking at the scenery on the river curiously.

"Sister Leng, listen..." At this moment, Yuexi said suddenly.

Ning Ningyan listened attentively, and a melodious and melodious flute sound came from a painting boat next to them. Looking at the reputation, the player who played the flute was standing on the railing, with a dark blue brocade robe fluttering, and that face, even more so. Ning Ningyan was startled, this person is actually Shen Haoyue?
How could he be here?

Ning Ningyan wanted to pull Yuexi into the cabin, but it was already too late, Shen Haoyue's expression clearly showed that he had spotted them, his brows and eyes were smiling, showing a bit of provocation.

Suddenly, the painting boat shook violently, Ning Ningyan's heart tightened, and she protected Yuexi behind her.

Sure enough, in the next second, two men in black descended from the sky. They touched the ground with their toes, but there was no sound, which shows the ingenuity of lightness kung fu.

The man in black has sharp eyes, and he comes with a sword raised, and his moves are fatal.

"Ah..." Yuexi let out a terrible exclamation, but the man in black didn't target Yuexi, every move was directed at Ning Yan.

Ning Ningyan's heart sank, damn it, if Shen Haoyue wasn't here, she...

However, at this time, she could only retreat skillfully. Finally, she turned over, pretended to be desperate, and fell into the river.

The man in black sneered, intending to attack further.

"Sister Leng..." Yuexi began to cry, extremely helpless.

Just when the sword of the man in black was about to pierce Ning Yan's body, a black figure flew over quickly. It was none other than Shen Haoyue who had been watching for a long time.

He hugged Ning Yan, then touched the water surface, and flew to the shore.

He lowered his head and asked the woman in his arms, "Do you know martial arts?"

"No!" Ning Yan categorically vetoed it, and wanted to push him away, but he refused, and asked instead: "Really? Since you don't know martial arts, the move you gave up just now really opened my eyes."

He raised his hand, pulled off the silk from Ning Yan's neck, and said with a smile: "It's already soaked through, don't you feel uncomfortable..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the scar on her neck. The scar was light brown in color and about an inch long. It looked like a sword wound. Who actually hurt her?
"you……"

Ning Ningyan smiled and said: "General Changning is used to seeing life and death in the battlefield, why did he start making a fuss when he saw such a scar?"

She took back her silk and walked towards the boat, Yuexi was still there, she couldn't leave her behind.

However, Shen Haoyue pulled her back and said with no refusal: "Those two men in black may still be lurking nearby, let me accompany you."

She wanted to decline, but in the end she didn't.

The two walked back to the painting boat. Yuexi was squatting by the fence and crying. Seeing Ning Yan, there was a trace of fear in Yuexi's eyes. Brother Jin..."

Ning Ningyan sighed in her heart, said: "Yuexi is not afraid, I will take you back, okay?"

Unexpectedly, the frightened Yuexi took a step back and cried even harder, "Yuexi only wants brother Jin, brother Jin, where are you? Take Yuexi home..."

Shen Haoyue watched coldly with his chin propped, he really wanted to know how the cold Ning Yan would deal with the child-like Yuexi.

Ning Ningyan looked a little at a loss, facing such Nangong Yuexi, she really didn't know what to do!I just sighed in my heart, thanks to Nangong Jin who didn't see this scene, otherwise if he knew that Yuexi, whom he loves so much, cried into tears, wouldn't he kill her Ning Ningyan?
Ning Ningyan tried to hold Yuexi's hand, and said: "Yuexi, your brother Jin is not here now, as long as you go back with me, you can see him right away."

"Don't, don't..." Yuexi still backed away.

Ning Yan looked at Shen Haoyue helplessly, her eyes clearly said: Why don't you hurry up and help?
The corners of Shen Haoyue's mouth raised, revealing a smile of success, he waved his hand, and immediately a beautifully carved carriage drove over, and then he shoved Nangong Yuexi into the carriage without mercy.

He jumped into the carriage, looked at Ning Yan, and said, "Why, don't you come up?"

Ning Ningyan is a little speechless, this Shen Haoyue is really very courageous, he has no reason not to know Nangong Yuexi who often goes in and out of the palace, since that is the case, how dare he treat Yuexi like this?

She sighed secretly, and had no choice but to sit up.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Prince Jing'an Mansion, only to find that the whole palace was in chaos, not because Princess Ning Yan disappeared, but because of Yuexi.

"Brother Jin..." Yuexi called out aggrievedly when she saw Nangong Jin.

At this time, Nangong Jin looked angry, but he still hugged Yuexi tenderly, and carefully looked at every part of her body, for fear that she might be damaged in the slightest.

He didn't order Qi Yue to bring her into the inner courtyard until he was sure that his Yuexi was safe and sound.

At this time, only Nangong Jin, Ning Ningyan, and Chen Haoyue were left in the hall. There was an unexpected "slap", and a crisp slap was slapped on Ning Ningyan's face.

Nangong Jin said coldly: "Who allowed you to take her out?"
