Chapter 8: Yin Qi and Shen Qingchen
The night is deep, the crescent moon is faint with a hazy white light, hanging upside down on the night, the moonlight shines through the treetops, layer upon layer, shrouding the womb, beautiful and deserted.
A figure flew past the eaves and quickly jumped into the house through the half-hidden window, not waking the snoozing guards.
"Here we are." There was no wax in the house, only a little moonlight shining through the windows. The people in the room sat in their chairs, apparently waiting for a long time.
"Why is this happening?" Shen Qingchen took off his veil, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly against the moonlight, and could only vaguely see the facial lines that looked a little cold and hard, showing that this person was brewing anger at this time.
"......" The man did not answer, and the room fell silent.
With a "swish", Shen Qingchen pulled out the sword in his hand from its scabbard, the blade flashed with cold light in the night, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the man's chest.
"Why do you want to involve light faces?" Shen Qingchen's voice was very calm, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation.
The man got up from his chair, regardless of whether the sword would stab him, and walked towards Shen Qingchen step by step. Shen Qingchen did not move the sword away, the sword pierced into the man's chest little by little, Shen Qingchen paused, and pulled out the sword, through the moonlight, a touch of bright red on the tip of the sword could be faintly seen.
"I never wanted to take advantage of her." The man's tone was still light, his back still straight, and he didn't tremble at the slightest from the wound in his chest.
"Yin Qi, I want you to swear that no matter what happens in the future, you will protect her." Shen Qingchen stared at Yin Qi for a moment, then retracted the sword from its scabbard, and the eyes that were often lazy and uninhibited in the past were only full of seriousness at this time.
"Okay." Yin Qi looked directly at Shen Qingchen's eyes, the hazy moonlight sprinkled on his body, noble and handsome, where could he still find a little stupidity in those ink-like eyes, and his cold and arrogant aura was enough to convince anyone.
"If you lose her, I, Shen Qingchen, will use this sword and die with you." Shen Qingchen left such a sentence, and disappeared without a trace in the house, and the dark night was as cold and silent as usual, as if no one had ever come.
Yin Qi sat back in his chair, didn't care about the bleeding wound, and looked at the direction where Shen Qingchen left, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Yin Qi was five years old, the queen suddenly fell ill and died, the queen's mother's family had already decayed, and Yin Qi, who had lost the only shelter, had ill intentions in the past to impeach him and asked for another prince, and then there was a glorious and favored Concubine Li Guifei who designed to frame him, after a high fever, in order to save his life, the young Yin Qi chose to pretend to be stupid. Yin Qi grew up slowly, growing his wings in secret, waiting for the day when the Jedi counterattacked.
And Shen Qingchen, who met at the age of ten, is the most capable confidant and the most intimate friend to Yin Qi. When Shen Qingchen agreed to help him, he only mentioned one condition, not to involve Shen Qingyan. It is undeniable that he is indeed a little curious, what kind of woman is Shen Qingyan, who can make this brother who is frivolous and chic on the surface, but is actually cold and cold, put her higher than life, after all, he was born in the emperor's family and walked on thin ice, and he will never be able to understand the word "feelings".
Even if you are in the palace, it is not difficult to hear the news of Shen Qingyan, who is famous in Mucheng, but most of them are embarrassing rumors, which are similar to the "girl" in Shen Qingchen's mouth. All the doubts were answered when I saw her for the first time, and the one who was affectionately poked on the forehead by Shen Qingchen was obviously Shen Qingyan, who came to participate in the selection of the prince's concubine. Shen Qingchen has been talking in his ear for ten years, and Yan'er has a real appearance like this.
When he listened to Zhang Jinyu's report in the old place, he saw the shadow by the lake again. The face that had tarnished the city was now full of sorrow, and he stood quietly beside him, feeling a little helpless for the first time. Suddenly, a woman wearing a lake blue water skirt sneaked behind her, stretched out her hands as if she wanted to push her into the lake, and subconsciously pinched a stone and threw it into the lake, waking her up who was still distracted, and also frightened the woman who wanted to harm her. There was a sound of laughter next to her, and seeing Zhang Jinyu's crazy man's face flushed, she asked with a smile: "Is the iron tree blooming?" He ignored it, just looked at his own reflection in the lake and didn't speak.
One of her dances amazed the four seats, and also amazed him. Looking at Yin Yuan's aggressive eyes towards her, he only felt that his chest was instantly burned with anger, and stepped forward uncontrollably, ignoring the warning eyes cast by Shen Qingchen, holding her wrist, watching her face turn red with some amusement, and feeling that his heart was calm.
When he saw the woman who wanted to kill her coming over, his first reaction was to kill her quickly, and at the moment when he was about to do it, the woman mentioned her, paused, and even though he knew that it was a trap, he still chose to confirm whether she was safe. Seeing her lying on the bed in disheveled clothes, although she knew that nothing had happened, she still wanted to carry the woman who had just walked out of the door and strangled her, took off her coat a little roughly, and clothed her softly, and then unexpectedly saw the emperor and Concubine Li who walked in.
When the teacup was thrown over, he just didn't move very calmly, before the Jedi fought back, these flesh and skin pain and insults were what he had to endure, but when he caught a glimpse of her subconsciously raising her hand to help him resist, he directly pressed her hand, how could he let her hurt. The tea was hot, and there was a sharp pain in the place where it had been burned, but when I felt the slight trembling of the hand in my hand and the worry in my beautiful eyes, all the pain seemed to be calmed.
"I'm going to marry her." When he shouted these words, he was actually frightened, but all emotions were diluted by a faint joy and relief. It turned out that he liked her, and he liked her so easily, maybe because Shen Qingchen had been talking about her in his ear for ten years, maybe because the bits and pieces about her gave this dark ten years a little color.
Yin Qi withdrew from his contemplation, slowly covered the wound on his chest, felt the warmth and smoothness of his palm, and suddenly curled the corners of his mouth. Although he is in the quagmire, he Yin Qi has never been afraid of anything, since he has a deep love, why bother to wronged himself, and his people, he will protect himself.
I don't know what to do, and I am in love. Shen Qingyan is Yin Qi's destiny.
Shen Qingchen climbed over the wall from the back garden into the mansion and tore off the veil a little depressed. He could see at a glance that Yin Qi's family had taken a fancy to his sister. It's strange to say, if ordinary people have experienced what Yin Qi has experienced since childhood, I am afraid that they will either cower and become cowardly and become a rat stream, or they will be ruthless and suspicious and become a cold-blooded thug, but this guy is no different from a normal person except for a bad stomach, at such an important moment of reserve strength, he still has the heart to tease a woman from a good family, yes, it is to tease a woman from a good family. The current Yin Qi is an out-and-out slut in Shen Qingchen's eyes. However, Shen Qingchen sighed and opened the door, this slut's character is still okay, at least stronger than that Yin Yuan, and his sister handed it over to him, he can barely rest assured. As for the problem of putting Shen Qingyan in danger, although Shen Qingchen wanted to hang that slut up and beat him up when he thought of this, but that slut's IQ and force value were beyond his reach, not to mention, even if he Shen Qingchen fought to the death, he would protect Shen Qingyan well. So, stabbing the slut with a sword and leaving a warning, he acquiesced in the beast's covetousness for his sister.
Not long after Shen Qingchen left the back garden, Shen Qingyan came to the back garden lightly and hid behind the rockery on the side. In recent days, Meng Ru has been lingering in a cloth village, and every time she comes back, she has a girlish smile on her face. Shen Qingyan ordered Cui Wei to inquire about the news of Nabuzhuang, and learned that the shopkeeper of Nabuzhuang was named Li Ren, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he looked handsome. Shen Qingyan sneered and looked at the few sparse stars in the night sky, isn't Li Ren Meng Ru's lover in the previous life. In the past two days, Shen Mingwei has been so busy that he has been dizzy due to his lack of skills in official work, and he has spent the night directly in the study, I am afraid that Meng Ru will not let go of this good opportunity to get together with his lover.
After a while, I saw the grass shake violently a few times, and a young man came out, and the lacquered wall behind the man was a big hole, which was usually covered by the grass, so no one found it. The man was white and tender, and his appearance was thoughtful, but at this time he came out of the hole in embarrassment, with his waist pouting and grinning, which looked funny.
"You're here!" A coquettish voice came, the person who came was gentle and delicate, the figure was delicate, although he was old, but the charm still existed, at this time, because of the joy added two touches of delicateness, the person who came was Meng Ru.
As soon as the man saw Meng Ru, he pounced and kissed and gnawed, Meng Ru blushed and wanted to refuse to return the welcome, and after being stolen by the man, the cat's paw tickled and punched the other party's chest.
"Are you sure the old man won't find out?" The man seemed to be a little uneasy, frowned slightly, sat on the grass with Meng Ru in his arms, and rubbed his hands dishonestly on Meng Ru's thin waist.
"Rest assured...... I went to the study and he was already asleep. Meng Ru's face was flushed by the man's teasing, and she rested her head on the man's chest, her face flushed.
"That's good...... Alas......" The man suddenly sighed, looking depressed, causing Meng Ru to quickly sit up and ask.
"It's nothing, it's just that the business of Buzhuang hasn't been doing well lately."
"Ah Ren, you take this silver for circulation." Meng Ru took out a heavy bag of silver taels from his sleeve and stuffed it into the man's hand.
"This ...... Ru'er, being with you is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes. Li Ren carefully put away the silver tael, kissed Meng Ru's face, and pressed it to the ground, skillfully picking up his clothes with one hand, and after a while, Meng Ru's gasp was heard.
Shen Qingyan hid behind the rockery and took all this into his eyes, and couldn't bear to pollute his eyes anymore and turned away, leaving the filthy voice behind him.
That Meng Ru was for such a little white face who was greedy for money, causing the entire Shen Mansion to fall into the abyss and the family to be ruined. Shen Qingyan sat on the couch, clenched her fists, her eyes were still amazingly bright in the room without wax, she would definitely stop all this, she would not only make Meng Ru pay, but also let her have no power to turn over.
