Chapter 57: The Devil's Pact (1)
"Gao Wen......" When Gao Wen went out of the dormitory, he called out coldly.
Even though the dormitory was full of books, it still made Leng Xin feel empty, she knew this feeling of isolation and helplessness too well, so when Gawain left, she felt that she was stuck in the same feeling that she could hear the voices of others, but she could not do anything about the future.
Was the choice and decision she made the right one?
The visit ended in this very unpleasant atmosphere. But this is just the beginning, according to the plan made in advance, Duanmu Heqing reconciled Jiuhuan and the others, not to mention that they would have to stay in the imperial city for about ten days, and there were still things to do such as tribute, repayment, etc.
Since Duanmu and Qing arrived at the Vermilion Bird Palace, Duanmu and Yong disappeared as if out of thin air, and they didn't come out of their rooms all day long. He didn't want to see his brother, and for good reason. On the other hand, Duanmu and Qing still have to deal with the daily affairs of Zezhiguo at any time, and he didn't want to break the knot with Duanmu Heyong this time, so he just let it go.
Except for Duanmu and Qing to greet him when they came, and reported the recent affairs of the Imperial City and Duanmu Heyong, Shaya did not have too much contact with him. Originally, the relationship between the three of them was very tangled and awkward, and this was the best choice.
At night, Shaya changed into the clothes of a royal commoner, slipped out of the Suzaku Hall, and went to the front of a row of rooms at the back of the garden, "Are the people already here?" she asked the boy who looked like her at the door.
Edward pushed open the door and let her in, "Our people are already here. He was a little surprised by his sister's arrival, "Are you going to join us too?"
Shaya lit the lamp, "I just came to see you." Her family all stayed in Ze Zhiguo, and Edward came with Duanmu Heqing this time, "Edward, I will help you because you are my younger brother, as for other things, you don't have to think about it anymore." ”
Edward knew Shaya's personality, and she had already said that if she didn't want to help again, she would definitely not have anything to do with what he was going to do, "Sister, no matter what, thank you." ”
Shaya smiled softly and touched Edward's head, "You've grown a lot taller! When I was in the Vermilion Bird Palace, I made you a few new sets of clothes, and I don't know if you can still wear them now." ”
Edward laughed too, "We haven't seen each other in a long time! I'll go get the clothes when they're done here!"
There was no one in the room except for the two of them, Shaya turned around, clicked on the wall a few times, and a dark passage appeared, she took the lamp and walked down the steps, and in the dark room underground, there were many elderly people with black hair and black eyes.
Edward introduced her, "Sister, this is Sir Rimon, the negotiator this time. ”
Shaya nodded slightly, "Edward, I have to go back soon, you have to be careful, you know?" she admonished, and hurried away. Edward followed him out, and Ser Rimon said to the others, "Edward's sister, Shaya, the great steward of the Suzaku Palace, has provided us with this place. ”
"Why didn't she join us, like his brother?" someone asked.
"Her family has long been out of our business, Edward is a special case, and she is also because of her brother who will provide us with such help, but that's the end of it. Sir Rimon shook his head, "Besides, she can't use magical powers, and to us, it's of no use at all. ”
