Chapter 5 The Reborn Prince of the Hou Mansion (5)
The assassin came suddenly, as Si Xiao was taking a bath in the tub. Without saying a word, he split open the tub and spilled petals all over the floor.
Nan Xian didn't know what was going on. There was such a huge movement in Kunning Palace, but no imperial guards had arrived yet. The only thing she could think of was that the person who bribed the assassin was definitely someone from the palace.
Si Xiao stared at the white buns at the assassin's feet with evil eyes, tightened his fingers, and sent the sword forward more sharply: "Seeking death!"
However, as soon as he gathered his inner strength and swung the sword, his middle coat was grabbed by the person behind him. With a stabbing sound, the cloth torn to pieces, and most of his strong, flat chest was instantly exposed.
The remaining white steamed bun fell to the ground with a thud, bounced a few times, and rolled to the feet of the assassin in black.
The assassin was obviously startled, and for a moment he didn't draw his sword again.
Si Xiao was also stunned, and then the veins on his forehead jumped wildly. He turned around and glared at the frightened emperor fiercely, with murderous intent gathering in his eyes: "Did you do this on purpose?"
"I'm not..."
"careful--"
Nan Xian's pupils suddenly dilated, and before the sharp sword struck, she closed her eyes and knocked the boy away.
The long sword pierced the chest, and the squeaking sound of the sword entering the flesh could be heard clearly. Nan Xian's almond-shaped eyes widened, and the severe pain caused her whole body to convulse. Finally, Si Xiao's stunned and shocked face flashed before her eyes.
When Nan Xian woke up, it was already two days later.
The assassin's swordsmanship was very accurate. He originally hit her heart, but because of his "Hegemonic Body Function", he deflected the sword a few inches, protecting her heart.
But even so, Nan Xian was in excruciating pain. If he took a heavy breath and touched the wound, a heartbreaking pain would come from his chest.
"The assassin asked who was the emperor after you fell. I guess the person he wanted to assassinate was not the villain, but you. He just saw that the villain had a man's body when he was bathing, so he thought the villain was you and assassinated him."
Qixi's voice narrated in my ears.
Nan Xian had gauze wrapped around his chest, his face turned pale, and he groaned in pain: "Where's Si Xiao?"
"I was invited to the lotus pond by Concubine Shu."
Hearing the lotus pond, Nan Xian thought of something and suddenly became excited. This excitement made her chest tremble with pain, and she almost shed tears: "Lotus pond, isn't that a place where Young Master Xi Jin often goes? They are now
Where's the progress?"
"Don't worry, host, it's just our first meeting."
Nan Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and the slight pain in his chest spread again. He asked Xiao Liangzi to go to the imperial dining room and bring some dishes of exquisite snacks. After eating a few mouthfuls, he fell asleep.
When Xian Nianyan woke up, Si Xiao was sitting by the couch reading a book. Feeling the frequent glances, the young man casually opened his eyelids and asked, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Nan Xian was weak and could not speak in a very soft voice.
"Does it still hurt?" Si Xiao felt a little irritated for some reason. This life was so different from his previous life. How could Nan Xian sacrifice her life to save him? But she did.
And that assassin, did he appear in the previous life? The assassin's swordsmanship was unpredictable and his moves were deadly. He didn't look like a dead soldier raised by various governments, but more like a killer from the Jianghu. When he was not with the Dog Emperor in the previous life, the Dog Emperor
How did you escape this assassination?
"Ms. Wu came here just now to give me some medicine, and the pain is gone."
Dr. Wu was a female doctor with superb medical skills. Si Xiao frowned slightly when he mentioned Dr. Wu. He didn't understand why it was a female doctor who nursed Nan Xian back to health in the palace.
"What is that?" Nan Xian suddenly saw the green lotus pods on the Eight Immortals table.
Following her sparkling eyes, Si Xiao's expression changed and he sneered coldly, "The lotus pods were given by others."
"I want to eat."
“Nothing good to eat.”
"But if I want to eat, just eat a few, Queen—" Nan Xian looked at him aggrievedly, her long fluffy eyelashes fluttering, and her unconsciously pleading eyes were more radiant than the afterglow of the setting sun.
Si Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know what he thought of. He looked at her sarcastically, "Your Majesty, has he forgotten the snow-white steamed buns? The assassin's sword hurt His Majesty's chest, not his brain."
Nan Xian choked.
Seeing her like this, Si Xiao sneered, stood up silently, picked up the lotus pods on the table, and walked out.
"Qixi, tell me how far the villain and Xi Jin have progressed." Nan Xian's bright eyes filled with unbelievable despair, accusing: "He couldn't bear to give me any of the lotus pods Xi Jin picked for him.
eat!"
"I am the one who risked my life and death for him!"
Qixi doesn't understand emotions well and can only state the facts: "Host, the assassin wants to kill you."
Nan Xian has already figured out the whole process of Mr. Xi Jin hooking up with Si Xiao. The idea of "a favor to save one's life should be given with one's body", but with Si Xiao, it became "a favor to save one's life should be given with one's body."
I still think her head is not green enough!!!
Nan Xian gritted his teeth and whipped Si Xiao hundreds of times to drive him away from the cold palace.
This excitement caused Nan Xian's chest to rise and fall, which directly touched the wound. The pain caused Nan Xian to burst into tears. He bit his lower lip until it turned white, and in his heart, he exchanged the banishment from the cold palace for the banishment from the pig cage.
Suddenly a gust of breeze passed by in front of him. Nan Xian opened his watery apricot eyes in confusion, and saw Si Xiao leaving and returning, holding a few fresh and tender lotus pods in his hand.
Seeing her eyes filled with tears, Si Xiao was startled. He wanted to laugh in his heart. Seeing her difficulty in moving, he hesitantly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it for her. He said sadly, "Why are you crying, Your Majesty?"
For how many lotus pods?
Nan Xian didn't expect her to come back again, and couldn't hold back her tears. She pursed her lips in grievance and didn't look at him or speak.
He Shi Shiran sat on the edge of the couch, and nimbly peeled off a lotus seed with his long, bamboo-like fingers. The tender lotus heart didn't even need to be opened, and he brought it to Nan Xian's lips, "The one given by others is too old, this one is too tender."
Nan Xian's heart thumped uncontrollably, and she silently turned the pig cage into a beautiful couch.
The tips of his ears turned red quietly, but he hummed and reluctantly opened his mouth and took it in.
He continued to peel off one, and the slender white fingertips were as white as lotus seeds.
He fed her one, and she ate one. Her plump red lips were closed, and her water-washed eyes were staring at the young man's beautiful and focused eyes without blinking. Finally, there was only one left, and she even held the lotus seeds on his fingers.
Bit into the mouth together.
Moist warmth surrounded his fingertips. Si Xiao's eyes dimmed and his voice became hoarse: "Isn't the Emperor full yet?"
Nan Xian had been fed for a long time and was even a little full.
He let go of his teeth and pretended to be stupid with his clear and innocent eyes: "Where are those lotus pods?"
Si Xiao put his hands behind his back and slowly rubbed the bitten fingertips. His eyes were locked on hers, and his thin lips were slightly opened: "Throw it away."
"I'm not too old just looking at those lotus pods."
"I feel old."
"Then why did the queen bring them back?"
"...The Emperor has too many questions."
Stifling silence.
Si Xiao's eyes were deep, and there was no trace of emotion or anger in his picturesque handsome face: "I also have something to ask the emperor, why did the emperor block that sword for me that night?"
