The heroine who wears a book is always teasing me

Xu Nuan looked away and said, "I'm not going to be fooled by you."

"I don't know how many invitation posts have been piled up in this other courtyard in recent days. You can kill time by picking any pile."

Yin Ruoyue raised her head slightly, her eyes turned slightly, her expression was indifferent, she raised her hand and gently tugged at Xu Nuan's sleeve and said: "The princess must have annoyed me, so she said that on purpose."

"I came all the way here just to stay with the princess for a while, and I don't want to waste this precious time."

"When it's February and March, the season will be much warmer, so how about I go for an outing with the princess?" Although Yin Ruoyue didn't jump over the round pillow, the hand that was pulling the sleeve never stopped.

Xu Nuan turned her head to look at Yin Ruoyue's soft tone, and punished her harshly.

"No, anyway, there will be more people invited. Invite me to go together, so as not to be gossiped by others."

It was rare for Xu Nuan to see such a tough attitude, Yin Ruoyue withdrew her hands, sat quietly aside and said, "I won't go after that, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the princess."

The room suddenly became quiet. Xu Nuan only felt that Qing Yu's words were harsh.

He wanted to open his mouth to say something more, but the words stopped beside his mouth, and Xu Nuan couldn't say it.

Until the maid who entered the inner room lit the lamp and said that dinner was ready.

Only then did the two leave the inner room together, and after eating hastily, Yin Ruoyue left the other courtyard.

After that, I didn't see anyone for more than half a month, and even the invitation posts suddenly disappeared.

The spring is getting warmer and early February, the flowers and plants are growing fast, it is not good to be bored in the room all day, Xu Nuan will go out of the room occasionally.

The medicine that was taken every two hours in the past is now only needed once a day.

Ben sat alone in the pavilion, Xu Nuan had nothing to do and flipped through the storybook, not wanting to suddenly see a bird standing on the railing next to him, with a letter box tied to his leg.

Xu Nuan stretched out her hand to touch the well-behaved carrier pigeon, opened the envelope, and the carrier pigeon sat on the side railing obediently by itself.

[There was a discussion in Meiyuan that day, but the princess did not reply. I wonder if the princess can go to the back door to discuss? 】

There was no name on the letter, so Xu Nuan guessed it was Zhou Xia, got up and went to the backyard alone, and opened the door.

Seeing Zhou Xia leaning against the wall and worrying, he must have been pushed too hard by the marriage.

Xu Nuan approached with a gentle breath and said, "General Zhou."

"Princess, is there an answer to that matter last time?"

"This... I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't cooperate with the marriage contract."

Zhou Xia was a little frustrated, sighed, looked sideways at the high wall and said, "The princess is in good health now, and the marriage contract will come sooner or later, do you already have something in your heart?"

"No!" Xu Nuan anxiously refused, looking down at the many weeds growing in the corner, she replied, "I'm just thinking about something."

"About Yin Ruoyue?"

Zhou Xia turned her head to look at Xu Nuan, and said sharply: "Recently, there have been rumors in the capital that someone has provoked Yin Ruoyue, and most of the people who come to post posts are kicked out."

"Excuse me, I'm sorry, Yin Ruoyue has a suspicious and weird personality. She was born as a civil servant, but she has a murderous aura that is stronger than that of a general. To eradicate King Fu's followers, Yin Ruoyue beheaded hundreds of people."

"I can't see through Yin Ruoyue, even my father can't see through her. The princess should be careful."

Xu Nuan responded calmly: "Well, you should be more careful."

"You must pay attention to the refugee matter, I'm afraid it will cause chaos."

Zhou Xia nodded hesitantly and said, "Yes."

Xu Nuan didn't know what kind of turmoil would arise, but he just thought that it would be good if Zhou Xia could find any traces.

Without talking much, Zhou Xia left, and Xu Nuan went back to the room.

After nightfall, Xu Nuan had no appetite to eat, so she went to bed early.

When it was approaching midnight, I suddenly heard the windows being blown loudly by the wind. Xu Nuan felt strange, since the windows were closed before going to bed.

Why was it suddenly opened in the middle of the night?

Could it be that someone sneaked in?

Xu Nuan's heart was in her throat, and she grabbed the quilt tightly with her hands. She wanted to call for someone, but she thought that if the maid didn't arrive, she would be discovered by the gangster first, that would be really unlucky.

Because the room was very dark, Xu Nuan wasn't sure if someone really sneaked in.

Just when she was about to stand up and take a closer look, her mouth and nose were covered suddenly, and Xu Nuan was unconscious.

I don't know what happened, when Xu Nuan woke up again, his hands and feet were tied, as if he was stuffed in a box.

Hearing the faint sound of the wheels of the carriage, Xu Nuan's whole body remained motionless, and there was no other sound outside, only the dull trampling of horseshoes.

Who would sneak into another courtyard to rob him?

Could it be that he was the one who poisoned him in the palace back then?

Xu Nuan didn't think clearly, and suddenly heard the sound of swords clashing outside, propped up his body and slightly raised his head to look through the gap of the box, and only saw a few dark figures, and couldn't see anything else clearly.

The box suddenly fell to one side, and Xu Nuan tumbled down, completely stunned.

Before he had time to take a breath, water suddenly came out of the box, Xu Nuan looked at the water in shock, wondering if he was going to be murdered to silence him?

When the water filled his nose and mouth, Xu Nuan had to hold his breath, his hands and feet were covered again, there was no chance of escape.

Holding her breath for a long time almost caused Xu Nuan to lack oxygen, Xu Nuan had to choke several times, and her throat was even more uncomfortable.

I don't know how much water I drank, and when Xu Nuan was almost resigned to his fate, a hole suddenly broke in the box.

Xu Nuan was pulled out, and Zhou Xia reached out to take Xu Nuan out of the water quickly.

Xu Nuan, who was gasping for breath, was choked by the water and coughed uncomfortably, his eyes were mostly red, and he was stunned when he saw the corpse floating on the water.

"This... who are they?"

Zhou Xia dragged Xu Nuan ashore, and she was too tired to respond: "I still want to ask who the princess has offended, who dared to do such a murderous thing to the princess."

Xu Nuan herself couldn't figure it out, let alone answer Zhou Xia.

Both of them were drenched, and the gate of the capital was still closed, so Zhou Xia had to take Xu Nuan to find the nearest inn.

I thought nothing would happen after taking a hot bath, but Xu Nuan still had a fever in the middle of the night.

He heard Zhou Xia's voice in a daze, but Xu Nuan couldn't understand Zhou Xia's words at all, and lost consciousness when his eyes went dark.

Xu Nuan is very familiar with the feeling of having a fever. He has a headache and brain fever, and his whole body can't exert any strength.

When Xu Nuan recovered, he was still in the inn.

"The princess is awake." Zhou Xia took away the handkerchief on Xu Nuan's forehead and said, "The old doctor said that if I don't wake up today, I have to prepare a coffin."

Xu Nuan wanted to answer, but found that she couldn't speak at all, so Zhou Xia hurried to find the old doctor.

When the old doctor was invited by Zhou Xia, he was out of breath and his face turned blue.

After taking the pulse, the old doctor laughed and said: "Miss is really lucky, if this doesn't wake up your husband, you will die of worry."

Xu Nuan looked at Zhou Xia blankly, thinking that his head was burning, so he misheard for a while.

After the old doctor left, Zhou Xia looked at Xu Nuan in embarrassment and explained: "Princess, don't be annoyed, the old doctor probably misunderstood, and I didn't make any excuses to avoid suspicion."

"never mind."

Xu Nuan stretched out her hand to hold the hot tea, took a few sips, and then she spoke more and more smoothly.

It was clear that the sun was shining brightly outside, but Xu Nuan's typhoid fever had not subsided, and he felt very cold.

"I've only heard that the princess is weak and can't stand typhoid fever. This time it really scared me."

Zhou Xiahou said in fear.

"You are General Zhou who suppressed the strong enemy in the southwest, how could you be frightened by this?" Xu Nuan jokingly said to her.

"Maybe it's because I spent a lot of time in the military camp, minor illnesses and disasters usually get better if I don't care, so I thought that most women are as rough-skinned as me, and this is the first time I've seen a princess like this."

Seeing Zhou Xia's surprised words, Xu Nuan couldn't help laughing, caught a glimpse of the gauze wrapped in Zhou Xia's backpack, recalled the thrill of that night, and asked:

"Have you checked the person who attacked that night?"

"Those men in black can't see their martial arts moves. The princess has been having a high fever for the past few days. I dare not move away even half a step. I'm afraid." Zhou Xia stopped in the middle of speaking, and whispered: "If the princess dies , I'm afraid that Weichen's whole family will not lose their heads."

Xu Nuan knew that Zhou Xia was trying to relax herself, so she didn't ask any more questions. After taking a few sips of tea, she lay down and passed out.

Zhou Xia was not in the room when he woke up again, Xu Nuan only felt that his body was sticky, he must have sweated profusely, and his head seemed to be much clearer.

It's just that I still can't open my eyes, and my body is very tired, as if the bedding on my body is much heavier.

Opening his eyes in a daze, he vaguely saw Yin Ruoyue's face, and only a simple lamp was lit in the room.

Xu Nuan couldn't see Yin Ruoyue with her back to the candle, it was like a dream.

It's just that this dream seemed too real, Yin Ruoyue wiped Xu Nuan's cheeks and arms with a handkerchief.

Xu Nuan lay with half-closed eyes until her cheeks were itchy, then opened her eyes to look. Yin Ruoyue reached out to help Xu Nuan sit up, and gently held Xu Nuan's belt.

Seeing that the face so close was so clear, Xu Nuan put his hand on Yin Ruoyue's arm hesitantly and said, "This dream is so strange."

Yin Ruoyue, who always loves to reply, did not speak. Xu Nuan nestled in her arms. Seeing that Yin Ruoyue really tore off her belt and stretched out her hands to take off her clothes, when the exposed skin touched the cold, Xu Nuan suddenly woke up. .

Xu Nuan stared at Yin Ruoyue in a daze, stretched out her hands to cover her clothes, and asked in puzzlement, "You...what are you doing?"

"The princess has sweat stains all over her body. If you don't wipe it off, it may make her condition worse."

Yin Ruoyue's voice was very flat, as if she was talking about something unimportant.

Such a calm Yin Ruoyue made Xu Nuan very dazed, as if this was a dream again, after all, he had never seen such an emotionless Yin Ruoyue.

On weekdays, she is cunning most of the time, and occasionally she will suddenly be cute. If she is angry, she will be filled with an aura of indifference that should not be approached by strangers.

But Xu Nuan was a little strange to Yin Ruoyue like this.

As if she had no strength, Yin Ruoyue removed Xu Nuan's hand easily, and she carefully took off the thin clothes on her body. When she wiped the handkerchief on her back, it felt a little cold, Xu Nuan subconsciously curled up in Yin Ruoyue's arms, When the confusion disappears.

It seemed to vaguely feel that Yin Ruoyue's cool lips were lightly pressed against her forehead, and then moved away quickly.
