Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 72

After washing the Bi palace, Xiao Changning ordered someone to pass the new prescription and two bottles of externally applied plasters to Yue Yao, saying: “According to the prescription, go to the Taiyuan Hospital to grab the medicine, take two doses of decoction a day, apply externally three times a day, and urinate within seven days. It can be cured, the more elder sister can rest assured.”

Yue Yao picked up the prescription and looked at it, then looked at Xiao Changning, with a complex expression: “His Royal Highness is sure that Master Wen’s poison… won’t be fatal?”

“If Chief Wu said no, that would be no.” Seeing that Yue Yao’s expression was a little weird, Xiao Changning asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you, Sister Yue?”

Yue Yao said: “The minister thought that Master Wen was killed soon, and only agreed to him yesterday…”

She stopped the topic suddenly, and Xiao Changning curiously asked, “What did you promise him?”

“Just…oh, it’s nothing.” Yue Yao waved her hand and folded the prescription into her arms. “It is fortunate to have no life worry. As for the rest, wait for Master Wen to finish.”

Xiao Changning squinted his eyes, ‘Oh’, and said with a smirk in a stretched tone: “Wen Lingyin is not relative to you, why is Sister Yue so caring about him?”

Yueyao choked and looked around with a dry cough: “He is pitiful, his family is guarding the south, leaving him alone in the capital, and no one will take care of him if he is injured.”

“There are too many poor people in the world, and I don’t see anyone you care about.” Xiao Changning hit the nail on the head.

Yue Yao stopped talking, just laughed.

There was a low cough behind the inner screen, Xiao Changning hurriedly raised his ears, got up and looked behind the screen and said, “Chen Xuan, are you awake?” Then he said to Yue Yao, “It’s time to give Shen Xuan medicine. I won’t entertain Yue Sister, just please.”

Yue Yao felt that she was caught off guard and took a big mouthful of sugar. She panicked and shook the goosebumps all over her body and said: “Your Royal Highness is busy, the minister is going to grab the medicine, and come to see your Royal Highness for fun next time.”

Xiao Changning nodded, and saw a pair of powerful arms spread out on one side of the screen, which hugged Xiao Changning in. The bead curtain swayed, covering the warm and charming room.

Xiao Changning was thrown onto the soft bed with Shen Xuan’s arms around, and hurriedly twisted and propped up and said: “You slow down, be careful of the wound!”

As expected, Shen Xuan snorted lowly.

Xiao Changning immediately became nervous and hurriedly got up and said, “Are you okay? Where does it hurt?”

“Distressed.” Shen Xuan leaned to her ear and said nonsense seriously, “You have been talking to Yue Yao and left me in the cold.”

“My palace is just talking about a cup of tea with Yueyao, this can also be called’cold out’ you?” Xiao Changning was simply funny, poked Shen Xu’s grim eyebrows and said, “The sky was not afraid and not afraid at the beginning. , Where is the frightening Admiral Shen?”

Shen Xuan narrowed her eyebrows and smiled, her hot lips sucked along her white neck.

Xiao Changning’s cheeks were flushed by him. He glared at him and said, “Don’t move, I’ll change your dressing.”

Shen Xuan kissed her piecemeal, and said dumbly: “You change.”

“You are like this… Um!” Xiao Changning covered his mouth to prevent him from kissing, annoyed, “How do you change your house like this? Lie down quickly.”

Shen Xuan slowly licked her lower lip, and her deep eyes looked at her without blinking. After a while she barely lay back on the couch, bent one leg, and put her arm on her knees so that Xiao Changning could replace it. bandage.

He still has repeated low-grade fevers and his skin is slightly hot, but the small wounds on his body have begun to heal with scabs, and he no longer bleeds, which should be a good sign.

In order to heal his wounds these days, Shen Xuan did not return to the East Factory. She spent five or six days in Xibi Palace, and she really recovered as before, and she is the vigorous Admiral Shen as before.

After another half a month, Xiao Wanan, who had been collaborating with the enemy, was arrested, and the two assassins who had absconded in the city were also chased back. The capital was restored to the long-lost peace. Xiao Changning was unwilling to live apart from Shen Xuan, so he packed up his things and said goodbye to Xiao Huan. He planned to move back from Xibi Palace to Dongchang on the grounds of ‘the East Factory is stable and there is no need to stay in the palace.’

But Yueyao’s life was not so easy.

After Wen Lingyin’s injury healed, she was more clingy than before, and she began to ask Yue Yao for her promise to him when she was seriously ill.

“As long as you get better soon, I am willing to do anything with you.”

Seeing Wen Lingyin’s weakness at first, Yue Yao was worried that he would die, so she wanted to give Wen Lingyin a reason to continue. She was indeed ready to try with him, but the moment Wen Lingyin took her hand, she was a little dazed and embarrassed again.

That feeling was too unfamiliar, interlacing with a man’s fingers, it was more shocking than the joking kiss she had originally.

She lost her father and brother when she was young. She became the pillar of the family at the age of twelve or thirteen. She joined the Jinyiwei at the age of sixteen. She had already lost her daughter’s tenderness and spent so many years like a man. She is accustomed to controlling and teasing others, and she is as careless as a man in terms of feelings. It is the first time she has been counter-controlled and teased… it feels very strange.

Wen Lingyin also felt her stiffness, frowned, looked at her for a long time and asked, “You don’t want it?”

Yue Yao looked at the palms between the two of them, rubbing the tips of their noses a little nervously, haha ​​dryly said with a smile: “I don’t feel comfortable with this.”

“But when I was in the band, when I was poisoned, you…” Wen Lingyin wanted to say,’You all kissed me,’ and then changed his mind. This expression didn’t seem to be vigorous enough, and his Adam’s apple rolled around and said, “You I’ve done everything more intimate with me.”

Yue Yao subconsciously retorted: “That’s different.”

Wen Lingyin tightened his five fingers and asked, “How is it different?”

Yueyao opened her mouth. She wanted to explain that the first time we kissed him was because of desperation, and the second time I was afraid that he would die like that… However, it’s useless to talk about it now. The boastful words were released by her. With Wen Lingyin slowly.

Moreover, although she is a little uncomfortable, she does not hate Wen Lingyin’s closeness.

But Wen Lingyin didn’t know what she was thinking in her mind. In the early summer cicadas, Xia Lu was thick and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

Feeling the low air pressure, Yue Yao’s palms were a little sweaty, trying to divert the subject, “Look, Master Wen, we are all colleagues, is it appropriate to go out holding hands like this?”

She showed a sign-like smile, her brows crooked, but Wen Lingyin was not as good as usual. He frowned and looked at Yue Yao for a while, then let go of the hand holding Yue Yao.

The strength and temperature of her palms suddenly left, Yue Yao was taken aback for a moment, her five fingers curled up subconsciously, as if she was holding something.

Yue Yao felt that Wen Lingyin seemed to be angry.

Wen Lingyin turned around and walked out of the backyard wing and strode towards the gate of Fusi in Beizhen. Yue Yao immediately followed, and asked a little nervously: “The sun is so big, where are you going, Master Wen?”

Wen Lingyin’s expression remained unchanged, but his tone was a little cold and low: “Visit the city.”

“There are subordinates who work in the city, what are you going to do?”

Seeing Wen Lingyin not speaking, Yue Yao pulled down his wrist anxiously and asked, “Master Wen, are you angry?”

Wen Lingyin said coldly, “No.”

Is this still called? It almost reads “I’m angry, coax me” on his face.

Fortunately, Yue Yao had a thick-skinned face and smiled shyly: “The dossier of the Beidi Assassin’s interrogation by the East Factory was sent to Beizhen Fusi. You are about to find Master Wen, and you will sign and send it to the emperor. When it’s all here, don’t go out to patrol the city. First, you’ll have to review and complete Beizhen Fusi’s tolerance, and then I will invite you to have a drink, okay?”

Wen Lingyin said stiffly: “Not good.”

“…”

Yue Yao’s heart shook, and she took the initiative to hand out the palm of her hand, and clasped Wen Lingyin’s slender five fingers and said, “Okay, you can pull it with a small hand. It won’t hurt to pull it all day. Don’t get angry, okay?”

Wen Lingyin broke free of her hand, put her hand behind her, rubbed her fingertips.

It was really cold when he didn’t speak, and his whole body was cold. Yue Yao glanced at him, then at her empty palm, and sighed, “Oh, why are you doing this?”

“Is it that I’m not good enough?” Wen Lingyin suddenly said, with pale eyes looking into her heart, “The more caressed you feel, is it a very uncomfortable thing to deal with me intimately?”

Yue Yao hurriedly said, “No, why did Master Wen say that? You are fine, and it doesn’t make me uncomfortable, just…”

“It’s just that I don’t like me enough.” Wen Lingyin said calmly, “You promised me that you would do anything with me, but you were just coaxing me to lie to me, right?”

“I…” Yue Yao instinctively wanted to say something was wrong, but she didn’t know what was wrong.

The moment of her hesitation did not escape Wen Lingyin’s eyes.

Wen Lingyin’s eyes sank, his lips opened, and then closed again, and finally could only leave in silence.

“Master Wen!” Yue Yao wanted to chase, but was stopped by Wen Lingyin, “Don’t chase over. Before Yue Fuzhi thinks about her own mind, we still don’t want to meet if it’s not official business.”

Yue Yao suffocated, and asked aggrievedly, “What does Master Wen mean?” Then he said, “I know it’s wrong!”

“No, you don’t know.” After speaking, Wen Lingyin took a deep look at her before striding out the door, stepping on the horse and walking away.

…

“He was so angry for more than half a month, and the minister changed his way to find an excuse to see him. He always looks like an official business. Apart from official business, a superfluous word will not be said by the minister.”

In Xibi Palace, Yue Yao was sluggishly organizing bags for Xiao Changning. Today, Xiao Changning decided to move back to the Dongchang factory. Yue Yao was bored around, so she came to see her off.

Xiao Changning’s belly is already pregnant. She is wearing loose and breathable Xia Chang sitting on the cool couch to cool off, smiling at Yue Yao and saying, “Anyway, if you don’t have him in your heart, what does his life have to do with you? Worth you It’s awkward, come here to spit out bitter water?”

Yue Yao handed the packed package to Dong Sui, angrily: “Who said that the minister didn’t have him in his heart?”

“Oh? Then why not let him get close to you?”

“It’s just that I haven’t gotten used to it! All these years, the minister treats himself as a man. Now suddenly another handsome prince breaks into the minister’s world. Can’t he allow the minister to adapt?”

Xiao Changning laughed and said, “Isn’t he giving you time to think clearly and adapt?”

“This kind of cold’adaptation’, the minister would rather not.” Yue Yao lay on the table with a headache, and said in pain, “Good Majesty, what do you think I should do?”

Xiao Changning teased her half-truth: “They all said that if you get drunk and relieve your sorrow, you can get him drunk. If you do this or that, he will naturally forgive you!”

Yue Yao was silent for a moment, and asked, “His Royal Highness and Shen Xuan did this in the first place?”

“We? We are not.” Xiao Changning said proudly, “We can be frank, because you don’t have so many twists and turns.”

The more caressing who fell into a daze began to think about the feasibility of getting Wen Lingyin drunk.

Not long after, Lin Huan from the East Factory came to pick up Xiao Changning and returned home. Xiao Changning said goodbye to Yue Yao and went out to get into the car.

She was holding her belly more than five months pregnant and walking slowly. Before getting into the car, she ran into a few palace maids passing by.

With just a quick glance, the servants could still see her bulging abdomen clearly, and they all showed expressions of astonishment, and then bowed down to the ground, as if breaking through a huge secret, even their shoulders trembled.
