Shen Dingzhu's face suddenly became filled with guilt.
"So that it won't be cold at night and you won't be able to sleep well." She took the initiative to get up and take off Xiao Langyan's cloak.
However, he raised his hand and held her wrist. He sneered and asked in a low voice, "It's to protect me, huh?"
Shen Dingzhu saw through him and did not dare to admit it. He only lowered his eyelashes twice: "No, how could it be possible? Your Majesty thinks too much."
Xiao Langyan just chuckled, without revealing her little thoughts. He held Shen Dingzhu's waist and walked outside together.
The night wind blowing against my face was biting and cold. It was almost the end of the year, and it seemed like it was going to snow.
Shen Dingzhu was almost half-carried in his arms and dragged into the main room.
He then stretched out his arms and motioned for her to change his clothes.
Shen Dingzhu's gentle movements and a pair of watery eyes under her dark eyebrows made her look even more stunning.
"I heard from Xu Shou that you asked a servant who washes horses in the front yard to go to Shangzhou today?"
"I was just about to mention this to the prince," Shen Dingzhu didn't hide it. "The two Zhuangzi that my aunt returned last time have been holding me down, but it's useless."
"I just found a servant with quick legs to help me go to Shangzhou to exchange Zhuangzi out and keep some money in my hand."
Xiao Langyan glanced at her and asked casually: "Why choose Wu Ren? If you want to have fast legs and feet, just tell Xu Shou and he will make arrangements."
Shen Dingzhu raised his eyes, his fair and tender cheeks were rosy, exuding a delicate energy.
"It's not good for me to trouble Eunuch Xu with everything. Besides, I specially selected a not-so-important person to help me make this trip, and it won't delay the prince's business."
Xiao Langyan's eyes were as dark as abyss and he said nothing, but he didn't express any doubt either.
After a while, he took the initiative and said to Shen Dingzhu: "Today, my eldest brother has invited me to go to Jidu to supervise the new water conservancy construction. My father is willing to give him a chance to perform, so he allows me to stay in the capital."
Shen Dingzhu's slender hand paused as she poured him tea. Did this matter finally fall on Prince Ping?
That can only be considered bad luck for him.
She raised her hand, put away the teapot, and gave a symbolic comfort: "The prince is unable to contribute this time, but he can find opportunities to share the emperor's worries in the future."
Xiao Langyan held the tea cup and sneered: "It doesn't matter."
When Shen Dingzhu heard these two words, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. However, she finally knew some of the reasons why Xiao Langyan didn't get along with the emperor.
This matter is a secret in the palace, but it is not a secret to Shen Dingzhu, who has lived for two lives.
In his previous life, Xiao Langyan once drank too much and hugged her and told her about it.
Xiao Langyan's mother-in-law was already engaged to someone else, but she was spotted by the emperor who paid a private visit in disguise, and almost forcibly snatched her back to the palace and became his concubine.
Shortly after giving birth to Xiao Langyan, she died of depression.
The emperor's love was weak, and the woman who took the trouble to bring him back to the palace was no longer so precious and important after she gave birth to a child for him.
Especially when there were so many beauties in the harem, the funeral of Xiao Langyan's mother, Concubine Liu, was simple.
The emperor didn't pay much attention to Xiao Langyan.
I don't know if in retrospect, his mother pretended to be someone else, so her attitude towards him was considered harsh.
Otherwise, Xiao Langyan would not have developed such an indifferent character.
She was immersed in her own thoughts when someone unexpectedly grabbed her from her waist and sat on Xiao Langyan's lap the next second.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
Shen Dingzhu's eyelashes trembled and slowly lowered, like folded butterfly wings.
She said in a dull voice: "I wonder why we are all family members, but they are more ruthless than strangers?"
Xiao Langyan raised his eyebrows, and there was a flash in his eyes: "Is it because Pingyi County Duke said that he wants to send your cousin to Beijing?"
Sure enough, he already knew the content of the letter in advance, and Shen Dingzhu had no intention of hiding it and nodded gently.
Xiao Langyan laughed, his smile was deep, his voice was pleasant, and it was also a bit teasing.
"I have told you long ago that rehabilitating the Shen family is as difficult as climbing to the sky. You are the only one who persists on this road. It is really a bit whimsical." He said, playing with the ends of her hair.
Thinking of last night's beauty, the hair fell down on the neck, white and black, extremely dazzling.
Shen Dingzhu didn't notice the fire burning in his eyes, and just said: "No matter how difficult it is, I will insist. My father was wronged. Sooner or later, the truth will be revealed."
Xiao Langyan said nothing. Both he and Shen Dingzhu knew that the person who submitted the evidence of treason to the Shen family was Ma Shangshu.
But the person who really made the final decision on the conviction was the emperor.
The person who wants the Shen family to die is the most supreme person in the Jin State. With Shen Dingzhu alone, there is no way he can clear up his grievances.
Unless, the emperor is dead.
Xiao Langyan's eyes narrowed, and he stopped thinking deeply and picked up Shen Dingzhu.
She let out a sweet cry, sensing his intention, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop him, her face reddening: "Your Majesty, can you take a day off? My right hand...is still sore when I'm painting flowers today."
Xiao Langyan placed her on the couch and lowered his eyes to see that her jade-like face was unparalleledly beautiful.
He smiled, but his eyes looked even deeper and more dangerous: "Then serve me in another way."
Xiao Langyan's slender fingertips pressed on her plump lips.
Shen Dingzhu was startled: "No..."
Although it is not that he has never experienced it in his previous life, it will only be the beginning of more exhaustion.
She then wanted to sneak out of the bed, but before she could escape, Xiao Langyan caught her again.
The bed curtain fell, and Shen Dingzhu's voice of resistance gradually disappeared.
Later she admitted it and obeyed him wholeheartedly.
However, I don't know why, the more serious she became, the angrier Xiao Langyan became.
He even rubbed her hair and said in a hoarse voice: "Your sweetheart is of no use. How about you please me and I will avenge this family for you?"
Shen Dingzhu ignored him and just thought he was comfortable and confused.
Xiao Langyan became violent and bit out one green and red mark after another on her neck, causing her to burst into tears.
After enjoying themselves three times, Shen Dingzhu wanted to call for water, but was held in his arms.
"You've learned the art of pleasing people very well." He panted, his hoarse and low voice was filled with laughter, but Shen Dingzhu could inexplicably sense the cruelty.
In the past two days, Xiao Langyan tried several times and was almost certain that Shen Dingzhu, a woman who had not yet left the court, had some skills in bed.
In that overwhelming joy, Xiao Langyan's eyes were both sinking and cold.
Shen Dingzhu opened his lips: "I didn't..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Langyan had already bit her lower lip.
Fierce and hot.
The two of them were torn together again, and in a daze, she heard Xiao Langyan pressing her shoulders and saying calmly: "It's Fu Yunqiu's birthday in a few days, so you should accompany me."
Shen Dingzhu nodded.
She really wanted to accompany him to this occasion.
However, the next second, Xiao Langyan said again: "Prepare one more gift. Miss Fu San and General Zhou are going to get married, so send them together."
Fu Yunzhi is going to marry Zhou Luli? !
Shen Dingzhu froze, and when Xiao Langyan noticed it, the smile on his thin lips gradually became colder.
"The sweetheart you talked about turned out to be him," he said with almost certainty. He pressed his cold fingertips on Shen Dingzhu's heart and sneered, "He also taught you these skills?"
