The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 51

Xin Wei didn't believe it: "It's impossible."

Instead of taking the initiative to make peace, inviting troops to take over Anhuai Kingdom was more like what Shen Shuning did.

Shen Xiao had no intention of explaining to her, so he gently and slowly dropped the sunspot in his hand, then stood up and stood in front of her, looking into her questioning eyes.

"Since you don't believe me, there is no need to ask anymore. We will leave for Aurous Hill in two days. You can still see her, so you can ask her in person."

If Shen Shuning invited herself to get married, something must have happened that forced her to do so.

But no matter how she persisted, Shen Xiao was already the emperor, and unlike before, he could stop her from getting married because he was not as powerless as before.

Unless, Shen Xiao couldn't tolerate her anymore.

"She has been married once, and she may not be treated well when she goes to Anhuai." Xin Wei seemed to have a big hand tightly clenching her heart, making her speechless. , it is such a shame for women to inherit from brother to wife."

Shen Xiao was indifferent.

"Sister Huang has a strong temper and will not be bullied easily, and I will not allow An Huai to treat her badly."

"What if I was bullied?"

"Then send out troops to welcome the emperor's sister back."

What he said with certainty was that he had thought of the worst possible escape route and that the marriage was inevitable.

Xin Wei knew in her heart that what he was determined to do could not be changed, but she still lowered her eyebrows and said: "She climbed out of the pile of corpses during the Western Vietnam... I beg you, don't let her get married again."

In this life, she only begged him once, and that time he didn't agree. This time, she didn't have many expectations either.

Shen Xiao moved his eyes away and looked at the mahogany flower-painted hexagonal palace lantern hanging not far behind her.

There was no wind in the palace, but the palace lantern seemed to be shaking slightly.

It was clear that he was not indifferent, but the words he spoke were extremely cold.

"You dare to try to shake up the affairs of the country just because you are in Jieyu."

Xin Wei nodded knowingly, it was useless, her words were of course useless.

When she raised her head, she smiled inexplicably and responded with a mean tone: "You were the one who allowed her to stand on top of the temple in the first place, and now she is infamy. You have made the most of your benevolent and virtuous things, and finally ended up like this!"

Shen Xiao looked at the undisguised sarcastic smile on her face, and there was a hint of anger in her voice: "Presumptuous."

Xin Weiai smiled sadly and said: "I came back because I believed that you really had no choice but to do this after weighing the pros and cons. I believe that you have a good heart and that you are actually affectionate and righteous. I still look forward to you." Give me justice! I was wrong!"

She looked at the dragon pattern on the bright yellow pajamas in front of her, and felt that she was like an ant trying to shake a tree.Not to mention her, even Shen Shuning, who was as noble as the eldest princess, was so powerless in front of the imperial power.

Shen Xiao clenched his hands tightly behind his back, the veins on his forehead popped out, and he tried his best to endure it.

"go out."

But she refused to give up easily: "You are the one who is ungrateful and you are the one who kills the donkey. How can a person like you deserve to set an example for all people and be the master of the world!"

After saying that, she looked at Shen Xiao's extremely ugly face with satisfaction, sneered, and continued: "In this case, I will no longer ask for justice, and I will give up on this."

She knelt down, with a begging posture and a cold tone.

"Please, Your Majesty, give me a reasonable identity and let me accompany Shu Ning as a dowry to Anhuai."

Then it will no longer hinder his eyes and cause him to be suspicious, which is good for everyone.

Shen Xiao grabbed her chin with his long fingers, causing her to look up and meet her cold eyes, her voice trembling with anger.

"You... don't even think about it."

Then he turned away from her face and said coldly: "Jiang Qingyue, you say you believe me, but you don't believe me every word. Let me say it again, the marriage is the result of the imperial sister's insistence, and there is no conclusion yet. When will I Did you say that I agreed? Since you are so unreasonable, from today onwards you will shut yourself up and reflect on yourself. After returning to the palace, you will be confined to Huguang Pavilion. You will not be able to come out without my oral instructions." After saying that, Shen Xiao stepped forward to go around her.

However, the cuffs of his sleeves were pulled. Shen Xiao stopped and looked at her sideways, with a helpless tone in his tone: "Huh?"

Xin Wei changed her sharp attitude just now and lowered her gaze to the ground. She pinched a little bit of material on the sleeves of his shining pajamas with her two fingers and said softly: "I didn't come to tell you this."

"what is that."

"Concubine Liu said that these days you go to the mountains during the day, hold a candle to handle government affairs at night, and dote on Zhang Shuting. You often suffer from headaches when you sleep less than three hours a day. I am here to advise you to take care of yourself..."

Xin Wei looked at his cold expression mid-sentence, and then continued: "I happened to meet King Xuan, and he told me... I was in a hurry, so I spoke uncontrollably."

When she heard the answer of "no conclusion yet", she was ecstatic, and her sense returned a little.At this time, she definitely had to fight for something and couldn't be grounded like this.

Shen Xiao's eyes became darker and darker, and he raised his hand to pull the sleeve out of her hand.

"Next time, use more clever excuses. Such a poor excuse makes you look hypocritical and stupid."

As soon as the cold voice fell, the woman hugged him from behind, her arms tightly hugging his waist.

Shen Xiaoren froze: "Let go."

"I do not."

Shen Xiao had no choice but to grab her wrist and try to break it open, but it was as cold as ice. Her slender wrist was as cold as the thick snow in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

The hand that had grasped her wrist suddenly stopped exerting its force, and the warm palm moved from her wrist to the back of her hand, and her catkins were wrapped in his palm.

This action meant that he had softened his heart. Xin Wei put her face behind his back and said softly: "I have always liked to talk nonsense, and this nonsense has offended many people. The emperor has a tolerance for others, please don't take my words for granted." Don’t worry.”

Shen Xiao patted the back of her hand and motioned for her to let go.

"Go back." His tone was acceptable.

This time she was no longer stubborn, she uncrossed her arms and turned from behind him to face him, "Are you going to stay tonight?"

Zhang Shuting, who he had favored for two days in a row, had no interest in doing anything with her today.

Sure enough, Shen Xiao avoided her hot gaze and repeated, "Go back."

Seeing her reluctantly holding his hand again, Shen Xiao quickly made an excuse: "I'm very tired today, let's try another day."

Xin Wei stopped entangled.

I returned to my room and slept intermittently all night. I always dreamed that Shen Shuning got on the wedding sedan, dressed in red like blood, and married away to that windy and sandy land...

I woke up sweating profusely several times, but I was glad it was just a dream.

At dawn, Xin Wei had just finished breakfast and wanted to go out for a walk with Huai Xi. Several guards came and stood outside her house, guarding the door of her house.

"Your Majesty has decreed that you cannot leave this room, and you cannot allow people to visit you. If you need anything, just let me know."

Xin Wei sat back on the lamp hanging chair in a daze.

Huai Xi was shocked: "Little Master, are you grounded?"

Xin Wei rested her elbows on the table, dragged her chin with her right hand, looked at the guard at the door dimly, and said a weak "hmm".

"Little Master, what were you doing last night? Why were you grounded?!"

Xin Wei held her cheek with one hand instead of holding her cheek with both hands, and her heart was in chaos.

Is the grounding, not letting her out or letting others in, just to punish her, or to prevent her from learning some news?
