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

Chapter 172 Chapter 172
Different from the outside, Sheng Tingye was wearing a navy blue uniform. Compared with usual, he looked a little less indifferent and sharp.

Only the brows still carry the alienation and indifference that strangers should not get close to.

Shen Qingci was thinking about how to speak about going to see Liao's mother, but he heard him speak first: "Seven days later, there will be a palace banquet."

"You follow me."

Shen Qingci himself didn't have a good impression of the palace, and what happened yesterday made him even more conflicted.

But she also knows that with the status of Concubine Ning, many things are beyond her control.

In the blink of an eye, she was already ready to go to the banquet, but she heard Sheng Tingye say again: "If it's something else, I can say that I won't go away, but that day, the queen mother invited Qin Jiaojiao."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci couldn't help frowning.

Sheng Tingye deliberately mentioned this sentence, what does it mean?
Nanny Gui and the others are still outside, and now there are only the two of them in the room, Shen Qingci lowered his voice, and tentatively asked: "Is it because you are worried that someone will plot against her?"

That "someone" was of course referring to the queen, they were tacit.

Sheng Tingye went to get a teacup and poured himself a glass of water. He didn't answer Shen Qingci's question directly, but asked instead: "Don't you care about her?"

Shen Qing understood.

Sure enough, the queen is very likely to attack at the banquet.

She nodded and smiled gratefully at Sheng Tingye: "Thank you, Lord, for reminding me."

Sheng Tingye glanced at her noncommittally.

He only took a look at Qin Jiaojiao from a distance today.

Comparing with the previous tip report, although the temperament of these two people is similar, there are many differences.

He only blamed himself for not finding out the truth before and investigating to the end, which is why he admitted his mistake for so long.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Sheng Tingye wanted to get up and change clothes. There were still a lot of things waiting for him in the study.

But when he turned his head and saw the furnishings all over the room, he remembered that he asked Qingyun to move everything to the North Courtyard.

Looking at the empty main house, with Shen Qingci's intelligence, he must have understood that Sheng Tingye couldn't get down if he asked Qingyun to bring the things back at this time.

He took a sip of tea and coughed dryly: "Qingyun."

Qingyun suddenly appeared outside the door.

Sheng Tingye didn't even raise his eyelids, and his tone was so cold that he was about to freeze, "Who told you to take the king's things away without authorization?"

Inexplicably, Qing Yun received a scolding: "???"

Isn't this what the master told him to move out before?

Qingyun looked up subconsciously, opening his mouth to explain, but when he raised his eyes, he met Sheng Tingye's eyes that implied warning.

Qing Yun was shocked, suddenly blessed to the heart, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake: "It's the fault of the subordinate, the subordinate will be moved back here, and please forgive the sin of the master."

Sheng Tingye withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "Go."

Qing Yun, who had received an amnesty: "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Qingyun tapped his toes and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Shen Qingci raised his eyes and looked at the direction where Qingyun was leaving, and couldn't help muttering, Qingyun's lightness kungfu progressed too fast!
Of course, after being surprised, Shen Qingci remembered that he had to face a fact - Sheng Tingye wanted to live here?
She thought that if she dealt with Nanny Gui last night, the matter would be over.

After all his things were moved away, he definitely didn't intend to live here, Shen Qingci was glad that he was comfortable living alone.

now……

The thought of sleeping on the same bed with this person and having to act like a loving couple at all times gave Shen Qingci a headache.

Moreover, this person resists and dislikes her even getting closer, how can he stand acting under the same roof as her?
Shen Qingci smiled awkwardly, and reminded him very understandingly: "My lord, there is no need to be so reluctant."

She was just about to say, anyway, Nanny Gui had passed the test, and if the queen wanted to inquire again, he just ordered the two maids.

But before she could speak, Sheng Tingye had already got up and gave her a faint glance: "It's okay, I don't force it."

After speaking, he got up and left the house.

Before Shen Qingci could say anything, he was beaten back lightly.

When he was far away, Shen Qingci remembered that he hadn't said anything about leaving the mansion.

The courtyard was full of maids and wives, Shen Qingci had no choice but to wait for him to mention it when he came back.

This waited from morning to sunset.

Even lunch and dinner were used by Shen Qingci alone.

She also sent a maid to inquire, only to find out that he has been busy with government affairs in the study.

Qingyun's work was very fast, and he moved all Sheng Tingye's things back at noon.

When it was time to light the lamp, Shen Qingci looked at his extra things in the room, and was in a daze for a moment.

It feels like a dream.

More than a month ago, the two were back and forth, tit for tat, but now they live under the same roof.

It's just that she waited and waited, but she didn't find anyone else. Seeing the time getting late, she didn't dare to sneak out of the palace to find Liao's mother rashly, so she had to give up first.

Why don't you just use the opportunity of returning to the door the next day to meet her.

Thinking of this, a string in Shen Qingci's heart was loosened, and he fell asleep in a daze.

She hasn't slept well for days.

She was forced to wake up early the day she got married, and was dragged up early the next morning to pack up and enter the palace.

Last night, Sheng Tingye fell into a coma due to high fever. She stayed by the bed, so she could only doze off and didn't sleep well all night.

Therefore, she slept very deeply this time, and she didn't even notice when there was another person beside her.

Sheng Tingye was busy until late at night.

Guessing that she was already asleep and didn't want to wake her up, he stopped the night watch lady who was coming to serve, and entered the room lightly.

Most of the red candles in the room had been burned, and she was sleeping soundly with the quilt in her arms.

When she was asleep, she let go of the wariness and guard against him when she was awake, and nestled there obediently, just like the cat he raised when he was a child.

That quiet and beautiful appearance made his heart soften in an instant.

Sheng Tingye's eyes fell from her shoulders, followed the ups and downs of the quilt, and finally landed on her lap.

Thinking of the two hours when she was punished in the palace yesterday and stood in the cold wind, Sheng Tingye's eyes subconsciously narrowed slightly, and the softness and gentleness just faded away in an instant, replaced by a biting cold killing intent.

He thought that if he didn't go, he would pretend to be indifferent to her, so that his mother wouldn't see how much he cared about her, so naturally she wouldn't set his mind on her.

As it turns out, he was wrong.

Whether he cared or not, his mother would rather kill her by mistake than let her go.

At this moment, Sheng Tingye only hated himself for not being strong enough.

Just give him a little more time...he will make no one in this world dare to touch her in the slightest.

Thinking of this, Sheng Tingye raised his hand, and his fingertips lightly landed on the quilt. He rolled over on the bed and gently hugged her from behind through the quilt.

With her in his arms, the originally cold and empty heart was filled with tenderness at this moment.

His dark and cold world is full of calculations and calculations, and because of her appearance, there is light and warmth.

However, with just one movement, the Gu worms in his body screamed again.

The bone-piercing pain made him break out in cold sweat, and it was even difficult for him to breathe.

Sheng Tingye had no choice but to take a deep breath, his heart was cold, he withdrew his hand, kept a distance from her, and suppressed his feelings that were about to lose his mind, deliberately deceiving himself and wrapping his newly softened heart with ice again .

Only by "deceiving" himself, can he temporarily linger under the gnawing of this Gu insect for a while.

If he can't find the glass fire bead again, Sheng Tingye doesn't know how long this body can last.

On his side, he kept using his willpower to fight against the Gu poison in his body, and couldn't sleep all night.

And Shen Qingci slept very soundly this time.

So much so that when he woke up and found that there was suddenly an extra person beside him, Shen Qingci was so shocked that he almost jumped three feet high.
