Chapter 22: Su Xuan
The man behind him also seemed surprised, the girl only resisted fiercely under the initial fright, and now it was like a quiet little fox, quietly lying on his chest.
When her mouth was first covered, Ye Jinqing's mind was blank, and she struggled instinctively, but after the man restrained her from behind, she caught a glimpse of the man's cuffs.
The dark cuffs are embroidered with dark patterns, and there is a faint smell of incense. Although she can't name the smell, she knows the preciousness of this fragrance.
Seeing Shen Li follow the group of palace people farther and farther, she finally faded out of her eyes. Ye Jinqing moved slightly, and the originally tight shackles were also released. She turned, so close that even as she tilted her head, she could only see a vague but delicate side face.
Ye Jinqing tilted her head and took a few steps back, and the facial features of that face gradually became clear in her eyes.
Su Xuan looked at the little girl in front of her who was looking at her up, although there was still panic in her eyes because she had just been suddenly restrained, but her whole eyes were very clear.
It is said that Ye Qingyuan's daughter is very similar to Ye Qingyuan, but he doesn't realize it. Ye Qingyuan gave him the feeling that it was a calm pool of water, and there would be no ripples, but the little girl in front of him was like a depressed spring. It seems to be calm, but it is turbulent inside, and he seems to want to see her really when she loses her calm mask.
"Su Xuan."
As soon as Ye Jinqing opened her mouth, she frowned slightly, she didn't know what to call the man in front of her.
"Can you please take me to my mother?" Ye Jinqing didn't make it clear, if Su Xuan was really her person, she should know what she meant.
Su Xuan didn't say a word about Ye Jinqing's behavior of calling him by his name, and straightened out his clothes that were a little messy because of the panic just now.
"Ye Qingyuan only asked me to take you away at the banquet. Come to think of it, some people are already looking for you in private. ”
Thinking of this, Su Xuan smiled, and was still worried about how to find an excuse not to make people suspicious to get Ye Jinqing out of the banquet. Unexpectedly, on the way back to the banquet, he saw her about to call Shen Li.
Afraid of Ye Jinqing's shout, it will be even more difficult to take her away quietly. Yes, and he didn't think much about it, so he stepped forward and covered her mouth.
Sure enough, it was him, Ye Jinqing thought. But according to Su Xuan, the father only asked him to take her, does that mean that the father has other arrangements there.
Suddenly feeling the figure in front of him move, Su Xuan squatted down. Before he could figure out what Su Xuan was going to do, he saw the corner of his skirt being lifted. The crimson cloth was gently wiped on the knobby hands, and the crimson blood stained the crimson cloth, like red lotus blooming in the flames, and it didn't feel abrupt.
After seeing Su Xuan's movements, Ye Jinqing felt a faint fishy smell in his mouth. He stretched out his little pink tongue and licked her lips, and sure enough, an even fishier smell of blood poured into her mouth.
Ye Jinqing glanced at Su Xuan's hand in a sneering manner, and her circle of tooth marks was impressive. Ye Jinqing opened his eyes uncomfortably, seeing Ye Jinqing's appearance, Su Xuan snorted slightly, and put the bitten hand in his cuff.
"Let's go, let's go out of the palace with me first, I'm afraid there will be some trouble later."
Saying that he walked forward first, Ye Jinqing just wanted to follow, but the figure in front of him suddenly froze, turned around, and Ye Jinqing's whole person was buried in Su Xuan's chest.
As soon as Ye Jinqing wanted to turn her head, Su Xuan stretched out her hand first, pressed her head and quipped: "There are some things in this palace that you still don't want to know, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you." ”
Although Su Xuan said it with a smile, Ye Jinqing knew that this was also his warning. I think it should be some secret passages in the palace or something, although I don't know why he knows this, but now that her safety is all on him, she lies quietly on him, and the tip of her nose is full of the faint scent of smoke.
Although it was winter, Su Xuan was still wearing thin clothes. The warmth exhaled by the little girl in her arms slowly penetrated the clothes, warming the skin that was clinging to the clothes.
Su Xuan looked down and saw that the little girl in his arms had fallen asleep for some time, maybe she had been in the dark for a long time, her whole little face was flushed, and her small mouth was slightly open, like a small fish.
When Ye Jinqing looked at him before, he also noticed that she seemed to have walked a lot before meeting him. Not to mention that the shoes on his feet were covered with mud, the broken hair was also attached to his forehead, and there were several obvious cuts on his clothes. He must have been so tired that he fell asleep in his arms.
The whole body was sore, and the eyelids were very heavy, but Ye Jinqing held on and sat up from the bed. The surrounding furnishings were all unfamiliar to her, and she knew that this should be Su Mansion.
Ye Jinqing was a little annoyed, why did she fall asleep, and her mother didn't know what was going on.
She lifted the quilt and saw that the clothes she wore at the banquet had been changed, and now she was wearing only a white undershirt. There was a set of purple clothes and a hosta next to the bed, which I thought were prepared for myself.
Hurriedly shook off the clothes, only to find that it was a man's clothes. Worried about his mother, Ye Jinqing quickly changed it. The hair was originally scattered, Ye Jinqing was in a hurry, and walked out after putting on her shoes.
"Awake?"
As soon as he was halfway there, he heard Su Xuan's voice. It turned out that the outside of the bedroom here was actually a study. Su Xuan was sitting at his desk at the moment, with a pile of open papers in front of him.
After reading the paperwork in his hand, Su Xuan raised his head and looked at the figure in front of him in a little surprise.
Ye Jinqing, who was wearing that scarlet dress, had already begun to have the charm of a girl. At this moment, the girl in front of her was dressed in men's clothes, and the girlish charm was suppressed at once, like a delicate teenager. But the black hair that was not tied up gave her a kind of androgynous temperament.
Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "This is my residence, and you live in the room just now." ”
"How's my mother, and how long am I going to stay here?" Ye Jinqing first nodded obediently, and then asked. "Your mother went out of the city smoothly, and she should go to your father's. But I've had an accident here, and now the gates are sealed, so I'll send you out when this time is over. ”
Hearing that her mother had already gone to her father's place, Ye Jinqing was relieved, hesitated for a while, and then asked.
"Then no one will suspect that I live here?"
This is also what Ye Jinqing is worried about, even if Su Xuan's authority is great, it is not as big as the emperor, is it really good to live in Su Mansion so blatantly.
