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

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Xiao Wenyan's tone was colder than his expression.

Shen Qingci shrugged indifferently, "It's best not to know."

Who doesn't know how much Xiao Wenyan cares about and dotes on this younger sister.

Even if the rumors are not true, it is enough to say that Xiao Wenyan still remembered to take the risk to send the person Xiao Yuexi was looking for back to Chu King's Capital at the critical moment of disturbing Miaochuan, which is enough to show that he cares about Xiao Yuexi.

Shen Qingci was quite surprised, Xiao Wenyan was so cruel and unscrupulous, but he was special to Xiao Yuexi.

Therefore, his reaction just now was not normal.

Shen Qingci was just probing, and he never thought that he would still be a little bit angry from embarrassment.

This is even more unusual.

Shen Qingci only smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, Qiuniang bowed and retreated from the inner hall.

"His Royal Highness, the queen has just woken up, and she is extremely tired. It is really not appropriate to work too hard. She ordered her servants to pass on her oral instructions. All affairs in the court are decided by the prince recently, and there is no need to come again."

This is for Xiao Wenyan to continue supervising the country.

However, upon hearing this, Xiao Wenyan's face was not the slightest bit happy.

If he had received this oral order before, he would be overjoyed.

But right now, King Yong'an just forced the palace, and the lady threw this stall to him. This is obviously a test and temptation for him.

If he handles it impartially, some people will say that he is ruthless and ungrateful, and that his filial piety is beyond heaven, and this alone is enough to make the world criticize him.

If he was merciful, showed some selfishness, and had so many eyes staring at him, every mistake he made would be found out and magnified, let alone when he was so sensitive.

Throw this hot potato to him, no matter what he does with it, it will be a subject of discussion.

But he had to accept this verbal instruction.

Xiao Wenyan took the order, and before leaving, he turned his head to look at Shen Qingci: "Since you have restrained me, why did you tell him to stare at me?"

As he said that, he glanced at Sheng Tingye before continuing: "After all, as him, you think it's appropriate to participate in the state affairs of Chu State?"

Xiao Wenyan still doesn't know the real identities of Sheng Tingye and Shen Qingci in this shell.

He only knew that Lin Yu's identity was fake, and that Sheng Tingye's real identity was prominent, but he hadn't figured out who it was.

Wang Baoqin knew about it, but Shen Qingci didn't give her a chance to speak out on the way to Chu King's Capital.

Ignoring the chill in Xiao Wenyan's eyes, Shen Qingci smiled slightly: "I think it's quite appropriate."

"After all, you are so cunning, if you don't let him watch, how can I rest assured."

Xiao Wenyan didn't say anything anymore, he turned around with a cold face and left.

Sheng Tingye naturally followed closely behind, but when he left, he gave Shen Qingci a reassuring look.

He understands her.

Asking Sheng Tingye to follow Xiao Wenyan, of course, is not just as simple as watching Xiao Wenyan.

The secret guards under Sheng Tingye's hands are all elites, and it's the same for Qingyun and the others to do such a thing.

The reason why Sheng Tingye must be won, she has her own considerations.

After watching the two of them leave the main hall, they quickly went down the jade steps and could no longer be seen, Shen Qingci then looked away.

Qiuniang at the side saw Shen Qingci who was a little distracted, and reminded softly: "Miss, the lady just took the medicine and fell asleep. Miss, do you want to have breakfast first?"

Shen Qingci rushed over early in the morning and didn't even bother to eat. Qiuniang knew that she was in charge of the Tai Chi Hall.

"it is good."

It was only after being reminded by Qiuniang that Shen Qingci felt hungry.

She returned to the side hall again.

The meals have been prepared, and they are all her favorites.

Shen Qingci had enough to eat and drink, and then asked people to leave. There were footsteps outside the door, she followed the sound and looked over, and when she raised her eyes, she met her father Jiang Zhizhou's loving gaze.

Qiuniang has sent all the maids away, there are no outsiders here.

Shen Qingci greeted with a smile: "Father, drink tea."

Jiang Zhizhou was wearing a navy blue round-neck gown belonging to the imperial hospital. Even though he was a few years old, his temperament was as calm as ancient jade, and his steps were elegant and dignified, which was outstanding.

What should be said has been said a lot in the inner hall before, and now when the father and daughter are alone, Jiang Zhizhou becomes more reserved and guilty.

"How are you doing recently?"

As soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down opposite Shen Qingci, he stretched out his hand towards Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci cooperatively handed over her wrist, allowing her father to diagnose her pulse.

"Don't worry, Dad, it's fine."

Jiang Zhizhou nodded, stared at her, and found that although her pulse was chaotic, but beating strongly, he was relieved.

"Your body has been nourished by glass fire beads, and your pulse is different from others. It seems to be messy, but it is orderly and vigorous in the chaos, which is a good thing."

Shen Qingci said with a smile: "I think so too."

Moreover, with regard to this messy pulse condition, she had helped her a lot before, for example, the doctor Zhou and others sent by the empress had fooled her.

Seeing Shen Qingci's smiling face so close at hand, Jiang Zhizhou couldn't stop laughing.

He withdrew his hand, looked down at the plush carpet on the ground in front of him, and said apologetically, "Ah Wan, do you blame daddy?"

Shen Qingci was puzzled: "Father, where did you say that?"

Jiang Zhizhou blamed himself and said, "It's because I worried too much. If I had recognized you the first time I saw you in the Jiang Family Cemetery, and then brought you to find your mother, would it be wrong? What's the situation now?"

Shen Qingci raised his hand and poured Jiang Zhizhou a cup of hot tea, and said in relief, "Father, don't think so."

"After all, no one could have expected what happened later."

"And, to take a step back, even if you took me away back then, I woke up in this body at that time, not to mention that my kung fu has not recovered, I walk with one step and three breaths, and besides, there is no one around me. Yes, what we have to face is not only Sheng Tingjing's pursuit, but also Gu Qiuli who is hiding in the dark. How can Dad guarantee that we will be able to see A Niang alive and wait for something better than now? situation?"

This question stopped Jiang Zhizhou.

"At the end of the day, Dad is useless and failed to protect you."

Jiang Zhizhou lowered his head in shame.

Shen Qingci pushed the teacup in front of him, and said with a smile, "How could that be?"

"Daddy has done everything you could do at that time."

He is a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken, can use his death shield to avoid the pursuit of Sheng Tingjing's people, can secretly investigate Gu Qiuli, and even traveled thousands of miles to come to A Niang's side, just because of this tenacity And persistence, Shen Qingci has already admired.

"Not to mention, Dad."

Shen Qingci raised his hand and tugged at the corner of Jiang Zhizhou's clothes, and when Jiang Zhizhou turned his head to look at her, she said: "I know, Dad has always been worried about my marriage, afraid that I was forced to marry , but Aye and I are in love with each other, and this marriage is a happy one for me."

"Father, don't worry."

Although Jiang Zhizhou had secretly watched Shen Qingci's relationship with Sheng Tingye in Qingzhou before, it was not enough to hear Shen Qingci's words at this time to reassure him.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

But Shen Qingci didn't let go of his hand holding his sleeve immediately.

"Father, there is one more important matter." (End of this chapter)
