In the darkness, every movement around him was heard by his ears without missing a single one.

There were sounds of people breathing, snoring, and the rustling of wind blowing through the woods and over the treetops.

The closest sound came from his own chest.

Xie Lin lowered his eyes and looked at the beautiful face sleeping soundly on his chest. He frowned slightly.

Summer cicadas...

He has seen summer cicadas.

On the Queen's birthday, the Emperor and Empress simultaneously designated her as the candidate for Crown Princess.

Xia Chan was only twelve years old at that time, and her face was relatively immature, but it could be seen that she was a rare beauty in the world.

When she reaches the age of marriage in three years, she will be married with the highest standards and move into the Eastern Palace...

At that time, many noble ladies envied Xia Chan's good luck.

But little do people know that there are also many men who envy Yuan Che.

Because of his incomparably noble status, he was able to be married to the most beautiful woman in Chang'an by the Emperor and Empress...

Xie Lin was only eighteen years old three years ago, and was full of vigor and vitality.

He had met Xia Chan twice with a few other people. He listened to people around him commenting on Xia Chan, but he said nothing.

Later, his mother introduced him to Xia Yuanan, the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Xia family, as his wife.

He didn't have any ideas either.

To him, it doesn't matter who his wife is.

They just need to stay in the backyard and not interfere with his horse riding and martial arts training...

Three months ago, an accident caused him to fall off his horse. The moment he closed his eyes, he thought that it was a good thing that the Xie family still had other men.

Even if something happens to him, it doesn't matter.

However, why did he still feel a little regretful?

Because he didn’t get to see with his own eyes the most beautiful woman in Chang’an marry into the Eastern Palace?

Xie Lin fell into a complete coma.

At the beginning, he was still conscious, but he couldn't open his eyes.

But later, as I lay in bed for longer and longer, my consciousness became less and less clear.

He always felt that there was a hand in the darkness, trying to pull him into the endless abyss.

The change happened a few days ago.

Someone fed himself a very bitter medicine and put something cold into his body.

This made his chaotic consciousness slowly, slowly become clear.

He regained consciousness during the day today, but there was a voice in his ear that prevented him from waking up.

Now he finally woke up again.

This time he was awakened by someone.

As for the person who was suppressing him, it was Xia Chan.

It is difficult for Xia Chan to take the quilt out of the space, so after falling asleep, she will unconsciously move closer to a place that emits warmth.

This resulted in her sticking to Xie Lin like an octopus.

Then Xie Lin was woken up by it.

Why is she here?

And still so close to me?

Didn’t she marry into the Eastern Palace?

Xie Lin withdrew his thoughts, raised his hand and gently pushed Xia Chan's shoulder.

"Xia... Miss Xia..."

He hadn't spoken for a long, long time, and when he spoke, his voice was very hoarse.

I almost bit my tongue while speaking.

Xia Chan was sleeping soundly, but she could vaguely hear a mosquito buzzing in her ear.

She raised her hand impatiently and slapped the place where the sound came from.

"Don't make any noise."

She muttered under her breath, "Don't disturb my sleep."

Xie Lin: ...

There was a loud slap on his cheek.

It doesn't hurt much.

This was the first time he was slapped in the face since he was a child.

So he was beaten so hard that he was stunned and didn't know what to do for a while.

The summer cicadas continue to move towards warm places.

She is dreaming now, in her dream she is sleeping with a big heater in her arms.

It's just that this heater is a bit hard.

Also, the temperature it emitted was not warm enough, making her want to get into the heater.

Xia Chan thought so in his dream.

So she did.

He simply pulled at the heater beside him and put his head inside.

Xie Lin’s outer robe was lifted up, and even his inner clothes were about to be lifted up: ???

Miss Xia is the most noble lady in the capital (her grandmother's family is prominent, and her mother is the current queen's younger sister). Is she so unrestrained when she sleeps?

Why does she look like the daughter of a military general who grew up fighting on the frontier?

Of course, Xie Lin had never been penetrated by the clothes of a military general’s daughter before.

He was just making a metaphor.

Xie Lin was still thinking about saying something when he heard the sound of people walking not far away.

He quickly closed his eyes.

Zhu Qiang was awakened by the urge to urinate. He got up and walked to a distant tree to satisfy his physiological needs. He pulled up his pants, tied his belt, and walked towards the Xie family.

He seemed to vaguely hear a man's voice just now.

I don’t know if the officers and soldiers were talking in their sleep or what?

Unsure, Zhu Qiang walked over, checked and found that everyone was still sleeping.

As luck would have it, one of the soldiers had a dream and kept talking in his sleep.

What he heard just now was the voice of these officers and soldiers?

Zhu Qiang narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and returned to his resting place.

They received orders from the prince and could kill Xie Lin at any time.

Zhu Qiang was conceited and had no interest in attacking a man who was about to die.

But if Xie Lin woke up, he would no longer be a dying man.

He can do whatever he wants.

There will definitely not be any hidden dangers left.

Zhu Qiang returned to the tree.

Xie Lincai slowly opened his eyes.

His body was still held by Xia Chan.

But at this moment, Xie Lin's eyes were as calm as water.

When Zhu Qiang came over just now, he felt Zhu Qiang's murderous intent.

If he hadn't held his breath in time and disguised his breathing as a thread, the knife in the hand of the murderous man would have fallen on his neck.

Xie Lin is not afraid of death.

And if it really comes to a life-and-death fight, he is not very afraid of the other party.

But he couldn't die now.

He wanted to find out what had happened.

Xie Lin held his breath, tried hard to control his racing heartbeat, and looked at Xia Chan in his arms.

A hint of paleness appeared in the distant sky.

People who had slept all night woke up.

The officers and soldiers went to the trees on the roadside to urinate one by one, then turned back and started tapping with their knives.

"Get up, get up, get on the road, get on the road."

The summer cicadas were awakened by them.

She opened her eyes and found that it was still not very bright outside?

She muttered somewhat unhappily, "You're leaving earlier and earlier. What a problem."

As he said this, he raised his hand to rub his head, but found that he was rubbing a layer of cloth.

"Huh? What is this?"

She hadn't woken up yet and didn't have her usual clarity.

People are a little confused and a little stupid.

She stupidly grabbed the thing that was covering her head, and found that it seemed to be a piece of clothing?

"Aunt San, how come you slept inside Uncle San's clothes?"

Xie Wenbo's babyish voice was heard from the side.

Summer Cicada: ???

He hurriedly tore off the clothes on his head and sat up from his prone position.

Her eyes were still a little confused, but she could lie as soon as she opened her mouth: "Aunt San wants to see how your uncle is doing and whether he has improved."

"Do I need to put it on my chest to check? Like a doctor listening to a person's heartbeat?"
