Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!

Chapter 6: Folded waist

Xiao Changning rushed back to the room and quickly closed the door, leaning back against the door and couldn't help breathing, his heart beating like a drum.

She had heard about it for a long time. At the beginning of each month, the East Factory would hold secret meetings. One was to exchange information, and the other was to determine the target of the next month, either to monitor someone, or to assassinate and spy, just like A group of beasts dormant in the dark will pounce on your throat at any time.

Xiao Changning feels that he has been really out of luck recently, and even catching a cat can bump into the conspiracy of the East Factory.

Xia Lu brought a pot of herbal tea and presented it, took out the veil and wiped the sweat on Xiao Changning, and said with concern: "His Royal Highness, why is your face so ugly? But you're bored?"

Xiao Changning lay down on the case, crying without tears, took two sips of herbal tea, and then slightly calmed down, "My palace...accidentally heard the secrets of Dongchang, and may be killed."

"Ah?!" Xia Lu exclaimed, stepped back and knelt down, crying, "His Royal Highness, what should we do then! Or, let's escape out!"

"Escape? There are dangers here and there are many fans. You and I are defenseless, where can you escape?" Xiao Changning sighed, "Don't cry, let this palace calm down for a while, think about it."

Chamber.

"Supervisor of the factory, since the princess of Changning has heard of the plan, can we discuss it separately?" The one who was speaking was a fat middle-aged eunuch, who was very charitable, and it was the one who created the colorless and tasteless new The White Tiger Chief of Poison and Medicine, whose surname is Wu Fu.

Shen Xuan opened her thin lips slightly, and uttered two words: "No need."

"Do you believe in her that way?" Fang Wujing turned the knife between his fingers and treated the sharp blade as a bronze mirror. After taking a look at his face from left to right, Fang laughed, "The queen mother must have put pressure on her and asked her to take it secretly. You are not afraid of her betraying you for your life? After all, there is no normal princess willing to marry someone like us."

"The subordinate understands the intention of the admiral." Wu Youfu twisted the light green pill at his fingertips and smiled, "If the princess is just a puppet at the mercy of others, and no resourcefulness, such a person is not to be afraid. ; If the eldest princess is a wise person, she would not put herself in danger for such a trivial matter."

After speaking, a bird flew down, taking Wu Youfu's shoulder as a resting place. But after a while, something awkward happened: Que'er, who was just jumping on his shoulder, suddenly opened its beak, screamed like a throat, flapped its wings and fell to the ground, floating several pieces of dryness. feather. The bird that fell on the ground curled its claws, struggled for a moment, and swallowed completely.

From beginning to end, no one looked at this dead bird more, as if the poisonous methods used against Wu Youfu had long been commonplace.

Shen Xuan was noncommittal, just pressing the double swords hanging from her waist, "Dongchang fights and kills all day long. It has been a long time since she had fun. It is also very interesting to raise her to make a fuss around her."

Fang Wujing laughed loudly, "The factory superintendent is seeking defeat by the lone lone, and begging to be in the arms of a beauty!"

Shen Xuan gave a cool glimpse.

Fang Wujing instantly reduced his smile: "Subordinates damn, subordinates shouldn't make fun of the factory superintendent!"

The tortoiseshell cat on the eaves couldn't get down, so it scratched on the roof in a hurry and made a'meow' cry, which caused the **** dog that Shen Xu to keep barking constantly.

"Her cat." Shen Xuan frowned, and then quickly let go, "You guys, return the cat to her."

"Okay! We Dongchang are the best at catching things!" Fang Wujing said, rolling up his sleeves, climbing up the beams and rafters in a few leaps, turning over and leaping onto the roof, and went to catch the cat.

Shen Xuan said to Wu Youfu again, "In the future, don't throw the poison everywhere. Beware of the ignorant girl picking it up, and she will die in vain."

Wu Youfu clasped his fists and smiled warmly: "Subordinates obey orders."

In the wing room.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant still wants to serve you for two more years, and also wants to live for two more days...oooo."

Xia Lu burst into tears, but Xiao Changning smiled instead.

"It's not necessarily going to be silenced. The palace was too nervous just now, just say it casually, don't take it seriously." After resting for half an hour, Xiao Changning had completely calmed down and analyzed, "Even though Dongchang acted fiercely, It's not reckless. Cai Feng, a military officer, is far behind me in terms of status and value. Shen Xuan will not break his contract for such a small person."

"Really?" Xia Lu let out a cry, skeptical.

"Really." Xiao Changning asked, feeling tired, "By the way, has the side room been cleaned up for this palace?"

"Cleaning up is done. It's too crude. It was originally a room for the servants and the light is not very good." Xia Lu wiped her tears and asked cautiously, "You really want to talk to Admiral Shen. Separated?"

"It's just a eunuch, and it's inhumane. I can't use my body for the left and right, so why bother to take it for yourself." Xiao Changning got up, rubbed the faintly aching calf, and said in a daze, "I was very tired after walking for a long time. I’m going to rest for a while, and both lunch and dinner are delivered to my room. If Shen Xuan is suspicious, you can say that I am unwell and cannot be accompanied."

Xia Lu graciously opened the bead curtain for her, and said, "Yes, the slaves and maids listen to you."

So, as soon as Shen Xuan returned to the small courtyard, she heard that Xiao Changning had moved to a small house where she lived.

"Would you like to catch your madam back to accompany you?" Lin Huan asked vaguely, standing outside the door, holding the crispy candy wrapped in oil paper, and eating it full of candy.

Shen Xuan held the teacup hand for a moment, and then sneered: "No. If she suffers from the bitterness, just let her go, don't make a big mess, it won't last a few days."

"What if Madam got into trouble?" Lin Huan smashed the candy in his mouth, making a creepy clicking sound, but his expression was innocent and innocent, "Can I deal with it according to military law?"

Shen Xuan didn't raise her eyes, "Xiao Linzi, you won't do anything except eat and kill?"

"I can still sleep." Lin Huan said without embarrassment.

Shen Xuan used her wrist to throw out the teacup as a hidden weapon, and took it straight to Lin Huan's front door.

Lin Huan turned back flexibly, avoided the hidden weapon, and steadily landed in front of the steps, but the crisp candy in his hand was not sprinkled at all.

Shen Xuan got up, pressed the two thin knives on her waist, and pointedly said: "It is said that farmers will put a weak lamb in the herd in order to appease the irritable herd. , To paralyze the fighting spirit of the bull. Xiaolinzi, don't you think that the princess Changning is the little lamb that got into the Dongchang factory?"

Lin Huan thought about it seriously, then licked the sugar powder on her finger, "I don't understand."

"Read more." Shen Xuan admonished.

Xiao Changning slept happily, until he was hungry and thirsty, and then languidly got up to eat.

After eating lunch in the room alone, Xiao Changning felt bored, so he started to clean up the dowry he had brought. Most of the items were packed up by the maidservant next to her, only a small red wooden box was still sealed, containing her most precious objects, and the maidservants did not dare to move privately.

Xiao Changning took the key to unlock, opened the box, and saw a few items neatly lined up inside: the jade butterfly and the emperor's handwritten edict that she enshrined the'Princess Changning', and a small pine-green sachet. The last thing the imperial concubine embroidered and left for her.

Xiao Changning put the sachet next to her body, then picked up the edict and unfolded it. The familiar handwriting of her father came into her eyes, making her eyes sore.

The first brushstroke clearly wrote a certain year, month and day, canonized her as Princess Changning, with a food of 300...Later, Yu Guifei died of illness, the first emperor mourned, and he also sealed Xiao Changning with a food of 300, ranking her among the princesses. Respect.

And now, she really became the eldest princess, the food is still six hundred, but the elegant and affectionate emperor will never sleep in the ground.

Xiao Changning's eyes were a little sour, put the edict away and closed the box.

In the afternoon, I had a leisurely and unbelievably peaceful half-day.

It's so calm, it's a bit abnormal... Xiao Changning was a little bit ominous, and sure enough, at the time of dinner, she patiently shot out.

Xiao Changning didn't want to go to the hall to have a meal with him, and Shen Xu actually ordered someone to withdraw her meal directly, and the huge kitchen did not even leave her a mouthful of hot porridge.

"My excellency said that since the eldest princess is willing to stay in this place, she doesn't treat herself as the hostess of the east factory. Naturally, the cost of food and clothing must be the same as that of the next person, and she needs to do it herself. ."

Hearing this, Xiao Changning was frustrated.

Cooking by yourself is impossible.

Needless to say, Xiao Changning, even these maidservants have been raised in the palace since they were young. They only waited for their masters to dress and freshen up. They never had to cook. The meals were all prepared in the imperial kitchen. Where would they be cooking?

There was ping-pong-pong-pong in the dining room, and the smoke was full of smoke, and there were miserable coughing sounds from time to time. And in the bedroom separated by the courtyard, the lights were warm and quiet, and Shen Xuan was half-scattered with long black hair, sitting at the desk in her cloak, with a sunspot between her slender fingers.

He dropped a black stone on the chessboard, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "At most, it will last until tomorrow."

Xiao Changning was hungry all night when the meal failed.

When I woke up the next morning, the four masters and servants were all stunned. You look at me and I look at you. Xiao Changning sighed: "No matter, the hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss! This palace has damaged Shen Xuan's face, so let's take a look. It's soft..."

So, Xiao Changning sang the "Empty City Plan" in his belly, drew a handful of sad tears, washed up sadly, slowly swallowed and dressed neatly, and finally took a deep breath, stepping on the cotton, and ate her food at Shenxuan. Move the hall...

Don't bend the waist for five buckets of rice?

That is what the saints do.
