Chapter 65: Scheming
Dinner was for everyone. This is the second time that Xiyan has eaten with the whole family since she came back, but unlike the last night she went home, even Li Xuan rushed back from outside in advance tonight to eat with Eniang and his wife. After eating this reunion dinner, he is about to leave, and the atmosphere at the table is inevitably a little sad. Only Xiyan was still as usual - or more silent than usual, not only was the banquet silent, but she didn't even raise her head much. Li Xuan didn't know what was going on, and he was also very depressed. They talked well that night, although she didn't respond in the end, but he could feel his concern, why did he ignore him again after only a few days?
After dinner, Li Xuan went to sit in his mother's room for a while as usual, and he was going to leave tomorrow, and Lao Fujin gave him another good advice.5./books/21/21085/

Li Xuan's gaze inadvertently fell on a small plate of snacks on the table. That plate of dim sum was somewhat similar to what he had eaten in the Xiyan room of Niu Hulu Mansion, but Xiyan's cooking was not as delicate as this, and it was far from so many tricks, but it was the best thing he had ever eaten......
Old Fujin also followed his gaze, smiled knowingly, and didn't break it. "Okay, don't spend it with me, Ming'er will leave, go and accompany Ning Ruo and Xiyan."

"It's all arranged?" Ning Ruo asked calmly.
"Back to the master," Cai Hua whispered. "Cai Shi is there to guard. This prince may already be on his way. ”
Ning Ruo nodded, "Help me put on makeup." ”
"Yes."
"Wait," she frowned, gesturing at the snack on the table, "take it out and throw it away, so you don't have to be an eyesore." ”
"Yes."

Li Xuan came out of Eniang's house, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while. In his selfish heart, he naturally hoped to be able to accompany Xiyan on the last night before departure, but Xiyan's expression was so cold during dinner that he couldn't help but hesitate.
Li Xuan also knew in his heart that it was not easy for Xiyan to open his heart and accept himself again. It's like these days, although he will go to the Chenxi Pavilion every night to stay for a while, but when he goes, isn't Xiyan already asleep? Of course, this is because of the medicine, but if you really want to dig deeper, there is actually only one reason - she doesn't want to see him.
Li Xuan was still hesitating, so he saw Cai Shi coming over in a hurry not far away, "The slave maid greets the prince." ”
"What's the flustered about?"
"Fu Jin is crying so much, if you are free...... Can you go over and see ......?"
"What's wrong?" He asked worriedly. I saw her depressed face tonight, and she didn't eat a few bites of food, "What is the reason?" ”
"I think it's because the prince is about to go on an expedition," Cai Shi said cautiously, "Fu Jin is worried in his heart. ”
Li Xuan thought for a moment and strode towards Langfeng Hall.

When Li Xuan arrived, Ning Ruo was crying silently. Ning Ruo was already very beautiful, but now such a picture of pear blossoms with rain would break anyone's heart if they saw it.
"Ning Ruo......" he walked over, "What's the matter?" ”
"No, nothing, why are you here?" She hurriedly wiped away her tears, looked behind Li Xuan, and asked with a straight face, "Who brought the prince here?" ”
"The master is angry, and it is the slave and maid who see that the master is sad, so they make their own opinions......"
"Presumptuous-" Ning Ruo's eyes turned a little red again, "Didn't I say that I was not allowed to disturb the prince?" ”
"Alright, you go down." Li Xuan waved his hand at Cai Shi, and reassured Ning Ruodao, "Where is it disturbing me, I was about to come to see you." ”
"Really...... Ning Ruo bit her lip, "You're leaving tomorrow, I thought...... You're going to ...... there."
"Of course it's true. You are my Fujin, why can't I come? Li Xuan said softly, "Don't cry, if you cry again, your eyes will be swollen." ”
Ning Ruo shook his head and hugged him, "Li Xuan, I'm really afraid of ......" Tears fell on his well-textured clothes, making him feel a little emotional in his heart.5./books/21/21086/
Daughter of the Bloodline. "I'm afraid you'll be in danger, I'm afraid you'll be hurt, I'm afraid I'll not see you all these days...... I'm so scared......"
"Don't be afraid," Li Xuan coaxed, "You just have to wait for me at home with peace of mind, I'll be back as soon as the war is over, okay?" ”
"Hmm......" Ning Ruo cried silently, "you must ...... Come back safely...... I...... I'll wait for you...... Waiting for you ......"
Li Xuan's heart hurt.
I want to hear Xiyan say that it is difficult to wait for him, but he can't repay more people who love him.
"Okay, you wait for me, and I'll come back unscathed. Let's be okay tonight, okay? He cupped his wife's cheek and wiped tears from her face. Ning Ruo saw that his expression was complicated, and he didn't think much about it, and gently leaned his lips, and her lips kissed his eyebrows, eyes, and nose...... fell on his lips. Feeling his breathing getting shorter and shorter, Ning Ruo's hand gently untied his belt......
Xiyan, of course, I hope you are doing well, but I don't like that you are better off than me...... She didn't think about it anymore, the person had already been picked up by him......

The candle on the desk made a "ziz" sound, as if it was about to burn to the end.
"Gege," Chunxue called softly. "Gege!"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Xiyan came back to his senses.
"It's late......" she whispered in embarrassment.
"Oh, yes," Xiyan smiled, looking back at Xia Shuang, who was dozing off on the side, "It's time to sleep." ”
"You haven't drunk the medicine tonight, slave ...... now"
"It doesn't matter if you drink less," Xiyan said lightly, "you guys go to sleep quickly." ”
"What about you?"
"I'm going to sleep too." Xiyan pretended to smile easily.
Xia Shuang was still in a daze when she was woken up, thinking that it was dawn, and she was finally dragged away by the spring snow. Xiyan sat at the table in a daze, watching the burning candle become shorter and shorter, and the candle oil really dripped down like a tear.
He's not coming.
How could he come on such an important day? He should have accompanied Fu Jin. Xiyan suddenly felt very hungry, and grabbed a piece of snack from the table and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Although it looks the most gentle and polite, it is ...... in my bones Sometimes it's too cold. "...... "E-niang has already reprimanded him, if he doesn't treat you well, even I won't pay attention to him in the future." …… He is not indifferent to everyone. If it was someone he cared about, he wouldn't be willing to make her sad no matter what......
Is it that even he is good to her, just because he has to be good to her......
The sweet snacks and tears in my mouth were bitter and astringent......
Suddenly there was a light rain in the night, and the candles in the house were burned out, and it was already dark. Xiyan was still lying on the table, not asleep. She heard the sound of the rain outside, and walked out blankly with a blank coat. The rain fell on his face, and his mind was much clearer. Xiyan raised her head. There are so few stars tonight.
She smiled bitterly. He said that he was willing to accompany her to climb the tree to see the stars, but did he know that what she really wanted to see was never the stars. At that time, she was just too attached to leaning on his shoulder, not noisy, quiet and beautiful. I also cherish every time I jump off the tree with my eyes closed, he hugs him carefully......
Actually, it was she who couldn't let go. It's just her.
