Seeing that the words had come to this, Shen Shuzhao felt that she didn't need to say anything more.

Zhen Shangze frowned deeply, and only said that he would think about it, and if there was still a chance in the future, he would meet Miss Shen again, and then he asked the doorman to send them out.

After walking out of the Zhen Mansion, Shen Shuzhao returned to the carriage and looked at the Zhen Mansion surrounded by clouds and mist in the bamboo forest, she couldn't help but sink her eyes: "This person doesn't seem to be convincing, we have to visit a few more times." ”

Gao Dezhong was silent for a while, and his thin back looked lonely in the carriage. He pinched the rope of the carriage, and the thin green tendons on the back of his hand were visible, and after a while, he spoke: "Your Majesty...... You can't wait. ”

Such words are like a wake-up call, throwing them on the surface of the lake in the heart, causing a thousand ripples.

Shen Shuzhao was silent, she slowly closed her eyes, yes, I can't wait. As soon as this month passes, whether to become a puppet palace concubine or a free strategist is all concerned with the idea of the queen mother's next move.

She really couldn't wait.

Eldest Princess...... When she read this name in her heart, anxiety hit her heart, did she have to pass by her like in her previous life?

There is nothing more clear about her feelings for Wei Yang than the heartbeat that secretly swells up when she is alone with her. If Wei Yang is going to get married one day, should she congratulate her on her big day as a cousin? No...... She didn't want to.

At the very least, she had to give Wei Yang a chance to choose her fate before she knew what was going to happen.

Not only for Wei Yang, but also for herself.

Without anyone knowing, the changes in the second half of her life and Wei Yang have been invisibly tied together like a red thread.

If she wins, Wei Yang will stay.

She fails, and Wei Yang will also leave.

Shen Shuzhao took a deep breath, and a little more sorrow added to her forehead, she ordered herself not to repeat the mistakes of the past. In front of the small window in Shen's mansion, the candlelight silhouette of her mother pacing back and forth for her entry into the palace, and the old lady secretly helping herself in front of everyone, these little things have become a blessing in her misfortune in this life.

In her previous life, because of the eldest lady, she couldn't be as filial to the old lady as she is now, but fortunately, she came back to her life and was no longer as ignorant as a child. She sighed, she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, just because God always seemed to treat her badly and treated her well.

Inadvertently, her eyes fell on the white-clothed beauty in front of her, even if she was dressed as a young man, it would still make her heart beat, and she saw Wei Yang's sad brows stretched faintly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

She felt a pain in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

Wei Yang rarely showed such a look, but he quickly and naturally hid his sorrow, and only smiled calmly at Shen Shuzhao: "I'm fine." ”

The two looked at each other, each with their own concerns. She knew what she was carrying, but she didn't know what Wei Yang was worried about, and she really ...... Or know too little about her.

After a while, Wei Yang suddenly asked, "You have been frowning, but it makes Gu think a lot, what ...... You okay? ”

Shen Shuzhao shook her head gently: "The courtiers just thought about the things next to them and thought about the queen mother." ”

Wei Yang snorted, and then she looked at Shen Shuzhao, a dark cloud of uncertainty flowed through her eyes, and she moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she suppressed it again, and returned to the original, her most expressionless expression.

Looking at Wei Yang's speechless action, Shen Shuzhao looked over suspiciously, but the other party only looked back at him quietly and did not answer.

Smelling the body fragrance of Wei Yang, who seemed to be nothing, she stopped making a sound.

Halfway through the carriage, he entered a bamboo forest, Gao Dezhong lowered his voice and said, "Princess, second miss, the old slave feels that there are people around us who are following us. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the carriage suddenly became alert. The tear-stained woman only flipped the back of her hand, and then an extra sharp blade appeared in the palm of her hand, and her eyes were fierce.

Wei Yang looked coldly outside the car curtain, his hand on the cooler tied around his waist, and listened intently.

Shen Shuzhao felt cold sweat, the person hiding in the shadows was really ruthless enough, paying attention to their itinerary again and again, and he had even acted directly before.

She suddenly thought of something, so she asked softly, "Eldest princess, don't we also have secret guards with us?" ”

"Shh," Wei Yang said, "those people are very close to us, but not necessarily no one is following us in the distance. ”

At this time, Gao Dezhong also stepped up his journey, Shen Shuzhao sat motionless, and Wei Yang kept paying attention to the situation outside the carriage.

"The Secret Guard will protect Your Highness." The tear-mole beauty beside her said.

The carriage had only gone far, and the sound of the bamboo forest was getting louder and louder, like a strong wind, and Shen Shuzhao saw that the faces of the two people opposite were getting worse and worse, "Bang! A loud bang suddenly came from the bamboo forest in the distance, "What's wrong......" Before she could see what was happening, she heard Wei Yang shouting to the coachman outside: "Hurry up!" ”

Gao Dezhong was naturally prepared, he tightened the reins in his hand almost as soon as Wei Yang spoke, and quickly chose a shortcut, breaking through the lush foliage above the interfering carriage, and scraping the carriage to move forward regardless of the qiē.

The carriage ran wildly all the way through the murderous bamboo forest, and without waiting for a moment of respite, it rushed out like crazy, and the bamboo forest that remained behind it stood silently, watching Shen Shuzhao and his party flee into the distance as if they were trying to survive.

As everyone knows, when their carriage gradually drove out of the bamboo forest, from the bright green green bamboo behind them, a stream of red blood flowed down the pool after pool, along the bamboo knot bit by bit to the ground, looking extremely enchanting, after the blood froze, the bamboo forest returned to the quietness it should have.

Shen Shuzhao listened attentively to the sound outside the car curtain, and at this time, a cold hand stretched out by her side, softly holding her miserable white hand, she didn't have to turn sideways and turned back, she also knew that this temperature and softness belonged to Wei Yang.

She saw Wei Yang staring at her seriously, and said, "Don't be afraid, cousin, I said I would protect you." ”

However, this time Shen Shuzhao didn't have time to think deeply, and just shook her back strongly: "Your Highness, I can also protect you." ”

She said word by word, with a gaze that was more rigorous than Wei Yang's.

There was a tremor in her voice for fear that Wei Yang would not know her enough firmness.

And Shen Shuzhao's other hand was silently holding her hidden poisonous weapon at this time, which she carried when she left the palace.

If...... She said that if the eldest princess accompanied her out of the palace and encountered an accident, she would not forgive herself.

If anyone dares to come forward, she will definitely protect her.

Wei Yang has a promising path to the eldest princess that she can't match, and she is just a famous little girl, and her life is far less valuable than hers.

She wouldn't have watched anything happen to Wei Yang.

This......

Probably it's the duty of not hesitating when you like a person.

Shen Shuzhao took the initiative to sit next to Wei Yang, which made Wei Yang look surprised, but she didn't care about it, and kept staring at Wei Yang's autumn eyes until she could clearly see her figure reflected in Wei Yang's cut pupils.

Until Wei Yang's body became more and more stiff, until they were closer and closer to each other.

She heard herself say—

"Let me protect you for once," Shen Shuzhao said resolutely, "I won't let you have any trouble." ”

She didn't know how much her eyes revealed her inner feelings at this time, and how much she showed that deep feelings.

At that moment, she saw Wei Yang have a rare flushed expression slightly.

There was a flowing brilliance surging in the understream, it was at a loss, it was the shock after the joy, Wei Yang looked at himself in a daze, speechless.

"Zhao'er ......"

She heard Wei Yang muttering in a low voice.

Calling her tone like this, she was suddenly stunned.

In this short moment, in a thought, many inexplicable memories came flooding up. She looked into Wei Yang's eyes, and suddenly fell into those strange and unknown scenes.

Those memories that are suffocated like a tide, completely unaware.

This is a long dark night, scattered fireworks, on the seashore of Hydrangea Lake, two women in long skirts look at each other, their eyes are affectionate, and within a moment, in this beautiful atmosphere, the taller one slowly lowers his head, and the slightly lower one stands on tiptoe and gently greets it.

The lips touched.

At this time, the most graceful fireworks are set off in the sky.

It burns like two young and soft beings in bloom.

It lit up the entire festive harem full of the Queen Mother's thousand autumn banquets for a while.

Then, one by one, places she had never seen before, flashed in front of her eyes like a flash.

Shen Shuzhao wanted to stop and take a closer look at them all, but found that in vain, she couldn't make them stop.

As she walked through the palace corridor, she saw two women with long skirts behind her, snuggling up to each other, walking leisurely on the road. The palace maids who passed by all saluted them to the highest status in the harem, but when they left, those palace people turned their backs and covered their mouths and noses and pointed at them, saying something she couldn't hear clearly.

But judging by the expression, it won't be a good word.

Immediately afterward, she saw the peacock dotted with emerald hairpins on the hair of one of the women, reflecting the moonlight in the dark corner.

And she heard a man swear to the well-dressed woman with an extraordinary temperament, telling him his endless admiration. He said that their family matched, and he said, they were a match made in heaven.

Outstanding men and women are a perfect match in the world.

At this time, the palace concubine woman in the darkness had to hide in the most unsightly corner, at a loss to listen to the man openly talking about admiring the beauty opposite, she stood helplessly, not knowing where to hide for a while.

She just missed her, so she secretly took advantage of the night to enter the temple to see her, but she received embarrassing salutes from many of the person's personal maids along the way. When she accidentally passed by, she overheard such a conversation.

Her blurred tear sockets could no longer see the bright place, the woman's expression.

Is it cheerful, or is it expressionless?

She leaned down and began to sobble silently.

In a dark corner that is only her own.

In the blink of an eye, the two people standing were blurred, and the woman who was crying in a low voice gradually disappeared into the thoughts that began to fade away.

Sadness swept through Shen Shuzhao's body, and the low cry strongly locked her heart.

However, in the end, Shen Shuzhao still saw the beauty holding the hand of the woman who was still immersed in sadness in the previous scene.

It was under the bright moon, on the edge of the lake shrouded in moonlight, the green silk of the beauty fluttered in the breeze, and her eyes reflected a softer affection than the moonlight, as if between heaven and earth, she would rather abandon the world than leave the woman on the opposite side alone in the world, she would like to live forever, wish to interlock her fingers, and wish to be only enough to stay in each other's eyes.

The eyes never lie.

That love, she doesn't need to say much, just a look in her eyes, and it is incisive.

“…… I will protect you. ”

In just a few words, she could barely hear it.

Then the two embraced, and the moonlight also took pity on the two beauties, even the silhouette on the lake looked hazy and beautiful, and a ripple was not enough to erase the bright smile reflected, nor did it scatter the strong hugging and clinging figure.

Memories were close at hand, and Shen Shuzhao wanted to carefully recall the faces in the reflection, but suddenly all the qiē on the surface of the lake lost their color, and every qiē seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss.

She felt as if she was at the bottom of a cold lake, and suddenly her memories rushed backwards like a flood, and all of a sudden, she was thrown out of her memory.

Shen Shuzhao suddenly had a thrill, and immediately came back to her senses, she looked at the person in front of her clearly and tremblingly, the familiar outline, the familiar eyes, this is the reality - she finally, finally pulled out of this strange memory!

Wei Yang looked at her distracted demeanor and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Shuzhao didn't say anything, she hugged Wei Yang, and for some reason, tears suddenly flowed out. Although there was only a shallow line on her face, her heart was already full of tears of loss.

All of a sudden, I just wanted to cry......

She is afraid that such a strange memory belonging to others will enter her mind, witnessing the bumpy and affectionate love path of others, and she has nothing.

What's more, at such a critical moment, she was afraid that she would lose her, but even if she passed this hurdle, she would have to change her fate by herself in the future, but if she was a little careless, she would have to pass by Wei Yang again.

But she didn't want to pass by.

Wrapping her arms around Wei Yang's warm back, Shen Shuzhao secretly clenched the sharp blade in her sleeve, she would not let Wei Yang lose the slightest hint, and she could also protect the woman she liked.

Whether it's in the open or in the dark, whether it's standing up or plotting in the dark......

Wei Yang, I will protect you.
