Chapter 172: Meeting
Sheng Changning waited for a long time with a heart, although Zuo Yan had already come over to greet her, saying that the letter she wrote had been sent out, and nine times out of ten it was in Shen Yue's hands.
But Sheng Changning still couldn't put his mind at ease.
Shen Yue's temperament is stubborn, she doesn't know that when she first saw her goodbye, after she returned to the palace, she could still hear gossip such as "The second son of the Shen family is looking for a noble girl who wears a curtain fence to play......".
At that time, she did everything possible to hide her identity, she thought, the teenager at that time might just be a whim.
But who would have thought that the young man with a good demeanor back then had been looking for the woman for many years.
Recalling these old things, Sheng Changning was a little stunned in his heart, when he said goodbye, she was called a noble prince in Beijing, and she couldn't help but miss a beat in her heart, after all, after she passed away ten years ago, she couldn't see her for the last time.
But fate is so wonderful.
Going around and around, Shen Yue is a little more calm and temperamental than the young man at that time, but the spirit and flamboyance in his bones have never changed.
She was born again, and he was by her side.
……
Sheng Changning raised his hand and gently closed the window, the gentle "click" sound was exceptionally clear in the silence, his thoughts were broken, and the twilight in front of him was also covered, Sheng Changning withdrew his gaze.
The night was already dark, Sheng Changning walked around the screen to the bed, Bai Lu lifted the lampshade on the candlestick next to the couch, and stirred the wick to let the afterglow of the lamp and candle scatter.
Seeing that everything was packed up for her, Sheng Changning casually picked up a thicker jacket and gave it to her, "It's windy at night, don't get cold anymore." ”
Bai Lu still had palpitations about her fever last time, and since she understood Sheng Changning's words, she hurriedly took the big flicker, and waited for Sheng Changning to lie down, and then she withdrew from the cabinet.
There was no movement outside, and Sheng Changning, who was lying on the bed, slowly relaxed her heart, she was just afraid, afraid that Shen Yue would not listen to her persuasion, and insisted on coming to see her.
Sheng Changning closed his eyes, although he felt relieved, but his heart was empty for no reason.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered the man who smiled brightly in front of her, who was always by her side when she was in danger, and who was willing to protect her at all times.
Sheng Changning opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, she forced herself to calm down, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well this night if she continued with this momentum......
Just as he was thinking about it, a quick and weak shout suddenly came from the outer pavilion, as if someone had suddenly choked his throat when he was halfway through the call......
A thought flashed in his heart, and Sheng Changning hurriedly lifted the futon and got it up, but somehow, his mind slipped back to the movement of the assassination a few days ago.
Sheng Changning suddenly felt that her limbs were cold, and by the faint candlelight next to her, she casually picked up a jewelry box containing her hairpin, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
Is it fear or disappointment?
Sheng Changning couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart at this time.
She clenched the wooden box in her hand tightly, although this box was heavy, she didn't rely on this to protect herself, but if the person outside was really someone with bad intentions, she could smash it to attract the guards guarding the door outside......
The footsteps outside were a little softer, but Sheng Changning, who was nervous, could hear it very clearly.
The light veil that separated the inside and outside was lifted, and by the dim candlelight behind her, the figure of the person could be distinguished, and Sheng Changning's pupils trembled slightly.
The sharp eyebrows and eyes of the man in regular clothes had softened the moment he saw her, Shen Yue slightly curled the corners of his lips, and the next moment he opened his arms.
As if being bewitched, the wooden box in Sheng Changning's hand fell to the ground without strength, and she took two steps forward and crashed into Shen Yue's arms.
A crisp and familiar breath lingered in my nose, and somehow, I suddenly remembered my hardships for so many days.
From the design of Xunyang City to capture Lin Yiran, to leaving, to being trapped in Qiucheng, he almost died when he was assassinated...... Sheng Changning only felt that his nose was very sour, and the inexplicable sense of grievance in his heart kept churning.
The pearl hairpin and jade ring in the wooden box were scattered all over the ground, but no one cared about the two people who hugged each other, Shen Yue gently pressed her head, and his fingertips touched her soft long hair, and the corner of his heart that was vacant because of longing was finally filled again.
The guard, who heard a loud "clang" outside the door, was stunned for a moment, then broke down the door, swept around and quickly rushed inside.
Standing on the side of the table, Bai Lufang, who knew the facts, came back from her stunnedness, and she didn't have time to stop it, so she watched as the guards pulled out the swords at their waists and went inside violently.
Bai Lu: "......"
Finished.
……
Shen Yue's face was already darkened by those long blades on his neck, he couldn't have imagined that he had rushed all the way over to surprise Ning Ning, and he actually had to be cut down by the guards he left behind as assassins?
Sheng Changning, who was pinched by his waist and hugged him, saw this scene, and his lips couldn't help but smile.
Fortunately, the truth was soon revealed.
The candles in the room were replaced with long ones, and the rekindled candles grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the chambers.
The hot water that Sheng Changning ordered Bai Lu to bring had already been brought up by the maids, and she personally twisted the towel and wiped her cheeks for Shen Yue, who was sitting next to her.
His forehead was covered with mud and dirt, and it took several basins of water to wipe it clean.
The guards knelt on the ground, and at their knees were the swords that had been hastily placed on Shen Yue's neck, and after seeing the true face of this "assassin", they threw away their swords one after another, and the kneeling was quite neat.
Zuo Yan, who was quietly informed by Bai Lu, hurried over with Fu Yuan, and they went out more often during the day, and at night, the duty of vigil was often entrusted to the other brothers.
Unexpectedly, there would be such a fork in the road today.
They turned their swords at Childe!
"It's the subordinates' poor discipline, please punish the son."
As soon as Zuo Nan came up, he also unloaded his sword, and knelt down on his knees, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, and his voice was deep, without shirking responsibility.
Behind him, Fu Yuan and the other brothers knelt on the ground.
Looking at the person who was kneeling in front of him, Sheng Changning turned his head again, looked at Shen Yue, who had no waves in his face, and even raised his cheeks to let her wipe it again.
Sheng Changning's face flushed and glared at him, the warning in his eyes was obvious.
These guards were also left by him to protect her, and there was nothing wrong with this mess tonight, and it was also a manifestation of their dedication to protecting the Lord.
