Xiao Rongxi smiled when he heard this and relaxed a little. He sat on the river beach and watched the shadows of the trees swaying in the distance.

Look at her too.

The eyes are soft and winding, with nothing to do with lust, only peace.

Nan Zhen glanced sideways at him, raised the corners of her mouth, and said nothing. She tightened the water bag and put it away before asking, "Why is your Majesty looking at me?"

"Just wanted to see you."

Nan Zhen raised her eyelids and leaned forward, instantly closing the distance between the two of them and almost touching his face, "Your Majesty, take a good look and don't blink."

The sudden movement made Xiao Rongxi startled, but he did not retreat at all.

Their eyes met, and no one gave way to the other.

In the end, Xiao Rongxi took the initiative and bit her lips before giving up.

Nan Zhen glanced guiltily into the woods, then he held her chin upright and said, "What are you afraid of? Fei Liu is guarding over there."

"Fei Liu can't do it either."

Xiao Rongxi gritted his teeth and pinched her face, "Then you still seduce me?"

Nan Zhen pushed him away with a smile, "I can do it, but Your Majesty can't."

"Treat them differently, huh?" Xiao Rongxi straightened up slightly, but did not pull her back.

Just watch the moonlight fade in her eyes.

He has seen too many people combine for interests, respect each other as guests, and scheme against each other to squeeze the maximum benefit from each other.

Therefore, I have never thought that "Red Sleeves Add Fragrance" is a story worth writing about.

After all, love in the world is inherently luxurious, and talking about love in the royal family is even more delusional.

But he never expected that God would favor him. During his more than 20 years of poverty, there would be a continuous spring rain.

Xiao Rongxi hooked Nan Zhen's fingers and pulled her up from the ground, "It's getting late. Go back and rest. We have to travel tomorrow."

Nan Zhen was led forward by him, walking lightly, "Your Majesty, are you hungry? Yesterday, Bi Luo bought me some pastries and I haven't finished them yet. Do you want to eat them?"

"I'll just taste a little."

……

In the middle of the night, the wind still sounds.

Nan Zhen was sleeping soundly. She opened her eyes drowsily in Xiao Rongxi's arms and looked sideways. The person behind her seemed to be awake as well.

"His Majesty?"

Xiao Rongxi responded, still resting his chin on her shoulder, "Don't you sleep well?"

"got used to."

Even in the heavily guarded palace and Mingyue Pavilion, we are always vigilant, let alone in the wild.

The two of them didn't speak anymore, their consciousness gradually became clearer, and they listened to the subtle noises outside.

Maybe it's a bug, or maybe it's a human.

After about a moment, there was a small commotion outside the camp. The two looked at each other in the darkness and quickly stood up.

"puff."

The flames lit up, driving the night away, and Fei Liu's voice immediately sounded, "Your Majesty, an assassin has been captured."

Xiao Rongxi straightened his clothes and said, "Bring him in."

"Yes." Fei Liu pressed the assassin in. The assassin was gagged and his face was covered with linen, but he was still whining as if he was arguing.

Xiao Rongxi raised her eyes and looked at the petite person dressed as a servant in front of her, frowned, "Let him out and take a look."

Fei Liu followed his words and removed the linen covering her head. The sudden light made the assassin squint his eyes, and then his eyes widened, as if he had something to say.

Nan Zhen, who was watching silently, noticed her eyes and suddenly felt a little familiar, "Wei Yan?"

"okokokok."

The rag was still stuffed in her mouth and she couldn't speak. She could only nod hard and make sounds from her nasal cavity.

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Rongxi and Fei Liu were startled.

Fei Liu quickly took out the cloth that was blocking her mouth and said, "Miss Wei, why is it you?"

Someone just reported that he saw a sneaky shadow around the camp. After observing, he found that it was just this person, so he immediately caught the person.

It was difficult to see the face of the visitor in the dim light. Wei Yan had disguised herself so that no one could recognize her. Only then did she realize that it was a mistake.

Wei Yan got the chance to speak, and then she said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty."

Nan Zhen glanced at her dusty face and fleeing outfit, and suddenly felt funny, "How did she end up like this?"

"The march was too fast. I traveled day and night to get there." Wei Yan plucked her hair a little and stood upright when she saw Xiao Rongxi. "I didn't expect to be discovered as soon as I got close."

"If I let you sneak in quietly, all the secret guards on the ground would die to apologize."

Nan Zhen handed her a handkerchief to wipe her face, "Old General Wei, are you willing to let you out?"

Previously, Wei Yan asked Nan Zhen to go to the border with her. Nan Zhen did not refuse. However, when they were notified before leaving, a servant from the Wei family came to tell them that General Wei had locked him up and set up a trap. The agency doesn't allow her to mess around.

Nan Zhen understood that General Wei felt sorry for his junior. Besides, there was only Wei Yan in this generation of the Wei family, so he understood that he did not want her to take risks, so he gave up.

Unexpectedly, she came suddenly in the middle of the night.

"Empress, look at me like this, I don't look like I'm being upright!"

She was just about to relax when she looked at Xiao Rongxi cautiously, fearing that he would send her back with an order.

That's really hopeless.

Fortunately, His Majesty has said nothing so far.

Wei Yan wiped her face a little and drank a sip of cold water. After her whole body felt better, she started to worry, "You said I ran out secretly. If grandpa finds out, will he break my legs?"

Nan Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then I will send someone to take you back?"

Wei Yan: "...it's okay. Grandpa has to wait until I return to Beijing if he wants to take action."

"You are open-minded." Xiao Rongxi muttered lightly and took over the conversation, "It's late at night and we have to get up early tomorrow to go on the road. You can go down and rest first. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it later."

"Yes."

Wei Yan looked serious, performed military salutes with the two of them, and led Fei Liu to another tent.

An assassination crisis went away as quickly as it came.

Xiao Rongxi pressed her eyebrows and looked at Nan Zhen. The two looked at each other and smiled.

General Wei was very thoughtful. If he really wanted to trap her, how could he give her a chance to unlock the trap and escape?

It's just a test.

If she can untie it, let her go; if not, it will be difficult to protect yourself at the border, so it is better to stay in the capital.
