Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 27

Xiao Changning thought that Shen Xuan was too frightened to accept the facts for a while, but looking carefully at his face, it did not look angry. She was not sure for a while, so she bit her head and explained: “Last month, my palace went to the bidet room and found your one…”

Having said that, Shen Xuan already understood that there was finally a crack in his calm and unchanging personality, his expression changed several times, and it took a long time to forcibly return to calm.

Shen Xuan said: “His Royal Highness, what do you go to such a place? I guess, the more caressing is the mastermind?”

He hit it, Xiao Changning’s eyebrows trembled, and his eyes were slightly erratic.

“Sister Yue didn’t know it.” She would not confess Yue Yao out of her death, so she said half-heartedly: “Isn’t my palace afraid of you at that time? I wondered if I could find something to check and balance you. , So I can find a way out for myself, just by mistake…”

She had no face anymore, and she held her sleeves with her hands, leaving Shen Xuan with an only appreciable look.

The warm wine on the brazier exudes an intoxicating aroma, and the heat is curling. Xiao Changning was ready to meet the storm, but after waiting for a long time, the imaginary storm did not come.

Shen Xuan only slowly bends one leg and puts one hand on her knees. She is quite an interrogation posture, and slowly said, “The governor is very curious, how can I go wrong?”

Xiao Changning seemed to be strangling his throat, and the little confidence he had just accumulated in the alliance dissipated seven or eight points, and reminded Shen Xuan: “You said you won’t be angry.”

Shen Xuan smiled shadyly: “The Governor is not angry.”

“Just… when you came back, your dog noticed it, snatched it, and ate it…” The last few words were already inaudible.

The corners of Shen Xuan’s mouth twitched, as if trying to contain something. For the first time in her life, that handsome and fierce face was a little dazed and collapsed.

He didn’t know how bad luck or coincidence a person would be to have such ups and downs.

Seeing him groaning in silence, Xiao Changning felt more guilty and uneasy, and he slumped down at the right time: “Perhaps your vicious dog was a catastrophe in this palace, and no one expected that encounter… this palace was really not intentional. ! As expected today, I would never make such a bad move. Don’t be angry, this palace is wrong.”

Shen Xuan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and asked, “Is that the day my dog ​​had a bad stomach?”

Xiao Changning nodded embarrassedly, raised his eyes like autumn water and said, “Can I not ruin my stomach after eating something like that?”

The eldest princess is very reasonable!

Shen Xuan’s face was strained, and he was full of bad water. She saw Xiao Changning put her hands on the case table, leaned in and said sincerely: “The palace will find a way to compensate you. Anyway, Admiral Shen Youth is flourishing, so I don’t rush to use it, right?”

“No need.” Shen Xuan rubbed her eyebrows, her forehead beating, “I don’t need it.”

Oh? It doesn’t need to mean, don’t you count her mistakes?

Xiao Changning’s heart was overjoyed, as if there was a ray of light in the thunderous sky.

But the next moment, Shen Xuan’s words sent her back to her original form: “However, the eldest princess is so injurious to the Governor, and she must not stop here at this time.”

As he said, he took out the impermanence book in his arms and slowly moistened the ink in Xiao Changning’s frightened gaze. He wrote and read aloud, and said in a low, heavy tone: “A certain year, the princess of Changning stole from the Governor…”

Ling Chi’s punishment is nothing more than this!

“Don’t don’t!”

The people who were recorded in the book of impermanence in the rumors have no good end. Xiao Changning was not afraid that Shenxuan would kill her. He was just worried that his clear name would be hurt, so he straightened up his upper body in a hurry, reached out his hand to cover Shenxuan’s book, and begged softly, “Don’t write it up. If it’s your book for others to see. Isn’t this palace a joke for everyone?”

Shen Xuan twisted the rat beard fine pen, as if reluctantly letting go, and said in a deep voice, “Then, how should Your Highness compensate the Governor?”

“Borrow someone else’s, give you a new “baby”…”

Shen Xuan didn’t listen to her at all, and raised her pen and brushed her ink: “Changning…”

“Okay, this palace won’t mention this!” Xiao Changning clung to his impermanence book tightly, and said anxiously, “Then you say, what do you want this palace to do?”

“It’s very simple.” Shen Xuan said, “Move back to the governor’s bedroom and serve him personally.”

Xiao Changning’s eyes widened slightly and couldn’t say anything: “You let a princess be your maidservant?”

“You still have to sleep together, the maid can’t climb onto the Governor’s bed.” Shen Xu said, staring at her with deep eyes.

The wind blew off the rustling snowflakes, and the charcoal fire made a crackling sound. Xiao Changning hesitated for a moment, then slowly retracted his hand.

Shen Xuan returned her hesitation and anxiety to the bottom of her eyes, looked at her slightly crimson ear tips, and said solemnly: “His Royal Highness knows, how does Dongchang deal with sinners who have taken things that shouldn’t be taken?”

Xiao Changning shook his head, thinking I don’t want to know…

Shen Xu has already said: “Cut off her hands and feet, goug her eyes and cut her tongue, and make it into a human being, so that she can no longer take things that do not belong to her, can no longer look at indecent things, and can no longer say things that shouldn’t be said.”

“My palace promises it, and what to do is so scary.” Knowing that he couldn’t help Shen Xiu, Xiao Changning glared at him softly, blushing and said, “However, this palace has never served others, Admiral Shen Don’t expect my palace to be more considerate.”

Yomo felt that being led by the nose by Shen Xuan was the majesty of the eldest princess, she added in a low voice: “You have so many ways to toss people in the East Factory.”

Shen Xuan just closed the book calmly and gently raised the corners of her mouth and said: “If you really want to toss you, your Royal Highness will never have a chance to complain.”

He opened his mouth slightly and pointed to his tongue.

Xiao Changning closed her mouth hurriedly, as if there would be a knife to gouge the tip of his tongue. But she was so upset that she couldn’t help it after a moment of silence, and asked, “Shen Xuan, you really agreed to me?”

Shen Xuan asked back: “I look like a person who will go wrong?”

“No, I just don’t think it’s true. If it were placed three months ago, this palace would never have imagined that I would be the same enemy and hostile as Dongchang.” Will help you.”

“It’s still the same sentence. Your Highness doesn’t need to do anything. Just as usual, you can stabilize the emperor for the governor.” Shen Xuan said indifferently, “This is very important. The governor did not want to die by the hands of foreign enemies, but died. Fight within the alliance.”

His words were deliberate, Xiao Changning naturally heard it, and nodded: “My palace understands.”

After getting the answer she wanted, Xiao Changning was so excited that she needed to go back to prepare for life and make a sure-fire plan to cope with the next three months.

Xiao Changning got up, walked two steps towards the door, then stood back and asked: “Admiral Shen, you will protect the emperor, right?”

Shen Xuan groaned for a moment, raised her eyes to look at her, and only said ambiguous words: “I will protect Your Highness.”

The snow is clear at first, the sky is shining, and the world is covered with a gentle silvery white.

Shen Xuan stood under the porch with his hand held down and watched Xiao Changning’s back flash into the opposite South Pavilion. Then she couldn’t help but raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a wild smile.

He whistled to the black dog sleeping on the corridor, and commanded: “Come here!”

The black dog was unknown, so he ran over with his tail wagging, but was pressed to the ground by Shen Xuan.

“Wow!” The black dog twisted and struggled desperately, but Shen Xuan burst into a hearty laugh, laughing until her shoulders trembled, as if the calm and seriousness that had just been pretentiously disintegrated at this moment, pressing the black dog to laugh hard. He got up, and said intermittently and lowly: “You starved beast born to death, dare to eat anything!”

With such a vivid and free smile and flying eyes, where is it like the usual Dongchang admiral of the prey?

On this day, Admiral Shen and the princess were separated by half of the courtyard, and each smiled knowingly in their rooms.

The first step to win over your sweetheart: pretend to form an alliance, deliberately approach, and achieve!

Two days later, Xiao Changning moved to Shen Xi’s room as expected.

She was deliberately late for a few days, and it seemed that she was not in a hurry. Admiral Shen also waited indifferently for a few days to see how many days she could hide.

When Xuehua entered the night, Shen Xuan returned from business. After bathing and changing clothes, she opened the door and saw the lights were shining. Xiao Changning was dressed in a new lotus pink dress, neatly combed in a bun, and wore the golden hairpin he had previously presented. Jade ornaments, sitting upright on the desk, practicing calligraphy.

Seeing Shen Yan’s return, she gently put her pen back, her expression a little cramped, the golden hairpins and pearls trembling all over her head-such gorgeously piled hairpin ornaments would not look gaudy only when they were worn on her head.

But Admiral Shen didn’t realize that his aesthetic taste was tacky. He only thought Xiao Changning today is extraordinarily good-looking.

As the candlelight flickered, Xiao Changning pursed his lips, his eyes swept across Shenxuan’s stern face, and landed on the carved door leaf behind him, then turned back from the door leaf, and landed on the slender knuckles of his thin knife. .

After a long silence, Shen Xuan untied her cloak and draped it on the wooden frame, strode over, and sat down opposite Xiao Changning, admiring her beautiful running script.

When the atmosphere was delicate, Shen Xuan suddenly put down the ink-stained rice paper and found a topic: “The minister has always wanted to ask, why does the princess hate eunuchs?”

Xiao Changning let out a soft ‘ah’, as if wondering why the admiral of the East Factory, who was in the **** murder business, would be interested in this matter. After a while, she said frankly: “In the winter when I was seven years old, there was snow for more than half a month, and many people outside the city froze to death. My father set an altar in the Taimiao to pray for the people. Our sister and brother stayed behind in Xibi. Gong, on the coldest night, the **** in charge of Xibi Palace concealed the false imperial decree from the mother and concubine on the sick bed, and deceived the young me and Huan’er out of the palace and locked them in the imperial prison. In the material room, I was found after being frozen in the boundless darkness for a day and a night. The imperial doctor said that if it were another half day at night, Huan’er and I would be dead.”

This result is not inconsistent with the information reported by Fanzi. Shen Xuan frowned slightly, her eyes darkened and deepened.

“In fact, it’s nothing. The **** was afraid of guilt and decided on his own. The fear and extreme cold of the year have faded with the passage of years. It is just that at the time when he was young, he didn’t understand what is called the anger of fighting for favor, and what is the danger of seizing a concubine. , I just feel that eunuchs are dirty and terrible things, and stay away from now on.”

For a long time, as soon as she approached the eunuch, she shuddered, as if she was still in the cold and dark utility room with no windows on all sides.

I probably felt that I was talking too much, and I was afraid that I would lose too much. Xiao Changning shut his mouth just right, no hatred or fear in his soft eyes, and only slightly uncomfortably said: “You scolded you like that six years ago, yes. The house is wrong.”
