In the East Garden, Shu Qingyue was alone in the room, playing a game of chess alone. Every time she drops a chess piece, she has to think about it for a long time, as if she is facing a real game.

And that game of chess, she played for two hours.

The sky outside the room was already dark before I knew it.

"Knock, knock," there was a knock on the door outside the room, and then, a maid pushed the door in, it was not Xiaoqing, it was another maid who brought dinner to Shu Qingyue.

"Where's Xiaoqing?" Shu Qingyue asked the maid.

"I don't know. The marshal only said, these days, let me serve Miss Shu instead of Xiaoqing. "The maid is the same age as Xiaoqing, and she is also a very simple girl.

Why did Ning Sichen ask someone to replace Xiaoqing? Is it because of the poisoning incident in the morning? Shu Qingyue was a little worried about Xiaoqing in her heart, but she thought again, Xiaoqing didn't do anything, and Ning Sichen shouldn't be embarrassed by a maid. Perhaps, it was Xiaoqing who was in troubled water for no reason, and he slapped Huo Yunyang heavily, and Ning Sichen just let Xiaoqing rest for a few days.

"The concubine is still in the house?" Shu Qingyue asked again.

"After the concubine had lunch, she went back to the palace." The maid replied. When the maid spoke, her demeanor did not change at all, and she did not seem to know what had happened in the morning.

Is it that Ning Feixue's poisoning has not spread in the Ning Mansion, or has Ning Sichen sealed the mouths of all those who know? Shu Qingyue prefers the latter. Poisoning the concubine Niangniang, after all, is not a trivial matter, the emperor blames it, it must be widely implicated, and then find out that the main envoy is Huo Yunyang, it is undoubtedly a scandal for the Ning Mansion, when the time comes, Huo Yunyang will not escape the blame, Ning Feixue will inevitably lose face, and let other officials in the court see the joke. It is conceivable that Ning Sichen will naturally not let this matter be publicized.

As for what Ning Sichen would do with Huo Yunyang in the end, whether Ning Feixue already knew that the person who harmed her was Huo Yunyang, whom she loved the most and trusted, it was difficult for Shu Qingyue to guess.

As for Huo Yunyang and Ning Feixue wanting to frame Shu Fu for this matter, even if Ning Sichen didn't stop them, Shu Qingyue would not be able to let them succeed.

Shu Qingyue was eating while thinking about something.

The maid waited until Shu Qingyue finished eating, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then walked out of the room.

Shu Qingyue sat in the room for a while, got up, went to add a thick coat, and opened the door and walked out. When she went out of the room, she took a few steps to the right and came to the door of Ning Sichen's room. She had already thought about it, and she would leave Ning Mansion early tomorrow morning. At the beginning, she asked to come to Ning Mansion without authorization, but now that she is leaving, no matter how you say it, she should also talk to Ning Sichen in person. However, Ning Sichen's room was dark, there was no one inside, and he never came back all afternoon. Don't know when he'll be back? Shu Qingyue turned back, looked up at the sky in the distance, in the inky black night sky, there were no stars, only a bend of the moon hanging in the sky, she just looked at the sky like that, the night was so quiet, the surroundings were so quiet, so quiet as if there was nothing left.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ning Sichen returned to the East Garden. As soon as he entered the garden, he saw Shu Qingyue standing at the door of his room.

She deliberately waited there, looking for something to do with him?

However, Ning Sichen's footsteps stopped in place and did not walk towards Shu Qingyue.

The very delicate relationship that happened in the morning between him, her, and between him and her, undoubtedly caused some irreversible changes.

The relationship between him and her really can't stand a little test, and it will be broken when touched.

Shu Qingyue was also separated by a distance of more than a dozen steps, staring at Ning Sichen from a distance.

For a long, long time, the two stood face to face, their garments blowing in the wind, falling, rising and falling, and hanging down, but neither of them spoke.

At that moment, it was as if time had stopped.

It's been a long time since then, and Shu Qingyue walked towards Ning Sichen.

There are some things that must always be faced, and she and he cannot stand here motionless forever.

"General Ning, can you take me to that roof?" Shu Qingyue stretched out her finger to the roof above her room and said to Ning Sichen.

"Where are you doing?" Ning Sichen was puzzled, not knowing what she was going to do.

"Don't you think you can get closer to the sky when you go up to the roof." Shu Qingyue smiled quietly and said.

Ning Sichen didn't understand what Shu Qingyue was thinking at all, and after hesitating for a while, he still approached her. He wrapped his left hand around her waist, which was so thin that one of his hands could wrap around her. Shu Qingyue didn't resist either, and let Ning Sichen hug her waist. "Catch it." Ning Sichen motioned for Shu to grab his waist, and Shu Qingyue hesitated for a moment before hugging him. At that moment, she and him were so close that they could feel the beating of each other's bodies. However, that kind of "closeness" did not last long, Ning Sichen used the soles of his feet hard, and jumped on the nearest roof with Shu Qingyue and Shu Qingyue. Ning Sichen first let Shu Qingyue stand firm, and then let go of her.

Shu Qingyue also let go of Ning Sichen, and then sat down on the tiles. When Ning Sichen saw her sit down, he also sat beside her.

"General Ning knows, whether it was before, now, or in the future, I don't want to be your enemy." Shu Qingyue looked at the night sky again, and she said.

She never wanted to be an enemy of him, even if they would eventually become enemies.
