Song Zelan snuggled in his arms, sleeping quietly and meekly, like a tired little lamb, and only in the safe haven of his arms could he find a trace of comfort.

A cold breeze blew her body, and the hair on her sideburns slid down to her mouth, Shi Wei reached over and gently put the green silk behind her ear for her.

In her sleep, she seemed to feel the delicacy from her face, and her face rubbed gently, instinctively grinding his palm.

An itchy feeling came from the palm of his hand, Shi Wei's heart shook slightly, and he couldn't help lowering his head and kissing her lightly on the forehead.

Suddenly, there was a movement in his ears.

It's the sound of paddling.

Shi Wei was already very alert, not to mention that on this isolated island in the dead of night, even the slightest sound around him could not escape his ears.

He jerked up his head and searched for the voice, but saw that there seemed to be a faint light on the surface of the lake shrouded in night, swaying not far from the lake.

It's a boat!

Shi Wei opened his mouth and wanted to scream, but he was afraid of alarming Song Zelan, who was sleeping soundly.

And just as he hesitated, the boats in the lake seemed to notice that he had noticed it, and the sound of paddling sounded again, and the light of the star soon moved away from the island in the lake.

At this time, Shi Wei understood that the ship was most likely sent by Empress Song to monitor the two of them, and no matter how much he shouted, it would be useless.

Shi Wei smiled bitterly, and the surname Suo didn't look at it anymore, closed his eyes, hugged the beautiful woman in his arms, and gradually fell asleep.

The ship sailed to the other side of the trestle, where the Empress Song was sitting around the fire.

As soon as she saw the boat returning, Empress Song anxiously asked how the two on the island were.

The eunuch who was watching told Queen Song how the two of them made a fire and how they hugged each other to keep warm.

Queen Song smiled when she heard this, and muttered: "It's okay now, with this night's relationship, this good thing between the two of them will definitely come true." ”

"A few of you, pay close attention to those two people in the palace, and if you see anything unusual about them, go to the West Palace immediately to report it."

Queen Song confessed, but she couldn't stand the night breeze by the lake, so she drove back to the West Palace with a satisfied smile.

In this way, Shi Wei spent an unforgettable night in the swishing cold wind.

When Shi Wei opened his eyes, it was already dawn.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and when his consciousness was slightly clear, he suddenly found that Song Zelan beside him was gone.

Shi Wei was taken aback, jumped up and swept around, but there was no trace of her.

"What about her, could it be that she accidentally rolled into the lake in the middle of the night?"

Shi Wei's heart suddenly swelled with a chill, and he hurriedly ran to the shore to search for Song Zelan's traces, and opened his mouth to shout: "Miss Song, Miss Song-"

"I'm here." A clear voice came from behind him.

Shi Weimeng looked back and looked up, only to find that Song Zelan was standing on the high platform on the third floor and admiring it.

Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief and also climbed the high platform.

"When I woke up just now and didn't see you, I thought you were in the water, which really scared me." Shi Wei's face palpitated.

Song Zelan looked at him and smiled: "What, are you really so worried about me?" ”

Shi Wei said: "Miss Song stays with me, if you make a mistake, I can't afford to take this responsibility." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Song Zelan's eyes, and she sighed: "Are you just afraid of taking responsibility......

Of course, Shi Wei knew what she meant, but since he had already spoken yesterday, he had to pay more attention to his words and deeds, and for the sake of the overall situation, he could only break her heart at this time.

So Shi Wei pretended not to know what she meant, held the canopy in his hand and looked at the rising Xu, and said happily: "I didn't expect it to be so beautiful here, it seems that the messy wind this night is worth it." ”

The morning glow sprinkles on the face, and the faint warmth makes people feel at ease.

Song Zelan also walked out of the loss, cheered up, and said with a smile: "Yes, this sunrise is really beautiful, why haven't I ever paid attention to it in the past." ”

The two of them stood side by side on the high platform of this isolated island, enjoying the scenery of the rising morning glow and the morning breeze caressing the clear lake, and the young face was full of happy smiles, as if he had forgotten what happened yesterday.

Suddenly, Song Zelan pointed to the distance and shouted, "Shi Gongzi, look over there, is the boat coming to pick us up?" ”

Shi Wei looked for what she was looking for, and sure enough, he saw a flat boat, slowly heading towards the isolated island.

"She must have come to pick us up, it seems that the queen mother didn't plan to trap us here."

There was a hint of irony in Shi Wei's words, and he was already thinking about how to deal with the difficult Empress Song after landing on the shore.

Song Zelan heard the dissatisfaction of his words, so she said apologetically: "Actually, Niangniang is also very kind, I hope that Shi Gongzi will not worry about it anymore, the matter between you and me, after I go ashore, I will definitely explain it to Niangniang." ”

Shi Wei understood what she meant, and there were no more complaints.

After a while, the boat came to the island, and the two of them got on the boat together.

As soon as he landed ashore, before Shi Wei could speak, Song Zelan first started his temper, took out the grandeur of Houmen's daughter and the queen's niece, and scolded the eunuchs in charge of the trestle ships.

The leading eunuch hurriedly nodded and apologized, claiming that yesterday was the dereliction of duty of the eunuch in charge of the ship, and he had been severely punished by the queen's order.

"Forget it, since Niangniang has taught them a lesson, let's not worry about them." Shi Wei knew that this was the queen's order, and this group of eunuchs was also acting on orders, so it was not interesting to be honest with them.

Song Zelan also pretended to be annoyed on the surface, and as soon as Shi Wei took a ladder next to her, she stepped down the stage.

The two left the trestle and separated, Shi Wei left the palace and returned home, and Song Zelan went to the West Palace again.

As soon as she entered the door, Queen Song retreated from the left and right, and asked excitedly: "Lan'er, how did you get along with that Shi Aiqing yesterday?" ”

Song Zelan's face showed shame, and she complained with a smile: "Niangniang, how did you come up with such a bizarre method, does Niangniang know that if it wasn't for Lord Shi drilling wood to make a fire yesterday, my niece and he might have frozen to death on that island." ”

"Auntie, I'm not doing this for your own good, in fact, I have already sent someone to keep an eye on the surroundings, if there is something wrong with you, I will naturally take you back." Empress Song stroked her hand, her face a little apologetic.

Song Zelan sighed and fell silent.

Empress Song's excited expression immediately became nervous again, and asked, "Lan'er, if you have experienced yesterday's ordeal, then Shi Wei is still ...... to you?"

Before she finished speaking, Song Zelan sighed: "Niangniang's kindness, Lan'er understands, but I'm afraid this matter can't go as Niangniang wants." ”

Empress Song was taken aback and hurriedly asked why.

Song Zelan couldn't refuse, so she had to truthfully relay the incident that Shi Wei told her to Queen Song.

After hearing this, Empress Song frowned and pondered for a moment, and sneered: "Shi Wei was also forced by others to make that ridiculous marriage contract, and I will make another decree another day to make him destroy the marriage contract." ”

Song Zelan's expression changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "Niangniang must not be like this, Lord Shi is a person who abides by the promise, if Niangniang forcibly makes him break the contract, even if he is forced to marry me in the end, he will definitely resent me for the rest of his life." ”

Song Zelan persuaded her bitterly and begged Queen Song not to persecute Shi Wei.

When Empress Song listened to this, her face suddenly showed a strange expression, and she said suspiciously: "Lan'er, could it be that you have already fallen in love with this Shi Wei?" ”

Song Zelan was stunned, bowed her head and said nothing, her face was quietly flushed.

Her expression was tantamount to acquiescence.

Queen Song was quite surprised in her heart, she originally wanted to just hold a political purpose to match this marriage, but she didn't expect that in just a short period of time, her niece really liked Shi Wei.

She couldn't understand what kind of charm Shi Wei had that could attract her precious niece so much.

Quietly, Empress Song had a strong interest in Shi Wei, and there was a strong ** in her heart, wanting to understand this young imperial doctor more progressively.

Surprised for a moment, Empress Song's expression became even more determined, "I didn't expect Lan'er that you really like him, that aunt has to recruit Shi Wei for your lifelong happiness." ”

"Auntie-" Song Zelan became frightened again, thinking that Empress Song still had to rely on the queen's authority and do the thing that persecuted Shi Wei.

Queen Song's hand waved, signaling Song Zelan not to speak.

Song Zelan, who had to be silenced, watched Queen Song pacing in front of her with uneasiness, just afraid that she would make some "excessive" moves.

After a while, Empress Song showed a sly smile, "Shi Yuanzhi said that he refused to break the contract, this is not easy to do, this palace has its own way, let that disciple surnamed Mu take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage." ”

Hearing these smug words, Song Zelan's heart was shocked, and her expression was shocked, but she inadvertently flashed a glimmer of hope.

…………………………………… After Shi Wei returned home that day, he casually made up an excuse to explain why he didn't return overnight, and then fell asleep.

In the next nearly half a month, the queen never announced him to the palace again, and Song Zelan never met again.

On the surface of all kinds of signs, Song Zelan probably has told Queen Song about his distress, and most likely she has persuaded her aunt to stop pestering Shi Wei.

Shi Wei finally settled down, and thought that the queen's matter was a smooth turn, and then he should think about how to deal with Zhao Pu's side.

When he came back from the official office, he heard that Mu Yu had been promoted from Hedong to Luoyang, thinking that he hadn't seen him for a long time, he went straight to Mu Mansion as soon as he finished his errand.

"Brother Wei, you're here."

As soon as he heard that Shi Wei was coming to the door, Mu Guiying, who was practicing martial arts, greeted him like a bird.

Since the end of the Northern Expedition and the end of the Puppet Han War, Shi Wei returned Gui Ying to Mu Yu, all kinds of things have happened one after another, and he has not come to visit Gui Ying for a long time.

When he watched Gui Ying running from the other side of the courtyard like a bird, and when he ran, his chest was shaking up and down, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly.

Only then did he remember that the child's Gui Ying was quietly leaving, and this little girl had entered the adolescence of girlhood.
