Chapter 619: Be prepared for danger in times of peace (23)
Shen Siwei pressed on her back, his eyes seemed even deeper in the dimly lit hall, his lip movements were not skillful, he looked unhurried, but his breathing was heavy beside her ears.
Feeling the warmth and numbness on her lips, Sui Zhao blushed and felt her whole body was burning. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly and she clenched the jade pendant in her hand.
The New Year's Eve breeze blew in from outside the hall, but it couldn't blow away the heat lingering on my cheeks.
Shen Siwei stroked her cheek with his slightly trembling fingers, and gently sucked and bit her lips, his lips and teeth sinking into her lip flesh.
She tilted her head back unconsciously, and her red lips opened slightly the moment they separated. He lifted her chin up with his index finger, and lowered his body a little to pursue her soft lips, kissing and biting them again, his hot breath spraying on her cheeks.
Sui Zhao closed his eyes with trembling eyelashes.
After a while, he stepped away, pressed the corner of her lips with his fingertips, picked her up and put her on the couch, looked at her stunned eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm leaving. Sorry."
After he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of Jiaoyang Palace, his back showing some obvious panic.
Sui Zhao slumped down on the couch and pulled a soft pillow to cover his hot face.
We've already kissed each other, why are you still saying it's rude?
After a while, Shuang Xu came in and saw that her princess had covered her face with a soft pillow again. She stood there for a while, and after she revealed her face, she went forward and untied her hair.
This rosy face and dancing eyes really make people think of something far-fetched.
Sui Zhao glanced at her quietly, then sat down obediently and let her take off his hair.
Shuang Xu looked at the excitement on her face, with the corners of her mouth raised and then suppressed. He finished untying her hair and brought the water to her. After she finished washing, he reminded her to cover herself with the quilt properly before leaving.
Sui Zhao threw himself onto the bed, rolled around twice, then pulled the quilt over his head and fell asleep.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Shen Siwei and the Mingchasi went to Gaozhou again, while Sui Zhao stayed in the capital.
Every day after annoyance to parents, he annoys his brother and sister-in-law, then his grandmother, then his nephews and nieces, and from time to time he goes for a walk in the suburbs.
After the Lantern Festival, she left Beijing and went to Gaozhou to look for Shen Siwei.
There was no rush, and I walked slowly along the way.
An imperial decree granting marriage in December last year brought the Mingchasi out of the shadows and into the open. Similarly, last year, officials in various states and counties discovered that their colleagues had suddenly been replaced, so they became even more cautious, fearing that they would be targeted by the Mingchasi.
When they arrived in Gaozhou, Shen Siwei was no longer there. Sui Zhao would stay in the prefecture or county for a day or two, walking around the streets to inquire about the local officials, and if there were any crimes, he would deal with them.
On February 19, she arrived at Tianyuan County in Jingzhou. The secret guards said that Shen Siwei was now in Tianyuan County.
After a nap, Sui Zhao took Shuang Xu to the street to buy some candied haws.
Shuang Xu bit a candied green date and said, "Miss, this candied haws is quite innovative. It's not hawthorn but green dates."
Sui Zhao nodded, "It's crunchy and delicious."
As they walked, they arrived at the small courtyard rented by Mingchasi. There was someone inside, and it was an acquaintance.
Quan Ling was very surprised to see her and asked respectfully, "Why are you here, young lady?"
"I'm here to look for Shen Siwei. Is he here?" Sui Zhao and Shuang Xu stepped into the door.
"My Lord has gone to do some work and has not returned yet."
"When will he come back?"
"It should be sunset."
"That's not far off. You guys are busy, don't worry about us."
"Yes." Quan Ling led them into the backyard, served them tea and left.
Sui Zhao leaned against Shuang Xu, eating candied haws while looking through the list of officials in various counties in Jingzhou and the gossip he got from secret sources.
At sunset, she stood up and threw the roster and the notebook to Shuang Xu, "Come on, let's go out for a walk."
When he was about to go out, he saw Shen Siwei with his back to him and a dozen secret agents from the Mingchasi facing him.
Shen Siwei looked down at a list and was explaining things to them.
"Jiang Lin, take five people to Dongyu County, Quan Ling, take six people to Donghuai County..."
When the secret agents saw her, they were about to speak, but Sui Zhao put his index finger on his lips, signaling them not to speak.
"Go away."
"Yes, sir!" The secret agents slipped away as fast as if they had greased their feet, and soon there was no one in the front yard.
Shen Siwei looked up, closed the roster, and saw that there was no one in the yard, feeling a little confused.
Sui Zhao put his hands behind his back, rushed out from behind Shen Siwei, and called him: "Shen Luyuan~"
Shen Siwei turned his head suddenly, and was a little bit unbelieving when he saw her. Then he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Shuang Xu also slipped away.
He kissed her cheek, "When did you come?"
"I came on the 16th of the first lunar month, stopped and walked along the way, and just arrived today. Shen Siwei, are you happy?" She asked with a smile, her eyebrows curved.
"Happy." Shen Siwei kissed her face and let her go after a while.
Sui Zhao took out the candied haws from his back and handed it to him. "When I came here, I saw a vendor selling candied haws with green dates. I couldn't help eating them all because they were so delicious. I only left one for you. Do you want to eat it?"
Shen Siwei held her hand and bit off the last one.
Sui Zhao went and threw away the stick.
Shen Siwei held her hand and said, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to dinner."
"I'm not hungry, but it's time for dinner. Let's go. Call all the secret messengers. Today, the princess will treat you. If you pay secretly again, I will ignore you for three days."
"Okay." Shen Siwei leaned over and kissed her again.
She curled her eyes, and when she walked out the door, she grabbed his sleeve and walked away, "Do you want to live next door to me tonight?"
"Ah."
After dinner, the secret messengers returned to the courtyard. Shen Siwei followed Sui Zhao to the inn, and when he followed her in, he closed the door behind him.
Outside the door, Shuang Xu and Menmian looked at each other for a while, then sat cross-legged on the stair railing, flipping through a newly bought book of strange stories.
Sui Zhao walked in, poured himself a cup of tea, and just as he put the cup down, he was hugged by someone.
She tilted her head back and looked at Shen Siwei, "Would you like some tea?"
Shen Siwei turned her around in his arms and said, "No."
Sui Zhao was used to being stared at by his dark and deep eyes. She bent her eyes and asked, "Shen Luyuan, do you want to kiss me?"
She has always been fearless.
Acting as he pleased, Shen Siwei lifted her chin and kissed her. With his other hand, he pressed her back and pressed her tightly into his arms. He kissed and bit her lips eagerly, pressing them harder and harder each time, bringing a tingling sensation that made her heart tremble.
Sui Zhao blinked slowly, his fingers clenching his collar.
Shen Siwei rubbed his fingertips on her delicate and soft cheeks, moved his palms down to hold her waist, and sucked deeply with his lips and teeth.
It was only the second time he kissed her, but he knew how to kiss her many times. Ever since the last time he kissed her, he didn't dare to kiss her again.
Feeling his kiss, Sui Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly and his cheeks flushed, but he still responded to him gently without giving in.
The moment her red lips opened slightly, he probed in along the gap between her lips and kissed her deeply. His breathing became hotter and his breathing became more ambiguous.
Sui Zhao pushed his chest in response, making a soft "hmm", and tried to move back, but he was pressed back by his waist.
