In the ballad of Cangwu, Shen Congqi is standing in front of the fish tank to feed the goldfish. Because she had just disturbed a pool of water and fished in troubled waters, she wanted to feed these goldfish well now, so that they could be fed.

Cuizhu held the tray in both hands and whispered to her: "As the master expected, the county lord went to the torture hall, and the prince also went." ”

Shen Congqian had long expected that things would develop like this, but there was no smug look in his eyebrows. She still fed the goldfish slowly, and said coldly: "Let people keep an eye on them, and report back as soon as there is a movement." ”

"Yes. Cuizhu bowed his head in response, and someone came in with a letter, and handed it to Cuizhu respectfully.

"Master, I'm from Jinling. ”

"Give it to me. Shen Congqian stretched out her hand to take the letter and opened it, a simple figure was drawn on it, she analyzed it, and understood that it was urging from above, and she was disgusted that she was not moving fast enough. Also, the spy master's shot was fast and ruthless, so that people had no ability to fight back, and now that she has been dragging on for so long, the above will naturally be anxious. She casually placed the letter on the candle flame and burned it to ashes, and went to see the fish in the fish tank.

"But it's urging from above?" asked Cuizhu.

"Hmm. Shen Congqian replied lightly, thinking that if she wasn't pregnant and delayed doing things, how could she make Xu Jinsheng comfortable for so long?

"Master, what should we do next?"

"Wait and see. ”

"I'm afraid that if the time drags on for a long time, it will be discovered that Mu Li is actually hit by something. ”

Shen Congqian smiled, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he narrated in a calm voice: "Tonghua is a secret medicine that is not passed on, I think you are also very curious about what it is, right?"

Cuizhu bowed his head: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"It doesn't hurt to let you know, the beauty of Tonghua is that it is not poison or medicine, but it can hook out what people want most in their hearts. ”

"So, you can't find out, can you?"

"Yes, it is like a row of geese flying through the sky, coming with great noise, and leaving without a trace. ”

Cuizhu's eyes were worried: "But the county lord is proficient in medical science, and the slave maid is still afraid that she will be detected." ”

Shen Congqian shook his head: "I've said it so clearly, don't you even understand?" Tonghua will only magnify the idea in people's hearts infinitely, but it can't control people's behavior. The reason why Mu Li did that kind of ridiculous thing was because he had that thing in his heart, and his thoughts were very strong, and it was not caused by Tonghua. ”

Cuizhu's eyes widened, and she looked at Shen Congqian in disbelief, her lips were closed for a long time before she made a voice: "The guard fell in love with the county lord, this is a big crime to kill the head, how dare he have such a thought?"

"Therefore, Mu Li will definitely beg for death, because he can't stand it. What is the injury of the body, the torment of the heart is the extreme, he regards the county lord as life, how can he allow himself to hurt her? and in this way. As soon as Mu Li died, Xu Jince and Xu Jinsheng could be regarded as having their love affair exhausted. ”

"Do you think the prince will definitely do it? The slave thinks that he spoils the county lord very much, and maybe he will let Mu leave the horse. ”

"Then you don't know the pride of their aristocracy. In order to protect his sister, Xu Jince will definitely make this matter as if it never happened, and the best way is to make Mu Li disappear. ”

Cuizhu's heart couldn't bear it for a moment, after all, they were all born to be driven by others, and it was inevitable that there would be a little pity in his heart. No matter how Mu Li treated his master with sincerity, he would be wiped out because of his mistakes in the end. This is the fate of their inferior people, who spend their whole lives doing their best, but always making wedding clothes for others. It's sad and lamentable!

Shen Congqian didn't know what he had in mind, so he threw all the fish food in his hand into the fish tank with a calm eyebrow, and watched them scramble to grab it coldly. She walked to the window and looked out of the window, night had fallen, and darkness was bound to swallow everything.

Her hand gently caressed her lower abdomen, there was a little life in it, and she couldn't help but plan for it, so she had to find a way out for herself. She closed her eyes, raised her cheeks, and let the cold wind pass through her skin, causing shivers.

After a long time, she hooked her lips and smiled, full of pride. Because her eyes were closed, no one could see the gloom and desolation in her eyes at this moment.

Honey is thrown, arsenic is reciprocated.

Xu Jinsheng, I failed your kindness and owed you again. I'm not free, I can't do what I want. I don't like to owe favors, I hope that in this life, there will be a chance to repay your life-saving grace, if not, then pin your hopes on the next life......

In the torture hall, the atmosphere was solemn.

Nalan Jinxiu still looked at Xu Jince stubbornly, refusing to retreat at all. Xu Jince's chin straightened, his thin lips pursed into a line, and he said coldly: "What are the rules of the torture hall, I didn't let it stop, who dares to stop?"

As soon as the two people in charge of the punishment heard what the prince said, they didn't dare to delay any longer, picked up the wooden stick on the ground, and continued to beat. Nalan Jinxiu saw that they started again, and her brother looked at it coldly, she felt that she was not respected. She began to think to herself, it was a big deal to be killed with Mu Li. Thinking like this, she pounced on Mu Li.

When the two people in charge of the torture came to their senses and stopped, they had already hit Nalan Jinxiu on the back twice. There was originally an old wound on her back, and the knife that Bai Qi slashed at the beginning was extremely deep, and after such a long time, the scar has not fully recovered. When the weather changes, the wound on the back will still be itchy and painful. Now that he was beaten twice, he immediately bled out.

Mu Li turned his head with difficulty, and tried very hard to squeeze out a few words: "Don't touch her!" He was too injured to move, so he just looked at her and said, "County Lord, go back." ”

Nalan Jinxiu shook her head, her voice was weak, but her tone was unquestionably firm: "I want to bring you back with me." ”

Mu Li's nose was a little sour, why was she so stupid? He made such a mistake, how could he go back to the Star Tower with her again? I'm afraid that it will be impossible in this life. He closed his eyes and whispered, "Why bother, it's not worth it." ”

What Nalan Jinxiu thought was, you even dare to eat poison for me, what do I have to do for you?

"Stop! Are you blind? Even the county lord dares to move?" Xu Jince was also distressed when he saw that his sister was beaten, and he also felt the same way when he hit her.

The two men in charge of the torture had to stand there with a wooden stick in their hands, not daring to move. Anyway, they feel now that whether they offend the county lord or the prince, they don't have any good fruit to eat, so it's better to pretend to be stupid.

Xu Jince didn't have time to worry about them, he strode over and took Nalan Jinxiu off Mu Li's back. Nalan Jinxiu is not so easy to deal with, twisting in his arms, not cooperating at all.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Xu Jince felt that he had never been so angry in his life, if it weren't for seeing her thin and weak, he really wanted to beat her.

"I just want to take him back to the Star Picking Tower. ”

Xu Jince didn't want to quarrel with her here, so he carried her to another room. Before going out, Nalan Jinxiu threatened the two people who were in charge of punishment, saying that if they moved Mu Li again, she would kill them.

"Now that something like that has happened, you can't avoid him if you are someone else, you are good, and you still bump up?" Xu Jince's tone was still not good, obviously his anger was still unresolved.

"I want to ignore him, can I do it? If I don't care, you're going to beat people to death." ”

"Isn't he innocent?"

"I don't care! I just won't let you beat him again, I'm going to take him back to the Star Picking Tower. ”

"You don't think it's messy enough now, do you know what it means if you bring him back to the Star Picking Tower now? What will others think, and what will they say and speculate about your relationship?

Nalan Jinxiu naturally knows, but I'm afraid that the mansion has gone crazy now. Fortunately, the Zhenbei Wangfu is full of well-trained guards, and if this is put in the courtyard of the deep mansion in Jinling City, there will be more women, and the legend will be more mysterious.

"I don't care. ”

Xu Jince finally found out that his sister was still young after all and didn't know the seriousness of this matter. If it is spread, then her criteria for choosing a county horse will be lowered a lot, and she will not even be able to marry a good family. Isn't this equivalent to ruining the happiness of the rest of her life? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and asked, "Don't you care?

In her last life, she had already realized how painful it would be for people to hurt people with bad words. It's just that now she sees that she lives for herself, not to please others, and what others want to say, it's up to them, and she pretends not to hear it.

"Didn't he succeed either?" Nalan Jinxiu muttered, and said, "Don't you think it's strange brother, Mu Li is too abnormal today, I suspect that he was drugged." ”

As soon as Xu Jince heard her say this, his eyebrows rose up, and he seemed to be angry. He took a deep breath, afraid that he really couldn't help but want to hit her, "If he succeeds, do you think I can keep him until now?" As for the drugging, I have already asked someone to check, no. ”

"How is that possible? Could it be that the person you found is not good at medicine?"

"Do you think my men are such a waste of wood? I kept them here to play with so many things that I can't find out?"

Nalan Jinxiu had no other way for a while, so she had to show weakness. She frowned and whispered, "My back hurts, your men broke me." ”

Xu Jince was mostly angry just now, although he knew that she had been beaten, he didn't care to see how she was hurt. Now that I heard her say this, I was also a little anxious, and when I looked at her back, I was even more angry when I saw it, and said sharply: "You have blood on your back, why didn't you say it earlier?"
