Yan Ling's words seemed to really work. Since then, Nan Yan had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Yan Ling had instructed Li Yi not to ask any further questions about Nan Yan. Under the tacit understanding of this group of people, this matter was quickly forgotten by everyone.

It was another beautiful day, and Yan Ling had accepted Liang He's invitation to go for a walk together. After all, it had been a long time since they had had such a peaceful time together.

The journey to the lake had been interrupted by the third prince, and he had even accidentally fallen into the lake. This chain of events continued to play out, leaving the two of them with no peace.

Now that all of these things had finally come to an end, the two of them naturally wanted to enjoy this rare and wonderful time together. After all, no one could say what would happen in the future. However, based on the current situation, it was likely that the situation would not be calm either.

Yan Ling led the people around him and happily left the room. However, he did not notice that there were people watching them from the shadows. As long as they left the mansion, they would leave from somewhere else. No one knew where they went.

On the grass of the outskirts of the city, a man and a woman were leisurely walking on a tall, snow-white horse.

Yan Ling raised his head and looked at the sun, which was not too high yet. He leaned against Liang He's chest and stretched. Suddenly, he felt very comfortable.

Nan Yan and Li Yi, as well as Qingyu and the other two followed far behind them. They carefully watched where they were, but didn't disturb such a beautiful scenery.

In truth, under normal circumstances, Nan Yan wouldn't have followed him. But because of what happened a few days ago, Yan Ling could see that although Nan Yan's performance was very normal, but his heart still felt a bit uncomfortable.

It was precisely because of this that Yan Ling had specially instructed Li Yi to bring Nan Yan along when he came out today.

"Do you think such a time is hard to come by?" Yan Ling suddenly tilted his head as he asked Liang He with his neck slightly raised.

"There will be a chance in the future. Wait for everything to settle down." Liang He naturally understood what she was thinking. He patted her head and comforted her.

"I hope so." It was rare for Yan Ling to be this relaxed. Naturally, he would not think about such annoying things.

Soon, it was noon. The sun was scorching. Because he had come out to play as he pleased, he didn't have any preparations in advance. Right now, he could only go to a nearby forest and seek shelter.

Although it was not as comfortable as the comfort of a group of people coming from the front and back, it was still a joy of freedom. There was also a strange feeling of relaxation. Liang He and Yan Ling were both very satisfied.

"Take Silver Eyes over there first. I'll go to the stream in front to wash my face." In front of a lush forest, Yan Ling said to Liang He.

"Fine, then be careful and don't slip. And don't drink the water there, I brought some clean water. " Liang He instructed.

While laughing, Yan Ling said with feigned disdain, "Alright, alright, I got it. He's not a child. His highness, the crown prince, is about to become a matron."

Liang He was helplessly pushed aside by Yan Ling. He shook his head and walked towards the woods.

The grass on the outskirts was plump and the water was clear. Yin Tong had already drunk a lot of water and eaten half of his fill just as he was walking around. It had saved him a lot of trouble.

Yan Ling watched with a smile as Liang He led Yin Tong away. Then, he walked towards the stream. Li Yi and Qingyu had originally wanted to help, but had been sent to rest by Yan Ling with a smile, leaving behind only Nan Yan who knew where.

Yan Ling came to the stream by himself. The water rippled under the sunlight like the scales of a fish. It also meandered into the distance like silk, giving people a pleasant feeling when they looked at it.

Holding a handful of water, Yan Ling gently patted his red face. Then, he dipped a handkerchief into the water and gently wiped his neck and forehead. He immediately felt a chill.

This kind of feeling seeped into his heart, causing Yan Ling to sigh. Then, he heard some footsteps, similar to the sound of a man walking.

At first, Yan Ling thought that Liang He was worried about him, so he came over. He couldn't help but have a smile on his face. However, the smile on Yan Ling's face quickly froze.

After Mu Qingqiu's treatment during this period of time, Yan Ling's hearing had become increasingly sharp and perceptive. She could hear that there was more than one person, and it seemed to be a deliberate attempt at concealment.

No matter how slow Yan Ling was, he could tell that these people came with ill intentions.

Although he had experienced many assassination attempts, Yan Ling had never escaped with his life. Now that Liang He and the others weren't by his side, even he was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.

With his past experience, Yan Ling could only pretend not to notice them and calmly think of a solution, as if nothing had happened.

But in reality, Yan Ling was already panicking. If anyone was here, they would be able to see his pale face reflected in the water.

Just as Yan Ling was at a loss as to what to do, a person suddenly appeared in front of her. It was Nanyan.

Yan Ling turned his head to find that Nanyan had also noticed their movements, and was lying on the grass waving her hands like Yan Ling.

Listening to the approaching footsteps, Yan Ling made a prompt decision. He pretended as if nothing had happened and just strolled casually towards Nan Yan. In fact, he had long since been scared out of his wits.

On the other side of the hill, there was a small hill. As soon as Yan Ling passed on his words, Nan Yan immediately pulled Yan Ling down.

"Go find the crown prince. I'll protect this area." Nan Yan's expression was serious.

Unlike Yan Ling, who could only hear the sound of footsteps, he could tell that the other party was going to do him harm. When Nan Yan was here, he had seen those three people more directly.

All of them held sabers in their hands. Judging from their footwork, it was obvious that they had all practiced it. From the looks of it, they were planning to take Yan Ling's life.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to be here alone." Yan Ling subconsciously refused. Although she knew that Nan Yan had practiced martial arts since he was young, in his eyes, Nan Yan was still a child.

"They will catch up to us very soon. The two of us won't be able to get out of here together. If you don't want me to die, then go find someone to come over. " Nan Yan frowned. At this time, his performance was truly surprising.

Yan Ling was startled. She wasn't some crazy fool that didn't have any sense for the sake of emotions. She was well aware that what Nan Yan said was the truth. Yan Ling understood that he could only stay here to be a burden, while Nanyan had to be distracted to take care of him.

Since that was the case, Yan Ling no longer hesitated. Instead, he earnestly instructed, "Be careful!"

Afterwards, Yan Ling quickly ran towards the direction that Liang He and the others were at. Yan Ling felt that he could hear even more clearly now. The faint sounds of Nan Yan and the assassin fighting could be heard.

Yan Ling was a bit worried, but he didn't dare to look back. He could only run forward with all his might, afraid that if he was any later, Nan Yan would die because of him.
