Shen Dingzhu raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Langyan with his pale face. After a moment, his cheeks turned from pale to a faint red.
Her fingertips unconsciously tightened the quilt on her body, and she whispered softly: "Even if I am willing, the prince has to wait until I am fully recovered."
Xiao Langyan is an inhumane thing.
She walked around the gate of hell, and after he saw her, the first request he made was to sleep with her?
Shen Dingzhu scolded this man many times in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Langyan's sneer came from above his head: "Where did you think you were? This is not what I am referring to."
Shen Dingzhu was stunned, his watery eyes filled with curiosity: "What does that mean?"
Xiao Langyan was not in a hurry to answer. He pointed to the medicine on the side and motioned to Shen Dingzhu to drink it before speaking.
Shen Dingzhu naturally couldn't resist him. After hesitating for a moment, he decisively picked up the cup and drank the bitter concoction in one gulp.
Her eyebrows were wrinkled in pain, and there were a few drops of brown concoction on her plump lips, which made her eyes even more aggrieved and water-stained.
"Your Majesty, can you speak now?" She touched her chin with her sleeve.
Xiao Langyan then sat on the edge of the couch: "I want you to be mine completely so that you won't hide anything. But, Shen Dingzhu, you are dishonest."
He smiled, but the smile disappeared before reaching his eyes, leaving only a stern look on his stern face.
Those thin eyes were like frost and snow, with a sharpness that penetrated people's hearts.
Shen Dingzhu's heart trembled for no reason, and she already subconsciously argued: "Isn't my past clearly laid out to the prince?"
Xiao Langyan's eyes were cold: "You may have missed one more thing. I will only remind you once. You must think of a good answer. Otherwise, I will not do my best to rehabilitate the Shen family."
so serious?
Shen Dingzhu looked at the thick ink-like color in his eyes and licked his dry lips.
"My lord, just ask."
"Xuanjia Army." Xiao Langyan only said these three words, but it made Shen Dingzhu secretly shocked.
Does Xiao Langyan know?
No, it's impossible, he's lying to her!
The Xuanjia army in the hands of the late emperor was powerful and could overturn the monarch's side, subvert the royal power, and change the monarch.
In the previous life, even though Shen Dingzhu became Xiao Langyan's favorite concubine, she still heard from him that he had been looking for this 100,000-strong Xuanjia army.
Where they are hiding, no one knows.
For a monarch, it is always a disaster if such troops and horses are not in his own hands.
But for Xiao Langyan's current status, if the Xuanjia Army can be used by him, it will be like a tiger with more wings, and it will definitely help him win the world!
but……
Seeing the change in Shen Dingzhu's expression, Xiao Langyan raised his cool eyebrows and said, "It seems that you still refuse to say it, right? If so, you have already exhausted the opportunities I gave you."
He stood up and was about to leave, as if there was no room for discussion about the Shen family's affairs.
Shen Dingzhu hurriedly hugged his arm, half of her body was hanging in the air, and almost fell off the bed. Xiao Langyan held her hand with his backhand, picked up her wrist, and sent her back to the bed.
His thin lips pursed slightly, and the smile on his face was as indifferent as a cloud, and it would disappear at any time.
"What, you want to say it?"
Shen Dingzhu's black hair lay softly on her neck, and her watery eyes were round.
Her voice was soft and her eyebrows were furrowed: "I didn't confess to the prince because I was not sure. My father did mention the matter of the Xuanjia Army, but he said that this was what the late emperor told him, and he would not let it out even if he died. secrecy."
"And the reason why I know this is because when my father and my mother were having a secret conversation in the room, I heard it when I just walked to the door. I know very little about the Xuanjia Army. If If it is true, why didn’t the so-called Xuanjia Army show up to help when our whole Shen family was in trouble?”
"If the prince really wants to know, he might as well ask his father himself one day."
Xiao Langyan's eyes were cold and he stared at her for a moment with half-lidded eyes, then suddenly said: "Who was the servant who took you back after that night at Juema Temple?"
Shen Dingzhu felt puzzled and replied: "He is my aunt's servant. What's wrong?"
Judging from her expression, she didn't look like she was lying.
Xiao Langyan's voice became much calmer: "The Xuanjia Army has only received news twice in recent years, and both times were related to you."
The first time was that night at Jue Ma Temple, when Xiao Langyan's people learned that a large number of Xuanjia troops appeared in the night, riding iron horses, and galloped towards the west.
The second time was last year's lantern bandit riot. Many Xuanjia soldiers mingled with the crowd, fought with the bandits, and finally forced them back. But in the blink of an eye, these well-trained soldiers disappeared.
Facing Xiao Langyan's doubts, Shen Dingzhu looked at a loss: "There are many coincidences in this world. It would be great if I really have such great abilities."
Having said that, thinking of how helpless she felt on the day her house was ransacked, and how sad she was when she was almost thrown into a military camp to work as a prostitute, she burst into tears and cried so hard that it rained down on her.
The cold look on Xiao Langyan's face froze slightly, and his voice couldn't help but soften a bit.
"I didn't blame you, why are you crying?"
"I cry about the misfortune of my life. If I had run into someone and died on that day when my house was ransacked, I would not be living a life that would be worse than death now."
Xiao Langyan's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Life is worse than death? Isn't this king treating you badly?"
Shen Dingzhu raised his tearful eyes, and the water dropped from his eyes, slid down his chin to his neck, and finally fell into the most tender depths.
She choked and said, "The prince treats me well, just like he treats a little bird or kitten outside. He has never truly trusted me in his heart."
"In the final analysis, Miss Fu is lucky. She can attract the prince's care and respect by doing nothing. I try my best to please you, but in the end, I can't resist the prince's suspicion."
Seeing Shen Dingzhu crying hard, her red lips panting and crying, her face, which had not yet fully recovered from the illness, was even paler, like a withered peony.
Xiao Langyan frowned, stretched out his hand, and kept wiping her tears with his calloused fingertips.
"Okay, don't cry! What did you mention about Fu Yunqiu? You two are not the same kind of people." Besides, what is there to envy about Fu Yunqiu's way?
Shen Dingzhu looked at him again, with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Even if the prince doesn't say it, I know that you didn't come back yesterday because you were taking care of Miss Fu."
Xiao Langyan lowered his voice: "Did the ghost doctor tell you?"
Shen Dingzhu looked away: "If the prince has a clear conscience, are he still afraid of what others will say?"
Xiao Langyan almost laughed out loud. He didn't even understand why she was interrogating him now?
However, Xiao Langyan couldn't be angry with her when she thought that Shen Dingzhu drank the bowl of poison for him in order to save the opportunity.
He grabbed her white and delicate little hand, held it in his palm and rubbed it twice, his voice was a bit coaxing.
"Wipe your tears. If you cry again, I will not guarantee that your sister-in-law will be able to come back with the child after spring begins."
