The candle flame flickered, and the silhouette of the man at the table was hard and angular.

His complexion was not fair, wheat-colored, and had a bit of the roughness of battle. However, a pair of sword eyebrows are particularly heroic and flying, and the eyes are also deep and sharp, looking cold and calm.

Although he doesn't look very old, his eyes are full of maturity and vicissitudes that do not match his age.

After sitting down, he took out the letter from his sleeve that he had read so many times, carefully unfolded it again, and then carefully read every sentence on it.

At the end of reading, his eyes stopped on the word "Zhao Fuling" for a long time, and his eyes showed a rare tenderness.

The attendant Ah Yue watched from the side, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Childe, I'm going to see Miss Zhao soon, why do you bother to look at this dead thing again?" Wouldn't it be better to see the living? ”

The man was Shen Chi, he smiled when he heard this, folded the letter and put it away.

After doing this, he said slowly: "She is suffering in the palace, but I can't help it." When we meet again, I wonder if she will resent me? ”

When Ah Yue heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but lower his voice to comfort: "Childe is also forced to be helpless, besides, it was Miss Zhao who came to you first to break off the relationship." ”

Speaking of the past, there was some sadness in Shen Chi's eyes, and there was unspeakable pain.

He shook his head and said in a low voice, "She didn't want to do this, just to protect me and the Hou Mansion." ”

When the new emperor ascended the throne, these old ministers were in the way, and naturally they had to be uprooted one by one.

Li Ce's coercion of Zhao Lingling into the palace was just an excuse.

If he Shen Chi dares to resist the decree because of this, the end will be no different from the Sun family. It was because of this that Zhao Fuling personally asked him to cut off the relationship and set foot on the road to the palace.

This is what he Shen Chi owes Zhao Fuling, and it is also what their Yongning Marquis Mansion owes Zhao Fuling.

Shen Chi held back the astringent pain in his heart, closed his eyes and said, "Rest early, the road is still long, we have to rush over early." ”

Ah Yue hurriedly nodded: "Yes." ”

……

In the Lin Mansion, everyone had a good night's sleep.

Except for Zhao Fuling.

After seeing Du Qiushi's face at dinner, her dreams at night were full of her younger brother Siyuan's voice and smile.

After being awakened by the scene of Siyuan being caught in the tide of corpses again, Zhao Fuling didn't feel sleepy anymore, got up directly, and sat in front of the window with her eyes open until dawn.

In the early morning, after Peony got up, she was startled when she saw Zhao Fuling sitting in front of the window in a daze, and even her name became the same as before.

"Mother? Have you not slept all night? What happened? ”

Zhao Fuling was pulled back to her senses by her voice, turned her head to look at the peony, and then said softly: "It's okay." ”

I probably haven't rested well, my voice is a little hoarse, and my eyes are bloodshot.

After Peony got out of bed and saw it, she said distressedly: "Why don't you say a word when you can't sleep, it's okay to ask the slave to accompany you, why do you keep sitting here?" ”

After that, she said, "It's still early, do you want to go to sleep again?" ”

Zhao Fuling shook her head, looked at the sky outside and said, "Wash up, we'll leave later." ”

Yezhou is just a place to stay, and it can't stay for a long time, Li Jingmo should choose to set off early in the morning.

Sure enough, not long after Zhao Fuling finished speaking, the maid in the Lin Mansion came with a well-trained handkerchief holding a clear water handkerchief.

Seeing that Zhao Poria and Peony had already risen, they smiled and saluted, and waited for Zhao Poria to wash her face and tie her hair.

Now that she is out of Beijing, Zhao Fuling no longer has to pretend to be a man, and the ingenious maid combed her into an extremely good-looking bun.

The woman who has not left the pavilion does not need to pull up all her long hair, so Zhao Fuling left some of it behind her ears. But because it was hot, the maidservant girl braided her into pigtails.

The bun and the pigtails do not conflict, but make her more playful and agile in the gentleness.

Zhao Fuling looked at herself in the mirror, and her suppressed emotions were finally relieved.

She looked up at the maidservant girl for a long time, and praised with a smile: "It's very beautiful, and her hands are so skillful." ”

As soon as the words fell, the big girl next to her smiled and said, "If the girl likes it, you can take her with you when you leave the house this time." ”

Zhao Fuling was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "...... Take her with you? ”
