Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The walls on both sides of the narrow alley cut off the lights of the lanterns in the distance into two halves.

Xia Bai'an stood in the shadows, half leaning against the wall, slowly moving the toes of his shoes forward, waiting for the commotion outside to disappear before they could continue shopping to welcome the Spring Festival.

Mo Che stood on the bright side, his handsome features were completely exposed in front of Xia Bai'an.

He can also have a panoramic view of Xia Bai'an's small movements.

"Want to talk?"

"It's such a good festival, I don't really want to talk about serious business." Xia Bai'an didn't raise his head.

Busy with those so-called business every day, what consumes the most is myself.

Mo Che said again: "I've never had a festival before."

Only then did Xia Bai'an look up at him, with a little surprise in his eyes: "Hasn't there ever been? Even during Chinese New Year..."

"That's not the festival I should have." Mo Che shook his head, and stated his past very calmly, "These festivals and scenery are not very important to me. I didn't have time to participate when I was young, and I couldn't participate when I was young. To this day...the excitement doesn't belong to me at all."

When Mo Che said these words, there was no ups and downs in his voice or face.

But Xia Bai'an was still stung by those few words.

"Don't say that about yourself, no one is deprived of the right to have fun."

"I can enjoy the excitement, but I have long since lost those thoughts."

As Mo Che said, he slowly stepped into the shadow, and pressed his arms against the walls on both sides of Xia Bai'an, trapping her in it in a powerful way.

But he looks like the one who was trapped - Mo Che lowered his head, pressed his forehead against Xia Bai'an's neck in a rare and fragile way, and whispered.

"My secret hurts you, but it also hurts me all the time. You feel uneasy about what I concealed, but I can't give you more guarantees...the only guarantee I can make, there is only one."

Xia Bai'an felt the weight on his shoulders in a daze.

Mo Che was always a strong person.

He would not be so vulnerable in the narrow alley outside.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tightly.

"I am listening."

"After everything is over, we can start from scratch."

Mo Che also slowly hugged her tightly, and said beside her, "Just be patient for a while, and I will make everything return to the original point."

Xia Bai'an caught a few key words in it, and frowned: "Start from the beginning? Go back to the original point?"

Mo Che didn't answer, but suddenly raised his head vigilantly and looked towards the entrance of the alley.

Following his movements, Xia Bai'an also raised his head.

At the entrance of the alley, the crowd behind was still in a panic looking for the murderer who pushed the drunk man into the water, while in front stood An Wang Lichen who was looking at him with a slight smile.

He smiled clearly, but his tone was cold.

"Your Excellency, Captain, is really shameless. How dare a mere Captain make such a big promise."

"His Royal Highness King An."

Mo Che and Xia Bai'an separated each other tacitly, and it was important to salute first.

Mo Che looked worried.

Xia Bai'an was at a loss.

Well done, how did you meet Li Chen here?

Li Chen took Kang Heng into the narrow alley without haste, and stopped in front of several people.

"Since Mr. Colonel can't give his wife love now, why bother to promise the future without shame, saying that the world is unpredictable. Mr. Captain may also realize that the current situation is turbulent. Why...you dare to speak such nonsense?"

Mo Che straightened his back and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"As a husband, I naturally speak for my wife's peace of mind. His Royal Highness King An came to the capital alone and left Princess An, who was fief. To this day, Princess An and Concubine Xu have not reunited as sisters. King An himself has not If you can take care of the housework, how can you take care of other people's family affairs?"

Li Chen frowned: "The concubine is sick and cannot easily see the wind, so she can't follow me to the capital."

Mo Che looked coldly: "If you take good care of her, how can the princess get sick?"

The two looked at each other, undercurrents surged.

Xia Bai'an was even more confused when he listened.

These two... What kind of riddle are they trying to play on Princess An?

She only remembered that Li Chen's concubine, Concubine An, was the sister of Concubine Xu, the biological mother of the fifth prince Li Cong. In private, Li Chen and the fifth prince Li Cong were also good for this.

but……

What does this have to do with Mo Che? Why are you just talking about Princess An?

She was puzzled, and quietly pinched the corner of Mo Che's clothes, and said in a low voice: "If you are worried about Princess An, I can take care of it."

"..."

Mo Che's face turned dark several degrees.

Kang Heng was so embarrassed that he didn't want to look at it anymore, even the frost on Li Chen's face showed slight cracks.

The two of them came and went for a long time just now, Xia Bai'an didn't understand at all!

Seeing the different faces of several people, Xia Bai'an thought that Mo Che was always dissatisfied with his cooperation with Li Chen, and now that he mentioned Princess An, he was afraid that he was just trying to make people angry.

But today is the Spring Festival, Mo Che has just joined the Evergreen Army, and Li Chen has managed to loosen some control recently, so it is not good for the other to make a fuss.

Thinking of this, she quietly pulled Mo Che to her side.

"Does His Highness King An have any orders? Just tell me."

"I said, don't get close to him again." Mo Che angrily reprimanded in a low voice.

"Then I also need protection when I do things in the palace, otherwise I will die if I make a mistake and be trapped in the palace." Xia Bai'an explained in a low voice.

She originally wanted to use the Queen Mother as a backing for the children at home.

Unexpectedly, Mo Che would be promoted as soon as she returned to the capital, and her purpose became to accept the Queen Mother's protection in the palace, at least not to have those things with Concubine Degui and the Seventh Prince Li Jie happen again.

Mo Che's eyes became colder.

In the palace, he really couldn't intervene.

And Li Chen vaguely heard the conversation between the two, and laughed.

"It seems that the Captain is indeed not strong enough to make Madam feel at ease."

Mo Che was about to turn cold.

However, Xia Bai'an spoke first: "As much power as there is, there will be as much restraint. If you can't go up or down, for me, it's another kind of peace of mind."

Mo Che slowly withdrew his cold face.

On the contrary, Li Chen slowly frowned.

So, is Xia Bai'an actually protecting Mo Che like this?

It was obvious that there was an unpleasant scene before, but now, after hearing a few words from Mo Che in the narrow alley, his heart softened?

It's not like the Xia Bai'an he knew - she should have no scruples.

"Since you like your husband so much, this king will naturally not face him again. I just came here today. Since I met you, I ask you to do me a favor."

After speaking, Li Chen went straight to the depths of the narrow alley.

help?

It should have something to do with the Queen Mother.

She followed suit, and Mo Che wanted to follow, but was stopped by Kang Heng: "Your Highness has something to discuss with Physician Xia, and you don't need to listen to such secret matters."

Xia Bai'an also waved his hand: "I'll come back as soon as I hear it!"

Mo Che's cold eyes, Xia Bai'an's heartless, really shouldn't be used at such a time!
