During this trip to the hot springs, the most excited person was not Qin Rushuang or Xie Xun, but Qingzhi, who was carrying a basket and two bowls of sugar water.
Great! There is no one else but the princess and the prince!
Hey, no, wait, there seems to be an extra little maid like her...
Qingzhi was a little worried. How should the prince and princess be alone together later?
This question is really difficult for the simple-minded Qingzhi.
Until he walked to the hot spring, Qingzhi couldn't think of a way.
This hot spring is surrounded by layers of bamboo forest and is very quiet and secluded.
What's rare is that this hot spring was artificially constructed and turned into two springs. In the middle is a narrow jasper walkway that separates the two pools.
Qingzhi was satisfied, it was good, no matter how shy the princess was, she could just have a separate bath, and there seemed to be a different style across the jasper walkway?
Qingzhi suddenly felt blessed and put the basket on the aisle: "The princess's slave is hungry! Go first! Please protect the princess from entering the water!"
After saying that, she didn't care how treasonous it was for her to let the prince serve the princess, and just ran away.
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun were left staring at each other with big eyes.
Qin Rushuang was actually very confused on the way. If she really arrived at the hot spring and Xie Xun wanted to go into the water, how should she refuse?
At this time, Qingzhi left, and she hesitated even more.
Driving Xie Xun away seemed a bit ignorant. After all, it was Xie Xun who brought her here, but together...
"I......"
"you......"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, let's talk first." Qin Rushuang turned away. The atmosphere beside the steamy hot spring became so strange.
"I'm afraid Qingzhi won't be able to come for a while. It's not safe for you to slide by the pool while you are pregnant with your child."
"Then let's go back."
"It's better for me, the king, to help you go down."
Qin Rushuang's face suddenly turned red.
This... how to support this?
After Xie Xun finished speaking, he felt a little annoyed and explained: "The weather is still cold these days, so you can just take off your coat and put on a new one when the green branches come."
"Okay, okay." Qin Rushuang stuttered a little, and then thought about why the hot spring is still cold?
But she was too embarrassed to say it, so she took off her robe obediently.
Qin Rushuang was wearing a thin gauze dress, which even showed a bit of the color of her skin. Xie Xun didn't know where to start to help her.
Qin Rushuang was also embarrassed, so she took off her shoes and socks and stood by the pool waiting. Xie Xun didn't move for a long time. Under her long skirt, her round toes like jade moved uneasily.
Xie Xun took a deep breath and said no disrespect.
He helped Qin Rushuang up and led her slowly down into the pool.
He said that he was really worried about Qin Rushuang slipping, so he stayed close to him, and even went down first, explored the depth of the pool, and then slowly helped Qin Rushuang down.
Qin Rushuang exhaled after going to the hot spring, feeling so comfortable.
Then I found that Xie Xun was standing in the pool to help him, and his clothes were all wet.
Without giving Qin Rushuang a chance to speak, Xie Xun quickly left the pool: "Ahem, I'll be watching over you. Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
"How about..." Qin Rushuang bit her lips several times, and her thin lips were almost bleeding, and then she finally said: "Why don't the prince stay there, Qingzhi will be back soon."
Xie Xun paused as he was about to leave, then came back.
Qin Rushuang leaned against Biyu on the walkway and couldn't see what was happening behind him, but he heard the sound of rushing water coming from the pool next door.
The two of them sat in the pool with their backs facing each other, separated by a foot-wide jasper walkway.
The air was eerily quiet, and no one spoke.
Qin Rushuang secretly prayed that Qingzhi would come back, even chatting with her, to break the quiet atmosphere.
But Qingzhi obviously didn't hear her young lady's call.
A stick of incense passed by, but the green branch did not come back.
Two sticks of incense passed, but the green branches still didn't come back.
Qin Rushuang couldn't sit still.
Xie Xun also felt her uneasiness, "Is it hot? There is sugar water behind your back. It should be slightly cool. It's a good time to drink it."
"Oh..." Qin Rushuang said slowly: "Qingzhi prepared two bowls, Moyu's belongs to the prince, and herbal tea. If the prince is thirsty, you are welcome."
That's what he said, but neither of them made any move.
Qin Rushuang was waiting for Xie Xun to get it first.
Xie Xun is also waiting for him.
After waiting for a while, Qin Rushuang's mouth felt a little dry and she finally couldn't help but turn slightly to get the sugar water.
But when he reached out, what he touched was Xie Xun's fingertips.
Perhaps because of the hot spring bath, Xie Xun's fingertips were even hotter than usual, almost burning Qin Rushuang's heart.
Her first reaction was to stop her hand, but her fingertips were entangled by Xie Xun's fingers.
"I will give it to you."
Qin Rushuang turned slightly sideways and couldn't see Xie Xun's hands, but she could feel the water in the pool behind her moving.
Xie Xun didn't know what to think. He never let go of the fingertips wrapped around her. Instead, he used his other hand to hold the sugar water and said, "Drink."
Qin Rushuang hurriedly took it and drank a few sips of slightly cold sugar water before relaxing.
"My lord, give it a try too. That girl is very good at her craftsmanship."
"Um."
Xie Xun took the ink jade bowl and drank the herbal tea inside in a few sips.
He also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if Qingzhi still didn't come after soaking for a while, he would go up and find a maid to help Qin Rushuang change clothes.
The slender and warm arms under the light gauze clothes just now appeared in his mind, and the soft touch that he held them could not be dissipated for a long time.
Thinking of this, my heart became hot again.
It stands to reason that drinking herbal tea should relieve fever, but for some reason Xie Xun's body was getting hotter and hotter, and he even felt dizzy.
He hadn't soaked in hot springs a few times, so he thought it was a normal phenomenon. The first thing that came to his mind was that he felt a little dizzy. Qin Rushuang might not be able to soak anymore.
"Are you okay? Do you feel dizzy?"
Qin Rushuang was a little confused by his question. The water temperature in this pool was not high, and the water in the pool had not been soaked for long. How could she faint?
The sound of rushing water came from behind, indicating that Xie Xun had already stood up.
He walked to Qin Rushuang's pool and picked her up without saying a word.
"Ah!" Qin Rushuang exclaimed. Just as she was about to ask Xie Xun what was wrong, she saw that the man looked a little abnormal and his eyes seemed to be bloodshot.
Xie Xun already felt something was wrong with him.
This feeling was all too familiar to him.
It was exactly the same as the night when Qin Rushuang plotted against him.
He was indeed angry for a moment, but quickly forced himself to wake up.
Qin Rushuang is already pregnant, and there is no benefit in letting this happen.
No matter what, he had to take the person away safely before he lost consciousness.
Qin Rushuang also realized at this moment that Xie Xun had been plotted by others.
She frowned, thinking of the child in her belly. Who knows what Xie Xun would do if he was unconscious, so she frowned and said: "Your Majesty, put me down. I can go back on my own. I remember there is a small river to the east. The water of the river
Cold."
Qin Rushuang didn't need to say anything else, Xie Xun already understood what she meant.
"Be careful. When you go back, tell the secret guard to pick me up."
Because the hot spring is private, the secret guard did not follow.
After saying that, he stumbled and ran eastward.
His consciousness became more and more blurred. As he ran, a woman wearing gauze suddenly appeared in front of him.
The woman opened and closed her mouth: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Before his consciousness dissipated, Xie Xun's mind was a little confused. Wasn't Qin Rushuang already gone...
But if it were her, she should be able to rest assured...
Xie Xun put down the last trace of his guard and fell into the arms of a person as gentle as jade.
