Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Late Night Meeting

What is homology?

Wen Tiantian was originally reborn in Budong Immortal, and on the surface she was no different from an ordinary girl, but in fact she was a ghost fairy with strong spiritual power. If Jiang Simo is of the same origin as her, is Qiu Yan alluding to the fact that Mr. Jiang is not human?

"You suspect he ......"

Before she finished speaking, Fang Qiuyan held her hand tightly, and Wen Tiantian immediately closed her mouth. After all, this place is a palace, and it is inevitable that there are ears on the wall, Qiu Yan doesn't want to expose the matter about the evil sorcerer for the time being, so naturally she and Jiang Simo's true identities can't be known by outsiders.

"Let's go, let's go to the banquet for a walk, and then go home when we're full." Helping her take her outer robe, Fang Qiuyan said softly, "I've worked hard for you today, let's go back and rest for the night, and set off for the southeast tomorrow." ”

Such an arrangement is naturally for her sake, and Qiu Yan is worried about her body.

Wen Tiantian smiled and stuffed his hand into his warm palm, shook his head and said, "You are not only worried about the disaster in the southeast, but I am also very anxious. Anyway, you're all ready, why don't we leave tonight, and we can get there sooner. ”

Fang Qiuyan's eyes sank, and he felt a little sorry in his heart: "Don't worry, it's really difficult to accompany me to the capital for you." After returning from the southeast, if you want to go back to the mountains and continue to live a carefree life, I will send you back. If you want to stay in the capital, you can stay at home and clean in the future, and I don't have to do anything by myself that needs to be done outside, so I don't have to worry about me all the time. ”

Wen Tiantian was suddenly unhappy, turned her little hand, and pinched him fiercely in his palm: "What do you mean, you still want to leave me after this one?" Just returned the lady's mother's son, and you're going to send me away now? ”

"Fang Qiuyan, let me tell you, since you promised to marry me, you have to let yourself be good. This kind of thought should be put away early, I'm not the eldest lady, as long as I can be with you, why can't I endure it? Underestimate me! ”

glanced at him, Wen Tiantian pulled him out with his backhand, looking angry.

Fang Qiuyan looked at her petite and stubborn back and couldn't cry or laugh, and she didn't know who was lying in the small courtyard and talking about being a "salted fish" every day, but when she came to the capital, she became full of fighting spirit, this girl really gave up for him.

Walking two steps side by side with her, the two of them held hands and walked in the corridor as if no one was around, the corners of Wen Tiantian's mouth quietly raised an arc, and his heart was sweet.

The lively back garden was full of laughter, but they only had each other in their eyes, and the sour smell of love made the palace maids and eunuchs passing by bow their heads and chuckle.

The dinner party was naturally very boring, Fang Qiuyan held a wine glass and greeted the military generals of Wenchen, while Wen Tiantian ran to Fang Guijun to eat and drink, which provoked Fang Guijun to complain that his son would not take care of his daughter-in-law, and look at the girl who is hungry!

Wen Tiantian smiled bitterly while eating, glanced at the man from afar, Fang Qiuyan turned her head with a feeling, and winked at her through the crowd. The little ambiguity between the two fell into Qian Shiyue's eyes, she lowered her eyelids, and walked out of the noisy palace alone through the side door.

There is no danger in appreciating the plum banquet, and the bodies of the dead palace people have already been cleaned up. Many people naturally received the relevant news, but no one in the venue mentioned it, and everyone was speculating about Fang Qiuyan's intentions.

In the prison, Shi Tianming, who was in tatters and clothes, was lying on a wooden bed, with a pale face and closed eyes, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old. He was cold, his face was as dead as ashes, as if he had been sucked dry of life by a ghost.

There was the sound of shallow footsteps in the empty prison, and a woman wrapped in a black cloak slowly walked slowly from the dim light, her wide robe covering her figure, and her face could not be seen.

The footsteps stopped at the door of the cell, looking at the unkempt man inside, and a hint of gloom floated on the delicate face hidden under the hood.

There was no one in the prison, not even a jailer.

"He's gone."

The woman said in a deep voice, "That woman is with him." Tomorrow he will set out with his troops, presumably because he has discovered the problem in the southeast. ”

"Today's matter has been suppressed by him, the martial arts secret book you practiced is now in Su Zihe's hands, and I will find a way to get that thing back after he leaves."

"Cheats...... Cheats ......" The unconscious Shi Tianming heard the words "Martial Arts Cheats", suddenly opened his eyes, and muttered words back and forth in his mouth that he couldn't hear clearly.

"Tsk." The woman scolded impatiently in a low voice, "Obsessed, you still don't understand it, then the old dog of Beiguan is using you!" What bullshit's martial arts cheats, it's clearly a demon method that captures people's minds. If it weren't for Fang Qiuyan knowing that you were being used this time, he would have killed you in the main hall long ago. ”

"Someone must be responsible for the lives of 50,000 people, and since this matter has fallen on you in public, I can't do much. With Fang Qiuyan's means, he will definitely use you as a clue to secretly investigate Beiguan Cheng. ”

Speaking of this, the woman sighed: "I said a long time ago that the evil law can't save the royal family, why don't you listen?" ”

Shi Tianming, who was lying on the bed, had dull eyes, did not react to her words, and still muttered vague words. The woman closed her eyes, turned around, and withdrew her gaze.

"I'll find a way to let you return to your hometown, this capital...... Don't come back. ”

The words were full of sadness. She was able to successfully sit in the back seat from the thousands of beauties in the harem, and she had a great credit to Shi Tianming. At the time of the death of the first emperor, countless forces showed their powers, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and the unknown Fang Qiuyan suddenly won the support of the two major factions of commerce and politics, and completely purged the court inside and outside. The eight deep-rooted families died and scattered, and her master's family was also affected. Although it didn't end up so miserably in the end, only she and Shi Tianming, the two siblings in the family lineage, presided over the overall situation, how could there be no feelings between the two?

She is a woman, and she is the queen mother of the auxiliary government. Whether it is the court or the harem, feelings are the most useless things.

Shi Tianming, who was lying on the wooden board, opened his eyes, his cloudy gaze was not focused, and he stopped talking nonsense. Her pale, chapped lips pursed slightly, and she said no more......

The cold wind swept across her cheeks, and the woman who walked out of the prison paused, and continued silently towards the brightly lit palace, where flakes of snow covered the ground with a layer of silver.

The first snow in the capital arrived as scheduled.

In the courtyard, the woman who took off her dress had already bathed and changed her clothes, changed into a soft and elegant underwear, and stood in front of the window with a thick fox fur robe, holding a bowl of gradually cooling osmanthus and red date soup in her hand.

"Miss, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

The maid made the bed and stood beside her with her eyebrows lowered, she had served the young lady for many years, and she could see that the young lady was in a gloomy mood after returning from the plum banquet, and she was a little more careful when serving.

"Got it, you go down."

Qian Shiyue's voice was still smooth and soft, and she couldn't hear anything unusual.

The little maid wanted to say something when she heard this, but her own lady was capable but introverted, she could take care of all kinds of things in an orderly manner, and her heart was never exposed. She always treats people with a gentle and shallow smile, does not cry or make trouble, and is a model for famous and noble women.

However, after many years of getting along, her young lady never seemed to be truly happy, even if the corners of her mouth were raised, there was still no smile in her eyes.

The maidservant gave a salute, closed the door and withdrew, and there was no sound in the room where the candles flickered.

At some point, a light snow began to fall outside, and the crystal clear snowflakes were swept down on the windowsill by the breeze.

Qian Shiyue came back to her senses, and her beautiful eyes looked at the snow that was falling more and more, and finally smiled self-deprecatingly and closed the window.

She is a talented woman in the capital, and she is a beautiful lady who is admired and sought after by thousands of people, so she can't lose her temper, can't let herself cry, and can't take the love of others.

This night, Qian Shiyue lay in bed on time, with her eyes closed, but she never fell asleep.

A faint black mist drifted into the room through the cracks in the unclosed windows, condensing into a fist-sized ball that stayed beside the bed.

"Shiyue, Shiyue."

"Obviously looking forward to me coming, but you ignore me when I come, it's really disappointing."

The sound of a light laugh sounded beside the bed, and Qian Shiyue, who closed her eyes, opened her eyes suddenly, and looked out vigilantly with her head sideways.

Through the curtain, a tall figure stood in the room. There was silence all around, and she seemed to be able to hear the man's shallow breathing.

"II...... Second son. ”

The figure sighed when he heard this: "Shiyue, you didn't call me that when you were a child, why did you become unfamiliar when you grew up?" ”

Qian Shiyue slowly sat up from the bed, reached out to touch the curtain, and hesitated to open it. She only felt a slight heat in the corners of her eyes, and her calm heart gradually vibrated with his deep voice.

"Qiu Yan...... Brother. ”

As thin as a mosquito and a fly, Qian Shiyue grabbed the brocade quilt in her left hand and forced herself to look away from the figure.

"Is there something wrong with you coming to me so late? Mr. Jiang's side has already said hello to the dean, as long as he agrees, he can be used by you at any time, and there is no need to explain any actions to the Qianjia. ”

The only thing she could think of was Jiang Simo's affairs, and she didn't dare to say anything else. Fang Qiuyan has already expressed her attitude, and her quiet withdrawal is to give the two of them the greatest dignity.

The figure outside was silent for a while, and sighed: "Is there only business between you and me?" ”

Qian Shiyue's eyes moved slightly: "Otherwise? ”

The figure took half a step forward, sitting gently on the footrest of the bed, with his back against the edge of the bed, how could he have half the majesty of a regent in the daytime?

"I know that you have a grudge against me, a mountain woman who refuses to look at you, hates me for delaying your good years, and finally loses your preference."

Yes, he understands it, but why do it?

Is it happy to see her sad and sad, laughed at by others?

Qian Shiyue bit her lip and swallowed back the words hidden in her heart. She is a dignified and virtuous lady, how can she accuse a man like a resentful woman?

"You're here to tell me this?"

The man chuckled lowly, "Who made you jealous so obviously." provoked Wen Tiantian in public at the banquet, you knew that she was born in the mountains and had no talent, and you still wanted her to make a fool of herself in front of everyone. ”

"So, the prince came to me for revenge for this, or did he give me a warning?" Qianshiyue's voice is still steady, but there is a trace of bitterness in her heart.

"Definitely." The man tilted his head, and through the curtains of the bed, he could see his vague outline, and smell the faint cold fragrance coming from him.

"Recently, there have been some unknown incidents in the DPRK, and Wen Tiantian's woman is the key to breaking the situation. She uses my power to gain glory, and I use her power to solve the problems in front of us, and everyone takes what they need. Otherwise, why do you think a woman from a mountain village entered the palace? ”

Having said this, Qian Shiyue, who was originally depressed, suddenly brightened her eyes, and the haze in her heart suddenly dissipated.

"You two, just a deal?"

She is a merchant family and has been in business since her grandfather's generation. For businessmen, interests are always paramount, and feelings are just bargaining chips for trading, and they are not worthy of being named as a life-and-death contract.

"Silly girl."

The man didn't say much about the complicated calculations. He stood up and walked to the table, and Qian Shiyue saw the hazy figure placing an object on the table.

"Solve the matter one day earlier, I can let this woman get out of the capital one day earlier, so as not to delay my three media and six appointments to marry you into the palace, after all, my position as a princess is only reserved for you from childhood to adulthood."

"Brother Qiu Yan......"

Qian Shiyue's heart shook violently, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at the vague man's back fixedly, her mind was blank.
