Chapter 40 Branches

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room through the window in the morning, Su Siman woke up.

She waited all night, and what she was looking forward to never happened. Although she was a little frustrated, she quickly cheered up. After washing the grass, he asked the doctor to take good care of Huangfu Chong. After finishing this, she went back to the inn with the drawings drawn by the doctor. Because the doctor said that the egret was in the water and was not very safe nearby, it was better not to go alone, so Su Siman decided to take Bixi with him. In the past few days, she really didn't dare to take it lightly before she met someone who plotted against her. She could no longer be so careless.

The blue seal's mood has recovered. Except for his pale face, he can't see any difference from usual.

After understanding what Su Siman meant, Bixi promised to go to the Egret field with her without saying a word.

"Miss, it's still early. Let's go eat something first. I don't know when I will stay there before I come back. I have to make some preparations. I'll ask Xiao Er to get some water and dry food.

"Well, you can arrange it quickly. I'll talk to Brother Gao so that they won't worry.

When Su Siman saw Gao Yunqing, he naturally dared not tell him the truth. He was afraid that he would be worried. He was inconvenient to move and stayed in the room all the time. In the past few days, he saw the elder and the second shopkeeper. He just said that he wanted to go out with Bixi, but he didn't disclose the specific matter. After a while of greeting, Bixi came up and called her to have breakfast before coming downstairs.

Because I thought about leaving early, I had had a hasty breakfast, and asked the shopkeeper about the direction, and the master and servant left in a hurry. It is obviously not easy to walk 112 miles from the town to reach the nearest ferry, and then take a boat and waterway. Fortunately, the tourmaline borrowed a horse from the shopkeeper, otherwise it would take a lot of time to walk on land.

When he arrived at the ferry, it had been three poles. A small boat was half hidden in the reeds, and the boatman didn't know where he was. If the map given to her by the doctor hadn't marked that this was indeed a ferry, Su Siman would not have believed it.

Su Siman and Bixi winked at each other, and both the master and servant were a little dumbfounded at the scene in front of them. The tourmaline put his hand on a pergola and looked at it. There was no half a ship within a circle. It seemed that this boat was the only one to be used.

"Ship family!" The tourmaline shouted.

She shouted several times before a muffled and complaining voice answered: "Where's the soul?! It's really disturbing to clear people's dreams.

At this time, Su Siman noticed that there was a small hut next to the reed bush, because it was full of reed poles, and the color was very similar. He didn't pay attention to it before and didn't see it.

"We are going to take your boat." The tourmaline slanted at his shack.

The boatman's thin body came out of the shack lazily. He casually straightened his clothes and half squinted at the pair of masters and servants. His eyes did not move and didn't know what he was thinking.

Su Siman's intuition was that he had some bad intentions, and the little eyes bursting out of his two small eyes did not escape her eyes. She is a little hesitant. This person is by no means a good person. Do you want to get on the boat?

The boatman has jumped into the boat, holding the long worm in his hand, and said with a smile, "What are you still doing? Come on!"

Su Siman is still hesitant to get on the boat. The space on the ship is narrow. Can the tourmaline beat him? Although I am good at water, I don't know if the tourmaline will do it. In addition, the boatman is always by the water, and the water must be good. If he is really plotted, don't he be buried in the belly?

Seeing that Su Siman seemed to be a little hesitant, the boatman impatiably fiddled with the wormoon: "You can't come up?"

"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Tourmaline also looked at his master doubtfully.

If you risk it, as long as you are expected to save Huangfu Chong, what are you afraid of taking some risks? Su Siman's heart was horizontal, secretly touched the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and walked to the water's edge. The tourmaline followed her closely.

Just as Susman's left foot was about to touch the boat, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Don't get on the boat!"

Although the sound is far away, it is thick and clear, with abundant internal strength.

Su Siman was stunned, quickly withdrew and took a step back. Seeing the sudden change of the situation, the boatman waved the worm in his hand and attacked Su Siman, who hurriedly avoided it. Just as she was hiding, there were too many flaws left all over her body. The boatman caught her body in the water, took her to the boat, and quickly clicked her acupuncture point.

Seeing that Miss was captured, Bixi swept from her hair, and the moon was already in her hand. She waved her hand and rolled up the boatman's upper body, making him unable to escape for a moment.

At this time, the person who reminded him had also flew to the front. The ghost swept the tourmaline path until the ship, and brought Su Siman back to the shore. It was so fast that the tourmaline could not even see his face clearly.

"I hope the princess will forgive me if I have been offended." The man bowed his head and held his fist.

Su Siman looked at him in disbelief and didn't say a word for a long time.

The moment he saw him, his face turned pale. Just as she was stunned, the boatman took the opportunity to break free from the shackles and quickly drove the boat away.

" Li Yuan, why is it you again?" After calming down his chaotic thoughts, Su Siman looked at his peaceful eyes and asked, "Do you know that you have disrupted my plan and delayed me to save people?"

"Everything is about the safety of the princess. I hope the princess can forgive me." Li Yuan's back was straight, his head was lowered, and his eyes were restrained.

"Who is the crown princess?" Su Siman sneered, "The crown princess was burned to death in that fire."

Li Yuan didn't say a word and still stood down, looking like he was waiting to fall.

"Princess, Princess Chu Hongxing has been dead for a long time! There has been no such person in the world for a long time! I'm me. I'm not the crown princess of Lao Shizi in your mouth. Please don't call me the wrong name again. You can call me Miss Su. Su Siman forced himself to calm down and tried his best to speak calmly.

"The crown princess will always be the crown princess. If you change your surname, you will still be the crown princess." Liyuan has some oil and salt.

"Pa--" Susman slapped him crisply in the face, and her anger completely broke out at this moment, concentrated and explosive. This slap made her hands a little numb. But Li Yuan still stood there steadily without frowning her eyebrows. It seemed that she had just not fanned him at all. She fell into the bottomless hole like a magnetic field and disappeared without a trace.

"You've been following me?!" Su Siman's voice couldn't hide his anger. Although he saved herself twice, she didn't have a trace of gratitude in her heart.

"I dare not." Li Yuan's face was expressionless, and his left cheek, which had just been beaten, was slightly red.

"You are so bold!" Su Siman scolded angrily, and Liu Meisheng formed an inverted eight characters, which was extremely angry. "Who told you to follow me? How do you know that I am still alive?

Li Yuan looked at the tourmaline silently and did not answer.

Bixi's face turned white again in an instant, her whole body trembled slightly, and her lips trembled a little uncontrollably. He looked eager and guilty, holding the burden on his shoulder, and his knuckles turned white.

"Miss, no, no... I didn't..." She was so anxious that she was about to cry. "Since I left the palace, I haven't reported anything to His Royal Highness. Miss, you have to believe me, miss, you believe me!" The tears of the two lines slid down from her slightly thin pale face, adding a little sadness.

"Princess, what the Bixi girl said is not false. Please don't blame her." Li Yuan pleaded with great difficulty.

The tourmaline looked at him gratefully and raised his sleeves to wipe his tears. He handed him a clean handkerchief in time.

Su Siman was silent, and there seemed to be a place in his heart that suddenly collapsed and fell empty.

Naturally, she knows that even if Bixi doesn't say anything, if Liang Shaojun wants to find someone, is it rare to beat him? He must have sent someone to stare at the tourmaline early in the morning. If the tourmaline found her, how could he not know? Even without the tourmaline, she is wanted by the whole country. Will he know? If he wants to send someone to monitor her, sooner or later he will find her, even if she escapes to the ends of the earth. She suddenly realized that yesterday, the prince's men did not want to kill her, but before they had a chance to take action, Li Yuan appeared to stir up the situation. At that time, she couldn't figure out how Li Yuan suddenly appeared. It turned out that it was not an accident.

Thinking about this, Su Siman smiled at himself. He was always so aware of it. No wonder I was put one after another at the beginning, and it really didn't grow.

"Are you also here to investigate the theft of contributions?" Su Siman smiled faintly, with a trace of sarcasm on the corners of his mouth.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the crown princess. That's true."

Li Yuan admitted calmly that Su Siman did not expect him to be so frank. He hesitated for a moment and asked again uncertainly, "Your Highness, did you also come in person?"

Li Yuan silently did not answer.

But his silence Su Siman understood it, and she couldn't help laughing again: "It seems that I guessed * inseparable. Although he is a prince in such a big case, he is not willing to fall behind. If he found out the context of the whole case, wouldn't he be able to greatly consolidate his position as the crown prince and make the emperor more dependent on him? The people in the palace always fight for power and profit, and they will never get tired of it.

"The princess said this, but how unfair it is to Her Royal Highness. His Royal Highness was unwilling to intervene in this case, if it weren't for the prince's concubine..." Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking, as if he suddenly saved himself that he should not say this, or was ordered to talk about this matter.

It's also true. What's the use of telling her about the important things in the court? This is a move. In addition to being framed and wanted, what does the money theft have to do with her? Su Siman smiled at himself.

"Princess, you have a misunderstanding about His Royal Highness. He is not what you think."

Li Yuan suddenly inserted such a sentence, as if the originally smooth and soothing classical music suddenly inserted into a pop music, which was extremely discordant in Susman's ears. She frowned unhappily, half-squinted and looked at him, as if she had never known him: "What makes me misunderstand him? It was he and his mother who planned to destroy the State of Chu. It was he who killed my brother with his own hands and destroyed our country. It was also him who forced me to a dead end. Now that I have finally escaped, why won't he let me go? You said I misunderstood him, and you said I misunderstood him! I know that you are his most loyal dog-legged. In other words, I can't say such a black-and-white bastard!" As she spoke, tears fell uncontrollably, and the past was vivid in her mind.

The heart hurts like a knife.

It has been so long, as if for several centuries, she thought that she had forgotten the sharp pain of her heart. Unexpectedly, once touched, the nerve was still so fragile, even fragile to collapse at the touch.

She still hates, hates, hates...
