Li Tangyi took a sickle and a basket and ran straight to the foot of the mountain. She seemed to have seen those rare medicinal herbs waving to her.

But the mountain road was rugged and it had just rained, so the road was muddy.

She was afraid that the little girls would be a burden when she went up the mountain this time.

Leaving them all at home, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead as she looked at the bright sun.

"Why didn't anyone tell me that the mountain road was so difficult to walk on?"

In the deserted mountains, her voice echoed in the empty valley. After walking a few steps, there was an open space in front of her. From a distance, she could see a patch of weeds under a tree.

She was delighted and wanted to rush over impatiently, but after she took two steps, she heard a click.

A sharp pain came over her, and Li Tangyi thought to herself that something was wrong...

Who would have thought that there were traps and snares set by hunters in this open space.

As Li Tangyi exclaimed, a figure flashed over.

She only felt a flash of light, and her whole body flew into the air, with a familiar yet unfamiliar fragrance lingering in her nostrils.

Li Tangyi looked up and saw a chin with stubble against the light, a clear jawline, and familiar eyebrows.

It turned out to be Nangong Jin.

The force of the trap was so great that if it had really caught her ankle, she would have been very painful, if not broken bones. Fortunately, Nangong Jin appeared in time, and she was only scratched by the sharp barbs, but her tendons and bones were not injured.

The two looked at the ground, Li

Tang Yi gasped in pain.

"It was a close call. It was just a minor scrape."

She exclaimed and patted her chest.

"My Lord, why are you here?"

Her question also revealed what An Yi was thinking. Who could have thought that His Royal Highness Prince Xiao would come and steal his job?

But since he was his master after all, he could only hide behind the tree silently, not daring to show up, let alone say a word.

"Nothing, just wandering around when I have nothing to do, I didn't expect to end up here."

This excuse is extremely poor. How could the dignified Prince Xiao pass by here in the deep mountains and forests and the wilderness?

Li Tangyi seemed to be thinking about something.

"Oh, your Highness really chose a unique route."

Hearing this ridicule, Nangong Jin's ears turned red.

He could only quickly change the subject.

"You are usually smart and clever, how come you are so stupid all of a sudden? This is a flat land with no grass growing on it. This is deep in the mountains, how could it be possible? Someone must have set a trap here with nothing but weeds. You don't even know this common sense."

Li Tangyi's red lips moved. Of course, she didn't understand these things. She just looked up at Nangong Jin with some doubts.

"I didn't expect you, Your Majesty, to know so much."

There was a hint of pride in Nangong Jin's eyes. He really wanted to know what Li Tangyi was thinking at this moment.

I thought about how I could tell what she was thinking just by having physical contact with her.

He picked Li Tangyi up without hesitation. Li Tangyi's feet were off the ground.

Startled, he instinctively hugged Nangong Jin's neck.

"Why are you so mad? You want to hug me for no reason."

Nangong Jin, however, had a calm expression.

"Didn't you say you were here to pick herbs? This patch is full of thorns, but you're injured and can't move easily, so I'll carry you over."

It's rare that His Royal Highness Prince Jin is willing to patiently explain.

Suddenly, that voice sounded again in my mind.

What's wrong with this bastard? He's being so attentive to her for no reason. He must be a traitor or a thief. Her behavior has indeed been a little abnormal recently...

Nangong Jin frowned. The familiar voice and the vulgar words made him feel a lot more comfortable.

So he curled his lips slightly and spoke.

"Don't worry, I have no intentions towards you. I just want to help."

Li Tangyi took a deep breath. This man was really weird sometimes. How come every word he said answered the doubts in her heart?

Nangong Jin's hands were clasped on the woman's slender waist. The warm touch came through the thin cloth. He felt his heart move and wanted to listen carefully, but there was nothing.

This function suddenly became intermittent, and he walked a long way with Li Tangyi in his arms.

"Your Highness, go a little over there. There are herbs there."

Li Tangyi made a casual rebuke. She didn't want either of them to feel awkward, so she turned around and limped into the bushes.

Finally, when they reached the patch of thorns, he put Li Tangyi down with a look of resentment on his face.

But it can be considered a discovery.

Although the field was overgrown with weeds, there were some rare medicinal herbs. She squatted down to identify them carefully. When she was about to turn around, she found Nangong Jin following her closely.

"Your Highness, do you know that scaring people can kill them? How come you walk without making any sound?"

"My king...I just want to help."

Nangong Jin didn't give up and wanted to try again to see if he could hear more clearly, but he didn't expect to be caught suddenly. He just felt his face flushed.

She turned sideways and squatted to hide her embarrassment, and with a slight glance to the side she could see Li Tangyi's serious face.

"Princess, please don't go out and cause trouble recently. It's not peaceful to stay in the palace."

His voice was very low.

In the wilderness, only their two magnetic voices echoed in her ears, and Li Tangyi intuitively felt something was very subtle.

"There have always been undercurrents in the palace. What happened this time?"

Li Tangyi's words hit the nail on the head.

Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Fifth brother is back. I am the father and have suppressed the news and have not announced it to the public."

After hearing Nangong Jin's words, Li Tangyi smiled indifferently.

"So what if it's not announced to the public? The prince still knows the people who should know, and no one will be left out. Those who are late to know will always be kept in the dark."

Nangong Jin's eyes turned pale. If he had not been with Li Tangyi for such a long time, he would have really thought that the woman next to him was so wise.

She is right.

"The princess also

It’s really clear.”

Li Tangyi curled her lips. Of course she understood everything.

Looking at Nangong Jin's profile which looked as if it had been carved by a knife or an axe, he shook his head with some regret.

It's rare to have such a good appearance, but it happened that I was born in an imperial family.

Speaking of the fifth prince, she still has lingering fears, as he will be the main force in the fight for the throne in the future.

Throughout history, this fifth prince was a rare and ruthless person.

"Is your brother engaged?"

Li Tangyi asked Nangong Jin cautiously.

Nangong Jin was slightly stunned, and then a dark emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Why do you have such doubts, Princess?"

Li Tangyi pondered for a long time and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

She knew that the reason why Nangong Lan was unable to stand on the dome was ultimately because of a woman.

For the sake of that woman, he was deceived and killed on the spot.

Li Tangyi was just a little curious now. She wanted to know what kind of extraordinary woman was the one who could meet Nangong Lan at the top.

Li Tangyi was completely lost in her own thoughts, and she didn't even notice that Nangong Jin was pinching her wrist.

Nangong Jin heard every word of her hidden thoughts just now.

His eyes were a little deeper than before, and his thin lips were twisted into a thin line.

I didn't expect that this seemingly good brother who is not interested in worldly affairs actually has such great achievements.

For a moment, Nangong Jin felt mixed emotions.
