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

It's getting late.

The last afterglow of the setting sun fell from the distant hills and sprinkled on the river surface, sparkling golden water waves.

The wind that was originally carrying a little spring warmth gradually cooled down.

I've been out for too long, I've had enough laughs, I've had enough trouble, it's time to go back.

The blush on Shen Qingci's face did not fade, she originally didn't want to care about this thick-hearted guy, but she couldn't worry about his injury, so she had to hold his arm.

It was said to be supporting, but Sheng Tingye didn't ask her to use any strength.

After returning to the inn and closing the door, Shen Qingci asked curiously: "Do you think this Miaochuan City is a little... strange."

In the past, all her attention was on Sheng Tingye, who had been guarding him in a coma for several days without sleep. Now that he escaped by chance, when she went out for a walk today, she had time to pay attention to the surrounding scenery.

Sheng Tingye poured a cup of hot water for Shen Qingci, then picked up the newspaper on the side, and asked without answering, "How do you think Miaochuan is compared to Yunzhou?"

Shen Qingci didn't even think about it: "There is nothing comparable."

Yunzhou is in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is adjacent to the canal. It is not only a special geographical location, but also an important economic and transportation hub, connecting the north and the south.

Miaochuan River is wide and narrow due to its narrow terrain, and Jinping Mountain is behind it. Although it is a natural barrier, its development is also restricted by this geographical reason.

Moreover, Jingze County on the other side of the river is the most barren county on the border of Chu State because most of its territory is swampy wasteland.

Compared with the other border counties and counties that trade with Chu State, Miaochuan really does not have much advantage.

Therefore, Miaochuan is not far behind Yunzhou, and there is no comparison.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qingci suddenly understood without Sheng Tingye's elaboration.

She finally realized what was strange.

Because the flow of cargo ships and people at the ferry seems to be more prosperous than Yunzhou.

When Gu Qiuli took her to visit Miaochuan City before, she felt that the bustling and noisy city gave people an unreal feeling.

Therefore, compared with the pier arranged by Sheng Tingye, it was even more suspicious. It was only then that Gu Qiuli and she saw the flaw.

She had checked Miaochuan's newsletter before, and she had some understanding of the business exchanges in Miaochuan area, but there were no celebrations these days, and it was not a special day such as a solar term.

This bustling scene seems a little too much.

Shen Qingci always felt a little uneasy when he thought about the piece of jade he saw on Sun Zhiyue before.

Sheng Tingye raised his hand and rubbed the back of her neck, and said in relief: "I have asked someone to investigate, and there will be news soon."

Shen Qingci nodded.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Tingye discovered these strange things early in the morning.

As night fell and the weather turned cold, Shen Qingci was fine when he went out, but now it was a bit cold.

She couldn't help being cold, so she sneezed, and Sheng Tingye went to close the window.

He turned around and pulled Shen Qingci, and said softly: "Go to bed early, I'm afraid some troubles will come to haunt you tomorrow."

After being tired for the past few days, Shen Qingci really couldn't get enough sleep.

Just leaning on the pillow, she was already drowsy.

She was lying face to face on the inside of the bed, and Sheng Tingye was still the same as before, holding her into his arms from behind.

This place is no more comfortable and refined than the days in central Beijing. After taking a bath in the afternoon, he still has a lingering scent of saponins on his body.

Shen Qingci still felt cold at first, but as soon as he posted it, she felt that the whole bed was warmed up.

Shen Qingci just said that she could easily press on his wound if she was not careful, but he moved a little closer, and said in a calm tone: "It's okay."

These words sounded calm, but Shen Qingci still heard something unusual from his scorching breath in his ears and the slightly trembling ending.

Her drowsiness subsided completely, she pulled her heart and said: "But the poison is causing trouble again?"

Sheng Tingye grabbed her hand and stood in front of her. Hearing this, he only responded lightly.

"Fortunately."

He said it was okay, but it wasn't really that great.

Shen Qingci could feel it.

She suddenly thought of Gu Qiuli's words before.

She was with Sheng Tingye, and he spent a lot of time in love, and being backlashed by the poison, Shouyuan must have suffered a lot.

But emotion is something that can be restrained by reason.

If he could really be indifferent to her indifference, they wouldn't be able to get to where they are today.

He likes her, before she is tempted.

And at that time, he was clearly aware of his physical condition and couldn't move, but he still fell headfirst on her.

To him, she is the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow every time he thinks about it, the poison that he knows that he will die, but still wants to drink poison to quench his thirst.

Shen Qingci's heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help feeling: "Sheng Tingye, are you stupid?"

"Ok?"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qingci felt that the body of the person behind him froze.

Only then did she realize that she had said something wrong in such a situation of "the enemy is strong and we are weak". She was about to make amends when the person behind her responded.

Immediately, he heard him admit it for the first time: "Yes, it's a bit stupid."

With his temperament... Shen Qingci was a little surprised.

Sheng Tingye pinched her fingertips calmly, and said in a sad tone: "When Luofengpo fell into the glacier, there was no serious problem at first, but he couldn't let go of a cruel person. He was afraid that she would be worried that something would happen to her, and wanted to personally Go see her, and want to hold her in your arms again to feel at ease."

"It's stupid enough."

Shen Qingci: "..."

She was just expressing emotion, why is he still self-criticizing?
"After dragging her seriously injured body around for several times, she finally saw someone, but she ran away again before her injury recovered."

"I don't want Yunzhou, which is at my fingertips, but I want to drag my half-dead body here to die."

……

Listening to it, Shen Qingci felt something was wrong.

This is no self-criticism, this fellow is clearly taking advantage of the trend, and he is condemning her for retreating!

Sheng Tingye continued: "I escaped death and was tortured from body to heart, but I changed someone's stupid word."

Shen Qingci: "..."

She subconsciously lowered her head and groaned, "I was wrong."

Sheng Tingye smiled: "Madam, what's wrong, I'm obviously the one who is stupid."

Shen Qingci: "..."

Why didn't she see that this man was so aggressive and persistent!
But she said the wrong thing first, so she was somewhat guilty, so she couldn't get up.

Shen Qingci had no choice but to pretend to be a quail, pretending to be confused: "Oh! I'm so sleepy, I'll go to sleep first!"

Of course she knew that Sheng Tingye was not so easy to fool, she felt the person behind her hug her a little bit, and his breath was getting closer and closer.

Shen Qingci's heart skipped a beat.

She was ready to be "frivolous" by him again, but this man just hugged her and didn't make any further moves.

Somewhat surprised, Shen Qingci was slightly taken aback.

But Sheng Tingye chuckled, obviously seeing what she was thinking.

"Isn't Madam sleepy? Do you want to wait for me to do something?"

He clearly did it on purpose!

Shen Qingci was agitated, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"Sleepy, sleepy!"

Help, this person has [-] minds all over his body, she is no match at all.

Shen Qingci lamented in his heart.

At this moment, Sheng Tingye chuckled, resting his chin on the top of her hair, and said in a doting tone, "I can't help it. I'm always uncontrollably stupid when it comes to Madam."

Shen Qingci's heart felt warm, and his face also felt hot.

"Go to sleep."

Good night's sleep.

When he woke up the next day, it was the same as yesterday, the bed beside him was already empty, Shen Qingci turned his head and looked, Sheng Tingye was already sitting at the desk dealing with business.

Shen Qingci's movements were very light, but he still noticed it.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she met his cold eyes.

Originally, it was as unfathomable and unfathomable as a secluded pool, but the moment he saw her, he burst into a lingering and affectionate smile.

Shen Qingci stretched his waist, and while quickly putting on his coat, he asked casually: "What time is it? Why didn't you call me when you got up?"

She was still thinking about the Sun family.

Sun Zhili's people couldn't find out the identities of her and Sheng Tingye for a long time, so they couldn't sit still.

This is what Sheng Tingye said yesterday, trouble will come.

But seeing that the sun had already risen outside, they didn't move at all.

I don't know if Sun Zhili could hold his breath, or if he had other plans.

Sheng Tingye put down the newspaper in his hand, and handed Shen Qingci a cup of hot water.

"It doesn't matter, if there is any news, the hidden guard will send it back soon."

This time, because of the rush, Sheng Tingye didn't bring many people with him.

However, the Sun family and the various forces in Miaochuan have a close and complicated relationship, and it took a lot of manpower and effort to investigate.

He only left a few people in this inn to ensure the safety of him and Shen Qingci, and sent everyone else out.

Shen Qingci just held the teacup in his hand, before he could drink it, he heard three knocks on the door.

Sheng Tingye responded before someone came in and hurriedly said, "Master, Miss Wang is gone."

Wang Baoqin is missing? !
For a moment, Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

They did wait for the news from the secret guard, but they did not expect that it was the news that Wang Baoqin, who was right beside them, had an accident.

There are not many hidden guards staying in the inn, but the front and back doors, and every possible place to go out, are watched by their people openly and secretly.

Why was Wang Baoqin kidnapped right under the noses of these hidden guards?

Before Sheng Tingye could ask, the guard bowed and continued: "Not long ago, Miss Wang went to the back kitchen downstairs and said that she saw that the princess' stomach was not feeling well last night, and she wanted to make a bowl of yam and pumpkin rice porridge herself. In the back kitchen of this inn, the subordinates let her go, but they didn't wait for her to come back, and the subordinates were worried to follow them, only to find out that the back kitchen was lit with incense, and a large piece of medicine was poured out, and Miss Wang was not there in."

It just so happened that it was past breakfast time at that time, and there were no diners in the lobby downstairs, so no one noticed the strangeness in the back kitchen.

"But we were guarding the front and back doors of the inn, but we didn't see her being taken away."

This is strange.

If that doesn't work, how can he use a secret way to take people away?

Shen Qingci was about to ask someone to search around the inn again, she stood up herself and wanted to go to the back kitchen to have a look.

But before she could open her mouth, she heard another knock on the door, and the hidden guard dressed as a servant reminded outside the door: "Master, Mr. Sun is here."

The timing was a coincidence.

Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye exchanged a tacit look.
