Shi Yan told himself: She was a weak woman who was abducted by a villain. What did she do wrong? How can you blame her?
"Mianmian, it's my fault for not taking good care of you. It's not your fault... Don't be afraid, Mianmian. I won't scold you or be cruel to you, okay?"
Xu Mian seemed to hear someone calling her. She moved her hands and muttered, "A Yan..."
Shi Yan was delighted and stroked her face, "Mianmian, did you hear me?"
Xu Mian touched his cheek with her weak little hand. She was really dizzy, "A Yan..."
"It's me, Mianmian, are you dizzy?"
"Yeah."
Shi Yan kissed her hair, temples, and forehead, "Mianmian, don't be anxious or nervous from now on. Be calm and you will be fine."
Xu Mian raised her dazed eyes, "A Yan, I'm sorry."
"Mianmian is right. I was impulsive yesterday and shouldn't have been mean to you. I apologize to you and I won't be angry anymore, okay?"
Xu Mian suddenly remembered that she heard the secret conversation between Shi Jun and Wei Xin last night, and hurriedly reminded her, "A Yan, hurry up, there are too many people."
He touched her head and comforted her, "I know everything, don't worry, Mianmian, I will take you away from here when I find a chance."
Xu Mian became anxious again, angry that Shi Jun lied to her, even though she had made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with him.
What should she choose now?
She sobbed anxiously, Shi Yan laid her down and kissed her tears gently, "Mianmian, dear, don't cry."
Just like the spring rain gently falling on her face, he tried his best to soothe her anxiety.
"A Yan, I can't go with you..."
Her voice, with a little sob, although not loud, was clearly transmitted to his ears. Every word was like piercing countless fine needles in his heart, and the pain made the veins on his hands stand out.
He held her tightly, pretending to ignore her willful words.
In his palm were her tears and his tears, merging together.
He gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Mianmian, don't talk nonsense, you are my crown princess, you are my wife, just remember this, understand?"
Xu Mian's snow-white arms pushed him weakly, and she moaned, "Ayan, hurry up."
She was worried that Shi Jun would come back soon, and how could Shi Yan defeat him alone.
Sweat beads fell from his temples, and he coaxed, "It's okay, Mianmian, be good, it will be fine in a while."
Outside the window, the midday sun was high in the sky, like a scorching fireball.
"Mianmian, be good, when I come to see you again, you must eat on time, otherwise how can you run?"
Shi Yan gently rubbed the fetal hair on Xu Mian's forehead with his fingertips. At this time, her originally pale cheeks were covered with a faint cherry blossom powder.
Xu Mian panted and begged, "A Yan, hurry up..."
"Okay, I'll go on horseback, don't worry."
Shi Yan straightened his robe, fastened his belt, turned his head to look at Xu Mian, and lowered his voice, "Remember to eat well."
After she replied, "Got it."
He opened the door and walked out.
He glanced at the sky, and did not leave the bamboo garden, but went for a walk around.
Just as he arrived at the back of the main house, he heard a sound and hurriedly hid beside the dark wall. He saw the housekeeper sneaking out of a room and locked the door.
Looking at his thief-like appearance, and thinking of his greedy appearance, could it be that Shi Jun's vault is here?
Originally, he wanted to knock the housekeeper unconscious and take the key to take a look, but he suddenly heard the hurried sound of horse hooves entering the house.
The prince has returned, and the housekeeper is so anxious that he is at a loss. He secretly made this key, and if Shi Jun finds out he is here, he will be in danger.
So he also hid in the corner, and happened to bump into Shi Yan, who knocked him out quickly, took the key from his waist, and went around to the side to leave the bamboo garden.
But he saw Shi Jun rushing into the bamboo garden.
Shi Jun slowed down his pace, always feeling that the atmosphere was not right. After going around the main house, he was relieved to see that the door of the study was locked.
Just as he was about to go to the corner, he heard a loud noise from the main house. Worried about Xu Mian, he hurried back to the main house.
He pushed the door open and walked in, "Mian Mian, are you awake?"
There was a broken teacup on the ground.
Xu Mian said weakly, "I want to drink some water. I'm so thirsty."
Shi Jun went to the cabinet beside the bed and poured her some water. Xu Mian glanced at the courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shi Yan leaving quickly.
"Mian Mian, drink some."
He helped her drink the water and found irregular red marks on her collarbone. Was it him who did it yesterday morning?
Xu Mian turned away with a guilty conscience and hid in his arms. Shi Jun stroked her hair and said softly, "Mian Mian, are you hungry? Let's eat a good nourishing diet and we will definitely be able to replenish our qi and blood."
Xu Mian wanted to ask, why did you lie to me, why did you recruit soldiers and horses?
But if she asked that, Shi Jun would suspect that Shi Yan was coming, so she swallowed it back.
Shi Jun is a considerate person. He hugged her and reached out to touch the mattress. When his palm touched a place, his sword-like brows suddenly frowned.
"I want to sleep for a while."
Xu Mian tried to sleep again in an evasive way. Shi Jun behind her looked suspicious and got up to check if there was anything wrong.
The imperial concubine's chair also moved. The blanket underneath was washed yesterday because of blood stains. Now it was covered with a dense goose down blanket.
He clearly saw two deep round marks there, like the shape of knees.
Xu Mian had cold sweat on his back. He turned around and saw him squatting on the ground pondering the blanket. He hurriedly shouted, "I want to eat. I'm hungry."
Shi Jun slowly got up with a creepy evil smile at the corner of his lips.
Shi Yan, you are here, right? Don't even think about leaving here alive this time.
Turning around, pretending to be calm, "Come here, lunch."
Two maids brought in bowls and plates. Shi Jun didn't let Xu Mian get off the bed. He brought a low kang table with a table full of delicious food. Xu Mian was really hungry.
"Come, Mian Mian, drink some nourishing soup first. This is Siwu Soup, which contains Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong, White Peony Root, and Rehmannia Glutinosa, which can replenish qi and blood."
He blew the soup to her lips. Xu Mian observed his reaction. He should not have found anything wrong, right?
It looked very calm, and Xu Mian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eat some beef stewed with donkey-hide gelatin to replenish your blood."
"You can eat it too."
Shi Jun ate a piece of it himself and forced a smile, "The new chef is not bad. I also want to find another chef who can make snacks, and make exquisite snacks for you every day."
The little white bear and the little puppy ran in, and Shi Jun threw some food on the plate for them and put it on the ground.
He is really nice, but he doesn't want to live an anonymous life with me.
Xu Mian hinted, "Ajun, I hate deception the most."
Shi Jun cut a piece of millet cake and fed it to her, "Mianmian, everything I do is so that we can live a stable life."
Xu Mian pushed his hand away impatiently, "You promised me that you would live in anonymity, no longer be a traitor, and not compete with Ayan for the throne."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red with anger, and she pursed her lips and glared at him.
Shi Jun put down the spoon and held her gently in his arms, "Mianmian, you don't have to worry about anything."
Why is it always this sentence? Shi Yan said this, and Shi Jun also said this!
Xu Mian thought, at worst, she would not want both of them. She was really tired of worrying.
"Ajun, if you break your oath, I will not forgive you and will leave you, understand?"
Shi Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know, don't worry, be good, eat some more walnuts and steamed longans, and when you are no longer dizzy, let's go horseback riding in the suburbs, okay?"
