Xiao Yan was silent, remembering that day and night behind the rockery in the Li Mansion, her eyes were as cold as water when she looked at her, and her hands tightened slightly in the wide sleeves.

His gaze fell on the merry boy: "The person who gave the real Song girl a lot of money and asked her to give up her identity is Xie Gongzi." You already knew that she was unladylike, even if this murder didn't happen, she would one day remember the good of this identity. However, you still gave this identity to Miss Mo that could be exposed at any time. Did Xiao guess right? ”

Xie Qi was still lying on the bamboo chair, his wide sleeves hanging to the ground, and he could vaguely see the delicate embroidered anemone pattern, his peach blossom eyes were half-closed and half-open, with an understated smile in his mouth: "How can I have Brother Xiao think so badly." Didn't you see that things were not good, and put this matter down in time and handed it over to you? I have already taken care of everything on the Song family's side, as long as Brother Xiao doesn't say it, who else can know? ”

Xiao Yan's eyes were light, and all emotions were hidden in the shadow of his eyelashes.

Xie Qi didn't bother to speculate about his emotions, listening to the sound of rain outside the corridor, his tone was still light: "I know that Lord Xiao is an upright official, and he is bent on returning Dajing to a clear world, but if you look at the current situation, how can there be a little clear atmosphere?" The six ministries are almost corrupt to the roots, which of those important ministers in the cabinet is innocent? The saint has been going to rectify the rule of officials since he ascended the throne, but in the past few years, he has not exhausted himself on the dragon couch first. There is also a court guard, whose power is almost greater than the sky, even if the prince ascends the throne smoothly, he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep peacefully. ”

His eyes raised, and his gaze fell on Xiao Yan's side face that couldn't pick out a single flaw: "If Lord Xiao still has a trace of ideals in his heart, then he will climb up desperately." If you stop at a mere criminal department, the road ahead will only be difficult. And this gift I am giving you today will be a good bargaining chip. ”

In the growing rain, Xiao Yan finally spoke: "The prince's political philosophy does coincide with Xiao, if he can inherit the throne in the future, Xiao will do his best to assist, but ......" He said slowly, "Why does Gongzi Xie think that I will sacrifice an innocent woman and become a stepping stone to stabilize the East Palace?" ”

Xiao Yan said, picking up the umbrella that Shicai erected on the wall, his gaze was calm and frank: "Xiao is not as unscrupulous as you think." He walked into the rain with an umbrella and did not look back, "This big gift, I can't accept it." ”

Xie Qigongzi's handsome face drooped slightly, and the smile on his lips was restrained, but soon, he straightened his sleeves and laughed lowly: "Unscrupulous means...... Is it? Who the hell is this ironic, thinking I can't hear it? ”

The torrential rain was like a note, Song Ran trotted to the eaves of the street, and twisted her sleeves in embarrassment, what she was most afraid of was the dragon lord of Ling'an City, whether it would rain or not, when it would rain, it all depended on his old man's mood. was silently chattering in his heart, and suddenly saw a person rushing over in the rain, black brocade clothes, with a knife on his waist, Xia Xiaoqiu raised the eaves of the umbrella a little higher, and said, "Miss Song, it's a coincidence." He gestured to the carriage not far away, and said, "Your Excellency is about to go to the Yamen, and I will send you back by the way." ”

Song Ran didn't expect to meet them here, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got under Xia Xiaoqiu's umbrella, he escorted her with an umbrella, and invited her for credit: "Thanks to my good eyes, I saw Miss Song at a glance." ”

After Xia Xiaoqiu helped Song Ran into the carriage, he sat on the wheel, Song Ran sat in the seat near the door, and asked him, "It's raining so hard, won't Lord Xia come in and sit?" ”

He touched a hat and put it on his head, and smiled so much that he showed his white teeth: "Master Xia, I have rough skin and thick flesh, are you still afraid of this drizzle?" Miss Song, go inside. ”

Song Ran closed the door and sat in the carriage.

Shen Hanxi was dressed in a neat ink-colored brocade robe, and frowned slightly when he saw that she was like a soup chicken. She didn't wait for him to ask, so she explained: "Hang family told him a girl, about to get married, I gave him half a month off, today Hang Er also went back to help, there are not enough people in the shop, I went to help guard for a day, I happened to encounter a batch of goods There was something wrong, dumb with Liu Steward to deal with it, I can't do business alone, so I closed the shop and prepared to go home, who would want to encounter such a heavy rain......"

She talked endlessly, and while he listened, he opened the suitcase on his side, picked out two clothes from it, threw them on her, and said lightly: "Change your clothes." ”

He was often so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and the carriage was always stocked with a change of clothes.

It is a long way to get from here to Song's house, she is weak, and if she doesn't change her wet clothes in time, she may get sick again.

Song Ran touched off the shirt he threw on his head, and hesitated, "No need." As he spoke, a sneeze came out of his nose.

She rubbed her nose and listened to him: "Change, this official has no heart to look at you." ”

Seeing that he closed his eyes and said in a tone that could not be distinguished, she had to take off the wet clothes on her body. During the change of clothes, she glanced at him from time to time, for fear that he would peek. Although Shen Hanxi had her eyes closed, she could feel her scurry just by her voice. After a long time, I heard her say, "My lord, it's okay." ”

He opened his eyes slowly, and he didn't feel that he didn't pay attention to it on weekdays, but now that he saw his clothes on her, he realized the difference in physique between them. She was not short among women, but she was petite compared to him, and she did not seem accustomed to wearing men's clothes, pulling at the sleeves of her shirt and straightening the placket of her clothes at the other.

He lightly ordered her: "Come and sit." ”

She was originally sitting by the car door, and when she heard the words, she obediently sat next to him. He has always been a good person, and his temperament is not relenting, so she can be less troublesome if she is more obedient.

Seeing him stretch out his hand to her shoulder, she involuntarily dodged for a while, but he leisurely helped her pull her hair out of her clothes, and said in a displeased tone: "Am I a tiger or a lion, until now, are you afraid that I will eat you?" ”

She hurriedly smiled and said, "No." I am...... Not very used to it. ”

No matter how intimate things he is, he has done them to her, although she does not reject them, but there is a threshold in her heart. After all, those things are transgressive, and there is a difference between liking him and committing to him.

Shen Hanxi was not embarrassed for her, seeing that there were still traces of rain on her cheeks, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her. As soon as she took the veil into her hand, she exclaimed, "Isn't this my veil?" ”

She turned the handkerchief over, and sure enough, she found her name, which was indeed the one she had lost.

He said lightly: "On the way back from the teacher's place that day, I fell into the official's car. ”

She continued to be stunned: "So, adults already know my name?" ”

He looked at her and said in a natural tone, "Otherwise." ”

"That adult is still ......" bumped into his gaze, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and only slandered in her heart: he knew everything, and asked her aggressively who she was?

He seemed to know what the half sentence she hadn't finished talking about, and his eyes were leisurely and playful: "The official himself broke it and you confessed to it yourself, which are two different things." ”

Her expression was a little unconvinced, and she said, "Does the adult still have to be lenient?" ”

Shen Hanxi smiled and changed his posture: "If you don't deal with it leniently, do you think you can live to this day?" ”

Although she knew that he was joking, she still shuddered, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and was about to put it away, but saw him stretch out a hand: "When you are done, return it to the official." ”

She paused and confirmed with him, "My lord, this is mine." Then he said, "You have found it, shouldn't you return it to its original owner?" ”

But he had his own set of bandit logic, and said without changing his face: "What I pick up is mine." ”

She looked down at the handkerchief in her hand, remembering the origin and extinction related to this handkerchief, and was slightly distracted.

Shen Hanxi saw that she suddenly looked at the handkerchief in a daze, and asked her casually: "What, reluctant?" ”

Only then did she come back to her senses and slowly spoke: "It's not reluctant. I just suddenly remembered a Buddhist saying. She said softly, "The origin is extinguished, and the birth is empty." About the marriage and separation in this world, it is all in a moment. As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and said, "My lord, many years ago, I became acquainted with a person because of this handkerchief, and then it took thirteen years, but only one was lost. I don't want adults to take this bad thing with me again. So, give it back to me. ”

Shen Hanxi's eyes were slightly cold, and he asked her, "Who is that person who has no fate?" ”

She didn't dare to look at his expression, she still hung her head, clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and said, "I forgot." ”

He was prepared to be furious, but he didn't say a word.

After a long time, I heard him say, "It's better to really forget." As he spoke, he took the handkerchief out of her hand, received it in her arms in a stunned gaze, and said, "Such a handkerchief with a story is to be kept as a souvenir." It's good to remind yourself all the time that there is a person who has made Miss Song forget for thirteen years. ”

Although there was no expression on his face, he was obviously angry, she opened her mouth to explain to him, but Xia Xiaoqiu's voice came from outside the car: "My lord, the yamen has arrived." ”

He didn't look at her, and said lazily: "Let Xia Xiaoqiu send you home, go back and drink a bowl of ginger soup and go to the bed to lie down." This official will be very busy during this time, and he should not have time to visit you. ”

Shen Hanxi said that he was about to get up and leave, but the woman who had been sitting obediently beside him suddenly came up.

Before he could react, his lips were covered with softness and warmth.

She didn't know where she got the courage, so she kissed him a little bit, stabilized her messy breathing, and didn't dare to look at him: "My lord, I heard that the most prestigious Kunban in Suzhou will sing their house drama in the building boat of the Huanhua River at the end of the month, and ordinary people can also rent a painting boat to watch, I heard that they will sing for half a month, if you have time, ...... it."

The red lips and teeth are close in front of him, the face of the Peugeot is like a magnolia that is open and closed, and the fair cheeks are dyed with a rosy color due to shyness.

He watched her lips open and close, his mind no longer in her words, and before she could finish speaking, he sealed the words behind her in his mouth.

The curtains of the side windows were blown open by the wind, and a cool chill invaded and swept past her fingertips.

Her body was hot, and her mouth was even hotter. With her lips and teeth intertwined, her breathing entangled, she gradually sank in, as if lost in the peach blossom forest in March.

He remembered that Xia Xiaoqiu was still waiting outside, and reluctantly let go of her, and said: "This official knows that he is going to play "The Story of Jade Jue", this Kunban was specially invited by Meng Changbai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who do you think he wants to please?" He hooked the corners of his lips, his already beautiful face was even more bewildering because of this smile, and he only listened to him, "Lou Chuan premiered, this official is a guest, if you want to see it, let Xiaoqiu pick you up." ”
