Chapter 194 Her heartbeat was once again chaotic
With a "bang", Murong Jingyan stood up in panic and bumped into the roof of the carriage.
"I have other things to deal with, so I'll be busy recently."
As he spoke, he bent down and walked out.
Obviously unwilling to communicate more.
Shen Muxi frowned slightly.
On second thought, Murong Jingyan has been with her these days.
I really didn't see how he handled official business.
Although they successfully prevented the war between Nanyuan and Beichen, they left Nanyuan in a hurry.
Now that I am back in Nanyuan, I must deal with some historical issues.
Murong Jingyan, it's time to get busy.
Thinking of this, Shen Muxi swallowed back all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
I thought to myself that Xiaoxiao is now in Danyang and must have adapted to life in Danyang.
Wait until Murong Jingyan is done with this busy period.
She had a good chat with Murong Jingyan, said goodbye to him, and thanked him for saving Xiaoxiao, which in turn saved her.
When she returns to Danyang and settles everything, she will take Xiaoxiao with her and travel around...
Her imagination is beautiful.
However, this beauty came to an abrupt end the moment she saw Gu Xiaoxiao on the third day after she returned to Yecheng.
He brought Gu Xiaoxiao back again and again after sending her away.
Shen Muxi's urge to strangle Murong Jingyan reached its peak.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
The autumn wind blew with a cool breeze.
The remaining sanity held back her unbridled anger.
She questioned Murong Jingyan in a very calm tone.
But the voice was trembling.
"Mom, don't blame Uncle Jing. It was Xiaoxiao who asked Uncle Jing to let her bring me back."
Gu Xiaoxiao hugged Shen Muxi's waist pitifully.
Without waiting for Shen Muxi to react, she had already raised the cane in both hands and knelt on the ground, "Xiaoxiao is willing to be punished herself."
The little girl had obviously rushed all the way back, she was covered in dust and had a look of fatigue between her brows.
But he still came to see her as soon as possible and apologized to her.
It can be seen that she still cares about her mother very much.
Meeting her watery eyes, Shen Muxi's accumulated anger that was about to explode suddenly deflated like a punctured ball.
"Okay, now that you're back, does Mother still want to drive you away?"
She reluctantly helped Gu Xiaoxiao up and took her hand. "Go wash up with Xia Chan first, then go eat something, and then have a good rest. Don't rush back like this next time, do you understand?"
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, glanced at Murong Jingyan nervously, lowered her head and obediently followed Xia Chan out.
Hongdou and Luoluo were also sent by Shen Muxi to wash up, eat and rest.
Murong Jingyan touched his nose and stood in front of Shen Muxi, feeling a little at a loss.
He knew Shen Muxi was very angry.
But Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask the secret guard to come and ask him to bring her back to Nanyuan to reunite with her mother...
When he brought Gu Xiaoxiao back, he was even prepared for Shen Muxi to lose her temper.
He also acted as if "you can kill me or chop me up as you please."
Originally thought, after she let Gu Xiaoxiao leave, she would go find him to "question the blame", but unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, she was still sitting there, with a heavy look in her eyes, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
"Um... If you're angry, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Muxi had already bowed to him and said, "Your Highness, if you still have things to do, go ahead and do them. I'll go take Xiaoxiao to wash up first."
Murong Jingyan stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Are you not angry?"
Shen Muxi lowered her eyes, "Why should I be angry? I know His Highness is not the kind of person who knowingly commits a crime. Xiaoxiao must have been the one to do it. His Highness loves Xiaoxiao, and I am so happy that I can't wait to be angry."
After saying this, she actually smiled at Murong Jingyan.
Murong Jingyan felt very uncomfortable.
At times like this, he would rather she lose her temper with him than be so polite and distant to him.
But when he saw that she didn't struggle to free her hand, he felt as if all his strength had been drained away.
He loosened his grip on her arm.
He stepped back and let her go.
Shen Muxi was free.
Walk with big strides and fast.
He didn't hold her arm too tightly, but she could still clearly feel the heat of his palm seeping through her autumn clothes and into her skin.
Until he felt that he was out of Murong Jingyan's sight.
She stopped.
He placed his hands on his burning cheeks.
Her heartbeat became irregular again.
...
Half an hour later.
Shen Muxi washed Gu Xiaoxiao and changed her into clean clothes. The little girl could hardly open her eyes.
It is only the end of the Si hour now.
Looking at the faint dark circles under her eyes, Shen Muxi couldn't bear to wake her up after all.
Instead, he gently carried her back to bed.
"Silly girl, why are you running back here?"
If she didn't run back, she might have set off to Danyang to find her in two days.
She responded with slow and steady breathing.
Looking at his daughter sleeping soundly, Shen Muxi, who hadn't had a good rest for a few days, couldn't help but yawn.
He fell into a deep sleep beside his daughter's bed.
Shen Muxi felt extremely uneasy during this sleep.
I had several dreams in a row about Murong Jingyan...
Either Murong Jingyan secretly kissed her, or Murong Jingyan secretly picked her up and carried her back to bed...
What was outrageous was that when Murong Jingyan stole a kiss, she actually took the initiative and deepened his light kiss. That restless hand even uncontrollably wrapped around Murong Jingyan's waist...
Murong Jingyan had always been tall and straight, with a seemingly slender waist, but unexpectedly, to the touch, he felt thick and strong. Measuring by hand, his waist was at least three or four times thicker than hers...
"...Mother."
Gu Xiaoxiao's sleepy and hoarse voice came from the front.
Shen Muxi suddenly woke up.
Outside the window, the sun sets in the west.
Gu Xiaoxiao pouted and said coquettishly, "Mom, Xiaoxiao is hungry."
After the beginning of autumn, it gets dark earlier.
It looks like the golden crow is setting in the west, but it is still the afternoon.
The Little East Palace always has dinner at the hour of You.
We have to wait for nearly half an hour.
Just when she was considering whether to let Gu Xiaoxiao eat some pastries or some milk to fill her stomach, Xia Chan came to report that pastries had been delivered from the kitchen.
Gu Xiaoxiao quickly finished washing up and took Shen Muxi to the dining room.
"Ah, hawthorn cake and mung bean cake." Seeing the beautifully shaped and fragrant cakes, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up like stars. "Xiaoxiao loves hawthorn cake and mung bean cake the most."
After sitting down obediently.
Gu Xiaoxiao picked up the first piece of hawthorn cake and brought it to Shen Muxi's mouth with a smile, "Mom, eat it first, ah..."
Shen Muxi opened her mouth and took a small bite. The soft pastry, still slightly warm, melted in her mouth, and the slightly sweet taste instantly filled her mouth.
"Mother, how is it, is it delicious?"
Her eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation. Shen Muxi raised the corners of his mouth, and a gentle smile spread across his eyes. "Well, that's not bad."
"Then mother eats this too, Xiaoxiao eats this."
Gu Xiaoxiao put all the cakes that Shen Muxi had bitten back into her mouth, and picked up two more pieces of mung bean cakes, and her little mouth suddenly became full.
"Yeah, mom is right. This hawthorn cake is even more delicious than the one Xiaoxiao mentioned before... Xiaoxiao loves it..."
She nodded and mumbled some compliments.
Hongdou smiled and said, "This is the new imperial chef. His Highness saw that his pastries are excellent, so he arranged for him to come to the Little East Palace."
After hearing Hongdou mention this, Murong Jingyan in Shen Muxi's mind came alive again.
Murong Jingyan has become extremely busy since returning to Yecheng.
If Xiaoxiao hadn't come back today, she wouldn't know when she would be able to see him again.
From the fragmentary words of the servants in the Little East Palace, Shen Muxi learned that he was preparing to ascend the throne...
"...Mother, did you hear Xiaoxiao talking?"
Gu Xiaoxiao's voice brought Shen Muxi back to his senses.
