Chu Xichen rarely wore white clothes. At this time, he was standing in plain clothes. He looked tall and tall, with a handsome face. He walked slowly towards Shen Han, walked into the house, and asked lightly: "Hanghan, are you awake?" Already?"
"Why are you here?" Shen Huan put the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears and asked softly.
Chu Xichen looked a little grim and replied: "Xiao Wumian took away my concubine, shouldn't I get the woman who originally belonged to me back?"
Shen Huan took a deep breath, glanced to the side involuntarily, and lowered her eyelashes
Chu Xichen put his hands on her shoulders, looked into her eyes and said, "Go back with me!"
Shen Wen was startled, looked up at him, and asked, "You should know who I am. Under such circumstances, do you still want me to follow you?"
Chu Xichen's expression remained calm, but her tone was unmistakable: "What your identity is, it doesn't make much difference to me. The key is that you are still my concubine."
"But," Shen Huan stared into his eyes and said solemnly, "I am not only your concubine, but also the princess of the Southern Kingdom and the only heir."
Chu Xichen was silent and looked at her quietly. Shen Huan smiled to herself, turned around and sat on the chair by the window, and said slowly: "Actually, you knew it from the beginning, right? Ever since your father asked you to I vowed to get rid of the Shen family as soon as I succeed to the throne, and you will know my true identity. Xiao Wumian said, you got rid of the Shen family to fulfill your promise to your father, so I shouldn't hate you."
Chu Xichen walked up to her, put his arms around her shoulders and let her lean against him, and said lightly: "In addition to fulfilling my promise to my father, I got rid of the Shen family because I didn't want them to tell you that you My true identity is Huanyu. I have never been afraid of anything since I was a child, but I am only afraid that you will leave me." His tone was a little sad, and he looked out the window, as if he was remembering the past a long time ago. "Prime Minister Shen's ambition is getting bigger and bigger. , with a daughter like you, he is no longer willing to be an ordinary prime minister. If he is content with the status quo, maybe the father will not get rid of him, but... if he tells you your true identity, then you leave me The time is not now, but far before.”
"Stop talking," Shen Wen interrupted him, hugged his waist, and raised his head to look at him, "Sooner or later, I will know the truth of the matter, and I would rather know the truth and leave than let you do it. Throw away your life." With tears in her eyes, she was full of apologies, "Xichen, I'm so sorry..."
"Idiot" Chu Xichen hugged her lovingly, while Shen Huan sobbed softly.
There was a gentle knock on the door. Xichen let go of Shen Huan and went to open the door. The person outside the door whispered: "Xiao Wumian is under martial law and cannot leave the city."
Xichen hesitated for a moment, then said "I know", closed the door again, and returned to Shen Huan.
"What's wrong?" Shen Huan saw that his face was not very good and asked hurriedly
Chu Xichen said: "It's nothing."
Shen Huan tilted his head slightly and asked: "Did Xiao Wumian surround the entire city and you can't get out for the time being? Moreover, Xiao Wumian also spent a lot of troops searching everywhere?"
Chu Xichen smiled and said: "It seems that although you haven't been with him for a long time, you know him very well."
Shen Huan smiled, as if remembering something, and asked again: "By the way, why were you there last night?"
Chu Xichen's face became very cold, and there was cold anger in his tone: "That day, you went to the Ancestral Temple to worship heaven, and encountered a mad cow on the way. Xiao Wumian rescued you from the palace carriage. I saw it clearly He was holding you. Later, I found out that Ye Cangqiong had also come to the South Country, and seemed to be interested in you... I secretly paid attention, and everything that happened in Deyi Building did not escape my eyes. I secretly sent someone to follow Ye Cangqiong, knowing that he had taken you Abducted... But I didn't expect that he would use such insidious and despicable methods!" At this point, he hammered the table hard, "If I hadn't arrived in time, Ye Cangqiong, this despicable villain..."
Shen Huan turned away, not wanting to think of that devil
Chu Xichen leaned down, kissed Shen Huan's forehead gently, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, you have me in everything, and if anyone hurts you, I will make him repay you twice as much!"
Shen Huan's heart moved, don't be afraid, you have me in everything... These words made her think of Xiao Wumian involuntarily. Xiao Wumian must be looking for her like crazy. She shouldn't ignore it. Her surname is not Shen. Her surname is Xiao! Moreover, she is the only direct descendant of the Xiao family... If she follows Chu Xichen and leaves, then what is her responsibility?
Chu Xichen thought she was worried, so she said: "It's okay. I will take you out of the city after a while when the martial law is not so tight."
Shen Huan thought for a moment, held his hand and said, "Xichen, I won't leave with you."
Chu Xichen was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Shen Wen lowered her eyes, not daring to look into his eyes, and whispered: "You forgot, my surname is Xiao."
For a long time, there was a deathly silence in the space, and Shen Huan felt the fear approaching her.
"What do you mean by this?" Chu Xichen's tone was colder than before. "For you, being the Queen of the Southern Kingdom is better than being my concubine, right? If you don't want to be my concubine, I will I can restore your title of Queen! Isn’t it just a name? I can give it to you!”
"No, Xichen, listen to me..."
"What else is there to say!" Chu Xichen's forehead had veins popping out, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles turned white, "Do you know that if you continue to stay in the South Country, it is very likely that we will confront each other in the future? ?I am the emperor of the Northern Kingdom, and you are the princess of the Southern Kingdom. Do you know that this is what I fear the most? I killed so many people and trampled on so many corpses just to avoid this happening!"
"But have you ever thought about me?" Shen Huan had tears in her eyes, "The spirits of my biological parents in heaven are looking at me. I know very well what they want me to do. They used their own lives to quell the war in the country. I I've been away from them for too long... Do you want me to let them down and continue to stay by your side as if I don't know what to do? I'm sorry, I can't do it!"
The air is filled with the smell of war and gunpowder smoke again. When the whole world quiets down, the two of them will truly recall the original time.
Everything has changed
Chu Xichen can keep this secret and never tell it, just to keep Shen Huan by his side
However, once Shen Huan learns the truth, what should have happened happened. Since what has happened, there will be no going back to the past.
The spring in the South is not very cold, but in a room with only two people, it becomes more and more deserted.
"Are you really not going to come with me?" Xichen's cold voice was full of helplessness.
Shen Huan nodded slowly and said one word: "Yes"
Xichen sighed lowly, turned around and walked out.
Shen Huan suddenly had the feeling that once he stepped out of this door, he would disappear from her life... "Xichen!" She suddenly shouted, her voice choked with sobs.
Xichen paused, his figure trembling slightly, but just for a moment, he walked out resolutely, without looking back, without a single pause.
Shen Huan's tears suddenly burst out like a dam. She lowered her head and hugged her trembling shoulders with her hands. Loneliness and sadness swept her whole world.
