Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 67

Xiao Changning’s gaze swept between Liang Yourong and Xiao Huan. The atmosphere was subtle and it was not easy to ask them in front of them. He only smiled and said, “It’s okay to go out and relax. It’s just that outside the palace is not more peaceful than in the palace. careful.”

“I’ll be careful.” Xiao Huan nodded, then looked at Liang Yourong, smiling as if thinking of something, “Besides, there is the queen.”

Liang Yourong retracted his gaze from the window and looked at Xiao Huan.

“The concubines don’t want to go fishing out of the palace at this time.” Liang Yourong suddenly opened his mouth, worrying faintly in his always calm eyes, and said in a low voice, “Please take your majesty back and die.”

“Queen…”

“Your Majesty does not need to say much. Your Majesty’s kindness to his concubines, his concubines are all in mind, but the capital is still in trouble, and he hopes that his majesty will take state affairs first.”

She didn’t want to continue this topic, so she got up and said: “The concubine still has to study martial arts and do homework, so please retire.”

Looking at Liang Yourong’s leaving back, Xiao Huan’s eyes darkened, he got up and wanted to chase him, but he was afraid that it would be inappropriate to leave Xiao Changning here alone, so he turned his face and looked at her pitifully: “Sister… “

“The queen didn’t say anything, but she was worried about you in her heart.” Xiao Changning smiled greatly and said to Xiao Huan, “Quickly chase, don’t care about me.”

With permission, Xiao Huan quickly chased in Liang Yourong’s direction.

Liang Yourong didn’t go too far. She seemed to be expecting Xiao Huan to catch up. She only held back the palace attendant and stood alone under the corridor outside the Hall of Cultivation.

Xiao Huan clenched a fist, slowed down and walked up, stretched out his hand and carefully pulled the side of Liang Yourong’s exquisitely embroidered sleeve, and whispered, “Sister Rong, are you angry?”

The way he called her “Sister Rong” was really affectionate. Liang Yourong seemed to think of the first sight and vows back then, and her heart softened. She shook her head and turned to look at Xiao Huan. Since the palace change at the end of last year, the two of them couldn’t help themselves. She hadn’t seen this young and forbearing emperor so seriously for a long time.

“The concubine is not angry, but worried.” Liang Yourong lowered his eyelids and looked at the hand holding his sleeve. “The matter of Beidi, even if the concubine is in the deep palace, he has heard of it. At this time, he left the palace. It’s not appropriate to play.”

“But, don’t you always want to go outside the palace?”

“Although his concubines yearn for freedom, they don’t want your majesty to bear the infamy for Bo Hongyan’s smile.”

The worry in her eyes was too obvious. Xiao Huan laughed when he saw it, and his eyebrows were crooked. He said, “I finally made up my mind. Listening to what you said, I almost wavered again. Sister Rong sacrificed too much for me, so why don’t I just do it for you?”

Liang Yourong shook his head lightly, not approving. She stared at Xiao Huan for a long time, and then slowly stretched out her hand, caressing his delicate eyebrows hesitantly. Liang Yourong’s eyes flickered, and he didn’t know what he was thinking, before he said softly: “Your Majesty, the concubines have indeed thought about…I want to support you until you grow old.”

As she said, she closed her eyes and opened them again, with sparkling waves in her eyes: “But we are all too young, and our whole life is too long and too long.”

They are at an age when their love is in the first place. They are too easy to be emotional, and too easy to be impulsive, and their former likes are ultimately difficult to overcome the gap of different paths. Xiao Huan’s eyelashes trembled, and he only smiled without talking.

Liang Yourong looked at him and said: “The emperor can let his concubines go out of the palace alone, and the concubines will be your sharp edge, cutting through the thorns for you.”

Xiao Huan did not answer her question, only raised her head and smiled: “Sister Rong, can I hold your hand?”

Liang Yourong was startled, then put her hand into her sleeve uncomfortably, and whispered: “The hand of a concubine is not tender.” Years of martial arts practice has given her palm a slight callus, although it is not so easy. Rough, but definitely not as soft and white as the hands of other noble women.

Xiao Huan didn’t give up, only gently grabbed her wrist, and then went down to hold her fingertips, smiling very contentedly: “However, only sister Rong’s hand can make me feel at ease.”

For some reason, Liang Yourong felt that what he had always insisted on was about to collapse and would not become an army.

The day when the empress goes out of the palace is set at the end of April. At that time, Crescent Lake was the time when the red lotus buds appeared. Looking around, the lotus leaves swayed like blue waves, and the mandarin ducks and waterbirds stayed and flew. Dashengjing.

But Xiao Changning had no chance to watch the unprecedented grand occasion of the empress’s outing. Although she was no longer nauseous in the past few days, her body was too weak, her body was sore and sore frequently, and the weather became more and more hot, making her lazy. Bone, even more do not want to go out and walk around.

It’s not difficult to read a book every day in the sun. The day before the trip, Xiao Changning was leaning on a wicker chair in the shade of the courtyard to read. The early summer sun was not too hot and made people sleepy. After reading about ten pages, she fell asleep and fell asleep. The book is closed, the palm is resting under the cheek, and he crouched sideways on the wicker chair like a baby to take a nap.

She was sleeping in a daze, with faint footsteps approaching, then the sun faded, and a large shadow enveloped her. Dimly, she felt a wet and itchy touch on her face, which disturbed her. Xiao Changning frowned, did not open his eyes, thinking that A Zhu was wiping her face, and said vaguely: “A Zhu, don’t make trouble…”

“Meow~”

A familiar cat cry pulled her mind back from Zhou Gong, Xiao Changning opened his eyes and happened to meet Amber’s colorful face. Amber meowed affectionately, squatting on her chest, rubbing the tip of her wet nose against her face.

Xiao Changning blinked, blinked again, and then looked down the big hairy hand on Amber’s back, and happened to meet Shen Xuan’s smiling eyes.

“Is this palace dreaming?” There was consternation in Xiao Changning’s eyes, but the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn’t be suppressed. He stretched out his hand to remove the fat circle of Amber, and got up to wrap Shen Xuan’s neck. Feeling the temperature of the sun on his body, she smiled, “It’s too real, it’s not like a dream.”

Shen Xuan said, “Come and see you, and bring the ugly cat to you as a company by the way.”

Amber, who was said to be an ‘ugly cat’, refused to accept and meowed like a demonstration.

Shen Xuan ignored Amber’s unreasonable troubles, only stretched out her hand to wrap around Xiao Changning, and the two fell on the narrow wicker chair, pressing the wicker chair to an overwhelming squeak, as if facing dismemberment at any time.

But Xiao Changning couldn’t take care of that much anymore, and only raised his head to meet Shen Xuan’s lips.

Amber, who was ‘abandoned’ by his master, yelled at the side, seeming to protest, scratching Shenxuan’s soap boots with his small paws, to no avail.

The two kissed passionately, the wicker chair creaked and squeaked, and they started a few birds on the flower stand.

“Tomorrow is the day when the emperor will travel. The palace thought I won’t see you before the matter is over.” Xiao Changning’s lips were bright, glowing, smiling at Shen Xiu, touching his forehead, touching the tip of his nose, breathing Intertwined with breathing, the empty space in my heart was instantly filled, and even the air seemed to exude a sweet fragrance.

Shen Xuan stroked her cheeks, with a look of scrutiny, “I heard that a woman will be more mellow when she is pregnant, but how come you have cleared it up a lot.”

Xiao Changning pointed at the Adam’s apple hidden under the collar, and whispered: “The belt is getting wider and I won’t regret it. I am haggard for Yixiao. Maybe I miss you too much.”

Shen Xuan’s eyes became deep, like a dark pool. He grabbed Xiao Changning’s disobedient hand and warned in a low voice, “Don’t move, I have endured it for too long.”

Xiao Changning silently withdrew his messy fingers, as expected, he didn’t dare to move any more.

The two cuddled quietly for a moment, and Xiao Changning asked, “Are you ready for tomorrow?”

Shen Xuan let out a light and deep ‘um’, and the exhaled air flow moved her ears, slightly itching.

Xiao Changning didn’t know what he thought of, and sighed: “My palace feels that Huan’er is very similar to you more and more.”

“Yes?”

“Yes. Although the auras of the two are not the same, one hides the needle in the cotton, and the other is sharp, but you have the same cruelty in your bones. In order to achieve your goal, you can even use your body as bait.”

Shen Xuan did not refute, but whispered: “Thank you for your praise, Princess Long.”

“Who praised you?” Xiao Changning glared at him annoyed, thought about it, and added, “You and Huan’er must return safely. If you dare to be injured, I can’t spare you!”

Shen Xuan raised her eyebrows and asked, “How can you not spare me?”

“I will, I will…” Xiao Changning thought for a long time, and finally said in a weak voice, “I will ignore you again.”

“That won’t work.” Shen Xuan gently squeezed her chin and turned her face to look at her, her tone returned to the arrogance she had when she first saw her. Stay with the Governor until your Highness is willing to pay attention to the Governor.”

However, Xiao Changning was no longer afraid of him, and snorted, “Dare you!”

Shen Xuan chuckled, lowering her voice and said, “Naturally dare not, I can’t bear it.”

The two chatted for more than a quarter, and Shen Xuan got up to leave.

“After these few days, I can accompany you every day.” Shen Xuan kissed her eyelashes, “Wait if you are wronged.”

Xiao Changning didn’t want to make herself look crooked and unreasonable. He suppressed the unwillingness in his heart and nodded lightly, “That’s fine. Be careful about everything!”

Her mouth is open-minded, but her eyes can’t hide her worries, which is especially distressing.

In the early morning of the second day, the two teams of Dongchang and Jinyiwei escorted the empress’s carriage out of the palace.

The weather when they went out was not good, the clouds and ink were drooping, and the sultry wind came after another, and it seemed that heavy rain was approaching. Shen Xu and Wen Lingyin were guarding a carriage with bright yellow curtains on the left and right. Fang Wujing and Yueyao led Changwei to follow them, respectively. In the carriage, there were shadows of people in the carriage, and the emperor could be seen sitting in vermilion uniforms. Inside the car, his face was not real.

After leaving the Meridian Gate, there is also a town where traffic is separated from the palace wall and the gate of the capital city. There is a mixture of fish and dragons, and accidents are most likely to breed.

Shen Yun’s eyebrows sank, and she raised her hand to signal Fang Wujing behind her: “Alert.”

Facts proved that his worry was not superfluous. The team had just drove into Linlang Street, and suddenly a cold light flashed on the eaves in the distance. Then, dozens of feather arrows burst through the air like rain, passed the factory guard, and shot directly at the carriage. Inside the car!

Oh, I really took the bait.

“Guardian!”

“Protect the emperor!”

As the attendants exclaimed, Shen Xuan squinted her eyes, staring sharply at the carriage nailed into a hedgehog. Wen Lingyin was also looking at the carriage, and the two cold eyes intertwined in the air, like a sharp knife colliding, sparking infinite sparks, and then staggering each other.

The assassins on the eaves jumped up like a group of jackdaws, already launching an attack.

With the wolves behind the sky, success or failure depends on this. Shen Xu raised the corners of her mouth and slowly raised her chin to Wen Lingyin, “How about forming an alliance with the Governor?”

Wen Lingyin didn’t speak, but silently drew out his sword, and rode his horse towards Shenxuan, then in Shenxuan’s steady gaze, he raised the blade of the sword diagonally to the top of his head.

Shen Xuan understood, and also raised her saber horizontally, the blade of which collided with Wen Lingyin’s sword, forming a cross in the air.

All the factory guards had seen it, and they all drew their swords and pointed them in the air. Inside the carriage, a young man in a red-embroidered golden dragon robe reached out and grabbed a flowing arrow in front of him, chewing pine nuts, and said vaguely: “Oh, the factory and the guards have formed an alliance. This is the first time in the ages.”
