Xiao Jingchen let go of his hand, his expression remained unchanged, as if what had just happened was an illusion, he glanced at him lightly, and then said to Lin Ruan: "Keep up." ”

Lin Ruan didn't say a word and followed obediently.

The entourage that followed looked at the nose and the nose and the heart, as if they were blind to the small episode that had just happened.

Dressed in the tall and heavy palace wall, Lin Ruan looked around, this was a huge open space, and the second palace gate could be seen far in front of him.

After the second palace gate, the majestic palace group appeared in front of you, and the sky was not yet dawn at this moment, and the palace could only see a rough outline.

Lin Ruan didn't have much curiosity, and followed Xiao Jingchen all the way to a palace room.

Xiao Jingchen stopped and said: "This is my residence in the palace when I was a child, you wait here first, and I will come to pick you up after I go down." The situation in the palace is complicated, I didn't come to call you personally, whoever said that I wanted to take you away, don't believe it. ”

Lin Ruan nodded in understanding. In her previous life, she still watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, she wouldn't be so stupid that someone called her, so she followed.

Xiao Jingchen clapped his hands, and two guards came over and stood guard in front of the door, and only after arranging these things did he turn around and leave.

After he left, Lin Ruan had the heart to look at the palace.

The hall is very spacious, and the furnishings are also very gorgeous, but it is not lifeless, I think it is because of the relationship between people who have not lived for a long time.

Lin Ruan didn't mess with the things inside, just walked to the bookshelf and stood still.

It can be seen that Xiao Jingchen really loves to read, and this bookshelf is full of books, and he has dabbled in various fields.

I took down a travelogue casually, opened it in front of the desk, and flipped through it one by one, and gradually, my eyelids began to become heavy again, and the words in front of me began to ghost.

Lin Ruan really couldn't bear it, so he simply supported his chin and cheek on the table with one hand, and fell asleep in a daze.

Xiao Jingchen rushed over from the morning court, asked the guards, and knew that Lin Ruan had been staying inside, so he raised his feet and walked in.

The hall was very quiet, only the slight sound of breathing came from the side of the study, Xiao Jingchen raised his feet and walked over there, and in front of the door, he saw Lin Ruan leaning on his arm and sleeping soundly.

Subconsciously, Xiao Jingchen put his already light steps almost insignificant.

At this time, it was the end of the hour, the sun was in full bloom outside, and the light in the hall was also very abundant. The desk was placed by the window, Lin Ruan probably thought the light was dazzling, and slept with the light on her back, so her face was a little unreal.

Xiao Jingchen stood across from the desk, quietly watching her sleeping face.

Lin Ruan's vigilance was very heavy, especially in unfamiliar places, so not long after Xiao Jingchen came in, she noticed that there was someone in the house and woke up suddenly.

When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Xiao Jingchen, Lin Ruan rubbed his eyes embarrassedly: "Xiao Ye, are you going down?" Sorry, I slept a little late last night. ”

After speaking, he stood up and tidied up his clothes, came out from behind the desk, and said, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Jingchen stared at her face and frowned.

Lin Ruan blinked: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Jingchen said: "You have indentations on your face, it is very inappropriate to face the saint like this." ”

Lin Ruan hurriedly reached out and touched his face, and sure enough, he felt a large piece of uneven skin on the side of his face, and it hurt slightly, without thinking about it, it must be a large red and deep trace.

This kind of indentation didn't take more than half an hour, it was not so easy to dissipate, Lin Ruan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, she shouldn't have slept like that just now.

The emperor wants to see her, is it possible that she can still let the emperor wait for her?

Lin Ruan was a little anxious: "What can I do about this?" If I had known, I wouldn't have slept. ”

Xiao Jingchen saw that it was rare for her to be so flustered, a smile flashed in her eyes, and said, "Don't move, I may have a way." ”

Lin Ruan glanced at him, then stood still.

Xiao Jingchen raised his hand and stroked her cheek, his slightly cool palm covered half of her face in the palm of his hand, and his unique breath emanated from the palm of his hand and rushed into her nose, making her heart skip two beats in an instant.

Not daring to raise his eyes to look at him, Lin Ruan half-blinded his eyes, but he didn't know that his long eyelashes swept into someone's palm, making his heart that had always been ancient and waveless also ripple.

Xiao Jingchen forcibly held back the strangeness in her heart, urging her internal force to smooth the wrinkles on her face.

Lin Ruan felt his hands gradually change from slightly cool to warm, and even a little hot in the end, and her face was dyed pink little by little.

Xiao Jingchen was able to concentrate on his exercises at first, but seeing her face turn red little by little in front of his eyes, he suddenly felt a little pity.

Sensing that the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out, although he didn't want to withdraw his hand, he immediately let go of his hand, and said calmly on the surface: "Okay." ”

Lin Ruan hurriedly took a step back, reached out and touched his face, sure enough, his face was smooth, but it was a little hot. Thinking of Xiao Jingchen's actions just now, Lin Ruan's heart beat wildly, and he wanted to pretend to be insignificant, but he couldn't do it.

Xiao Jingchen also felt a little uncomfortable, turned his head and coughed lightly, "Do you need to get some water to wash your face?" ”

Lin Ruan felt that his face was a little hot, and it would definitely be noticeable to go out like this, so he nodded: "It would be better if there was cold water." ”

Xiao Jingchen turned around and went out to order, and soon, a basin of cold water that had just been drawn from the well was sent into the room.

Lin Ruan was about to twist the handkerchief to wipe her face, but Xiao Jingchen was one step ahead of her, wrung the handkerchief half-dry, and handed it to her.

Looking at the handkerchief, Lin Ruan bit his lip, looked up at him, and said, "Master Xiao, you ......"

When the words came to his lips, Lin Ruan didn't know whether to say it or not.

She can now be sure that Xiao Jingchen is not ordinary to her, not only as simple as she imagined, but with the meaning of men and women. Otherwise, with Xiao Jingchen's cold temperament, no matter how much she is used, he will not be able to condescend to her like this.

With such an identity, what he wants, with just one look, there are people who help him achieve his wishes. She is a small village girl, how can she have the right to say no.

Therefore, she can be sure that Xiao Jingchen's attitude towards her is indeed very special.

She wanted to ask, but she hesitated to pierce the window paper.

Some words are spoken, and they can never be taken back.

Lin Ruan was entangled.

Xiao Jingchen saw her so entangled, laughed lowly, took her hand, put the handkerchief in her hand, then rubbed her hair, and said softly: "You wipe your face, I'll wait for you outside." If you have anything to say, wait until you leave the palace. Move quickly, don't make the emperor wait too long. ”

With that, he turned and walked out of the temple.

Lin Ruan looked at his back, his heart beat wildly, and his cheeks became more and more hot.

didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear of delaying the matter, Lin Ruan hurriedly took a handkerchief and covered his face.

But my cheeks were so hot that it didn't relieve anything. So Lin Ruan simply immersed his face in the basin of water.

The cold well water made the temperature on the face drop quickly.
