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

Shen Qingci quickly lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was already in Chonghua Palace.

All the furnishings in the palace are according to her preferences, but to her, this is just a cage to lock her up.

Not only the hall door was locked from the outside, but even the half-opened windows were locked.

It is really necessary to confirm her sentence - whether it traps her for a while or for a lifetime.

Shen Qingci moved his fingertips to mobilize his internal strength, and heard Qiuyan, a court lady at the side, bowed and said: "Zhou's palm print, do you want to eat?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingci propped himself up and sat up from the bed.

She glanced at the gray sky outside, and it was almost time to light the lamps.

She slept for so long that most of the day had passed.

Shen Qingci has no appetite at all, but right now is not the time to starve himself.

She sighed softly, "Let's pass it on."

Qiuyan got up and gave orders.

Shen Qingci wanted to get up, but her body became unsteady and she almost fell down. Qiuyan at the side quickly stepped forward to support her shoulders.

"Be careful with Zhou's palm print, and just tell your slaves if you have something to do."

Shen Qingci didn't look at her, she looked over Qiuyan to the Ruijin Bo Mountain Furnace not far away, where the smoke with orchid fragrance was drifting away from there.

The problem is there.

Seemingly seeing what Shen Qingci was thinking, Qiuyan bowed and said, "My lady is also for the palm print."

Shen Qingci didn't say a word, while Qiuyan silently helped Shen Qingci to sit down at the desk.

There was movement outside the door soon.

Qiuyan got up and went to the door, and said hello to the person outside the door, and soon the person walked around to the front window and handed in a food box through the half-open front window.

Qiuniang took the food box to Shen Qingci and opened it. It contained a cup of millet porridge, accompanied by a few side dishes that Shen Qingci usually likes to eat.

Qiuniang took out the porridge, and seeing that Shen Qingci couldn't use his strength, she wanted to feed it to Shen Qingci with a spoon, but Shen Qingci refused.

"Leave it alone."

Shen Qingci was fascinated by looking at a few side dishes, until Qiuyan reminded her, she said: "Did the lady say when she will let me out?"

Qiuyan shook her head.

Shen Qingci waved his hand, "I want to be alone, you go down first."

"This……"

Qiuyan looked embarrassed, "My lady told the slaves to take good care of Zhou's palm print."

The implication is that the so-called care is afraid that she will slip away and never leave her.

Shen Qingci fell silent.

Qiuyan stood at the side embarrassed, she tried to persuade Shen Qingci to eat well, but Shen Qingci didn't even give her a look.

Seeing that it was getting late, the food on the table was completely cold.

Shen Qingci propped himself up, and leaned back on the imperial concubine's bed, "Get out, I have no appetite."

Qiuyan didn't move for a long time.

Shen Qingci glanced at her indifferently, and was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door.

Three urgent and two slow, very rhythmic.

Hearing that voice, Qiuyan panicked, her fingers trembling just now when she touched the edge of the bowl.

The knocking sounded again.

Qiuyan didn't even dare to look into Shen Qingci's eyes, and hurriedly walked to the door and answered.

There was a sound of unlocking the door.

Soon, as the door was opened, a man dressed as a eunuch walked in from the outside.

Qiuniang just had a face-to-face meeting with that person, and she almost couldn't stand still.

"Zhou's palm print has not been eaten yet."

Her voice trembled with unconcealable fear.

It was already dark outside, and half of the man's figure was hidden in the shadows. In addition, he came in with his head bowed and Qiuyan in front of him, so Shen Qingci didn't let Shen Qingci see his face clearly at the first time. .

"It's okay."

"Go and watch outside."

The moment the familiar voice sounded at the door, the coolness brought by his body also made Shen Qingci feel goosebumps all over his body.

Qiuyan withdrew as he said.

When Shen Qingci raised his head and looked towards the door, he gradually stood up straight as the door was closed.

That jade-like figure looked even more slender and tall in this dimly lit hall.

Even in the attire of an eunuch, it was hard to hide his handsomeness.

Especially those eyes, as if washed by the mountain stream, clear and bright, it seems that they are always smiling, but there is no warmth in that smile.

Xiao's royal family is born with a good skin, especially him from the direct line.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

It's still the same opening remark as if it hadn't moved for ten thousand years.

It was still the deadly enemy that Shen Qingci wished to chop off with his own hands, Gu Qiuli.

Ignoring the coldness in Shen Qingci's eyes, Gu Qiuli stepped forward and stood three feet away from Shen Qingci.

He looked at Shen Qingci with a half-smile: "Should I call you Miss Shen, or Zhou Zongyin?"

Shen Qingci also smiled faintly: "You can do whatever you want, as long as you are happy, even if you call me aunt, I will be happy to respond."

Gu Qiuli was not annoyed at being choked by her like this.

He pulled a chair over, sat down calmly opposite Shen Qingci, and said with a smile: "I have to admire, you have a good attitude, you are in this kind of field, and you still have time to talk to me."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci propped his cheek with one hand, put the other on the desk, and asked curiously, "Where have I been?"

"Anyway, I'm many times better than your Excellency who was shouted and beaten like a mouse crossing the street."

Gu Qiuli didn't take it seriously: "Being cut off your arm, trapped here like a canary, even your life is in danger, so it's okay?"

Shen Qing gave him a blank look: "If you came here to quarrel with me, then you can go back now."

"of course not."

Gu Qiuli smiled, took the teapot in front of him and poured himself a cup of tea.

After taking two sips leisurely, he said: "You are so smart, you might as well guess."

Shen Qingci did not answer his question directly, but said with emotion: "That cousin of mine is not completely blind."

"At least, although her Young Master Xiao has used her, he still has a little affection for her."

As soon as the words fell, there seemed to be a crack in Gu Qiuli's smiling mask.

His fingertips holding the teacup turned slightly white, and his tone towards Shen Qingci became a little more oppressive.

He finally got straight to the point: "Where did you hide her?"

This time it was Shen Qingci's turn to spread his hands, smiling harmlessly: "Your Excellency is so smart, you might as well guess."

Gu Qiuli's face turned pale from being choked, but he quickly calmed down, and turned to smile at Shen Qingci: "You are trapped here, I think you must not know what happened outside."

"That master is not a soft-hearted master. You disobeyed her because of Sheng Tingye, did you think about the consequences?"

Shen Qingci closed her eyes and fell silent.

Gu Qiuli knocked on the teacup, and continued: "Except for me, no one can help you out now."

Seeing that Shen Qingci was unmoved, Gu Qiuli said with a smile: "At a later date, even if your husband hadn't been killed by her, he wouldn't be able to last long if the poison took hold. Don't you really think about it?" end of this chapter)
