Chapter 696 Cousin Remarries 2
"My subordinate has met the princess."
"Princess, the emperor was very happy when he knew you woke up, and he specially asked his subordinates to send some toys over."
Chang Ji bowed with extreme respect.
When the palace maids presented the things, some servants couldn't help but gasp.
Therefore, he subconsciously ignored the word "subordinate" in Changji's mouth. After all, he was the emperor's guard... calling him subordinate...
Sheng Huan also looked over there, and when he saw those things, he hesitated, "Chang Ji, this... is too expensive."
"The princess is worth a fortune. The emperor said that these things are fine as long as the princess likes them. They are not expensive at all."
Sheng Huan frowned slightly, his eyes now fixed on Chang Ji.
For the first time, she discovered that Changji was so good at speaking.
"Then I'll have to trouble Changji to go back and thank the deceased...Emperor on my behalf."
She seemed to have thought of something, her eyes showing sadness: "I am still in mourning. Your Majesty's brotherly love and sympathy for me, I appreciate it."
When Chang Ji heard this, his respectful expression suddenly turned into horror.
what? !
Brother and sister love! No, princess!
-
royal palace.
Fu Jinmo was dealing with business while hearing Chang Ji's reply.
Hearing a certain word, the man suddenly put down the memorial.
The air pressure around me suddenly dropped coldly.
With a plop, Chang Ji knelt on the ground.
"Brother, sister, love."
The man spoke each word with great emphasis, as if he was squeezing it out from between his teeth.
His heart felt stabbed, as if it was buried by some invisible giant claw.
Chang Ji didn't dare to look up.
-
Night, late at night.
Chaolan Courtyard.
Sheng Huan fell asleep.
At some point, a black figure suddenly appeared beside the bed.
"Huiying." The man grabbed the woman's hand and held it to his lips.
Are you serious? You don't love me anymore?
The black vortex in the man's eyes became heavier and heavier.
Finally, his breath all fell on the back of the woman's white and slender hand.
Scorching hot.
-
The next day.
When Sheng Huan woke up, he accidentally glanced and saw the back of his hand was slightly red.
"Ma'am, why are your hands red?"
Furong was helping Sheng Huan wash up and also saw this scene.
Sheng Huan touched the back of his hand and blinked innocently: "Maybe it was bitten by a mosquito."
Furong obviously believed it when she heard it.
She muttered, "It's really hot these days. I'll light some mosquito repellent incense tonight."
Sheng Huan nodded lazily.
After washing up and having breakfast, Sheng Huan stayed in the room and didn't go anywhere.
-
early morning.
A minister submitted a memorial to the emperor regarding the selection of concubines.
Fu Jinmo refused without question.
Sitting high up, the man lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the palm of his hand, where there was still the warmth of a woman.
But... he tightened his grip, but felt that he couldn't hold on.
-
The next day, when Sheng Huan woke up, the back of his hand was red again.
She didn't take it seriously and went to the main courtyard to pay her respects to the wife of Duke Xiao.
"Good boy." Lady Xiao held Sheng Huan's hand and said, "It's mother and Ye Ze who let you down."
"Mother." Sheng Huan's eyes were blurred with tears. He wiped her tears for her: "My husband has never let me down, and neither have you. My husband defended our country and is a great hero in my heart."
“He will always be a great hero in my heart.”
"Ying'er!" Lady Xiao hugged Sheng Huan: "I already knew this day would come, and I thought I was ready. But, but..."
"My heart aches so much!"
“It hurts so much!”
"Mother, mother." Sheng Huan hugged her back and shed tears: "You still have me, you still have me!"
-
Noon.
Sheng Huan stood by the window looking at the flowers, but she didn't move for a long time, as if she was lost in some thoughts.
Furong and the others looked worried.
"Madam, the Grand Princess is here."
At this moment, a servant came in, bringing a distinguished guest with him.
The woman did not look back, she was already immersed in her own world.
"cousin."
However, a distressed call finally made the woman in front of the window's eyelashes tremble for a moment.
"cousin!"
Sheng Huan finally turned around and saw a graceful and elegant woman.
If it’s not Fu Shirui, then who else could it be?
She looked changed, yet she didn't seem to have changed. She looked much more noble, with a touch of nobility in her previous elegance.
Sheng Huan opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, his wrist was grabbed.
"How come you're so thin? Have you not been eating well recently?"
Sheng Huan shook his head: "Cousin, I ate it."
"You." Fu Shirui pulled Sheng Huan to sit down: "Even if you are sad, you still have to eat. It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet. Can I have a meal at my cousin's place?"
"Yes!" Sheng Huan nodded heavily: "Of course I can."
The two sisters met again after a long separation, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.
As it was getting dark, Fu Shirui still didn't leave.
"The princess's mansion is boring." She said casually: "Cousin. Tonight, I will sleep with you, okay?"
Sheng Huan knew she was worried about him: "Okay."
After she agreed, they both lay down.
Sheng Huan still said: "Cousin, I'm actually fine."
"If you want to cry, I can lend you my shoulder." Fu Shirui didn't believe it and came closer.
Sheng Huan didn't cry.
"Cousin." Sheng Huan said seriously: "I always feel that my husband is still here, he has always been here."
Outside, when Fu Jinmo arrived and heard these words, his finger bones were almost broken.
"Ah?" Fu Shirui touched Sheng Huan's forehead, her worry visible in her eyes.
Sheng Huan smiled at her, indicating that he was fine: "I always feel that my husband is by my side every night. In my dreams, I always feel... that he is always holding my hand."
She smiled, but mist appeared in her eyes.
"He must be reluctant to leave me, that's why he appears in my dreams every night."
Fu Shirui thought that her cousin was like this because she missed her cousin-in-law too much, so she hugged her.
"If General Xiao knew about this, he would hope that you would always be well."
"Ah."
Fu Shirui added: "Cousin, you are still young, your life has just begun, and you will encounter..."
The woman heard this, shook her head, and said softly: "Cousin, I don't want to get married..."
Outside, Fu Jinmo was completely shrouded in shadow.
When a certain word was heard, there was a "click!" and the finger bone was pressed down completely.
Huiying... mistook him for Xiao Ye Ze.
She doesn't plan to get married yet.
Did she really fall in love with Xiao Ye Ze? !
Is that right?! There was a storm in the man’s eyes.
-
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
In the room, Fu Shirui was carefully carried away while she was sleeping.
Fu Shirui in her dream: "..."
Sheng Huan was still sleeping, unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
In the quiet and dark inner room, there was a sudden and almost inaudible sound of footsteps.
Later, a hot and broad palm fell into the woman's hand.
It's scorching hot, yet reassuring.
"husband……"
The sleeping woman felt it, her eyelids moved slightly, and she struggled to wake up.
And her hands had already grasped the warmth in her hands very tightly, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
Fu Jinmo sat beside the bed. He did not leave quietly as he did in the past.
With his other hand, he stroked the loose hair on the woman's forehead.
The man's eyes were fixed on the woman, unwilling to move away even a little.
Huiying...
He responded by holding the woman's hand tightly with his backhand.
At this time, the woman finally opened her eyes.
Her hazy almond-shaped eyes still contained confusion and a hint of hope, but they dimmed instantly when she saw the man beside the bed.
"Prince...cousin?"
