Shen Bai can't run, the matter is in front of her, and she has to solve it.

Shen Bai turned around and walked into the house.

It was already dark, and the house was lit with lights, and through the dim halo, Shen Bai found that the furnishings in the house were similar to her Shuyun Garden.

There were meals, gauze and medicine on the table, and Gu Hengzhou took off his clothes obviously to give himself medicine.

The sword was pierced from the front chest to the back, and there was a wound about two inches on his back.

The past few days have been too tired, and the wound is a little red, swollen and inflamed, Shen Bai walked over and asked softly, "Do you need my help?" ”

Gu Hengzhou sat with his back to her, and he was not polite, and said in a deep voice: "Help me clean the wound on my lower back, and then apply the medicine." ”

Shen Bai did so, she didn't have any beautiful thoughts now, her movements were much neater than usual, and she quickly put the medicine on it, helped Gu Hengzhou wrap the gauze and tie a slipknot.

Gu Hengzhou is in good health, not afraid of the cold, and there is no one to burn the brazier in the house in winter, the temperature is very low, and he is afraid that the food will be cold, Shen Bai said: "Does His Royal Highness the Prince want to eat first?" ”

Now I don't even call my name, I just call His Royal Highness the Prince, and the meaning of estrangement is more obvious and obvious.

Gu Hengzhou put on his clothes, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and started eating, Shen Bai typed the draft before he spoke: "The Guogong Mansion doesn't have such a big place to pile up wood, I will find a way to get people to dispose of these things as soon as possible, as for Dongfang Ying and the guards of the Dongfang family, I will let them live elsewhere tomorrow, and I won't disturb you." ”

Shen Bai tried his best to minimize Gu Hengzhou's losses, Gu Hengzhou swallowed what was in his mouth, and said: "Your Majesty has passed away, I want to stay in Hanjing for a while longer, I will be busy recently, and these things will be handed over to Gu Sangu Si in the future, so I don't need to come to tell me." ”

"Okay."

Shen Bai nodded, as if he had just returned to the time when he had just been reborn, Gu Hengzhou was always very cold to her, and he didn't have a good face at all.

Although he was mentally prepared, when he really faced it, Shen Bai still couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

After finishing the matter, there was nothing to say between the two, Shen Bai hesitated, and was about to leave, Gu Hengzhou groaned: "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, if he asks about your marriage and mine, I will tell him that the marriage contract has been canceled, if His Royal Highness asks about you......"

"I'll answer the same thing." Shen Bai didn't want to answer directly, Gu Hengzhou's eyes were deep, he looked at her for a while, looked away, and said lightly: "Okay." ”

The room was quiet, Shen Bai stood up straight, bowed to Gu Hengzhou uprightly, and said sincerely: "It was wrong for me to pretend to be drunk and drunk and crazy that day, please don't have the same knowledge as me, Your Highness has great ambitions and talents, and will be able to become a great hero admired by thousands of people in the future, I wish Your Highness good health and smooth and worry-free in the future!" ”

No matter what happens to her in the future, she only hopes that Gu Hengzhou can do well.

Gu Hengzhou didn't respond, Shen Bai was so pressed by the silence that it was difficult to breathe, he got up to leave, and unexpectedly bumped into Gu Hengzhou's deep and delicate eyes, he looked at Shen Bai fixedly, and asked word by word: "You said before, I married Su Xiaoqiu in the previous life, and I got married that day, and you said similar things to me with such an attitude?" ”

Shen Bai was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to suddenly ask this, think about it carefully, when Brother Gu got married in the previous life, she seemed to have said that she did wish him and Su Xiaoqiu Qinse harmony and old age.

Shen Bai's expression said it all, Gu Hengzhou lowered his eyes to hide the emotions at the bottom of his eyes, and said, "Let's go." After speaking, he didn't look at Shen Bai again, but only lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

Shen Bai was inexplicable, but he didn't want to ask, so he turned around and left.

Gu Hengzhou sat alone in the room, and chuckled at the void for a long time: "It turns out that you have also been left behind by her, and you are not much better than me." ”

It was quiet, no one answered him, and no one knew what he was talking about.

Coming out of Gu Hengzhou's courtyard, Shen Bai went to the courtyard where Dongfang Ying now lives.

Entering the house, the smell was fragrant, Shen Qi sat on a pile of bark and gnawed, Dongfang Ying was not in the house.

Shen Bai walked over and picked Shen Qi up, Shen Qi chewed the bark and swallowed it, burped, looked at Shen Bai happily and shouted, "Mother!" ”

"If you eat it again, you'll be fat and piggy." Shen Bai poked Shen Qi's soft cheek, Shen Qi rubbed her palm, and muttered and complained: "My mother left me alone, and she didn't let me eat, and she didn't love me at all." ”

If this topic continues to be discussed, I am afraid that this little devil will become a bad little crying bag again.

Shen Bai didn't answer, swept around the room, and asked Shen Qi, "Where did your Uncle Dongfang Ying go?" ”

"I don't know." Shen Qi flew to Shen Bai's hand and hugged her arm to complain, "He said that I was dragging an oil bottle, and he sent me away with a pile of bark, and he didn't take me anywhere." ”

Shen Qi had a deep grudge against Dongfang Ying, and Shen Bai touched the fetal hair on the top of his head as a comfort, and took him back to Taifu's mansion.

The white flags of the Taifu Mansion were not removed, the atmosphere in the house was very low, seeing Shen Bai coming back, the next person immediately went to work for dinner, Shen Bai went straight back to Shuyun Garden, and saw Cha Bai standing at the gate of the courtyard with a lantern from a distance, she was wearing a green dress, indifferent and quiet, like a night fragrance blooming alone in a corner.

Shen Bai walked over and saw that she had lost a lot of weight, but her eyes were brighter and firmer than before, her heart was slightly relaxed, and she bowed and saluted: "Slave maid to meet Miss." ”

Shen Baixu helped her and said softly: "It's good to come back, it's so cold, what are you doing outside, will I still get lost and can't find my home?" ”

"Yes."

Cha Bai nodded in response, carried the lantern and went back to the house with Shen Bai, the green tip had just burned the incense, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he immediately smiled: "Miss is finally back, Miss shouldn't have rested in the past few days, okay, the slave and maid lit the incense, and the quilt was also warmed with a water bag, and Miss will have a good rest after eating and soaking her feet for a while." ”

Shen Bai was indeed quite tired, gave Lujian a complimenting look, and lay down to sleep after eating.

Xu was because she lit the soothing incense, and her body was tired, Shen Bai slept very deeply, I don't know how long she slept, she heard someone calling her in a daze, but her eyes were always blocked by the fog, she followed the sound for a long time and didn't find where the person was, but suddenly woke up with one foot in the air.

Shortness of breath, suffocating pain in his chest, Shen Bai gasped for breath, and came back to his senses to find that Shen Qi didn't know when he fell asleep on her chest.

It turned out that it was pressed by a ghost.

Shen Bai took Shen Qi to the side, felt thirsty, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and poured a cup of cold tea to drink.

The tea was cold, and Shen Bai shivered after drinking it, and he was completely awake, and then realized that a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back, and he was almost caught by the nightmare just now.

This little bastard is really here to collect debts.

Shen Bai sneered, put down the teacup, saw that it was still dark outside, and was about to go back to bed to continue sleeping, when a light spot the size of a mung bean floated out, followed by the second and third grains.

Those points of light emitted a faint green light, like intermittent bead threads came to Shen Bai, the bell on his wrist rang, and those points of light slowly attached to the bell, as if they wanted to merge with the bell, but the bell did not accept it.

The point of light floated out of the mask, after taking the mask back from Sun, the mask has been placed in the makeup box, Shen Bai walked to the dresser and took out the mask, the surrounding area was pitch black, and the glossy green light highlighted the patterns on the mask very clearly.

When Shen Po was just born, he accidentally touched this mask, and Shen Bai had also seen the uniqueness of this mask, but at that time, this mask only showed the maps of Dongheng and Zhaoling, and now, Nanxiang also appeared on it.

No one had ever put together the maps of these three countries separately before, but at this moment, on the mask, Shen Bai not only saw the map of the three countries, but also saw a phoenix with wings ready to fly.

The weather was cold, but there was a warm flow on the mask, as if it was alive.

Jingle bells.

The bell rang twice, and the green light on the mask gradually dimmed and returned to its original appearance, and the warmth dissipated, and the mask in his hand became dull again.

"Tsk, as a high priest, he is quite good at appetizing."

Shen Bai snorted, put the mask back in the makeup box, and went back to bed to sleep.

This night, Shen Bai slept directly until dawn, and Lujian and Chabai felt sorry for her and didn't tell her to get up, so Shen Bai was woken up by his own hunger.

I woke up once halfway, Shen Bai slept very deeply in the back of the night, and after waking up, I felt that my vitality had recovered a little, and the fatigue and fatigue of the journey were barely dissipated, Shen Qi was playing with the parrot again, and the parrot was so frightened by him that he shrank in the corner of the cage, and the mung bean-sized eyes were rolling around, pitiful and funny.

Shen Bai got dressed and got out of bed, Shen Qi immediately flew over, stood on Shen Bai's shoulder and showed off to the parrot, as if he had won Shen Bai's favor.

Shen Bai raised his hand and poked his head to teach: "Our Shen family has a family motto, you can't bully the weak casually, you can't abuse your power, everything has a spirit, you can't deliberately murder living beings, understand?" ”

Shen Qi frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't understand, I'm just a child." ”

You've lived for two hundred years, and you still think of yourself as a child?

Shen Bai rolled his eyes, carried Shen Qi to the table, and said seriously: "Not being able to bully the weak means that you have abilities that are different from ordinary people, and I don't, you can't just stretch out your claws and scratch me." ”

Shen Qi immediately defended himself: "You are my mother, as long as you don't leave me, I won't scratch you." ”

Shen Bai was quite satisfied with this answer, and said: "This is natural, Kyushu and the four seas pay attention to a filial piety, since you call me a mother, you can't do anything to me, otherwise it will be a big rebellion, and you will be thundered by the sky, but ......"

Shen Bai changed his words, pointed to the parrot and said, "Although that bird is a little ugly, it is also spiritual, you can play with it, but you can't really hurt it." ”

Shen Qi muttered, "I don't like it." ”

"It's just a bird, what's not to like about you?" Shen Bai pinched Shen Qi's cheeks, a little crying and laughing, "My son is just you, when have you ever heard me call him a son?" ”

This explanation made Shen Qi's eyes light up, but he still put his hands around his chest and said reservedly: "That...... I just barely like it. ”

"Yes, good boy."

Shen Bai touched Shen Qi's head and praised, this little ghost has been raised by the incense maker for nearly two hundred years, and it is estimated that he does something to fight with other souls on weekdays, and finally met a bird that can play with him, where can there be anything he doesn't like? It's just a hard mouth.

The hour was not early, Shen Bai directly ate breakfast and lunch, and after resting for a while, he asked people to prepare the carriage to go out.

She changed into men's clothes, didn't bring a maid, got into the carriage from the back door, and went to the back door of the Tea Pavilion in a low-key manner.

The back door has always been guarded, Shen Bai lit the token, the doorkeeper respectfully welcomed her in, entered the small attic from the backyard, and the little maid welcomed her up to the third floor and went to the easternmost room.

Shen Bai walked into the room and sat down, and the little servant quickly served hot tea and pastries, and about a quarter of an hour later, an old man in a dark brocade robe walked into the room.

The old man's hair was almost completely white, he had a goatee on his chin, and his face was weather-beaten, but his eyes were extremely bright, like sharp blades, which could easily cut open the skin and see the inside of a person, but it did not make people feel dangerous.

As soon as the old man entered the door, Shen Bai stood up, bowed respectfully, and called softly: "Shen Bai has seen Wei Guozhang. ”

The surname Wei is not common in Zhaoling, and the only person who can be called Wei Guozhang by Shen Bai is Wei Li, the head of the Wei family, the mother of the first queen.

The Wei family lost its status as an imperial businessman, and gradually declined under the exclusion of the Lu family, the queen mother's family, the first queen died of illness, Wei Ruzhao became a lay disciple, Wei Li lost his beloved daughter and young son, and he has been called sick at home all these years, and rarely shows his face in front of everyone, so few people know that Chayun Pavilion is actually the industry of the Wei family.

The decline of the Wei family is irreversible, but Wei Li has not collapsed, and has been collecting information from all parties through the Tea Yun Pavilion.

Everyone thinks that the Wei family has no successor, only Wei Li always remembers that the incense of the Wei family has never been broken, and he also has a grandson who is the prince.

Even if he tries his best, he has to leave something for his grandson.

Shen Bai didn't know in advance that it was the Wei family who was controlling the Tea Yun Pavilion behind her back, she was bored at that time and liked to paint some of the daily life of the Tai Academy, and anonymously sold these to some small art workshops to make a little money.

She knew all about which master liked to be late for class, and which master liked to drink in private, and if she was scolded in class, she would deliberately draw that master funny.

These paintings were seen by Wei Li, and Wei Li asked people to contact Shen Bai, saying that Chayun Pavilion was willing to buy all Shen Bai's paintings in the future and make friends with Shen Bai.

After Zhao Che ascended the throne in the previous life, Wei Li took the initiative to find Shen Bai, and together with Shen Bai, persuaded Wei Ruzhao to return to the world and return to the Wei family's family business, everything changed order in this life.

Hearing that Shen Bai had discovered his identity, Wei Li was not too surprised, and said gently: "Shuxian has been dead for many years, and I have almost forgotten the identity of the national abbot, Miss Shen still calls me Mr. Wei." ”

"Mr. Wei." Shen Bai changed his words from the good and straight to the point, "The old gentleman should know that a few months ago, the younger generation was ordered by the first emperor to go to Nanxiang with his uncle, nominally to escort Murong Xuan, the fifth prince of Nanxiang, back, but in fact, to investigate the customs of Nanxiang and reopen the business and trade between Zhaoling and Nanxiang. ”

Wei Li sat down and looked at Shen Bai with a calm expression.

He has been paying attention to this child since he was very early, this child doesn't look serious, but he is actually very talented, he is the first in the Tai Academy, and he became a Tanhualang at the age of fourteen.

Among the children of these families, except for Gu Hengzhou, she is the most eye-catching.

Wei Li has lived for such an age, and he can be regarded as reading countless people, but he never expected that Shen Bai would be his daughter.

In the final analysis, he still believed in the first queen too much, and he never thought that Shuxian would do such a thing as referring to the phoenix as a phoenix before she died.

Shen Bai knew that Wei Li was thinking about Zhaoling and Zhao Che, and he was not taboo, and said: "Now that the monarch of Nanxiang has agreed to exchange business with Zhaoling again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the juniors to draw up a list suitable for trade with Nanxiang and submit it. ”

The Wei family has been dormant for nearly ten years, waiting for a chance to make a comeback, now that there are people, there is a chance, Shen Bai also sent his hands to Wei Li, Wei Li should not have any reason to refuse.

Wei Li didn't rush to say whether he wanted to help Shen Bai, but asked, "When did you guess my identity?" ”

"I'm not that powerful, I can directly guess the identity of the abbot, but by chance, I happened to know that the abbot doesn't have to overestimate me." Shen Bai replied truthfully, without specifically explaining what kind of coincidence it was.

Wei Li also heard that Shen Bai didn't want to explain, so he thought for a moment and said, "In three days, the list will be sent directly to the Taifu Mansion, and Miss Shen will forward it to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Shen Bai bowed and said, "Thank you." ”

Wei Li looked at her, his eyes became gentle and loving, and asked: "Miss Shen is strategic, and her courage is by no means comparable to that of ordinary young ladies of the family, you have done your best to contribute to Zhaoling and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but what do you want?" ”

Wei Li's words were almost clear, Shen Bai lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "The first queen is kind to the younger generation, and the younger generation is like this to repay the kindness of the first queen." ”

"Shuxian has asked you to pretend to be a man for fifteen years, you don't resent it at all, but you think she is kind to you?" Wei Li asked, Shen Bai raised his head, looked at him with clear eyes, and said: "The younger generation believes that the first queen made such a decision out of desperation, and the first queen personally took care of me for four years. ”

Shen Bai thought clearly, Wei Li was a little surprised, and then he was not ambiguous, and asked bluntly: "So you really don't marry that kid from the Gu family?" ”

Shen Bai was slightly stunned, remembering what Gu Hengzhou said last night, and said calmly: "I care about Brother Gu and will never change, but Gu Hengzhou and I are destined to have no chance in this life, and his concubine should have someone else." ”

Wei Li didn't know what the difference between Brother Gu and Gu Hengzhou in Shen Bai's mouth was, and after hearing Shen Bai's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Bai told him about the wood again, and Wei Li promised to notify the wood dealer to see the wood valuation in a few days.

After talking about business, Shen Bai left quickly, Wei Li sat in the house for a while, there was a movement on the wall behind him, and Zhao Che walked out from behind the wall.

Wei Li drank tea and said faintly: "What Fang Cai said, you kid heard it?" ”
