After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 105 Chapter 105

It was the first time Sheng Tingye heard someone say such things to him when he grew up so big.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile: "You raise me?"

It was like hearing some big joke.

Shen Qingci thought he didn't believe it.

She patiently said: "Although it's not as good as you were in the Lin family, it's not a problem to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Not to mention anything else, as far as the bank notes shops and land deeds her father left for her, it would not be a problem to raise ten or eight of them like him.

But Shen Qingci also knew that what he cared about was not his future survival.

He was such a proud and conceited person, once he fell from the clouds into the mud, how could he accept it.

Shen Qingci's heart was a little blocked, she blinked her sore eyes, and said with difficulty: "I'm sorry..."

Sheng Tingye didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere became quiet, and in the darkness, there was only the sound of Shen Qingci digging the soil with a dagger.

Although the ground was not bluestone slabs, the soil was cold and hard, and Shen Qingci, who only had a short dagger, had a hard time digging.

I don't know how long she persisted, she felt that she could hardly lift her hands, and finally dug a not-so-small pit.

She dug all the soil in the pit to the side, and piled up a small hill half the height of a person.

Sheng Tingye's position under the stone pillar had been hollowed out by her, but Shen Qingci didn't dare to touch his leg, she was afraid it would be the worst result.

"How are you?"

Shen Qingci dropped the dagger, patted the dirt on his hands, went to help his shoulders, and wanted to lead him to sit up.

No matter what, at least get your legs out of the pit first.

Sheng Tingye cooperated this time, put his hand on her arm, and got up with her strength.

"How about it?"

There was undisguised nervousness and anxiety in Shen Qingci's tone.

Sheng Tingye, who originally wanted to tease her, only said lightly this time: "No."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingci was overjoyed.

"Really?"

"It's fine if it's not broken! It's fine if it's not broken!"

God is sorry, if a leg is really broken because of her...

Shen Qingci may not be able to pass this hurdle in his whole life.

After he sat firmly, Shen Qingci patted his chest subconsciously: "Amitabha."

In just this short period of time, she experienced a lot of ups and downs, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and couldn't hold up any more strength, so she simply lay down on her back, panting heavily.

"Are you so afraid that I'll be crippled?"

Sheng Tingye said suddenly: "For you, if I'm depressed because of this, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

No one is chasing her anymore.

Hearing this, Shen Qingci waved her hand, remembering that he couldn't see, she said again: "Of course not."

"I've always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances."

"Since you did this to save me, if I still have such thoughts, am I still human?"

Sheng Tingye sneered and said nothing.

Shen Qingci didn't have the strength to get up right now, so he lay there waiting for his strength to recover.

When neither of them spoke, they felt too quiet.

She sighed: "Do you know who is trying to harm Lin Yunzheng?"

I don't know if Lin Yunzheng and Qin Jiaojiao got away.

I don't know how deep the secret passage they fell through was blocked. Even if Lin Yunzheng and Qin Jiaojiao brought reinforcements, they might not be able to dig through it so quickly.

If you don't continue to explore the way out, you just wait here for reinforcements, and you don't know how long you will have to wait.

Shen Qingci analyzed: "Although he is usually a bigot, he probably hasn't provoked such a powerful enemy."

"The other party obviously wants to use Lin Yunhai's hand to get rid of him."

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye asked instead: "Then who do you think is most beneficial to kill him?"

This question stopped Shen Qingci.

The crown prince has not yet been established, and there is an undercurrent in the court. Unlike the other families, the Lin family has no women in the palace, and they have not clearly stood in line.

Ordinarily, it should be the object that several parties are vying to win over. No one would be stupid enough to provoke such a big enemy for themselves.

Shen Qingci didn't know much about government affairs, "So what do you think? Is the other party targeting the Lin family, or only targeting Lin Yunzheng?"

Sheng Tingye fell silent.

Just when Shen Qingci thought he would not answer, he suddenly said: "You know, the Third Prince also came to Xiangguo Temple today."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci's heart skipped a beat.

Of course she knew.

In order not to dazzle in front of others, she avoided it on purpose.

Shen Qingci didn't know why he suddenly mentioned the third prince, and asked in puzzlement, "Does it have anything to do with it?"

"Could it be him?"

Sheng Tingye almost got angry with a mouthful of old blood.

Although Shen Qingci couldn't see his expression, she felt that he was suffocating, and the aura around her was obviously much colder, she quickly smoothed things over and said: "I'm just joking, I know you have a good relationship with that third highness, don't be angry Well!"

Sheng Tingye snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Shen Qingci raised his hand and pushed his arm, this time he was a little more serious: "Is someone trying to provoke the relationship between him and the Lin family and Princess Jian'an's mansion?"

Sheng Tingye was silent for a moment, and then said: "Yes, not all of them."

Since Lin Yunzheng caused trouble last time, he righteously exterminated his relatives and imprisoned him, which has already offended his aunt and the Lin family.

This time, no matter whether it was related to him or not, if something happened to Lin Yunzheng under his nose, his aunt would blame him and would not give up easily.

This matter was not so much aimed at Lin Yunzheng, but more like it was aimed at Sheng Tingye.

Sheng Tingye was thinking about the person behind the scenes, but he heard Shen Qingci say leisurely: "The most ruthless emperor's family, the book is honest and does not deceive me."

"However, come to think of it, that Third Highness is not a vegetarian, but he just pities us little fellows."

When Sheng Tingye heard her talk about himself, he became a little interested: "Have you met that third highness?"

Shen Qingci shrugged: "No."

Sheng Tingye smiled: "Then how do you know he's not a vegetarian?"

Hearing this, although Shen Qingci didn't want to admit it, he still said truthfully, "Where can someone who can work with someone like you and even dominate you?"

"Although the rumors may not be true, the great military achievements are no joke."

Having said that, Shen Qingci sighed inwardly, fortunately that one didn't take a fancy to her at all, and thought of retiring the engagement.

Otherwise, being tied to such a person and always having to guard against open and dark arrows from all directions would make life too tiring.

She should thank the other party for not marrying.

After resting for a while, Shen Qingci has recovered some strength.

She stood up and asked with concern, "Can you move?"

Sheng Tingye responded.

Immediately, Shen Qingci heard the sound of cloth rubbing against each other, and she heard him stand up.

But the next moment was a stagger.

Fortunately, Shen Qingci's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he grabbed him by feeling, just grabbed his arm, and then stabilized his figure.

"Are you OK?"

Shen Qingci made no secret of his concern and nervousness: "Is it the leg..."

"No."

As soon as Sheng Tingye opened his mouth, he interrupted her guess.

He said coldly, "It's just that the internal injury has worsened."

Although his tone and attitude were still cold and unreasonable, Shen Qingci still expressed some relief.

If he is really cold as ice, he can completely ignore her apology and self-blame.

Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but the sentence he explained made him a little more human.

Shen Qingci supported his arm with one hand, and groped the stone wall to find the way with the other: "Then let's go."

Rather than being wasted here, it is better to go forward and find a way out.

Sheng Tingye responded, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not withdraw the arm supported by her.

The secret road was dark, cold and damp, neither of them spoke, they walked silently side by side.

There are only the sound of their footsteps, and their deep and shallow breathing.

There is no tit-for-tat, no calculations and counter-calculations.

This was the first time the two had gotten along so peacefully since they met each other.

Just like that, supporting each other, after walking for an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingci's hand touched the stone wall, and the two of them stopped.

"Is there no way ahead?"

Shen Qingci helped him to sit up, turned around and touched the stone wall blocking the two of them.

She couldn't believe that such a complete secret passage was only half-finished.

"There must be an agency here."

"only……"

Having said this, Shen Qingci paused.

"Generally, such institutions also have self-destruct devices, or hidden weapons."

"Opening this stone wall may be a vitality, or it may be a killer move."

She had also learned mechanics for a few days from the master who built her a small treasury, and she had some superficial knowledge.

Sheng Tingye's voice didn't fluctuate at all: "Are you afraid?"

Shen Qingci shook his head.

"It's been a while, and it's too late to say I'm afraid."

As she spoke, she thought for a while, "Death is death."

She wasn't dead anyway.

However, before she could say the second half of the sentence, she remembered what she said after being caught by him in Dali Temple before - it's not that my aunt never died.

At that time, it was too embarrassing to think about it now because of the quick talk.

"What about you, do you have any regrets?" Shen Qingci half-jokingly said: "In case all arrows are fired from behind, if you have any regrets, or things you regret, you might as well talk about it now."

Sheng Tingye smiled coldly: "I regret jumping down to save you, does that count?"

Shen Qingci: "..."

"Thank you, but you don't have to say it."

As she spoke, she began to knock around.

Because she was already mentally prepared, Shen Qingci was not too surprised when her hand inadvertently pressed a bulge, only to hear a click, and the whole stone wall suddenly began to recede to both sides.

She only quickly retreated to Sheng Tingye's side, fully on guard, waiting for the stone wall to open.

Only then did a gap open, and the dazzling light shot in.

Both of them who had been in the dark for too long were blinded for a moment.

When he regained his composure, he opened his eyes, and what he saw was a small bamboo house built against a stone wall.

The exit of this secret room is on the stone wall.

A bamboo couch, a low table, the furnishings in the room couldn't be simpler.

Shen Qingci helped Sheng Tingye walk out of the stone wall.

The two stood firm, and the secret passage behind them closed automatically with a rumbling sound.

And on the stone wall where they just walked out, there was a splash-ink landscape painting, which happened to cover the entrance of the secret passage tightly.

Shen Qingci raised his hand to pick up the scroll, but there was no trace of secret passage underneath.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this whole secret path as ingenious.

Compared to being amazed at the secret way, when Shen Qingci saw the bamboo house, his heart was already turbulent.

Here she should be more familiar than anyone.

It was her father who made it for A Niang back then.

A Niang likes the tranquility of the mountain behind Xiangguo Temple, and the doctor said that it is also suitable for A Niang to recuperate from her illness.

That year, the place where Dad ran the most was Xiangguo Temple, for this bamboo house.

It's a pity that the bamboo house hadn't been built yet, so A Niang left.

Shen Qingci knew that this was always a regret in Father's heart.

However, she never knew that there was such a secret passage behind the bamboo house.

Does her father know?

If it is said that her father didn't know, the location of the bamboo house and the secret passage would be too coincidental.

If Dad knew...

What does he want this secret way for?
Ever since she found out that her father had given her Zhou Shun's retreat a long time ago, she had been thinking about what important things her father was hiding from her.

Now, with the addition of this secret way, Shen Qingci became even more unpredictable.

Xu was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice that her hand holding Sheng Tingye's arm was a little harder.

"Are you trying to strangle me to silence me?"

It wasn't until hearing his voice that Shen Qingci came back to his senses.

She quickly helped him to sit down on the bamboo couch, and waved her hand: "I was just thinking about what this bamboo house has to do with this secret passage. I didn't pay attention for a while, sorry."

After speaking, she turned to look at him.

Only then did he realize that his face was terribly pale.

The robe on his chest was already soaked in blood, and there were still blood beads dripping down his hem.

In the secret passage before, his voice was the same as usual, and his leg was not broken, so Shen Qingci felt relieved.

Now it seems that his injuries are more serious than she imagined!
This man is very patient.

Shen Qingci's heart sank.

Now that it's out, of course we can't delay any longer.

She walked quickly to the window, peeked out, and said, "Where are your people? I'll call someone to rescue you."

Sheng Tingye leaned on the wall with one hand, and barely stabilized his figure: "No need."

Even though he was so weak, and there was nothing good about him, it still didn't make people feel the slightest embarrassment.

On the contrary, the aura seemed to be getting stronger.

Shen Qingci was thinking about how to save him without notifying his subordinates, but he suddenly raised his hand towards the window.

Just like that, a sleeve arrow flew out under her nose.

His men will be back soon.

Of course Shen Qingci would not just wait here foolishly.

She didn't forget that this man had planned to catch her before.

Moreover, she didn't want to reveal her identity at this time.

However, before leaving, Shen Qingci still asked: "Lord Lin."

Facing Sheng Tingye's secretive eyes, Shen Qingci said with a smile: "For the sake of our life and death just now, can you return the silver chain to me?"

Shen Qingci spread out his hands towards him.

In the next moment, he raised his chin slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his handsome face.

That smile is as beautiful as a peach blossom.

But, after that, I saw him with that smile, and his lips slightly parted: "I can't."

Just like that, cold, ruthless, and determined to reject her.

Shen Qingci: "..."
