Reborn Black Lotus can read minds

"Well, you all know after this that Prince Rui insists on dragging you into the water. From the moment Prince Rui took you into the mansion that night, to the time you came out, the people from the Head Office were always guarding you outside. In that situation, If you were just an ordinary civilian, you would have been shot to death by random arrows from the people guarding outside the house."

"...Because the Third Young Master promptly issued a secret edict to His Highness the Crown Prince, saying that Princess Chang'an was being held hostage by gangsters inside, His Highness the Crown Prince rushed the information to the Chief Executive. In this way, they did not dare to act rashly... .You don’t know how dangerous it was at that time...I have never seen the third young master so anxious and panicked..."

Only then did Shen Yuan understand the reasons for all the strange things he encountered that day, and he felt very emotional for a moment.

It turns out that Xiao Xingyun has made so many efforts in the corner that he can't see.

But she didn't know it at all, or in other words, Xiao Xingyun didn't let her know at all.

Is this a form of protection?

Or is this just a distrust of her ability? Does Xiao Xingyun feel that she can't help him at all, so he doesn't want to say anything to her?

Shen Yuan felt a little annoyed when she thought of this.

He was always like this, taking care of everything by himself, just like when he sent her to Prince Yu's Mansion - did he really think that she had no brains or strategy and was only worthy of being arranged by him like a chess piece?

How long will this kind of control and manipulation in the name of protection last?

"Then, if I am really a commoner, if the people in charge of the business department kill without mercy, won't they also kill Prince Rui and Lu Jingchuan together?" Shen Yuan looked at it with burning eyes.

Ringing the wind chimes, hoping to get answers.

Feng Chime nodded: "You are right. At that time, the Director was prepared to kill everyone indiscriminately."

"You don't know, since the barbarians captured several cities in the west, the people in Kyoto are panicked, and the court is even more frightened. Any slightest disturbance related to the barbarians will be punished as a serious crime. Not to mention such a big person who colludes with the barbarians. It would be a mercy not to pull out all the people involved and cut them into pieces."

Feng Ling saw that Shen Yuan had just woken up and had heard so many things. It was difficult to digest for a while, so he took the initiative: "You have a good rest. I will come to see you later. I am now your personal maid. If you have any questions, just call me." That’s it.”

As if in a dream, Shen Yuan watched Feng Chime leave step by step and watched her skillfully close the gorgeous carved door. She seemed to have quickly accepted her new identity as the princess's maid.

Indeed, too many things happened.

She thought she really deserved a good rest.

Shen Yuan closed her eyes tiredly.

She is very dissatisfied with herself now. She feels that she is no longer strong. Not only her body, but also her mind has become very weak. The smallest thing can break her psychological defense.

She didn't understand how she became like this.

She hated herself looking like this.

It seemed that everything happened after she came out of that dark dungeon and saw Ahe die with her own eyes. She seemed to have lost herself.

She hoped that sleep would restore her energy and become as strong as ever.

Because she knows that there are many, many things she will face in the future...

She just lay like this for an unknown amount of time. It must have been dark, because she heard the chirping of insects, but there was no light in the room, and only the pale moon shone on her face.

She heard the door being pushed open, and instinctively thought the person coming was a wind chime. She was about to open her eyes, but she felt the light and fast footsteps of the person approaching the bed.

No, this person is not Feng Chime. Feng Chime walks slowly. It is impossible for him to walk so fast and without any movement.

Although Shen Yuan did not open her eyes, when he came closer, she could smell the familiar scent of hosta flowers.

Shen Yuan's eyes couldn't help but become moist again. But she still closed her eyes tightly and didn't open them at all.

She understood that from the moment she entered the palace, her whole body, inside and out, had been filled with all kinds of eyeliners. She no longer dared to do whatever she wanted. She was afraid that she would kill him.

He subconsciously reached out to comfort her, but his hand stopped mid-air.

Shen Yuan moved her eyelashes slightly, opened them slightly, and her eyes fell lightly on his face.

She had never seen such an expression on his face. Ever since he met Shen Yuan, he always looked like he had nothing to do with the sky falling. How had he ever behaved in such a cautious manner?

Fortunately, he was not looking into Shen Yuan's eyes at the moment. His eyes fell on Shen Yuan's neck. There was a shocking scar there, which looked distressing on the fair skin.

Looking at Shen Yuan's weak look, something seemed to be burning in his eyes, but it soon turned into a wisp of ruined smoke, and finally everything fell into her eyes.

It's a warm mist.

He retracted his hand, looked at her slightly opened eyes, and asked funnyly and gently: "Does it hurt, Yuan'er?"

For a moment, Shen Yuan felt all kinds of grievances welling up in his heart.

She finally couldn't stop it, her eyes were filled with tears for a moment, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously pursed downwards. She had just pretended to be calm in front of the wind chime, but her unyielding determination in front of Prince Rui suddenly collapsed, and she burst into tears.

The first thing he asked her was whether it hurt. He didn't care about all the other things. He only cared about how she felt now. He only cared about whether she would hurt.

Shen Yuan didn't know what she was feeling at the moment. She didn't even know whether she was crying because her long-standing fear was released or because he touched her heart by asking her so gently if it hurt.

Shen Yuan didn't know the answer to this matter until a long, long time later.

Xiao Xingyun watched her expression change rapidly, and watched her tense emotions finally release, and then he dared to stretch out his hand to pinch her cheek, and chuckled softly: "You were pretending to be strong just now, so you can keep it for me, right?"

Shen Yuan looked at him. He had a half-smiling expression on his face at the moment. His slender eyes were crooked. He was still teasing me with his head tilted. His tears could not stop like waterfalls in the mountains.

Shen Yuan hugged him along his arm, as if grasping her life-saving straw.

His body trembled at first and froze in place.

Later, he accepted her completely and held her tightly until she buried her head completely in his arms.

At this moment, her heart seemed to have calmed down, and she dared to cry loudly without any scruples.

The night was deeper.

Shen Yuan sobbed quietly, the more she cried, the quieter she became.

Finally tired of crying, Xiao Xingyun tried his best to half-coax and half-frighten him, so he reluctantly closed his eyes.

He stayed in front of Shen Yuan's bed for a while, thinking that she was probably asleep, so he helped her cover her with the quilt more properly, and muttered: "It is really a mistake to save you in this way."
