In a short while, they returned to the door of Su Zhen's room together. The moment Xiao Chuhong landed, the servants wanted to salute, but they saw him shaking his head, opening the door for him, and then returned to his original position.
Xiao Chuhong's movements were very gentle, for fear of waking up the person on his back, but Su Zhen was sleeping deeply. Until Xiao Chuhong took off her shoes and socks and placed her on the bed, she just mumbled twice and hit her.
Gun'er, skillfully pulled the quilt over his body and continued to sleep soundly.
He stood awkwardly in front of the bed, neither staying nor leaving. He stared at Su Zhen quietly for a long time, his eyes full of tenderness. He leaned over and kissed her forehead softly, tucked her in the quilt, and then
He walked out with his "chicken coop" on his head.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the boy hurriedly pushed the door open.
"Guard him well, and don't let others break in."
"Yes, General!"
Xiao Chuhong sighed, inserted his fingers into his hair and fiddled with it twice, then walked towards the next door with his back behind him.
The boys looked at his limp and drooping right hand and his messy hair, and it was hard to imagine what their general had gone through.
And Su Zhen, who should have fallen into a deep sleep in the square, quietly opened her eyes through a crack...
...
Shang Jingyao and her chambermaid Xiao Hengzi successfully checked into the guest room of Nanwei Villa. Although Xiao Chuhong didn't like her, he didn't treat her badly.
The cooks in the east dining room quickly prepared midnight snacks for them and brought them into the room. Shang Jingyao did not expect the two people to see him. After a simple cleaning, his original fair face was finally revealed.
As soon as he sat down, Xiao Hengzi immediately opened the lid of the white porcelain porridge Gu, and there were stacks of exquisite and transparent glass cups filled with several side dishes.
"Princess, the villain has tried the poison, you can eat it with peace of mind."
Shang Jingyao rubbed his somewhat shriveled belly and said in a bitter and resentful tone, "Xiao Hengzi, it's me who has caused trouble for you."
"Princess, you are worrying too much."
Xiao Hengzi carefully prepared the dishes for her and handed her the ladle of barley and red bean porridge. She stirred it with a spoon, scooped up a third of the spoon and put it to her lips to take a sip.
"Xiao Hengzi, what do you think of Su Zhen?"
"A villain dare not speak nonsense." Xiao Hengzi hurriedly leaned over and bowed, humbly saying.
"Okay, before we return to the palace, we are the only two left to depend on each other. If you don't listen, I will really hand you over to Xiao Chuhong."
Xiao Hengzi smiled helplessly, "Princess, you seem to hate General Xiao?"
"He killed so many of us, and you don't hate him? Do I still have to burn incense and worship Buddha to support him?"
"Princess, you don't actually need to come in person, the mute slave girl..."
"Shh..." Shang Jingyao pointed to the door, indicating that the partition wall had ears.
"Princess forgives me, but I know my fault."
Shang Jingyao waved his hand, remembering that when they were in the stone prison, Su Zhen and Xiao Chuhong had their fingers intertwined, and the affection in their eyes was so strong that they couldn't let it go. "Xiao Hengzi, do you think they really accepted each other?"
"Princess, I don't know." Looking at her lonely eyes, Xiao Hengzi asked, "Princess, are you interested in Mr. Su?"
"Nonsense! This princess will never fall in love with him!"
Xiao Hengzi hurriedly knelt down, lowering his head and not daring to say any more.
"Oh, okay, okay! Get up! Don't kneel down all the time!" He put down the spoon and chopsticks and stood up holding Xiao Hengzi's arm.
"If you don't want to eat, I won't eat. I'm tired."
"The villain has prepared hot water for the princess."
"Well, I understand. You can have these removed and go down to rest first."
"Yes, I will resign, villain."
Watching her enter the inner room, Xiao Hengzi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he gave an order outside, and someone immediately removed the food from the table.
After they left, Xiao Hengzi stood by the door, quietly opened a gap, and counted the people guarding them outside, with a flash of contempt in his eyes.
...
At dawn the next day, Su Zhen was awakened by the cry of the warbler outside the window. She turned over unconsciously, wrapped herself in a quilt and fell under the bed. She yawned lazily, rubbed her sore shoulders and sat on the ground with the quilt wrapped around her.
, looked around sleepily, "Shen Chen! Shen Chen! Get my official uniform quickly!"
"..."
"Chen Chen? Where have you been? Damn it, otherwise I will be talked about by Master Yu again. He really looks like a verbose old man."
However, even though Su Zhen kept talking for a long time, no one paid any attention to her.
She raised her hand and yawned, stretched out her white jade hand to rub her sleepy eyes, and then remembered that this was not her Jin Se Xuan.
Annoyed, I threw the quilt away on the bed, put on my shoes and socks, and stood in front of the mirror to straighten my clothes. When I pinched the collar, I noticed that there was a small word "Vietnam" outlined in gold thread on it.
Yue?! Xiao Yue? So these are Xiao Chuhong’s clothes?
There was a knock on the door of the outer room, "Master Su, are you ready to get up? I have prepared water for you."
"Well, come in."
Several servants pushed the door open and entered. It was dark last night, and her attention was attracted by Xiao Chuhong's tenderness. She didn't even notice that they had beautiful features, so she couldn't help but take a second look.
"How long have you been coming to the Villa?"
They looked at each other tremblingly, "Back to Mr. Su, the younger ones are the sons of the Xiao family."
"Then in the past few years, has Xiao Chuhong brought any young ladies back?"
"Master Su, of course there is no such thing."
"Then is he attracted to men or young men?"
"Master Su! Don't think nonsense. Except for you, our general has never been so tender towards anyone."
They were anxious to explain, as if they were afraid that Su Zhen would misunderstand.
"Your general likes men, don't you think it's weird?"
She knew that she was a daughter, but they didn't know that! But apart from being shocked, Xiao Chuhong's men had no resistance or disgust towards her. In addition, there was no woman in the entire villa, so it was no wonder that she suspected that Xiao Chuhong didn't like her at all.
girl......
She didn't even know whether she should tell Xiao Chuhong her identity.
"The general grew up in the border areas. He has a tough and upright temperament, but is not good at expressing himself. After breaking off his engagement with the Prime Minister's lady, my wife arranged many marriages, but he never even looked at those women."
They had good intentions, but when Su Zhen heard it, she felt more and more that her guess was correct... Xiao Chuhong really liked men!
"Master Su? What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, it's pretty good."
"Of course! In the past eight years, the general has rarely opened his heart to others, and only in front of you does he smile so broadly."
"Mr. Su, our general is good at riding and shooting. He knows the rhythm of music and is superb at arranging troops. He is even more famous on the battlefield."
"That's not true! Folks often say that giving birth to a child should be like Xiao Chuhong, a man with no branches."
After Su Zhen washed up, she lay half-ly on the soft couch and listened to what they said to each other, praising Xiao Chuhong gushingly. She just smiled and passed by.
Outside the door, Xiao Chuhong leaned his back against the door frame, looking sideways at someone in the room with a cheerful smile. He listened carefully about his past military exploits, and his mood felt better.
'It turns out that when you are happy with someone, you are happy because of his joy and worried because of his worries. Every heartstring will be touched by his every move, every frown and every smile.'
Su Zhen glanced at the corner of her clothes outside the door and coughed lightly, "Since you came in right away, why are you still hiding? Is it because you are too ugly to be seen?"
"You!" Xiao Chuhong's tone was endearing, he shook his head helplessly, and walked out with a smile.
"See General."
The boys stopped talking and laughing and bowed in salute.
Xiao Chuhong nodded lightly, and they hurriedly retreated to prepare breakfast. This chapter has been completed!
