Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 69

“I knew that you would pass by the pool, and indeed I was waiting there deliberately, first to test your character, and second, to pretend to be pitiful, so that you can feel compassionate.”

Xiao Huan no longer concealed it, but instead revealed his original plan, including the little palace lady named Liang Yourong Leading the Way, which he arranged in advance. In other words, Liang Yourong would meet the poor little emperor fishing alone in the ice and snow at that time and place, all under his control.

Liang Yourong showed a look of’it really is so’. By now, she didn’t have the strength to complain about herself anymore, and only asked Xiao Huan lightly: “If you do it again, will your majesty choose a concubine?”

Xiao Huan said without hesitation, “Yes.”

Liang Yourong lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Xiao Huan unconsciously rubbed his fishing rod with his fingers, looked down at the sparkling waves, and smiled bitterly: “In fact, at the beginning, I was a little jealous of you, but I couldn’t help being happy. That was the first time someone cared about me. What do you want, the first time someone gave me a gift, the first time someone held my hand and said that they would protect me forever… With so many first times, I became more and more unwilling.”

Unwilling to dethrone her, unwilling to let her go, the two gradually fell apart.

The fragrance of lotus was bursting, and the sound of waterbirds flapping their wings was heard from time to time. Xiao Huan suddenly raised his head and said with some expectation to Liang Yourong: “I know that I broke your heart, but sister Rong, you have been married to me for half a year. Have you ever been tempted for me one day?”

Liang Yourong’s red lips moved, and quickly tightened.

For a moment, she cast her gaze aside, her five fingers in her sleeves clenched slightly, and she whispered softly: “Your Majesty is only fifteen years old. How do you know what tempest is? It’s just like a chick, relying on the concubine who happened to appear.”

Xiao Huan’s eyes turned red, and he asked, “Well, since sister Rong knows that I am a fledgling bird, why did she come to provoke me? Was the vow you made under the altar also false? “

Liang Yourong said: “The oath is true, and so is our mismatch.”

Hearing this, Xiao Huan put down his fishing rod and stood up, smiling with red eyes: “When things are up to this day, Sister Rong is unwilling to even coax me? Say a nice soft word, even if it is to deceive me.”

Liang Yourong has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his heart is different from that of ordinary women. If she is traumatized, she will cut the flesh and bones and also remove the corrupt wounds. It is definitely not like Xiao Huan’s drinking poison to quench her thirst.

With bloodshot eyes, she stared at Xiao Huan and said: “The concubine does not have as much thoughts as your majesty, and the concubine will not deceive. However, no matter how painful your majesty feels at this time, the concubine will not be less than your majesty.”

“You know that my heart hurts, that’s enough.” Xiao Huan suddenly grabbed Liang Yourong’s wrist, got up and turned forward, with a handsome face leaning toward Liang Yourong.

With the mighty sky and thousands of miles of blue waves, Xiao Huan suddenly closed his eyes and lightly kissed Liang Yourong’s cheek.

Liang Yourong was shocked. He subconsciously tried to push Xiao Huan away, but a drop of hot water fell on the back of her hand.

Not dew, but Xiao Huan’s tears.

Maybe it was because he was afraid of hurting Xiao Huan, or maybe it was being burned by Xiao Huan’s tears, Liang Yourong was startled, and simply closed his eyes and stood stiffly in place, letting the jerky kiss stay on his cheek for a long time. She is no more relaxed than Xiao Huan, her heart is already overwhelming. The ups and downs of the past six months have burst like a flood, and tears have been filled in her eyes. Only by desperately closing her eyes can we stop the weak tears from sliding down.

Fortunately, Xiao Huan didn’t take any further action. He just pressed her lips to her cheek jerkily, then let go of her and took a step back, and said with a trembling, “Sister Rong, open your eyes and look at me.”

Liang Yourong bit her lips so much that she opened her eyes for a long time, and her eyelashes were moist, shaking gently as if she couldn’t bear the stains of tears.

Her nose closed, her breath was unstable and said, “Your Majesty, why is this?”

“Don’t hate me, okay, sister Rong?” Xiao Huan stared at him earnestly, as if to carve her appearance into his mind, pretending to smile, “Just leave me a thought. “

He grinned reluctantly, and the corners of his mouth raised for a moment, tears rolled down eagerly, not as cute as usual at all.

Xiao Huan even turned around in embarrassment, wiping away tears with his sleeves upright, sitting on the Zhulan in the pavilion with his back to Liang Yourong, and took a deep breath: “It’s going to rain.”

Liang Yourong looked at his lonely and thin back, and for some reason, there was a burst of distress in his heart.

“The concubine has never hated your majesty.” On the contrary, even though he was only taken care of as a younger brother and served as a king at first, she gradually realized that she had him in her heart.

Xiao Huan’s back trembled. After a long time, when Liang Yourong thought he would not speak any more, Xiao Huan suddenly whispered: “I’m hungry. Sister Rong can bring me some food, okay? It’s right by the lake. Everything is there in the carriage in the alley.”

His condition was not right, Liang Yourong couldn’t rest assured, and took two steps towards him: “Your Majesty…”

“Don’t come here! Don’t pity me.” Xiao Huan drank her, and the hand holding the fishing rod trembled slightly, as well as the float. His voice was a little choked, “Go, wait until I catch a fish, we will Go back to the palace.”

Liang Yourong suddenly understood something. After a brief consternation, she took a step back slowly… Then two steps, three steps, until she turned around, walked hurriedly out of the lake center pavilion, and ran out of the nine-curved corridor.

His vision was so blurred, as if it was raining heavily, and he could hardly see the path under his feet. She touched her eyes subconsciously, but she felt the salty tears of her hands.

It turned out that it was not the world that rained, but her eyes.

The road was unimpeded, and there was no guard to stop her. She staggered to the shore, standing with her back to the lake pavilion for a long time, and finally couldn’t help but glance back at Xiao Huan. With just this eye, tears are like a bank burst, and heartache is like a knife.

He still sat there alone, as if frozen into a stone statue.

Liang Yourong didn’t know how he came to the alley. There was no so-called carriage in the alley. There was only a claret red horse, with two heavy bulging packages on the horse’s back. There were swords, clothing, and It’s soft, with a list of officials from various states and capitals and passes, and even an umbrella and a cloak to protect you from the wind…

What Xiao Huan said, “Everything is there,” actually meant this.

He prepared everything for her, willing to let her go far and high.

Liang Yourong leaned at the entrance of the alley, opening his mouth and breathing heavily, like a fish in Chenze. She covered her eyes with her hands, her strength was so strong that the knuckles of the back of her hand turned white, but she still couldn’t stop the tears from overflowing, and she wetted her clothes…

It turns out that he knows everything, he knows everything.

“Is your majesty scared?”

“Don’t be afraid, from now on, the concubines will protect your majesty.”

“The concubines will become your majesty’s sword, cutting through thorns and thorns for your majesty.”

The deep love and the shallow, after all, it is good fortune to make people. The freedom she longed for, once obtained, was unexpectedly more painful than piercing the heart… So, is this the price of freedom?

“Sister Rong, it hurts…”

By the Crescent Lake, deep in the lotus root, Xiao Huan was clutching a fishing rod. The thin figure of the young man almost curled up into a ball. He clutched his chest and cried and said, “Here…it hurts!”

However, no one responded to him again.

“Come here!” Xiao Huan wiped away tears fiercely, with a look of panic, like a child who has lost his beloved treasure. He stood up blankly and hurriedly, and shouted to the guard in the distance, “Please come back, the queen!”

The guards immediately took their orders. Just about to act, they saw Xiao Huan pacing back and forth two steps, and changed his words: “Hold on, come back!”

His eyes were red and swollen, his clenched fists trembled violently, and finally he waved his hand weakly and said, “Forget it, forget it…”

“When I catch a fish, we will return to the palace.”

He would never catch this fish, and the line under the float was empty without hooks.

The young emperor just kept an empty fishing line that would never be hooked, and sat alone in the lake pavilion all day.

His sister Rong never came back.

…

In the Bi Palace, Xiao Changning was sleeping dimly. When he heard the movement and awakened, he saw the candlelight swaying and the night was deep. There was a person sitting on the couch, full of blood, naked and applying medicine there.

“Shen Yin…” Xiao Changning immediately became sober, got up and grabbed his arm and said, “What’s the matter, you are injured?”

There were several slender bloodstains on Shen Xuan’s arms and shoulders, the wounds were deeper than last time, with fine blood oozing out. At this time, he retracted his clothes to his waist, his upper body was slouched, showing well-proportioned bulging muscles, and he was twisting his neck to apply the medicine laboriously. The powder should not be poured onto his wound like silver, and it hurts.

Seeing Xiao Changning awakened, his frowning brows loosened. He put down the medicine bottle and kissed her forehead for the time being, and whispered, “Wake you up?”

“Don’t worry about this palace, what’s the matter with your injury!” Xiao Changning stretched out his fingers to touch his wound, but was afraid of hurting him, curled his bare hands into fists in mid-air, raised his eyes and said angrily, “You promised. My palace must be careful, how come the injury is more serious than last time?”

Although it is angry, but the distress in the eyes is more.

“I rushed to see you as soon as I packed up. I really want you to panic.”

“Don’t divert the subject.”

Xiao Changning felt distressed, his eyes turned red, and he turned his head and said, “Sit still, I’ll give you medicine.”

Xiao Changning’s technique was jerky, and it took a lot of time to apply the medicine and bandages, but Shen Xuan was not impatient. She stared at her deeply, and from time to time she drew close to the corner of her lips and kissed her.

Xiao Changning was so troubled by him that he tied a knot on the bandage forcefully, hiding from him in a muffled voice: “Don’t make trouble, my palace is angry!”

Shen Xuan grabbed her waist and smiled, “Why are you angry?”

“If you don’t take good care of yourself, I feel sorry for you.” After a pause, she added, “I don’t care about you anymore.”

She said ignoring her mouth, but Shuiling’s eyes stared at him unblinkingly, as if she would cry at any time. Shen Xuan pecked on her lips, and immediately brought a small-necked vase with a few prosperously blooming rose flowers in the vase, and handed it to Xiao Changning, “Send it to your majesty, calm down. “

He is still naked and attractive in stature, with plain white bandages wrapped around his arms and shoulders. The whole person is vigorous and sharp. The eyes that look at her while holding flowers are very gentle and moving. .

Xiao Changning forgot for a while that he was angry, took the vase and sniffed, and asked, “Where did it come from?”

“I saw it by the side of the road, I thought you would like it, so I picked it.” Shen Xuan asked her to sniff her neck, and deliberately lowered her voice: “Let me smell it.”

How could Xiao Changning allow him to fool around? Seeing that Shen Xuan’s eyes were tired, she presumably hadn’t slept all night, so she put him on the couch and said, “Don’t make trouble, you sleep for a while, your eyes are all red.”

It was true that Shen Xuan stayed up all night, so she lay down on the couch after hearing this, with one hand resting on the back of her head and looking at her: “Then, wake me up after dawn.”

“Okay, go to sleep.” Xiao Changning nodded, placed the vase on the most conspicuous table on the bed, and reached out to touch some soft and fragrant petals.

Shen Xuan looked at her for a moment, then closed her eyes peacefully.

The sun rose and the moon fell, and the sky was bright, and Shen Xuan did not wake up.

He has a fever, and his whole body is hot like a stove.
