A sudden thick fog rose from the ground, enveloping the cold young man, a deep chasm between me and him, Qi Ao got farther and farther away from me, and in the end only a cold and stubborn back was left, and I watched him move away from me, uncomfortably breathless.

"Qi Ao, don't leave me, take me away-" I can't remember that I was in a dream, and I panicked.

The next moment, I burst into tears and my cheeks were cold.

Hearing Qi Ao's name in my mouth, Li Xuan seemed to be struck by a heavenly thunderbolt, and his body shook violently, causing confusion. In order not to let the strong breath hurt me, he had to retract his palm to force the true qi back into his body, his body was attacked and injured himself, his chest was suffocated, the fishy sweetness in his throat could not be held back for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he had spit out a mouthful of blood.

The water around him was quickly dyed red, and he smiled bitterly, extremely lonely, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, forcibly held back the pain in his chest, and lowered his expression, pretending that nothing had happened.

The wonder of Biqing Pond is that it drains the living water gushing out of the hot spring spring, and the pool water is always flowing, and when I opened my eyes, Li Xuan had already returned to normal, and I didn't notice that he was vomiting blood.

He leaned against the wall of the pool to breathe, right beside me, his breath was calm and long, and his handsome face could not hide the haggard color, and he did not notice that I had woken up.

"Li Xuan—" I was like a mosquito, and I barely mustered up the strength to call his name.

I turned my head uncomfortably to look at him, I hadn't seen him for a few days, he had lost weight, I raised my hand vigorously to caress his face, thinking that when I was better, I would take him all over the streets and alleys of the capital to taste the delicious food.

I was so tired that I was about to withdraw my hand, but he stretched out his hand over mine, and his palm held mine so firmly that he would not give up until his fingers were interlocked, and he was about to give up.

He carefully held me in his arms, my side face pressed against his broad chest, and I whispered to him that I had been waiting for him to come and rescue me while I was being held in the Zixuan Palace.

"I knew you'd come." If I can't even believe him, I don't know who else deserves my trust.

I said a little sadly: "Li Xuan, I only have you." ”

This is what I have always resisted and refused to accept, my fate in the capital is unpredictable, and the only one I can rely on is Li Xuan. Without his protection, I am nothing, a eunuch serving the emperor can threaten me, and a concubine who shows off her might can blatantly harm me.

I don't hate Chen Fu, I don't hate Concubine Li, I don't even hate the emperor, they just let me see more clearly the honor and favor brought to me by Li Xuan's power, how much happiness a person enjoys, how much sin he can bear. In the future, I will only stand with Li Xuan more firmly, and I can't change it, so I might as well face it head-on.

I sank into my own emotions, but I couldn't feel the greater sadness in Li Xuan's heart, his debts and apologies to me were too deep and heavy, layer upon layer: "The dispute between me and the emperor in the court is to make a show for people with intentions, I have arranged everything in advance, and the only one who misses it is you." The journey to Zixuan Palace was the most difficult part of my life, and I thought that as long as you were by my side, I would never experience this heart-wrenching feeling again. ”

Later, he unconsciously tightened his grip on me: "I'm so scared, I'm afraid that if I'm late, I'll never see you again." You don't know, I made a mistake a few years ago, and I can't afford to make a mistake anymore. ”

Actually, it's not that I don't know, it's just that because of all this, I forgot and can't remember. His remorse sounded so real and distant.

"Xi'er, I won't let you suffer any more harm."

This man, who is accustomed to strategizing and not being afraid of heaven and earth, hugged me tightly and said that he was afraid of losing me, and my mind was blank for a while, and I didn't know what to do.

Thinking of the dream I had just now, in addition to being moved by Li Xuan's beloved, there was also a dense pain, from astringency to bitterness.

I was lying in Li Xuan's arms, and he carried me out of Biqing Pond, the gauze clothes on my body were wet and sticky, exposed to the air, I lowered my head and could still feel Li Xuan's unabashed eyes, staring at me, and suddenly blushing like a boiled shrimp.

"Dengzi, why did you let me go out dressed like this?"

He laughed aloud: "Why not look at my own woman in my mansion?" “

I raised my fist and smashed it into his chest, muttering dissatisfiedly, "I'm ashamed, I look like this, how can I still have a face?" “

"Where is your usual arrogance? You are the princess, and whoever dares to chew your tongue in the palace will be punished. “

I hated and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, and you can move Qingluo out at every turn to scare people?" “

Qing Luo was in charge of punishment in the Xuan Palace, and the person who committed the crime was enough to bear just by seeing his gloomy torture tools.

He smiled but did not say a word, and continued to carry me forward, I buried my face in his chest, his smile was low, angry and hateful.

I was still embarrassed, but I was suddenly put on a thick coat, and when I looked up, Aunt Yun was looking at me lovingly, and it was estimated that she had listened to all the words of me and Li Xuan, and she said softly: "Before the medicinal bath, the prince instructed the slave and maid to wait here, and the slave and maid prepared clean clothes, and waited for the prince to come out with the princess." “

It's a medicinal bath, no wonder I have a faint smell of herbs on my body.

A few steps away, Li Bo stared down at his feet, and an old face couldn't see Li Xuan and me hugging. He also had a coat in his hand, and Aunt Yun stepped forward to take it, and then helped Li Xuan drape it behind his back: "Steward Li and the slave maid waited for several hours, and thanks to the blessing of the prince, the princess's fever finally subsided." “

Listening to Aunt Yun's tone, I realized that my high fever was so serious. I still remember that when Li Xuan rushed to Zixuan Palace, I felt so uncomfortable that I felt as if I was on fire, and I was dizzy.

I asked Li Xuan, "What have you done?" “

"Don't hide it from me." Again, I emphasize.

He said with a relaxed expression: "It's nothing, it's just that I gave you some true qi." “

In order to get me out of danger, he accompanied me to soak in the Biqing Pool for several hours, not to mention the wrinkles on his body, and his expression was even more haggard.

"Is it a good idea that Imperial Doctor Zhang came up with?" I have the impression that Imperial Doctor Zhang has always asked Wen Wangche in a regular manner, can he come up with such a strange trick?

Li Xuan looked down at me: "At an extraordinary time, I used an extraordinary method, and Zhang Lao was forced by me to make this decision and hit me crookedly." “

I blinked: "He just mentioned it casually, you just rushed up like this, aren't you afraid that he will frame you?" "Although I say so, I know that Imperial Doctor Zhang is a person, and the heart of the doctor's parents, he treats people generously, and he will never make up nonsense.

"It's worth taking a risk for you." He looked like he was telling someone else's story, and his face was as usual.

Aunt Yun saw the sweet interaction between me and Li Xuan, and smiled so much that the corners of her mouth couldn't close, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the two of us were a good match.

"It's cold outside, the princess will take the princess back to Mozhuju, and the slave maid will prepare the fragrant bath soup and prepare the princess's personal clothes."

I wondered, "Auntie, aren't you going back to the ink garden?" "I haven't seen Xiao Ye and them for two or three days, and I'm really not used to shouting without her by my side.

Aunt Yun looked embarrassed, and then smiled: "The princess's health is just better, and she still has to recuperate for a few days, Mozhuju is close to Biqing Pond, if you still need a medicinal bath, it will be much more convenient." “

I thought about it, and I didn't hesitate to think about it anywhere else.

I leaned on Li Xuan with peace of mind, closed my eyes quietly, and not long after I woke up, my spirit was still sleepy, and I was so tired that I fell asleep again.

It was late at night when I woke up, I was thirsty and wanted to drink water, my feet just kicked on my shoes, and before I stood up, the sound woke up Li Xuan, who was sleeping peacefully on the low couch on the side, it was late at night from the window, and he silently guarded me, which made me a little more moved.

He got up and walked up, and lit the candle a little, and the dim light hit his face, and it was warm.

"Thirsty or hungry?" He said gently.

I honestly replied, "My mouth is very thirsty." “

He went to the table and poured a cup of hot tea for me, holding the bottom of the cup and feeding me a few sips: "Naturally, you should feel thirsty, I will feed you while you are asleep and take a medicine, the water in your body will be lost quickly, and the residual heat will be forced out to recover completely." “

"Hmm." I replied, my head still groggy: "Why don't you sleep in bed?" ”

There was only one pillow and a blue quilt on the low couch, which was not as warm as the bed.

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth raised, and he seemed to smile and said, "Are you saying that the two of us share the same bed?" ”

At the end, he added: "I can't ask for it." ”

Me: "......"

He took off his shoes and got into the quilt very naturally, and couldn't help but squeeze me inside, he bent his lips slightly, his sexy thin lips hooked a smile arc, and the neckline was wide open, revealing a large area of skin: "Don't you sleep yet?" Are you afraid that I will eat you? ”

I'll be afraid of him? I snorted lazily and turned my back to him angrily, closing my eyes tightly.
