Shen Xingchen leaned against the table in a daze, and in the face of the sudden sound, she suddenly jumped up from the table, she had a lot to ask Li Ziyan.

Pushing open the door, there was the man in black standing in front of him.

"Something?" Shen Xingchen looked around, but did not find Li Ziyan's figure.

"Don't look at it, it's just me!" Xiao Yao's eyebrows softened slightly, and he said, "Don't invite me in and sit!"

In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, inappropriate. The three words inappropriate did not come out, Xiao Yao took the lead in pushing the door into the room. Shen Xingchen couldn't stop it, so he could only turn around and follow him.

Xiao Yao didn't treat himself as an outsider, sat there, and stretched out his hand to the position next to him: "Sit down and talk!"

Shen Xingchen sat down, but he was muttering in his heart the purpose of Xiao Yao's trip, they were not close enough to the point of chatting!

"Xiao Yao!"

"The surname Xiao, the surname of the country!"

Although Shen Xingchen is from the rivers and lakes and doesn't care much about the situation in the court, the three-year-old child knows about the fact that the country surname is Xiao.

Xiao Yao didn't deny it, there was a rare hint of a smile on that cold face, but it was also fleeting: "Then you definitely don't know Ziyan's identity......"

Li Ziyan has an extraordinary bearing, even if he was the first son of the Hualou title, it can't detract from his outstanding temperament, the more they get along, the more they feel that Li Ziyan's identity is not simple, Shen Xingchen has long guessed his identity, but he didn't expect him to be the prince of Lin Wangfu.

This prince actually wandered into the Qinglou, just to find a piece of blood jade and find someone. When Xiao Yao revealed Li Ziyan's identity, Shen Xingchen was still very shocked in his heart.

Li Ziyan's identity was revealed to be a big thunder, and Shen Xingchen was still in shock, and was soon completely covered by another important piece of information.

Xiao Yao is the monarch, and the real identity of Feng Xiaoxiao is the princess. In this way, sending a prince to find the princess is not too much to compromise the majesty of his identity.

"Ziyan told me about you, everything. ”

Xiao Yao felt the scrutiny in Shen Xingchen's eyes, and continued, "He likes you a lot. ”

At first glance, this is quite ear-catching, but then it is cautious.

Shen Xingchen didn't know what Xiao Yao's purpose was, even if it was his nominal brother, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and the way he looked at her, something was wrong, as if it was full of some kind of design.

The gentleman's heart is unpredictable, even if Li Ziyan is really his friend, but he is also a minister. The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, let alone use them.

Shen Xingchen's brows were furrowed very tightly, although he resisted Xiao Yao's calculations in his heart, but he didn't dare to be too obvious in his tone: "It's just a folk girl, waiting out of this capital, it's even more ......"

Shen Xingchen really didn't want to cause trouble to Li Ziyan because of himself, so he hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"Don't be presumptuous, I won't say your identity, you naturally know it in your heart, don't be hostile to anyone, cumin is my friend, I don't have any thoughts against him. I'm just looking for you to discuss one thing with you. Xiao Yao laughed lightly, and there was quite appreciation in his eyes.

Shen Xingchen still didn't dare to take it lightly, and there was still some vigilance in his eyes, although Xiao Yao was very friendly to her at the moment. said in a deep voice: "Xiao Gongzi has something to say, please speak up, but in his heart, he is really weak, and I am afraid that he will live up to Xiao Gongzi's love." ”

Shen Xingchen has always emphasized her identity, which also directly indicates her position, her purpose is to meet her biological mother, and then leave, and she doesn't want to get involved in the things here.

Of course, Xiao Yao also understood, but he still didn't give up and said: "If you want to, the identity of the county lord is a matter of my word." Seeing that Shen Xingchen wanted to refute, Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "It can be seen that you are not ordinary to Ziyan, and marrying as the county lord is considered a good match." And your identity is a little special, if you are free in the future, you can often enter the palace to accompany my mother. ”

Although she is only a county lord and not a princess, compared with the people's daughter, her status has been raised by many degrees in an instant. Gold and silver are rich, wishful thinking, monstrous power, as long as Shen Xingchen nods his head lightly, everything is in the palm of his hand.

This is simply a matter that does not need to be considered, life is not bad, who doesn't want to put the icing on the cake and go to the next level.

It is said that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and the people in the rivers and lakes are good at killing people with knives, of course, there is no shortage of Liu Li, who will do everything to avenge himself, and there are still such insidious people in Hongfeng Villa, not to mention the power criss-cross and powerful courts, for the sake of power, wealth, and the most important thing is the means of competition and suppression. The higher the status, the more ferocious the victimization.

Xiao Yao is right, she does have different feelings for Li Ziyan, she likes the feeling of getting along with Li Ziyan, and she never thought that one day she would really marry Li Ziyan, let alone stay with him in this place full of rights and wrongs. She knows that she is not a shrewd person, and she can't guarantee that she can always stay awake and calm when she stays in a dark place, and she has no reason, not to mention her special feelings for Li Ziyan.

Regardless of whether Xiao Yao's words were tentative or sincere, Shen Xingchen gave him the answer without hesitation: "I don't know what answer you want from me, I can tell you clearly that I won't stay." ”

Xiao Yao stared at Shen Xingchen's determined eyes and continued, "What if Zi Yan stays?"

"Everyone has their own choices and I respect every one of his choices. Shen Xingchen heard a lot of interesting things about Li Ziyan from Xu Daoyi, most of which he traveled out.

There is not a word about Lin Wangfu, but it is conceivable that this Lin Wangfu is not as important to Li Ziyan as a free and easy life.

There are many things she doesn't know, but she knows that Li Ziyan is a sane person, and he knows what he wants and what kind of life he likes. He likes to live a free and free life, if one day he changes his mind and wants to stay as his prince, Shen Xingchen will not have any complaints, nor will he stop his steps.

If you like a person, the first thing you have to learn is respect, she respects Li Ziyan and herself. Li Ziyan can't go with her, so she will go forward with the common memories of the two, what is the distance, and the absence of the mind is the more terrible thing.

"People have no foresight, there must be near-term worries are people will be tired, tired home is the best destination, you don't want to now, but you can't guarantee that you don't want to in the future." ”

Shen Xingchen smiled: "Xiao Gongzi is right, maybe I am short-sighted and only thinking about the future, but the world is impermanent, who can say clearly what will happen in the future, it will not be unpredictable, I don't know if I will regret my choice today in the future, but if I don't follow my own wishes now, I will be very uncomfortable now." For the sake of things that don't know, or things that won't happen at all, no one wants to do this kind of thankless thing now. ”

Xiao Yao laughed silently, the sharpness between his eyebrows and eyes decreased with his smile, and his skeletal face softened a little, still not like Feng Xiaoxiao's mother.

"Your father and mother should have asked you for a teacher, with strange thinking, which is not understandable to ordinary people. Xiao Yao knew that he had pinned some hope on Shen Xingchen and was extinguished by her, which would be peaceful. originally wanted to convince her, but who knew that he had fallen first.

Power and bullying, Shen Xingchen can only admit it even if she is her sister, but Xiao Yao doesn't want to do it, she is right, a person has to face many choices, this is not only her own choice, but also Li Ziyan's choice, this friend for many years, how could he not understand.

That's it, that's it, it's not what he wants to stay forcibly. But thinking of his mother, he still had to speak: "My mother's health is not good, there are not many days left, and everything happened back then was because of my own mother's jealousy that caused you to be abandoned, and it was not her fault, so as an older brother, I want to ask you to accompany her more." ”

Shen Xingchen's eyes widened, it was really hard to believe, the 'palace secrets' must not be known to others, although it was only a few words, this was already the maximum explanation that Xiao Yao could give her. There is no civil strife in the palace, only what you can't think of, nothing they can't do, Xu Daoyi said, her mother is just a woman with no power and no power, and finally became the current queen mother, the difficulties can be imagined, Feng Xiaoxiao was discarded or just a small point in the difficulties.

One sentence, but instantly ironed out all the knots in Shen Xingchen's heart.

She nodded cautiously, "Okay." ”

Xiao Yao got up slowly, and when he passed Shen Xingchen, he reached out and patted her shoulder lightly a few times, and nodded at him: "Okay." ”

Shen Xingchen didn't expect the emperor to thank her, so he could only nod at him. Xiao Yao withdrew his hand, his eyes suddenly changed, and he asked with some curiosity: "Ziyan has liked the outside world since he was a child, and the outside world is really so good, it is worth your lingering! It seems that I will have to take some time to go out for a walk in the future." ”

Shen Xingchen: The "......" emperor has endless gold and silver treasures, the honor admired by thousands of people, the vast and boundless territory, and the millions of people who look up to him, but he can only read the music in a palace carved with dragons and paintings. The envy in his eyes can't be hidden, it's actually quite pitiful, but it's also his choice to choose the magnificent world.

When Xiao Yao went out, he suddenly turned around and said, "I made a bet with Ziyan just now. ”

"What kind of bet?" When Shen Xingchen turned around to ask, Xiao Yao didn't give her an answer, just gave her a meaningful smile, and then walked away.
