Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!

"You..." After a long kiss, Xiao Changning licked the red lips that were kissed by Shen Xuan, and a layer of blush appeared on the jade surface. ."

Although she was complaining, the light in her eyes couldn't hide her at this moment, and she almost shook her little tail.

Shen Xuan's eyebrows were deep, and she wrapped Xiao Changning's waist and slowly said, "Then, say hello before kissing you this time?"

After that, he gently squeezed her chin and bowed his head slightly. He was about to kiss Fangze again, but suddenly saw a few lights on the road ahead. Several of the forbidden troops on duty trot over with the night patrol lights and shouted: "Who is there? That sneaky?!"

The etiquette in the palace is harsh, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to be intimacy by the roads in the palace. Anyone who acts frivolous will be subject to impeachment and dismissal. Xiao Changning wasn't afraid of being impeached, but considering that the people in the palace had a lot of suspicion about Shenxuan, and didn't want to cause trouble to him, a Ji Ling woke up, blushed and pushed Shenxuan's chest and said, "Let's go. somebody is coming."

Admiral Shen, who was interrupted by good deeds, was obviously displeased. With a twist of his long eyebrows, the warmth in his eyes instantly became frost. Without saying a word, he took Xiao Changning into his arms and wrapped it in his black cloak. Only then did he turn a cold and open face, and his sharp gaze stared straight at the guards who didn't know what was good or bad. , Eyes are like a knife.

The guard clinging to the halberd ran up to Shen Xuan, raised the night patrol light, and illuminated Shen Xuan's frosty face. He was so frightened that he took a step backwards and said, "Shen, Admiral Shen..."

Shen Xuan was wearing a cloak, and there seemed to be a person hidden under the cloak, only a section of the beautifully embroidered cobalt blue skirt...

Not everyone can afford such a gorgeous palace dress! The guards shivered again, and they didn't dare to think deeply about who the woman had a tryst with Admiral Shen late at night.

"Fuck." Shenxuan's face was deep, and her cold tone was enough to explain his impatience at this time.

"Yes, yes! Retire from the humble duty!" The forbidden army hurriedly retreated without squinting as if they were amnesty.

When the chaotic footsteps were gone, the person hidden under the cloak arched his head, revealing a reddish cheek, and took a long breath of cold air. She had been stuffed under Shen Xuan's cloak just now, her cheeks pressed against his chest, she felt his strong heartbeat, and the body temperature all over his body was contaminated, and she couldn't help but blush and flustered.

Shen Xuan looked at Xiao Changning, and said dumbly: "Do you want to continue?"

Xiao Changning glanced at him, released his embrace and said, "Stop making trouble, you have to drink with me and tell stories."

The process of fetching wine is very easy. After all, with the prestige of Shen Xuan, let alone two jars of wine, even if they want to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, the eunuchs of Shangshan Supervisor also have to offer it with both hands.

Xiao Changning waited outside the Shangshan Supervisor for less than a moment, and saw Shen Xuan hooking two wine jars in one hand, holding a wine cup and a wine spoon in the other, coming out majesticly from inside, with two palms behind him. The old **** in the matter said with tears, "Admiral Shen walks slowly."

Xiao Changning leaned forward and smelled the aroma of the wine, and asked, "You scared them? Why are you scared like this?"

Shen Xuan said: "His Royal Highness once saw the governor, wasn't he also scared like this?"

Xiao Changning was speechless to refute, so he raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, and said with little deterrence: "If you make fun of this palace with the past, this palace will not agree to your pursuit."

Shen Xuan laughed lowly, did not speak, only carried the wine jar towards the Shufeng Tower, her tall and straight body was soaked in the shadow of the lantern, which was quite free and easy.

Looking at his back, Xiao Changning opened his lips, jogged all the way to follow, squinted and asked with a smile: "Shen Xuan, wouldn't you really stop pursuing it?"

Hearing this, Shen Xuan suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her.

Before Xiao Changning could stop, he almost slammed into his hard bosom, and couldn't help but whisper. The next moment, his palm was held tightly by Shen Xuan, wrapped in his warm and powerful palm.

Xiao Changning blinked and asked in confusion, "What are you doing with my hand?"

"Pursue you." Shen Xuan said sternly.

Xiao Changning was stunned, and then reacted, Admiral Shen used practical actions to answer her questions just now.

The heat of the palms spread to the cheeks. Being led by him, Xiao Changning only felt relieved like never before. While holding his slightly callused palm, he smiled and said, "Well, I can barely accept your pursuit."

The Shufeng Tower was originally an observation deck built in the palace in the previous dynasty. It was more than ten feet high. It was later changed into a quiet pavilion with bamboo curtains hanging on all sides and two lanterns lit. You can overlook the sea of ​​lights at night. Watching the starry sky is a good place to reminisce about the past.

At this time, the remnant snow has not disappeared, the moonlight is bright, the night wind in the building is slowly, Xiao Changning and Shen Xuan are sitting opposite each other in the building, and they poured a glass of wine.

The plum wine is fragrant and slightly sweet. The light-colored wine is filled with a few blooming pickled plum blossoms, reflecting the bi-ceramic wine cup, which has a special flavor.

The light was slightly yellow, and Xiao Changning held the wine cup and said, "Now, what's the matter with you and Shen Qi?"

Shen Xuan poured a cup for herself, then picked up her drink and sniffed at the end of her nose, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is smart, so it's better to guess first."

"Okay." Xiao Changning said, "If this palace gets the guess, you have to punish yourself for a cup."

She changed her way to drink Shenxuan's wine. How could Shenxuan not see her careful thoughts?

He suppressed the heat in his heart, and asked, "If your Royal Highness guessed wrong, what should I do?"

Xiao Changning thought for a while, squinted his eyes and said, "The palace punishes itself for a cup."

It's kind of interesting, it seems that tonight must be love and wine tonight, not drunk.

Shen Xuan smiled clearly and made a'please' gesture.

"You can completely replace Shen Qi in the palace without being discovered. It must be that your appearance and age are very similar, so this palace guesses that he should be your brother." Xiao Changning frowned and said confidently, "Moreover, It is very likely to be twins."

After that, she raised her eyes slightly confidently, waiting expectantly for Shen Xuan's ruling.

However, Shen Xuan shook her head slightly and said, "His Royal Highness is only half right."

Full of confidence was vented clean, Xiao Changning said in surprise: "Is only half right?"

"Shen Qi is indeed my brother's brother. He is three months younger than me, but he is not a twin." Mentioning Shen Qi's past, Shen Xuan's eyes were dark, and her tone could not help but lower, and said: "His Royal Highness guessed it. No, I should be fined a cup."

Xiao Changning was a little unwilling, and toasted: "I got half the answer right anyway. It's a tie. You and I should fine each other."

Shen Xuan didn't argue with her, she raised her glass to meet her, and immediately drank with her head up.

Shen Xuan took a mouthful of boredom, and Xiao Changning frowned so hot. He stuck his tongue out several times before drinking the drink. Suddenly, a rush of enthusiasm rushed from his stomach to the limbs, and his body was warm, resisting the chill of the night wind.

Xiao Changning licked the wine stains on his lips, and then guessed: "Shen Qi died in the hands of the Queen Mother. Both you and Yu Kou have bothered to avenge him. I think he must be an excellent person, and it is worthy of you for him. Pay like this."

"His Royal Highness is wrong again." Shen Xuan's gaze fell on her water-glowing lips, her eyes deepened, and she said dumbly, "Shen Qi is a very stupid person, stupid and suffering, even for a moment. I have never had a good day."

That must be a heavy past, because Xiao Changning saw a rare pity in Shen Xu's eyes.

Shen Qi, who died so confused, shouldn't be her bargaining chip for gambling. Thinking about this, Xiao Changning filled himself with another glass and drank it. Fang said thoughtfully: "I don’t guess anymore. Shen Xiu, please tell me his story. After listening, I will try again. Self-punish a cup."

Shen Xuan's most heart-wrenching is Xiao Changning's inadvertent empathy and timely submission. The haze in his eyes dissipated a little, he poured himself a glass, put one hand on the wine jar, and the silver iron wristbands shone coldly in the moonlight.

He asked: "His Royal Highness has heard of human ducks?"

Human duck?

"Slightly heard." The light of the lantern was dim, and Xiao Changning whispered, "It is rumored that if someone commits a capital crime, the powerful in the sinner's family will buy a duck to die for him, which is similar to that of a dead ghost. People and ducks are voluntary, and most of the poor in the family have to exchange their lives."

"Yes." Shen Xu buckled the wine cup on Table Mountain, rubbing the rim of the cup with her thumb, and said for a long time, "Shen Qi is an illegitimate son raised by my father, and the man who suffered for me."

"The bastard? Suffer for you?"

The truth is right here, only covered by a mist. Xiao Changning became nervous suddenly, and said tightly: "It is definitely not an ordinary person who can use a human duck to replace the crime...Shen Xuan, who is your true identity?"

The night breeze struck, and the shadow of the lamp trembled slightly, reflected in Shen Xuan's deep and cold eyes, and the brightness was visible.

I don't know how long it has passed, Shen Xuan said in a deep voice: "I and Shen Qi's surname Zhou, my father, Qingzhou Zhou Yan, is the retainer of King Jing, the second son of the emperor."

As if thunder struck, all doubts were solved. Xiao Changning's eyes widened slightly, and subconsciously looked around. Seeing the darkness around her and the loneliness, her nervous heart relaxed a little, and said: "Are you... a descendant of the Zhou clan in Qingzhou?"

Shen Xuan raised her head and said, "Yes, Zhou Clan in Qingzhou."

The first emperor had three sons and three daughters. The eldest son of the emperor was born by the queen dowager Liang, but it is probably because the empress dowager committed too many crimes. This son had a fateful life and died suddenly when he was fourteen years old. The second son was the emperor. The Jing Wang born to Huibi was a smart and benevolent young man, and Xiao Changning's favorite in his childhood was the second emperor brother.

Later, the first emperor married Concubine Yu Gui, and no longer set foot in other harems, and his heirs gradually faded, and only gave birth to Xiao Changning and Xiao Huan, a daughter and a son.

King Jing grew up to seventeen or eighteen years old. With the secret support of the Zhou clan in Qingzhou, he gradually became the most promising prince to inherit the Datong. It's a pity that when he was about to be established as the prince, he finally failed to beat the queen mother's iron fist.

King Jing died in an "accidental" death, and he was destroyed together with the Qingzhou Zhou clan...

At the beginning, the Zhou clan was ransacked by the whole family, the female family members were regarded as official tricks, and the male Ding who was less than thirteen was castrated as slaves.

By now, everything is clear: Shen Qi, a lowly illegitimate child, became a scapegoat for his son, Shen Xuan, and was castrated into the palace instead of him, but died unexpectedly four years after entering the palace, and Shen Xuan became himself by accident. Stand-in for stand-in...

"No, it's still wrong." Xiao Changning murmured, "How can an illegitimate child look so much like you? This is counterintuitive."

This is the memory that Shen Xu doesn't want to touch the most.

He groaned for a moment, then twisted his eyebrows and said, "He was not born to be the same as me. Instead, he was changed his eyebrows just like me, cutting the bones and taking the flesh with one knife, and he changed into my appearance forcibly. I was castrated by the destruction of the Zhou family..."
