Chapter 48: Self-inflicted
After hearing Zhu Yijing's passionate and deep proud words, You Shenglan couldn't help but feel a little shaken in her heart. She didn't believe her before, and just thought that Zhu Yijing's doubts were afraid that she would not protect him well also dissipated.
But the shake was just a shake, and You Shenglan did not show it on her face. She just sighed and clasped her fists at Zhu Yijing while she was liberated, and turned around and was about to leave the inner room.
"Wait! Don't leave!"
Zhu Yijing also knew that it was unrealistic to deceive You Shenglan, who had grown up in the border area after a few words, but when she saw that she was about to leave, she suddenly became anxious and rushed forward and hugged You Shenglan's legs, and even beat her to death, she didn't let go:
"I know this is a bit shocking, but at least you stay here tonight to accompany me, so as not to any assassin take the opportunity to do something wrong to me!"
After being entangled by Zhu Yijing again, You Shenglan was helpless. In addition, it was already dark outside, so she had to lift him up first, raise three fingers and say seriously:
"Since your highness has said that, it would be too unpretentious to refuse. I can stay, but we have to make three rules."
"Yeah, yeah, you said."
Zhu Yijing was so happy that he nodded desperately like the lucky cat.
Seeing Zhu Yijing's appearance, You Shenglan felt even more helpless:
"Your Highness is sleeping in the bed, I will just sit in the chair and deal with it all night."
"No!" Zhu Yijing shook his head decisively:
"You are my personal guard. If you can't sleep well, how can you protect me the next day? And staying up late often makes you short of your life. You should come to the bed obediently, and I promise you won't move around."
“…”
You Shenglan suddenly felt powerless from the bottom of her heart:
"Since you're all asleep, what's the point of asking your Highness to stay and protect you?"
"I don't care. Anyway, if you stay tonight, I will follow you somewhere else, which is also a kind of stay!"
Seeing that his little thoughts were ruthlessly exposed, Zhu Yijing was completely shameless.
“…What if I go to the sleeping house?”
Taking a deep breath, You Shenglan repeatedly advised herself not to worry.
"Then I'll go into your arms, you can hold me anyway."
The shameless person is invincible. You Shenglan finally experienced this in person. In desperation, she had to nod and agreed:
"Okay, I will stay and go to bed, but I hope your Highness can stick to his words and not move around."
"You can rest assured!"
Zhu Yijing was not afraid of You Shenglan's repentance. After she agreed, she directly released her legs and stood up and slapped her chest and made a slap:
"I promise that you will go to bed cleanly and get off the bed cleanly. If there is any violation, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!"
Seeing that Zhu Yijing had said all these words, You Shenglan finally nodded slightly after being silent for a moment:
"Then please turn around and I will take off a few underwear that is not suitable for sleeping."
Although I really want to say that it’s just our relationship, you can just take off any clothes in front of me, Zhu Yijing knew what it means to put it away when he saw it. He turned around obediently, took off his outer robe, and put on the bed in a light dress.
Just listening to the silent voice behind her, Zhu Yijing felt itchy and even regretted that she had a showdown with You Shenglan so early, which caused her attitude to return to normal levels, but many of the benefits she deserved were gone.
Just as he was regretting, Zhu Yijing suddenly saw darkness, followed by the quilt on the other side, and the sound of the human body falling on the bed and covering the quilt.
I knew in my heart that it was You Shenglan who blew out the lights and went to bed to occupy the other side. Zhu Yijing couldn't help but be glad that the bed was indeed big enough, and he and You Shenglan were more than enough. Then he turned around and wanted to see You Shenglan's current condition.
As soon as he turned around, Zhu Yijing saw You Shenglan's cold eyes through the moonlight, and immediately scratched her hair awkwardly:
"Such by chance, do you want to sleep in my face?"
You Shenglan suddenly felt a little frustrated and couldn't breathe. He could only sigh quietly, turn his back to Zhu Yijing, thinking that you have no bad intentions now.
Then You Shenglan felt a somewhat rough palm quietly reaching into the quilt and began to move upward from her back, gently stroking her back. She would still stay when she encountered some scars and carefully experience their feel.
I really couldn't understand what Zhu Yijing wanted to do, and even began to doubt whether he was a normal man, but You Shenglan was not scolding or beating him at the moment, so she had to let her go.
Until Zhu Yijing groped all the way, he felt the marks left by bandages on You Shenglan's back muscles, and spoke in surprise:
"What's the situation? Shenglan, you have been in the capital for three years, and you still dare someone to attack you?"
"…What is Your Highness talking about?"
You Shenglan was confused, why didn’t she know that someone would dare to do anything to him in the past three years.
"The mark behind you is only here today. Who is so bold? You know that the Queen Mother asked you to be my guard and dared to do such a crazy thing? I must teach him a lesson!"
However, Zhu Yijing didn't know that as soon as he said this, Yu Shenglan's face, whose back was facing him, immediately became two faint blushing. Fortunately, she was not seen when she turned her back to Zhu Yijing.
After a moment of silence, You Shenglan spoke a little depressedly:
"Your Highness really doesn't know what this is?"
"...I really don't know, did you do it yourself? Why?"
"ha--"
You Shenglan could no longer bear it, so she pulled Zhu Yijing's palm away and twisted her body, looking at his eyes and paused:
"This is the trace left by my chest strap. Do you understand, Your Highness?"
"Uh...sorry, but you can't wear it here."
Zhu Yijing finally understood what the white strap he saw in the morning was.
He turned back in disappointment, and You Shenglan's tone was a bit unkind:
"That's not possible. Your Highness is not a woman after all. He doesn't know how troublesome it is to move without bringing these. Moreover, these straps can also avoid further damage by the ramiya on the battlefield, which is very useful."
But Zhu Yijing still doesn't give up:
"Why might as well add a heart protection glass, do you think?"
"…Your Highness.”
"Um?"
You Shenglan's thousands of words finally came into two words:
"Go to sleep."
"……oh."
...
When the next day dawn, You Shenglan got up early and was surprised to find that Zhu Yijing had just hugged him at some point. She also hugged him in her arms as a pillow, but she didn't touch her feet.
After a sigh of relief, You Shenglan quietly moved Zhu Yijing away, got up and started to wear clothes.
However, Zhu Yijing had a light sleep. After being woken up by You Shenglan, he rubbed his eyes and yawned, and got up. Looking at You Shenglan who was wrapping his straps, he couldn't help but feel sad again:
"This is really troublesome. When I look back, I will think of a way for you. It is both comfortable and convenient to move. I don't have to spend so much time. I just need to let me measure how majestic you are here with my own hands... I was wrong! I was wrong!"
