"What, Ru Ge is the second prince of Dayan..."Hearing the serious news brought back by Ji Ling Xue, Mo Xiang's mouth opened, she couldn't close it for a long time, it was too outrageous, too much of a story, the person they had hired at the west outskirt of the city was actually a prince, that prince actually acted as a bodyguard for their princess for two months.

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, pouring a cup of water for herself, "Yes, I didn't imagine Ru Ge's identity would be so grand either, oh dear, what a pity there's no longer a bodyguard protecting me anymore."

 

Mo Xiang said: "Prince has a lot of hidden guards by his side, get him to give two to you." 

 

Ji Ling Xue shook her head, "The people by prince's side would be the prince's men, maybe at the slightest whiff of trouble, they would run to his side to report to him, I don't want such a hidden guard, on an outsider's side..."

 

Mo Xiang: "..." In any case you're family with the prince, no matter what he's not an outsider, but a family member.

 

At this very moment, Ji Ling Xue and Mo Xiang had changed into clean clothes sitting in the sun at the back courtyard of the authorities office eating melon seeds.

 

When Xiao Yi Chen came over, he heard such words, his lips couldn't help twitch, so it turns out there was another reason why Ji Ling Xue didn't want his maids or secret guards, it's because she didn't want him spying into her secrets?

 

Xiao Yi Chen coughed, indicating he was here, Mo Xiang hurriedly got up in greeting, "This servant greets the prince."

 

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, waving his hand at Mo Xiang, indicating she could retreat, he walked to stand in front of Ji Ling Xue, pouring a cup of tea to drink.

 

Ji Ling Xue was actually prepared to leave, but was called to a stop by Xiao Yi Chen.

 

Xiao Yi Chen said: "This prince has arrived, and you leave, did this prince offend you?"

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "I don't dare."

 

"This prince knows you're angry, there was no alternative, when you were caught by the Dayan third prince, you also beat them at their own game, you ought to understand the real reason why this prince didn't immediately come to rescue you, he is the Dayan prince, this prince represents Dongqi, I can't put my hands on him."

 

Ji Ling Xue turned her head, "So, you used Ru Ge to control him? Didn't you support Ru Ge as a representative of Dongqi, if Ru Ge doesn't successfully become emperor, won't you be an enemy of Dayan?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen laughed, "This prince believes in his foresight, I didn't read the wrong person, there wouldn't be such an if."

 

Ji Ling Xue: "After all he saved my life once, if I can help him, I would give it my all."

 

Xiao Yi Chen was stunned, recalling that day Ji Ling Xue hurried up the mountain to look for life saver was actually Ru Ge, at that time Ru Ge had deliberately concealed his identity and didn't want to expose himself so quietly left. Xiao Yi Chen nodded, feeling like he had done something right today, so he quickly responded, "Fine."

 

Ru Ge would become the next monarch of Dayan, he would not have the opportunity to come to Dongqi, his woman, he didn't want anyone looking at her. 

 

Nightfall, Xiao Yi Chen took Ji Ling Xue up to the mine, Xiao Yi Chen hadn't planned to take Ji Ling Xue, considering he had recently offended Ji Ling Xue, since he had the seldom chance to show off, he had to make the best of it.

 

Ji Ling Xue was very interested at this mine filled with mysteries, there was a chance to look around, she wouldn't turn it down.

 

The mine was on a high terrain and was dangerous, Xiao Yi Chen held a torch in one hand pulling Ji Ling Xue up with the other hand, Ji Ling Xue didn't pull her hand away from Xiao Yi Chen this time, in the face of danger, her temper could be controlled, the two one behind the other walked on.

 

The winds at night on the mountain was wild, Xiao Yi Chen used his tall body to block most of the wind, he was afraid Ji Ling Xue couldn't keep up, deliberately slowing down. Lowering the torch a little to make it easier for Ji Ling Xue to see the path, Ji Ling Xue raised her head to look at Xiao Yi Chen's black eyes, under the torch light they were like stars.

 

Ji Ling Xue smiled, continuing onwards.

 

Xiao Yi Chen was infected by Ji Ling Xue's smile, his hand tightened around hers.

 

Those guarding at the entrance of the mine had been replaced with Xiao Yi Chen's men, seeing Xiao Yi Chen's arrival, the guards hurriedly gave their respectful greetings, even though they had their heads lowered they intentionally or otherwise looked at the tightly held hands of Xiao Yi Chen and Ji Ling Xue.

 

The prince and princess had reconciled!

 

Ji Ling Xue followed Xiao Yi Chen into the cavern, there was a torch burning every few intersect of the tunnel to light up the place. From time to time there was a worker moving baskets out, the wicker baskets were filled with rocks.

 

Xiao Yi Chen said: "The county magistrate had previously poured manpower into excavating a vein of ore, thus its been made easy for us."

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, hearing Xiao Yi Chen's explanation, it sounded like he was going to misappropriate this mine, was that good? If his brother emperor found out, how jealous of him would he be.

 

It was clear Xiao Yi Chen was not worried about this, he took Ji Ling Xue for a walk around, and told Ji Ling Xue generally beneath the layer of soil there could be ore, leaving the mine, they entered a stone house close by, inside there was placed a basket of gold which had just been dug out.

 

Ji Ling Xue stopped in front of the basket, taking a piece of gold she looked at it under the torch light, stars filled her eyes, she couldn't even hear what Xiao Yi Chen was saying.

 

After looking at the gold enough, Ji Ling Xue tugged on Xiao Yi Chen's sleeve, smiling so much her brows and eyes were curved, in the playbook it says a smiling  woman's luck wouldn't be bad, a woman who knew how to flirt was the most loved, right now she was acting coyly to win favour, could it be exchanged for a basket of gold?

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "Prince...let's discuss business..."

 

Xiao Yi Chen already had insight as to what Ji Ling Xue wanted, with one look he could tell, only he really needed to use these golds for a special reason. Thinking for some time, Xiao Yi Chen picked up a big piece of gold placing it into Ji Ling Xue's palm: "Xue Er, take this piece of gold first to play."

 

JI Ling Xue's lips twitched, a piece of gold could deal with her, she was still angry at him.

 

JI Ling Xue hugged Xiao Yi Chen's arm, "Prince, I like gold the most, give me some more to collect?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen was very helpless towards Ji Ling Xue's changing attitudes, during the day she was still very angry with him for not rescuing her from that Dayan third prince, now she was smiling very sweetly, like nothing had happened during the day.

 

Xiao Yi Chen struck while the iron was hot: "Beloved princess, this prince still has something to discuss with you, let's discuss this properly under the covers in my room."

 

Ji Ling Xue spat out blood, pushing Xiao Yi Chen, if a soft touch didn't work then force has to be used, she raised her hands to grab the basket.

Xiao Yi Chen's movements were very quick, with a turn of his body, he picked up the basket with one hand, his body blocking Ji Ling Xue, "Beloved princess, you can't be naughty, this basket of gold is useful to this prince."

 

How could JI Ling Xue listen to this, her body turned, reaching out to grab the hand behind Xiao Yi Chen's back, Xiao Yi Chen's hand moved, the basket flew in the air, Ji Ling Xue hugged Xiao Yi Chen, raising her head towards the air.

 

Xiao Yi Chen's body stiffened, his body very quickly reacted being held by Ji Ling Xue like this, his face turned red.

 

Ji Ling Xue's attention wasn't on Xiao Yi Chen's body at all, seeing where the basket was falling she stretched out her arms to catch it, she was of course too late, Xiao Yi Chen held Ji Ling Xue's waist turning around, his other empty hand steadily caught the basket.

 

Ji Ling Xue's gaze which was always on the gold faltered, that's when she noticed how close Xiao Yi Chen was to her, the atmosphere became ambiguous.

 

Xiao Yi Chen's lips got closer and closer to her lips, her gaze became gradually blurry.

 

Ji Ling Xue's body suddenly fell forward, taking the initiative to "smack her lips" on Xiao Yi Chen's lips, Xiao Yi Chen was dumbstruck, Ji Ling Xue used this opportunity to grab the gold in the basket and turned around disappearing swiftly.

 

Xiao Yi Chen blinked, only after a good while did he realise what had happened, raising his hand to his lips he silently smiled.

 

Ji Ling Xue immediately ran down the mountain, taking a breath, using her hand to fan her heated cheeks, fortunately it was now dark, running out with a red face, she would definitely be laughed at by the guards at the entrance.

 

Ji Ling Xue took out a piece of gold kissing it, just for the gold, she even threw caution to the wind.

 

Ji Ling Xue took two deep breaths, turning her head to see if Xiao Yi Chen had come out yet, just when she was wondering whether to go down the mountain first, she saw Chi Feng taking a plain clothed old man up the mountain, seeing Ji Ling Xue he cupped his hands in greeting.

 

Ji Ling Xue asked: "Chi Feng, what are you doing?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen said there was a special use for these golds, but wouldn't tell her what for, she decided to probe Chi Feng.

 

Chi Feng pointed at the old man behind him introducing him: "Princess, this is a craft man hired by the prince, no matter what, if you give him a blueprint he can make it, I won't continue talking to you, prince is waiting anxiously, I'll do my work first." As he spoke he waved his hand at Ji Ling Xue, leaving with the old man.

 

Ji Ling Xue raised an eyebrow, following the figure of the old craft man with her eyes, Xiao Yi Chen wanted to spend a lot of money on making weapons?! 

 

Ji Ling Xue waited on the spot, in less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yi Chen walked out, seeing her he smiled, "This prince thought you had gone back, why are you standing in the cold?" As he spoke he ordered the bodyguards beside him, "Go bring that fur cloak of this prince here."

 

The bodyguard followed the order, after a short time, he held up a black fur cloak, Xiao Yi Chen reached out to drape it over Ji Ling Xue's shoulders, putting the hood over her.

 

Ji Ling Xue looked up at Xiao Yi Chen, "Why are you suddenly so nice to me?" She was used to being neglected, she wasn't used to being treated so nicely.

 

Xiao Yi Chen asked: "Isn't it good to treat you well? It's windy in the mountains, let's go, this prince will send you back." As he spoke he picked up Ji Ling Xue's rather cold hands putting it against his bosom, quickly her hands warmed up.

 

Ji Ling Xue blinked, suspecting Xiao Yi Chen had taken the wrong medication.

 

The two of them walked side by side down the mountain, this alone time was rare, Xiao Yi Chen thought about it saying: "Today...I'm sorry."

 

Ji Ling Xue curled her lips, not mentioning it, and really forgot about the matter of  the Dayan third prince, when she thought of him she remembered Ru Ge had left, her mood was immediately bad.

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "Ru Ge is gone..."

 

Xiao Yi Chen gave a grunt, waiting for the rest of Ji Ling Xue's sentence.

 

Ji Ling Xue continued to say: "Where can I find such a highly skilled and tall bodyguard, it's so exhausting being your princess, if I'm not being plotted against by women I'm taking by each country's prince as hostage."

 

Xiao Yi Chen said: "If you don't mind, I'll give you a loyal bodyguard."

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, she was waiting for these words.

 

Ji Ling Xue thought about it then asked: "Xiao Yi Chen, should I trust you?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen said: "This prince is your husband, your family member, the only person you can rely on, you ought to believe me."

 

Ji Ling Xue tilted her head to look at Xiao Yi Chen, the moonlight covered his face with a layer of cold light, causing his eyes to burn magnificently.
