into the bosom

Chapter 194
At night, the eldest princess directly slept in the empress dowager's bedroom.

Xu Jiao lived in the side hall where Wang Wan lived, and the couch between the two was separated by a screen, which made it convenient for them to talk together without affecting their rest.

Xu Jiao only realized today that she still has the habit of recognizing the bed. She tossed and turned for a long time without feeling sleepy. After a while, she closed her eyes in a daze, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. When she opened her eyes suddenly, she saw a black figure standing outside the tent.

She was dressed in snow-white pajamas, her hair was disheveled, even Xu Jiao was fat, and when she loved to watch thrillers, she was so frightened that her scalp tightened, thinking that Sadako had crawled out from somewhere.

After waiting to take a closer look, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but said speechlessly, "Ah Wan, what are you doing? If you scare people, you will scare them to death, okay?"

It was Wang Wan who was standing outside the tent. She obviously didn't expect to scare Xu Jiao, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! A Jiao, I didn't know that I would scare you."

Seeing her uneasy expression, Xu Jiao took a breath and said in a calm tone, "What are you going to do?"

Wang Wan hurriedly smiled and said, "Can I sleep with you?"

Xu Jiao was a little surprised, but she couldn't bear to refuse after all when she looked into her eager eyes, and nodded.

The smile on Wang Wan's face brightened in an instant, and she opened the curtain and climbed onto the couch, and after lying down, she skillfully took Xu Jiao's arm.

The two looked together at the dimly lit tent ceiling under the dim candlelight. "Ajiao, I think Governor Helian is good. He is better than Mr. Li Erlang. If you marry him, you will be happy." After a while, Wang Wan suddenly said.

Xu Jiao was startled, and suddenly turned to look at her.Some complicated emotions emerged in her heart, and her eyes darkened, "How does Ah Wan know that he is good?" After asking, she paused again, parted her lips and smiled, "Why do you keep telling me like this? The thing, could it be that Ah Wan, you are thinking of spring and want to get married?"

There was a hint of teasing in Xu Jiao's tone, but Wang Wan smiled and hugged her arm tighter, "I don't want to get married, I just want you to be happy, A Jiao. No! A Jiao, you must will be happy."

Xu Jiao could feel her sincerity when she said this, and remembered that when she heard her mention Helianshu just now, she immediately recalled that she and Helianshu were standing opposite each other under the tree in the rain, avoiding others, and said Looking at the picture of whispering, the slight sourness in my heart made me feel a little embarrassed. I raised my hand to tuck the quilt, and said softly to Wang Wan, "Okay, it's late at night, go to sleep!"

Wang Wan nodded and closed her eyes next to her.Xu Jiao also closed his eyes.

The night was indeed deep, and the long-overdue drowsiness finally swept over, and Xu Jiao quickly fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she felt in a trance that she was in a dream.

When she opened her eyes in a daze, she felt that the surroundings were a bit dark. She wanted to turn her head, but her neck was stiff, and she didn't listen to her commands very much. There were trees and flowers, and she felt the chill under her feet. She lowered her eyes to look, but she was completely awake.

Half of her body was submerged in the water, and the surrounding area was full of water.Chill and dampness swept over the whole body, is this a dream?Why is it so real?But if it wasn't a dream, how could it be so absurd?

Xu Jiao wanted to get out of the water, but her hands and feet didn't listen to her commands at all.This body didn't seem to be hers, it was completely out of her control.She opened her mouth to call for help, but she couldn't utter a word.

She was terrified, and tears of panic burst from her eyes.
"Ajiao!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, and she recognized the voice, it was Wang Wan.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from far away, and then there was the sound of wading into the water. A pair of warm hands stretched out from behind her, hugged her, and then pulled her to the edge of the water with great effort.

It's Wang Wan.

She was always fragile, Xu Jiao could hear her panting, but she couldn't move at all.Several times, Wang Wan took her and almost fell into the water. From the corner of her eyes, Xu Jiao could see that the snow-white pajamas on her body had been soaked by water, but she still did not give up, she gritted her teeth, ye Drag Xu Jiao back to the shore.

After being able to land on the shore, the two of them almost fell over. The tears in Xu Jiao's eyes rolled down. It was not pain, but joy. She knew that she had escaped a catastrophe again.

But Wang Wan got up, her hair was already half wet, sticking to her face, against the background of the lights in the distance, her face with the corners of her lips pursed looked a bit solemn, she leaned over and grabbed Xu Jiao With his hand, he took off the only hairpin left on her bun, and without any explanation, used the sharp end to pierce Xu Jiao's finger.

It was just a slight pain that was not too obvious, but the bright red blood had already soaked out.Wang Wan gritted her teeth, squeezed hard on the wound, and watched the blood slowly emerge from Xu Jiao's fingers, but Xu Jiao gradually regained consciousness. After a while, her uncontrollable limbs could slowly move. .

"A Wan" she tried to call Wang Wan, her voice was extremely hoarse, but she was able to say, "What's going on?" Wang Wan's movements were very skillful just now, obviously this was not the first time.She must know what's going on, or...she's been through it too?
"It's okay." Wang Wan looked at her, but said slowly.

The corners of Xu Jiao's mouth twitched, wanting to say more.

But Wang Wan shook her head gently towards her, "Ajiao, you can't talk about this, do you understand?"

Xu Jiao paused, and then various complex emotions surged in her eyes, and finally settled into a darkness. She lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes shaded the emotions in her eyes, and she fell silent.

Wang Wan also lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, then helped her up from the ground, and the two walked away without saying a word.

Only then did Xu Jiao realize that she had arrived at the edge of the imperial pond outside Anfu Palace. The night was dark, and they didn't meet anyone on the way back to Anfu Palace. At half o'clock, Hongying who was guarding the outer hall and the two maidservants serving Wang Wan fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Jiao's heart sank heavily, until she changed out of her wet clothes, she sat on the side of the couch and looked straight at Wang Wan.

Wang Wan sighed and said to her, "Sleep first! I will secretly tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess what happened tomorrow."

Xu Jiao looked at her, and after a while, finally nodded.

The two went to the couch separately, Xu Jiao didn't know if Wang Wan could fall asleep, but she didn't dare to close her eyes anymore, listening to the other side of the screen, Wang Wan was lying peacefully, breathing evenly and long, as if she was really asleep.

Under the same night sky, at the other end of the palace city, a palace was still brightly lit.

The door of a clean room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure strode in, opening his mouth and asking anxiously, "How?"

The people standing with their backs in the clean room turned their heads, sighed and shook their heads at the person who came, "It's too close, confusing, and it's really hard to tell which one we are looking for."
