Manual of the East Palace Mutual Performance Section 35
Then he will trust her completely, he will feel at ease, and perhaps he will feel guilty, and what she will do in the future will be much smoother.
But there seemed to be a thousand pounds under her feet, and her steps slowly stopped.
The two were still six or seven paces apart, she looked at him from a distance, pinched her palm, and forced a voice out of her throat: "Ah Che." β
The author has something to say:

Chapter 31
βNo matter why Shen Che came here today, her first thing is to settle his heart. β
Shen Che watched her enter the door, obviously it was not a good time, but the sky was too gloomy, and her expression was hidden in the dark, so that people could not see it really.
Neither of them took another step, and no one spoke again. In rainy weather, the air is viscous.
After a while, Shen Che exhaled heavily.
The voice she called, there was a slight tremor in her voice for no apparent reason. The moment he heard it, the hand hanging by his side subconsciously clenched and slowly released.
Doing nothing is the best thing to do for yourself and her right now.
In this moment of silence, the pond lowered his gaze, and it didn't take long for a layer of mist to emerge from his eyes.
She didn't want to get close to Shen Che, but this was the first time they had met since she was sent to the East Palace. She should always be a little emotional.
She thought about it all night yesterday, how to behave in order to make Shen Che and the Chi family feel at ease - in fact, it is not difficult, what they want is nothing more than a weak and powerless chess piece.
During these days, the prince spoiled her very much, and they were both happy and worried.
The good news is that the role of her chess piece may be greater than they expected, and the worry is whether she will be tempted by the prince's menacing favor and turn against her, even if they have Song Rongying in their hands.
They are worried, afraid that she will get out of control, and they will inevitably want to toss Song Rongying to see her weight in her heart.
No matter where Shen Che came today, her first priority was to settle his heart.
There was a faint sound of dull thunder, one closer than the other, and the sound of rain "brushed" and poured down, coming in a hurry.
Shen Che turned around and sat down, the boiling water rushed into the tea, and the rising mist made him cough for a while, and then he looked up and said to her: "It's not good, did you get cold on the way here?" β
As usual, it seemed that she was just going to the suburbs of Beijing to play these days, rather than being sent into Longtan by him personally.
He shook his head, sat down across from him, and reached out to take the tea. Her eyes were red, and she looked down at the tea cup in her handβit was freshly boiled tea, and no matter how thick the tea cup was, it was still hot, and she held it like this, but her hand turned red in a moment.
Shen Che frowned and pulled the teacup out of her hand steadily.
At this moment, she seemed to finally be unable to hold back, raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were hazy with tears, and her voice trembled: "I don't want to stay there." It was like a death row. β
When he put down the teacup, the tea shook a little, and a few drops burst out, splashing on the back of his hand, and burning red. He didn't realize it, he just looked at her and asked, "He's not good to you?" β
Akichi shook his head, "It's not good or bad. He's kind of pampered me, but I don't like him. Every moment by his side is like sitting on pins and needles. β
"Ache, it's too hard. I just thought about these words in my heart and never showed them in front of him. But even so, he couldn't completely let down his guard against me, and I was afraid of making a mistake every day, for fear of making a mistake. β
The rain is getting heavier.
She grabbed his sleeve, as if grasping at the last straw: "Ah Che, will you take me back?" β
The hand in Shen Che's sleeve tightened.
Since she returned to Beijing, she hadn't looked at him with such eyes for a long time, wholeheartedly and full of trust.
A muffled thunder exploded.
The little looseness in his heart was suppressed by him, his eyes were calm, and he looked at her like a child who was lazy and refused to study hard.
Last night, news came from the East Palace, saying that the prince was very affectionate to her, and the two had dinner together.
The prince was okay with her, and she was in much better shape than he expected, so it should be fine. In this way, he was also relieved.
So he only held her hand with restraint, "If everything goes well, two years, three years at most, I will take you out." β
She seized on the loophole in his words, and the tears fell just right: "What if it doesn't go well? β
As the tear fell, she could clearly feel the sudden force of his hand holding her.
In fact, there were no ups and downs in her heart from beginning to end, and she was even thinking that his sincerity was only in this hand.
"It won't go well." He stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, and his tone was gentle: "Stay up, it will pass soon." β
Zhichi withdrew his hand, let out a low "um", and paused, his nasal voice was thick, but the tail note was rising, as if he was expecting everything to go well and she would be able to get out of the East Palace as soon as possible: "That...... Is there anything I need to do these days? β
She didn't believe that Shen Che was taking such a big risk, she just wanted to see her. Instead of waiting for him to say, she took the initiative to ask.
Shen Che put the hot tea back in her hand, which was almost enough to eat.
On the day he arranged for Xiao Wu to go to Chi's house to get the letter, he was just worried about her and wanted to see her. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the situation in the court has changed again.
Now he really needs her to do something.
He asked her to copy a list.
The aftershocks of the matter of please Lixin were still there, and at this time, the case of illegal salt investigated by Senator Lin in the autumn of last year was turned over again - that case was found to involve some officials in Beijing.
After Senator Narin's death, the saint actually knew about it. Among them, those who have a relationship with Ning Zhen have been properly disposed of-but that is in private.
In the early dynasty, after the bright face, the nature is different.
The saint was not in a good mood in the past few days, and immediately said in the Qianzheng Hall that a group of officials would be transferred.
This matter is not trivial, Ning Zhen originally wanted to take this errand on himself, but the saint did not allow it.
At this time, someone proposed that since Senator Lin was arranged by the prince to go to Jingzhou before, it is only appropriate for the prince to solve the matter involved now.
After going back and forth, the matter of drawing up a list of officials to transfer fell on the head of the East Palace. Because of this, the crown prince was released from the ground.
There were a few names in Shen Che's mouth that she sounded very unfamiliar to, but after he finished speaking, she roughly understood what Ning Xun had been busy with in the study these days.
"Take a chance to write down that list, and someone will come to you to get it."
Zhichi looked embarrassed and a little panicked: "But I don't know if I can do it well, he has never seen government affairs in front of me." β
She knew she didn't have the right to say no, but there was something she had to say.
"Just do your best, don't be nervous, take it easy." He poured another cup of hot tea for her, and said softly: "If he really finds out, don't panic, I'm sure you don't know." Someone will come out to take the blame. β
He replied with a low voice and took a sip of hot tea.
I don't know if I should sigh that the dignified East Palace is like a sieve, or if I should be afraid of Shen Che's pervasiveness.
In the space where she bowed her head, Shen Che took out a letter and a pair of dancing shoes from the side and handed them to her: "Mrs. Song is very good, you can rest assured." Lang Zhong also said that if he continues to raise it like this, he will be able to live a normal life for another year and a half. β
His eyes lit up, and he first took the dancing shoes and looked at them carefully, then put them on his lap and opened the letter.
It was written by his mother, and his handwriting was beautiful, and it was not as weak as in his previous illness.
Seeing that her mother was indeed well taken care of in the Chi family, she put her mind at ease, folded the letter carefully, and just about to put it away, she glanced at Shen Che as if she remembered something.
Shen Che looked at her with a gentle gaze: "I was going to ask you to burn it directly after reading it." But if you want to stay, be careful. β
She nodded quickly, hid the letter in her arms along with her dancing shoes, and took out the letter she had written to her mother and handed it to him.
He didn't have to say anything more, and he understood.
The hour was not early, the rain was a little lighter, and the pond was about to leave, but suddenly saw Mei Niang coming in in a panic. When she rarely lost her temper like this, the corners of her skirt were wet, and as soon as she came in, she immediately covered the door, and hurriedly said to Shen Che: "The prince is here." β
She didn't even breathe, and she continued: "I wore regular clothes, and I didn't use Donggong's car, so I came low-key, but I didn't hide my identity." β
She paused and looked at the chi, "I just said I was here to pick people up." β
Since Ning Xun has revealed his identity, naturally no one dares to stop him, and it won't be long before he comes here.
He sat up straight, wasn't he busy, and he still had time to pick her up here?
Shen Che didn't hear it, so he only added another cup of hot tea to the pool, "Take another sip to warm up." It's raining outside, and it's going to be cold. β
Zhichi stood up, where can he still take care of this tea, "Since he came to pick me up, then I will go down and follow him directly, and if you stay in the house, you won't bump into him." β
As she spoke, she had already walked to the door, the sound of the rain cut out the footsteps, because the moment she pushed the door open, she saw someone approaching with an umbrella not far away. When the curtain of rain came to him, it sank into it.
Fortunately, she is on the second floor, and if the person holding the umbrella below does not look up, he will not be able to see her.
He didn't think much about it, for fear that he would come up one step too late, so he covered the door from behind, and immediately took his skirt and trotted down the wooden ladder.
It was only when the last few steps came that the dampness of the rain curtain hit her face, and she slowed down and stood on the steps, quietly waiting for him to come towards her.
The dull and rotten atmosphere in the room dissipated, and the rain had been falling for a while, and it no longer pressed people to breathe, at least they could take a long breath.
Raindrops splash down on the surface of the umbrella and burst out in all directions. The hand holding the handle of the umbrella is slender and powerful, with distinct bones. Ning Xun stood still not far in front of her, and the eaves of the umbrella were slightly raised.
He looked at her through the rain.
Her eyes were slightly red, as if she had cried before.
Because of Shen Che?
Ning Xun raised her eyes and glanced faintly at the room she had just come out ofβthe door was closed, blocking everything inside.
He gave her a full hour, and it seemed that he had arrived early.
