Chapter 1048 The Little Princess Looking for Her Mother
It’s Zhu Xuan!
Ran Xiaoyu's heart sank. Before she had time to think about it, Zhu Xuan exerted force and pulled her down.
"ah!"
Ran Xiaoyu fell down and staggered for two steps before she could barely stand. She hurriedly turned around and ran forward, but the soldiers in front had blocked the entire road, and Zhu Xuan behind her lost no time in whipping her again.
Suddenly, the whole person was trapped.
He pulled hard, and Ran Xiaoyu stumbled back a few steps and suddenly fell into his arms.
Zhu Xuan hugged her tightly.
"you--!"
Ran Xiaoyu was so angry that her pretty face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and wished she could bite him. Zhu Xuan looked down at her with a satisfied smile on his face.
"I've been thinking about this," he said, while tightening his other hand around her waist, holding her tightly in his arms: "How can I trap you?"
“…”
“I didn’t expect that it would take so many people to get to this point.”
“…”
"Xiaoyu, you are the most difficult woman I have ever met."
Ran Xiaoyu's eyes were red, and she said fiercely: "Aren't these the only ones you can rely on? Can you catch me by yourself?"
“…”
Provoked.
Zhu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but then smiled and said, "But, I am Prince Ning, and these subordinates are my strength."
“…”
"No matter what, my king, I have finally got what I wanted."
After saying this, he lowered his head and smiled into her eyes: "Perhaps, you don't quite understand my power yet, but - perhaps, you will understand soon."
Ran Xiaoyu got goosebumps all over her body after hearing his words.
But she sneered: "I don't quite understand your power."
“…”
"But I see your stupidity clearly."
“……?”
Zhu Xuan was stunned for a moment by her sudden confidence and provocation, but the next moment, he suddenly seemed to feel something.
The hand holding her exerted force, pulled her into his arms, and reached out to lift the cloak off her body.
Suddenly, everyone around was shocked.
Ran Xiaoyu originally carried Princess Xinping on her back, but now, she was only carrying a rolled-up gray monk's robe!
Just now, because she was running, everyone only saw the bulge on her back and thought it was Princess Xinping. They didn't notice at all that Princess Xinping had turned into a ball of clothes at some point!
Zhu Xuan's expression immediately changed: "Where is she?"
Ran Xiaoyu said coldly: "You are so capable, why don't you go find it yourself?"
“…”
Zhu Xuan looked around with a gloomy expression. At this time, all the monks of Dabao Temple had been detained by them. He took a look and suddenly found that the little monk who had followed Ran Xiaoyu to the door was gone.
He let out a deep breath, stared into her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Someone come here."
"exist."
"Immediately search this area and the city for a five or six-year-old monk and Princess Xinping. We must find them!"
"yes!"
After those people left, Zhu Xuan turned around and looked at Ran Xiaoyu in his arms: "As for you - Xiaoyu, just follow me back to the palace."
“…”
"You should understand the true extent of my power."
“——”
Ran Xiaoyu's face turned pale and she stared at him.
"Walk!"
After saying that, he held Ran Xiaoyu tightly and took her away alive.
At the same time, outside the Dabao Temple, at the entrance of a cave against the mountain, the young monk Mingxin carefully climbed out carrying Princess Xinping on his back.
Like a vigilant little animal, he stuck his head out and looked around to make sure there was no danger around.
Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Xiao Xinping, who had been quietly carried on his back, immediately made a humming sound of joy as soon as he saw the light.
Mingxin looked back at her and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately you didn't make a sound just now, it would have been terrible if someone found out."
“Ooooooo…”
"If they find us, we'll have to hide in this cave forever."
“Woo…”
"But that won't work either. Sister Xiaoyu just told me to take you to find your mother. But who is your mother? You're a princess, so isn't your mother the queen or a powerful concubine?"
“Ooooooooooo!”
"Where should I go to find her?"
Mingxin looked back at the Dabao Temple in the distance with some worry, then looked at Xiao Xiaoping on his back, and said, "But I never thought you would be a princess."
“…”
"But since you are a princess, I have to protect you."
“Ahhh!”
"Let's go," he said as he crawled out of the cave. He took off his monk's robe and was only wearing a tattered short jacket underneath. Because he had been crawling in the cave for so long, it was covered with dust.
He reached out and brushed his sleeves and knees, lifted Xiao Xiaoping on his back, and said, "Let's go, little princess, find your mother!"

The door was gently opened.
Nan Yan stood at the door and saw the tall figure standing in front of her. For some reason, her eyes became warm.
"ah……"
Although she tried to hold back, the tears still slowly welled up, burning her eyes and making them red.
No harm...
It turned out to be Li Bushang, he also survived the storm.
That’s great!
Although this was a happy reunion, at this moment, in addition to joy, her heart was filled with more sadness and helplessness.
When he thought of his own embarrassment, he heard everything Lian'er had just said.
She forced a smile to make herself look less embarrassed, but Li Bushang stood in front of her, looking down at his slightly red eyes.
"you--"
"Uh uh."
Nan Yan shook her head gently at him, as if to say - I'm fine.
But the look in Li Bushang's eyes when he looked at her was like a bottomless pool.
"I know."
He only said these three words, and these three words were like a blunt knife, cutting into Nan Yan's heart.
“…”
Li Bushan looked at her for a long time, from her eyes, to her pale lips, to her thin and pointed chin. With every glance, the gloom in his eyes deepened.
Finally, his eyes fell on her slender neck.
The scar on the throat.
That night, watching her figure being swallowed by the waves in the wind and rain, this scene was like a nightmare, and it kept appearing in his mind these days.
He finally saw her, but the scar still burned him.
"Nan Yan..."
He called his name softly, raised his hand and stretched it towards her neck.
As if wanting to touch her.
But just when his fingertips were about to touch the scar, Nan Yan suddenly took a step back.
At the same time, he himself stopped.
Now is not the time.
