Ning Wan wanted to play her final role well, but her body was already exhausted.

As it rained, my hands began to lose strength.

The white chess piece first slipped from Ning Wan's palm, and then fell to the floor. The round chess piece spun playfully, rolled to a corner of the carriage, then shook its body and quietly hid itself.

The entire movement was incredibly smooth, as if it had been rehearsed a thousand times.

The sudden change made the carriage extremely quiet.

Almost instantly, Shen Jingyi and Xiaoju's eyes fell on Ning Wan's hand.

Ning Wan didn't expect that her hands would become weak, and even her body became a little limp.

Being stared at by the two men like this, she actually felt her hand begin to feel slightly hot, just like when one's face turns red with shame after being caught doing something wrong.

She wanted to pretend nothing happened, but she felt her hands starting to rebel, and it was difficult for her to even hold her fingers together.

Ning Wan calmly put down her hand, tucked it back into her sleeve, and moved her body so that her back could better lean against the wall of the car.

She still didn't like the look that only appeared when life and death were about to happen.

The carriage was too quiet, but Xiaoju couldn't bear it anymore and lowered her head. She couldn't help sobbing, but she quickly suppressed it.

Ning Wan couldn't stand it anymore.

Although the two of them didn't say anything, it was the fact that they didn't say anything that made it seem even more wrong.

Ning Wan gave an awkward yet polite smile, "My hands are a little cold."

Ning Wan decided to break the deadlock herself.

Ning Wan's explanation seemed reasonable, but it was also like trying to cover up one's mistake.

Shen Jingyi couldn't laugh, nor could he cry.

I can't even believe Ning Wan's lies.

At this moment, Shen Jingyi seemed like a wooden man without any emotion, with a stern face.

Looking at Ning Wan who was deliberately trying to hide herself, he glanced at the hot water bottle in Ning Wan's arms.

Thinking about how she had to warm her hands for a long time before taking the next step, how could he believe that her hands were just cold?

Shen Jingyi placed the chess piece held between his fingers into a container beside him.

The sound of chess pieces colliding reminded Xiaoju.

She looked at the corner again, picked up the chess piece that she thought was well hidden, and put it back into the container.

Xiaoju's movements were so light that not a single sound was heard.

"Well, then I won't go down." Shen Jingyi said.

Start putting away the chess pieces.

One by one, the white chess pieces were received by Shen Jingyi in his palm and then put back.

Ning Wan nodded and said casually, "Let's wait until the weather is better before it starts raining again."

Xiaoqi counted the days: I don’t know what to say, the weather will be good, but when that time comes, I’m afraid there will be no chance to play chess.

Shen Jingyi paused briefly and continued to collect the chess pieces.

But just when Ning Wan thought the matter was about to pass, Shen Jingyi spoke.

Shen Jingyi: “The princess has deceived Shen, what should I do?”

Ning Wan thought carefully and fell silent.

And Ning Wan's silence seemed to give Shen Jingyi a silent answer.

Everything in front of me is a dead end.

She will die. Perhaps the unfulfilled promise should not have been made in the first place.

"I don't know." "Maybe... then you can find someone else to play chess with you?"

Ning Wan really didn't know what to say.

She couldn't survive this winter and the weather would only get colder, so she made a very sincere suggestion.

Just at this moment, Shen Jingyi took away the last chess piece on the chessboard, stood up, and sat down next to Ning Wan.

He didn't care that Xiaoju was still watching in the carriage, and directly held Ning Wan's hand hidden in her sleeve, "But I just want to play chess with the princess and wait until the weather is good. If the princess is unwilling, I will wait."

Ning Wan's desire to pull her hand back disappeared in an instant.

Then, she felt her heart twitch, but she didn't feel any pain. Instead, the corners of her eyes were inexplicably moist.

Forget it, just wait a little longer. When she dies, time will naturally dilute his feelings for me.

…

Perhaps God was blocking the way, and soon snowflakes began to fall.

The driver looked at the snow in front of him, frowned, and stopped the carriage. "Your Highness, it's snowing."

Ning Wan was stunned and lifted the curtain to take a look. Just at this moment, a cold wind blew, carrying some snowflakes that fell on Ning Wan's hair.

Some of it even drifted onto Shen Jingyi's hair.

Xiaoju quickly stepped forward to lower the curtain, and was about to reach out to help Ning Wan brush the snow off her hair.

However, Shen Jingyi, who was beside Ning Wan, was obviously one step faster.

I only saw Shen Jingyi's hands quickly twisting the snow off his hair.

Seeing that someone had done it, Xiaoju naturally stopped moving and just watched from the side, waiting for Her Royal Highness the Princess's next arrangements.

"Your Highness, the snow will probably continue to fall for some time. Why don't you stay at General Wu's place for a while?" The driver knew that rushing to Jing State to meet the other emperor was an urgent matter.

But current safety is more important.

If something unexpected happened on the road, he wouldn't be able to compensate for it even if he had ten lives.

Ning Wan thought for a while, and just when the driver thought Ning Wan would turn around and go back to General Wu, Ning Wan spoke.

"No, let's get on with our journey, as fast as possible."

Ning Wan was naive, thinking that if the snow continued to fall, they would not be able to continue their journey.

She also wanted to visit Jingguo.

But Shen Jingyi didn't understand what he said.

Even Xiaoju was very confused.

She looked at the princess who was stubbornly trying to hurry on and advised, "Princess, it will take a long time to walk on this snowy road. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the inn. It's better to..."

Xiaoju obviously wanted to return the same way, but Ning Wan shook her head.

Shen Jingyi looked at Ning Wan who refused to listen and asked, "Are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Shen Jingyi didn't like Wu Qi, but he couldn't bear to see Ning Wan ruining her body. After the snow, the weather would be even colder.

Even though there were hot water bottles and stoves prepared in the carriage, these things were absolutely not enough to keep out the cold snow.

It’s just a few days. If you can’t wait, just think that he is unlucky.

At least she didn't have to suffer.

Shen Jingyi was about to ask the driver to turn around, but Ning Wan grabbed Shen Jingyi's hand and said, "Yes, and the snow isn't that heavy right now. If we speed up, we can get to the next resting place."

Seeing Ning Wan was so stubborn, Shen Jingyi didn't want to listen.

It would be of no benefit to Ning Wan to continue on her journey, so Shen Jingyi once again tried to make Ning Wan sleep.

"There's no time." Suddenly, Ning Wan spoke again.

The fingers scratched Shen Jingyi's palm twice, and Shen Jingyi's palm curled up slightly.

Ning Wan: "If we don't leave now, when the snow gets heavy, we really won't be able to leave."
