Chapter Seventy-Five: The Emperor Is Not Easy
Xuan Yuchen, who was sitting opposite, looked at Shulan's deliberate eyes, although he complained a little about Shulan's approach, but he wanted to see Nian Yingxi lose his veil, because he had never knocked Nian Yingxi with his eyes before, and he didn't even know what Nian Yingxi looked like.
Gonggong Gui on the other side didn't expect such an episode, he who had been living in the deep palace naturally saw Yu Shulan's intention at a glance, but even if he saw it, he was helpless, except for sighing and looking at Nian Yingxi worriedly, he couldn't come forward to help at all, after all, he was a minion, since he was a minion, he had to know how to not do much, and not to ask about things.
In fact, when Yu Shulan came to deliver the sweet soup, Nian Yingxi felt that this woman was not good, and sure enough, before the thoughts in her heart fell, the bowl of sweet soup smashed towards her, if in normal times, as long as she had the heart to dodge, those sweet soups would not hang on her body, but now, ...... She couldn't help but hesitate, although Xuan Yining could be eliminated, but she couldn't ignore Xuan Yuchen, if Xuan Yuchen was also a person who knew martial arts, then one of her dodges might completely expose herself to Xuan Yuchen's eyes, so if she wanted to get close to Xuan Yuchen again, it would be even more difficult to think about it.
Seeing that the sweet soup was about to fall on her cheeks, Nian Yingxi suddenly sat up straight, leaning her body, and watched the bowl of sweet soup spill towards her, although she didn't like bitter meat tricks, but she really needed one now. Coincidence 'lifted the veil on her face, of course, she didn't do it to break the jar, but she wanted to show Xuan Yuchen her face, so that Xuan Yuchen could see the new her, as the saying goes, if you want others to let down their guard, you must first open your heart first, she has to bet, bet that she can get closer to Xuan Yuchen after taking off the veil.
Yu Shulan, who was standing behind Nian Yingxi, was helped up by the maid, and there was schadenfreude that could not be hidden under a pair of guilty eyes, she didn't believe that when Nian Yingxi exposed the ugly face under the veil to the air, the two men present would still care so much about Nian Yingxi.
An arm blocked Nian Yingxi's face in time, not only blocking the splashing soup, but also hugging her into a warm embrace.
The sudden movement made Nian Ying stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she saw the auspicious clouds and wide sleeves that were dangling in front of her.
Xuan Yining? Nian Yingxi looked back in surprise and met the eyes that were always unwavering like a deep pool for ten thousand years.
"The Emperor's ββ!" Gonggong Gui, who saw everything in his eyes, panicked, and hurriedly ran to Xuan Yining's side, wanting to check the injury on his arm.
Xuan Yuchen, who also didn't expect such a general result, also stood up and walked over quickly, first glanced at Xuan Yining's injury worriedly, and then scolded Yu Shulan, who was already stunned, "How did you do something?" Why don't you hurry up and ask Dr. Liu to come over? If you delay the injury of the royal brother, this king will not spare you! β
Yu Shulan was already so frightened that the three souls and seven spirits were about to go out of her body, and her voice trembled slightly, "Concubine, concubine is ...... because of a while" Although she pretended to be calm, a pair of legs under her body had already trembled, if it weren't for the maid next to her, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago, she never expected that Xuan Yining, who was the Ninety-Five Honor, would help Nian Yingxi block the bowl of sweet soup.
"That's it." Xuan Yining's simple and calm words made the front hall that had just become noisy suddenly quiet.
"The princess is also an unintentional mistake, so why should the royal brother blame it again." Xuan Yining said, turned his head and instructed Gonggong Gui, "Go and prepare to go back to the palace, I have been out for a long time." β
"But the emperor ......" Gonggong Gui wanted to say something, but he was choked back by the anger emanating from Xuan Yining's body, and hurriedly changed his words, "The slave will arrange it." As he spoke, he bowed his waist and exited the front hall.
Nian Yingxi, who has always been protected by Xuan Yining in her arms, can't say what she feels like, if someone else saves her, she will definitely repay it in her heart, but Xuan Yining, a man, will never do anything that is not beneficial, so she really doesn't know whether to thank him or not for his shot.
Straightening up her body, Nian Yingxi let her back away from the embrace with a steady heartbeat, lowered her eyes to look at the wide sleeves in front of her that had been soaked with sugar water, sighed and grabbed the ice cubes of the fruits on the tray on the table with one hand, and took off the white veil on her cheeks with the other hand, while wrapping the ice cubes in the white veil, she lifted Xuan Yining's wide sleeves and applied the ice cubes to the red and swollen arms.
She thought: she must have owed him in her previous life, otherwise why would she always be like an old mother in front of him, and she would always help him treat his wounds all the time.
Nian Yingxi had just made the sound of Xi Suosuo, Xuan Yining turned his gaze to her, because of the relationship between her drooping eyes, her slender eyelashes covered her always shining cunning eyes, so that he didn't know what she wanted to do, until the cold touch replaced the burning feeling on his arm, his heart was inexplicably tight, and his already calm eyes sank and sank, but he never said a word.
Xuan Yuchen, who was standing on the side, had a pair of eagle eyes firmly staring at her face from the moment Nian Yingxi lifted the veil, and when he looked at the white and red ice muscle and snow skin under the lamplight, he was full of regret in addition to shock, and now he finally found that it was he who was blind at the beginning, so he didn't see clearly that the crying essence that had been sticking to his back with a runny nose turned out to be a piece of natural jade.
Yu Shulan stared at Nian Yingxi's cheeks with unbelievable eyes, and looked sideways at Xuan Yuchen beside her, Yu Shulan took two steps back in shock, and shook her head in disbelief, how could this be? Why is this the case? Under the veil, it should be the ugly scar that makes Xuan Yuchen die, why is it such a delicate and well-proportioned skin with thin and uniform red lips, and a pointed chin that seems to be carved and polished?
Although Nian Yingxi kept her eyes down, she still felt the two eyes behind her at this moment that seemed to penetrate herself, although things became a little out of her control, but she thought that the result she wanted was still achieved, looking at the jeweled arm in front of her, the hand holding the ice cube couldn't help but increase some strength, Xuan Yining, this bastard always plays cards according to common sense, fortunately, her heart is tough enough, otherwise she would have died of a heart attack.
The small movement of her hand made him smile dumbly, raised his eyes to look at Xuan Yuchen and his wife who were still standing in place, and opened his mouth a little tiredly, "The princess's ankle seems to be sprained, the royal brother should send the princess down first." β
Xuan Yuchen's eyebrows moved, although he still wanted to take a few more glances at Nian Yingxi, but after a night's events, he wanted to 'talk to his princess' more, so he didn't shirk it, and said, "Then let Xiao Wang send the princess down first, and then come over and personally send the royal brother out." β
Xuan Yining supported his cheek with one hand, and moved his eyebrows lightly, "The emperor's brother has a heart." β
Xuan Yuchen nodded at Xuan Yining, turned around and walked in front of Yu Shulan, took Yu Shulan's arm from the maid's hand, and said with a sad smile in a tone that only she and him could understand, "Since the imperial brother is magnanimous and compassionate, the princess will follow Xiao Wang down to deal with the wound." β
Yu Shulan, who felt that her arm was about to be pinched and broken, knew that she was powerless to struggle, so she could only nod in fear, and first turned towards Xuan Yi Ningfu, "Retire in person." Only then did he walk out of the front hall with Xuan Yuchen in horror and walked in the direction of Shulan Courtyard.
A few little maids who had been waiting in the front hall saw that their master was gone, so they naturally knelt down with Xuan Yining inconsistently, and walked out of the front hall behind Xuan Yuchen and Yu Shulan.
Seeing that the front hall was empty, Xuan Yining, who was lazily leaning on the back of the chair, opened his mouth slowly, "I thought you didn't want to take off the veil, if I knew that you didn't mind taking it off, why should I do it?" β
When Nian Yingxi heard this, she lost her temper, and threw it back without throwing it away, "The emperor is so sympathetic to Xiaoxi, it is Xiaoxi's blessing, Xiaoxi is too late to be happy, how can he think that the emperor is troublesome?" "It's already happened, and she really doesn't know if it's too late or too fake.
"Nian Yingxi." Xuan Yining smiled, "You also plan to talk to me like this all the time?" β
"Or else? What attitude does the emperor think is appropriate? Nian Yingxi pursed her lips disdainfully, and said casually, "Xuan Yining, don't you think it's redundant for you to do this?" Of course, I'm not referring to you saving me. β
Xuan Yi leaned forward suddenly, grabbed her wrist, and exuded an inexplicable dangerous aura around her body, "What do you want to ask?" Or rather, what do you already know? β
Looking at the handsome face that was close at hand, Nian Ying sighed happily, and her tone was more helpless, "Xuan Yining, do you think that if you do this, Xuan Yuchen will stop and turn back?" In fact, she felt it when he frequently showed favor to Shulan and showed favor to herself, although she felt that the answer she thought of was a little ridiculous and naΓ―ve, but Xuan Yining's nervous expression just now had confirmed the guess in her heart.
From the moment Xuan Yining entered the door, Nian Yingxi had been wondering the purpose of his coming, and the surprise he saw at the gate let her know that he didn't know that he had arrived at Sinan Wangfu, so it was impossible for him to come by himself.
So if it is not for himself, there is only one reason left, that is, Xuan Yining came for Xuan Yuchen this time.
In Xuan Yining's heart, he may more or less let go of his younger brother, so he will praise Yu Shulan and take care of himself in every way, in fact, he just wants to use 'home' and 'show goodwill' to make Xuan Yuchen, who is already planning to rebel, turn back.
