Snow was falling again outside, like wisps of catkins, falling between the sky and the earth. When the wind blew, it squeaked through the window and slipped into Shen Nanbao's arm cage, feeling a biting coldness on his wrists.
But her heart was hot, her chest was hot, and even her exposed face was hot.
It was hot because of him.
Hot with every breath he takes.
In this poorly lit, starry room, she silently felt his advances, inch by inch, like his arms tightening around her and suffocating her to death.
But he was still not satisfied and inserted his hands into her sleeves, firmly and without allowing any space, as if he wanted to sew them together with her.
He even gave a high-sounding excuse, "Let me see your injury and see if it's healed."
It's been half a month, and he's still thinking about it. No, he's still using this trivial thing as a token.
But.
As soon as the retort came out of his throat, he swept it back into his stomach with a flick of his tongue.
Shen Nanbao was in a mess, always feeling like something was about to open her chest and jump out.
It’s simply unbearable!
She was drowning in his heat!
At this moment, Shen Nanbao thought of "Yu Tang Chun".
"Ignore the embarrassment and hold it in my arms, let's reminisce about old feelings under the magic case."
There is no Buddha, no Bodhisattva here, and there is no blue sky above my head, but it is as if the bell in my heart has been struck, vibrating out a series of lingering sounds.
sound of a crash! sound of a crash! Killed all her desires.
She pushed him away and looked at him angrily.
"Did you see clearly? Are you okay?"
Xiao Yichen smacked his lips, with a very satisfied look on his face, but seeing how red her face was, he could only pout unwillingly, "You can see clearly, she is very flexible."
These words were ridiculed and provoked Shen Nanbao's heart like beating a drum. Waves of blood rushed to his face, making him dizzy and flushed.
She was tongue-tied, thinking that he was dirty, but when she thought of what she said, he was afraid that he would have to climb up the pole again, so she swallowed her throat and said, "I'm not serious, I have something to ask you. !”
She clearly saw the fire in Xiao Yichen's eyes, and the unhooded lamp, which jumped a few times and suddenly went out.
He said 'Oh' in annoyance, "You just want to ask about Shen Shi."
Shen Nanbao said: "Not only him, but also mother... Gu family, father told me that it was Gu family who collaborated with Shen Shi to sneak me out of the palace..."
When she mentioned 'daddy', she glanced at him intentionally.
With his sharp eyes, he easily caught her little movements, the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, and he stroked her crown with one hand, "He is him, and you are you."
In fact, just listen to this.
Everyone understands the principle of cutting off the water and making it flow again.
However, my heart felt a lot warmer because of these words.
When Xiao Yichen saw this, the smile lines at the corner of his mouth deepened a little, and then he said: "This thing sounds like nonsense, but there is no way, the officials want such a talk, so I sent such a talk. "
Shen Nanbao was stunned, and his heart seemed to collapse.
He saw the sudden change in her expression, frowned slightly, and cleared her throat with a slight cough.
"Actually, if you think about it, how is it possible! Why would Shen Shi want to steal you? He has been cowardly all his life. The only time he became strong-willed was when I came to visit and he falsely told you and I that we are brother and sister..."
Something caught in Shen Nanbao's throat, something gray and light, a tiny trace, "So it's not that Shen Shi and Mrs. Gu were in cahoots, it was Mrs. Gu who took me out of the palace at the behest of my mother and concubine."
In fact, she thought so in her heart, but Xiao Yichen said that she just wanted to seek confirmation.
Shen Nanbao was silent and then said: "I heard from Concubine Shu that my mother-in-law gave birth to me in the cold palace, and my mother-in-law was jealous of Concubine He's concubine and poisoned Concubine He to miscarry. This I just entered the cold palace. In fact, let alone the mother-in-law who was so favored back then, let’s talk about the fact that my mother-in-law made her unable to conceive for the rest of her life. It stands to reason that she would like to break her bones and ashes when she sees me, but she doesn’t treat me too little. It's just a slap in the face, it's not as good as what Shen Nanyi once put me through."
What Xiao Yichen cares about is, "Did she yell at you?"
He was angry for her like a hen protecting her young. Shen Nanbao couldn't help but curl his lips, "Just saying that, it just scratched my ears, nothing else."
Xiao Yichen disagreed, "The palace is full of cannibalism. If you soften even a little bit, they will have to take an inch. If she bites you again next time, you won't be able to accept it anymore. It's uncertain. If you endure it any longer, it will be a physical pain."
Shen Nan Baodao saved it.
Xiao Yichen's face softened a little, and he continued what he had just said, "Since you mentioned Concubine He, then you should figure out who she is?"
Shen Nanbao nodded, "He was under the command of the saint. That poison back then... must have been the work of the saint."
"not only that."
Xiao Yichen trembled when he saw her figure, paused, and then said: "Have you never thought about the death of your mother and concubine, and how did you get nasal hemorrhoids since you were born? Why did you take so many medicines? , nasal hemorrhoids still come back again and again..."
The hands under the sleeves clenched quietly, and Shen Nanbao raised his eyes and looked at him.
He paused and said, "This is just my guess. The details will only be known after Dr. Mao Ji diagnoses your pulse."
In fact, whether to diagnose or not is the same as what she wanted to hear Xiao Yichen say today. She just wanted to lift the veil and seek certainty.
But whether it's true or not, it won't change. It can be seen from how the saint treats her.
Shen Nanbao rolled his eyes, remembering the gratuitous glint of swords and swords in the saint's eyes when he looked at her, and also remembered Concubine Shu's harsh voice saying, "No matter how loving a young couple is, they can't compete with time."
Shen Nanbao lowered his eyelashes, "The saint's treatment of my mother and concubine is not just because my mother and concubine stole my father's heart."
Who is a saint?
In the early years, I may have been naive and had the innocence of a girl.
But things changed at any time, and his mood had long been beaten into an iron wall by the successive favors from the officials.
How could there be such a big fight just because a mere concubine was favored?
She could see it clearly, and he didn't hide it, "The year your mother-in-law gave birth to you was the year my father came back from Jiangnan. That year your mother-in-law suffered injustice, and my father also suffered unfairly... "
"So, it's all the work of a saint?"
Xiao Yichen tugged on his lower lip, "Or maybe it's for Prince Ning, or for her mother's family."
This makes the explanation clear.
All doubts were gone.
But after the realization, my heart didn't feel relaxed at all, but felt heavy.
Probably seeing what she was thinking, Xiao Yichen was silent, "If it is really diagnosed, your nasal congestion is due to the poison mixed in your body..."
She knew what he was going to ask.
Ask her if she wants revenge.
Back then, the saint persecuted her mother and concubine so miserably.
And drove her away.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to live another life, she would never have known that her life experience would be so tortuous!
She stood up and faced the window. It was still snowing outside, as if a thorough cleaning had been done, everything was wiped out, the light was completely white, and there was nothing left.
She lowered her eyes slightly in the falling snow, and her long eyelashes fell on the ends of her eyes, leaving a trace of shadow with a sad charm.
"I don't know. You may think what I said is ridiculous. That is my biological mother, the Gu family. For someone who is not related by blood, I would rather go back to the Shen Mansion for her, seek justice for her, and prove that Her innocence.”
She suddenly turned back, "But it's different. To me, Mrs. Wen is just a title of 'mother concubine', but Mrs. Gu is someone I've heard my grandmother talk about since I was a child. I know how Mrs. Gu treats me." Don’t worry, how much does she miss me, and how well does she treat me..."
However, what she thought was sincerity was met with a frown and a chuckle in Xiao Yichen's ears.
"Concubine Chen risked her life to give birth to you alone, and then sent you out of the palace with great disbelief. Can't you still feel her sincere love for you? Is it that words like Concubine Wen and Concubine Chen are too much for you? Are you too unfamiliar, or is it because the person who gave your mother the concubine Bai Ling was an official?"
His heart skipped a beat in his chest. Shen Nanbao panicked a little and moved his mouth in a sarcastic manner.
But he didn't allow her to distinguish. He rolled his eyes and changed his words: "The baby has become a little heavier recently. It requires my two hands to hold it. And your sister, she knows about Song Jinghang and Zheng Shuzhao, but She was in a daze and didn't suffer any shock. She still opened the Zhenbao Pavilion and was still talking and laughing. I'm waiting for you to go to the shop to share tea for her and recruit guests."
I heard her faint voice coming from my ears, "Xiao Yichen..."
He closed his eyes deeply, rubbing her ears and temples just now, as if they were short-lived, withered and withered in an instant, and now only an empty heart was left.
His mother's last words were like a curse, imprisoning him for the rest of his life, telling him that in this life, his heart would only live and beat for Shen Nanbao.
However, I ask myself, are you annoyed?
No.
He even enjoyed it.
Xiao Yichen clenched his teeth, and the sound was almost grinded out by his back molars, "I didn't think about what I said just now. Just pretend that I didn't say it. You only have to remember my words, 'You are you,' He's just who he is."
In fact, she didn't want to do this.
She was just afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.
She has her father on one side and him on the other. She is not a saint, and she doesn’t know when and how she will deviate.
Just like today, if this happens too many times, will he become discouraged and stop liking her?
Her heart suddenly stopped, and an indescribable panic appeared on her face. When she raised her head, her eyes were swept by the wind and waves, as if they were trying to shake something out.
"Why don't you use styrax?"
She asked this question without thinking. He was startled and suddenly smiled, "Don't you want to smell this fragrance alone? I will smell that fragrance when I am alone."
So at that time, during those times, his fragrance disappeared for a while.
Shen Nanbao swallowed his throat and lowered his head.
He was so close to her.
The whole world is his breath.
Every breath and every breath is like a burst of hot wind.
Shen Nanbao felt like there was a cold curtain hanging on his face. The hot wind came and went, and the curtain was cool and hot.
She suddenly stopped talking.
Seeing that Xiao Yichen was a little anxious, he was afraid that she would think too much, so he put his arm around her shoulders and shook her, "Did you hear that?"
This shake brought out a little light.
Bit by bit, it's not light, it's her tears.
Xiao Yichen's heart suffocated.
She suddenly looked up, his outline filled with tears.
"How about you go to dad and propose marriage? I will get married sooner or later. Anyway, you said I will be yours sooner or later."
