Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 24
In Nange, Xiao Changning closed the door in a daze, and leaned back on the door leaf and couldn’t help breathing, as if there was an evil villain with his arms akimbo and cursing himself: Xiao Changning, Xiao Changning, you are still a princess! If Shen Xuan is unkind, you will be unrighteous, so you should rush forward and denounce him! What are you running? It is Shen Xuan who deserves a guilty conscience!
Xiao Changning lay weakly on the bed, gave the embroidered pillow a hard punch, and only dared to curse weakly in his heart: Damn Shen Xuan!
Tuk tuk-
There was a knock on the door, and Xia Lu’s clear voice came from outside the door: “His Royal Highness, do you want to burn a pot of wine to keep you out of the cold?”
“No need.” Xiao Changning refused happily.
Xia Lu worried: “Then, can I add some charcoal to keep you warm?”
Xiao Changning buried his face in the embroidered pillow, and said boredly, “Don’t bother me, let this palace be quiet for a while.”
Xia Lu didn’t say anything, as if she had retreated, but after less than a moment, the knock on the door sounded again.
Xiao Changning was upset and annoyed. He let go of the embroidered pillow and said impatiently: “I said no, get out!”
A tall silhouette appeared on the door leaf, and a calm voice came: “It’s me.”
Shen, Shen, Shenxuan!
Xiao Changning sat up suddenly and took two steps towards the door subconsciously, but paused slightly when his fingertips touched the door leaf. Her mood is not peaceful, and seeing him at this time will only increase embarrassment.
“Is Governor Shen doing something?” she asked.
The people outside did not say anything. The two were separated by a door, as if separated by an insurmountable gap.
Seeing that Shen Xuan hadn’t spoken, Xiao Changning said in a low voice: “My palace is tired, I’ll talk about it tomorrow…”
Before the words fell silent, the door was slammed open, and Shen Xuan strode in, dressed in cold air.
Xiao Changning was stunned and almost hit his nose by the door leaf. He took two steps back and forth, and said in shock: “You… why did you break in by yourself.”
Shen Xuan untied her black cloak and put it on the shelf. She kneeled cross-legged on her knees. She looked at her fiercely and said: “The eastern factory buildings are all under the name of the governor. The governor enters his room. “
Xiao Changning opened his mouth and said stubbornly, “If this palace happens to be changing clothes and undressing, wouldn’t you be rude to come in like this?”
Shen Xuan just looked at her amused: “Why is it rude to meet the husband and wife?”
Xiao Changning had nothing to say. He frowned and sat opposite him. He didn’t ask anyone to serve tea, and dryly put the admiral aside.
Fortunately, Shen Xuan didn’t mind, she stared at her deeply for a long time, and then asked: “The princess just now came to the school to look for me, but why did she turn around and run?”
It’s okay not to mention it, as soon as Xiao Changning’s chest is mentioned, the figure under the red plum tree always comes to mind repeatedly. She didn’t have time to appreciate where this sulking anger came from, only when she was accustomed to being aloof and could not tolerate her nominal husband to Qin Muchu…
“My palace didn’t find you, my palace just happened to pass by.” She turned to look at the incense curling up on the case table, trying her best to make her tone calm and natural.
Shen Xuan looked at her, as if she had seen everything through, pondered for a moment, and said clearly, “Why is your Royal Highness angry?”
Xiao Changning stiffened uncomfortably, and thought: He was right, why am I angry? What right do you have to be angry?
This marriage was so fragile that it could be broken at the touch of a touch. She was too busy to take care of herself, so how could she manage who Shen Xuan loved and hated whom?
She should have known these things, but she couldn’t control herself. She can’t forget the warm and strong arms of Shenxuan that day of the high fever, and his steady and strong chest…
“My palace has never been angry.”
“lie.”
Shen Xuan has always been strong, and Xiao Changning is used to accepting it when he sees it. At this moment, he is upset but unwilling to bow his head, full of anxiety and anger, clamoring to vent. She raised her eyes swiftly, her eyes were clear and clear, and she stared at Shen Xuan and said seriously: “This morning, Admiral Shen asked the palace what is the ‘Father of the World’…”
Shen Xuan raised her eyebrows, as if she was surprised that she suddenly mentioned this topic.
“The admiral said that’the ruler of the world’ is for the ruler to regard the common people under the sky as their own fathers, and care about the common people like filial piety to their parents. At that time, the palace did not refute. But now, the palace wants to tell you that you are wrong. “
Xiao Changning’s figure was taut, and his bright face was full of struggle. She clenched her sleeves tightly, her fingertips trembled, but her voice was steady and determined, saying every word: “The country is the home, the emperor is the father, and the majesty cannot be lost! There are many civilians in the world, but there is only one emperor. How can everyone take care of it? Come here? If the monarch has no prestige, a hundred officials without a leader, and the people do not follow, although there is a country but no ruler is intimidated, when the country collapses and the world collapses, just like now the heroes rise together and the traitorous ministers are in charge! So, although your opinion is novel, But it was wrong!”
At this point, her eye sockets were red, and she didn’t know what she had suddenly committed, and she repeated again in a choked voice: “There is nothing wrong with this palace, you are the one who is wrong!”
Xiao Changning’s eyes were filled with mist, and they looked even brighter and weaker. She was biting her lip, her body trembling with fear, but her voice had a different persistence from the past. It made a sound like broken jade, with an unprecedented color of determination.
Shen Xuan never said a word from beginning to end, her expression was solemn, she seemed to be thinking about the meaning of her words, and she didn’t seem to understand what she was insisting on.
Xiao Changning quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. She knew she was angering, but she just found an excuse to vent her anger.
She rebutted Shen Xuan and scolded the invincible Admiral Shen. She prepared for the worst. Although she was afraid of death, she was also heartily.
The room was so quiet that the needle dropped, and she looked at Shen Xuan with red eyes, waiting for a ruling from him.
I don’t know how long it took, Shen Xuan sat up slightly, and stretched out a slender and wide hand towards her.
Xiao Changning closed his eyes calmly, his wet eyelashes trembling slightly. She knows that her neck is delicate and fragile, and she can be completely free from this terrible fate with just a slight pinch…
However, Shen Xuan just used her rough fingertips to gently wipe the tear stains from the corners of her eyes, and said, “The identities of the minister and the highness are different, and the knowledge is naturally different. If you are wrong, you will be wrong. Why are you crying? ?”
Xiao Changning’s small nose turned red and closed slightly, almost crying again.
She would rather Chenxuan be more vicious to herself, worse, she would rather hate Chenxuan, resent Chenxuan, than to live so ignorantly and constrain herself.
Shen Xuan got up, pulled Xiao Changning up, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in an indisputable tone: “Let’s go out.”
“Go out? Where to go…Shenxuan!” Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Changning, who was still in tears, was pulled out of the door by Shenxuan, and then squeezed into a spacious and warm carriage.
Two quarters of an hour later, hundreds of famous fans were dispatched collectively to clear out the most prosperous Linlang Street in the capital.
The sky was gloomy, and the jackdaws swept across the roof. The fans stood by the side of the road with their swords and stood in battle; the hawkers shrank and trembled. Those who didn’t know thought that there would be something shocking about the East Factory.
A large, clean and powerful hand stretched out from the carriage, and gently opened the curtain, revealing the arrogant and handsome face of the admiral and **** of the East Factory.
Shen Xuan took the lead in dismounting, and then helped Xiao Changning down, who was blank and unresolved.
He led the gorgeous and noble eldest princess to the jewelry shop, raised her jaw slightly, and said proudly in an earthly tone: “As long as the eldest princess calms down, you can buy anything.”
Xiao Changning’s mood was ups and downs, and his mind was blank, and he was not sure whether Shen Xuan was breathing mad or mad.
“No, no need…” She squatted.
Shen Xuan said to the shopkeeper who was kneeling on the ground in a cold sweat: “Take out the treasure of your town shop and buy it.”
What? and many more!
Shen Xuan took Xiao Changning to a silk shop again. Xiao Changning had sweaty palms, which was comparable to torture, and shook her head again and again: “Don’t…”
Shen Xuan said to herself: “The latest fancy silk and satin come in one piece each.”
When he arrived at the restaurant again, Xiao Changning couldn’t bear it anymore, and said tremblingly: “It’s really not necessary. I don’t like these in this palace.”
Hearing this, Shen Xuan looked at her calmly, and asked, “What does your Highness like?”
“My palace likes…”
The gust of wind suddenly picked up and entangled the robes of the two of them. Snow flakes began to appear in the sky. At first, they were two pieces. In a short while, they became more and more dense, falling into his shoulders and in her eyes.
The first snow of this year came quietly at this time.
Xiao Changning suddenly turned his eyes away, and walked quickly to the empty alley, calming his slightly restless chest by himself.
“The princess…” Shen Xuan’s thin lips opened slightly before she said a few words and then suddenly stopped.
He seemed to be aware of something, his eyes suddenly became dangerous and fierce, he pushed Xiao Changning against the wall, confined her slender body in his arms, looked down at her from top to bottom, and said coldly: “Don’t move. , There are people hidden on the roof ridge behind the Governor.”
Xiao Changning froze, staring nervously at Shen Xuan’s handsome face close at hand, and whispered: “What should I do, call for help?”
The corner of Shenxuan’s mouth twitched, and she smiled very coldly: “Since someone is in a hurry to die, it has made him.” After all, Shenxuan’s dark eyes are like a deep pool, and she fixedly stares at Xiao Changning, saying: “You can’t stun the snake. Now, if the Governor wants to get him to do it, he needs the cooperation of His Highness.”
Xiao Changning didn’t care about his random thoughts, swallowed hard, and asked, “Such as…how to cooperate?”
Her eyes reflected the brilliant streets of the capital, the dark blue sky and the corrugation, and also the Shen Xiu smile. He said, “Offended.”
There was snow in the sky and the alleys were secluded. Shen Xuan suddenly leaned forward and kissed her lips gently and strongly, revealing her back without reservation.
Snowflake was cold, but his kiss was so hot that Xiao Changning only felt that his soul had been sucked away by him. A certain thread in his heart snapped to pieces, leaving only a stiff body to cling to him and let him It was upset.
