Chapter 127: The Past

[Today's chapter was presented earlier, I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!] Happy Valentine's Day! 】

When Ruo An heard Leng Chen say this, the emotion in her heart was self-evident, she looked at Leng Chen with a shy face, Leng Chen reached out and dragged her into his arms, put his head on her shoulder, and hugged Ruo An from behind.

"There's something I've always wanted to ask you...... Ruo'an said softly, she couldn't see Leng Chen's face clearly at this time, she only felt that her shoulders moved, and a warm voice came from her ears: "Hmm...... You say......"

The breath exhaled when he spoke hit Ruo'an's ears, itching unbearably, Ruo'an's heartbeat was a little faster, and he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths and calm down and said: "You blocked the arrow for me that day, how did you pounce from the wheelchair?" ”

Leng Chen paused, and then smiled: "I don't know where the courage of Lu Dao came from, but I didn't want you to get hurt, so I pounced on ......."

Joan shook his head: "I don't mean this, I mean your legs...... Since you can pounce on me and save me, I wonder if there will be a chance of recovery? ”

"It was just an accident...... Leng Chen said lightly, Ruo'an asked, "Can you tell me how you got hurt?" Maybe we can cure it? ”

Leng Chen didn't speak for a while, and yawned before he left: "There are some things that I don't want to talk about for the time being, and when I want to talk about it, I will naturally tell you, okay?" Don't ask, I'm tired......"

Seeing that Leng Chen was reluctant to say, Ruo An said that he was panicked in his heart, but he didn't ask again, so he said: "Then you rest, I'll help you cover the quilt ......" wanted to get up, but found that Leng Chen didn't let go, still firmly hugged his waist, and before Ruo An opened his mouth to ask, Leng Chen leaned his head over: "Don't go, stay with me, okay?" ”

Ruo'an's body stiffened. A fierce battle of ideas began to be made in his mind, what did he mean by this? What does he want to do? I guess I was thinking about that...... No, he's still sick, and he's not married yet? No, no, no, it can't be like this......

Ruo'an muttered, Leng Chen let go of his hand curiously, leaned his head over and asked, "What's wrong?" What do you want to think again? ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! Joan stood up, too fast, and overturned the basin on the side, and the water was scattered all over the ground.

Aunt Qiao'er heard the voice. Immediately rushed in and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Leng Chen smiled: "It's okay, Ruo'an accidentally knocked over the basin, don't be nervous......"

"Well, Your Highness doesn't have anything to do...... Aunt Qiao'er said, and stepped forward to clean up the ground with Ruo'an. Ruo'an was visibly absent-minded, and his face was flushed. It almost burned to the neck. Although she is a modern person, she is very accustomed to seeing too many things about men and women, but she is a very traditional person in her bones, even her fiancΓ© Gao Tianze, who has been engaged, has never had the opportunity to get close to her, this time Leng Chen is so ambiguously invited. Isn't that what you're thinking......

The more Ruo'an thought about it, the more chaotic she became, she didn't even notice that Aunt Qiao'er was leaving, and seeing Ruo'an stunned, Leng Chen asked, "What are you thinking?" Why are you so distracted? ”

"Ah...... Not. Nothing, huh...... It's not early, Your Highness, you can rest......" If you are stupid and turn around, Leng Chen coughed lightly: "Don't you want to stay with me?" ”

Ruo'an was stunned for a moment, and the entanglement in his heart couldn't help but smile and said: "No, Your Highness, you just woke up, your body is too weak, and it is not suitable for strenuous exercise, so it's better to rest well......"

"Strenuous exercise? What strenuous exercise? Leng Chen asked curiously, Ruo'an was shocked, could it be that he was thinking too much? Leng Chen didn't mean that at all? Just want to stay for yourself? I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I thought of this, and blamed myself for being unhealthy.

"No, nothing...... Your Highness, rest, I'll go put out the lights......" Ruoan said and blew out a few candles one after another, leaving only a red candle on the table and burning slowly, the candlelight was very faint and not dazzling, but it seemed quite ambiguous.

Ruoan walked to the side of the bed, bent down to cover the quilt for him, Leng Chen took her hand and said, "Lie down with me, it's too cold outside, your body is too thin......"

Ruo'an was instantly petrified...... Such an invitation...... Are you really not thinking too much?

Seeing Ruo'an standing there stunned, Leng Chen smiled: "What? Afraid that I won't be able to eat you? Don't be afraid, I won't take advantage of people's danger, I just don't want you to be cold outside, I know how you're guarding me these days...... Come on, my bed is big enough......"

Ruo'an was a little embarrassed, but he was also relieved to hear him say that, so he lay down obediently, and the two lay opposite each other, although they were separated by middle clothes, but each other's body temperature gradually penetrated into each other's bodies.

"Does this scene sound familiar?" Leng Chen asked softly, Ruo An nodded, how could he not be familiar, in order to avoid Tian Rong, the matter of hiding in Leng Chen's quilt is still vivid, and he still stepped on his futon...... It's funny when I think about it.

"Isn't this more like ......" Leng Chen said, holding Ruo'an's hand with his fingers crossed, his palm was a little cold, Ruo'an was very distressed: "Why are your hands so cold?" Is there anything wrong with your body? ”

Leng Chen shook his head: "I guess it's because the poison hasn't been cleared yet, don't worry, I'm fine......"

Ruo An nodded, leaned his head over, leaned on Leng Chen's chest, the hair touched Leng Chen's neck, the faint fragrance stimulated his nerves, and there was a feeling in his body that he was about to move, he hurriedly controlled himself not to think in that direction, but Ruo An beside him opened his mouth: "Leng Chen...... Can I just call you that in the future? ”

"Well, of course you can ......"

Ruoan continued: "Do you know the way, when I was a child, I often fantasized about growing up, being able to wear a beautiful wedding dress, marrying a personable prince charming, this dream was once shattered, but now I met you, and I picked up this dream again......"

"Wedding dress? Is it the meaning of a wedding dress? Leng Chen asked, Ruo An smiled, she forgot that there was no wedding dress here, so she quickly changed her words: "Yes, it's a wedding dress, in my hometown, this is called a wedding dress, it all means the same......"

"Oh......" Leng Chen nodded as if he didn't understand and asked, "By the way, we are going to get married, so let's invite your family with us......"

When Ruo'an heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No need, my family is no longer there, and I am the only one left in this world." Of course, if you go to pick up Ni Ruoju's family, I don't object to it, after all, I am still their daughter now......"

When Leng Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel distressed, reached out and put his arm around her waist, and hugged her tightly: "I can feel the pain of losing my loved ones, just like when I lost my mother, that feeling will be piercing pain whenever I think about it......"

Ruoan raised his head and asked, "What happened back then?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Leng Chen smiled, reached out and stroked her hair and said, "Do you really want to hear it?" But it's all bad memories......"

"It doesn't matter. I want to know Lu Dao, I want to know you......" Ruo'an's eyes were earnest, and Leng Chen couldn't resist Ruo'an's plea and responded: "Okay, then I'll tell you, I have been buried in my heart for these secrets." This is the first time I've brought it out and talked about it......"

Ruoan stared at Leng Chen intently, waiting for him to tell the story.

"Actually. I originally had a younger brother. It's a pity that the child was stillborn before term, my mother was sad and transitioned, and the root of the disease was left in the moon, and her health has been bad, I still remember that it was a snowy winter, and the queen mother did not come back for a long time after going out. At that time, I was a child, I didn't understand anything, and after not seeing my mother for a long time, I wanted to go out to find it, and I didn't wait to go out. I saw the queen mother being carried by the palace people, and she was sent to the palace wet...... At that time, I was frightened, and I found out that my mother had fallen into the water......"

"Overboard in winter?" Ruoan asked, Leng Chen nodded: "Later, the queen mother said that she accidentally walked on the surface of the lake that did not freeze before she fell into the water, but I suspected at that time that things were not so simple......

"And then?" Joan asked.

Later, He Hongxin came, for the queen mother, at first it was very good, although the queen mother's body was weak, it was gradually improving, but unfortunately one day after lunch, the queen mother suddenly said that she had a headache, so she lay down to rest, and never woke up...... Ho Hongxin's statement at the time was that the root of the disease left in the moon and the cold caused by the water caused pneumonia to cause a high fever, and the body was already weak, so he would be unconscious......"

"Isn't it already getting better, why did it suddenly ...... again?"

Leng Chen smiled: "You also think it's weird, right?" Although I was a child at the beginning, I still understand such an obvious truth, how can a person who is almost good suddenly fall again, not arouse suspicion? After the queen mother went, I begged my father to thoroughly investigate the cause of the death of the queen mother, which led to He Hongxin's later confession, he said that it was his dereliction of duty that prescribed the wrong medicine, which led to the early death of the queen mother. When my father heard the news, he was furious, and then he was condemned to death, and he was already extremely gracious without the nine clans......"

"You think something is wrong, so you quietly find a death row inmate to replace Ho Hongxin, in order to find out the truth one day......"

Leng Chen nodded: "That's right, I didn't have any strength at the beginning, and I relied on General Huo Lao to help in secret, but it's a pity that He Hongxin didn't mention who the mastermind was in prison, and he stopped all the fault on himself, and this level is more than ten years......"

"Are you sure it was instigated, not accidental?"

"I'm sure! Because I saw with my own eyes that the man handed over a bag of things to Ho Hung Xin! It's a pity that it was too dark, and I didn't see the man's face clearly! Otherwise, the murderer would not have been allowed to go unpunished for so long......"

"No wonder...... At the beginning, you insisted on leaving He Hongxin, because you wanted to keep a witness......"

"That's right, it's a pity, the person is dead, and there is no proof of death......"

"I have wronged you, I must have suffered a lot to survive in a difficult situation at such a young age......" Ruoan was very distressed by Leng Chen, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke his cheek, Leng Chen smiled lightly: "No matter how hard it is, it's worth it, at least I have you by my side......"

One sentence moved Ruo'an, and feeling the change in Ruo'an's mood, Leng Chen scratched her nose lovingly and said, "I said that it was some bad memories, and it made you uncomfortable now, right?" ”

"No, it will only make me love you more......"

"What do you say? Love me? ”

Ruoan nodded solemnly: "Well, I love you......"

Leng Chen smiled lightly, kissed Ruo'an lightly on the forehead, and hugged her tightly, but secretly swore in his heart that he must make the woman in his arms happy and live up to his lovesickness in this life...... (To be continued......)
