cpa300_4;β€œ Shen Miao, if I don't let people call you, you won't come here at all?"

The atmosphere in the room was condensed, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, and although his face was pale, his momentum was never weak. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info≀ to see ≀ book ≀ Pavilion,, visit.

Shen Miao said: "You think too much. ”

"Are you hiding something from me?" Xie Jingxing asked.

Shen Miao shook her head: "No." "How can I say it? In all fairness, this life is completely different from the previous life, and Xie Jingxing may not really have anything to do with Mrs. Lintel. But with Fu Ming and Wanyu involved, she had no way to look at this kind of thing rationally and detachedly.

If she didn't have the slightest affection for Xie Jingxing, it might be much simpler. What I am most afraid of is that the relationship is mixed with other things, hate is not hate, love is not love, and in the end, countless fears are born, and I don't even have the courage to face the problem.

Xie Jingxing glanced at her deeply, Shen Miao was afraid of being glimpsed into some of her secret thoughts, so she said: "Since your body is well, you should rest more, the night is very long, take medicine, go to bed early." She stood up, turned and was about to leave.

"Are you so impatient to leave?" Xie Jingxing's voice came from behind, and it seemed to carry a few invisible grievances: "I heard that you haven't come to see me in the past few days. But the first time I opened my eyes, I thought you must be frightened. He pulled the corners of his mouth and lowered his eyes, "It's me who is passionate." ”

Shen Miao didn't say anything, pushed the door and walked out, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

Xie Jingxing will definitely find out about her abnormality, he is such a sensitive person, if he finds out, her secret can't be explained at all. Chang Zaiqing's matter is about her family in the end, but this Li Lin's sister and brother have never met her, and they are also Xie Jingxing's benefactors. It is precisely because everyone in Longye knows about it now, so Li Lin's sister and brother can't have an accident, and once they suspect her, they will even pour dirty water on Prince Rui's mansion.

On the one hand, there is a disaster that may be invited, and on the other hand, it is a torture for Shen Miao to eradicate the enemies of the previous life as soon as possible, so that they can live in this world for a long time. is also related to Xie Jingxing, Shen Miao felt that after coming to Daliang for so many days, she finally encountered her biggest calamity.

Octagon walked over with the empty medicine bowl, saw Shen Miao stunned, and said, "Why did Madam come out so quickly?

"No need. Shen Miao said: "You take care of him." She walked forward without looking back.

Two days later, Mo Qing came to Shen Miao with the news he had heard.

He said: "The two sisters and brothers are from Qinzhou, the children of a merchant family, but they were raised. The merchant's wife died young, and the old man died not long ago. Before he died, he told them that the two were not biological and buried their adoptive father, and they came to Longye to find their relatives. But there are no clues. ”

"No way. Shen Miao stood up.

Mo Qing said: "There is only so much news that can be inquired about, and my subordinates let people inquire about it at the other end of Qinzhou, and the neighbors all know that they have grown up watching this pair of sisters and brothers since childhood." ”

"Are you sure Li Lian hasn't been to Mingqi?" Shen Miao's nails unconsciously embedded in her palm.

"She's never been far away, and this is the first time she's left outside of Qinzhou. Mo Qing said.

Shen Miao closed her eyes.

"In the past two days, Li Li and Li Ke have been in the Prince's Mansion, and occasionally go to the Ji Mansion to talk to Mrs. Ji, but they haven't done anything. ”

Shen Miao asked, "Then they, have they seen His Highness?"

"Not really. Without communication, no one can see His Highness in person, not even a life-saving benefactor. Mo Qing replied.

"I know, you go down, continue to pay attention to this pair of siblings, and tell me as soon as there is any movement. Shen Miao said.

Mo Qing retreated.

After Mo Qing left, Shen Miao sat back in her chair and gradually sank her gaze.

Since Mo Qing is inquiring, he will definitely not miss the clues, but in this case, he inquired about such news, or this life is really different from the previous life, from the daughter of Ming Qi's courtiers to the daughter of a merchant in Da Liang, it is really strange. Or, or the two sisters and brothers are too good at hiding, and their net worth is innocent, and they can't see any clues.

In this way, even if she told Mrs. Ji that these two people had bad intentions, no one would believe her. The merchant sisters and brothers who grew up in Qinzhou came to Longye for the first time to find relatives, saying that they were going to murder the prince's mansion, who can believe it?

She got up and originally wanted to go to see Xie Jingxing, but when she thought that Li Lin's sister and brother were still in the name of Xie Jingxing's benefactor, and the connection that the Daliang royal family and Li Lin's sister and brother might have in her previous life, she felt that it was difficult to face it.

That step still didn't take it out after all.

......

Weiyang Palace.

Empress Xiande listened to the palace maid in front of her finish speaking, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on her face, and said: "Since you wake up, there is always no danger, come and send the two century-old ginseng in the palace box to the prince's mansion, so that the prince can make up for his body." Suddenly, he remembered something, and said, "Does the emperor know about this?"

"Your Majesty already knows. The palace maid smiled.

"It just so happened that this palace talked to him about it. "Empress Hyundeok is about to get up.

The palace maid hesitated and said, "Your Majesty is at Concubine Jing's place at the moment...... About the ...... of the celebration"

Empress Xiande's movements paused, and then she smiled gently: "In this way, there is no need to go to the palace." But there was a subtle gloom in his eyes.

"However, Niangniang, when the slave maid heard about the wake up of His Royal Highness the Prince before, she also heard some ladies talking about it, saying......"

"Say what?"

"It is said that the princess doesn't seem to like the pair of sisters and brothers who saved the lives of His Royal Highness the prince, and she is very difficult. Maybe it's because she is jealous that the other party's beauty is better than her, or maybe she doesn't want His Royal Highness to be saved at all......" In the end, his voice gradually weakened, and he seemed to know that what he said was very incorrect.

"Nonsense!" Empress Xiande shouted: "How could the princess not want His Royal Highness to be saved!"

The palace maid was so frightened that she immediately didn't dare to look up.

Empress Xiande calmed down after this loud drink, and she said lightly: "Do you want to say that the princess is jealous? ”

Weiyang Palace was quiet, no one spoke, Empress Xiande sat on a high seat, her eyes changed, but she looked extremely lonely.

......。

For more than ten days, Shen Miao locked herself in the house, carefully thinking about the best of both worlds, but no matter what she thought, she couldn't be sure that there would be no trouble. The opportunity for the Li Lian sisters and brothers to appear in this life put the two of them in a very sensitive position, almost a natural barrier, and Shen Miao couldn't move it.

And in the past ten days, she has also deliberately avoided Xie Jingxing. Because every time I face Xie Jingxing, there will be countless suspicions in my mind. If the Li Ling sister and brother in the previous life were really related to Xie Jingxing, Shen Miao really didn't know how to face Xie Jingxing, but she was afraid that the fate of their husband and wife would inevitably come to an end.

Because of Wanyu and Fu Ming, she can't act as if nothing has happened.

On this morning, when Shen Miao woke up, her expression was very ugly. Both Jing and Gu Yu saw that something was wrong with her, and asked a few times, but Shen Miao only perfunctory, but she was shocked in her heart.

Last night, she had a whole night of dreams, dreaming that in the Kunning Palace in Dingjing, Wanyu and Fu Ming were eating fruit in front of her and chatting, talking and talking, Wanyu and Fu Ming began to flow blood from the corners of their mouths at the same time, she panicked but looked for the imperial doctor, and when she looked up, she saw Mrs. Lintel and Fu Xiuyi coming over, Fu Xiuyi asked people to tie her up, and threw Wanyu and Fu Ming, who were uncertain about life and death, in the palace with her, and then burned Kunning Palace clean with a fire.

The raging fire licked the Kunning Palace, and quickly swept Wanyu and Fu Ming into it, she screamed heartbreakingly, but saw Mrs. Lintel smiling lightly, and said to her: "You lost." ”

Shen Miao woke up suddenly from her dream, the summer sun was morning, and it was almost hot at noon, almost dazzling the eyes of the flowers. Shen Miao broke out in a cold sweat, and her whole body was dripping with sweat. However, Wan Yu and Fu Ming's desperate expressions filled her head, making her whole body start to fidget.

As soon as she came out of the yard, she met Li Lin, who was walking outside.

When Li Li saw Shen Miao, he immediately stopped and saluted her.

Shen Miao darkened her eyes, whenever she met the woman in front of her, she had to try her best to restrain her killing intent. Especially the dream last night, almost so that she couldn't help but reach out and strangle the other party to death now, and the fingertips in her sleeves pierced her palms, emitting a slight pain, which made her wake up a little.

Shen Miao glanced at Li Lin and said, "Miss Li, where is this going?" Her tone was stiff, with a strange meaning, which could not be concealed no matter how much she concealed it.

Li Li said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince has woken up, and summoned our sister and brother over today." The second brother had already passed first, and the folk girl was also planning to rush over. He looked at Shen Miao with some shame: "I have been bothering in the house for many days, and after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince today, the two people and girls should probably leave." The princess took care of us a lot, and she didn't say thank you yet. ”

Shen Miao sneered in her heart, she had never let anyone "take care" of these two, thinking that it should be Mrs. Ji's idea. In addition, everyone in this mansion saw that they had saved Xie Jingxing's life, so they were more polite to the two of them.

"Why just say leave. Shen Miao said indifferently: "We haven't 'repaid' you yet." ”

Li Lian shook his head: "We are here to find relatives in Longye, and since His Royal Highness the Prince is already well, we should also leave." ”

Shen Miao tugged at the corners of her mouth, and didn't even bother to laugh. Is it looking for relatives, Shen Miao really can't believe Li Lin, who knows what they are doing in Longye?

Li Lian looked at Shen Miao, and suddenly said softly: "Princess Niangniang, is there anything about the people's daughter who offended the princess's mother, Niangniang doesn't seem to like the people's girl reads;." ”

In the end, Shen Miao's attitude towards Li Lian was almost obvious. For the benefactor who saved Xie Jingxing, except for seeing each other on the day he came back, Shen Miao didn't see him again. Shen Miao acted properly and gently, it must not be forgotten, but intentional, as for why this happened, it is confusing.

"I don't really like you. Shen Miao held her chin high, she could be false to her enemies, but she couldn't do this to Mrs. Lintel. She wanted to express her hatred directly, if it wasn't for Prince Rui's mansion, if it wasn't for the ...... Xie Jingxing. She chuckled, "Do you want to know why?"

Li Lian looked at her suspiciously, her charming eyes were full of incomprehension, as if they still contained a bit of frankness, and the contempt in Shen Miao's memory was like the two of them.

"Instinct. Shen Miao said coldly. Then he didn't look back, and walked past Li Lin with Surprise and Gu Yu.

Li Li stood in place for a while, shook his head, and left.

And Shen Miao, who was standing far away, looked at her back, her face condensed like ice.

Stunned and Gu Yu didn't dare to say a word, they didn't know why, they always felt that when Shen Miao faced this strange lady of the frieze, it seemed that it would become very terrifying. That kind of terrible ...... It was something they had never experienced in Shen Miao before.

"You're leaving?" Shen Miao muttered to herself, and then said coldly, "Are you okay?" She turned around: "Call Mo Qing over to me." ”

Mo Qing soon came to Shen Miao's house and said, "Madam, my subordinates have something I want to tell you. ”

Shen Miao said: "Put your affairs aside for a while, I have more important things." ”

Mo Qing was puzzled: "Madam, please speak." ”

"You killed Li Ling and Li Ke for me. ”

Mo Qing was stunned.

Shen Miao said: "I thought about it and thought about it, although this matter is not appropriate, it may bring disaster to Prince Rui's Mansion, but if these two people stay immortal, it will be a bigger variable." I'd rather be charged with other crimes than have these two people alive and become an even greater scourge in the future. The claws of these two wolves have not grown together yet, and when they have grown together, it is not so simple to slaughter them again. ”

"I don't want to think about this matter thoroughly, I just want to ask you, can you think of killing them?" Shen Miao asked in a low voice. Her voice swirled through the room, as if from hell, but with a deep determination.

Wan Yu and Fu Ming's dream reminded her that she can't be indecisive, since there is no way to have the best of both worlds, then kill it first. Thinking about it later, since the two siblings are only the sons and daughters of merchants, it will be much less troublesome to kill them, and if they find something to rely on in the future, it will be even more difficult at that time.

Besides, Li Li also said today that it won't be long before they leave Prince Rui's mansion. Where will they go after leaving, and where will they go to a place where they can better shelter? Shen Miao thought that the timing of killing should also be particular, and it could not be delayed any longer. Li Li Ke lives for a day, she can't let go of her heart, and she will doubt Xie Jingxing because of this.

In terms of the choice between the previous life and this life, she chose to kill Li Lian and Li Ke now, as for what role the Daliang royal family played in the previous life, she didn't want to pursue it. This is the biggest and only concession she made for Xie Jingxing.

Mo Qing suddenly knelt down and said, "My subordinates can't do it." ”

Shen Miao stared at him reads;.

"This is exactly what the subordinate wanted to talk to his wife. Just inquired about the news that came back, the two sisters and brothers of Li Li wanted to find their relatives Ye Maocai, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Li Lin's sisters and brothers were the children of Mrs. Ye. Mo Qing said: "The Ye family has already sent someone. ”

Shen Miao staggered back and said, "What did you say?"

"The subordinates have been entrusted by Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Hope will punish them!"

There was silence in the room for a long time, and Mo Qing didn't dare to raise his head. I don't know why, he can almost imagine the disappointment in Shen Miao's eyes, and that kind of powerlessness makes him have no face to see what Shen Miao's expression is, as if he can't bear this helplessness at all.

I don't know how long it took for Shen Miao's voice to come from her head, her voice was desolate and tired, and said, "I don't blame you, they came prepared, and I was uncertain, and I would miss the opportunity if I hesitated." ”

"Still. Her voice suddenly turned sharp, as if a sharp blade appeared from the treasure sheath, sharp and murderous, "Even if there is the Ye family, these two lives, I have to do it!"

Longye and Dingjing are different, Dingjing is located in the north, the scenery is the most prosperous in winter, the silver is the most magnificent, Longye is located in the south, the best season is summer, the night is cool like water, the stars are like the Milky Way, the wind and snow are the most colorful.

The courtyard is the most remote courtyard, but it can't resist the good night, a pot of tea, a game of chess pieces, it seems to have the most satisfying things. The man in the green shirt drank alone under the moon, like a green bamboo growing in the mountains and forests.

When Shen Miao came to the courtyard, she saw this scene.

Pei Lang sat at the stone table, drinking tea and playing chess. In fact, he is often like this, even if he became a national teacher at the beginning, his temperament is still as cold as before. Shen Miao has always felt that Fu Xiuyi's letting Pei Lang enter the court is not necessarily a good decision, Pei Lang's temperament is more suitable for a life like an idle cloud and a wild crane. He reads books, loves saints, likes to play chess, flowers and bamboos, all of which are elegant things, but what he does is a means of pouring into the court and doing his own business.

"Mr. Pei. Shen Miao sat down across from him.

Pei Lang raised his eyes and saw that it was Shen Miao, and was slightly surprised. On that day, Shen Miao ruthlessly separated the relationship between the two of them, that is, no matter how much Pei Lang tolerated it, he was also a man with self-esteem, and he had never taken the initiative to come to Shen Miao these days. And Shen Miao is not a person who will take the initiative to bow his head, and now that he appears in front of him, Pei Lang's new trend is also slightly undulating.

"Mr. Pei said he would help me before, but this sentence still counts now?" Shen Miao didn't plan to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him or play chess, so she asked directly.

"What are you talking about?" Pei Lang put down the teacup in his hand.

"All things, but the current one is that I want the lives of Li Lin's sister and brother. ”

"It's hard. Pei Lang smiled bitterly.

"It's more difficult than you think," Shen Miao said: "This sister and brother have a relationship with the Ye family, saying that they are Ye Maocai's children, and they will soon become Ye Lin and Ye Ke, and it is impossible to simply be a secret killer." But I couldn't let them go. ”

She said "can't" instead of "doesn't want to", which means that she wants the lives of the siblings no matter what.

Pei Lang frowned: "But, why do you want their lives?"

Shen Miao's smile was a little cold, and she said, "Not everything has to have an answer, if you ask me why, I want to ask other questions why." I can't find the answer, so how can I tell you?"

Pei Lang looked at the chess pieces on the table and smiled for a while: "I understand reads;." I'm not going to ask you why, but what do you want me to do. ”

"You're not good at killing people, but I know what you're capable of. Shen Miao said: "Since it has become Ye Lin and Ye Ke, the people to deal with have become the Ye family." What I want to deal with is the Ye family, how to overthrow a family in the court, no one understands better than Mr. Pei. I want you to be my staff. ”

Pei Lang was stunned, shook his head and said: "I don't understand what you mean, although I follow King Ding, but I only make plans and political affairs, and I have no experience of overthrowing the enemy." How do you say that?"

Shen Miao smiled, but thought in her heart that she naturally knew. Pei Lang looked gentle and elegant, but his methods were completely different and ruthless. When Fu Xiuyi first ascended the throne, King Zhou's people were sloppy and tried to make a comeback, but in the end they were all defeated by Pei Lang.

"I only ask you, do you help or not?" Shen Miao asked.

Pei Lang groaned: "The Ye family's current pattern in Longye is very delicate. Emperor Daliang had the intention of using the Ye family to deal with the Lu family, and the Ye family had no children, so it was better to control it. But if there are more children, the pattern will be broken again. ”

"The Ye family may defect, may fight with the Lu family, or may join forces with the royal family to deal with the Lu family, the appearance of Ye Lin and Ye Ke is an extremely delicate point in itself. The attitude of the royal family towards the Ye family will also affect the attitude of the Ye family towards the royal family. And at this time, the royal family should not act rashly, so they will be more polite to the Ye family. And you are the princess of Prince Rui's mansion, Prince Rui is the emperor's younger brother, and he is tied to the royal family. If you want the lives of the Ye family's sisters and brothers, Emperor Da Liang will not agree to it first. ”

Shen Miao stared at him: "I naturally know this, so the way I want you to think is that the royal family takes the initiative to deal with the Ye family." ”

"Whoever moves first will lose, the royal family is waiting, how can the Ye family not. If you must want the lives of the Ye family's siblings, you must first find a mistake in the Ye family, take the handle of the Ye family, and it is best to provoke disputes between the Ye family and the royal family. ”

Shen Miao asked, "What about the Lu family?"

Pei Lang was stunned.

"What if I let the Lu family and the Ye family stir up a dispute?"

Pei Lang shook his head: "You ...... I guess I want to protect the Prince's Palace. But I must advise you that the best of both worlds is impossible. The Lu family is not a fool, at this time, they will not take the initiative to compete with the Ye family. ”

Shen Miao said: "I understand. ”

"Do you really want to deal with the Ye family at the expense of offending the royal family?" Pei Lang frowned: "If you are really against the royal family, then there is ...... between Prince Rui and you." "It's bound to be suspicious, Pei Lang didn't continue. Although he is also very strange, Shen Miao's attitude towards Ye Lin's sister and brother is actually fierce at the expense of dying together.

What did the Ye lintel sister and brother do?

"I don't have a second way. Shen Miao lowered her eyes: "Maybe I don't have a fate with the royal family." "In the past and present lives, there is no escape from the fall of imperial power. But so what?

"How are you going to provoke?" Pei Lang asked.

"That's exactly what I'm going to discuss with you. Shen Miao said.

Da Liang and Ming Qi are completely different battlefields, and they are not very familiar with the forces of Longye, and they know very little about it now. She couldn't face Xie Jingxing calmly, but she was unwilling to let the enemy live well under her nose, thinking about it, even if the jade was burned, she would also avenge Wanyu and Fu Ming.

And Pei Lang is her only ally.

Pei Lang knows how to calculate, can plan, and he is the best at analyzing the situation in the court. Slander without a trace, easy provocation, this national teacher is a master. If she wants to join forces with Pei Lang, she must harvest these two lives. Even if the Ye family sisters and brothers are behind the big backers, she will even bring down the backers.

This discussion was actually discussed late at night.

By the time Shen Miaojue said that he was going back to his yard, it was already late. Only Shocking and Gu Yu accompanied her. She returned to her yard, pushed open the door, entered the house, and was about to take off her coat, when she suddenly moved, turned her head, Xie Jingxing was holding her chest, sitting at her desk, bored flipping through the book.

"Why are you here?" Shen Miao asked, "You...... Can you get out of bed?"

Today, Xie Jingxing is going to meet the two sisters and brothers, Shen Miao doesn't want to think about it, let alone see it, she is afraid that as soon as she sees this scene, she can't help but suspect some terrible possibilities. Out of sight is pure, but he didn't expect Xie Jingxing to come to the door by himself at this time.

Xie Jingxing smiled lazily, didn't answer her words, and said, "It's so late, why did you come back now?"

"I can't sleep," Shen Miao said, "I walked outside." ”

Xie Jingxing threw the book in his hand on the table with a "bang" and said, "Oh, didn't you go to tea and drink with Pei Lang?"

This posture turned out to be a teacher to ask for guilt.

Shen Miao's heart was full of Ye Lin's affairs, and she frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Half a month. Xie Jingxing said.

Shen Miao stared at him.

He also stared at her, his complicated gaze made Shen Miao feel a little palpitating for a moment, and he said, "I've been awake for half a month, and you have only come to see me once." ”

"Have you forgotten that you are the princess of Prince Rui's mansion and my wife. He said.

Shen Miao didn't speak, which couldn't be explained at all.

But Xie Jingxing stared at her, his eyes were disappointed and slightly angry, and he said, "I waited for you here for one night, and you were drinking tea and playing chess with Pei Lang." Shen Miao, do you like that scholar?"

A nameless fire suddenly surged in Shen Miao's heart, she was entangled in Ye Lin's affairs repeatedly, and she couldn't sleep at night, because there was a Prince Rui Mansion in the middle and didn't dare to play it arbitrarily, so that she missed the best opportunity and couldn't sharpen the enemy. In such a quagmire-like passage, Xie Jingxing could still get her and Pei Lang together. She said, "What does that have to do with you?"

Xie Jingxing dragged Shen Miao to his side, he dragged him so hard that Shen Miao almost fell, and was supported by him behind her head, Xie Jingxing pinched her chin and said word by word: "If I want you now, it will matter." ”

Shen Miao frowned and said, "Maybe we formed an alliance too hastily. ”

Xie Jingxing paused, looked at her deeply, and said, "Maybe?"

He suddenly let go of his hand, stood up suddenly, turned his back to Shen Miao, and said lightly: "Your heart is not made of iron." You only have use and scheming in your eyes, but I am a living person. ”

"Actually, you haven't been moved by it all the time. He said indifferently.
