The carriage quickly returned to Prince An's Mansion. As soon as it stopped in front of the mansion, Wu Zechen in the carriage suddenly leaned forward and approached Xia Luotong. The sudden enlargement of his handsome face made Xia Luotong subconsciously take a defensive stance.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a slight frown on her eyebrows.
Wu Zechen paused his hand movements, and did not rush to get closer, but explained: "Acting naturally requires a complete performance. In addition to Shaoguang Pavilion, there are informants from various forces everywhere in this palace. If you get out of the car and walk on your own, If we walk back to Shaoguang Pavilion, then our play just now will be in vain."
Xia Luotong was stunned after hearing this, and thought that it was indeed the case. The cold-faced prince had said before that in this huge palace, only Shaoguang Pavilion was an absolutely safe place. It was filled with his own subordinates and servants. Spies outside.
Since this was the reason, she naturally didn't say anything. She nodded and put down her defensive hands. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still let him lean forward and hug her sideways.
The warm breath brushed her cheek, and she froze slightly uncomfortably. After steadying her breath and adjusting her mood, she relaxed her body, closed her eyes and leaned against his chest. The sound of strong heartbeat could be heard through her body. Come and make her feel inexplicably at ease.
This moment was different from when she was at Xia Mansion Waterside Pavilion. At that time, she had already pretended to be unconscious and fell to the ground. In addition, there were many guests at the scene, and she was too preoccupied with acting to take care of him, so she let him pick her up. I didn’t feel much, but it was different now. In this private space, he took the initiative and she volunteered...
But what Xia Luotong didn't know was that Wu Zechen's heart was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.
Seeing the person in front of him taking off his guard, obediently letting himself pick him up, and then leaning softly in his arms, that feeling... Wu Zechen couldn't put it into words, but he clearly confirmed that he didn't feel like it at all. Reject contact with her!
Not only when he left Xia Mansion just now, but also now, not only did his body not reject it, but he didn't even feel the slightest resistance in his heart!
This seemed incredible and abnormal to him!
Although he doesn't hate women very much, he really doesn't like women to be too close to him, so let alone physical contact. Even when he was on good terms with Liu Yingxue before, he never had any physical contact with her. The contact with me is just to be able to stand next to myself!
But now I am holding the person in my arms...
There was a trace of doubt in Wu Zechen's originally calm eyes, but it was obviously not suitable to think about these issues at this time. After hugging her tightly, he got out of the carriage, and then he hugged her directly and rushed towards Shaoguang Pavilion without any hesitation. people.
His move obviously shocked everyone, except for Zhuxuan and Lindong who were serving him personally, as well as the guards who were accompanying him during the trip to Xia Mansion just now. At this time, wherever he passed, all the servants and the guards patrolling the palace were... Showing shock!
What did they see? !
Their prince, who had never been a womanizer, actually held a woman in his arms and walked openly in the palace!
The rules of the palace required them to salute and say hello, but after Prince An passed by, everyone couldn't help but gather together and whisper.
"Oh my god! Is that really our prince? Did I see it wrong? He actually came back with a woman in his arms!?"
"It seems to me that the person in the prince's arms is our unpopular princess?"
"No matter who she is, the most incredible thing is that the prince would actually hold a woman, okay!"
"I think it's the most incredible thing to hold that princess and walk around openly, okay? That one has been like a joke since she entered the palace. Is it possible that she is about to turn over?"
"I don't think so. Isn't today the day when the prince will accompany the princess back to Xia Mansion for a wedding visit? Why did the princess look strange just now?"
"What you said is really...eh! Look, it's Dr. Xu!"
"Why is he in such a hurry? Could it be that some master is in the way?"
All the people in the palace were talking among themselves when suddenly they saw Mr. Xu carrying a medicine box on his back and hurriedly coming in from outside, chasing the direction Wu Zechen had left just now.
Mr. Xu mostly stayed at Baicao Hall for consultation during the day, and only returned home at night to live in Shaoguang Pavilion to rest.
"Dr. Xu comes back at this time and looks so anxious. Something must have happened!"
"Speaking of which, when the prince passed by just now, he didn't look very good."
"Ah! Do you think something happened to the princess? The princess was carried back by the prince just now. I took a peek and the princess seemed to be asleep, but her face was so pale that it was scary to look at her!"
"When you say that, it's really possible!"
"But what could it be? Didn't the princess go back to her parents' home today to visit her relatives?"
... A group of servants gathered together in twos and threes and kept talking, but no one noticed that many of them retreated furtively and disappeared from everyone's sight, without knowing where they were going. .
After stepping into Shaoguang Pavilion, Wu Zechen did not stop there, but continued walking towards the main house.
However, just as he arrived at the door of the main house, he happened to meet a man coming out of it.
"Hi! Junior brother, why are you coming back..." The man was saying hello with a smile on his face, but after seeing the situation in front of him clearly, the words in his mouth were stuck. He suddenly lost his voice as if someone had strangled his neck, and his face was full of shock and astonishment. Looked at Wu Zechen.
Wu Zechen didn't seem to see him, he just passed him and entered the house with the person in his arms.
The man at the door who seemed to have been immobilized just now suddenly came back to his senses, with a feverish gossip on his face. He didn't even bother to say hello to Mr. Xu who was walking towards him not far away, and turned around to follow him. Entered the house.
As soon as he stepped into the house, the man saw that the woman who had been leaning quietly in Wu Zechen's arms was turning over neatly, landing on the ground in an extremely graceful manner, and then... stepped on the hem of her skirt...
"ah!"
Xia Luotong let out a soft cry and tilted her body to one side. She was about to fall when a huge force suddenly came from her waist. Her body was pulled back uncontrollably, and then she crashed into a gap. In the broad chest.
"Are you okay?"
The deep and mellow voice came from the top of her head, and the slight tremor in her chest seemed to be transmitted through the close skin, making her feel that her heart was trembling a few times.
The temperature of the palms on his waist seemed to be burning, and the tip of his nose was filled with a faint familiar yet unfamiliar scent.
Wrapped in this breath, she felt her cheeks feel a little warm for some reason. She quickly twisted her body and took two steps back: "It's okay, thank you."
