What did Your Majesty say just now?

Senior sister won't be a favorite concubine, nor will she be a sweetheart?!

So they're now...

Even if he knew that he was out of character, at this moment, Shen Lanxi couldn't help but stare at Xiao Ciyu's face, and carefully looked at the expression on his face.

But no matter what she thinks, he has a straight face, and he doesn't tease him...

So... What he just said...

"Looking at you like this, you should understand what I mean." When Shen Lanxi looked at Xiao Ciyu, Xiao Ciyu also took in the changes in the expression on her face.

Seeing the calm and broken expression on her face, he knew that she understood what he meant.

"Now that you understand, let's drink the rest of the soup." Xiao Ciyu raised his chin at the soup bowl held by Shen Lanxi, "It's autumn now, and the soup should be cold after a while." ”

Shen Lanxi opened his mouth, looked at him and looked at the soup, and in the end, he chose to bury his head in the soup.

It's not that she doesn't want to ask, it's not that she's afraid to ask him, it's that her mind is also messed up right now and she doesn't know what to ask him.

Shen Lanxi felt that he needed to slow down.

This slowdown, it was directly slowed down to the time to go to bed and lie down.

Xiao Ciyu bathed before her, and when she cleaned up, Xiao Ciyu had already closed her eyes quietly and lay down on the bed.

Seeing that he seemed to be asleep, Shen Lanxi didn't disturb him.

It's just that the chaotic thoughts in her heart still make her can't help but glance at the people next to her again and again.

"Just ask whatever you want." Xiao Ciyu suddenly opened his eyes, "I can tell you the truth about everything behind this matter." But..."

He added, "But you have to promise me that no one is allowed to say anything about what I heard today." Not even if it's your best friend or loved one. ”

Looking at his rare serious expression, Shen Lanxi couldn't help but bow slightly: "Okay..."

"Well, then you ask."

got the opportunity, and Shen Lanxi was not hypocritical. After brushing her thoughts, she said: "Your Majesty has only regarded Concubine Ning as a senior sister all these years?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Ciyu nodded without hesitation.

And, without waiting for Shen Lanxi to ask carefully, he took the initiative to say: "Concubine Ning has always only regarded me as a junior brother, and she has no idea of overstepping. ”

Between them, there has always been only the friendship of the same door.

Shen Lanxi nodded secretly.

No wonder...

No wonder when she and Concubine Ning mentioned Her Majesty that day, Concubine Ning would react like that.

It turned out that it was not that she felt wrong, but that Concubine Ning herself regarded Xiao Ciyu as her younger brother!

"That's... Why did Concubine Ning enter the palace to fight with others? Shen Lanxi continued to ask.

"Because of an agreement." Xiao Ciyu sighed lightly, "This matter is a long story, if you want to listen, you can listen, if you don't want to listen, it doesn't hurt to interrupt me." ”

When the words fell, he lightly opened his lips: "In the first draft, it was only a few months before I ascended the throne. At that time, I had almost no power of my own in the court, and in the harem, I also needed to be cautious in my words and deeds at all times to avoid mistakes.

"In such a situation of oppression, I am in great need of an ally, an ally who is both reliable and powerful."

"So Your Majesty thought of Concubine Ning?" Shen Lanxi asked softly.

Hearing this, Xiao Ciyu shook his head decisively: "No, it was Senior Sister who thought of me." ”

"Huh?" Shen Lanxi was puzzled.

Xiao Ciyu patiently explained: "Although it is important to have an ally, it is not necessary. What's more, entering the deep palace to participate in the struggle is a lifelong thing. I don't think there's any need to harm others. ”
