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

Chapter 168 168 Chess Pieces
"Son!"

Like Lu Kui, Zhao Miaosheng called Mr. Sheng Tingye.

She bowed her head with a submissive face, her eyes were red, and there was a trace of choking in her voice.

Sheng Tingye responded lightly, and she immediately bowed and stepped aside to make room.

Only then did Shen Qingci see clearly the face of the man lying on the bed.

Although her face was pale, she looked quite handsome, the key was that she seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Shen Qingci frowned, and was thinking about it, but Sheng Tingye said coldly: "Lin Yue."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci was stunned.

No wonder it looks familiar, when Qiu Wei left the city before, she saw him from afar in the Lin family's team.

At that time, he was standing next to Sheng Tingye. She only heard from the people next to him that it was the eldest son of the Lin family who brought all the young gentlemen of the Lin family. In addition, she had preconceived that Sheng Tingye was Lin Yue, so the misunderstanding became even bigger.

Back to reality, seeing Lin Yue who was supposed to be on the way to Jiangbei to investigate the case, but lying here so weak, Shen Qingci was puzzled: "What's wrong with him?"

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Miaosheng's eyes turned redder.

Sheng Tingye glanced at Shen Qingci, cherishing the words like gold: "Assassinated."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci subconsciously looked at Zhao Miaosheng.

She remembered that she eavesdropped at Sheng Tingjing's place. When the real Lin Yue was assassinated in Xuesongpo, the assassin was Zhao Miaosheng.

Looking at Zhao Miaosheng's grief and worry now, it is obvious that he is worried about Lin Yue, how could he assassinate him in the first place?
Shen Qingci couldn't understand the relationship more and more.

However, there is one thing she can confirm.

Sheng Tingye didn't seem to have any special feelings for Zhao Miaosheng.

She had misidentified his identity before, thinking that he had a "deep love" for Zhao Miaosheng, but now it seems that he is neither Lin Yue, nor is he treating Zhao Miaosheng as Shen Qingci imagined when the two met each other.

And that night, when he came out of the pool, before he fell into a coma, he was still thinking about whether Zhao Miaosheng was rescued. Based on Shen Qingci's understanding of his cold and indifferent temperament, if it wasn't because of the personal relationship between his son and daughter, it could only show that Zhao Miaosheng had a crush on Zhao Miaosheng. It plays an important role for him.

Now it seems that Yuemo is here to restrain Lin Yue.

As for the specifics, Shen Qingci is not very clear about the situation in the DPRK and China, so it is not easy to make a judgment.

While Shen Qingci was distracted, Lu Kui came in.

What is different from the past is that Lu Kui has an extra hideous mask on his face.

It's just that Shen Qingci was too familiar with him, and he recognized him at a glance just by his walking demeanor and long-lasting gown.

Obviously, he didn't wear a mask to hide his identity from Shen Qingci and others, but to avoid being seen by Lin Yue who was lying on the bed.

"Yo! Miss Zhou."

Seeing Shen Qingci, Lu Kui smiled: "Liusu has recovered well these few days, and in half a month, the Gu poison on his body can be completely expelled."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci was overjoyed: "Is this really true?"

Lu Kui nodded, and then looked at Sheng Tingye: "Young master, Mr. Lin was seriously injured. Those swords were all coated with poison. They wanted to put him to death. I'm afraid he will suffer this time."

Lu Kui's voice was rarely dignified.

Sheng Tingye closed his eyes, and in his usual cold tone, he couldn't hear any emotional ups and downs.

He said: "Don't worry, wait until he gets over."

Lu Kui nodded, and went to the bedside to give Lin Yue the needle.

Seeing him raising his hand to lift Lin Yue's quilt, Zhao Miaosheng who was at the side was skillfully laying his hands down.

Shen Qingci saw the blood-stained underwear on Lin Yue's body at a glance.

Although she has nothing to do with the real Lin Yue, this person has always had a good reputation in Dali Temple.

Petitioning for the people and redressing grievances for the people is a clear stream among the aristocratic family.

Moreover, this time, he was murdered by the traitor because he was going to investigate the corruption case, so Shen Qingci's worry about Lin Yue at this moment was also from the bottom of his heart.

However, Shen Qingci only took one look, and the next moment, someone grabbed his wrist and took him out of the room.

Sheng Tingye walked in front, Shen Qingci followed behind, he couldn't see his expression, but he held her wrist with great strength.

She faintly felt that this person seemed...in a bad mood?
After leaving the east room, Sheng Tingye let go of Shen Qingci's wrist, and walked into the courtyard by himself.

Shen Qingci first went to Westinghouse to take a look at Tassel.

It should be Lu Kui who gave the injection, the child was still in a coma, Shen Qingci only glanced at it, then stepped back lightly.

Sheng Tingye stood in the courtyard, with his back facing Shen Qingci and his hands behind his back. He didn't know what he was thinking, and remained motionless.

The cold moonlight fell on him, making him look like a cold exile even more.

If you are separated from the clouds, you are unattainable, but you walk alone, lonely and lonely.

There is a thick layer of snow in the yard.

Walking on it, it creaked.

Shen Qingci had just walked down the eaves, and he had already come to his senses.

But he didn't turn back immediately, until Shen Qingci stopped behind him, and he said calmly: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Shen Qingci held back his words and wanted to ask.

But as soon as she heard him take the initiative to mention it, she couldn't help asking: "I asked, will the prince say it?"

What responded to her was his usual silence.

Shen Qingci helplessly spread his hands.

"It's not worth it."

Anyway, she asked, and he wouldn't say it.

Under the moonlight, the wind was bitingly cold.

Before she came out, she felt that it was awkward for the two of them to be in the same room, and she just wanted to get rid of that predicament at that time, but now being blown by the cold wind...

Even though he was wrapped in a cloak, Shen Qingci's teeth were trembling from the cold, and he just wanted to go back quickly.

Just when she was about to remind her, the jade sculpture in front of her was standing in the cold wind, as if she couldn't feel the cold at all, but she heard him suddenly say: "Lin Yue's catastrophe was designed by this king."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci was startled suddenly.

Before she realized what she meant, Sheng Tingye, who was standing with his back to her, suddenly turned his head and lowered his eyes to look at her: "The assassination of Zhao Miaosheng in Xuesongpo was also arranged by this king."

Shen Qingci was surprised.

why?
This time, she didn't let her ponder for long, and Sheng Tingye didn't know what was wrong, he suddenly took a step forward and approached her a little.

He was half a head taller than her.

At such a close distance, when he looked at her, he had to bow his head slightly.

Under the moonlight, facing Shen Qingci's surprised eyes, Sheng Tingye said in a cold tone: "This king just wants to try Zhao Miaosheng's weight in his heart."

"Let's see how far he can take risks for Zhao Miaosheng."

Having said this, Sheng Tingye's eyes paused slightly.

It was also because of that temptation that Lin Yue was on the line of life and death, but he still wanted to protect Zhao Miaosheng and hide Zhao Miaosheng, so that he could see clearly the importance of Zhao Miaosheng to Lin Yue.

Using this as a threat, Lin Yue still went, knowing that it would be almost impossible to come back with a complete investigation of Jiangbei's ink corruption case.

As long as Lin Yue goes, no matter life or death, it is a win for him.

Because, he expected early on that even if he tried his best to find out the truth, his father would favor the Zhang family in order to check and balance, and also because of selfishness, and the final result could only be handled lightly.

Therefore, he must drag the Lin family into the water.

Sheng Tingjing and the Zhang family's daring to kill the future eldest son of the Lin family will inevitably intensify the conflict between the Zhang and Lin families.

Coupled with the next two steps he has already laid out...

He admits his meanness.

Zhao Miaosheng, Lin Yue, Lu Kui...all of them can be his pawns.

For half of his life, he has come through conspiracy and calculation.

If you are not careful, you will be crushed until there are no bones left.

His father doesn't love his mother or his mother, and he has no backer but suffers unreasonable fear. He can only lick the blood on the knife edge, stepping on the bones step by step in the dark conspiracy and calculation.

He also thought there was nothing wrong with this.

But just now in front of Lin Yue's bed, the moment he saw her looking at Lin Yue, he felt a little irritated for no reason, and also had a sense of despicableness that even he thought was ridiculous.

If she knew her true face and knew that all of this was designed by him, those clear and bright eyes that seemed to be able to wash away all the dirt in the world would look at him with disgust and contempt.

Sheng Tingye thought.

fair enough.

After all, he and she are not the same person.

Let her recognize the reality earlier, it is tantamount to let him wake up earlier.

After finishing what he just said, Sheng Tingye's eyes sank slightly, and his tone was calm as if there was no wave at all: "Do you also think that this king is very despicable?"

Pinching people's weaknesses, calculating people's hearts, not caring about the lives of others, and taking every step of the way.

This was the first time in Shen Qingci's memory that he had talked so much with her so calmly.

The two were very close, and she could feel the innate sense of oppression on his body, as well as the faint fragrance of his body.

Shen Qingci's heart skipped a beat.

Facing her eyes that were as black as ink and seemed to be calm, she said seriously: "It sounds really despicable."

As soon as the words fell, Sheng Tingye's eyes darkened.

His thin lips, which were originally tightly pressed, were about to rise slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Shen Qingci changed the subject: "However, if you haven't suffered from others, don't persuade others to be kind."

"My lord is in the middle of the game, so I and others can judge."

For a moment, when Shen Qingci heard Sheng Tingye's words, when he thought of Zhao Miaosheng's red and swollen eyes and Lin Yue lying on the bed, he felt that he was very despicable and cruel.

But then she thought of the queen who was wary of and plotted against Sheng Tingye in Fengyi Palace.

Even if the mother and son are like this, he is in the turbulent vortex of seizing the heirloom, and how can he save his life by being kind and orderly.

She was neither Lin Yue, Zhao Miaosheng and others who were being calculated, nor was she a companion with Sheng Tingye.

In the struggle for imperial power, a sunny, upright, kind, and harmless prince could not possibly survive.

She is not qualified to say that he is wrong, and she has no position to judge right or wrong.

At that moment, Sheng Tingye's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

Shen Qingci's answer and position were somewhat beyond his expectations.

The heart that he had just decided to seal up on the front foot suddenly had several cracks.

At that moment, the piercing pain spread from the apex of the heart in an instant, and it spread to all the limbs in a blink of an eye.

But this time before he could suppress the poison, his eyes suddenly went dark.

Sheng Tingye fell straight down.

Shen Qingci stood in front of him.

Seeing his tall body suddenly fall towards her, Shen Qingci was surprised, but his reaction was extremely quick.

She grabbed his shoulders and hurriedly stabilized his figure.

However, she had a wound on her right shoulder, and the place where Sheng Tingye dropped it happened to be on her right shoulder.

Under the severe pain, Shen Qingci's body became unstable, and he fell on the snow with the two of them.

However, unlike the previous two times, Sheng Tingye had already passed out this time, and Shen Qingci made a human cushion underneath.

The moment he fell, Shen Qingci almost rolled his eyes and was knocked unconscious.

But fortunately, she still has a trace of clarity.

Only after breathing a little, before he even had time to check his own condition, Shen Qingci exclaimed: "Qingyun! Qingyu!"

The two of them got a board, and now they were scolding each other under the corner of the wall not far away.

And the guards outside the yard were all set farther away.

Just now they fell on the snow and made little noise, and at this moment the attention of the guards outside was attracted by Qingyun and Qingyu's bickering.

After waiting for Shen Qingci to call for someone, everyone was stunned.

Qingyun Qingyu also didn't care about the injury on her buttocks, limped and flew onto the courtyard wall, and then jumped into the courtyard.

As a result, when he looked up, his master passed out and held Shen Qingci upright under his body.

How could the two of them care about the previous quarrel, Qiqi's expression changed.

One of them walked into the house and went to Lu Kui.

The other person quickly came to Shen Qingci's side, and quickly helped Sheng Tingye up.

There are two east and west rooms in this yard, and one side room.

In the east and west sides of the room, there were seriously injured patients who could not move.

Lu Kui made a quick decision, regardless of Sheng Tingye's identity, and asked Qingyun Qingyu to carry him to the ear room.

Fortunately, when Qiuniang came to take care of Liusu, she stayed in the anteroom for a few days, and it wasn't too chaotic inside.

After putting Sheng Tingye down, Lu Kui quickly checked his pulse.

With this probe, his brows were all wrinkled.

Immediately turned his head to look at Qingyun Qingyu, "How can you make the young master hurt so badly!"

Qingyun Qingyu, who had just been hit by a board, lowered her head even lower.

Of course they knew that the injury Lu Kui mentioned didn't just refer to trauma.

More importantly, it was the Gu poison.

But in front of Shen Qingci, without their master's orders, they dared not reveal a single word.

Lu Kui shook his head and sighed: "How could this be?"

Shen Qingci, who didn't know why, couldn't help asking: "Doctor, what happened to him?"

Lu Kui shook his head again, "There is poison on my body that hasn't been cleared, plus internal and external injuries, and this cold..."

Having said that, he raised his finger to Sheng Tingye's forehead.

"In this snowy day, the young master really didn't take his body seriously."

Not to mention coming out against the wind and snow with half-dry hair, and wearing such thin clothes, not even a big cloak...

Thinking of this, Lu Kui glanced inadvertently, and landed on Shen Qingci.

Seeing that Shen Qingci still looked dazed, Lu Kui gave a dry cough and reminded: "I caught cold again just now, and now I have a high fever."

Shen Qingci was startled suddenly.

Got a cold?

But, who said to her with a cold face when she got into the carriage an hour ago-this king can bear this bit of wind and snow?
