Su Qinghui returned to the Huai Palace, lying on the bed for a long time but not sleeping, the news about Shen Shu sounded in his ears, although he was the son of Shen Gong, but his mother's status was low, all because he had saved Shen Zuolong's life in the past before entering the mansion as a concubine, plus the Shen Mansion lady gave birth to a daughter and was in weak health, and there was a young son many years later, so this little master was very pampered, so their mother and son's life in the Shen Mansion was not very good.

And although Shen Shu has a high temperament and is unwilling to be subservient all the time, but due to the general trend, he has been living patiently, so as long as he has the opportunity to turn over, he must not let go.

At night, Su Qinghui suddenly woke up from her dream, and slowly got up only to find that it was cold behind her, and the moonlight outside the window was reflected on the white porcelain pot, bleak and cold, she stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, just like the hopeless eyes and cold corpse of the girl in the dream.

Early in the morning of the second day, someone came to spread the word that she wanted to go to the Minghu Pavilion to wait, and saw the two people playing in the pavilion from a distance.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Six" Jing Sheng didn't say anything, just raised his hand, and glanced at her sideways: "Didn't you still have neat skills yesterday, how can you look listless today?"

Jing Rong on the side raised his eyes to look, Su Qinghui lowered his eyes and met his eyes, suddenly turned his gaze away, covered his hand and coughed lightly.

"That's right," Jing Sheng put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at her and said casually, "Let's talk about it," Su Qinghui walked to the table in a few steps, stretched out his hand to remove the messy chess pieces, and ignored Jing Sheng's frozen expression on the side, picked up a black chess piece and put it in the center and said.

"Shen Shu, the perennial suppression has formed a huge mental pressure, coupled with his own unwilling to lag behind, as well as his extreme antipathy to the Mandate of Heaven, which dominates his actions to a certain extent, but also because of this suppression, he is sometimes too emotional to make a decision, so he will only participate in it if it involves vital interests." As he spoke, he picked up a black chess piece and put it next to him, "Shen, is a master of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and judging the world." ”

Jing Sheng, who had not spoken for a long time on the side of the "main room", eased his expression, sat up straight, picked up a white chess piece and put down the interface, and said: "Sensitive heart, arrogant personality, partial to Buddhism. ”

After speaking, she looked at Su Qinghui's eyes and lit up, she nodded at the corner of the table: "So" pointed to the chess pieces arranged on the chessboard and said word by word: "Fate, there is a peacemaker in jealousy, as long as " Saying that, she flicked her slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were frivolous, and the corners of her mouth were curved: "Take her out, if you are provoked, you will be opposed." ”

Jing Sheng on the side looked at the girl with clear eyebrows and high spirits in front of him, as if he saw the bright and bright-toothed girl in his memory, and suddenly smiled bitterly, he was really speechless and silent.

The wind Buddha passed, the tea was sparkling, and there was no trace after all.

Since the conversation in the pavilion that day, Jing Sheng's attitude towards Su Qinghui has gradually melted like breaking the ice in winter, she remembered the bitterness, helplessness and gaze on Jing Sheng's face at the end, and her heart moved, maybe just like when she saw Ah Zhao earlier, she remembered the person who was thinking about her heart and mind.

"Sister" Nian Rong on the side said softly, "En? What's wrong" Nian Rong looked at Su Qinghui, who was pale and tired, and said worriedly: "Sister, I have something to worry about in the past two days, and I don't look very good. ”

Su Qinghui was stunned when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "It's okay, it's just that I haven't rested well in the past two days" "My sister always doesn't care about herself like this, the weather is getting colder and colder, and if you don't prevent it, you will get cold... ”

Su Qinghui looked at Nian Rong while counting her, and like a spinning top, poured ginger tea in the house, added the stove, and laughed lightly: "Okay, I know, Xiyue, you always make such a fuss." After speaking, Nian Rong's busy figure suddenly paused, and slowly turned to stare at Su Qinghui without saying a word, and the room suddenly froze, only the stove in the room was still struggling to make a sound.

"What's wrong" Nian Rong listened to Su Qinghui's unconscious tone, and said in a low voice: "Sister, who is Xiyue?"

Su Qinghui's figure froze suddenly, Xiyue, a name that can only see light in the middle of the night, suddenly appeared in front of her without warning, and she smiled miserably: "It turns out that the roads I once hated have to be walked by myself after all." ”

In the courtyard, Jing Sheng looked at the figure in front of him who was not moving, and reminded him loudly: "Brother, now it is clear that the girl is indeed related to Shao Yuan, so shouldn't your temptation end?"

"Yes" Although Jing Sheng replied to Tingyuan's words, his eyes kept staring at the person in front of him who didn't say a word, and said lightly: "Otherwise, do you think that the Fourth Highness has the intention to sharpen her will and cultivate a Yuan Dai?" ”

"So what?" Jing Rong put down the letter paper in his hand, raised his indifferent eyes and spoke: "When will your temptation end?" Jing Sheng looked straight into Jing Rong's eyes, as if he was sure that there was nothing else in them, folded his arms, and said with a chuckle: "Since this is the case, it will be easy to do."

Saying that, he picked up a page, "I checked, the amount of money under that person's hand is actually from Su Chong's name, and Shen Zuolong is responsible for supervising the merchants in the capital, but this is only part of it, and the remaining part is extremely scattered and secretive, if you want to gather, it will take more time, energy and money, maybe this is also the reason why he has been delayed."

He paused as he spoke: "And this silver capital from various commercial bases, although it is handled by Su Chong, its real owner is Cheng Luo." "Cheng Luo" Tingyuan's brows furrowed: "But she didn't die a long time ago" "So" Jing Sheng looked at Su Qinghui who came over through the window, and his voice was dumb: "Her daughter is here"

When Su Qinghui walked into the house, she felt that the atmosphere around her was a little tense, she put down the tea tray and was about to turn around and leave, but Jing Sheng behind her stopped her: "Wait, after analyzing it yesterday, is it time to give a solution today?"

Su Qinghui lowered his eyebrows and said: "Your Highness is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, Qinghui does not dare to trespass" Jingsheng was slightly stunned, lowered his eyes and looked at the talisman horns exposed under the book, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the Liguang Temple, Shen Liu knelt on the mat and prayed for the Buddha, and the "donor" and "master" Shen handed over the sign to the comer.

Jing Xiu took over with a solemn expression, Shen Liu walked further and asked softly: "Master, but what's wrong" Jing Xiu pondered slightly: "The house leak was rained overnight, and the boat was broken and encountered the head wind" Shen Liu asked with a vague attitude when he heard this: "Is there a way to crack it" Jing Xiu looked into her eyes and said in a fixed voice: "An can resist the rain inside, and the wind can be resisted outside." ”

"Madam, madam" Shen Liu suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the maid on the side, "The master is back" "En," Liu said lazily: "Help me up"

"Oh, that's right," Liu stopped his hand and said, "Bring the soup prepared in the room" "Yes"

"Master" "Come in" Shen Zuolong put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, stepped in front of Liu in a few steps, took the soup bowl and blamed: "Haven't you been feeling unwell recently, why are you still walking around at will, have you taken all the medicine?"

Liu Shi smiled at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and his expression became more and more gentle: "It's almost all right, the hard-working master has been so busy these days, and he still remembers the illness of the concubine in his heart" said and lowered his head slightly, with a bitter expression: "It's all because this body is not angry, and it can't help the old man, and it always makes people worry about it frequently."

Shen Zuolong stretched out his hand to support Liu's shoulder, and said in a gentle tone: "This family is already very good thanks to you." Liu chuckled, his eyebrows stretched, and he said softly: "By the way, this is the porridge I specially asked the kitchen to make, you can taste it." ”

Liu looked at Shen Zuolong, who was drinking porridge, stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea, his eyes were full of distress, and suddenly the door sounded softly.

The man in the room saluted and looked serious, Liu stood up in time to put away the dishes and chopsticks, and walked out of the door with a few words, and before he took a few steps, he heard the sound of rapid steps behind him, Liu turned his head to look, and his eyes crashed into Shen Zuolong's concerned face: "It's windy at night, put it on, rest early" After speaking, he walked back to the house quickly.

Liu Shi pinched the cloak, looked at the direction that Shen Zuolong left, and did not move, even though the cold wind beside him, but there was a burst of warmth under the cloak, and the maid on the side said: "Madam, it's time to go back" Liu turned around and walked slowly for two steps, suddenly stopped, pulled the cloak tightly and turned back and walked back, his eyebrows and eyes were full of firmness.

"Master, the recent situation should not be underestimated, the national teacher has intervened in the business flow under us, and the emperor is also under a lot of pressure" Shen Zuo solemnly sighed: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold," "And" The man frowned lightly: "The mansion has not been peaceful recently" Shen Zuolong's eyebrows tightened and he said in a low voice: "Shen Shu" "Yes".

The sound of the wind swept by, and Shen Zuolong lightly opened the window, staring at the disappearing figure with deep eyes.

"Master, in the current eventful season, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss if we rely on our strength alone" "Take a reason to send the little young master to Liu's Mansion first, and then find someone to follow Mrs." "Yes"

As soon as the early dynasty came down, officials from all walks of life talked to each other and walked out of the Guanghua Palace, Shen Zuolong saw the small servants in the mansion waiting at the bottom of the stairs from a distance, and walked quickly after saying goodbye a few words, "Master, in the mansion" Shen Zuolong swept his eyes and raised his hand to stop and whispered: "Go out and say." ”

Behind him, Jing Sheng looked at Shen Zuolong's back in a hurry, stared at the sky that was just leaping into the golden light, and whispered to Jing Rong who was standing with his hands in his hands: "The sun is going down."

Shen Zuolong sat in front of the bed, brushed aside the green silk on Liu's face, looked at her pale face and said distressedly: "Didn't you say that everything was better the day before yesterday, how about today?" After speaking, he turned his head and said to the maid in charge of the affairs beside him: "Doctor, have you come to see it, what do you say?"

"Back to the master, I've been here, I just said that my body is weak and needs to be well regulated," Before the maid finished speaking, Shen Zuolong's angry voice sounded: "This quack, conditioning has not improved for many years, Zhanming, take the card order to go to the palace to ask the imperial doctor"

Liu Shi stretched out his hand and grabbed Shen Zuolong's sleeve, and said weakly: "Master, don't bother, the old illness is difficult to get rid of, I think the wind and cold have not passed a few days ago, and it will be good to cultivate for a few days." As he spoke, he coughed incessantly, and the blood on the handkerchief grew thicker, and the room was suddenly in a panic.

Shen Zuolong looked at the sleeping Liu, and the imperial doctor Fang, who had been diagnosed for a long time and did not say a word, was anxious, and after a long time, the imperial doctor slowly got up.

Outside the door, Shen Zuolong asked softly: "Imperial Doctor Fang, how" "Lord Shen" The imperial doctor tentatively spoke: "Madame, but she was infected with a serious illness many years ago, and since then, her body has been contaminated with wind and cold" "Yes" The imperial doctor frowned: "There are people in the house who understand pharmacology" Shen Zuolong's expression stiffened, and the imperial doctor sighed and said: "A serious illness is the root of the curse, and it will become a disaster over time."

"Stop, stop, what are you doing" Fu Ding pushed away the grandmother who was protecting the lord in front of him, and shouted in a rough voice: "Get out of the way" Shen Wu reached out and pulled the struggling grandmother, stood aside without saying a word, and let the Fu Ding rummage in the house, Mama was anxious to speak: "Madam, this is plain for no reason" said Seeing Wu's indifferent eyes and pale cheeks disappeared, and his eyes turned red in an instant, they, like the blades of grass in this courtyard, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

"Madam" Liu Shi stood up and asked weakly: "How is it" The grandmother on the side put down the back pillow and leaned over and replied: "Madame, relax, everything is dealt with" "That's good, that's good" said and brushed aside the wisps of green silk scattered between the temples: "Mama, bring that bronze mirror"

Taking the bronze mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror in a daze, and suddenly said: "After so many years, it's time to get old." On the side, the grandmother carefully pressed the corners of the quilt and said slowly, "What did Mrs. say, the lord cherishes you so much, with this love, this day will always be like a girl, angry." ”

Liu Shi chuckled as if he remembered something, and his tone was long: "I think at that time, when I first met the master, he was not as prosperous as he is now. It's funny, we just met by chance, but my heart seems to be rooted, always thinking about it for no reason, even if I know that he welcomes his wife and children, I still can't let go, in order to see him, I don't hesitate to let go of my daughter's face, and beg my father to give him a hand, but he is always talented, and I dare to ask my father if he has merit in entering the official. ”

said a light cough, and his eyes changed, "It's a pity, things don't go as planned, I know that he has a wife, but I don't know that it is a deep friendship, they have affection, they have children, and I have nothing." ”

said in a fierce tone: "The child is the only thing I can hold my husband's heart as a wife, but it's a pity, it's a girl, what if my mother's family is strong, after all, I can't live for me, the life is long, who knows what will happen." I didn't dare to think that at that time, I only had one thought, to keep him, even if it was to use interests, just keep him, and only then could I have hope, I tried my best to make her bear the charge of murdering the housewife, even if the lord protected her, she would not be treated like before under pressure. ”

Liu Shihu smiled miserably: "I used my illness to exchange my husband for a long time, and I couldn't tell the truth after a long time, and I saw the master go higher and higher, maybe even he couldn't tell the difference."

Mama listened to her poignant laughter, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face was worried, and she said softly with relief: "Madam, you are tired, rest" Liu Shi called out as if he had returned to his senses: "No, now that her children are older, she bullies me when she is young, and she wants to seize power, delusional, delusional!" ”

"Shen Gongzi, please" Shen Shu took the account book handed by the shopkeeper and flipped through it casually, but somehow he was uneasy in his heart, until the little girl rushed into the room with sweat, Shen Shu's heart suddenly fell: "What's the matter" exit only to find that the voice seemed to be torn. "Something happened in the house. Second lady her. Before Xiao Xiaohua finished speaking, he saw that Shen Shu had already flown on his horse and galloped away.

"Son Shen Shu begs to see his father, son Shen Shu begs to see his father" Shen Shu knelt in the courtyard, hissing as hard as he could, and slammed on the ground like a hammer, the steward looked at Shen Zuolong, who couldn't bear it, and couldn't bear it, pushed open the door and walked to Shen Shu and explained: "Young master, go back, the wood is already in the boat, no matter who you are, you can't go back to the sky" "Father" Shen Shu spoke loudly, his voice trembled slightly: "Our mother and son have never been in peace, never exceeding the extravagance, I just hope that my father can deal with it impartially." ”

"Enough" Shen Zuolong vigorously pushed open the door, walked in front of Shen Shu, and sneered angrily: "It's a good one, your mother and son will pick the time, what, I'm not dead yet, your mother wants to pave the way for you, I tell you, this family is not your turn to call the shots, go back"

The guard next to him pulled forward, Shen Shu looked up, the dazzling sunlight hit Shen Zuolong's face, he couldn't see the face of the man in front of him clearly, and he couldn't see his heart clearly.
