Late at night.

Xie Jieyou lay on the bed and stared at the beams of the room, unable to close his eyes for a long time, his mind was a little confused.

The inexplicable topographic map of the capital on the desk, the information of the location that has been moved...... He didn't want to associate all this with Chen Yunling, but the only person who came to his study yesterday was Chen Yunling.

These days, he seems to subconsciously trust the woman named Chen Yunling, he always thinks of her, as long as he thinks of her smile, he will have a trace of sweetness. But he forgot that she was his Ling Lady and the concubine of the Chen Mansion.

Xie Jieyou suddenly realized, could it be that the beautiful atmosphere created by getting along these days was all out of planning? Thinking of this, Xie Jieyou felt a chill in his heart. He forced himself to close his eyes and enter the dream, but as soon as he closed his eyes, Chen Yunling's smiling face flashed in his mind.

"Damn it!" Xie Jieyou cursed softly: "What is the origin of this damn woman, and what is her purpose!" ”

Xie Jieyou was irritable in her heart, got up and walked to the desk, unfolded the drawings, and observed them carefully, trying to find clues from the drawings.

Although this topographical map of the capital is sketchy, the iconic locations are marked, and the locations related to Xie Jieyou's actions are also drawn in detail.

How could a woman who had lived in the boudoir for a long time know so much about the terrain of the capital? And how do you know those secret locations? Is it a coincidence or a strategy? Xie Jieyou raised his hand and patted his head, which was about to explode, racking his brains to find a reason that could convince him to believe Chen Yunling.

Before you know it, the sun rises, and the faint light enters the room and gently sprinkles on the table.

Sleepless nights.

"Knock knock."

A few soft sounds pulled Xie Jieyou back to reality from his contemplation.

"Lord Shizi, it's time to wash up."

"Got it." Xie Jieyou reluctantly answered, raised his hand and pressed his temple.

"Lord Shizi, the water is here, please let the slave serve you to wash."

Xie Jieyou was stunned, didn't he ask his subordinates to put the water outside the door, when did the washing master need his subordinates to serve?

Maybe I didn't sleep all night, my mind was a little confused, I heard it wrong. "Leave it outside the door." Xie Jieyou simply won a sentence and continued to close his eyes and press his head, ignoring it no more, and the room was quiet for a moment.

Suddenly, there was a sound of rustling footsteps in the room that broke the silence, Xie Jieyou frowned, and said sharply: "Didn't you say that you put it outside, what are you going to do when you come in, go out!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a pair of hands covered Xie Jieyou's hands, gently pressing his fingers, and the temperature of the fingertips was transmitted to Xie Jieyou's hands.

Xie Jieyou paused, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he backhanded those hands.

"Master, you hurt your concubine." A familiar tone came from my ears.

Xie Jieyou hurriedly let go of her clenched hands and looked straight at the delicate person beside her.

I saw Chen Yunling dressed in white, with a delicate face slightly powdered, and the green silk was curled up with a plain hosta, standing beside Xie Jieyou, bowing his head slightly, with a little laziness after waking up in the morning.

Xie Jieyou looked a little stunned.

"Master, have you seen enough?" Chen Yunling asked jokingly.

Xie Jieyou nodded stunned, making Chen Yunling smile.

Hearing this crisp laughter, Xie Jieyou came to his senses, helped his forehead, and changed into his usual calm and serious face.

Seeing that Xie Jieyou's expression became serious, Chen Yunling couldn't play and joke anymore, and coughed lightly twice to ease the embarrassment.

"What are you going to do?" Xie Jieyou's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.

Chen Yunling was stunned, as if things were not going according to her expectations? Didn't it help him?

"The concubine came to see if the master found out that the concubine was a gift for you."

"Oh? Gift? Xie Jieyou raised her eyebrows and asked, "I wonder if Madame's so-called gift wants to surprise or frighten me?" Or is it ...... Dangerous? ”

Dangerous? Chen Yunling thought for a while, and suddenly understood what Xie Jieyou meant.

"It seems that the master has found out." Chen Yunling smiled lightly, turned around and made a pot of tea for Xie Jieyou.

The tea leaves float up and down in the water, with a slight lightness.

Chen Yunling looked at the tea leaves in the teacup and said softly: "Master, you see, we are born as human beings, we don't look like the tea leaves in this cup rise and fall?" ”

Xie Jieyou frowned when he heard this, but did not answer.

"Everything happens because of the cause." Chen Yunling continued to say to herself: "Lord has seen the topographic map of the capital drawn by the concubine, I guess you must be surprised, how can I, a woman in the boudoir, know so much about the capital." ”

Xie Jieyou stared at Chen Yunling intently, as if she wanted to see through her heart.

"Ye knows, the concubine's brother is addicted to money, and the concubine's family has always been patriarchal, so the concubine can only go out to make money for her fun, until the concubine is lucky enough to marry you to escape this life." Chen Yunling's eyes suddenly revealed a hint of coolness, and he turned to Xie Jieyou and chuckled: "Do you know why the concubine knows so much about this capital?" ”

Xie Jieyou and Chen Yunling looked at each other.

"The first half of the concubine's life is like this floating tea, rising and falling, fluttering. Although she can also be called a lady of the government, the concubine has not been loved by her parents since she was a child, and she has been going around in this big capital, and there have been traces of the concubine's past everywhere in the capital. By chance, the concubine was lost in the wilderness of the capital, and there was not much left of the only entanglement on her body. In this big capital, the concubine doesn't know where to go, the time is good, the concubine will stay in one place for a while, if you are not good, the concubine can only find the next place to stay. went around and around like this, walking half of the capital, until the family found the concubine, and the concubine knew the capital very well. ”

"Then why are you looking at my desk? And why, do you know so much about what I'm going to lay out? Xie Jieyou's tone calmed down after hearing this.

Chen Yunling was stunned, and thought silently in his heart, I can't tell you, in fact, I have everything in your future in my hands!

Chen Yunling's mind spun quickly, and said with a smile: "The concubine feels that the master is tired until late at night every night, and he doesn't rest until late, and the concubine wants to help the master do what he can." As for your layout...... It was the concubine who learned by chance"

"What can you do? Got it by chance? Xie Jieyou raised her eyebrows, and her tone became cold again: "But Madame has already learned of my plan, and deliberately searched for it and drew this topographic map for me?" ”

"Is Ye suspicious of the concubine? If you suspect the concubine, it will be bad for you" Chen Yunling looked at Xie Jieyou calmly.

"Then our warmth in the past few days, what the concubine has done for you recently, is the warmth left behind all false?" Chen Yunling hid tears in the corners of her eyes, this is her true feeling, she wants to help but is not understood. said softly: "The concubine doesn't dare to say that I never wanted to hurt you, but at least from the past few days of getting along, I really want to help you." ”

Xie Jieyou looked at the tears in the corners of Chen Yunling's eyes, and stretched out her hand to help her caress them, but Chen Yunling did turn around and avoid them.

"The concubine knows what the master is worried about." Chen Yunling wiped away her tears, glanced back at Xie Jieyou, and said calmly: "Ye is worried, the Xie family is in trouble." Indeed, now it seems that the Xie family is indeed in danger......"

"What did you say!" Without waiting for Chen Yunling to finish speaking, Xie Jieyou got up and grabbed Chen Yunling's shoulder, with a rare urgency in his tone.

"Chen Yunling, your origin is really not simple, even the Xie family is afraid that there is danger, you can expect it, you tell me, what else do you don't know about the things in this world?" Xie Jieyou tightly grasped Chen Yunling's eyes and stared at her, trying to see through her heart.

Chen Yunling stroked Xie Jieyou's hand, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Now I am afraid that I will not believe it anymore." It is true that I know a lot of things, but my identity is definitely not as dangerous as you think. I'm not an undercover agent of the Xie family. And if you want to help the Xie family get out of danger, my help is indispensable. ”

"You know so many things you shouldn't know, it's hard for me to believe." Xie Jieyou intentionally or unintentionally avoided Chen Yunling's eyes. At this time, he didn't know whether to trust this mysterious woman or not, and his heart always told him to believe in her and believe in her......

If it was just about his success or failure, he could put everything down and block it for the people in front of him, but he couldn't use the fate of the entire Xie family as a bet on this nascent emotional bud.

"Actually, the concubine knows much more than that. Take this topographic map as an example, the concubine could have drawn a brief drawing directly to avoid suspicion, but the concubine must draw everything she knows so that the master can believe me. Chen Yunling's tone was extremely firm: "No matter what, the concubine is a person who can be trusted." After getting along with each other these days, the concubine body has decided that she will help the lord to complete the great cause. ”

After hearing this, a trace of joy flashed in Xie Jieyou's heart.

"So, you are willing to stand by my side for me?" Xie Jieyou asked tentatively.

Chen Yunling looked at Xie Jieyou's surprised expression and smiled sweetly, this little tsundere is really cute. Chen Yunling squinted his eyes and nodded, not denying it.

Xie Jieyou lowered his head and smirked, and instantly became serious again.

"Then since you have said so, I have no longer blindly doubted your reasoning." Xie Jieyou paused and continued: "As for what you mentioned before, between us, what we have experienced in the past few days......"

"Master doesn't need to say anything, the concubine understands." Chen Yunling interrupted Xie Jieyou's words and smiled: "The concubine will definitely do her best to help the prince complete your great cause." ”

After speaking, Chen Yunling stopped lingering, stroked his clothes and saluted and left.

The prince of the world? Xie Jieyou smiled helplessly, it seemed that he had made his wife angry. But this matter is extraordinary, there are still a lot of things involved, he can't take risks, and he doesn't want to see Chen Yunling in danger, although ...... He also really looked at what kind of person Chen Yunling was, and he always felt that his wife seemed to be a different person, and she was no longer the previous Mrs. Ling.

"Chen Yunling, then let me see who you are." There was a shallow smile on the corner of Xie Jieyou's mouth.

This game of chess is finally the first step to make a decision.
