Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 15 What is the truth

The birthday banquet of Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty ended with the sound of toasting among civil and military officials.

After Shen Qingli got up with Lu Huai, the two prepared to leave the palace in a carriage.

But when she was about to leave, Prince Mu Yunheng appeared.

Mu Yunheng didn't shy away from the officials who left around and their relatives. "A Li, let's find a place to talk about it." Mu Yunheng stared at her with burning eyes, wishing to see every change in his expression.

Shen Qingli glanced at Mu Yunheng lightly with her bland eyes, then looked up at Lu Huaiqi who was standing behind her, "Master Dudu, please wait for me first."

Lu Huai narrowed his eyes dangerously, but he didn't stop her.

The two then moved to a verdant banyan tree in a palace.Because tonight is Ming Huai Emperor's birthday, dozens of palace lanterns were hung on the trunk of the banyan tree.

The candlelight from the palace lanterns made the whole scene even more splendid than daytime.Ran Mo and Mu Yunheng's attendants stood far away on the other side.

"His Royal Highness, if you have anything to say, you can talk to the concubine." Shen Qingli said quietly, without any emotion in her voice.

In private, she was still indifferent to him like a stranger, and the expression on Mu Yunheng's face instantly darkened.He bit his lip, and there was apology in his voice, "Ali, this year... are you okay? I'm sorry, it's me who hurt you."

Shen Qingli lightly raised her head and looked at the palace lantern hanging on the tree, her eyes became deeper and darker, like two little whirlpools.

"I'm not good, I've had a bad year." She replied calmly.

Mu Yunheng's heart felt as if someone had pricked him with a needle, and he ached slightly, "Ali, tell me, you were obviously buried in the coffin, how did you come back? What have you experienced in this year?"

Shen Qingli was silent and did not answer him.

Mu Yunheng couldn't help but stepped forward, his eyes flushed, "Ali, I know that I hurt you. If you have hatred for me, I won't blame you. If you don't want to share what happened before I said, I won't ask you anymore. But...don't ruin yourself anymore, leave Lu Huaiqi quickly. Lu Huaiqi is a dangerous man, you can't control such a man, it's too dangerous for you to stay by his side .”

When he spoke, he was emotional, and he couldn't restrain himself from reaching out and grabbing her hand.

Shen Qingli was held by him, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to shake off his fingers.Mu Yunheng wanted to move forward again, but Shen Qingli took a few steps back, glaring at him with cold eyes.

"Lu Huai is in danger? What about you, Your Royal Highness? Your Royal Highness, you clearly know what kind of environment I have lived in since I was a child, but you ran to the queen and told the queen that you wanted to marry me. Isn't that putting me in the fire? Well? That's right, Lu Huaiqi is definitely a dangerous man, but this dangerous man can at least save my life. How about you, Your Highness? I was trapped in the fire, and when the fire burned my skin, where were you, Your Highness? Where were you, Your Highness, when I was buried? And tonight, when I was almost pushed into the lake by someone sent by your queen mother? Your Highness, you are not even capable of protecting me, please don’t Come here and tell me what to do with my life."

This Mu Yunheng said that he wanted to marry her as the crown princess.But tonight when she was suppressed by Empress Shen and her gang, he didn't even ask to help her.

He is indeed inferior to Lu Huaiqi.

Her questioning voice became colder and colder each time.Mu Yunheng was left speechless by her questioning, and was impatient and didn't know what to do.

"His Royal Highness, I can swear here that I have never had any affection for you since I was a child. Please hold your fiancée for a hundred years and have a good relationship for a hundred years, and don't come to harm me again."

All that should be said has been said, Shen Qingli flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to leave.Mu Yunheng hurriedly caught up with her again and grabbed her sleeve. Shen Qingli stopped and looked back at him. Mu Yunheng hurriedly took out a jade token from his wide sleeve and forced it into Shen Qingli's hand, "Ah Li, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well before. This sign is my token, if anything happens to you in the future, someone will come to me with the sign."

Shen Qingli glanced down at the jade token in her hand, but the image of her nanny being wantonly humiliated flashed through her mind.Her dark eyes turned cold, and she threw it back to him directly, "When we meet again in the future, if you treat me like a stranger, it will be the greatest help to me." Since the current situation is doomed for her and Queen Shen A group of them are going to die.Then she can no longer expect any help from Mu Yunheng.

Shen Qingli waved her sleeves again and left directly.

Mu Yunheng held the jade tablet in his hand, frowning tightly.When the night wind blew, the palace lanterns hanging on the treetops fluttered with the wind, and the flickering lights shone on Mu Yunheng's body, making his figure look lonely and mesmerized.

"His Royal Highness, the Empress has someone summon you." One of his staff members ran over from the night at this time, and said respectfully to Mu Yunheng.

When Shen Qingli returned to the carriage, Lu Huaiqi was making tea for himself with boiling hot water.When the boiling hot water meets the tea leaves, the air is immediately filled with a faint tea fragrance.

Shen Qingli watched Lu Huaiqi's ten slender fingers move methodically on the blue-and-white porcelain painted in blue on a white background, and finally brought a cup of steaming tea to her.

She took it, took a sip, and the tea had been replaced with Emei Xueya.

The tea she used to like to drink.

Originally thought that Lu Huaiqi would ask her questions while drinking tea, for example, even if she didn't die before being buried, who rescued her from the coffin?And what has she experienced in this year?
All kinds of questions like this.

But Lu Huaiqi unexpectedly didn't ask her any more questions.It wasn't until the carriage was about to return to the Dudu's Mansion that Shen Qingli finally lost his composure, put down the celadon teacup in his hand, raised his eyes and asked him, "Aren't you going to ask me some questions?"

She knows how to repay her kindness.Tonight Lu Huaiqi will help her at the dinner party. If he asks, she can tell him something.

Lu Huai smiled brightly, his handsome face in the hot air was more beautiful than the flowers blooming on the celadon. "Don't worry, there are some things that we will get along with for a long time in the future, and the governor will know."

Her ghostly face was also seen by Lu Huai through a layer of white mist.A few days ago, Lu Huaiqi felt that she was so ugly that he would not even want him to be his door god, but now he felt that her ugly face was not really that embarrassing.

After thinking for a while, he smiled, "Just now, I suddenly remembered what to say to you. Shen Qingli, in fact, it is very smart for you to recommend yourself to be the governor's concubine. Today It was my negligence that caused you to be almost killed by the queen's people. But if you are willing in the future, in fact, you just need to hug Bendu's thigh tightly, and Bendu will avenge you."

Through the mist of smoke, Shen Qingli slightly raised her eyelashes to meet his eyes.

Deep and obscure.

She can't see through.

I'm not even going to bother thinking about it.

"Thank you Dudu for your generosity." Shen Qingli smiled lightly, but the smile didn't catch her eyes, "But there are some things that you can only feel happy if you do it yourself."

Even if Lu Huaiqi really helped her a lot in the palace tonight, she wouldn't just be bewitched by his few words.

She was so kind that she didn't even think about it a little bit, so she rejected him directly.

Lu Huai curled up a self-deprecating smile, then picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it down.

This little girl is a complete freak who can spoil the atmosphere of a conversation.

In An Guogong's mansion, Shen Qingjiao went straight back to her Yunxi courtyard after returning to the mansion.Not long after, Nanny Chen came to report Shen Qingjiao's affairs to Ning Ruoyan, Mrs. An Guogong's wife.

"Reporting to Madam, the old slave has sent someone to investigate. As soon as the eldest lady returned to her yard, she took her anger out on the maids and nurses who served in her yard. Now all the servants in her yard have been arrested. Kneeling at the gate of the courtyard." Chen Momo pushed the other people in the room back, and said in Ning Ruoyan's ear gloatingly.

Ning Ruoyan, Mrs. An Guo, did not enter the palace tonight on the grounds that she was unwell.However, what happened in the palace quickly reached her ears.

Ning Ruoyan was lowering her head to smear her nails with Kodan. Hearing Madam Chen's words, her two willow-leaf eyebrows raised lightly, and she smacked her lips regretfully, "I missed such a beautiful show tonight, What a pity."

Nanny Chen grinned into Ning Ruoyan's ear and said with a smile, "Ma'am, the future will last forever. The one in the palace committed such a big crime more than ten years ago, and God is repaying her now. There will be more in the future." Today's more exciting drama is waiting for you to watch."

Ning Ruoyan smiled noncommittally, then put down the half-smeared Koudan on her hands, and got up.Mother Chen was puzzled, Ning Ruoyan smiled secretly, "Go to Yunxi Courtyard, I, as a mother, have to show up."

Nanny Chen paused for a moment and then asked her doubts again, "Ma'am, the emperor has already bestowed marriages on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eldest Miss. Can the two of them get married?"

The corners of Ning Ruoyan's mouth turned up slightly, and the mysterious smile on the corner of her lips suddenly turned dark, "Those who deserve to be condemned by God will not be blessed to see that day..."
