Shen Lingxi opened his eyes and saw Liu Meiren standing not far away, and said to her mysteriously: "Go and take a look, Xiao Langjun seems to have relapsed his old disease." ”

The four words of recurrence of the old disease made Shen Lingxi immediately remember that during the day, Chu Yan had treated her wounds.

Shen Lingxi hurriedly sat up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.

The courtyard was quiet.

Based on what she knows about Chu Yan these days, on weekdays, Chu Yan doesn't like to be served in front of her.

The entrance of the main hall was unattended, Shen Lingxi hesitated for a few breaths, gently pushed open the door, and walked in.

The hall was pitch black, and the dim moonlight that penetrated through the window paper could only barely make people see the layout of the hall.

"Your Highness?" She called softly.

Shen Lingxi listened attentively, but no one in the room responded.

Her heart sank.

Normally, with Chu Yan's martial arts, from the moment she entered the hall, he should be alert.

Liu Meiren floated in front and beckoned to her.

Shen Lingxi groped his way behind her, turned the screen, and entered the dormitory on the west side.

"There's a candle flame here." Liu Meiren led her to the table.

Shen Lingxi obeyed, hurriedly took out the fire fold, and lit the candle on the table.

The bean yellow oil lamp illuminates the rosewood carved stepping bed due north.

To Shen Lingxi's surprise, the bed was empty, and Chu Yan was not on the bed.

"There." Liu Meiren pointed to the soft couch leaning against the west wall.

Only then did Shen Lingxi realize that Chu Yan was wearing a snow-colored bedclothes, his eyes were closed, and he was lying on the soft couch.

She took a few steps and stopped in front of the soft couch.

Chu Yan's face was pale, his eyebrows were tightly locked, he didn't know what he dreamed of, the corners of his forehead were tensed, his expression was forbearant and painful, his thin lips moved slightly, and he made a vague whispering sound.

"Your Highness?" Shen Lingxi nudged his shoulder.

Chu Yan didn't react at all.

"Xiao Langjun is sick like this, very pitiful." Liu Meiren sighed.

Shen Lingxi reached out and covered his forehead, testing his temperature with his palm.

His forehead was frighteningly hot.

Liu Meiren: "He will fall into a nightmare when he sees blood, and he doesn't know what he dreamed of, and he always looks very painful." You can't wake him up if you call him that. ”

"I'm going to have someone call the Imperial Doctor."

Shen Lingxi said, and was about to withdraw his hand and stand up-——

Unexpectedly, her wrist was tightly grasped by Chu Yan's hot palm, "Don't ...... Don't go ......."

"You're awake." Shen Lingxi's eyes were pleasantly surprised.

However, when her eyes fell on Chu Yan's eyebrows, she saw that he was just like before, and there was no sign that he was going to wake up.

He just unconsciously grabbed her hand.

Shen Lingxi still remembered that he was going to call the imperial doctor, and turned his wrist, trying to pull out his hand.

But Chu Yan seemed to be afraid that she would escape, and pulled her big palm hard-——

Shen Lingxi was caught off guard, stumbling under his feet, and his soft body fell on top of him.

"Hmm......" Chu Yan let out a faint cry of pain.

Shen Lingxi's heart suddenly began to beat violently, her ears were close to his heart, and she couldn't tell whether it was his or her own heartbeat, like a drum, which shook her ears and felt numb.

She held her breath and tried to stand up.

Unexpectedly, such an almost fleeing action seemed to touch Chu Yan's nightmare, causing him to stretch out his other hand, turn sideways, and hold her firmly in his arms!

"Don't ...... Don't go ......."

Chu Yan's eyes were tightly closed, and his thin lips unconsciously pressed against Shen Lingxi's neck and whispered.

His hot breath and the big palm on her waist scorched Shen Lingxi's breathing slightly.

"Your Highness?"

Shen Lingxi nudged his heart with one hand.

Seeing that he didn't react, he called his name again, "Chu Yan? ”

However, all that was answered was a muffled murmur and a body trembling from the nightmare.

Liu Meiren seemed to have expected it, and behind her, she covered her lips and chuckled.

"Xiao Langjun will not wake up easily, even so...... The girl will rest here and accompany him, anyway, the two of you are about to get married, so you should adapt to it in advance. ”

Shen Lingxi naturally heard the joke in her tone, and the corners of her forehead twitched, "He burned like this, if you don't go to the imperial doctor......

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to burn until dawn, it's always been like this, if it weren't for that, how could there be no people on duty outside the hall." Liu Meiren smiled and said, "You just need to be by his side." ”

Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes were slightly raised, and then he realized that he was placed by Liu Meiren.

She tried her best to ignore Chu Yan's hot breath that landed on the side of her neck, and she tried to turn sideways outward.

Xu this time, she had no intention of leaving-——

Chu Yan's big palm on her waist unconsciously relaxed, but it was not completely released, and the slightly curved finger bones rested on her waist, posing as if they would tighten at any time.

Shen Lingxi tried to calm her breath and turned her head to look at Liu Meiren, her bright apricot eyes were full of anger.

"Girl, don't be in a hurry to annoy me." Liu Meiren smiled at her, "Do you guess why he doesn't sleep in a good bed, and he wants to sleep here?" ”

"Why?" Shen Lingxi asked angrily. A soft voice, with a hint of resentment.

Liu Meiren smeared the tips of Kodan's fingers and pointed to the wall next to the soft couch, "He was worried that you would be harassed by the ghost of that little eunuch, so he slept here." ”

After being reminded by her, Shen Lingxi realized that the bed where she was resting in the side hall next door seemed to be behind this wall.

The soft couch and her bed are separated by only one wall.

Although it was separated by the wall, it was within a foot of his anger......

In this way, if the soul of the little eunuch comes back to trouble her in the middle of the night, his evil spirit can protect her.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi couldn't help but remember that when he was in Wu'anbo's Mansion, it was like the bed in the wing room where he lived, and she was only separated by a wall......

Could it be that at that time, he was like tonight, he specially used his evil qi to protect her and prevent Yang Shuangwen from coming to her for trouble?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Lingxi's heart warmed, and the anger in his apricot eyes dissipated a lot.

Unexpectedly, although this imperial grandson is a cold-faced star, he is not only a square and upright gentleman in his bones, but also a warm-hearted person.

"If you want to tell me this, tell me so, why did you trick me into coming here......"

Shen Lingxi looked at her resentfully, "This makes me tomorrow morning, how can I explain it to him?" ”

"What's the explanation for that?" Liu Meiren chuckled, "You two are really interesting, and it's not the first time...... If he wakes up in the morning and sees you, it's too late to be happy, how can he make you explain? Since you are a person who is happy with each other, you want to be with each other all the time, you like him, so come to him late at night, isn't it a common thing? ”

Shen Lingxi's eyebrows jumped.

These former concubines misunderstood her relationship with Chu Yan from beginning to end.

There is no way to explain it.

Shen Ling simply closed his eyes and pretended to be angry and ignored her.

Liu Meiren had the intention to create an opportunity for the two to be alone, but she didn't expect it to be boring, but she was not angry.

She said softly: "Actually, I asked you to come here, and there are other things. ”

"What's going on...... Shen Lingxi opened his eyes, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Meiren's red lips were slightly hooked, and she said meaningfully: "You are here tonight with Xiao Langjun, and you will know in a while." ”

With that, she turned and drifted away from the dormitory.

Shen Lingxi always felt that Liu Meiren was a little weird tonight, but she couldn't say what was weird.

She was from the bottom of her heart and was a little curious about the "things" that Liu Meiren said.

After Liu Meiren left, only Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan were left in the entire dormitory, and Chu Yan, who was groggy and fell into a nightmare.

Xu is hall was quiet, or there was no interference from the side, Shen Lingxi rarely calmed down.

Unconsciously, she finally heard the content of Chu Yan's non-stop babbling.

"A-Niang, why are you ......?"

"A-Niang...... No...... Don't ......"

"A-Niang, don't go......"

"Don't leave me ......"

Shen Lingxi's heart was pinched fiercely.

She turned her head and looked at Chu Yan's face, which was so pale that it was almost transparent.

In the flickering candlelight, under his tightly locked thick eyebrows, there were faint tears flickering at the end of his narrow eyes.

At this moment, Shen Lingxi finally knew what was the nightmare that constantly tormented Chu Yan after he relapsed after seeing the bloody clothes of others......

It was the tragic death of the first crown princess.

When the first crown princess died, Chu Yan was only ten years old.

How can a ten-year-old child accept that his biological mother was covered in blood and died tragically in his arms.

It was a memory he would never forget for the rest of his life.

It is also the knot he buried deep in his heart.

Shen Lingxi couldn't imagine how he spent the first few days.

She only knew that even though he had already become a man who stood up to the heavens and the earth, holding power in his hands, and holding a high position below one person and above ten thousand.

Once that memory is touched, it will cause him to relapse into an endless nightmare.

Repeating over and over what happened at that darkest hour.

What a cruel devastation and torture it was.

The tip of Shen Lingxi's nose was slightly sour, and his eyes were red.

She remembered her death in her previous life.

She fell from a high tower, covered in blood and shattered.

Witnessing her like that with her own eyes, for Chu Yan, who often falls into nightmares, it is not the repetition of nightmares in reality.

However, he personally collected the broken body for her, a person who had lived a plain life, and buried her alive.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi only felt as if his heart was entangled by something, round and round, fine but heavy, with indescribable sourness and careful pain.

"Chu Yan ......"

Shen Lingxi gently leaned towards him, and his cool and soft hand caressed his hot and tightly locked eyebrows.

As if in response to his whispering, her soft voice said hoarsely, "I'm not leaving, I'll accompany you, I'll accompany you......"

As if hearing her voice, Chu Yan's tightly locked eyebrows stretched slightly, and the big palm on her waist tightened unconsciously, holding her petite body in his arms.

The faint whispering sound gradually stopped.

The chaotic breathing gradually became long and calm.

The nightmare seemed to be slowly dispelled at this moment.

Shen Lingxi tried his best to ignore the hot heat of the pinna, his forehead lightly touched his heart, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, and the tip of his nose was filled with the crisp and good-smelling soap fragrance on his body.

She sighed softly, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep little by little.

The night is as cool as water, and the two figures who sleep in each other's arms, under the reflection of the yellow candle flame, have a kind of quiet and beautiful beauty.

Shen Lingxi had fallen asleep.

Except for her, there will be no living person in this world who can see it, and in the corner of the dormitory shrouded in candles, there is a beautiful shadow with a sad expression, looking at them with a pair of beautiful eyes, and there are crystal tears in her eyes......

*

The next morning, Shen Lingxi woke up from his dream and subconsciously opened his eyes-

I thought it would be an extremely embarrassing scene, but I didn't expect to be alone, lying on that soft couch.

There was still residual warmth on the pillow and in the quilt beside her, as if to remind her that everything that happened last night was not a dream.

Shen Ling sat up sharply, and an extremely hot heat rose on his cheeks.

She ...... last night Unexpectedly, it was with Chu Yan...... Shared a bed!!

Clearly aware of this, her whole body was inexplicably nervous.

The two of them are a fake couple of contracts.

Is this a violation?

Shen Lingxi's mind was in turmoil, what happened last night was really beyond her expectations.

If Chu Yan investigates it, how will she explain the fact of appearing in his dormitory in the middle of the night?

He has always had a habit of cleanliness, will she be taboo because of this?

Shen Lingxi thought wildly, and was secretly glad in his heart that Chu Yan was not in the hall when he woke up, so he avoided the embarrassment of the two of them sharing the same bed-——

With a "squeak", the door of the temple suddenly opened, and a tall and straight figure walked in from outside.

Shen Lingxi immediately clenched the brocade quilt in his hand, and looked at the visitor with wide eyes nervously.

It's Chu Yan.

He wore a homely snow-colored robe, his black hair was combed into a bun, perhaps because he was cured, his deep facial features were handsome and handsome, his slender eyebrows flew obliquely into his sideburns, his phoenix eyes were dark and bright, his thin lips raised a pleasant arc, and the whole person looked refreshed.

"You're awake." He walked to the soft couch and sat down directly, with a little smile in his phoenix eyes, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Okay, okay."

Because he was too nervous, Shen Lingxi stumbled a little when he spoke.

She tried to explain: "I, I last night, yes, I heard Liu Meiren say, saying that you are sick, so, so ......"

"I know." Chu Yan nodded, the smile on the corner of his lips was slightly deep, and he said in a very serious tone: "The old illness recurred last night, thanks to you, I can get better so quickly, thank you." ”

He paused, looked at her expression, and then said, "If I had something abrupt last night...... Thank you for your understanding. ”

Didn't ask why she slept in his arms.

No shame, no questioning.

Such a sincere tone made Shen Lingxi's hanging heart finally relax.

"As long as Your Highness is okay." She hurriedly said, "No thanks. ”

Seeing this, Chu Yan nodded understandingly.

Last night, when he was drowsy and trapped in a nightmare, he seemed to see Shen Lingxi walk into his dream, hugged him, and whispered in his ear that he wanted to "always be by his side".

I thought it was a dream, but I didn't expect to open my eyes and the little girl was snuggling in his arms and sleeping sweetly.

An indescribable heartbeat and satisfaction filled his heart.

It doesn't matter, now that she has promised to marry him, the rest, he has a lifetime and can wait slowly.

Thinking so, Chu Yan said softly: "I asked people to prepare breakfast, you get up and freshen up, and we will eat together." ”

Shen Lingxi saw that he didn't mention last night's incident again, and his heart was even more relaxed, and he hurriedly nodded in response.

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and went to the side hall where she had stayed the night.

However, when she opened the temple door and saw the scene in the courtyard, she was startled......
