After rebirth, the regent refused to divorce

Chapter 169 The Price of Victory or Loss

Concubine Su Gui asked suspiciously: "What kind of method is it?"

The King of Shu smiled and said: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, everything will be clear when the time is right, we just need to wait in peace."

His fingers slowly twirled on the table, seemingly outlining the word "Yao".

Then, wipe it off hard.

……

"hiss."

Shen Qingyi who was in a daze suddenly shivered.

She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms suspiciously.

"Why do I suddenly feel a chill..."

She murmured to herself, looking subconsciously at the red maple tree outside the window through the half-opened window. A maple leaf fell off and its branch fell on the bamboo frame, covered with a layer of crystal-clear leaves belonging to late autumn. of frost.

Shen Qingyi stared at the red maple leaf in a daze, and for no reason thought of the small maple leaf island that he went to with Chu Zhengyue that day.

These days, Shen Jingnian always stays behind closed doors, suffocating alone in the courtyard, even she and Qing Ling, his two younger sisters whom he has always loved, politely refuse to visit.

Shen Qingyi didn't know whether he had sent the map to the third son of the Chu family, but because of the surveillance of the King of Shu and her current status as Kang and Princess, she couldn't send things to the front line in an open manner, so she was really anxious.

Seeing that the autumn is about to pass, Shen Qingyi is out of her mind, unable to eat and sleep, even if she barely falls asleep, every dream is Chu Zhengyue wearing a blood-stained battle armor, kneeling on the ground and crying out dying. She woke up frightened by the appearance of "Shen Ayao", covered in piercing cold sweat, and couldn't fall asleep for the rest of the long night.

No news from the frontier had come, and she became more and more restless day by day, and the ominous premonition in her heart was like a cloud that was about to rain, getting bigger and bigger, making her unable to breathe.

When she was frowning and looking sad, someone quietly stepped onto the threshold, slowly approached behind her, and then stretched out her hand to her silently——

"Ouch!"

Shen Qingyi was caught off guard by being patted on the shoulder and couldn't help being startled. Turning her head, she saw a smiling beauty standing behind her.

Zhou Mengfu's complexion is much better than when she first came here, she has lost her sickly look, she has not had much to worry about during her life in the Shen family, and her demeanor has subtly faded away from her cautious and gentle eyebrows It reveals the meaning of being a lady, like a budding hibiscus flower gradually blooming, revealing the beauty hidden in the depths as time goes by.

Shen Qingyi believed that Zhou Mengfu's beauty would definitely cause quite a stir in Beijing before winter.

She did intend to bring Zhou Mengfu and Shen Jingnian together, but with Shen Jingnian's current dejected appearance, the two of them really can't see any progress. She herself is also trapped in love, and she has no means to separate herself for a while, so she can't help the two of them.

Seeing clearly that it was her, Shen Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said angrily, "Mengfu, you scared me, why did you come in quietly without making a sound? Liuying and the other girls must be slacking off." , I will reprimand them."

Then he got up and went.

At this moment, Zhou Mengfu sneered when she heard her words, reached out and pressed her shoulders to let her sit down, and said, "Did you forget? When you returned to the mansion, you ordered Qing Luo and Liu Ying to order someone to take the palace There are only a group of sweeping maids and women in the courtyard, let alone me, so naturally they will not come in to report."

Mentioning the rewards in the palace, Shen Qingyi's head grew dizzy, she waved her hands irritably, and complained: "Don't mention those rewards, you must bring me with you when you go back to the palace to hold a banquet, and listen to those harem women fighting with each other. , the food is not allowed to take an extra bite, and the eyes are staring at me for fear that I can't find the wrong thing, it is almost suffocating to death."

As she spoke, she thought of something again, and said: "Oh, by the way, I specially left a piece of silver silk satin for you to make clothes, and a ruby ​​necklace is also a top-quality product. You are born white, and you must look better on it than me. When I came back, I ordered someone to send it to your room, did you see it?"

Zhou Mengfu said: "Of course I came to look for you when I saw it. During this whole autumn, you sent me things every day, either pearls or emeralds or silks, almost filling up my room. "

Sitting beside Shen Qingyi, she persuaded: "Since you are so reluctant, why do you need to go? On the contrary, you are reluctant, why don't you find a way to avoid it once and for all."

"Once and for all?"

Shen Qingyi chewed these four words, his eyes became more thoughtful.

After a while, her eyes lit up, she got up and gave Zhou Mengfu a big hug.

"Mengfu, you really wake up the dreamer with just one word!"

After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to kiss her on the face, and then excitedly lifted his skirt and ran out the door.

Zhou Mengfu couldn't help being stunned by the branded lip mark before she recovered, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch her cheek. It took a long time to realize it after a while, and she couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"This spooky Yao girl will know when she thinks of something again..."

On the other side, Shen Qingyi hastily got into the carriage leaving the house.

She walked in a grand manner, which aroused the suspicion of the spies of the Shu Palace.

The spies confirmed that Shen Qingyi was going in the correct direction of the Linjiang Palace, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately rushed to the Shu Palace.

He reported Shen Qingyi's going to the Linjiang Palace in detail. After Zhao Xu listened, he couldn't help stroking Yu Ruyi in his palm, and muttered: "This girl has been very peaceful these two days. After the third son of the Chu family left, I didn't see her. What action is there, could it be that she rushed here at this time, because she knew about this king's plan?"

An Zhuang said: "No, just now I saw it for real. It was the Miss Zhou who borrowed from the mansion who went to the princess's courtyard. , The princess is a smart person, so she will definitely not involve such a girl in it."

Zhao Xu clicked his tongue.

"You're right, this girl Shen Ayao will never do useless things, I'm afraid her behavior is just to show me, since she thinks highly of me, if I don't accept the move, it seems that I have wronged her good intentions."

He flicked his sleeves to support his forehead, half closed his eyes, and said: "Go and see what she is going to do, and after you find out, come here and report."

The spy said: "Understood!"

Zhao Xu stroked Yu Ruyi and frowned in confusion.

"Shen Ayao... What the hell are you planning? You are acting like this at this time, but you want to lure me into the game?

"I don't know who wins and who loses in the game between you and me.

"If you lose, the price will not be small.

"——Shen Ayao."

There was a sudden thunder.

Alternating black and white light penetrated through the blue moon window curtains, suddenly illuminating his face pale, and then buried in the shadows, his originally handsome and flawless face became extraordinarily ferocious under the alternation of thunder and lightning.

The air became colder by three points with the flickering thunder and lightning.

The rustling autumn rain crackled and fell.

The play named Qiu is about to leave.
