Night had fallen quietly. Thousands of lights were lit up, and the spring breeze gently blew through the pavilions. A few spring swallows popped their heads out of their nests and looked at the window that was closed a little early.
Tap-tap —
Her footsteps were soft.
In the clean and elegant bedroom, the smell of medicine wafted in the air.
Xiao Xiang'er, who was wearing a fiery red dress, looked like she was wearing a wedding dress. Her long black hair was coiled up on her head, and her curves rose and fell from her shoulders. Together with her slender legs, she looked like a beautiful lady who did not need any embellishment. When she stood in the room, it seemed that even the dark room became a little brighter.
Xu Buling sat leaning against the wall. This time, he recognized the brand of rouge on the Empress Dowager's lips — Camellia Rouge from Xianzhi House.
Tap-tap —
Her palace shoes stepped on the carpet, and her steps were a little unsteady. She walked slowly to sit next to Xu Buling.
Xiao Xiang'er looked very calm with a mature face. She still looked like an elder looking at her nephew, but she could not hide the panic in her eyes.
"Empress Dowager..."
"Don't call me Empress Dowager..."
"Then what should I call them?"
"What are the names of these two people..."
"Oh..."
The whispers made the already strange atmosphere even stranger.
Xiao Xiang'er hesitated and looked at Xu Buling a few times. She thought to herself, "This is to save him, to save the people of the world. Save him, kill yourself tomorrow, don't think too much..."
After calming down a little, Xiao Xiang'er returned to her usual dignified manner. She felt that she should take the initiative since she was older, so she gritted her teeth and raised her face. She put on a resolute look that said, "The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the warrior will never return." She sat obediently with her hands on her waist and said in a low voice,
"You... um... help yourself..."
She did not know how she said "help yourself", but as soon as she said it, her face, which had calmed down with great difficulty, turned red again.
Xu Buring looked at the beautiful woman and thought for a moment. Just as he was about to approach her, he seemed to have affected his injuries. He sucked in a breath of cold air and his expression froze.
Xiao Xiang'er's expression was tense. She closed her eyes and did not dare to move. Xu Buling's eyelashes trembled every time he breathed, as if he was being tortured.
After a while, she could not take it anymore. She quietly opened her right eye and saw Xu Buling staring at her without moving. She was a little puzzled.
"What? ... Are you shy? It's nothing... "
To be able to comfort someone at a time like this, it could be seen how good his mental fortitude was.
"He said," and said, "" He said, ""... "
"Um … I'm injured … I can't move …"
“？？？”
Xiao Xiang 'er's face stiffened as she felt somewhat baffled.
The room became quiet, and the atmosphere became awkward.
...
As time passed, Xu Buring remained motionless and even put on an innocent look.
Xiao Xiang'er's face was as red as an apricot, and her expression was very strange. She struggled for a long time before she slowly sat down again and mumbled vaguely,
"What should I do..."
Xu Buling spread his hands slightly and asked even though he knew the answer.
"Yes... what should I do..."
“？？ ... You're a man... "
"... I know I'm a man... but I'm injured..."
"..."
Xiao Xiang'er widened her almond-shaped eyes and sat by the side. There was even a hint of grief and indignation in her eyes. 'What sin did I commit in my previous life to meet such an evil creature? A few days ago, I was full of energy and vigor, and now I even... even...
Xiao Xiang'er wanted to say something, but she hesitated. In the end, she gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm.
"Um... when I entered the palace, the nanny taught me how to serve people... I think... um... why don't you lie down?"
"Okay."
Xu Buling's expression was meticulous. He was very obedient and lay down comfortably.
Xiao Xiang'er looked like she was killing fish for the first time. She did not know how to do it. Her eyes sparkled, and she pinched the belt at her waist.
She thought for a moment, "I... saved you because you said, 'For the glory of the nation, He Xi, the son of the Xu Family, will die'... Don't think about it the wrong way. Even if you die in the future, you can't tell anyone about this..."
Xu Buring blinked his eyes and stared at those extremely beautiful eyes.
"Just because of this? Nothing else? "
Xiao Xiang'er instinctively avoided his gaze, but her expression did not change.
"No. If you think too much, then forget it."
Xu Buling smiled softly. "If you don't want to, then forget it. I'm not that kind of..."
"Shut up. Don't call me Empress Dowager... Don't call me Empress Dowager today..."
Xiao Xiang'er glared at him slightly. With the thought that it was better to get the pain over with than to get it over with, she raised her hand and undid the belt. The green lotus flowers bloomed, and the scenery was still beautiful. Even the room seemed to have warmed up a little.
Xu Buling coughed softly. Right when he sized her up seriously, he heard a trembling voice say, "Close your eyes!" He looked up and saw the beautiful woman with her arms crossed, looking fierce. He could only close his eyes regretfully.
Xiao Xiang'er sat down in front of him again. After hesitating for a long time, she extended her hand and touched Xu Buling's arm. Then, as if she had been electrocuted, she withdrew her hand.
Xu Buling took a few deep breaths and thought about it.
"Xiang'er..."
"Hmm? Shut up, you're so rude... Will you die if you don't speak? "
"..."
Xiao Xiang'er raised her hand and patted Xu Buling's shoulder. Then, she continued to study how to kill the fish. Her face gradually turned red. She carefully untied the belt on Xu Buling's lapel and looked to the side.
Xu Buling opened his eyes secretly and shook his head helplessly. After thinking for a while, he held her hand and gently pulled it.
"Ah —"
Xiao Xiang'er lost her balance and fell on Xu Buling's chest. Her calmness, which she tried hard to suppress, was suddenly disturbed. She wanted to get up, but an arm climbed on the back of her waist.
"..."
Xiao Xiang'er looked down at the face close to her. She twisted her body anxiously, but in the next moment, she froze on the spot.
Their lips met.
The fragrance was like orchids and the warmth was like honey.
Xiao Xiang'er's eyes widened suddenly. She pinched Xu Buling's shoulder with her hand and felt a little incredulous.
Xu Buring raised his eyebrows, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
Xiao Xiang'er's breathing became a little heavier. She wanted to bite someone, but she held back. She thought to herself, "I saved him for the sake of the country. Tomorrow, I will drink poisoned wine and commit suicide. Don't let your imagination run wild..."
After comforting herself, Xiao Xiang'er slowly relaxed.
Her originally calm eyes soon turned blank as her mind relaxed. She didn't know when it gradually turned into a clear spring.
What about the righteousness of the country? What about seniority? At this moment, she couldn't seem to remember anything...
The moonlight had fallen in the spring courtyard. In the quiet room, the curtains were down.
The Rustle rustle rustle rustt rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle't.'t.
Under the bright moonlight, a soft cry of pain dissipated along with the night breeze outside the house. The newly sprouted branches and willow trees swayed gently. Vaguely, someone seemed to be saying, "She's really hurt, Empress Dowager, you …" "Don't call me Empress Dowager …" But it was soon covered by the spring breeze, and not a single sound could be heard …
