Shen Xihe nodded and looked at him quietly.
For the first time, Xiao Huayong couldn't figure out someone's thoughts. He could only continue, "Back in Kyoto, Kyoto is boring. Everyone is under my control, except you. I just want to look at you, understand you better, look at your loneliness, look at your cleverness, look at your wisdom. Unknowingly, I got stuck in the mud. When I realized it, I was willing to fight for your life..."
When did Xiao Huayong determine that Shen Xihe was indispensable to him
They were picking snow lotus on the top of the snow mountain. Originally, he thought it was just a little different and he just liked it a little. When he was not 50% sure that he could escape unscathed, he was still unwilling to give up the Tianshan Snow Lotus. He knew that this woman had already quietly integrated into his bones and blood.
If he was a little careless before picking the snow lotus, then after picking the snow lotus, he gave his all.
Shen Xihe is not a fool. The Tianshan Snow Lotus was sent by Hua Fuhai's people. Tianshan Snow Lotus... Thinking about the time when he left Beijing, ostensibly because the autumn grain was robbed, but with his connections, he didn't need to go there in person for such a thing.
"Tien Shan Snow Lotus, you knew from Doctor Qi that I needed it, so you pretended to be sick. This is what you need." Shen Xihe didn't understand medical knowledge before. He had questioned Sui Axi and Zhenzhu about Xiao Huayong's condition, but never asked him whether he needed Tian Shan Snow Lotus.
She had specifically asked about it yesterday. His illness did not require the Tianshan Snow Lotus at all. He mobilized the forces in the palace to look for it for her.
"Ordinary snow lotuses are all on high mountains, but this kind of snow lotus can only be found on the top of snow peaks." Shen Xihe was not a girl who knew nothing. She had never been to the top of a snow mountain, but she had read travel notes, which wrote that it was difficult for ordinary people to climb to the top of a mountain and that it was difficult to breathe when she entered.
Thinking of their first meeting, he was also picking fairy threads on a high mountain. It seemed that he did not dare to go to such a dangerous place.
She raised her head and stared into his eyes with her cold eyes: "Your eyes are poisoned by this and you can't distinguish the five colors."
At this point, Xiao Huayong had no choice but to tell the truth: "Yoyo, since I came back from picking snow lotus, I have wanted to be honest with you, but I know your concerns, so I have never dared to tell you. Last time you found the chess piece, I hesitated, but my cowardice made me hide it.
The day before yesterday, I learned that you have a keen sense of smell and can distinguish any fragrance even if it is the same fragrance with different proportions. I knew that if you saw the bracelets, I would be exposed. I wanted to confess to you at that time, but when I thought of your gentle treatment of me that day, I was afraid..."
He was the crown prince, a crown prince who kept a low profile and was not afraid of even the emperor. He was so afraid of her that he didn't even dare to tell her the truth. He was afraid that she would turn around and never look at him again after knowing it.
"You already know everything that happened later." Xiao Huayong closed his eyes, like a death row prisoner accepting the sentence.
Shen Xihe looked at him. The cold wind swirled between the two of them, lifting their black hair and tangling it in mid-air.
"Your Highness, Zhaoning thanks Your Highness for your repeated help. Your Highness, Zhaoning will do her best to repay your kindness." After a long time, Shen Xihe's cold voice sounded, "Your Highness is sincere, Zhaoning has no choice but to let you down. For the sake of the future, please cooperate with Zhaoning to cancel the engagement."
"What did you say?" Xiao Huayong had actually guessed her reaction long ago, but when he really heard it, he still felt as painful as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart.
