Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Shen Xingxi tied the belt that had broken the pillar back around her waist without changing her expression.

The system gives a big gift package to novices. The first one is a disguise mask that can make money and switch identities. The second one is the martial arts secrets that can be used to practice internal strength in this interface.

The original intention is to help the host do better meritorious deeds.

Only those who can protect themselves will have the energy to help more people.

So it was easy for Shen Xingxi to break a pillar with his internal force, and he used the mouse just to find an excuse.

Watching the house begin to shake and hearing the prince's panicked voice, she lit the lamp and screamed louder than the prince.

The lamp fell to the ground and fire suddenly broke out, and there was no trace of her pulling the pillar apart.

She ran out of the house in panic, shouting as she ran: "The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"

At this moment, the house collapsed with a loud bang, dust flew everywhere, and brick and stone fragments flew everywhere.

Eunuch Zhao pushed the prince out at the last moment.

Shen Xingxi suddenly became alert, feeling a sense of danger that a hidden weapon was coming towards her.

She subconsciously turned around to avoid it, but when she saw it was the prince, she reached out her hand, grabbed the prince's collar and lifted him up.

The prince stood there in shock.

"Prince, are you hurt?" Shen Xingxi showed a concerned expression.

"No..." The prince paused abruptly.

There was a lot of noise all around, but Mr. Shen was not disturbed by anyone. He stood in front of him like a pine tree. Behind him were ruins and a ferocious fire dragon, but his eyes showed only concern for him.

If it weren't for Mr. Shen, he might have ended up in a terrible way, with disfigurement, paralysis, death...anything is possible.

The words "I will repay you with my life in return for saving my life" suddenly popped up in his mind. His ears turned red. The high walls collapsed into ruins. He looked at Mr. Shen who entered the house unarmed.

He heard his slightly stuttering reply: "No... I'm fine."

"I'm glad you're alright." Shen Xingxi smiled slightly. "Then I'll help put out the fire first, and then come back to apologize to the prince."

"well."

[Why did the prince stutter? Was he frightened?]

The prince looked at the golden words on Mr. Yun's head, a flash of guilt flashed across his eyes, and he felt a little sorry for Mr. Yun.

[But it's also quite sad. With so many guards, no one came to rescue him in the first place.]

The color on the prince's face gradually faded. The guards around him were all sent by his father and Minister Chen.

His mother had reminded him many times to be careful of his father's people, and his father had also told him not to trust Minister Chen's people, but he felt that the two of them were willing to send guards to him because they cared about him.

Even if he was poisoned, he could use the excuse given by his father to deceive himself. Even if he was used by Minister Chen, he felt that it was the duty of the younger generation to help the elders. After all, he was alive and well and could still feel the joy of this world.

But now it is no longer possible.

The fire was quickly put out, but almost all the items in the room were burned.

Shen Xingxi explained the cause of the fire: "Prince, I am guilty. When I saw the mice, I thought of scaring them away with fire. Unexpectedly, the beams of the house suddenly collapsed. I panicked and knocked over the lamp."

"It's okay, Mr. Shen, you don't have to blame yourself. This was an accident. I know you couldn't have set the fire." The prince said to comfort him.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." Shen Xingxi's face was filled with gratitude.

The prince gave a silly smile, and suddenly he remembered something and looked worried: "Mr. Shen, did the memorial get burned? Don't blame yourself or be anxious. I promised you that I would think about the people. I will ask someone to hand in another copy of the memorial."

[Why do I feel like there's something strange about the prince? ]

Although Shen Xingxi thought so, his smile was somewhat soothing, and he pointed to the side: "Where is the prince's memorial? Even if I die in a sea of ​​fire, I will throw it out first."

Of course, she was just talking nicely. Doesn't she realize that she had caused the trouble herself?

The prince immediately praised: "Mr. Shen is righteous!"

[I feel a little guilty about being praised. 】

Shen Xingxi smiled lightly, "Your Highness, you are too kind."

The prince hummed, his expression a little more lonely. Mr. Yun and Mr. Shen had such a tacit understanding that he could immediately tell that "Mr. Shen felt a little guilty about being praised."

But he could see nothing but gentleness on Mr. Shen's face.

He was unwilling to give up: "Mr. Shen, I have something to ask you, can you come with me to the bedroom?"

"Of course." Shen Xingxi nodded.

The two of them moved to the bedroom. The prince took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Yun once complained to me, saying that Mr. Shen only liked his body and refused to accept his feelings. Is this true?"

[Yun Jingce actually complained to the prince about me? Complaining about something like this? ]

Prince Yun, who was forced to review the memorials alone, was speechless. No wonder the princess always said that the prince was a pig teammate! Now she is insulting a pig!

He had seen countless people, but he really couldn't understand the prince's clear and stupid thinking.

She promised to help him find rare treasures, but ended up finding a little pinkie. Now she must be trying to bring them together? And the princess thought she was complaining...

After Shen Xingxi was surprised, she realized that the prince looked a little nervous.

Narrowing her eyes, she admitted directly: "It is true. Things that cannot be seen in the light can only be expressed in the dark, just like in every mansion and courtyard, there are always one or two people who have male lovers, but no one has the intention to marry them.

Matters of the heart are always complicated. It is possible to be trapped by love, disturbed by love, or lost and confused.

I admit that I am afraid of falling in love. I have seen starving victims on the road to escape famine targeting their daughters and wanting to share their food with them. I have seen villagers throwing living people tied up in chains into the river in order to appease the river god. I have also seen a dozen people fighting over a sip of water.

But I had no choice. I was afraid that if I exposed the food, it would be snatched away by others. I had no ability to change the ignorance of the villagers. And I could not make it rain in the sky to help the hungry and thirsty people.

I went to Beijing with the jade pendant that my adoptive father gave me before he died, but the government office was unable to help me find my family.

The harmonious and peaceful atmosphere in the capital also made me feel that all my experiences along the way were an illusion.

I observed for half a month before the relief grain left the capital. The wheel tracks were so shallow that I felt like they had abandoned the victims.

But I still couldn't do anything, so I started getting drunk and using sensual pleasures to cover up the truth.

Prince, aren't there many cases where people mess up things because of their emotions? I really don't dare..."

The prince's eyes were slightly red. He only knew that Mr. Shen had gone to Beijing to look for his relatives but failed, but he did not expect to see so many things along the way.

He pursed his lips: "But feelings can come suddenly, so what should Mr. Shen do?"

"I think if you really love someone, you should think more about him. If I can't take care of my family, I won't get married. I would rather see him being loved by someone, and I will live my whole life with the faith in my heart, and I will have no regrets."

The prince stared at Mr. Shen for a long time without saying a word, and finally sighed: "Mr. Shen, I understand."

He changed the subject directly: "Mr. Shen, tell me the truth, my father and my grandfather had that kind of relationship, is it possible to repair the relationship?"

When Shen Xingxi heard this name, the veins on his forehead jumped uncontrollably.

"Prince, not to mention that Minister Chen is seriously injured, from an ethical point of view, the two of you can only be unable to accept it. What I said before is..."

"Mr. Shen, since you said so, let's do it this way! Can you think of a way to help me get the two of them together?"
