Concubine Yan, count yourself as cruel

It's the coldest month of winter, and the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. In Prince Xuan's palace, the housekeeper had already ordered them to hang up brand new red lanterns, symbolizing prosperity and welcoming the arrival of the new year.

The sky is still dark, and the earth is still sleeping. There is still a small red candle left in the bedroom, burning quietly, and the soft light drives away the darkness in the room.

Shuangshuang, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes. She was sleeping on the inside. Xiao Yixuan hugged her and blocked her from the light of the candlelight. Shuangshuang closed her eyes, raised her head, and saw Xiao Yixuan sleeping with his eyes closed.

After looking at him for a long time, Shuangshuang suddenly realized that this was the first time she had seen him sleeping.

In the past, every time she woke up, he would be watching her. This time, it was finally her turn to wake up before him.

By the dim candlelight in the room, Shuangshuang opened her beautiful eyes and carefully looked at the man in front of her. He had an impeccably handsome face, the sword-shaped eyebrows flying into his temples were full of heroism, and his delicate phoenix eyes were lightly closed.

, but she could imagine the tenderness contained in it, just like every time he looked at her. Looking at him like this, Shuangshuang couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and describe his beautiful facial features bit by bit.

Her fingertips rested on his plump lips, Shuangshuang pursed her lips, thinking of every kiss she had with him, sometimes extremely forceful, sometimes extremely gentle, no matter what kind, it would always make her head dizzy,

Like floating in the clouds.

This man has countless advantages, gentleness, consideration, and carefulness... Although he is very sinister, often pretending to be innocent, plotting against her secretly, and sometimes being very domineering, it is undeniable that his sincerity towards her is not the same.

A little flaw.

From the moment they first met, he moved her too much in his own way. She was bullied by Xiao Hanlin, but he showed up in time to save her; Xiao Tinghao beat her, and it was he who sent her news late at night.

The swollen ointment; Bai Yunxi designed to frame her, and it was he who exposed her lies in front of the emperor and sought justice for her; he built Luoshuang Garden for her, gave her love, respect, and freedom...

He has been silently paying for her, even if she deliberately provokes and gets angry with him, in the end, he still tolerates her without any regrets, without even an unhappy look on his face...

Unknowingly, tears slipped silently from her eyes, blurring her vision and soaking his clothes.

This man loves her so much, and she loves him equally.

Suddenly, Shuangshuang remembered that she had never said she loved him, but he had already told her.

Although they already know each other's feelings, if you love someone, you still have to say it loudly to him and let him hear with his own ears that she loves him.

She sleeps more these days, and he is always with her. As soon as she opens her eyes, she will definitely see him beside her.

It was rare to wake up so early today, and her mind was no longer groggy. Shuangshuang made up her mind to find an opportunity to express her love to him within today.

If he hears it, he will definitely be very happy.

Shuangshuang wiped away her tears, raised her head, and pressed a soft kiss on his lips.

"...Shuang'er?" The wetness on his chest woke Xiao Yixuan up.

Since knowing that she was poisoned, Xiao Yixuan has to accompany her every day, worry about her, try every means to hide it from her, and at the same time worry about the antidote. The huge mental pressure is about to crush him, and he has been lacking sleep for days, so much so that he just

He was sleeping deeply, otherwise, he would have noticed it long before Shuangshuang woke up.

Xiao Yixuan couldn't help but be surprised when Shuangshuang opened her eyes and looked at him, and the tears on her face made him even more uneasy. Did she notice it?

"Why are you crying?" Xiao Yixuan asked carefully as he gently wiped away her tears.

Shuangshuang choked up and said, "I can't help but think of your kindness to me..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not what he thought.

"You are the woman I recognize." Xiao Yixuan smiled and held her in his arms, patting her back gently, "I treat you well, that's what I should do."

Shuangshuang sniffed and nodded in his arms. Because of her small movements, Xiao Yixuan's delicate phoenix eyes were full of tenderness.

"By the way, why did you wake up so early today?" This was the first time that she woke up earlier than him.

Shuangshuang poked her little head out of his arms, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's probably because I slept too much in the past few days, so I'm very awake now and don't want to sleep at all. But did I wake you up?"

She said it very happily, but Xiao Yixuan's heart was ice cold.

Today is the last day. Shuang'er suddenly regained her energy without taking the antidote. There is only one possibility...

The four words "Return to Light" were like a heavy hammer hitting Xiao Yixuan's heart, ruthlessly reminding him that Shuang'er's life was about to come to the last moment...

Ruoyan probably won't be able to get to the palace until dark, can Shuang'er survive until then?

"Yixuan, what's on your mind?" Shuangshuang asked worriedly when she saw that his brows were furrowed, he didn't answer, and his body was a little stiff.

"No...it's nothing." Xiao Yixuan pretended to smile lightly, trying to divert her attention, and rubbed the delicate skin on her face with his warm fingertips, and said softly: "It's still early, and it's rare that you are so energetic.

Why don't you think about what to do today?"

Her arms wrapped around his waist, Shuangshuang hung on him like a koala. She tilted her head and thought for a while, frowning and said: "Actually, I don't know what to do well. I just know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Just play chess, and you can’t do anything else..."

"How about this." An idea flashed in her mind, and she raised her head, her big, watery eyes sparkling, "You can help me paint a portrait this afternoon. I want to see you paint with my own eyes."

Ever since she saw his paintings in the study, she had been thinking about when he would show her his talent. Since she didn't know what to do today, she would use this to kill time.

"Well, okay." Xiao Yixuan replied softly, "What do you want to do in the morning?"

"It's morning... How about I teach you how to play chess?" she said excitedly. Xiao Yixuan was stunned for a moment, looked suspicious, and raised his eyebrows: "You teach me how to play chess?"

"It's not Go." Shuangshuang was very dissatisfied with his doubts. "It's a game I used to like to play. It's called Go. You can just use your Go. It's just that the rules are different." (ps: The history of Go is far longer than that of Go).

It has a long history, but here, let’s just think that Xiao Yixuan only knew Go in the imaginary era and didn’t know what backgammon was.)

When she heard that it was her favorite game, Xiao Yixuan certainly would not refuse it, so that he could get to know her better.
