Yu Yanran staggered with him, but there was no surprise or anger on his face.

"I'm not back..." Her voice sounded a little aggrieved and a little coquettish, like a lost little beast.

Xiao Xuanze glanced at her wide sleeves. No wonder she had to wear such a solemn palace outfit, otherwise these messy things would not be stuffed in her sleeves.

He picked her up and swept her to the wall, as fast as two swallows.

Yu Yanran leaned quietly in his arms, blinking her eyes and wondering what she was thinking.

The two fell into the yard, and Xiao Xuanze shouted: "Wuya."

"I'm here!" Wuya also jumped in from outside, "Please give me instructions."

"Go to find Jingying Wanxing, the rebellion has been quelled, let them all come out."

"Yes, I'll go now."

Xiao Xuanze still hugged her and didn't let it go. He looked down at her slightly. Seeing that she looked really tired, he hugged her and strode towards the Wanju. The two walked through the empty and quiet corridors of carved beams and painted pillars, and did not talk anymore from outside the door.

Yu Yanran's long vermilion dress and sleeves were dragged onto the clean stone brick floor. Xiao Xuanze's steps were steady and fast. If it weren't for their good looks, they would have looked like a pair of newcomers about to enter the bridal chamber.

When he arrived at Fanyunju, he hesitated for a moment and wanted to step forward and kick open the door and put her into the room.

"I want to take a bath first! Don't go into the house!" Yu Yanran shouted and turned into a moving squirrel.

Xiao Xuanze had to put her in the yard. Indeed, she was full of embarrassment now, and she was also a bloody smell, so it was not suitable to enter her boudoir.

Yu Yanran was placed in front of the stone table in the yard. Just as she was about to sit down, Xiao Xuanze pulled her.

"Um?"

He said with a cold look: "I see Jingying always put a mat first and then let you sit down. If you don't have you now, don't sit down."

Yu Yanran smiled helplessly, "It's okay, my clothes are thick and will not be cold."

"The sun is about to set and it will soon become cold. You can hold on...or if you rely on me for a while, Jingying will come soon."

Yu Yanran laughed, and she couldn't sit still without Jingying. But she didn't refute, leaning gently on Xiao Xuanze's shoulder, leaning against him like a wall.

Soon a series of footsteps came from the door, "Princess! Your Highness, King Zhan!"

The two looked up and saw the candle night, the crescent moon, the quiet shadow, and the night stars all ran in and looked at them with joy.

"Princess, you... have you been injured?" Jingying was frightened when she saw the blood on her face.

Yu Yanran shook her head and was about to speak, Xiao Xuanze reached out to her and asked her to continue leaning on her. At the same time, he said to Jingying: "Your parents and princess are fine, go boil water, she wants to take a shower and change clothes."

Jingying was a little surprised. This was the eldest princess’s private matter. King Zhan would actually ask her. She subconsciously turned to look at Yu Yanran, but maybe she was too tired. She leaned against Xiao Xuanze’s shoulder and nodded gently, as if she was about to fall asleep.

"Also, go find her a mat to sit on." Xiao Xuanze added.

Jingying and others suddenly realized that no wonder they suddenly felt that they were much closer. It turned out that it was just because the eldest princess had no place to sit...

Xianyue came over to support her. Jingying opened the door, Wanxing went to get the mat, and the rest went to boil water and cook. The mansion regained its popularity because the two of them came back safely.

Yu Yanran rubbed Xianyue's shoulders and reached out to hug her gently. Her shoulders were not as thick and wide as Xiao Xuanze. It was not very comfortable to lean on them, but it was another kind of peace of mind.

Jingying tidied up the house, hurried over and said warmly: "Princess? The water is ready, can you come in and take a shower?"

"Yeah." Yu Yanran stood up straight from the chair and walked into the room, like an obedient puppet, but in her condition, she always felt that something was strange.

"Wait!" Xiao Xuanze pulled her fluttering sleeves.

"Um?"

In front of everyone, he didn't want to say much, so he just approached her and threatened: "Don't think that what happened just now is over, you have to give me an explanation."

Yu Yanran's mouth twitched, there was nothing to explain, wasn't it just a gambling game? Why did he have to be angry?

"Yeah." She squeaked softly and walked back into the room with a light step. Xianyue and others followed her and closed the door.

Xiao Xuanze stood outside silently for a while before leaving.

He also had dirty bodies, so it was difficult for him to stay in Yuyan Dyeing Courtyard, so he went back to his yard and asked Nanbei to help him fetch water.

——

When the sky was dark, Yu Yanran had already bathed, changed into a moon-white skirt, and sat in the yard in a long apricot-colored dress.

"Princess, I will comb your hair for you?" Jingying took the comb.

"Um."

"Dongting and Sister Yunmeng have been taken back by His Highness Zhan's men. I asked them to rest first."

"Um."

Jingying sighed silently. The eldest princess has always been like this since she came back. It seems that this catastrophe has dealt a lot of blows to her.

"I'll do it." Xiao Xuanze suddenly came out behind the two of them.

"Your Highness..." Jingying wanted to stop it.

"You retreat, I have something to say to your eldest princess." Xiao Xuanze quickly and lightly took the comb from her hand.

Jingying looked at Yu Yanran in embarrassment, but she didn't turn around. She had no choice but to bow and take the other servants out.

A bright moon was quietly hanging in the yard. Under the bright moon, a girl in white was sitting at the stone table, resting with her eyes slightly dozing.

Her hair was not dry yet, draped over her body, hanging down below her waistline, straight and black, but it became more and more curved as it went down.

The bent hair ends were the result of being scorched by fire. Jingyinghara also wanted to come over to repair her hair ends. Although her body and skin were so moved by her parents, she could not let the half-calorie place stick to it all the time.

Xiao Xuanze looked, pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, and walked forward.

The shadow was particularly long by the moonlight, like a ghost, and the slender blade of the dagger was also stretched. Yu Yanran looked down and saw it hanging above his ears.

"Your hair is burnt, I'll repair it for you." He held up a lock of her hair, and before she could speak, her hand lifted the knife and the burning part of her hair floated to the ground silently.

Yu Yanran still didn't move or speak, like a well-behaved puppet, at his mercy.

Xiao Xuanze quickly cut off her hair. If Zhuye saw it, he would have scolded them for being unruly, but they had done too many things without rules, so she didn't care about this at all.

He finally knew that what she cared about was something else in her heart at this moment.

"I heard that Zhou Hengzhong is dead..." He whispered, no wonder the expression on her face was so ugly.

He heard Luo Yi talk about what happened at that time, and Zhou Hengzhong died in front of her in that way, which was indeed unbearable for her. After hearing this, he felt sorry for her.

"How did Princess Rouzhang die? Did you tell him?" Yu Yanran turned her back to Xiao Xuanze, and said the first sentence of conditioning after returning to the house.
