Wen Ning did not notice that Lord Xu was pulled to stand up by someone holding the collar of his neck, so naturally she did not notice that the person beside him had changed.

"I don't know the total number of victims." Wen Ning was lost in thought and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I'm afraid this high ground can't accommodate them all. We need to arrange for similar places. One or two places are not enough. We need four or five places."

"It's really hard to arrange it." The person beside him said in a low voice, "So we arranged it somewhere else. Yizhou now has a total of five areas, including the open space in Yizhou City."

"That's great..." Wen Ning was stunned and looked up suddenly. At the same time, a faint scent of sandalwood came from the tip of her nose. This scent was mixed with the fishy smell of water and soil, which was similar to the scent on Wen Ning's body.

Wen Ning's eyes and pupils reflected Xiao Yunci's smiling face.

"Your Highness?" Wen Ning was startled, a little frightened, but more of a surprise, and quickly stood up, "You're back."

She had a lot to say to him today.

But Wen Ning stood up too suddenly and became unsteady. She staggered and almost fell.

Xiao Yunci seemed to have anticipated her reaction. He leisurely reached out his hand, grasped her waist, and calmly pulled her into his arms.

Wen Ning's hands were still stained with mud, and there were also many mud spots on her body. She couldn't push him away when he pulled her, so she just fell into his arms.

She was suddenly at a loss, not knowing where to put her dirty hands.

Zhang Yinghe, who was not far away, originally wanted to watch the show, but when he saw this scene, he took two steps forward suddenly, his gums almost broken, and he wished he could pull Wen Ning out of his arms immediately.

Xu Yin, who had just been pulled away by Xiao Yunci himself, now had a face so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out. Besides being shy, he felt more guilty.

…Men and women should not touch each other, let alone she is the Crown Princess.

Xiao Yunci's gaze vaguely swept across Xu Yin's face. Although he had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were sharp and cold, like a blade, without any trace of hostility. That look pierced Xu Yin so much that he could hardly raise his head.

It’s over… Xu Yin almost cried.

Almost all the officials around gathered together, with different expressions on their faces, but they all understood each other tacitly.

A complex atmosphere was stirring in the air, ambiguity, jealousy, a faint warning... Xiao Yunci did not hesitate to reveal his concern and possessiveness for Wen Ning, as if he did it deliberately, and as if he was warning everyone around him.

Zhang Yinghe secretly said "tsk", this boy really thinks of himself as Ningning's husband!

Being watched by so many people, Wen Ning felt a little uncomfortable. She said softly, "Your Highness, my hands are dirty, please don't rub them."

Xiao Yunci then let go of her hand slightly, and when he looked at her, his expression had already returned to its gentle state, "Are you tired? Go and rest first, I will make arrangements for the rest."

"Yes." Wen Ning nodded, then raised her eyes and asked him, "How long will Your Highness be busy?"

"I'll come back to accompany you as soon as possible." Xiao Yunci smiled faintly when he heard that, and used his clean fingers to gently smooth the messy hair on her forehead, "You rest first, you don't have to wait for me."
