Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Heartbroken, sisters become enemies

At night, the glazed room is full of water vapor. After sending out all the serving maids, Liuli leaned against the edge of the bathtub with her eyes closed, letting the warm water wrap her body gently, smelling the faint fragrance in the air, and sighing contentedly, all of this, Real and unreal.Unexpectedly, she was just a humble court lady who was expecting a sparrow to turn into a phoenix before, but in the blink of an eye, her dream really came true. Although all of this... was snatched from "her". Thinking of this, Liuli suddenly opened her eyes wide.Standing up from the water naked, he looked at the mirrors all around the room.

The lights were dim, dyeing her fair and youthful body like the finest mutton jade with a hazy halo.The smooth black hair, the slender neck, and the exquisite curves exude a charming charm everywhere. Stretching out two fingers, he gently picked up a petal stuck to his chest, and slowly crushed it into crumbs. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled confidently at the shadow in the mirror. Perhaps because of the light, that originally bright and pretty smile turned out to be a bit ferocious. "No matter what happened at the beginning, all of this is already mine, and no one can take it away. No matter how hard it is, I will learn the rules well. I will no longer be a court lady, and I will not be abandoned by others..."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a young eunuch slipped in silently.After closing and locking the door, he headed straight for the tub with his head down. Liuli was startled, quickly sank into the water, and said angrily to the sneaky eunuch, "Who are you? Didn't I tell no one to come in?" Seeing Liuli scolding, the little eunuch quickened his steps, rushed to the tub and grabbed Liuli's shoulder.Liuli was terrified, and when she was about to call for help, a big hand had already firmly covered her mouth. "Miss Liuli, don't be afraid, I'm here to serve you."

Liuli would never forget this voice even in her dreams.It was this voice that made a vow of eternal love all night among the pavilions and waterside pavilions in the imperial garden.It was the same voice that stabbed her all over behind the rockery in the imperial garden, making her finally determined to take away everything that should belong to Chen Xiang. "It's you!" Liuli violently broke free from the hand that imprisoned her, and stared at him with wide eyes: "What are you doing here?" "I miss you, so let's take a look." The little eunuch took off his hat, revealing Yinzhen's charming smiling face.

Liuli couldn't be coaxed by such rhetoric anymore, she snorted and mocked: "A dignified prince pretends to be a eunuch and comes in to watch a woman take a bath. If it spreads out, isn't he afraid of laughing his teeth out?" Yinzhen smiled slightly, not caring about Liuli's ridicule and indifference.Putting his hands on the edge of the bathtub, his eyes wandered unscrupulously around her body, and he said with a smile: "I haven't seen anything on you, do you still need to peek?" "You..." Liuli was at a loss for words, a little worried that it would not end well if Yinzhen was annoyed, so she took a deep breath, and when she spoke again, her brows were a little more helpless and pitiful. "I'm just a woman who was abandoned by you, so I can't give you a way out?"

Seeing that Liuli's tone softened, the smile on Yinzhen's lips became even more charming: "At first I thought you were just an ordinary woman, just playing with it casually. But these days I don't know why I keep thinking of you, and I always feel that you are Holding something, you say, could this be love?" If it were Liuli at that time, she would definitely be overjoyed because of this sentence.It's a pity that today is not what it used to be, and now she no longer has the original state of mind.With the same charming smile, Liuli whispered close to Yinzhen's breath: "It's too late, I'm now the thirteenth elder brother."

With a flash of light in Yinzhen's eyes, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist.Liuli struggled to push it away, but was hugged even tighter by his hands. Ignoring Liuli's refusal, Yinzhen put his lips next to her ear and smiled lightly: "Brother Thirteen is just Brother Thirteen, not the Emperor. When the Emperor dies in the future, he will be an ordinary prince..." "Aren't you too?" Liuli sneered, turning her head to avoid his breath. Anticipating Liuli's reaction a long time ago, Yinzhen let go of his hand, took out a token from his bosom and handed it to her.

Liuli took it and glanced at it. "what is this?" "Soldier Talisman, can move the world's soldiers and horses!" Seeing Liuli stunned, Yinzhen smiled coldly, took the Soldier Talisman from her hand and put it back into her bosom, stuck out her tongue and licked her face, and said with a proud smile: "I I know you have me in your heart, otherwise your body wouldn't be so hot!" "You're talking nonsense." Liuli retorted coldly, got up to avoid Yinzhen's lips approaching again, grabbed the clothes and wrapped them around her body. Not giving Liuli a chance to escape, Yinzhen pounced on her and held her between his arms, lowered his head and locked her eyes while the iron was hot: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, even if Thirteen treats you well, it's just a decoration." , just now I saw him cuddling with a court lady, how can I be so devoted to you like me?"

"Lady?" Liuli was startled. "What does it look like?" "The eyes are big, and the smile is very sweet." Yinzhen roughly described it. A figure immediately appeared in Liuli's mind. Agarwood? "You should know that to survive in the harem, it's always better to have another way." Yinzhen took advantage of Liuli's daze and kissed her suddenly, Liuli struggled for a while and stopped moving, and the two entangled and fell on the bed... … Tonight is the fifteenth day, and the full moon like a silver plate hangs high in the sky, shedding silver light without hesitation, covering the lovesick people in the world.

After serving Yinxiang to take a bath and change clothes, the maids and eunuchs exited the room as usual.The empty room was immediately filled with silence. Yinxiang got up and went to the bookshelf and took out a book, flipped through a few pages absently, and then put it down casually.He strode to the bed and fell heavily, closing his eyes and saw that sweet and clean face. "Girls are reserved on the surface, but in fact they are all burning with fire in their hearts. They all long for someone to hurt and love. When standing alone in the wind, there are a pair of big hands that tightly surround her..."

"Look at her affectionately and tell her how much you like her..." The ethereal and sad voice echoed in his ears again and again, making Yinxiang more and more disturbed.After tossing and turning for a long time, he turned over suddenly and sat up, strode to the desk and sat down. The moonlight scattered on the case through the window lattice, softly stroking the handkerchief and earrings hanging above.Yin Xiang stared at him bewilderedly, with a guilty expression on his face. Concubine Min's departure made his childhood incomplete, and he was extremely disgusted by the open and secret struggles among the concubines in the harem.It wasn't until Kangxi handed him over to Concubine De to be raised that he gradually eased his grief of losing his mother, but since then he became resistant to emotional matters and closed his heartstrings until... in Yanxi Palace for the first time... Met a little her. That cold winter night warmed his lonely heart.It's a pity that because of a small negligence, he passed her by.Seven years later, by mistake, he met her again in Yanxi Palace.Seeing her trying so hard to keep the butterfly for him, his heartstrings that had been dusty for a long time suddenly trembled.When he knew that she was the little maid looking for plums in white, he made up his mind to keep her, and would not let her slip away like seven years ago.It is not so much love at first sight as it is for a sustenance.He pinned all his happiness and hopes on her.In exchange, he secretly vowed that he would treat her well for the rest of his life, in this life, as long as she was alone... But what he didn't even think of was that after more than a month, he actually had a good impression of another woman, and even almost acted out of courtesy.How could he become so frivolous when he was so rigid and self-disciplined?How could he live up to his promise to Liuli?His oath is so vulnerable? "Alas..." With a soft sigh, Yinxiang carefully picked up the earrings and stuck them to his chest, secretly making up his mind: he is going to see Liuli, even if it doesn't make sense, he will go! "Thirteen's vision is really good. You have done so well in just a few days." With a smile on her face, Concubine De looked at Liuli and nodded with satisfaction. "I heard from them that you practice until late every day, so you should pay attention to your body." "Concubine Xie De is concerned, Liuli will pay attention." Liuli pursed her lips and chuckled, while carefully supporting Concubine De to walk, she responded softly, although on the surface she was shy and humble, but in her heart she was full of pride. The thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang was brought up by the concubine De concubine since he was a child. Although he is not his own mother and child, his feelings are there. This can be seen from the concubine De concubine calling her to accompany her when she is free.As long as she behaves well, it will be difficult not to be favored.In case something goes wrong here for Yinxiang, there will be Yinzhen behind her to support her, wealth and glory are all in her palm. Thinking of the lingering scene with Yinzhen last night, Liuli had mixed feelings.Although she hated Yinzhen for being ruthless and ruthless, but he was the first man in her life after all.After a night of happiness, her hatred for him has decreased a lot, not to mention what Yinzhen said is right, it is always right to have an extra path in the harem.As for how to choose in the future, just take one step at a time. "See Empress Concubine De." Liuli was lost in thought when suddenly a voice of greeting came from ahead.Looking closely, it turned out to be Yinxiang.Although he was greeting Concubine De, his bright black eyes were fixed on her face as if there was nothing there. "Get up." Empress Defei smiled and said: "You can bump into each other even if you come to the garden, you are really destined. I happen to be a little tired, so I will go back and rest first. You two can talk here. , just don’t take too long.” "Concubine Xie Defei." Yinxiang was going to look for Concubine De today, begging her to allow him to meet Liu Li, but unfortunately he went late and did not see Concubine De.Depressed in my heart, I wanted to take a stroll in the imperial garden, but I didn't want to miss it, and saw Liuli walking towards Concubine De supporting her. Respectfully sending Concubine De away, looking at Yinxiang's handsome face, Liuli lowered her head in panic.When her mind was full of thoughts about another man, she suddenly met her prospective husband. No matter how scheming Liu Li was, she couldn't help but feel guilty and her face burned.It's just that in Yin Xiang's eyes, she just thinks that she is shy and embarrassed to see him. "Liuli, I..." Yinxiang stepped forward to say hello, but after opening his mouth, he didn't know what to say, paused, and changed the subject: "You...how are you doing recently?" "Thank you Shisan for your concern, Liuli is doing well." Apart from the last time, this is the first time Liuli has formally spoken to Yinxiang.She didn't know what Chen Xiang said to him that night, which made this arrogant Thirteenth Master fall in love with him so much.Worried that she would lose her words if she said too much, she didn't dare to say a word. Seeing Liuli's unhappy look with her head down, Yinxiang was a little at a loss. "I went to Chengde with Huang Ama a few days ago, and I just came back yesterday, so I haven't seen you all the time. Are you... are you angry with me?" "Brother Thirteen is a business to share the emperor's worries, how could I be angry?" Liu Li still lowered her head, putting on a gentle and cowardly look. "Oh, that's good." Yinxiang breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what to say for a while.Naturally, Liuli would not take the initiative to speak, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. "Girls are reserved on the surface, but in fact they are all burning with fire in their hearts. They all long for someone to hurt and love. When standing alone in the wind, there are a pair of big hands that tightly surround her..." "Look at her affectionately and tell her how much you like her..." Yin Xiang was racking his brains to find a topic, when he suddenly remembered what Chen Xiang said yesterday.With a heartbeat, he walked up to Liuli, slowly stretched out his hands to surround her, lowered his head, looked at her bright and pretty face, took a deep breath to build up his emotions, and said slowly: "Liuli, I..." Unexpectedly, Yinxiang would do such a thing, Liuli was taken aback for a moment, and then raised her head involuntarily.Seeing his handsome face so close at hand, I couldn't help but blushed, and the fire in my heart also ignited: "Brother Thirteen..." "Liuli, I..." Seeing Liuli finally looked up at him, Yinxiang became more and more excited.It's just "I" for a long time, but the three words "I like you" can't be said anyway.After watching for a long time, Liuli's face gradually began to blur, replaced by Chen Xiang's face full of tears. Yinxiang was startled suddenly, and immediately pushed the person in his arms out.After seeing Liuli's astonished and wronged face.That's when I realized what I had done. "I'm sorry Liuli, I... shouldn't be rude to you." After calming down, Yinxiang found an excuse to cover up his gaffe just now, and said without words: "By the way, didn't you tell me about it that night? , Did you drop an earring in Yanxi Palace when you were a child?" "Ah? Oh, it's... I said it." Yinxiang's words were casual, but Liuli, who was guilty of treachery, was shocked into a cold sweat. "That's the earring my mother-in-law gave me before entering the palace, she said it was to keep me safe." "I picked up that earring, and I'll bring it back to you tomorrow." After finally thinking of a common topic, Yinxiang looked at Liuli and smiled, "Why did you..." "Brother Thirteen, it's getting late, if you continue talking, others should gossip." Liuli hurriedly interrupted the topic without waiting for Yinxiang to finish speaking.She had heard Chen Xiang talk about the earrings, but Chen Xiang never mentioned what happened that night, so she naturally had no face to ask.What's more, even if she had the cheek to ask, if Chen Xiang told a lie, wouldn't she be self-defeating? So now when she heard Yinxiang mention that night, she felt guilty, she declined Yinxiang's proposal to send her back, and then left quickly. Yinxiang had no choice but to let it go.Looking at the back of Liuli leaving, he sighed deeply. "What's the matter, Thirteenth Brother, you're here moaning and sighing early in the morning?" Yinzhen passed by with his guards, and seeing Yinxiang's frowning look, he stopped and asked with concern. Yinxiang's head was full of confusion, when he saw Yinzhen, it was as if he saw a savior: "Fourth brother, you came just in time, come and help me with an idea." Seeing that Yinxiang was so anxious, Yinzhen was also startled, thinking that it was Yinzhen and his gang who had caused some trouble again.After hearing what happened, I couldn't laugh or cry. "It turns out that you are so anxious, but it's only because of two women?" "Yes." Yinxiang also blushed a little, "I've clearly identified Liuli, but after only a few days, I have a crush on another girl. I'm so indifferent to Liuli, I really feel sorry for Liuli." "Then what's the matter, your dignified elder brother has already reached the age of marrying a wife, so whoever you like will take it, what's there to embarrass?" Yinzhen laughed.My younger brother is excellent no matter in literary or martial arts, but this emotional matter is always a muscle.As the elder brother, I had to worry more about him. "Tell fourth brother, what's the name of that court lady?" "Her name is Chen Xiang." Agarwood? ! When these two words came out of Yinxiang's mouth, they immediately weighed a thousand catties, and Yinzhen was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "Chenxiang?" "Well, she is Liuli's personal maid and her good sister." Seeing Yinzhen's appearance, Yinxiang hurriedly dissuaded him: "Fourth brother, please don't tell the concubine Defei that since I already have Liuli, I should Treat her wholeheartedly. As for Chen Xiang, it's probably just a momentary illusion that I love my house." "...That's fine, just think it over carefully before you talk." A pair of pure eyes flashed in his mind, Yin Zhen nodded and walked away. Liuli left the imperial garden as if fleeing, originally thought of going back, but suddenly changed her mind halfway, turned around and went straight to Tongpu. When she went to greet Concubine De this morning, she made an excuse to let Chen Xiang stay in the bunk room to rest.It seems that sisters love Chen Xiang deeply, but in fact there are other reasons. That time Chen Xiang helped her out in front of Concubine De and all the concubines, she was really grateful at that time, but after thinking about it, she felt that Chen Xiang did this just to stand out in front of everyone and take the opportunity to show her cleverness Just wit.So the next few times, she intentionally prevented Chen Xiang from appearing in front of Concubine De.Especially after hearing Yinzhen's words last night, although she was not sure that the maid he was talking about was Chen Xiang, she was a little more wary of Chen Xiang. The reason why she came to Tongpu was because she was going to discuss with Chen Xiang for the remaining earring.Yesterday, when Yinxiang suddenly mentioned this matter, she became more careful.What happened that night, she can excuse that it has been a long time, and she forgot, as long as there is the remaining earring, Yinxiang will not doubt anything.If it stays in Chen Xiang's hands, it will be a trouble sooner or later, Liuli was walking and thinking about how to get the remaining earring from Chen Xiang's hand, when suddenly she heard someone whispering in the corner.Originally, he ignored it, but when he heard that one of them was Chen Xiang's voice, he rolled his eyes and leaned towards it lightly. "Chen Xiang, did I cause trouble for you when I talked to you in the Imperial Garden that day?" Since we separated that day, Cang Qi has been restless, worried that Chen Xiang will be implicated.Today I finally met her, and I hurriedly looked her up and down. Although I saw that there was nothing unusual about her, I still couldn't help but asked worriedly. Knowing what Cang Qi was worried about, Chen Xiang smiled and shook his head. "No, don't worry." "In this way, I can feel at ease." Seeing that Chen Xiang is really fine, Cang Qi's tense face softened.After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help but open his mouth: "Chen Xiang, you and the fourth elder brother... seem to have a good relationship?" Unexpectedly Cang Qi would ask such a question, Chen Xiang coughed and waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't talk nonsense, what's the matter? It was just a coincidence that time, he asked me a few words." Cang Qi was dubious, and didn't want to say anything more, so he gave a few more words of advice and left. Liuli hid behind the pillar, and only came out after the two of them left. This conversation made her quite surprised. She thought that Chen Xiang was just infatuated with Yin Xiang, but she didn't expect that she, who seems gentle and demure, has so many tricks.I don't know when he hooked up with a guard, but it sounds like he has something to do with Yinzhen.If Chen Xiang succeeds, there is no guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to take revenge on her.When the time comes, won't all the things she has worked so hard to obtain be in vain? The more she thought about it, the more likely it was, Liuli narrowed her eyes slowly. Such a curse cannot be left behind... Chen Xiang is completely unaware of Liuli's thoughts.She still serves wholeheartedly every day, keeping Liuli's life in order.In order to prevent Chen Xiang from being suspicious, Liu Li always greeted Chen Xiang with a smile and greeted him with care. Regarding Liuli's sudden change of attitude, Chen Xiang didn't have any doubts.She only thought that she was too tired a few days ago, so she was inevitably a little angry, but she gradually got used to it these days, so she just recovered. The two sisters talked and laughed, and fell asleep, as if they had returned to the time when we shared joys and sorrows.Chen Xiang also tried her best to convince herself that she would completely bury her feelings for Yinxiang in her heart, and live alone forever. The days went by like this "carefree" day by day, until a thunderstorm night came. This morning, the sky was gloomy and gloomy.The damp breath permeated the air, piled up with the last heat of midsummer, making people feel oppressed and breathless.It was not long before You Hour passed, and as a bolt of lightning pierced through the dark sky, the dark clouds entrenched over the capital roared with thunder and poured down the torrential rain.The sky and the ground were misty, and the day turned into night in an instant. Such bad weather is naturally not suitable for going out.So after learning the routine etiquette, Liu Li pulled Chen Xiang to lean on the couch, chatting casually. While talking, a palace lady suddenly came in from outside the door.Even though I was holding an oiled paper umbrella, I was still drenched from head to toe.After saluting and saying hello, he handed over a food box tightly wrapped in oilcloth, saying that Empress Defei sent it for Miss Liuli to taste. Liuli was overwhelmed by the flattery, she got up to pick it up herself, and settled for the maid to change her clothes, sit down to keep warm and rest. Originally, they both worked in Qianxi No. 4 Institute, and they were familiar with each other, so the maid stopped being polite, and after changing into the clothes Chen Xiang brought, she sat on the footrest and chatted with Liuli to relieve her boredom. After saying a few broken words, the maid looked at Liuli and sighed enviously: "Human life is really different. Our sisters entered the palace at the same time and suffered for so many years. In the end, Miss Liuli's life is the best. The third elder brother favored me, and finally left the sea of ​​suffering and stepped into the nest of happiness. It’s not like us, if you say a word wrong, you will suffer. Like that Chunshou, it’s an example.” "Chunshou? What's the matter with him?" Chen Xiang walked in with a teacup, just in time to hear the maid mentioning Chunshou, and asked hurriedly. "When I brought the snacks over just now, I saw Chunshou kneeling at the Shunzhen Gate, shivering like a drenched chicken. Looking at the situation, I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night in the rain." The maid explained. Liuli heard this, and sighed: "Oh, such heavy rain is really enough for him." After the two casually talked about it, they stopped bringing up the topic. After all, in this Forbidden City, it is very normal for a small eunuch to be punished.Chen Xiang stood aside, staring at the violent storm outside in a daze. After sitting for a while, the maid saw that it was not early, so she got up to take her leave and leave.Liu Li ordered Chen Xiang to take the reward silver and send her away, while she covered her lips and yawned, took a shower, changed clothes and fell asleep. Chen Xiang was lying in the room, listening to the thunder outside, tossing and turning, she couldn't sleep well.Seeing that Xu time had passed, the rain not only didn't stop, but it got bigger and bigger.Chen Xiang finally lost his composure, got up secretly, took an oil-paper umbrella and slipped out. After going out, the power of the wind and rain became even more astonishing.In the rain curtain hanging upside down in the Tianhe River, the magnificent hall is looming.The gust of wind and the torrential rain hit the umbrella heavily, tearing Chen Xiang staggeringly.I haven't walked far, and there is no dry place on my body. Raising his hand to wipe away the rainwater from his eyes, Chen Xiang simply put away the oiled paper umbrella, and walked forward gropingly.Fortunately, the Shunzhen Gate is not too far away, and after about a minute of walking, it's time for tea. The lightning was still raging, criss-crossing and splitting the dark sky, and it was fleeting, but it was just for Chen Xiang to take the opportunity to see the scene in front of him clearly. Outside Shunzhen's gate, it was empty.Chen Xiang searched back and forth for a long time, but couldn't see Chunshou at all.Feeling a little relieved, the master must have calmed down and asked him to go back to rest.Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a figure walking quickly in front of him.Only when he got closer did he realize that it was Cang Qi! "Cang Qi? Why did you come here?" "Chen Xiang." Cang Qi quickly walked a few steps to Chen Xiang's side, took off the oilcloth on her body and covered her.Looking at her bloodless face washed by the rain, her eyes were full of distress. "Does it matter?" "What are you doing here?" Chen Xiang asked with a trembling voice, half cold, half shocked.In this kind of weather, in this kind of place, she would meet Cang Qi unexpectedly, and seeing him, he was not surprised to see her.It's not so much a coincidence as it is... a conspiracy! "Someone came to me secretly and said that you were punished and kneeled here at the Shunzhen Gate. I was worried about you, so I took a look at it while no one was coming." Cang Qi explained.Concerned about Chen Xiang, he never thought why a little eunuch would know his concern for Chen Xiang, and braved the heavy rain to come and tell him. "Boom!" The dazzling lightning flashed, and there was another thunderclap.Chen Xiang's face turned pale in an instant, and he almost fell down after shaking.She is now sure that all of this was designed by someone, but she doesn't know their goal, is it her or him? ! The heavy rain mixed with thunder, isolated Chen Xiang's frightened expression.Seeing her slender figure trembling in the rain, Cang Qi didn't care about anything else, he took two steps forward and wrapped her in his arms to give her warmth, but she pushed her away with all her strength. "This is a trap, go away!" Confused by Chen Xiang's attitude, Cang Qi was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized.Without saying a word, he turned around and ran, but it was too late. More than ten figures suddenly appeared from all around, surrounding Chen Xiang and Cang Qi in the middle.An old eunuch walked up to Chen Xiang with a strange smile, with a shrill voice like a drake: "Some people say that there are court ladies in the Forbidden City who don't obey the rules and seduce the guards to do despicable things in the harem. I didn't believe it at first, I didn't expect to catch a pair of wild mandarin ducks after guarding for midnight today. Let's go, go to the master with me and explain clearly, and then we can deal with it." Chen Xiang's face was pale, and he no longer had the strength to argue.Since it was designed by others, it is useless to say more.This time, she and Cang Qi must be in danger! "Eunuch, this is all a mistake..." Cang Qi stood up and stood in front of Chen Xiang, and was about to explain, when a young eunuch behind him held a wooden stick and beat Chen Xiang.Fortunately, Cang Qi was agile, he dodged and staggered, grabbed the stick, and kicked the little eunuch aside. Seeing that Cang Qi dared to resist, the old eunuch immediately became furious: "Little bastard, you can't do it wrong? Someone, hit me!" The eunuchs responded in unison, raising their sticks one after another.A team of guards rushed over when they heard the movement, and the two teams joined forces and rushed towards Chen Xiang. No matter how powerful Cang Qi is in martial arts, he can't help but besieged by so many people.What's more, Chen Xiang was still protecting Chen Xiang, after several rounds, his body was already covered with scars.The blood mixed with the rain fell on the ground, and was washed away in an instant. "Don't hit, don't hit—" Chen Xiang shouted hoarsely, when he saw a guard raising his knife while he was unprepared, he immediately rushed forward and hugged him, but he was thrown aside violently .Seeing this, several eunuchs rushed up and pinned her tightly with all their hands. "Chen Xiang—" Seeing Chen Xiang being pressed into the muddy water, Cang Qi's eyes were about to burst, and he jumped over regardless of the opening behind him.A guard seized the opportunity and kicked him in the back.Cang Qi was already at the end of his strength, this kick immediately made him lie on the ground, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood. Seeing that Cang Qi struggled a few times and couldn't get up, the old eunuch walked over with confidence, raised his foot and stomped on his face several times, and said with a sneer, "I don't know how high the sky is, you bastard, I'll make you feel better later." Yes. Take it away!" "What happened?" In the dark rain, a figure walked out slowly.Tall and tall, elegant and noble.Seeing Chen Xiang who was pressed to the ground and covered in mud, his brows immediately frowned. All the people present heard the reputation, and when they saw the face of the visitor, they all knelt down and said in unison: "See Si elder brother——" Ignoring the guards and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, Yinzhen walked straight to Chen Xiang.Seeing this, the eunuch who was holding her hurriedly let go, knelt and took two steps back. Yinzhen slowly bent down and squatted in front of Chen Xiang.Seeing her originally bright and pure eyes filled with fear and despair, his heart suddenly tightened, as if he had been thumped hard. Looking across the oil-paper umbrella that was trampled to pieces on the ground, Yinzhen's deep voice was extremely clear amidst the sound of rain: "I just asked you to help me get an umbrella, why haven't you come back for so long?" There was another thunderclap, but this time, the old eunuch turned pale from fright.Seeing that Yinzhen didn't care about the mud and dirt, and personally reached out to lift Chen Xiang up, the old eunuch's cold sweat broke out immediately, and the rainwater flowed from the top of his head to his feet. What's going on here... What's going on?Did he... make a mistake? Being held by Yinzhen's warm hand on the shoulder, Chen Xiang stood up in a daze.Seeing the concern in those black eyes that were close at hand, she felt that Yinzhen was not so scary for the first time. "I asked you to fetch the umbrella for me, how could I be in such a mess?" Facing Chen Xiang's frightened deer-like appearance, Yinzhen's voice became more gentle.Raising his hand, he pushed the hair behind her ears behind her eyes, and nodded to her suggestively. Yinzhen's voice was magnetic and gentle, and the warmth passed through his palm to Chen Xiang's body, immediately calming her flustered emotions. Hearing the reminder in Yinzhen's words, Chen Xiang's heart moved, and she raised her eyes tremblingly to look into his eyes.Seeing him blinking his eyes affirmatively, it was like waking up from a dream. "Slave...The servant took the umbrella...was worried about the rain and delayed the time...I happened to meet this guard, so I wanted to...entrust him to send it to the fourth elder brother, but I didn't expect..." When Chen Xiang said this, she turned to look at Cang Qi.Seeing him hanging his head and not moving, he couldn't hold back and wept bitterly: "I beg the fourth elder brother to save his life, and all the culprits are willing to be borne by one servant!" Seeing Chen Xiang crying hoarsely, Yinzhen's black eyes were turbulent, he raised his hand slightly, the follower behind got the order, immediately stepped forward to take Cang Qi from the guard, and carried him away quickly. "Fourth...fourth brother, this...this is all a misunderstanding, the slave originally wanted to catch traitors...unexpectedly..." The old eunuch shivered and crawled to Yinzhen's feet, stammering and trying to explain, when he listened When he said coldly: "It's none of your business, you all go back. Remember, let's forget about tonight's affairs. If I hear any gossip in the future, none of you will live." "Yes, yes, the slave will leave." Almost frozen by the icy voice, the kneeling people staggered to their feet, and scrambled away. Watching Cang Qi being carried away, Chen Xiang's tense nerves relaxed a little.Struggling to get away from Yinzhen's support, he wanted to kneel down to thank En, but found that he could no longer exert any strength in his whole body.Her body softened and she almost fell down, but fortunately Yinzhen's eyesight was sharp and her hands quickly brought her into his arms again. "Don't be brave." This time, Chen Xiang did not resist.Lying softly in Yinzhen's arms, her breathing was shallow and rapid. "Chenxiang, Chenxiang?"
