Xie Chuyao came out of the shop and went directly to the palace, she first went to see the queen, but she saw that the queen looked sad and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Niangniang, Miss Xie has come to see you." Seeing that the queen was immersed in her own thoughts and did not react, the waiting palace maid couldn't help but lean into her ear and reminded her.

Only then did the queen react, she smiled at Xie Chuyao and said, "Yao'er, why are you here?" The smile was a good way to hide the heaviness of my heart.

Xie Chuyao nodded lightly and said, "Niangniang, I have something to do when I enter the palace, so I will come over to say hello to you first." "The queen is really good to her, so every time she enters the palace, she will come to greet the queen first.

The queen stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Yao'er, are you in the palace for something?" She knows that this girl won't enter the palace when she has nothing to do on weekdays, although she misses her a lot, but she doesn't often pull her into the palace to talk to her, but she has this heart, and every time she enters the palace, she will come over to see her.

Xie Chuyao asked mischievously: "Can't you go into the palace to see Niangniang if you're fine?" Come on, Yao'er come and check the pulse of Niangniang! As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to catch the queen's pulse and carefully checked the pulse.

The queen looked at her, the sadness on her face lightened, but she could still see that she was a little uneasy.

"What has been bothering Niangniang lately?" She asked with concern.

The queen looked at her for a while, and finally turned into a sigh and said, "It's okay, what can happen, I'm just worried about hearing that something has been in trouble recently." ”

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." It seems that the queen knows some things about corpses, but she doesn't know how much she knows, so it's inconvenient for her to say too much, after all, some things are very scary to say.

"Yao'er, although Cheng'er is not my own child, but over the years, I have long treated him as a son, he has a cold temperament, but he is very kind-hearted, I am also very pleased that you marry him in the future." Both of them are good children, she is naturally happy that they are together, but there are some things that she didn't say doesn't mean they don't exist, and what happened more than 20 years ago, she still did it wrong after all.

Xie Chuyao didn't expect the queen to suddenly mention this stubble, she was a little shy, lowered her head slightly, and gently chin her head and said, "Yes, Niangniang, we will be fine." ”

The queen looked at her, didn't speak again, her thoughts drifted away again, she remembered that twenty years ago, when she was still the same age as Yao'er, she was selected to enter the palace as a show girl, although her family background is innocent, but her father is a small county magistrate, she is often bullied and neglected by other women without a strong background, at that time, only Qingping was willing to befriend her and take care of her everywhere, but later, it ......

Thinking of this, her eyes were slightly red, the past has passed, but the sin will always remain in people's hearts, like a shadow that can't be shaken off, reminding her every moment that she was once so ugly.

Xie Chuyao saw that the queen was restless, as if she was troubled by something, and it was inconvenient to stay any longer, she took out a bottle of calming medicine from her sleeve and handed it to the palace maid next to her, and asked her to give it to the queen.

Thinking that she still had something to do, she left directly, but when she came to Moxuan Palace, she was told by the palace maid that Shang Jingcheng was not there, and the palace maid didn't know where it was.

She could only wait in the Moxuan Palace first, but after waiting and waiting, she fell asleep instead.

When Shang Jingcheng came back, he happened to see his beloved woman lying on the table in his inner hall sleeping soundly, and he didn't know if he slept late or not, but he slept quite deeply like that.

"Five ......" The palace maid saw that he was back, and just wanted to salute, but he was stopped very quickly, and after a silent movement on his lips, he slowly and gently walked into the inner hall, afraid that he would disturb her if he was too loud.

He walked slowly to the table and gently picked her up, but no matter how gently he moved, he woke up the person in his arms.

"You're back?" As soon as Xie Chuyao opened her eyes, she saw his face, and when she looked down, she realized that she was being held by him, she raised her face and smiled at him and said, "Let me down." ”

Shang Jingcheng said with some annoyance: "You can wake up so light." "When I saw her just now, I still felt that I was sleeping quite deeply, was my actions too rude?

"I'm just resting my eyes, and I'm not tired." As she spoke, she took his hand again and motioned for him to put himself down.

He could only sit on the edge of the bed, then sit beside her and ask, "Why are you here?" ”

"I, I just wanted to ask, did you tell the emperor about the black market?" She was really worried about the light shadow, so she rushed over.

When Shang Jingcheng heard this, the look on his face sank, and he said half-loudly: "The black market has disappeared." ”

"Disappear? What's going on? Is the people gone or what? "How could it have disappeared?

"As soon as I came back last night, I immediately went to see my father and reported to him about the black market, and my father also sent someone to check it overnight, but there was nothing but a cave, and even the corpses were gone." Shang Jingcheng's face was very heavy, he took someone there at that time, but he didn't find anyone after looking for it all night, he even asked people to block the city gate, but there was no gain.

Xie Chuyao was stunned for a moment before asking, "What about the light shadow?" Has even she disappeared? "How could they have moved so quickly? This little wind is too fast, and it's not a way to go on like this.

Shang Jingcheng shook his head and said, "I didn't find it, they should have a secret path to transfer, otherwise they wouldn't have disappeared all at once like this!" As he spoke, he glanced at her, and seeing that her face was full of worry, he shook her hand and said, "Yao'er, don't worry, I'll find the light shadow." ”

"What are you talking about?!" Qing Cang's voice came from the door, his face full of disbelief, what did he just hear? Shadow, is she back? But why don't you come to him when you come back?

Shang Jingcheng saw Qing Cang come in, and was silent for a while before saying, "Qing Cang, don't get excited, sit down, and I'll talk to you about it." He knew that when he came across a light shadow, he would not be like himself.

Qing Cang just stepped forward quickly and said, "Master, just tell me what you said, what did I hear just now?" Do you see a light shadow? When? Where is she now? He still couldn't accept that she was coming back and not coming to him.

Xie Chuyao stepped forward and said, "Qingcang, we did encounter a light shadow in the black market last night, and the situation at that time was too dangerous, so I didn't tell you about it......

"Master, is what she said true? You saw a light shadow last night? There was a faint anger in Qing Cang's voice.

Shang Jing looked at him steadily, "Yes." He wasn't afraid that he would blame himself, because the situation was too dangerous, and if he had told him, he would have rushed in, and there would be only one way out.

"Then why didn't you tell me that it was my woman and what happened to her in there?" Qing Cang's hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and if the man in front of him was not his master, he would definitely beat him up.

Xie Chuyao glanced at Shang Jingcheng, then at Qing Cang, and said with a worried face: "Qing Cang, you calm down first, the situation at that time was too dangerous, the black market was full of corpses, in order to save me and Shang Jingcheng, Qingying used herself to threaten Xiao Feng, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to escape, so we didn't dare to let you go in and take risks, those cannibalistic things will eat you!" ”

"I'm not afraid! Have you ever thought about the fate of the light shadow? Xiaofeng is ruthless, how could he let her go! Although Qing Cang couldn't see anything on his face, his tone was all anxious, he was very worried about the light shadow, he was very worried about her.

Shang Jingcheng pressed his shoulder and said, "I just thought about it, that's why I can't let you in, and if Xiaofeng sees you go in to find a light shadow, she won't let her go." The young man's eyes were full of possessiveness towards the light shadow, and he didn't know it.

Xie Chuyao sat on the chair very heavily, and said in a low tone: "Qingcang, we are also worried about light shadows, so Shang Jingcheng asked the emperor to send troops to search the black market as soon as he came back, but there was nothing." Her voice was so anxious that she was almost crying.

Of course, Qing Cang knew about the emperor's dispatch of troops last night, and he was also in there at the time, but there was no light shadow there, not even a trace of her.

"Master, I was excited just now, and my subordinates went down first." He had to go find her right away.

Shang Jingcheng stopped his way and said, "Don't mess up, now the entire Kyoto City is searching, and the light shadow will definitely be found." He believed that Xiaofeng would not kill Qingying so easily.

Qing Cang just hugged his fist, and then flew out as if he was sparing his side. Met Dali Siqing head-on and almost knocked someone over, if he didn't stay for a moment, he ran out with a black face.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Li Wang pointed at him and shouted, but the man had already run away, so he could only quickly step into the inner hall and ask, "What kind of nerves does Qingcang have?" Why did he run so fast, as if something was chasing him. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Xie Chuyao sitting on the side, and he immediately came to her with a smile like a flower and said, "Doctor Xie, why did you come to the palace, let me tell you, I recognize all the medicinal materials, I'll tell you about it!" With that, he sat down across from her.

Shang Jingcheng squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"What else can I do, apprentice!" Li Wang stared at him as if you were stupid.

Xie Chuyao waved his hand and said, "I'm not in the mood today, let's go to the general's mansion to find me another day, Shang Jingcheng, I'll go first." "She's full of light shadows now, where is she in the mood to accept apprentices?

Li Wang looked at her back as she walked away, and asked a little uncertainly, "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Don't you know how to refuse? Stop bothering her! After Shang Jingcheng dropped this sentence, he chased after him.

Li Wang touched his nose and thought to himself, it seems that he has been pestering her too tightly in recent days, which has made her bored!
