Xie Shu fell into the man's arms, breathing heavily. Her scarred hands tightly grasped the clothes on his arms, as if she was afraid that he would leave her.
She was so desperate.
She was clearly still alive at this moment, but it felt like she was breaking bit by bit in the man's arms.
The man carried Xie Shu, who had fallen into the water, back to the shore. He held her very carefully, as if the person in his arms was everything to him.
The palace people in Taiyechi all knelt on the ground.
"See the Eighth Prince."
Even Gu Suisui and Chu Tongshang had to bow.
"Chu Tongshang, is this how you treat her?"
Nangong Yin, dressed in black brocade clothes, walked slowly out of the heavy snow.
The dripping Xie Shu leaned into his arms and absorbed the warmth from his body.
It was probably too painful, and the fingers holding his clothes never relaxed for a moment.
The sun shines on his handsome and evil face, and his whole body is like jade soaked in brilliance, and his wild brows and eyes are filled with a thrilling unruly and frivolous look.
Monster, romantic.
The eighth prince.
Nangong Yin.
Emperor Yuan had many sons, but he was the least favored. His mother and concubine died young, and he lived like a transparent person in the palace.
When he was eight or nine years old, he was expelled from Kyoto by Emperor Yuan and exiled to the bitter cold southern Xinjiang.
Emperor Yuan didn't like him, so Xie Shu had a bad reputation before. Even though she was so ugly, she could be accused of marrying him!
When Xie Shu was accused of marrying him, everyone in the capital regarded it as a joke.
An ugly girl and a good-for-nothing, a perfect match!
Who would have known that this ugly girl would despise this good-for-nothing and refused to marry Chu Tongshang.
Because Nangong Yin refused to marry, he had been a laughing stock among those in the capital for a long time.
Chu Tongshang helped Gu Suisui stand up. He said indifferently: "She is just a sinner. I will treat her as a matter of course."
Xie Shu half-closed her eyes and was dying, looking extremely fragile in his arms.
With such an indifferent voice, who could it be if it wasn't Chu Tongshang?
It turned out to be a dream...just a dream.
She thought... she saw him.
She lowered her eyes.
"Chu Tongshang!" Nangong Yin's handsome eyebrows darkened, and he said with a fierce aura: "You said you wanted to marry her as the crown prince, why did you do this to her?"
Crown Princess...
This made Xie Shu feel even more embarrassed.
Xie Shu pulled his sleeves and gasped weakly: "Times have changed, please the Eighth Prince——"
Chu Tongshang spoke at this moment: "Is a joke worthy of the Eighth Prince working so hard for her?"
Chu Tongshang's tone was very calm, with no mood swings, only slight ridicule.
The surroundings suddenly became quieter.
Xie Shu's fingers froze, her knuckles curled up, and her heart was tightly grasped.
A joke echoed throughout my mind.
He taught her how to play chess before, and they buried osmanthus wine under the tree together, put out Lantern Festival lanterns for her, and talked softly between the beds.
It turned out to be just...a joke? Is the engagement a sham?
Did he lie to her?
She wanted to say something, but ended up swallowing the words stuck in her throat.
She looked at him quietly.
Nangong Yin's voice was filled with coldness, and he glanced at Gu Suisui, who lowered his head and remained silent.
He hugged Xie Shu and turned around to leave.
"What a joke!"
"Since you don't cherish Shushu, then I will marry her!"
Word for word, decisive.
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Chu Tongshang said quietly, "She is a slave of Prince Chu's palace."
"She has to stay in Prince Chu's Mansion to atone for her sins."
Nangong Yin paused slightly, and a cold air appeared in his eyes, "What does she owe you? She tried the medicine for you for three years and almost lost her life. You want to humiliate her like this?"
"As long as I'm here, you can't touch her again."
After saying these words, Nangong Yin hugged Xie Shu and left Taiye Pool and left the palace.
Chu Tongshang withdrew his eyes and left with Gu Suisui.
Everyone in the Xie family is in prison, Nangong Yin has not been named king, and there is no place for him in the palace, so he can only live in the inn outside the palace.
Five of Emperor Yuan's ten sons died in infancy, and now there are five left.
The other four sons were all crowned kings, but Nangong Yin was the only one who could not win the emperor's favor. Every time he was recalled to Kyoto, he would only become a joke to a few brothers.
Waste is synonymous with him.
Because he was humiliated by his brothers when he was a child, forcing him to learn how to crawl like a dog and dig into his crotch.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Nangong Yin took off his coat and put it on Xie Shu.
"Shu Shu." His dark phoenix eyes overflowed with love, and he couldn't even bear to take another look at the hem of her skirt.
The skirt was wet, with a faint blood red color on it.
"I'll take you back to southern Xinjiang, follow me, okay?"
"I'm going to ask my father to take you away. As long as I, Nangong Yin, am still breathing, I will not allow anyone to hurt my Shushu."
"As long as you don't think I'm a loser... I can stand up for Shu Shu."
Nangong Yin, who had always been wild and unruly, romantic and enchanting, when he looked at Xie Shu, his expression was soft, caring, and even pious.
Xie Shu is his treasure.
Xie Shu's eyes were red, and she had never felt like crying before.
Facing his eyes full of passion and love, she couldn't help it, and her eyes blurred instantly.
Xie Shu bit her lip tightly.
"In Xie Shu's eyes, no matter in the past or now, the Eighth Prince has never been a wimp."
"I knew it." His voice was low and hoarse. "Everyone will laugh at my origin, but you won't."
Xie Shu was very grateful to him, "But I can't leave the capital with you."
Nangong Yin's eyes were dull, "You still do it for Chu Tongshang, right?"
"I know I'm not as good as him, but I-"
"The Eighth Prince is the Eighth Prince. He will always be my best friend. There is no need to compare with anyone." Xie Shu said every word.
Nangong Yin felt sorry for her, "He betrayed you."
"It's not important anymore." Xie Shu showed a tired smile.
Nangong Yin felt choked.
The carriage arrived at the hospital soon. Xie Shu didn't want to go, but she still cared about her leg. She couldn't get good treatment in the palace, so she had to see a doctor.
The wound on the thigh worsened again, and the wound began to fester and bleed again.
The doctor told her, "Girl, you have to take good care of these legs, otherwise..."
The doctor shook his head and refused to continue talking.
It was not convenient for Nangong Yin to see the doctor together inside. When Xie Shu supported her body and went out, she returned to her indifferent look.
Nangong Yin thought she was not seriously injured.
Arrive at the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion.
He jumped off the carriage first.
Then, he stretched out his slender hand towards her.
"careful."
Xie Shu didn't want to show off, so she grabbed his hand and used his strength to get off the carriage.
result.
Xie Shu just stood firm and looked up to see the person standing at the door of the palace.
Chu Tongshang and Gu Suisui arrived just a little ahead of them.
"Thank you, sister, you are finally back." Gu Suisui's eyes lit up, "Does your leg still hurt? These are the sugar-roasted chestnuts that Ah Chang accompanied me to the south of the city to buy. They are very fragrant. Do you want to eat some?"
Gu Suisui smiled cutely.
If you ignore everything that happened in Jiaofang Hall today, Xie Shu really thought that Gu Suisui was an innocent girl.
Roasted chestnuts with sugar.
It's just an ordinary roasted chestnut with sugar, nothing to show off.
But it is true that Xie Shu has never owned it.
Not to mention taking such a long detour...
She said coldly, "No need."
Chu Tongshang raised his eyelids and glanced at them, his eyes scanning Xie Shu's black coat.
He withdrew his gaze.
"Thank you sister, you and the Eighth Prince... you..."
Gu Suisui was about to speak but stopped.
