Chapter 16: The First Move
Hua Qing's face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly knelt down, "Lord Wang-"
"Hibiscus is your master, even if she is wrong, it will not be your turn to reprimand. Look at you, you are obviously a guard, dressed more decently than the master, and you are still like this in front of this king, you can imagine how she is embarrassed behind the scenes. β
"My subordinates don't." Hua Qing only felt aggrieved and embarrassed, and tears flowed down her cheeks unobediently.
Shen Wenjiang didn't expect things to turn out like this.
This prince changed his face a little faster, and he knelt down together and helped Hua Qing, "Lord Wang, it's not like this, Hua Qing and her subordinates are like sisters, and she is used to joking in private, and she is also for my good." When King Yuan killed me that night, she tried her best to save me. β
"Hmph, she's a guard, shouldn't she save you?" King Yi disagreed, got up and walked to Shen Wenjiang, personally helped her up, and changed his gentle face, "A few days ago, this king couldn't leave because of something, so I didn't come to see you, you weren't angry." β
Shen Wenjiang was speechless for a while, unable to understand what kind of medicine was sold in this Yiwang gourd.
He knew that Hua Qing liked him, but he still defended and connived at him in front of her.
Doesn't he know that once a woman becomes jealous, she has no reason at all.
Isn't he really worried that once the two don't get along, it will inevitably affect his "big plan"......
At this moment, Shen Wenjiang didn't have to look at it at all, and she knew that Hua Qing's face would not look good, but she couldn't do anything, so she had to let it go.
On the way back, Hua Qing kept a cold face and didn't talk to her.
Shen Wenjiang wanted to ease the atmosphere, but she was not good at speaking, and she couldn't come up with a suitable word after thinking about it for a long time, so she had to be silent.
At this time, Shuofeng Lou has already been lit up, the lights are bright everywhere, the traffic is busy under the rotten light and shadow, the voices are boiling, the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant, in addition to the fragrance of flowers in the air, it is also mixed with the smell of women's rouge gouache, the smell of men's sweat, and the fragrance of food.
When she was about to arrive at the Mirage Garden, Hua Qing suddenly stopped and said to her: "The girl should go in by herself, her subordinates want to walk by herself." β
"Okay." Shen Wenjiang didn't think about it, so he responded, and told again: "Come back early and pay attention to rest." β
Hua Qing hummed as a reply, and then turned around and left.
Shen Wenjiang smiled silently, and turned on the path back to the mirage garden alone.
Different from the hustle and bustle outside, this trail is winding and quiet, and it is a passage that belongs to the mirage.
Although Hua Qing annoyed her, she still remembered her duty and sent her here before leaving.
They are all in the rain in the garden, and they are safe.
Shen Wenjiang also felt the same way, so he walked carelessly, and he kept thinking about King Yi in his heart.
Although she had only met once, she was sure that this man's plan was not simple.
Among the three neighboring countries of He, Ping, and Jin in the eastern border of Daqian, the country of peace is undoubtedly the strongest, and the country of peace is only a little better than that of Jin.
In the past, relations between Pingguo and Daqian had always been friendly, and although there were several small-scale conflicts between the two countries on the border, they were eventually resolved peacefully.
This King Yi, she really hadn't heard of it in her previous life......
Walking slowly and thinking, a strong wind suddenly hit behind him, and at the same time, there was a flower in front of him, and a fine powder was sprinkled on his face, and he instantly inhaled a few traces of strange fragrance in his nose.
Shen Wenjiang suddenly felt weak, and subconsciously dodged to the side.
The man seemed to know her path and intercepted her first.
Shen Wenjiang was startled, and before he could ease his senses, he felt a chill on his neck, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a sharp blade across it.
"Don't talk!" The man shouted in a hoarse voice.
Shen Wenjiang didn't say anything and stood still.
The man dragged her into the shadows of the nearby flowers.
Taking her away instead of killing her immediately means that this person will not take her life for the time being.
Thinking about this, Shen Wenjiang quickly calmed down = calmed down, and cooperated with her to tie herself into a zongzi.
"Shen Wenjiang, hello wow."
As soon as the masked man in front of him opened his mouth and resumed his original tone, Shen Wenjiang knew who she was.
"You're so wow, Shen Yu." Shen Wenjiang said lightly, calling this name that originally belonged to him but had not been mentioned for many years, and the feeling in his heart was very subtle.
Eventually, they met, in this way.
"You're not surprised?" Shen Yu said in surprise, and smiled again after speaking, "Uh, yes, this identity is much better than mine, at least she is also the eldest lady of the Assassin Family, unlike me, a little orphan girl without a father and a mother." β
"I'd like to get it back." Shen Wenjiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's a pity, I can't." β
Shen Yu's heart moved when he heard this, "Then you tell me, what are the benefits of this identity?" β
Shen Wenjiang shook his head again, "No." has no father and no mother, sends people under the fence, lives lonely and angry, and the evening scene is sad. β
"Then why do you want to change it back?"
Shen Wenjiang sighed, "No matter what, it's also your own." β
These words seemed to reach Shen Yu's heart, and she also sighed, and said in a somewhat lost tone: "Yes, no matter how good or bad, it is your own after all." β
"Then we'll be fine." Shen Wenjiang was anxious to get out and followed her words.
Almost immediately, Shen Yu saw her intentions, "You want to goβit's not that easy." β
"And what do you want?"
"At least, you have to tell me if there is any other, well, special relationship between this Shen Yu and Ji Nancheng."
Hearing this, Shen Wenjiang's heart was sour and astringent.
It was the last question she wanted to answer.
"Is there any?" Seeing that she was silent, Shen Yu couldn't help but ask again.
Shen Wenjiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "No." β
"Impossible." Shen Yu replied quickly, with surprise in his eyes.
Shen Wenjiang couldn't help but think about it carefully.
In her previous life, Shen Yu's entire girlhood was almost spent in admiration for the son, but she hid her thoughts so deeply that even the maids who were always by her side didn't know.
As for the son, it is even more impossible to know.
And at that time, the prince was not often in the Hou Mansion, and he rarely went to the backyard.
However, the man in front of her asked her this question at such a favorable time.
Obviously, for her, this question is important.
I thought that in my previous life, Shen Yu didn't come to Shuofeng Island, but this time she came.
It's rare that the prince is willing to bring her here......
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Yu said to himself: "Could it be that he likes you unilaterally, and you don't like him." β
Shen Wenjiang: ......
I really don't know where she got her confidence.
"Uh, by the way, you went to see the prince tonight, but you didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, right?"
There was a sense of caution in the words.
It seems that she is really nervous about her lord.
Shen Wenjiang didn't laugh at her.
In a way, the two of them are actually the same people.
"Nope. Now you can let me go, if the prince knows that I am being held hostage......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Yu, "If you want to die, don't pull me." Then he threw her a knife, and the man sped away.
It took a lot of effort for Shen Wenjiang to break the rope and rescue himself.
Sure enough, this Shen Yu is not a simple character.
