Chapter 25: The Heart

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yun Xiao has been preparing in the East Palace for many days, at this moment, in the dormitory, there are lanterns hanging everywhere, colorful, on it or painted Chang'e running to the moon, or painted with the weaver girl begging, or painted with the sable cicada dancing, in a thousand postures, all beauties.

Not only that, but the ground is also covered with lotus lanterns, such a brilliant lamp, lining the face of Yun Xiao, more and more beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth.

Xia Rui looked a little stupid, and sat motionless, and said for a while:

"Xiao'er, you're so beautiful tonight!"

This is the first time he has called Yun Xiao's name, and it is still so intimate.

Yun Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, she couldn't believe what she had just heard, and asked in great surprise: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you calling your concubines?" ”

Xia Rui smiled as brightly as the sun, and he said: "Your name is Yun Xiao, and in the future, Lone will call you 'Xiao'er'!" ”

At this moment, he suddenly reached out and pulled Yun Xiao and took her into his arms, and the faint jasmine fragrance on Yun Xiao's body spread to the tip of his nose, this sweet and warm taste was even more intoxicating than the aroma of wine.

Summer Rui looked at Yun Xiao steadily, time seemed to be frozen at this moment, he seemed to be about to get drunk in this tempting fragrance, and for a while, he didn't know where to start.

Yun Xiao lowered her eyebrows, she didn't dare to move, her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and she was flustered.

After a while, Xia Rui said to Yun Xiao affectionately:

"Xiao'er, what you said in Guangxian Hall today, I listened to it, I was really happy, I have never been so happy as I am now, although ...... Though...... Although you didn't look at me at the time, when I knew that I was your most beloved, I was so happy that I didn't know what to do! ”

Xia Rui's self-proclaimed name suddenly changed from "lonely" to "me", he had never spoken to Yun Xiao like this, which surprised Yun Xiao a lot.

So...... None of what he just said was false?

Everything, it's like a dream.

Yun Xiao originally thought that Xia Rui came over tonight to talk to her about business, and by the way, she laughed at her, she never thought that Xia Rui would say these things to herself.

Yun Xiao was a little at a loss, and he was afraid that he had heard it wrong just now, so he whispered:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, did you drink too much tonight?"

"Nope!" Xia Rui smiled charmingly, "Can't you see it?" I like you, I've been like you for a long time......"

When Yun Xiao heard this, she only felt that her whole soul was flying wildly in mid-air, she really couldn't be sure of her feelings for Xia Rui, and she didn't dare to love rashly.

So, she suddenly broke free from Xia Rui's arms, stood straight in front of Xia Rui, frowned and said:

"But, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you may have misunderstood your concubine...... Today in the Guangxian Palace, the concubines argued with the queen, and they would say that for self-preservation, we ...... Haven't we always been in a cooperative relationship?! ”

When Xia Rui heard this, he said hurriedly:

"Even if we had a cooperative relationship before, then this relationship can't be set in stone, after all, you have already married me, you are already the crown princess of the Great Xia Kingdom, in this life, you can't marry someone else. And I'm ...... You are not allowed to marry someone else, I don't think there's anything wrong with me liking my wife! ”

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what he said.

When Yun Xiao heard this, he frowned tightly, not knowing what he should say next.

At this moment, Xia Rui said again:

"You...... Is it because I married Concubine Hua that I don't think I will treat you sincerely, that I am an unreliable man, and that I am saying these things now...... All lied to you? So what if I say...... I really only took care of my mother because of her request, if I said...... I'm never going to fall in love with her in my life, and I'm not going to spoil her better than you, will you trust me? ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he said calmly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are thinking too much...... The concubine didn't mind the matter of the concubine, and the concubine knew that it was difficult for a woman who married into the royal family to win the favor of her husband alone, so the concubine had always looked at it very indifferently. His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to explain to the concubine anymore, the matter between you and Concubine Huafang, the concubine didn't feel that what you said today was deceiving the concubine. The concubine has always believed in you! ”

When Xia Rui heard this, a faint sentimentality surged in his heart, in fact, he hoped that Yun Xiao could eat the vinegar of Hua Ruo, so it was better than her refusing to respond.

But, in any case, since he had determined his mind, he refused to give up, and he stubbornly said:

"I've been with you for a while, and I know you a lot more than before, you are calm, intelligent, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and soft, but strong and arrogant in your heart, you know...... I waited for you to say this love, how long have you waited, and how hard have you waited? If you don't say that today, I may ...... Maybe they won't hug you! ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt:

"But, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine is the daughter of the Yun family, aren't you afraid, the concubine marries you, does she have other plans? Or...... The concubine just fancy your identity?! ”

Xia Rui heard this, but smiled, he said:

"Xiao'er, why do you test me with such words? I'll admit that when we first met, I did test you twice, but that's because I didn't know you yet, and it's different now. Even if we were just cooperating with each other and even using each other at the beginning, I don't believe that you helped each other again and again, just to get something from me, you obviously ...... It's just a warrant from me to read a book, so all these things you do are out of your own heart, right? ”

He spoke firmly, and his eyes were eager.

For a moment, Yun Xiao felt that he was about to fall into it.

However, she knew so well why she wanted to marry into the East Palace.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine ......"

"Well, now, you don't have to say anything!" Xia Rui interrupted her, looked at her gently, and said, "You just have to tell me, are you willing to be my real crown princess?" I said I wouldn't force you, I had to agree to it! ”

At this moment, Yun Xiao's heart was very complicated, and he didn't know whether he wanted to accept it or not.

However, she understands that she will have to face all this sooner or later, just like Xia Rui just said, she is already his crown princess, and in this life, she is his wife, and it is impossible to follow other men.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao was also relieved.

She nodded gently towards Xia Rui.

Seeing this, Xia Rui immediately smiled from ear to ear, he reached out again, pulled Yun Xiao to his side and sat down, and said to her gently:

"Xiao'er, don't be shy, now in this hall, there are only me and you, and others can't see it...... You can say whatever you want, in the future, I will take care of you, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will stand by your side and block it for you, you don't have to worry about anything......"

Such sweet words, to hear, are not moving, it is a lie.

Yun Xiao sat beside him, a little nervous, a little apprehensive, kept hanging his eyebrows, and did not speak.

Xia Rui looked at Yun Xiao carefully again and said:

"By the way, Xiao'er, I haven't asked you about tonight, how did you know that the yacon on the table is poisonous?"

Finally started to get down to business, Yun Xiao settled down, sorted out his thoughts, and replied:

"Actually, the concubine also inadvertently knew, before the start of today's dinner, the queen sent the concubine to the imperial dining room to check the meal, after the concubine finished checking, when she was about to come back, in a corner, met a little girl with a stomachache, under careful questioning, only to know that she ate the yacon in the imperial dining room, so the concubine asked the maid to take her to the hospital, the concubine originally thought that she had eaten something with yacon food, which caused a stomachache."

Speaking of this, Yun Xiao frowned slightly,

"Later, the maid came back and told the concubine that the poisonous was actually the yacon she ate, and the concubine knew that the yacon in the imperial dining room was poisonous, and the concubine originally wanted to remove the yacon in advance, but at that time, the dinner had already begun, and it was too late!"

Although Xia Rui has already expressed his intentions to Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao still has reservations about the fact that he was born with a physique that is different from ordinary people and can not invade all poisons.

In fact, when Yun Xiao lived in the mountains, because she had a knowledgeable master and the ability to never forget, she had read many more books and knew more things than ordinary people.

She has long known that the most sinister place in the world is the palace, and she has long known that the most inscrutable thing is the human heart.

Therefore, she will not easily trust anyone, even the person next to her pillow.

Here, Xia Rui nodded, and continued: "I see...... Fortunately, you discovered the poison in yacon early and reminded me in time, otherwise, the queen's plan to kill two birds with one stone will not only be the king of De, maybe I still have to worry about my life now! ”

Yun Xiao was taken aback when she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Rui, and said, "Queen? Are you sure that tonight's incident was planned by the queen behind the scenes?! ”

"Of course I'm sure that today's incident was done by the queen!" Xia Rui said categorically.

However, Yun Xiao still felt puzzled, and she frowned and asked:

"However, the poison in this yacon fruit is clearly aimed at you, the queen poisoned you, and pushed everything on the concubine, this logic is obviously not valid! No matter how I think about it, I think that the queen's behavior today is too weird! ”
