love concubine

The silence in the room was breathless.

The prince sat on the edge of the bed with me.He kept staring at me, I just pretended not to care and looked back into his eyes.

"You protect him?" The prince's quiet question made me terrified.

"……Ok?"

"Do you know who he is?"

"He actually is!..."

"He is the killer of Shangciyuan."

"...What...?" Killer?my brother? ! "Impossible... how do you know?!"

"The dark lines on his shoulders are the symbol of Shangciyuan."

Shangciyuan... I have heard of this name before.It is said that it is a killer organization that is neither righteous nor evil.For money, they can kill anyone.Up to the emperor, down to women and children.As long as they have money, they don't care about good and evil.They are a cold-blooded organization that treats human life like dirt.

"No..." I muttered in disbelief, "Xiaoxi would not join such an organization..."

"Xiao Xi?"

"My lord..." I suddenly looked into his suspicious eyes, "He is my younger brother...he won't kill anyone!"

My brother will not kill!

how come! ...Could it be that the money that Xiaoxi sent me over the years...was all he got back from killing people? !

When I think of this, my body trembles involuntarily.I grabbed my shirt hard, refusing to believe that my own brother would turn into a cold-blooded killer.

"No, no, no... Xiaoxi is very kind... I love my brother very much..." I cried and murmured.

"Xiaoxue..." The prince gently wanted to hold my hand, but I pushed him away in panic.

After regaining my senses in astonishment, I threw myself into his arms and grabbed his sleeves tightly, "Xiaoxi can't be a killer! My lord!...You must have misread it! Xiaoxi doesn't know martial arts! He It is impossible to kill!"

But looking at Wang Ye's expression, I knew he didn't lie to me.

Xiaoxi actually joined such an organization... Why did he do this?Because of me?Am I the one who forced him into the killer's path?

"My lord..." The guilt made me unable to lift my head.I sobbed resentfully, "I'm a useless older brother!...I actually caused my younger brother to walk on this road!..."

As an elder brother, I don't know how to farm or trade, and I often get sick.I can only hide at home and wait for my brother to send back the money! ...all because of me!Brother, if he didn't want to support me, he wouldn't do dirty things like killing people!

I sob silently.Suddenly, a hand wrapped around my shoulder and hugged me tightly.The prince moved to the bed and sat down, held my head and reached out to stroke my long hair repeatedly.

He didn't tell me not to cry, and he didn't say words of comfort.He didn't say anything.He just held and stroked me until I passed out from crying.

I leaned on his chest, feeling that the sound of his heartbeat was the best comfort.

When I woke up in the morning, I just felt a little headache.

I wanted to stand up, but there was a hand holding me down, "Are you awake?" The prince's gentle voice came from my ear.

I was startled, and my head hurt a little.

"My lord, the sweat towel is ready." I looked up and saw Lan smiling at me warmly, then handed the towel to the person I was leaning against.

I wanted to sit up and see who's arms I was lying in, but I heard the prince say, "Don't move." Then I felt a cool towel on my forehead, and my body immediately felt comfortable, and my thoughts became a little clearer.

"I have a fever again?..."

"It's a little hot." The prince told me.

I stayed for a while, and suddenly I had a headache, "My lord?!"

"Um?"

God!I was actually lying in the arms of the prince? !Could it be that I fell asleep in his arms all night? !Moreover, Ran saw us like this! ... Isn't the prince afraid of being gossiped? !

"Hey, Xiaoxue, don't move." I wanted to struggle again, but the prince held me down again. "Lan, go and see if the medicine is ready."

"Yes, my lord."

Lan walked away quickly, and I lay shyly on that strong chest.

"Do you feel tired?"

"Huh?! No..."

"Are you always sick?"

"Hmm... When I was young, I got sick easily... My mother-in-law said that it was because I was born early that I was weak and sick."

"Grandma?"

"Ah! It's not really my mother-in-law. It's just that my brother and I were brought up by her since we were young, so we call her mother-in-law."

"Tell me more about you."

"Um?......"

"Where are you from? How is your relationship with your brother?"

I pursed my lips and secretly wondered, why did the prince suddenly ask about my affairs?But I couldn't help answering, so I said, "I was born in the outskirts of the countryside, and I lived with my younger brother and mother-in-law since I was a child. I have no impression of my own mother, and I have never heard of my own father." I only heard from my mother-in-law that my mother was originally from outside the village. She came to the village with me alone, and I was born three months later, a full month earlier. At that time, there was an uncle next door who was very kind to our mother and child. Good. My mother-in-law said that my mother must have fallen in love with him. Then when I was two years old, my mother and my uncle had a son. I thought that my uncle would marry my mother, but he refused to admit that the child was His. There was a lot of trouble, and people in the village said my mother was an adulterer and disobedient. In the end, my mother couldn't bear the people's scolding, and she threw herself into the river. Leaving me two years old and a few months old younger brother.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law kindly took us in.When my brother and I grew up, our appearance was completely different.The younger brother has ancient tung skin, which gives people a feeling of being tall and bright, and not easy to bully.But I was as thin as my daughter's, my eyes were only this big, and my skin was fair and tender.I walked with my younger brother, but he was like an older brother, and I was my younger sister... When other children teased me, my younger brother would not take it seriously and stand up to vent my anger on me.

Finally, when I was 12 years old, my mother-in-law who had been taking care of us passed away, and we became completely unreliable for a while.One day, my younger brother suddenly told me that the uncle next door would take him to find a job in the big town next door, and when he found it, he would send the money back to me, telling me not to worry.Although I objected to letting my ten-year-old brother go to work in a different place, they set off at night without telling me, and I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to my brother.

Fortunately, he wrote to me along the way, so I can only feel relieved.

In the first year, he wrote to me regularly, and he also went home to spend Chinese New Year together.But slowly, his letters decreased, and he didn't come back in the second year's New Year. He will definitely send back the money on time.In the last letter, my younger brother said that he would go to the capital to find a job.Since then, he has not been heard from.Unexpectedly... he actually joined such a killer organization..."

No wonder I haven't been able to find him all these years...and the Princess has been unable to hear about him.Xiaoxi... Will he come back again?Has he been found by the organization that he has been here?

The prince was silent for a while, and suddenly he said, "Your face really looks like a girl."

"What?!..." After I said so much, the prince actually focused on this? !

"However," he reached out to help me flip the handkerchief on my forehead, "you are very courageous."

"……Ok?"

"For your younger brother, you left the place where you grew up and came to the capital alone. For Ziyin, you pretended to be a princess regardless of safety. Xiaoxue, you are much stronger than you imagined."

I froze in astonishment, unable to respond for a long time.

My lord... is he comforting me?Because I kept saying I was useless last night... Is that why he said that?  …

"My lord..." I lay on his chest, covering my face with my hands, not wanting him to see my tears, "Thank you..."

I only heard him exhale and chuckle, and then I felt myself being gently picked up by him and put on the bed to lie down.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep first." He announced suddenly.

I suddenly sat up and looked back at him, forgetting the tears on my face.He wanted to cover it up hastily, but the prince didn't seem to notice, "Lie down quickly."

"Um?......"

He closed his eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Before I wake up, lie down and rest well, don't go anywhere."

"My lord...is it because he took care of me last night that he didn't sleep well?..."

"Don't cry at night, I won't have to take care of you."

I stared at him in surprise.I didn't expect the prince to speak so impolitely! "I'm sorry, my lord..."

He looked at me again, "Why don't you lie down?"

"Ah?! It's..."

I timidly leaned over and lay down, but he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled me into his arms, letting me lie on his chest.

"It's better to keep warm if you have a fever." He pulled the quilt and covered half of my head. "When Lan is here, you should drink the medicine first. You are not allowed to get out of the bed, you understand?"

"I know..." I sighed tremblingly.

I feel that I will never forget the prince in my life...
