Chapter One Hundred and One Erupts
"The slave and maid knock to see His Royal Highness the Prince......"
"The slave knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince......"
A few calls came, although it was still outside the hospital, but it was still very clear in the quiet night, Shen Tingnian got up in shock, quickly rolled all the account books on the couch into a ball, trotted into the closet in a few steps, turned around with a slight chaotic breath, and rushed to the nearest window without thinking, opened the window, and made a contemplative state, and only when he heard the sound of the bead curtain rolling, he would look back.
When Shen Tingnian saw people, he couldn't help but soften his eyes for a moment, and Pu Yangxu smiled: "Now I'm not afraid of attacking you at night." β
Shen Tingnian stood still, and when he approached, the wing of her nose moved, and the smell of wound medicine rushed to her, she was stunned, and her heart jumped: "Are you injured?" β
Pu Yangxu didn't say anything, just looked at her for a long time, his eyes flashed and he didn't know what he was thinking, he was silent for a while, and Shen Tingnian didn't see where he was injured when he observed carefully, so he leaned over his chest and shoulder and sniffed around, he hadn't seen him for a day, how could he have tossed and injured herself, with her sensitivity to the smell of medicine, she quickly found the injury.
"How can it hurt your feet......" Shen Tingnian squatted at his feet, reached out and picked up his hem, he had some similarities with Jiang Ke in the daytime, and they were obviously concerned, but at this moment he sat down on the bed and let her take off her boots, but his thoughts were very different.
"Does it hurt?" Shen Tingnian looked at the gauze soaked with medicinal juice, and he didn't know whether the wound was deep or not.
Pu Yangxu blinked, "It hurts." β
"Then you are still walking around, you want to see me, let the people below come over and say, didn't you like to recruit people the most before......" Shen Tingnian also sat on the edge of the bed with his legs in his arms, gently kneading his calves, knowing that he didn't want to say anything about the injury, so he didn't ask anymore, but he couldn't help but count the others.
Even though the two have the same heart and soul, they also have too many secrets about each other, probably because they are too aware of the complex background of the two sides, which is related to the interests of countless people in the entire previous dynasty.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, the pain is like growing wings and flying away, Pu Yangxu gradually soothes his spirit, eliminates the fatigue of his body, and falls asleep unconsciously.
###
When it snows, it seems that all the sounds are gone, and the world becomes a lot quieter.
There was a long, long silence in the prince's study in the East Palace, as if no one was there.
"Your Highness...... The people from the imperial dining room came to say goodbye......"
Xiao Muzi was waiting outside the door, it had been half an hour since dinner, and he didn't see the prince pass the meal, so he had to inquire nervously.
Shen Tingnian looked up from the scroll, Pu Yangxu sat in front of the window with his back to her, just like when she was brought in and saw before, she was still approving the seal before, and now she seemed to be in a daze.
Finally, Pu Yangxu turned around and looked at her, Shen Tingnian clearly noticed a cold air emanating from him, and he was very angry.
It should be said that he was angry in front of the window before, but he kept enduring it, Shen Tingnian's heart suddenly softened, and suddenly hurt again, it turned out that she was not wrong when she first came in, the moment Pu Yangxu raised her hand to cover her eyes with her back to her, she was afraid that she would see him sad......
This realization made her clench the book in her hand tightly, and used up all her strength before she could barely suppress her emotions.
Before Shen Tingnian walked over, he had already turned around again, "You go first." β
The stubborn back of the head - full of refusal to comfort. I've been vulnerable in front of her once last night, and it's probably awkward to think about it.
"Niangniang, please go to dinner first." Chen Luo, who didn't know when he came over, opened his mouth to invite her.
Shen Tingnian got up, walked out of the study, and walked for a while before she asked, "You picked me up from Changxin Garden on your own initiative, right?" β
Chen Luo followed behind her and replied respectfully: "Please worry about it, His Royal Highness has been angry since he came back from the emperor's bedroom at noon, and the slave is afraid that he will hurt his body, if Niangniang is there......"
Can you get out of breath?
But I didn't expect that it was useless to invite Shen Tingnian, Pu Yangxu held back, carried it, and didn't get angry at her.
Shen Tingnian's suppressed anger was also churning fiercely, she was speculating yesterday that she could hurt Pu Yangxu, she must not be an ordinary person, except for the current emperor, she couldn't think of a second one. And the person who can make him so angry, but helpless, of course, will not be someone else.
What a pair of good parents!
"They have the ability to fight, so they fight to the death, and they are all over the place, and they implicate others in plain ......" Shen Tingnian's chopsticks snapped, and Chen Luo, who followed up, was so frightened that Chen Luo, who came to follow, wanted to kneel down for her, and really dared to say anything.
Then he slandered in his heart, if there is really a dead and alive, the sky has changed, and the person in front of him is afraid that he will become their second ancestor.
If it is said that Pu Yangxu and Shen Tingnian quarreled and gambled at the beginning of the fairy fighting method, then between the queen and Emperor Kang An, it was 'lion fighting rabbit', one means is too high, and the other has no eyes at all, but Emperor Kang An will cry out in pain, and will cry and ask the prince to make the decision for him, he said that the queen harmed her, and she must be abolished.
It's been two days of clamoring.
And the queen's response was even more desperate, and she personally prepared a bowl of 'arsenic' to share with Emperor Kang An. After you dare to abolish it, I will dare to die with you, in the end of this world is her son's, she takes a life, and her son will naturally send down a batch of burials.
Does Kang An Di dare? Of course he didn't dare, and even more so the group of people who were destined to be buried after picking him up, they hadn't lived enough.
The emperor is also absolutely desperate to do this, Emperor Kang An will not live in peace if he is not happy, he is not happy, and the queen is very strong, so that the prince's life is not good, it is really a bad thing for the state and family.
On this day, Pu Yangxu held a banquet in Lanyue Tower to see off the foreign envoys who paid tribute to the imperial court at the end of the year.
"Prepare a sobering soup at night, and don't stop the hot water."
Shen Tingnian ordered to go down after getting the news, she thought that Pu Yangxu's inexplicable confidence in his alcohol consumption would not change easily.
But she has already changed her opinion of him.
It gets dark early in winter.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Prince's honor guard is really coming towards Changxin Garden."
Yue Zhu walked into the house lightly, and without waiting for Shen Tingnian's instructions, she lit the candles in the house one by one.
"Mother, do you want to change your clothes?" Mama Liu, who had a new pot of tea, came in to change shifts, and before she asked a word, footsteps sounded outside the door, she decisively put down the tea, and led Yuezhu to retreat to the door together.
The whole Changxin Garden is as bright as day, Pu Yangxu likes to stay in the place, it will naturally have its unique charm, in addition to its owner is too attractive, the atmosphere of this palace is also a very important factor. Every time he comes and goes, he comes and goes, just because it makes people relax and jump.
"I heard that His Highness has a banquet, are you drunk?" When Shen Tingnian saw Pu Yangxu, he greeted him with a smile, how difficult it was for him to be a son these days, how distressed she was.
Pu Yangxu entered the door with a coolness outside, and after stepping through the door, he paused after walking a few steps, he could see that Shen Tingnian's smile was sincere, but ......
He shook the scroll in his hand, approached her step by step, and raised the corners of his mouth very reluctantly, "Only a few drinks." β
Shen Tingnian was too familiar with his expression, and the moment he approached the breath was wrong, he saw the thing in his hand, and subconsciously pushed the prepared sobering tea, "Your Highness, is something happening?" β
Pu Yangxu sat down across from her, staring at the steaming sobering tea, he put the things in his hand on the table, nodded and said, "You open it and take a look." β
Under his close gaze, Shen Tingnian was sure that the weight of his breathing would be captured by him, and his body instinctively issued an early warning, she slowly touched the center of the scroll, pulled her hands left and right, and the person in the painting, Shen Tingnian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were uncontrollably stunned.
Pu Yangxu had expected all of Shen Tingnian's reactions, but there was no such thing as in front of her, there was no surprise on her face, and the lack of change made him not have a clue.
She was too calm.
"Do you remember the birthday gift you gave me?" Pu Yangxu asked her.
"Yes." Shen Tingnian nodded. She gave him a painting, a portrait of Pu Yangxu.
He raised his hand and pointed at the person in the painting, "Who is this, you tell me, who is he?" β
"An old friend."
"Old friends?" Pu Yangxu's voice unconsciously raised, and he didn't even realize that his fingers were tapping on the table quickly.
The attitude was still so calmβPu Yangxu withdrew his hand and clenched his fists, and the thumping table made a muffled sound, "He looks so similar to me, shouldn't you explain?" β
Shen Tingnian finally shifted her gaze from the person in the painting to his face, her eyes were extremely complicated, calmly ignoring his excitement, this day finally came, she had to calm down, "The women in the East Palace are all similar to Wei Chuyun, how has His Highness ever explained?" β
Pu Yangxu's color changed when he heard this, his body suddenly sat up straight, he was stunned for a moment, and his voice was a little broken, "These are two different things, how can you treat me-"
"As a stand-in?" Shen Tingnian easily took his unspeakable words.
She is really good at poking at his sore spots, he has been suffering a lot these days, and his emotions are already in a state of exploding at one point, but at this moment, Pu Yangxu feels that something in his chest is blocked, and his brain hurts, and he even feels that his hands in his wide sleeves are shaking.
The slight changes in his complexion did not escape Shen Tingnian's eyes, she was a little happy, and he finally experienced the humiliation of being used as a stand-in, however, after a moment of refreshment, seeing that Pu Yangxu's eyes began to redden, and even stronger emotions surged up, she really felt a burst of distress, she shouldn't hurt him.
But the wound has rotted, and if you don't scrape the bones and remove them, you will never get better.
"Shen Tingnian." Pu Yangxu suppressed the fire of rage, pressed his hand on the table, the green tendons exploded, and every word was full of strength, "Let me ask again, who is this person and what is his name?" β
Shen Tingnian pursed his lips, from the moment the picture scroll unfolded, she was like being under the guillotine, he was a dignified prince, the future prince, born rich and noble, lacking nothing, holding the power of the world, whose life and death are not controlled by him?
"Lin Mo." Shen Tingnian took a breath lightly, and everything didn't seem to be so difficult after opening his mouth, "That's the name when I met." β
Confessed...... Indeed, there is such a man.
"Does he really look like a portrait?" Pu Yangxu does not give up.
Shen Tingnian's eyes traced his eyebrows, and his heart was very clear, and it was still too late to retort......
"He really resembles you."
