At the moment when he saw the petite figure, Chu Yan came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, and pretended to look at the file in his hand seriously.

Shen Lingxi walked up to him, holding his hands, his black and white apricot eyes lowered, and also looked at the file in his hand.

"Your Highness, the book is reversed." She reminded softly.

Chu Yan's eyelashes moved slightly.

Place the file on the table next to you, sit up straight, and hang down your long legs to the side of the bed, leaving a gap at the end of the bed.

He stretched out his hand and straightened his robe, but without raising his eyes, he pretended not to care and asked, "How are things going?" ”

Shen Lingxi lowered his eyebrows and looked at his side face.

Since he met His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, he has always been decisive and showed people with cold and majesty.

Especially those sharp eyes, when talking to people, they always look directly into each other's eyes.

This was the first time Shen Lingxi had seen him, and he deliberately avoided his gaze.

If it is said that the first crown princess felt guilty about her only son because of her sudden death, she was afraid that he would have a grudge against her mother, so she did not dare to recognize her, so that she was "cowardly in her hometown".

So Chu Yan, whose biological mother is suspected of committing suicide, even if she becomes a ghost, she doesn't want to recognize her, so why don't you think about it?

Shen Lingxi had heard Chu Yan's whispers during his nightmare, and at this moment, he just casually substituted himself into Chu Yan's situation and thought about it, and felt that the tip of his nose was slightly pantothenic.

Chu Yan saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, and was about to raise her eyes-

Suddenly, darkness darkened.

Shen Lingxi blew out the oil lamp on the table, went directly to bed, and the small figure lay on the inside of the bed.

"Are you sleepy? Do you want to come and lie down? She suddenly patted the empty bed next to her and asked.

Chu Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly.

He probably guessed what she was going to say.

Thinking of guessing who the "visitor" was last night, I vaguely felt that person's rejection from Shen Lingxi.

Chu Yan's eyes were dark and dark.

"Not sleepy." If he refuses at the moment, he will stop there.

If you have something, it's okay not to touch it.

"But what if I'm sleepy? Come here, I want to talk to you, I heard a story and I want to tell it. The little girl's voice was soft and glutinous, as if it could soothe the anxiety in people's hearts.

Chu Yan's frowning eyebrows loosened slightly, and in the end, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he lay down.

The two were lying flat on the same bed.

In the dark dormitory, everything around seemed to be quiet, and only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Chu Yan was full of vigilance, and gradually relaxed when he heard the soft and even breathing of the little girl beside him.

He was the first to speak.

"I know you're thinking about me, but if she really doesn't want to see me, she doesn't have to persuade me anymore." His voice was low and deep, and he couldn't hear much emotion, but he could make people feel a sense of sadness.

The tip of Shen Lingxi's heart hurt slightly, as if he had been stung by something small.

She suddenly turned to her side and lay on his side.

The dim moonlight shining in from the window lattice outlined a faint outline on Chu Yan's body, revealing a little loneliness.

The ghost made a miracle, and Shen Lingxi reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Actually, your mother ......," she told Xie Zhanghua what happened to her.

Until it was said that Xie Zhanghua's death was concerned, she obviously felt Chu Yan's body tremble slightly.

Shen Lingxi gently covered his hand, wanting to convey some warmth to him.

Chu Yan's narrow phoenix eyes closed his eyes.

He felt her thoughts.

But he has always been determined, he has experienced all kinds of pain since he was a child, and his heart has already been tempered and hardened.

In fact, it is not because of this kind of long-past thing, and then there is deeper grief and pain in the bottom of my heart.

But at this moment, the temperature of the little girl's fingertips made him want to talk to the person in front of him for a long time.

"When my mother died, I was still young. My father was heartbroken, and I was sick and sick......"

"The emperor's grandfather took me with him to raise me, and when I was a little older and had the ability to investigate the truth of the year, I found that the people in the East Palace had been replaced, and then my father's affair came out......"

"I never wanted to believe that she had committed suicide, and she was always smiling gently in front of me...... But I have not been able to find out the truth, and she is still saddled with the infamy of committing suicide......"

His voice was hoarse, restrained and forbearing, with little emotion.

But Shen Lingxi's heart tightened unconsciously.

"Fortunately, these things are in the past." Shen Lingxi softened his voice and comforted, "At least now Niangniang's soul is still there, we can still wash away her grievances, I have a clue, you and I work together, no matter who you are, you can't escape." ”

Chu Yan turned his head and looked at her, his phoenix eyes were focused and deep in the hazy night, as if exuding a bright brilliance.

"Thank you." He gripped her fingertips and whispered in a mute voice, "I'm lucky to have met you." ”

Shen Lingxi's heartbeat was slightly chaotic.

Chu Yan's words seemed to be a simple thank-you, but they also seemed to have other meanings.

She didn't dare to think about it, she only told herself that the two of them were just taking what they needed, and it was normal for him to thank him.

Isn't she the same, fortunately with him Chu Yan, she can save her little aunt's life.

Shen Lingxi's eyes were raised, looking at his eyes, thinking of the little aunt who was alive because of him, and said with empathy: "I also want to thank you, how fortunate you are...... You're there. ”

Chu Yan didn't expect to get the same response from her.

He thought she was nothing more than a ...... to him

A wave of warmth permeated into Chu Yan's heart, suppressing all the cold residual thoughts that had just arisen from reminiscing about the past from his chest.

The corners of his lips hooked imperceptibly.

"Sleep, it's not too early."

"Oh, good...... Yes, it's not early, let's hurry to bed......"

Although there was no candle in the room, in the hazy moonlight, Shen Lingxi always felt that the atmosphere at the moment was a little ambiguous.

Especially Chu Yan's eyes when he looked at her, they were scorching and bright, making it difficult for her to deliberately ignore them.

Her heart was beating unnaturally, almost like her own.

Shen Lingxi didn't dare to talk any more, she hurriedly pulled out her little hand from him, pulled up the quilt, and fell asleep.

See the little girl wrapping herself up like a quail.

Chu Yan's deep eyes were even darker.

He also lay on her side, his big palm on her thin and trembling shoulder, "Don't think nonsense, go to sleep." ”

Shen Lingxi instantly held his breath, not daring to think about it anymore.

How could he still know that she was cranky?

The man lay on his side, saw her red from the roots of her ears to the crimson of her cheeks, and silently hooked his lips.

He didn't tell the little girl.

He has always been able to penetrate the poplar at night hunting, only because of his excellent night vision.

He didn't tell her either.

He had just seen her blushing all the time.

……

This night, without dreams, Shen Lingxi slept very well.

When I woke up, the side of the bed was empty.

The bright yellow embroidered gold curtain hangs densely all around, forming an enclosed space.

In the air, there is also a clear and pleasant smell of soap.

Shen Lingxi hugged the brocade quilt and sat up.

Obviously, she and Chu Yan didn't say anything last night, but for some reason, thinking of last night's scene at this moment would make her feel confused.

Shen Lingxi patted his hot cheeks, took a deep breath, and was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed-——

Liu Meiren slowly floated into the bed tent and winked at her, "The little eunuch who was knocked out by Xiao Langjun's evil spirit that day and fainted for two days woke up, do you want to go and see it?" ”
