Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 613
Jifeng was so angry that he almost jumped up and pointed at his nose and called her a bad woman, but the girl in front of him told him not to speak. He remembered it, so he endured it. It was very hard, his small chest rose and fell rapidly, and he breathed loudly. of.

Shen Le smiled gracefully, and raised his chin slightly like a proud white swan, "If sister is a lobbyist for this matter, there is no need. Sister, I am not ignorant...sister wants a beloved man, If I want wealth and honor, sister, I think I can still help a little bit due to my half-hearted blood connection, but if I help with harboring gangsters, wouldn’t I be harming His Highness the Crown Prince? Such a matter of indistinguishability...Sister, I But I won’t do it.”

"That's not the case!" Shen Luoxin sighed again, leaned over and whispered into her ear, almost as if he hated iron for not being able to become steel, "Did you really turn your back on the affairs outside the palace as soon as you entered the East Palace? What if that's true? How could those girls in Fengchenju still live a clean life for harboring gangsters? They had all been taken to the Yamen and tortured, including Chaoyun! But what do you think it looks like now? Fengchenju has been sealed, but there are people in the court. Come forward to investigate this matter? No one has decided who is harboring the gangsters. The girls should do whatever they want. Every day, sedans are taken to the houses of various masters and ladies. Should they dance or dance, sing or sing? My son, I didn’t lose a penny of money...but Chaoyun was taken away by the prince himself, so he had a good life and didn’t suffer even a penny..."

"Tell me, what is it?"

On this point, Shen Luoxin really didn't lie.

If you want people to believe this lie, it must be at least eighty-nine percent true and one or two percent false. If it is seventy-eight percent false, only a fool will believe it.Shen Lewei is not smart, but he is not that stupid either.

Shen Lewei is indeed not that stupid, so she understands the words Shen Luoxin never said.His fingertips clenched tightly, and he slowly turned his head to look. One of them was sitting, the other was standing, one was looking up, and the other was bowing his head. Their two faces were so close that they could even feel the warmth between each other's breath.

No one speaks.

The wind blowing in from outside the pavilion also carried some cool raindrops, which fell coldly on the side of the neck.In such weather, it would be extremely romantic for a man and a woman to walk hand in hand, holding an oil-paper umbrella or not.For such a romantic thing, she once begged the prince to go out together, but even in the back garden of the East Palace, she was still rejected with a cold face.

The world only knew that she lived in the East Palace and could fly up the branches with a single movement. But they didn't know that the branches were covered with thick snow. After many years, the snow turned into ice, which was hard, cold, slippery, and slightly uncomfortable. Being cautious means flying high and falling heavy.

Behind the prosperity, she is walking on thin ice and uneasy. Probably only she herself understands that those seemingly enviable favors are like dreams that are easy to wake up, and are as fragile as the shadow of the moon in the water.

Shen Lewei always knew that he would not be the only one. The prince's kindness to him now was probably just a temporary interest. After this interest passed, another younger and more beautiful girl would naturally pique his interest.This is normal... A prince or an emperor will never belong to a woman, she just... She just hopes that the girl will appear later, and later. By then, even if the interest is no longer, with these days and nights together, she will To have a place next to the prince.

She won't become a concubine who loses her spirit, her heart, and her face. She will be despised by everyone and eventually become a street rat.

It might as well be dead.

She vaguely knew that it was a big gamble for her to become known to everyone, but it was nothing to gain wealth at risk... However, she never thought that "she" would appear so soon.Chaoyun...?She had seen Chaoyun. She was no longer young, nor was she charming, but she was very experienced in people and worldly affairs. She was a woman who was like a spring breeze when getting along with her... But, would His Highness like this?
The silence at this time was even more painful... She even felt the wind outside the pavilion blowing her whole body with a chill.Her fingertips pinched the palm of her hand until it hurt. She desperately tried to pull out a smile that didn't look so bad, and even looked relaxed because of her firm trust. However, she didn't realize that the smile was uglier than crying. She said, "Feng Chenju's affairs must be done in full view of the public. How can we women talk about the affairs of the imperial court behind our back? His Highness has his own reasons and arrangements for what he does."

Having said that, Shen Lewei suddenly remembered the prince's unusual behavior in the past two days - the prince said that he was busy on weekdays, and now he was temporarily in charge of the government. He had to learn everything and review memorials at night, so he couldn't care about her, but... If he were in the house, he would definitely have dinner with her.But not in the past two days.

I asked my servant to ask, and he said he was... busy.

You need to eat when you are busy, right?
I also heard that the Crown Prince rested in the study yesterday... She really didn't think much about it at that time, but she felt a little sad. Until now, she vaguely noticed that something was wrong - she was eating and drinking in the study, and working in the study. , and rested in the study all night long. In the past two days, His Highness seemed to have been in the study besides going to court.

It had never been like this before... The corners of Shen Le's slightly twitched mouth could no longer hang, and drooped straight down.

"Yeah. That's true..." Shen Luoxin nodded in agreement, "What the second sister said does make some sense. Besides, I see that Aunt Chaoyun has a charm that we can't learn from. In addition to recruiting people, in terms of status and age... I think His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't have that thought..."

After the words fell, Shen Le stood up suddenly, "What kind of charm! It's obviously the aura of a prostitute! According to my sister, do we girls from aristocratic families still need to be compared with a profligate woman?"

Her face was extremely ugly. Her face had lost all color and looked cold, as if it had been stained by the drizzle of late autumn. After she finished speaking, she did not wait for anyone else's reaction, and only left a sentence: "I feel a little unwell, so I'm going back first." ." Then he walked away with a flick of his sleeves, and in such a hurry, the little maid who had been waiting under the corridor holding an umbrella couldn't keep up with him as he trotted all the way.

Shen Luoxin watched Shen Lewei leave in a hurry until she could no longer see her back in the pavilion, then she turned around neatly and grinned at Ji Wuyan, revealing eight neat white teeth, which were shining brightly. , "How is this girl doing today?"

Like an invitation.

On the other hand, there was an annoying child, patting his chest like a little adult and mumbling in an infantile voice, "Sister Shen, you can't drink fake wine anymore! I was scared to death just now! I thought you were going to follow that Sister, it’s okay, don’t be lonely anymore! Fortunately, I drank less, I drank less... I woke up from the wine..."
