Su Chen was lowering his head when he suddenly felt a dark shadow coming over him. Just as he was about to raise his head, a warm embrace came over him.
Su Chen was stunned, Xia Li's chin rested lightly on the top of her head, and his arms held her tightly in his arms.
"You know, right?" After a long while, Xia Li spoke hoarsely.
"Yes." Su Chen responded softly, pressing her cheek against his chest. At this moment, she felt extremely attached to his embrace.
"Don't be afraid, I will always be with you." Xia Li's voice was low and mellow, which was inexplicably reassuring.
Su Chen couldn't help but shed tears.
Xia Li raised her face and saw the tears slightly hanging on her cheeks. His heart ached. He couldn't help but bend his head to kiss the tears on her face. The hand holding her body suddenly tightened, so tight that Su
Chen felt the pain.
Su Chen did not push him away, but suddenly felt that the fear in his heart was no less than hers. Was he afraid that he would die?
Su Chen was in a daze.
That's all, why should she run away from Xia Li's feelings? She didn't care about him unintentionally. She was not a timid person. After crossing over, she always had too many scruples, so she hesitated to move forward. She always wanted to leave here and go to
Living a carefree life, but ignoring the truest feelings in my heart.
All in all, she still couldn't let go of Xia Li.
After a while, Xia Li raised his head and looked into her bright eyes. His heart paused, and then ecstasy filled his eyebrows, "You are willing to accept me, right?"
Su Chen nodded, reached out to brush his eyebrows, and sighed, "Do you think I'm selfish?"
Xia Li's eyebrows were bright, and a stream of brilliant light leaked from the corners of his narrow eyes. He stared at her scorchingly. When he heard what she said behind him, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, "Why do you think so?"
Su Chen wrinkled his nose, "I know that I may not live long, so I am willing to put down my burdens and be with you. Isn't that selfish?"
Xia Li hugged her into his arms again, resting his chin on her shoulder. A brilliant flash of light flashed through his jewel-like eyes, "I don't think like that, and you don't have to think about yourself like that. I like you, actually because
It doesn't matter if you give up the country, I just want to join hands with you to grow old together."
Su Chen was shocked, and for a while, his heart filled with unspeakable sweetness. He finally found his voice, frowned and said, "You don't want to break your promise, do you?"
Xia Li didn't react, "What?"
"Didn't you give me a jade seal before?" Su Chen looked at him suspiciously, "What you said then were not to tease me, were you?"
Xia Li immediately understood, pursed his lips and smiled, "Aren't you not curious about it?"
"Who said that?" Su Chen blinked, "I'm very rare, and I always remember every word you said."
Xia Li smiled, picked up her hair with his long fingers, and said slowly: "Then don't regret it."
"Absolutely not." Su Chen said categorically: "I will be the only woman in your harem, hold the Phoenix Seal, and send any woman who dares to covet you into the cold palace."
Xia Li laughed softly, "It's up to you, my queen."
Su Chen raised his eyebrows, and a smile as bright as a star broke out on his face.
Xia Li pressed her forehead against hers. It took him a while to realize that the food was getting cold, so he quickly hugged her and sat at the table. He took the food and urged, "Eat quickly."
After eating, Su Chen wanted to look at the stars. Xia Li hugged her and went directly to the roof without saying anything.
Nestled in Xia Li's arms, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, Su Chen said casually: "Is the painting in Princess Hongyan's hand a gift from you?"
Xia Li looked down at her, a little surprised, "You know?"
Su Chen looked up at him and teased: "You are so cunning. You actually dare to plot against your own brother, Xia Bing. Aren't you afraid that he will fall out with you if he finds out?"
"I'm afraid." Xia Bing whispered, looking at the distant sky with somewhat distant eyes, "I have always heard that Princess Hongyan is an amazing woman. She holds half of the Xuanyuan Kingdom's troops. Don't think she is a weak woman.
, but for marching and formation, he is a rare talent, and he can compete with A Bing. If the two of them can like each other, wouldn't it be a good thing? "
"So you have already planned it. But I think Xia Bing is not interested in Princess Hongyan!" Su Chen sighed. She knew that Hongyan was an amazing woman, but it didn't mean that Xia Bing would like such a person.
Woman! Moreover, she saw that Xia Bing, a cold-blooded man, seemed a little slow when it came to love between men and women.
"Isn't Princess Hongyan already attracted? She is so strong, how can she let the person she likes ignore her?" Xia Li said slowly, he was not worried about these two people.
Su Chen suddenly realized and stared at him with bright eyes, "She really doesn't know how. She even asked me to help her make an appointment with Xia Bing." After saying that, he lowered his voice and said: "I think she is very serious, so she will definitely stand up.
On our side, she has promised to help me find an antidote."
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Li's face to see his reaction.
As expected, Xia Li's expression changed, and his eyebrows were covered with a layer of coldness, "Did Xuanyuan Hao poison you?"
Su Chen didn't speak, just looked at him.
She and Xia Li had already expressed their feelings for each other, and she felt there was no need to hide Xia Li anymore, even though Xuanyuan Hao had threatened her again and again.
But Xia Li is not a vegetarian, and he and Nangong Ximo have long known about his poisoning.
Will Xia Li be afraid of Xuanyuan Hao? Of course not.
From the conversation with Xuanyuan Hao, she vaguely knew that Xuanyuan Hao was quite afraid of Xia Li.
Now that things have happened, she really doesn't need to hide Xia Li anymore. Moreover, Xia Li understood what she meant by her words.
While Xia Li was angry, his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he felt regretful and self-blame.
"Why would he do this?" he muttered, his eyebrows deep.
Su Chen held his hand, "You don't have to blame yourself, I know why Xuanyuan Hao did this to me?" After a pause, Su Chen decided to tell the truth, "Because I am the daughter of Empress Su who has passed away long ago in Xuanyuan Kingdom. He
It seems like he wants to get something from me."
Xia Li looked at her in shock, then thought of something and felt relieved, "I should have thought that Hu Lan's origins are not simple!"
"I only found out about my life experience today. Hu Lan has been hiding it from me." Su Chen said, not caring too much about his life experience.
Xia Li nodded. He had heard something about Queen Su of Xuanyuan Kingdom. It was rumored that she was the daughter of the previous lord of Yelan City.
