Chapter 3 Out of reach
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day.

After Xie Liangyue came out of the temple, she suggested to Youhe to go down the mountain and go to the market for a while.

When she was talking, she kept paying attention to the steps, until the person she cared about appeared and immediately walked towards it.

When she reached the third step, her foot slipped suddenly, and she was about to fall on the person in front of her.

Seeing that she was about to fall, Qi Yujin reached out to catch her, but she barely touched her shoulder, but was cut off by another person.

"Princess! Are you okay?"

Qiao Ji followed behind all the time, and rushed out the first time she saw her fall, a little faster than Qi Yujin who was closer to her.

Xie Liangyue was overjoyed, that's it.

She shook her head, stood up straight and rushed to Qi Yujin, who was in front of her, leaned slightly, "I have seen His Highness the Third Highness, it was Changyang who offended me just now."

"Princess Changyang." Qi Yujin didn't expect to meet her here, "No problem, is the princess injured?"

"No, thank you, Third Highness."

Qi Yujin met Xie Liangyue several times in the palace in the early years, but after a few years, she was even more beautiful.

"The princess is going back?"

Xie Liangyue was slightly startled, and knowingly asked, "Why did Your Highness come here?"

"I heard that this Hongyun Temple is very effective. The recent disasters in the south made my father worry too much, so I came here to pray for blessings."

Xie Liangyue sneered in her heart, what she said was exactly the same as in her previous life, but it was not the case.

Qi Yujin believed in gods and Buddhas, and was recommended by someone to meet a monk named Xingchi.

This Elder Xingchi claimed to know the world and the future, and he coaxed him into believing it.

And the reason why his eyes were gouged out was also thanks to this person.

This time when Qi Yujin came to Hongyun Temple, it was the first time to meet Elder Xingchi.

"There are three Highnesses like this, so the disaster will be resolved as soon as possible." Xie Liangyue flattered a few words, and then excused to leave, "Since this is the case, then Changyang will leave without delaying His Highness's blessing."

Qi Yujin said with a smile: "The princess walks slowly, and often comes to the palace to walk around when she has free time. The emperor's grandmother even mentioned the princess a few days ago."

"Yes, Changyang must visit her old man."

After bidding farewell to Xie Liangyue, Qi Yujin quickly walked towards the temple.

Xie Liangyue withdrew her smile and squinted her eyes as she watched his leaving back.

"hiss--"

Although she had noticed it just now, she twisted her foot unexpectedly.

I didn't feel it when I wasn't moving, but now that I went down a step, I felt a heart-rending pain from my ankle.

"The princess!"

Qiao Ji hurriedly squatted down to check, and found that her ankle was swollen.

"I'm not sure if I hurt my bones, but I should hurry back to my home and send the imperial doctor to take a look."

Immediately he bent down, "The way down the mountain is trembling, I can only ask the princess to condescend and let his subordinates carry you down."

Xie Liangyue was in unbearable pain, so she didn't worry too much, and lay on his back directly.

The person he was thinking about was being carried on his back at this moment. Although Qiao Ji was excited, he didn't have time to think about it. He steadied his footsteps, carried the person down the mountain as fast as he could, and then drove back to his home.

It wasn't until the imperial doctor said that no bones were injured that he leaned against Xie Liangyue's door and let go of his extremely nervous heart.

In the evening, Qiao Ji hesitated for a long time in the Princess' yard, but he still didn't make up his mind whether to knock on the door.

Until he sighed and turned to leave, he bumped into Young He who came out of the door.

"Guard Qiao?" She looked at the other party's unnatural expression, as if she was still holding something in her hand, "Is there something urgent?"

Qiao Ji was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak when he heard Xie Liangyue's voice from the room.

"Youhe, who is outside?"

"It's Qiao's bodyguard." Youhe replied.

"Let him in."

Only then did You He turn sideways and let Qiao Ji enter the room.

"Guard Qiao didn't sleep at night, why did he come to our courtyard?"

Qiao Ji's eyes dodged, his Adam's apple moved unconsciously, and it took him a long time to reach out and hand Xie Liangyue a small porcelain bottle.

"This subordinate has also been sprained before, and this medicine is very effective." He stumbled as he spoke, and then, as if afraid that the other party would refuse, he quickly added, "It does not conflict with the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician."

He raised his arm, but he couldn't wait for a response. Just when he thought it was unnecessary, he heard a chuckle from the opposite side.

"let it go."

He took a deep breath and put the medicine bottle on the table.

"Thank you, Guard Joe, I will use it."

Qiao Ji returned to her room, tossed and turned on the bed, but she couldn't get rid of the cold plum fragrance left on the tip of her nose.

He opened his eyes and touched his chest, and took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms.

The handkerchief seemed to be old and had burrs on the edges.Qiao Ji opened it to the window with both hands, and under the moonlight, he could vaguely see the dark flowers on it.

It was a crescent moon embroidered with pale yellow silk thread, the stitches were a little rough, probably because the person who embroidered it had just learned female red, so he was not very skilled.

He remembered seven years ago, the city full of starvation.

He couldn't remember what kind of mood he was in when he buried his dead parents that day, but he only remembered the girl in plain clothes when he went down the mountain; those two sweet mooncakes; and those special eyes.

"Don't be afraid, the emperor has sent very capable people to rescue you, and you won't be hungry any longer."

The sweet and waxy tone had nothing to do with her serious expression, but for some reason, Qiao Ji just believed it.

He thought of Xie Liangyue again, the woman was wearing an elegant plain dress, but her face was ostentatiously beautiful, and her pupils of different colors matched the plain dress, making her look even more enchanting.

Qiao Ji stretched out her thumb, and carefully outlined the crescent moon on the veil, her frowning brows were loosened, and the corners of her eyes unconsciously showed a rare tenderness.

She was the saint who fell from the sky when he was helpless, the moon in the nine heavens, and his unattainable dream.
-
Because of a sprain, Xie Liangyue had to stay in the mansion for half a month.

A few days ago, she felt that she was almost fine, and wanted to go out for a stroll, but was stopped by Qiao Ji at the door.

He emphasized sternly: "I have been injured for a hundred days. Although the princess is only sprained, I still need to rest for a while before I can recover."

Xie Liangyue was choked by his seriousness and had nothing to say, so she had to stay in the mansion.

Until today, her father took her into the palace to face the saint before she was able to go out.

"Today, the Holy Majesty summoned the father to enter the palace, but for the disaster in the south?"

Xie Liangyue and Xie Chengan sat facing each other in the carriage. Hearing this, Xie Chengan sighed heavily.

"It's rainy in the south in summer, and many towns near the mountains have suffered landslides, drowning many people."

He paused, and his voice was heavy: "The governor of Jiangnan, Chai Su, was hit by a falling rock on the mountain when he led his troops to rescue a few days ago, and his life was hanging by a thread. The emperor has been worried for some time because of this."

It seems that the general direction is still the same as in the previous life, but there are some subtle differences.

Xie Liangyue had an idea in mind, she nodded, thinking about the next trajectory in her mind.

This time the disaster was more serious than expected. Chai Su had an accident and there was no suitable candidate for the time being. The emperor asked his father to bring someone to pick him up this time.

Chai Su's wife passed away in his early years, but he didn't remarry because of his youngest daughter.

In his previous life, before he passed away, he entrusted his daughter Chai Tianhe to Xie Chengan, and Xie Chengan adopted her out of the friendship of his colleagues, but unexpectedly raised a tiger to cause trouble.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the palace people who came to greet them bowed their hands and saluted. Xie Liangyue watched the vermilion palace gate slowly closing through the car window, and an idea came to her mind.
