Chu Xi gradually fell asleep, and Zhen Qing sat motionless on the small stool, lying on the edge of the bed and staring at him.

The beautifully shaped eyes have complex emotions, with a hint of gentle undertone.It's as if a small opening has been pried open in a closed world.

When I was eight years old, the cold air in the burned-out room was overwhelming, and my mother's body became more and more stiff after she died for a long time.Zhenqing knelt on one side without crying.From that day on, Zhenqing thought she had lost the only person in the world she could love.Since he was born, he has never seen kindness, except for his mother who loves him and teaches him everything about himself. Only his mother even gave him a future with her life.

But this person in front of him, who had nothing to do with him, came to save him, risking his death.From the very beginning, she looked at him with such an annoying smile, worried about him, made him happy, got close to him, and did everything her mother had done to him.But no, not the same.He is different from his mother, what is the difference?Zhenqing frowned slightly, and after a while, a faint red crept up her face.

He remembered the words that the guards used to joke, "Like a lover!"

lover?

Zhen Qing's eyes gradually focused on Chu Xi's tall nose, thin lips, and bare shoulders with tight muscles and smooth lines. Zhen Qing, who had been watching for so many days, was suddenly a little embarrassed to continue watching, and buried her face in the Under the fluffy quilt.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xi woke up from hunger.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhenqing lying beside him, and he didn't know how long he had slept.He propped himself up with his right hand, and moved half of the quilt to Zhenqing's thin back.

As soon as the quilt touched Zhenqing, Zhenqing moved and Yoyo woke up.Rubbing his eyes, he said, "What time is it?"

Chu Xi looked at the sky and said, "It's you time."

Chu Xi was injured, so she ordered her servants to put a table on the bed.Top with meals.Zhenqing took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.The injury was on the left shoulder blade, so Chu Xi couldn't move her left hand.With a spoon in her right hand, Chu Xi poked it in the bowl, brought it to her mouth, and then poked it in the vegetable. She couldn't poke a piece of wax gourd for a long time.

Zhenqing sighed, picked up the disobedient winter melon with chopsticks, and put it in his wooden spoon.

Chu Xi ate it in one bite, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."

Zhenqing finished her meal in a few mouthfuls and put down the bowl.Then pick up the bowl on the opposite side with one hand, and grab the spoon on the other side with the other.He scooped up a spoonful of rice and brought it to Chu Xi's mouth.

Chu Xi stared at Zhen Qing with a strange expression.

"Eat."

Chu Xi mechanically opened her mouth wide, and Zhen Qing stuck the spoon in.

"A lot." Chu Xi protested while chewing with puffy cheeks.

Zhenqing scooped up a spoonful again, and Chu Xi reluctantly stopped talking, and just opened her mouth to take a mouthful.

The two fed one to the other, and Chu Xi ate all the food for an hour.

After the servants removed the food, Chu Xi couldn't help but look at Zhen Qing again, and laughed.

Zhenqing glanced at him suspiciously: "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Xi said: "I'm being taken care of by your son today, can't I be happy?"

Zhenqing laughed "puchi", and said softly: "I'm not a noble son in the first place."

It was night, and Chu Xi beside her was already asleep.With her strong body rising and falling with the sound of her shallow breathing, Zhenqing opened her eyes in the dark, unable to fall asleep due to the troubled thoughts in her heart.Even so, the shallow breathing in his ears made him feel extremely at ease.

"Hmm." Chu Xi was pushed awake from her sleep, and just about to make a sound, she found that her mouth was tightly covered with hands, and the faint scent of medicine entered her nose.

"There's someone." Zhen Qing leaned into his ear and said, the warm air that he exhaled hit his face.

Chu Xi woke up in a jerk, jumped out of bed without a sound, and grabbed the dagger on the table.Zhenqing supported him and hid behind the screen.

As soon as he stood still, a hidden weapon fell from the roof, the metal reflected light, and the spike-shaped hidden weapon was inserted into the bed with a bang.

Goosebumps appeared on Chu Xi's back. In the darkness, her heart was beating wildly. Chu Xi restrained her breathing as much as possible.

Noticing that there was no one on the bed, a black shadow lightly landed on the ground.After standing still, he turned and walked in the direction where they were hiding.

Those two people and him are just separated by a screen.

was found.Chu Xi tensed his muscles, the threat to his life made him temporarily forget about his shoulder injury.

Before the other party could make a move, Chu Xi jumped up on the spot, pierced the screen with a bright short knife, and stabbed forward!

The man in black took a step back in an instant, using his forearm to block the tip of the knife, the protective gear collided with the short knife,

With a bang, the two staggered away.

Without any time to breathe, the other party immediately attacked Chu Xi's vitals.Chu Xi practiced martial arts since she was a child, and was taught by a famous teacher, so she was a little overwhelmed for a while.

While resisting, Chu Xi secretly panicked. It was definitely not a simple handwriting that could easily suppress him. Now that he has a shoulder injury and Zhen Qing has no strength to restrain a chicken, what should he do!

It's too late to say it!

A censer flew in the air and hit the back of the assassin's heart. Chu Xi seized the opportunity and pierced it.Pin each other to the ground.

With a puff, blood gushed out.The man still didn't give up, Zhenqing picked up the incense burner and smashed it on his head.

Well now, completely fainted.

As soon as Chu Xi let go, she was so painful that she couldn't stand up immediately.The wounds were all open, and blood soaked the bandages.

As soon as Zhenqing looked up and saw his bruised and sweaty face by the moonlight, she immediately panicked, stepped over the unconscious person on the ground, and helped Chuxi onto the bed.

By candlelight, Zhen Qing frowned tightly, sprinkled the hemostatic powder evenly on the wound, and then bandaged it again.

Chu Xi hissed, and said in a voice as thin as a gossamer: "Fortunately, fortunately, otherwise I will implicate you."

Zhenqing's hand tightened, and Chu Xi let out an "ow".Only then did Zhenqing say sullenly: "At this point, there is nothing more to say."

"Hey, military division, you were really accurate just now."

"Ah."

"Who sent him? Could it be the Princess?"

"No, the princess has no reason."

"Tuoba Yuan?"

"Possibly, but how do they know where we are"

"Then... who else?"

Zhenqing said nothing.

Chuxi Nahan turned his head from a difficult angle, and saw Zhenqing hanging his head, with a puzzled expression on his face. After a while, Zhenqing suddenly said in an almost pleading tone, "Let's retire, okay?"

Those glazed eyes seemed to be glinting with water. Zhen Qing paused, stretched out a hand, and gently put it on Chu Xi's rough face, "We don't want to go back to the capital, okay?"

Under the dim candlelight, a red mole under Zhenqing's eyes became more and more gorgeous, making him pale and thin like a dead person.

Chu Xi's eyes fell on those slightly trembling thin lips, and she said slowly, "Yan Shigao?"

Zhenqing didn't speak.

The candle burned quietly.The entanglement of the smell of blood and candlelight made people dizzy.Zhenqing looked at him quietly, gradually approached him, and gently pressed her trembling lips to him.

The slightly trembling eyelashes swept gently.

His eyes darkened, and something soft touched his lips.The whirling thoughts in his head were cut off by a gentle sharp sword.Chu Xi's head froze, and all the turmoil in the officialdom turned into a river of spring water flowing eastward.Zhen Qing straightened up, turned her head away expressionlessly.

Chu Xi stammered, "You...why are you?"

Zhenqing smiled with her lips curled up, the candles flickering in her eyes, and said: "I am pleased with you."

Chu Xi blushed, and there was faint heat coming from the top of his head. This sudden surprise shocked him, and he said like in a dream: "I... I too... I also... ..."

Zhenqing chuckled and said, "I see."

Chu Xi chuckled.

There was a sound of clothes rubbing against the ground, and Zhenqing looked back, and saw that the assassin had already woken up, and was staring at them with panicked eyes, while supporting himself to move back.

Zhenqing picked up the knife, walked up to the man, stepped on the man's leg, and said, "Who sent you here?"

The man chuckled: "It's impossible to tell you."

Zhenqing squatted down, glanced at him coolly, lowered her head and stabbed the knife into his thigh with a bang.

The man let out a muffled grunt, and waited fiercely for Zhenqing.

"Who sent you here?"

As soon as Zhenqing raised her head, she watched the jaw move of the person in front of her with sharp eyes, feeling bad, it was already too late.

People sent to assassinate usually have phallus under their tongues, which can be swallowed if caught.

Zhenqing stood up, clicked his tongue, and threw the knife aside.

Turning around to Chu Xi, he said, "I forgot that he might have brought a gun, so I can't find out."

Chu Xi couldn't recover from being frightened by Zhen Qing stabbing someone with a knife just now, she said in a daze, "Oh, good."

"What's so good?" Zhen Qing pinched Chu Xi's handsome face and frowned.

This subordinate was really serious, Chu Xi came back to his senses in an instant, and everything that happened just now finally made sense in his mind.

He said, "Then... can you sleep with me tonight?"
