Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Someone tugged the collar behind Shen Qian again, and his movements were very cautious. Someone also reminded him quietly in a lowered voice, "Shen Dingtou... don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, that's not a good place."

Shen Qian naturally knew that Dali Temple at the moment was not a good place - it had never been a good place.

However, Xu Siniang was inside.

He must go.

Ignoring the image of "loving concubines and destroying wives" that he had created, and the emperor who was already suspicious, he slowly raised his head, met the other person's gaze, then slowly lowered his head and spoke, word by word, stubbornly and firmly, "Wei minister." , voluntarily enter the Dali Temple, and please Your Majesty to grant it."

"Hey..." The colleague was almost heartbroken and lamented again and again, "Stubborn, stubborn, confused, so confused!" The voice was lowered, and it became more and more like a sound squeezed out from between the teeth, as if he was beating his chest and stamping his feet with all his strength.

The emperor sat upright leaning on the armrest, looking at Shen Qian with a heavy gaze, which seemed to contain many inexplicable things, like suspicion, annoyance, and disappointment. After a long while, his voice fell to the ground, "Yes. "

A hammer is fixed.

After saying that, the emperor leaned back and waved his hand, "Let's go."

It’s not about “retreating from the imperial court”, it’s about being more casual and powerless. Let’s leave...

Everyone saluted and bowed to leave.

Ning Xiuyuan lags behind the crowd slowly and leisurely. He is completely different from the way everyone walks in groups while chatting in groups. He feels quite lonely as a solitary figure.

This was the first time that the emperor watched his courtiers go down to court. He was sitting on a high dragon chair, looking down at his subjects leaving. He looked at Ning Xiuyuan, who was walking calmly outside with one hand behind his back, and was nervous. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. Kankan's raised hand slowly came down again.

He changed his mind and did not call Ning Xiuyuan.This is the Ning Xiuyuan he is familiar with. He is young, handsome, and well-educated. Therefore, he is very proud in his heart, but also has a noble character who does not want to follow the crowd, and disdains to associate with ordinary people.

This is what he wants for Ning Xiuyuan.

Instead of Ning Xiuyuan, who had just spoken out for one person and rescued the other one in the court room—sitting in his position, sitting high enough, all the small movements below were clearly visible.

The emperor originally thought of leaving Ning Xiuyuan behind and trying some words, but at this moment he was really tired, exhausted both physically and mentally. He felt that even if Ning Xiuyuan was sitting across from him, he couldn't tell what was true or false. .

A young eunuch trotted over with his head lowered and his hands in his arms, asking, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?" The emperor glanced at him lazily, waved his hand, and asked people to leave.He is waiting for Zhang Dexian to come back - who knows who this little eunuch belongs to, Li Yuqi?Li Yiwei’s?Or, which ambitious minister?Who knows if this little eunuch would push him to the bottom of the lake while he was exhausted physically and mentally?Although he, as an emperor, is surrounded by guards wherever he goes, what if it is too late when the guards rescue him?

The life of a little eunuch is exchanged for the life of an emperor. It is worth it to everyone except the person involved.

The autumn wind carries a coolness, rolling up the crepe yarn in the hall and blowing it gently. The whole hall is empty, and it seems that even the wind has an echo, whimpering, and like the soul wailing and crying out for grievances.The emperor sat on this chair that carried so much life and blood for a long time. He suddenly felt that... he seemed to have no choice but to trust Zhang Dexian. …

Ning Xiuyuan walked slowly down the long white marble steps with his hands behind his back. Due to the heavy rain before, the entire square appeared an almost blinding bright white.

He squinted his eyes slightly and saw Shen Qian stopped a few steps in front of him. He turned around and looked at her with a calm and detached look in his eyes.

Ning Xiuyuan nodded lightly as a greeting, but the other party stood there, waiting for him to take two steps forward before asking, "Master Ning, do you have time to have a cup of morning tea together?"

Naturally, there was time, and Ben had planned to do so. If not, Ning Xiuyuan would not have hung back slowly. After all, the little girl should have received the information Xi Yu sent over. If he hadn't Go and keep an eye on her earlier, just in case this little girl starts to act up again.He looked up at the sky and whispered to Xi'an, "Go to Ji's house. If the girl wants to get angry again, stop her."

Xi An nodded and said hello, then bowed his hands to Shen Qian before leaving quickly.

Shen Qian looked at the interaction between the master and the servant. The young man Qing Jun always had a certain aloofness that made him unapproachable to both strangers and acquaintances. When he was explaining this, his tone was helpless, but his eyes were gentle. The smile was as if the "girl" in his mouth was poking a hole in the sky. In his eyes, she was just a lively and lively person.

When Shen Qian saw that the other party was looking at him, he made a gesture of invitation and led the way, smiling as he walked, "Before, I couldn't understand why the third master would help me... Now I understand a little bit. Everyone says that my family If the girl follows her mother, she is afraid that her life will be wasted. I think this blessing is better than following my father."

Ning Xiuyuan frowned and smiled, looking down at the steps at his feet. He acquiesced and said, "It's not exactly a word of help. Miss Shen is a smart person. Yesterday, I heard that Xu Siniang went to Dali Temple and did not return until night. It was indeed a request for help." Xi Yuqiu came to my place."

Shen Qian was slightly stunned, but he was surprised that this matter was true. He thought it was just Ning Xiuyuan's excuse.He shook his head helplessly, "The little girl has put the Third Master in trouble."

"It's not really an embarrassment. She just said that if it's not too much trouble, she would ask me to inquire about the situation. But last night I had something to do and I went to the palace, so the news from Dali Temple was delayed a bit. It was already late at night when I got the news. I didn't think I could Because of this, Miss Shen would not be able to sleep well, so I asked Xi Yu to go there early in the morning."

"It's really troublesome for Third Master."

"Master Shen, you don't need to call me Third Master, just call me Xiuyuan." Ning Xiuyuan greeted politely. We are still in the palace, and there are some officials not far away with their ears pricked up. It's really hard to say anything else. He quickened his pace and headed outside the palace.

Shen Qian shook his head and refused, "I should call you Lord Ning, but even calling you 'Third Master' is because of my family, Luo Xin, and we are close to each other. We are officials in the same dynasty and are colleagues, so we should have In this way...if the etiquette is lost because of the girl's personal relationship, I'm afraid that if things go on like this, the friendship between them will change. They are them, and we are us."

A good one, "They are them, we are us."

Ning Xiuyuan paused slightly and looked at the man who had been leading the way from the beginning to the end - the imperial censor, Shen Qian.

A man who seemed to have many sides.
