Chapter 50 Hairpin
After Wu Chun finished explaining to Grandma Zhou, he chatted with Shen Ying for a few words.
The flowers and trees were swaying, and the dead branches were hanging down from the eaves like a waterfall. The scattered green leaves were the only life in the cold palace. The wind blew, and the wind chimes rang softly. Shen Ying looked up and happened to see Xiao Huaiwen outside the wall through the flower window.
Shen Ying withdrew her eyes.
"... Now I don't know what to call you, or should I just call you Queen. The Shen Dynasty is destroyed, I shouldn't be alive here, I'm alive only for one person. I pride myself on never feeling guilty towards anyone in the past 16 years, but now I only feel guilty towards him."
"He shouldn't have surrendered to the Xie family, but for my sake, he asked to surrender, and was insulted and scolded by the soldiers of the previous dynasty. A small number of soldiers committed suicide, and the rest surrendered, and Xiao Huaiwen..." Shen Ying seemed to be choking, "If he had fought, would the Shen Dynasty not have perished so easily?"
Wu Chun held her hand and comforted her, "Let them fight for power. You have been raised in a deep palace since you were a child. These things are not something you can figure out overnight. In the future, Xiao Huaiwen may not be as bad as you think if he follows Xie Sui. Although Xie Sui is cruel and ruthless, he keeps his word. As long as Xiao Huaiwen is loyal to him, he will not make things difficult for Xiao Huaiwen. "
Shen Ying lowered her head.
The princess of the former dynasty, who always had an innocent and sweet smile on her face, seemed to have grown up overnight. In just a few months, she has gone through ten years. It is difficult to see a smile on her face anymore.
The mansion has collapsed, and everything needs to be rebuilt. At the time of the change of dynasty, the situation is turbulent, Xiyou is eyeing covetously, and there are internal and external troubles. It is not a good time.
Wu Chun patted Shen Ying's hand and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Xie Sui.
She subconsciously looked up at the sky. It was dark. Soon the palace would light up.
"Your Majesty," said a group of servants.
Xie Sui held Wu Chun's hand and frowned quickly. "Why are your hands so cold? Why are you wearing so little to come to the cold palace?"
He unhappily took off his cloak, shook it open and put it on Wu Chun. The cloak that fit his body made Wu Chun look very petite. He clasped his hands and Wu Chun was wrapped up like a dumpling.
Xie Sui looked at her with a smile on his lips.
"What are you laughing at? Childish." Wu Chun looked at the cloak that fell at her feet. "It's dragging on the ground so much. How can I walk..."
"Ah!" She exclaimed.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Sui lifted her up and said, "I'll go."
"This place is so far from Kunning Palace, can you really do it?"
Xie Sui stopped and looked at her meaningfully, "Don't you know whether I can do it or not?"
"You are so frivolous!"
Shen Ying looked at their receding backs through the gaps in the stained glass window, and actually felt a little jealous. If he was not named Xie, not an emperor, and she was not a princess of Southern Xinjiang, they would just be an ordinary couple - they would be happy.
In the eyes of outsiders, they thought they were a couple quarreling, but Wu Chun didn't think so.
She was testing how much Xie Sui liked her.
Two eunuchs were holding lights in the road ahead. The lights seemed lonely and incomparable in the gradually darkening night. The tall palace walls on both sides were continuous, and the palace passage seemed to lead to the bloody mouth of an invisible beast.
Wu Chun reached out from inside her cloak and played with the dragon embroidered with gold thread on Xie Sui's collar. Xie Sui glanced at him but did not stop him. She whispered, "Who is childish?"
"Can we go to the Qianqing Palace? It's too boring to stay in the Kunning Palace."
Xie Sui looked at her and said calmly, "The Qianqing Palace will only be more boring than the Kunning Palace."
Wu Chun grabbed the claw of the golden dragon and pouted, "You didn't raise any little palace maids in the Qianqing Palace, did you?"
Xie Sui lowered her voice, "Didn't you ask me to recruit concubines a few days ago? Are you not happy that I raised little palace maids?"
"Then I won't go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, so as not to disturb the beautiful scene of His Majesty and his lady under the moon and flowers..." Wu Chun said slowly.
"Lead the way to the Palace of Heavenly Purity." Xie Sui suddenly ordered loudly, and the two eunuchs in front said yes, and turned at the fork in the road beside them, which was the road to the Palace of Heavenly Purity .
Xie Sui bowed his head and praised, "You are so promising, you are also jealous."
Wu Chun buried half of his face in his cloak, neither saying no nor yes, leaving Xie Sui to guess.
She nestled in his arms like a docile and well-behaved little cat, and he felt as if his heart was gently stroked by a feather. Fearing that she was uncomfortable, he slightly adjusted his posture.
He had to admit that when she calmed down and withdrew all her claws and sharpness towards him, he could not control his heart and make it beat less violently. Then a desire to destroy her arose again, wanting to destroy her and make her belong to him alone forever.
When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Xie Sui suddenly received an urgent matter to deal with, so he put Wu Chun aside. Wu Chun looked unhappy and stood in the middle of the hall without moving. Xie
Sui knew it at a glance, "What happened today?" He waved his hand, "Come and sit down."
Wu Chun sat over, and the place where she sat could allow her to see the entire content of the memorial on the desk. Xie Sui still thought she was sitting too far away, so he brought her to sit on his lap.
Wu Chun saw a square jade seal with a dragon relief in his hand, so she came over and played with it in her hand.
She knew it was the emperor's jade seal.
Xie Sui moved.
She thought he was going to blame her, saying that not everything here could be touched, but he tapped her head with the handle of his brush, "Behave yourself, don't move around, you'll be the one who gets angry."
Just like that?
Wu Chun was a little spoiled. In her impression, Xie Sui was always cold and seldom warm, but now he was as gentle as ice and snow melting. Apart from restricting her actions, he obeyed her in everything, which made her panic.
If she felt a trace of warmth in this cold palace wall like a cage, would she still be able to leave decisively?

No, don't be fooled by his appearance, these are all means to keep her in this cage forever.
She said to herself coldly.
Wu Chun stopped moving, and Xie Sui began to review the memorials. Wu Chun felt bored and yawned in his arms. Xie Sui paused his pen, took out a peeled tangerine from the fruit plate at hand, and fed it to Wu Chun.
It was just a slice of tangerine, but she chewed it slowly for a long time, her cheeks puffed up like a fish blowing bubbles, Xie Sui couldn't help pinching it, Wu Chun cried out in pain, turned her face to the side, and held two fruit pits between her teeth. Xie Sui pinched her chin and caught the fruit pits she spit out with his palm.
After collecting the fruit pits, Xie Sui lowered his head and kissed her, tasting her bit by bit, tossing her lips and tongue, and when they separated, a blushing silver thread was drawn between their lips.
Xie Sui flicked her red earlobe, "So sweet."
Xie Sui's cheeks flushed slightly, and he put Wu Chun on the table. Wu Chun curled up and said in resistance, "I don't want to do that."
"But you always say that, every time..."
"Shut up!"
Wu Chun covered her ears, and Xie Sui grabbed her wrists, twisted her back, and peeled her out in a few strokes. She seemed to have grown a lot, more graceful than before, white as lychees, undulating like mountains, and straight and slender legs. Xie Sui leaned over,
but she stretched her legs to step on him. His pupils shrank for a moment, a few blue veins protruded from his forehead, and he let out an unbearable gasp.
She looked at him with a hint of determination.
Xie Sui's breath was burning, and he did not allow her to resist. His voice was slightly deep, "Have I been too indulgent to you recently?"
The difference in Wu Chun's soles was too much to ignore. She retracted her feet, and he took the opportunity to get close to her, leaving kisses on her body, trying to melt her with his warmth, but she could not warm her up, so Xie Sui bent down.
Realizing what he was going to do, Wu Chun screamed in surprise, "No!"
Unfortunately, it was too late.
...
When she woke up again, she was still in the Qianqing Palace, and two palace maids helped her wash and change clothes.
Wu Chun pretended to be careless and dropped the jade that Xie Sui had carved for several months on the side of his bookshelf to the ground. With a crisp sound, the broken jade burst out.
The maid said in embarrassment: "My queen, this is something that His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to touch. You dropped it. What should I do?"

. "Then... just tell him that I dropped it, and I will protect you. I will leave this place for you to clean up. I want to go back to Kunning Palace."
The maid was so anxious that she almost cried, but neither the queen nor the emperor dared to disobey. After sending Wuchun to the sedan chair, they began to pick up the broken jade.
After Xie Sui left the court, he went directly to Kunning Palace.
His first question was to ask the maid next to him, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Wu Chun said, "I'm not hurt. I don't want to see you today, you can go back." After that, Wu Chun sat by the window and fiddled with the jewelry in the dressing box.
Xie Sui's face became visibly ugly.
The servants looked at him and dared not speak.
The Queen was too bold. The first thing His Majesty did after finishing his official business was to come to Kunning Palace. This is the Son of Heaven. Since he came, it is a blessing. It would be fine if she didn't cherish him, but she dared to reject His Majesty so blatantly.
Xie Sui flicked his sleeves, and the servants retreated with a look.
"What do you think of me? Your toy? Someone you can summon and send away at will?"
Wu Chun took a golden hairpin and compared it to the mirror. "So what? I will treat you the way you treat me."
Xie Sui pursed his lips. "I have never treated you as a toy."
The bronze mirror reflected Xie Sui leaning forward slightly, with his arms on both sides of Wu Chun.
His breath was getting closer, and Wu Chun couldn't help tightening the hand holding the hairpin. "But if I don't agree with you, you will be cold and mean to me."
Xie Sui's hand played with the black hair on Wu Chun's neck, and the soft hair passed through his fingertips. "I just like you. If you don't like me, I will force you to love me and make you unable to leave me."
Wu Chun raised the hairpin suddenly and pointed it at his neck. Xie Sui was shocked and said in a sharp voice: "What are you doing?"
"Let me go."
"You know I know medical skills. If I lived here, I would have a hundred, a thousand ways to kill myself..." Seeing that Xie Sui was about to snatch the hairpin, Wu Chun stabbed the hairpin into his skin. A straight line of blood flowed down, and he shouted, "Don't touch me!"
Xie Sui sneered, "Do you think it's so easy to die? If you really want to die, I won't let you die easily!"
But his expression could no longer remain calm. His hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves, ready to snatch the hairpin from Wu Chun's hand at any time, and his eyes were locked on her slender neck!
She questioned: "I ask you, are you willing to give up this kingdom for me? Are you willing to hand over the throne you have been planning for many years? If you can only choose one between my kingdom and yours, will you choose me?"
Xie Sui's eyes gradually became crazy, "I want both the kingdom and you, why not?"
Wu Chun was not surprised, because his eyes, which had been wide open due to the sharp question, gradually became calm, "See, you are unwilling to give up. Coincidentally, I am also unwilling to give up the free life outside the palace. This is the only way we can do."
Xie Sui snatched the hairpin and threw it on the ground, splashing like sparks from beads.
"You are not allowed to die, not in front of me." Xie Sui pulled her up, smiling an especially creepy smile, like the King Yan who was demanding her life in the folk legend. "Isn't this good? I can see you every day, and make love with you every day. As long as I am the Son of Heaven, no one dares to covet you. You will always be mine, and we will spend the rest of our lives together. Isn't this good?"
"Let me go!" This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team.
He pinched Wu Chun's wrist and left a circle of red marks. "It's impossible for me to let go. You were so considerate to me before, why did everything change after my triumphant return that winter? What did you dream about? Our past lives?"
Wu Chun couldn't tell him all this, about how much she had given. She said how sincere she was to him, but in return she was pierced by thousands of arrows from the tower?
How ridiculous.
Xie Sui suddenly seemed to have thought of something, "Didn't you say you wanted to see Zheng Zhou? It just so happens that he also wants to see you. I will take you to see him today, to see how the person who wanted you to leave here is living a life worse than death."
