The candles in the room were flickering, and the palace maid who was keeping vigil yawned quietly, but because the master had not rested, she had to cheer up.

Not long after, a eunuch hurried in.

"What? King Yu is there too?"

The palace maid listened to the voice inside, gritted her teeth silently, and regarded herself as deaf.

Concubine Rong waited for most of the night, but she didn't wait for Shen Xizhi, but she waited for such news, her drowsiness flew away, and she slapped the table fiercely. "Didn't she go to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, how could she go back with King Yu?"

The eunuch was the one who stood in the way in the street, and he trembled and only said that he did not know.

"Useless things!" Rong Guifei glared at him, she had waited for so long in the middle of the night, but she had waited in vain.

She rubbed her sour eyes, only feeling bored, "Get down, call Princess Yu to see the palace early tomorrow morning." ”

The eunuch hurriedly responded, and left with weak legs and feet.

The carriage came to a steady stop outside King Yu's mansion.

Shen Xizhi opened his eyes ignorantly, only to realize that he had fallen asleep unconsciously. She rubbed her eyes, and then saw a bony hand stop in front of her.

It's Jiang Jingyu.

After entering the palace, Jiang Jingyu instructed Wen Ru to send Shen Xizhi back to rest.

Shen Xizhi was in a daze, and when he heard him say this, he immediately followed Wen Ru back to the courtyard. Wen Ru wanted to be reminded, but seeing that she was really tired, she had to give up.

However, just as Shen Xizhi was about to fall asleep, she suddenly opened her eyes with a spirit.

"Wen Ru!" she rolled over and got out of bed, "Where's the Duan Yan you brought back?"

Wen Ru came in from the outside and hurriedly gave her the box on the table, "Here, there is also this piece you bought." Princess, you are going to ......"

"Naturally, it was a surprise for the prince. She was about to go to Jiang Jingyu with the box with two inkstones, but she stopped before she walked out of the door, "The prince should rest at this time, it's the same, and it will be the same if you send it tomorrow." ”

Seeing that she had calmed down, Wen Ru walked over with a smile, put a cloak on her, and said, "How can it be? The prince is busy these days, and he always sleeps at night, and the slave assures you that the prince is definitely still in the study at this time." You're going now, just right. ”

"Yes......"

But Shen Xizhi retreated at this time, she went to find Jiang Jingyu in the middle of the night, what if she was misunderstood?

The change in her expression was seen by Wen Ru, because she was afraid that she would not be able to step out of the door, Wen Ru hurriedly held the two boxes in her arms. walked out of the door and shouted to carry a lantern, while urging Shen Xizhi to act quickly.

In this way, Shen Xizhi came to the study half-pushed and half-on-the-spot. Wei Chi was guarding outside the door, and when he saw Shen Xizhi, he seemed to understand something, and immediately said loudly: "My subordinates have seen the princess." ”

He glanced at Wen Ru, who winked at him. Yu Chi Mao suddenly opened and personally pushed open the door for Shen Xizhi, "The prince is handling government affairs, princess, please." ”

Wen Ru smiled and stuffed the two boxes into Shen Xizhi's arms, and then pulled Miaoyi aside with Miaoyi.

Why are these people so strange tonight?

Shen Xi had some doubts in her heart, but she came here, and she didn't turn around and left. So after a little hesitation, he stepped into the study.

The candle in the study was bright, Jiang Jingyu had a cup of tea in his hand, and when he saw Shen Xizhi, he put away the scroll on the desk and put it next to him.

"The princess finally remembered the king. "It's a bit ridiculous.

Shen Xizhi felt that Jiang Jingyu was also a little strange tonight.

But she still put down the things in her arms and looked at him with bright eyes, "I got some good things today, and I came to share them with the prince." ”

Jiang Jingyu's gaze turned around on the two boxes, but he didn't move. He already knew what Shen Xizhi bought in the Strange Building, and even the moment Shen Xizhi stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he knew her whereabouts.

"Won't the prince open it and take a look?"

The person in front of him looked hopeful, he had never seen her so genuinely happy.

As the daughter of a criminal minister, she is most likely to be poked in the back, but she doesn't seem to care, but wants to avenge the Shen family - even if she has never said it to herself.

Maybe there were some things he could let her know.

Jiang Jingyu opened the box as he said, and there were two completely different inkstones in the two boxes. But his eyes were heavy, and he did not show a trace of joy.

Shen Xizhi thought that it was nothing that he didn't like the piece of inkstone he chose, but why didn't he even seem to like what he had lost and recovered?

She felt that she couldn't understand Jiang Jingyu more and more, but now she was no longer as afraid of him as she was at the beginning, but she didn't take the effort to explore his mind.

She gritted her teeth and didn't ask Jiang Jingyu if she liked it. At the same time, the joy on her face also faded, she thought that she finally had a way to thank Jiang Jingyu, and finally stopped being protected by him alone, but ......

"What are you thinking?"

Jiang Jingyu's voice sounded coldly, Shen Xizhi was startled, and lowered his eyes, "It's nothing, the prince is busy first, I'll go back." ”

As soon as she got up, Jiang Jingyu grabbed her wrist, "The gift from the princess, this king likes it very much." But the princess must also remember that dead things can never compare to living people. ”

He looked up, and two candles were reflected in his eyes.

"What does this mean, prince?" If you like it, why do you want to show that you don't like it?

Jiang Jingyu didn't answer, but asked her: "Does the princess want to hear the story of this piece of Duan Yan?" He said the piece that was once taken away by Yan Yuyu and now lost and recovered.

Shen Xizhi sat back without thinking about it, the opportunity is rare, he has been with Jiang Jingyu for so long, this person always says that half is left and half is left. It's hard to hear him talk more about this time, and of course she can't miss it.

The tea in the cup was already cold, Jiang Jingyu got up and poured the tea into the potted plant on the windowsill, and then returned to pour hot tea for the two of them.

"Five years ago, Yan Yuyu was crazy about Duan Yan, she was seriously ill at that time, and she had some hope by looking for Duan Yan. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Yan knew that the king had a piece in his hand, and then Yan Yuyu knew. ”

The entrance of hot tea is a rare warmth in the autumn night. He tried his best to downplay the original struggle and resentment, "Prime Minister Yan begged the emperor for the sake of his daughter, and the emperor valued him, so he let the king give up." ”

"Fake. Shen Xizhi looked at him with complicated eyes.

"If the prince doesn't want to say it, why bother to use these vague words to prevaricate me? Does the prince want to tell me that Yan Yuyu is not wrong? Or do you want to say that what I did today is not right, and I shouldn't offend the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

She was angry. She didn't have to ask Jiang Jingyu to dissect her past, but she felt that all that she had done seemed meaningless in his words.
