The nine princesses of the East Palace

I stepped on a step, raised my hand and opened the door, as soon as the door opened, Li Chengyin's face came into view, it turned out that he was standing behind the door.

Before I could make a sound, he stretched out his hand and pulled me, and my whole body was locked tightly in his arms.The clothes on his body hadn't been changed yet, his sleeves were torn and torn, and there was still a smell of blood.

Although the smell was unpleasant, I didn't push him away, but reached out and patted his shoulder.

We were all silent, no one spoke, after a long time, Li Chengyin's voice came from above his head: "Xiaofeng, I'm sorry for making you frightened."

His voice sounded muffled, and seemed to contain anxiety, resignation, self-blame, and even fear.

"It's none of your business, it's those assassins who are too rampant." I said, "Besides, am I okay? Everyone is okay, sister Mingyue will be fine too."

"In the future, don't be so stupid again." He touched the top of my hair, "You never need to stand in front of me."

"But……"

Li Chengyin interrupted my words: "There is no but. If I am unfortunately killed, either dead or injured, it should be regarded as more than justified."

"Bah bah bah, what's 'death is more than guilty'! Do you know how to use words? Thanks to you, you are still a prince." He always said that I used words indiscriminately, and the words didn't convey the meaning, but now he used them indiscriminately.

He didn't refute, just chuckled, "After all, I'm much luckier than my father."

"Eh? Lucky or not?" Can't he say something I can understand?

He let go of me, faced me face to face, and slowly said: "It is the greatest luck in my life to have the mercy of the Ninth Princess."

The candlelight in the room was very weak, but his eyes were very bright. I lowered my eyes uncomfortably, and began to talk about him, "Why don't you change your clothes? It stinks!"

His expression froze, he raised his left and right sleeves and sniffed, and said in a very uncertain tone, "Is there any?"

"Why not? It just stinks to death." I said confidently.

He couldn't hold back anymore, turned his head and walked to the bedroom.I heard him ask Shi En to fetch water, and after Shi En fetched water, he went to the bathroom, and after dawdling for a long time, no one was seen.

He's really awkward, didn't I just say something to him?Does it take half an hour to wash?In fact, I suspect that he brushed off two layers of skin.

When I was so sleepy and wanted to roll onto the couch to dream about Duke Zhou, Li Chengyin finally came out of the bathroom covered in steam.As soon as he came out, he leaned in front of me, "There is no smell of blood now, if you don't believe me, you can smell it?"

"I don't smell it." I said angrily, "I'm so sleepy, go to sleep!"

After I said that, I lay down on his couch, but he tugged at my sleeve and said, "Wait, apply the medicine first."

"Oh, where is the medicine?" I held out my hand to him.I thought of the injury on his body, and thought to myself, wipe it off quickly, and then go to bed after wiping, I will still look at the light tomorrow, maybe I will have to look at it all night, so I need to refresh myself.

Li Chengyin took out an ointment and handed it to me, "Wipe it on my knees, it will be healed in three to five days."

"Knee? You hurt your knee too?" I asked.As I said that, I looked towards his knees.

Seeing that I didn't take the ointment, he took it back and held it in his hand, then sat down, "It's for you."

"What do you do for me? My knee isn't hurt..." Before I finished speaking, Li Chengyin pressed on my knee, the pain made me gasp, and I quickly slapped his hand away.

"It's really not wronging you to say that you are stupid. I didn't even know that I was injured. I'm so stupid..."

"It didn't really hurt before." I whispered.

Li Chengyin gave me a white look, and asked: "Will you wipe it yourself or should I wipe it for you?"

I smiled at him doggy, "Wipe it for me." After that, I rolled up my trouser legs and moved towards him.

He glanced at my bruised knee, slowly squeezed out the ointment and applied it on it, and rubbed it with his palm bit by bit, "From now on, no matter when and where, you have to protect yourself, you know? "

"I know, I know, it's a pity that I'm dead, don't worry." I thought that if I didn't nod, he would chatter for a long time, so I smiled and nodded at him again and again.

He glanced at me, and continued to rub my knees silently, as if he would not be reconciled until the bruise was rubbed away.

In fact, after rubbing the medicine, it doesn't hurt anymore.

It's really strange not to speak like this, I remembered the Marriage Temple of Sanyin Mountain that Yong Niang had mentioned to me, so I said: "By the way, Li Chengyin, shall we go to Sanyin Mountain tomorrow?"

"What are you going to Sanyin Mountain for?" Li Chengyin glanced at me.

"Seek the red line, seek marriage." I said.Yong Niang said, during the Lantern Festival, this place is very lively, almost the threshold of this Marriage Temple is almost broken, how can I not go to such a lively place?

After hearing this, Li Cheng Yin's face darkened, and his hands moved much slower, and he looked at me with an unhappy face: "I need to remind you, you are a married woman now, you don't need to ask for a red thread, and you don't need to ask for a red line, and you don't need to ask for a red line." Marriage is needed, and the Marriage Temple is a place only for single men and women."

"Can't I go and have a look? I can't pretend to be single?" I was a little unwilling.

"No." He replied without thinking.

"If you don't go, can I go by myself?" I still didn't give up.

"No." Li Chengyin said, "Father was assassinated outside the palace today, although there is no danger to his life, but this matter will definitely be investigated to the end. In the past one or two months, there will definitely be some great turmoil in the court. There will be many murderous opportunities outside the palace, you can no longer leave the palace without authorization, and you can't leave me even half a step tomorrow."

"Is it so serious?" I thought it was just an ordinary assassin, but I didn't expect to have something to do with the court. What kind of official is so bold that he dared to assassinate the emperor?If it is found out, it will implicate the whole family.

Li Chengyin didn't explain too much, just said: "Anyway, just listen to me."

"But I want to see the lights." I have been waiting for the Lantern Festival for several months. If I can't even see the lights, I will definitely die of depression.Waiting for next year...I don't know what will happen next year.

Li Chengyin said: "I'll watch with you."

As soon as I heard it, I immediately looked up at him: "Then don't regret it."

He smiled and asked back: "I can't ask for it, why should I go back on my word?"

Uh, I choked for a moment.

He covered the lid of the ointment and put it aside, then took off his shoes and got on the couch, lay down next to me, propped his head on one hand, looked at me and said: "Shuangwangshuanggui is an old custom of the Shangyuan Festival, which means It is said that a married woman should look at the lantern with her husband, and pray for a harmonious and beautiful new year. You are my princess, so naturally you want to look at the lantern with me."

"Then let's go to bed quickly." I said, "There will be a lot of things tomorrow."

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Not long after we lay down, Shi En called Li Cheng Yin outside.

"What's the matter?" Li Cheng Yin asked through the door.

Shi En said: "Eunuch Cao said, Your Majesty, please go to the Hall of Qinzheng to discuss important matters."

"I see, just ask Eunuch Cao to wait for a while." Li Chengyin said and got up.

"Li Chengyin..." I was a little uneasy, and got up.

"It's okay, don't worry." Li Chengyin pushed me back, "Go to bed first, don't wait for me."

He quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and went out, and when the door was closed, I couldn't see him.It was only now that I felt a little cold, so I quickly retracted into the quilt.
