Jiang Tang stood in front of the desk, his small jade-white hands brushing across the black lacquered tabletop.
This room has been empty since she moved out, but someone comes in to clean it every day.
She didn't know why she came here, but she came here subconsciously.
There were also pens, inks, paper and inkstones that she had used before on the table. She paused and clicked on the system to redeem [High-grade Spring Water] for grinding ink.
Taking a deep breath, she picked up the pen and wrote on the paper with concentration.
As each word formed on the tip of the pen, my originally agitated heart became calmer unconsciously.
The messy thoughts in my mind were finally sorted out bit by bit.
When the door was suddenly pushed open, she had just finished writing the last word.
Jiang Tang paused for a moment, finishing the last stroke slowly and slowly, then slowly raised his head.
When their eyes met, at that moment, Xiao Yinhan's turbulent heart finally calmed down.
It's just that at this time, he hasn't realized what the person in front of him means to him.
"Why did you come here?"
He tried to speak in a calm tone, but the slightly faster speaking speed still revealed his true mood.
He walked up to the girl in a few steps and pretended to read the paper on the table casually. He just scanned it casually, but when he saw the content on it, he suddenly froze: "You..."
"Why is the prince here?"
Jiang Tang didn't want him to pay attention to what she was writing, so she had already stood up when the man came to her side.
But Xiao Yinhan didn't let her get her wish. While she was trying to cover it up, he reached out and took away the Buddhist scriptures she copied.
That's right, she just copied a piece of Buddhist scripture here.
He scanned the Buddhist scriptures at a glance, from the initial random scribbling to the final calmness, as if he could see the girl's ups and downs of mood during this period.
Xiao Yinhan studied under famous teachers when he was young. Although he had a bad temper, he was extremely talented and had high attainments in poetry and painting.
It can be said that Jiang Tang's calligraphy was perfected by watching him all the time.
But it wasn't until today that he realized that the girl's calligraphy had become so good?
With His Highness King Rong's critical gaze, her calligraphy was already better than most of the people at the elite banquet that day.
Is this something you can write just by practicing on your own?
Wouldn't it be better if we invited a real famous teacher to guide her...
"Your Majesty?"
The girl's soft voice rang in his ears, finally awakening the man from his thoughts.
He remembered why he came.
Xiao Yinhan raised his head and met the girl's gentle eyes.
Her eyes were clean and clear, without any grievance or resentment as he imagined.
"You just," he opened his mouth and realized that his voice was so hoarse, and coughed lightly: "Where did you go just now?"
When he said this, his fingers tightened suddenly, and the waiting process was filled with tension that he had never felt before.
The girl blinked slightly: "I've been to the small garden."
One sentence made his heart suddenly tighten: "Then you..."
But she didn't seem to notice his panic, and said with a gentle smile: "Seeing that the prince and the princess seemed to have something to say, I was afraid of disturbing you, so I left first."
She is lying!
Almost immediately, this sentence appeared in Xiao Yinhan's mind.
His slender fingers tightened even more, and the thin paper seemed to be completely torn by him.
He looked into her eyes, and the emotions that had sunk surged up again: "Then did you hear what we said?"
Jiang Tang froze slightly, and there was a moment of blankness on his beautiful little face.
Then, before the man could see clearly, she looked away first and said in a soft voice, as if she was singing: "No."
If it really didn't exist, how could her Buddhist scriptures be copied like this?
Looking at the girl who deliberately avoided his sight, Xiao Yinhan reached out to touch her face, but was stopped by a soft little hand before he could touch her.
She looked up at him, her eyes were still so gentle, but there was an inexplicable feeling of heartache in her eyes:
"Your Majesty, Jiang Tang has always remembered his identity and never dared to forget it."
She obviously said it with a smile, but why did he feel so uncomfortable?
"What, identity?" Xiao Yinhan heard his hoarse voice and spoke with difficulty.
She smiled softly: "Jiang Tang is just a pawn used by the prince to confuse the outside world."
"boom--"
Something seemed to explode in Xiao Yinhan's mind instantly, leaving him stunned and shattered.
She was clearly right in front of him, but he felt that she was so far away from him.
After a while, he finally found his lost voice, which was so low that he almost gritted his teeth: "What did you say?"
The hand holding the girl's wrist tightened violently, as if it was going to crush her hand bones.
The suddenly scarlet and lonely look in his eyes made it seem as if he was the one who had been abandoned.
The girl's delicate brows furrowed, as if she was pinched in pain, but she still did not cry out in pain, she just looked at him with her moist and beautiful eyes, and said in an innocent tone: "Did I say something wrong to make the prince angry?
?”
Xiao Yinhan's chest rose and fell, as if he was extremely angry: "Tell me again, who do you belong to me?"
She opened her mouth, then slowly lowered her head. Her voice was still so gentle, but it was like a sharp knife piercing the man's heart:
"If the prince doesn't like to hear it, just pretend I didn't say it."
She didn't apologize or admit her mistake. Her words made him so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe.
The atmosphere in the room was so deadlocked, with each one refusing to bow his head.
Jiang Tang even took a moment to think with some self-deprecation that if she hadn't redeemed the points, her hand would probably be useless.
"Jiang Tang, I ask you again, what are you to me?"
Finally, he couldn't bear the anger anymore and pulled the person in front of him and forcibly lifted him up: "Speak!"
"I……"
"What are you doing!"
A surprised female voice suddenly came from behind. Jiang Tang looked away first and reminded: "Your Majesty, the princess is here."
"Get out!" Xiao Yinhan roared without looking back.
When Eunuch Liu who had already followed him in, he subconsciously stopped and looked at the princess next to him.
Otherwise, he should take a step back and not go in?
Judging from the tone of his voice, the prince has a very bad temper.
Eunuch Liu stopped, but Nangong Jiayue didn't. She rushed in in a few steps, saw Jiang Tang's pale face, and kicked Xiao Yinhan:
"Asshole, are you going to break her hand if you don't let go?"
The woman's furious scolding was like a thunderclap that woke the man up. Xiao Yinhan belatedly realized that the girl's hand was almost crushed by her.
He subconsciously let go of his hand and saw her staggering and almost falling.
"Tang——"
"careful!"
And faster than him was the girl standing behind him.
Nangong Jiayue stretched out her hand and pulled the person into her arms. Looking at the scary pinch marks on the girl Yubai's wrist, she almost exploded.
"are you crazy!"
She kicked her in a bad temper, and Xiao Yinhan endured it without hiding.
Eunuch Liu happened to see this scene at the door and cursed in his heart: It's over!
Then he hurriedly backed away and hid in the back, never looking at it again.
"Tangtang, are you okay?"
Nangong Jiayue looked at Jiang Tang distressedly. The girl's face was frighteningly pale. But after hearing her question, she still smiled softly at her: "I'm fine. Why is the princess sister here?"
Never mentioned the dispute between her and Xiao Yinhan.
"I'm afraid something might happen to you. Come and check on me."
Nangong Jiayue frowned and said, "Your hand doesn't look good. I'll take you to see a doctor."
As she said this, she was about to take Jiang Tang away.
But as soon as he took a step, he heard a low, cold male voice from behind: "Stop!"
Nangong Jiayue paused, turned around and said fiercely: "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Yinhan ignored her, but stared at the girl next to her: "Why don't you remind me?"
He didn't even know where her endurance came from. If Nangong Jiayue didn't show up today, would she really have his hand broken by him?
The girl trembled slightly, but did not look back at him: "I'm fine, Your Majesty, don't worry."
"You can still call it okay when your hands are like this? Then what do you mean it's okay?"
Nangong Jiayue was about to be pissed to death. She gritted her teeth at Xiao Yinhan and said, "You are just a bastard!"
Xiao Yinhan looked at that slender figure, his heart felt like it had been grabbed hard by sharp claws, and it hurt silently.
"I……"
Before Nangong Jiayue could finish her words, she was knocked aside. The man bent down and picked up the girl, then strode out.
Jiang Tang was startled, then subconsciously thought about it: "Your Majesty, I can leave by myself."
"Shut up!" Xiao Yinhan scolded her fiercely, his tone was extremely bad.
Jiang Tang opened his mouth, then fell silent.
Behind him, Nangong Jiayue came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.
Eunuch Liu also reacted, and while running at a small pace, he had an uneasy premonition in his heart:
I always feel that the prince has overturned this time.
Dr. Liu was quickly found, and when he saw the injury on Jiang Tang's hand, he showed a surprised expression.
"What's wrong with your noble hand?"
However, no one left him, and he reacted after he finished speaking.
The only one who can hurt Master Tang like this and not be punished is...
Doctor Liu did not dare to be verbose, so he kept his mouth shut and worked seriously.
Xiao Yinhan stood on the side with a frown, his gloomy handsome face making the atmosphere in the room very heavy.
He looked at Jiang Tang, but the girl just lowered her head, looking quiet and gentle, did not speak, and never looked back at her.
Slowly, all his eyes fell on her.
He looked at her stubbornly, hoping that she would look back at him.
But no, until the doctor finished applying the medicine and reminded him not to move around for the next few days, she just thanked her gently, as calmly as if she was not the one who was injured.
Doctor Liu was very discerning and knew that the situation was unclear and it was not advisable to stay for a long time, so he excused himself by prescribing medicine.
As soon as he left, Xiao Yinhan raised his hand: "Go down."
The maids who were busy serving him froze, came to their senses, turned around and left.
Outside the house, Nangong Jiayue has arrived, and she wants to come in.
But when the prince opened his mouth, the guards did not dare to let him go.
I only heard her yelling angrily: "Xiao Yinhan, if you dare to bully Tangtang again, I won't let you go! Do you hear me?"
Xiao Yinhan just pretended not to hear, remained silent for a while, and slowly squatted down in front of the girl:
"Does it hurt?"
He reached out to touch the girl's injured wrist, but before he could touch it, he heard her gentle reminder:
"Your Majesty, the doctor said, if you wait a little longer, this hand will be broken."
The man's fingers that were about to touch suddenly stopped at this sentence, and he looked up at her in surprise.
The girl's eyes were calm and gentle, without any hatred. She just looked at him, still looking obedient and obedient, but the words she said were more painful than a knife.
"This king...I..."
Xiao Yinhan opened his mouth to apologize, but looking at those clean eyes, he didn't know how to speak.
"Young Master, you don't have to say anything, I understand everything." Jiang Tang looked at him and finished what he wanted to say: "You didn't mean it, right?"
"I……"
"It's okay, I won't blame you."
The more she behaved like this, the uneasiness in Xiao Yinhan's heart grew.
He would rather she lose her temper with him than be so cold and indifferent, as if she were a stranger to him.
-
"How is Tangtang's hand?"
Nangong Jiayue couldn't get in, but stopped the doctor when he came out.
Doctor Liu was forced to stop and explained the situation inside again.
After hearing this, Nangong Jiayue's face changed: "You bitch, you bully a girl like this! He is so shameless!"
As she said this, she was about to rush in, but Eunuch Liu hurriedly directed the people to stop her: "Princess, Princess, please calm down!"
"I can't calm down!"
Nangong Jiayue was almost furious, and at the same time she felt a little regretful. If it hadn't been for her, Jiang Tang might not have been wronged like this.
The noise came into the room, Xiao Yinhan frowned, his eyes were filled with anger, and he was about to get angry, but Jiang Tang stopped him with a word: "Your Majesty, please let the princess sister in, otherwise she will be very worried.
.”
Jiang Tang looked in the direction of the door and said.
The man's eyes suddenly looked at her.
She will be worried, what about me?
Sensing the man's angry gaze, Jiang Tang seemed unaware and said uneasily: "Your Majesty, did I say something wrong again?"
And for the first time in his life, Xiao Yinhan knew how hateful it was to be gentle and irritating!
It's like cutting flesh with a soft knife. It makes you angry to death, but you don't know how to refute.
He stood there, staring at Jiang Tang, with a hint of grievance on his handsome and unruly face.
Jiang Tang's intact hand moved slightly, but did not respond to his gaze.
Xiao Yinhan did not let Nangong Jiayue in as he was told. He stubbornly looked at the girl's face, trying to get her response.
He knew he had done something wrong, but if she didn't speak, he couldn't explain it.
The longer the stalemate lasted, the greater the uneasiness in his heart.
There has never been a person who can touch his heart like this.
Jiang Tang looked gentle and calm as he listened to the [Favorite Points] constantly broadcast in his mind, sitting there quietly, like an exquisite and beautiful porcelain doll.
She knew someone regretted it, but what did that have to do with her?
"if……"
A man's hoarse voice sounded in the room: "If you really want to go to that temple, then go."
The girl paused for a moment and finally looked at him. Her usually gentle eyes seemed to contain a bit of sarcasm that she had never seen before:
"Your Majesty, do you think I'm angry with you because of that incident?"
Xiao Yinhan suddenly realized that he might have said the wrong thing again.
