Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 112 Unexpected (Part [-])
The cold wind was howling, and the night was getting darker and darker. The horse-drawn carriage was driving on the empty streets of the capital, and the kicking sound was particularly loud and crisp, which could be heard through the thick curtain.

Suddenly, the driver whipped his whip, and the carriage stopped.

"Your Highness, Mrs. Shen, we're here." Mu Tong's voice came from outside.

Shen Chuxia lifted herself from Ji Chong's arms, and she sat aside, waiting for Ji Chong to get off the carriage first.

He let her go first.Sure?Shen Chuxia asked with a look.

Ji Chong nodded.

Well, since His Royal Highness the Regent is so polite, she will not be polite. Shen Chuxia lifted the skirt and pushed the door curtain to get out of the car. Just as he touched the door curtain, the door curtain was lifted by Mu Tong.

"Miss Shen—" He set up the footstool.

Shen Chuxia was afraid of falling, so she kept looking at her feet until she stood still, and turned her eyes casually while waiting for Ji Chong to get off the car.

This turn startled her, this is not the Prince Regent's Mansion she was thinking of, she was startled, what did Ji Chong want to do, could it be that he wanted to sell her for a few dollars?She quickly looked around, looking for familiar traces, and after a few seconds, she saw a pair of majestic stone pillars at the door.

She knew this stone pillar, it was a unique stone lion pillar at the gate of Dali Temple.

She patted her heart, really, for a moment just now, she thought she was sent to the Jiaofang Division by Ji Chong, just for a moment, the sweat on her back came out, she thought she had met a big scumbag, God, luckily it wasn't.

Where she was still in shock, she clapped her heart and calmed down, and didn't even notice that Ji Chong had got off the carriage.

Ji Chong raised his hands behind his back and walked a few steps. He didn't feel the little lady behind him coming, and turned to look at her. She seemed to be in a daze, subconsciously patting her heart.

This is not to believe?
"Since you don't want to see each other, go back."

"Ah..." Shen Chuxia was awakened by his voice, "Your Highness, you really..." She chased after him, "Let...let me see my father?"

"What do you say?"

"But..." Shen Chuxia was depressed, her fake daughter didn't really want to see Shen Jinlin, she just wanted to make an appointment and bring the Shen family to see Shen Jinlin.

"Oh, I don't want to see you." Ji Chong turned around with his hands behind his back.

"No, no..." Oh my god, it's rare for this old man to show kindness once, and Shen Chuxia quickly grabbed his arm, "I really want to see you, but the happiness came too suddenly, and I was blinded all of a sudden."

Ji Chong lowered his eyes and looked at her small mouth.

"But...Your Highness, I didn't prepare anything, I didn't even bring any delicious food to Dad, so I came to see you empty-handed..."

"All unfilial piety is on my head." Ji Chong strode into Dali Temple with his hands behind his back.

"..." Count on you?What's the meaning?
Tonight, Shen Chuxia felt that her brain was out of state.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Ji Chong reminded lightly in front.

Shen Chuxia patted her face and hurried to catch up.

What do you say when you meet?The last time we met, I had a question to ask, and I told Shen Jinlin about the situation of the Shen Yuan family. When we meet tonight, what will she say, what can she say?
Draw a big cake for Shen Jinlin and tell him that you will be able to leave Dali Temple soon?Or tell him that his daughter is very capable, so that Shen Yuan and his family can live well?Let's not talk about whether this kind of 'competence' has the possibility of falling off the horse. She can't say this kind of self-praise.

Late at night, the cell in Dali Temple was even deeper.

It was cold and gloomy, even a mouse would not want to stay in such a ghostly place, Shen Chuxia hugged Ji Chong's arm, as if being chased by a snake, trembling with fear.

"Your Highness... Your Highness, I... Dad, is he alright?" Always staying in such a ghostly place, good people will be tossed to death. Shen Jinlin is still a scholar, and he is probably frozen to death.

Ji Chong didn't reply.

Master Su smiled and said, "Miss Shen, don't worry, the former Master Shen is not hungry, it's good."

"..." Listening to Master Su's tone, Shen Chuxia seemed to be taking credit for someone. See, he took good care of your father.

Suddenly startled, she looked up at Ji Chong.

Walking in this eerie place, he seemed to be walking on his own three-acre land.That's right, Dali Temple is the territory of the Regent, so what is he afraid of.

The little lady's eyes were filled with admiration, and when Ji Chong looked down at her, the tails of his eyes lifted up, revealing a bit of a smile.

Uh... No way, does someone really look like this?Shen Chuxia rolled her eyes secretly, who locked Shen Jinlin in a place where no rats would come to dig holes.

Thank you?Thanks hell.

Thinking this way in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on the face, Shen Chuxia raised the corners of her mouth, forced a smile, and immediately avoided looking at someone by looking around.

The straw was thick, and the quilt was also thick. Tonight, Shen Jinlin felt like he could fall asleep.But he had already slept enough during the day, and he still didn't fall asleep until midnight. He recalled the past endlessly, thinking of the turbulent places in life, his brain became dizzy, and he seemed extraordinarily excited.

If his life was repeated, would he still choose such a path?
Just as he was pondering whether it was worth it, footsteps sounded in the silence and darkness, and he pricked up his ears, at least ten or more people.

There were more than ten people, he was startled suddenly, and sat up suddenly, only when there were beheadings or arraignment of major criminals would there be so many people, and it was in the middle of the night, who could it be?
The footsteps are getting closer and closer to him, is Ji Chong going to kill him?He rushed to the fence, grasped the wooden fence tightly with both hands, and looked in the direction of the lantern.

His daughter's figure suddenly caught his eyes, "Xia'er..." He looked at his daughter nervously in excitement, guessing all the possibilities for her to come in.

Shen Chuxia dared to hold the man's arm in front of her father, and hurried over, "Father..."

"Xia'er..."

The daughter didn't look down and out, she must have been arrested, then she must have found a way to come in to see him, Shen Jinlin felt relieved, and hurried to the far corner to meet her daughter.

"father……"

Just now, I was still thinking about what Shen Jinlin would say, and how to behave naturally, but before she could think about it, tears were already pouring out of her eyes.

The deity is connected with his blood, seeing his relatives in such a harsh environment, has already burst into tears.

"Xia'er, Xia'er, my good daughter..." Shen Jinlin stretched out his trembling hands from the gap in the fence, as if wanting to caress his daughter.

"Father..." Shen Chuxia scrambled to the fence, clasping his hands tightly with both hands, weeping uncontrollably.

In the dark and gloomy corridor, apart from the crying of the Shen family's father and daughter, there was also the sound of footsteps, and Zhishi hurriedly backed away to pick up the conversation with the person who came, their voices were so small that no one could hear them.

After the visitor finished speaking, he saluted and left in a hurry.

Zhishi walked to Ji Chong's side, and said softly, "The men in black searched Tian's house and took away some handkerchiefs and embroidery. Our people followed to the alley and were dumped by them."

When Ji Chong heard this, his eyes lit up.

Zhishi asked, "Do you want to arrest her?" She looked at Shen Jinlin, the woman was once his concubine.

Ji Chong drooped his eyes.

Zhishi immediately understood, "It's Your Highness." She turned around quietly.

"Father, is it cold?" Shen Chuxia's hands were cold, and her tears couldn't help falling down again.

Shen Jinlin shook his head, "It's much better than before."
