Chapter 229: Take the initiative to hold hands

"Your Majesty?" Seeing a beautiful face suddenly enlarged in front of him, Shen Lanxi subconsciously wanted to retreat.

But before she had time to retreat, she was first grabbed by Xiao Ciyu's arm: "Don't move!" ”

His tone was serious, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Shocked by his expression, Shen Lanxi suddenly didn't dare to move anymore.

She no longer moved, which just made it easier for Xiao Ciyu's movements.

After looking at her carefully for a while, he took out a free hand and gently touched her forehead: "You here... There seems to be some bruising. ”

Before, she kowtowed extremely heavily, and a "bang" startled him. At dinner, he noticed that her forehead was slightly red, and now when he looked at it, it was already bruised.

His fingertips were only warm, but the dots between his brows were like burning.

Shen Lanxi subconsciously wanted to turn his head to avoid him: "The concubine is fine, thank you for your concern." ”

Xiao Ciyu had just touched the bruise, and she avoided it. The fingertips stayed in mid-air for a moment, and then had to be withdrawn.

But his leaning over action did not recover because of this, and he grabbed Shen Lanxi's hand and still put it on her arm.

He stared at her carefully for a moment, then turned his head to chase her gaze: "Are you angry with me?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Shen Lanxi's gaze couldn't dodge, and he crashed into Xiao Ciyu's pair of dark jade-like pupils.

The night was dark, only the red lantern hanging in front of the Yayue Palace still exuded a faint glow.

The warm orange light was cast on his face, adding a fine touch of melt to that dignified face.

Because he was so close, Shen Lanxi could even see his long and thick eyelashes clearly, and see the staggered shadows of those eyelashes on the black jade pupils...

At this moment, in the eyes of the emperor, there is no majesty and domineering in the past, and all that is left is a little doubt.

He seemed to genuinely want to find out, wondering... Is she angry with him?

"Your Majesty is really worried..."Shen Lanxi hurriedly staggered his gaze to prevent himself from being attracted by his gentle expression, "Everything is the concubine's own doing, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't have to mind." ”

"Looks like I'm angry." Xiao Ciyu made an evaluation on his own.

In distress, he reached out for her and rubbed the not-so-obvious bruises on her forehead: "It's not that I can't get along with you, I just want to hear the reason." ”

When this happens, you don't actually need to kneel, as long as you make it clear, I won't embarrass you. ”

The emperor was so gentle, which made Shen Lanxi very uncomfortable.

She opened her mouth, trying to find a reason to avoid his actions, but she heard him first: "Fortunately, the injury is not serious, I will go back and ask Zhou Deshun to get you some medicine, just wipe it for a day or two." ”

So, as soon as the words came to his lips, he had to turn into a sentence: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Ciyu bent his eyes: "Xie doesn't have to, just don't get angry." ”

Standing up straight, he suddenly shifted his gaze and looked at Shen Lanxi's skirt: "Does your knee hurt?" ”

She knelt in a hurry, I don't know if her knee hurts?

"It's good." Shen Lanxi tugged at the corners of his mouth and said softly, "It's not early, Your Majesty, don't waste time on these trivial matters." Everything is fine with the concubine, and Your Majesty does not need to worry about it. ”

She wasn't used to being cared for like this, and she just wanted to end the topic quickly.

Xiao Ciyu probably saw that she didn't want to continue discussing this matter, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

After saying that, he took the initiative to reach out and gently held Shen Lanxi's hand.
