Chapter 48: His Chess Game

"Nope." Cheng Jingxi replied quickly, and at the same time gently struggled out, her eyes drifting left and right, but she didn't look at Ye Huaiyu.

Ye Huaiyu sighed secretly in her heart and held her face, "Do you really not want to?" ”

Cheng Jingxi nodded, and said with twelve points of honesty: "I really don't want to!" ”

"Oh, then I'm so sad." Ye Huaiyu looked happy.

Cheng Jingxi smiled, stopped joking with him, looked at his face, and asked, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Ye Huaiyu blinked her eyes and asked her with a smile: "Then do I mean to say that it hurts or not?" ”

"Tell the truth."

"It doesn't hurt," Ye Huaiyu said, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, "Tell the truth, tell the truth." ”

Like you, it will be all duplicity.

Cheng Jingxi's spirit was tense for six days, guarding Ye Huaiyu inch by inch, and now that he finally woke up, her heart also relaxed at this moment, "You scared me the day you came back, didn't you know that there was so much blood in your back?" ”

"I'm in a hurry to come back to see you, how can I care about that?"

Cheng Jingxi looked at him intently, his expression was mixed with many thoughts, but a variety of emotions only passed from his eyes, and before he could stay, he disappeared in an instant, Cheng Jingxi's eyes turned from bright to dark, and he hurriedly picked up his reason before the tenderness and sweetness collapsed.

She couldn't. Cheng Jingxi thought in her heart.

Her younger brother, who was sitting far away in the deep palace, drew a circle of prison for her on the spot, and she didn't know how to get rid of it, how could she come up with the idea that it would not benefit anyone in this situation, and harm Ye Huaiyu.

"I can't run here, why are you in a hurry? If I lose my life because of this, how can I explain it to my parents? ”

Ye Huaiyu's somewhat boiling heart seemed to suddenly stop the fire, and gradually cooled down.

"I was injured and died outside, and I have nothing to do with you, so you can just tell them what happened, and what do you have to explain?"

"But after all, the last person you saw when you came back was me, and the merits all depend on my mouth, how can I be trusted?"

"Then it's all your business, my Highness," Ye Huaiyu said, "I was already cold at that time." ”

Cheng Jingxi's heart throbbed like a whip that had been turned over and turned upside down, she nodded, and repeated in despair, "Yes, you will be dead by then." ”

The warm narrative between the two came to an end, both of them may have the quality of talking about the death of the day, the first moment was still in the warm reminiscence of parting thoughts, and the next moment you can come and go to and fro, there is no sentence from the sincerity.

Ye Huaiyu knew why she trampled his true feelings under her feet several times and crushed them, and she also knew that this was an unsolvable problem for the time being, so he looked at her sadly, looked at her retreated, looked at her duplicity, and just didn't tell her clearly.

You can always wait. He told himself.

That night, Ye Huaiyu, who had slept for six days, couldn't sleep very well, and Cheng Jingxi's snooze during the day also caused him to be sleepy at night, and the two of them lay on the couch with big eyes and stared at each other, and no one knew what to say to alleviate this embarrassment.

He couldn't do things between husband and wife when he first recovered from a serious illness, which made Cheng Jingxi feel really regretful.

Ye Huaiyu was powerless, and he also thought the same.

After thinking for a long time, she asked him, "Why are you hurt?" ”

"It's inevitable in a fight," Ye Huaiyu said, remembering something again, and asked her, "How does Your Highness know that I'm having a bad time over there?" I also secretly sent someone to help me. ”

Cheng Jingxi lowered her eyes and made a look that she didn't want to say, "This matter is a long story, how do you know that I sent it?" ”

Ye Huaiyu remembered that the hairpin was put back into Cheng Jingxi's dressing box by him when he woke up, and said: "When that person came, he was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, so he handed me a hairpin commonly used by His Highness." ”

"Which one?"

"I put it on His Highness's dresser," Ye Huaiyu finished speaking, and a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his heart, "Your Highness is...... Don't remember? ”

"Yes." Cheng Jingxi said lightly.

It turned out that the carriage accident that day was not accidental, but man-made.

It turned out that he had really made sufficient preparations early in the morning, carefully designed a set route for her, and waited for her to go in that direction, following all his thoughts, and making her feel that it was her own intelligence and sensitivity, but she didn't know that the fact was that she was clever.

It turned out that he had already started the chess game since he had taken out the sunspot from the Go jar very early, perhaps inadvertently, or even earlier, when the gang of bandits in Anqu County began to run rampant.

They were all in the middle of the game, and he was a chess player from beginning to end, and he was a loner, playing with his left and right hands.

"The 1,000 elite soldiers sent to me by the emperor were all killed before they reached Anqu County, and until now I don't know who the name of the group that killed them was, and where they came from." Ye Huaiyu didn't bother with the hairpin anymore, but started a new story, when he killed the bandit leader that day, he didn't find anyone related to that group of people, because the mask was different.

Cheng Jingxi thought for a while and replied to him: "The emperor has just recently ascended the throne, and there must be no one under his hands who can use it, and the thousand elite soldiers may really be able to handle all of them at the moment, and it is unknown whether they can be effective, are they really so weak and vulnerable?" ”

Both of them were lying on their backs on the couch at the moment, so they couldn't see each other's expressions, and could only make a rough judgment based on what they said, Ye Huaiyu listened to Cheng Jingxi's exculpatory words, and temporarily suppressed many doubts in his heart, and replied to her: "They almost surrendered on the spot." After thinking about it, he said, "If I hadn't run in time and escaped before I was betrayed by them, my life might have been lost there, and I might have died without a body." ”

Cheng Jingxi's heart froze, and the hand under the quilt was clenched suddenly, but it suddenly let go again, because Ye Huaiyu didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and after saying that sentence, he put his hand on her hand as if he was looking for some support.

"You are alone," Cheng Jingxi said with difficulty, "How did you escape so many people?" ”

"Of course, it depends on my prudence," Ye Huaiyu said lightly, not going into detail about what kind of thrilling links there were, "Later, I caught someone, although it didn't play a role, but it was better than a person thinking nonsense." ”

Cheng Jingxi only listened to the second half of the words, and said: "Cranky? ”

"That's right," Ye Huaiyu gently held her hand, the slender and soft hand was stained with slightly cool sweat, he rubbed slowly, silently, "I want to think who those people are, who revealed my whereabouts, I have already done a good job of camouflage, why there will be someone intercepting in the middle of the road, and it is obviously not for money." ”

Cheng Jingxi's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and the sweat in her palms became even worse.

What are you nervous about? Ye Huaiyu silently thought in his heart, is it me that you betrayed? But why did you send someone to answer me after betraying me and help me complete my mission? Is it because you still miss a trace of old love?

Why?

Ye Huaiyu asked her in her heart.

Did I get in your way and get you revenge for your misdeeds in the house?

In spite of oneself. Cheng Jingxi flashed the word in her heart.

Her good brother only needs to flick the calm surface of the lake with his hand, and he can stir up a small wave.

Cheng Jingxi couldn't catch his words, so she had to be silent, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Ye Huaiyu was very understanding, and asked her intimately, "Does Your Highness want to sleep?" ”

"I'm a little sleepy." She replied to him tiredly, and turned her back on the way.

Ye Huaiyu looked at her quietly for a long time, and then turned his back to go.

As if there was some foreshadowing, Cheng Jingxi suddenly felt that the distance between them seemed to be a little farther away.

Ye Huaiyu was seriously injured and had not recovered, and the emperor sent a will, saying that he should live and raise for the time being, the bandits on the left and right have been cleared, and there is no need to worry about the aftermath of the aftermath, and his health is important.

Therefore, Ye Huaiyu was able to recuperate quietly at home, during which the eldest brother and second brother in the family came to see him and said a lot of inconsequential words, Ye Huaiyu used the same words to dispel, but the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger.

He felt as if his brain had broken down in this serious injury, and he couldn't think of many things clearly, and he suddenly felt as if everyone had a reason for his life, but there was no real evidence to judge it.

If it is a coincidence, it is too tacit, but if it is said that it is a multi-party cooperation, then his life is too valuable.

Besides, when and how did they get online?

Ye Huaiyu intellectually felt that this guess was not valid, but once people had doubts about something, they began to doubt everywhere, and they felt suspicious everywhere.

The big handsome mansion, he has always stayed out of the way, and someone wants to pull him into it and place him on the edge of the whirlpool.

Cheng Jingxi has been wandering around the house in the past few days, saying that she has not been in good health recently and wants to move around more, Ye Huaiyu sometimes follows her, and he also needs it.

Sometimes he would sneak out so that no one could find out.

He noticed that Cheng Jingxi often went to a wall in the backyard, in his absence, of course.

So he went, too.

As a result, he discovered the anomaly on the wall, and although there were only a few traces left, he could always find clues from them.

Outsiders had quietly come to the house, and he didn't know anything about it.

Ye Huaiyu stood quietly in place for a long time, then turned around and did not go back to the house, but went outside the house.

Although he has always stayed out of the way, he is not ignorant of everything.

It's not too difficult to look up this little thing.

Cheng Jingxi woke up from a nap and found that Ye Huaiyu was not there, and the shadow guard next to the emperor was sitting in the house.

She suddenly pulled down her face, "Bold! ”

The shadow guard was very good at looking at the eyes, and when he saw this, he knelt down hurriedly, "The princess forgives her sins, and the emperor's order is difficult to disobey." ”

"What are you up to?"

Shadow Wei said: "Back to Your Highness, the emperor asked his subordinates to come and see His Highness." ”

"See what I do? Look at me......" Cheng Jingxi suddenly stopped talking and didn't say what was in her heart.

The Shadow Guard hung his head, pretending not to hear anything.

"Since you're here," Cheng Jingxi said, "just do something for me!" ”
