Chapter Forty-Six: The Undercurrent

Zhong Lishuo and Chen Tongyi were shocked, and followed the prestige, only to see Wen Shumei standing at the door, and when they saw them, they went to the room. Chen Tongyi saw Wen Shumei and bowed. Wen Shumei flicked her sleeves, didn't look at Chen Tongyi at all, walked directly in front of Zhong Lishuo, saluted, and got up without waiting for Zhong Lishuo to answer:

"Why didn't His Highness tell me when he came back, Mei'er is so prepared." Zhong Lishuo glanced at Chen Tong, meaning that he wanted him to go first. Chen Tongyi understood, and bowed again:

"Retire first." Zhong Lishuo listened, raised his hand, and let him out.

When Chen Tong went out, Wen Shumei suddenly took a step forward, almost sticking to Zhong Lishuo, Zhong Lishuo subconsciously took a step back and touched the candlestick on the table. Zhong Lishuo was startled, and hurriedly reached out to protect the candlestick from falling, and when he turned around, he saw Wen Shumei's face that seemed to be very aggrieved. Zhong Lishuo's heart sank, he didn't know what this woman was going to do now, but he couldn't sit idly by, so he stretched out his hand to caress Wen Shu's face, and said with concern:

"What's going on? Could it be that who made you angry? Wen Shumei pouted and said coquettishly:

"Whoever can give Mei'er a good feeling, it's not all you. This walk is a few months, not to mention a letter, do you know how much Mei'er misses you? Zhong Lishuo's heart should have been warm when he heard this, but a shadow suddenly flashed in his mind, and he felt a little stunned. Such words, Chu Chen has said to him.

yes, the first dust. She is no longer called Chuchen. She is the killer of the Phantom Pavilion, she is Shangguan Hong's person, and she still wants to kill herself. Zhong Lishuo thought like this, and his heart was even more uncomfortable. Looking up at Wen Shumei's face again, a feeling of disgust suddenly rose.

Zhong Lishuo didn't know why he had such thoughts, but in addition to disgust, he felt that Wen Shumei had never been cute. Her coquettishness also has a special flavor at this moment. Zhong Lishuo began to feel annoyed, and couldn't help but withdraw the hand that was caressing Wen Shumei's face, and coughed lightly:

"It's not early. Why don't you sleep yet. Wen Shumei saw Zhong Lishuo's reaction, and thought that Zhong Lishuo also had a heart for herself, so she leaned over and hugged Zhong Lishuo's arm:

"Mei'er didn't know that His Highness had returned, and she was already ready to sleep, but suddenly she heard the people in the house say that the light in His Highness's study was on, and she didn't feel a little suspicious whether His Highness was back, so she got up to see." Zhong Lishuo listened to Wen Shumei and pulled her out. He hadn't slept in a long time, he was too tired. Now Shangguan Hong's matter has already made him anxious, and Jinse's matter is not a big blow to him. And Chen Tong's scheming made him suspicious, his heart was too tired and he didn't want to think about other things. I just want to be quiet.

Wen Shumei didn't seem to see the dissatisfaction between Zhong Lishuo's eyebrows. Since the two of them returned to the dormitory, Wen Shumei still pestered Zhong Lishuo to talk non-stop, Zhong Lishuo was indeed a little tired, and he didn't want to hear her say those useless things, so he wanted to divert her from the topic:

"You're a concubine, how are you?" Zhong Lishuo was unintentional, but he didn't want Wen Shumei to hear it, and immediately became distracted, Zhong Lishuo felt strange, so he continued to ask. Wen Shumei saw that she couldn't hide, so she said:

"A few days ago, I went into the palace to visit my mother, but I knew that my mother was not in a good mood, and I heard that the court was talking about the prince's imprisonment of the country, and I don't know who spread this word to my father's ears. My father's body has not yet healed, and he must be angry when he hears it, but he is so angry that he vomits out a mouthful of blood. When the mother rushed away, her father had already woken up, but she didn't want her father to be old after all, and he had not recovered from the previous time, so he could only be sick in bed now. ”

When Zhong Lishuo heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, he understood that he didn't have much time to think about whether there was enough evidence to bring down Shangguan Hong. If he continues to delay like this, I am afraid that he will not have time to hand over the evidence he has in his hands to the emperor. If it is really by then, the wood is already in the boat, I am afraid that he can only watch the crown prince sit on the throne and he can only sigh.

"I heard my father say that my father has not been to court for several days. Presumably, this time there is less luck. My father asked me to ask you when you were going to do it. I don't understand it, but I always know what's at stake. Hearing this, Zhong Lishuo narrowed his eyes:

"In a few days, please come and sit in the house." After speaking, he turned over and turned his back to Wen Shumei:

"It's late, you go to bed early. I'm going to greet my father tomorrow. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Lishuo felt that his waist was tightly locked by Wen Shumei, and Wen Shumei's head was pressed against his back. Such a posture made Zhong Lishuo feel extremely uncomfortable. He twisted his body, broke Wen Shumei's hand hard, and turned to face her.

How could Zhong Lishuo not understand Wen Shumei's thoughts at this time, but his heart was very chaotic and he couldn't calm down at all. At this time, he could feel the grievance in Wen Shumei's eyes. He also understood that he was indeed a little cold about Wen Shumei these days, but he didn't know why, when he saw Wen Shumei's face, he couldn't help but think of Jinse.

He felt that he still couldn't let go of Jinse, and the last time she was injured in front of him, it was all because of his relationship. If he hadn't pulled her, she wouldn't have been hurt. But he didn't want to harm her at that time, he just subconsciously wanted to protect her, and wanted to protect her behind him. But••••••

Zhong Lishuo now remembered the expression on Jinse's face when she pulled out the sword that had pierced her chest, the blush on the corners of her mouth, the anger in her eyes, and the strange smile on the corners of her lips. Now Zhong Lishuo still has a shudder when he thinks about it.

Jinse's injuries are so bad, is she still alive? Zhong Lishuo didn't know, but how much he wished that Jin Se was still alive. But he hated her. He didn't understand why Jin Se could have *** love with him, but still leave with the man named Xuan Ming.

That's right! Xuanming! The Shangguan Xuan engraved on the dagger may be Xuanming himself. Thinking about it this way, the heroic man did look a little like Shangguan Hong himself, but the words on the dagger were written in the Western Regions, which could not be explained.

The clue just now was suddenly disconnected, which made Zhong Lishuo feel very annoyed. However, the current situation is imminent, and if you want to bring Shangguan Hong down, you can't help but make a ruthless move. This is no less than a gamble, but Zhong Lishuo is now difficult to ride a tiger, and there is nothing else he can do.

Perhaps, something can be gained from the old emperors. Zhong Lishuo thought so.

The night is still so quiet, but there is a danger lurking under the calm of this surface. Zhong Lishuo felt flustered namelessly, he seemed to be unable to wait for dawn.
