Chapter 14 014 He Doesn't Understand

Lin Yunzheng's mother, Princess Jian'an, and today's saint are both descendants of the queen mother.

She is also the aunt of the third prince Sheng Tingye.

Although I don't know how Lin Yunzheng made such a ghostly appearance, it is reasonable to come to visit as a cousin.

Since Shen Qingci hadn't been discovered, of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to expose himself at this time.

She held her breath, and through the gaps covered by the flowers and branches, she watched Lin Yunzheng's servant, Ji Xiang, feed him a sobering ball, then helped him up, and carried him to the front hall.

The guards inside and outside the yard were all called by Lin Yunzheng to chase after Qiuniang.

When Lin Yunzheng left, it happened to give Shen Qingci a chance to leave.

With Lin Yunzheng here, Qiuniang will be fine.

When she finds an opportunity in the future, she will just ask Lin Yunzheng about Qiuniang's situation.

Right now, if she stays here, she won't be able to help much. Instead, she will be prone to accidents.

Leaving aside whether she could explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly, she couldn't argue with just the two slap marks on Lin Yunzheng's face.

After listening for a while, Shen Qingci made sure that there was no movement around here, and then quietly got up from the ground, looking for an opportunity to slip out.

***
Here, the drunk Lin Yunzheng was supported by Ji Xiang, he staggered all the way, and finally reached the side hall.

As soon as his front foot stepped over the threshold, his body staggered, and he fell down again.

Even Jixiang, who was supporting him, was knocked down.

"The king? The king?"

Feeling the cold gaze cast by the third prince three feet away, Ji Xiang subconsciously shivered, knelt on the ground and was about to help Lin Yunzheng.

However, this time Lin Yunzheng did not cooperate at all.

He waved his hand and dismissed Ji Xiang.

This fall made his chaotic mind clear again.

"A Wan is gone, what's the point of my being alive?"

He was lying on the ground, staring blankly at the beam.

A pair of brocade boots stopped beside him.

The owner of the boots was tall and tall, with a face like a crown of jade. Even if he didn't say anything, but just stood here calmly, it gave people a sense of oppression without anger.

He is the third cousin whom he respects and fears.

At the age of 16, he went out with General Wei as a supervising army and quelled three rebellions. When General Wei was trapped, he made a subtle layout and used a surprise army to raid the enemy camp, killing the leader of the rebel with his own hands. The young prince who turned things around.

In normal times, he would have stood up straight like a mouse meeting a cat, a shrill carp.

But now he's a mess.

Life and death are bearish, completely rotten.

"Why, it's just a woman, so it's enough to make you sad."

Sheng Tingye lowered his eyes and looked down at Lin Yunzheng.

There was neither sadness nor joy in those amber eyes, just like his calm tone.

Lin Yunzheng raised his hand to cover his eyes, not looking at his intimidating gaze, and said hoarsely: "She is not an ordinary woman."

"She is A Wan."

"I told you before, I won't marry unless she is my choice."

"If it wasn't for my mother's procrastination to ask people to go to Jiang's house earlier to say goodbye, if she could marry me earlier... Maybe she wouldn't..."

Speaking of this, Lin Yunzheng, who was drunk, suddenly moved his palms away, propped himself up and sat up.

"Third cousin, have you found out the cause of her death?"

Sheng Tingye stood with his hands behind his back, avoiding Lin Yunzheng's burning gaze, and did not say a word.

Lin Yunzheng clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "She can swim, there is absolutely no way she died of drowning!"

You know, she was the one who saved his life by going into the water, and he knows this better than anyone else.

Seeing that Sheng Tingye's lips were tightly closed, she had no intention of continuing the conversation with him.

Lin Yunzheng frowned and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I won't give up on tracking down the murderer!"

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye turned his head and glanced at him.

"Since that's the case, if you are here to die or live, the murderer will stand up by himself?"

These words made Lin Yunzheng's blood-stained face turn even redder.

"Third cousin, you won't understand."

Lin Yunzheng beat his chest and stamped his feet: "You have never been in love with any woman, so you can't understand my feeling that life is better than death."

Sheng Tingye scoffed at this.

In his opinion, the love between men and women is the most shallow and useless thing in the world.

Lin Yunzheng knew it wouldn't make sense to him, and at this moment, he was mostly sober from the wine.

"But mother asked you to come?"

Sheng Tingye stepped over the threshold and said in a calm tone, "Auntie is very worried about you."

Lin Yunzheng thought the same.

He struggled to get up from the ground, "If you don't want me to continue like this, let her remove all the guards in the outer courtyard and let me out, and I won't continue to do stupid things."

Sheng Tingye has already taken a few steps.

I don't know if he agreed or not, Lin Yunzheng shouted at his back: "I will find out the cause of her death!"

"I won't let her die in such an unexplained way."

After yelling these words, Lin Yunzheng staggered, almost unable to stand still.

He raised his hand to hold the door frame, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable grief and anger.

"Auspicious! Bring the wine!"

***
Shen Qingci originally wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, there was no guard in the inner courtyard, but the outer courtyard was tightly surrounded.

Fortunately, she had just reached the door when she heard the movement outside and shrank back hurriedly.

The guards who went after Qiuniang will definitely be back soon.

This place is almost too crowded.

Shen Qingci looked around, only seeing a carriage parked by the door.

She recognized it as Lin Yunzheng's usual car.

There is a hidden compartment inside, and he has taken Shen Qingci to escape countless times from his master's class.

The guard driving the car was ordered to chase Qiuniang, so there was no one here.

The carriage had already been harnessed, and it seemed that Lin Yunzheng was planning to go out, but was stopped by the guards outside.

Shen Qingci was hesitating whether to go into the carriage and hide for a while.

Just at this moment, footsteps sounded from the outer courtyard.

At the same time, she heard someone mention "Changxin Hou Shizi is here".

Lin Yue, son of the Marquis of Changxin, now leads the position of Zuo Shaoqing in Dali Temple.

There was a crisp buzzing in Shen Qingci's head.

Suddenly, he thought of the man he met in the Jiang family's cemetery.

Of course, she was just guessing, not sure.

But no matter what, because of the misunderstanding that was getting darker and darker before, she really didn't want to meet people from Dali Temple.

So, the moment Shen Qingci heard that name, the movements of Shen Qingci's hands were one step faster than her brain, and he climbed into the carriage and hid.

This tossing almost exhausted all her strength.

But before she could open the secret compartment, she heard the footsteps approaching.

Shen Qingci's heart also rose to his throat.

Those who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, and are the most sensitive.

At this time, she didn't even dare to touch the mechanism of the secret compartment.
