Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 3
The east factory only symbolically hung a few pieces of red silk, and more than a hundred fans were ready to go, standing by the sword, they were even more prestigious than Jin Yiwei.
A ridiculous and curious happy event, the whole East Factory was filled with inexplicable evil spirits.
The tortoiseshell cat in her arms seemed to be aware of the crisis, and instantly arched her back and the cat’s tail exploded. Xiao Changning wanted to comfort a cat who was as frightened as she was, but the cat gave a horrified ‘meow’, and dashed into the flowers and trees on the side, and disappeared…
“Amber!” Xiao Changning whispered.
However, the next moment, a big hand with well-knotted joints was handed to him.
Xiao Changning followed the big hand and looked up, Shen Xuan’s handsome and flaunting face.
Because Shen Xuan’s eyes were too sharp, and the **** dog beside him had sharp fangs, even though he looked handsome, Xiao Changning still only felt suffocating oppression.
Feeling everyone’s eyes falling on him, Xiao Changning took a few deep breaths, but he didn’t care about looking for the cat, and tremblingly put his hand in Shen Xuan’s palm.
Unlike Shen Xuan’s arrogant and cold face, his palms are very warm and powerful.
“You and I have no relatives, the wedding banquet is simple, and I will take you directly to the new house.” Shen Xuan said, leading Xiao Changning on the red carpet.
“No, wait…”
Before Xiao Changning had finished speaking, a Dongchang fan appeared from nowhere, knelt down to Shenxuan and told him: “The factory superintendent, the traitor refuses to confess, what should I do?”
Shen Xuan’s footsteps did not stop at all, her voice was cold and murderous, “According to the rules, light the sky lantern.”
The so-called’lighting sky lanterns’ is a torture commonly used in Dongchang: stripping off the criminals naked, wrapping them with cloth bandages soaked in nitrate oil from head to toe, wrapping them in’human rice dumplings’ and then hanging them on high On the wooden frame, they were ignited from the soles of the feet and the tops of the head respectively. The flames rose into the sky under the action of the nitrate oil. Accompanied by the screams of the burned, it was to’light the sky lantern’…
Xiao Changning’s fingertips trembled.
She hadn’t eaten for a day, and was frightened, and she ran into the scene where the admiral of Dongchang, who was famous for her fierceness, executed the traitor. Her eyes went dark and she staggered forward.
Shen Xuan supported her subconsciously.
“The eldest princess! The eldest princess!” The maidservants whimpered in the ears, “Woo, the princess fainted…”
In fact, Xiao Changning was just dizzy for a moment, but she simply used the trick and pretended that she was not awake.
Because this Dongchang was too notorious, Xiao Changning really didn’t know how to face Shen Xiu without knowing the details and temperament of the other party, so he simply chose to pretend to be dizzy. Even if the people were about to be choked to pieces, she was stunned to endure the pain without saying a word.
Above his head, Fang Wujing’s feminine laughter came: “The factory superintendent, they all said that your little wife is very timid.”
“Get out of the way.” Shen Xuan said.
Then, Xiao Changning felt his body rise into the air, before he waited for a minute, he fell into a firm and warm embrace.
“!!!” Xiao Changning was shocked: Shen Xuan? What is he going to do!
Shen Xuan hugged Xiao Changning straight, and walked towards the new house with a heavy face. Fang Wujing and other Dongchang workers were still applauding and yelling, “The factory superintendent is mighty!”
Xiao Changning’s breath was suffocated, only to feel that his heart was agitated because of fear of tension, almost breaking his chest. Under the golden fringe of the phoenix crown, her face turned pale and red, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she pretended to be dizzy and frightened, lest she might see the flaws by the Admiral Shen who was holding her.
Shen Xuan took her straight into the wing room covered with red silk happy characters, and the **** asked for instructions: “Admiral, can I ask a doctor to come?”
“No, this governor will take care of it.” Shen Xuan replied bluntly. She opened the door of the room while she was talking, and laid Xiao Changning flat on the embroidered bed covered with quilt, and then ordered, “Take a pot of cold water. come over.”
cold water? !
Xiao Changning knew that anyone who couldn’t stand the torture and passed out in the middle of the torture would wake up with cold water! No, I have carefully prepared red makeup for most of the day, but I can’t ruin it under a basin of cold water…
The eyeballs under Xiao Changning’s eyelids turned rapidly, and he was hesitating whether to pretend to wake up with a choke, but he heard the door creaking open and closed, and Shen Xin’s footsteps went away.
he’s gone?
Xiao Changning carefully raised one eyelid and looked around through the gap of the golden tassel on his forehead.
In the original dynasty, there was a custom of getting married at dusk, and tossing on the road for so long, it was already the dim time when the twilight came. Several pairs of red wedding candles were burning in the room, and the light was dim and warm. On the table in front of the bed, a few plates of longan, red dates and wedding candy cake were symbolically placed. In the empty and quiet room, there was no Shen Xiu figure.
Xiao Changning suddenly got up from the couch as he was born alive, lifted the tassel on his forehead and looked around. This should be the sleeping room, and it is also the “bridal room” of Xiao Changning and her eunuch’s husband. A few valuable colored bottles and jade carvings are placed on the tall wooden frame, and the rest are neatly stacked and neatly packed, but fortunately there are no strange and insidious instruments of torture.
Thinking of the instruments of torture, Xiao Changning felt a little sad. There were many people with disabilities, especially the eunuchs. I don’t know how that Shen Xuan would treat her. If she can take a blow, she’s most afraid of being slowly humiliated by these castrates…
Thinking wildly, there were footsteps outside the house from far and near, and Xiao Changning’s heart was tense, and he rushed to bed and lay down, pretending that he had never awakened.
As soon as she lay down and didn’t move, the door was pushed open again, and Shen Xuan went and returned.
Xiao Changning heard the sound of the water churn, and within a short while, her footsteps got closer and closer, Shen Xuan stopped by the bed, and Xiao Changning’s heart beat to her throat…
However, the next moment, a cold and wet veil covered Xiao Changning’s face.
The veil was soaked in cold water and covered Xiao Changning’s forehead with his mouth and nose, looking like a white cloth covering the face of a dead man
Before long, Xiao Changning felt a little difficulty breathing.
She felt that if she didn’t wake up again, she could be buried with this veil.
“Cough cough…” Xiao Changning coughed, turned his head to pull away the wet kerchief, and woke up leisurely.
He was facing the man’s deep and narrow eyes.
“Wake up.” Shen Xuan said in an affirmative tone, with a little urgency.
Xiao Changning held the veil in his hand, sat up awkwardly, glanced at Shen Xuan quickly, and lowered her head, like an aggrieved little lady.
Just sitting on the side of the couch with her knees pressed, Shen Xuan vividly showed the Ling Han and arrogance of the’East Factory Admiral’s Nine Thousand Years Old’.
Xiao Changning lowered his head and looked at Shen Xuping’s slender fingers resting on his knees, and found that the sleeves of his vermilion wedding gown were actually wearing a black-blue martial arts robe. I put on the wedding gown in a hurry, didn’t even change the old clothes in it, and made a perfunctory look too!
Xiao Changning was a dignified princess anyway, but she was so perfunctory and contemptuous by Shen Xuan. She couldn’t help but suffocated in her chest, but she didn’t dare to attack.
The atmosphere is a bit stiff.
Fortunately, Shen Xuan took the initiative to break the deadlock, touched the case with her clean and slender fingers, and said to her in a warm voice: “The dining room has some congee and snacks, and you can eat some fruit.”
Something to eat?
The world says that Shen Xuan is a murderous executioner, an ambitious treacherous court official, and this time she has given the Queen Mother Liang off her horse by marrying the princess. How can she treat her hostage so kindly?
It’s mostly because I’m full so I can send her on the road!
Xiao Changning could even imagine the tragic death of poisoning her hands and feet, and Shen Xuan would definitely reward herself with a three-foot white cloth covering her body, rubbing her fingers and calmly saying: “Princess Changning is stubborn, carry it down, together with the governor’s.’ The baby was buried in the grave of the Shen family together.”
Xiao Changning had a bitter cold, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, and whispered: “My palace is not, not hungry.”
Shen Xuan lifted her eyelids, her eyes were sharp to see through everything, “I am busy with getting married today. If you haven’t eaten for a day, how can you not be hungry?”
Xiao Changning clutched his stomach, just shook his head, his eyes were swaying slightly, and the corners of his eyes were red, as if he would cry if he forced it again.
Shen Xuan frowned. For a moment, he had to give up feeding, and instead said: “There is hot water in the clean room next door, go down to freshen up.”
The alarm bell in Xiao Changning’s heart, subconsciously squeezed the bedding under him, and said tremblingly: “Wash, wash…”
This is food and washing, isn’t it the treatment that death row prisoners have before they leave? To be so ‘good’ to her, can’t it be the bridal chamber?
After all, Shen Xuan is an eunuch! Xiao Changning couldn’t help but glanced at the position below Shenxuan’s waist and abdomen: How is the eunuch’s bridal chamber? Wouldn’t there be any hard-to-talk hobbies?
But whether it was washed clean and ready to go on the road, or cleaned the “bridal room”, it was a nightmare existence to her.
“Where are you looking?” Shen Xuan raised her chin and looked at her with interest.
His smile was very shallow, but with an arrogance of staring at the world. It is strange to say that he is obviously the **** of the East Factory, but his gestures are not feminine at all, and he is extremely oppressive.
Xiao Changning immediately retracted his gaze. In late autumn, she was shocked in a cold sweat, “I, I…”
Shen Xuan folded her legs carelessly and interrupted her, “I haven’t seen her in six years, is the princess Changning suffering from stuttering?”
“My palace does not wash!” Xiao Changning’s voice was soft, but unexpectedly stubborn.
Shen Xuan raised her eyebrows and chuckled, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t wash it, why is the princess shaking?”
As he said, his gaze fell on Xiao Changning’s shirt, slightly surprised: “You…”
Shen Xuan stretched out her long arms, ignoring Xiao Changning’s weak resistance, touched the white placket of her neck with her fingertips, and asked: “Why do you wear white clothes under the wedding gown?”
According to the ceremony, when a woman marries a woman, she must wear a red dress from the inside to the outside. This red wedding gown is covered with a plain white robe. Could it be that there are some unknown customs in the palace?
Xiao Changning’s belly slander: I don’t think I can wear filial piety to myself?
Shen Xuan was so clever, she seemed to see what Xiao Changning was thinking, she couldn’t help but slowly withdrew her hand, her eyes drenched, and she said coldly, “Oh, this superintendent understands.”
Xiao Changning’s face paled: It’s over!
