C1: 1 : TRÙNG SINH
Spring rain gently fell, lightning slashed across the sky outside the window, scaring people, the purple-blue light shone into the room for a moment and then stopped.
On the bed, Shen Xu's eyebrows were furrowed, her eyes were tightly closed, and her eyelashes trembled as if she were dreaming of something unsettling.
Then, she almost cried out in desperation, at the same time as the sound of thunder resounded in the hall.
“Bui Van Khiem –”
Shen Xu suddenly opened her eyes, sat up in horror, her lively eyes now turned into pain, the corners of her eyes were red and filled with tears.
A bolt of lightning slashed across the horizon, and according to the light, Shen Xu saw below him the Bac Lam golden silk mattress bed that only in the royal palace, the top of his head was red tassels, decorated in the interior layout. The rooms are the same as when they didn't go to the Xiongnu to mingle.
She looked at the familiar room in front of her eyes, as if she hadn't woken up from a dream, the haze in her eyes did not diminish a bit.
She… has returned to the palace?
Before he had time to think, the door of the inner hall was pushed open by someone from outside.
Shen Xu raised her head, didn't wait for her to see clearly that the person in front of her had heard the sarcastic voice in her ears, "The elder sister's body is really precious, falling into the water but still in a coma for five or six hours. just woke up?"
(*one hour = 2 hours)
After saying that, the woman smiled softly, her voice carried a bit of cruelty, "I thought that the elder sister still hadn't woken up!"
This voice was very familiar, for a short time, Shen Xu couldn't remember who, she slowly followed the sound and looked over, saw a woman wearing a long blue skirt, slightly tilted her chin, walking lightly. past them, the maids went inside.
The person who came was the biological daughter of the current Queen Mother, the sister of the same mother as His Majesty, the princess from top to bottom who served as an ancestor - Shen Dien.
Seeing clearly who the person was coming, Shen Xu's eyebrows were slightly knitted to the point that it was difficult to detect, and there was confusion in his eyes.
Logically, she should have just returned from the battlefield of Mo Bac, why did she fall into the water since when?
What's more, she remembers that year when she went to Xiongnu to reconcile, Shen Dien and his crown prince An Duong Hou also planned to get married, a few days before becoming married, they went to the land of Cong Chau with the crown prince, why? appear here now?
Thinking of this, Shen Xu's heart became more and more suspicious, and in a short time, he also forgot to take back his gaze.
Seeing Shen Xu staring at her, Shen Yuan got goosebumps, feeling that Shen Xu's eyes today are not the same as before, but nowhere else is she speechless.
Come to think of it, on normal days, Shen Xu always lowered her eyelids and drooped eyes, didn't dare to breathe, why would she dare to publicly stare at her like that? Even a lowly thing born of a slut is worth it? Did you slip into the lake during the day, so your head is already waterlogged?
Thinking about it, Shen Yuan's gorgeous makeup face showed anger, and when he saw those eyes, he felt guilty. "What are you looking at, look at this princess who poked your eyes out, can this princess be a lowly person like you can look straight?" She hates these eyes of Shen Xu the most. "Don't think that today the princess calls you a big sister that you can eat at the same table with this princess, let alone you, even your mother, that wretched thing in front of this princess. It's only worth carrying shoes!" Hearing that, Shen Xu slowly withdrew his gaze, his hand hidden under his sleeve did not know when it was clenched into a fist, his fingernails pressed deeply into his palm, leaving a thin crescent moon-shaped trace with a trace of blood.
If it wasn't for her mother's death before her mother's death, she told her to protect her younger brother no matter what, how could she let Shen Yan kick her under her feet, letting her humiliate her mother like that? . Shen Xu secretly clenched his teeth, his fingers trembling with anger. Four years ago, for the sake of the two countries' peace, she had to go to reconcile, marry to the faraway Xiongnu, now the two sides are fighting, she returned to Bac Lam again, becoming an abandoned person, if not for Bui Van Khiem risked his life to protect her, fearing that she was now a wild spirit lying under the golden sands.
Thinking so, she raised her head to look at Shen Dien, "Bui Van Khiem..." What's up? If Shen Xu didn't mention Bui Van Khiem, she would have forgotten, today is not Bui Van Khiem interfering in other people's affairs, saving Shen Xu, perhaps Shen Xu has lost his life, and there is no 'blessing' this gas'. Without waiting for Shen Xu to finish speaking, Shen Yan smiled and said, "Today this palace is here to bring good news to my sister. " Having said that, she pretended to be dead and saluted, her eyes filled with joy when people met with misfortune that she didn't hide. "Today, you have to congratulate your sister, you still don't know, today, you accidentally fell into the water in Ngu Hoa Vien because of luck, I heard that the Xiongnu emissary passed by. past, seeing the amazing face of the sister, now still praying in front of the emperor! Perhaps very soon, the sister must go to the Xiongnu to reconcile, the good fortune of the billions of ordinary people cannot be compared.
" There was jealousy in Shen Dien's eyes again, this face of Shen Xu making people crazy is also a crime, but more or less now it is thanks to this face. After hearing this, Shen Xu frowned, raised his head to look at Shen Yuan, his eyes revealed some confusion, and for a moment did not know what Shen Yuan meant. Seeing that Shen Xu didn't say a word, Shen Yuan couldn't help but smile again, 'reassured' and continued, "Sister sister need not be afraid, mother loves you, please let me bring my maidservant with me. , can also be friends with billion.
" While speaking, waved his hand, the palace man next to him understood and immediately pulled people in from outside. Seeing the woman kneeling on the ground, Shen Xu's heart trembled, the confusion in her eyes deepened. Just because the person kneeling on the ground was none other than the maidservant beside her, Lam Lang died in the Xiongnu. She still clearly remembers that Lam Lang was buried by her own hands, unable to come back to life. She couldn't believe what was happening in front of her eyes, if it weren't for the pain in her chest that was so real, she was afraid that she would have thought that the four years of living and dying in the Xiongnu had been nothing but a dream.
While thinking, while absentmindedly she saw herself in the mirror, her eyes stopped, and for a moment, she didn't know what expression to show. Just see, the girl's face in the jade bone mirror, her face is like a painting, her eyes are as flexible as the spring lake in March, a frown or a smile is also very brilliant, shining like the moon in the sky, incomparably beautiful. She knew that she had already passed the age of marriage, but now clearly reflected in the mirror was her face before she had come to the Xiongnu to reunite. After a while, Shen Xu returned to his senses, fell into a deep state of mind, took a deep breath, slowly raised his head to face Shen Yan's eyes, trying to calm his voice, saying each word, "Now, is it the eighth year of Minh Tuyen?" Hearing that, Shen Yan burst into laughter, "I said Shen Xu, are you really not scared of being stupid? Or did you fall into the water today, so your head is really waterlogged?" Shen Xu didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on Shen Yuan's face and did not leave, his eyes were cold as ice, making people afraid.
is now… the sixth year of Minh Tuyen. " Shen Xu was silent for a while, her eyelashes trembled slightly, suppressing the mixed emotions in her eyes, and the corner of her mouth involuntarily revealed a bitter smile. Just as she thought, she was alive again. She was reincarnated four years ago, at that time, she had not yet come to the Xiongnu to reconcile, still the unpopular princess Linh An in the imperial palace of Bac Lam. Shen Yan stood on the side for unknown reasons, but felt that this smile of Shen Xu was very strange, it was clearly the same person, but in her heart, she did not understand why there was some fear, it was really strange. . She whispered a word of 'unlucky' quietly and then angrily carried her out of the Shen Xu temple.
After Shen Yan left, Lin Lang wiped his tears and quickly jumped from the ground to the edge of Shen Xu's bed, "Princess, how are you, are you okay? The servant went to find a doctor to examine the princess.
"
Without waiting for Shen Xu to say anything, Lam Lang's tears fell, "It's because the servant is useless, on the way to invite the royal physician, he encountered Princess Kinh An, delaying your health.
"
Shen Xu looked down at the girl on the edge of the bed, and couldn't help but panic, suddenly appearing in front of her eyes the days of living dependent on each other in the Xiongnu and Lam Lang.
After a long time, Shen Xu regained his senses, reached out to wipe the tears from her face, and gently comforted her, "What are you crying for, am I not fine.
"
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the whole city knows that she is the only daughter of the former emperor who has not been engaged in marriage, the only princess in the palace who is not loved.
In her previous life, the only value of her use was to sacrifice for the sake of Bac Lam, marrying off to the faraway Xiongnu, in exchange for four years of peace for the country. Remember that time, the Queen Mother forced her to reconcile and said, "As a princess of Bac Lam, it is common sense to sacrifice for the great cause of the country.
Remember that time, the Queen Mother forced her to reconcile and said, "As a princess of Bac Lam, it is common sense to sacrifice for the great cause of the country.
If the great cause of the country isn't enough for you to sacrifice yourself, then what about your younger brother?"
It's sarcastic.
In this life, she just wants to live for herself, protect herself, protect her brother's safety and survival, most importantly, can't blend in to that faraway place.
After a long time, Shen Xu lowered her eyes and opened her mouth, "Lin Lang, do you know who saved me today?"
Lam Lang carefully recalled what happened today, opened his mouth and said, "If the servant is not mistaken, that person must be General Bui.
"
“General Bui? Bui Van Khiem?”
Hearing that, a flash of surprise appeared on Shen Xu's face, was it Bui Van Khiem who was born before she fell into the water?
Shen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly, thoughtfully thinking, in these two lifetimes, she owed a lot to Bui Van Khiem, telling her how to repay the debt.
Lam Lang did not know what to think in Shen Xu's heart, seeing her surprised expression, he thought that he had said something wrong.
Everyone knows, so far, great General Bui Van Khiem is unusually happy and sad, evil and docile, everyone says he is a wicked god who can't be poked.
In the previous life, Shen Xu believed in rumors, had no relationship with this great general, and did not dare to look at it more than once.
But until that day, on the golden sand of Mac Bac, she saw the cold-blooded man in the rumor that desperately had to protect her.
Thinking so, Shen Xu's eyes flashed.
You can use your life to protect an ordinary bearded person like her, how can it be like a rumor?
As you can see, rumors are just rumors.
Shen Xu frowned, her fist clenched, what should she do now to prevent this disaster from falling on her head again?
Unless…
Shen Xu suddenly realized something, hurriedly raised his head, like a drowning person who suddenly caught a log, staggered and ran out.
Perhaps it was due to the panic in her heart, her steps also staggered, and in the blink of an eye, she pushed open the electric door, her whole body lost focus and fell to the ground.
I thought that the next thing would be the feeling of pain, but did not expect to firmly fall into an embrace with a faint wood scent.
Four eyes looked at each other.
The man has long hair tied up high, his five senses are sharp and clear, his eyebrows are bright, and under the corner of his eyes is a very attractive mole, at first glance like the person in the picture, just those deep black eyes. cold and scared people, and the people in Mac Bac before are like two different people.
After a while, the man turned his eyes away, almost moving, his eyes were cold, "Still not letting go?"
Shen Xu's mind was blank, her eyes were bright and heartwarming as she looked at him, her eyelashes fluttering as if she was both nervous and insecure.
After a long time, she said softly, "I don't want to get along, is the general willing to marry me?"
