Chapter Ninety-Eight: Return to the Ruins
Shen Li's eyes flickered, and the killing intent in his eyes flashed. He glanced at the tear-stained face that had fallen to the ground, closed his eyes involuntarily, and took out a porcelain vase from the drawer.
"You're right, this king has been punished. My life has been very well disguised so far, and I am a little tired from living. But the days are still long, and I have to continue to disguise. But for now, let me take a break. You see, this king has given you a letter of resignation, and you feel uncomfortable like this, and you can cry or mock me in turn. What about the king? If the king is sad, what should he do? Don't overestimate the mercy of this king, this king even has a hand on the woman he loves, and at this time, there is nothing that cannot be done. ”
"Heh~" Feng Ziying smiled sadly. "I'm not overestimating the prince's compassion, but the prince has ever thought that instead of letting me go back with the letter of resignation and be humiliated by everyone, it is better to die, but it is also quiet!"
Shen Li slowly stood up, walked to Feng Ziying's side, helped her up, and stuffed the letter of resignation and poison into her hand.
"Did Zi Ying ever think that your father is no longer here, how many of the brothers above you can achieve great things? It's not that this king looks down on them, except for your second brother Feng Canglan, the rest are bastards! But your second brother is on an errand in the palace and has the heavy responsibility of protecting the emperor, so he has no time to take care of the Feng family. The Feng family has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and the world only thinks that Feng Ziying is stupid and can't dance knives and guns, but they don't know that they are actually the ones who are really stupid. This king believes that only in your hands will the Feng family not decline and decline. ”
Feng Ziying smiled even more desolate when she heard this, "The prince can afford me, Ziying is just a woman, how can she have such great ability." If Ziying was really that good, the prince wouldn't treat me like this. ”
Shen Li smiled slightly, and muttered: "This king is just talking about things, whether you believe it or not, it's up to you." I'm just afraid that one day I'll fall into the demon barrier, and when the pain in my heart can no longer be suppressed, I will carry a sword and kill people everywhere. So now while you're still awake, I'll give you one last chance to choose. ”
Feng Ziying looked up at him, her obviously emaciated face, and her sad eyes flashed at that time, even if Shen Li treated her like this, it still made her feel distressed. But what about distress? He doesn't care. The person he really cared about died at his hands.
Sure enough, when you are in the emperor's house, are you involuntarily self-conscious? The world only sees the dazzling wealth and glitz, but who can understand the lonely vicissitudes behind the glitz?
Feng Ziying wiped the tears from her face, thought about it, and finally handed the porcelain bottle to Shen Li. Seeing him subconsciously show a relieved smile, his heart was sour, and he couldn't help but wet his eyes.
Such a man...... How can she forget?
She fell in love with him, never by his appearance, by his status. She always firmly believes that the man who treats others humbly, but is a little withdrawn and indifferent in private, is actually the warmest in his bones. She has been longing to be able to enter his heart, in that case, what kind of happiness should it be? I'm afraid that even dreaming, I will wake up laughing, right?
She often fantasized like this, but on Mu Yan's face, she saw the happy smile she had been looking forward to. How could she not hate?
And now, the past is like smoke, and it is all going to be drifted away with the wind. Mu Yan is no longer there, and Shen Li's heart is afraid that it will never be open to anyone again. Her letter of resignation came at the right time. She once thought that instead of washing her face with tears on the back half of her body, it would be better to return to her free body, at least she still has a loving mother.
It's good to end up like this now. She didn't dare to make a decision, and Shen Li helped her make it. The cruel and sarcastic language hurt her body, but it also made her enlightened. Shen Li is right, the world only thinks she is stupid, but they don't know that she is just deliberately hiding. Maybe she should think about the bright side, and perhaps, she will get out of this cage to get real happiness.

After Feng Ziying left with the letter of resignation, Fang Biling happened to come over. This woman, who has seen through Shen Li's heart and her personality has changed greatly, is no longer as arrogant as before, and the gorgeous makeup on her face has also become plain and green.
She walked into the study and saw Shen Li standing in front of the window with her hands in her hands, remembering Feng Ziying's face who had just passed by her, and most of her heart had a number. Since Shen Li entered the mansion, her maid informed her early, saying that the third prince came back alone, and she didn't see Mu Yan. At that moment, she vaguely knew something in her heart.
"I don't know what happened when the prince sent someone to find me?"
Fang Biling blessed Shen Li, her tone was light, and she couldn't hear any emotion. Shen Li looked at the sky outside the window, did not look back, and said leisurely: "If this king asks you to go back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to accompany your parents, you don't have to come back, are you willing?"
Although there is no letter of resignation, this sentence is undoubtedly what it means. Fang Biling is not a fool, so she can naturally hear the meaning. But she was not as panicked as Feng Ziying, but as if she had expected it a long time ago, she only raised her lips and smiled slightly.
"My father and mother are still alive, and the Fang family is still the richest man in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and their influence should not be underestimated. It was not a wise decision for the prince to drive me away. ”
Shen Li looked back at her and laughed at himself, "Do you think this king still has reason now?"
Fang Biling looked at him fixedly, and after a moment, she lowered her head and sighed softly. "I know that the prince should have experienced something unpleasant when he went out this time. But now that it has happened, there is no way to undo it. These days are still long, and the prince, as the third prince of Daming, still has to live no matter how bitter and painful his heart is. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Biling walked to Shen Li's side and straightened his robe for him. She has always liked this kind of small action between husband and wife. But at this moment, it was the last time she did it.
"The prince doesn't have to worry about my side, Bi Ling has already seen through everything and knows that the prince's heart is not on me, but the power of the Fang family is still there, if I go back, my father will definitely be furious." So for the sake of the prince, and for me, this letter of resignation doesn't have to be given to me. In the days when the prince left, I have already thought about it, and I originally planned to wait for the prince to come back, so I told you, and now is just right. I was tired of the prince to set up an ancestral hall for me in the room in the side courtyard, and Bi Ling was accompanied by the green lantern Buddha platform from now on, and she no longer involved any red dust. ”
Shen Li's eyes flashed slightly, glanced at Fang Biling, and finally nodded silently.

Somewhere in the river north of Xuanwu Mountain, an animal resembling a big cat walked forward carrying a woman covered in blood. Every step he took, he would leave bloody paw prints, and he seemed to be injured. But it still walked firmly, and went north with great persistence.
It remembered that in the vast snow-capped mountains, there was a purple elegance that could bring people back to life. Pluck its petals and make a soup to keep the woman on its back alive. But this kind of flower is waiting to be bloomed all year round, only one flower, but never blooms.
It had some friendship with Bai Ze, who was guarding the snowy mountains. So, girl, hold this breath for me, and you want to live!
