Chapter 70: Guarding

The battlefield was full of gunsmoke, the war drums shook the sky, the soldiers of the two armies had already fought together, the sound of the impact of weapons, the sound of flesh and blood being cut was endless, Li Xuan only felt that there was only scarlet in front of him, and the sword in his hand seemed to be no longer under the control of his master, just frantically enjoying the bloodthirsty pleasure, and the people in front of him fell one by one, and he didn't even realize it...... There was only one thing he remembered in his heart, after this battle, he would be able to go home, he would be able to return to her!

"Lord beware!" In the chaos, I don't know who shouted, only to see a sharp arrow break out of the air, aimed at Li Xuan's back, Li Xuan was sideways at this time flashed the sword in front of him, and he didn't hear it, when he turned around, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and when he looked down, the arrow had already entered his chest.

"Picking chess ......" Xiyan wanted to say and stopped.

"What does the master command?" Cai Qi looked at her inquiringly, waiting for her next instruction.

He ...... Didn't you write back lately? ”

Cai Qi was stunned for a moment, "There is indeed no letter to you, as for Fujin...... If the master wants to know, the slave wants to inquire about it......"

"No need." Xiyan said a little uncomfortably. "I ...... Just ask casually. ”

Coincidentally, at dinner, Ning Ruo took the initiative to mention this matter.

"Eniang, you look at the way Xiyan is not giving up." Ning Ruo teased. "Aren't you stupidly happy?"

Lao Fujin looked at Xiyan, and he was also full of smiles. "You're a petty ghost, don't laugh at her."

Xiyan looked at it and asked strangely, "What did my sister say so happy?" ”

"Let's naturally say that our army has a big victory over Dzungaria, and Li Xuan will have to return to the court in a few days......" Ning Ruo looked at Xiyan with a blank expression, "Don't you know?" I thought you were happy about this...... "Ning Ruo said in surprise, "Didn't Li Xuan write to you today?" ”

"I ...... I haven't heard from him in a while. Xiyan's hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help but tighten.

"Oh." Ning Ruo suddenly realized, his face was slightly embarrassed, "Presumably he is coming back soon, and there are too many things to prepare, so I didn't have time to write to you." ”

Xiyan lowered his eyes and nodded carelessly.

"It's been almost half a year since Li Xuan left," Old Fujin sighed, "I'm finally going home." ”

"yes," Ning Ruo agreed. "I've asked the tailor to make a few sets of clothes, and when Li Xuan comes back, we'll all dress up beautifully to pick him up, E-Niang, do you say okay?"

Old Fujin smiled, "I'm old, so I won't join in the fun." It's you and Xiyan, who are the age of flowers, no matter how you dress up, you should decorate it well, Li Xuan is also happy when she sees it. ”

"E-niang is the real beauty." Ning Ruo was in a good mood, and he was also a little playful, "Otherwise, why would our prince be so handsome?" ”

"Just you can talk!" Old Fujin said with a smile.

Xiyan's chopsticks unconsciously fiddled with the food in the bowl, eating it again and again. Is he coming back? Just as pebbles are thrown into a calm lake, the waves of the water are blurred one by one, and they tend to calm down again. It's as if nothing has changed, and as if nothing has changed. Xiyan only felt some strange feelings in her heart, and she couldn't say whether it was bitter or sweet for a while.

………………………………………………………………

Li Xuan is back.

Although Xiyan has brewed 10,000 scenarios of the two of them seeing each other in her heart, the reality is still very different from her imagination. When he was carried into Lang Feng Tang, the scene could be described as chaotic.5./books/21/21067/

Southern Song Dynasty Spring Festival Gala. Ning Ruo cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and Lao Fujin also fainted several times: the wound was broken, the high fever did not go away, and the person was also groggy and confused. After diagnosis, several doctors said that if they could survive tonight, they would be able to save their lives.

Xiyan sat silently in front of the bed. Ning Ruo finally couldn't hold it anymore just now, and fainted crying, and now she was the only one left by his side.

"Doctors, please go and wait outside," Xiyan said, "I want to be alone with the prince for a while." ”

"Yes, Wechen is guarding outside. If it is ......" the next words are not so easy to say.

"I understand." Xiyan nodded.

"Wechen retired."

"Go out too." She said to Xia Shuang and Chunxue.

"Gege ......"

"Go ahead." Xi Yan's face had already turned to Li Xuan.

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."

Xiyan didn't know if her heart was too hard and ruthless, but at this juncture of life and death, she felt surprisingly calm in her heart. Li Xuan'an lay quietly on the bed, he had been tortured by the pain for days, but his face was abnormally flushed because of the high fever that did not go away. Xiyan gently wiped him one by one with a handkerchief dipped in warm water, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, cheeks, and chin. Her movements were very slow, as if she was afraid of waking him up, and as if she wanted to keep his facial features in her heart forever.

In fact, why remember what he looks like?

Xiyan couldn't help but smile.

yes, how could she forget?

When the two first met, he gave her a handkerchief that was as warm as jade;

gets along day and night, and he is always angry with her;

She broke into a catastrophe, and he was ruthless when he left;

Reunion, the appearance of his careless mockery;

On the wedding night, he was violent and perverse, biting and trampling;

The child had a miscarriage, and he carefully pampered and cared for him;

He said, "Xiyan, take good care of yourself, wait for me to come back......

How could she forget?

She loved him to the heart, and he stabbed her to the bone. It's just that now, it doesn't matter.

"Brother Li Xuan," she leaned over to him and whispered, "Don't be afraid. I'll be with you always. In the past, she often blamed Eniang in her heart, why did she go with Amma, let her young self send people under the fence, and wander away. But today, she was finally relieved. Perhaps, it's really too difficult to live alone.

"You say...... After a person dies, will there really be a bridge? She smiled softly, tears glistening in her eyes, "If there is really a bridge of helplessness, if there is really Meng Po soup, I must drink one more bowl," warm tears slid down the back of his hand, "I will forget you completely...... In the next life, let's not meet again...... Otherwise...... It also hurts too much. ”

When the child passed, Ning Ruo's spirit was also a little better, and she came over with the support of the maid and stayed in front of the bed with her.

Time passed little by little, except for the fact that the two of them needed to cooperate with each other to feed Li Xuan medicine every other hour, at other times, neither of them said a word. Because Ning Ruo came, the position closest to Li Xuan was naturally given to her, and Xiyan had to sit down and watch distractedly.

When it was white in the east, Ning Ruo suddenly heard a soft cry in the quiet room.
