Since Si Yunxiu and Shen Ying talked about the wedding date, she has become completely different from the past. She used to be as willful as if she was in the sky, but now she is in the palace to cultivate herself and cultivate her character. She never goes out of the door and moves, and her actions are perfect and impeccable, and she can no longer see the shadow of the past.

Shen Ying sat by the pond, staring at the swimming fish raised inside in a daze. She sat here most of the day, and no one knew what she was looking at or thinking.

Si Yunxiu's wedding date was engraved in her mind like a brand, but what overlapped on it was another lazy face.

That Ri Yanxun said those words. She refused to leave him with righteous words, but she could not control her desire to pass by day. A voice in her mind kept shouting, causing her to escape from this place regardless of everything. However, every time this thought came, the scene of her brother leading the Tianji soldiers to fight on the battlefield immediately made her feel excited, telling her that the whole Tianji was in dire straits and that she could not be so selfish and wanted to keep herself alone.

Si Yunxiu said that no matter how bold the vassal state of Tianji was, they would not dare to attack the three days before their marriage. They were not so bold that they openly became enemies of the two powerful countries.

After hearing this, Shen Ying couldn't tell whether it was sad or happy. She went through a lot of effort and finally changed to only three days. Fortunately, she didn't get anything. Even if she only had one hour, she would strive for it. Perhaps there would be a turning point in these three days?

Thinking of this, she immediately became willing to do so. That was Tianji, her motherland, her father's hard work, her mother's grave, her brother's ideals, and her people who support her. What reason does she have not to protect all of these?

"Marry me, is it that bad?" Si Yunxiu's voice sounded coldly from behind, and Shen Ying was so scared that she trembled.

She would no longer be like when she first came, and a sudden voice could make her scream, and her face was panicked like a frightened rabbit. Although she unexpectedly came, she immediately recovered as usual, stood up calmly and said, "Ying and Your Highness have been engaged."

Her words avoid the important things, her etiquette is impeccable, and her smile is just right. She is worthy of being the most favored princess in Tianji. The royal daughter will never forget what she should look like in a formal occasion. This is also what a princess should look like in the eyes of all subjects in the world.

However, a layer of disappointment slowly accumulated in Si Yunxiu's dark eyes, and then he became increasingly angry.

If a person is really happy, there must be a smile in her eyes. But she doesn't.

No matter how he treats her, she will not be invasive in front of her. It’s not that she doesn’t know how she used to be, so she knows how false her actions are now, just like now, she is clearly full of thoughts and does not show any of her face.

She wrapped herself in a cocoon shell, and presented her with the playful and lively soul, only a shriveled and sluggish body. The more serious the disguise, the more distant the two people are.

Seeing that his face was deep and he didn't say anything, Shen Ying was thinking about saying something nice, and Si Yunxiu suddenly said, "I will not be a foolish monarch who can't stand the truth. When you are only you and me, you don't have to work so hard to disguise yourself."

Rather than this, he prefers to see her screaming at him and fighting with fists, at least that was the real her.

Shen Ying's smile froze. When someone said this, she couldn't say anything even if she was thick-skinned and silently lowered her eyes.

Si Yunxiu said: "In the past two days, you have been living in silence and quietly inquire about my preferences with my father, and want to meet his preferences. Faced with Wen Duona's several provocations, you can tolerate it. Outsiders say that the princess of Tianji is gentle and generous, and can be the mother of a country."

"Isn't this good?" Shen Ying smiled, with a hint of bitterness.

Si Yunxiu's eyes became deeper and deeper, "Okay, that's great." He was noble and generous, without losing his sense of duty, and earned them a lot of face. But this was not what he wanted.

"If I hadn't seen you before, I would think it's good. But unfortunately, I've seen you." Si Yunxiu rarely said so many things in one breath. Without waiting for Shen Ying to refute, he continued: "You suppress yourself, respect me in the face, and are afraid of me. I say one, you won't say two. The reason is that you don't have me in your heart and don't trust me. It's true that we have a engagement, but this engagement was what I asked for. So I'm sincere to you. Even if I know that you regard this engagement as a deal, I still can't reject you."

Shen Ying wanted to move her eyes away, but he suddenly raised her chin and forced her to look at him.

With eyes facing each other, Shen Ying looked at the dark eyes at a glance, with disappointment, heartache, sadness, but not a single joy.

He looked at Shen Ying and said word by word, "But you didn't see these. Or you didn't want to see my heart at all?"

Shen Ying didn't know what, but suddenly shed tears. The tears rolled down, and Si Yunxiu suddenly stopped and his face suddenly became at a loss.

He is in such a college and governs the country. He has always been a girl who speculates about his thoughts, and he has never coaxed girls.

His Highness Xilu, who had always been calm and calm, had no idea for the first time. He stood there in a daze for a long time and didn't know what to say. Seeing her face full of tears, the more she was flowing, it seemed that she could not finish wiping it, the anger in Si Yunxiu immediately dissipated halfway, and she was stunned for a while before she thought of wiping her tears. But he, a big man, could not find a silk handkerchief, so he couldn't pull him... In the end, it was really impossible. Si Yunxiu had to pull a piece of cloth from the clothes and hand it to her. His tone was already much softer than before, "Don't cry. I'm not trying to scold you, I just thought that you... were a little depressed for a while, so I..."

As he was talking, he didn't know what to say, so what?

Shen Ying didn't know, but not only did not improve when she heard this, but she cried even harder.

Si Yunxiu's head was as big as a bucket, and the only remaining anger disappeared. Finally, he could only say, "Forget it, I'll take it back just now, do whatever you want in the future." After that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

The corner of the clothes behind her was gently grabbed, Shen Ying pulled him, and after a while, she finally sobbed and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I know your feelings, I have known from the beginning. You are right, I have always pretended to be like you now. But..." She paused, as if she was embarrassed to say the following words, "But it is not because I don't trust you, but I can't let others see that the Crown Princess you want to marry was such an uncontrollable person. Don't worry, although I have been playing tricks since I was a child, I have never forgotten my identity. I... will be a qualified Crown Princess, the future queen of Xilu, and will not embarrass Xilu and Tianji. I will coexist with you in the wind and rain, and do my best to assist you. I will give you all my things, except..." Shen Ying's eyelashes trembled and suddenly stopped.

Except for love.

"I know what you want, please give me some time." After hesitating for a while, Shen Ying whispered.

Si Yunxiu turned around and looked at her deeply, sighing silently, "Let's have a good rest."

What does this mean? Shen Ying looked at the direction she left with confusion, full of doubts.

"There are no ones, and I'm still reluctant to leave?" A sound suddenly exploded in her ears, which scared her so much that she couldn't help but scream and jumped away from afar. When she turned around, she saw Yan Xun holding her belly and smiling as she trembled.

Shen Ying's eyes were still red, and she saw clearly that the person came was not good and said angrily: "Why are you elusive!"

"I'm happy." Yan Xun smiled enough, glanced at not far away, and said sarcastically, "The big girl confessed her love and was touching, but how could she meet a wooden face."

Shen Ying was so embarrassed that her ears turned red, and she glared at him angrily, "You are shameless to eavesdrop on us!"

Yan Xun raised his eyebrows, and the words "we" were very dissatisfied with his wishes. "Hey, you won't really fall in love with this cold little prince."

His smile was very bright, but his two shiny eyes were flashing with unconcealed spy.

Shen Ying didn't like his sour tone, and retorted: "I'm older than you."

Without hearing the answer I was looking forward to, Yan Xun frowned when she heard this, and the smile on her face was a little unhurried, "Hey, I remember you liked Qianfan so much. You, you don't like him anymore? Actually, Qi Xiu..."

"Yan Xun." Shen Ying took the lead and stopped his words. A bleakness appeared on the corner of her lips, and it was fleeting. She said lightly: "I don't like him at all." She sighed and looked at the blue sky in the distance. "I used to fantasize about being held in his hand and pampering in his heart. But these days I realized that the purpose of liking is not to be loved by him, but to love him and pampering him. I had not liked him before... I was not to be liked. The reason why I pursued it all the way was that I felt more likely that I was unwilling to give up. I felt that the girl he liked should not be worse than me, even if it was not me, she was as stupid as Qi Xiu, and would not let him take a look at it more."

But luck makes people beat people, and he just falls in love with the most unlikely type of person.

Shen Ying's tone suddenly became relaxed, "Okay, Brother Qianfan has experienced too many things and is too heavy. A girl like Qi Xiu who only listens to him and believes in him is more suitable for him."

"I have said that you will meet someone who regards you as the pearl in your palm, spoils you and protects you without thinking, and will never abandon each other for the rest of your life. He can stir the world upside down for you. Even if it is not Qianfan, there will definitely be such a person who is waiting for you silently in a corner that you can't see. Don't you plan to find it?"

Shen Ying's nose felt sore and she immediately turned her face. She thought that she had met such a person, but she probably wouldn't have any deeper intersections throughout her life.

"Yan Xun, I came here and I wouldn't have any other thoughts." After a while, Shen Ying said softly.

Yan Xun looked at her with his eyes narrowed, feeling that the girl in front of him had grown up overnight, became mature and sober, and was no longer the willful and coquettish little girl he used to be.

This change made Yan Xun's heart startled.

All maturity is mostly accompanied by pain, and she is very secretive.

Yan Xun's eyes were stained with a hint of sadness, and after a while, he said, "I understand, then you have a good rest."

"Three days later, Si Yunxiu and I will be married. Will you... come?" Shen Ying called him from behind.

Yan Xun's eyes flashed and he pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's talk about it."

Shen Ying couldn't see his expression, and just thought that he wouldn't come if he said this. Looking at his slightly lonely and heavy back, he felt lost.

After meeting Si Yunxiu and Yan Xun one after another, Shen Ying, who was not in good mood at all, became even more depressed and she was not even in the mood to watch the fish, so she had to go back to the bedroom. When she passed by the Smoke Garden, the conversation between the two palace guards accidentally came into her ears.

Gong Weijia said, "Hey, have you heard that there was a Zhongzhou man coming a few days ago. I don't know what the origin is. He said that he was here to send a dowry to the princess on behalf of Tianji, and was regarded as a guest of honor by our Highness."

Shen Ying frowned. Si Yunxiu regarded Yan Xun as a guest of honor, probably because of his identity as an imperial merchant.

Gong Weiyi said disdainfully: "I heard that the person who left just now is not the case? What does it mean that Tianji sent a dowry? After so many days, let alone a dowry, I didn't even see a copper baby. In my opinion, it was just a cheating food and drink."

When Gong Wei heard the words of Yan Xun eating and drinking, Shen Ying frowned even deeper. If it were in Tianji, she would have jumped out to beat them. Unfortunately, this is Xilu, and she has no position to teach them a lesson for the time being.

A gentleman takes revenge, it’s not too late for ten years. I will deal with you when I get married! She knows that she can’t make mistakes, but she still secretly takes a revenge in her heart.

Just as he was thinking this, Gong Weijia spoke again, "Don't say that, this is the Xilu Palace. There are a few people who dare to eat and drink here. Your Highness still let him walk around the palace. Maybe this person has some great skills."

Gong Weiyi still looked down on him, "What kind of ability is the world? I can tell you that my distant nephew who was working in the outer city has seen it. This person knows how to eat and drink outside every day, listen to operas and sing music and go shopping in brothels. He is drunk when it is almost dawn, and then goes out the next day, and continues to go straight to those places that are not bad..."

Later, the two people said something that Shen Ying had no intention of listening. She felt the anger in her stomach rushing, and her mind was filled with Yan Xun drinking wine, hugging her and holding her in the brothel. It turned out that she had not seen anyone for so many days, and she was actually going out to be free and easy!

Good, you Yan Xun, why don’t you die from drunkenness?

...

The lifeless Jiuli Tower. Zhu Yunjiu looked at the sky bored, as if no matter how warm the sun was, the killer's nest could not get hot.

But she had long been used to it. The only thing that could make the killer boil was probably blood and life.

"The master, you're off the door." Wuyi came in from outside and "was walking to the evil garden."

Zhu Yunjiu glanced at him, his eyes as if they were slight sarcasm and unhappiness, "Leave the subordinates of the sect leader?"

She especially emphasized the three words "Leave the Master". Wuyi's eyes shrank and she lowered her head, "It was the subordinate who was speechless."

"Master, my subordinates are looking for a meeting." A person's voice sounded outside the door, which was exactly what Wu Yi said, "Minister who has left the master's subordinates."

"Enter." Zhu Yunjiu ordered that the person came was A Xin, the person who brought Qi Xiu back that day. When he saw it was him, a hint of impatientness flashed in Zhu Yunjiu's eyes. Without waiting for him to speak, he said first: "If it was for the sake of long-living, then you can go back now." She said that she would come to see her when she had rested. Unexpectedly, it was almost a month before she showed up.

A Xin paused gently, and did not do what she said, but continued to salute and said, "Please try to save the sect master!"

Save? Zhu Yunjiu was puzzled. She thought Qi Xiu didn't want to come to see her, so she asked him to come forward to plead with her. Anyway, she has done a lot of things like this in the past. I don't know if she is creepy or something. Among the five sects, only this Changli Sect Master is willing to see her, but she doesn't want to see her.

But now Axin actually said that she would save her? It was strange. When it comes to saving people, no one in Jiuli Building can match her. Even if she saves people, she will save others. How could it be someone else's turn to save her?

Zhu Yunjiu's tone was more cold than doubt, "Is she going to die?" She had no choice but to die. When it came to her, she had no choice. When talking about medical skills and poison skills, not to mention that in Jiuli Tower, even if she was outside, there were few rivals, and it was no other person's turn to save her. Fortunately, she did not have the usual distinction between good and evil in the world. She was given whatever medicine she asked her to give, which was obedient enough. This is why she could indulge her to this point.

Axin told the story about the day. It turned out that after he had handled the matter that day, he went to Qixiu to see how she was. Unexpectedly, he found no one in the whole door. Finally, he heard a low murmur, and then he found her in the bathtub.

I don’t know how long she had been soaking in it, but when she found out that she was unconscious, her whole body seemed to be fished out of ice, and there was no temperature at all for living people. Her skin was soaked in water, and her skin turned white, like a steamed bun.

Her serious illness has not been cured, and such a struggle is like adding insult to injury. Axin tried every means and even used her skills to drive away the cold. After another month of twists and turns, Qi Xiu finally woke up.

But after waking up, she seemed to be a different person. In the past, she loved to talk and laugh. Although her bright and ignorant personality was an alien in this place where killers were everywhere, she was also the only living existence here. But this time, she didn't go out and lay straight on the bed every day, letting her eat as much as she could, and letting her drink as much as she could.

What made him feel the most cold on his back was that if he didn't stop her, she would keep eating and drinking, making her belly round, and she continued to eat after vomiting, and she was like a soulless marionette.

Zhu Yunjiu sneered after hearing this, "So how do you want me to save her? Or order her or coerce her?"

Her eyes became increasingly indifferent, but also as sharp as a blade. "You must be clear that Changli listened to me not because she was afraid of me, but because I kept asking her to do what she loved to do."

"But after so long, she didn't seem to realize that she was actually a killer, and the killer shouldn't have feelings. I didn't let her eat and drink for free after so long. If she could be well, it was her fate. If she couldn't, a person without emotional ups and downs might become my extremely sharp blade! But if she couldn't get well, she wouldn't be obedient..." Zhu Yunjiu's lips curled up a faint hint of coldness, "You know the consequences of those disobedient people in the building."

A Xin seemed to think of something, and breathed under the mask and said, "I know. But..."

"Stop!" Zhu Yunjiu cut him off with a sharp look, his eyes suddenly as sharp as a knife. "Although you are a subordinate of Changli, don't forget that you are the first person from my Jiuli Tower, and Zhu Yunjiu is your serious master!"
