Chapter 183 Self-evident
Shen Yifeng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Huh, with you holding him, it's too late for him to be happy. He probably doesn't want me to go over and help him, right?"

Lin Jingmo blushed immediately when he heard this: "You are so glib, what are you going to say?"

She raised her eyes again and met Shang Shixu's eyes, and sure enough, he was staring at her with a smile.

Lin Jingmo quickly lowered his head, hugging Shang Shixu hard to support him from falling, and turning his head away from looking at the two of them.

Shang Shixu saw that she was shy, so he said to Shen Yifeng, "Master Shen, please help me."

Only then did Shen Yifeng reach out to support Shang Shixu and send him back to the room.

He helped Shang Shixu sit by the bed, suddenly put away his usual cynicism, and said with a little worry: "Lin Jingmo, it's true that there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell and you just rush in. Do you know, Chenzhou what is the place?"

Lin Jingmo said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Of course I know. Not only do I know where Chenzhou is, I have also lived in Chenzhou. This little girl is not talented and knows very well about King Zhao and his palace. It will definitely be useful for me to stay."

After that, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the clearly visible whip marks on her forearms.

Shen Yifeng couldn't help but frowned when he saw her scars: "These injuries? How could you do this?"

Lin Jingmo replied: "I came to Chenzhou because of my understanding. On the surface, Qi Xuanyi is an idle vassal king, but in fact he has great ambitions. Not only we know this." She glanced at Shang Shixu and continued: " I’m afraid… His Majesty also knows very well.”

Shang Shixu lowered his eyes and stopped looking at her.

Lin Jingmo continued: "Obviously everyone knew what he wanted to do, but his status as a vassal king was like a gold medal to avoid death. In order to learn from the experience of the previous dynasty's demise, the late emperor made all his brothers of the same clan who had made meritorious deeds a vassal state when he founded the country. The king also left a rule that no members of the same clan are allowed to kill each other, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the ancestral hall after death. Therefore, without concrete evidence, King Zhao must not be touched."

Shen Yifeng rubbed his slightly aching head and said: "Yes, no matter where we are, we will be chased by his people. That's why we divided our troops into two groups. On the one hand, we came to Chenzhou Mansion with a big fanfare, and on the other hand, we arranged for you Let Chen Tiehu and Chen Tiehu quietly return to Beijing with the evidence! You came to Chenzhou with such indifference..."

As he spoke, he looked behind Lin Jingmo: "Where is Chen Tiehu? Where is the evidence?"

Lin Jingmo's eyes were evasive and he said with a guilty conscience: "I asked him to return to Beijing with the evidence first. If he didn't take me with him, he would go back faster."

Shang Shixu's eyes lost all emotion and he didn't speak.

Shen Yifeng's eyes wandered and he said in a joking tone: "It's not that I'm worried about the evidence. I'm mainly worried that you're in danger, isn't it?"

Lin Jingmo glanced at Shang Shixu secretly, lowered his head and replied, "I'm even more afraid... that you are in danger."

Shen Yifeng said with a bad smile: "What kind of temperament does the second girl of the Lin family have to care about a playboy like me?" After saying that, he glanced at the expressionless Shang Shixu and said with some taste: "I'm afraid you are not worried about your husband's tightness. , I have been driving all day long, and I don’t feel relieved until I see that my sweetheart is safe and sound, right?”

Lin Jingmo didn't care about the way he looked at her. He just sat on the bed and took Shang Shixu's arm and said, "So what? He is my husband to begin with. It's not that we are shameful, but we are afraid that you can't say it."

Hearing this, Shang Shixu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

But Shen Yifeng said with an exaggerated expression: "I'm convinced, ladies from aristocratic families are so shameless and shameless. I'd better ask my sisters to comfort my injured heart."

After that, he left the room, not forgetting to close the door when he left.

"Master Shen." Just as the door was about to close, Shang Shixu called out to Shen Yifeng: "Master Marquis, could you please ask your sister to bring a basin of hot water in?" Shen Yifeng narrowed his eyes and looked up and down. Shang Shixu said, "It's already this time, do you still care about this?" He curled his lips and said, "Okay." Then he closed the door.

After Shen Yifeng left, Lin Jingmo was a little at a loss. When he saw Shang Shixu, his face was dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.

So he let go of the arms that were held intimately just now, and stood up unnaturally.

Shang Shixu noticed that she let go of her arms and said, "Sit down."

Lin Jingmo turned to look at him in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Shang Shixu responded coldly.

The maid came in with a basin filled with hot water: "The Marquis ordered the villain to bring hot water."

"Thank you." Shang Shixu nodded.

After the maid left, Lin Jingmo asked again with some confusion: "This is..."

Shang Shixu met her eyes, as gentle as water, without reproach or confusion, and said: "You have been traveling all day, are your feet broken? Take advantage of the hot water to wash well, then apply some ointment and have a good rest." .”

Lin Jingmo's eyes filled with tears when he heard this, and he said with grievance: "Don't you blame me for coming to Chenzhou without permission?"

Shang Shixu stretched out his hand to hold Lin Jingmo and said with a smile: "No matter where you are, I will protect you and I will never let you get hurt again. I just saw the scars on your arms. I just hate that I was covered in pork." Heart and cruelty leave you. If I were here, I would never let them beat you like this."

Lin Jingmo tried his best to control himself not to cry, but the tears still flowed out: "When they beat me, I didn't seem to feel any pain, because my heart... my heart didn't seem to hurt anymore. , I have lost so much that I don’t even have the ability to feel pain anymore. When I was beaten, I didn’t feel pain at all, I was just happy, so... I am getting closer and closer to my successful revenge."

"But it hurts." Shang Shixu said hysterically.

"You?" Lin Jingmo's eyes evaded and asked, "Will you?"

How could someone who once wanted to kill me feel pain because of me?

He sadly reached out and hugged Lin Jingmo, crying out of sight: "They didn't beat me, but my heart was bleeding... Madam... I beg you, don't do this to me again." Leave everything to me, and I will help you."

Lin Jingmo said with tears: "Can I...believe you?"

Shang Shixu raised his head, and Lin Jingmo looked at the tears on his face in surprise. He had always kept his emotions and anger hidden, but at this moment, his sadness was clearly revealed.

As strong as he is, he has never hesitated no matter how many times he has been injured, but at this moment he feels like a child... It turns out that he also... can feel pain!
The two people hugged each other. Even if they didn't say a word at this moment, it was enough to express their feelings...
