The Beihe River is only so far from Donglin Village, and Ningxiang and Guanping will soon arrive on the riverside.

There is a mountain bag on the south bank of the river, which is most suitable for Tibetans. Ningxiang looked over there first, and saw a coachman standing there, pointing behind him, and then the coachman walked towards the carriage parked in the distance.

Ningxiang walked forward without hesitation. She had been nervous for so long and there was nothing to hesitate now.

The little girl's back was determined, Guan Ping clenched her fists. After Ningxiang took seven or eight steps, she couldn't help but take a step forward and whispered: "Ningxiang, don't be stupid, living is better than anything else."

Ningxiang nodded softly without delay.

When I walked to the small valley, I saw Pei Jinghan standing in front of a cliff with his hands on his back, facing the mountain wall and tilting his head.

Ningxiang looked up along his gaze and saw a cluster of pink single-petal mountain flowers. There was wind by the river. The slender leaves and stems of the mountain flowers swayed gently, and the pink petals fluttered left and right like clouds, which were very beautiful.

When Ningxiang was a child, she often came to the river to play and saw these wild flowers. She lived at home for almost two months this year, but she never came to the Beihe River once. When she saw the familiar mountain flowers again, she felt like she was a different world.

She was fascinated by the sight and did not notice that the man under the cliff turned around.

Pei Jinghan left Tai'an Mansion in mid-May and has not seen his little maid for more than two months. He slowly turned around and thought he would see a panicked and scared girl, but he saw Ningxiang tilting her head, staring at the cliff with her almond eyes, and a faint nostalgia appeared in her clear eyes.

No fear or anxiety, the corners of her lips even slightly raised.

She wore a light blue shirt with a white long skirt underneath, and stood there pretty and became the most beautiful scenery by the river.

Pei Jinghan was fascinated by the fact that he saw it.

The first time he saw Ningxiang came to his mind. At that time, he had been busy in the army for half a month. When he returned home, he went to pay tribute to his mother first. Walking along the corridor, he saw a little maid in a red apricot shirt standing in the yard, looking up at the sunset in the sky, with a quiet face, rippling water in his eyes, and smiling at the corners of his mouth, as if he was recalling something interesting.

Pei Jinghan has seen all kinds of beauties, only Ningxiang, just standing there quietly can make him forget his fatigue for a day.

"Have you gone to the field to work?" Pei Jinghan stared at her still fair face and asked in a low voice.

He called his thoughts back, Ningxiang looked at Pei Jinghan, and said chatting as she walked towards him: "I went to the orchard to help out yesterday. I picked fruits for a day and earned twenty cents. Did the prince just come back from Jingzhou?"

He stopped opposite Pei Jinghan, and was about twenty steps away from him.

Seeing her defense, Pei Jinghan smiled, smiled and looked stern, and said in a deep voice: "Go back with me, I will take you as my aunt."

Since she has redeemed her and since she doesn't want to be a maid, he will give her a title today.

He was still so domineering. He thought she liked the reward he gave. Ningxiang shook his head and looked at the mountain flowers on the cliff again, with a soft voice, "Does the prince like that flower? I like it very much. When I was a child, I saw them blooming beautifully. I dug a few plants and planted them in our backyard. My mother said on the side that the mountain flowers cannot be planted alive. I don't believe it. I watered them every day. Not long after, they died and they really didn't live."

"You compare yourself to those flowers?" Pei Jinghan smiled sarcastically, staring at her with phoenix eyes, "Even if you are, I will take you back. If you don't give it a try, how can you know if you can't survive?"

As he said that, he walked towards Ningxiang.

Ningxiang looked at him, suddenly raised her hand and took off her bun. Her black hair was instantly dispersed, making her skin look as white as jade and her eyebrows and eyes look like picturesque.

Pei Jinghan noticed the sharpness of the hairpin's tail, and couldn't help but stop, and his eyes became colder, "Do you want to threaten me with death?"

Ningxiang smiled bitterly, took off her right clothes with one hand, revealing half of her shoulders, making sure Pei Jinghan could see clearly, then put the tail of the hairpin on her delicate neck, and slowly knelt down, "The prince is kind to me, I know, but I am just a village girl. I just want to live a dull life in the countryside, I just want to raise my brother and grow up, and marry an honest farmer. I dare not threaten the prince. I beg the prince, I beg the prince for our master and servant. Let me go, don't force me again."

"I don't agree, so what about you?" Pei Jinghan said sarcastically. Since it was not a threat, why did she do with the hairpin?

It was just a scene where a woman forced herself to die, and Pei Jinghan didn't believe that she really dared to die.

He strode forward.

Ningxiang looked at him without blinking her eyes, but her hand pressed down. The hairpin tail like a fine needle immediately pierced into the girl's tender tofu-like skin. Suddenly, a bright red blood slowly flowed down, flowing through her delicate collarbone and sank into her clothes.

Pei Jinghan's pupil shrank, his eyes moved from her hand to her face, breathing heavily and heavy, "You really would rather die than give it to me?"

"I don't want to." Ningxiang stopped his strength as he stopped, and his voice trembled slightly.

But her blood was still coming out, and the veins on Pei Jinghan's forehead swelled up. The more distressed her, the more angry she felt.

Why didn't she continue to prick her? She didn't want to die yet? She acted like this because she wanted to force him to compromise because he liked her.

Pei Jinghan didn't want to compromise, and she threatened her with her life. Naturally, he also had the bargaining chips to threaten her, "You are really dead, I'll let your brother and your uncle's family be buried with you."

Ningxiang smiled gently and looked at him and said, "I am dead. Even if they suffer, I don't know. What's more, I'll die. If they know that I was forced to be a concubine by the prince and were depressed all their lives, they would definitely feel even more uncomfortable. If they die, maybe our family can still be reunited underground..."

"Then you go and die!"

Pei Jinghan roared angrily, his eyes were covered with blood at some point, staring at Ningxiang's eyes and walking forward.

Ningxiang closed her eyes and exerted force again.

It seemed that he had just pierced a little more inward, and suddenly the man's roar came from the front, "Stop, stop me!"

Ningxiang's tears suddenly rolled down, and her body shivered.

She hurts, she is scared.

My blood poured out little by little, flowing down my skin. What does it feel like?

Ningxiang didn't dare to open her eyes. She didn't want to look at Pei Jinghan again, and was also afraid that Pei Jinghan would see her timidity.

No one speaks, only men's heavy breathing is more obvious than the sound of the wind.

"Ningxiang, tell me the truth, do you don't like being a concubine, or do you like me?"

She closed her eyes and couldn't see anything, but Pei Jinghan could see it. Her tears seemed to fall on his heart, burning him torment physically and mentally. He spoiled her for so long, but she didn't like him so much that she would rather die than give it to him. Pei Jinghan was so angry that she was even more angry. He knew that she was threatening her, but she still couldn't watch her seek death.

Seeing that her clothes were stained with blood, Pei Jinghan could not even be stalemate, so he turned around and asked, his voice lowered.

Ningxiang slowly opened her eyes and said to him in gorgeous clothes: "Criminal, people's hearts are made of flesh. Some people are willing to be concubines. Either she doesn't really like that person, or she likes it too much, she is willing to give up on herself for him, and would rather suffer than care about him to find another woman. Criminal, I don't want to give up on myself and not to taste that kind of suffering. So when I knew that the prince was romantic, I never thought of being moved by the prince, and I didn't think of like a man who intended to have both wives and concubines in the past."

Pei Jinghan smiled softly, sarcastically, "So you want to marry a farmer? You see, most men in the country have only one wife, so they think they are all lovers? Ningxiang, I tell you, they are just poor. As long as they have money, they will immediately go to find younger and more beautiful women!"

Speaking of the back, he turned around suddenly, staring at the silly girl opposite him, still holding a glimmer of hope.

Ningxiang's little face was pale, but her almond eyes were extremely bright. "No, I believe I will find someone who treats me sincerely. If I can't find me, I won't marry you. If I find that he has other people in his heart after marrying, then I will leave him. Prince, I am so small-minded and I can't use any sand in my eyes. Whether you laugh at me for being delusional or hate me for being ungrateful, I beg you, can I let me go?"

Tears were like broken lines, rolling down constantly.

Pei Jinghan looked at her, glanced over half of her clothes that was about to dye her red, and turned around and left.

"Criminal, have you promised me?" Ningxiang staggered and stood up, pressing her neck and cried.

Pei Jinghan pursed his thin lips tightly, and did not admit it or deny it.

Ningxiang chased after a few steps, her head suddenly became dizzy, and she stopped quickly, not daring to show off again.

Pei Jinghan did not turn around and walked straight towards the carriage.

"Crown Prince." Guan Ping quickly chased after him, knelt in front of him on one knee, glanced at Ningxiang, and asked for instructions: "Subor..."

"Continue to keep guarding, and you must not leave without my orders."

Pei Jing said coldly, and after speaking, he got on the carriage with a calm face.

The coachman knew that the master was in a bad mood and tried to drive the carriage as steadily as possible.

Guan Ping kept kneeling and watched the carriage. It was not until the carriage left that she frowned and stood up, rushed to Ningxiang quickly, and saw the injuries on the girl's neck clearly, and could guess what the two of them had said. He signaled Ningxiang to sit on the ground, Guan Ping took out the hemorrhagic medicine he carried with him, and asked in a low voice while treating Ningxiang's wounds, "Has the prince promised you?"

Ningxiang was about to ask her, "What did the prince tell you?"

With eyes facing each other, under Ningxiang's expectant gaze, Guan Ping lowered his eyes and said, "He asked me to continue to guard you and wait for his orders."

Ningxiang's heart sank instantly and looked in despair in the direction where the carriage left.

Did he still refuse to give up?

The little girl's face was ashamed. Guan Ping didn't want to talk too much, but when she looked at her blushing half of her arms, she felt unbearable and whispered: "The prince has always acted ruthlessly and decisively. Today he did not take your life, nor did he force you away..."

The rest, as Pei Jinghan's secret guard, is inconvenient to talk about it.

But Ningxiang understood her unfinished meaning, and Pei Jinghan was indeed as Su Yue said, not so cruel that he ignored their lives.

So, will it be if she persists, Pei Jinghan will die of taking her as a concubine?

With hope, the wounds on my neck didn't seem to hurt so much, and I couldn't help laughing.

When Guan Ping saw this, he shook his head secretly. It was the first time she had met a silly girl who would rather die than enjoy wealth and glory.
