Zhao didn't dare to respond, and everyone looked at Shen Bai, but they didn't expect her to pull the topic back.

Shen Bai had almost eaten, took a sip of hot tea to relieve his greasyness, looked at Zhao with his chin propped up, and waited leisurely for her to respond.

Zhao couldn't, looked at Jiang Qinse for help, Jiang Qinse glanced at Zhao, and wanted to scold Zhao for bad things, but he couldn't scold him in front of so many people, so he could only endure his anger and said: "There are too many guests who come to the house today, and the doorkeepers have been sent out to welcome and send off guests, I don't know which doorkeeper Mrs. Li is talking about, and I also ask the Oriental girl to give me a face, can I talk about this matter another day?" ”

"Mrs. Zhou is right." Shen Bai nodded and said, Jiang Qinse smiled, and was about to say something more to ease the atmosphere, Shen Bai stretched his waist and said, "But it's not easy for me to go out of the palace, I happen to be idle today, I can wait until the banquet is over, if Mrs. Zhou is too busy, I can go directly to Commander Zhou, Commander Zhou is even at ease with the dispatch of the Praetorian Guards in the entire palace, and it should be easier to manage the subordinates in the palace." ”

The corners of Jiang Qinse's raised lips froze, she didn't plan to let Zhou Jue know about this, and the Zhao family was also panicked, these are all things that the women in the back house said when they were bored, how could they let their own lords know?

Shen Bai's unrelenting attitude let the Zhao family know that things can't be good, and he can't count on Jiang Qinse, Zhao gritted his teeth, let go, and pointed at Shen Bai and complained: "The Oriental girl is a distinguished guest of Zhaoling, and it is good to have a relationship with the sixth princess, even if the final confrontation result comes out, there will be no punishment, you embarrass me like this, it is nothing more than trying to use your position of power to suppress me." ”

The Zhao family made a preemptive move, and after speaking, his eyes were red, and he looked like Shen Bai was domineering, how could he bully her.

Jiang Qinse's eyes flashed slightly, and then said softly: "The Oriental girl has an excellent character, and she has won the love of Commander Gu and His Majesty, this kind of ability can't find a second one in the entire Han Kyoto, if you really feel wronged, it is better to directly let Your Majesty or Commander Gu help you make the decision, and avoid the trouble of going to the door guard to confront you." ”

Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che are both the coveted lovers of the nobles in Beijing, even if Shen Bai harvested Gu Hengzhou, it also fell into Zhao Che's eyes, Jiang Qinse's words pushed Shen Bai to the opposite side of these family ladies and nobles.

Jiang Qinse did not say as bluntly as Zhao that Shen Bai used his power to oppress people, but implied that Shen Bai could use Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che's liking to reverse black and white.

Shen Bai looked at Jiang Qinse with an innocent face, and said earnestly: "How can this matter be fair, I have nothing to be wronged about, but now it is about the reputation of the sixth princess, and I want to prove the innocence of the sixth princess. ”

Shen Bai took himself out, this matter has little to do with her, even if Zhao Che wants to call the shots, it is for Zhao Mingxi, and it can't be counted on Shen Bai's head.

Jiang Qinse's hat couldn't be buckled steadily, his expression was a little untensed, Shen Bai didn't pierce it, and looked at Zhao Shi urging: "What does this lady think?" Do you want to stay and confront me after the feast? ”

With so many pairs of eyes watching, if Zhao didn't agree, it would be a weak heart, but if he did, Zhao didn't know what would happen next.

was hesitating, Zhao Mingyi said beside him: "Xi'er is about to meet Xuan, and she hasn't discussed marriage yet, if it is rumored that she is a princess and a person in a ready-to-wear shop, it will have a great impact on her reputation, and this princess, as an elder sister, should also make decisions for her and see what misunderstandings there are." ”

Zhao Mingyi did not stand in line, but he was obviously on the same side as Shen Bai.

The Zhao family still couldn't make up her mind, so Jiang Qinse spoke for her and said, "Since the fifth princess also cares about the truth of this matter, please ask Mrs. Li to stay for a while and figure things out." ”

Jiang Qinse said so, and Zhao had no choice but to say: "The courtiers obey the order." ”

When this kind of thing happened at the banquet, everyone was a little lacking in interest, and they wanted to see what the end of the matter would be, but they had no excuse to stay, and they were worried that there was a problem with the spices at home, and after eating, everyone left one after another.

There are not many relatives in the Zhou Mansion, but there are a lot of people from the Jiang family, Jiang Qinse has been talking to them, Shen Bai and Zhao Mingyi have not urged, only the Zhao family is sitting here.

It wasn't until the evening that Jiang Qinse sent all the guests away, Zhou Jue and Zhou Deshan went to the Guogong Mansion with Gu Hengzhou, there was no one else in the house, Jiang Qinse summoned all the subordinates to the hall and stood in several rows.

The concierge of the Zhou Mansion is not fixed, but on duty, Jiang Qinse asked around, and the two concierges who were on duty that day when Zhao came to visit happened to be absent.

One is said to have been infected with wind and cold and recuperated at home, while the other went back to his hometown to mourn.

If the witness is not there, there is no way to confront each other, Zhao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, Shen Bai said softly: "There is really no way for the concierge to be absent, but doesn't Mrs. Li have a groom, your groom always remembers what happened that day, right?" It's better to ask him to come in and confront me to see if he has seen the sixth princess. ”

Zhao choked on his throat in one breath and couldn't go up or down, he didn't understand why Shen Bai was so persistent, he had to find someone to confront him.

Jiang Qinse couldn't figure out what Shen Bai wanted to do, the two exchanged a look, and after a while, Zhao couldn't bear it, knelt in front of Shen Bai and Zhao Mingyi, and said loudly: "The courtiers are guilty, the sixth princess only met with the courtiers before, because she felt that the clothes in the garment shop were very beautiful, so she said a few words to the courtiers, and the owner of the garment shop was not very familiar, and the reason why the courtiers said this today was to take the opportunity to attract the attention of others and shake off the spices." ”

After Zhao finished speaking, he slammed his head on the ground, not knowing whether he was wronged or angry, his tone was full of resentment, his voice trembled a little, and said: "The courtiers regret the child who has never been born in their womb, and they know that the matter of spices involves business and trade between the two countries, lest Jing Zhaoyin turn big things into small things for the sake of peace between the two countries, and it will be like this for a while, please forgive the five princesses!" ”

Zhao changed his words, reversed his previous confession, and used the loss of the child as a shield.

Zhao Mingyi frowned when she heard this, although she felt that it was not good for the Zhao family to act like this, and she still said magnanimously for the sake of her no child: "This princess can understand your grief, but you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds, Xi'er is simple and not very old, you can discredit the impression of others on her with a casual sentence, which is too unfair to her." ”

"The courtiers are guilty."

After Zhao finished speaking, he cried bitterly, Zhao Mingyi couldn't bear to hear it, stretched out his hand to help her up, and was about to comfort her, Shen Bai said faintly: "The sixth princess is simple and innocent, Madame changed her mind and admitted her mistake, and this matter is over, but the business and trade between Zhaoling and Nanxiang was reconnected by the efforts of the first emperor and His Majesty and hundreds of people. ”

Zhaoling and Nanxiang have only been re-communicating with each other for three years, and Zhaoling's treasury has increased a lot compared to before, if it is cut off, the relationship between the two countries will be deadlocked, not to mention, Zhao Che will be the same as Emperor Hengde back then, he will be hollowed out by the power of the family, and he can't let go of anything he does.

Shen Bai's words were a bit heavy, Zhao didn't know how to deal with it, so he simply sprinkled it, crying bitterly without any image, and shouted loudly: "The courtier is just an ordinary woman in the house, with a narrow vision and no great knowledge, the child in the womb is my life, and now that the child is gone, I don't know if I can get pregnant again, who can I still keep calm when this thing falls?" ”

With a narrow vision, Zhao shirked all the responsibility.

Shen Bai had also seen this kind of shrew in the market in his previous life, they had no concept of face, and in order to protect their own interests, they could do anything.

Zhao Mingyi was originally supporting Zhao, seeing her crying like this, he subconsciously let go and stayed away from her, Shen Bai looked at Zhao calmly, and said lightly: "I don't say this to blame Madame, just to remind Madame that there is a saying that disaster comes from the mouth, even if it is sometimes an unintentional mistake, if the consequences are too serious, there will be big problems." ”

Shen Bai's words meant something, and Zhao's cry paused, and then let go of his throat and howled.

didn't want to see her spill, Shen Bai and Zhao Mingyi left together.

After getting in the car, Zhao Mingyi didn't speak, she thought about what happened at today's banquet over and over again, and couldn't help but look at Shen Bai and said, "Why do I think you are a little deliberately targeting Mrs. Li today?" ”

"Why did the princess say that?"

Shen Bai asked gently, and Zhao Mingyi was about to cite his own basis, when the carriage suddenly stopped, and the groom tightened the horse's reins too tightly, and the horses neighed.

The carriage shook violently, Shen Bai and Zhao Mingyi fell into a ball, and before they could react, Shen Bai happened, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and two people with their faces covered appeared in the carriage.

The two masked men were very surprised, they probably didn't expect that there would be two people in the carriage, and Shen Bai didn't expect that someone would dare to rob the princess's carriage in Hanjing.

The four pairs of eyes looked at each other, and after a while, Shen Bai and Zhao Mingyi chose to raise their legs and kick at the man in black at the same time.

The two of them moved in unison, and Zhao Mingyi's strength was actually stronger than Shen Bai's, and he directly kicked the man in black to the ground.

Shen Bai hadn't fought with someone so close for a long time, and kicked on the chest of the man in black, the man shook, but instead of rolling over, he grabbed Shen Bai's feet and necks and tried to drag Shen Bai out of the carriage.

"Bold!"

Zhao Mingyi shouted and pounced on the man in black, and the man in black pulled out the dagger in his shoes, and the cold light appeared.

"Be careful!"

Shen Bai shouted and hugged Zhao Mingyi's waist, this posture was not quite right, Shen Bai heard a clicking sound from his back, and his waist twisted.

Zhao Mingyi was hugged by Shen Bai and fell back into the carriage, and at the same time, a royal blue figure jumped onto the carriage and kicked the man in black away, the man in black fell to the ground, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, and was restrained by the guards who rushed to the neck with a knife.

Gu Hengzhou got into the carriage and pulled Zhao Mingyi aside, seeing Shen Bai's brows furrowed, he asked with a calm face, "Where is the injury?" ”

Shen Bai held his waist and said uncertainly: "It seems that his waist has flashed." ”

Gu Hengzhou stretched out his hand and pressed it on Shen Bai's waist, and Shen Bai immediately exclaimed bitterly: "It hurts, it hurts." ”

Gu Hengzhou's face was ugly, he withdrew his hand and said, "It shouldn't hurt the bones, you have to use medicinal wine to do massage." ”

After Gu Hengzhou finished speaking, he picked up Shen Bai, and Zhao Mingyi saw that he was about to be left behind, so he couldn't help but ask: "Commander Gu, what about me?" You're not going to let me drive back to the palace by myself, are you? ”

Murong Xuan jumped into the carriage, picked up the horsewhip and said lazily: "Don't worry, Her Royal Highness the princess is not holding my sister back, I will send Her Royal Highness the princess back to the palace." ”

"Is that you?" Zhao Mingyi glared at Murong Xuan, and didn't want him to send him home, turned his head and saw Zhou Jue coming over with the people from the Night Patrol Division, Zhou Jue said in a deep voice: "The subordinates are late, so that Her Royal Highness the princess is frightened." ”

Zhao Mingyi still trusted Zhou Jue, glanced at Murong Xuan again, and said reservedly: "Thanks to Commander Zhou's arrival, this princess and the Oriental girl can be fine, and Commander Lao Zhou escorted me back to the palace." ”

Zhou Jue said: "The subordinates want to escort these two people to Dali Temple for interrogation, so they can only ask the Fifth Highness to escort Her Royal Highness the princess back to the palace." ”

"Okay." Zhao Mingyi was reasonable, and thanked Zhou Jue, "Hard work Zhou is in charge." "Let's pick up the book

After Zhao Mingyi finished speaking, he sat back in the carriage, Murong Xuan lifted the curtain, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I also help you drive the carriage, why don't you say that you work hard for me?" ”

Zhao Mingyi glanced at him and said angrily: "You don't want to drive the carriage to go down." ”

It's not like anyone has to ask you to drive.

"Hey, the shelf is so big, no wonder no man likes it."

Murong Xuan muttered, put down the curtain and drove obediently, Zhao Mingyi grimaced at the curtain and responded in a low voice: "You can't marry a lady so much, and you won't be much better." ”

Murong Xuan and Zhou Jue escorted Zhao Mingyi back to the palace, while Gu Hengzhou carried Shen Bai in the direction of the Great Commander's Mansion.

Gu Hengzhou's aura around him was cold and angry, Shen Bai was a little weak-hearted, and whispered: "Brother Gu, this place is still far from the Guogong Mansion, why don't you let me down and go by myself." ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't let go, lowered his eyes and stared at Shen Bai coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "What did I tell you before?" ”

Shen Bai knew that he was angry because he sprained his waist, and couldn't help but defend himself: "It's not that I want to rush up myself, it's those two men in black who came to the door, and I can't guard against it." ”

Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips without saying a word, his jaw was stretched into a straight line, which was really frightening, Shen Bai stiffened for a while, pulled his sleeve and said: "Brother Gu, I was wrong, if I encounter this situation in the future, I will definitely hide well, and then desperately call for help, okay?" ”

Gu Hengzhou hugged Shen Bai tightly and said for a while: "Not in the future." ”

Shen Bai didn't hear it too clearly, and subconsciously asked, "What?" ”

Gu Hengzhou stopped, looked down into her eyes and said, "In the future, I won't let you face such danger alone." ”

Shen Bai's face became hot all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to look directly into Gu Hengzhou's eyes, and after a while, he said stupidly: "I won't ...... tonight I'm not alone. ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't speak again, and went back to the Great Commander's Mansion with Shen Bai in his arms, Gu San and Gu Si quickly sent hot water and medicinal wine and then retreated, Shen Bai was still immersed in the joy of being able to share the bed with Gu Hengzhou tonight, and Gu Hengzhou's cold voice came from his ears: "Do you take it off yourself or will I come?" ”

Shen Bai was startled for a moment, and said tentatively: "Brother Gu, why don't I come by myself, I just twisted my waist, my hands and feet are still fine, and you are tired today......

Before Shen Bai finished speaking, Gu Hengzhou leaned over and pressed her shoulders to help her undress.

"Brother Gu, don't be like this." Shen Bai shouted, hurriedly blocking it, Gu Hengzhou directly grabbed her hand and pressed it on the top of her head, the belt was quickly removed, and then the coat.

After the beginning of spring, the weather gradually warmed up, Shen Bai didn't have a few clothes on her, and seeing that she was about to be taken off, Shen Bai screamed, and she didn't know that she thought that Gu Hengzhou was going to force her to do something.

Gu Hengzhou stopped, looking at her with cold eyes, as if he wanted to cut a layer of skin from her: "Just resist my touch like this?" ”

Shen Bai shook his head vigorously and whispered, "Brother Gu, I just haven't done this kind of thing for too long, and I feel embarrassed." ”

She's as thick as a city wall, and when she's embarrassed?

This reason was not convincing enough, Gu Hengzhou stared at her and said, "Give you a chance to make up a more credible reason." ”

Shen Bai said with a bitter face: "Brother Gu, what I said is true, although we are about to get married, but I am a girl's family, I am really panicked when I light the lamp like this, why don't you turn off the light first?" ”

Gu Hengzhou did not accept this proposal, and acquiesced in Shen Bai using this opportunity, plus one leg pressed her to prevent her from moving, so as not to sprain her waist again, strip off her clothes, and then pause.

I haven't seen her for three years, Shen Bai's facial features have not only grown, but her body has also grown a lot, because she has been in bed all year round to recuperate, her body is whiter, and she has raised some meat over time, which is even softer.

However, on the left side of her chest, where it was hidden by the crimson belly pocket, there was a looming wound.

The location of the wound was quite awkward, Gu Hengzhou's eyes were focused on that place, Shen Bai's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered, "Brother Gu, don't ...... Don't look at me. ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't listen to it at all, and opened his belly pocket a little, and the wound was completely revealed.

The whole wound should be two inches long, and after three years of recuperation, the wound has become a little powdery, but it still looks very hideous, the wound is facing the heart, if Gu Hengzhou is not mistaken, the original sword should have pierced her heart directly.

She pretended to be shy and weak, all so that he would not see the wound.

The wound was particularly eye-catching on a piece of soft white, Gu Hengzhou couldn't help but poke it with his hand, Shen Bai snorted, even his neck was red, and he said eagerly: "Brother Gu, the sage said, don't look at incivility, don't touch incivility, don't mess around." ”

The rough fingertips rubbed back and forth on the scar, Gu Hengzhou withdrew his hand and asked in a dumb voice, "Was you stabbed by me when you were in Donghengguo?" ”

He already has the memory of two lives, and naturally he also remembers the battle to the death in the underground palace of Dongheng Kingdom.

Shen Bai was afraid that he would feel guilty, and immediately said unconcernedly: "It can't be regarded as Brother Gu's stabbing you, at that time, you were swallowed by an evil spirit, and you couldn't control your behavior at all, it was that evil spirit who put on Brother Gu's skin and wanted to distract me, and this injury had already healed, and it was not in the way." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he forced himself to look directly into Gu Hengzhou's eyes, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Gu, do you think this scar is ugly and dislike me?" ”

Shen Bai wanted to change the topic, but Gu Hengzhou was unmoved, and asked keenly: "Is your heart disease because of this?" ”

When Gu Hengzhou asked this, he kept looking at Shen Bai directly, his eyes were amazingly bright, Shen Bai couldn't lie to him, he could only say vaguely: "It has something to do with it." ”

Shen Bai didn't want to say it too seriously, but Gu Hengzhou's intuition was too keen, and he continued to ask: "You have been in Nanxiang for three years, not to recuperate, but actually to recuperate?" ”

Shen Bai was speechless, Gu Hengzhou frowned, his expression was stained with pain, as if the injured person was actually him.

With a pain in his heart, Shen Bai took the initiative to hug Gu Hengzhou's neck, buried it in his neck and whispered: "Brother Gu, it's all over, the wound has long been gone, and I'm fine now, jumping around." ”

Shen Bai's tone was brisk, but Gu Hengzhou knew that she was not jumping around.

She now has a heart disease, and once she gets sick, she will be in pain, and she can't jump up and down like before, and her strength is not even as great as Zhao Mingyi, a pampered princess.

Her physical condition is far worse than before.

Gu Hengzhou hugged Shen Bai tightly, and only said after a long time: "It's not too early, take a bath first and then apply the medicine." ”

Shen Bai tried to apply to wash it herself, but was ruthlessly rejected by Gu Hengzhou, she was like a cooked shrimp, she was scrubbed and cleaned by Gu Hengzhou over and over again, and then thrown on the bed to smear the medicinal wine.

Gu Hengzhou was quite experienced in dealing with this kind of bruises, so he first rubbed the medicinal wine with his palm before putting it on Shen Bai's waist.

His palms were so hot that the skin on Shen Bai's waist shrank, and the bottom of his heart seemed to have been brushed by a gentle feather, and it was tingling and itchy.

Her face was burning all the time, her whole body was hot, she didn't dare to look at Gu Hengzhou, she could only bury her head in the pillow and pretend to be quails, I don't know how long it took, Gu Hengzhou finally stopped, Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the quilt and rolled to the corner of the bed and shrunk into a ball.

Gu Hengzhou pulled the quilt and pulled her head out, and said like a child: "Don't cover your head, it will be boring." Then he said, "I'll go wash up, and if you're sleepy, go to sleep." ”

Shen Bai shrunk in the quilt and nodded obediently, Gu Hengzhou got up and went out, and a quarter of an hour later, he came back with a body of moisture, and saw that Shen Bai's eyes were still wide open, and asked, "Can't sleep?" ”

Shen Bai shook his head and said happily, "Waiting for you." ”

Gu Hengzhou came out of the closet with another quilt and lay down beside Shen Bai.

When they were in the barracks, the two of them also slept in the same bed, but tonight Shen Bai felt that his heart was beating very fast, and his brain was messed up, and he didn't know what to say.

After lying down for a while, Gu Hengzhou suddenly asked, "At that time, why did you go to deliver the surrender book?" ”

No matter how defeated Zhaoling is, he won't even be able to find someone who sent a letter of surrender.

Gu Hengzhou could probably guess the reason, but he still wanted to hear Shen Bai himself.

Shen Bai suppressed his emotions and recalled: "At that time, I heard that Brother Gu died in battle, and I didn't even find the corpse, I felt as if my brain had been hollowed out, and I couldn't take care of anything, I just wanted to see what the person who could behead Brother Gu under the horse looked like, I wanted to know what someone killed the person I liked for so long and so long." ”

It's been a long time since the incident, and when Shen Bai mentions it again, he can still feel overwhelmingly sad.

Gu Hengzhou took her into his arms and whispered, "It's me who is not good, and I will never do it again." ”
