Chapter 424 Is it a friend or an enemy

I don’t know what kind of incense is lit in the house. I won’t feel it at the beginning. The longer you stay, the easier it is to attract people’s attention.

When Ruan Youqing noticed the fragrance, his heart moved slightly, and he sat upright involuntarily.

It happened that Baili Huaijin just pulled up a chair and sat beside Ruan Youqing.

"We...should be friends, right?" Baili Huaijin finally spoke.

But Ruan Youqing didn't have the intention to deal with him, and looked at him without blinking.

Although I don’t know what deal he made with Nangong Liuyun that allowed him to come to Ningguo with Nangong Liuyun...

In any case... It can't be just to meet her on a whim.

Baili Huaijin, who didn't get an answer, frowned, then raised her voice slightly and continued, "Youqing?"

"Prince Baili, since you and I already know the other party's temperament...then...you may as well talk about it if you have anything to do." Because the other party was approaching, Ruan Youqing withdrew to the side.

The incense, she already smelled what it was.

The tranquilizing incense commonly used in the harem of Yuhuan Kingdom can relieve fatigue and relax the mind.

Although her internal strength is weakening, her nose can never smell wrong.

It seems that the other party didn't make any moves on the incense.

"Do you think... I must do something when I come to see you?" Baili Huaijin lightly clenched his fists.

Ruan Youqing didn't miss any expression on Baili Huaijin's face, so when he saw the look of loneliness flashing past in his eyes, Ruan Youqing took back what he was about to say just in time.

At this time, she was really extremely uncomfortable.

She didn't like the powerless feeling of being punched in cotton.

Baili Huaijin has not done anything to hurt her so far, so she can't speak too harshly.

Seeing Ruan Youqing's continued silence, Baili Huaijin suddenly burst into a smile: "This time I'm going back to Nanting, I'm going to marry the princess too."

Ruan Youqing was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously raised a smile and said congratulations.

But these two words seemed to touch Baili Huaijin's sore spot. He suddenly stood up and took a few steps back, looking at Ruan Youqing with even more complicated eyes:

"Ruan Youqing, don't you really understand what it means to come here all the time? The fire you set on the Cangmang River back then burned to...Gu's heart!"

"Prince Baili..." Ruan Youqing finally stood up, and his expression became serious: "If you really treat Youqing as a friend, we can still...be friends."

The words fell, but Baili Huaijin fell silent.

Just when Ruan Youqing was about to get up and leave, Baili Huaijin sighed and said helplessly, "Forget it, Guben doesn't want anything extravagantly. Just saying it... is better than keeping it in your heart. You just said Of... treat me alone... no... treat me as a friend..."

"Really." Ruan Youqing's face finally eased a little: "As long as you are not the enemy."

「Nanting and Ningguo have signed an alliance, we can no longer be enemies.」

When the eyes met, Ruan Youqing understood that Baili Huaijin was not lying.

"Then..." Baili Huaijin smiled sincerely, lifted the kettle from the table and poured two cups of hot water.

"Replace wine with water, from now on... see you again by fate?" Baili Huaijin pushed a cup in front of Ruan Youqing, while she picked up another cup.

Ruan Youqing raised his eyebrows lightly, and then pushed his water glass towards Baili Huaijin with a long finger.

"Let's change."

「..」

Baili Huaijin's expression froze, but then he laughed softly: "Aren't you afraid that if I really hurt you, you will become angry from embarrassment?"

Ruan Youqing raised the corners of his lips and said indifferently: "I remember that Prince Baili...is not good at martial arts."

"You woman..." Baili Huaijin finally widened her eyes in annoyance.

Seeing this, Ruan Youqing covered her lips and smiled, and picked up the water glass she exchanged with Baili Huaijin and gently touched the table.

Baili Huaijin curled her lips, and drank the water in the glass with her hands raised.

Seeing that there was nothing in the water, Ruan Youqing gradually put down his guard and drank his own cup.

Ordinary hot water, without any condiments.

It's just... After she put down the water glass, Baili Huaijin stood up and walked towards the incense burner by the window.

Afterwards, Ruan Youqing saw Baili Huaijin reach out and cut off the burning incense in the incense burner silently.

After realizing something was wrong, Ruan Youqing's heart sank and she wanted to stand up and leave, but she slipped and almost fell.

"Baili Huaijin!" Ruan Youqing gritted his teeth, his eyes instantly became icy cold.

But Baili Huaijin didn't meet her eyes.

The head and body became heavier and heavier, and Ruan Youqing finally couldn't beat the drowsiness of drowsiness and passed out.

..

"It's half an hour, Princess Nangong, we should go back to the inn."

Fan'er tirelessly urged Nangong Liuyun who was trying on clothes.

Nangong Liuyun curled his lips, and said unhurriedly: "You little girl, why are you in such a hurry, the old acquaintance finally met, and we must not let the two of you catch up on the old days. My princess mainly has you The maidservant with good eyesight sent you away a long time ago."

Fan'er's face was broken: "Princess Nangong, if you don't go back, then the servant will be rude and go back by herself first. "

"Okay, okay, go back, go back. This princess really owes you both master and servant."

After finishing speaking, Nangong Liuyun reluctantly put down the clothes he was about to try on, and followed Faner out of the tailor shop.

As a result... After returning to the previous room, they found that Ruan Youqing and Baili Huaijin were not in the room.

Nangong Liuyun leaned on the door frame, crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, his tone was a bit playful: "These two...can't they elope?"

"Princess Nangong, please be more respectful with your words!" Fan'er had a serious face, and then took a closer look inside and outside the house.

My master and Prince Nanting disappeared together...

And... there is no sign of a fight in the house...

Seeing Fan looking through everything in an orderly manner, Nangong Liuyun frowned inaudibly, and then said sourly: "Baili Huaijin doesn't know martial arts, and your master is so powerful, maybe Where did Ruan Youqing tie him up?"

Fan'er finally stopped what he said, thinking about the possibility in Nangong Liuyun's words.

Could it be... where did my lady really mess up Prince Nanting?

Maybe...Miss has gone back?

Thinking of this, Fan'er turned to look at Nangong Liuyun with an unnatural expression: "Princess Nangong... what happened today..."

"Don't worry, this princess won't say anything. If either of them has an accident, this princess will not be clean."

"Then... the servant girl will leave first. If our lady comes back, please tell her."

"Hmm..." After Nangong Liuyun lazily replied, Fan really left.

After the little maid left, Nangong Liuyun's expression changed, and he clapped his hands in the air.

Soon, someone came out from the darkness.

"What orders does Her Royal Highness have?"

"Go and find out... where did those two people go. If something really happened... this princess will not be swallowed alive by someone!"

At this moment, a carriage has successfully driven out of the city.
