Naturally, it was impossible for Bo Yunxiu to come again, it was just to frighten her.
Xiao Nizi was also easy to bully, she was stunned for a while, the pain made her dare not act rashly, she could only obediently lay in his arms.
"Don't cry." Bo Yunxiu raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It won't hurt anymore."
Xia Wenxi's eyes were red, "You are not a good person!"
Bo Yunxiu took a slap in the face, taking advantage of others' danger is indeed not a good person, but...
"Since you know that I'm not a good person, you must listen to me from now on." Bo Yunxiu's voice was cold, the blush at the corners of his eyes gradually dissipated, and the original coldness returned to his face, "Let's keep this matter a secret for now, don't tell outsiders, After I go back, I will prepare to propose marriage to your father some other day, remember?"
Xia Wenxi's eyes froze, remembering what his father said.
"My father said that he wants to marry me off." She pursed her lips tightly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you."
Bo Yunxiu was startled, "He dares!"
"I was born by my father, and not by you, why didn't he dare?" She tried to push him away, but after pushing him twice, he didn't move at all.
The palm fell on his heart, it was frighteningly hot.
Quickly withdrew his hand, Xia Wenxi frowned slightly, "Why are you so strong? Let go, I'm going home."
"Wait." Bo Yunxiu stood up first.
When he sat up, Xia Wenxi's eyes widened, watching him put the clothes on his body one by one, and finally returned to his original graceful state.
"Have you seen enough?" Bo Yunxiu's face turned slightly cold, "Does it look good?"
Xia Wenxi's face turned red instantly, she quickly turned her back, and buried herself with the quilt.
Standing by the bed, he could clearly see her plain white shoulders and the red marks on the side of her neck. The corners of his lips curved unconsciously, and he turned and walked towards the door.
Xia Wenxi didn't dare to move, she kept listening to the weak movements, and wanted to wait for him to leave before putting on her clothes.
Unexpectedly, he didn't hear him go out for a long time, but heard him coming back instead.
It seems that there is still the sound of water
A corner of the quilt was lifted, Xia Wenxi was startled, turned around quickly, clutching the quilt tightly, "What are you doing?"
"You sweated after drinking, if you don't wipe it off, you will smell like alcohol when you go back." Bao Yunxiu twisted the veil, "Do you want to be beaten by your father?"
Xia Wenxi bit her lip, "I'll do it myself."
Throwing away the handkerchief, Bo Yunxiu began to take off his clothes.
"You, what are you doing?" Xia asked Xi anxiously.
"Since you don't want to wash, I'll..."
"I'll wash it! I'll be good." Xia Wenxi lay down immediately, motionless. Her cheeks were flushed, obviously extremely shy, she closed her eyes tightly, and her long eyelashes covered her lower eyelids, as if as long as she closed her eyes, nothing would happen.
Bo Yunxiu wiped it carefully.
"Chi..." She gasped suddenly.
Bo Yunxiu withdrew her hand abruptly, "It still hurts?"
"No, it doesn't hurt." Xia Wenxi blushed, "You, take it easy."
Bo Yunxiu nodded, looking at the mottled blood on the mattress, she felt a little flustered, don't you really hurt her
"If the pain is severe after you go back, you don't have to hide it!" Bao Yunxiu reminded.
She opened her eyes and looked at him, "Didn't you say to keep it secret for now?"
"Yeah!" He responded, "But if it's uncomfortable... the body is important."
"Okay!" The little girl didn't dare to struggle, her voice trembled uncontrollably, "I'm drunk..."
"Hmm!" Bo Yunxiu finally put down her veil, seeming to have guessed what she wanted to say, "My surname is Bo, and my name is Bo Yunxiu. I am the second son of the emperor. I live in the palace, but I also have a mansion outside the palace. You If there is anything, you can ask someone to come to the palace to find me."
Xia Wenxi sat up instantly, staring at him incredulously, "You, what do you say is your name?"
"Can't you remember?" He frowned, with a clear displeasure on his face.
"Bo Yunxiu!" she called out in a low voice.
Bo Yunxiu narrowed her eyes, "Don't call my name in front of people from now on."
Shut the door and shout all you want.
After all, it is the prince's name, who would dare to call him by his first name? This is taboo!
If her father found out, Bo Yunxiu would not be able to protect her. The light in Xia Wenxi's eyes dimmed a little, "Got it."
"Can I dress myself?" Bo Yunxiu asked.
She nodded, "Yes."
Watching Bao Yunxiu go out, Xia Wenxi quickly put on her clothes, but when she landed, she didn't have any strength in her legs, and she almost collapsed on the ground. The two battles are like enlarged bones, the pain of cracking bones... It really can't be described in words.
When she opened the door, she saw Bo Yunxiu again.
"I'll take you back..."
"I'm going to Zhencui Pavilion!" Xia Wenxi's complexion was pale, and she gradually got used to the pain, so she just walked, "My brother may be waiting for me there."
Bo Yunxiu didn't stop her, but followed her from a distance.
He watched her walk into Zhen Cui Pavilion slowly, the jade around her waist swayed gently with her steps, like immature jujubes on the branches, so green and lovely.
"Young master is back?" The man went up to meet him.
Xia Wenxi turned pale, "Has Young Master Xia come back?"
The man shook his head, "Not yet."
"Oh, I'll continue to wait!" Xia Wenxi slowly went upstairs, sat in the accordion, turned her head to look out the window, and she saw Bao Yunxiu across the street.
This man has a good skin, even if he is standing in the crowd in plain clothes, his light is still hard to hide, enough for people to see him at first sight.
When Xia Wenqing came back, Xia Wenxi had already fallen asleep leaning against the window.
"Little sister?" Xia Wenqing was stunned.
"Brother..." Xia Wenxi raised her eyelids, "I'm so tired and sleepy, I want to go home!"
Xia Wenqing nodded, "Let's go, brother will take you home."
"Brother, can you carry me on your back?" Xia Wenxi closed her eyes, "I want to sleep."
Looking at Xia Wenxi's extremely tired look, Xia Wenqing couldn't care less about anything else, "Come on, brother will carry you home."
"Brother!" Xia Wenxi leaned on his elder brother's back, "You are so kind to me, I don't want to leave you guys!"
"Silly girl!" Xia Wenqing smiled. Fortunately, it was already dark and the street was dark, so no one could see who was clear. When you get married in the future, your brother will still be your brother, and you will still be my favorite little sister, but you can't marry your husband and deny your brother."
Xia Wenxi smiled, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
It wasn't until the siblings arrived home safely that Bo Yunxiu raised his eyebrows and turned back to the palace.
"My lord, it's getting so late, the emperor said that he will play chess with you tonight, look..." The servants were worried.
If the emperor found out that the second prince hadn't returned to the palace so late, he might be furious.
Bao Yunxiu didn't say anything, it was too late, how could he let go if he didn't see her enter the house
It stands to reason that at his age, the prince would have left the palace long ago and lived in his own mansion, like Bo Yunchong, like Bo Yunyu. Only the prince born to the queen can live in the East Palace.
In the sleeping hall, the emperor's face was as black as ink.
Everyone knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to vent their anger.
When Bo Yunxiu came in, the emperor happened to throw out the cup in his hand, and there was a thumping sound, and the servants were scared out of their wits.
"Father!" Bo Yunxiu saluted.
"Why did you come back so late?" The emperor was old and full of hair, not as handsome as he was in the past. The current emperor is becoming more and more unreasonable, and his temper is getting bigger and bigger, "What did you do?"
Bo Yunxiu looked around, "Father, will you let them go down?"
"The serving is not good, it should be cut!" The emperor gritted his teeth.
There were exclamations from below, "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor calms down!"
"I have important matters." Bo Yunxiu took a deep breath, "I want to get married."
The surroundings were suddenly so quiet that a needle could be heard.
The emperor let go of his hand, and the chess piece rolled to the ground with a click, "Get out of here!"
As if released, the slaves fled out of the sleeping hall as if fleeing for their lives.
"Come here!" The emperor said with a dark face, "Speak clearly!"
Bo Yunxiu stepped forward, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "I want to marry someone."
The emperor's heart was shocked, and he looked at him with strange eyes. Gradually, the emperor seemed to realize something, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, "In a blink of an eye, it's so big? I forgot, you also When it's time to get married, it's time..."
"Father?" Bo Yunxiu looked indifferent, "I am serious, I will only marry wives in this life, not concubines."
The emperor's eyes were red, "Don't take concubines?"
"I want to be like my father, with my heart attached to me, but I don't want to be my father. My father has many concubines. Although my mother is your favorite, she is still your concubine. I just want to marry a wife, not a concubine." Bo Yunxiu expressed his meaning.
The emperor was dazed for a moment, as if he saw the woman who was determined to leave through Bo Yunxiu.
"She is a concubine after all, but in my heart, she is the only wife!" The emperor had tears in his eyes, his voice choked up, "Have you been blaming me?"
"Father, I have never blamed you. I just feel that you should let yourself go after so many years of mother and concubine." Bao Yunxiu looked at him firmly, "If mother and concubine have spirits in the sky, you know You have had a bad life these years, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease."
The emperor shook his head, "Do you know what love is? Do you know that life and death are inseparable? Have you ever experienced the feeling of heart death like ashes? You don't understand, I hope you understand, and I hope you never understand .”
Bo Yunxiu narrowed her eyes, "Father, son..."
"Whose woman do you want to marry?" The emperor turned his back and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Daughter of Xia Dashi." Bo Yunxiu's words were clear.
The emperor was shocked physically and mentally, "Who?"
"Xia Li Anxia's daughter, Xia Wenxi!" Bo Yunxiu said loudly.
The emperor didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
Bo Yunxiu didn't know why, so he could only wait quietly.
After a while, the emperor sighed, and immediately walked away, "Go and kneel and face the wall to think about your past, and get up again at dawn."
Regarding this incident, Bo Yunxiu was also in a daze, not knowing what mistake he had made.
Before dawn, everyone knew that the emperor punished the second prince. As for why he punished him, it was probably because the second prince returned to the palace late. Pass.
Bo Yunxiu didn't understand why his father had such a big reaction when he heard about Xia's daughter. But he knew that if he mentioned it a second time, Xia Wenxi would definitely die, and this matter could only be kept in his heart, buried deep!
For a desperate emperor, he has no scruples.
But what Bo Yunxiu didn't expect was that his father would soon fall down.
I don't know if it was because of what happened that night, he was angry or he caught the wind and cold on the way back. This time his illness was so serious that the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital rushed in one after another, and all of them entered the emperor's bedroom. For a moment, people were panicked, and the front and rear palaces were even more eager to move.
"Second." Bo Yunchong dragged Bao Yunxiu aside, "We need to make preparations early."
Bo Yunxiu didn't speak.
"Don't be silent. Didn't you see that all the guards here have been replaced by people from the Eastern Palace?" Bo Yunchong was terrified, "In a few days, if the father... I'm afraid it will hurt the innocent. You and I are fine, we are pampered In these years, reincarnating once can be regarded as earning money, but the people around us will suffer and be implicated accordingly."
The eyebrows furrowed suddenly, and Bo Yunxiu nodded, "I see."
"You just know there's something for you, so hurry up!" Bo Yunchong sighed softly, "However, the power of the prince has grown more and more these years, and I can't do anything about it. Let's see what the mother and concubine can do, otherwise we will be caught in the same pot." , that scene will be lively!"
Bo Yunxiu turned around and left.
"Hey, where are you going?" Bo Yunchong exclaimed.
Bo Yunyu leaned closer, "Second brother didn't like to go out of the palace before, but now he sneaks out from time to time, I don't know if something happened to him?"
"What can happen to him?" Bo Yunchong rolled his eyes, "It's you, I see that you are always running outside, and you are also mysterious. Say, have you become someone's son-in-law?"
Bao Yunyu was taken aback, then coughed twice, "Brother, you are my own brother, why do you tease me like this? Am I this kind of person?"
"I don't know if you are this kind of person, but I know who the second child is. Fourth child, people sometimes have to restrain themselves. Your brother and I have no other skills. I have seen so many faces over the years. There are some things that can't be hidden from my eyes!" Bo Yunchong took a deep breath, "In the future, don't inquire about the matter of the second child, and take care of yourself!"
"Brother, we are real brothers, why do you always help outsiders?" Bao Yunyu frowned.
Bo Yunchong's face turned cold, "He is not an outsider, he is also my brother, and he appeared earlier than you, and his thoughts are purer than yours. Fourth, pretending to be good does not mean that no one will understand! If you want to be the throne, you just have to worry about it." Go to fight, my second child and I will never compete with you. I don't care about that position, and neither does second child!"
"Brother!" Bao Yunyu chuckled mockingly, "How do you know that Second Brother has no thoughts?"
"Because I want different things." Bo Yunchong stood with his hands behind his back, "Do you know what it means that like attracts like? If the second child is interested in the throne, do you think the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace will be able to survive so far? What kind of temper is the father, what is the temper of the second child? It is very clear and certain!"
Bo Yunyu didn't speak, and couldn't speak.
"You can handle your own affairs by yourself, don't involve me and the second child." Bo Yunchong turned and left.
"Why does everyone help Second Brother?" Bo Yunyu asked.
Bo Yunchong paused, sighed and turned around, his eyes fell on him coolly, "Because everyone likes simple things."
"Simple?" Bo Yunyu snorted softly, "How can there be any simple people in this palace? Simple, isn't it stupid?"
After Bo Yunxiu left the palace, he went directly to Xia's house.
Xia Wenxi was sitting on the wall, shaking her legs in boredom.
Lu'er looked up at her, "Miss, you haven't eaten jujubes for several days, are the dates rotten? This servant is watching, they are still fresh!"
Lowering her eyebrows and playing with the jade dates in her hand, Xia Wenxi turned her head to look outside the wall, her brows furrowed slightly, "Liar!"
The crook still hadn't come, and the back alley was empty.
I picked a date and stuffed it into my mouth, it was crunchy, but...
"Why aren't these dates sweet anymore?" Xia Wenxi curled her lips, "Lu'er, aren't the dates all out of season now? They're not sweet."
"Not sweet?" Lu'er shook her head, "How can it be! It will take a while before this date will pass."
Xia Wenxi sighed softly, sat on the wall and frowned, "I don't seem to like eating dates much anymore."
"What does the young lady want to eat?" Lu'er raised her head, "Your servant will prepare it now."
"I want to drink." Xia Wenxi said.
Lu'er's face turned green in fright, "Miss..."
"You go down, I'll go back after I blow the air." Xia Wenxi curled her lips, "Hurry up, I don't want anyone to stare at me."
Lu'er thought for a while, "Then servant will prepare dinner for you first, the master and young master are not back today, how about this servant prepare some side dishes you like?"
"Yeah!" Xia Wenxi nodded, "Go!"
Lu'er left, Xia Wenxi was still sitting on the wall, but when she turned her head, someone landed safely beside her.
"Why do you..." Xia Wenxi glanced at the wall, "The wall is so high!"
"No matter how tall I am, I can come up." Bao Yunxiu looked at her with burning eyes, "Are you waiting for me?"
Xia Wenxi thought for a while, then nodded obediently, "Yeah!"
"You said you want to drink?" he asked again.
She shook her head hastily, "No, I remember everything! I didn't drink, and I dare not drink."
He hooked his lips and smiled, "Good boy!"
"Why haven't you come to me all this time? You said you would propose marriage to my father, you lied!" Xia Wenxi stared at him, "Although I was the one who drank, I deserve it, but you should do it if you promise Come on, if you can't do it, why bother to promise me?"
Bao Yunxiu's complexion darkened slightly, "If one day, I have nothing, nothing, not the second prince, not the king of Li, are you willing to come with me?" "When I met you, I never thought about you at all." What is the second prince?" Xia Wenxi looked at him, "So what you said has something to do with me?"
Bao Yunxiu suddenly rolled his lips and chuckled, "Very smart."
Xia Wenxi blinked her bright eyes, "Then when will you pick me up? I want to go out, I don't want to be trapped here. You take me to the Eastern Capital, okay?"
"You asked me to take you out to visit the Eastern Capital, or because... you want to be with me?" Bo Yunxiu asked.
Xia Wenxi smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked, "Naturally, I will be with you, and we will go shopping in the Eastern Capital together!"
Bo Yunxiu nodded, "My father is ill, so I can't mention our marriage to him, just wait!"
The East Palace is ready to move, with the potential of thunder.
Xia Wenxi nodded, "Okay!"
When Lu'er came back, Bo Yunxiu left again, and at night, Bo Yunxiu quietly entered Xia Wenxi's boudoir.
"It's like being a thief. If my father and brother find out, they will beat me to death!"
"Then are you willing to come with me?" "Where are you going? The palace?"
"I'll take you away, the mountains are high and the water is wide, whatever!"
"No, I can't bear to part with my father and brother."
"Then... wait a little longer."
"good!"
The emperor survived, but his consciousness was not very clear, he looked a little confused, occasionally even the princes greeted him, and he didn't know who he was. Only when Bo Yunxiu came in, he was still a little sober.
Repeatedly, the emperor's illness lasted for half a year.
During the first half a year, Bo Yunxiu was always inside and outside the palace, running around inside and outside the walls, so that when Xia Li'an was busy, he took Xia Wenxi out for a stroll at the time of day, and sent him back when the time came.
When the snow thawed in the early spring, the emperor fell ill again. After the spring, it seemed that he could not survive the summer.
The emperor ordered him to be carried to Guanju Palace, but he didn't go anywhere, he just lay in the bedroom of Guanju Palace, the place is still the same as when Concubine Nan Gui left, it hasn't changed a bit. Occasionally, when the wind blows, the emperor would wake up with a start, sit up suddenly, and shout whether she had returned.
But it was empty outside, only the sound of flowers falling.
The prince has already taken control of the inside and outside of the palace, and has started to clean up the remnants of the court. The party is united in fighting dissidents, and all preparations have been made.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is here." The eunuch said in a low voice.
The emperor nodded, "Let him come over."
Bo Yunxiu approached, "Father?"
"You came back from outside the palace, right?" The emperor leaned on the cushion, half-closed his eyes.
Looking at her father's white hair, Bo Yunxiu frowned slightly, "Father..."
"Don't be tempted, it's too painful!" The emperor looked at him, "Don't be tempted, remember?"
Bo Yunxiu said nothing.
The emperor sighed softly, "I'm tempted..."
"Father!" Bo Yunxiu took a deep breath, "Just promise my son!"
"I promise you, you will take her away, I can't bear it!" The emperor knows his son too well, and Bo Yunxiu's temperament is actually just like that of Concubine Nan, who is as indifferent to fame and fortune, "I know, you disdain those things. I also understand that what you want is actually the same as your mother. But in this palace, there is no real freedom."
Bo Yunxiu pursed her lips, "Father, I have made up my mind, and I will never let go."
"The prince has already attacked. If you have a weakness, you will be controlled by him. At that time, not only you, but she will also die!" The emperor sighed softly, "You don't want her to end up like your mother and concubine. What will happen to me?"
Bo Yunxiu's eyes turned cold, "My son will..."
"As long as you know her existence, the prince will not let her go." The emperor sighed softly, "Think about it carefully!"
Bo Yunxiu saluted, "Your servant will leave!"
He didn't want to stay long, and he didn't like to hear some words.
Young and energetic, he has never tasted the feeling of ashes, and he does not understand the helplessness of life and death.
By the time you understand it and taste it, it's too late.
The emperor took a breath, and ordered the eunuch beside him, "Quietly, go find the eldest prince!"
"Yes!" The eunuch saluted and stepped back quickly.
Not long after, Bo Yunchong entered Guanju Palace anxiously, the courtyard was empty and there was no one there. The emperor would never summon him in private, so this summoning made Bo Yunchong feel apprehensive and fearful, not knowing what it meant
"Father!" Bo Yunchong saluted.
The emperor sat up quietly, his eyes were cold, completely different from the dying one before.
