Chapter 239 Heartbeat
When leaving at night, Sang Luo gave Lu Xuan some advice.
Let her move directly to Cunxin Palace and live with the prince.
In this way, isn’t there an opportunity?
The prince was given all the understanding and transition time he wanted.
I don’t believe that I won’t be able to take down a mere prince when the time comes.
Lu Xuan felt that what Sang Luo said made a lot of sense.
After she went back, she had planned to come back tomorrow morning to discuss with Jiang Xing about her moving in.
But when he lay down, he saw the faces of those members of the sect who were killed by Jiang Yuanfeng.
Feeling restless, she braved the rain and went to find Jiang Xing alone.
Perhaps everyone in Cunxin Palace understood the relationship between her and Jiang Xing, so no one stopped her when she entered the palace in the middle of the night in the midst of a violent storm.
What was even more unexpected was that as soon as he came in, Jiang Xing seemed to sense someone coming and woke up suddenly.
She was frightened.
"Axuan?" Jiang Xing was awakened by a nightmare and felt a little dry in the mouth.
Looking at Lu Xuan's face, which was half bright and half dark in the dim candlelight, he asked tentatively.
If someone else woke up in the middle of the night and found a wet woman standing at the head of their bed, staring at them, they would probably be scared to death.
But at this moment, Jiang Xing's voice was so gentle that it could make water flow.
"Yes, it's me, Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan knew that it was not good to disturb his rest, so he planned to tell him what happened and leave.
"Your Highness, I'm not here to scare you. I want to discuss something with you..."
Jiang Xing sat up from the couch, listening to the rapid sound of water dripping from the eaves outside. He knew that she must not have even opened an umbrella, which was why she was soaked like a drowned rat.
There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. "You are so weak, why don't you ask someone to hold an umbrella for you? If you have anything to say, you can come over tomorrow after the rain stops, right?"
Although he sounded extremely dissatisfied, he had already gotten off the bed and hurriedly ordered outside, "Get some hot water for bathing and bring me some robes!"
As he said this, he quickly took a handkerchief and carefully wiped the water droplets from his head.
"Although it's summer now, you're so weak after coming back from the Ji family, and you've been caught in the rain. Are you not going to get well?"
Lu Xuan felt a sudden lump in her throat as she listened to his reproachful words.
He still cares about her.
Seeing how determined he was in the evening, I thought I would have to persuade him for a long time before I could slowly melt him into submission!
So, she took advantage of this opportunity to ask, "I, I want to move in with the prince starting tomorrow. I wonder..."
As she spoke, her ears suddenly felt hot.
I just felt my face flush with shame, and I couldn't say anything anymore.
She was a little annoyed.
I had clearly prepared a good plan in mind at the beginning, so shouldn't the words have come out of my mouth naturally?
How come I can't say anything at this moment?
After thinking about it, I wondered if I was still a little too anxious?
Will Jiang Xing reject me again?
Don't let this sentence ruin your plan and scare him away even more, which will make you even further away from your goal.
She was at a loss as to what to do. When she opened her mouth, it felt like her mouth was blocked by a steamed bun. She didn't know what to do.
It was the first time that Jiang Xing saw this somewhat embarrassed look on Lu Xuan's face. His heart softened immediately and he couldn't help but hug her in his arms.
"Axuan, of course. I promise you, from now on, we will live together..."
In the room, because Jiang Xing had gone to bed, only one oil lamp was left for the servants to use when they came to look after him at night.
The light was dim, and in the faintly flickering halo, Lu Xuan felt a burst of warmth, and was instantly wrapped tightly in that warmth.
Immediately afterwards, she felt a heat on the back of her neck, and a familiar big hand gently held it, and two soft lips covered it in an instant.
The heart beats like a drum.
Suddenly, a blush quickly climbed up her cheeks.
Did he agree?
Does Jiang Xing agree?
She no longer cared about anything else and tried her best to respond to him.
As if he was afraid that the nightmare he just had would come true, Jiang Xing's hand was unwilling to let go for even a moment.
Why do you think so much?
She finally stayed and became her own.
Isn’t this the best outcome?
Is there anything else you’re not satisfied with?
The subtle ambiguity was like a lingering fragrance, quietly spreading in the silence, binding the two people tightly together.
In the dim candlelight, they vaguely saw each other and were suddenly attracted by the lingering affection in each other's eyes.
They seemed to be in an uncontrollable vortex, and would rather give up everything and bravely surrender themselves.
Two scorching breaths intertwined in this rainy night.
All sounds were drowned out by the wind and rain outside the window.
The night is infinitely long.
The servant waited outside the door for more than half an hour, until he heard no movement in the house, and finally heard Jiang Xing say, "Come in!"
The two rows of servants walked quickly, each carrying robes and hot water that had been heated several times, and without daring to raise their heads, they put them into the inner room of Jiang Xing's house.
The water droplets on Lu Xuan's body had long been dried by Jiang Xing's hot breath.
At this moment, she was lying on the couch, feeling weak all over.
Jiang Xing's strength was really too great. Since she came back from Ji's house yesterday, in addition to the Chinese medicine prescribed by the court doctor, she also gave herself talismans, ginseng and other things that could quickly restore her qi and blood.
Unexpectedly, he was still no match for Jiang Xing's strong, resilient and vigorous body.
On the surface, this person looks thin, but I didn't expect that he is so rich and powerful!
The palace servant lowered his head to arrange everything, and then came out with his head lowered, "Your Majesty, Princess, everything is ready."
As they spoke, the servants smiled, lowered their heads, and quickly left the bedroom.
Seeing that the servants had left, Jiang Xing's low, mellow voice, like wine, finally rang in her ears, "Go take a shower. You just got caught in the rain. Be careful not to catch a cold if you don't warm yourself up."
Waves of breath caressed her ears tenderly, bringing out a tingling sensation.
The blush on Lu Xuan's face that had just faded away suddenly came back to her ears.
Although he said this, Jiang Xing's hands around her waist and the smile on his lips that could no longer be suppressed showed his reluctance.
Perhaps because his body was weaker than usual, Lu Xuan's heartbeat had not completely slowed down until now.
Her body felt weak and tired, so she replied softly, "I don't have the strength anymore."
More than half an hour had passed since Lu Xuan came out of the rain, and he felt that he had exhausted all his strength.
So, I had caught a cold before and really needed a bath, but now I was extremely tired, my eyelids seemed to be fighting, and I just wanted to fall asleep quickly.
"No strength left? Then are you...making a request to me?"
Jiang Xing chuckled and gently scratched her nose with his finger.
At this moment, Lu Xuan felt her body lighten, and a pair of large hands had already picked her up steadily and horizontally.
Feeling that his body was not covered by a towel, a burning sensation suddenly rushed from his head to his neck, and even Lu Xuan's ears turned red.
"King, lord..."
She felt a little embarrassed and wanted to get up.
However, the person in front of her looked down at her face that was as red as a peach, and his eyebrows curved, showing infinite tenderness.
"do not move."
He curled his lips lightly, revealing a faint smile. "If you don't have the energy, just go to sleep. I'll wash you."
"Then, how can that be possible?!"
Even when she married Ji Bozhou in her previous life, Lu Xuan had never felt such care, and she only felt more ashamed.
Jiang Xing chuckled softly, revealing the dimple on his lips that Lu Xuan hadn't seen in days. "Then, let the princess wash me."
Before Lu Xuan could react, his body was suddenly enveloped by warm and soft water.
A comfortable temperature came over him, and Lu Xuan felt as if every pore on his body had opened up, breathing comfortably at this moment.
My heart seems to be soaked in a pool of spring water, with birds singing and flowers blooming all around me.
But at this moment, there was a sharp sound of someone falling into the water. She felt a warmth on her back, and a familiar breath suddenly came from behind, covering her again...
