"I haven't done this before, because I didn't dare to offend His Highness, but recently..." Sicang put down the tea cup and thought seriously, "After Your Highness said that we were in love, I dared not to think about it in my heart."
Yun Zishu held her chin and looked at him: "Really?"
Sicang nodded calmly: "I dare not deceive His Highness."
Yun Zishu said oh, not sure if she believed it or not.
Outside the window, light rain was hitting the treetops, and there was a misty mist. There was a stream of rain blowing in through the window lattice, bringing with it an obvious chilly atmosphere.
A rain caused the temperature to drop by several degrees.
Sicang stood up and closed the window, and took Yun Zishu's robe to put on her, "It is late autumn now, and the weather is getting colder. Your Highness should pay attention to keeping warm."
"Sicang, today the Queen Mother mentioned the matter between me and you." Yun Zishu looked at him with her chin in her hands, and smiled casually, "She is worried that you will not love her, and will betray me and hurt me because of your love."
Can't love, or hate because of love?
Sicang's expression was strange for a moment, and then he said seriously: "It is human nature for the Queen Mother to have such thoughts."
In the eyes of the superiors, a Shadow Pavilion commander is just a shadow guard who is driven by others, and holding the status of a commander may not necessarily make him any more noble, while the princess is a serious person, and their identities are very different——
It didn't even matter to the superiors, Sicang himself never thought he was worthy of Yun Zishu.
Just like the princess and the attendant, no one would think that they are a perfect match.
What's more, Sicang has great martial arts skills and is in charge of the royal family's intelligence. He can ignore the emperor's orders today, and it doesn't seem to be a surprise to betray the princess in the future.
Therefore, the Queen Mother's concerns are understandable.
"But don't worry, Your Highness." Sicang sat down again, closer to Yun Zishu, and reached out to hold her hand, "When we get to Dongyou, the humble post will regularly send people to send information back, and the information will be sent directly to Feng Kingdom.
In the hands of my uncle, let the Queen Mother and the Feng family know that you are safe in Dongyou."
Yun Zishu leaned on him and looked at the drizzle outside the window, with a slightly lazy expression: "It's raining really well. If it rains harder, it rains for a few more days, and everyone will be able to stay calm."
Rest at home and don’t think about so many messy things.”
Sicang raised his hand and stroked her soft hair, with deep affection in his eyes.
The light rain fell almost all night and didn't stop until dawn the next day.
Outside, the treetops, roof ridges, and bluestones were all wet everywhere. When the morning light came out, the mansion was illuminated with glittering and translucent lights.
Rainy days make people feel lazy all over.
Yun Zishu lay on the bed and didn't want to get up. She rarely stayed in bed. Si Cang ordered Leng Yue and Leng Shuang to guard him while he went out.
He had a lot of things to do in the past two days. He had to discuss matters with Fu Nanchuan almost every two days. He didn't know what they were discussing.
"Your Highness, are you feeling tired?" Leng Yue walked over with a basin in hand and helped Yun Zishu wash her hands and face, "I'll give you a massage."
Yun Zishu chuckled: "I'm so young, but you talk like an old lady."
"That's what Your Highness said." Leng Yue wrinkled her nose, "Aren't you tired at a young age? His Highness spends all day long dealing with those people with evil intentions. He is much more tired than us as subordinates."
Yun Zishu turned over on the bed, grabbed the pillow and lay on her stomach: "Just press it."
"Okay." Leng Yue walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and pressed Yun Zishu's neck gently, "My hands are very strong. If Your Highness is in pain, just speak up. Please be gentler."
Yun Zishu hummed: "I haven't moved my hands for a long time. I forgot that I am also a martial artist. You don't have to worry about strong hands. The bigger the better."
Leng Yue smiled, said nothing, and focused on massaging her from neck to shoulders with just the right amount of force.
Leng Shuang stood in front of the window and watched, silent and silent, always like a shadow, looking in all directions and listening in all directions, always paying attention to the movements around her. Even in the princess's mansion, she never relaxed her vigilance.
Leng Yue pressed it and found that Yun Zishu fell asleep again.
"It's not good for Your Highness to be like this." Leng Yue whispered, "You trust someone so unreservedly and have no sense of precaution. What should you do if someone plots against you?"
Especially for a martial arts practitioner like her, if she wanted to do something at this time, her Highness would have no defense in this posture.
"You were transferred here by Sicang." Yun Zishu's voice was lazy, "I trust Sicang, so I naturally trust you."
Leng Yue was surprised: "Your Highness is not asleep?"
"I fell asleep, but when you spoke in my ear, I woke up naturally." Yun Zishu turned her head and glanced at her, "How deeply do you think I slept?"
Leng Yue said coquettishly: "Although this subordinate was transferred here by the Commander-in-Chief, Your Highness should still be a little on guard, a little, but not too much."
Yun Zishu laughed: "Doesn't it feel good to be trusted by others?"
"No." Leng Yue moved her hands down and started to press her back, "It's just that people's hearts can't stand the test. There are too many people in this world who were loyal at first and later betrayed for various reasons. Your Highness can trust one person.
, but you cannot put your life in the hands of the other party. At this time, if your subordinates want to do harm to His Highness, Your Highness will not even have the strength to resist."
"Really?" Yun Zishu's lips curled up slightly, "How about you give it a try?"
Leng Yue paused and coughed lightly: "I don't dare."
"Why?"
"The Lord Commander will skin me."
Yun Zishu sighed: "Look, you have no reason to be against me at all."
Leng Yue frowned: "Your Highness..."
"Leng Yue, some people can always be trusted." Yun Zishu seemed to be sighing, "Sicang is the person I can trust for the rest of my life. Although I am a woman, I must avenge my grudges, but it does not mean that I am narrow-minded.
It is impossible for a person to live on guard against others all the time in his life. If there is not even one truly trustworthy person around him, wouldn’t it be a huge failure?"
After saying these words, Yun Zishu couldn't help but think of his father.
If the father had not killed the queen, but had still treated each other as guests after learning the truth, and the husband and wife respected each other, how could the queen mother have left him? How could the Feng family become a thorn in his side that kept him awake at night?
If the Queen was here, the Feng family would not be disloyal to him even if it was just for the Queen and their eldest son.
It was obviously a win-win chess game, but because of his inferiority complex, uneasiness, suspicion and other factors, the queen died young and his eldest son died young.
Now, the seeds of hatred have been planted in Yun Zishu's heart.
If she could successfully pull her father off that chair in the future, would she see regret on his face?
