"Why bring him here?" Just when Su Tong was about to lie down, a deep voice came from the door, with a bit of embarrassment and confusion...
Su Tong was stunned for a moment, and turned around to meet Xuanyuan Hao's slightly cold eyes.
He walked in slowly, closed the door behind him, took a few steps closer, and then asked calmly: "Why did you bring him here?"
He has decided to break away from the royal family and does not want to get involved with anyone in the royal family! But now that she has brought Xuanyuan Shuo here... he can't kick his biological brother out, can he?
It’s really… very difficult!
"Someone in the palace wants to kill him." Su Tong replied smoothly, walked to the bed, took off his coat, and threw it on the stool next to him, as if he was taking a nap.
"In the palace?" Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows and murmured again. After thinking for a while, the corners of his lips involuntarily raised an arc, and he approached with a hint of teasing, "Okay, tell me, how do you do this?
Did you run into the palace again?"
His question made Su Tong's heart tremble. Although there was a clear smile in his voice, Su Tong clearly heard the dangerous meaning in it.
Indeed, breaking into the palace at this juncture... her behavior was reckless!
"Haha..." She faced him with a playful smile. Through the silver mask, she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. Su Tong could only smile at him in a flattering way. After all, she couldn't reach out to hit the smiling person!
While she was giggling, her mind was also running at high speed - what reason should she find to excuse her? She couldn't say that she wanted to go to the palace to inquire about it today, could she? Anyway, she definitely couldn't let him know her actions tomorrow!
When you go to a dangerous and perverted place like the Imperial Tomb, just leave it to her alone!
"Su Tong, do you want to finish your answer first and then laugh?" Looking at her silly smile, Xuanyuan Hao couldn't help but frown, but most of the anger in his heart dissipated in an instant, and he could only sigh helplessly.
"Okay, okay!" Su Tong nodded stupidly. A strategy that could fool Xuanyuan Hao's intelligence flashed through his mind. He smiled slyly and blurted out, "I went to the palace to find musical instruments!"
Afraid that Xuanyuan Hao wouldn't believe it, Su Tong continued to talk nonsense to increase the credibility of his words: "I accidentally lost the flute you gave me last time. Without it... you know, without it, I am nothing."
Any fighting power! So...I will go to the palace to find a replacement..."
"There are no flutes outside the palace?" Xuanyuan Hao glanced at Su Tong, and suddenly interrupted, still clearly not believing it!
Because he knows her, he doesn't believe her.
In his eyes: People like Su Tong would never go to a place like the palace just for a flute!
"We have to find a decent one!" Su Tong stood up, seeing that he didn't believe it, so she just threw it out at the top of her lungs, "The material and shape you had last time cost a few cents."
Can the bamboo flute replace it?"
"Does it have to be like last time?" His tone actually softened a bit.
Su Tong nodded blankly.
"Here." As if by magic, he smiled slightly, suddenly pulled out a snow-white piccolo from his sleeve, and handed it to her.
"Isn't this..." Su Tong was startled. Wasn't this what she dropped? It turned out that he picked it up...
Depend on!
Since he picked it up, why didn't he know how to return it to her earlier? Has the education here lagged behind to the point where "it's not enough to pick up gold", and it's lagging behind in "returning things to their original owners"?
"I originally thought that you wouldn't be able to use it when you are with me, so..." Xuanyuan Hao paused, and a trace of bitterness could not help but rise at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly suppressed it, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Take it.
, I still owe you a room full of flutes. If you want it anytime, just tell me and don’t go to that kind of place again."
The flute is her self-defense weapon. She can control others with the sound of the flute. He knows this.
He originally thought that by letting her stay by his side, he could protect her, no longer put her in danger, and no longer have the need to defend herself... However, he still couldn't do it after all.
At this point, Xuanyuan Hao is ashamed.
"Yes." Su Tong nodded and responded casually. Su Tong took the flute and played with it fondly. After a long time, he raised his head and keenly caught the flash of loneliness in his eyes.
Her heart couldn't help but feel cold. With just one glance, she understood something, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
She knew his silent protection.
She also knew that if she stayed in this inn obediently, she would definitely be treated like a paradise. However, how could she bear to let him go out alone to run around in danger?
She is not a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken!
"You should rest." Seeing that she had undressed just now and was about to go to bed, Xuanyuan Hao calmed down his emotions, confessed, turned around and wanted to leave.
Tomorrow is the day of his father's burial, and he still has a lot of things to do - he cannot let foreign envoys openly covet the dynasty's territory, and he cannot let Xuanyuan Jin be too proud!
"Xuanyuan Hao!" Looking at his arrogant back, Su Tong suddenly panicked, and reflexively stood up from the edge of the bed, hugged his waist from behind, and pressed her face against his generous back.
She suddenly felt a little reluctant... Where to go after tomorrow?
Xuanyuan Hao's body couldn't help but stiffen. Her active attachment made him vaguely aware of something, and his face could not help but darken. He opened her intertwined fingers, turned around and carried her to him: "
