Chapter 73 What is evil?
Chapter 73 What is evil?
His heart beat suddenly stagnated, and the faint itching in his heart grew wildly like vines all over the mountains and plains again.
But she has learned how to behave, no matter how agitated her heart is, her expression is very calm.Qianqian raised her eyes and smiled, her expression was full of generosity, and her voice was clear and clear, "What are you talking about, Prime Minister Shen, you are a distinguished guest of our country, so naturally you cannot neglect it."
Shen Chuhan stared at her deeply, his eyes were dark, as if he wanted to see through all the thoughts in her heart.
In this game, whoever shows cowardice first loses. ·
Song Qinghuan didn't want Shen Chuhan to see any clues anymore, so he slowly put the dagger back into the whip handle without fear or panic.
"That is to say, if someone else changed today, Di Ji would still treat him like this, wouldn't she?" Shen Chuhan's voice sounded again next to his ear, full of probing, deep and gloomy, like fine wine that has been brewed for many years.
"Yes." Song Qinghuan paused slightly, but answered without hesitation.
She has lost her composure too many times tonight, and she must not lose her sense of proportion again.
Shen Chuhan stared at her for a long time, the heat in his eyes finally gradually cooled down, he lowered his eyes and whispered, "It's getting late, go to sleep."
Song Qinghuan hummed, wiped the silver hairpin that was used just now with vine leaves, and handed it back to Shen Chuhan.
Shen Chuhan didn't answer for a long time, he just stared at Song Qinghuan's small white hand stretched out in front of him.
Song Qinghuan frowned.She knew that he was obsessed with cleanliness, but the hairpin dealt with his own wounds.Helplessly pursing his lips, just as he was about to speak, Shen Chuhan suddenly stretched out his hand and took the silver hairpin.
"Then I'll go to bed first." Song Qinghuan felt relieved.At this time, the ugly time had passed, her nerves were tense all night, she was already exhausted, and she really didn't have the energy to deal with Shen Chuhan anymore.
After tidying up hastily, he quickly lay down with his clothes on.
She was really exhausted, and she fell asleep not long after she lay down.
The fire burned most of the night, and was not extinguished until dawn.As soon as the fire was extinguished, Song Qinghuan felt a little cold in her body. She was already afraid of the cold, so she shivered and huddled together.
At this time, she vaguely felt that there was a heat source beside her, which seemed to emit a steady stream of heat, tempting her to keep approaching.
Move closer, move closer, embrace her with your hands, and fall asleep comfortably again.
Early the next morning, she was awakened by the chirping of birds in the mountains.
Feeling the glare of light coming in from outside the cave, she realized that it was getting late, so she opened her eyes in a daze.
What just came into view was a piece of brocade cloth embroidered with dark patterns in sky blue.She frowned, thinking how familiar the fabric seemed.It's just that I just woke up from my sleep, and my mind still can't keep up.
Just as he was about to raise his head and rub his eyes, he suddenly felt that the touch of his hand was not right.
With a jolt in his brain, he suddenly remembered where he had seen the blue brocade fabric embroidered with dark patterns that day - last night, Shen Chuhan was wearing a brocade robe of such a pattern and color!
She woke up completely, and a bad premonition rose in her mind.
Carefully lowering his eyes, he looked down.When she saw where her hands were, Song Qinghuan wanted to die!
Her hand - actually rested on Shen Chuhan's waist.
Although she hugged Shen Chuhan several times last night, those were life-threatening moments, and she could not tolerate hypocrisy and hesitation.But now, she not only fell asleep in Shen Chuhan's arms, but also put her arms around his waist!
What kind of evil did I fall into? !
Before time travel, she worked as an agent for ten years. No matter what kind of environment she was in, she would always maintain a high degree of vigilance. This habit had already been deeply rooted in her bones.Maybe she was slack in her previous life, but she was definitely not so defenseless.Why did she act completely different from herself when she met Shen Chuhan? !
After a moment of panic, she took a deep breath to calm down.
As long as Shen Chuhan didn't notice, there was still room for redemption.
Glancing at Shen Chuhan quietly, seeing that he still seemed to be in a deep sleep, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took his hands away calmly, and then moved his body to the side bit by bit.
She asked herself that she did it quietly, but she didn't know that Shen Chuhan didn't fall asleep at all last night, and he had a panoramic view of all her little movements!
She fell asleep very quickly last night, but Shen Chuhan was suffering very much.
He watched helplessly as the woman he had longed for was sleeping next to him, but he couldn't do anything. There seemed to be countless ants biting in his heart, and the fire in his waist and abdomen was burning more and more intensely, scorching continuously. Follow his reason.
Song Qinghuan's sleeping face was very peaceful, her jade-white face was dyed a blush carmine color due to the reflection of the fire, her long eyelashes were lightly covered, and a fan-shaped shadow fell, like two rows of small hooks brushed together, there was no need to do anything, It can hook people's souls away.
Her breathing is even and long, and her small diamond lips are moist and shiny.
His eyes fell on Song Qinghuan's red lips, thinking of the soft and cool touch just now, Shen Chuhan felt his throat tighten, and he had an uncontrollable desire to go straight to the sky.
He has seen all her charming and tactful moments, how can he forget the feeling of knowing her taste? !
Just staring at Song Qinghuan for a long time, Shen Chuhan struggled to suppress the desire in his heart, and restrained himself from doing anything he shouldn't have done.
With a wry smile, he stood up with difficulty, and walked out of the cave lightly.
Standing on the small piece of flat ground outside the cave entrance, the wind from the valley howled past, blowing across his cheeks with moisture and coldness.After standing for a long time, the restlessness and enthusiasm in my heart gradually cooled down.
With a helpless sigh, he turned around and entered the cave.
Song Qinghuan seemed to be sleeping more soundly than before.
Looking at her sleeping face, a trace of tenderness flashed in Shen Chuhan's eyes, he carefully stretched out his finger to caress her cheek, and quickly withdrew his hand.This touch, the soft touch of his fingertips made all the restraint he had just now shattered in an instant, and finally he couldn't control the wild thoughts in his heart, and slowly leaned over to press a kiss on her forehead.
The night is still long.
Although he can't do anything, if he can lie beside her for a while, it can be regarded as a solution to his three years of lovesickness.
With a faint sigh, Shen Chuhan folded his clothes and lay down beside Song Qinghuan.
Sure enough, it was a sleepless night.
When it was almost dawn, I felt that the fire was gradually extinguished, and I was about to sit up and add some leaves and branches into it, but my waist suddenly felt heavy, and when I looked down, Song Qinghuan's small white hands had already reached up.
Looking again, even the body has leaned closer, and the frown seemed to relax a little.
Shen Chuhan smiled sweetly and wryly at the same time, stopped adding fire, and passed a few more hours in the torment.
As soon as Song Qinghuan woke up in the morning, he noticed it immediately. He originally wanted to open his eyes, but when he saw her cautious expression, he felt a little sad again.He knew that Ah Wan still had many precautions against him, and it seemed unwise to expose the matter at this time.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to continue pretending to be asleep.
Song Qinghuan cautiously withdrew from Shen Chuhan's embrace. Seeing that he had not woken up, she breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened her sleepy temple hair and skirt, and was about to get up to look outside the cave when she heard Shen Chuhan's leisurely voice behind her. .
"Di Ji is awake?"
Song Qinghuan was feeling a little guilty, when she heard him speak suddenly, she was startled.Wei Wei regained her composure before stopping and turning around, nodding her head.
Shen Chuhan also sat up.The eyes are sleepy, and the water in the eyes is hazy. Instead of the coldness of the past, it looks a bit cute and cute.
After returning the hairpin last night, he didn't tie up his hair. At this moment, his black hair was scattered in front of his chest, and his clothes were also a bit messy. The front of his chest was slightly open.
Song Qinghuan suddenly realized that if someone came to rescue them later and saw Shen Chuhan's disheveled appearance, and the two spent another night together, rumors would definitely spread.
Can't help shivering, thought about the wording, and reminded with a smile, "I'll go outside to see the situation, Prime Minister Shen, tie up your hair first."
Shen Chuhan responded, picked up the silver hairpin on the side and stood up, combing his hair obediently with his fingers.
Song Qinghuan was relieved, and just as she turned around, she heard a soft hum from behind.
She couldn't help frowning, turned around to look, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
Shen Chuhan looked troubled, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." But the movement of raising his hand was obviously somewhat reluctant.
Song Qinghuan frowned even tighter, "The wound hurts?"
Shen Chuhan hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly, "I didn't expect today to be more painful than yesterday."
"Perhaps the wound is inflamed, you have to go up and ask the doctor to have a look."
"Yeah." Shen Chuhan responded, moved his elbow carefully, and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, this elbow hurts when I lift it, I'll let him tie my hair when Mubai comes. .”
Song Qinghuan slandered inwardly, when Mu Bai came, everyone would see his disheveled appearance.
Reluctantly pursing his lips, he said coldly, "If Xiang Chen doesn't mind, let me help you."
Shen Chuhan raised his eyebrows, seeming to be pleasantly surprised, "Emperor Ji can tie her hair?"
Song Qinghuan said "hmm", hiding the swaying emotions in his eyes, walked up to him, took the silver hairpin, and signaled him to sit down.
Shen Chuhan's hair was thick and smooth, and he could easily comb it to the end with his fingers.
There is a faint aroma.
Song Qinghuan's emotions rippled again.
In her previous life, she also tied Shen Chuhan's hair in this way on a peaceful morning. If she did the once very familiar movements now, she would inevitably feel a little strange and strange.
In a trance, she combed a man's bun for Shen Chuhan, and then put a silver hairpin on it.
After doing all this, I suddenly felt a little panic in my heart, let go of my hand in a hurry, and said "Okay, I'll go out and have a look first." Then I ran out of the cave quickly.
I ran outside the cave, stood still on the flat ground, took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, felt the coolness brought by the wind blowing past my face, and my anxious heart finally gradually settled down.
Last night is over.
It was time for her and Shen Chuhan to return to their normal and distant relationship.
After making up her mind, she looked down the cliff.
The cliffs are still shrouded in mist, but compared to the darkness at night, the line of sight is much wider and clearer.Taking a closer look, I found that there is still a long distance from the bottom of the cliff. It seems that there are still some difficulties if I want to go down to the bottom of the cliff safely.
At this time, Shen Chu also tidied up his clothes and came out. He followed her gaze and looked down, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression, "It seems that we still have to go up to escape from death."
Song Qinghuan echoed, but his frown still remained intact, "But, how do we notify them?"
Shen Chuhan took out a signal flare from his bosom and put it in the sky.
Song Qinghuan was slightly startled, then his eyes darkened.
Since he had a signal flare, why didn't he let it go last night?Wasting a night here in vain?
As if seeing her doubts and puzzlement, Shen Chuhan explained, "I was afraid that the men in black hadn't gone far last night. If they saw my signal flare, they would be attracted again."
Although this reason sounds reasonable, Song Qinghuan always felt that something was wrong.
Before thinking about it, Shen Chuhan said again, "It's windy in the mountains, let's go inside and wait. Mu Bai should bring someone here soon."
After entering the cave, the two of them didn't dare to go too far from the entrance of the cave, so they pulled some vines and spread them on the ground and sat down.
Suddenly remembering the man in black mentioned by Shen Chuhan just now, Song Qinghuan realized that he was almost saved last night, and he didn't have time to think about Shen Chuhan's inexplicable night attack by the man in black.
In his previous life, Shen Chuhan had never been to Lingyin Temple, so this wave of attacks never happened.
She knew who was behind the ambush of Shen Chuhan in Yulin Lane, but this night attack on Lingyin Temple, will the person behind the scenes be the same person?
Those men in black were obviously aiming at Shen Chuhan, and when they realized that Shen Chuhan's martial arts were too high and they had no chance of winning, they aimed at themselves.
In other words, they knew their identities in the meditation room next door in advance.
But they didn't make much fanfare for this trip, and not many people should know about it, unless... it is an insider who can get the news.
From this point of view, it is more likely that the same person was behind the two attacks.
"What is Diji thinking?" Seeing that Song Qinghuan hadn't made a sound for a long time, Shen Chuhan asked.
"I was thinking about the man in black last night." Song Qinghuan said casually.
Shen Chuhan's gentle expression became a little dignified. After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly, "The men in black who attacked us last night seem to be people from the Jianghu."
"Why?" Song Qinghuan looked sideways.
"Their moves are very fierce, and they are self-contained, not like the skills of dead soldiers or guards."
People from the rivers and lakes?
Song Qinghuan fell into deep thought.
In order to clean themselves up, Jianghu people are indeed a better choice.In this way, no matter whether you succeed or not in the end, it is difficult to find out about yourself.
That man really spared no effort to put Shen Chuhan to death.
Glancing at Shen Chuhan lightly, he felt a little sad in his heart.
It is not surprising that he has developed such a cold and ruthless temperament after growing up in an environment of swords, lights and swords.
"Chen Xiang... What if we can't find out what is behind the scenes in a short time?" After a moment, she pondered.
In the previous life, this matter was also left alone.She didn't know how much Shen Chuhan in his previous life understood at this time, but he chose to hide his strength and bide his time, and suppressed this matter for the time being.
Because there are too many things involved behind this matter, if the person behind the scenes is found out now, those secrets that Shen Chuhan has tried so hard to hide will be revealed to the world.
He probably isn't ready for that yet.
Shen Chuhan smiled slightly, looked at her and said, "Is Di Ji afraid that I will stay in Jian'an?" There was a gleam in his eyes, half joking and half serious.
Song Qing smiled happily, "Shen Xiang really likes to joke. Shen Xiang is a distinguished guest of our country, so he can stay as long as he wants. I'm just worried that Shen Xiang has stayed in Jian'an for too long, and it's not easy to deal with Emperor Liang. .”
Shen Chuhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up even more, "So to put it bluntly, Diji still cares about me."
"As the concubine of Yu Kingdom, Prime Minister Shen is an honored guest, so I should do my best to be a landlord." There were many ambiguities in his words, but Song Qinghuan didn't enter into anything, showing no flaws.
The beauty of last night should also disappear with the rising sun today.
Shen Chuhan is used to observing words and expressions. Seeing Song Qinghuan erecting sharp thorns all over his body again, his words sounded vigilant. He knew that enough was enough, so he smiled slightly and didn't say any more.
The two fell silent.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before a faint shout came from outside the cave.
Could it be that Mu Bai brought someone here?
Song Qinghuan was overjoyed, exchanged a glance with Shen Chuhan, and followed him out of the cave quickly.
Listening intently outside the cave, I really heard some movement from the top of the cliff. Although the distance was too far to hear clearly, I could vaguely hear her name.
It seems that there is no doubt that it is reinforcements.
At this time, a bright red light suddenly flashed across the sky above his head.
Shen Chuhan looked up, took out another flare from his bosom, pulled the ring and put it on.
This time, the flare's light was blue.
Song Qinghuan lowered her eyes calmly, knowing that this was probably the special way of contact between Shen Chuhan and Mu Bai, so she waited with peace of mind and didn't ask any further questions.
Soon.
Sure enough, something was hanging down from the top of the cliff, but when we got closer, we found that it was a thick rope.
The rope hung down in front of Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan, and Shen Chuhan pulled it, and pulled it hard.The people above understood and stopped moving, and the rope hung in front of the two of them and stopped moving.
"Di Ji... let's go up first." Shen Chuhan hesitated for a moment, then spoke lightly.
He wanted to go up with Song Qinghuan in his arms, but there were so many people up there, he knew she would not want to, so he let Song Qinghuan go up first, and he was in the back, so as to protect her just in case.
Song Qinghuan agreed, pulled the rope through and tied a knot around her waist.Just as he was about to send a signal to the people above, Shen Chuhan bent down to check her carefully, and after making sure everything was safe, he pulled the rope hard.
Soon, Song Qinghuan felt an upward traction on the rope.
She nodded to Shen Chuhan, grabbed the rope, and was pulled up little by little.
The feeling of hanging in mid-air is not pleasant, but fortunately she is light in weight, not long after, the place where they jumped off the cliff yesterday appeared in sight.There are many people on the edge of the cliff, and everyone is looking down the cliff frequently.
As soon as they were pulled up the cliff, Liu Yue and Shen Xing rushed over, their little faces turned white with nervousness, they pulled her up and down, left and right, and asked her if she was okay.
Song Qinghuan untied the rope on her body and comforted them in a gentle voice, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
The nervousness of Liu Yue and Shen Xing gradually calmed down.
It turned out that when they heard the movement yesterday, they were entangled by a man in black who jumped in from the courtyard wall as soon as they left the room.After finally getting rid of the man in black, only to find that Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan had led the man in black away to the woods next to the meditation room.
Liu Yue hurriedly went to find other people to rescue the soldiers, and Shen Xing followed.
The moment Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan both jumped off the cliff, Shen Xing's heart jumped into his throat.But she was alone, even if she broke through, she would only hit a stone with an egg.
Knowing that His Highness and Shen Xiangding would not be defeated so easily, she suppressed the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart and hurried to find Liu Yue.
Unexpectedly, the Qimen rider who accompanied him up the mountain had already been secretly killed by the man in black. His body lay across the yard, and his blood flowed like a river.Fortunately, Xiao Shunzi lived next door and was not harmed.
At this time, Xuanjing heard the movement and brought several monks from the temple over to check the situation.Hearing Liu Yue and Shen Xing's description, he couldn't help being shocked.
He didn't expect it to be so serious.
At the same time, Su Jingci was also awakened from his sleep, and realized that something was different, he hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and saw Liuyue and Shen Xing talking to Xuanjing with anxious expressions.
He knew Liu Yue and Shen Xing, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
After listening to the anxious narration of the two, my heart couldn't help sinking to the bottom.This wave of men in black seemed to have been prepared for a long time. They not only dealt with the Qi Menqi first, but also deliberately hijacked Wuyang Diji as a hostage.
However, most of the monks and pilgrims in the temple have no power to fight back.
After discussing with Xuanjing for a while, they decided that on the one hand Xuanjing should count the martial arts monks in the monastery and go to the forest with him and Mu Bai to check the situation; reinforcement.
However, when they arrived at the cliff, the man in black had already left, leaving only death-like silence and darkness around.The night was too dark to see what was going on under the cliff at all, so I had to wait until early this morning to make plans.
Fortunately... Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan were fine.
Seeing that Shen Xing and Liu Yue were sure that Song Qinghuan was fine, Mu Bai hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and came over anxiously, not caring about saluting, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, my son...?"
Song Qinghuan nodded, handed him the rope, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Prime Minister Shen is still below, quickly pull him up."
Mu Bai was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and let the rope down the cliff again.
Soon, Shen Chuhan was also pulled up.
"My lord, are you alright?" Seeing him standing still, Mu Bai hurried forward and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." In front of everyone, Shen Chuhan returned to his usual coldness.
Mu Bai's eyes fell on his cloth-bound arm, he was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Shen Chuhan suspiciously, "Master, are you injured?"
"Skin trauma, it's not a problem." Shen Chuhan said lightly, his eyes swept across the faces of the people present.
"When you get down the mountain, find the doctor as soon as possible for Xiang Shen to have a look." Song Qinghuan opened her mouth and glanced at Mu Bai.
Shen Chuhan seemed a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, but heaved a sigh of relief, "Alright, let's find a doctor."
Su Jingci's eyes in the crowd changed, and there was a little deep meaning in his pupils.He separated from the crowd and came out, smiling, with a look of relief on his face, "Diji and Shen Xiang have finally returned safely, so the prince is relieved. I heard from your maid last night that you and Shen Xiang were killed by someone. Chasing and even jumping off a cliff, I really gave this prince a fright." While speaking, his gaze continued to flicker over Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan's body, passing over the delicate knot on Shen Chuhan's arm, and over his slightly disheveled clothes , with deep meaning in his eyes.
Song Qinghuan nodded slightly at him, and smiled slightly, "Third Prince is worried, I'm fine."
Su Jingci also smiled at her gently, "That's good." His eyes paused, and his expression became serious, "But...what's going on? Diji...how did she jump off the cliff with Shen Xiang?" There is an inquiring meaning in the words.
"It's because the series has tired Di Ji." Shen Chuhan interrupted suddenly, with a stern expression, looking at Su Jingci thoughtfully.
Song Qinghuan smiled helplessly, "Who told me to live next door to Prime Minister Shen? Those men in black probably wanted to take someone hostage. This matter...isn't Prime Minister Shen's fault." Speaking of it, it was really bad luck for her , who also lived next door to Shen Chuhan, why didn't this innocent disaster come to Song Qingyi's head?
"The man in black last night came after Prime Minister Shen again?" Su Jing asked with deep eyes.
Shen Chuhan nodded, his expression turned cold.
"Who the hell is this brave! How dare to assassinate Chen Xiang again and again!" Su Jing rebuked.He unfolded the folding fan and shook his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but then his eyes fell on Song Qinghuan, he paused, and swallowed what he wanted to say.
Song Qinghuan knew that he was jealous of him, so he smiled broadly and fixed his eyes, "I will definitely ask my father to send more people to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Shen Chuhan turned his eyes, and slightly bowed towards Song Qinghuan, "It's time for Emperor Ji."
At this time, Xiao Shunzi came over from the side of the cliff, seeing that Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan were safe, he was surprised, and hurriedly quickened his pace.When he got closer, he saw a man who looked like an official beside him.
The man walked up to several people and saluted, "Meng Qi, the next official, I have met Empress Wuyang, the third prince, and Prime Minister Shen."
"Did you find any clues?" Song Qinghuan frowned, slightly displeased.
This Meng Qi was the Minister of Dali Temple in Yu Country, the official who was ordered to investigate Shen Chuhan's assassination case.Although she didn't expect him to find out who was behind the scenes, after so many days, there was no progress at all, she was really incompetent.
If we can find out a little bit of fur, at least we can deter the mastermind behind the scenes, so that they won't be so rampant.
Sweat dripped out of Meng Qi's forehead, his lips trembled, and he said cautiously, "Those men in black set fire to the entire forest, and there is... no evidence to be found in the forest..."
"Then... what happened before? Did you find any clues?" The displeasure on Song Qinghuan's face became more apparent.
Meng Qi buried his head even lower, and thought for a while, "Xiaguan...Xiaguan is stepping up the investigation..." Cold sweat dripped down his back.Emperor Yu pressed hard, but there was no clue about this case. If Empress Wuyang and Shen Xiang had any troubles this time, let alone the black gauze hat, even the head on the neck would be lost.
"That is to say... You have been investigating for so long, but you haven't even made any progress?" Song Qinghuan's breath became cold, and he felt a little angry.
If all the officials in Yuguo are like Meng Qi, how can Yuguo become strong? !It's no wonder that Shen Chuhan insisted on staying in Jian'an to investigate in person, if relying on these people, there would be no progress in the investigation.
Meng Qi faltered and dared not answer.
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiao Shunzi at the side quickly took two steps forward, and smiled happily at Song Qing, "Your Highness has been running around all night, why not go back to the meditation room to rest for a while, and make plans later."
Song Qinghuan knew that no matter how anxious he was now, it was useless. With a "hmm", he said coldly to Meng Qi, "Then please ask Meng Siqing to send more people to step up the investigation, otherwise, how will the father and the palace reconcile with Shen Xiang? State confession?!"
"Yes, yes, the lower officials must step up the investigation." Meng Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly responded.
Song Qinghuan looked at Shen Chuhan, "Shen Xiang also go back to his room to rest for a while."
"Emperor, please."
Shen Chuhan gave way, and the group walked through a messy forest to the meditation room.
After walking out of the forest for a short while, he arrived in front of Song Qinghuan's meditation room.
Xiao Shunzi bowed to Song Qinghuan, "Your Highness, I have brought someone to clean up the yard. If Your Highness minds, I will ask Master Xuanjing to find another clean meditation room."
"No need." She just went into the room to freshen up, and she didn't bother to bother.What's more, the fight last night was in the courtyard, and the room was not damaged.
Xiao Shunzi agreed, and was about to open the door to invite Song Qinghuan in, when the courtyard door of the third Zen room was opened and someone came out.
Taking a closer look, it was Song Qingyi.
Her eyes swept across Song Qinghuan's face, and quickly fixed on Shen Chuhan behind her, her eyes lit up, and she walked over quickly.
"Chen Xiang, Wu Yang, you are finally back, but I am so anxious!" While speaking, her beautiful eyes were full of water, and she was looking at Shen Chuhan, wanting to say something, with affection, not revealing, but just right .
Song Qing smiled happily, "I made the second sister worry."
Song Qingyi took her hand affectionately, with concern and fear at the same time, "What happened last night? I only heard the faint sound of fighting in my sleep. When I came out to have a look, I ran into the third prince. He just called me Don't go out, just stay in your room. Later I heard that you jumped off a cliff with Shen Xiang? I was really shocked and didn't sleep all night. Fortunately, someone came to report that they found you. Only then did I feel at ease."
It was obviously a caring and courteous tone, but it always sounded a little awkward.Especially the words "jumping off a cliff with Prime Minister Shen", seemed to be subconsciously accentuated.
Song Qinghuan withdrew his hand calmly, and glanced at her, "Last night, Prime Minister Shen was attacked by someone, and those people wanted to take me as a hostage. Prime Minister Shen didn't want to hurt other people in the temple, so he led the man in black to the forest. Later The men in black set fire to the forest, and in order to avoid the thick smoke and fire, we took refuge under the cliff for the time being."
She didn't want to make a fuss, so she pushed Shen Chuhan out.
According to his temperament, he probably wouldn't care about these things.
As expected, Shen Chuhan didn't speak, but Mu Bai looked at him in surprise.
My young master has always been cold-tempered and never cared about the lives of others, how could he suddenly care about the lives of other innocent people?
Song Qingyi said "oh", with shadows in his eyes, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.I just came back now, which means I just found two people!The lonely man and widow spent the night under the cliff, who knows what happened? !Although Shen Xiang has an unfeminine character, it still makes her jealous.
At this moment, she even hated that it wasn't her who was hijacked by those men in black!
His expression couldn't help but darken.
Song Qinghuan didn't want to talk to her, so she raised her head and stroked her forehead, "Second Sister Huang, I feel a little unwell, so I went back to my room to rest first." Then, she nodded to everyone, and led Liu Yue and Shen Xing into the courtyard.
After this kind of thing happened, everyone would not continue to stay in Lingyin Temple, and the Ten Mile Peach Forest was not regarded as such in the end.A group of people hurried down the mountain and went back to the Sifang Pavilion and the Imperial Palace respectively.
When Emperor Yu heard about it, he was furious. On the one hand, he personally went to the Sifang Pavilion to appease Shen Chuhan and the Liangguo delegation.
The next day.
"Your Highness, just now one of the servants gave something to the little maid on duty, saying that it will be handed over to you." Liu Yue lifted the curtain and entered, looking at Song Qinghuan who was on the couch.
"Which palace servant?" Song Qinghuan raised his head without haste.
"It's a bit unfamiliar, and I haven't reported my family."
Song Qinghuan frowned slightly, stared at the sandalwood box in Liuyue's hand, and said lightly, "Open it and have a look."
Liuyue responded and opened the box in her hand.
"Your Highness, there is a round box and a note in the box."
"Bring it." Song Qinghuan raised his eyes, a little absent-minded.
Liu Yue handed the note to her.
Song Qinghuan opened it up to take a look, and couldn't help but stare, with a somewhat dazed expression.There are only a few numbers on the note, but the pen is like a snake, and every word and stroke penetrates the back of the paper.
"The wound on the back of Qing's hand can be cured with this ointment." Signed: Shen.
——It's Shen Chuhan
He still remembers the words in the cave that day...
Song Qinghuan clutched the note in his hand, his heart skipped a beat.
He has never been such a careful person, if he used to be, he would never do such ambiguous things to a woman who only met a few times.A person's character will never change easily, so Shen Chuhan...could it be to himself again...?
However, in this life, I didn't have much contact with him, so how could he fall in love with me? !
No matter how you think about it, it feels a little impossible.
She may have developed some affection for him because of the first sight in her previous life, but Shen Chuhan was definitely not someone who fell in love at first sight.
"Your Highness...?" Seeing that Song Qinghuan's expression was somewhat wrong, Liu Yue tentatively called out, "What's wrong with you?"
"No...it's nothing..." Song Qinghuan came back to his senses, grabbed the note in his palm, and kneaded it into a ball.
"Then...this round box...?"
"Throw it away." Song Qinghuan lowered her eyes and ordered lightly.
Liu Yue was startled, and Fushen agreed.
She turned around and was about to leave, but she heard Song Qinghuan stop her behind her, "Wait." After a moment of hesitation, she raised her eyes and said calmly, "It's better...give it to me."
Liu Yue was curious, but didn't ask any further questions, handed the round box to Song Qinghuan, and withdrew again.
Song Qinghuan opened the round box, and there was a crystal clear paste in the box, and a faint fragrance came out.She picked up a little bit with her small fingernail and put it on the tip of her nose for a sniff, distinguishing a few of the precious medicinal herbs for treating burns.
This small box of ointment must be worth a lot.
She sighed, applied the ointment to the small spot on the back of her hand, and looked out of the window in a daze.
Suddenly, there were footsteps again.
It's still the moon.
"What's the matter?" Song Qinghuan put down the round box in her hand when she saw her hurrying footsteps and her eager expression.
"Your Highness, Aunt Chongjin has sent someone over."
Song Qinghuan was slightly startled.
She had just met Aunt Chongjin a few days ago, so she suddenly sent someone over at this moment, why?
Before I had time to think about it, I sat up straight and said, "Quickly ask someone to come in."
The one who came in was a maiden who had to be used by Aunt Chongjin's side, she remembered calling her Ah Zhen.Today Ah Zhen changed into an ordinary court lady's costume, but she didn't want to attract attention.
"I have seen Your Highness."
"Excuse me." Song Qinghuan sat up straight, "Ah Zhen, Aunt Chongjin sent you here, what's the matter?"
"Your Highness, Aunt Chongjin invites you to meet me at the old place at [-]:[-] in the afternoon."
Song Qinghuan frowned, "Do you know why my aunt is looking for me?"
Ah Zhen shook his head, "I don't know, I just ask you to bring Liuyue and Shen Xing with you."
Bring Liuyue and Shen Xing together?In the past, she only brought one person to the appointment, and the other stayed in the palace to take care of her. This time, Aunt Chongjin actually ordered Liu Yue and Shen Xing to go together?What is the matter?
Suppressing the faint uneasiness in his heart, he nodded at Ah Zhen, "Understood, you go and tell Aunt Chongjin that I will definitely bring them to the appointment on time."
In the afternoon, it was three quarters.
When Song Qinghuan arrived in front of Weiyang Palace, Chongjin was already waiting under the peach tree, and when she heard footsteps, she turned around and looked over.
"Aunt Chongjin." Song Qinghuan smiled at her and saluted.
Liu Yue and Shen Xing behind them also saluted.
Chongjin waved at them, signaling them to stand aside and wait, then looked at Song Qinghuan, his eyes fluctuated, and his tone was a little hasty, "Is your Highness injured?"
Knowing that she was asking about falling off the cliff yesterday, Song Qinghuan shook her head, smiled and comforted, "I'm fine, aunt, don't worry."
Chong Jin's eyes darkened, "What's going on?"
Song Qinghuan briefly and concisely omitted what happened the night before yesterday with Chongjin, only omitting Shen Chuhan's ambiguous words in the cave.
Chongjin frowned into a knot.
"That is to say, when His Highness and Shen Xiang led the man in black to the forest, Liu Yue and Shen Xing didn't follow?"
Song Qinghuan didn't know why Chongjin would ask this question, she was taken aback, and quickly explained for them, "Things happened so fast at that time, they didn't have time to react..."
"But Your Highness heard the sound of fighting next door." Chong Jin's breath was a bit heavy.
Song Qinghuan was about to speak again, but Chongjin called Liu Yue and Shen Xing over.
"Didn't you hear the fighting in Shen Xiangyuan that night?" Chong Jin asked coldly.
Liu Yue and Shen Xing were taken aback for a moment, then lowered their heads in shame, "The servants only heard about it later..."
Chong Jin's face was cold, and his tone became cold and hard, "When I put you next to His Highness, I repeatedly emphasized to you that your task is to protect His Highness's safety. Now His Highness is in trouble, and you have never reacted to it." ?! Then what's the use of letting you stay with His Highness?!" There was anger beating in his eyes.
Chong Jin has always had a calm temperament, and rarely shows his emotions, but at this time he reprimanded her heavily, and it seemed that she was indeed in a hurry.
Liu Yue and Shen Xing were apprehensive in their hearts, panicked, knelt down quickly, and first kowtowed to Song Qinghuan, "Your Highness, the slaves and servants know that they are not doing enough to protect them, so I beg Your Highness to punish them." Then they turned to Chongjin, "Please also pay attention Aunt Jin will give the servants another chance."
To them, Chong Jin was not only the person who brought them to His Highness, but also their master.Therefore, they respected him very much in their hearts and did not dare to complain.
What's more, it's true that they didn't do enough to protect His Highness.
Chongjin looked at them with a little unbearable in his eyes.
When the master left, the only explanation was to ask her to take good care of His Highness, and she could not fail the master's entrustment no matter what.At the beginning, I fell in love with Liu Yue and Shen Xing because of their parentless background, since they are orphans, there will be no other fetters in the future.The second is that their bones are clear and strange, and they are good seedlings for martial arts.
It was just that time was tight and they didn't train for too long, so they were brought into the palace.Originally, I thought that His Highness would not be in danger of his life if he lived in the palace, so the maids around him didn't need to be strong in martial arts, they only needed to be sincere and sensitive.
Thinking about it now, she still took it for granted.In the royal family, how can you take it lightly? !
Although His Majesty's martial arts are improving rapidly now, but there are always times when his strength is not enough, it is always good to have two helpers by his side.
Thinking of this, I hardened my heart, and don't look away from them, "Your martial arts are not enough to protect His Highness, so I can only send someone else."
This is to replace yourself?
Liu Yue and Shen Xing panicked, and when they were about to speak, Song Qinghuan said solemnly, "What is Aunt Chongjin doing?"
Chong Jin bowed deeply to Song Qinghuan, "My servant knows that this act of my servant is suspected of overreaching, but my servant would rather His Highness resent this servant than His Highness's safety being threatened again."
Song Qinghuan frowned, "I can protect myself. Besides, nothing happened to me this time." She knew that Chongjin was for her own good, but Liu Yue and Shen Xing already had deep feelings for her, so what Knowing what she wants, how can you just change it?
"This is the only entrustment left by Madam, this servant must not disappoint Madam's trust." Chong Jin did not let go.
"Auntie, the servants must practice hard, and will not put His Highness in any danger again." Shen Xing and Liu Yue hastily assured, with earnest faces.
Chongjin looked at them who were anxious and restless, and then at Song Qinghuan who was clearly displeased, knowing that she couldn't do too much.Otherwise, having a rift with His Highness is not what the master would like to see.
Sighing and looking at Song Qinghuan, "I don't want to be this villain either. Since Your Highness doesn't want to give up Liuyue and Shen Xing, these two girls are also loyal to His Highness, and I hope His Highness can agree to one of my requests."
Seeing that things had turned around, Song Qinghuan frowned slightly, and nodded at Chongjin, "Auntie, please tell me."
Thank you for the support of all the girls who participated in the first order, and everyone's Huahua Diamond tickets~ I love you~!
Rewards will be distributed in a few days, please remember to check your account~
(End of this chapter)
His heart beat suddenly stagnated, and the faint itching in his heart grew wildly like vines all over the mountains and plains again.
But she has learned how to behave, no matter how agitated her heart is, her expression is very calm.Qianqian raised her eyes and smiled, her expression was full of generosity, and her voice was clear and clear, "What are you talking about, Prime Minister Shen, you are a distinguished guest of our country, so naturally you cannot neglect it."
Shen Chuhan stared at her deeply, his eyes were dark, as if he wanted to see through all the thoughts in her heart.
In this game, whoever shows cowardice first loses. ·
Song Qinghuan didn't want Shen Chuhan to see any clues anymore, so he slowly put the dagger back into the whip handle without fear or panic.
"That is to say, if someone else changed today, Di Ji would still treat him like this, wouldn't she?" Shen Chuhan's voice sounded again next to his ear, full of probing, deep and gloomy, like fine wine that has been brewed for many years.
"Yes." Song Qinghuan paused slightly, but answered without hesitation.
She has lost her composure too many times tonight, and she must not lose her sense of proportion again.
Shen Chuhan stared at her for a long time, the heat in his eyes finally gradually cooled down, he lowered his eyes and whispered, "It's getting late, go to sleep."
Song Qinghuan hummed, wiped the silver hairpin that was used just now with vine leaves, and handed it back to Shen Chuhan.
Shen Chuhan didn't answer for a long time, he just stared at Song Qinghuan's small white hand stretched out in front of him.
Song Qinghuan frowned.She knew that he was obsessed with cleanliness, but the hairpin dealt with his own wounds.Helplessly pursing his lips, just as he was about to speak, Shen Chuhan suddenly stretched out his hand and took the silver hairpin.
"Then I'll go to bed first." Song Qinghuan felt relieved.At this time, the ugly time had passed, her nerves were tense all night, she was already exhausted, and she really didn't have the energy to deal with Shen Chuhan anymore.
After tidying up hastily, he quickly lay down with his clothes on.
She was really exhausted, and she fell asleep not long after she lay down.
The fire burned most of the night, and was not extinguished until dawn.As soon as the fire was extinguished, Song Qinghuan felt a little cold in her body. She was already afraid of the cold, so she shivered and huddled together.
At this time, she vaguely felt that there was a heat source beside her, which seemed to emit a steady stream of heat, tempting her to keep approaching.
Move closer, move closer, embrace her with your hands, and fall asleep comfortably again.
Early the next morning, she was awakened by the chirping of birds in the mountains.
Feeling the glare of light coming in from outside the cave, she realized that it was getting late, so she opened her eyes in a daze.
What just came into view was a piece of brocade cloth embroidered with dark patterns in sky blue.She frowned, thinking how familiar the fabric seemed.It's just that I just woke up from my sleep, and my mind still can't keep up.
Just as he was about to raise his head and rub his eyes, he suddenly felt that the touch of his hand was not right.
With a jolt in his brain, he suddenly remembered where he had seen the blue brocade fabric embroidered with dark patterns that day - last night, Shen Chuhan was wearing a brocade robe of such a pattern and color!
She woke up completely, and a bad premonition rose in her mind.
Carefully lowering his eyes, he looked down.When she saw where her hands were, Song Qinghuan wanted to die!
Her hand - actually rested on Shen Chuhan's waist.
Although she hugged Shen Chuhan several times last night, those were life-threatening moments, and she could not tolerate hypocrisy and hesitation.But now, she not only fell asleep in Shen Chuhan's arms, but also put her arms around his waist!
What kind of evil did I fall into? !
Before time travel, she worked as an agent for ten years. No matter what kind of environment she was in, she would always maintain a high degree of vigilance. This habit had already been deeply rooted in her bones.Maybe she was slack in her previous life, but she was definitely not so defenseless.Why did she act completely different from herself when she met Shen Chuhan? !
After a moment of panic, she took a deep breath to calm down.
As long as Shen Chuhan didn't notice, there was still room for redemption.
Glancing at Shen Chuhan quietly, seeing that he still seemed to be in a deep sleep, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took his hands away calmly, and then moved his body to the side bit by bit.
She asked herself that she did it quietly, but she didn't know that Shen Chuhan didn't fall asleep at all last night, and he had a panoramic view of all her little movements!
She fell asleep very quickly last night, but Shen Chuhan was suffering very much.
He watched helplessly as the woman he had longed for was sleeping next to him, but he couldn't do anything. There seemed to be countless ants biting in his heart, and the fire in his waist and abdomen was burning more and more intensely, scorching continuously. Follow his reason.
Song Qinghuan's sleeping face was very peaceful, her jade-white face was dyed a blush carmine color due to the reflection of the fire, her long eyelashes were lightly covered, and a fan-shaped shadow fell, like two rows of small hooks brushed together, there was no need to do anything, It can hook people's souls away.
Her breathing is even and long, and her small diamond lips are moist and shiny.
His eyes fell on Song Qinghuan's red lips, thinking of the soft and cool touch just now, Shen Chuhan felt his throat tighten, and he had an uncontrollable desire to go straight to the sky.
He has seen all her charming and tactful moments, how can he forget the feeling of knowing her taste? !
Just staring at Song Qinghuan for a long time, Shen Chuhan struggled to suppress the desire in his heart, and restrained himself from doing anything he shouldn't have done.
With a wry smile, he stood up with difficulty, and walked out of the cave lightly.
Standing on the small piece of flat ground outside the cave entrance, the wind from the valley howled past, blowing across his cheeks with moisture and coldness.After standing for a long time, the restlessness and enthusiasm in my heart gradually cooled down.
With a helpless sigh, he turned around and entered the cave.
Song Qinghuan seemed to be sleeping more soundly than before.
Looking at her sleeping face, a trace of tenderness flashed in Shen Chuhan's eyes, he carefully stretched out his finger to caress her cheek, and quickly withdrew his hand.This touch, the soft touch of his fingertips made all the restraint he had just now shattered in an instant, and finally he couldn't control the wild thoughts in his heart, and slowly leaned over to press a kiss on her forehead.
The night is still long.
Although he can't do anything, if he can lie beside her for a while, it can be regarded as a solution to his three years of lovesickness.
With a faint sigh, Shen Chuhan folded his clothes and lay down beside Song Qinghuan.
Sure enough, it was a sleepless night.
When it was almost dawn, I felt that the fire was gradually extinguished, and I was about to sit up and add some leaves and branches into it, but my waist suddenly felt heavy, and when I looked down, Song Qinghuan's small white hands had already reached up.
Looking again, even the body has leaned closer, and the frown seemed to relax a little.
Shen Chuhan smiled sweetly and wryly at the same time, stopped adding fire, and passed a few more hours in the torment.
As soon as Song Qinghuan woke up in the morning, he noticed it immediately. He originally wanted to open his eyes, but when he saw her cautious expression, he felt a little sad again.He knew that Ah Wan still had many precautions against him, and it seemed unwise to expose the matter at this time.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to continue pretending to be asleep.
Song Qinghuan cautiously withdrew from Shen Chuhan's embrace. Seeing that he had not woken up, she breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened her sleepy temple hair and skirt, and was about to get up to look outside the cave when she heard Shen Chuhan's leisurely voice behind her. .
"Di Ji is awake?"
Song Qinghuan was feeling a little guilty, when she heard him speak suddenly, she was startled.Wei Wei regained her composure before stopping and turning around, nodding her head.
Shen Chuhan also sat up.The eyes are sleepy, and the water in the eyes is hazy. Instead of the coldness of the past, it looks a bit cute and cute.
After returning the hairpin last night, he didn't tie up his hair. At this moment, his black hair was scattered in front of his chest, and his clothes were also a bit messy. The front of his chest was slightly open.
Song Qinghuan suddenly realized that if someone came to rescue them later and saw Shen Chuhan's disheveled appearance, and the two spent another night together, rumors would definitely spread.
Can't help shivering, thought about the wording, and reminded with a smile, "I'll go outside to see the situation, Prime Minister Shen, tie up your hair first."
Shen Chuhan responded, picked up the silver hairpin on the side and stood up, combing his hair obediently with his fingers.
Song Qinghuan was relieved, and just as she turned around, she heard a soft hum from behind.
She couldn't help frowning, turned around to look, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
Shen Chuhan looked troubled, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." But the movement of raising his hand was obviously somewhat reluctant.
Song Qinghuan frowned even tighter, "The wound hurts?"
Shen Chuhan hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly, "I didn't expect today to be more painful than yesterday."
"Perhaps the wound is inflamed, you have to go up and ask the doctor to have a look."
"Yeah." Shen Chuhan responded, moved his elbow carefully, and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, this elbow hurts when I lift it, I'll let him tie my hair when Mubai comes. .”
Song Qinghuan slandered inwardly, when Mu Bai came, everyone would see his disheveled appearance.
Reluctantly pursing his lips, he said coldly, "If Xiang Chen doesn't mind, let me help you."
Shen Chuhan raised his eyebrows, seeming to be pleasantly surprised, "Emperor Ji can tie her hair?"
Song Qinghuan said "hmm", hiding the swaying emotions in his eyes, walked up to him, took the silver hairpin, and signaled him to sit down.
Shen Chuhan's hair was thick and smooth, and he could easily comb it to the end with his fingers.
There is a faint aroma.
Song Qinghuan's emotions rippled again.
In her previous life, she also tied Shen Chuhan's hair in this way on a peaceful morning. If she did the once very familiar movements now, she would inevitably feel a little strange and strange.
In a trance, she combed a man's bun for Shen Chuhan, and then put a silver hairpin on it.
After doing all this, I suddenly felt a little panic in my heart, let go of my hand in a hurry, and said "Okay, I'll go out and have a look first." Then I ran out of the cave quickly.
I ran outside the cave, stood still on the flat ground, took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, felt the coolness brought by the wind blowing past my face, and my anxious heart finally gradually settled down.
Last night is over.
It was time for her and Shen Chuhan to return to their normal and distant relationship.
After making up her mind, she looked down the cliff.
The cliffs are still shrouded in mist, but compared to the darkness at night, the line of sight is much wider and clearer.Taking a closer look, I found that there is still a long distance from the bottom of the cliff. It seems that there are still some difficulties if I want to go down to the bottom of the cliff safely.
At this time, Shen Chu also tidied up his clothes and came out. He followed her gaze and looked down, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression, "It seems that we still have to go up to escape from death."
Song Qinghuan echoed, but his frown still remained intact, "But, how do we notify them?"
Shen Chuhan took out a signal flare from his bosom and put it in the sky.
Song Qinghuan was slightly startled, then his eyes darkened.
Since he had a signal flare, why didn't he let it go last night?Wasting a night here in vain?
As if seeing her doubts and puzzlement, Shen Chuhan explained, "I was afraid that the men in black hadn't gone far last night. If they saw my signal flare, they would be attracted again."
Although this reason sounds reasonable, Song Qinghuan always felt that something was wrong.
Before thinking about it, Shen Chuhan said again, "It's windy in the mountains, let's go inside and wait. Mu Bai should bring someone here soon."
After entering the cave, the two of them didn't dare to go too far from the entrance of the cave, so they pulled some vines and spread them on the ground and sat down.
Suddenly remembering the man in black mentioned by Shen Chuhan just now, Song Qinghuan realized that he was almost saved last night, and he didn't have time to think about Shen Chuhan's inexplicable night attack by the man in black.
In his previous life, Shen Chuhan had never been to Lingyin Temple, so this wave of attacks never happened.
She knew who was behind the ambush of Shen Chuhan in Yulin Lane, but this night attack on Lingyin Temple, will the person behind the scenes be the same person?
Those men in black were obviously aiming at Shen Chuhan, and when they realized that Shen Chuhan's martial arts were too high and they had no chance of winning, they aimed at themselves.
In other words, they knew their identities in the meditation room next door in advance.
But they didn't make much fanfare for this trip, and not many people should know about it, unless... it is an insider who can get the news.
From this point of view, it is more likely that the same person was behind the two attacks.
"What is Diji thinking?" Seeing that Song Qinghuan hadn't made a sound for a long time, Shen Chuhan asked.
"I was thinking about the man in black last night." Song Qinghuan said casually.
Shen Chuhan's gentle expression became a little dignified. After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly, "The men in black who attacked us last night seem to be people from the Jianghu."
"Why?" Song Qinghuan looked sideways.
"Their moves are very fierce, and they are self-contained, not like the skills of dead soldiers or guards."
People from the rivers and lakes?
Song Qinghuan fell into deep thought.
In order to clean themselves up, Jianghu people are indeed a better choice.In this way, no matter whether you succeed or not in the end, it is difficult to find out about yourself.
That man really spared no effort to put Shen Chuhan to death.
Glancing at Shen Chuhan lightly, he felt a little sad in his heart.
It is not surprising that he has developed such a cold and ruthless temperament after growing up in an environment of swords, lights and swords.
"Chen Xiang... What if we can't find out what is behind the scenes in a short time?" After a moment, she pondered.
In the previous life, this matter was also left alone.She didn't know how much Shen Chuhan in his previous life understood at this time, but he chose to hide his strength and bide his time, and suppressed this matter for the time being.
Because there are too many things involved behind this matter, if the person behind the scenes is found out now, those secrets that Shen Chuhan has tried so hard to hide will be revealed to the world.
He probably isn't ready for that yet.
Shen Chuhan smiled slightly, looked at her and said, "Is Di Ji afraid that I will stay in Jian'an?" There was a gleam in his eyes, half joking and half serious.
Song Qing smiled happily, "Shen Xiang really likes to joke. Shen Xiang is a distinguished guest of our country, so he can stay as long as he wants. I'm just worried that Shen Xiang has stayed in Jian'an for too long, and it's not easy to deal with Emperor Liang. .”
Shen Chuhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up even more, "So to put it bluntly, Diji still cares about me."
"As the concubine of Yu Kingdom, Prime Minister Shen is an honored guest, so I should do my best to be a landlord." There were many ambiguities in his words, but Song Qinghuan didn't enter into anything, showing no flaws.
The beauty of last night should also disappear with the rising sun today.
Shen Chuhan is used to observing words and expressions. Seeing Song Qinghuan erecting sharp thorns all over his body again, his words sounded vigilant. He knew that enough was enough, so he smiled slightly and didn't say any more.
The two fell silent.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before a faint shout came from outside the cave.
Could it be that Mu Bai brought someone here?
Song Qinghuan was overjoyed, exchanged a glance with Shen Chuhan, and followed him out of the cave quickly.
Listening intently outside the cave, I really heard some movement from the top of the cliff. Although the distance was too far to hear clearly, I could vaguely hear her name.
It seems that there is no doubt that it is reinforcements.
At this time, a bright red light suddenly flashed across the sky above his head.
Shen Chuhan looked up, took out another flare from his bosom, pulled the ring and put it on.
This time, the flare's light was blue.
Song Qinghuan lowered her eyes calmly, knowing that this was probably the special way of contact between Shen Chuhan and Mu Bai, so she waited with peace of mind and didn't ask any further questions.
Soon.
Sure enough, something was hanging down from the top of the cliff, but when we got closer, we found that it was a thick rope.
The rope hung down in front of Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan, and Shen Chuhan pulled it, and pulled it hard.The people above understood and stopped moving, and the rope hung in front of the two of them and stopped moving.
"Di Ji... let's go up first." Shen Chuhan hesitated for a moment, then spoke lightly.
He wanted to go up with Song Qinghuan in his arms, but there were so many people up there, he knew she would not want to, so he let Song Qinghuan go up first, and he was in the back, so as to protect her just in case.
Song Qinghuan agreed, pulled the rope through and tied a knot around her waist.Just as he was about to send a signal to the people above, Shen Chuhan bent down to check her carefully, and after making sure everything was safe, he pulled the rope hard.
Soon, Song Qinghuan felt an upward traction on the rope.
She nodded to Shen Chuhan, grabbed the rope, and was pulled up little by little.
The feeling of hanging in mid-air is not pleasant, but fortunately she is light in weight, not long after, the place where they jumped off the cliff yesterday appeared in sight.There are many people on the edge of the cliff, and everyone is looking down the cliff frequently.
As soon as they were pulled up the cliff, Liu Yue and Shen Xing rushed over, their little faces turned white with nervousness, they pulled her up and down, left and right, and asked her if she was okay.
Song Qinghuan untied the rope on her body and comforted them in a gentle voice, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
The nervousness of Liu Yue and Shen Xing gradually calmed down.
It turned out that when they heard the movement yesterday, they were entangled by a man in black who jumped in from the courtyard wall as soon as they left the room.After finally getting rid of the man in black, only to find that Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan had led the man in black away to the woods next to the meditation room.
Liu Yue hurriedly went to find other people to rescue the soldiers, and Shen Xing followed.
The moment Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan both jumped off the cliff, Shen Xing's heart jumped into his throat.But she was alone, even if she broke through, she would only hit a stone with an egg.
Knowing that His Highness and Shen Xiangding would not be defeated so easily, she suppressed the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart and hurried to find Liu Yue.
Unexpectedly, the Qimen rider who accompanied him up the mountain had already been secretly killed by the man in black. His body lay across the yard, and his blood flowed like a river.Fortunately, Xiao Shunzi lived next door and was not harmed.
At this time, Xuanjing heard the movement and brought several monks from the temple over to check the situation.Hearing Liu Yue and Shen Xing's description, he couldn't help being shocked.
He didn't expect it to be so serious.
At the same time, Su Jingci was also awakened from his sleep, and realized that something was different, he hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and saw Liuyue and Shen Xing talking to Xuanjing with anxious expressions.
He knew Liu Yue and Shen Xing, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
After listening to the anxious narration of the two, my heart couldn't help sinking to the bottom.This wave of men in black seemed to have been prepared for a long time. They not only dealt with the Qi Menqi first, but also deliberately hijacked Wuyang Diji as a hostage.
However, most of the monks and pilgrims in the temple have no power to fight back.
After discussing with Xuanjing for a while, they decided that on the one hand Xuanjing should count the martial arts monks in the monastery and go to the forest with him and Mu Bai to check the situation; reinforcement.
However, when they arrived at the cliff, the man in black had already left, leaving only death-like silence and darkness around.The night was too dark to see what was going on under the cliff at all, so I had to wait until early this morning to make plans.
Fortunately... Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan were fine.
Seeing that Shen Xing and Liu Yue were sure that Song Qinghuan was fine, Mu Bai hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and came over anxiously, not caring about saluting, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, my son...?"
Song Qinghuan nodded, handed him the rope, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Prime Minister Shen is still below, quickly pull him up."
Mu Bai was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and let the rope down the cliff again.
Soon, Shen Chuhan was also pulled up.
"My lord, are you alright?" Seeing him standing still, Mu Bai hurried forward and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." In front of everyone, Shen Chuhan returned to his usual coldness.
Mu Bai's eyes fell on his cloth-bound arm, he was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Shen Chuhan suspiciously, "Master, are you injured?"
"Skin trauma, it's not a problem." Shen Chuhan said lightly, his eyes swept across the faces of the people present.
"When you get down the mountain, find the doctor as soon as possible for Xiang Shen to have a look." Song Qinghuan opened her mouth and glanced at Mu Bai.
Shen Chuhan seemed a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, but heaved a sigh of relief, "Alright, let's find a doctor."
Su Jingci's eyes in the crowd changed, and there was a little deep meaning in his pupils.He separated from the crowd and came out, smiling, with a look of relief on his face, "Diji and Shen Xiang have finally returned safely, so the prince is relieved. I heard from your maid last night that you and Shen Xiang were killed by someone. Chasing and even jumping off a cliff, I really gave this prince a fright." While speaking, his gaze continued to flicker over Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan's body, passing over the delicate knot on Shen Chuhan's arm, and over his slightly disheveled clothes , with deep meaning in his eyes.
Song Qinghuan nodded slightly at him, and smiled slightly, "Third Prince is worried, I'm fine."
Su Jingci also smiled at her gently, "That's good." His eyes paused, and his expression became serious, "But...what's going on? Diji...how did she jump off the cliff with Shen Xiang?" There is an inquiring meaning in the words.
"It's because the series has tired Di Ji." Shen Chuhan interrupted suddenly, with a stern expression, looking at Su Jingci thoughtfully.
Song Qinghuan smiled helplessly, "Who told me to live next door to Prime Minister Shen? Those men in black probably wanted to take someone hostage. This matter...isn't Prime Minister Shen's fault." Speaking of it, it was really bad luck for her , who also lived next door to Shen Chuhan, why didn't this innocent disaster come to Song Qingyi's head?
"The man in black last night came after Prime Minister Shen again?" Su Jing asked with deep eyes.
Shen Chuhan nodded, his expression turned cold.
"Who the hell is this brave! How dare to assassinate Chen Xiang again and again!" Su Jing rebuked.He unfolded the folding fan and shook his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but then his eyes fell on Song Qinghuan, he paused, and swallowed what he wanted to say.
Song Qinghuan knew that he was jealous of him, so he smiled broadly and fixed his eyes, "I will definitely ask my father to send more people to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Shen Chuhan turned his eyes, and slightly bowed towards Song Qinghuan, "It's time for Emperor Ji."
At this time, Xiao Shunzi came over from the side of the cliff, seeing that Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan were safe, he was surprised, and hurriedly quickened his pace.When he got closer, he saw a man who looked like an official beside him.
The man walked up to several people and saluted, "Meng Qi, the next official, I have met Empress Wuyang, the third prince, and Prime Minister Shen."
"Did you find any clues?" Song Qinghuan frowned, slightly displeased.
This Meng Qi was the Minister of Dali Temple in Yu Country, the official who was ordered to investigate Shen Chuhan's assassination case.Although she didn't expect him to find out who was behind the scenes, after so many days, there was no progress at all, she was really incompetent.
If we can find out a little bit of fur, at least we can deter the mastermind behind the scenes, so that they won't be so rampant.
Sweat dripped out of Meng Qi's forehead, his lips trembled, and he said cautiously, "Those men in black set fire to the entire forest, and there is... no evidence to be found in the forest..."
"Then... what happened before? Did you find any clues?" The displeasure on Song Qinghuan's face became more apparent.
Meng Qi buried his head even lower, and thought for a while, "Xiaguan...Xiaguan is stepping up the investigation..." Cold sweat dripped down his back.Emperor Yu pressed hard, but there was no clue about this case. If Empress Wuyang and Shen Xiang had any troubles this time, let alone the black gauze hat, even the head on the neck would be lost.
"That is to say... You have been investigating for so long, but you haven't even made any progress?" Song Qinghuan's breath became cold, and he felt a little angry.
If all the officials in Yuguo are like Meng Qi, how can Yuguo become strong? !It's no wonder that Shen Chuhan insisted on staying in Jian'an to investigate in person, if relying on these people, there would be no progress in the investigation.
Meng Qi faltered and dared not answer.
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiao Shunzi at the side quickly took two steps forward, and smiled happily at Song Qing, "Your Highness has been running around all night, why not go back to the meditation room to rest for a while, and make plans later."
Song Qinghuan knew that no matter how anxious he was now, it was useless. With a "hmm", he said coldly to Meng Qi, "Then please ask Meng Siqing to send more people to step up the investigation, otherwise, how will the father and the palace reconcile with Shen Xiang? State confession?!"
"Yes, yes, the lower officials must step up the investigation." Meng Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly responded.
Song Qinghuan looked at Shen Chuhan, "Shen Xiang also go back to his room to rest for a while."
"Emperor, please."
Shen Chuhan gave way, and the group walked through a messy forest to the meditation room.
After walking out of the forest for a short while, he arrived in front of Song Qinghuan's meditation room.
Xiao Shunzi bowed to Song Qinghuan, "Your Highness, I have brought someone to clean up the yard. If Your Highness minds, I will ask Master Xuanjing to find another clean meditation room."
"No need." She just went into the room to freshen up, and she didn't bother to bother.What's more, the fight last night was in the courtyard, and the room was not damaged.
Xiao Shunzi agreed, and was about to open the door to invite Song Qinghuan in, when the courtyard door of the third Zen room was opened and someone came out.
Taking a closer look, it was Song Qingyi.
Her eyes swept across Song Qinghuan's face, and quickly fixed on Shen Chuhan behind her, her eyes lit up, and she walked over quickly.
"Chen Xiang, Wu Yang, you are finally back, but I am so anxious!" While speaking, her beautiful eyes were full of water, and she was looking at Shen Chuhan, wanting to say something, with affection, not revealing, but just right .
Song Qing smiled happily, "I made the second sister worry."
Song Qingyi took her hand affectionately, with concern and fear at the same time, "What happened last night? I only heard the faint sound of fighting in my sleep. When I came out to have a look, I ran into the third prince. He just called me Don't go out, just stay in your room. Later I heard that you jumped off a cliff with Shen Xiang? I was really shocked and didn't sleep all night. Fortunately, someone came to report that they found you. Only then did I feel at ease."
It was obviously a caring and courteous tone, but it always sounded a little awkward.Especially the words "jumping off a cliff with Prime Minister Shen", seemed to be subconsciously accentuated.
Song Qinghuan withdrew his hand calmly, and glanced at her, "Last night, Prime Minister Shen was attacked by someone, and those people wanted to take me as a hostage. Prime Minister Shen didn't want to hurt other people in the temple, so he led the man in black to the forest. Later The men in black set fire to the forest, and in order to avoid the thick smoke and fire, we took refuge under the cliff for the time being."
She didn't want to make a fuss, so she pushed Shen Chuhan out.
According to his temperament, he probably wouldn't care about these things.
As expected, Shen Chuhan didn't speak, but Mu Bai looked at him in surprise.
My young master has always been cold-tempered and never cared about the lives of others, how could he suddenly care about the lives of other innocent people?
Song Qingyi said "oh", with shadows in his eyes, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.I just came back now, which means I just found two people!The lonely man and widow spent the night under the cliff, who knows what happened? !Although Shen Xiang has an unfeminine character, it still makes her jealous.
At this moment, she even hated that it wasn't her who was hijacked by those men in black!
His expression couldn't help but darken.
Song Qinghuan didn't want to talk to her, so she raised her head and stroked her forehead, "Second Sister Huang, I feel a little unwell, so I went back to my room to rest first." Then, she nodded to everyone, and led Liu Yue and Shen Xing into the courtyard.
After this kind of thing happened, everyone would not continue to stay in Lingyin Temple, and the Ten Mile Peach Forest was not regarded as such in the end.A group of people hurried down the mountain and went back to the Sifang Pavilion and the Imperial Palace respectively.
When Emperor Yu heard about it, he was furious. On the one hand, he personally went to the Sifang Pavilion to appease Shen Chuhan and the Liangguo delegation.
The next day.
"Your Highness, just now one of the servants gave something to the little maid on duty, saying that it will be handed over to you." Liu Yue lifted the curtain and entered, looking at Song Qinghuan who was on the couch.
"Which palace servant?" Song Qinghuan raised his head without haste.
"It's a bit unfamiliar, and I haven't reported my family."
Song Qinghuan frowned slightly, stared at the sandalwood box in Liuyue's hand, and said lightly, "Open it and have a look."
Liuyue responded and opened the box in her hand.
"Your Highness, there is a round box and a note in the box."
"Bring it." Song Qinghuan raised his eyes, a little absent-minded.
Liu Yue handed the note to her.
Song Qinghuan opened it up to take a look, and couldn't help but stare, with a somewhat dazed expression.There are only a few numbers on the note, but the pen is like a snake, and every word and stroke penetrates the back of the paper.
"The wound on the back of Qing's hand can be cured with this ointment." Signed: Shen.
——It's Shen Chuhan
He still remembers the words in the cave that day...
Song Qinghuan clutched the note in his hand, his heart skipped a beat.
He has never been such a careful person, if he used to be, he would never do such ambiguous things to a woman who only met a few times.A person's character will never change easily, so Shen Chuhan...could it be to himself again...?
However, in this life, I didn't have much contact with him, so how could he fall in love with me? !
No matter how you think about it, it feels a little impossible.
She may have developed some affection for him because of the first sight in her previous life, but Shen Chuhan was definitely not someone who fell in love at first sight.
"Your Highness...?" Seeing that Song Qinghuan's expression was somewhat wrong, Liu Yue tentatively called out, "What's wrong with you?"
"No...it's nothing..." Song Qinghuan came back to his senses, grabbed the note in his palm, and kneaded it into a ball.
"Then...this round box...?"
"Throw it away." Song Qinghuan lowered her eyes and ordered lightly.
Liu Yue was startled, and Fushen agreed.
She turned around and was about to leave, but she heard Song Qinghuan stop her behind her, "Wait." After a moment of hesitation, she raised her eyes and said calmly, "It's better...give it to me."
Liu Yue was curious, but didn't ask any further questions, handed the round box to Song Qinghuan, and withdrew again.
Song Qinghuan opened the round box, and there was a crystal clear paste in the box, and a faint fragrance came out.She picked up a little bit with her small fingernail and put it on the tip of her nose for a sniff, distinguishing a few of the precious medicinal herbs for treating burns.
This small box of ointment must be worth a lot.
She sighed, applied the ointment to the small spot on the back of her hand, and looked out of the window in a daze.
Suddenly, there were footsteps again.
It's still the moon.
"What's the matter?" Song Qinghuan put down the round box in her hand when she saw her hurrying footsteps and her eager expression.
"Your Highness, Aunt Chongjin has sent someone over."
Song Qinghuan was slightly startled.
She had just met Aunt Chongjin a few days ago, so she suddenly sent someone over at this moment, why?
Before I had time to think about it, I sat up straight and said, "Quickly ask someone to come in."
The one who came in was a maiden who had to be used by Aunt Chongjin's side, she remembered calling her Ah Zhen.Today Ah Zhen changed into an ordinary court lady's costume, but she didn't want to attract attention.
"I have seen Your Highness."
"Excuse me." Song Qinghuan sat up straight, "Ah Zhen, Aunt Chongjin sent you here, what's the matter?"
"Your Highness, Aunt Chongjin invites you to meet me at the old place at [-]:[-] in the afternoon."
Song Qinghuan frowned, "Do you know why my aunt is looking for me?"
Ah Zhen shook his head, "I don't know, I just ask you to bring Liuyue and Shen Xing with you."
Bring Liuyue and Shen Xing together?In the past, she only brought one person to the appointment, and the other stayed in the palace to take care of her. This time, Aunt Chongjin actually ordered Liu Yue and Shen Xing to go together?What is the matter?
Suppressing the faint uneasiness in his heart, he nodded at Ah Zhen, "Understood, you go and tell Aunt Chongjin that I will definitely bring them to the appointment on time."
In the afternoon, it was three quarters.
When Song Qinghuan arrived in front of Weiyang Palace, Chongjin was already waiting under the peach tree, and when she heard footsteps, she turned around and looked over.
"Aunt Chongjin." Song Qinghuan smiled at her and saluted.
Liu Yue and Shen Xing behind them also saluted.
Chongjin waved at them, signaling them to stand aside and wait, then looked at Song Qinghuan, his eyes fluctuated, and his tone was a little hasty, "Is your Highness injured?"
Knowing that she was asking about falling off the cliff yesterday, Song Qinghuan shook her head, smiled and comforted, "I'm fine, aunt, don't worry."
Chong Jin's eyes darkened, "What's going on?"
Song Qinghuan briefly and concisely omitted what happened the night before yesterday with Chongjin, only omitting Shen Chuhan's ambiguous words in the cave.
Chongjin frowned into a knot.
"That is to say, when His Highness and Shen Xiang led the man in black to the forest, Liu Yue and Shen Xing didn't follow?"
Song Qinghuan didn't know why Chongjin would ask this question, she was taken aback, and quickly explained for them, "Things happened so fast at that time, they didn't have time to react..."
"But Your Highness heard the sound of fighting next door." Chong Jin's breath was a bit heavy.
Song Qinghuan was about to speak again, but Chongjin called Liu Yue and Shen Xing over.
"Didn't you hear the fighting in Shen Xiangyuan that night?" Chong Jin asked coldly.
Liu Yue and Shen Xing were taken aback for a moment, then lowered their heads in shame, "The servants only heard about it later..."
Chong Jin's face was cold, and his tone became cold and hard, "When I put you next to His Highness, I repeatedly emphasized to you that your task is to protect His Highness's safety. Now His Highness is in trouble, and you have never reacted to it." ?! Then what's the use of letting you stay with His Highness?!" There was anger beating in his eyes.
Chong Jin has always had a calm temperament, and rarely shows his emotions, but at this time he reprimanded her heavily, and it seemed that she was indeed in a hurry.
Liu Yue and Shen Xing were apprehensive in their hearts, panicked, knelt down quickly, and first kowtowed to Song Qinghuan, "Your Highness, the slaves and servants know that they are not doing enough to protect them, so I beg Your Highness to punish them." Then they turned to Chongjin, "Please also pay attention Aunt Jin will give the servants another chance."
To them, Chong Jin was not only the person who brought them to His Highness, but also their master.Therefore, they respected him very much in their hearts and did not dare to complain.
What's more, it's true that they didn't do enough to protect His Highness.
Chongjin looked at them with a little unbearable in his eyes.
When the master left, the only explanation was to ask her to take good care of His Highness, and she could not fail the master's entrustment no matter what.At the beginning, I fell in love with Liu Yue and Shen Xing because of their parentless background, since they are orphans, there will be no other fetters in the future.The second is that their bones are clear and strange, and they are good seedlings for martial arts.
It was just that time was tight and they didn't train for too long, so they were brought into the palace.Originally, I thought that His Highness would not be in danger of his life if he lived in the palace, so the maids around him didn't need to be strong in martial arts, they only needed to be sincere and sensitive.
Thinking about it now, she still took it for granted.In the royal family, how can you take it lightly? !
Although His Majesty's martial arts are improving rapidly now, but there are always times when his strength is not enough, it is always good to have two helpers by his side.
Thinking of this, I hardened my heart, and don't look away from them, "Your martial arts are not enough to protect His Highness, so I can only send someone else."
This is to replace yourself?
Liu Yue and Shen Xing panicked, and when they were about to speak, Song Qinghuan said solemnly, "What is Aunt Chongjin doing?"
Chong Jin bowed deeply to Song Qinghuan, "My servant knows that this act of my servant is suspected of overreaching, but my servant would rather His Highness resent this servant than His Highness's safety being threatened again."
Song Qinghuan frowned, "I can protect myself. Besides, nothing happened to me this time." She knew that Chongjin was for her own good, but Liu Yue and Shen Xing already had deep feelings for her, so what Knowing what she wants, how can you just change it?
"This is the only entrustment left by Madam, this servant must not disappoint Madam's trust." Chong Jin did not let go.
"Auntie, the servants must practice hard, and will not put His Highness in any danger again." Shen Xing and Liu Yue hastily assured, with earnest faces.
Chongjin looked at them who were anxious and restless, and then at Song Qinghuan who was clearly displeased, knowing that she couldn't do too much.Otherwise, having a rift with His Highness is not what the master would like to see.
Sighing and looking at Song Qinghuan, "I don't want to be this villain either. Since Your Highness doesn't want to give up Liuyue and Shen Xing, these two girls are also loyal to His Highness, and I hope His Highness can agree to one of my requests."
Seeing that things had turned around, Song Qinghuan frowned slightly, and nodded at Chongjin, "Auntie, please tell me."
