Her sudden movement exceeded all Qi Chu's imagination, he was stunned for a while, his eyes kept looking at her.

His lips moved, trying to say something, but stopped.

Xu Nian let go of her hand quickly, and Lian Tang urged her outside the door, "Miss, the Eldest Young Lady is back and is looking for you now, you heard the reply."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

She wanted to move, but was held back by Qi Chu again.

"When is the next time you said?" He asked suddenly.

Xu Nian felt that his gaze was extremely serious, so she said, "The next time I meet you again."

Qi Chu was silent for a moment, but still did not let go, "Can't this time?"

If you want to hide the young lady, it is best not to be called away by anyone, and not to be disturbed by anyone.

It's good to just look at him all the time.

Xu Nian swallowed the sentence "But I want to go home first", "Then what else do you want to do now, I can wait before leaving."

Qi Chu didn't speak, but looked at her for a moment.

Xu Nian thought that he might have seen something, but he didn't say anything.

After being silent for a while, Qi Chu let go of his hand, but suddenly lay down, looking up at her: "Leave after I fall asleep."

He said, and put the knife beside him, he seemed to be really sleepy, and his voice lowered a lot, "I'm so sleepy now, miss, I don't have to wait long, I'll fall asleep right away."

As the words fell, he closed his eyes a little bit.

Just like what he said, after a while, Xu Nian heard the sound of long breathing.

She stood by the couch and watched for a while, rarely looking at him quietly like this.

Quiet, defenseless in front of people, this is the first time.

His eyes shifted to the dagger blade he had placed beside his pillow.

Defenseless is such an intriguing word...

But just for a moment, she withdrew her gaze, turned around and hugged a quilt in the closet, covered him up, confirmed that he was asleep, and quietly closed the door.

"Lian Tang, is the doctor I asked you to invite here..."

The voices outside the door gradually faded away. The person who should have been asleep opened his eyes and looked at the unmoved dagger. His eyes were deep and deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, he raised his arm, covered his eyes, and let it go for a while.

Wu Zheng spoke outside the door: "Your Highness?"

Qi Chu didn't move, "Is she gone?"

"Let's go," Wu Zheng said, "A doctor came, and now is...?"

Qi Chu was quiet for a while, then said: "I sent it back, no see."

Wu Zheng scratched his head, and there was one last question: "Then, Your Highness, when will our plan start?"

It cannot be delayed any longer.

"hold on……"

"Wait when?" It's been a long time.

Qi Chu seemed to be talking to himself. He was indeed a little tired. He moved his hands away, looked up at the sky, and said, "Wait for the next time..."

...

Xu Nian never thought that one day the queen would call him into the palace.

The person who delivered the decree had already left, but the atmosphere in the Duke's Mansion was extremely silent.

Xu Sijiang: "You haven't even met the empress a few times, so you are suddenly allowed to enter the palace. It is probably because of the young lady from the Shen residence last time."

Before attacking and hurting others, he still wants to bully others.

Xu Nian also saw it: "Earlier, I didn't say a word, and half a month has passed. Now I'm looking for me, not only to avoid the suspicion of revenge, but also to visit me, so that people can't find a trace of fault."

That night, Shen Jiao was the one who looked for him, but for no reason, where did she have any grudge with Shen Jiao in this life.

Xu Nian thought about it for a long time, only that one time, he spoke a few words with King Yu at the door.

But Xu Nian asked himself, there was no such thing as breaking the rules.

Besides, Shen Jiao had just come to Yandu, so how could she find an abandoned courtyard with a hidden location so accurately.

If she had had a grudge with her earlier, it would make sense to premeditate.

But it was only within a few quarters of an hour after she saw King Yu. With such a coincidence, and the people who appeared in the stands that day, it was hard not to make people suspect that someone was deliberately guiding her.

Xu Nian also couldn't figure out why Shen Jiaoshe killed her elder sister in her previous life.

If she really hates herself to the extreme, then killing herself is the most direct way, why go around in circles.

The concubine of the world can be killed, so why would she care about a down-and-out Princess Yu?

If someone guides...

Taking advantage of Shen Jiao's hatred for him, he used this to get rid of Ajie.

Without anyone noticing, even if something happened to Dong Chuang, the sleeves are still clean, and I have been plucked clean from it from the beginning to the end.

Xu Nian frowned, there was only one person, and in the memory of her previous life, she had no time to find any shortcomings.

For this reason, she believed in him deeply, and she would remember that kindness to the end of her life.

Even if he failed to help him save his elder sister as promised, he never doubted him at all.

Seeing her distracted, Xu Sijiang walked up to her, "Don't be afraid of Nian Nian, whether it's a Hongmen banquet or sincerely caring, Sister will go with you later, no matter what happens, there will be no need to worry about it." Sister is here."

Xu Nian looked sad, but it wasn't for this, she said to calm down a little: "Sister can't go with me."

Xu Sijiang was puzzled: "Why?"

"If elder sister also went with me, the empress has a delicate mind, she would definitely be able to guess what we are thinking now, we are speculating on her thoughts, and are afraid of guarding against her intentions. If elder sister goes with me, it will be as if I am confident challenge the prestige of the empress."

"If the rift is left directly, the future troubles will be the most endless."

Xu Nian looked at his sister in surprise, "So what does A Nian mean?"

"You won't swallow me alive", she is not Wuming, "Your Majesty is the mother of a country, so even if you don't like me, you can't do anything to me directly."

But since she was Shen Jiao's biological aunt, she was naturally partial to Shen Jiao, so her sudden behavior would not be out of kindness.

Xu Nian said: "It's good for sister to wait for me at home. If I haven't come back before sunset, you can find a reason to find me and go home."

Xu Si and Jiang Si complemented each other, "Isn't A Nian afraid?"

She can help her stop it.

Xu Nian hesitated for a while, then raised his eyes and said truthfully, "I'm still a little scared, but I can't hide it, so why don't I take the initiative to see what's going on."

...

When Xu Nian got off the carriage, he realized that the people beside the carriage looked familiar, "Wei Ze?"

"...Why are you here?" She didn't notice how she got in here.

Wei Ze lowered his eyebrows, just lowered his eyes, and didn't say a word.

Xu Nian was used to it in her previous life, so she simply didn't care. The rest of the people couldn't get in, so they could only wait for her at the gate of the palace.

A palace official came to lead the way, Lian Tang let out a sigh of relief, and whispered to her: "Miss, I'm afraid."

"It's okay." Xu Nian saw that the road was right, and said, "And your young lady is standing in front of me, so nothing will happen."

When they arrived at the place, the palace servant pushed the door and stepped aside: "Xu Second Young Lady, the old slave will not go in, the empress is inside."

Xu Nian nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Entering the palace, the queen was fiddling with the new objects she just got in front of the tea table.

Xu Nian saluted and stood in the hall, "Empress Empress."

Empress Shen had just put down the teacup, looked at Xu Nian for a few times, and kept making the tea in her hand, and said, "I didn't scare you last time, right? Jiao'er was spoiled by her family since she was a child, and it's her fault that she doesn't know people well. The people at the bottom deceived the master and made such unreasonable things, which made her bear this title."

Xu Nian lowered his eyes: "Then I think there is a misunderstanding, and I have to make it clear when I have time."

Shen's phoenix eyes lifted and glanced at her, "She has just come to Yandu, so there is something she doesn't understand, I feel at ease when you say that."

"You are the same age, so you can be good playmates."

Shen stopped her hands, and some palace servants went up to take the tea she had ordered, and handed it to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian took it and followed her words: "I think so too."

"Try it?" Shen sized her up.

Xu Nian finished his drink, and someone took the cup.

Shen Shi finally showed a little smile, but her eyes were shrewd, "Jiao'er was removed from the ground yesterday, and she came to me crying this morning, saying that someone was pestering his brother Wenyu, and asked me to make decisions for her."

She paused, and pointed to an unknown person: "Do you know who this person is?"

Xu Nian shook his head, "I'm stupid, I don't know."

I thought to myself, it really was the trouble caused by the inexplicable glance that day.

The marriage contract between King Yu and the Shen family was canceled by reason, and she is now eyesore.

Almost, he was regarded as a target and died for no apparent reason.

"It's not someone important, it's normal if you don't know it." Shen's smile became more gentle, "It's the maid who serves by King Yu's side, who has an unreasonable arrogance and wanting to take things that don't belong to her. I don’t know how good it is.”

Xu Nian was silent and listened quietly.

Shen admired her understanding of current affairs, and she had listened to Jiaoer's words to warn her.

She has been planning for decades, and she can't let anyone get there before the Shen family.

The next empress of Great Wei will also have the surname Shen.

"Although Your Majesty has taken the engagement, I know my son best. The friendship between him and Jiao'er since childhood, if others have that kind of heart, I'm afraid they can't be shaken. If you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, you can only ask for trouble. eat."

Xu Nian said, "Your Majesty is right, and I also think that King Yu and Miss Shen are a perfect match, they are a match made in heaven."

"It would be great if other people think you are a sensible person like this." Shen Shi pinched her forehead wearily, waved her hand, and said, "Go back, I'm tired too, so I won't keep you here for long."

It wasn't until the person left that Shen opened her eyes again, and asked the palace servant beside her, "Have you done what I asked you to do?"

Just talking about how it can be useful, always let her see, don't know what the consequences will be.

Xu Nian saw it on the road he had to pass. The servant girl had been beaten to pieces, lying on the road bloody and bloody. a whole picture.

There was still blood in the air.

"Miss..." Lian Tang was afraid and called her in a low voice.

Xu Nian only glanced at it, then walked to the side and walked out of the palace.

It wasn't until the busy city, the lively voices of people everywhere, that his overly white face eased a little.

The nausea was so severe that Xu Nian couldn't take it anymore, he stopped the car, ran to the side of the street in a hurry, clutched his chest and retched twice.

Such a frightening scene is still in my mind, lingering.

The shadow under the sun gradually covered another person's body, and a pair of black shoes appeared in sight.
