Chapter Eighteen What Happened That Night
When Chu Qingyan talked about Shen Muchen, his eyes almost shone.
In his adult life, Zitian once suspected that in the eighteen years since the two were together when they were young, in the words Qingyan and herself had told her that there should be no more than a hundred words left.
Thinking of this, Shen Zitian felt a little lost, and he looked at her expectant eyes.
If someone else comes to say these words to him, Zi Tian will definitely think that the person cares about him, but these words are in the mouth of Qingyan who has never cared about him.
It's very contradictory. Shen Zitian hopes that she will say such things but does not want to say them...
He knew the purpose of her saying these words, and Qingyan was nothing more than worrying about what he would do to Shen Muchen after becoming emperor.
Since childhood, Chu Qingyan's thinking has been much more mature than girls of the same age, but all the mature performances are mainly due to the consideration of Shen Muchen.
This time she really thought too much...
He didn't want to let her down. He had been using her as a child since he was a child, and his hope of not seeing her was dashed.
"Okay..." Shen Muchen thought for a long time and finally only had one word leaked.
In Zhu Xing Palace, Shen Zitian promised that Chu Qingyan would approve part of it and hand it over to Shen Muchen. In order to make her feel at ease, Shen Zitian even promised that Shen Muchen would get a chance to avoid death if he committed anything within the next three years.
Before leaving, Shen Zitian turned around and comforted with a wry smile on his face, "Don't worry, I won't treat him badly as my brother."
Looking at Shen Zitian's lonely back when he left, Chu Qingyan felt a little guilty. She understood Zitian's thoughts in her heart, but she used his love for her to achieve her goal... Thinking of this, Qingyan's tears were about to fall.
Suddenly, Chu Qingyan raised her head and wiped away the tears and showed a firm and terrifying look. "Chu Qingyan, you can't be soft-hearted with your whole family's life."
Half an hour later, Bai Yi rushed back from outside in a hurry, and his neckline was soaked with sweat.
"Bai Yi, what happened to you? When can you make you so hurry?"
Chu Qingyan was sitting by the coffee table drinking tea. As soon as she put down the cup, she saw Bai Yi's embarrassed look.
Bai Qi told Chu Qingyan that his highness had given winter clothes to the temple to a large bag of clothes. The clothes were all men's clothes, but the workmanship was not so delicate. However, his highness specially ordered the palace maids of the needles to make several beautiful sets of women's clothes with fine workmanship and mixed them among the clothes and planned to send them out to the people in the temple.
"The nun in the temple?" Chu Qingyan became less and less likely to hear it. "What is your highness giving nun clothes?"
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he raised a purse from his waist. "Take this purse to the eunuch of Tsinghua Palace to keep paying attention to your highness's recent movements. I'll notify me immediately if there is any abnormality in your highness."
………
Before night time, Shen Muchen changed into a civilian outfit and walked to the palace gate.
He approached the palace gate and lowered his head and flipped up his big hat, covered his face and showed his identity card to the guards beside the door, and then quickly walked out of the palace gate.
Just twenty steps away, Chu Qingyan, wearing a cloak, followed Shen Muchen and quietly left the palace gate.
It was already evening when the market was extremely deserted, and the whole street was hanging outside the house with a few weak oil lamps illuminating the road.
Where is Shen Muchen going to go when he is so savage outside?
One hour ago in Zhuxing Palace.
As the wooden door creaked, Bai La pushed the door into the house.
"County lord, the eunuch said that His Highness Chen was changing clothes and preparing to leave the palace gate. He was about to leave in less than half an hour."
"Now?" Qingyan widened his eyes and looked out the window. It was already completely dark at this time.
Where else will Shen Muchen go at this time...
Suddenly, two sons from the temple appeared in her head, "It's too late. Bai La, please change my clothes!"
………
Shin Muchen walked very quickly. When he reached a tic-toe intersection, Shin Muchen seemed to have seen something. He suddenly crawled into the alley on the left, and there was no one in a blink of an eye.
Chu Qingyan was about to follow up to check the situation, but her head suddenly became clear. In the blink of an eye, Qingyan quickly stepped back and hid in another alley behind her. She leaned against the cold alley wall to calm her mind.
The sudden movements of the two men restored the deadly silence on the path.
It is a very wise choice to not keep up with Qingyan.
Sure enough, in the darkness in the alley ahead, Shen Muchen looked out cautiously, and when he confirmed that there was no one following him, he walked out of his whole body, standing in the middle of the intersection, he checked around again.
"It's strange..." He left a sentence before continuing to walk forward.
Seeing Shen Muchen continue to move forward, Chu Qingyan slowly walked out of the alley and continued to follow. If she continued to move forward just now, she would definitely not be able to escape with Shen Muchen's skills, and then it would destroy his original plan tonight.
It is small if the plan is broken, but if it causes Shen Muchen to doubt his identity, it will be big if the whole family is implicated.
The two continued walking forward one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of a small temple.
This temple is slightly hidden, and the overall temple is surrounded by green vegetation and looks extremely fresh.
The door was open, and Shen Muchen walked in quietly. Chu Qingyan stood at the door and looked at the plaque of the temple, with three words "Qingguan Temple" written on it. Qingguan Temple, Chu Qingyan stood at the door staring at this familiar name. It seemed that he had heard of this name but couldn't remember it...
There was a broom and a pile of freshly swept dead leaves on the ground in the temple, but no one was there.
There was a huge tree in the temple courtyard, and the window under the tree was bright. Curious, Qingyan walked away.
The light comes from a station oil lamp. The oil lamp is placed in a small house. There is only one bed and two rows of bookshelf neatly filled with books. The window is open and the wind blows in, and the candlelight sways with the wind. In this dazzling candlelight, a girl can even sit on the bed and look at the book with her back against the windowsill.
"Late?" Mu Chen's voice came from the window.
Hearing Mu Chen's voice, Qingyan hid, she found a place where she could hide herself and see their shadows and hear their voices.
Hearing the sound, Li Wanli raised his head suddenly, "Who!" Hearing this strange sound, Wanli turned his head instinctively.
After all, they only contacted once.
"Shen Muchen" he replied.
"Shen Muchen... . " Wan Wei closed the book and thought of the name. After a while, she jumped off the bed in surprise, put down the book, and pressed it against the triangle area between the two walls. Then she looked for the direction of the sound and faced Muchen, "I remembered that day, you almost... " She said without further ado, "I'm sorry... How is your injury?"
"Thanks to your care that night, it's fine." He replied.
