Chapter 119: Shu'er should be of the same mind and heart as Brother Yan

Spring Pavilion.

Concubine Su Xianrou was frightened and fell into a deep sleep after taking the calming soup.

Xiao Nanyan tucked in the corners of the quilt for his mother, reminded Chaolu and Ningshuang to pay attention to the windproofing of the window lattices, and then slowly walked out of the room.

As soon as he returned to the main hall, Helian Shu arrived accompanied by several palace maids.

"Brother Yan!"

Her face was filled with concern:

"I heard my aunt was frightened, so I came to visit her. The chaos in the palace today was really scary. Fortunately, everyone is safe and sound..."

Before she finished speaking, she had already walked forward and stretched out her arm to grab his arm.

Xiao Nanyan's body slightly turned, and his wide sleeves passed over her fingertips like flowing clouds.

Helian Shu missed her target, staggered half a step, and her carefully painted eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

She glanced at Xiyan and Manluo standing on both sides. Although they both lowered their heads, she still felt a little embarrassed.

Xiao Nanyan smiled distantly, avoiding her touch, and turned to sit beside the table:

"Mother has passed away. Thank you Shu'er for your concern. I will convey your wishes to you."

Helian Shu smiled awkwardly:

"Shu'er was really scared just now. These Northern Cang assassins were too presumptuous to actually sneak into the palace and assassinate us. Those bad guys really deserve to die."

"Hmm? Shu'er also thinks they deserved to die?" Xiao Nanyue raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Of course they dare to hurt Brother Yan. They must be tired of living."

"That's good! It seems that what Shu'er is thinking is also what I am thinking."

Helian Shu saw that the smile in his eyes had not faded, and she could not help but feel happy. She twisted the handkerchief lightly with her fingertips:

"We will be together soon... Shu'er will certainly share the same mindset with Brother Yan."

Her face flushed red as she looked up at him:

The candlelight cast a warm golden glow on Xiao Nanyue's brow bones, his nose was straight like a sharp jade peak, and when he pursed his thin lips, he exuded a hint of coldness. However, the slightly upturned corners of his eyes added a bit of allure and charm.

Since the day the thirteen-year-old girl first fell in love, Xiao Nanyan caught his eye.

Even though he was like the lone pine tree on the snowy mountain of Beicang - cold and lonely, she couldn't help but want to pick him up and hold him in her arms.

Whenever Helian Shu thought that in a few months, she would be sharing a bed with the most handsome man in the apocalypse, making love and sleeping in each other's arms, she felt her throat tighten and her heart beat like a drum.

"Shu'er, it's getting late. You should go back soon! I'm a little tired!"

Xiao Nanyan didn't respond to her words, but ordered her to leave in a casual manner.

"... Then, Brother Yan, please go to bed early. I will take my leave now."

"Um!"

Xiao Nanyan snorted through his nose.

The blush on Helian Shu's face had not yet faded, but she was completely chilled by the order to leave. The handkerchief clenched in her fingertips was twisted into a knot, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was uglier than crying.

Manluo lowered her head and stared at the blue bricks, digging her nails into her palms, trying hard to hold back her smile.

Helian Shu was still thinking that Xiao Nanyan would get up and see her off, but Xiao Nanyan's eyes were lowered, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

She had no choice but to stand up awkwardly, and when she turned around, her eyes were fixed on Xiyan as if they were poisoned.

But she stood with her head bowed and her eyelashes drooping. Was it this face as pure as a lotus in water that attracted Xiao Nanyue and her prince brother?

When Jia Yan was having a good time, Xiyan was leaving the hall. She saw with her own eyes that Xiao Nanyan's eyes were always following her back, and he slowly retracted them until she turned the corner of the corridor. The passion in his eyes was something she had never seen before in all the years she had known Xiao Nanyan.

What made her even more angry was that her royal brother Helian Feng actually protected this maid in every possible way.

How could she not hate this humble servant girl who had seduced both her future husband and her own brother?

If she is allowed to stay in the Regent's Palace, it will definitely be a serious threat.

"Princess, take care!"

Manluo and Xiyan bowed and saluted, their voices as clear as spring water.

Helian Shu's back was straight, but her fingertips were clenched into claws in her sleeves.

When she turned around again, she had already suppressed all the resentment and murderous intent in her eyes, and a bright smile appeared on her face:

"You two—" She deliberately dragged out the last word, her eyes sweeping across Xiyan and Manluo's faces:

"Serve the prince well and be careful. If you fail to take good care of him, you will be held accountable!"

After saying this, she turned and left, the hem of her skirt embroidered with phoenixes sweeping across the blue bricks, bringing with it a wisp of fragrant wind.

Manluo stared at her back, and when she walked away, she smiled and leaned over to Xiyan's ear, covering her lips and whispering:

"Look at her crazy face just now. She was so flirty, but she got a cold shoulder. It's hilarious!"

Xiyan rolled her eyes at her and lowered her eyes again.

After Helian Shu left, the hall fell into a deserted atmosphere.

Xiao Nanyan leaned back in his chair, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

Han Xiao, Ye Ren, Xi Yan and Man Luo looked at each other and didn't dare to breathe.

The candlelight in the hall flickered. Xiao Nanyan glanced at the half-open window frame and suddenly raised his eyes:

"The Concubine Dowager has gone to bed. No one should disturb her. There are so many Yulin soldiers protecting her outside. You don't need to stand guard. Please go away!"
