MTL - Little Cardamom-Chapter 85
In fact, when she was in Pangshan, a thought flashed into Ming Tan's mind, but that thought was fleeting. After all, she never thought that the little jade card on her forbidden step had already been lost.
But now it seems——
She lowered her eyes, and while putting the forbidden step back into the box, she carefully recalled what happened in Hanyan Temple that year.
The blood in the wing room, the fire that burned down the Hanyan Temple, and the unusual events that happened one after another in Beijing...
She calmed down and recollected her memories.
…
When he returned to Dingbei Prince's Mansion, Ming Tan had sorted out a certain possibility that made sense both before and after. It's just that she doesn't know that what she guessed may actually be almost the same as the truth.
There is something in the army today, Jiang Xu sent someone back to the mansion to inform him, and he will not come back for dinner today.
Ming Tan originally planned to ask him during dinner, this is good, a table of dishes was prepared for nothing.
She was thinking about something in her heart, she didn't have any appetite, she drank a cup of soup, and the rest was withdrawn to share among herself.
After taking a bath at night, Ming Tan walked up and down the room.
She had already checked out Jiang Xu's secret bag at home, but it was not there, presumably he had it with him.
She didn't know what she was thinking, and while turning around in the room, she lowered her head and bit her fingers lightly, as if she was thinking about something serious.
Finally, there was movement outside the courtyard.
Ming Tan turned around and hurried out to meet him.
But when she walked to the outside, Ming Tan paused again, she walked back, hurriedly sat back on the soft couch in the inner room, picked up the book, propped her head, and pretended to be reading .
After a while, Jiang Xu entered the room.
"Husband, you are back." Ming Tan put down the book, showing a slight surprise.
Just after taking a bath, she has black hair and shawls, and her scarlet skirt sets off her skin like frost Sai Xue, because in the house, she only wears a pair of wooden clogs, curled up on the couch, her feet are exposed, white Toes are fidgeting.
Jiang Xu glanced at her while undoing his cuff tie.
She tried her best to maintain her composure, put on her wooden clogs, walked up to Jiang Xu without blushing and heartbeat, and said softly and softly as usual: "Husband is tired today, I will ask someone to prepare water, Husband takes a bath first To relieve fatigue, you can have supper after taking a bath. The food in the barracks is not good, and it is cold at night at this time of year. I specially simmered minced **** and chicken porridge, which can warm the stomach and drive away the cold. My husband will use it more later. "
As she spoke, she helped Jiang Xu change his clothes calmly.
Jiang Xu didn't seem to notice it, and said "um" very softly, and looked at her quietly with lowered eyes: "The princess has a heart."
Hearing this, Ming Tan was inexplicably guilty, his movements were slightly sluggish, and he continued to undress him.
The maidservants quickly brought hot water into the house, and a hazy mist rose from the clean room.
Seeing Jiang Xu going into the water, Ming Tan finally felt relieved, and quietly exited the clean room, taking the secret pocket in his clothes by the way.
She went back to the inner room while rummaging, and soon, she took out the small black jade tablet from the secret pocket, she quickened her pace, and hurriedly went to the dowry to get the forbidden step that she brought back today.
The prohibition is heavy, and compared to the jade medal, it has little weight.
Her heart was beating fast and her hands were shaking slightly.
She slowly aimed the small black jade tablet at the gap where the step was forbidden, and her pupils shrank suddenly——
Right on!
The small hole on the jade plate can be matched with the gap on the forbidden step. That is to say, the piece of Wuhengyu her husband owned belonged to her, and she guessed it right!
Ming Tan hurriedly turned around, but before she could take a step, she bumped into a warm and stiff chest.
At some point, Jiang Xu put on a pajamas and stood silently behind her, the water on his body was still wet.
She was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously hid the little jade tablet behind her back, her heart almost stopped in fright.
However, Jiang Xu only glanced at the secret bag she put on the table.
Ming Tan followed his line of sight, feeling annoyed for a moment, she let go of her hands dejectedly, and handed back the small jade token.
Jiang Xu was about to pick it up, but Mingtan suddenly remembered something——
No, why is she upset, why does she feel guilty about being a thief? This piece of Wuheng jade is obviously hers, someone should explain why this piece of Wuheng jade was taken as his own.
Thinking of this, Ming Tan suddenly became confident, and when she raised her hand, Jiang Xu's outstretched hand caught the emptiness, and paused for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, she raised her small head, poked his chest with the small jade tablet, and asked righteously: "Husband, now that things have happened, should you explain to me the meaning of this Wuheng jade?" The origin, this piece of jade is obviously mine, you already know it, right?"
"..."
"You are sneaking around for this reason?"
"Who, who is sneaking around!"
"Well, I don't know who it is, but I still pretend to be ignorant even though I know that the king has returned." Jiang Xu glanced at her indifferently.
Long before entering the house, he saw Ming Tan's figure scurrying back and forth under the light of the candlelight outside. Looking at that figure, he obviously wanted to go out to meet him, but in the end he scurried back to curl up on the soft couch inexplicably.
Entering the room, seeing her curled up on the soft couch, he thought that the little princess wanted to ask for something tonight, and wanted to seduce her with her looks. At first, he planned to reluctantly accept it, but now it seems that he thought too much.
Ming Tan couldn't help being a little ashamed and annoyed when he exposed it.
"What do you want to know, just ask me directly, you don't have to spend so much trouble."
"I originally wanted to ask my husband directly, but I was afraid that my thinking would be wrong and something would happen...I want to confirm if it is my jade first." Ming Tan couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
She often makes embarrassments in front of her husband. If she doesn't confirm this time, she will just make up a big show by herself. If the jade is not for her, it will be a big oolong.
Moreover, the husband said that this jade saved his life, so he rushed to recognize the savior indiscriminately. If there was an oolong, and the husband didn't laugh at her, she would have to find a crack to get in!
After Jiang Xu listened, he was silent again, couldn't help rubbing her little head, and smoothed her hair.
"It's not an oolong, the princess is indeed the king's savior." He admitted directly.
Ming Tan raised his head suddenly.
He also looked at her without avoiding it, and narrated the incident at Hanyan Temple and the incident in the forest later.
…
Ming Tan was a little dazed when she heard that, and finally she finally figured out something: "Then, I have saved my husband twice?"
"Ok."
"Then when you were in Pangshan, why didn't your husband say anything?"
"You didn't ask."
"..."
Ming Tan opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to refute.
The maid came in with the supper, and Ming Tan sat down at the table to eat with Jiang Xu, but what Jiang Xu said just now sounded unbelievable to her, and she was stuck in it for a long time and couldn't recover.
It was really hard for her to believe that she and her husband had so many interactions before they met each other.
Thinking about it this way, many things that she hadn't thought about seemed to be explained.
For example, when Shangyuan fell into the water, why did the husband come to rescue him? And why did he know that she was the young lady of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and sent someone to send her back to the mansion...
So from the beginning to the end, the husband knew about it.
Thinking of this, Ming Tan felt a little complicated.
After turning off the lights and going to bed, Ming Tan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Jiang Xu took her into his arms: "Sleep early, don't you have to enter the palace to see the queen tomorrow?"
"But I can't sleep."
"Why can't I sleep?"
Ming Tan leaned against his chest, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice: "Husband knew that I was your savior?"
"..."
In fact, it wasn't early in the morning, I only remembered it after seeing her face in Lingmiao Temple. It's just that Jiang Xu didn't deny it. If she denied it, with her intelligence, she would soon realize that when Shang Yuan fell into the water, he didn't have enough motivation to save people.
For some reason, to this day, he no longer wants to pursue why he married her in the first place.
But he didn't want to pursue it, but Ming Tan really wanted an answer. After hesitating for a while, she asked softly: "Then you marry me because you want to repay your kindness? Is it because you want to repay your kindness for your husband's kindness to me?"
She is not stupid, with his power and relationship with the Holy One, if he is not willing to marry, the Holy One will definitely not order a marriage at will.
Jiang Xu was silent for a long time.
When Ming Tan thought he would not answer for so long, he said, "Not all."
These three words have many meanings.
When he married her back then, it was true that it was not all because of repaying kindness, but more out of consideration for the Jing'an Houfu. His relationship with her after marriage may have been mostly due to kindness and tolerance at first, but now he knows very well that it is not.
Ming Tan was prepared in his heart, so he was not very disappointed when he heard the answer.
She forced herself to calm down, accepted this fact, and after a while, she asked in a low voice with some reluctance: "Among the other reasons why the husband is not all, is it because you like A Tan?"
It's hard to answer this kind of thing with words. Jiang Xu hugged her up, sealed her lips, drove straight in, and responded with practical actions.
Ming Tan was so kissed that he couldn't breathe, whimpered, and his cheeks were flushed. When Jiang Xu let go of her, she panted and pressed against his chest, her eyes raised wetly, meeting his calm and straight gaze.
"What do you say?"
His voice was hoarse, and the answer in his eyes was too obvious.
Ming Tan's ears were hot, and he was embarrassed to chase him to say it himself.
In fact, she is very satisfied with this, so what about repaying the favor, at least there is still affection involved. What's more, the husband not only repays her kindness, but also likes her now. They still have a long, long time, and she believes that the husband will fall in love with her!
Jiang Xu's desire was aroused, and he quickly leaned over to cover her soft body. The warm breath lingered all the way down, burning clusters in the places he passed, and ambiguous low panting and moaning came from the tent from time to time.
After a while, it was the time when the love was strong, but there was a sudden silence in the tent.
"Have you come to Sunflower Water?"
Ming Tan nodded honestly.
Jiang Xu's eyes were still red, and his voice was suppressed: "Why didn't you say it just now?"
Ming Tan said innocently: "My husband didn't ask."
"..."
It turned out to be waiting for him here.
