Alternate Performances of the East Palace, Section 52
Almost instantly, he remembered someone.
Remember the identity, which identity?
To be able to get such a smell, you must have had close contact in a cramped space.
Was it on the carriage that sent her back to the East Palace?
Ning Xun looked at her silently, his face did not change, but his heart was already turbulent.
I didn't see it at the banquet, so I didn't hesitate to let Ning Zhen come forward directly to stop people, and I wanted to see it this time.
Ning Xun couldn't help but sneer in his heart, he was so reluctant to let go, why did he send people over and over again?
But even if Shen Che treated her like this, she still chose his side.
The scent of herbs on her body seemed to be getting stronger, and the smoke gave him a headache.
Sensing the gaze of the person beside him, he turned his head to look at him defenselessly.
But he was suddenly dragged forward by him, and was beaten and picked up the moment he crashed into his arms.
Ning Xun walked out with her in his arms, and when he passed by the stunned Changle, he didn't stop for a moment, but only indifferently ordered: "Huaihe, send Changle out." ”
He hesitated and gently grabbed the placket of his clothes: "Your Highness? ”
What did he suddenly go crazy again?
He only answered, and he was puzzled: "Where is this going?" ”
"Lonely wants to bathe."
She was stunned for a moment: "That...... I can go back by myself, and I don't have to send it to His Highness himself. ”
"You stay and wait."
She could only say "yes", and then was silent for a moment, trying to struggle: "I can go by myself." ”
He didn't speak, but suddenly sent her up, and the chichi subconsciously wrapped his arms around his neck.
All the way to the soup pool, the palace people quickly prepared everything and retreated.
Ning Xun put her on the edge of the pool, squatted beside her, still without saying a word, and began to untie her shoes and socks.
Startled, he shrank back, trying to avoid him.
He didn't raise his head, he had already taken off her shoes and boots, and explained lightly: "If you don't take it off, you will go into the water, it will be uncomfortable to absorb the water." ”
"I'm here to serve His Highness, how can I go into the water......"
He raised his eyes: "How can you serve if you don't go into the water?" ”
After coming in, the temperature on her body was a little higher, and the scent of herbs became more and more obvious, stained with moisture, and the mist lingered on the sides of the two.
The author has something to say:
Ning Xun: You have the smell of his medicine on you, which is a sin committed by my nose.
Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2023-08-02 18:11:45~2023-08-03 17:53:36~
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: atui 5 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 45
◎ She was almost vexatiously thinking, if only he had been there at that time, it would be nice to save her. ◎
The moment he reached out to untie her coat, the bare toes of the pond unconsciously straightened, and he stepped on the water twice in a panic. The high splash of water wet the corners of his clothes, and he did not move in a hurry, easily restraining her intention to flee, or explaining: "Take off the coat, otherwise it will be cumbersome." ”
Throw away the herb-scented coat, and the surroundings are finally fresher.
But if you get close to her, you can still smell it. Ning Xun frowned, wisps of it, like a thin net, covering her hood inside, separating her from him.
How long did they stay, and how did they get pickled?
Taking advantage of Ning Xun's lack of next move, the pond immediately got up, and felt a little more relieved when his feet stepped on the ground, and gathered his underwear, "Your Highness, the water temperature is just right, you can take a bath." ”
Ning Xun glanced at her and got up to untie his robe.
The hot spring water is drawn from the hot spring pool, and the water bubbles in, and a hot mist is steamed.
He looked away, suddenly remembered something, and froze in place.
If she remembers correctly, the arrow on the first night of last year was not shallow, and he should have a scar from an arrow wound on his left shoulder, right?
Should she pretend she doesn't remember anything, or should she recognize him as a matter of course?
No, if it's the latter, she's afraid she'll have to explain it here.
She lowered her head and heard the sound of him going into the water, the waves of water swinging and hitting the walls of the pool.
One step, two steps, gradually subsided.
His voice lowered by two minutes, revealing a loose energy: "Come here." ”
Jackie took a deep breath and looked up—fortunately, he was still wearing his underwear.
Presumably he also knew that he would be exposed.
He walked behind him and knelt down, not knowing what to do for a moment.
No one had taught her how to take a bath.
She only knew that the cicada's clothes were first scooped up and slowly poured water on her, but his underwear was still on, where did she pour it?
He pondered for a long time, and finally reached out and pressed his shoulders tentatively.
Seeing that he didn't stop him, and even leaned against the wall of the pool and closed his eyes, she kneaded it boldly and confidently, down her arm, all the way down to her elbow, and then to her forearm.
The lines on his body were tight, and they were hard to press, and after a while, his hands hurt from exhaustion.
His eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and he secretly reduced the strength of his hand, and slowly rubbed his wrist.
When he pressed to the base of his palm, his wrist suddenly pressed down, clasping her hand behind his back.
The moment he raised his eyes to look at him for some reason, he opened his eyes, and was frightened by his eyes, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand.
His gaze was soft, but she tasted a bit of blatant aggression—and it was hard to say. It's more like the time when the beast is quietly dormant before hunting.
Sensing her intention to retreat, Ning Xun grabbed her forearm and gently dragged it down - her center of gravity was unbalanced, and she fell into the soup pool, making a huge splash.
He protected it in time and didn't let her bump into it for half a minute.
The pool subconsciously clinged to the pool wall, and put his hand on the edge of the pool, after all, it was the body of Xi Dance, and the body's reaction would be faster, and his hands were dexterous and up-one hand went around her waist and took it back, and it didn't take much strength to easily stop her from turning over.
Ning Xun stuck up from behind her, and even freed up one hand to slowly untie her hairpin.
Her black hair was scattered, she was tied a little low, and the warm water ironed across her shoulders and neck.
Holding the edge of the pool with his hand, his heart beating violently, he scrambled to his feet, and he leaned over the side of her neck and sniffed, as if he was finally satisfied.
"Are your hands sore?"
He asked casually, and the hand holding the edge of the pool was taken away by him, rubbing it slowly, the tendons and veins were active, and her fingers curled up, "If Your Highness has no other instructions, the pool will be ...... first"
"The imperial doctor said that you should soak more and sleep well at night."
"Then wait for His Highness to finish soaking......"
He interrupted, "Lone just has something to ask you. ”
He pulled her soaked hair to one shoulder, "What did Ning Zhen tell you?" ”
After speaking, he added meaningfully: "There is no one else here." ”
The question is what has been said, not what has been said today.
Probably because she was a thief, she didn't hear the deep meaning of his words, and only repeated the original words she said in the study in a proper manner.
She turned her back to him, and could not see his expression, only a rough inference from his tone and movements.
He seemed to listen casually, only slowly brushing her hair, and she finished talking for a long time before asking, "That's all?" Don't rush, think about it. ”
Rank Pool nodded, "That's all." ”
Ning Xun's hand around her waist tightened, and she was completely carried away from the edge of the pool.
Sure enough, asking her that night when she was not awake was fruitless, and now she can't ask anything.
What is she?
Is it loyalty, or is it affectionate?
Again and again, this was the last time he asked her.
Since she won't say it, that's it.
Before he could say anything, he lowered his head and rested his chin lightly on her shoulder, "Remember what you said?" ”
She looked at the two arms he had wrapped around her beneath the water, and hugged them so tightly that she was a little out of breath.
She put her hand over his, and remembered for a moment—but she had said so much that she could remember everything.
"What?"
He chuckled, as if he was a little sneering: "Your heartfelt words are engraved in your heart. ”
This is familiar, and most of them are her "confessions".
She couldn't remember what she had said, but she repeated those few words, and immediately picked up his words: "Yes." ”
Her words were very smooth: "I have been devoted to His Highness, and I have liked His Highness since the day I first met. If you can stay by His Royal Highness's side for a long time, you will have no regrets in this life. ”
His strength around her became tighter and tighter, and his underwear was already thin, and when it was soaked, it was completely attached to his body. She could even feel his heartbeat, calm and powerful, "Forget so quickly, what a heartfelt statement?" ”
He leaned a little too close, and as he spoke, a warm breath spilled over her ear, and the whole person was hotter than the hot spring water.
What can she say, it is impossible not to admit it, but admitting it at this moment is faintly like some kind of permission.
Swallowed, thought of the wording, and turned to look at him: "Yes, but ......"
The end of the turn was choked by his lips and tongue. She was stunned for a moment, and didn't push him away—the first time she didn't push away, and then she gradually lost her head.
