Chapter 45: Worship
"Have you heard? Tomorrow the prince is going to Linyin Tower to listen to music!"
"I've heard, I've heard! Didn't you see Sister Su Yue and that Fourth Miss Zhang starting to prepare early in the morning?"
"I don't know if it's for the palace banquet, the prince won't come here on weekdays. ”
In the Linyin Building, the musicians talked with great interest. There was a lot less of a mess, and I didn't know what I was planning.
When the steward heard this, he waved his hand at a few people, "Okay, what should I do, what should I do, the princess only came yesterday, if you don't practice well, you won't be able to enter the palace and show your face." ”
The musicians laughed and answered, and their steps were cheerful when they left.
"I don't know what the princess is thinking, I didn't say yesterday that the prince would come over......," the steward muttered for a while.
Originally, yesterday she discussed with Shen Xizhi that she couldn't let the people in Linyin Building continue to make trouble, so Shen Xizhi proposed to let them compete, and whoever is better will use whomever tune.
It's just that I didn't expect that this night had passed, and it was rumored that King Yu was going to go with him.
The steward was anxious, afraid that he would lose his job if he did not do well.
Shen Xizhi on the other side also felt strange. As soon as she learned that Jiang Jingyu would also go to Linyin Building tomorrow, she went to ask a few words in person, but Jiang Jingyu entered the palace a moment ago and let her run away in vain.
"The princess stayed. Just when Shen Xizhi was about to go back, Wei He suddenly appeared, "The prince ordered, let his subordinates escort the princess out of the palace, and the prince will wait for you outside the capital." ”
Shen Xizhi didn't know why, and while following Wei He out, he inquired about the situation, "The prince didn't go to the palace, why are you waiting for me outside the capital?"
Wei He led a team of people to escort him on horseback, and Wen Ru accompanied Shen Xizhi to sit in the carriage, for no reason, Shen Xizhi felt a little weird.
"The prince did not disclose the specific matters. Wei He blocked Shen Xizhi's question with such a sentence.
Since she became Princess Yu, this is the first time that Shen Xizhi has gone out with great fanfare, she opened the curtain and glanced at it, and the guards led by Wei He were all dressed in light armor and had sharp blades at their waists. The whole body exudes a murderous aura.
Isn't it a bit of a fuss to use these people to escort yourself?
Shen Xizhi furrowed his eyebrows. Amid the sound of horses' hooves, the group gradually left the city.
The autumn wind blew the yellow leaves, and the carriages and horses of the Yuwang Mansion swaggered through the market, and were seen by various forces in the capital.
"Your Highness, your subordinates have not been able to find out ......" The deliberately lowered voice made it difficult to hear clearly.
"Waste. The man's voice came from behind the screen, "It's just a weak woman, and you can't help her." ”
The man in black retorted: "Your Highness forgives the sin, it is really the Yuwang Mansion that is heavily guarded, and the subordinates dare not venture in." ”
The man's angry voice came, followed by the sound of the cup breaking, "If those things are not destroyed for a day, the main hall will not be able to sleep and eat for a day." The order went down, and today, he robbed and killed Shen Xizhi outside Beijing. ”
"Yes!" the man in black came and went without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
"The Shen family...... Shen Xizhi ......" someone sighed lightly behind the screen, "Even if Jiang Jingyu protects you, when you die, the Shen family will have no more life, even if he Jiang Jingyu finds out those things, it will not help." ”
The carriage shook slightly, and Shen Xizhi woke up from a light sleep. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Wen Ru lightly lifting the curtain and looking in.
"Is the princess awake?" Wen Ru got a wet handkerchief from nowhere and handed it to Shen Xizhi, "Wipe your face quickly, wake up, the prince has arrived." ”
"It turned out that I was asked to wait for him, not for him to wait for me. Shen Xizhi wiped his face and shivered with coldness.
After getting out of the carriage, Shen Xizhi found that Wei He and those guards had disappeared, and not far away, Jiang Jingyu was standing there, as if he was looking at her, but not like he was looking at her.
"God is mysterious. Walking up to him in the autumn wind, Shen Xizhi said, "I don't know what the prince is going to do?"
"Take you somewhere. After Wen Ru brought the cloak for Shen Xizhi, Jiang Jingyu spoke.
At this time, just after Shenshi, the sun was getting west, and Shen Xizhi followed him for a while only to find that Wen Ru did not follow. Instead, he waved at her from afar in the open space where the carriage was kept.
Wei He, who originally didn't know where he went, also appeared out of thin air, and now Wen Ru was not far behind him.
A gust of wind blew her eyes, she accidentally stepped on a stone, and subconsciously grabbed Jiang Jingyu's hand when her body was tilted to the side.
That hand was covered with a thin callus, large and warm.
It was Jiang Jingyu, who was killed by her twenty-three times, and was resented by her.
Shen Xizhi seemed to have touched a piece of charcoal, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and turned to look at the scenery casually, "At this time, the autumn is high and cool, and it is suitable for travel." ”
Looking at the gloomy eyes, Shen Xizhi praised with difficulty, "Although there is no scenery of spring and summer flowers, the falling trees are also unique." ”
Jiang Jingyu glanced at her stingily, and seemed to see her embarrassment, so he gave a rare explanation, "The Shen family was raided and destroyed, and no one dared to take the corpses, so this king helped you collect the corpses for them and found a secluded place to bury them." ”
He wanted to tell Shen Xizhi tactfully, but the words blurted out did not carry a trace of emotion. This made him frown, a little upset.
Shen Xizhi was stunned for a while, remembering that he was already a poor little man with a broken family. She felt that the wind was a little strong, and her eyes were foggy.
"So that's the case, I thought ......" I thought that the corpses of my family had long been exposed to the wilderness, and I don't know what jackals, tigers and leopards took away.
At the beginning, she didn't think about collecting corpses for her family, but her body like that couldn't do without Jiang Jingyu at all. She didn't think she had the face to ask Jiang Jingyu to help collect the body......
But in fact, what she wanted to do but didn't do, Jiang Jingyu actually did it.
Not only did she kill this man many times, but she owed him a lot......
"It's here. Jiang Jingyu stopped, the sun was like blood on the horizon, and the dozens of newly erected graves were silent in the wailing of crows.
"It's here. Shen Xizhi sighed softly, she thought she would cry, but when she saw the incense, candles, and paper money placed next to her, she didn't have a single tear.
She felt strange, and her heart was sullen and painful, but not very sad.
"027, what's wrong with me, why am I not so sad?"
So she could only be silent, and after worshipping her family, she still kept silent and followed Jiang Jingyu away.
Halfway through, the back of Shen Xizhi's hand was accidentally cut by a branch, she looked at the bright red on the back of her hand, and tears fell suddenly. She stretched out her hand to show Jiang Jingyu.
"Lord, look, I'm crying. ”
"It's ugly. Jiang Jingyu frowned and looked at her, she cried and laughed, as if she wanted to cry out all the unwillingness and struggle in her body.
