Chapter 166 I'll Be Your Weakness
The commander of the Imperial Guards, Wen Chengye, received an order from Emperor Sheng and went to the back mountain with his men and Jiang Xun to look for someone.
At this time, Shen Jiasui was sitting on a tree in the back mountain, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.
She went into the back mountain tonight on a whim, firstly to finish the play she had performed with Ning'er during the day, and secondly to...
“Miss Shen!”
“Miss Shen!”
Suddenly, bursts of shouting were heard in the forest. Although they were still far away, the forest was quiet and they could be heard clearly.
Shen Jiasui suddenly came to his senses, immediately stood up with the help of the tree trunk, and looked towards the source of the sound.
The terrain here was higher, so she could actually see clusters of warm light scattered in the woods. Someone was holding a torch and looking for her!
Shen Jiasui's eyes lit up, he cleared his throat, and then responded with a breath: "Someone come! I'm here!"
The light in the distance first stagnated, then quickly shrank and quickly came towards Shen Jiasui.
Upon seeing this, Shen Jiasui immediately jumped under the tree and landed steadily on the ground.
Amid the shouts of "Miss Shen", Shen Jiasui suddenly fell to the ground with his clothes on, rolled several times, then stood up and ran towards the source of the voice.
Wen Chengye was holding a torch and walking side by side with Jiang Xun, at the front of everyone.
Just as he was leaving the hall, Eunuch Fushun conveyed the emperor's order, asking him to pay more attention to Lord Jiang's behavior.
Wen Chengye glanced sideways at this moment, and felt that Lord Jiang, who had always been calm and composed, seemed to have lost his composure tonight, and even his steps were particularly hurried.
As soon as they entered the woods, everyone shouted, and after a moment, Miss Shen's voice seemed to be heard from a very far distance.
Before he could even react, Lord Jiang didn't even take the torch, but turned around and ran into the dark forest.
Wen Chengye couldn't help but be secretly curious at this moment. He wondered what kind of reaction from Lord Jiang the emperor wanted to see.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the front, and then a figure broke into the light of the torch.
The person who came had disheveled hair, a stained face, and wrinkled clothes, looking dishevelled.
At this moment, she came here panting, obviously having experienced a lot of twists and turns, but there were no tears on her face.
As soon as she saw them, joy crept up onto her brows and her eyes looked sparkling.
In just a moment, Wen Chengye nodded secretly.
After all, she is a woman from a military family. It is rare that she remained calm even though she was shocked.
"Master Jiang!"
Shen Jiasui saw Jiang Xun at a glance and immediately shouted with joy.
“Miss Shen!”
Jiang Xun's heart trembled, and he hurried forward, blocking the view of others.
When Wen Chengye saw Jiang Xun step forward and block Shen Jiasui completely, he signaled his men to turn around and continued to handle the matter in a businesslike manner:
“Master Jiang, since Miss Shen has been found, let’s go back.”
Jiang Xun's eyes never left Shen Jiasui's face. He moved his fingertips under his sleeves and turned around to say:
"Commander Wen, could you please leave the torch behind? I know the way home and will personally escort Miss Shen back to the inn."
The news of their marriage proposal had already spread throughout the capital, and Wen Chengye also understood what was going on. He immediately handed over the torch in his hand and said in a deep voice:
"In this case, Lord Jiang, please be careful on your journey."
"Walk!"
At Wen Chengye's command, the imperial guards quickly followed him and left. The footsteps gradually faded away, and soon even the light of the torches could no longer be seen.
Jiang Xun then turned around and saw Shen Jiasui looking up at him honestly, and he shouted with a guilty conscience:
"Ah Xun."
If Jiang Xun had a thousand words to say just now, now that Shen Jiasui looked at him eagerly, he immediately became speechless.
"Year after year..."
He called out softly, seemingly helpless yet doting.
"Are you injured?"
Shen Jiasui shook her head hastily, glanced at her dirty dress, and said with a smile, "I rolled on the ground by myself, so I have to pretend to be nice."
Jiang Xun shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand to pick the dead leaves from Shen Jiasui's hair, then reached into his arms and took out a snow-white handkerchief.
"Wipe your face first."
As Jiang Xun spoke, he leaned forward slightly, got close to Shen Jiasui's face, and used a handkerchief to wipe the stains on her face.
There was a sudden silence all around.
In the darkness of night, the dancing flames on the torches created a patchwork of light and dark all around.
Shen Jiasui raised her head slightly, and fire flickered in her eyes, as if there were two small flames hidden.
She saw that Jiang Xun's expression was very focused, his eyes fixed on her cheek without blinking, and his hands moved very gently, the handkerchief brushing against her skin, making her feel tingling.
Shen Jiasui felt that the moment was very wonderful, and in her heart she didn't want to interrupt it, but her cheeks were really itchy, so she couldn't help but whispered:
"Ah Xun, it's a little itchy."
Jiang Xun's movements suddenly stopped, and he looked up and met Shen Jiasui's eyes.
Perhaps it was because the torch was too close, or Jiang Xun's gaze was too scorching, but Shen Jiasui suddenly felt his face getting hot.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiang Xun gathered the handkerchief in his hand and gently pressed it forward again, but this time, it fell lightly on Shen Jiasui's lips.
Shen Jiasui's eyelashes trembled, and she felt Jiang Xun's fingertips gently pressing her soft lips through the thin handkerchief, and then stroking and caressing them, lingering.
She was overwhelmed by this sudden intimacy, a blush instantly spread from her cheeks to her neck, causing her to lower her eyebrows in panic, but she still couldn't bear to step away.
"Year after year..."
Jiang Xun called out softly, pursed his lips slightly, but the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
If Shen Jiasui looked up at this moment, he would see his red ears, curved eyebrows, and the throbbing and desire in his eyes.
It was quiet all around, with only the surrounding woods and the torches in hand as witnesses of this hidden ambiguity.
Jiang Xun was sensible after all, and he slowly withdrew his hand after a moment.
After being rubbed, Shen Jiasui's thin lips now looked as if lightly touched with cinnabar, rosy and delicate.
But she finally got her "freedom" and instinctively bit it out of shyness.
When Jiang Xun's eyes fell upon this scene, he felt a surge of heat sweeping through his body instantly, and the desire in his heart continued to rise, even more than when he was drugged.
His face flushed, and he quickly took a few steps back, turning his head away and not daring to look again.
Shen Jiasui had no idea of the twists and turns in Jiang Xun's mind. She pursed her lips, her face burning, yet she could not hide her shyness.
Love is wordless, but once you get close to each other, it will grow wildly.
Gurgle Gurgle——
In this hot atmosphere, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded
Shen Jiasui immediately covered his stomach with his hands, looking embarrassed.
I'm hungry.
She didn't even have time for dinner and ran off to the ravine.
Jiang Xun took a series of deep breaths to suppress the heat surging in his lower abdomen, reached out from his arms and took out another handkerchief, then quickly walked to Shen Jiasui.
"I know you must not have eaten anything."
Shen Jiasui was surprised when he heard that, and saw Jiang Xun opening the handkerchief layer by layer, revealing several exquisite pastries.
"It's hard to take care of other things, so Sui Sui will fill her stomach first."
Jiang Xun smiled and handed the pastry to Shen Jiasui.
Shen Jiasui didn't expect Jiang Xun to be so thoughtful. He was very touched and took the cake and started eating it immediately.
Jiang Xun lowered his eyes and saw Shen Jiasui eating seriously. He felt distressed and could not hide his love for her. He whispered:
"Sui Sui, you don't have to do this for me."
Shen Jiasui raised his head upon hearing this, and raised the corner of his mouth, "I knew that nothing can be hidden from Axun."
Today's opportunity to overthrow King Xiang is rare, and the plan must be carried out.
But Shen Jiasui knew clearly that no matter success or failure today, Emperor Sheng would certainly notice that Jiang Xun was the one stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
Since ancient times, even if a minister has the ability to rule the world, he cannot escape the control of the emperor, otherwise... he will not last long.
Therefore, as a minister, Jiang Xun needs to reveal his flaws and weaknesses appropriately, so that Emperor Sheng feels that Jiang Xun is still in his control.
Shen Jiasui had not discussed the plan of entering the forest tonight with Jiang Xun. He knew that given Jiang Xun's feelings for him, he would also be worried and anxious from the bottom of his heart.
And only Ning'er knows his whereabouts.
She had agreed with Ning'er that she could only reveal her whereabouts in front of Emperor Sheng. In this way, Jiang Xun's anxiety would naturally be seen by Emperor Sheng.
It was just that Ning'er was wronged and he would have to bear the stigma of "bullying" her, but it was also to clear the relationship between them in front of outsiders.
After thinking for a while, Shen Jiasui swallowed the last bite of cake, raised his head and smiled:
"Ah Xun, I have thick skin and strong muscles, and my brain is not bad either, so let me be your weak spot!"
