Chapter 37: Ambiguity

Wei Yang's softness clasped her thin white wrist and said with a faint glance: "Come with me." ”

And Shen Shuzhao didn't have time to come back to his senses, so he was taken away in a daze.

On the corridor, the two long skirts were like two white flowers, dragging along the ground, and she honestly followed behind the beauty in front of her, so flustered that she didn't dare to make a sound. At dusk and night, there were already lanterns hanging under the eaves, and in the light and shadow, she couldn't see Wei Yang's expression clearly.

But the hand that gently held her gradually began to rise in temperature, burning her wrists. So a hint of joy flashed into her heart, and she lowered her head and silently followed.

As soon as the long night came, there were fewer palace people coming and going here, and there were only two of them who walked for so long in the night.

Passing by the flower pond in front of the empty cicada hall, the epiphany stretched out little by little along the moonlight, and the orchid was transparent, Shen Shuzhao stopped and paid attention sideways.

"What's wrong?" Wei Yang in front of him let go of his hand, so he turned around and asked.

"It's nothing," Shen Shuzhao said, "but I just remembered the day when the princess took me to enjoy the flowers in the West Garden...... It's as good as it is now. ”

Wei Yang smiled: "If you like it, I will often bring you over in the future." ”

It's an agreement, another agreement.

"Really?" She asked.

"I have never broken my word to you."

After finishing speaking, Wei Yang's eyes were gloomy with little notice.

Shen Shuzhao then took a bold step forward and said, "Princess, why are you so good to your courtiers?" ”

She looked calm on her face, but she was faintly uneasy inside.

"Huh?" Wei Yang don't look over his head to look at the epiphany.

"I ...... The courtier asked, why did the princess treat the courtiers so well? Shen Shuzhao said in a panic.

Wei Yang brushed his hair, and his tone was very flat: "You are my cousin, I am your cousin, I treat you well, isn't it normal?" ”

She froze in place and said, "That's it? ”

"And what else?"

In this sentence, there is no sentiment that makes people think too much.

Looking at Wei Yang, who was in the night scene outside the corridor in front of her, her expression was so calm, she felt in a trance that she was all self-inflicted in the past.

"Oh......" She withdrew the gaze that had always fallen on Wei Yang's gentle side face for a long time, and looked at the beautiful epiphanyes in the distance, but she didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery, "I thought...... Oh, it's me who thinks too much. ”

Her face was hot for a while, and Shen Shuzhao suddenly couldn't find the words to talk about it, and her last words were so light that Wei Yang would definitely not hear them.

"Did the princess also bring the eldest sister to Xiyuan?"

After a while, Shen Shuzhao smiled bitterly.

Wei Yang shook his head lightly after hearing this: "No." ”

"But the princess is so kind to the courtiers, she will bring them in the future."

She said sourly, and Wei Yang turned to look at her when he heard this, his eyes full of intriguing.

"Cousin, don't you want me to take someone else there?"

Shen Shuzhao didn't look away when he heard it, and said, "The courtiers didn't mean that. The princess is so good to the courtiers, so much sisterhood, how can the courtiers stop the princess from being good to others? ”

Wei Yang smiled: "In the future, I will follow my cousin's and don't let anyone go." ”

Shen Shuzhao said: "...... The courtiers didn't say that. ”

The person on the other side didn't reply anything, but cast a meaningful look at her. Shen Shuzhao suddenly felt that his mind had been seen clearly.

"Why are your hands so cold," Wei Yang took her hand, "It's already night, let's go back to Qinglian Pavilion quickly." ”

Then she took Shen Shuzhao by the flow and continued to walk forward. The two delicate figures, separated by a distance, were pulled out by the evening light on the ground with a pair of long and entangled shadows.

Back in the west wing of Qinglian Pavilion, Shen Shuzhao sat on the edge of the bed, pulled up his culottes, faded to his white thighs, and went back to the palace to see the Queen Mother kneeling on the ground.

Presumably because of the two distresses when he left the palace, he accidentally bumped into it. Recalling her experience in a remote alley, she fell into deep thought, who was so brazen as to assassinate the people in the palace?

Shen Shuzhao knew that although the Xiao family and the Chen family were arrogant, they would never dare at this point, and the people behind the scenes were still a matter worth speculating.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and soon Wei Yang walked in.

She didn't have time to put down her skirt before Wei Yang had already walked in front of her.

The man's gaze slid from his pale thighs to the instep of his feet, and Wei Yang raised his eyebrows, obviously seeing that he had seen everything in his eyes. Shen Shuzhao blushed and hurriedly put down her skirt, hurriedly straightened her body and sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "Let the princess see and laugh." ”

Wei Yang said: "The bruises are so heavy, take some medicine to wipe them." ”

"The courtiers know ......" Before Shen Shuzhao's words fell, he saw Wei Yang walk out. Where did she go? After a while, Shen Shuzhao suddenly thought, she wouldn't be looking for medicine, right?

All of a sudden, she fidgeted, pinched the thin quilt embroidered with red brocade, repeatedly loosened and clenched, this mood was even worse than the red wedding dress waiting to be sent in the boudoir in her previous life.

It didn't take long to see Wei Yang enter the house again with a white jade vial in his hand, come to Shen Shuzhao, take a look at the bruised knees covered by the plain skirt, and said with a slight frown: "Pick it up." ”

Shen Shuzhao said: "...... Does it have to be? ”

Wei Yang asked rhetorically: "Otherwise? ”

So Shen Shuzhao had no choice but to open her skirt in a covert manner, and then Wei Yang untied the bottle, put the ointment inside on her fingers, and then applied the ointment to Shen Shuzhao's knees, her fingertips gently stroked her bones, and then slid down the bones little by little, which made Shen Shuzhao feel itchy, and her heart was numb.

She really felt that the eldest princess Wei Yang was not just as simple as rubbing medicine for her, the roots of her ears were red, and after the medicine was applied, she hurriedly put down the corners of her skirt piled on her thighs, and said at the same time: "Okay, okay, no need." ”

Putting the medicine bottle on the rattan case, Wei Yang said, "This is what I brought from the Empty Cicada Palace, so I'll let you here." ”

"The eldest princess has a heart."

"I don't claim to be lonely anymore, why do you still call me a princess?" Wei Yang squinted.

"There is a difference between dignity and inferiority, although you have a cousin relationship with Your Royal Highness, but you are the eldest princess after all, but the courtier is just a concubine, if you call you a cousin, the courtier will only feel deeply frightened."

Wei Yang smiled: "You are too outward." ”

Shen Shuzhao was so aggrieved that she clutched the quilt tightly, why didn't she want to call her maiden name directly, but did she have the qualifications?

Then Wei Yang got up, and then sat on the edge of her bed, the dark fragrance hit, smelling crisp, the two of them were very close to each other, Shen Shuzhao felt that her body suddenly became very heavy, but this made her heart full of unknown expectations.

The frost leaf red bed curtains, the red brocade silk quilt, if it weren't for the two women sitting at this time, it really looked like a young couple meeting on a wedding night in front of the bed.

"You don't go out of the palace to do these things in the future." Wei Yang's opening.

This made her not know how to answer, and Wei Yang continued, "I will worry about you. ”

“…… Like worrying about the eldest sister and the third sister? Suddenly, somehow, she just wanted to ask this.

Wei Yang tilted his head, his eyes full of slight stunned: "What? ”

Shen Shuzhao thought about it, hesitated and decided to suppress this question, but at this time, there was a vague ambiguity, and the mystery between her and Wei Yang was full of mysteries that could not be cleared through the fog, she thought about it, and finally asked timidly: "Princess...... Are you worried about me as much as you are worried about your eldest sister? ”

When she said it, she was ready for Wei Yang to naturally reply with a well, but she waited for a while, and the person next to her did not say what she thought, but instead, there was a long silence.

"Hmm......" Wei Yang finally spoke, the expected reply, her hanging heart fell to the ground, and then she quickly heard her say this: "I will worry about you more than I worry about them." ”

Shen Shuzhao's eyes when she looked at Wei Yang this time were no longer secretly longing, but very shocked, and Wei Yang's thin lips pursed calmly gave her reason to believe that she was serious.

Such...... That's it.

That's good...... What she was looking forward to, wasn't it realized, how could she suddenly feel that she had an indescribable mood, disturbed in her heart, like a disoriented fog in the clouds and smoke, the left and right sides are happy, and the other side is worried, and she can't tell the truth.

At this time, Wei Yang said calmly: "Also, I forgot to say that your eyes are actually very impressive to me." ”

"Mine?" Shen Shuzhao repeated.

Wei Yang nodded: "I don't know why, I remember it at a glance." ”

Shen Shuzhao lowered his head and smiled lightly: "Your Highness, you too...... Ever since she only saw you once that day, she has always remembered the princess's eyes, and no matter how many years have passed, she has never forgotten it. ”

"Which time?"

In the face of Wei Yang's inquiry, she realized that she was talking about her previous life, so she changed her words: "When my mother brought her courtiers into the palace when I was a child, I was fortunate to see Her Royal Highness at the banquet of the queen mother. ”

It seems that Wei Yang believes it, and listens to her: "I see." When I first met you, I knew that you had powerful eyes, and the Queen Mother has always appreciated people with such eyes as you, but you don't want to be trapped in the palace as a concubine, but you always give her advice, why? ”

Shen Shuzhao looked out of the dark window, and only after a long time did he speak: "The long night in this harem is longer than the night outside. ”

Hearing this, Wei Yang looked at her silently.

She sighed and continued: "The night in this palace carries countless frustrated nights, and it is so long that you can hear the old people in each palace crying one by one. The harem in the long night is the most unpleasant, whether it is proud or not, it is all regret, it is all sighing, and it is helpless. ”

Just because she has been in the palace for so many years, she has seen too much, too much.

When she finished speaking, Wei Yang said quietly: "Actually, I don't like this place very much, there are too many women, and there are constant rights and wrongs." ”

Shen Shuzhao choked up in her heart, in her previous life, where most of the women wanted to go, she had no choice to come, but what did she get? For the sake of her family, she fought hard for one life after another, and she wanted to escape all the time.

Standing in front of the gate of Changle Palace and looking out, the direction that she yearns for the most is the main gate out of the palace.

It was only when she saw the sky that she felt that she was truly alive and not a pawn slaughtered by someone else.

"Yes," Shen Shuzhao sighed, "Because there are many rights and wrongs, there are always many unbreakable conspiracies, one after another, no one can breathe, and there is constant chaos, and once you fall into it, you can never get out." ”

Wei Yang said: "Since you know about the chaos in the palace, why are you always involved?" You know that if you don't do anything, you can get away with it. Isn't Li Sizhi's incident dangerous enough today? ”

Hearing her say this, Shen Shuzhao propped her hands on the bed, leaned forward slowly towards Wei Yang, her body was gentle, and the two faced each other, until she made Wei Yang's eyes completely full of her own figure, and then said to her aggrievedly: "Because the courtiers don't do this, you won't be able to see me." ”

This time Wei Yang was dumbfounded.

Shen Shuzhao knew that she naturally didn't understand what she meant.

At that time, she and Wei Yang were so close that they could feel each other's warm breathing.

Like, how can you not tease?

But she felt that she was not satisfied, that was not enough, if ...... If Wei Yang also has feelings for her?

Shen Shuzhao tentatively took a step closer, Wei Yang's lips were close, cold and fragrant, she stopped at a subtle distance that was almost about to kiss head-on, and asked, "So...... What would happen if the princess didn't see me? ”

Then she noticed that the person on the other side gasped slightly, and she was stunned.

Then Wei Yang pressed her shoulder, Shen Shuzhao felt that she was slowly falling, and for a while, she felt a gentle pillow feather behind her forehead, and her green silk spread out on the red bed, "Huh? What do you think? Finally she heard the man above her chest say this.
