Chu Xichen snorted coldly, waved her hands, and the two palace maids dragged Chun'er out. Shen Huan's hands were weak and she couldn't hold on, but she fell to the ground. If Chun'er died, it was her death. Listening to Chun'er's pleading cries, she felt extremely sad. She crawled to Chu Xichen's feet, pulled his dragon robe and said: "Don't kill her, please, don't kill Chun'er..."
Chu Xichen bent down and clamped her jaw. With hatred and pain in his eyes, he said indifferently: "Are you begging me now? Do you need to beg me? How have I treated you in the past? Concubine Qing is in trouble. You, I exempted her from the right to co-administer the Sixth Palace; Concubine Pei framed you, and I demoted her to Zhaoyi; even my mother, I am willing to disobey her for you! You don’t need to speak, as long as you give a look, I know what you want, and I will do whatever it takes to satisfy you, but what about you? Do you really know now what it means to not know how blessed you are when you are in the midst of blessings?"
Shen Huan wanted to save Chun'er, but Chu Xichen's words hit her heart, and she felt a dull pain as if being hit by a hammer. She wanted to lower her head, but he squeezed her tightly, and the shock in her eyes dropped. Looking into his eyes, he actually let her go with joy on his face and said to the two palace maids: "Lock her into a violent chamber!"
"No!" Shen Huan screamed
Chu Xichen glanced at her and said to Chun'er: "If your Lord Shangyi is willing to be obedient, I will naturally let you out and let you serve her."
Chun'er looked at Shen Huan sadly, and Shen Huan closed her eyes helplessly and nodded silently.
Chun'er was taken away, and only Xichen and Shen Huan were left in the inner room. Xichen took off his outer robe and put on a homely white robe, but saw Shen Huan still sitting on the ground. He walked over to help her. He picked her up and said softly: "Although there is a felt blanket on the ground, it is still chilly. Your body is already delicate, so you'd better not sit on the ground for too long."
Shen Huan looked at him suspiciously, as if looking at a madman with a split personality!
Xichen sighed and touched her face, but she avoided it. He said: "As long as you stay by my side obediently, I will still pamper you as before and love you. Come and eat something first. What did you do yesterday?" You slept very late, you must be starving now?"
Thinking of last night, Shen Huan's face became ugly. She was so predatory and clearly had no feelings for him, but she actually...
Xichen didn't seem to notice the change in her mood, and just pushed the food in front of her. She calmed down, and she was really hungry, so she picked up the chopsticks to eat.
Before she could finish eating, two young eunuchs came over with a large pile of memorials, placed them on the desk, and then quietly retreated.
Shen Huan glanced at him in confusion, and Xichen said: "From now on, I will work here at night so that I can be with you."
Shen Huan didn't say much, she just ate her meal quietly, and while eating she also came up with ideas.
She can't anger him anymore, never!
She wants to save Chun'er, and even more, she wants to know the news about Twelve!
She suddenly realized that this time she returned to the palace, she was no longer wise.
Because she was physically and mentally tortured at the same time, she became at a loss, unable to escape from the awareness of being bullied and think carefully about what she should do now!
Maybe, she cares too much about Xi Chao
She was raped by Chu Xichen once, and she became disheartened. If Xichao knew about it, would he still like her? And now, her body is getting dirtier and dirtier!
She no longer deserves Xi Chao's love...
Xichen saw the gloomy look on Shen Huan's face and knew that she was thinking wildly again, so he grabbed her hand. Her hand was cold and trembling.
She raised her head and glanced at herself in horror. This glance made his heart hurt slightly. He asked gently: "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Wen tried hard to calm down. He put his other hand under the table and dug his nails into the palm of his hand. What came to mind was the teacher's words: Showing weakness in front of others is better than not fighting at all!
This sentence allowed her to get everything she wanted when she first entered the palace. Now, she still has to use this sentence to regain everything she lost!
Putting down her chopsticks, she stroked her forehead with her hands and said tiredly: "I'm tired."
"Then go and lie down for a while. I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I will stay here and won't go anywhere."
Shen Huan obediently stood up and lay down on the bed. Xichen covered her with the quilt and watched her quietly. Shen Huan closed her eyes and slept facing forward. After a while, she heard him whisper: "Huan Huan , you have to be obedient, if you are still so stubborn, you will suffer, and my heart will be broken."
Shen Huan pretended not to hear, but said in her heart: Yes, I will be obedient! At least I want you to see that I am obedient! But as long as I have a chance, I will definitely kill you if necessary!
After sleeping until night, she got up and had dinner with Xichen. She was sleepy and wanted to sleep again.
Xichen pulled her up with a smile and said, "Why are you sleeping again? It seems like you haven't had enough sleep."
Shen Huan yawned, closed her eyes and said lazily: "I'm very sleepy."
"I guess you didn't sleep well the past few days. What were you doing with your eyes open all day?" Xichen asked calmly while helping her put a pillow behind her back.
Shen Wen put the pillow on her waist to cushion it, looked at him with half-squinted eyes, and asked in a calm tone: "I'm thinking, for a woman like me, will any man really love me?"
Xichen calmed down and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Shen Huan looked a little dazed, and said with a sigh: "If a woman like me were among the people, she would be dipped in a pig cage? My body is already unclean..."
"Shut up!" Xichen's face was filled with anger, "Are you trying to say that having sex with me as husband and wife makes you feel dirty?"
Shen Wen just glanced at him lightly and said slowly: "Aren't you angry with me because of me and Xi Chao...? Otherwise, why would you imprison me here and torture me? Every time you do it to me Venting like a madman!"
"you……"
Seeing that she was about to anger him again, Shen Huan sighed sadly: "You are like this because you dislike me."
Xichen was stunned for a moment, then calmed down his anger and said: "I am angry partly because you have done such a thing, because Twelve is my brother after all! Any other man would be angry, the one he loves A woman and my own brother... But the bigger reason why I am angry at you is that you failed to live up to my hard work and left without saying a word behind my back."
Shen Wen smiled mockingly to himself: "You still despise me..." She couldn't help but feel sad. If he also despised himself, what about Xi Chao? How would Xi Chao view this dirty body!
Xichen said in a deep voice: "I will not dislike you. A man who truly loves you will not care about this, but should care more about your inner quality and cultivation." He paused and then said: "Huanhan, you are with me In my heart, I have always been a beautiful and noble woman, so as long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will still treat you as well as before, or even better than before."
"Really?" Shen Huan was moved, not because of what he said next, but because he said that if a man who truly loves her won't care about those things, then is Xichao the one who truly loves her? If so, he Do you really not care...
"Really" Xichen didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing her expression soften, his heart also softened, he held her in his arms and caressed her gently.
