"I'm..." he whispered back.

The voice was a little hoarse.

His expression was extremely firm.

But, where she couldn't see, under the cover of his sleeve, his fist was slowly clenched.

His forbearance was fully exposed under his clenched fist.

Shen Yunxi nodded, swallowing the sourness and bitterness in his heart, and when he looked up again, his beautiful face was covered with a beautiful smile, "Xiao Yihan, can you stay away from me in the future?"

There was a hint of crying in her low voice, which made people feel sad.

Shen Yunxi was stunned, she tried her best to hide her emotions, but she was still startled by her own voice.

The hand hanging in front of her was tightened, and in an instant, she felt the oppressive atmosphere circulating and lingering between the two of them.

However, the corners of Xiao Yihan's lips were still slightly hooked up, as if he was not affected by her words.Then he nodded with a light smile and said, "Okay."

She sniffed, "After that, can you stop laughing at me?"

"Okay." He still responded obediently, without any hesitation.

The smile disappeared from the corner of his lips as he bowed his head, but it was just a word, but it was so easy to read the taste of doting.

"Can you……"

"As long as it's what you say, I will agree." His lips moved slightly, the corners of his lips tugged, and a soft voice came out of his mouth.

Shen Yunxi was stunned, her bright red lips trembling slightly, she stood there blankly watching him walking towards her step by step.

He stopped two steps in front of her, stretched out his hand, and wiped away the tears on her face, his soft voice was next to his ears: "Don't cry. No matter what you ask me to do, I will promise you. As long as you Just don't cry."

Shen Yunxi let tears blur his eyes, and looked at Xiao Yihan without blinking.

Xiao Yihan sighed lightly, "I understand what you mean. After today, I will not appear in front of you again. But how about after today? After today, I will do everything you say."

"No..." Shen Yunxi bit her lip and shook her head repeatedly.

Not even a day.

Sometimes a day is a long time for a person.So, she doesn't want to.

If you want to break it, you must break it completely!

"You must go to Linhua Hall immediately and tell the Empress Dowager that you promised her to accept the concubine." She cried and said with tears.

It turned out that after Feng Linye was called away by Eunuch Li, Shen Yunxi supported the slightly drunk Empress Dowager to sit down on the soft couch, while Xiao Yihan waited by the side, in case he was needed.

As soon as the empress dowager sat down, she patted Shen Yunxi's hand, "Yunxi girl, please sit down too." After speaking, she raised her head and said to Xiao Yihan, "Yihan, you can sit down too."

But just after she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something, and said again: "Yihan, is there a lady you like among the nobles? You have already reached the marriageable age, and it's time to accept a concubine."

Xiao Yihan was obviously taken aback, he obviously didn't expect the Empress Dowager to mention his concubine acceptance at this time.Then, he glanced at Shen Yunxi and said, "Queen Mother, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"Actually, it's not sudden. You're not young anymore. These years, traveling around for the court and the emperor, I wasted a lot of time and failed to properly implement your concubine. And your mother left very quickly. Morning, as the queen mother, I should also take care of you. So, if you have a favorite lady, tell Aijia, and Aijia will make the decision for you."

"If you don't have one, just choose a date and let the officials of the fifth rank and above present the portraits of the girls in their families for you to choose. Or, if you want, hold a camellia party in the palace and let them Everyone come to participate. How about you, just hide in the dark and watch carefully. How about doing this?"

The Empress Dowager supported her chin with one hand, nodded slightly and asked Xiao Yihan.

Xiao Yihan withdrew his gaze from looking at Shen Yunxi, turned his head and said to the Empress Dowager: "I thank the Empress Dowager for your kindness. But now that there are troubles on the border, Tian Qi may not be peaceful for a while, so now is not the time for me to accept concubines."

The Empress Dowager raised her head, rubbed her forehead, and said persuasively: "Yihan, this country's affairs will never be finished, so why don't you accept concubine as long as Tianqi has something to do?"

Xiao Yihan pursed his lips, but the Empress Dowager didn't give him a chance to speak, so she said again: "Actually, accepting a concubine has nothing to do with this country's major affairs. Once you choose a concubine and have a family, you can still continue to contribute to it." Please do your best to help the country." As she spoke, she took Shen Yunxi's hand again, "Look, you are as old as Ye'er and Chen'er, they have already married and established businesses, and now you are the only one who is still alone. You say yes no?"

Xiao Yihan lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were already firm, and he said: "Queen Mother, I want to live a little longer."

"Hey...you..." The Empress Dowager raised her hand and pointed at Xiao Yihan helplessly.Then, he lowered his head, frowned and rubbed his temples.

"Queen Mother, don't worry about your minister's affairs. Go to bed and have a good rest." Xiao Yihan said respectfully.

"Yihan, what Ai's family said just now is not a sudden thing, so think about it after you go back." The empress dowager said, beckoning to Eunuch Chen to help her into the inner room.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Xiao Yihan bowed slightly.

Looking up again, he bumped into Shen Yunxi's deep eyes. He was slightly startled, and then avoided her probing gaze, "Let's go out of the palace too."

Shen Yunxi turned around, looked at Xiao Yihan's leaving figure, lowered his head, pursed his head and thought about something before following his footsteps and leaving Linhua Hall.

Perhaps it was because of what the empress dowager said that prompted her to have such affection.

Xiao Yihan's movement of wiping his tears froze suddenly, looked at Shen Yunxi in a daze, took a deep breath, and said: "Yunxi..." There was endless helplessness in those two short words.

"What you just said, as long as I say, you will agree. Do you want to break your promise just after you say this?" Shen Yunxi said aggressively.

"Yes, I said that as long as you say it, I will agree to you. But, excluding this...you know me..."

"No! I don't know, I don't know anything, I know what you said and you have to do it!" Shen Yunxi shook his head stubbornly.

Even if Xiao Yihan didn't finish his sentence, she still knew what he was going to say.

But it was precisely because of this, because she knew that his heart was only on her heart, that she persisted so much.

In fact, on the night of the Ghost Festival, when she was estranged from him, she should have let him go, instead of forcibly keeping him by her side because she was greedy for the warmth in her body.

She is too selfish.

Did not consider his thoughts and feelings!

However, is it still too late for her to do so now?

Can he happily walk out of her swamp?
