Manual of the East Palace Mutual Performance Section 40
The bed tent was put down, and the cicada clothes came in, and was about to extinguish the lamp and candle, but she stopped him.
She excused herself from a nightmare and wanted to keep a lamp. Ning Xun didn't stop him, so Cicada Yi left a dim lamp and candle as he said, and then withdrew.
The room fell silent for a moment, so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
He turned his back to him, but he heard him speak in a deep voice, and his voice carried some warning, intentionally or unintentionally: "Sleep well." ”
She replied indiscriminately, feigned sleep, and listened carefully to his breathing.
When she was almost ugly, she had slept enough, but Ning Xun didn't close her eyes all night, she thought, no matter what, he should also fall asleep.
He waited patiently for half an hour, until he breathed steadily and long, and then turned back gently and whispered to him: "Your Highness? ”
No response.
She called two more times, and finally tentatively reached out and touched his cheek lightly.
After making sure he was asleep, she cautiously got up.
Thanks to years of dancing, she has an extraordinary control over her body, and she barely makes any noise when she stays.
She treadfully took the candle she had left behind, and quietly approached the bookcase.
There were quite a few stacks of books, and she glanced at them a few times, and finally locked on a booklet that seemed to be folded.
The booklet unfolded, and there was a list. It's just that there are traces of alteration on it, presumably not the one that will be presented to the emperor in the end.
His palms were sweaty, and he glanced up at the bed.
When she came down, she deliberately separated the bed net, just in time to reveal Ning Xun's figure—he was still in a square posture, breathing steadily.
Only then did she bow her head and carefully look at the roster in her hand.
It records in detail the promotions and demotion of more than 20 people.
If you directly spread out the pen and ink to copy, it will inevitably be too much movement. She can only remember her own names - fortunately, she has a good memory, she can remember every step of the complex and subtle dance steps, and it is not difficult to keep a roster.
Writing it down like this, she found that she knew the names of several of them well-she had been in the East Palace for three years in her previous life, and she would hear a few people in her ears and know their official positions.
It is not exactly the same as that on the roster.
After all, the roster in his hand was deleted, altered, and changed, perhaps because Ning Xun had not completely made up his mind.
Anyway, the roster she gave Shen Che was not accurate, which was a good thing for her.
She didn't bother much, and after memorizing the contents, she closed the roster.
She put the roster back in its place and held up the candle on the bookcase.
Ji Chi glanced at the bed again, he just wanted to confirm it, but his heartbeat stopped in an instant, and the blood flowed backwards all over his body in an instant-the couch was empty, where was there a figure?
She subconsciously turned around with a candle holding a lamp, but just bumped into someone behind her.
The lamp and candle flickered, slowly upward, illuminating his face.
Ning Xun's face was calm, his eyes were very light when he looked at her, and for a moment, she only saw the light of the lamp and his own face in his pupils.
She was too frightened to notice that the candlestick in her hand was tilted, and a drop of wax oil fell on the back of her hand. Her hand loosened in pain, and the candlestick was taken steadily by him in mid-air, and placed in the corner of the bookcase.
It was happening so fast that before he could react, he took a step closer and trapped her in front of the bookcase.
He was too close, and when he lowered his head slightly, his breath fell on the side of her neck.
The scar on her neck, which had long been too faint to be seen, suddenly hurt, and she felt his killing intent in an instant.
Instinctively, she tried to run away, turned around him and ran around him—but she only took one step before he stopped her waist and circled her from behind.
For the first time, she intuitively felt the gap between the strength of the two, and her struggle could not shake him at all, and she was hugged to the book case in a daze.
The blood rushed to her head, and she realized later—where could she run?
After a few breaths, he calmed down and looked at his expression carefully: "Your Highness scared me." ”
He looked at her from top to bottom, pinching her chin with one hand, so that she couldn't avoid his gaze, and it didn't take much effort, but he didn't dare to move.
He seemed to chuckle, "What are you afraid of?" ”
The author has something to say:
Title: Mom, Mom, he's going to kill me!!
Ning Xun: ? When???
Title: Right now, ahhhhhhh!!h
Ning Xun: I want to kill Shen Che.
Rank: (suddenly relieved) That's good.
Shen Che: ? I'm part of your play, am I?

Chapter 35
◎ At this moment, she was convinced that Ning Xun was suspicious of her. ◎
The title of Chi was disgusted, and he slowly leaned back, trying to stay away from him: "In the middle of the night, the third watch, His Highness suddenly appeared behind him, and he was naturally afraid. ”
I still want to quibble.
His thumb slid inwards and pressed against the corner of her lips, lightly and heavily.
She seemed to tremble, moving further and further back.
"So far away from Lonely, afraid of Lone," he paused, and continued with a smile, "Kill you?" ”
As soon as he said this, he completely calmed down.
If he really wants to kill her, he can't talk nonsense with her.
In the current situation, either he decided that she had different intentions and wanted to pry out the mastermind behind the scenes, or he was not sure, so he deceived her.
This is not the way the interrogation should be, and the latter is obviously more likely.
She did have a very brief moment of doubting whether Ning Xun knew everything a long time ago.
But this thought was immediately dispelled by herself—she had never shown a flaw before, and if he had known the Second Prince's intentions from the beginning, he would have known it in his previous life.
If you know, how can you end up with a failure?
She can't mess with herself.
Tiechi propped himself up and raised his eyes to look at him, the pair of phoenix eyes that were slightly raised added to the charm against the background of the candlelight, and his tone was as usual: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, and Tiechi is just afraid that he will be sick to His Highness." ”
Besides, where is she far away from him? She moved back an inch, and he leaned forward, and she was trapped between the inches, her back almost taped to the stacked books on the desk.
Ning Xun stood up straight, and the hand that pinched her chin naturally went around the back of her neck, and sat her up straight as well.
Chichi's hand was still supporting the bookcase behind him, his forearms straightened, and he exhaled softly.
Bet right again.
His tone softened for three minutes, but his gaze was still scrutinizing, as if he wanted to dissect her from it: "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what do you do to see these things?" ”
Jack Chi said half-truthfully: "I slept too long during the day, and I couldn't sleep when I lay down with a pain in my back." But seeing that His Highness was working hard, and he was afraid of disturbing His Highness, he came down for a walk. ”
"Seeing the messy stacking on the bookcase, I wanted to clean up for His Highness." She glanced at the book, and there was clarity in her eyes: "Your Highness is suddenly nervous, is it because of these?" ”
Then he was a little curious, raised his eyes and asked him, "What are these?" ”
Ning Xun followed her gaze and glanced at her, and the momentum around her body suddenly became gloomy, which made people feel cold.
His gaze fell back on her face, and he exerted faint pressure: "Haven't you opened it and seen it?" ”
Her innocence seemed to be a little ashamed, and she said, "I flipped it twice, but I didn't know how to read......"
He burst out laughing, and for a moment the hand that was propped up on the bookcase flexed nervously, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
The next moment, the hand clasped on the back of her neck suddenly forced, she was hooked forward, her lips almost hit his lips and teeth, and the subconscious exclamation was swallowed by him, leaving only an ambiguous tail.
The other hand fell on her waist, he seemed to be hot, and the temperature on his body was always higher than that of ordinary people, especially his hand, which was not much better than the stove.
She likes warm things, especially on rainy days. When his hand came up through the thin undershirt, the sudden rise in temperature made her waist tingle.
He seemed to have heard the phrase "back pain", and slowly rubbed her waist, with proper strength, but the waist under his palm was suddenly tense.
Ning Xun slowed down her attack, and instead kissed her jawline, and finally landed on her earlobe.
When he opened his eyes and looked at him, his head began to heat again, and the fire burned to his ears. She was afraid that he would really catch the cold because of this, and wanted to push him away, but she almost fell off the bookcase for a while, and had to press most of the weight on him.
The book was accidentally pushed down by her and scattered to the ground. The roster she had just seen was spread out at the top.
Ning Xun slowly tightened her, and whispered to her between kisses against her ear, meaningful: "Gu has given so much, it's not too much to ask for interest, right?" ”
She thought he was talking about a room full of rewards, and her brain began to dull again, and she unconsciously let out a "hmm".
He kissed it again, no longer stormy, gentle as if he was tempting, tempting her to take the initiative to step into this Hongmen banquet.
When he woke up, it was noon on the second day.
With a terrible headache, she stared at the bed tent for a long time before remembering the roster she had written down last night.
Fortunately, Ning Xun was stopped by her, otherwise in the situation last night, no one would have had time to do anything if he gave her a cane to kill on the spot.
The last memory of last night was very vague, she only remembered that she was powerless to lean on his arms, Ning Xun soon found that her body was burning hot, and carried her back to the couch.
The palace maid with eyes opened the curtain and came in, and the pond sat up, and before she could ask questions, she said with a blessing: "The slave maid Caiyue has just been transferred to the girl to serve." ”
It was the same in her previous life, once she had a little headache and brain fever, she would have two more people here to serve her, and she would go back when she got better. Every time the person who comes back is different, and she doesn't bother to remember it.
She didn't want to speak because of a sore throat, so she just nodded, and Caiyue freshened up for her.
I didn't have much energy, I closed my eyes and recuperated for a while when I combed my hair, and then I opened my eyes and saw that someone was dipped in water in front of the mirror and wrote the word "Shen".
Her heart moved, but she looked away as if she hadn't seen anything.
- I don't know if this is really Shen Che's person, or if Ning Xun sent her to test her.
