Chapter 82: The Hidden Heart
Shen Run's heart sank.
"It's best in winter, there is heavy snow in Cangqiu Country in winter, and the news is blocked, and I only pay attention to the Chiyang Country, and I won't pay attention to Longxi Country. Feng Ming Kingdom is in the desert again, there is no winter, it will not be restricted by the cold, and it will be resolved quickly, and when other countries pay attention, Feng Ming Kingdom has been pocketed by Long Xi Kingdom, even if the Cangqiu Congress is confused, it is a foregone conclusion, and it will not cause any extraneous branches. Shen Chong said.
Shen Chong glanced at Shen Run, Shen Run had no extra expression, still as usual, calm and indifferent, gentle and elegant, Shen Chong didn't like him because of this, because this child was too difficult to see.
"That princess of yours will be of great use when the time comes, you have to prepare well, whether it is to prepare her or you, this battle is only allowed to be won and not defeated." Shen Chong said meaningfully.
"Yes, my son obeys." Shen Run paused for a moment and calmly responded.
Shen Chong still didn't see his true thoughts, on the surface he felt that Shen Run was willing, but in his guess Shen Run should be reluctant, Shen Chong looked at him for a long time and didn't see anything, so he didn't bother to guess anymore, and waved his hand to let him go down.
Shen Run was not opposed to attacking the Feng Ming Kingdom, if this would make the Long Xi Kingdom stronger. And he was eager to know what Shen Chong's intention was to attack the Feng Netherworld.
It's just that the morning light is an important part of this.
Morning Light ......
Whenever he thinks of her, Shen Run's rock-solid heart will produce subtle chaos, which is very subtle, but there is no way to ignore it.
He wanted to go directly to the camp in Guanning, but he saw her plain white figure on the covered bridge in the garden.
I don't know when he acquiesced to her that she could walk out of Yuqiongxuan and out of Rongwang's mansion, although the prohibition still existed, it was completely different from his original plan. In the plan, she was supposed to be a hostage in another country, with her wings plucked and imprisoned in a cage waiting for the moment to play a role, but she easily escaped from his control, and before he knew it, she became extremely free, ruining all his calculations, and even messing with his mind.
As now, he was on the shore, she was in the bridge, and he could have turned away from the distance, but before he knew it, he stepped away and walked towards her.
She was an attraction to him that could not be explained by reason, and no matter how much he rejected or restrained him, the body would always be one step ahead of the mind.
Curled up in a ball, she sat quietly on the railing, looking at the koi swimming happily in the lake.
When she is alone, she is completely different from usual, there have been a few times, Shen Run inadvertently saw her when she was alone, she would not laugh happily, nor did she have any expression, and her eyes that were soft and smiling on weekdays were extremely empty, dark and empty. I couldn't guess what she was thinking, sad, happy, sweet, bitter, she didn't have any feelings, like a wandering spirit, so she looked even weaker than when she was sick, as if she would disappear if she touched it.
Whenever this happens, Shen Run will have an urge to catch her.
Looking at her like this, he was a little anxious, eager to peek into her heart, to see what she was thinking to show such a desolate expression.
The more she became familiar with him, the more she felt this way, the more gentle she was with him, the more she laughed at him, the more he felt like this, a certain part of her heart was tightly closed to the corner that no one was allowed to set foot in, and he couldn't open it.
"Run." When he was still three steps away from her, Chenguang came back to his senses, looked at him, stunned for a moment, and then smiled sweetly, and called softly.
An unusually soft smile after the cold and empty void is not pleasant, but extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Run couldn't help frowning.
"Why are you sitting here alone? What about Fire Dance? He walked over, sat down in front of her, and asked.
"I walked around casually, without fire dance." Chenguang clasped his hands on his knees, sat down, and said with a smile.
Shen Run raised his hand, and the back of his hand was pressed against her cheek, although it was not hot, fortunately it was not cold.
"Did Xiao Yun just come out of the palace?" Chenguang looked at the court clothes on his body and asked.
Shen Run's heart tightened, and when he heard her mention the palace, he suddenly felt a sense of weakness for fear of being seen through by her, and when he heard her question clearly, he was slightly relieved, and said "um".
"I'm going to Guanning County."
He'd told her about it before.
"Leaving today?" Chenguang asked.
"Hmm."
Chenguang smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.
Shen Run was silent for a while, then said with a smile:
"By the way, next month is your birthday."
Chenguang was slightly stunned: "How do you know?" ”
"Your second sister told me when I was in the Phoenix Underworld. Whatever you want for your birthday, I'll bring it back to you. Shen Run said with a smile.
Chenguang looked at him with a surprised gaze, and after a while, laughed: "This is the first time someone has asked me what I want for my birthday." ”
"Haven't had a birthday before?"
"Nope." Chenguang smiled and shook his head.
Shen Run nodded, didn't ask the reason, he probably knew the reason, her birthday was July 15, this day is the Bon Festival of Buddhism, the Zhongyuan Festival of Taoism, and the Day of the Dead of Fire Religion, no matter what kind of religion, this day is the day when the ghost door is opened, especially the time when Chenguang was born is the whole time, it is indeed unlucky, when Si Xuerou told him, what he said was amazing, and he almost said that Chenguang was the reincarnation of a demon.
Shen Run didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so the more serious he listened to Si Xuerou at that time, the more he felt that these people were too much, just because he bullied a little girl like this when he was born, and I heard that she had never had a birthday, and he felt that she was even more pitiful.
"Do you like Feng Yingguo?" He asked suddenly.
Chenguang was stunned for a moment, probably didn't understand what he meant, tilted his head and thought for a while, and asked with a smile:
"Does Xiao Run like Long Xiguo?"
Shen Run didn't expect her to ask rhetorically, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"I'm the princess of the Phoenix Kingdom." Chenguang said with a smile.
Shen Run's heart trembled.
Her answer made him feel complicated, she was right, she was the princess of the Feng Ming Kingdom, once the Feng Ming Kingdom died, her situation as the princess of the dead country was even worse than that of ordinary people, she and the Feng Ming Kingdom shared the glory and loss, just like once the Long Xi Kingdom died in the country, he as the prince of the Long Xi Kingdom would definitely end miserably, she and the Feng Ming Kingdom, he and the Long Xi Kingdom, is not a relationship whether they like it or not, but a relationship that is impossible to see separately.
In an instant, Shen Run suddenly felt that her soft answer was extremely sharp, as if it had pierced his concealment, as if she already knew Long Xiguo's plan, but she couldn't have known that the news of Long Xiguo's intention to attack Feng Ming Kingdom didn't even know the prince, only the emperor and him, who would lead the troops in the future.
Shen Run became a little uncomfortable.
"What does Run-chan want to give me?" Chenguang asked happily.
One sentence breaks the stiff atmosphere.
This kind of atmosphere of being dominated by others made Shen Run not very comfortable.
"What do you want?" His smile was slightly cloudy.
Chenguang thought for a while, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Suddenly ask me, I can't think of it for a while, anything is good, Xiaorun is the first person to give me a birthday gift, no matter what I give, I will cherish it." ”
Shen Run's heart suddenly moved, and she smiled, she was a lovely girl, even if she was the princess of the Feng Ming Kingdom, she was also a lovely girl.
Her soft smile made him can't help but reach out and land on her shoulder, then gently take her into his arms.
