Everyone's eyes were all on Shen Bai, although most of them were exploring and there was no hostility, it still made people feel like a man.

Shen Bai was a little uncomfortable and subconsciously clenched Gu Hengzhou's hand after not facing such an occasion for three years.

Gu Hengzhou didn't look at her, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

The male and female dependents did not wait separately, everyone walked and sat together, and Shen Bai soon saw some familiar faces.

Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Jiang, Ye Wanyu, and Sun, these ladies have not changed much from before, they are all pampered masters, and their bodies are plump, and they still have the charm of racing one by one compared to when they were young.

Lu Qingqing married Wu Shouxin, Mrs. Lu was only followed by one Lu Xiu, Lu Xiu was still dressed as a girl, and she had not yet left the cabinet, when she saw Shen Bai, she happily greeted her after the accident.

Shen Bai remembered that he now had a new identity, so he only glanced at Lu Xiu twice and did not respond.

Gu Hengzhou set up his own door, but according to the relationship between relatives and relatives, he still had to sit with the people in the second room.

Gu Huaijin and Gu Tingge were not there, and Ye Wanyu was sitting next to Gu Hengxiu and Gu Hengdu.

Gu Heng decided to marry a wife, the girl looked delicate, Shen Bai looked at the face, thinking that the status of her mother's family was not very high, and sitting next to Gu Heng decided also lowered her head, not daring to look at it at will.

Gu Heng decided to be different, he had gained a lot of weight, the whole person looked fat and big-eared, his already small eyes were squeezed into a slit, and he caught a glimpse of Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou walking together, and his eyes tried to squeeze away to express his shock.

Gu Hengxiu has no one by his side, he shouldn't have married a wife yet, but he doesn't have the vigor of the young man three years ago, although he is wearing a thick winter coat, Shen Bai can also see that he is not thin now, and his eye sockets are a little sunken, as if he has some serious illness.

Gu Hengzhou's current rank is above Gu Huaijin, and he took Shen Bai to Ye Wanyu's side, Shen Bai was originally next to Ye Wanyu, Gu Hengzhou pulled it at will, pulled Shen Bai to his left hand, and sat down next to Ye Wanyu.

Ye Wanyu had been staring at Shen Bai all the time, and when she saw Gu Hengzhou's maintenance, her face changed slightly.

Since Gu Hengzhou bought a mansion and went out to live, Ye Wanyu can count the number of times he has seen him in the past three years, but fortunately, after Gu Tingge unloaded his armor and returned to the field, he still lived in the Guogong Mansion, and barely let the second room save a little face.

And for Gu Tingge's sake, Ye Wanyu couldn't be too concerned with Gu Hengzhou, she stretched her neck and looked at Shen Bai again, and asked Gu Hengzhou softly: "Xingyuan, this girl is ......"

"A person from the Dongfang family in Nanxiang Country met by chance, and I was ordered to bring her back." Gu Hengzhou said indifferently, Ye Wanyu is just an inner house woman, she doesn't know much about the Dongfang family, and even Nanxiangguo has only heard such a place name, and she doesn't believe what Gu Hengzhou said, and said in a low voice: "How can I look at this girl very much like the disappeared eldest lady of the Shen family?" ”

When Ye Wanyu spoke, the people around her also stopped talking, pricking up their ears to listen to one or two to see who this girl who suddenly appeared was sacred.

Gu Hengzhou didn't squint, and said in a deep voice: "It's not her." ”

The sound is neither high nor low, but it is enough for people to hear, front and back, left and right.

Gu Hengzhou's tone was very firm, and there were faint two points of shock, and everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring.

Regardless of the truth, he said that this girl is from the Dongfang family, so she must be from the Dongfang family, and no one is allowed to question it.

Ye Wanyu was so blocked that she couldn't speak, and after a while, Gu Huaijin and Gu Tingge came together.

Gu Huaijin is also a little older, but his temperament is weaker, and his bookish atmosphere is stronger, like a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune and only the latest academics.

Gu Tingge handed over the military power, wearing the azure gold silk embroidered white tiger costume of the Duke of Zhenguo, he still has a great leadership style with broad shoulders and a shooting star, but he has less killing spirit and more affinity.

Gu Huaijin sat next to Ye Wanyu, Gu Tingge sat at the top of the position, just to the left of Shen Bai, Shen Bai lowered his head, and his heart was so weak that he even restrained his breathing.

I don't know if Gu Hengzhou has seen Gu Tingge since he came back, Gu Tingge didn't show a look of surprise like others when he saw Shen Bai, he just asked calmly: "This is the girl from the Dongfang family?" ”

"Yes."

Gu Hengzhou answered for Shen Bai, Shen Bai knew that it was very rude for him not to speak, so he gritted his teeth and raised his head and said: "The younger generation has seen Zhen Guogong, the younger generation is far away in Nanxiang, and I often hear about the heroic deeds of Zhen Guogong, and I admire Zhen Guogong quite a lot, I didn't expect to see Zhen Guogong with my own eyes today, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”

Shen Bai's mouth was numb, and he said this without ventilation, and he was very flattering.

Gu Tingge looked at her, and after a moment, he smiled: "The girl from the Dongfang family is quite good at talking. ”

Gu Tingge's eyes were bright, and when he laughed, he had a kind of wisdom that saw everything, Shen Bai didn't dare to say more, and said with a dry smile: "Lord Xie Guogong praises." ”

The majesty of Zhenguo Gong was too great, and Shen Bai was even more scared than when he saw Old Man Shen.

After speaking, she didn't know what to say, and with a sudden weight on her shoulders, Gu Hengzhou hugged her shoulders and said to Gu Tingge: "She is timid, dad, don't scare her." ”

Shen Bai: "......"

I'm not, I don't, I can't! Brother Gu, do you want to help me or hurt me?

Gu Tingge didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to say such a thing, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed lowly, and muttered: "Stinky boy." ”

Shen Bai was close and heard this sentence very clearly, and he didn't know why, his face burned all of a sudden.

The dinner soon began, and the officials and their families entered in an orderly manner.

The dinner was set in Huating Palace, similar to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in Shen Bai's memory, everyone sat in the open seat, Huating Palace was royal dependent, and there was a white jade square platform in the middle of the banquet, which could do song and dance performances.

In the past three years, the livelihood of Zhaoling has changed a lot, the treasury has become more and more full, and the meals at the dinner are obviously much more sumptuous than three years ago, and even the plates containing the meals are more exquisite and luxurious, revealing luxury everywhere.

The weather was cold, the palace people served desserts and cold dishes first, just after serving, the eunuch at the door shouted: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the princess and the five princes of Nanxiang Kingdom have arrived~~"

When the words fell, everyone stood up, and Shen Bai hid beside Gu Hengzhou and secretly raised his eyes to look at Zhao Che.

Like the previous life, Zhao Che came slowly in a bright yellow dragon robe, the dragon robe was extremely fitting, three years have passed, the youthfulness on his body has completely retreated, from head to toe is full of the majesty of the Ninety-Five, his eyes are as deep as an eagle's sharp, like an abyss, people can't understand but don't dare to look at him.

Without the restraints of the family, he is indeed more sharp than in the previous life.

Shen Bai only looked at it for a while before retracting his gaze and lowering his head, the events of the previous life had passed, and she didn't want to be the knife in Zhao Che's hand anymore.

However, Shen Bai always thought that it was Dongfang Ying who was waiting for him in Hanjing, but he didn't expect it to be Murong Xuan.

Didn't Dongfang Ying say that Murong Qi's situation was not good, he didn't stay in Nanxiang to share his imperial brother's worries, what did he do in Zhaoling?

Shen Bai was puzzled, Zhao Che had already taken Murong Xuan to his seat.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet of ordinary people is just a good meal for everyone to get together and talk, while the royal Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is not only much grander, but also involves many aspects.

According to the usual practice, Zhao Che spoke first, praying for a smooth wind and rain next year, and then he would affirm and commend the achievements made by the hundred officials this year.

The Ministry of Rites has already been instructed on how to reward, and it will not be read out one by one at today's banquet, but will only be brought out as examples for commendation.

Wu Shouxin is very good as the state capital, Lu Qingqing is heavy, he did not return to Beijing, and Wu Zhongyi received the reward on his behalf, Wu Zhongyi smiled very happily.

Zhou Jue, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, also did a good job, at this time he was still in charge of the guard in the palace, Jiang Qinse got up to receive the reward, and got the order of Mrs. Sanpin, and most of the ladies and ladies present showed envious eyes.

Jiang Qinse is only in her early twenties, this is a fate, what is there to worry about in the second half of her life, no matter when, in front of the family, she can straighten her waist, how can she not be envied?

That's a blessing.

Everyone was talking, Zhao Che called Gu Hengzhou's name, Gu Hengzhou got up and walked to the center and knelt down.

Zhao Che drank some wine, his interest was high, his eyes were amazingly bright, and he said to everyone: "The people of Yuexi have been eyeing Zhaoling for more than ten years, but at the end of autumn this year, Xingyuan used fine as bait to lure the enemy deeper, and severely damaged the enemy in Yuexi. ”

Everyone immediately echoed and praised Gu Hengzhou for his strength, Gu Hengzhou's expression did not change, and there was no change in mood because of these praises.

Zhao Che continued: "Xingyuan is Zhaoling's peerless sword, he has the Gu family's iron bones forged for a hundred years, as long as he is there, Zhaoling will never be harassed by foreign enemies, Xingyuan's merits are limitless, but his temperament has always been indifferent and quiet, I don't know what I can give you, I don't know what Xingyuan wants." ”

Zhao Che's posture was very generous, as if he would give Gu Hengzhou whatever he wanted.

Gu Hengzhou knelt in the center, waited for Zhao Che to finish speaking, without any hesitation, leaned over and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has nothing else to ask for, just want someone from Your Majesty." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately exploded, and those who didn't know were thinking about which girl this Gu Da Commander who was not close to women had a crush on, and those who knew about it all turned their eyes to Shen Bai.

This Miss Shen is really a good skill, in the case of a marriage contract, she disappeared without a sound for three years, and now when she comes back, she can still fascinate Gu Hengzhou.

Zhao Che was also a little surprised, but quickly turned to joy, and said with a smile: "Xingyuan is already twenty-two years old, and he has never married a wife, presumably Lord Guogong is also very anxious, today it is rare for you to take the initiative to ask me about someone, I definitely have no reason not to be perfect, let's say, I also want to see which girl it is." ”

Gu Hengzhou said bluntly: "A few months ago, Wechen tracked down the more detailed work to Quzhou, and mistakenly took a girl back to the camp as an accomplice, in order to prevent this girl from playing tricks, she has been eating and living with Wechen in the camp for several months, and after verification, this girl is not a fine work, but a person from the Dongfang family, the first family of Nanxiang Kingdom, before returning to Beijing, Weichen had been drunk and lightened this girl, and was willing to be responsible for this girl!" ”

The amount of information in this remark is a bit huge, take care of what Hengzhou said, not only eat and live together for two days, but also have skin to skin, how can there be any reason not to be together?

"I wonder where that girl is now?"

Zhao Che asked curiously, because the ladies who came to the banquet today were all dressed up very ceremoniously, Shen Bai's body looked much more casual, and the sense of presence was even lower when sitting between Gu Hengzhou and Gu Tingge.

After Zhao Che asked, Murong Xuan immediately spoke, pretending to be serious: "Iris, don't come out to see Your Majesty soon." ”

Kites? Is this the new name they gave her?

Shen Baihu was suspicious, got up and knelt down next to Gu Hengzhou, and said obediently: "Iris, I want to see Your Majesty." ”

After Sun Yuehai returned to the palace, he vaguely mentioned to Zhao Che that the girl brought back by Gu Hengzhou was very similar to Shen Bai, but for the sake of insurance, he only said that it was like, but he didn't say that it was exactly the same.

So at this moment, Zhao Che saw Shen Bai's face clearly, and the impact was not small.

How can it not be surprising that a person who has not heard from him for three years suddenly appears in front of him at this time?

Where has she been in the past three years, what has she been through, and why is she suddenly here now?

Countless questions poured in, Zhao Che looked at Shen Bai directly, and only asked one sentence for a while: "What's your name?" ”

Before Shen Bai could speak, Murong Xuan preemptively said: "Her name is Dongfang Kirling, she is the eldest lady of the Dongfang family of the first family in Nanxiang, she has not appeared outside due to illness before, Kite has grown up with me since she was a child, and she is like a brother and sister, this time she mistakenly entered Zhaoling and caused trouble to Commander Gu, I am really sorry." ”

After Murong Lin passed away, Murong Qi took over the throne, there were too many things, and many times he had to rely on Murong Xuan to help solve it, and Murong Xuan was much calmer than three years ago.

It's quite bluffing to talk like this at this time.

Zhao Che looked away from Shen Bai with difficulty, looked at Murong Xuan and asked, "Are you sure her name is Dongfang Kite Ling?" ”

This person clearly looks exactly the same as Shen Bai, how could he have grown up in Nanxiang?

The other people who attended the dinner also had different expressions, and they didn't believe that this woman was not Shen Bai, but someone from the Dongfang family of Nanxiang Kingdom, how could there be two people who were so similar in this world?

Murong Xuan nodded and said gently, "Of course I'm sure." ”

Zhao Che seized the loophole and asked Murong Xuan: "Four years ago, His Royal Highness the Fifth also came to Zhaoling, why didn't you say that there was a girl in Nanxiang Kingdom who looked exactly like the prime minister's daughter?" ”

Murong Xuan was calm and said calmly: "Because I've been treating her sick, I also played with her a few times when I was a child, and then she was sick and couldn't go out, so I had a lot fewer opportunities to meet her." I didn't know that she was born so slim, and when I saw her again after returning to Nanxiang, I was also shocked. ”

Zhao Che still didn't believe it, Murong Xuan opened his mouth and said: "I know that Kite and Shen Bai look alike, but she is indeed from the Dongfang family, I have given enough evidence to confirm her identity this time, and there is a bell-shaped birthmark on her left arm, if Your Majesty does not believe it, you can let the imperial doctor check it." ”

Birthmark? Home

Shen Bai didn't know that there was such a thing, anyway, she didn't have this thing when she was in Zhaoling, if there was really that thing now, it should be Dongfang Ying's ghost.

In the past three years, the business exchanges between Zhaoling and Nanxiang have become closer and closer, Zhao Che still has to give Murong Xuan a little face, and after being silent for a while to sort out his emotions, Zhao Che said easily: "It turns out that it is really an Oriental girl, and it has made the Oriental girl feel wronged in the past few months." ”

Shen Bai said kindly: "Kite is not wronged, Commander Gu did not treat Kite harshly, it was Kite himself who accidentally caused a misunderstanding, and please Your Majesty be magnanimous and don't be like Kite in general." ”

This is to confirm Shen Bai's identity, Zhao Che stared at her for a long time, let Shen Bai return to his seat and sit down first, Murong Xuan looked at Gu Hengzhou and asked: "Commander Gu just said that he has been eating and living with Kite for the past few months, and he is drunk and light, is this serious?" ”

Gu Hengzhou nodded and said, "The Oriental girl is similar to Wechen's fiancée Shen Bai, and Wechen can't help himself for a while, and he will definitely be responsible for the Dongfang girl." ”

Gu Hengzhou's words were really not concealed at all, and they were strange and imaginative.

Shen Bai couldn't control the heat on his face, and Murong Xuan asked faintly: "Commander Gu wants to marry Kite Er when he says this?" ”

Gu Hengzhou did not hesitate and said firmly: "I am willing to take the Great Commander's Mansion as an appointment, marry her as a wife, and protect her for the rest of her life." ”

There are a lot of enviable loves in the book, but more of them are love-hate entanglements between infatuated men and women, such as Gu Hengzhou, who promises to marry a wife in front of everyone, which is very rare in the history of Zhaoling Kingdom.

Jiang Qinse, who had just won the fate, was suddenly robbed of the limelight, although the fateful was good, but compared with a warm, considerate and domineering husband, the difference was more than 108,000 miles?

The hearts of the noble ladies and the young ladies who had not yet left the pavilion were bubbling with sourness, and Murong Xuan wanted to say something more, Zhao Che suddenly said: "This matter is very important, it is not a personal grudge between Xingyuan and the Oriental girl, but also a marriage between the two countries, and it needs to be considered in the long run." ”

This is also reasonable, and the other courtiers immediately seconded it, and the matter was temporarily shelved, and Zhao Che asked Gu Hengzhou to return to his seat and sit down first, and the matter of the reward was not mentioned for the time being.

Because of this play, Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai attracted everyone's attention during the whole banquet, and they didn't even watch the song and dance performance carefully rehearsed by the Music Bureau.

After the dinner, the others went out of the palace in turn to go home, and Zhao Che summoned Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou to the imperial study.

Shen Bai hasn't entered the imperial study for more than three years, the imperial study has not changed much from his memory, the weather is cold, the doors and windows are closed, and the ground is covered with a fluffy blanket, which is soft and silent when stepped on.

I didn't expect Zhao Che to have to deal with official business today, and there was no brazier burning in the imperial study, which was quite cold.

After entering the house, Zhao Che asked Sun Yuehai to retreat, and asked the Praetorian Guards outside to stay away, leaving only Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou inside.

Zhao Che looked at Shen Bai with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "There are only three of us here, let me ask again, are you really the Oriental Kite Spirit?" ”

This has already been said in front of hundreds of officials, and if he retorts at this time, it will be a crime of deception.

Shen Bai was a little hesitant, and Zhao Che immediately added: "You tell the truth, I can forgive you for the crime of deceiving the king." ”

After Zhao Che finished speaking, he looked at Shen Bai fixedly, his eyes were deep, and there were rich emotions that could not be distinguished.

Shen Bai's heart sank, and he blinked his eyes and said innocently: "I am really the Oriental Kite Spirit, and the fifth brother has already said it, how can Your Majesty still ask like this?" ”

Zhao Che pursed his lips, his face sank like water, his cheeks were puffed out, as if he was trying his best to restrain his anger, Shen Bai knew that this was a precursor to his anger, but he still continued the previous scene, and asked innocently: "Do I really look so similar to the person named Shen Bai?" I'm so surprised to all of you. ”

Shen Bai is used to acting, and there is no abnormality on his face, Zhao Che looked at Gu Hengzhou again, and asked in a deep voice: "Xingyuan, are you sure that she is the Oriental Kite Spirit?" ”

Gu Hengzhou bowed and said word by word: "Weichen is sure." ”

The tone in which he said this was similar to the tone that shocked others before the banquet began, and no matter what the truth was, he had already decided that Shen Bai was the ghost of the East.

He decided that no one was allowed to change it.

Zhao Che's fist hanging in his sleeve was clenched tightly, and there was no way to vent the anger in his heart, he stared at Gu Hengzhou for a long time, and said loudly: "Since the Dongfang girl is a member of the Dongfang family, she lives in the Great Commander's Mansion and is not a system, so she lives in the palace with the five princes for the time being, as for the marriage, I will talk about it in the future, come on, send the Dongfang girl to Nanchen Palace!" ”

Sun Yuehai, who had been waiting outside, quickly came in, Shen Bai bowed and retreated, and went to Nanchen Palace with Sun Yuehai.

The imperial study fell into silence again, Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou looked at each other, one gentleman and one minister, all silently released a majestic coercion and collided in the air, and even the candle flame in the room shook uneasily.

Gu Hengzhou didn't mean to let Zhao Che, the aura of the two was comparable, after a long time, Zhao Che opened his mouth in a deep voice and asked, "Do you really want her?" ”

Gu Hengzhou's eyes were bright, and he said unswervingly: "Only her, there is nothing else to ask for." ”

"She said she wasn't Shen Bai." Zhao Che reminded, approached Gu Hengzhou, and said with anger and almost resentment, "Is it because of this face that you are despicable enough to treat her as a substitute?" ”

Zhao Che didn't know how he could be so angry, he hadn't seen Shen Bai for three years, and he had to deal with so many official duties every day from morning to night, he almost forgot about this person.

At this time, she appeared in front of him again without any warning, he didn't even have a chance to say hello, Gu Hengzhou wanted to marry her in front of so many people, and snuffed out all the emotions in his heart that had not had time to recover in the cradle.

Gu Hengzhou didn't argue with Zhao Che about anything, took a step back, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, and said firmly: "Please fulfill Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Che looked at the top of Gu Hengzhou's head, and his throat was blocked in one breath.

It's been three years, why is this person still so stubborn and only wants her?

Zhao Che couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in now, and asked insincerely: "Shen Bai can disappear without saying a word for three years, without any news at all, aren't you afraid that she will be like this?" ”

"No, it won't."

Gu Hengzhou replied firmly, he made her disappear from his eyes once, and he would never let this kind of thing happen a second time.

The atmosphere became a little tense, Zhao Che glared at Gu Hengzhou and asked, "At the banquet just now, did you deliberately say that you and she ate and lived together in the camp in the north of the town?" ”

"Yes."

Gu Hengzhou made no secret of it, from the moment he saw Shen Bai bring her into Zhenbei Ying, he was blatantly declaring his possession of her.

He wanted her, as long as she was, and that was something the whole world could know.

Zhao Che pursed his lips and was silent for a long time, Gu Hengzhou said: "Your Majesty, the person standing in front of you now is Dongfang Kite Ling, you should be the person named Shen Bai, who is already dead." ”

Nanchen Palace is a little far away from the imperial study, Shen Bai followed Sun Yuehai for half an hour before arriving, the palace was brightly lit, no one had slept yet, and at a glance, he knew that he was waiting for Shen Bai.

Sun Yuehai sent Shen Bai to Murong Xuan, said a few polite words before leaving, Murong Xuan asked the palace people to prepare food for Shen Bai to make supper, and took out a small box made of sandalwood and handed it to Shen Bai.

The box looked very exquisite, Murong Xuan raised his eyebrows and motioned for Shen Bai to open it, and Shen Bai opened the box, which contained a box full of black pills the size of soybeans.

The familiar smell of medicine was tangy, and Murong Xuan said: "You are not in good health, you can't run around, you can take these medicines yourself, remember to bring a few pills with you, drink one when you are not feeling well, don't hold on." ”

And Gong E looked at it, Shen Bai didn't want to ask anything, hooked his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Thank you, fifth brother." ”

Murong Xuan was amused by her pretending appearance, reached out and rubbed her head, then pinched her cheek again, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months, why have you gained so much weight?" If you get a little fatter, you'll become a pig. ”

Shen Bai slapped Murong Xuan's paws away, glanced at him angrily, and said deliberately: "I'm not in good health, it's hard to grow some meat, if Aunt Yunshang is here, I don't know how happy I will be, so I won't say that I am a pig." ”

Shen Bai deliberately mentioned Yunshang, wanting to see what the situation was now, Murong Xuan said meaninglessly: "Aunt Yunshang naturally has her own things to do, this time only I came to Zhaoling, if that Commander Gu really has to marry you, the only person who sent you to marry is me." ”

So now he is really the only one in Zhaoling? What about Oriental Shadow?

Shen Bai couldn't figure it out, Murong Xuan ate something with her, and asked Gong'e to wait for her to bathe and sleep.

Shen Bai lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and he still couldn't hold back until the second half of the night, and sneaked out and slipped into Murong Xuan's bedroom.

Murong Xuan slept soundly, and Shen Bai pinched his nose and tossed for a long time before waking him up.

Suddenly seeing someone in the room, Murong Xuan was startled, Shen Bai quickly covered his mouth, lowered his voice and said, "Don't scream, it's me." ”

Murong Xuan pulled down Shen Bai's hand and asked angrily, "You don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?" ”

"This is not Nanxiang, why are you still not alert at all, aren't you afraid that someone will harm you?"

"Zhaoling and Nanxiang have such a good relationship, who dares to harm me?" Murong Xuan rolled his eyes, Shen Bai didn't talk nonsense with him, got to the point, looked at him and asked, "What is the situation now, how did I become an Oriental Kite?" Since you know that I am in Zhaoling, why don't you go directly to Yuanfeng County and bring me back, and wait for me to come back with Gu Hengzhou? ”

Shen Bai's questions poured out one after another, Murong Xuan yawned, and said lazily: "It's okay to ask these questions tomorrow, why do you have to come in the middle of the night and trap me." ”

"I'm guilty of deceitful by you now, if I don't come to ask at night, do you dare to ask in front of others?" Shen Bai pinched Murong Xuan's body and said in a low voice: "Say it quickly, otherwise I won't let you sleep tonight!" ”

Murong Xuan was very sleepy, and quickly told him everything he knew.

Not long after she and Dongfang Ying left Yiling, Dongfang Qing discussed with Murong Qi and asked Murong Xuan to come to Zhaoling, obviously expecting that Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou would meet.

Dongfang Qing gave Shen Bai a new identity, and Murong Qi directly posted a notice in Nanxiang, telling the world that there was still an eldest lady in the Dongfang family who rarely appeared due to illness.

No matter how Zhaoling sent someone to inquire about it, Shen Bai's identity would not be revealed.

Murong Xuan was instructed to pick up people in Nanxiang, and he didn't know anything else, so he only told Shen Bai that she could live with the identity of Dongfang Kite with peace of mind.

Seeing Murong Xuan's meaning, Dongfang Qing and the others even expected that Gu Hengzhou would find a way to keep her in Zhaoling, and they didn't insist that Murong Xuan take her back to Nanxiang.

After hearing this, Shen Bai subconsciously touched his wrist.

It was empty, and there was no soul bell anymore.

It also means that her bond with the Dongfang family has ended, and there is no need for her to go back to the Dongfang family.

In the past three years, Yun Sheng and the people of the Dongfang family tried all their best to make Shen Bai recover, and the box of medicine given by Murong Xuan should not be a panacea that could cure her.

Shen Bai had a bad conjecture in his heart.

Could it be that they knew that she had reached the point where she had no doctor, and the people of the Dongfang family deliberately let her go back to Zhaoling with a different identity in order to make her happy before she died?

Then when the box of medicine is finished, won't she be going to die?

That box of medicine was only about a hundred pills at most, and if she took one pill a day, wouldn't she only have more than three months left.

The more Shen Bai thought about it, the more serious his expression became, and Murong Xuan said that he didn't hear her answer later, patted her on the head, and asked, "What are you talking about, are you listening to me well?" ”

"I'm going to die, and you still send me back, it's too lacking in virtue." Shen Bai covered his head and muttered, Murong Xuan looked inexplicable: "Who said you were going to die?" ”

Shen Bai was straightforward and said: "I have been going to die for the past three years, and now that I have returned to Zhaoling, you only give me a box of medicine, doesn't it mean that I will die after eating that box of medicine?" ”

"Okay, you've been paralyzed and motionless for the past three years and haven't died, and now you can't jump and even more so you won't die." Murong Xuan gave Shen Bai a roll of his eyes, and Shen Bai immediately asked, "Then I can get better after taking this box of medicine?" ”

"I don't know about this, before leaving, Uncle Dongfang said that all opportunities are predestined, and many times it is not good to think too much, it is better to do whatever you want, maybe there will be unexpected joy."

Murong Xuan deliberately said that it was unfathomable, and Shen Bai couldn't ask anything if he wanted to ask again, so he could only go back to his room to sleep.

Without Gu Hengzhou by his side, Shen Bai didn't sleep well, and woke up early the next morning, and as soon as he finished washing, someone from the palace came to report, saying that Commander Gu invited the Oriental girl to go to the city to play together.

Gu Hengzhou only invited Shen Bai, but Murong Xuan followed with a shy face.

After the two of them packed up and left the palace, they saw the carriage of the Gu Mansion parked outside the palace gate from a distance, Gu Hengzhou was wearing a dark embroidered bird brocade and riding a jujube horse standing next to the carriage, his posture was outstanding, handsome as a star, so that people couldn't take their eyes off.

"Hey, this little trick is far worse than this prince." Murong Xuan muttered in a low voice, walked over with Shen Bai, and didn't wait for Gu Hengzhou to speak first, "Kite'er is timid, she will be afraid to stay with strangers, I have to accompany her." ”
