Chapter 40: A Dream in the Back of the Neck

Sima Cheng is a head taller than Yi Xue, and has been by Sima Jing's side for more than ten years, and his physical advantage and experience in royal life are his sharp weapons to "hit" Yi Xue.

Yi Xue was startled, but Sima Cheng hugged him tightly, and Yi Xue was unhappy in her heart, so she didn't struggle, even if she was put on the seat by Sima Cheng, she still maintained a posture of hugging her knees and didn't want to pay attention to him.

After Sima Cheng put her down, he consciously sat aside.

Yi Xue didn't eat anything at noon, if she didn't eat tonight, not to mention tomorrow, it is estimated that she would not be able to resist tonight, so Sima Cheng's first task is to let Yi Xue have a good meal.

Yi Xue didn't know if it was because she was hungry or tired of crying, her expression was a little trance, the pain of separation from her mother when she was a child, the wreckage scene of the bookstore at night, the fear of the night of Qixi Festival, the step by step plan for tomorrow and so on were intertwined in her mind, and the fragrant food did not make her lift her spirits, but she hugged her tighter.

Sima Cheng saw that she was unmoved, but he couldn't force the prince to pry open his mouth and pour food into it.

Sima Cheng stared at her like this.

A coarse cloth coat wrapped Xue Xue tightly up and down, and the only thing that was exposed was a pair of soft little hands and a white neck.

Sima Cheng had a plan, and continued to talk to Yi Xue a few times one after another, and he expected Yi Xue's inaction, but this was also to "pave the way" for his next "offense".

Doctors call the neck "neck", is the pipe of qi, the tube of blood, the tube of food must pass through, the meeting of the sun, the brain and marrow are hidden, the essence of the viscera is honored on the head and face, once the blood veins of the neck are blocked, it will cause systemic lesions.

This is also what Sima Cheng unintentionally heard from the doctor in the army, so he only accurately pinched the neck of the "Bulin" when he first subdued it, so now he ...... Sima Cheng couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, put down an evil smile, and said:

"Your Highness Ji, that subordinate is offended."

Sima Cheng turned to get up, standing upright beside Yi Xue, with his left hand behind his back, and his right hand pinched the slender back of Yi Xue's neck, and then gently kneaded it, as if caressing, but with just the right amount of strength.

In a trance, Yi Xue only felt that the back of her neck was touched by a warm force, and the deep and shallow strength made some of her nervous memories disperse one after another, replaced by the loving smile of the mother concubine, the sweet cake handed to her by Aunt Ning, frolicking by the Tianyuan Pool with Sima Ji, laughing loudly with Wei Shuo and Rong Tian after the lotus picking festival, and the pleasant orange fragrance.

Yi Xue rubbed her warm big hand without rubbing, Sima Cheng stopped because of Yi Xue's sudden rubbing, glanced at her, and saw that Yi Xue's face had been raised slightly, found a comfortable position, and pillowed his head on his knees.

It's not like that little wildcat in "Bryn"!

Sima Cheng stared ahead, ignoring the changes in Yi Xue, and continued to massage the back of her neck. He couldn't help but think of Brin, the forest cat he met when he was a child, with a black body and only a white right front paw, and he was reluctant to get close to him at first, and wanted to stretch out his white front paw to scratch him, and finally settled down with this "back of the neck kill".

Just like he did to the snow now.

It was because of this appeasement that Yi Xue's body relaxed, originally because of the tightness of her body, she could barely put her feet on the chair, but as soon as her body relaxed, she suddenly lost her center of gravity, and Sima Cheng also put away her hand at the right time, as if she had woken up by herself.

Yi Xue stumbled, woke up like a dream, looked around, and only saw Sima Cheng, who was dressed in a dark robe, standing next to her. He got so close, Yi Xue felt very uncomfortable, and directly pushed him, saying:

"Why are you so close to me, standing where you should stand?"

Wake up so arrogant, really. Sima Cheng was silent, and obediently sat down on the dining stool opposite Yixue, where he should go.

Through getting along with Brin let Sima Cheng know that he shouldn't be too talkative at this time.

When Xue Xue found out about the food in front of her, she couldn't help licking her lips, and suddenly remembered her plan for tomorrow, and her brows furrowed again.

Sima Cheng took the initiative to put a bowl of soup for Yi Xue, put it in front of her, and said:

"Although Your Highness is worried about tomorrow, you must also take care of your health." Then he also filled himself a bowl of soup, and before Yi Xue could speak, he drank it by himself.

Yi Xue was once again seen through by Sima Cheng, she was now hungry and about to growl, if she really ran out of strength tomorrow, wouldn't it be too big in front of Sima Cheng, when she hesitated, she saw that Sima Cheng drank, isn't this using the method of agitation! But Yi Xue was still tricked, and hurriedly picked up the bowl of soup and drank it in one gulp.

The soup had been sitting for a while, and the warm juice slid down my throat, and my whole body seemed to come to life.

A smile rose at the corner of Sima Cheng's mouth, and he continued to drink the soup in the bowl unhurriedly.

Maybe it was this bowl of soup that aroused Yi Xue's appetite, and Sima Cheng looked like she was eating with relish, so she and Sima Cheng ate a table of dishes with chopsticks and a spoonful.

During the banquet, no one advanced tomorrow's business.

After the meal, the two of them were idle again, even if Yi Xue didn't think about it, but her mind was still drawn to tomorrow's plan, although the plan was already familiar to her heart, but Yi Xue still looked sad and depressed.

Sima Cheng made a pot of tea and invited Yi Xue to the courtyard to admire the moon.

There was no reason for Yi Xue to refuse, so she went.

The two sat on the stone table in the courtyard, Yi Xue's tea did not move for a long time, Sima Cheng tasted a cup, and suddenly said to Yi Xue in a very sincere tone:

"Tao Gongzi, you can run away now."

Yi Xue looked at Sima Cheng with wide eyes, and Sima Cheng's phoenix eyes were also looking at her.

Yi Xue muttered, "You...... What nonsense are you talking about. ”

"As long as you leave now, you will still be Tao Gongzi, Dayu will still be Dayu, everything is no different."

Sima Cheng slowly poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the teacup, and caressed the rim with his fingers with interest.

Seeing his disdainful face, Yi Xue wanted to refute, but couldn't say anything, and then lowered her head.

Because, Sima Cheng said what was on her mind - there was a moment when she wanted to escape.

"What are you kidding!"

It took a long time for Yi Xue to finally squeeze out a few words from between her teeth.

"Tao Gongzi is neither obsessed with power, nor obsessed with status, nor has the ambition to help the world, why should he inherit the throne?" Sima Cheng said, taking a sip of tea gently.

Sima Cheng always called her "Tao Gongzi", as if he deliberately mentioned something, which made Yi Xue angry.

"I'm not Tao Gongzi, I'm Sima Ji." Yi Xue closed her eyes and finally said something against her will.

"Heh......" Sima Cheng chuckled, he wanted to find his past self, but someone was willing to change to a new name. After a pause, Sima Cheng asked:

"So has His Royal Highness Ji ever looked forward to the days when the yellow robe will be worshiped by hundreds of officials, and one person will be above ten thousand people?"

Following Sima Cheng's words, Yi Xue imagined herself wearing the same clothes as her father, standing on the Qingdian, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, so she quickly shook her head and interrupted her thoughts.

"Nope." Yi Xue was not in a good mood, so she wanted to deal with Sima Cheng hastily, of course, she didn't have the heart to think about it so far.

When Sima Cheng heard this, he suddenly got up, walked in front of Yi Xue, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down in front of Yi Xue, and solemnly exclaimed:

"See Your Majesty."
