So he stayed on the couch all night with his heart in mind, until the rain stopped at night, and he woke up in the morning, and never fell asleep again.

At about the end of the hour, Shu Tong ran in in a panic, and while hurriedly checking my wounds, he blamed himself and said: "Sir, it seems that someone broke into the house last night. ”

I reassured her, "It's okay. ”

"Does the gentleman know who is coming?"

I smiled and said, "I don't know, it rained heavily last night, maybe it was a passing Jianghu guest who spent the night in the house." ”

"Well, maybe, it's okay sir," Shutong seemed to have found something, and his fingers rubbed against my neck tremblingly, "Sir, you have a bruise here." ”

"Why, I'm not injured here...... but as soon as the words came out, I instantly reacted to why there was a bruise on my neck, and did the ink robe bite my neck several times last night and last night?

Shu Tong is not a person who has never seen the world, and she seems to have thought of how this kind of trace is left, so she covered her face and coughed shallowly, and said with a fluttering look in her eyes: "Is the person who came last night Chen Lanzhou's son?" ”

I shook my head, knowing that I couldn't hide it, so I confessed: "It's His Royal Highness King Chong'an." ”

Shu Tong's eyes widened instantly, and his anger was faintly rising: "What is he doing here?" You don't have anything to do with you anymore, so why would he do such a thing to you? ”

"Your husband, too, wondered, I had been thinking about it in the middle of the night, and I didn't understand which string was wrong in this prince's mind until dawn." I said wistfully.

He ...... What strange things have I said to you? Shu Tong's brows furrowed, a worried expression.

"Really," I said, holding her arm and sitting up, looking at her, "he asked me if I hated him now." ”

"How did the gentleman answer?"

I smiled helplessly: "Why should I hate him, he has saved my life several times, although he sent me out of the imperial capital without consent at the beginning, but it is also for my good, I understand these things." That's why I don't hate him at all. But his expression suddenly turned cold, as if he wished I could hate him. ”

Shu Tong looked at me motionlessly, and his expression gradually became nervous: "Then did he say anything else?" ”

I thought for a moment: "He suddenly said that he understood, and then said to me, 'Since you can let go of such a heavy hate, you probably really don't like me.'" I told him that when I finished dealing with Jinguo in the future, I would leave with the little boy Lanzhou. ”

"How did he respond?"

"He said, I'm with Chen Lanzhou, so it's good." I saw that Shutong seemed relieved, so I asked, "Shutong, what are you nervous about?" ”

Shu Tong smiled gently: "It's nothing, it's just that yesterday I saw this Royal Highness pick up a palace maid from the imperial city, and she looked very intimate." I'm afraid that he will be nice to others and pester you, sir, so I'm a little nervous. But now I know that my husband has no affection for him, so I can rest assured. ”

I nodded, accepted the explanation, and saw that she mentioned the palace maid, so I said: "That palace maid seems to have some problems, you will check her identity for me in the next few days, and why she entered the palace." By the way, her name is Wan Wan. ”

"Okay." Shutong pulled me closer and made me lie on her knee so that she could examine the wound on the back of her head, but still didn't forget to tell me, "Sir, Shutong wants to advise you not to worry too much about other people's affairs, these have nothing to do with you, you should care more about yourself." ”

"Got it." I smiled, but I didn't plan to do so in my heart, His Royal Highness King Chong'an and this girl seemed to have a lot of things I didn't know, and I always felt that these things didn't have anything to do with what Shutong said.

From the time I arrived at the Imperial Capital of Jinguo to this moment, I, His Royal Highness King Chong'an, Wan Wan, and Cheng Yu, seemed to be in a net, surrounded by darkness and no light, and there were intricate lines between everyone.

Not long after, Chen Lanzhou came, and the doctor of the "Bian Quewang" medical hall came with him, and he knelt down when he saw me: "Yesterday, I didn't know that the girl was the first assistant of the court, so I neglected the adult, and today I came to change the medicine for the adult." ”

I was stunned, and hurriedly asked Shutong to help him up: "What are you talking about, you treated my injuries very hard yesterday, and you also taught us how to change the medicine when you left." How can there be such a thing as neglect? He looked at Chen Lanzhou with a puzzled expression, "What's going on?" ”

Lan Zhou said shallowly: "I heard the doctor say that last night a son went to him in the rain, asked him about your injury, and then paid a hundred times the price, and asked him to come to your house every day to personally change your dressing." Speaking of this, he smiled slightly, with no anger or jealousy on his face, gentle and calm as a spring breeze, "I have already guessed who that son is, Xiaoxian should have guessed it too?" ”

I snorted haha, thinking of the unseemly scene with me on the bed last night, the root of my ears couldn't control the scalding, as if I had been caught cheating after marriage, even though I had been refusing last night, but because of the serious injury I was still taken advantage of by the bastard of the guard, all kinds of complex emotions made me feel ashamed and ashamed, I just felt sorry for Chen Lanzhou.

After the doctor finished changing the medicine and left, I dared to look at him again: "Lan Zhou, ...... last night"

He raised his hand to stop what I was about to say, still smiling warmly, took the tea handed by Shutong, took a sip and said, "You don't have to be so embarrassed. Xiaoxian, don't say that we are not married yet, even if we are really together in the future, if you like someone else, I will not imprison you and make you uncomfortable, as long as you talk to me, I will reconcile with you. ”

"This doesn't seem to be very good, how can you still ...... when you're married?"

But he said very seriously: "Then I'll make a different assumption." I'm afraid that I won't be able to accompany you for a long time in the future, if I can't hold on one day, Xiaoxian, if others can take better care of you, don't worry about me. In this world, you belong to yourself, you just have to listen to your own heart, not to me or him, and you don't have to take the initiative or be forced to accept the ideas of any of us. ”

You belong to yourself, you just have to listen to your heart.

This sentence made my heart tremble, and when I reacted, my eyes were already filled with mist: "Lan Zhou, I like you now." "I want to control myself and stop thinking about King Chong'an.

He sat down a little closer, and carefully hugged me into his arms: "I know. ”

"You will go on with me for a long time, and you won't be a little unable to hold on."

"Hmm." He replied, and then dropped a soft kiss on my forehead.

Later, I often think back to this scene. I vividly remember the warmth of this kiss, and I also clearly remember the great freedom, respect and love he gave me. Thinking of this, the thousands of sorrows and misfortunes seem to be gently kissed away by those soft lips. We have rejoiced in each other, we know each other's hearts, and we have nothing more to ask for in this world.

The next day, the sun was warm, the sky was clear, and Lord Zhao Mengqing, who learned that I had broken my head, took the initiative to come to the house.

He sat on the circle chair, looked at the circle chair opposite and the layers of gauze wrapped around the head of the head of the circle chair, and said in surprise: "Lord Qin is really good at cultivating a skill." ”

I wondered, "What kind of ability?" ”

"A good skill to die with one hand." He took away his shocked look, pinched the tea lid and dialed the tea unhurriedly, "Since the two of us worked together, Lord Qin has either fallen ill or is on the way to illness, how can this body support my Dajin Jiangshan Sheji?" ”

I put on a very sweet smile: "My weak body really can't hold up, but isn't there still Lord Zhao to help me carry it." ”

He pointed his fingers clearly, looked up at me, and showed a dangerous smile: "Why do I think Lord Qin is going to entrust me with something again?" ”

I giggled twice, and pulled out a stack of books from behind me: "This is the examination material for the most popular imperial examination in the Zhuangyuan Book House back then." Now they are all piled up in the barn behind the library, no one cares about them, and they are dusty. ”

"No, by now, you should understand one thing," he put down the teacup and looked at me, his expression was not sad or happy, and it was so calm that I was a little flustered, "Before this, Cheng Yu has been turning a blind eye and letting your mind let you do it." But you should know that the reason why she doesn't stop you is because she has a plan for you. Today you owe her a point, and tomorrow she will make you pay back a million times. ”

Zhao Mengqing's words really reminded me, and I also put down the teacup and discussed with him seriously: "Yes, Cheng Yu has a plan for me, and I also know what he is trying to do - the art of immortality." But I didn't know what immortality I had, and I had admitted that I was just trying to stall for time so that I could finish what I wanted to do. ”

"Now that you know, do you still want to do the resumption of the imperial examination?" He asked.

I sneered, looked him in the eye and said, "Of course we have to do it, we have to work overtime day and night, and before she starts to do anything to me, we have to finish everything we have discussed one by one." ”

Zhao Mengqing lowered his head and smiled, "I had long guessed that you would do this, and it was really too much to come and ask you today." ”

"Could it be that Lord Zhao is afraid?"

He looked at the sunlight outside the window, and then looked at me, and the light in his eyes warmed my heart: "What Lord Qin wants to do today is what I want to do all these years." I don't have anything to fear, but I am afraid of one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm afraid that you will fall deeper and deeper into Jinguo, and finally be trapped in the hands of Cheng Yu and lose your life." He said.

I laughed dumbly: "What you say, how can it be the same as what His Royal Highness King Chong'an said." ”

I didn't want to laugh anymore: how did I think of him again.
