Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 218 Escape
Ruan Jingxin let go of his hand, stroked her cheek with his palm, and sighed: "In just a few days, the princess has lost a lot of weight, those people of the Rong family really deserve to die."

Xie Yanniang stretched out her hand to caress the back of his hand, and said with a slight smile: "I can still reunite with the Prince Regent safely. I have to say that luck is really good, and it is also...fate."

"It's really fate. I didn't expect the princess to end up in this place." Ruan Jingxin looked around the dilapidated hut with a nostalgic look, and said softly.

"My lord is very familiar with this place, have you lived here before?" Xie Yanniang was curious, but followed his gaze to look around the hut, but there was also an indescribable strange feeling.

She saw a wooden basin in the corner, covered with moss, the original color could hardly be seen, and suddenly said: "That bathtub is still there, but I don't know if it can still be used."

Surprise flashed in Ruan Jingxin's eyes, and he turned around and asked, "How does the princess know it's a bathtub?"

It's only as big as a washbasin, how can you think it's a bathtub?
Xie Yanniang shook her head, she didn't know why she blurted it out, and changed her words: "Maybe it's the washbasin, I guessed wrong?"

"No, the princess guessed right, it's a bathtub, the first little thing I made with my own hands." Ruan Jingxin stared at her, and asked again: "The princess has never been here before, but she likes to eat the pears that can only be found here. It is easy to find this hut and guess the bathtub, why is that?"

"I had a lot of dreams, and there was a man in the dream." Xie Yanniang met his eyes, although it was unbelievable, but she couldn't help but say it.

There seemed to be a voice in my heart saying, tell Ruan Jingxin, tell him everything...

Xie Yanniang has been in a coma since she was injured when she was a child, but she kept having the same dream.In the dream, she turned into an animal and lived with a man.

Maybe it was a few years, maybe a few months, she didn't know, but she only had this simple hut and the last face she saw in her memory.

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark and the night was falling that Xie Yanniang had almost finished speaking, her mouth was already dry.

Ruan Jingxin listened silently, neither expressing his opinion nor interrupting her.

Xie Yanniang couldn't help being a little nervous, but suddenly heard Ruan Jingxin say: "Six years ago, I fell down the valley and thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that I was saved by a lynx. on my wound."

Before mentioning it, his voice gradually lowered.

As the sun set, the outside of the house became completely dark and the moon was shining, but Xie Yanniang could clearly see the softness in his eyes: "I named this lynx Li'er, because I like this kind of wild fruit, so I also called this fruit "" Li Guo."

"I lived here with it for three months, and I took it out of here when I recovered from my injury. But before leaving, it brought back a wounded white wolf, which is Bi'er."

The gentle voice was right next to her ears, Xie Yanniang could hear Ruan Jingxin's liking and nostalgia for that lynx, like an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

"I shouldn't have taken it out of here. It's scarier than a dense forest full of wild beasts by my side." Ruan Jingxin shook his head and sighed: "Li'er died in the end. He died because of me, and I will never die again." Been back here."

Xie Yanniang looked at him, and had a little guess in her heart.

Sure enough, Ruan Jingxin lowered his head, looked at her and said, "I just thought it was absurd. Did Li'er die and enter reincarnation and become a human? Now it seems that it is not that it has become a human, but that it was originally a human." , no wonder it is so spiritual."

Xie Yanniang avoided his sight, but Ruan Jingxin continued: "But now I have to believe that Li'er is back, and has returned to my side with the memories of the past. It is you, my princess."

He once doubted Xie Yanniang's intentions, she tried so hard to get close to him, what exactly was she trying to do.

But getting along with each other day by day, Ruan Jingxin felt an indescribable familiarity with her, and gradually let go of her guard.

After getting along day and night, I found that she and Li'er had many similarities.

Obviously Xie Yanniang has never been to the border town, but she likes to eat the unique wild fruit here, and is allergic to the leaves of this wild fruit.

It was the same with Li'er back then, when he smelled the fruit leaves, he kept sneezing.

After repeated probing, finally got the answer today, Xie Yanniang told about those dreams.

Ruan Jingxin knew very well that no one would know about many things in the dream except him and Li'er.

During the three months of living in the valley, only he and Li'er knew about it so clearly.

So Xie Yanniang is that lynx, and Li'er is his princess!
Xie Yanniang listened to Ruan Jingxin's words in a daze, but she still couldn't recover.

Everything in her dream is actually real?

Did Xie Yanniang turn into a lynx and meet the seriously injured Prince Regent during those days of coma?

She couldn't believe such absurd things.

It's just that if it's not true, how can Xie Yanniang explain the dream that repeats every night, isn't it like a warning from the heavens?
She thought she was a human being in the world, but once she became a bobcat in the middle, so she lived three lifetimes?
Even the absurd thing of rebirth has happened to me, let alone suddenly changing from a human to a cat.

But the bride he married was once a lynx, didn't the regent feel awkward?
Ruan Jingxin chuckled, and Xie Yanniang unknowingly uttered the question in her heart. He shook his head and said, "Li'er is extremely intelligent. When I'm by my side, I often feel that he is a person. Whether it's a person or a cat, he is a My savior."

Xie Yanniang had a sentence hidden in her heart, and she didn't dare to ask it.

So the regent found out that she was once the lynx in order to repay his kindness, so he married him?
If not, would it be impossible to easily agree to Xie Yanniang to become the princess?

Xie Yanniang lowered her eyes, knowing that she shouldn't be so stubborn.After all, Li'er was her, and she was the lynx.

Whether the regent married her to repay his kindness, or to thank him for helping him dig gold mines and make swords, isn't it Xie Yanniang?

It's just that she couldn't help but think that maybe in Ruan Jingxin's eyes, she was still that psychic lynx, and that's why she treated him tenderly again and again.

As soon as this idea appeared, it grew wildly like weeds, and Xie Yanniang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

She drank another bowl of decoction cooked by Ruan Jingxin, the burning on her forehead subsided, and her ankle didn't hurt much anymore.

Ruan Jingxin sat on the other side of the hay and applied herbal medicine to Xie Yanniang's ankle again.

Holding the white and slender feet in the palm of his hand, a scorching heat spread from the soles of the feet, Xie Yanniang felt that the hotness of her cheeks seemed to return.

There was a sudden sound outside the house, Ruan Jingxin frowned, got up and went out for a while, the golden eyes of an owl on his shoulder were particularly terrifying in the night.

His expression was hidden in the darkness, but Xie Yanniang could feel Ruan Jingxin's gloomy mood: "What's wrong?"

"It seems that we have to rush back to Beijing overnight, and we can't let the princess continue to recuperate here." Ruan Jingxin crushed the letter in his hand, quickly wrote a few words on the white paper with carbon strips, and tied it to the owl's neck again. on the legs.

The owl fluttered away, and Ruan Jingxin slowly added: "There is a great chaos in Beijing, the fifteen princes entered the palace and kidnapped the young emperor, demanding that the young emperor pass on to him."

"Is the fifteenth prince crazy? Even if he gets the letter of succession, the other ministers may not obey him." Seeing him squatting down, Xie Yanniang quickly climbed onto Ruan Jingxin's back.

Ruan Jingxin supported her on the cushion with both hands, and there was almost no weight on her back. Xie Yanniang was still too thin: "The Fifteenth Prince was prepared, but we still underestimated him. Nearly half of the ministers in the court are on his side. Two assistant ministers died and one was injured, and the Imperial Forest Army did not dare to act casually, for fear of hurting the emperor."

Xie Yanniang frowned. In his previous life, Long Zhiyu held the gold mine in his hand, and with Shi Da, a talent for casting weapons, loyal and loyal by his side, he easily let the young emperor pass on the throne. No matter whether it was financial resources or force, almost no one could oppose it.

Now that these are all in Ruan Jingxin's hands, what confidence does Long Zhiyu have to force the palace with confidence?

"Are you going to stop him and save the emperor?" Xie Yanniang put her arms around his neck and asked in a low voice: "The Imperial Forest Army can't do anything to the Fifteenth Prince, and the Li family army is in the border town again. Your Excellency wants to sneak into the palace alone to save people." ?"

It would be too dangerous to go alone like this.

"The Fifteenth Prince hasn't received the edict to pass on the throne, so he won't hurt the emperor. Going alone will undoubtedly hit a stone with a pebble. I need to find a strong helper." Ruan Jingxin walked out of the hut with her on his back, and quickly passed through the grove. side stop.

Putting down Xie Yanniang first, he got out of a small wooden boat from a hidden cave by the pool.

Ruan Jingxin simply cleaned up, picked up Xie Yanniang and stepped onto the boat.

Xie Yanniang vaguely remembered the boat, and asked: "Is this also made by adults?"

"That's right, here is surrounded by mountains on three sides, if you want to leave, you have to go out from the pool." Ruan Jingxin even hid the boat, and used it to go down the valley to find her.

Xie Yanniang seemed to feel that she had taken a small boat before and left the valley along the pool, maybe it was the last time, but she still followed Ruan Jingxin.

After a quarter of an hour, the boat came out of the valley, Ruan Jingxin carried her down again, hid the boat, bought two horses, put Xie Yanniang in front of him, bought a cloak to wrap them tightly, and took turns pulling the reins of the other horse. Go straight to Beijing.

When we arrived at the city gate, the sky was already bright, and the two horses were foaming at the mouth, and they were so tired that they were about to lie down.

Throwing down the reins, Ruan Jingxin lied behind Xie Yanniang's back that they were a couple visiting relatives, and easily entered the city gate.

After walking far, Xie Yanniang asked strangely: "Something happened to the palace, why is the city gate still so relaxed, isn't it afraid that spies will take the opportunity to enter the city to make trouble?"

"If I hadn't left an eyeliner in the palace, I would never know about it now." Ruan Jingxin shook his head and explained softly: "The fifteenth prince did it secretly, probably because he was afraid that he would be accused by thousands of people after he won the throne. Keep it under wraps until you fail."
