Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 9
Shen Xuan walked slowly, the **** dog followed behind him every step of the way, and the two faint green beast pupils reflected dangerous rays of light in the sunlight.
Xiao Changning put his hands behind him, his five fingers in his sleeves tightly gripped the medicine bottle, almost crushing the thin porcelain bottle. In late autumn, she was shocked in a cold sweat.
“Chen Xuan Chen, see your Majesty.” Because Shen Xuan was older than Xiao Huan and was also the admiral of the Dongchang admiral who was ordered to assist the government, she did not give a big gift, but just bent her knees and clasped her fists. After getting Xiao Huan’s permission, Shen Xuan got up again, her unfathomable gaze fell on Xiao Changning, and she nodded slightly, “His Royal Highness.”
This is considered a greeting, polite and unfamiliar.
Xiao Changning’s palms sweated, and he squatted, “Should you go to the palace without telling you how to enter the palace…”
Shen Xuan straightened up, her tall body enveloped Xiao Changning, still feeling so oppressive. He said, “Official business passing by here, take the eldest princess back home. Why bother your Majesty and Your Highness with such a trivial matter?”
“Since I entered the palace, why, why do I still bring a fierce dog? If this is to be seen by the Qing family of Yushitai, the admiral will be impeached again.” Xiao Huan was born afraid of dogs and looked at him tremblingly. The squatting black dog said it was unsatisfactory.
Shen Xuan raised her eyes slightly, her long eyebrows under her black veiled round hat, and her eyebrows were even more striking.
As soon as the voice fell, the black dog suddenly barked, and his green eyes locked on Xiao Changning’s body without blinking.
Xiao Changning had a guilty conscience and couldn’t help taking a step back. The black dog also slowly stood up and approached Xiao Changning.
It walked around Xiao Changning in a circle, sniffing lightly on her cuffs with its sensitive nose, and then found something like a bark at her, barring white teeth.
Xiao Changning couldn’t help shaking.
Xiao Huan also understood that the drug possession might be about to happen, and he couldn’t help being very anxious, trying to distract Shen Xuan’s attention, “Shen Aiqing, I’m afraid of dogs, you, you take it away soon!”
Shen Xuan furrowed her eyebrows, then loosened them quickly. With a calm and relaxed appearance, he raised his brows slightly and said, “Your Majesty, this dog minister has been tamed for more than three years. He is extremely human and generally doesn’t bark easily.” He said, his tone of voice changed suddenly, and his eyes changed suddenly. Be fierce, “Unless, what suspicious person or dangerous thing was found… For example, poison?”
Xiao Changning was so frightened! I want to pull my leg and run away, but my legs are like lead, I can’t move a bit.
Looking at Xiao Huan again, he was also in a trance, only his face was forced to be calm.
Shen Xuan patted the black dog on the head as if soothingly, and signaled it to stay calm. He gently curled his lips and looked at his little wife with interest, “What is hidden in the body of the eldest princess?”
Xiao Changning bit his lip, and there was nowhere to hide the medicine bottle in his hand. As long as Shen Xuan pulls out her hand forcibly, then there will be nowhere to hide the secrets of her and the Queen Mother!
Although she agreed that the Queen Mother was just a stopgap measure, and was not really stupid enough to be led by the nose by the Queen Mother, but before she had time to deal with the bottle of poison, she was pretended to be upright by Shen Xuan… People from Dongchang would rather kill one by mistake. Qian did not let go of one, and might not give her a chance to defend. Now, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn’t clean it!
This was a moment of life and death, and Xiao Changning’s mind was blank.
While hesitating whether to confess and be lenient, Shen Xuan suddenly stretched out a hand and leaned towards Xiao Changning’s right hand behind her back…
That’s it!
Xiao Changning closed his eyes and said hurriedly: “It’s not like this! I don’t have one in this palace!”
“Why is the princess so nervous?” Shen Xuan gave a low smile.
He approached her, his broad chest almost touching her body.
Xiao Changning suffocated his breath, but Shen Xuan stretched out her long arms and gently twisted away a fallen leaf that was stuck to her sleeve. “The minister just wanted to take away a dead leaf hidden in the cuffs of His Royal Highness.”
Shen Xuan stepped back a bit, pinching the golden ginkgo leaf between her index finger and thumb, applying a slight force on her fingertips, and the dead leaves were turned into dust and scattered and drifted away in the wind.
His eyes were sharp and deep, with a cool smile, as if he knew everything, and he didn’t know anything.
Xiao Changning suddenly wanted to cry, but for some reason, he just wanted to cry. In order to get rid of the shackles of the Queen Mother, she chose Shen Xuan, but unexpectedly she met her opponents and survived!
After the extreme shock, Xiao Changning still hadn’t recovered, and his tight jaw trembled slightly.
One is strong and the other is soft, and the atmosphere is a bit weird. The little emperor opened his mouth several times to try to break the deadlock, but failed. After a while, Shen Xuan faintly tilted her head and cast her gaze on the dreadful **** dog.
The black dog silently raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Xuan, feeling the murderous instinct, and instinctively wanted to escape, but was held down by Shen Xuan, and patted his dog’s head gently, bringing the’villain first complaint’ into full play. Extremely, said: “It’s all to blame this beast for shocking Her Royal Highness the princess.”
The black dog who had been condemned for no reason gave an aggrieved ‘whoop’ and lay his head down on the ground.
Tears flowed into Xiao Changning’s heart: Although this evil animal is terrible, it is obviously you, Admiral Shen, who is more terrifying than it!
But in this way, the sense of oppression that had just been on the line of life and death has completely disappeared.
Seeing Xiao Changning’s expression slightly stunned, Shen Xuan said, “It’s getting late, and I would like to ask the princess to return home with her minister.”
How dare Xiao Changning refuse?
She sniffed, turned around and hugged the little emperor, and said in a low voice: “My palace is gone, the emperor will take care of herself, and she should be diligent in government affairs and should not waste her studies.”
Xiao Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted quickly, and took the hand of his sister, “I understand, Sister, don’t worry.”
Xiao Changning nodded, and then reluctantly let go of the little emperor, and followed Shen Xuan with one step at a time. The **** dog followed the couple lonely. The two of them reflected the autumn scenery of the palace, half cold and half rich, and their backs matched very harmoniously.
After they left, Xiao Huan opened his palm with a complicated expression, and saw a small sapphire medicine bottle lying in his palm. Just taking advantage of the farewell hug, Xiao Changning calmly stuffed this medicine into the little emperor’s hand, which was the one given to her by the Queen Mother.
Such actions are enough to show Xiao Changning’s attitude.
The autumn wind was bleak, Xiao Huan threw the medicine bottle into the lotus root pond, staring at the ripples on the water surface and sighed: “I hope Sister, I can hold on for a few more days.”
On the carriage back to the East Factory, Xiao Changning remained silent all the way, turning his head and looking out the window.
Outside the palace gate is always quiet, there are no pedestrians, only guards and palace attendants on duty may pass by.
The carriage swayed, shaking Xiao Changning’s thoughts to pieces. Shen Xuan sat on her knees beside her, even in the slightly jolted carriage, he still had his back straight, sitting as firm as a mountain.
When passing by Donghua Gate, the carriage and a team of Jin Yiwei on duty passed by. Xiao Changning lived in the palace for a long time. He had heard that Jin Yiwei was awe-inspiring, and all of them were outstanding men. He couldn’t help but glanced at them more. Who knew that the young leader who inadvertently swept his gaze to the front, recognized him as an acquaintance.
Nanzhen Fusi Fushi, Yu Yunqing.
“What is the princess looking at?” Shen Xuan broke the silence aloud, followed her gaze and looked out of the car, and then said clearly, “Oh,” said: “It turned out to be Yu Fu from Nanzhen Fusi Make.”
The sound is not friendly.
Xiao Changning was aware of the current affairs and put down the car curtain, cut off the line of sight, sat upright, and tried to dress up as a good housewife who did not squint.
But Shen Xuan obviously didn’t want to let this topic go. She only folded her two long legs and put her hands on her temples, and looked at her with a smile but a smile: “I heard that Yu Fuzhi had made a marriage with His Royal Highness the princess?”
The author has something to say: there is one more later, okay~
Admiral Shen has a small ledger, which he can turn out to calculate at any time.
