Chapter 39: The Cave

The black cave blew a cold wind from time to time, and it was morning, although it was summer, it was also a chill. The clothes on her body were a little thin, and she couldn't help but hug herself tightly, and quickly groped her way into the carriage.

After Nan Ruochen tied the horse, he also turned over and got into the carriage, felt the flint and candle in the dark, and lit the candle with two clicks. The red firelight instantly illuminated the carriage, and the dense air gradually swayed.

She had never seen anything before, and she couldn't help but be curious and excited. And her delicate face was slightly red from excitement, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, like fireworks ethereal and gorgeous.

A pair of slender hands with white skin like jade, inadvertently attached to the lips, picking up the scattered hair, the skin of the face without powder is like snow, under the halo of candlelight, like floating in the clouds, ethereal and ethereal.

Nan Ruochen, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly lost her breath, and lost her mind instantly, her familiar eyes actually made his eyes a little stagnant......

After a long time, she realized that something was wrong with Nan Ruochen, and a pair of plain hands shook in front of Nan Ruochen's eyes, pulling Nan Ruochen back from her distraction.

"What are you looking at?" Looking at Shangnan Ruochen's distracted eyes, she asked suspiciously.

"I'm looking at you!" Nan Ruochen didn't dodge either, and replied frankly.

"......" She was speechless for a moment, but the flush on her face became more obvious for a while.

"Sleep, rest for a few hours, we have to keep going." Nan Ruochen smiled.

"Well, then you go out first."

"Get out? Where do you want me to go? With that, Nan Ruochen climbed onto the soft couch.

“…… In that case, then I'll go out ......" She glanced at Nan Ruochen and was about to go out.

"If you want to go out, I won't stop you, but let me make it clear to you first, there are a lot of small insects in this cave, not to mention, maybe there are many snakes, and outside the cave, not to mention, it is easy to be caught by people, if you are discovered, you also know your prince's ability, if he doesn't let you go at that time, we are afraid that we will not be able to leave if we want to." Nan Ruochen didn't even open his eyes.

She suddenly paused, what she was most afraid of since she was a child was the snake, the slippery body writhing, making people feel numb at the bottom of her heart, and she also knew that he was the king of the Ming Dynasty, if he really let him catch up, it would not be easy to leave. What was even more worried was that she was afraid that when she saw the gentle eyes of King Shin, she would never be able to make such a determination again.

Still, she gave up on the idea. But when she turned around, she didn't know what to do, she froze in place, her slender fingers tightly tugged at the placket of her clothes, and looked at the soft couch under Nan Ruochen. Although this soft couch is not big, it is more than enough to accommodate two people, but it is too ...... to sleep on the same soft couch as Nan Ruochen

"Don't you sleep yet? Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to you, I'm not interested in you yet. Nan Ruochen still didn't raise his eyelids, and joked faintly.

"You ......" Although she was choked back, sleepiness hit, and she didn't have the energy to argue with him, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to crawl to Nan Ruochen's side and sleep.

She didn't see a hint of a smile flashing across Nan Ruochen's mouth.

After Nan Ruochen turned over and extinguished the candle, he continued to lie down. She unconsciously shrank behind her back.

"Why are the lights out?" She asked, trembling. She was afraid of the dark, and when she was in the palace, King Xin always accompanied her, and if she couldn't accompany her because of political affairs, the light in her room would not be extinguished.

"We don't have a lot of candles in store, so we have to save them." Nan Ruochen said, throwing her a blanket.

She hugged the blanket and finally had some warmth, but Nan Ruochen's meticulousness and thoughtfulness also made her heart feel a little cold.

Nan Ruochen's steady breathing came, but she couldn't sleep, and a certain nerve in her heart was still tense. Try to keep your movements as light as possible and carefully adjust your posture.

"Sleep well and relax. If you really want to wander in the future, such days are simply commonplace, and if you can't get used to it, it's not a good phenomenon. After a long time, Nan Ruochen's words sounded faintly in his ears again.

"You haven't slept yet......" I thought he was already asleep, but I heard him suddenly say this.

"You're always moving, how can I sleep?" As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that his tone was a little heavy.

“……”

"Don't worry, it's very hidden here, no one can find us, and we have to keep going after resting." His voice was calm and steady.

Yes, since you plan to go out to wander, how can you let your temperament be? She gritted her teeth and forced herself to close her eyes. I don't know if it was because she was too tired, or because Nan Ruochen's blaming comfort had an effect, she actually fell asleep deeply.

In the dark, Nan Ruochen on the side suddenly broke open her eyes, turned her head, and looked at her on the side. The sky outside was already bright, and the missing light rushed in, coupled with Nan Ruochen's good night vision, the face of the woman in front of him was projected in his dark eyes, and a smile spread at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, her brows furrowed, and she was afraid that she had some good dreams again. Nan Ruochen unconsciously raised her hand, wanting to soothe her slightly frowning eyebrows, but she was afraid of disturbing her rest, so she took it back halfway.

The woman in front of her, in addition to the part with King Shin, what kind of story does it have? She's definitely different from the average woman. Although she looks soft and weak, she is very stubborn inside. She is always as indifferent as water, and she looks like she has no quarrels, but in fact, she is just afraid of being hurt.

The two faces flashed in front of their eyes, and suddenly merged into the delicate face in front of them.

Cool dreams, cool dreams...... Are you back? If so, why are you so strange to me, you know, although I force myself not to think about you anymore, but you have always been in my heart.

If not, how can there be two people in this world who are so similar? The same indifference as water, the same no fighting, the same sad expression and back, the same stubborn temperament, and even in times of crisis, they refused to leave themselves and walk away alone, causing themselves to be so seriously injured......

Suddenly, he raised his head, and on her smooth forehead, it swept gently like a dragonfly, but this sweep caused ripples in his heart. At this moment, he is like a child stealing candy, half of the nervousness is occupied, and the other half is the irrepressible sweetness and surprise in his heart. His fingers rested on his lips, where she still had her slightly warm body temperature.

His eyes rested on her face, unwilling to close it for a long time......
