20 Chapter 20

The bright sunlight stabbed Shen Ruolian's eyes slightly, and the next moment, she hurriedly looked in the direction of the head of the bed.

"The princess is awake? What's wrong? ”

Standing at the top was Pei Ci'an, who saw her wake up at this moment, came over with a worried face, and asked anxiously.

Shen Ruolian subconsciously looked at Yan Wen who was standing behind Pei Ci'an.

His face was as calm and gentle as ever, and he happened to be looking at her as she looked at him.

Her gaze crossed over to Pei Ci'an and looked at him, trying to see a clue in his eyes.

- She instinctively felt that the finger that lingered on her cheek was his, and it felt exactly the same way he felt when he touched the back of her ear that day.

However, she looked at him for a long time, and did not see any abnormality in his face and eyes, he just looked at her quietly, smiled faintly at her, and said softly:

"Just wake up."

Like every time of the year, gentle, warm, and ...... Alienation.

Shen Ruo suppressed her emotions, pretended not to know that someone had touched her face, and retracted her gaze to look at Pei Ci'an, "I want to drink water." ”

"Okay."

Pei Ci'an nodded, and was about to pour water, Qiu Rong, who was standing behind, hurriedly said: "Miss, why don't you drink the medicine directly, the temperature of this medicine is just right, if it is cooler, I am afraid that the effect of the medicine will be lost." ”

Shen Ruolian didn't wake up just now, this medicine has been hot twice, and it is going to be cold again at this moment.

Shen Ruolian hesitated when she heard this, wanting to be coquettish, but seeing that the two men on the side of the bed looked like they were going to watch her drink the medicine, she had to accept her fate and said miserably:

"That'...... Okay".

Qiu Rong stepped forward to help her sit up and handed the medicine to her mouth.

Shen Ruolian couldn't help frowning when she smelled the bitter taste, and inexplicably resisted the bowl of black medicine in front of her, and her tongue had already subconsciously begun to go numb and bitter.

There was no way, she couldn't drink medicine since she was a child, it was so bitter that she almost vomited as soon as she drank it.

"Why is it such a big bowl, you can't put a little less ...... when you fry it"

Her voice was hoarse and weak, and she whispered to Qiu Rong like a kitten whimpering.

Qiu Rong couldn't help laughing, and whispered in her ear:

"Drink quickly, princess, there will be sugar to eat after drinking."

At the end, she added, "Pei Gongzi gave it." ”

When the princess was a child, he rarely let the princess eat sugar on the grounds that "eating too much sugar is not good for her teeth", and this time the sugar was just now when Pei Gongzi took advantage of her in the kitchen to decoct the medicine, and came over to secretly stuff it for her.

Shen Ruolian subconsciously looked up at Pei Ci'an when she heard this, and saw that Pei Ci'an's expression was slightly unnatural, so she couldn't help but smile sweetly at him.

Then her eyes returned to the bowl of medicine, took a deep breath, cheered herself up in her heart, took the bowl of medicine, pinched her nose and dried it in one go.

Quite a bit of generosity.

Pei Ci'an looked at it and wanted to laugh, and couldn't help but wonder, did she drink medicine like this since she was a child, why didn't she know her earlier.

After serving Shen Ruolian to drink, Qiu Rong took out a piece of candy and quietly put it in her mouth, and helped her lie down, "The princess will rest for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already sent someone to prepare the carriage, and the slaves and maids will go to pack up their things." ”

Shen Ruolian was pulling the lychee-flavored gummies in her mouth with the tip of her tongue, nodded when she heard the words, didn't speak, and closed her eyes slowly.

After a while, Pei Ci'an asked her, "Does the princess still feel burned?" Where else is the discomfort? ”

Shen Ruolian felt it for a while, and felt that it didn't seem to be so uncomfortable, she shook her head, opened her eyes, and just went to see Pei Ci'an, only to find that Yan Wen was still standing not far behind Pei Ci'an.

It seems that he hasn't moved since she woke up just now.

Shen Ruolian was a little surprised, and hurriedly hid the candy in her mouth under her tongue, and then spoke, "It's much better, I feel sweaty after drinking that medicine." ”

After speaking, she looked at Yan Wen again and asked with some weakness:

"Didn't the imperial brother go to look at Sister Sun? How is she? ”

Fortunately, Yan Wen didn't seem to notice that there was a candy hidden in her mouth, so she only said lightly:

"She's fine, there's Li Fuan watching over there, Lonely-"

Before the words fell, a sound of footsteps sounded at the door, and Sun Jingchu's weak voice came from outside, "Your Highness, how is the princess?" Awakened? ”

Shen Ruolian's expression froze, and she really wanted to pass out again at this moment.

She closed her eyes and quietly rolled her eyes, and couldn't help pouting at Pei Ci'an, complaining to him about how this person was haunted.

Pei Ci'an had heard her say before that she didn't like Sun Jingchu, he happened to be facing away from Sun Jingchu's direction, and when he saw her complaining, he asked her with a lip smile, "Do you need me to send her away for you?" ”

Shen Ruolian's eyes rolled, she thought for a while, then deflated, and replied to him with her mouth, "Forget it." ”

Shen Ruolian was facing the outside, although Yan Wen couldn't see Pei Ci'an's expression, he could know that Shen Ruolian was whispering something with Pei Ci'an at the moment.

The two of you come and go, but it seems to be quite interesting.

He looked at it quietly, turned around, frowned slightly, and said softly to Sun Jingchu:

"You should go back and rest."

Sun Jingchu's body was still a little weak, and when she came over, she held on to the door frame, and after entering the door, she also held on to the table and walked in.

Yan Wen stood in front of the bed and watched, and didn't go up to help her, but Li Fuan chased in from outside and helped Sun Jingchu sit down on the stool next to the bed.

"It's all because I asked the princess to go to the lake to watch the fish, which caused the princess to fall into the water, fortunately the princess is fine, otherwise Jingchu would be to blame for her death."

As she spoke, her eyes flushed.

Her face was already pale, with a sense of weakness, and her eyes were red again at the moment, and she really looked pitiful.

Shen Ruo snorted angrily and muttered in a low voice, "Fake." ”

This voice was not loud, only Pei Ci'an, who was closest to her, heard it clearly.

Although he didn't approve of Shen Ruolian's direct face to Sun Jingchu, he didn't say anything, and only smiled and replied for Shen Ruolian:

"Miss Sun, don't blame yourself, the princess doesn't blame you, and now the princess is fine, Miss Sun has also fallen into the water, so she should go and rest."

Sun Jingchu wanted to say anything more, Yan Wen rushed in front of her and said to Li Fuan, "Fu'an, you go and take the bracelet to the abbot." ”

As he spoke, he took off the rosewood bracelet on his wrist and handed it to Li Fuan, "Let the abbot see if there is any way to maintain it." ”

After a pause, "If you really can't, then burn." ”

The rosewood bracelet has been soaked in water for a long time, if it is not well maintained, it will bulge and crack in the later stage, in fact, the moment it is launched, it is almost wasted.

When Shen Ruolian heard Yan Wen say that he was going to burn his bracelet, he was startled, and suddenly looked sideways at him, but saw that he still had a clear expression on his face, and he didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with burning this bracelet that had been carried for more than ten years.

It's just that when he inadvertently glanced at Sun Jingchu, there seemed to be a flash of fierceness in his eyes.

Shen Ruolian thought that she had seen it wrong.

She subconsciously followed his line of sight to look at Sun Jingchu, and unexpectedly saw that Sun Jingchu had already restrained her pitiful appearance, but her face was whiter than before, as if she was frightened by something.

Although she felt that the bracelet was very important to Yan Wen, she didn't think that he would be angry with her for saving her and destroying the bracelet.

So Shen Ruolian didn't understand that Yan Wen wanted to burn the bracelet, what Sun Jingchu was afraid of.

She scratched her little head, and finally decided that she didn't care about them, what did their business have to do with her.

Taking advantage of Yan Wen's lack of attention here, Shen Ruolian leaned over again and quietly coquettished Pei Ci'an:

"Oh, that medicine just now is too bitter, why is it still very bitter in my mouth, what did the sugar taste like just now, why didn't I taste it."

How could Pei Ci'an not know what she was thinking, glanced at her with a smile, and secretly stuffed a candy in her mouth behind Yan Wen's back.

It's still lychee-flavored.

Shen Ruolian smacked her lips in satisfaction, closed her eyes, and played with the candy with the tip of her tongue in her mouth.

Love whoever you want.

She's a patient anyway, and she's the biggest today.

Yan Wen stood in place, quietly watching Shen Ruolian coquettish Pei Ci'an, and after Li Fuan left, he stayed for a while and left.

Sun Jingchu sat there, and when she saw that the two of them ignored her, she was bored, and she left not long after.

Not long after, Qiu Rong came in and said that his things were packed up and he could go back to the palace.

"Your Highness said that you should lie down and recuperate now, and his carriage is large, so let you sit in his carriage."

Shen Ruolian didn't think much about it, and was helped out by Pei Ci'an.

When she got into the carriage of the East Palace, she just turned her head to ask Pei Ci'an to come up, when she saw Li Fuan stretching out his hand to stop the person.

Li Fuan smiled:

"Master Pei, the road back to the palace is still long, the princess wants to lie in the carriage to recuperate, although the carriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is spacious, but this one sits and lies, I'm afraid there is no extra space, we asked the temple to borrow a carriage, you see——"

He didn't finish his sentence, and the last word was stretched out in a long tone.

Pei Ci'an didn't think much about it, he took a step back, first glanced at Shen Ruolian, gave her a soothing smile, and then said to Li Fuan:

"What Father-in-law Li said is that I didn't think it through."

At this moment, the sun has begun to set west, and it is really not appropriate to delay any longer, Shen Ruolian looked at his back walking towards the carriage over there, bit his lip, and finally got into the carriage without saying anything.

Li Fuan saw the princess enter, sat back on the wheel, looked at the temple behind him, and couldn't help but think of today's events.

Today, His Royal Highness and Pei Gongzi happened to arrive at the lake at almost the same time, and the princess and Miss Sun had been struggling in the water for a while at that time, and the two were some distance away from each other in the lake.

His Royal Highness almost subconsciously wanted to save the princess, but as soon as he took a step, he saw Pei Gongzi jumping down and swimming towards the princess first, His Royal Highness seemed to hesitate for a moment, and immediately ordered him to ask Xue Nian to drive the people nearby away.

Originally, His Royal Highness asked him to go down to save Miss Sun, but he couldn't swim in the water, so His Royal Highness jumped down to save Miss Sun by himself.

Although His Royal Highness didn't say anything afterwards, Li Fuan himself felt extremely ashamed.

-

Shen Ruolian's body was still very weak, and she was sweating a little now, and she didn't have any strength at all at the moment.

As soon as she entered the carriage, she saw that the couch facing the carriage door had been covered with soft cushions and a thick felt blanket, and she went over and lay down without saying a word.

After a few moments, she heard a commotion outside, and then the footsteps that were too familiar to be familiar approached the carriage.

Shen Ruolian's heart suddenly rose, she hurriedly closed her eyes, deliberately slowed down her breathing, and pretended to be asleep.

Suddenly, the body shook, the curtain was lifted, the carriage lit up for a moment, and then darkened, and the cold ambergris on the man's body slowly passed over.

Shen Ruolian's fingers hidden under the blanket tightened slightly, and a lot of fine sweat appeared in her palms, she felt that if he got closer at this moment, she would definitely be able to hear her violent heartbeat.

As soon as he sat down next to her, the carriage instantly became crowded and the temperature seemed to be much higher.

It had been a long time since she had been in a cramped, enclosed space like him, and his aura was so powerful that she could feel the aura of an adult male emanating from him even with her eyes closed.

Shen Ruolian felt that two deep and unknown lines of sight fell on his face, and he looked at her for a long time.

She was obviously angry that he didn't save her, but for some reason, as he approached at this moment, she became more and more nervous, and her breathing became a little disordered.

In fact, as long as she pretended to wake up, she would avoid those two scrutinizing eyes, but she didn't want to open her eyes when she thought of waking up and being in the same carriage with him.

She didn't really want to talk to him now, especially the scene where he was holding Sun Jingchu in the water, which made her feel more and more that she had no intention of talking to him.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the carriage to start slowly, and the two lines of sight that had been fixed on his face disappeared, and there was a faint sound in his ears.

After another moment, until the sound also disappeared, Shen Ruolian quietly lifted a slit in her eyelids.

Seeing that Yan Wen had already sat back, he was holding a book in his hand, and he was looking at it with a match.

He looked very leisurely when he read a book, his eyebrows were elegant and peaceful, the majesty and oppression on his body were much lighter, and he was dressed in an azure pigment robe, which made him show a little bit of the pure bearing of the noble son of the Shili family.

Apparently he was reading some miscellaneous books for his amusement.

Shen Ruolian rarely saw him read this kind of book, in her impression, he has always been a self-denying, gentle and gentle superior, he has extremely strict requirements for his words and deeds, and for what he reads and writes.

He was the most knowledgeable person she had ever seen.

That's why he can't look down on himself, only a famous lady like Miss Sun can raise eyebrows with him, Qin Se and Ming.

Shen Ruolian thought about it, and suddenly, a heavy forehead was heavy, and a cold palm covered her forehead.

"Since you are awake, get up and drink some water."

Yan Wen's voice was much softer than the eyes that fell on her face just now, I don't know if it was Shen Ruolian's illusion, there seemed to be some doting and pity in his tone, probably because she fell into the water and fell ill.

The hand probed her forehead for a moment, and then withdrew it, and she heard him whisper softly:

"It's not hot, get up and lean for a while, the road is still long, and it's even more uncomfortable to lie like this."
