Chapter 116 secretly scolded himself for how thick he was
"Yes, the slave should take care of the master, and dare not make a mistake." Feeling Xiao Mochen's murderous aura, Green Sleeves was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he said with a weak heart. This kind of killing aura that can only be sharpened on the battlefield, where can a maid like her withstand it?
Xiao Mochen didn't want to look at the green sleeves anymore, turned his head to Su Wan and said, "Let's go." At this moment, Xiao Mochen quickly regained his gentleness, it is not wrong to say that he turned his face faster than turning the book, but after all, it was just because of a straightforward expression.
Su Wan nodded, trotting to keep up with Xiao Mochen's pace. In the process of walking, taking advantage of the not bright lights in the corridor, Su Wan secretly looked at Xiao Mochen several times, and secretly wondered in his heart, why can this cold and taciturn prince always see through a woman's little tricks at a glance?
Although Su Wan knew some things, he didn't bother to sue Xiao Mochen, he wanted to suffer this loss himself, but it seemed that every time he would be discovered by Xiao Mochen and seek justice for himself.
She didn't know that Xiao Mochen had grown up in the palace since she was a child, and even if she was not far away from participating in those intrigues, she had also passively contacted a lot. When it comes to looking at people, he also has his own experience.
Under the light, Xiao Mochen's perfect facial contours were plated with a light layer of golden, except for the majesty and coldness of the day, Xiao Mochen's face was calm now, holding a cute little girl in his arms, looking full of life.
Su Wan suddenly found that he and Xiao Mochen, who was holding the little princess, were walking side by side on the verandah, didn't they look like a happy family of three? This harmonious atmosphere has never been seen before.
She is Xiao Mochen's princess, will she have children with him in the future? Su Wan, who realized what he was thinking, was full of excitement, his face flushed, and he secretly scolded himself for being so thick-skinned.
"Little princess! You can count it back, the nurse is almost worried to death. A palace maid who was more well-dressed ran over from afar, saluted Xiao Mochen and Su Wanyi, and said, "King Chen, Princess Chen is blessed with Jin'an." ”
"Get up." Xiao Mochen said lightly, handed Xiao Linglong in his arms to the nurse's arms, and said, "Take the princess back to rest." ”
"No, Brother Huang, Linglong is reluctant to ...... you" Xiao Linglong is a child after all, after a day of tossing, she was already drowsy in Xiao Mochen's arms, but now when she arrived at the nurse's side, she just said a few words, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Yes, King Chen and the princess also rested earlier, and the slaves and maids retreated." The nurse gave another salute and walked back to the room cautiously with Xiao Linglong in her arms. Fortunately, this time he met King Chen, otherwise, the guilt of losing the little princess was enough to make him lose his head.
"Wan'er, let's go back too." Xiao Mochen turned his head and looked at Su Wan tenderly and said.
Su Wan got goosebumps from this sudden gentle gaze, and said slowly: "Don't be, you didn't go to Fu Yanran tonight, if she knows that you spent the night in my room, maybe how you will be angry." ”
Thinking of Fu Yanran's resentful eyes looking at her while lying on the bed, Su Wan couldn't help but shudder.
"It's out of the way." Xiao Mochen said in a flat tone: "There are only two main houses opened for our King Chen this time, one each for you and Yanran, if you don't let me go, will you let me squeeze a room with the unmarried thirteen emperor brothers?" ”
Xiao Mochen is also telling the truth, although the villa is magnificent, the guest rooms for the nobles are limited, and there are so many royal relatives accompanying him in the winter hunt, and being able to open two rooms for King Chen's mansion is already enough to give King Chen face. If there are more, I'm afraid King Chen won't be able to stand it.
The emperor's preference for King Chen is already very obvious. If you do it too much, it will only bring more enemies to King Chen.
"But ......" Su Wan frowned, still thinking about whether he could withstand the chain reaction brought about by taking Xiao Mochen in. Experience again and again told Su Wan that he couldn't just agree. Nodding your head may seem like a nod of ease, but it's actually not that easy.
"No, but." Xiao Mochen stared at Su Wan, his tone suddenly sank, and said: "The further you go to the northwest, the more difficult the conditions will be, today's dinner, my father has already decreed, and in the next few days, I and other adult princes will participate in the night conversation to discuss the issue of border plugging." I'm afraid I want to be in the same room with you, and I don't have a chance. ”
This year's winter hunt was chosen in Biansai, in addition to the traditional display of the attitude of establishing the country with force, there are more important reasons.
In recent years, due to the continuous natural disasters, the displaced people have risen everywhere, although they cannot set off any major storms, but the management of the displaced people and the suppression of rebellions have also restrained a large number of military forces of the empire. At the same time, neighboring countries are also plagued by natural disasters, and even because of their weak national strength, they are even more chaotic and barren, and a large number of displaced people are in rebellion, and even set up camp in the border between the two countries and become mountain bandits.
In this case, on the one hand, the imperial courts of neighboring countries do not have enough strength to manage it, and on the other hand, they do not want to manage it at all. Even, some people in the DPRK and China believe that the imperial courts of neighboring countries have always colluded with the mountain bandits to plunder the rations of civilians in the name of the mountain bandits.
Whenever the border generals sent troops, those mountain bandits retreated to the other end of the border, waiting for the soldiers to withdraw and move again, which made people tired of it. On the grounds of the security of the empire, the neighboring countries refused to allow us to enter the country to exterminate the mountain bandits, which led to repeated delays in this situation.
Therefore, this winter hunt is actually showing the attitude of the empire and showing its determination to exterminate the mountain bandits. Moreover, it is to deter neighboring countries and make them not think about things they should not have. Of course, intelligence gathering is also one of the important tasks.
Thinking of this, even Xiao Mochen felt a little headache. But he didn't tell Su Wan about this, on the one hand, it was a secret, and on the other hand, he didn't want Su Wan to bother.
Even if he was as nervous as Su Wan, he was aware of Xiao Mochen's irritability at this moment, so he had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, but it's okay, it's just this night." ”
"Okay." Xiao Mochen smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to Su Wan.
Under the faint light, Xiao Mochen's smile seemed to be a fragile star, which was particularly dazzling in the dark environment around him, making people dizzy.
Su Wan's thinking consciousness was still hesitating, and he didn't want to sell his heart without thinking about it, and gently stepped forward and put it into Xiao Mochen's palm.
It's so cold.
Su Wan was stunned, she didn't expect Xiao Mochen's hands to be cold tonight, they felt like cold iron, what was wrong with him?
In fact, Xiao Mochen, who has suffered from cold poison before, has extremely cold hands and feet, whether it is a cold winter or a hot summer. He was never cold, no one knew about him, not even himself.
Feeling the warm and soft touch of Su Wan's little hand, Xiao Mochen's smile became even brighter, he didn't realize the subtle change in Su Wan's expression, he just wanted to quietly hold Su Wan's hand and walk through this not a long road.
Along the way, the two people held hands quietly like this, with different thoughts, and neither of them took the lead in breaking the silence.
When they arrived in the room, the two of them walked to the side of the bed one after the other, Xiao Mochen slowly took off his coat, smiled at Su Wan, and said, "Madame, please first." ”
Su Wan took a few deep breaths, immersed in Xiao Mochen's angry smile and couldn't extricate herself, and almost recited the eight honors and eight shames in her mind to sober up her senses.
"Again, you're not allowed to cross the middle line." Su Wan saw that there was no suitable pillow, so he leaned over and drew a line on the sheet with his hand, pointed and said.
Xiao Mochen smiled noncommittally, and when he saw that Su Wan was already lying on the bed, he turned over from his side and got on the bed, lying heavily on the futon.
"Wan'er, I'm really tired...... too many things happened this day, Xiao Mochen, as the prince who pressed the formation in front of the army, has been highly nervous, and he is afraid that something will go wrong. All the army dispatches were commanded by him, and several battle reports from the border stoppers were also received and sorted out by him and handed over to the emperor.
After a tiring day on official business, and when he came back at night, he was made so troubled by Fu Yanran, and now Xiao Mochen is really physically and mentally exhausted, and as soon as he lay down on the bed, his consciousness became scattered.
Su Wan saw that Xiao Mochen had just closed his eyes as soon as he lay down, and his breathing was gradually slowing, and he realized that he was now on the verge of physical exhaustion.
Su Wan raised his hand to cover the quilt for Xiao Mochen, and Xiao Mochen, who was in a state of confusion, smelled the faint body fragrance on Su Wan's body when he approached, and showed a satisfied smile.
This sense of security from the heart, except for Xiao Mochen's dead mother, Su Wan was able to give him later.
Xiao Mochen fell asleep with a shallow smile like this, and it was only five minutes before and after. Su Wan lay on the bed, looking at Xiao Mochen, who was sleeping quietly, and the corners of her mouth also hooked up a beautiful arc.
When the kingdom was in dispute, Su Wan didn't know anything, but she could sense the changes in Xiao Mochen's mood, and she could also make an accurate judgment on Xiao Mochen's physical condition with her professional knowledge. This may be enough, all she wants to do is accompany him like this.
Su Wan herself didn't know when she cared about Xiao Mochen more than the doctor's love for the patient, many times, she was jealous for Xiao Mochen, low in energy for him, and distressed for him.
These subtle changes, like a tranquil stream flowing with a long stream of fine water, slowly moistened Su Wan's heart, gradually polishing her originally smooth and smooth mood into different ups and downs.
Su Wan supported his head with his hand, looking at Xiao Mochen's sleeping face while thinking about his own thoughts.
As if he suddenly thought of something, Su Wan stretched out his hand to Xiao Mochen and held it gently. Fortunately, now his hands are reassuring warmth.
Su Wan smiled faintly, put her mind at ease, and before she knew it, she also fell asleep.
The two of them who were sleeping slowly approached, and finally crossed the Chu River and Han Boundary drawn by Su Wan before, and hugged each other gently.
That night, it was not until nightfall that the team arrived at the destination of this trip, Dragon Seal City. Dragon Seal City is known as the last line of defense of the empire, because the plain terrain will become a treacherous area of lofty mountains from here, and after crossing this level, although there is still some distance from Yunyan City, where the border is located, it is already a very dangerous area.
After arriving at the foothold of Longxi City, the emperor did not arrange a grand banquet, but ordered all officials to eat in their own rooms, and summoned all the princes and confidants to his room to discuss state affairs.
Because there are relatively few rooms, the ladies have to live in the same room with their maidservants tonight, and the room where Su Wan and Qingyun's master and servant live is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and there are just two beds, which are also spacious.
After having dinner casually, Su Wan was flipping through the villain book he brought to relieve his boredom, Qingyun brought tea from outside the door, looking worried, looking at Su Wan but wanting to stop talking.
Through this period of getting along, Su Wan understands that the women of this era just can't talk well anyway, and if there is something to hold in your heart, it is to hang your appetite, and if you have to open your mouth to ask, they are awkward and willing to say.
Su Wan sighed, took a sip of the tea that Qingyun poured for her at the right temperature, and said lazily: "If you have anything on your mind, just say it when you think of it." ”
Qing Wan lowered her eyes, her face was full of nerve, and said, "The slave is not worried about her own affairs, but worried about you. ”
"Me? What's wrong with me? Su Wan was a little strange, put down the scroll in his hand, stared at Qing Wan and asked. Isn't she good? What's there to worry about?
"Today has passed the Dragon Seal City, according to the regulations, on the way from the Dragon Seal City to Yunyan City, even the female dependents must ride forward, and the slave is worried that the princess's body will not be able to bear it." Qing Wan's big eyes were full of real worries, but she clearly knew that Su Wan didn't know how to ride a horse, and her body was a little weak, if she rode a horse and galloped, she would naturally be unable to bear it.
Su Wan raised her eyebrows, did it turn out that this was the case. Although he knew the news early in the morning, he who had never touched the saddle seemed to be unable to learn to steer the horse in a short time, and he thought that there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, but now it seemed that this should be a dead end.
"You don't have to worry about me, it's really not good, I'll just walk behind, it's okay." Su Wan wanted to say something to comfort Qing Wan, but after Qing Wan heard it, she became even more emotional, and shook her head again and again and said: "How can it be, only those of us who are subordinates walk with their feet, princess, you are a nobleman, this is not in line with etiquette." ”
When Su Wan heard this, he also realized that his thoughts were too simple and did not take into account the overall situation. Many things are not so simple here, everything has to be done according to the rules, even if the rules are not so reasonable.
"Besides, the side concubine is from Jiangmen, and she is good at riding horses and archery, I'm afraid she has already found an opportunity to win back a city in front of the princess." When Qing Wan said this, she couldn't help but be a little indignant.
Su Wan smiled helplessly and said, "Horseback riding is indeed what she is good at, even if we envy this, there is nothing we can do." ”
Qing Wan pursed her lips and looked stunned.
There was a gentle knock on the door again, Su Wan's heart trembled, and she immediately thought of whether it would be Xiao Mochen coming, and asked in a raised tone, "Who?" The latest chapter of "The Runaway Princess is Very Easy Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
