Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!

Chapter 4: Settle accounts

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Liang used to protect the young lord and listened to politics, united with the Jinyi Guards and formed a party for private business. In the name of "the side of the emperor," she did the dirty work of holding the government and the opposition and controlling the puppet emperor. The biggest obstacle to obstructing the Empress Dowager Liang's plan was the Dongchang organization that directly obeyed the emperor's orders.

The Empress Dowager Liang had an unsteady foundation. She fought Shenxuan for a year. Knowing that she was not the opponent of Dongchang, she retreated to the second place and took the initiative to marry for peace, saying she would like to marry a daughter of the clan to Shenxuan as his wife. The two will always repair the old ones, but they are actually just infiltrating the minions into the East Factory and secretly manipulating Shen Xuan's forces.

Shen Xuan was clever and tough. She grew up in the rain of swords and blood since she was a child. She sat in the position of admiral of the East Factory all the way to the gods and the Buddhas. How could she fail to see through the little abacus of the Queen Mother?

On the one hand, Shen Xuan was to fulfill the agreement with others, and on the other hand, she deliberately embarrassed the queen mother, and subconsciously said: "If the empress mother sincerely puts down her body to make friends with me, how about rationing me the longest princess Changning, whom Xiandi loves the most?"

This was a tricky move, but the Queen Mother Liang agreed.

Even today, after getting married, Shen Xuan hurriedly returned to the East Factory after dealing with the thief, and was urged by the attendant to put on the wedding gown, which was still somewhat unreal. He didn't seem to have reacted yet. How could that delicate little princess who was dressed in fine clothes and food six years ago really became his own wife.

But now, the grown-up Xiao Changning and Pingting curled up, but he married with the determination to die, and prepared himself for mourning in advance.

Shen Xuan felt bitten by a soft rabbit.

He was very angry and laughed, and he just got up and picked up the Hefu wine on the case table, and handed a glass to Xiao Changning, "The Governor knows that the princess has arrived for the first time, and she is not used to it. No matter what, this Hefu wine is still to be drunk."

Xiao Changning didn't take the wine, and was stubborn with a broken jar, "Anyway, I won't grow old with one's head, and it's useless to drink."

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the room changed suddenly.

Shen Xuan's eyes sank, and she only said one word: "Drink."

Although Xiao Changning's temperament is a little arrogant, but fortunately, he knows how to accept it. Hearing that Shen Xuan's tone was cold, she knew that she had made a mistake, so she took the glass of wine slowly, but didn't drink it.

"Why, afraid of poison?" Shen Xuan smiled coolly, and only drank the wine in her glass. "It's no good for me to kill you. Why waste a bottle of poison."

Xiao Changning was so apprehensive that his thoughts had been exposed, so he had to raise a glass to Shen Xuan.

"Hold on." Shen Xuan stopped her, "eat some porridge before drinking alcohol."

"I can't eat anymore." Xiao Changning took a sip of his drink.

The fine wine was very fragrant and strong. It scraped across the throat like a knife and set a fire in the abdomen.

It was so spicy that she almost shed tears.

For a moment, I even thought that I would just die like that, no matter if he was poisoned or a knife! You don't have to be in a bow and a snake's shadow, you don't have to survive, come cleanly, go cleanly.

But this thought just made a head, and it disappeared before the tears fell.

Xiao Changning was reluctant to die, she was only seventeen years old, even if she could live through tonight, it would be good to live for a moment.

The room was quiet for a while, only to hear the crackling and burning sound of candle wicks. Shen Xu calmly swept across the reddish Xiao Changning at the end of her eyes, the hostility between her eyebrows disappeared a little, and she reminded: "The drink is a bit spicy, you haven't eaten, and it hurts your stomach."

Xiao Changning pulled his sleeve and said, "My palace doesn't want to eat."

The little princess seemed soft and weak, but she was very arrogant.

Shen Xuan stood upright, sturdy and tall, and condescendingly looked at Xiao Changning, who was like a frightened bird. Her tone was still calm: "I don't like to listen to frustrations, and I don't like wearing white clothes on the wedding night. I took off what I was wearing in linen and filial piety."

"I don't want it." Xiao Changning silently pressed his shirt tightly and said with a blushing face, "You will be naked if you take it off."

Shen Xuan raised her eyebrows again, and simply ignored her, and untied her outer robe, revealing the black-blue narrow-sleeved martial arts robe inside. He has slender hands and feet, wide shoulders and narrow waist. His stature is perfect first-class. Unfortunately, Xiao Changning didn't want to appreciate at all. He just said vigilantly: "What are you going to do?"

Shen Xuan asked back: "It's this hour, and it's dead in the night, what can I do?" Naturally, she went to bed undressed.

As he said, he washed his face with cold water in the basin, picked up his fingers, and unfastened his wristband and belt, and Xuanqing's robe was hung half-open on his body. The next moment, he took off his gilt crown and hat, and his facial features became sharper and more beautiful in the flickering candlelight.

When Shen Xuan sat on the bed, Xiao Changning stood up quickly, carefully moving away from him.

Shen Xuan watched her small movements in full view, and for a moment, she picked up the wet veil that Xiao Changning had dropped earlier, wiped the slender knuckles slowly, and said, "I remember, the princess has never liked eunuchs?"

It's over, this is a precursor to calculating old accounts!

Sure enough, Shen Xuan threw the veil into the copper basin accurately and got up and approached Xiao Changning: "Say I am a sissy girl, eh?"

Duke Shen's must-have temperament is indeed well-deserved, and it has been six years since he remembered it so clearly that he didn't fall for a word!

"Shen, Shenxuan, what are you going to do?" Xiao Changning's teeth trembled, and the fringe on his forehead trembled fiercely with his body.

And over there, Shen Xuan curled up her mouth and looked at her: "Let the princess look at her tonight, the minister... mother or mother!"

Looking at the handsome man approaching step by step, Xiao Changning was tearful and trembling and said: "Don't come here, my palace orders you... to retreat and retreat!"

She was so nervous that her unsuspecting tongue even knotted, and a burning colic rose in her abdomen.

Xiao Changning strongly suppressed the retching, bending over to cover his abdomen. Shen Xuan also had a slight meal, her smile was reduced, her long eyebrows tucked up, and she said somewhat solemnly: "You can't drink on an empty stomach. It really hurts your stomach."

"Who knows if you poisoned me secretly." Xiao Changning's stomach was like a knife, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't help but sneered.

Shen Xuan did not expect that she looked delicate and weak, but her teeth were sharp and sharp, and she was not caring about her as a patient, and helped her on the couch.

Xiao Changning didn't want to be touched by the'sissy' and avoided him. Shen Xuan simply grabbed her slender wrist and pressed her semi-forcibly on the couch, then strode away, opening the door and said: " Come here."

Fang Wujing's enchanting voice sounded outside the door, and he held back a smile and said, "My lord, is this done quietly?"

Shen Xuan glanced coldly, Fang Wujing immediately silenced, bowed his head and stood by.

Only then did Shen Xuan say in a deep voice, "There is fresh chicken soup in the dining room, and it is warmed up."

Dongchang Fanzi has always been vigorous and vigorous, and within a quarter of an hour, the chicken soup in a crock came in.

Xiao Changning had already taken off the phoenix crown and washed the powder, and the hair on the temples was slightly damp, and he did not know whether it was soaked with washing water or cold sweat.

Shen Xuan closed the door, and Yu respectfully poured a bowl of hot chicken soup and handed it to Xiao Changning, still with two words like commands: "Drink."

The sick Xiao Changning didn't dare to be a demon, his body was too painful, and his mouth became honest. He obediently took over the birch bowl with chicken soup and took a few sips.

Shen Xuan sat opposite to watch Xiao Changning, her tall body almost shrouded her in her own shadow. Seeing that she was about to put the bowl, Shen Xuan was quite displeased, "Drink them all."

Xiao Changning had no choice but to endure the greasiness, took a few more sips, held the bowl and frowned and said, "I really can't drink it anymore."

However, the abdomen is warm, and it really doesn't hurt anymore.

"The wedding night is so uncomfortable, the eldest princess is probably the first one." Shen Xuan was disgusted, but she didn't mean anything.

Think about the time when Yu Guifei was alive, Xiao Changning was also regarded as a person of infinite beauty, just as when he and her first met, Wan Ziyanhong was not worthy of her being full of nobility. The poor child of the'eunuch' marriage. Thinking of this, she also understands her soft and thorny appearance.

Xiao Changning put the bowl, his eyes were slightly erratic, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Xuan took care of herself and undressed, "Go to bed, go to bed." Her tone was still cold, but she didn't face each other as before.

Xiao Changning looked at the only bed in the room and stood still.

I almost forgot, after all, this little princess is very tall, and she hates eunuchs the most, so how can she fall asleep with the "eunuchs"?

Shen Xuan looked at her coldly: "If your Royal Highness does not want to be honored and sleep with me, then she will be wronged to sleep on her feet."

There is a foot couch about three feet wide by the bed, covered with a soft Persian carpet. It was originally a place for the maids and maids to wait for the master to wake up at night, but there is no maidservant in the east factory, so this footbed is clean. Very, always empty.

Xiao Changning didn't even think about it, but really sat on the ottoman.

Shen Xuan's eyes sank, and she became angry. The sympathy that had just emerged was instantly thrown out of the sky.

With no expression on his face, he raised his arms and swung out the candlestick. The surroundings were plunged into darkness, only the melting moonlight pierced into the house, which was exceptionally deserted.

Without the bedding, Xiao Changning put the clothes on himself and lay on the ottoman.

She was used to sleeping on the golden bed. She slept on the footbed for the first time. She couldn't even turn over. She faintly felt wronged in her heart. She sucked her nose, and the tears almost fell. But to ask her to climb onto Shen Xuan's bed, she was absolutely reluctant and didn't dare.

The "lighting sky lantern" at the beginning was really scary. She seemed to be able to smell the burnt smell of human flesh that didn't exist in Shen Xuan's body... How could she dare to approach such a vicious person?

"The East Factory does not kill useless people, the eldest princess can rest assured."

There was a low voice from the embroidered mandarin duck bed, and Xiao Changning opened his eyes wide in the dark, almost thinking that he was hearing a hallucination.

She turned her ears aside for a long time, but Shen Xuan on the bed stopped speaking, so she fell into a quiet blackness again.

Later, Xiao Changning thought of it afterwards: What is meant by "not killing useless people"? Is this palace a useless person?

I don't know whether to be lucky or to be angry.

The first night of the wedding passed tremblingly. Xiao Changning didn’t know when he fell asleep. He only knew that when he woke up early the next morning, he had a soft and clean embroidered quilt on his body, and on the bed, Shen Xuan—she Her **** husband has disappeared.

The author has something to say: Changning: In the past, the princess was reduced to a foot-washing maid. Is this a loss of morality or a loss of humanity? !

Shen Xu (beating the bed): Stop doing it, come up and move by yourself.
