Chapter 118: Cooperation

Why have you never told yourself about these plans?

Lin Yanxi didn't want to stay in the capital at all, this was something she had always planned.

She supported him to enter the East Palace, became the emperor, and was trapped in the palace all his life, and the two could not see each other in this life.

Shen Muzhou hid behind the door and sneered, there was not the slightest trace of her own in her plan.

Lin Ruoyan asked in surprise, "Then sister, don't you like Shen Muzhou?" What will he do if you leave the capital?"

When Shen Muzhou was mentioned, Lin Yanxi was troubled by an inexplicable emotion in his heart, sullen, sour, and reluctant......

But in her previous life, she thought that if she avoided the destruction of her innocence in the forest and avoided the marriage with the prince, she would not repeat it, but she was still involved in the matter of her life again.

This strengthened the idea of taking the Taifu Mansion away from the capital and away from the royal family.

She forcibly suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart, and her voice became cold, "I don't like it..... What is there about him that I like? It's just a collaboration between us."

"I helped him ascend to the throne, and he helped me avenge my mother."

Lin Ruoyan didn't believe it at all, and asked in surprise, "But are your kindness to him also fake?"

Lin Yanxi was even more annoyed by the question, and said indiscriminately, "That's just a show of favor from others."

Shen Muzhou stood in place sluggishly, even if she said the most hurtful words, her voice was soft and sweet, and the words were heart-wrenching, like a knife scraping on the tip of her heart.

Yes, a person like him, what is there to like her.

Sadly, he knew he didn't have a right to be upset, it was supposed to be a deal, and while in prison, she made it clear.

It was he who violated the rules of this transaction, but sometimes after getting along for a long time, he would have a trace of expectation, thinking that after going through so much together, there could be some differences between them.

Lin Ruoyan didn't understand her sister, she kept saying that she didn't like Shen Muzhou, but she was worried that he would go to prison, so she sacrificed her life to save him, and there were many bits and pieces.

Sister is very measured with people she doesn't like, and she draws the line between the two very clearly, but only when she is with Shen Muzhou, she will not resist his initiative to approach.

Are these all performances?

Lin Ruoyan couldn't figure it out, Lin Yanxi sighed, and her heart was also sullen and uncomfortable.

She continued to persuade Ruoyan and said, "So, you are obedient, stop participating in the dispute between the two parties, stop worrying about the prince's affairs, he should pay the price for what he has done."

"When it's all over, I'll take you out of here and live a life of ease and freedom."

Lin Ruoyan's eyes drooped, she was stunned and didn't speak, her eyes were a little empty and dull, as if she was thinking about something.

Lin Yanxi saw that she listened to her words, so she pulled her to leave the house and go outside.

Ruoyan grabbed Lin Yanxi's sleeve with her backhand and whispered, "Sister, then at least let him live."

"I...... I'm glad."

Lin Yanxi looked at her in shock and turned her head to look at her, and a trace of chill climbed up from her heart.

Lin Ruoyan took a deep breath and sobbed and cried quietly: "I didn't come last month, and this month is too, I don't have any appetite yet, I want to vomit."

She cried a little breathlessly, and asked helplessly, "Sister, what should I do?"

Lin Yanxi held her in her arms, her hand gently stroked her hair, she sobbed for a long time in Lin Yanxi's arms and whispered, "I'm sorry Sister, I'm sorry."

"Daddy is going to beat me to death...... I'm really scared, I don't know what to do, sister, you can help me."

In the gloomy grain warehouse, Lin Yanxi also fell into a kind of despair, recalling what Shen Qingyun had done in her previous life, beating her child to a miscarriage.

She was really afraid that these things would reappear on Lin Ruoyan's body.

Lin Yanxi's voice was slightly unsteady, and he asked calmly, "Ruoyan take the child away."

Lin Ruoyan stiffened, pushed away Lin Yanxi's embrace, and asked in disbelief, "Ah

Sister, would you rather me have a miscarriage than let Shen Qingyun live? He has harmed a lot of people, and he has been deposed as the crown prince, or he has been punished more severely to make amends, but he has to kill them all?"

Lin Yanxi said, "I'm for your good."

She finally said what her mother used to say to her.

In the past, she didn't understand and hated the most, and her mother used "for your good" as an excuse to do things that hurt her, but now she can understand all this.

"For my sake, you will let Shen Qingyun go!" Lin Ruoyan said angrily, she touched the tears on her face and insisted, "I won't take this child away, I will give birth to him."

"Okay, then you go to Zhuangzi first to raise the baby with peace of mind, and after the child is born, my sister will raise him with you." Lin Yanxi didn't know what she was talking about, what the women in Nanmin Capital City cared about most was the festival.

But she thought that she had the money and the power, and she would take her sister away from the capital, and maybe she could raise a child without relying on men.

It's better than letting Ruoyan repeat the misery of her past life.

Lin Ruoyan pushed Lin Yanxi away again, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes, "You know how important a woman's name is, do you want me and my children to be pointed at and unable to raise their heads in the future?"

"You're so selfish."

After she finished speaking, she rushed out of the grain depot, got into the carriage, and let the little maid go to the Taifu Mansion.

When Lin Yanxi went out, he found that it was raining again, and Xiao Liu led the carriage outside, held an umbrella and greeted him, "Second Miss, it was the prince who asked me to wait here to take you back to the house."

She replied a little dejectedly, without thinking too much.

After returning home, she paused when she passed Shen Muzhou's courtyard, and looked inside from the outside, the house was pitch black, and there was no candlelight.

She asked the guards outside the courtyard, "Hasn't the prince come back yet?"

The guard glanced inside a few times and said, "Second Miss Hui, the prince should be resting."

Lin Yanxi looked at the courtyard for a long time before nodding and leaving.

Shen Muzhou sat alone on the wooden chair in the study, the room was pitch black, only the dim moonlight poured in through the window, and his god-like silhouette seemed even deeper and colder in the darkness.

---

Lin Yanxi didn't sleep much for almost a night.

As soon as it was dawn, I went to find Shen Muzhou.

"Shen Muzhou."

Seeing that he happened to be standing in the courtyard with Xiao Liu, discussing something, she walked over to him.

When she reached the gate of the courtyard, the guards stopped her.

"Shen Muzhou!" She shouted his name inside in a bit of a fussy.

Shen Muzhou still lowered his eyes and said something, and didn't raise his eyes to look at her, Lin Yanxi didn't understand what she had done wrong, she stood outside the courtyard and waited for him.

The autumn morning was still a little cool, the wind mixed with the chill poured into her body, and she was thinly dressed, standing a little shrunken in the cold.

"Ahem, ahem." She coughed softly twice and sniffed twice.

After hearing her cough, Shen Muzhou paused slightly and said, "Let's do this first, I'm going to the palace."

After saying that, he walked over head-on, and Xiao Liu followed him.

Seeing him coming, Lin Yanxi hooked a bright smile, revealing a row of small white teeth.

Shen Muzhou passed by her directly and did not stop.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yanxi stomped his feet angrily and followed.

Xiao Liu turned around and stopped her and said, "Second Miss, the prince is busy with business today, let's talk about it later."

Lin Yanxi came to look for him early in the morning, and he was hung outside for so long, in exchange for him ignoring himself?

Her little temperament came up at once, and she didn't let go, "Get out of the way! I'm going to say it now!"

Xiao Liu didn't move away: "Miss, if there is anything you can tell Xiao Liu, I will help you convey it."

She frowned, watching Shen Muzhou go farther and farther, and she didn't know what she had done wrong.

He watched the prince go farther and farther, and said, "Miss, there is

Let's talk about it when we come back, Xiaoliu will say goodbye!"

After speaking, he caught up with the steps of the prince.

Lin Yanxi whispered, "Inexplicable."

After they walked away, Shen Muzhou asked, "Did she go back?"

Xiao Liu looked back, and there was no light apricot figure on the path for a long time, "Go back."

"Hmm." He answered, took two more steps and said, "Let the cook in the house prepare a cold soup for breakfast and send it over together."

Xiao Liu said with a knowing expression, "Yes."

After a while, he said, "Since the prince cares so much about the second miss, why do you deliberately snub her."

Shen Muzhou had no expression on his face, and said flatly, "I have always treated people like this."

Xiao Liu was in a trance for a moment, feeling that the prince had returned to the previous prince, full of anger, cold eyebrows and eyes, and he looked alienated and indifferent to everyone.

Lin Yanxi went to the backyard in the morning to see Jiang Mingsheng.

Fortunately, after taking a lot of medicine, the injury on his leg did not continue to worsen.

Later in the evening, she went to the Night Division.

When the people of the Dark Night Division saw her coming, they said in unison, "I've seen Second Miss."

Lin Yanxi originally wanted to come to discuss Shen Qingyun's matter with Shen Muzhou early in the morning, but Shen Muzhou ignored her, so she could only come over by herself.

"Take me to see Shen Qingyun." Lin Yanxi said.

The guards of the Dark Night Division all knew her, and they also knew that the prince cherished this second lady very much and did not dare to disobey her, but Shen Qingyun was extremely special, and no one dared to bring someone over without the prince's order.

The guard said, "Second Miss, please wait a moment, and come back to the prince."

Lin Yanxi didn't embarrass them, nodded and said, "Okay."

She waited in front of the door of the Dark Night Division, bowed her head and kicked the pebbles on the ground, Shen Muzhou rushed to see her figure from a distance, and her eyes became colder.

He walked up to Lin Yanxi, she looked up at him, and said with a smile, "Are you free to see me?"

Shen Muzhou glanced at her slightly, and slowly said to the guard, "Take her to see Shen Qingyun."

Guard, "Yes."

The guards led the way in front, Shen Muzhou and Lin Yanxi walked side by side, no one spoke again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Lin Yanxi couldn't stand this atmosphere first, so he took the initiative to grab Shen Muzhou, stuffed his small hand into his big hand, and said in order to ease the relationship, "Where did the courtier displease the prince, and ask the prince to make it clear."

Feeling her small, slender hand grasp his palm, he stopped and raised his obscure eyes to look at her.

The little girl smiled cutely and flatteringly, and there was no scheming in her clear eyes, and she could even see clear love from the bottom of her eyes.

And these are all fake.

The corners of his mouth tensed, and he sneered and shook off her hand, "What? Is this also a gesture of favor that you ask for?"
