Amber Lake.

A painting boat is quietly moored by the lake.

Xie Jinci sat on the big chair on the deck, the mountain breeze blew across her white and tender face, and the girl was full of green mountains and green waters, and the scenery of early spring had begun to show grandeur.

Shen Jingzhen took her maidservant and proudly boarded the painting boat, "Xie Jinci, your maid said that you want to apologize to me?" ”

Xie Jinci got up, "Exactly." After what happened to Shen Rui's son, I felt deeply guilty, thought about it, and thought that I still needed to apologize to Concubine Shen and Shen Shangshu. ”

When she mentioned Shen Rui, Shen Jingzhen was angry.

The only younger brother was crippled, and she couldn't wait to eat Xie Jinci alive!

She sat down and said coldly, "What tricks do you want to play with me?" ”

Xie Jinci raised his hand and motioned for the little guy to start the boat.

They are all small servants in King Jin's Mansion, and she is very relieved.

She rolled up her sleeves and poured tea for Shen Jingzhen in person, "I really want to apologize to Concubine Shen, how can I play tricks?" Concubine Shen, take a look, the scenery here is excellent, and the boating on the lake is refreshing, but is it not a good place to make amends? ”

Shen Jingzhen was disdainful, "Hmph, if you really want to make amends, kneel down and kowtow to this concubine ten times, and then leave with Shen Changfeng, and go to Shangshu Mansion to serve my brother for the rest of my life!" ”

Xie Jinci put down the teapot.

She sat down and stroked the hem of her skirt, "I have promised others in my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve Shen Rui's son." ”

Shen Jingzhen was annoyed, "Then what crime did you pay me for?!" ”

Xie Jinci pointed to the tea cup, "Pouring tea for you in person, isn't it considered to make amends?" Concubine Shen dislikes me and is not sincere? ”

Shen Jingzhen's face was hideous, and she grabbed the embroidered handkerchief fiercely.

Pouring tea is called sincerity?!

What her brother has lost is the ability to carry on the lineage!

Xie Jinci didn't seem to be able to see her anger, and her smile became more and more gentle, "I've made amends, it's Concubine Shen's turn to make amends." ”

Shen Jingzhen was even more annoyed, "I make amends?!" What crime am I paying for?! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will definitely return to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let him teach you a good lesson! ”

Xie Jinci smiled: "Although my grandmother is not in good health, it is not difficult to live a few more years. It was precisely because of you and Zhao's aggressiveness that my grandmother died of depression. Shen Jingzhen, I want you to pay back this life. ”

"Joke! What is Jiang Xi, she has been cheating in Jiangnan for decades, and the concubine only scolded her twice, she should bear it, and she should be grateful! A cheap life, it is also worthy of being compared with this concubine?! ”

Mei Qing had already fetched a basin of water.

A foot-deep basin full of water.

Xie Jinci was indifferent: "Do it." ”

The two little guys immediately stepped forward, grabbed Shen Jingzhen without saying anything, forced her to kneel on the ground, and slammed her head into the basin of water.

Shen Jingzhen was stunned and hurriedly struggled, "Xie Jinci, are you crazy?!" You want to kill me?! I'm the crown prince's concubine, how dare you?! ”

Xie Jinci's face was expressionless.

Shen Jingzhen's maidservant rushed up to help, but was knocked unconscious by Mei Qing's elbow.

Shen Jingzhen was even more panicked, "Xie Jinci, we have something to say, don't mess around!" The queen and they all know that I came out to find you, and if I die, you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

Xie Jinci picked up the teacup.

Lift the lid of the tea, and the taste of almond tea is sweet and silky.

This was my grandmother's favorite drink when she was alive.

She smiled, "Since I want to kill you, I naturally made all the preparations." ”

"You-" Shen Jingzhen was scared and annoyed, swallowed her saliva, and said, "You let me go, I'll tell you a big secret!" You also know that Shen Changfeng treated his grandfather so much, his grandfather couldn't bear it anymore, he would attack Shen Changfeng! But as long as you let me go, I will let my grandfather let Shen Changfeng go! ”

Xie Jinci sniffed the almond tea.

She was born bright and beautiful, and the slightly curled eyes made her charming.

But her eyes are always clear as water, and she is as delicate as a child who has never been in the world.

She said, "Shen Zhixing wants to deal with him? ”

"That's right! As long as you let me go, I will stop my grandfather! ”

"Heh, my man Xie Jinci, do you need me to protect you?"

The girl's voice is soft and delicate.

The moment the words landed, Mei Qing pressed Shen Jingzhen's head into the basin.

The three of them held her and let her struggle and cry desperately to no avail.

Xie Jinci carefully sprinkled the almond tea on the ground, as if a sacrifice.

The boat had sailed far away from the lakeshore.

Most of the men went to the hunting grounds, and the ladies stayed in the stands to talk to the queen, and almost no one came to a place like Amber Lake.

Except-

Looking for Yuan Fuxue everywhere.

The girl in white clothes Shengxue, riding on a white horse, lost her temper because she could not find the wine, and kept whipping the flowers and trees by the lake.

Snorting, she noticed the boat on the lake in the distance.

The girl squinted, relying on her excellent eyesight, and vaguely saw Xie Jinci sitting on it drinking tea, and a few handmaidens held down a woman and buried her face deep in the basin.

In broad daylight, Xie Jinci is killing people?!

Yuan Fuxue was stunned for a long time, and immediately urged the horse to find someone.

On the painting boat, Mei Qing said: "Niangniang, Shen Jingzhen is dead." ”

She turned Shen Jingzhen over.

The woman's face before death was hideous and distorted, which showed that she had suffered a lot of pain before she died.

Xie Jinci was indifferent, "Let's do it." ”

Libai, who was standing behind him, immediately gestured.

The delicate boat swayed in the middle of the lake, and the planks on the deck were warped, but in a moment, the whole boat was torn apart!

Everyone fell into the water!

Mei Qing has a good water nature, and she protected Xie Jinci to swim to the shore, and did not forget to nag: "It takes a lot of effort for Niangniang to kill someone, if it is handed over to His Royal Highness, why bother so much?" ”

Xie Jinci didn't speak.

She designed Shen Jingzhen in this place to make everyone mistakenly think that there was something wrong with the painting boat, which caused Shen Jingzhen to drown.

In this way, she can pluck herself cleanly.

Although it was a bit of a hassle......

But compared to letting Shen Jingzhen die silently, this way of dying is more relieving.

The master and servant swam to the shore, Xie Jinci was soaked and his face was pale, and his voice was soft and weak, "Concubine Shen has an accident, go and call someone!" ”

Mei Qing sneered.

Their mother had just been fluttering vigorously in the water, and as soon as she came ashore, she became this delicate appearance......

Mei Qing whispered: "Niangniang, there is no one around, what are you doing in such a hurry to enter the play?" ”

was rolled by Xie Jinci, and then she smiled and went to call someone.

Tent.

Xie Jinci had already bathed himself, changed into a loose silk bedclothes, and quietly leaned on the chaise longue.

Rong Zhejiu stepped in from outside the screen, and saw a branch lamp lit in the corner, the girl's lacquered hair hung down her waist, her hands were obediently clasped in front of her, her little face was pale and clean, and her low-hanging eyelashes covered her watery pupils, and she couldn't see what she was thinking.

"Sister Xie."

Xie Jinci looked up.

Rong Zhejiu: "Shen Jingzhen's body has been salvaged, and the queen has instructed me to review the case." ”

The last time he fought with Shen Changfeng, he fell into the disadvantage and was thrown into Dali Temple by the emperor on an errand, and it was reasonable to review the case.

Xie Jinci's eyelashes fluttered, and he said softly: "I just wanted to make amends to Concubine Shen, and I didn't think that this kind of thing would happen." I am to blame for her death. ”

Her eyes were slightly red, and she raised her hand and pressed the moist corners of her eyes, "I was in the water just now, and I was also scared, but fortunately, my maid is good at water, and I can pick up this life." ”

Rong Zhejiu looked at her quietly.

The girl does not apply powder, like a green lotus that has been washed away with lead, so clean that it is unbearable to touch.

It's just that......

He whispered: "Sister Xie, if you drown, and if you drown, the corpse will be in a different state." ”

Xie Jinci lowered his eyes.

Rong Zhejiu: "Drowned, the face is red and purple, and there is no damage on the body." If you drown, you will have muddy foam in your mouth and nostrils, mud and sand between your fingernails, and your abdomen will be distended. And Shen Jingzhen belongs to the first way to die. ”

Xie Jinci's face was expressionless.

She hadn't read any books on the subject, so she didn't know much about it.

Before the accident in the painting boat, she even deliberately ordered someone to remove the skin and wood chips that Shen Jingzhen picked in her nails before she died, she thought she was careful enough, but she didn't expect it......

Rong Zhejiu sat down on the side of the chaise longue, brushed one side of her lacquered hair behind her ear, and chuckled: "What should I do, you bumped into my hand again." ”

Xie Jinci looked at him.

The man's jade crown is tied with his hair, and his posture is like the bright moon in a mountain stream, not stained with dust.

She suddenly smiled slyly, "Rong Zhenjiu, you once said that you like me." ”

"Yes."

"Do you still like it now?"

Rong Zhejiu: "I still like it." ”

He has had a vigorous love, and he has also had a past full of stories.

Xie Jinci's appearance is like a pebble thrown into the lake, which seems to be just rippling on the surface of the lake, but the bottom of the lake is already surging with waves.

He liked Xie Jinci after reading thousands of sails, faint and fiery.

"If you like it, then you can't betray me." Xie Jinci tilted his head innocently, "Rong Zhenjiu, you can't denounce me, and you are not qualified to betray me." ”

Rong Zhejiu stared at her.

The girl's eyes were so determined that they sealed the words he hadn't yet spoken.

He had intended to threaten her with this......

There was silence inside the tent.

Xie Jinci no longer pretended to be weak after drowning, picked up the sewing basket, and continued to sew the unfinished shirt.

The shirt was sewn with fine silk satin, and every inch of the embroidery was so delicate that it dazzled the eyes of Rong Zhejiu.

He whispered: "Did it for Shen Changfeng?" ”

"Hmm."

"There's always a way for you to make my heart ache."

"I once went to your mansion in a sedan chair, but you turned me away. I haven't returned that shame to you, what are you doing so early? ”

Rong Zhijiu was silent.

He stared at Xie Jinci.

He remembered that in the past, this girl was as gentle as spring water, with a smile and a smile, and her every move was full of tenderness, always caring about his emotions and always taking care of his face.

Can ...... now

Her body seemed to be covered with thorns, and the cold aura that no one could approach almost made him despair.

He finally left without saying a word.

After he left, Libai brought hot tea, "Niangniang, Lord Rong won't denounce you, right?" ”

Xie Jinci was determined: "He won't." ”

In the past, she was deceived by Rong Zhen wine and experienced the pain of the destruction of her family.

After more than half a year of training in the market, she is calmer than before and can see a person more clearly.

Now Rong Zhejiu is moved by his heart and feelings, and he is in a kind of confusion that he can't ask for, and he is no longer the famous son with evil intentions in the past.

This kind of folding wine is too easy to manipulate.

She lowered her head and sipped hot tea, not guilty of using the wine.

for he owes her,

Too much.
