When she was suddenly pulled into his arms, Yu Linglong suddenly felt a little dizzy .

The familiar scent came to her nose, and her soft cheeks were slightly aching due to the dense embroidery on his chest, but she suddenly didn’t want to break free .

An unfamiliar feeling flooded into her heart that was unclear . It was the warmth he gave, and the peace of mind he gave . This feeling had been hitting against her closed heart until this moment . Only now did it come in like a tide, and it was so violent that she couldn’t resist it .

She had long been used to being alone, she had long been used to being cold, she had long been used to protecting herself . But now, a man was standing next to her, hugging her tightly in his arms, and she could tell by his actions that he would protect her forever, lift up a piece of sky for her, wouldn’t let her suffer any wrongdoing, and wouldn’t let her suffer any harm .

At this moment, all his efforts knocked a crack in her heart that had been frozen for a long time .

She was also human, so she will be tired . At this moment, she realized that she didn’t have to go against the world by herself . With him, hardships can be shared, happiness can be shared, and life needn’t be so heavy .

She didn’t push him away for the first time, but she let him hold her, letting his imposing body block all the cold wind for her .

The dim and cold winter day gradually became warm like spring .

After a long time, she gently pushed him away and whispered: “Let’s go back . ”

Walking side by side in the snow, there seemed to be some subtle changes in the relationship between the two people .

...

When he was going to bed, Lord Xu was called out by the emperor, saying that there was something to discuss . Lord Xu said a few words and hurried out .

After Yu Linglong freshened up, she fell asleep under the service of Xuan Cao .

There was a cold wind outside, but the inside of the tent was warm as spring . But lying in the soft fur, Yu Linglong tossed over and over, unable to sleep .

These days she often suffered from insomnia, but she couldn’t find the reason . It was not until this time that she suddenly realized that every bout of insomnia seemed to be related to him .

He was in the same room with her, but they were separated into two beds, so she could not sleep; he did not come back, so she could not sleep; he left in the middle of the night, so she still could not sleep .

What a strange thing .

After a long time, Yu Linglong finally couldn’t bear the drowsiness, and gradually became sleepy .

Late at night, a low voice suddenly came from outside the tent, with tension and anxiety: “Princess, Princess! Are you there?”

Yu Linglong was always alert when she slept, and she immediately woke up . Xuan Cao by the couch put on her coat . She walked to the tent door, and asked, “Who is it?”

The voice outside immediately replied: “Sister Xuan Cao, it’s me, I’m Hong Jian!”

Hong Jian? Xuan Cao was stunned, and even Yu Linglong was very suspicious .

It was so late, and Hong Jian was not waiting on Shi Huiru in the Shi’s tent . What did she come here for?

Yu Linglong sat up and nodded to Xuan Cao, who then opened the door and put let Hong Jian in .

Hong Jian was only wearing a small blue and white jacket . She was shivering with cold, and when she came in, she threw herself on the ground and trembled, “Princess, I’m begging you, please help my lady!”

Her pale little face was full of tears, full of horror and despair, and her bloodless lips kept trembling . She was obviously shocked .

Yu Linglong’s heart was tight . Could it be that Shi Huiru had an accident?

She asked in a low voice: “What’s the matter?”

Xuan Cao hurriedly helped Hong Jian up and poured her a cup of hot tea . Hong Jian held the warm teacup, and then she stammered the matter out .

Perhaps Hong Jian was so nervous that she was speaking incoherently . Yu Linglong frowned and listened to her for a long time before she understood the ins and outs of the matter .

It turned out that during the day when Shi Huiru left the banquet early, and he really went to find Yang Huanian with Hong Jian, but she did not find him in the tent of the Changting Hou’s mansion . She only chatted with Yang Yunzheng for a while . Yang Yunzheng told Shi Huiru that during the hunt, Yang Huanian’s performance was not outstanding . In addition, he was insulted when shooting arrows yesterday . He seemed to be in a bad mood . He looked depressed . Others ignored him and spoke quickly, so he didn’t say a word . After leaving the tent, even Yang Yunzheng didn’t know where Yang Huanian had gone . She only heard the servants outside say that the prince had gone to the east valley .

Shi Huiru was worried about Yang Huanian, but she couldn’t make it clear to Yang Yunzheng . After a few words of greeting, she found an excuse and went straight to the east with only Hong Jian .

On the way, Hong Jian also tried to persuade Shi Huiru that even if she wanted to find the prince, she should bring more manpower, but Shi Huiru was so anxious that she could not listen to anything . She only managed to run into the valley and look for him for more than an hour . It was so dark when she found Yang Huanian .

Perhaps because he was being ridiculed, Yang Huanian was practicing archery alone on the mountain, shooting several nearby trees with arrows . When Shi Huiru and her servant found him, he had exhausted his strength and was lying down in the snow under the tree .

Shi Huiru was shocked by this . Yang Huanian was already exhausted, sweating profusely, and fell asleep in the snowdrift . No matter how much they shouted, they couldn’t wake him up, and they came back to the tent to find someone . They were afraid it was too late to save him . Shi Huiru wanted to gather some dry wood and light a fire to let Yang Huanian warm up first .

Shi Huiru was a noblewoman . Although Hong Jian was a maid, she had never done any rough work . The mistress and servant were in a hurry, picking up dead branches and dry grass . Who knew they encountered a snake’s nest, and a hibernating snake was awakened by them . It immediately launched an attack on them, and Hong Jian, who was in the back, hid from it . Fortunately, she was not bitten . However, Shi Huiru, who was in the front, was bitten by the snake and couldn’t even stand up .

Hong Jian was almost scared to death, and immediately took Shi Huiru back, but Shi Huiru did not forget Yang Huanian, who was still frozen in the snow, and said that she refused to leave him, but asked Hong Jian to rush back to find someone to help .

This trouble came at night . Hong Jian exhausted all her strength and ran back, and finally ran to the tent, but did not dare to go back to the Shi’s tent to ask for help, nor did she dare to go to the people of Changting Hou’s house . After thinking about it, she only came to Yu Linglong .

After Hong Jian finished talking about the matter, she knelt down in front of Yu Linglong again, and said while crying: “Princess, go and save my lady . I have been back for a long time, and I don’t know what’s going on over there, lady . Will there be anything...”

Seeing Yu Linglong still pondering, Hong Jian walked forward and grabbed Yu Linglong’s skirt and pleaded bitterly: “I really dare not look for someone else . If someone finds that the lady is with the prince, then... that lady’s fame is over! The lady doesn’t have that many close friends, and you are the only one who can save her now! Princess, please, go and save the lady!”

While talking, Hong Jian kowtowed desperately, tears streaming down her face, her face full of despair and anxiety .

Yu Linglong stood up, put on her clothes as quickly as possible, and said in a low voice, “Ling’er, follow me . ”

Seeing that Yu Linglong promised to save Shi Huiru, Hong Jian was overjoyed and scrambled to her feet: “Princess, I will lead the way!”

In order to prevent being noticed, Yu Linglong didn’t even light a lantern . Fortunately, the moonlight outside and the reflection of the snow made it easy to identify the path .

While walking fast behind Hong Jian, Yu Linglong was thinking about it quickly . With her understanding of Shi Huiru, it was not impossible to find Yang Huanian alone, but why was it at this time?

Recalling every sentence Hong Jian said, Yu Linglong had guessed something vaguely .

Because of Yang Huanian, Shi Huiru’s relationship with Yang Yunzheng had always been very close, but in Yu Linglong’s heart, she had always been wary of Yang Yunzheng . She had always felt that this dignified and gentle Yang Yunzheng was by no means as simple as she seemed on the surface .

This time, Shi Huiru decided to look for Yang Huanian alone in the mountains . It was entirely because of Yang Yunzheng’s seemingly unintentional words . If Yang Yunzheng did not say that Yang Huanian was in a bad mood and went alone, Shi Huiru would not be so worried, nor would she decide to go up the mountain to find Yang Huanian .

It was impossible for Yang Yunzheng not to notice Shi Huiru’s affection for her brother, so she said so, was it just to lure Shi Huiru to the mountains?

Last time at Pudu Temple, Shi Huiru also mentioned that Yang Yunzheng asked to go up the mountain with Yu Linglong, but she did not show up .

It was also at that time that they seemed to have met Feng Sihuai by chance . Since then, the Yu House and the Feng Family have fought several times, and they have almost become deadly enemies...

In the snow, the figures of three people passed by quickly . Yu Linglong and Ling’er were both agile and vigorous . While Hong Jian was anxious, their pace quickened unknowingly .

They reached the edge of the mountain forest . The sparse woods are gradually disappearing, and there was an empty valley in front of them . The snow accumulated here throughout the winter . It was so deep that even the dead trees and grass can’t be seen on both sides . The mountains seemed to have become huge snow-capped mountains, all covered by thick snow .

There were messy footprints on the snow, which appear to be of different sizes under the faint moonlight, and they seemed to be left by Shi Huiru and Hong Jian when they searched for Yang Huanian in the afternoon .

Perhaps they were about to reach the destination . Hong Jian’s footsteps were getting faster and faster . In the silent snowy valley, her breathing seemed extraordinarily heavy and rapid .

Yu Linglong raised her eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, and suddenly became a little suspicious .

If Yang Yunzheng was only trying to use Shi Huiru’s affection for Yang Huanian to lure Shi Huiru up the mountain, then what was her purpose!?

Was Shi Huiru really injured? Didn’t they pick up firewood? Why was there not a trace of fire in this empty valley?

Yu Linglong suddenly stopped .

Ling’er didn’t know why she stopped, but she also stopped her footsteps and called out suspiciously: “Princess?”

Hong Jian in front heard the movement behind her, and hurriedly turned around: “Princess, what’s the matter?”

Yu Linglong looked up at the bare, snowy peaks and asked, “Where are they?”

Hong Jian’s eyes were nervous, and she pointed to the front in a flustered manner: “It’s not far ahead . ”

Looking at her anxious eyes, Yu Linglong asked gently: “Didn’t you say that Prince Yang was practicing archery here?”

You couldn’t even find dead grass here . Where could you find a big tree? Besides, if Yang Huanian really wanted to practice shooting, why did he go so far!?

Hong Jian stepped back subconsciously, and her shoes fell into the deep snow unknowingly .

“This... Princess, there are a few big trees in front of you, you can see them after turning this valley . ”

Yu Linglong said coldly, “Where are you going to collect firewood in this kind of place?”

Hong Jian’s face turned pale suddenly, but she did not answer Yu Linglong’s question . She turned and ran towards the depths of the valley, yelling as she ran, “Miss, Miss, I’m here!”

After speaking, she turned her head and said: “Princess, I heard the young lady’s voice, they are in front!”

In the empty valley, there was only the cry of Hong Jian alone, which echoed in the snow .

Yu Linglong can now be sure that Hong Jian is lying!

The anger of being deceived suddenly surged in her heart, and immediately followed up with a few steps, and shouted: “Stop!”

Before she finished her words, Yu Linglong suddenly felt that her feet were soft . The snow fell like quicksand, and a big black hole was revealed at her feet!

Yu Linglong couldn’t hold her footsteps, and immediately felt her body sink and fell straight into the hole . She was light and reacted very quickly, and she had only time to grab the edge of the pit with her hand, and wanted to jump up with her strength .

She stretched out her bare hand, but only caught the cold snow in her palms, and her body was still sliding down involuntarily .

Before Yu Linglong could think about it, she glanced at a faint bulge on the wall of the pit from the corner of her eye, and immediately reached out and grabbed it . This abruptly stopped her strength from falling .

With the light refracted on the snowy ground, Yu Linglong looked down . At this look, even the brave and strong could not help but let out a thin layer of cold sweat .

This trap was not deep, about five or six meters in size, but on the bottom of the pit, there were countless knife-points densely erected, glowing with a cold and sharp light under the moonlight .

If it weren’t for her agility, she would suffer serious injuries even if she didn’t die .

She heard Ling’er crawling over on top of her head and shouted: “Princess, are you alright!?”

The snow on the ground was like quicksand, still falling down . As Ling’er approached, the snow fell even more .

Yu Linglong said, “I’m fine, don’t come over . ”

After gritting her teeth, she sternly shouted: “Go and catch her!”

This was by no means a trap for hunting wild beasts . Even if it was to catch a beast such as a bear or a wolf, it was not necessary to dig such a deep pit, bury so many weapons, and spend such an effort to disguise it .

This trap was dug for the purpose of catching people and then thinking of Hong Jian’s seamless lie, she guessed that this trap was specially designed for her .

Grasping the protruding stone with one hand, Yu Linglong could only temporarily stabilize her body, but she could not climb up .

Hearing Ling’er’s footsteps away, Yu Linglong knew that she could only get out of the trap on her own .

They didn’t bring ropes, and even if Ling’er was around the pit, she couldn’t help her .

How could she climb up?
