who knows how to cross

Imperial study room

Nanmen Yan, who was dressed in bright yellow, held the writing brush vigorously in his little hand, and was critiquing the piles of memorials piled high in front of him one by one with his head down. He approved three copies in a row, with an increasingly gloomy expression on his face.

"I won't approve it!"

While criticizing, the little emperor slammed the memorial in his hand on the ground, and threw the writing brush under the table, his whole body was full of anger.

Li Nian was taken aback by the little emperor's way of throwing the memorial, thinking that a certain minister had played something important, which angered the emperor.

"The general's eldest son beat Shang Shu's nephew, the servant's youngest son kidnapped Sima's second daughter, and Yi Yin's daughter wanted to elope!"

The little emperor left the desk, walked to the side stool and sat down, still full of anger.

"Xiao Lizi, what big things are you talking about! I am only ten years old, and these ministers even have to handle their family affairs for them! My brother-in-law was injured by an arrow, yet I want to approve these worthless memorials here , to advise those ministers and their parents! What kind of emperor am I!" He heard someone report that his brother-in-law blocked the poisoned arrow for the emperor's sister, hurriedly rushed to the door, but was ordered by the emperor's sister in the room to complete the approval. Memorials are not allowed out of the Imperial Study Room.

Li Nian picked up the memorial on the ground, put the brush back into the pen holder, and looked back at the little emperor helplessly, "It turns out that the emperor lost his temper because he couldn't see his son-in-law?"

The little emperor calmed down a little, and nodded honestly.As if thinking of something, the little emperor walked to the desk in a few steps, knelt down and rummaged through it.After searching for a while, he sat down on the stool again with a wooden carving in his hand.

Li Nian looked at the thing in the little emperor's hand, it was a wooden carved puppy, he recognized it, it was a broken wood carving when the emperor carved it for the first time.Secretly surprised, the emperor still kept it.

The little emperor stared at the wood carving in his hand, put his finger on the dog's broken ear, looked up at Li Nian, and asked him, "Little Li, do you think the son-in-law will be fine?"

"Slave, I don't know."

I really wanted to say some comforting words, but Li Nian still honestly said what was in his heart.Whether the son-in-law is safe or not, I am afraid that only Her Highness the Princess knows at this moment.

The little emperor lowered his head, tightly holding the wooden carved puppy in his palm, his eyes were not as radiant as before, and he was slightly disappointed. "That day when I saw the son-in-law in the rain, and saw him hugging the dirty and dirty puppy like that, I felt that this person must be an excellent person. So I didn't even want to point him as the son-in-law. Those ministers said that scholars take part in the imperial examination for the sake of winning the first prize. I like him, so I will give him the number one scholar he wants. Xiaozhu said that I want to choose a meeting for the imperial sister. I think he is a good son-in-law who treats the emperor well. From the first time I saw him, he told me by his behavior that he would be a good son-in-law. Tell me, if he has something to do, how will I give it to the emperor? Sister looking for another consort?"

Li Nian was dumb, he was clearly a ten-year-old child, and his voice was soft and waxy, but at the moment it fell into people's ears, and with a serious expression, he looked like a mature adult.

Nanmenyan put the wood carving on the table, poked it with his finger, and murmured, "I can't find it."

"emperor……"

Li Nian looked at the little emperor with some concern, always thought that the emperor simply liked the son-in-law as a child, but he didn't know that he had always had such an obsession in his heart.

"It hurts~"

"It hurts~"

Nanmen Xiao was staring at the orchids on the table in a daze, when Chu Yuxi's very slight groan came from behind his ears.

Turning around in a hurry, she saw Chu Yuxi frowning tightly, and large beads of sweat overflowed her forehead.Her hair has been loosened, and she looks like a woman, but her face is extremely pale.

Nanmen Xiao took the handkerchief on the table, walked to the bed, and wiped off the sweat on her forehead along the Chulu River.

"It hurts~"

"It hurts~"

Chu Yuxi's extremely soft and soft voice sounded again.

The handkerchief in Nanmen Xiao's hand suddenly tightened, like a dike of thousands of miles, but finally collapsed in a small ant's nest.The strong barrier in my heart collapsed because of a word of pain.

There was never a moment when Nanmen Xiao felt that it was so difficult and easy to make a choice.There was never a moment when her heart was so flustered by a person, and there was never a moment when she loathed a weapon so much and was afraid of a person's pain.

Biting her lower lip tightly, one hand gently landed on Chu Yuxi's bloodless face, her fingertips gently slid down the contours of her face, past her closed eyes, trembling eyelashes, Sliding over her not very straight nose bridge, sliding over her dark lips.

Nanmen Xiao leaned over, lowered his head and looked at Chuyuxi very close, and traced the corner of Chuyuxi's lips with his right index finger. "Chu Yuxi, do you know what I have to lose for you?" Looking at the person who was completely unconscious and would not respond to her at all, Nanmen Xiao suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, it was a very gentle and gentle smile, " Chu Yuxi, you are very smart, you can judge the situation, you know how to grasp the heart of the palace, you know how to hold the heart of the palace, Chu Yuxi, the palace saved you today, after you wake up, you will not let it down Bengong, if you dare to betray me, I will cut you to pieces!"

Nanmen Xiao stood up, using his internal strength with both hands to hug Chu Yuxi on the bed.

Holding Chuluxi in his arms, he walked to the door, and said two words coldly, "Open the door."

"Princess!"

Pushing open the door, Xiao Zhu panicked when she saw the princess carrying Chu Yuxi out, and called out princess in a panic.

"Open the bathroom door!" Nanmen Xiaochao ordered Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue nodded, and then took a step, but Xiaozhu suddenly grabbed her forcefully, shouting "Xiaoyue can't do it!", and was at a loss for what to do.

"Princess not!" Xiaozhu knelt on the ground.She knew that the princess had already made a decision in her heart.

Nanmen Xiao glanced at Xiaozhu on the ground, "Stay here, no one is allowed to enter." After speaking, he passed her directly, walked to the door, pushed the door open with his internal force, and walked in.

"Princess!" Seeing the door slam shut in front of her, Xiao Zhu collapsed on the ground, muttering the word "princess" continuously.

"What happened to the princess?"

Seeing her appearance, Xiaoyue wanted to step forward to help her up in amazement.Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhu waved his hand away and yelled at her angrily, "What's wrong with the princess! How do I know what's wrong with the princess! You ask the princess yourself! Also, is it useful for you to ask me what's wrong now! At that time you Why did you go? You didn’t protect the princess well! Why did you go!” After speaking, she turned around and wept silently.

"Hey! Tell me well, don't cry!" It was the first time hearing Xiaozhu talk so much, Xiaoyue became anxious, and she also knew that Xiaozhu was really anxious.

------Dividing line------

In the same room, in the same darkness, a black figure flashed through the air, jumped towards the slightly open window, and fell into the room.

As soon as the shadow fell to the ground, the originally pitch-black room became brighter in an instant, and candlelight filled the entire room.

"who are you?"

The killer stared at the strange man with his back turned in front of him, with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Who I am is not important to you."

The man threw away the torch in his hand, lowered his head to pick up a teacup on the table, and knocked on the table again and again, imperceptibly giving a sense of oppression to the people behind him.

"It's really interesting. You are a killer, so you named yourself a killer. You are really an interesting killer." The man seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be sighing to the people behind him.

The killer pulled out the sword at his waist with one hand, and put it on the man's neck. The man's neck was very white, with a trace of blood spilling out.

"You are not him, who are you!"

The killer's eyes were red, and his hands were secretly exerting force, as if he wanted to end the man's life at any time.

The man continued to knock on the table with the cup in his hand, as if he didn't care that the knife around his neck might kill him at any moment.

"If you kill me, you won't get the money. Are you sure you want to continue?" The man spoke lightly, without any fluctuation in his voice.

"He is your employer, and I am the one who pays you. What, do you want to continue?"

The killer's eyes moved, and he slowly retracted the knife.

"who are you?"

The five words asked by the killer seemed to be squeezed out between the teeth, full of pressure, and the listener was not allowed to answer.

Hearing this, the man finally put down the cup in his hand, stood up slowly with both hands on the table, the man turned around slowly, and showed an unruly smile at the killer:

"My subordinates, do anything wrong, do anything wrong."

------Dividing line------

Nanmen Xiao slowly stepped into the bath with Chuluxi in his arms, the water wavered slightly, bursts of hot air began to rise out of the water, and soon spread out in vain.

Nanmen Xiao put Chuluxi in the middle of the bath, and helped her to sit up. The water was not deep, just over the shoulders of Chuyuxi.As the water continued to sway, traces of blood overflowed from the wound, Nanmen Xiao raised two fingers together, and touched several acupuncture points all over the body of Chuyuxi.

Chu Yuxi frowned, she was completely unconscious at the moment, Nanmen Xiao just let go of her hand, and fell into the water.Nanmen Xiao pulled her up, then let go, but she still fell down.There was no other way, Nanmen Xiao had no choice but to touch two acupuncture points on her body.

Seeing that she finally stopped falling down, Nanmen Xiaofang raised his hand and pulled away his belt, and took off his outer clothes.Walking to the edge of the bathtub, he put the clothes he took off on the edge of the bathtub, raised his hand and took off the second one...

The third...

last thing...

The billowing white mist concealed Nanmen Xiao's figure, and she walked forward step by step, like a fairy walking in a misty fairyland.Turning around, he approached the Chulu River without a trace.Raising his hands, both hands rested on Chu Yuxi's collar, and slowly pulled them apart, for fear of tearing her wounds, Nanmen Xiao went through the whole process very slowly...

When her eyes fell on the last piece of clothing, Nanmen Xiao's outstretched hand suddenly trembled and began to tremble slightly. An inexplicable strange feeling kept rising in her mind.She felt that what was in front of her at the moment was Chu Yuxi, but it didn't seem to be.Water dripped from her hair to her ruddy face continuously, forming tiny drops of water on her face, and she suddenly felt that she was beautiful.

He lowered his head, caressed Chu Yuxi's face with one hand, then held her hand, clasped his fingers with hers, and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"The me of the day, the you of the present, Chu Yuxi, and us, are we really unhappy with retribution?"
