CHAPTER XLIII

"How are you doing?" Yan Tianmu stood in front of Xi Yan and looked at her sitting on the swing condescendingly.

"Not bad. Xi Yan was not surprised by his appearance. She swayed on the swing, her lake-blue dress rippling like water, swaying in the breeze. The afternoon sun was obscured by the thick vines on the swing, so she just woke up from a nap and ran out to play. The swing was what she had asked for from Lei Xiao earlier.

After Yan Tianmu recovered from his injuries, he officially took charge of the guards in the palace. He was allowed to freely enter and leave any part of the palace. In the palace of Nuoda, a second man other than Lei Xiao appeared. Xiyan heard Lei Xiao talk about the reason for this, and understood that the two would meet sooner or later.

"I'm fine too. He looked at her with burning eyes. Heaven is really gracious to her, as if someone else gave birth to a child for her, and now she is no different from before, still so beautiful, so that he is moved just by looking at it.

"I know. She lowered her head and looked at the feet on the ground standing across from her.

"Nothing else to say?" he smiled, and when he saw that she always kept her head down, he followed her gaze and saw the remains of a flower on the sole of his shoe.

"Nope. She shook her head again. Her uncaring, completely indifferent attitude made his already expectant mood worse.

"What's the matter, I'm afraid I'll tell you about our relationship, so you're in a hurry to draw a line with me?" he sneered, his fists clenched.

"Wait a minute, my maid will come. She answered the question, and finally looked up at him quietly.

"Okay," his fist loosened again, "there's a chance in the future." He pretended not to care.

Xiyan watched him leave, still bowing his head, dangling his feet, and wiping the footprints he left with the long corners of his skirt.

Night.

Lei Xiao was obsessed with taking a bath with Xiyan and never got tired of it. She has to prepare hot water in the palace all day long, so that Lei Xiao can enjoy the fun immediately when he is interested.

"What's wrong?" he noticed that Xiyan was a little silent and absent-minded today.

"Nothing. She smiled at him, and continued to wipe his body seriously.

"Look at me. Lei Xiao dragged her to his side and faced her face to face, "If there is something, you must not hide it." ”

"Yes, I know. Xiyan smiled and nodded obediently.

Yan Tianmu stood in the dark, watching his father-in-law carrying a bucket of hot water go in and out. He didn't dare to imagine more, she was tactful by the side of another man, and the association of blood backflow would make him even more crazy.

"The king spent the night with the side concubine again?" asked Shisu expressionlessly.

"Since I came back from the other palace, I have been in the side concubine palace. A little father-in-law crouched down and returned.

"All the time?" Zi Su asked again, "What about when the side concubine is inconvenient?"

"Yes, too. ”

"Go down and get your reward, and keep watching. She sent her father-in-law down. The mountain alliance and the sea oath are really just a passing cloud. There was some sadness in her heart. He used to like to come and sit, and the cushion he used to lean on was now dusty. Coveting freshness, such a reason, can't comfort her at all.

When Yan Tianmu came in, she saw her sister's eyebrows locked and she was in a daze.

"Sister?" he called, looking at her with concern, "what's wrong?"

"You're here. Zi Su forced a smile, "Let's sit down first." ”

When he sat down, Shisu asked with concern, "Everything is still going well, right?"

"It went smoothly, and it was basically arranged. Yan Tianmu replied, "There will be no problems with the safety in the palace." ”

"That being said, you still have to put a little more thought into it. Nearest the king nearest the gallows. You have to remind yourself that you are. Shiso settled uneasily.

"I'm in my own hands, so you don't have to worry about it. Yan Tianmu said simply. "It's you, sister, who seems to be depressed lately. What's wrong with that?"

"It's not going to be good. There was a thorn in his eye, but he couldn't pull it out. She said half-truthfully.

Yan Tianmu smiled, "I watched the vinegar drink too much, and I panicked." ”

"Okay, you think I'm joking with you?" Seeing his indecent face, Shisu felt angry.

"However, the king's heart, don't touch it casually. Yan Tianmu put away his smile, "I'll talk about it after I think it clearly." ”

"You don't need to teach. Shiso glared at him. "Am I that stupid?"

"During the day, have you been to the side concubine's palace?" Zi Su changed the topic and asked.

"Been there. Yan Tianmu didn't hide it.

"The first time we met, you fell in love?" Shisu looked at him with a smile.

"A few more words, it's not a fate. Yan Tianmu also responded with a smile.

"I thought you were lost too. Shiso looked into his eyes, trying to find something out of them, but nothing.

"You're really overthinking. Yan Tianmu played with the cup in his hand.

Xiyan couldn't sleep. Lei Xiao beside him hugged her tightly from behind. She felt uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to move, for fear of waking him. He slept with him every night, which annoyed her a lot. During the day, Concubine Li and Concubine Shu came to sit down, and their words were tactful, but their ears were full of thorns. The princess didn't say a word, but her every move here was probably all in her eyes. Also, he has rewarded a lot of things recently, how can he get them outside the palace and hand them over to his sister without realizing it. Lei Xiao felt that her body was tense, and knew that she was still awake, so he couldn't ask her anything, so he simply went with her.
