Shen Shiyun reprimanded, "Shut up! Don't you feel ashamed to make such a ruckus in front of your Grand Imperial Uncle? Of course, bengong won't kill you, but bengong can order you to be grounded and send someone to watch over you day and night. After half a month, when my plan is completed, you will naturally be released. "Xuan Shuang shouted," You want to put me under house arrest? Fine! If you dare to lock me up, I will dare to escape. Let's see if you are watching me from every angle, or if my Traceless Escape is more powerful. Let's wait and see! "
Shen Shiyun pulled Xuan Shuang over and said to Dorgon, "His Highness has been watching this show for a long time. It seems that he has been watching it for a long time. This child can't distinguish right from wrong. Please take into account that he is still young and doesn't know any better and don't lower yourself to his level. Bengong has long discovered your adopted daughter's identity, but to give you some face, bengong has always tolerated her. My son is a bit interested in Xiao Xuan. Maybe in the future, you and I will become in-laws. Don't quarrel needlessly at this time. If we lose face, it won't be good for either of us. "
Dorgon saw that Xuan Shuang was just pretending to be mature, but at the crucial moment, he still had the temperament of a child, so he relaxed his guard against him a lot. He laughed and said, "In that case, bengong would like to thank Noble Consort Yun for giving me face. Lord Baylor Ling is just a child, he is just learning from the people of Jianghu to talk about morality and righteousness. You don't have to be too harsh on him. "
Shen Shiyun put on a fake smile and said, "Bengong knows what to do. Goodbye. "She grabbed the Xuan Shuang and walked out.
Xuan Shuang stomped his feet and struggled all the way. He already regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He said in his heart, "What did I do just now? I couldn't restrain myself and openly talked back to her? Weren't I the best at concealing my emotions? On the surface, I was calm and without ripples, but I was secretly making moves. It was much more effective than showing off for a moment. It's all because of Xiao Xuan. No wonder some people want to cut off their seven emotions and six desires so that they won't be burdened by emotions! " He was venting his anger in the palace, but once he left the palace, he had to pretend to be a well-educated and well-behaved child in front of outsiders. He had no choice but to obediently walk forward with small steps.
As soon as they returned to the Snow Song Palace, Shen Shiyun kept her word and immediately placed Xuan Shuang under house arrest. Xuan Shuang was locked up in a bedroom in the palace, surrounded by more than a dozen palace maids. Everyone entering and exiting had to be carefully searched to prevent them from passing information to each other. Even when Tang Yuancheng came to teach, there were a few palace maids sitting on the side to listen, so that they could not privately pass on messages.
Xuan Shuang was restless on the first day. Taking advantage of Shen Shiyun's absence, she rolled all over the main hall and cried, "Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts! Ah, it hurts so much! "Immediately, a group of palace maids surrounded her. Only two or three of them ran to call for an imperial physician. Xuan Shuang looked at the tightly packed palace maids around him and knew that her escape had failed. She sighed and said, "My stomach suddenly doesn't hurt anymore. Let's find a few people to chase after them and bring them back."
On the third day, Xuan Shuang paced back and forth in the room and said slowly, "Now this prince is going to write a piece of calligraphy!" Immediately, a few palace maids who had read books came forward and said, "Lord Baylor, let us servants help you write it."
Xuan Shuang expected that her plan would fail again, but she still forced a smile and said, "You're really taking the initiative? If Xiao Xuan was half as enthusiastic as you when she helped me with my homework, then that would be great. " But she had a temper, so even if she lost, she wouldn't let others feel at ease. She suddenly had an idea and pulled out a piece of white paper from under the books on the table and said, "I originally wanted to finish the homework assigned by Master Tang. Since you all are so diligent and eager to learn, I'll respectfully accept. Elder Sister, please help me copy these manuscripts."
As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maids who had rushed to the front suddenly fell silent. They originally wanted to record a letter from the Lord Baylor Ling and then ask for credit from the Noble Consort Yun. Unexpectedly, they fell into the Xuan Shuang's trap and didn't want to take on this troublesome task. In the end, it was the Xuan Shuang who forcefully dragged the palace maids to finish the homework for him. This time, Shen Shiyun didn't blame them. She just reminded them to be more careful in the future.
On the sixth day, Xuan Shuang thought, "There are so many palace maids waiting on me. More than a dozen pairs of eyes are constantly watching me. If one of them takes a nap, there will still be a group of them awake. If I really want to run away, I have to deal with them all at once. " Thereupon he asked someone to buy a pot of wine. While nobody was paying attention, he quietly sprinkled a bag of white powder into the pot and quickly shook the wine. Afterwards he summoned the palace maids and pretended to casually place the pot on the table. He said, "Ye is locked up in my room all day long, I am bored. I have no choice but to find some entertainment. You will play the finger-guessing game with me and play the drinking game! "
Most of the palace maids were relatively young, they were bored of watching the Xuan Shuang closely. As long as he didn't have any idea of running away, they would play with him to relieve some of their boredom. Therefore, they gladly accepted the invitation. Xuan Shuang shouted and shouted, pretending to play in full swing. Once it was his turn to drink, he would sweep his sleeve and pour the wine into his wide sleeve without anybody noticing. Those palace maids were also willing to accept their loss. When the wine arrived, they drained their cups. Not too long afterwards, several of them who drank the most impatiently tilted their heads and fell asleep on the table.
Xuan Shuang hurriedly laughed and said, "These older sisters have limited alcohol tolerance. They are all drunk. We have to be more promising!" He continued to encourage them to drink. Even if the palace maids had some doubts at first, they gradually dispelled them. Xuan Shuang remained calm. He didn't want to reveal anything until the last person had fallen. Before the pot of wine was finished, the table was already covered in wine.
Xuan Shuang stood up and walked around everyone, nudging them one by one to make sure they were sleeping soundly. Only then did he carefully sneak into the main hall. Seeing that there was no one around, he inwardly praised his good luck. Without further delay, he rushed forward and opened the door.
As soon as the two doors were opened, he saw two rows of Imperial Bodyguards standing in front of him. Each of them stood ramrod straight, with short sabers at their waists and long swords in their hands. When they saw him open the door, they turned around and saluted him, saying, "Lord Baylor, good luck!"
Xuan Shuang didn't expect this and could only awkwardly reply, "Yes, good luck, good luck." He quickly closed the door and leaned his back against it. The brilliant smile he had been forcing these past few days finally collapsed.

A few days after Lu Qian surrendered, Shen Shiyun didn't give him any tasks. He only let him stay in the palace to recuperate. At the same time, he was entertained with exotic delicacies. Lu Qian enjoyed both leisure and good food. He was more carefree than anyone else. He felt that even if he really became the emperor, his life would be just like this.
Until one day, several unfamiliar men in black carried a broken sack to his room and asked him to come out to talk. Lu Qian followed them for a while and came to a hidden place in the palace. A tall man in black said, "Lu Daren, we are under the orders of Noble Consort Yun to give you a gift. She said that she had already promised you, but she delayed it until today. She is really sorry. Why, do you want to inspect the goods on the spot? "
Lu Qian asked curiously, "Noble Consort Yun has given me enough rewards these past few days. Where did you find this rare treasure?" The man in black smiled mysteriously. He leaned close to Lu Qian's ear and whispered, "This is what you want the most!"
Lu Qian was even more confused. He mused, "The thing I want the most is the throne of the emperor. But how can she fulfill this wish for me? Could it be that she made a golden chair for me? Or did she personally sew a dragon robe for me? But looking at this length, it doesn't look like it. If it's the Manchurian Qing's imperial jade seal, it's useless to me. " Thinking about the man who asked him to inspect the goods, he carefully untied the hemp rope and looked inside. A snow-white oval face immediately came into his line of sight.
With just one glance, Lu Qian's heart surged. Immediately he raised his hand and pulled the tarpaulin to cover the opening. Putting on a flattering smile, he reached into his bosom and fished out several big gold ingots. He bowed and presented the ingots to several people. He said with a laugh, "This is a small amount of money, take it to buy wine for Gege. Xiongdi doesn't know the rules, I only have this small hobby. Please don't spread this outside, otherwise Xiongdi won't have a place to put his face. "
The men received the ingots. They were already used to this kind of method of handling affairs. They weighed the ingots in their hands and said with a laugh, "We brothers were drinking at the tavern today. We didn't come to your place, so we didn't see anything." Lu Qian was overjoyed. He knew these men had accepted the hush money. He hurriedly echoed, "Right, right, you didn't see anything! You didn't see anything! "The men's faces were full of understanding. They rubbed their chins and giggled as they looked at Lu Qian. One of them patted his shoulder and said, "Lu Daren, you're having a good time!" The men roared with laughter before they swaggered off.
Lu Qian watched them leave. "Pei!" he spat. "What's there to be proud of?" He said. "They're just a few dogs who work for others. Just treat it as a reward from this king to them." He looked at the gunnysack as if he had found a treasure. He held it horizontally with both hands and lightly carried it on his back. He immediately bolted the door, opened the gunnysack, and carried the unconscious Nangong Xue out. He lovingly placed her on the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and carefully observed her.
He saw that her face was sallow and her eyes were tightly shut. Her eyelashes occasionally trembled, and there were faint traces of tears at the corners of her eyes. She must have washed her face with tears for the past six years. She was wearing a set of coarse clothes that wrapped around her small and thin body. He checked her breathing. Her breathing was also very weak. Lu Qian immediately felt pity for her. He raised his hand and gently stroked her forehead. He gently slid his hand down her forehead and pinched her thin and sharp chin. He bent down and gently kissed her pale lips. He felt as if he had kissed two pieces of ice.
He had been looking forward to having such intimate contact with Nangong Xue for a long time, but it was only when she was unconscious that he realized his wish of many years. The pleasure brought by this kiss was even more uncontrollable. Lu Qian finally understood the true feeling of "burning desire" that he had described to Shen Shiyun. His eyes darted to her lower body. He impulsively raised a hand and slowly reached over.
Just as he was about to touch her, Nangong Xue suddenly murmured a few words in her sleep. Lu Qian was greatly embarrassed. He even thought that she had discovered his intentions. He carefully observed her and realized that Nangong Xue was not awake. She was only murmuring softly in her sleep. He heard her murmuring two syllables, repeated over and over again. He was curious. He put his ear next to her mouth and finally realized that she was murmuring the two words "Shixiong".
Lu Qian was instantly burning with jealousy. He thought, "Li Yijie was unfaithful to you. He never once thought about you these past six years. But you never forgot him. Your heart is filled with him. How can you tolerate me? In this situation, even if I have your body, what's the use? I want you to follow me willingly. I want your body and your heart to completely belong to me! Only to me! "
He withdrew his hand but loosened her belt first. Then he took her hands and held them in his palms. He pressed them against his chest and said softly, "Xueer, I'll be here watching over you. I want you to see me the moment you open your eyes. I'm also your Shixiong! I'm your Shixiong Lu! "He secretly swore in his heart. His eyes were filled with deep affection as he gazed at her.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Qian gradually felt his entire body become sore and numb. His eyelids became even more swollen. He slightly adjusted his posture and lowered his head. He closed his eyes and rested. He was almost about to doze off. In his half-awake state, he suddenly heard Nangong Xue moan. She slowly opened her eyes. She was uncomfortable with the light shining on her. Her eyelids were only half open. Her vision was hazy as she looked ahead, as if she was looking at an unknown distant place.
Lu Qian was very happy. His sleepiness completely disappeared. He repeatedly asked, "Xue … Shixiong Nangong, you're awake? Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some water? "
