After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 198 Chapter 198
Shen Qingci followed Sheng Tingye back to the carriage of the palace.

As soon as she entered the door, she immediately asked Qiu Yun to go quietly and speak to Qin Jiaojiao.

Qiuniang and Liusu disappeared one after another, and there was only one left, Mother Liao, who must be watched.

Even if she was crazy now, Shen Qingci did not dare to take it lightly.

She was thinking, when her injury recovers better, she will find a remote courtyard in the palace and take her over.

It's still reassuring to put it under her nose.

Moreover, Mother Liao is Shen Qingci's nurse, so she is not afraid of others' irresponsible remarks.

As soon as Sheng Tingye returned to the mansion, he summoned his subordinates in the study and stayed busy until late at night.

This time, in order to prevent himself from falling asleep, Shen Qingci sat directly by the desk, took a book of local customs and figures of Chu, and waited while reading.

But still can't resist sleepiness.

When Sheng Tingye came back from the study, he thought Shen Qingci had already fallen asleep, so he just left the light on for him.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw her propping her cheek with one hand and leaning against the table. The book in the other hand had already slipped to the ground, her head pecking like a chicken.

No matter how lightly his movements were, as the door was pushed open, there was still a gust of wind, blowing the candlelight flickering and making the lights dim.

Falling on her pretty face, Sheng Tingye's heart suddenly softened.

The wind and snow raging outside, and the shadows of swords and swords in the hall disappeared in this instant.

No matter how tired he was, the moment he saw her, Sheng Tingye's heart suddenly felt a kind of peace that he had never felt before.

However, it was only for a moment.

In the next moment, there was a pain like a needle prick in my heart.

Before the piercing pain spread, Sheng Tingye closed his eyes and quickly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart. He didn't open his eyes again until he regained his composure.

In those pitch-black eyes, there was no trace of emotion and coldness.

Hearing the movement, Shen Qingci raised his eyes, and met such a pair of eyes.

"My lord..."

Shen Qingci suddenly woke up.

She was about to stand up, but she didn't know that her legs were numb after being pressed for too long.

As soon as Shen Qingci moved, a sudden rush of numbness rushed up, and she had no choice but to sit back.

Sheng Tingye was already preparing to go to the bathroom next door. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

Shen Qingci nodded, but when he looked up, he found Nanny Gui waiting by the door.

She had no choice but to lower her voice, pretending to be coy and said: "When I get on the bed later, I want to have a few words of kindness with the prince."

Sheng Tingye understood, turned his head and said to the few people outside the door who were about to come in to serve: "Put down the hot water, let's all get back."

When he came out of the bathroom, Shen Qingci was already sitting on the couch waiting.

If she didn't know that she was deliberately dismissing Nanny Gui, Sheng Tingye's heart would feel a little tight when he thought of what she said just now.

Perhaps in order to avoid embarrassment, Shen Qingci had already changed into his pajamas in just this moment.

Since he lived in this house, he has never seen her wearing the gauze dress before.

Now the clothes, from the neckline down, almost covered her whole body tightly.

Moreover, the hem of the clothes was so wide that even her exquisite figure could no longer be seen.

Not to mention anything else, at least it shows that she really doesn't have that kind of thought towards him.

Otherwise, it would not be so defensive and concealed.

As soon as this thought came up, Sheng Tingye felt a little blocked in his heart, and he was indescribably irritable.

But he quickly suppressed it, and mocked secretly: That's good too, so as not to arouse those charming thoughts in him, and he is the one who suffers in the end.

But he still underestimated her power over him.

Even if she was dressed like this, doing nothing but lying on his couch, it was an irresistible desire for him.

What's more, her bright eyes are like water, and she has a naturally good voice. When she opened her mouth, "My lord..."

The city walls that had just been built in Sheng Tingye's heart collapsed in an instant.

This feeling of being able to see, but being unable to think, touch, and do anything tormented him so much that his soul was going to be distorted.

His steps stopped abruptly beside the bed, and he didn't take another step forward.

Not knowing why, Shen Qingci frowned: "My lord? What's wrong with you?"

Sheng Tingye's breathing became a little heavier.

He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, threw off the quilt, and lay down beside the bed, without even throwing a glance at Shen Qingci.

"No problem."

Shen Qingci could feel his mood getting worse, but it was clear that he was fine before entering the room.

But after taking a shower, it's like a different person.

Everyone else is angry about getting up, so is it possible that this master is still angry about taking a bath?
Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Shen Qingci shouldn't have touched this bad luck at this time.

But as soon as she thought about what he said in the carriage today that he invited him to Qingzhou tomorrow, Shen Qingci couldn't wait.

"My lord."

Sheng Tingye had already spoken before, so no one was left around the house, only guards outside the courtyard.

Shen Qingci lowered his voice, "The Qingzhou matter...is there no room for change?"

What she wanted to say was that even if Wang Qingyang was the Marquis of Changping of Chu State, the two countries had already ceased fighting.

Since the empress of Chu came to power, there was no more friction on the border between Chu and Qi. Even the general Qin who was stationed at Nanjin Pass was full of praise for that empress.

Wang Qingyang just lived in seclusion in Chu State, and did nothing, so why was his family ransacked and exterminated?

Moreover, since he is the uncle of the empress, wouldn't Daqi be afraid of angering the empress by doing so, causing the relationship between the two countries to break down and start fighting again?
Sheng Tingye has adjusted his mentality now.

He only heard Shen Qingci's tone, and he knew her concerns.

"If he didn't do anything, with the current relationship between the two countries, naturally nothing will be done to him."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci did not feel relaxed.

Because I heard Sheng Tingye's tone in the study before, it was clear that he was sure about using Qingzhou Wang's family to suppress Sheng Tingjing.

Listening to him now...

Does it mean that he already has the evidence that the Wang family colluded with the enemy and treason?
Shen Qingci's eyelids twitched.

"My lord, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Shen Qingci lowered his eyes, "I once heard Jiang Yuwan say that her grandfather was only obsessed with the way of doing business and being kind to others..."

How could it be possible to do something that would harm Daqi?
Sheng Tingye did not refute Shen Qingci's words.

As soon as he raised his hand, he waved a strong wind to extinguish the candle.

In the darkness, he could only hear him say in a calm and calm voice: "Yes or no, going to Qingzhou will have its own consequences."

Shen Qingci still wanted to say something, but he heard him say again: "I have already reported Wang Qingyang's identity to my father before."

"If there are no accidents, we can leave the day after tomorrow."

The sage already knew that the matter could not be turned around, and the Wang family had to investigate it.

However, the day after tomorrow...

So fast!
Although Shen Qingci was surprised, he quickly calmed down.

She subconsciously clenched the corner of the quilt, and said with some hope: "My lord, can you allow me to go with you?"

In the darkness, unable to see Sheng Tingye's expression clearly, unable to wait for his response, Shen Qingci became more and more uncertain.

Afraid of being rejected by him, or asked why.

Shen Qingci's mind turned a thousand times, and he even thought of a way to deal with it.

But before she could speak, she suddenly heard Sheng Tingye's usual cold voice, "Okay."

It's that easy, do you agree?

Things went smoothly beyond Shen Qingci's expectations.

For a moment, Shen Qingci thought he had misheard.

She was still in a daze when the bedding around her suddenly moved.

A pair of big hands wrapped around her waist, dragged her into the bed, and pulled her into his arms.

"Go to sleep."

She leaned against his chest.

His warm breath sprayed on her neck.

Shen Qingci's body froze.

When she was half asleep and half awake, the feeling of being held in someone's arms... was not an illusion!
