Since the night of the star picking banquet, Song Yuanxi has been busy with his feet not touching the ground, and there has been no one at his head for three days.

Xia Taozhi wanted to ask him with a full stomach, but she couldn't find anyone. I went to his yard to look for him a few times, but he was either blind in the dark light, or he had just come back and was taking a medicinal bath.

Once, she was too lazy to look for it again, so she simply sat at the door of his room and waited for him, but she fell asleep first. When she woke up the next day and found herself sleeping in her bed, Peony was overjoyed again, saying that His Highness had brought her back in the middle of the night.

She thought she might never be able to explain it to Peony forever......

In the end, she didn't bother to look for someone, and he would always appear by himself when he was done.

As the days passed, Xia Taozhi found that her life as a princess was very boring, and it was not as fulfilling as when she was a servant girl before, and she was busy, and the day passed. Now Peony doesn't let her do anything, and completely turns her into a rice worm who stretches out her hand to eat and open her mouth, and she is in a daze except for dozing off all day, and the whole person has become sluggish.

But even if she was sluggish, she faintly began to notice that something was not quite right with the Lingwang Mansion.

Wherever she went these days, she always felt that there was a gaze staring at her, but when she looked over, there was nothing. She asks Peony and Begonia if they see anything wrong, and they look at her inexplicably. In the end, she had to stay in her small yard and go to bed early every day.

This night, Xia Taozhi was sleeping in a daze, when she suddenly heard footsteps in the yard. Someone walked straight to the door of her room, pushed it open, and quietly walked in.

The steps are slightly heavier, and it should be a man. She remembered that Song Yuanxi had said that the Lingwang Mansion was not safe, so she became vigilant at the moment, quietly got out of bed, picked up a vase on the shelf, and touched it lightly.

Suddenly, the candle flame lit, Song Yuanxi looked at her silently with the candlestick, and she held the vase in her hand high, maintaining the posture of being about to smash it.

"What are you doing?" Song Yuanxi asked coldly.

“……”

Xia Taozhi was speechless for a moment, lifted the vase and put it down, put it down and lifted it, repeated it a few times, and said, "I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I'm practicing." ”

Song Yuanxi sneered at her nonsense, turned around and put down the candlestick, walked straight to her bed, sat down, and began to take off his boots.

Look at the way he looks like he wants to go to bed?

Xia Taozhi was startled, woke up most of the sleepy, hurriedly lifted the vase she had just put down, and stammered: "You, you, what are you doing with your boots?" ”

"Take off your boots, of course, and sleep." Song Yuanxi glanced at her: "Put that thing down." ”

"Did you go to the wrong room, this is my room."

Song Yuanxi looked at her with a smile: "The entire Lingwang Mansion belongs to this king, and this king can sleep wherever he wants." ”

“……”

She looked at Song Yuanxi, who was taking off his coat, suspiciously, and felt that something was wrong with him. Generally, only in front of people does he call himself "this king", and when no one is around, isn't this dead tsundere always called himself "this prince"?

Seeing her standing in a daze, Song Yuanxi said unhappily: "What are you doing standing stupidly, why don't you come over and wait for this king to go to bed?" ”

“……”

She looked at him suspiciously, not moving.

Song Yuanxi sighed, walked over and bent down to pick her up horizontally, and threw her on the bed. With a scream, the room was instantly plunged into darkness. Song Yuanxi extinguished the candle, turned over to the bed, got into the quilt, and hugged her, all in one go.

She subconsciously struggled, and heard him whisper in her ear, "Don't make trouble, there's someone outside." ”

“……”

It was pitch black in front of her, and the people behind her were hugging her behind her, and the warm breath sprayed into her neck, seeping through her ears and into her hair. Her whole body was stiff, she wanted to cry without tears, and she didn't let people sleep well......

A chuckle came from behind him: "Little Peach...... Take it easy...... I'm not going to do anything to you......"

Only then did she gradually relax.

After a long, long time, when she was about to fall asleep again, Song Yuanxi finally let go of her and said softly, "Let's go." ”

Both breathed a sigh of relief, and the room was silent. Only the moonlight poured in through the windowsill, casting a thin layer of light in the room.

"You...... Don't you go back to sleep? ”

"No, I don't know if anyone will come in the middle of the night."

She was silent, her eyes open in the dark in a daze, and a sense of boredom rose in her heart, such a day and night surveillance is really endless!

After a while, Song Yuanxi's voice came from behind him again: "Little Peach, are you asleep?" ”

"Asleep."

Song Yuanxi felt a little funny: "Then who is answering now?" ”

She didn't want to pay attention to him and kept silent.

Song Yuanxi said again: "Little Peach, don't you want to know why I want to participate in the Chonglou Star Picking?" ”

Seriously, she wanted to know, she wanted to know too much.

So she turned around and said angrily, "I don't want to know why you are going to die!" ”

“……”

Song Yuanxi turned over, met her face to face, looked into her eyes in the dark, and said word by word: "Because picking that star can save our lives." ”

Seeing Xia Taozhi's puzzled face, he sighed: "I doubt that you are from Eastern Chu or not?" I don't even know what you are picking up stars in the grand event of Dongchu. ”

Xia Taozhi said in her heart, is this to blame me?

"I was picked up by Master when I was a child, and this is the first time I have come down the mountain."

Song Yuanxi was helpless, so he had to explain to her briefly.

……

"So as long as you get Chi Xuan, you can get rid of all the poison on your body, including Gu poison?"

"That's right." Song Yuanxi said: "According to my speculation, it should be those two Gu poisons that make this body's martial arts completely lost, Gu poisons are abundant in Xitu, if I am still the prince of Xitu, it is easy to solve this Gu poison." But now, the crown prince and tiger have fallen into Pingyang, and he can only be dangerous. ”

"But you don't have martial arts at all now, I'm afraid that if you can't even go up Chonglou Mountain, you will be beaten to death." Xia Taozhi said: "Besides, the prince must be secretly brewing some conspiracy and wants to harm you secretly......"

Song Yuanxi laughed: "Little Peach, are you worried about being a husband?" ”

Xia Taozhi rolled her eyes at him: "I'm afraid that if you die, I have to bury you." ”

"Don't worry, I'm the martial god of the last session, so I don't need to participate in the previous competition. I just have to wait for someone else to challenge me on the stage. Put it in Song Yuansheng......" he said contemptuously: "Lao Tzu didn't pay attention to it at all......"

“……”

Xia Taozhi scolded in her heart, arrogant!

"Even so, how can you guarantee that you will be the winner in the end?"

"It's simple, as long as I can ensure that the person who finally goes to the star platform doesn't pose a threat to me."

Xia Taozhi was confused: "How to guarantee it?" ”

Song Yuanxi stopped talking, his eyes were surprisingly bright in the dark, and he looked straight at her with a smile.

She was horrified and said warily: "What are you looking at me like this?" What do you want to make bad? ”

Song Yuanxi grinned and said, "Others, I naturally can't guarantee it, but if it's my person on the star-picking platform, there will naturally be no threat." ”

Xia Taozhi almost laughed out loud: "Your people? When did you have someone? "Don't brag, you don't even have a staple.

Song Yuanxi said: "Aren't you me?" ”

"Me?" Xia Taozhi was inexplicable: "When did I become your person?" And are you confused, how can I, a woman, participate? ”

Song Yuanxi looked at her and spit out two words as a matter of course: "Yi Rong." ”

Ease of appearance???

"But...... I won't. ”

"I will."

Xia Taozhi suddenly realized, remembering that when they first met in Mibai Mountain, Prince Tsundere and Ling Yao were both changed. Come to think of it, the tsundere prince must be a middle master.

But she still feels that it is inappropriate, with her martial arts, can she really defeat everyone to climb the star-picking platform?

As if seeing her doubts, Song Yuanxi actually said: "With your current three-legged cat kung fu, it is indeed very likely that you will die before you get out of school." But well...... If you are fortunate enough to have the guidance of the prince himself, it may not be impossible to rotten wood in spring. So little peach, you might as well worship me as a teacher, and let me teach you well. ”

Xia Taozhi is not light, this person is obviously begging others to do things, but his mouth is still so immoral, it is really hateful!

"I don't worship! If you want to go by yourself, why should I risk my life for you? ”

"Don't......" Song Yuanxi hurriedly lowered his bow: "Why don't you worship again...... Wasn't it okay just now......"

Good you're big! Xia Taozhi turned around and ignored him.

Song Yuanxi tugged at her sleeve pitifully: "Little peach...... If you can't get that flower, you can't get the antidote, and you'll have to protect me for the rest of my life......"

Xia Taozhi: "......"

What's up? Still rely on her?

Song Yuanxi was persevering, and even shook her arm and sprinkled coquettishly: "Good peach...... Sister Peach...... Peach ...... Peach ......"

Xia Taozhi felt a chill, hurriedly withdrew her hand, and said impatiently: "If you don't go, you won't go, if you don't go, you won't go!" If you can't solve the Gu poison, you won't die, so you can be your Dongchu prince! ”

The people behind him didn't move.

Asleep?

She was about to turn around and take a look, when she heard Song Yuanxi's voice behind her as if coming from the endless abyss, full of loneliness, gloom and unwillingness.

"But I don't want to be a piece of waste forever...... It is up to a woman to protect ......"

“……”

She had never seen him so lost, in her heart, he was arrogant and venomous, he was arrogant, he was shameless, he was despicable and insidious, he was sanctimonious, and he was arrogant, but he was not like him......

He should be the incomparably noble Prince Xitu, the high-flying "Xuanjia God of War", but he accidentally fell from the altar, fell into the abyss, and fell into the quagmire.

An inexplicable emotion flashed in her heart, and the image of him standing up to protect her flashed in front of her eyes......

For a long time, she was so sleepy that she let out a muffled grunt, which was considered to be a promise to him.

When she fell asleep in a daze, she only remembered that Song Yuanxi stretched out her hand, gently rubbed her hair, and said softly: "Tomorrow, I'll accompany you back to the door to see Xia Xiang." ”
