Alternate Performances of the East Palace, Section 88
When she was called to the study by Ning Xun, she was still a little surprised.
After all, the two are still in the play - she is being suspected by him and treated coldly.
He had been coming to see her at night for the past few days, so how could he suddenly summon her over during the day?
What's more, for a long time ago, Ning Xun would not summon her - when he wanted to see her, he would come to her in person.
With a faint uneasiness in his heart, he pushed open the door of the study.
Not long after Ning Xun came back from the palace, she was still wearing the crown prince's round-necked python robe, and when she saw her come in, she raised her eyes and looked over.
He beckoned to her, a smile on his face as usual, "Come here." ”
The man who saw him was a little relieved, and turned to close the door first—so he didn't see it, and the smile in his eyes faded the moment she turned around.
The author has something to say:
Rank: (sighs) Uneasy. There was a premonition that he was going crazy.
Ning Xun: (keeps smiling)
Rank: Could it be that I'm thinking too much? (Loose one5#$%&

Chapter 76 (Revision)
◎ What I'm asking is, what are your plans for me and you? ◎
Ning Xun stretched out his hand to her, but he didn't pay attention to his look, and put his hand on it defenselessly, and was suddenly pulled into his arms by him, and was circled with his back to him.
He tightened so tightly that he felt suffocated, and he wanted to look back at him, but he was suddenly pinched by his jaw from behind.
Her movement of turning her head was blocked, and her neck was slightly raised along his movements, faintly feeling that something was not right, so she called tentatively: "Your Highness?" ”
He didn't answer for a long time, and he swallowed subconsciously, feeling the hand on her jaw tighten slowly, but it was still light, far from hurting her.
She couldn't help but ask again: "Your Highness is in such a hurry to summon me over, is there something wrong?" ”
Ning Xun lowered her head, the bridge of her nose rubbed against her neck socket, and the heat slowly spread, making her tremble.
His movements were gentle, and his words seemed to be complaining, but his expression between his low eyebrows was careless: "It's nothing, I just miss you." ”
With his back to Ning Xun, he didn't suspect him if he couldn't see nature, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and simply leaned on him, holding his hand in his chin, "Your Highness scared me."
She really thought something had happened.
"Pool." Ning Xun suddenly called her, and asked as if unintentionally, "Wait for this matter, what are your plans?" ”
He spoke so close to her that the voice seemed to run from the back of her neck straight into her head, causing ripples in her mind, giving her the illusion that she would be swallowed up in the next moment.
Zhichi thought about it seriously, "When Jingzhou settles down, the vitality of the second prince has almost recovered, and there will definitely be a move at that time......"
She paused for a moment, remembering that Ning Xun had said last time that he didn't want to use her to find out the news, so she simply said directly: "I will break it off with the second prince." ”
"That's not the case." His lips brushed against the back of her ear, itchy, and he ducked to one side, and he held it again.
The python robe was noble, slippery, and cold, and when he leaned over and stuck to it, she seemed to be trapped in his body, and it seemed to be strangled.
It's not forced, but there's nowhere to escape.
The smell of ambergris was strong and faint, and his heartbeat was steady, and through his chest, he hit her all at once: "What I asked was, what are the plans between you and me." ”
What is the plan?
Jackie was stunned—she really had never thought about it.
Since she made up her mind with Ning Xun, she rarely thought about it, consciously or unconsciously.
I'm afraid that she will inadvertently think of the fire in her previous life - she has seen the second prince one step away from that position, and she has seen Shen Che in power, so she can't be sure that she and Ning Xun will definitely win.
If you don't think about it, you won't look ahead.
Besides, she never thought about what position she wanted to put in the relationship between the two, or herself.
Like a moth throwing fire, she had already made her choice the moment she hugged him from the hanging waterfall, or earlier, the moment she rushed into the rain curtain to hug him.
She chose his side and would accompany him to the end. is like a mayfly, greedy for a glance, and it can also be dying in the twilight of life. Why bother with so many plans.
But this is unlucky after all, Zhichi thought about it, and finally only said: "It's all up to His Highness." ”
She wore a blue and white half-arm skirt today, and hung a piece of hibiscus flower-style jade around her waist to match, he wrapped one hand around her waist, played with the jade hanging on her waist, and raised his eyes when he heard the words: "Don't listen to the false, what do you want, tell me directly." ”
Before entering the door, the little uneasiness swelled, her feet were weak, and she wanted to get down from him, and said lightly: "I can't think of it for a while, why don't you talk about it later?" ”
In the space of speaking, she pushed Ning Xun's arm away, stepped on the ground, and took half a step out, one step - she didn't want to run, but she wanted to turn around and face him.
She had to look at him to figure out what he was thinking.
But at the moment when she was about to turn around, he grabbed her wrist precisely, calculated the timing, and with a single pull, her unsteady figure fell towards him like a bird with broken wings—she was grabbed by him and firmly tucked into his arms.
Ji Chi raised her eyes in astonishment, and met his inquiring gaze - although it was out of place, this posture reminded her of the time when she deliberately approached him by dancing at the night banquet in the East Palace a year ago.
That kind of aggression with a little strangeness, although they are very close, but they are inexplicably alienated. There seemed to be something she didn't know, boiling over his bones.
He frowned slightly, always feeling a little abnormal.
"In the future?"
Ning Xun savored these two words carefully and chuckled.
Did she think about the "future" with him?
He lowered his head, looked straight into her eyes, and added slowly: "You don't have to wait, what you can give it to you will be given right away, and if you can't give it to you for the time being, I won't be dizzy, you can rest assured." ”
"So, you can go down first."
"But I don't really want anything." ”
He looked at her deeply, leaned back, and seemed to have finally given up asking her this question, and instead asked her about Song Rongying's next steps.
He changed the subject too quickly, and he reacted, sitting up straight in his arms, looking at him suspiciously.
He let her look at her, holding her loosely with one hand, and resting the other hand on the bookcase, knocking on and down.
The chichi suppressed the faint strangeness in his heart, and focused on getting down to business first.
She took out a handkerchief embroidered with orchids from her body—the handkerchief was folded squarely, brand new, but the creases were deep, and she should have been carefully collecting it for some time.
"This handkerchief has exactly the same two sides, both of which are embroidered with orchids, one is with me and the other is in my mother's hand. When His Highness's people go to pick up my mother, give her this veil, and she will understand. ”
When you really go to rob people, you can't show your face, you have to win the trust of Song Rongying, this veil is more effective than anything else.
Ning Xun took it, "Okay." ”
The two of them discussed the rest of the details, deduced the various situations, and slowly forgot about the wrongness when they first entered the door.
Seeing that everything was almost fixed, Ning Xun asked her quietly: "Did you forget to tell me anything before?" ”
Akichi was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”
She subconsciously was a little alert: "Why did Your Highness suddenly remember to ask this?" ”
He smoothed her back soothingly, as if unintentionally: "Ask casually." ”
Her heart beat tightly, and she thought about it carefully, she had already said everything she needed to say, and she insisted on saying that there was anything to hide...... I can't say anything about rebirth, the words of the mad monk are still in my ears, what if it really breaks Ning Xun's lifespan? Even if she doesn't believe this, she should be a little scared.
What's more, this thing is so appalling, even if she says it, maybe no one will believe it.
This is the only thing she is hiding from him. If you talk about trivial things, there is another one, which is Shen Che's jade pendant.
But Yu Pei is afraid that it is already in the hands of the Xining County Lord at this time, and it is not surprising that it will not appear in front of them again in this life.
Zhichi hesitated for a moment - even though he knew that she didn't have any thoughts about Shen Che, Ning Xun still cared a lot about this person, not to mention the meaning of this jade pendant......
At the beginning, she asked for this jade pendant because she had just been reborn, she couldn't control what she was thinking, and she always behaved a little strangely when facing Shen Che. In order to dispel Shen Che's doubts, she made this decision.
She has a clear conscience, but it is not easy to explain to Ning Xun.
Forget it, more is better than less.
Ning Xun knocked on the bookcase, evenly again and again, she didn't speak, Ning Xun didn't urge, there was only the sound of tapping on the bookcase in the room for a while, and it became heavier and heavier as she was silent for a while.
"Nope."
The sound of percussion stopped abruptly.
He seemed to sigh, then he seemed to laugh, and finally asked, "What do you really want?" ”
Akichi paused, and shook her head slowly—only then did she connect the two of his anomalies together.
Wrong.
But before she could react, he took her hand and opened the drawer on the side, smiling: "Then how can you talk to Shen Che, what do you want?" ”
Chi Chi looked over with his movements—in the empty drawer, the Pisces jade pendant that should have been in Xining's hand was lying quietly in the middle. The jade pendant is delicately carved and vivid, and the two fish that bite each other seem to be able to swim down from the drawer and bite her.
She stiffened, and it was hard to control her expression—first incredulous, then downright flustered.
On the one hand, because the plan was disrupted, Xining's section couldn't be connected, and I didn't know what would happen later.
On the other hand...... She thought that Ning Xun would not know about the existence of this jade pendant.
Zhichi subconsciously clenched his hand, his voice was low, and he said unhurriedly: "I want to ask why Yu Pei is here with me?" ”
"Someone sent it. Chi Qingxuan thought hard, if I hadn't known that you had found her, I wouldn't have been able to find her just by checking the person. ”
He didn't have time to think about this for a while, turned his head to look at Ning Xun, and when he met his unsmiling gaze, his heart, which had been rising and falling, sank completely.
"What's the panic?" Ning Xun withdrew his hand from her hand and asked her lightly, "Afraid I know?" ”
He was smiling on his face, but his eyes were cold, "When you want to hide it, why aren't you afraid that one day, I will find out that you have hidden me?" ”
asked Shen Che for the position of the princess, but he didn't ask for anything from him.
Should he still be glad that she could be so considerate of him?
He let go, and his hand was empty, and she shook it twice unconsciously, then quickly raised her hand to grab his sleeve.
