On the second floor of the inner courtyard, inside Chen Xue's bedroom.
In the room, Chen Xue was lying on the bed, and next to her there was a maid holding a huqin and playing a melodious piece of music.
Near the bed, rhinoceros incense is lit in the incense burner, filling the whole room with a refreshing fragrance, which makes people feel at ease.
Chen Xue, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be resting, but in fact, her eyes were still wide open and looking at the gauze curtain above, flickering.
She didn't want to sleep.
She had already had enough sleep during the past few days of being imprisoned.
Moreover, she didn't dare to close her eyes, because as soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of the basement before.
Chen Xue now fully understands the horror of the small dark room.
Since coming back, as soon as she left Wuwen, she felt that the sense of security that had warmed her heart disappeared instantly.
That inexplicable fear instantly enveloped her heart.
And as soon as I see Wuwen, that magical sense of security will come back to me.
Chen Xue didn't have time to think too much. At that moment, she simply didn't want to leave Wuwen.
Therefore, in the end, she held on to Wuwen's sleeve and refused to let go. It was not until later that a good-looking man asked Wuwen to escort her back to her home that she felt relieved.
tone.
After returning to the mansion and meeting her maid, she finally felt that she was far away from that nightmare place.
Only then did she dare to let go of Wuwen's sleeves, but immediately afterwards, she asked Wuwen to stay in the house for one night.
She didn't know why, but when she thought of Wuwen leaving the mansion, the fear swept through her heart.
She had no choice but to speak.
Fortunately, although the unknown master looked embarrassed, he did not leave in the end. He said that he would always stay in the hall.
Chen Xue then went upstairs with confidence, but when she left, she still looked back at Wu Wen every step of the way.
Although her serving maids don't know what happened to their master, as maids, they can only be curious and dare not ask any more questions.
"Shura Martial God"
After Chen Xue returned to the room, the maid immediately lit up the rhinoceros incense, but the rhinoceros incense alone was not enough. The quiet look in the room made her have some stress reactions.
Finally, she asked one of the maids who was good at playing the piano to start playing the tune on the morin fhuur, over and over again, and then she felt at ease.
And this bomb was played until nightfall.
In the past few hours, although Chen Xue could not fall asleep, she did feel more relaxed. At this time, the sound of the piano in her ears was no longer as melodious as it was at the beginning, but rather intermittent, and she even played a few wrong words.
sound.
Chen Xue turned around and saw Lingxiang, who was playing the piano, sliding her fingers on the strings with difficulty.
The fingers were already bleeding, but she didn't dare to stop and continued to play.
Seeing that Lingxiang's fingers were all broken, Chen Xue realized that he had let this girl play for a whole afternoon!
Seeing this girl biting her lip in pain, but still moving her fingers continuously to play the music, with traces of blood staining the strings red, Chen Xue felt a pain in her heart and quickly stood up.
"Princess?!"
Seeing Chen Xue suddenly "wake up", Yuanyuan next to her hurriedly stepped forward.
"Stop playing, stop playing, you girl, your fingers are broken, why don't you stop!"
Chen Xue came to Lingxiang's side and grabbed Lingxiang's hand to stop her from playing.
Looking at her fingertips that were so worn that the tender flesh could be seen, Chen Xue felt as if she had done something big wrong, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although she can be willful sometimes, she is still kind at heart.
Regarding the four maids who accompanied her, although she still looked like a princess on the outside, in her heart, she actually regarded these four maids as her little friends and little sisters.
It's just that her status is different, so she can't express her thoughts.
As a princess, she trusts and cares too much about her maids, which sometimes is not a good thing for them.
At the beginning, she didn't understand.
Until there was a maid who had been with her for three or four years. Because she was too close to her, she secretly escaped from the palace one time and asked her to cover for her, and was discovered by her father.
After the maid was directly ordered to be executed by her father on the grounds of instigation, she truly understood what her status as a princess meant to these maids.
There were some things that she did fine, but something must have happened to them.
Although she begged her father and said that it was all her idea, her father did not take back her life at all, and the maid died in the end.
Chen Xue was quiet about this for a long time.
Later, there was a maid beside her.
As time went by, the number of maids grew from one to four.
But since then, she has not had much intimacy with these four girls.
In their eyes, she has always been a princess.
And they are just maids.
As long as you don't get too close to them, they will be less involved when you do things later.
Although she didn't want to do this.
But Chen Xue knows that only in this way will the tragedies of the past not happen again.
Just like this time, she originally planned to escape for a while and then go back.
The so-called escape from the country and the identity of the princess before was actually just a thought.
Similar to Kouha~
Just thinking about it, if I ask her to do it, she won't be able to do it yet.
She is a princess, and she has long understood that this status is both an honor and a shackle.
There are some things that she can only bear and cannot escape from.
Otherwise, more people will die because of her.
If nothing else, if she really escapes this time, then these four girls will definitely die.
Knowing this result, how could Chen Xue do this?
In fact, she just wanted to have fun. After two days, even if Ling Tao didn't find her, she would go back by herself.
This can not only satisfy your own short-term sense of freedom and excitement, but also prevent the people next to you from being too implicated.
But she didn't expect that she might not be able to come back this time.
Although she didn't know that even if Fang Yu was not found this time, she would be rescued. It was her identity as the princess of Kang State that allowed her to escape.
In her heart, she just felt that if Wu Wen and the others were a step too late, it might be too late.
Not only was she ruined, but countless people would suffer disaster because of her!
Thinking about this result, Chen Xue felt endless fear.
Seeing that Lingxiang's finger was still bleeding, Chen Xue quickly asked Yuanyuan to get gauze, and then bandaged Lingxiang's finger himself.
Although Yuanyuan next to her asked her to bandage Lingxiang, Chen Xue refused.
After clumsily wrapping Lingxiang's fingers into five white carrot heads, she stopped.
Looking at these girls who have always been with him.
Thinking of their constant companionship and the laughter they brought to her, all of this almost ruined her.
If something happened to the four of them, she would have to feel the despair she felt when she was a child again.
This time, she will definitely feel uncomfortable for a longer time, and it will leave a trace in her heart that can never be erased.
Fortunately, there was no danger this time.
When Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief, the smile on his face became forced.
Because she knew that this time should be her last indulgence.
Once she returns home and her father knows about this matter, she will no longer have the opportunity to be willful. From then on, she will become an obedient Sixth Princess of Kang and will no longer be able to play these little tricks.
She has grown up and needs to shoulder her responsibilities as the princess of Kang State and provide her own value for the future of Kang State.
This is the fate of the princess.
Yuanyuan next to her saw that the original smile on the princess's face suddenly turned sad.
Moreover, at this moment, she had an inexplicable feeling that the princess seemed to have changed.
The princess now seems not as lively as before, but has a somewhat dignified appearance, like a big princess.
But she seems to be what a real princess should look like.
Originally, Chen Xue planned to hug Lingxiang and the others.
But because she thought about her future, she suddenly lost her mood at this moment.
She couldn't sleep, and she felt very nervous if it was quiet, but if someone played the piano, she didn't want to listen to what other people were playing.
She prefers what Lingxiang plays, because, over the years, Lingxiang has already figured out her preferences, and the music she plays is often what Chen Xue likes to listen to.
Others obviously don't have such conditions.
After Lingxiang's music was missing, the room became quiet again, and that hairy feeling came to my heart again.
At the first moment, the face of a delicate little monk emerged in Chen Xue's mind.
Unknown little master!
For some reason, Chen Xue suddenly wanted to see Wu Wen at this moment. After hesitating for a while, Chen Xue finally decided to go downstairs to have a look.
It was already late at night, and she knew that Wu Wen had probably gone back to her room to sleep.
She thought that if Wu Wen was no longer here, she would let Yuanyuan and the others walk with her in a nearby garden.
As a result, she didn't expect that as soon as she came downstairs, a familiar figure appeared in front of her eyes.
Unknown little master!
Chen Xue's eyes lit up and she stomped down the stairs.
As soon as she got there, she immediately saw Wu Wen sitting cross-legged on a carpet, slowly opening her eyes, looking in the direction of Chen Xue, raising her palms and chanting the Buddha's name.
"Little Master Wuwen! Why are you still here? Why don't you go back to sleep?"
There was deep surprise in Chen Xue's words and a hint of joy that she was not aware of.
Chen Xue was wearing a crimson dress at this time. She did not apply any rouge powder on her face. Her fair skin looked even more shiny against the crimson color. Her hair was simply decorated with three gilded crests.
The hairpin is fixed from the side in an umbrella shape, and a pair of shining eyes appear sparkling under the willow eyebrows. The whole person exudes a gorgeous beauty.
Wu Wen looked at the pretty beauty in front of her, looking at her eyes that seemed to be able to speak. For some reason, she felt numb, as if she had been electrocuted, and her heart was beating a little fast, which made him a little confused.
He lowered his head in confusion, took a deep breath, and spoke in a slightly jerky tone.
"Monks don't lie. Since the young monk has promised the princess to wait in the hall, he will naturally wait here until dawn."
Wu Wen's words made Chen Xue feel her heart skip a beat. She felt that something was wrong with her. She quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart, smiled sweetly at Wu Wen, and then continued.
"Then... little master Wuwen, can you agree to one more request of mine?"
"Princess, it doesn't matter if you say it"
Wu Wen stood up from the carpet silently and then said.
"I wonder, little master, can you accompany me for a walk in the garden? To be honest, I am still extremely scared in my heart, so I have been unable to sleep peacefully."
"Can!"
Wu Wen agreed without hesitation.
This time, Chen Xue was stunned.
She didn't expect Wu Wen to agree so quickly. After all, they were men and women...
Just when Chen Xueyang thought about whether men and women should be intimate or not, and why Wu Wen agreed so quickly, she suddenly saw Wu Wen's eyes.
What kind of eyes are these?
During the day, Chen Xue did not observe carefully. Only now did Chen Xue notice that the eyes of this unknown little master were extremely clear.
The clear black and white eyes were like a clear spring flowing, extremely pure.
Only then did Chen Xue realize.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Little Master Wuwen's Dharma seems to be very profound. Perhaps he has already understood the White Bone Temple.
Everything you see in pink is a skeleton.
Therefore, he would agree without hesitation.
Because there are no distracting thoughts in his heart, he will naturally not have any thoughts of hesitation or rejection.
I'm just overthinking it~
After Chen Xue figured it out, the moment she felt funny about her thoughts, her favorability towards Wu Wen greatly increased again.
"Yuanyuan, you are just following us. I want to communicate more about Buddhism with Master Wuwen."
Chen Xue said to the four maids behind him.
Even if Wu Wen had no idea in her heart, she couldn't go alone with Wu Wen.
After all, this is her identity.
"Yes, princess!"
The four maids responded one by one, but then Yuanyuan spoke again.
"Princess, it's windy at night, you'd better wait a moment while Yuanyuan brings you a fur coat."
Chen Xue looked at the sound of the night wind blowing outside and nodded.
I didn't feel anything in the room. After I came out, I felt cold.
After all, it is almost winter now and the temperature outside is still relatively low.
Seeing Yuanyuan go in, Chen Xue waved to summon another soldier.
"Go and get a fur coat from General Ling!"
The soldier bowed his hands in greeting, and after a while, he came over holding a black fox fur coat.
At this time, Yuanyuan had already put on the red fox fur coat that matched Chen Xue's crimson skirt.
Chen Xue asked the soldier to hand the black fox fur coat to Wu Wen. Wu Wen did not refuse, took the fur coat and put it on.
That's right.
The black fox fur coat that the soldier brought was not only made of the same material as Chen Xue's red fox fur coat, but even the style was similar.
The two are like couple models.
After the two of them put on their fur clothes, their figures actually looked quite familiar!
only.......
Chen Xue's eyes fell on the top of Wu Wen's head.
The little bald head still glowed yellow under the candlelight in the hall.
"Pfft~"
Chen Xue felt inexplicably funny and couldn't help laughing, which attracted Wu Wen's doubtful eyes.
Seeing his cute look, Chen Xue smiled even happier.
The sadness and worry in my heart could not help but be washed away. With Wu Wen next to me, that familiar sense of security came to my heart again.
This feeling......
Chen Xue didn't know how to describe it.
She just found that this feeling was very strange. It not only made her feel at ease, but also made her blush and her heart beat inexplicably.
