Before I knew it, it was dark, this inn was not big, and there were so many of them that there was no room to spare.

Gu Danxue lay down in wide clothes, and Xingqi consciously turned his back. Picked up a quilt and spread it on the ground.

Gu Danxue wrapped herself in the quilt and got up: "This bed is quite big, or ...... Go to bed! Don't worry, I sleep honestly, and I won't touch you. ”

The two have been together day and night for more than a month, and there is hardly any physical contact with each other. Every time she was dressed widely, Phoenix would subconsciously avoid it. She guessed that Phoenix had been traumatized in Hualou before, so it was like this.

For fear of touching the other party's sadness, she would never mention it in the past, but in February, it was too cold to sleep on the floor at night.

Xing Qi laid out the quilt a few times: "No, slaves and maids practice martial arts, and they are not afraid of the cold." ”

Although he won't do anything to her, he can't make any abrupt actions just because she doesn't know.

The rain has been pouring down, and today is exactly the sting, and in the middle of the night, with a piercing lightning, the first thunder of the year sounded.

The woman on the bed screamed softly, and Xing Qi opened her eyes vigilantly, stood up and ran to the bed.

Gu Danxue sat up abruptly with her eyes closed, her body trembling slightly, obviously startled.

He called out "girl" softly, subconsciously stretched out his hand, and when he touched the thin bedclothes on her back, he suddenly paused.

Gu Danxue, who had her eyes closed, seemed to feel something, and grabbed his arm.

Xing Qi was just about to withdraw his hand, when his arm suddenly stiffened, and he felt some warm liquid hit the back of his hand.

Looking down, through the faint light of the candle flame, I saw that she was crying silently with her eyes closed.

Xing Qi had seen many people crying, sad and desperate or wagging their tails and begging for mercy, he was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, and he thought that his heart had already stopped.

But at this time, looking at the woman's not good crying appearance, he felt a sudden pain in his heart, and this pain made him more uncomfortable than the feeling of ten thousand ants devouring his heart every time he had a Gu poison attack before.

He pulled the quilt and wrapped the person, and gently patted her back through the quilt.

I don't know when the rain outside stopped, and Gu Danxue gradually quieted down. He gently broke free of his arm and took out a cotton handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears from her face.

When the veil slides to the corners of the mouth. Gu Danxue unconsciously opened her mouth and bit his knuckles. The sharp stinging was accompanied by her wet lips.

An indescribable throbbing rippled in the bottom of my heart.

He could have easily broken free, but he became greedy, like a knife stained with fire, knowing that he would be injured, but greedy for that moment of warmth.

……

When I got up the next day, it was bright.

Shen Mingjiao beckoned Gu Danxue to go to breakfast together. Gu Danxue asked curiously, "Why didn't you see Your Highness?" ”

"He went out to meet a friend." Feng Lisheng never came back yesterday, but he sent a message back saying that he had quietly gone to the garrison to which Qin Di belonged, and asked her not to worry.

The two chatted for a while. It wasn't until almost mid-morning that Gu Danxue returned to the wing.

Xing Qi saw the smile between her eyebrows, and asked quietly, "Where are you going, friends?" ”

"Oh, Madame said that he and his son came here to visit an old man and have a good time by the way."

When she talked about Shen Mingjiao, her tone was obviously familiar and light.

Xing Qi lowered his gaze casually and carefully helped him weave a hair rope.

He must not appear in front of King Su, he is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of breaking the net with the mermaid. But he had something more important to protect, and he was afraid that the girl in front of him would be embarrassed.

Just as he opened his mouth to prophesy, he saw Gu Danxue shaking the burden in his hand: "Quickly pack up your things, we'll leave later." ”

Xing Qi was stunned in his eyes, and blurted out: "You don't go with your friend!" ”

Gu Danxue pulled the hair rope in his hand, Mosuo back and forth with both hands, looked up and smiled: "I really want to go with Madame, but what should you do Phoenix?" ”

He was dumbfounded for a moment: "I ......"

"I don't know why you don't want to see Madame. But if I insist on going with my wife, you will be very uncomfortable. You've taken care of me a lot along the way, and I don't want to upset you. “

Looking at her clear eyes, listening to her sentence "I don't want you to be unhappy",

Because of these words, Xing Qi suddenly forgave all kinds of injustices that God had done to him in the past.

……

Shen Mingjiao watched the two leave, and Haitang saw that her girl was reluctant, and couldn't help but say: "Anyway, Miss Gu doesn't have a fixed place to go, why doesn't the girl stay for a few more days?" ”

Shen Mingjiao walked back: "Danxue has her own way to go, and besides, we didn't really come out to play, this road will not be peaceful, why bother others in vain!" ”

While talking, I only heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and Haitang shouted: "Childe is back." ”

Shen Mingjiao turned her head to look, only to see Feng Lisheng leading two guards to come on horseback, although the expression on her face was still the same, she could still see at a glance that he was in a bad mood, and it seemed that the operation was not going well.

Feng Lisheng turned over and dismounted, and Shen Mingjiao had already asked the lady of the proprietor to prepare hot water to eat in advance. immediately urged him to bathe,

"Sleep first after taking a shower, and then talk about something when you wake up."

Feng Lisheng didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel sleepy at this time. He leaned back in the tub, frowning at something.

Shen Mingjiao took a bath towel to help him scrub his back, and guessed: "The officials here in Qindi have the prince's people?" ”

Feng Lisheng nodded with an ugly face: "Not only the county heads of several counties, but even the garrisons on the Qin side are not clean. ”

This result is not difficult to guess, after all, since the prince chose to raise private soldiers here, it is impossible for the officials here to have no arrangements.

He just didn't expect the prince to win over so many officials at once.
