All the way up along the Weishui River, Qin Wan didn't know where Yan Chi was going to take her, but this night was completely silent, and when he looked back, even the shadows of Baiying and Baiyue were getting farther and farther away. In the old days, there were only her and Yan Chi, who couldn't talk too much during the day. At this moment, there were no more obstacles and scruples, and Qin Wan felt very happy in his heart.
"Is it cold?" Yan Chi raised his cloak again, wishing he could wrap Qin Wan like a child.
Qin Wan shook her head, her beautiful eyes were looking at a gentle slope in the distance, "Have you been here before? What's ahead?"
Yan Chi's voice was low and deep, and in this silent night where only the sound of wind and water was left, it was particularly provocative, "I have never been here before. Although I was in Beijing when I was young, my father was not in the capital at that time. Ruochun Lie is like this, no one dares to bring me here alone, and at that time there were three masters in the palace, practicing day and night, this Spring Lie is here to play."
Qin Wan felt a little distressed when he heard that, Yan Chi was born in a noble family, so he didn't have to worry about anything, but he gave a hundred times more than others since he was a child, "Did you want to go to the battlefield at that time?"
Qin Wan asked, Yan Chi said in a cool voice, "Yes, I wanted to go since I was a child."
Qin Wan turned his head, "Because of Prince Rui?"
Yan Chi nodded first, but then hesitated, "Yes, and no."
Qin Wan didn't know why, and Yan Chi said, "My father is a man who is extremely difficult to surpass and defeat. I want to surpass him. This is a matter of race against time. It is said that when he was young, he was also like me. He worked so hard that the late Emperor even wanted to make his father the crown prince, but his father was taken care of by the queen mother, and he was grateful in his heart, so naturally he would not compete with Prince Luo and Prince Gong."
Qin Wan was slightly surprised when he heard this. If the former Emperor had such an idea and His Majesty knew about it, it would be an extremely dangerous thing for Prince Rui's palace.
"Does the emperor know what the late emperor thought?"
Yan Chi chuckled, "I don't know about that."
Qin Wan exhaled, "In the end, the first emperor still made the emperor the emperor, and I think the emperor has no resentment in his heart."
Even Qin Wan knew the cruelty of the battle for the throne, but Yan Chi didn't seem to care much when he heard the words. He just hugged Qin Wan's waist tightly, and with the whip off, he took Qin Wan and galloped up the gentle slope in front. All the way up Daying, there has always been a flat grassland. Qin Wan thought that there would be green grass behind this gentle slope, but he didn't expect that once he went up the gentle slope, his goal was a lake view. Qin Wan was surprised for a moment, and Yan Chi was also for a moment. Take the reins.
Behind the gentle slope is a sunken valley, and the lake is at the lowest point of the valley. Looking down from the top of their slope, the lake is in the shape of a half moon. mirror, and on a spring night, a thin layer of mist formed above the lake, looking from a distance, it looked like a fairyland!
This is the crescent lake!
Qin Wan was surprised at first that there was such an inner lake above the herb garden, and then he realized that Yan Chi took her out not only for a stroll on horseback, but also for taking her to see this lake.
"Where is this?"
"Crescent Lake—"
Qin Wan took a deep breath, "Sure enough, the lake lives up to its name, it's really like a crescent moon."
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the crescent moon tonight is also like a crescent moon. Qin Wan looked around and saw the crescent moon lake in the green valley, as if the crescent moon in the sky had fallen in the world, and the lake reflected the moonlight , also exuded a faint light, and the thin layer of mist just covered this bend of Qinghu with a beautiful veil, like a woman with a clear spirit covering her face, which is unbearable. I can't help but want to get a closer look.
Qin Wan took a closer look and could vaguely see some vague shadow in the center of the Crescent Lake. She patted Yan Chi's arm, "Let's get closer!"
Seeing that Qin Wan liked it very much, Yan Chi knew that his thoughts were not in vain, so he raised the corner of his lips and rode his horse down the gentle slope.
The closer you get, the more you can see that there is indeed something in the center of the lake. When you get to the edge of the lake, Qin Wan can vaguely see that there seems to be a small island in the center of the lake, and there are a few shadows of trees on the island. Because it was night, I couldn't see what kind of tree it was.
Just as he was thinking this, Yan Chi jumped off the horse. He stretched out his hand and hugged Qin Wan down again. As soon as his feet hit the ground, Qin Wan took two steps forward. The bottom is crystal clear, reflecting the moonlight, and you can vaguely see the white sand and stones at the bottom of the lake. Qin Wan sighed, "How do you know there is an inner lake here?"
Yan Chi smiled, "I calculated it miraculously."
Qin Wan glanced sideways at Yan Chi, "You can't fool me with that."
As he said that, Qin Wan knelt down and wanted to touch the lake with his hands, but Yan Chi grabbed his hand before he touched the water, "The lake is very icy at this time of year, so I can't touch it."
Qin Wan had no choice but to give up, but when she looked closely, she saw some flower petals floating on the surface of the lake. After knocking carefully, she found that there was a faint flow of water under the lake. They came from the Weishui River. Part of the water flow of the Weishui River comes from the Crescent Moon Spring. Thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't help looking at the island in the center of the lake. Because of the smog, he still couldn't see what was on the island in the center of the lake, but These petals don't always come out of thin air, if they are not on the island in the middle of the lake, they are on the other side of the upper reaches.
Qin Wan stood up, "You have good eyesight, see if there are any flowers and trees on the island!"
Yan Chi smiled, took a closer look, and said, "Want to go and have a look?"
Qin Wan naturally thought about it, but how
Just thinking about this, Yan Chi suddenly approached and hugged her in his arms. Before Qin Wan could react, he had already left the ground. She let out a soft cry and quickly grabbed Yan Chi's waist, while Yan Chi smiled. After a while, Qin Wan Yufeng was already rushing towards the island in the middle of the lake. It was the first time for Qin Wan to do this, and his heart couldn't help but rise to his throat.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and felt the cold wind and mist slipping past her cheeks, and soon, she smelled a quiet fragrance of flowers, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw two peach blossom trees.
Yan Chi hugged her and fell slowly from the top of the tree canopy. When his feet landed on the ground, Qin Wan still hadn't recovered, and subconsciously grabbed Yan Chi's arm tightly. He hugged her horizontally.
Only then did Qin Wan come to his senses, exhaled and said, "Put me down, it turns out that this side is really a peach blossom tree, and it blooms earlier than the outside—" Qin Wan saw a place where a person embraced the peach blossom tree, but he didn't know How long has it grown on this small island, the branches are knotted, and the roots are deeply pierced into the bottom of the lake.
The peach blossoms outside have just sprouted buds, but on this small island, there is already a tree in full bloom. When the breeze comes, the petals will fall to the ground, and the petals on the water surface come from this.
Yan Chi only knew that there was Crescent Moon Lake, but he didn't know that there were flower trees on the island in the middle of the lake, so he was even more satisfied, and he carried Qin Wan under the peach blossom tree before letting her go.
Qin Wan stood firm, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the other side, only to see Yan Chi's horse grazing leisurely on the bank, while Bai Feng and Bai Ying did not follow.
Everything is silent and the moon is quiet. This small island is only ten feet square. Except for the two peach blossom trees, the other places are covered with green grass and shrubs. However, where they are standing, there is a huge boulder embedded in the soil. At this moment, the boulder was covered with petals, Qin Wan did not dare to move, for fear of crushing the petals under her feet, but she looked around, but only saw the sparkling lake surface and the surrounding mist. In time, I felt that Yan Chi and I had arrived at a very private place, and they were surrounded by a veil, no matter what they were doing inside, people outside could not see clearly.
Qin Wan's heart felt hot, and her heart beat faster for no reason. Subconsciously raising her eyes, they bumped into Yan Chi's glistening black pupils, his eyes seemed to be dotted with flowers, and Qin Wan saw her pink-faced self in his eyes.
"here-"
Qin Wan wanted to say something to break the situation, but just as she opened her mouth, Yan Chi stopped her waist, "This is a good place."
Qin Wan was pulled close to Yan Chi, and her body was also attached to Yan Chi's body. She blinked, only to feel that Yan Chi's gaze seemed to be real, and it was burning in her heart.
"No one else can see what you are doing here."
Yan Chi lowered his head, getting closer and closer to Qin Wan. Qin Wan held Yan Chi's front with both hands, but leaned back slightly, "That...Bai Feng and the others..."
Yan Chi suddenly hugged her and leaned her against the peach blossom tree.
This small island was originally covered by night and mist, and even people outside couldn't see clearly. Now that Qin Wan leaned against the tree trunk, it even blocked her whole body. Even in broad daylight, no one would see her. .
Yan Chi raised his hand to Qin Wan's face, and brushed the messy hair around her cheek, "This way I won't be able to see."
Qin Wan's face was slightly hot, her heart was beating fast, and soon, Yan Chi's kiss fell.
The nose is filled with the quiet fragrance of peach blossoms and the smell of Yan Chi's body, and the quiet and deep murmur of the lake and Yan Chi's breathing are in his ears. Qin Wan closes his eyes and feels that his heart has also turned into a clear lake. , she clasped Yan Chi's waist with her hands, her thoughts and breath were taken away by Yan Chi, peach petals fell one after another, but she forgot where it was, in her heart, under her palms, and under her body, everything touched her. There was only one Yanchi, her breathing was getting hotter, her mind was in a state of confusion, as if she had fallen into the misty mist on the Crescent Moon Lake, only by holding Yanchi tightly could she calm down.
Qin Guan climbed tighter and tighter, and Yan Chi brought her into his arms more and more. The two wished to rub each other's ears and temples, and soon, Qin Wan felt a chill on his leg, but it was Yan Chi's hand. Her heart skipped a beat, but she saw that Yan Chi had thrown her cloak under her feet at some point, her heart was flooded with water, her legs and feet had no strength, and she slid uncontrollably along the tree trunk to the ground, Yan Chi would She gently lay down on top of his cloak, before Qin Wan could react, he had already covered him, Qin Wan couldn't help letting out a soft cry, Yan Chi's breath suddenly became heavier when he heard it, and he immediately attacked the city and seized the territory All of Qin Wan's thoughts were taken away, the crescent moon was shy, the clouds were timid, the breeze blew past, the smoke on the lake seemed to have spirituality, and they rushed towards the path slowly, as if the gauze curtain was lightly closed, and this The square inch of heaven and earth where the dark fragrance floats is like a private bed, curtain and fragrant boudoir, accompanied by the rain of peach blossoms, golden wind and jade dew, and the romantic flow.
On the other side of the lake, Bai Feng and Bai Ying slowly climbed up to the top of the gentle slope. Looking around, they only saw Yan Chi's horses grazing slowly by the lake, but Qin Wan and Yan Chi's people were gone.
Bai Ying quickly frowned, "Where's Your Highness?! Where's Miss?!"
As he spoke, he was about to ride his horse down the gentle slope, Bai Feng thought for a moment, but pulled Bai Ying's rein, "Don't worry, we'll just wait here, with the master here, we can What's wrong?"
Bai Ying still wanted to go down, but after thinking for a moment, she didn't know what she thought of, her expression was a bit complicated for a moment, and she still rode back to the other side of the gentle slope—
In the big camp at the foot of the Weishan Mountain, Tuoba Wu hid with a serious face on the trail leading from the residence of the imperial guards to the tents of the masters. She frowned, staring at the quiet road with her eyes motionless. trail.
Two maidservants followed behind her, and the three of them had been hiding here for an hour.
The maid's legs were numb, and she heard the words and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, are you sure that His Royal Highness must go this way when he comes back?"
Tuoba Wu snorted softly, "If you don't go this way, should you go through the main entrance? He didn't go through the main entrance when he went out, so how could he go through the main entrance when he came back? During the big hunting, there was a curfew at night, so he left the camp. But no matter what the reason is, it’s not good to be seen, this trail is the only flaw in this camp, I’m sure, he will definitely come back from here…”
In order to know where Yan Chi left from, Tuoba Wu inquired for half the night, and when she learned that Yan Chi hadn't left through the main entrance, she knew there was something wrong!
The servant girl yawned, "Princess, what if His Royal Highness doesn't come back all night? Could it be that His Royal Highness went hunting at night?"
Tuoba Wu sneered, "Impossible! He went hunting at night, why didn't he leave through the main entrance?"
The maid was left speechless by Tuobawu, so she could only continue to wait with Tuobawu, but Tuobawu was thinking in his heart, no matter what kind of tricks he caught Yan Chi, it would make her fear him a little bit. , no matter it's jealousy or what, it's good for Yan Chi to set his eyes on her first, she is a majestic princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, can't she attract a Yan Chi!
Just thinking about it, suddenly, a maid gave Tuoba Wu a hand, "Your Highness, someone is here!"
Tuoba Wu raised his eyes abruptly, and took a closer look. Sure enough, under the cover of the night, several figures were quietly walking towards the main tent. Tuoba Wu narrowed his eyes, and the person walking in front was tall and handsome, It must be Yanchi without a doubt! Tuoba Wu was overjoyed, but suddenly saw another petite voice coming out from behind Yan Chi, the figure only reached Yan Chi's shoulders, and looking at the steps and posture, it turned out to be...it was a beautiful woman—
Taking a breath, Tuoba Wu opened his eyes wide in disbelief!
