A brute force dragged her out of the water from top to bottom.

The moment she met Ning Xun's eyes at first glance, she completely lost her strength, lying on her back on the wetland on the shore, gasping for breath, and only hearing her own violent heartbeat like a drum in her ears for a while.

She turned her head sideways and looked at Ning Xun.

He had just regained consciousness, and when he pulled her out, he was too fast and too violent, and he coughed for a while, and a large pool of blood came out of the arrow wound.

It took him two times to get up from the ground and look at his injury, although he was exhausted, his tone was still anxious: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to find anyone for a while, Your Highness's injury needs to be treated, and I can't delay it any longer......"

He was wounded at the bottom of his right shoulder, the arrow did not pierce it, and it did not look very dangerous, but it was bleeding profusely.

Ning Xun held her hand, and his voice was hoarse: "I put Ming Di when I abandoned the horse, wait a while, someone will find me." ”

So asking her to find someone was really just an excuse to urge her to get out.

Ji Chi pursed her lips, her heartbeat slowed down a bit, and she went to take off his clothes, "Then stop the bleeding first." How could you be so badly injured......"

Ning Xun leaned against a stone on the shore, there was no trace of blood on her face, let her peel off her clothes layer by layer, tore a strip of cloth for her, instructed her where to tie it tightly, and had the leisure to explain to her: "It didn't hurt the vital point, but this crossbow arrow is specially made, although it is small and not very powerful, but the moment it is nailed into the flesh, it will release inverted claws, and it will only hurt more seriously if it is hard to take it out." ”

He tried to get it out, but when he realized something was wrong, he stopped. It looked like it was just a short arrow, but in fact, the wound inside was much deeper than it looked.

Clothes are wet, but they are better than no clothes at all. Tie the strip of cloth tightly, re-tie his garment, and look up at him.

It's good that he wasn't left on it.

How insidious is the person behind the scenes, knowing that if he can't die, even if he is injured, he has to hurt him so hard to stop.

He was soaking wet, leaning his head back against the stones, breathing shallowly, his eyes half-closed, and his shirt stained with blood.

In front of her, consciously or unconsciously, he didn't show such a fragile attitude. But even when I was embarrassed before, it wasn't like now.

The fingertips stained with his blood hurt, and she twisted them unconsciously, her fingers were already soaked in the water, and in a twist, she felt that the soreness spread along her forearm to her heart.

Akichi knelt beside him and carefully stroked his right shoulder, "Does it hurt?" ”

She knew that this sentence was actually unnecessary, the new injury that the bleeding had not stopped, and she had just been soaked in water, how could it not hurt?

But she still blurted out a question. Maybe it's because he's used to saying it hurts, and if he can say it, how can it get better.

She had asked him many times before, the most recent time was when she asked him about the old injury a year ago at the Lantern Festival, and the farthest time was when he had just entered the East Palace, when he was reprimanded by the saint and injured on his forehead - a small injury, she pretended to ask, but he calmly responded "It hurts".

Ning Xun opened his eyes, looked at her and smiled, "It doesn't hurt." ”

He half-stood up and hugged her gently, "It's just a small injury, I'm used to it." ”

After a pause, he didn't say anything, just hugged him back. She didn't have any warmth on her, so she could barely block the wind for him.

His men must be coming soon.

"Don't take such risks in the future. What if you can't pull me, and you're swept down by the water? ”

She replied sullenly: "I'm good at water." ”

Ning Xun's voice was weak, but he still smiled: "So you said you can't water before, you were lying to me?" ”

Ji Chi looked up and saw that he seemed a little tired, and recognized it without thinking about it: "Yes." I have lied to Your Highness a lot, and Your Highness had better stay awake all the time, otherwise you won't be able to finish listening. ”

She was afraid that he would really lose consciousness at this time, so she barely paused, and continued to say: "I have deceived His Highness from the beginning, when I entered the East Palace, and it was also on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Ning Xun chuckled, "You're really not afraid of making me angry at this time." ”

In his voice, for example, he was full of energy, and the sense of burnout that seemed to be about to lose consciousness was also weakened.

Visible is useful.

It's better to be angry than to faint.

And...... When she was in the water just now, she pushed Ning Xun ashore, and the moment she thought she was going to be swept away, the strongest thought in her heart was regret.

Regret not telling him all this.

Yu Chi hugged him tightly: "What did you say on Chinese New Year's Eve that you were rescued by Shen Che on the way to sell, it's fake." I grew up in Jiangnan, and my biological father was Chi Licheng, a servant of the Ministry of Officials......"

She told Ning Xun little by little, as if she was afraid of being interrupted by him, and said it very quickly - from how Chi Licheng left their mother and daughter, to her life in Jiangnan when she was a child, to the two years when she rescued Shen Che, and then to the Chi family's use of Song Rongying to force her into the East Palace......

"It's a lie to say that you can't read, and it's a lie to you to say that you can't water. Since I entered the East Palace, I have participated in most of the bureaus set up by the second prince against His Royal Highness. ”

She felt his breathing, making sure he was still awake, but she didn't dare to look up at him.

"The words he said on Chinese New Year's Eve were also taught by Shen Che. It's not sincere, it's just to stabilize His Highness first, win trust, and then confuse the truth with the false. ”

After saying all these words, she felt a lot lighter, but she still didn't dare to look at him, paused, and whispered: "How will His Highness punish him after he goes back, if he wants to beat or kill, he will admit it." ”

She waited for his reaction, but was afraid that he would be really angry, so the hand holding him slowly loosened.

Maybe it's because my heart has been hanging for too long, but when it really comes to the moment when I talk about it, the uneasiness in my chest has faded.

It was like a long trial, and now that the dust had settled, she had come to take her end.

Ning Xun suddenly coughed, and it took a while to calm down: "You really want to be angry with me." ”

"If you want to fight or kill, can I keep you to this day? I, the prince, deserve it, but I won't be so useless. ”

"Did I say it clearly enough, or did you forget it all when you heard it? You can't remember the words of the confession, but you remember the fight and kill clearly. ”

Zhichi raised his head suddenly, his eyes were stunned, "Your Highness already knows?" ”

He let out a "hmm" and said indifferently: "You know it from the moment you step into the East Palace." In other words, it started on the first night of last year when you said that you were going to enter the East Palace to dance. But your background is carefully hidden, I only know that you are sent by Ning Zhen, and I know that you are involved with Shen Che, so I can't find out clearly. ”

The chime was silent.

So he knew he was acting from the beginning?

She is still cautious day and night, for fear of being exposed. Since he already knew how good it was to pick it directly a few days ago, it would not be possible for her to hesitate to toss and turn for so many days before she made up her mind.

It felt like accumulating strength for a long time, and then in the end, it punched into the cotton.

Ning Xun smiled, resting his chin on her shoulder, and pulled her into his arms in an extremely fitting gesture.

His tone was soft, and his voice was slow, so he showed a bit of solemnity, and seemed to sigh: "I am very happy to finally wait for the day when you speak." ”

Her voice was dull: "But Your Highness will know it early tomorrow." ”

"Whether I know it or not, and whether you want to tell me or not, are two different things."

She hesitated, then slowly clasped her hand over his shoulder, taking most of his weight.

Because at the edge of the pool, the sound of the waterfall was fierce, and the wind was sharp and slow, sending the fragrance of flowers and plants mixed with water vapor - but the clothes were soaked, and the wind blew and was very cold.

Ji Chi hugged Ning Xun tighter, using his barely rising body temperature to warm him. She didn't have the strength to move herself and him, and the ground where the two of them were staying, even the mud under their feet was wet.

New grass is growing, and fireflies grow faintly from the grass mixed with gravel on the shore, and slowly fly into the night.

Noticing that his breathing gradually stabilized, and he seemed to be a little tired, he spoke out in time and led him to speak: "When I was talking just now, why did Your Highness keep silent?" I thought His Highness was angry. ”

He only replied briefly, as if he was too tired to speak.

She asked reluctantly, "So what is Your Highness thinking?" ”

When she asked about this, Ning Xun could only speak, because of her weakness, her voice was soft, and she easily dispersed into the wind: "I'm thinking, it's still too late for me to make you suffer so many twists and turns." ”

She shook her head, "Your Highness has arrived just in time. ”

Before she had time to think about it, she already had it.

He chuckled softly, "Speak well." ”

"I've been deceived twice just on my identity, it's fake to be illiterate, it's fake to know water, not to mention falling in love at first sight."

"What else is true?"

She didn't even think about it, "It's fake at first sight, but it's not." ”

"It's true that I like Your Highness."

The author has something to say:

Qingheng: (rewind to the previous year) The subordinates said that they fell in love at first sight, and this excuse couldn't be faker!

Cicada: They're real!

Qingheng: Who else will believe it but you?

Chapter 69

◎ Ning Xun, who cares about something, never hides it, he cares blatantly. ◎

When her voice fell, Ning Xun suddenly fell silent.

The pond raised his eyes and crashed into the turbulent waves in his eyes. The feeling of suffocation was overwhelmed, and for a moment she even suspected that she would drown in his eyes.

After a long time, she heard him say slowly, "Then I'll take it seriously." ”

"From now on, you can't lie to me, you can't hide it from me. That's all I have to ask for. ”

"In the same way, I will not deceive you in any way. Anytime you have something to say, instead of listening to someone else, you should come and ask me personally. ”

Some things are like this, and in the same way, if someone with a heart interferes with them, and when it reaches the ears of another person, it completely changes its meaning.

- What's more, there are many caring people around her.

He had to guard against it.

She replied, "Okay." ”
