Xiao Yichen's eyes were as bright and hot as a candle, so hot that it almost burned the fire beside him.
Wei Xi was startled for a moment, then quickly realized, "Sir, I'd rather go get another one now. You can't make the fifth girl so thirsty."
As she spoke, she held the jade lamp in her hand and stepped back, closing the door wisely.
As soon as the lock was clicked, there was a crisp sound, which exploded in Shen Nanbao's mind like a thunderclap. She stood up in panic, "Just go out, why do you close the door?"
There was a gust of wind blowing behind her, and the approaching sound of rustling pinched her heart. Turning around, he stood in front of her, his body as tall as a mountain facing the light, giving off a sense of prosperity.
The fragrance on his body brought back memories of the past. Shen Nanbao was at a loss for what to do and hung his head in a hurry to choose another way around.
But he stepped forward and cut off the road.
Shen Nanbao raised his eyes in shock, "Commander of the Palace..."
He responded with a 'hmm', and then he pressed his body down quickly, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger, shooting straight to the tip of his nose, squeezing out all the air in his internal organs.
Shen Nanbao felt like he couldn't breathe, "Commander, you are too close."
Xiao Yichen turned a deaf ear and lowered his head to look at her.
He had a pair of impeccable black eyelashes, thick and long, intertwined with reality and reality. Anyone who fell into these eyes was like prey falling into a net.
Shen Nanbao was trapped in this net and could not escape. He looked at him nervously, looking at his face that was getting closer and closer. The mouth on his face curled up into a fierce and determined smile.
"Shen Nanbao, you like me!"
The sudden name-calling was like a sharp blade, piercing Shen Nanbao's heart hard, making her shocked and suffocated, and her teeth almost bit her tongue, "You, please be nice, why are you talking about this. "
He saw her panic in his eyes and smiled confidently, "I can say whatever I want, don't avoid my words."
Shen Nan Baose rubbed his teeth with anger, "Why do you ask, I will answer."
Xiao Yichen squinted his eyes, and there was a strong warning in that ray of light. With his buried head and enlarged facial features, he combined a scene that made Shen Nanbao frightened.
She couldn't help but swallow, but he said quickly: "Aren't you always sharp-tongued? You don't dare to answer this question?"
The face of fine porcelain had a firm edge, so sharp that it could make her choke.
But after all, she was a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, and she quickly broke free from the dazed whirlpool. She looked up and smiled at him, "The Commander-in-Chief is joking, I just think there is nothing to say about this matter. I have said it before. Don’t you understand after so many times? Besides, in these two times, I have to rely on the help of the palace commander, right?”
She had a dexterous tongue, and the words she spoke at will were filled with venom, burning his internal organs.
He didn't understand, and he didn't understand. His mind was filled with countless whys, why she insisted on denying it even though she clearly liked her, why she wanted to keep the distance between them, and why she let this love be covered with window paper.
Is it because of Gu Xiaoniang’s death?
Or are you afraid that he will betray her?
He pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on her face like a nail, trying to see through her porcelain face her oblique heart.
Unfortunately, not possible.
She disguised it so well, every strand of her hair was filled with humble pleading, and there was no joy at all, as if her taste just now was just an illusion fabricated by him because of his unrequited love.
Xiao Yichen closed his eyes deeply, and it took a lot of effort to hold back from pulling her up by the collar and questioning her fiercely.
Turning around, her fingers clacked, she was behind her, her voice was as light as the wind, "Master, how long do I have to wait?"
The cauldron burning quietly in front of him illuminated his face one after another, as if dispelling the gloomy decadence in his heart, so he was silent for a long time, then turned around, stretched his eyebrows and said: "Kaifeng Mansion has concluded the case. , Judgment of cases pays attention to the principle of 'preventing the situation and controlling the situation'. Even if you use my name to ask someone to come out, you have to go through the eyes of the jailer and recruiter before you can release him. "
These words touched Shen Nanbao's heart, and she smiled happily, "Since it takes so long, why do you want me to sit and wait? If you stand like this, your legs will break."
She's used to being tricked like this.
Lure others into her comfort zone step by step.
Enclose yourself in a secret corner where you cannot see the light of day.
No one can disturb her.
No one can cut her heart out...
Xiao Yichen licked the corner of his mouth very slowly, with an impeccable look, but then twirled his toes away from her.
The sudden fragrance brought about a sudden enlightenment in his eyes. It should be a blessing to survive the disaster, but Shen Nanbao felt that something was falling in his heart, and his mind was empty.
Fortunately, she was very good at pretending, and with a cold face, she walked past him and walked to the armchair where Fang Fang was sitting. She was about to throw her puddle of meat on it, but he was very close behind. He spoke with relief.
"Fifth girl, no matter how bad Xiao's methods are, I can still fish people out for such a trivial matter."
The plain words made her feel helpless, and she hurriedly pursed her lips and said: "Commander, you are worrying too much, I am just worried..."
In fact, there is nothing to worry about.
From her words and deeds just now, wasn't she already sure that her grandparents were in his hands?
Otherwise, the official said that he was tied up in the palace due to official illness, but here he is sitting firmly in the commander's palace?
There was also the purpose of Kaifeng Mansion. Why did she have to ask before he said such heart-wrenching words.
Not to mention the occasional panic he showed when she begged him.
So she is not worried, she is feeling lost. What is she losing?
Perhaps it was in such a cramped situation just now that the string of tenacity in her heart was plucked, causing her to feel that impulse again.
That's it.
Just follow your own will.
Isn't life just a big gamble?
Why should you put yourself in trouble because of those things and people's harsh criticism in the past? Live prudently and temperately, and live according to the golden rule.
He also made him, who was always quick to go straight in and out, follow his lead, and did so many roundabout ways to force her to accept his kindness.
However, she finally mustered up the courage to run with him, but he stopped in an instant, as if his feelings for her were not as deep as she first thought, so he gave up easily.
Just like going from 'Shen Nanbao' to 'Fifth Girl', such a familiar and distant title is only a short breath of time.
She thought sadly, lost in thought, completely ignoring the people behind her looking up and down.
Like a very patient adult, Xiao Yichen slowly led her to continue, "Miss Wu, I know you respect them very much and are worried that if they stay in prison for a while longer, they will be in more danger, but what can I say? I have already promised to take good care of them for you, so naturally I will not break my promise, after all, a man keeps his word, right?"
As he spoke, he walked up to her. As the light and shadow filtered in through the window lattice, his smile suddenly seemed as bright as a spring day, and sometimes as dark as a winter day. "What's more, Miss Fifth, you are still the person I want to 'share weal and woe' with." .”
We share weal and woe.
Such tender words, but when spoken, they were so cruel that they would send you to the eighteenth level of hell.
It turns out that everything he did was to use her? Let her be his spy with all her heart?
Shen Nanbao said, "The palace commander is getting better and better at joking. How can I, a little concubine, be worthy of you?"
Xiao Yichen did not comment, put his hands behind his hands, and walked up and down in the light waterfall in that small area, with a splendid shawl on his shoulders, "Don't say that Fifth Miss, you are a concubine, you are a servant, as long as I say yes, I say you are worthy, Who dares to comment?"
The sight of their unfinished faces and the touching of their fingertips flashed through her mind, and the sourness that had just been suppressed surged up again, causing Shen Nanbao's throat to panic. She snorted and sneered, "No, Prince Commander. This is the dignified commander-in-chief of the palace. Who do you like and whom do you want? There are a hundred and eighty bedrooms in the room, but no one dares to say a word outside!"
Xiao Yichen exclaimed and said that was absolutely right, "Fifth girl still understands me."
Shen Nanbao's words were soft and slow, and Shen Nanbao added fuel to the fire, stirred up the cold water, and exploded with thousands of feet of fire. She finally felt that she was disgusted, jealous, and began to feel pain in her heart, wanting to The prodigal son who accused him had lost his mind.
He coaxed her, making her fall in love with him step by step. She liked him to the core, then turned her head and said lightly, it was just for fun, it was the same for everyone.
It turns out that he doesn’t take feelings seriously. It turns out that he is such a person. He is actually such a person!
While he was saying that he liked himself, he was also making love to other little ladies in front of her!
She was so angry that her heart ached, and her lungs seemed to be filled with broken bronze mirror slag. A random shake could scratch the wounds that were riddled with holes, strangling her until it hurt to breathe!
She was furious, but she still had to pretend, otherwise she would lose her heart and face, and she would really have nothing.
But that was the plan, but the words he blurted out were not so appropriate, "The palace commander Muzan, in the early years, I went to those Zhangtai areas with my grandparents, and I was lucky enough to see how those young men hugged each other. So now I am self-taught without a teacher, and I can make the commander-in-chief’s mood clear!”
Xiao Yichen was very magnanimous and did not show any anger when he heard the sour words that penetrated his intestines. He just nodded and said: "I blame me for forgetting. Fifth Miss, you have experienced something like this before."
As long as he tried hard, how could he not remember her past?
Sure enough, he was so close to her just because she was Shen Shi's daughter-in-law, and he wanted to avenge his father.
As for any kind of joy, it is all vain and heartless.
He had never liked her.
Shen Nanbao suddenly felt discouraged, and he didn't even have the strength to refute. He lowered his eyelashes lonelyly, but he suddenly walked over quickly, grabbed her shoulders, and his eyes hooked her heart into her throat.
"Do you like me or not! Shen Nanbao, you just like me!"
"No, no! I don't like you!"
The high and sharp voice, with the overwhelming panic, stunned Shen Nanbao before he even got off the ground.
