"I've already said that this matter has nothing to do with Tang Li." Shen Yanzhi threw the hemp rope aside and explained patiently.

"So what? As long as it's the dog emperor, everyone should die! You are not much better than her, when there was chaos in the palace, you and your mother didn't care about me when they ran away, and now what are you pretending to do! Do you really have a sister like me in your heart? Shen Nian sharply accused.

"I..."

Shen Yanzhi wanted to argue something, but when he thought of what she would think of her beloved father if he told her the truth of the facts, he suddenly didn't know whether he should say it or not, so he swallowed the words back.

After being silent for a long time, he sighed faintly and said slowly: "Nian Nian, in fact, I have a hard time, my mother took me out of the capital at the beginning It was really a last resort, we never thought of abandoning you, we didn't choose at that time." ”

"Oh, liar." Shen Nian smiled sarcastically: "Yes, you have a hard time, you all have a valid reason, I'm a fool." ”

"I..."

Shen Yanzhi was speechless for a moment, he didn't know what to choose, did he really want to tell her in person that her father, whom she had always respected, was a murderous villain? Even his mother was because of him... No, he can't say.

"I don't want to listen to your quibbles, you go, don't come back in the future, I don't want to see you."

"Shen Nian, don't be ignorant, Shen Yanzhi doesn't owe you anything."

Tang Li's voice rang in the ears of the two of them abruptly, and they realized that they didn't know when, Tang Li's cabin had pushed open the hidden hatch and walked in.

"Sister..."

Seeing Tang Li's arrival, Shen Nian and Shen Yanzhi were stunned at the same time, with different expressions on their faces. Shen Nian's face showed a hint of disgust, while Shen Yanzhi looked very entangled, because he knew Tang Li's personality too well.

Her eyes fell on Shen Yanzhi's face, a trace of complicated emotions flashed on Tang Li's face, she heard the conversation between the two outside the door just now, which made her feel very uncomfortable, because Shen Yanzhi was so good to Shen Nian, so good that she took all the fault on herself, but she didn't agree with Shen Yanzhi's approach this time, blindly giving in could not let Shen Nian go, but would only deepen Shen Nian's hatred for Shen Yanzhi, and would only make the contradictions between their brothers and sisters accumulate more and more, and eventually evolve into an irreparable situation.

Tang Li slowly approached and stood in front of them, a pair of eyes staring at Shen Yanzhi, she noticed that Shen Yanzhi's eyes were full of struggle, and she suddenly felt a sadness in her heart.

"Yan knows, the deceased have left this world forever, why not let the truth be revealed and let the living live a little happier?"

Shen Yanzhi looked at Tang Li, opened his mouth to say something, but when he thought of Tang Li's words just now, his words choked in his throat again, and he couldn't spit it out, and finally he had to sigh helplessly and nodded.

Seeing that Shen Yanzhi agreed, Tang Li stepped forward, squatted down opposite Shen Nian, looked at Shen Nian with both eyes, and asked word by word: "Shen Nian, do you remember how Shen Jiang tortured Shen Yanzhi when you were young?" ”

Hearing Tang Li's question, Shen Nian's face became a little pale, and in an instant, the expression on her face changed from resentment to sadness, she gritted her teeth, her face tightened, and her eyes showed deep sadness.

She knew, she always knew, otherwise how could she help her brother evade punishment three times or twice?

"You see, you remember it so clearly, why do you pretend not to know what kind of person your father is?" Tang Li's voice was very flat, but her every word was like a stone, and Shen Nian couldn't breathe.

Seeing this, Shen Yanzhi's heart suddenly tightened, but Tang Li didn't care about it, she continued to look at Shen Nian, and said coldly: "You think that your mother and your brother have abandoned your father and daughter, but in fact, in order to assist Meng Qi to force the palace, Shen Jiang used Shen Yanzhi's life to blackmail Doctor Qi to murder Empress Dowager Xu, and Doctor Qi had no choice but to take Shen Yanzhi to escape from Shen Mansion, and Doctor Qi, your biological mother, died under his butcher's knife on the way to escape. ”

"You... You are talking nonsense! My father hadn't done anything like that! How could he do such a heartless thing? He is so loving.... Mother her, she...."

Every word of Tang Li's words smashed towards Shen Nian like a boulder, smashing her head and making her head hurt as if it was about to explode.

Shen Nian stood up from the ground violently, glaring, her face full of anger, but when she thought of what her father did to her brother when she was a child, she still had a trace of fear in her heart, and all kinds of scenes from the past appeared in front of her eyes like a script, and every picture was so real that she couldn't help but tremble.

"Loving-kindness? Oh, that's just for you, not to mention that Shen Jiang helped the gang to make trouble for the abusers, but it's a fact, if you want to lie to yourself all the time, I don't mind, I will immediately send someone to send you back to the shore, and you will continue to be the leader of your rebels! Tang Li snorted coldly and said nonchalantly.

Shen Nian's face has become very ugly at this moment, a cold air rises from the soles of her feet, she feels that her whole body is cold, as if she was frozen in an instant, her hands trembled slightly, her face was pale, she didn't expect to expose the truth, it was so cruel, she had secretly guessed in the past, but she couldn't believe that her mother was no longer there, and even her father did it himself.

She didn't answer Tang Li's words, but avoided Tang Li's gaze and looked at the ground blankly, and the mist slowly spread in her eyes unconsciously.

When Shen Yanzhi saw Shen Nian's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and hurriedly walked to Shen Nian's side, gently hugged her shoulders, and comforted her silently.

"Brother, I..."

Shen Nian sobbed, turned around and threw herself into Shen Yanzhi's arms, crying so much that pear blossoms brought rain, her voice trembled, she didn't dare to imagine that her father was really such a cruel person, she always thought that her father was the most gentle man in the world, he was always so tolerant and caring for herself, although her character was a little rebellious, but her feelings for her father were extremely deep, and now the truth hit her to the extreme.

She suddenly felt a trance, her revenge all the time now seemed like a big joke, her heart was full of remorse and pain, she didn't want to believe that this was the truth, but she had to accept the facts, she felt like her heart was being twisted, she didn't know what to do.

"It's okay, it's all over, and my brother will always be with you in the future."

Shen Yanzhi patted Shen Nian on the back gently, he knew that now was not the time to persuade or comfort Shen Nian, Shen Nian needed to vent, the only thing he could do was to accompany her quietly.

Tang Li looked at the two people hugging each other, and couldn't help but feel sad, she seemed to see her when she was young, her father comforted her, her father would always gently hug her, gently coax her, let her not cry, don't worry, at that time, she was really happy, but unfortunately, this happiness completely dissipated after she grew up.

Now that she saw such a scene again, the emotion in her heart was really difficult to describe in words, and she didn't want to disturb the warm scene in front of her, so she quietly turned around and left the room, came to the deck, looked at the white clouds floating on the sea, her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but feel an urge to cry.

"Ahh ---”

Just when Tang Li was in a daze, a man's scream suddenly came into her ears, which frightened her heart, but when she looked back, the deck was empty, and even the patrolling soldiers disappeared at this moment, and the quiet sea breeze came from all directions, blowing her long hair, lifting her clothes, and a chill instantly invaded her skin, making her shiver and goosebumps all over her body.

What's going on? Did you just hear it wrong?

She rubbed her eyes, and glanced into the distance again, after confirming that there was no figure on the deck, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but as soon as she relaxed, she heard a burst of rushing water behind her, she followed the sound to look over, it was still empty, this time she did not hesitate, ran directly to the source of the sound quickly, the sound of the rushing water kept coming, the sound of the water was getting closer and closer, and finally Tang Lili ran to the destination, and found a glowing bead slowly floating on the sea, and was slowly moving around the sailboat at the moment.

Tang Carp leaned on the deck and poked his head out to carefully observe the light beads, the color of this bead was white as a whole, I don't know if it was the reason for the reflection of the sea surface, at this moment it was faintly glowing with blue light, and there was a faint light around it, like a glowing blue jade gem.

She stretched out her hand and touched the light bead, there was a soft and cold touch on her hand, which made people feel very comfortable, and this bead seemed to have a huge magic power, as long as she touched it, she would be attracted to it, Tang Li itched to hold the light bead in her hand, wanting to test whether it was really as simple as it seemed on the surface, suddenly, Tang Li felt a strong pulling force pulling her up from the ground, as if to drag her underwater.

Startled, Tang Li hurriedly let go of his hand, and at the same time, the light bead began to swim around the sailboat crazily, and the water surface followed the trajectory of the light bead with layers of waves, and after two circles in a row, it suddenly burrowed into the water and disappeared with the waves.

Tang Li's only then did she realize that the light beads she saw just now were not floating on the water, but connected to an unknown creature underwater, that creature was like a big fish, its head was flung upwards with glowing flesh beads, forming a current of water rotating on the sea surface, it was like a giant beast looking for prey with a lantern, and was waiting for the target with its mouth open.

Prey? Could it be that it was swimming around the sailboat just now, taking the people on board as prey?

Tang Carp stepped back in some horror, and couldn't help but gasp, she had never seen such a huge and terrifying creature, although she didn't know what it was, but such a huge creature could never be an ordinary big fish, could it be the demon beast mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"?

Thinking of the power of the light bead just now, Tang Li couldn't help but tremble, and unconsciously moved backwards, at this time she felt a palm stretched out and grabbed her, Tang Li was suddenly startled, and almost exclaimed, his body shuddered violently, and when he raised his head to look, he found that it was Shen Yanzhi.

"Sister, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with you?"

Shen Yanzhi looked at Tang Li's pale little face, a little worried, as soon as he came out of the cabin, he saw her standing on the deck alone, with a solemn expression, and there was a trace of panic and fear in a trance.
