Shen Shuoxia walked down the street unhurriedly.

The Gonglian team knew very well about the people entering and leaving the capital, and she knew where the warrior named Zhiqi lived, but she didn't rush to go, and first changed into civilian clothes before leaving the palace.

She didn't know what to say when she saw Zhi Xi, and she didn't think much about how Zhi Wei would respond, she went to the inn only because of the princess, since it was her request, Shen Shuoxia would not hesitate to comply, she also didn't speculate about why the princess wanted to let her see Zhi Xi, this is something she doesn't have to think about and shouldn't think.

Walking into the inn, although she was dressed in civilian clothes, her good appearance still attracted the attention of the men in the inn, and everyone whispered to ask which girl this was.

Shen Yile, who happened to come down from the second floor of the inn, heard the news and saw her.

Shen Yile frowned slightly, feeling that this woman was so familiar, and she seemed to have seen it recently.

She seems to be the princess's maid, what are you doing here? Speaking of which, on the day of the little emperor's assassination, she seemed to have something to do with Zhi Qi, could it be that she came to find Zhi Qi?

At that time, it was chaotic, Shen Yile's mind was all about the little emperor and looking for the assassin, she didn't care about crying, but she caught a glimpse of him stepping on the stone platform with an arrow, and what happened after that, she didn't know at all.

"Shen Nuxia," just as Shen Yile was still thinking about her identity, the maid had already spoken, "I don't know where the young man is?"

"You're really here for him. Shen Yile couldn't help but say.

"Why do you say that?" the maid looked puzzled.

"Ah, nothing, he's upstairs. Shen Yile didn't want to talk about the day the emperor was assassinated in the capital, so she waved her hand and said, "I've been depressed recently." She complained to herself, there was no need for the next sentence.

"Thank you. The maid bowed slightly and walked up the stairs.

Shen Yile watched curiously, the back of the maid disappeared around the corner, intending to ask the childish cry later.

Shen Shuoxia walked up the steps gracefully, the sound of crisp footsteps stepped step by step, she walked up to the second floor and knocked on the door of the childish cry.

Knock knock, knock knock.

No one responded.

Strange, she retreated into the hallway and counted the rooms.

It's this, Shen Yile also said just now that he was crying upstairs, why is there no one?

Soon, a young and bright voice solved her doubts-

"Looking for me?"

Dugu Linqi, who heard the knock on the door, walked over from the open-air stand at the end of the corridor with a teacup, he looked curiously at the guest who was dressed in simple clothes and extraordinary temperament, and then froze, his left hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, the cup seat was tilted, and the porcelain cup containing half of the green tea slipped to the right.

"Shen Shuoxia?" his thoughts exploded like fireworks, and the dim corridor suddenly became golden.

At the same moment, Shen Shuoxia had already come to him, gently catching the teacup that was about to fall to the ground, without spilling a little tea.

"Hold the cup. ”

"This ...... What the hell is this—" Dugu Linqi was speechless.

These days, he regretted his impulsive actions at that time, and the emperor was assassinated, the whole capital was in chaos, they were also forbidden to go out of the city, and everyone had to accept the strict inspection of Jinyiwei and Dali Temple. As Shen Yile said, he has been depressed, sitting on the open-air balcony all day thinking about how to see Shen Shuoxia again, but he never came up with a way, and the princess's reaction at that time also surprised him, it was like a little girl who received her favorite handkerchief, and her eyes were full of unexpected smiles.

It wasn't the princess he remembered.

However, the princess didn't seem to be disgusted by his behavior, and he guessed without humility that his actions must have touched the softest place in the princess's heart, and the princess might match him and Shen Shuoxia because of this.

He knew it was a wild imagination. The princess is now busy dealing with the chaos of the death of the little emperor, how can she have the heart to be a matchmaker? besides, even if it is normal, she does not want someone who can do such a thing......

But—

What's going on now?

Why is she standing here?

"Are you, Shen Shuoxia......?"

This must be a joke, it was Shen Yile's girl who saw that she was interested in the maid, so she pretended to be Shen Shuoxia to tease him.

Yes, they are all surnamed Shen, so they may look alike.

Deceive oneself as well as others!

Dugu Linqi shouted in his heart, she is Shen Shuoxia.

Shen Shuoxia is even smaller than Shen Yile, she is like a doll next to the princess.

"Don't you know me?" Shen Shuoxia looked at Dugu Linqi with interest, "Didn't you make bold remarks on the platform a few days ago?"

Dugu Lin is incoherent, even if he behaves maturely on weekdays, he looks extremely naïve in front of Shen Shuoxia.

He stammered in an incomprehensible manner before finally squeezing out a complete sentence: "I said it." ”

"The princess asked me to come to you. ”

"Your Majesty?" is it really her?

Dugu Linqi still retains a trace of rationality, and it is this rationality that makes him break out in a cold sweat - why would the princess do such a thing?

He did not doubt the princess's motives, on the contrary, he was very grateful that the princess could reward him with this opportunity. At present, the capital is full of dangers, and even the Son of Heaven has been assassinated in public, how could the princess let her personal maid leave her side? This is definitely not the measure that a far-sighted ruler should have.

He suddenly smiled bitterly.

When did you become so indecisive?

"That's right. Shen Shuoxia shrugged, "The princess only asked me to come to see you, she didn't ask me to do anything, now that my task is complete, it's time to go back." She didn't want to say anything more to this kid who had fallen in love.

"Wait!" he tried to grab her hand, but immediately withdrew it, "I have something to tell you." ”

"Didn't you already say it on the platform?"

Dugu Linqi trembled slightly: "What about your reply?"

Shen Shuoxia suddenly changed her mind - the princess deliberately separated her so that she could meet with Lord Jia Sirou alone. She should be honest outside now and wait for the dust to settle.

So she asked, "I want to know, why do you have such feelings for me, I have met you?"

Dugu Linqi saw hope and cautiously requested: "Let's go over there and talk slowly?" The tone was full of "If you don't want to, I will never force it".

"Okay. Shen Shuoxia smiled slightly.

Dugu Linqi walked in front nervously, and before the two of them could sit down, he said eagerly: "I saw you when I entered Beijing last time. ”

"Last time I was in Beijing?"

He realized that he was slurring his words, so he calmed down and recounted the situation in detail. After listening, Shen Shuoxia couldn't help laughing. He didn't know what his sweetheart was laughing at, and he was too embarrassed to ask, he just felt that his mind was blank, and he was relieved after saying these things.

"Childish fantasies. She retracted her smile and was indifferent to Dugu Linqi's heartfelt confession, "You better give up this idea as soon as possible - I'm not trying to persuade you, but ordering you." ”

"Why?" he asked, without thinking.

"I don't want anyone to pester me," she said earnestly, "you are a talented man from the Western Dynasty, and you should not devote your time and energy to the impossible." As she spoke, she estimated the time when she would come out, and the princess was almost ready to talk to Lord Jia.
