A trace of confusion rose in her eyes. She thought so in her heart, and asked directly: "Why are you here?"

"If I don't come, wouldn't you be eaten?" Thinking of the marshal who was tampering with her behind his back, his originally gentle face suddenly turned cold. Heather was frightened by the look on his face and shrank into the water to hide away.

Xue Tiannan accurately pinched her underwater waist, raised her legs slightly, and pushed the person up to the water surface and looked at her side. His brown eyes were shining with sharp light that could see through everything, and his words were as sharp as his eyes: "Why do you just want to hide every time you kiss?"

Heather sat on his lap, his hands were grabbed by someone, and suddenly felt an indescribable panic in his heart. The question she had not wanted to think about for a long time was forced to face it. She also knew that she was escaping, but she didn't want to know why she wanted to escape.

"Zheng... Prince, let's go first..."

"Just say it here!" Xue Tiannan held her hand tightly. He could see the chaos in her eyes, but he was upset that he could not know the reason for this chaos.

Heather let out a secret breath, forcing himself to calm down, and then said, "You ask me why I hide? Then why do you kiss me? Do you know what it means to kiss someone?"

"If you want to kiss, you can kiss me. What's the point."

Heather's heart suddenly shrank, and he almost forgot to breathe for a moment.

It was a very slight sting, like a thin and long needle, pricking the position of the heart bit by bit, her mind was completely blank at this moment, and she couldn't even think of even a word to refute this sentence.

Xue Tiannan realized that this sentence was wrong and was about to correct it. A rapid sound of horse hooves sounded on the shore. It was his guard who was with him who came to him.

"Criminal!" There were three people coming. When they saw their master staying in the river, they thought something had happened and jumped down from the dam.

"Criminal Master, you..." Is it okay? Why can't I come in water all the time? Also, "This young master..." Who is it?

Heather came to his senses after hearing the sound of speaking. Her face was wet and she didn't know whether her makeup was going on. She consciously lowered her head to avoid her eyes and shook off her unknown emotions.

Xue Tiannan lowered her head and glanced at her, wanting to take her to swim to the shore, but without waiting for his movements, the person in front of him had already broken free from his arms and swam directly to the riverside.

The guard presented a clean and warm blanket, and the prepared carriage stopped not far away. Heather went straight in without looking at anyone. Xue Tiannan wiped her body dry, looking at her back that had never turned back, with a deep gaze.

Seeing that both of them were sorted out, the guard walked over and asked for instructions: "Criminal, what are you going to do with the detained maritime merchant?"

Xue Tiannan put down the wet cloth that he wiped his hair and wrapped it with a dry and warm blanket. "He must have some skills to find the secret medicine. He must deliver it to the snow hall in person."

"Yes." The guard responded, glanced at the carriage parked beside him, and said with a slight hesitation: "Criminal, you are staying outside tonight. Can you send someone to inform the princess?"

It wasn't that he was deliberately making things happen, but he really saw that the wise and powerful man in the past was so good. As a seven-foot man, he couldn't accept it. Moreover, the man who was in the carriage kept bowing his head and was unwilling to look at others with real face. He was not necessarily an open and honest person.

He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the princess who had not yet started.

"No," the guard heard the master's tone and said in a low voice: "She has been out for the past two days, so there is no need to tell her."
