Yan Yan said hesitantly: "This wouldn't happen, right?"

"What if he thinks we're done for, or will suffer heavy losses? The crown prince wouldn't risk harming his reputation. Furthermore, Empress Xiao definitely wouldn't leave something behind for Senior Concubine Xu to use against him." Lui Huai Yuan pointed out, his tone very grim. Only at this time would he reveal a different side to his normally silly self.

Many things seemed simple, but as long as the royal family was involved, it would become complicated.
"However, it's ok. Little sis Ah Yan, don't worry. I will definitely protect you!" After speaking, Luo Huai Yuan gave Yan Yan a splendid smile.

Yan Yan suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Of course saying all this was a little early. Everything was merely their assumptions. But despite this, they couldn't help but become cautious. After all, a moment of inattention may cost them their lives.

Now, the best thing to do was to conserve their stamina and wait for an opportunity to move.
Although Yan Yan's skills were extraordinary, this was the first time she encountered such a complicated situation. Her expression couldn't help but turn serious.

Shen Qi was the same. At this time, the effects of the Zhenguo Duke Estate's education became apparent.
Shen Qi methodically arranged everyone into shifts.

Half of the people defended against the wolves while the other half rested and recovered. He and Yan Yan also split up the work. At this moment, Shen Qi waved his spear continuously against the wolves while Yan Yan and Luo Huai Yuan went into the inner layer and rested under the tree.

"Don't worry little sis Ah Yan. Although your good friend seems a little dumb, the brat with her was quite clever despite being timid. I especially instructed them to be careful after returning and find the Zhenguo Duke first. Everything should be fine."

As long as the Zhenguo Duke knew about this, they would have several options available and nothing would happen to them.

"Hopefully that's the case."

Luo Huai Yuan looked at Yan Yan's solemn expression and changed the topic with a smile. "Little sis Ah Yan, you haven't responded to my words back then. I already confessed to you. What's your answer?"

Yan Yan became embarrassed again when recalling that matter. "What's a confession?"

He sighed in his heart, leaned in close and said quietly: "It means I like you."

Yan Yan pushed him away with a red face. "Don't speak nonsense."

"I'm not speaking nonsense. Are you still unable to see my feelings?" Luo Huai Yuan's face looked like he was mourning his father's passing, and was a little aggrieved. "Look how I didn't run away. Since I could ride Little Green for such a long distance to find you, I could definitely have run off with him again. But if you don't leave, I won't leave either. I will accompany you through life and death. Do you still not understand my feelings?"

Luo Huai Yuan's eyes were filled with complaint. Yan Yan actually felt afraid to look at him.
They spoke very quietly and were in the innermost layer. No one paid attention to what they were saying.

"Little sis Ah Yan, I really really like you a lot! Will you marry me and be my consort?"
Luo Huai Yuan grabbed Yan Yan's hand and looked at her very seriously.

Don't you know this attitude is very shameless? Who forcibly asks a girl this in public?

"I, I...." Yan Yan wretchedly turned her face away, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. "I don't know what you mean by 'like'!"
