Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 180

Fang Yan was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "There are many ways to inquire about the people around Yu Tai, and it is not necessarily necessary to inquire from Master Ziyang."

Shen Xinniang nodded, "It's natural, but this way saves more effort."

"That's not necessarily the case," Fang Yan disagreed, "If he is willing to say it, how can he be sure that what he said is the truth?"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes, picked up the tea that Dan Xin had just brewed on the desk, and took a sip, "This tea tastes weird."

"No way, my lady, the tea cakes that were rewarded from the palace?" Dan Xin stared in surprise.

Fang Yan took one more look at her, and snorted softly, "It's not the tea, it's the people who can't let go. So what if I have a grudge?"

Shen Xinniang raised the teacup in her hand at him, "Of course I can't do anything. But I want to know something within three days."

"So anxious?" Fang Yan narrowed his eyes.

"Don't think too much about it. It's not forcing you. I just want to do more homework before Yu Tai returns to the capital, so that he can be more prepared when he returns. As for whether you should inquire about it from Master Ziyang, or I don't care about inquiring from other places." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

"Xin'er has learned to be magnanimous now?" Fang Yan said with a half-smile, but there was some displeasure in her eyes.

"You said that I don't hate Master Ziyang as much as you do?" Shen Xiniang raised her eyebrows and asked.

Fang Yan remained silent, leaning back into the pillow bag in the swaying carriage.

"I don't blame him. It's just like what he said. He didn't say anything wrong. Everything is my fault. The responsibility lies with me. Why should I blame others?" Shen Xinniang said slowly, "As for you hating him, I don't think it's wrong, you don't have to forgive him, I think it's good."

Dan Xin listened anxiously.

Can't the lady's words be more straightforward?She is very happy to directly say that the prince hates that stinky Taoist priest, which shows that the prince cares about her, and she is very happy, isn't it?How can a man understand a woman's mind if she insists on twisting and turning simple words?
Fang Yan was not talking, and the atmosphere in the carriage, like the smell of tea, became weird.

Until the carriage entered Qi Palace and stopped slowly, neither of them spoke again.

Fang Yan got out of the carriage first, and turned around to help Shen Xiniang's hand.Shen Xinniang put her hand on Dan Xin's and left Fang Yan aside.

Fang Yan frowned slightly, took a step forward, and carried her out of the carriage domineeringly.

Shen Xinniang was taken aback.

"Isn't it three days? Within three days, I will give you an answer." Fang Yan said slowly on top of her head.

Shen Xinniang looked up and saw his stubborn handsome face, "Move to the main courtyard." He said again.

"That yard..."

"I don't listen to the reason." Fang Yan interrupted her directly.

"Are you so unreasonable?"

"What reason do I need to say about this kind of thing? The palace is mine, and so is you. Shouldn't it be up to me where I live?" Fang Yan looked into her eyes and said slowly.

He pronounced the two "mine" very clearly, and the hand holding her could not help but tighten.

Their eyes met, Shen Xinniang saw the domineering and assertiveness hidden in his gentle eyes, for some reason, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

She moved the corner of her mouth slightly, but there was no smile on her face, "Then it will be three days. Within three days, if you give me the answer I want, I will move to the main courtyard, how about it?"

Fang Yan hesitated for a moment.

Shen Xinniang said again: "Of course, even if you don't give me an answer, in the palace, everything should be up to your will. But even if they live in the main courtyard and you coerce them to move there, it's still me Wouldn’t it be different to be willing to move there by yourself?”

Fang Yan looked at her with a smile, "It seems that Xin'er has great confidence in me?"

Shen Xinniang nodded in his arms, "Of course I have confidence, otherwise, when the prince opened his mouth to expel Ziyang, why didn't I stop him?"

When Fang Yan heard this, his expression froze slightly.Shen Xinniang jumped out of his arms.

Her figure was agile and vigorous, under the sun, she looked like an elf. She looked back at him and moved the corners of her mouth. Although her expression was far from a smile, it made people feel light.

It turned out that she was willing to trust him and rely on him.In front of outsiders, she also respected him and did not open her mouth to contradict him.

Fang Yan saw her calmly leaving while holding Dan Xin's hand, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but smile.

"The relationship between the lady and the prince seems to be much better?" Dan Xin asked in a low voice, "Since we have to move there sooner or later, why does the lady have to make a condition of three days? Isn't it hurting the relationship instead?"

"Why did you hurt your feelings?" Shen Xinniang asked.

Dan Xin supported her hand, frowned and thought for a while, "When the lord opened his mouth, the lady agreed to come down, and if he asked for another three days, the lord would agree, and he didn't agree because of the coercion of the lady to move there. Wouldn't it be better emotionally?"

Shen Xinniang stopped when she heard the words, "One is to complete with expectations, the other is to complete with grudges, which one do you think feels better?"

Dan Xin was a little puzzled, "What do you mean, lady, if you move there first, and then mention the three-day deadline, will the prince feel resentful? No way?"

"It's not the three-day period that makes him feel bad, but the real Ziyang." Shen Xinniang explained.

Dan Xin still looked puzzled, now that he doesn't have any grudges?Looking back at the expression on the prince's face when the lady left, it really doesn't look like he still hasn't let go of it?

When she was dazed, the lady walked several steps past her, she hurriedly caught up, and heard the lady say slowly: "And these three days, we didn't delay for no reason."

"Huh?" Dan Xin stared, "What do you want my lady to say?"

"I remember that Su Yi is still in this yard?" Shen Xinniang asked.

Dan Xin nodded again and again, but her face was a little angry, "The lady still remembers her? Are you going to sell her?"

Shen Xinniang shook her head slowly, "You went to find a servant who was close to her."

Dan Xin nodded in response.

However, Shen Xinniang warned again, "Take him away quietly, don't let others find out."

Hearing this, Dan Xin looked solemn and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, lady."

Back to the capital, back to the palace.It took a lot of time to go back and forth like this. When I left, it was the season when the kapok was in full bloom, and now the kapok has long since fallen.The cicadas on the branches screamed while taking advantage of the summer heat.The morning wind brought some coolness, not so hot.

Shen Xinniang did not slack off in her early morning exercises.

On the second day after she just came back, she refused to sleep in. As soon as the eastern sky turned white, she had already got up and washed.

It's just that now that Jin Xiang is not around, the person guarding outside the cedar forest is replaced by Dan Xin.

Danxin's spirit is not as good as Jinxiang's, and he is not as sharp as Jinxiang's martial arts practitioners. Standing outside the cedar forest, he can't help dozing off again and again.

The third-class maid who cleans the room with Yexiang naturally cannot sleep late.Su Yi got up early in the morning, seeing this rare opportunity, quietly approached the fir forest.

Dan Xin is not as vigilant as Jin Xiang.She had slipped into the cedar forest, but Dan Xin didn't notice.

There seemed to be a figure swaying in front of him, and the sound of rustling martial arts came from not far away.

Su Yi hid behind a cedar tree as thick as the two of them hugged each other, and peeked out.

Sure enough, she saw Shen Xinniang in pure white clothes holding a mahogany sword in her hand, turning over neatly and flying into the air, the mahogany sword pierced the air with murderous aura.

Suddenly there was the sound of fluttering wings, Su Yi quickly hid behind the cedar tree.

Shen Xinniang was practicing her sword, the flapping bird seemed to be quite spiritual, she didn't step forward to disturb her, but landed on Danxin's shoulder outside.

Dan Xin woke up with a jolt.

Su Yi saw that Dan Xin was no longer dozing off, and was about to retreat quietly from the cedar forest, but saw Dan Xin grabbing the bird's wing, and untied a thin bamboo tube from the bird's leg.

She quickly covered her mouth, and stared at Dan Xin with wide eyes.

She has waited and watched for so long, because she has never been able to get close to the lady, and has never obtained any useful information. Today, she thought that being able to see the lady practicing martial arts with her own eyes was already a big gain. When is there a bigger harvest? !
Wouldn't it be a pity to leave now?If you can hear some secrets, you will definitely get more benefits from Mama Su!
Su Yi wanted to lift up her footsteps a few times, but she held back her body, cowering behind the tall and thick fir tree, biting her lower lip, staring at Dan Xin and Shen Xinniang with her ears up.

Dan Xin raised her hand to let go of the bird, and only when Shen Xiniang stopped moving did she walk forward holding the small bamboo tube.

"Lady, it's Daoist Zhang's news." Dan Xin said in a low voice.

In the early morning, the woods are very quiet, only the occasional chirping of birds passing overhead.Su Yi, who was hiding behind the fir tree, could almost hear her own heartbeat, so naturally she would not miss Dan Xin's whispered words.

She turned her face to look secretly, and saw Shen Xinniang raised her hand to take the bamboo tube, poured out a very thin roll of note from the bamboo tube, and slowly opened it without saying a word.

Su Yi was a little anxious, what was written on the note?
"Lady, what did Daoist Zhang say?" Dan Xin actually asked the question she wanted to know.

"Yu Tai's injury has never healed." Shen Xinniang's tone was quite light.

Dan Xin looked happy, "Really? Is it all right now? Thanks to Zhang Daochang's delay, otherwise how could the masters come back so quickly? Leave Uncle Yu far behind?"

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly, "I won't treat him badly in the future, burn the note."

"Yes." Dan Xin took the note with both hands, followed behind Shen Xinniang, and walked briskly out of the cedar forest.
