Five days passed.

Ning Ruo stayed by Li Xuan's side almost every day, personally taking care of his diet and daily life. It's just that Xiyan hasn't shown up in the past few days, Li Xuan's heart can't help but turn a thousand times, worrying about it, but just because she doesn't want to see herself, she can't bear to ask, for fear of going against her will, but making her embarrassed. Xiyan was originally a concubine, and although her identity was noble, she was also embarrassed, and now Li Xuan didn't ask, and Ning Ruo wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. So Xiyan was invariably skipped by everyone, as if there was no zài at all.

After staying for five days, Xiyan couldn't stand the urging of the people around him, and finally decided to see Li Xuan.

"Although Gege wants to stay away from the prince, the etiquette is still ......," Chunxue said tirelessly.

"Okay, okay, my ears are going to be calloused. Just let me be quiet. Am I not already going? Xiyan interrupted impatiently, "Xia Shuang, hurry up." Are you trying to draw a flower on my face? ”

"Gege is a flower. It's just that the slave wants to dress you up better, so that the prince is reluctant to open his eyes when he sees it. Xia Shuang smiled.

"That's it." Xiyan frowned. "Wipe it all off. It's good to be refreshing. ”

"Don't, don't." Xia Shuang hurriedly stopped her. "Gege, isn't this the effort of destroying the slave?"

"So be it." Xiyan had no choice but to say, and looked at herself in the glasses casually. "That's it."

"Gege," when he arrived at the door of Langfeng Hall, seeing that Xiyan stopped again, Xia Shuang said nervously, "You won't be changing your hexagram again, right?" ”

"That's not going to work." Spring snow has blocked her way out. If she had accompanied Gege last time, she would never have let her go back without entering the door. The prince is so seriously injured, but he doesn't come to visit, isn't it a cause for trouble?

"It's not." Xiyan shook her head, "I'm ...... A little scared. ”

"Afraid of what?" Xia Shuangqi said.

Afraid of what? Xiyan was asked by her.

When his life hung by a thread, she was not afraid: if he went like this, she would be his companion and would never let him go on the road alone. But now that he was recovering, she suddenly became afraid.

She is not afraid of dying together, but she does not know how to live together.

Does she complain? She resented. complained that he refused to see her for the last time before he set out on the expedition.

Does she hate? She hated. hated him for giving her hope every time, and ruined Miè with his own hands.

Does she love it? She loves. If you don't love, how can there be so many resentments, how can there be so many struggles?

It's not that she didn't want to give up, but in the face of his pain, her giving up seemed so vulnerable.

Xiyan sighed. Perhaps, she is just afraid that one day, even she will not be able to afford it, so many years of deep love.

"yes, there's nothing to be afraid of." She smiled at the two of them. It's better to leave it like this, since you can't escape, then face it calmly. He has his own beloved to cherish, and she also has her peace to hold onto, since she no longer has the strength to love and hate, she just wants to be able to live freely.5./books/21/21092/

The step of the high gate is a lotus. Didn't he hate her temperament? Then just hate it. She won't change for him again.

She originally thought that she would meet Ning Ruo, but in addition to the sleeping Li Xuan in the house, there were only two servant girls for him to send.

"The slave maid asks for peace to the side Fujin."

"Get up." Xiyan asked in a low voice, "Did the prince just fall asleep?" ”

"If you go back to Fujin, the prince has been asleep for more than half an hour."

"Oh." Xiyan nodded, "Okay, you all go down." ”

She sat beside him, scrutinizing. He looks much better than he did five days ago. Although his face is still not very good-looking, at least it is already a little bloody. Seeing that he suddenly frowned in his sleep, she subconsciously reached out to help him smooth it out. It's just that the fingertips just fell to the center of his eyebrows, but he grabbed them.

"Ning Ruo......" his voice was a little hoarse, "You're back so soon?" ”

Xi Yan's hand couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly withdrew it, stood up and saluted. "Xiyan greets the prince."

He opened his eyes suddenly. "Xiyan?" For a moment, he couldn't figure out if it was a dream or a reality.

"Yes, it's me." She bowed her head stiffly.

When he was finally sure that the person who was standing respectfully in front of him was Xiyan, he still felt a little in a trance.

He should have known that he couldn't quit her.

During the countless sleepless nights of the war, he complained that she ignored every letter he sent home; Every day and night after waking up, he blamed her for ignoring his life and death. But now, as long as she stood here and said a word softly, all his resentment and grievances, all his anger and despair, turned into lovesickness to the bones. Yes, he misses her, he misses her! Just like when she left the palace, he was haunted by her dreams every day, just like he was in the filial piety period but was still worried that she would be left with a sign for participating in the draft, just like he thought that the two of them were destined to have no chance and regretted and annoyed every time...... She had been a part of his life for a long time, and unless this heart had stopped beating, how could he not want her?

"You're here." He braced himself to his feet. "Come here, sit next to me."

"Hmm." She honestly sat down beside him. "Did the prince just look for Sister Ning Ruo? I didn't see her when I came. ”

"I know." Li Xuan said. "She went into the palace with Eniang early in the morning to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, thinking that she hadn't come back yet."

"Oh." No wonder. "How is the prince feeling these days? Does it hurt less? ”

"Much better."

"That's good." She lowered her eyes and didn't say much.

She was very good-looking to-day, and seemed to be much better looking than the last time he saw her before he left home. He turned his head sideways, just in time to see the side of her face. Suddenly remembered: In fact, many years ago, he had discovered this strange trait in her.

At that time, when it came to Gege, who didn't know that Li Xuan had an aunt and cousin, who was born with the beauty of the world and a peerless appearance. It is many of his playmates who have grown up together since childhood, and they often show admiration for him - such a beauty, not everyone can have the opportunity to meet it, let alone in his own home, day and night. It's just that every time others mention it, Li Xuan listens to it in his ears, and at most he smiles lightly, never echoing a word. Others only said that he was close to the water, and he was proud, but they didn't know that he actually had other thoughts.

Ning Ruo is naturally beautiful, and everyone's vision is naturally right, but they don't know the benefits of Xiyan. Ning Ruo's beauty is too strong and unforgettable, so it is talked about. Xiyan is just the opposite, her beauty is very quiet, like a famous flower that grows slowly, seeing it grow day by day, blooming little by little, it is even more ecstatic. He always had the feeling that she seemed to be better looking today than the other day, and in a few days, he would find that she was even better looking than today. He was overjoyed by this discovery: only he knew her beauty!
