Chapter 240 240 Arrangements
As Shen Qingci expected, since Zhang Jinxuan's accident, Sheng Tingye has become more and more busy.

Even though the two lived in the same house, Shen Qingci didn't even see Sheng Tingye for many days.

He kept turning around, and even had very little time to rest. Finally, he was able to take a breath for a while, and it was already the time when Shen Qingci was sleeping deeply in the dead of night.

He just gently leaned against the bed and held her for a nap.

Shen Qingci vaguely felt that there was such a person around him while he was half asleep and half awake, but when he woke up the next morning, his side was already empty.

A branch of red plum on the small table beside the bed exudes a cool and delicate fragrance.

Although Ting Lan didn't say it clearly, Shen Qingci knew that he should have broken it.

Ting Lan paid special attention to these things since Mi Xiang was tricked into Wang's house by a servant girl last time.

And she was very disciplined, as long as Shen Qingci didn't order something, she would never take it upon herself, even if it was as small as putting a broken branch flower on her bedside.

Shen Qingci casually took the plum branch in his hand.

I don't know if it's because the plum blossoms are delicate and beautiful, and her face is a little more beautiful, or when she thinks of that person, her cheeks turn red and hot uncontrollably.

The wound on her foot has almost healed.

As long as you don't use too much force, normal walking is no problem at all.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Laba porridge was boiled in the kitchen, and Shen Qingci was about to ask someone to deliver a copy to Sheng Tingye, when someone he hadn't seen for a long time appeared outside the house.

He was dressed in a black brocade robe and a large cloak, and his long ink-like hair was only fixed with an ebony hairpin. Compared with him who wore a white jade crown on weekdays, he was a bit more elegant and elegant.

"Busy working?"

This was the first time the two met since Sheng Tingye expressed his feelings that day.

When Shen Qingci was awake.

After these days, she thought she had already adjusted her mentality.

But she never thought that with such a pair of loving and affectionate eyes, the defense she had built up with great difficulty had already begun to crumble.

"Ah."

Sheng Tingye responded lightly.

His complexion was as calm as ever, without any emotional ups and downs.

The wind and snow were raging outside, he should have just come back from the outside, and there was still a thin layer of snow on his shoulders.

Seeing Shen Qingci, he didn't come in immediately, but stood at the door after untiing the cloak on his body, and took a few steps closer to her after the chill on his body faded.

Shen Qingci glanced at the Laba porridge, and beckoned to him: "Come on, I must have a bowl of Laba porridge today, it can drive away diseases and evil spirits."

"it is good."

Sheng Tingye responded, walked to her side, and ate Laba porridge with her.

The people serving in the house have already been dismissed.

Here they are the only ones left facing each other.

The two of them didn't speak, and the only thing left in the huge room was the crackling of sparks that occasionally burst out from the charcoal basin.

After a long silence, Sheng Tingye spoke first.

"I will go to Qiankuling with Zhang Zongyao on the [-]th of the month. I will be mixed in with the accompanying team. If all goes well, Yunzhou City will soon be under martial law and preparing for war. You may not be safe here. I will leave a team of hidden guards for you. In addition The house has been arranged, and there is a secret escape route inside, if there is danger, it is a way out."

"You don't have to do anything, just protect yourself and wait for me at ease."

"I have sent someone to secretly send the Zhang family's criminal evidence to the capital. Qiankuling must do it before Sheng Tingjing finds out, otherwise..."

If the Zhang family and Sheng Tingjing planned to kill each other, the consequences would be disastrous.

After finishing speaking in one breath, Sheng Tingye was not surprised to see Shen Qingci's expression, obviously she had already expected it.

He wasn't surprised at all, after all, with her intelligence, how could she not guess it.

Sheng Tingye raised his hand and pinned a strand of her hair behind her ear, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Shen Qingci subconsciously avoided his burning gaze, thought for a while, and asked, "When will the lord leave?"

Sheng Tingye's eyes fell on her trembling eyelashes.

His tone subconsciously softened a bit.

"After an hour."

Shen Qingci lowered her eyes, faster than she imagined.

Sheng Tingye sighed softly, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Shen Qingci subconsciously clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, and then suddenly let go.

She raised her eyes to meet Sheng Tingye's searching gaze: "Will the prince lose?"

Sheng Tingye's tone was cold but firm: "No."

Shen Qingci smiled slightly, "Then I will wait for the prince in Yunzhou City."

Sheng Tingye didn't get the answer he wanted, and a look of disappointment flashed across Sheng Tingye's eyes.

There was a bit of melancholy in his tone: "Madam is so cruel-hearted, she refuses to say a few words about herself when she is parting from life and death."

Although Shen Qingci blushed a little at his words, she still couldn't help it: "Bah bah bah, what nonsense are you talking about!"

As soon as the words fell, Sheng Tingye pulled her into his arms.

With his chin resting on the top of her hair, he said in a low voice, "I can't spend the first New Year's Eve with you in time, but I promise you, I will be there every New Year's Eve in the future."

Unknowingly, the tip of Shen Qingci's nose became sour.

Even with his guarantee, she knew how difficult this trip would be.

Qiankuling was already tricky, plus this unexpected snow disaster.

His trip was like breaking into a wolf's lair and a tiger's lair, there was a slight difference...

As soon as Shen Qingci was infected by his emotions, he subconsciously nodded, "You must mean what you say."

But when the words fell, she realized that something was wrong. Before she could speak, Sheng Tingye said with a smile: "So, you promised me?"

She clearly said that he promised to come back alive, but this person missed the point. When she promised to accompany him every New Year's Eve, she counted this sentence as her response.

Shen Qingci: "..."

Dare to dig another hole for her to jump into.

This person is really... full of calculations and cannot be taken lightly.

If you are not careful, you will be bypassed.

Shen Qingci was about to annoy him, but when he heard him chuckle, he hugged her a little tighter, and changed his tone, "You don't need to answer me in a hurry."

"I'll wait for you to let go of your worries and open up to me completely."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci's heart trembled.

He could see that he still had concerns.

It's just... Before she could think about it, the second half of his sentence suddenly made her startled.

"Wanwan, wait for me."

Shen Qingci: "!!!"

Her body froze in his embrace.

His voice was low, and for a moment, she almost thought she had misheard.

Shen Qingci maintained the posture of being hugged by him, motionless, she held her breath subconsciously, trying to make her voice sound natural and casual: "You just...what did you call me?"

Sheng Tingye rubbed her cheek against the top of her hair, her voice was as cold as ever.

But listening carefully, there was still a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Jiang Yuwan, you really underestimate me."
