The young man's attitude was really arrogant, as if a room full of people didn't even have the qualifications to say a word in front of him.

Murong Qi pursed his lips and said nothing, Wei Ruzhao and Gu Hengzhou had a weak temperament, and were not stimulated by the young man's words, although Shen Bai was very dissatisfied with the way the young man spoke, his face was not obvious, and he asked calmly: "What does the door master mean by this?" Do you have a way to save your lordship? ”

The young man didn't answer, rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "I've been on the road for several days, I'm tired, I want to burn incense and bathe, and eat a delicious meal to replenish my strength." ”

After speaking, the boy lifted his sleeves, revealing the flame tattoo on his right arm, the tattoo was originally black, I don't know what method the boy used, the flame glowed red, as if there was really a fire burning.

Seeing this tattoo, Murong Qi's expression changed slightly, and he ordered the palace people to take the young man to bathe and change clothes, and he took Shen Bai and them to the banquet hall.

The incense makers of the Oriental family have not been in the WTO for many years, but the names of all the incense makers will be reported by the head of the family, and their names may not be known to the world, but they will be recorded in the history of Nanxiang forever.

Murong Qi, as a prince, has also seen these lists, this young man with a flame tattoo on his hand is called Dongfang Ying, he is a disciple of Yunshang, originally after Murong Qi succeeded to the throne, Dongfang Ying also wanted to take Yunshang's position as the new head of the sect.

Murong Qi didn't know much about Dongfang Ying, only that this young man was talented and intelligent, but his temperament was very rebellious and eccentric, and many times even Yunshang couldn't control him.

Murong Qi briefly introduced the origin of Dongfang Ying to Shen Bai and them, and the palace people quickly delivered the meal, but Dongfang Ying did not arrive for a long time.

When the food was almost cold, Murong Qi finally couldn't sit still, so he asked people to go to Dongfang Ying, and after a quarter of an hour, Dongfang Ying yawned and said insincerely: "I'm sorry, I'm too tired, and I fell asleep without paying attention." ”

You're so casual.

Shen Bai slandered, and found that this person looked quite handsome after washing his face, but he refused to dress properly, the brocade clothes he had just changed into had been torn by him, and his hair was not tied with a crown like ordinary people, but braided with red thread and draped on the back of his head, which was different from others at first glance.

Dongfang Ying walked straight to the banquet and sat down, without saying hello to others, picking up chopsticks and starting to eat, without saying anything polite.

Even when Dongfang Qing participated in the palace banquet, he was not so casual, Murong Qi glanced at him, and suppressed his anger and beckoned Shen Bai to eat them too.

Dongfang Ying was fast, gobbling up like he hadn't eaten for more than ten days, and after a while, he burped, patted his stomach and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." ”

Shen Bai immediately put down his chopsticks, wanting to see what Dongfang Ying was capable of, Dongfang Ying lifted his eyelids and said quietly: "I don't like other people watching when I do things, you continue to eat, just take me over." ”

Shen Bai sat down, in the final analysis, this matter is still a family matter of the Murong family, she is an outsider, it doesn't matter if she is not there.

Dongfang Ying's temperament doesn't seem to be a reliable person, but with the Dongfang family behind him, Murong Qi finally chose to believe him and asked the palace people to take Dongfang Ying to see Murong Lin.

Worried that Dongfang Ying would not be able to completely cure Murong Lin, after eating, Murong Qi still left Shen Bai and them in the palace.

As soon as the palace people left with their front feet, Luo Li came to find Shen Bai with their back feet.

The palace people went down to serve tea, and Luo Li and Shen Bai sat down face to face.

Not long after Luo Li came out of confinement, her body looked a lot plumper than before, her eyebrows and eyes were still soft, but she was faintly worried, Shen Bai had heard that mothers had such a period of time, and she didn't care too much, so she chatted with Luo Li politely.

After chatting for a few words, Luo Li asked the palace people who served him to step down, and then lifted his skirt and knelt down in front of Shen Bai.

A few hours ago, Murong Qi knelt down to Shen Bai, and at this time, Luo Li made such a big salute, Shen Bai felt that he couldn't stand it a little, and hurriedly helped Luo Li up.

She has always been pitiful and cherished, Luo Li has just given birth to a child, she doesn't want Luo Li to be wronged.

"What is the princess doing, what do you have to say, why do you need to make this big gift?" Shen Bai said and helped Luo Li to sit down, and when he saw that her eyes were red, he hurriedly took a silk handkerchief to her.

Luo Li pinched the silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, sighed and said, "Let Miss Shen smile." ”

Shen Bai waved his hand and said: "This is nothing to laugh at, the princess has just given birth to a child, and it is normal that her temperament has not recovered, and even if there are people around to serve her all the time, it is impossible for everything to go well, and it is possible for the princess to have grievances." ”

Shen Bai comforted that Xu Shi had also experienced the pain of being pregnant in October in his dreams, and he could understand Luo Li's situation better than before.

Luo Li's eyes became redder and redder, and she said softly: "I have been recuperating in the palace some time ago, and I have never come out, but I have heard that Miss Shen has some relationship with the Dongfang family, and the Dongfang family also sent two masters to protect Miss Shen. ”

Shen Bai remembered that Luo Li was born in a poor family, and now she is the princess, she still likes to use her own name in front of Shen Bai, and she has no arrogance at all.

Shen Bai didn't rush to answer, Luo Li continued: "Miss Shen also knows that I come from a poor family, if it weren't for a coincidence, I'm afraid that I would never have the chance to meet His Royal Highness in this life, let alone become the eldest princess." ”

"Although the princess was born in a poor family, she has always advanced and retreated, and she is no different from the noble daughter of the family, and she can fully afford the position of the princess." Shen Bai persuaded softly, Luo Li frowned and shook his head, his expression became solemn, and he said after a while: "I had the same idea as Miss Shen before, but after Yuanjun was arrested that day, I suddenly had a dream. ”

Is it related to Yuanjun again?

Shen Bai was surprised, and continued to listen patiently, Luo Li said: "I dreamed that I was actually from a certain family, and I had a father and brother who loved me, but I was not really a peasant girl. ”

If Shen Bai hadn't experienced rebirth and hadn't seen so many unbelievable things since he arrived in Nanxiang, he would have felt that this was just a dream, nothing at all.

But as soon as he heard Luo Li say it at this moment, Shen Bai immediately keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Luo Li was very cautious, paused for a moment, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Bai's serious expression, and then lowered his voice and said, "I suspect that I have been replaced. ”

Shen Bai only heard Dongfang Ling say this kind of thing, but he didn't know how to verify it.

Dongfang Ling was forcibly changed by Dongfang Mengwan at that time, she didn't know that she was changed her spirit, but later she was also attacked by the incense making technique, and ended up like that, if Luo Li was also changed to her spirit......

Shen Bai pinched off his thoughts, not daring to think further, Luo Li eagerly grabbed her hand and said: "Since I have been with my husband, I have specially collected a lot of information about incense making, and I know that incense making is generally accompanied by very serious consequences, if I am really replaced, I will definitely be affected in the future, I don't want my husband and children to be affected, please Miss Shen help me." ”

Luo Li was really scared, and wanted to kneel down again after speaking, Shen Bai supported her with all his strength, and said in a deep voice: "Yuanjun was injured and arrested, and the princess had such a dream, maybe this matter is related to Yuanjun, don't worry, it's not too late to find out the truth." ”

Shen Bai's tone was calm, more responsible than ordinary men, Luo Li sat down again, sighed and said: "After Yuanjun was arrested, my father committed an old illness, and when I got up early this morning, I found that Ling'er also had a rash, I told my husband about it a few days ago, and my husband lost his temper for some reason, blaming me for being cranky, and I had no choice before I came to Miss Shen." ”

Luo Li said with tears in the corners of her eyes, she had just become a mother, and it was normal to worry about her child.

Before, in Zhaoling, Shen Bai felt that Murong Qi had a good relationship with her husband and wife, not like someone who would treat her like this, and secretly wondered if the backlash of the spirit change made him change his temperament, after all, after Dongfang Ling was changed to a spirit, Mu Duo was also like this.

Shen Bai himself was not sure to solve this matter, but he couldn't say it directly at this time, so he only said to Luo Li: "The princess doesn't need to worry, the Dongfang family has sent another talented incense maker to Nanxi, I will tell him about this matter later, he should have a way to solve it." ”

Luo Li seemed to have finally found a life-saving straw, and nodded again and again: "This will trouble Miss Shen." ”

Shen Bai comforted Luo Li for a while before Luo Li got up and left.

Shen Bai closed the door, habitually lowered his voice and asked Gu Hengzhou, who was standing aside, "Brother Gu, what do you think about this matter?" ”

As soon as Luo Li left, Shen Qi flew up again and hugged Shen Bai's arm.

Gu Hengzhou said in a deep voice: "I can't see anything abnormal, it depends on whether the incense maker of the Dongfang family has any methods." ”

Shen Bai nodded, his expression was a little solemn, he only felt that there were too many troubles left by the incense-making technique in Nanxiang Kingdom, and only the incense maker of the Dongfang family was okay before, but Dongfang Mengwan also created another sect to promote the incense-making technique.

Who knows how many hurtful things these perfumers have done in the past two hundred years?

This problem is much more difficult than Zhaoling having to fight with Yuexi.

Shen Bai touched his chin and was a little embarrassed, Gu Hengzhou said lightly: "These problems have existed for a long time, and they are widely implicated, they cannot be solved by yourself, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, go back to Zhaoling as soon as possible." ”

Since Shen Bai got the bell, he didn't hide from Shen Bai, Shen Bai thought he had figured it out, and when he heard him urging him to go back to Zhaoling, he knew that he was waiting for him here.

Shen Bai touched the fetal hair on the top of Shen Qi's head and asked calmly, "When you return to Zhaoling, does Brother Gu plan to go alone to unlock the curse of the sad and joyful side?" ”

Gu Hengzhou lowered his eyes, his sad and joyful face seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and Shen Bai heard him say: "I am no longer a person from this time and space, where to go, heaven's will has its own arrangements." ”

"So you're going to leave me alone?" Shen Bai asked, and then pinched Shen Qi's face and twisted it towards him, "I haven't married in this life, how can Brother Gu explain to Gu Hengzhou if I ask me to go back to Zhaoling?" ”

It was obvious that Gu Hengzhou was him, but Shen Bai distinguished the two.

Gu Hengzhou said: "No one can see this child. ”

Shen Bai said: "I can see it, I still have to talk to him often, Brother Gu is not afraid that when you are not by my side, others will treat me as a madman?" ”

Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips, didn't say a word, silently refused, looking a little indifferent and ruthless, Shen Bai lowered his head and said, "I know." ”

Raising her eyes again, her eyes were red, and she said in a low tone: "Since this is what Brother Gu expects me to do, then I will live according to Brother Gu's wishes in the future." ”

This was as if Gu Hengzhou was going to press her head and force her to do something that he was not willing to do at all, Gu Hengzhou looked at her and couldn't help but say: "I don't have any expectations, I just think that since you have a chance to do it again, you should take advantage of it and live the life you want." ”

"I've already done what I wanted." Shen Bai replied, looking at Gu Hengzhou fixedly, "Didn't Brother Gu also see it with his own eyes before?" I'm not having a good time. ”

She was talking about the reimu that the Oriental Dream made late.

Gu Hengzhou patiently persuaded: "It's just a dream, no one will do that to you, and the woman in the dream is an illusion of the Oriental Dream Night, after you go back, there shouldn't be such a person." ”

"But even if there is no Su Xiaoqiu, there will be others." Shen Bai retorted loudly, his eyes lit up, and then he softened his voice, revealing his most vulnerable side and said, "Brother Gu, I will be afraid too." ”

Reimu will infinitely magnify all people's desires, Shen Bai does live a big life on weekdays, but at some specific moments, she is indeed afraid, afraid that her liking is actually a burden to Gu Hengzhou, afraid that she can't compare to others, afraid that she can't do everything that Mrs. Gu should do.

She doesn't doubt Gu Hengzhou, she just doesn't have enough confidence in herself many times.

The room fell silent, and after a while, Gu Hengzhou said: "I promise you, I will go and lift the curse of sorrow and joy, and if I can still stay in this time and space, I will come to you." ”

This can be regarded as a concession he made, and his attitude is not as negative and pessimistic as just now, but he refuses to say that he will always be by Shen Bai's side.

Shen Bai was a little depressed, but he also knew that this time was different from the past, and he couldn't push it too hard, so he also took a step back and said: "This is a problem left over from the Dongfang family, I have promised Dongfang Ling to do this well, since Brother Gu is willing to lift the curse of sadness and joy, it is better to have a companion with me, and it can be regarded as me repaying Brother Gu for my kindness, how about it?" ”

The two communicated seriously, but in the end, they still returned to the original point and made no progress.

Dongfang Ying treated Murong Lin for a whole afternoon before it ended, and after dinner, Shen Bai walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and the palace people led Dongfang Ying in.

This yard is quite large, and it is more than enough for him to live in another one.

Dongfang Ying still looks like Bai Ri's eyes are above the top, but his lips are a little white, and his spirit is not so good.

He didn't plan to greet Shen Bai, but Shen Bai didn't care about this kid at all, walked over with his hands behind his back, and asked, "How is it, have you helped Jun Shang heal?" ”

Dongfang Ying didn't say a word, and directly ignored Shen Bai into the house, Shen Bai followed the house step by step, and said quietly: "I heard that you are Aunt Yunshang's proud disciple, my aunt has been good to me these days, you have such an attitude towards me now, and you are not afraid of being reprimanded by her after leaving the palace?" ”

Shen Bai wanted to use Yunshang to test how rebellious Dongfang Ying was, but he didn't expect this topic to touch his scales, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to attack Shen Bai.

Shen Bai was defenseless, and was thrown back by a wave of qi, but fortunately, Gu Hengzhou was always by her side, and reached out to help her so that she didn't fall, feeling the hostility, Shen Qi showed his claws to hit Dongfang Ying, Dongfang Ying didn't know what to take, Shen Qi was attracted by that thing, and instantly rebelled, hugging Dongfang Ying's arm and grinding his teeth with that thing.

Dongfang Ying said coldly: "Since you have a master around you to protect you, what else do you want our Dongfang family people to do?" ”

It was not surprising that he could see Gu Hengzhou, Shen Bai stood firm, hooked his lips and smiled: "I think you misunderstood, it's not that I have to ask someone from the Dongfang family to protect me, it's your family master who has to send someone to protect me, if you don't like it, I can also immediately repair the book and tell the family master that I don't need it." ”

Shen Bai had a lot of verbal battles with those old horsemen in his previous life, and people like Dongfang Ying, who showed that he had a bad temper at the beginning, are actually the best to handle, but people like Shen Bai who see people and talk about people are the most elusive.

As soon as Shen Bai said this, Dongfang Ying's brows furrowed, as if he didn't expect Shen Bai to ignore the people of the Dongfang family.

Shen Bai didn't give Dongfang Ying a chance to refute himself, exited the room, and lightly cut off Dongfang Ying's words, saying, "I see that your face is not good, let's rest early, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he hooked his hand at Shen Qi, Shen Qi hesitated for a while, but still flew back to Shen Bai's side, Shen Bai gave Shen Qi a piece of the fragrant cake that Yunshang had given before, and said in a loud voice: "Don't eat other people's things casually, we don't have it ourselves." ”

Her voice was not low, and she was clearly deliberately said to Dongfang Ying.

Dongfang Ying was so angry that he took two steps forward, Shen Bai seemed to have eyes behind his back, waved his hand and said, "Take two steps and go back to the house, the door owner doesn't need to send it." ”

I'll give you a big-headed ghost!

Dongfang Ying scolded secretly, and closed the door with a bang.

Shen Bai took Shen Qi back to the room, closed the door, turned around, and Gu Hengzhou disappeared again.

Shen Bai looked up at the roof and called softly, "Brother Gu? ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't respond, Shen Bai hugged Shen Qi and lay on the bed, and said to the void: "Brother Gu, I recognize the bed, I can't sleep, you can talk to me." ”

Gu Hengzhou appeared in the room out of thin air, sitting at the table seven or eight steps away from the bed, looking at the figure sitting in a precarious position without looking at the sad and joyful face, as if he was going to gather a few lieutenants to discuss tactics.

Shen Bai put Shen Qi aside, lay on his side with his head propped up, and smiled maliciously: "What are you doing so far away, it's a big night, Brother Gu doesn't want me to shout so that everyone can hear it." ”

It was as if Gu Hengzhou was going to do something to her.

Gu Hengzhou sat still, Shen Bai didn't force it, propped his head and said: "I remember that once Brother Gu returned to Beijing, Zhou Jue and I invited Brother Gu to go to Lanyue Pavilion to drink flower wine, Brother Gu was also sitting in such a precarious position, I was drunk by two girls and sent to the next room, Brother Gu also came after a while, drove away the two girls, and sat at the table looking at me like now, no matter how I persuaded him, Brother Gu refused to share the bed with me, at that time, Brother Gu didn't recognize my daughter's body?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't deny it, Shen Bai remembered those things, his expression was in a trance for a moment, and he said faintly: "I actually pretended to be drunk that night, and I also teamed up with those girls to put something in Brother Gu's wine, Brother Gu is too far away from Beijing, it is too difficult to see you once, that time I was bold, I really wanted to do something bad after Brother Gu was recruited, Brother Gu, why did you drink nothing at all?" ”

Shen Bai's tone was a little sad, and he couldn't help but wonder if she had succeeded in that time and conceived Gu Hengzhou's flesh and blood in one fell swoop, would it be possible that she would not have come to this point.

Gu Hengzhou also remembered which time Shen Bai was talking about, his eyelids drooped slightly, and after a while, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said in a dumb voice: "It's not nothing." ”

He had no defense against Shen Bai and Zhou Jue, and the things that Shen Bai let people put in the wine naturally entered his stomach.

So the first time he found out that something was wrong with his body was to go to Shen Bai.

Not long after entering the house, he found that Shen Bai was pretending to be drunk, he should have reprimanded her fiercely, so that she would not dare to do such a thing in the future, but at that time, in order to achieve a realistic effect, she drank three jars of wine, although she was not drunk like mud, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were also slightly drunk, her eyes were more sparkling than usual, and her face was redder than usual.

All of a sudden, those scolds were blocked in my throat and I couldn't speak.

His body was heating up, his desires were building, and he knew better than ever how much he wanted her, but he was also extremely rational enough to know that he couldn't do it.

He had too many burdens on his shoulders to be unsure if he could protect her, and even if he kept her for a while, he couldn't guarantee that she would be safe for the rest of her life.

So he just endured great suffering, sitting quietly in front of her, hoping that the love of his life would be exhausted that night, but only in exchange for deeper concern.

Shen Bai didn't expect to get such an answer, he was stunned for a moment, he wanted to understand what was going on, and couldn't help licking his lips and laughing: "I knew that Brother Gu was such a righteous gentleman, I should have put the medicine in my bowl in the first place." ”

"It's useless." Gu Hengzhou interrupted Shen Bai's words and ruthlessly poured cold water, "In the last life, it was impossible for me and you to have a result. ”

The camp of the captain of Hanjing is gone, Zhou Deshan is dead, Zhenguo Gong is also dead, Yuanfeng County is lost, the family covets the imperial power, and all the burdens are on him alone, and Shen Bai is the most relied on under Zhao Che, both of them have different responsibilities, even if there are slight changes, it will not change the final outcome.

After Shen Bai was reborn, he was living for himself, and Gu Hengzhou put on a sad and joyful face for Shen Bai to be reborn, so he could be regarded as living for himself.

In his life, he is worthy of his family and country, and the only one who is sorry is Shen Bai.

And when he chose to be worthy of Shen Bai, he completely gave up on himself.

Shen Bai's heart ached from being poured with a basin of cold water from him, turned his back and didn't look at him, and said sullenly: "Please turn off the lights." ”

The candle flame was immediately extinguished, and the room was quiet, Shen Qi crawled in front of Shen Bai, and his chubby paws gently brushed the corners of her eyes.

Every time he exaggerates and shouts, Shen Bai bluffs, only at times like this, through the darkness, silent tears are real.

Shen Qi obediently didn't speak, the room was quiet, and Shen Bai wasn't sure if Gu Hengzhou was still sitting in the same posture as he had just now at this time.

Shen Bai cried for a while and fell asleep, woke up early the next morning, washed up by himself, cleaned up and took Shen Qi out.

Gu Hengzhou was guarding outside the door with his hands on his chest, Dongfang Ying was talking to Wei Ruzhao with a bun in his mouth, Wei Ruzhao looked calm, and only occasionally responded to him with a few words, and when he saw Shen Bai come out, Dongfang Ying immediately sighed: "You don't have to sleep for a long time before you die, you will sleep forever after death, some people are really like pigs, wasting their lives in vain." ”

This person's mouth is the same as Zhou Jue's, Zhou Jue has been back to Zhaoling for a few days, Shen Bai is still a little strange about him, not angry at all, seeing that Dongfang Ying's complexion has recovered a lot, he walked over and said: "After just resting for one night, the door master has returned to normal, it is really amazing, presumably we don't need to worry about the next thing, then my uncle and I should be able to go out of the palace and return to Zhaoling." ”

Shen Bai didn't have the slightest nostalgia for Nanxiang between his words, Dongfang Ying frowned and looked at Shen Bai and asked, "Are you going to leave?" ”

Shen Bai turned his head and asked innocently in surprise: "Isn't the master of the door able to handle it alone?" ”

Dongfang Ying choked, he couldn't say that he couldn't handle this kind of thing, his eyes looked down, he saw Shen Bai's white wrist, and immediately said: "You took the heirloom of our Dongfang family, you can't just leave like this." ”

The heirloom he said was the string of bells that Dongfang Ling gave to Shen Bai before.

Shen Bai tilted his head, justified, and asked: "This is a gift from someone who is destined, and when the gift was given, he didn't say that he wanted me to take money or return the gift, does the owner of the door still want to ask me for money?" ”

Wei Ruzhao and Gu Hengzhou looked like the kind of honest and reasonable people, Dongfang Ying didn't expect Shen Bai to be so faceless and skinless, Lai Pi said: "Anyway, you can't go." ”

After speaking, he remembered that he still had the Dongfang family as a backer, so he was a little more confident, and said: "As long as I don't speak, and there is no customs clearance document, you can't even get out of Nanxi City." ”

Shen Bai just wanted to scare Dongfang Ying's sharpness, and when he saw that it was almost over, he stopped teasing him, nodded to the steps, and asked, "Then what do you want to do when you leave us down?" ”

Dongfang Ying deliberately pretended to be profound, shook his head and said, "You will know when the time comes." ”

Shen Baicai didn't want to wait for the time, so he got straight to the point: "Yuanjun Cao cares about people's lives, now that he is in prison, he must be dealt with in accordance with the law, and those who died in vain will be given justice, there are still many incense makers in Nanxiang, they have always been superior in Nanxiang because of their incense-making skills, and I don't know how much they have done behind the scenes, since the master of the door has been ordered to enter the WTO, should he take this opportunity to do something on behalf of the Dongfang family?" ”

When discussing business, Shen Bai was very serious and serious, Dongfang Ying didn't know Shen Bai yet, and he was very uncomfortable with the contrast between her before and after, so he didn't react a little, and asked sneeringly: "What do you want to do?" ”

Shen Bai originally wanted to persuade Murong Qi to summon all the current incense makers in Nanxiang to Nanxi to wipe them out, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was too arbitrary, and it was easy to offend the anger of the public, and it could not be solved in a while.

She said to Dongfang Ying: "I think the master of the door should propose to the king in the name of the Dongfang family to compile a special code of laws belonging to the incense makers, and the imperial court should set up a special department to deal with the backlash of the incense making technique and a series of problems caused by it, just like the Dongfang family stipulates that all the incense makers in the family are not allowed to enter the WTO." ”

Dongfang Ying's face frowned, and he didn't agree with Shen Bai's proposal, but the next moment he heard Shen Bai say: "I know that this proposal is a bit difficult to implement, as long as you convince your lord, I, as the initiator, will naturally find a way to put this proposal into practice, how about it?" ”
