Falling in love while doing tasks [Quick Wear]

The pain that Yue Shengyi had expected did not appear. Instead, a slender white hand gently brushed aside her scattered long hair.

Yue Shengyi raised his head in surprise, and met a pair of eyes full of water.

In these eyes, there was a strong joy mixed with some complex emotions that were both strange and familiar. Yue Sheng couldn't understand it, but he felt his heart tremble inexplicably.

"May I have your name?"
Song Xu tilted her head slightly, and even though she was about to hold back the tears in her eyes, the smile on her face grew little by little.

The familiar face in front of her is her sister Shengsheng. Her light has really returned.

Holding back the tears that welled up in her eyes, Song Xu raised her hand and gently stroked Yue Shengyi's cheek, her tone as gentle as the warm spring breeze.
"You haven't told me your name yet?"

"Fifth Prince"
Yue Shengyi stared in a daze at the increasingly bright smile on her face. He opened his mouth, but his dry throat only allowed her to utter a low, silent murmur.

Wu Mu followed closely behind Song Xu with his brows lowered. He only heard Song Xu's voice but didn't hear Yue Shengyi's answer. He raised his head and glanced at Yue Shengyi who was still in a daze. He secretly laughed in his heart and said with a gloating look:

"Oh, he even dares to ignore the Fifth Prince's questions. It seems that Guard Yue is really brave and not afraid of death at all."

Everyone in the palace knew that what the Fifth Princess hated most was someone daring not to answer her. There was once a servant of His Majesty who, relying on his temporary favor, dared not to take the Fifth Princess seriously.

As a result, his tongue was pulled out and he was driven out of the palace. No one knew whether he was alive or dead in the end.

Now Yue Shengyi dares to do this in front of His Highness. His crime is definitely aggravated and he will probably end up being killed without a complete body.
Thinking of this, Wu Mu curled his lips and looked at Yue Shengyi with more disdain.

The sharp voice not only made Yue Shengyi come back to his senses quickly, but also made the curve of Song Xu's lips halfway down.

Watching Yue Shengyi slowly lower his eyes, a wrinkle appeared between Song Xu's brows, and the smile on his face completely disappeared.

But Ebony, who had a brain seizure, just wouldn't stop. He opened his mouth and said a lot of specious nonsense in a sarcastic tone.

Hearing this, Song Xu's brows were furrowed more and more tightly. He gripped the hilt of the sword with his right hand and raised it. The wide sleeves blew up the wind, and the half-finger-wide sword hung down and pulled back fiercely. The swift force directly knocked the ebony that was flapping non-stop away.

Her back hit the stone steps hard, and the intense pain quickly spread throughout her body, causing Wu Mu's eyes to go dark for a moment. After she finally recovered a little, before she could even wail, she met Song Xu's face, which was as cold as the winter moon.

Both hands decisively and quickly covered his mouth, and the wailing that was about to come out turned into a few broken sobs, and Ebony's eyes were full of tears that could not help but flow out.

She was really out of her mind, otherwise how could she forget that Her Highness also hated people nagging in her ears.
Follow His Highness, you'd better shut up, woo woo woo.
Song Xu looked coldly at Wu Mu, who was curled up on the ground. He was quite satisfied with his current strength. Then he turned behind Yue Shengyi with the long sword in his hand, and the sharp blade slashed through, and the rope that was originally tightly tied fell off immediately.

"Walk."
Before Yue Shengyi could react, Song Xu grabbed her hand and walked straight out.

In the broad palm covered with rough calluses is pressed another delicate and soft small palm. The two completely different temperatures, hot and slightly cool, gradually blend together until they become indistinguishable from each other.

Yue Shengyi stared blankly at the two hands clasped together. After a moment, his gaze slowly shifted to the three thousand strands of black hair draped over the back.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't had any water today, her mind went blank for a moment, and all her doubts disappeared.
Only one thought slowly emerged: the Fifth Prince's hands were so soft and

The sun is high in the sky and there is no wind in this hot summer.
Qiu Tong walked in quickly from outside, pushing aside the pearl curtain. She was wearing a dark green palace gown with a narrow collar that hung tightly on her body, with not even the corners of her gown lifted up a bit.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince has left the palace. I think he's heading back to the Princess's residence."

"Where is the guard in the prison?"
The empress was lying on the soft couch with her head propped up and her eyes closed, dozing off. On each side of the couch stood a handsome young man, holding a brocade round fan and fanning quietly.
"How did you die?"

"Your Majesty, the guard was taken out of the palace by the Fifth Prince."

"She's not dead? Has the fifth girl changed her personality?"
The queen opened her eyes, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes for a moment, then was perfectly restrained.

After waving away the palace servants around her, the empress slowly sat up. Her snow-black hair was not tied up, and it fell softly on the couch.
"Tell me in detail, what else happened?"

"Yes."
Qiu Tong leaned forward and bowed respectfully, then recounted in detail everything that had happened before.

"You said Wu Mu was dealt with by the fifth girl?"
The queen leaned back on the soft pillow, her slender eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Qiu Tong: "Yes, I guess it's because Wu Mu talks too much and is annoying."

"Haha, I don't know who Fifth Girl's personality is inherited from."
The words seemed like a question and a sigh. The queen did not speak again after she finished speaking. She lowered her eyes and was reminiscing about something. Qiu Tong watched her nose and her heart silently, not daring to speak to disturb her.
It is said that the heart of an emperor is the most difficult to predict. There are some things that a palace maid like her cannot discuss casually.

The hall was quiet for a long time, until the wind finally started to blow outside, ringing the wind chimes hanging outside the hall. The clear and crisp sound of the wind chimes drifted into the hall with the wind, calling people back from their long-lost memories.

"Forget it. Since the person has been taken away by the fifth girl, let's forget about it."
The empress slowly stood up and walked to the imperial desk, where there was a blank bright yellow silk book.
"The Princess's Mansion is her territory. No matter how much trouble she makes, nothing will leak out. So let it be."

"Yes, the slaves retire."
Qiu Tong understood everything without the Queen saying anything. She bowed again and slowly retreated.

The slender fingers tapped lightly on the silk book. After a while, the queen finally sighed and picked up the jade pen beside her.

"Fifth Prince, I, I can do it myself."
He retracted his hand but did not pull it back. Yue Shengyi looked at Song Xu who was carefully holding his wrist and applying medicine on it.

The drooping thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, as if a breeze blew directly into Yue Shengyi's heart, making him itchy.

"Don't move, the medicine has been applied crookedly."
Song Xu firmly grasped her hand as she tried to pull it back, raised his head and glared at her gently, while complaining in a coquettish manner.

Yue Shengyi's face turned red immediately after being glared at by her harmless glare and hearing her gentle voice that kept drilling into his ears. He did not retract his hand and obediently let Song Xu apply the medicine.

Yue Shengyi wondered if his brain had not yet recovered. He just couldn't understand why the Fifth Prince not only didn't kill him with a single sword, but also took him back to the Princess's Mansion to bathe and change clothes, and now was applying medicine to her personally?
Yue Shengyi, who was still blushing and lost in thought, did not notice that after Song Xu applied the medicine to her, he gently kissed her wrist. The kiss was as gentle as the wind, and it left without a trace.

"Okay, sister, how about we eat now?"
He closed the medicine box with one hand, while holding Yue Shengyi's hand tightly with the other hand.
Song Xu's lips curled up greatly, and her starry eyes curved into crescents, showing her current happy mood.

The word "sister" startled Yue Shengyi, who had just come back to her senses, and she almost jumped up. She shook her head repeatedly:
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince was wrong. I, the guilty subject, am guilty."

As an orphan, Yue Shengyi, who had never read many books since she was a child, was so anxious that she couldn't argue. Her face turned red all the way down to her neck.

She had never seen such a lively expression on her face before in the real world. Song Xu's eyes widened and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

"I am a sinner. I am so stupid. I am sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness."
When he looked up and saw Song Xu's brilliant smile, Yue Shengyi thought that what she just said was a joke she made on purpose to tease him. He didn't know whether he was relieved or felt a huge rock was hanging in his heart.
It seems that the Fifth Prince spared my life just for fun.

"Sister is not stupid, no, a little bit."
Song Xu shook his head to deny it, but then nodded again.
Sister Shengsheng, who is easily deceived by bad guys, is still a little stupid.

"Please don't shout like that, Fifth Prince. I, the guilty minister Yue Shengyi, failed to protect the First Prince. I deserve to die."
Yue Shengyi felt ashamed and guilty. He lowered his head and knelt down in front of Song Xu.

".Sister Shengsheng finally told me her name."
Her facial expression remained unchanged, and there was a hint of joy in her words. Song Xu squatted down to help her up.
"Hurry up, let's go eat."

"Your Highness, I am not worthy of your title. I, Yue Shengyi, only ask Your Highness to punish me severely. Even if it means death, I am not afraid."
"Sister" is not enough, she has to be called "Sister Shengsheng". Yue Shengyi frowned and said in a deep voice, begging very seriously.

But he didn’t notice that Song Xu’s face turned cold instantly when he heard the words “not afraid of death”.
"Not afraid of death? You actually think like this."

Song Xu restrained his smile and his face became as gloomy as water.
She clasped Yue Shengyi's shoulders tightly with both hands, and her low and suppressed voice sounded as if her breathing was strangled by an invisible hand.

"You are not afraid of death, but do you know that there are people who are afraid of your death?! Do you know that if you die, there will be someone... How painful it will be?"

Her eyes were unusually red as she met Yue Shengyi's blank gaze.

"Fifth, Fifth Prince"
Yue Sheng also stared at her eyes in a daze, seeing the pain and despair surging in them. For a moment, his heart was also tangled and aching.

They looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, Song Xu slowly released the hand that was clasped on her shoulder and held her hand instead.

"Haha. What am I going to tell you? Forget it, get up first."

"I"
Before Yue Shengyi could react, he was pulled up by her, and his perspective changed from looking up to looking down.
"Fifth Prince"

"All right."
Raising his hand to interrupt her continued hesitancy, Song Xu looked up at her. For the first time, there was no smile on his face, but instead a serious look.

"My sister is dead, and you said that you didn't fulfill your duty, so you should compensate me with a sister."
