(Additional update)

Liu Yue and his party were placed in a wing at the back of the government office. Liu Yue and Ling'an shared a room, and Shen Qingyan and the twins shared a room. Although Zeng Xin did not explicitly imprison them and even treated them with extra courtesy, the room next to them was occupied by Zeng. The people they brought were found to be guarded by a group of soldiers outside the courtyard gate, and they could not get out.

Zeng Xian also asked someone to find a new set of clothes for Shen Ling'an to change into. Liu Yue gently coaxed her to sleep, but she couldn't sleep. She looked at Shen Ling'an's red and swollen eyes, the tears on her face that had not been wiped away, and her chest was tight. I was so powerful that I put on a coat and went out for a walk.

The courtyard of the government office is a large martial arts field. There is a drum next to it. The weapons have been put away. There is only a bare shelf on the field. There are a few broken poles thrown next to the shelf. They may be damaged ones that were used during martial arts practice. It was a good product, with dried brown blood stains on it.

When Liu Yue saw the blood, she remembered what happened before, and a feeling of nausea came over her, making Liu Yue want to vomit.

Someone next to her handed her a cup of tea. Liu Yue hurriedly took the cup and poured water into her stomach. Her condition improved a little. She turned around and was about to say thank you when she realized that the person standing behind her was Shen Qingyan.

Obviously her mind was in chaos at the time, but Liu Yue remembered the boy's thick embrace very clearly, and the itching feeling of his breath on her ear when he leaned in to comfort her. Later, her mood stabilized, and Shen Qingyan He didn't hug her again, but he kept holding her hand until she was about to go back to her room to rest.

Liu Yue blushed a little, and her boredom was mostly eliminated by this belated shyness.

Shen Qingyan didn't speak, he just stared straight at her, his gaze so deep that Liu Yue felt like she would sink in, and the atmosphere was a bit charming.

Liu Yue broke the strange feeling of charm with a voice: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shen Qingyan usually talks very little and mostly works in silence, but at this time he spoke without hesitation: "I'm worried about you."

Liu Yue was caught off guard by the direct hit. She turned her head away and took a moment to catch her breath. Then she turned to Shen Qingyan and said, "I'm fine. The top priority is how to get out of this incident."

Although Liu Yue's murder can be said to be self-protection, after all, Wang Yuanwai has not caused any substantial harm to them. In modern times, Liu Yue's behavior is considered excessive defense, and he may have to pay for a period of public life. Ancient laws are not so rigorous. , the degree of culpability is mostly determined by officials.

Zeng Xian is a sensible person, and Liu Yue encountered disaster because he saved his daughter, so he would pick it up high and put it down gently.

But Liu Yue didn't want to place all her hopes on Zeng Xian, so she had to add a few more amulets to herself.

Shen Qingyan was silent for a moment, then took out the cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Liu Yue: "Is this okay?"

Liu Yue opened the cloth bag and took a look, and found that it contained the jade pendant left by Fu Ruyi. Fu Ruyi happened suddenly and left in a hurry, taking almost nothing with him. He only had a few pieces of jewelry. She broke it into pieces and pawned it off. The only thing she could use to prove her identity was this jade pendant given by the late emperor.

The book doesn't spend much time describing Fu Ruyi, and Liu Yue doesn't know the truth behind Fu Ruyi's escape. Maybe the author dug a hole and forgot to fill it.

But Liu Yue knew that Fu Ruyi was extremely unwilling for Shen Qingyan and the others to recognize their ancestors. He did not destroy a piece of jade pendant, but he was afraid that his children would have nothing to rely on after her death, so he left a way out for them.

Shen Qingyan also followed his mother's last words and kept the jade pendant until Shen Jingcheng was imprisoned and had no way to appeal, so he took out the jade pendant.

Liu Yue rubbed the jade pendant, feeling a little touched that Shen Qingyan did not hesitate to take out the jade pendant to save her.

Shen Qingyan actually vaguely guessed that his mother's identity was not simple after seeing the dragon pattern on the jade pendant. After all, the four-clawed dragon pattern could only be used by royal family members.

Although my mother hardly goes out because of her poor health, her demeanor is completely different from that of the villagers in Yuhe Village. When her father went to the city to teach, she was the one who came to supervise their homework and even taught them how to practice martial arts. For a while, she looked good and even asked her father to buy He got a bow and taught them archery.

It's a pity that his mother died early, and Shen Qingyan was busy supporting the family and taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, so his martial arts skills fell behind.

Shen Qingyan clenched his fists and decided to pick up his fallen martial arts skills again.

Liu Yue rubbed the jade pendant that felt warm to the touch and handed it back: "Put this away, now is not the time."

The jade pendant is the trigger for the death of the current emperor and the rise of the male protagonist. Liu Yue cannot take it out until Liu Yue has enough strength to challenge him.

Besides, this matter was not serious enough to require taking out this jade pendant. She had already figured out how to get out.

Shen Qingyan didn't ask why, but silently put the jade pendant away again, secretly regretting that he couldn't help.

Liu Yue saw that Shen Qingyan was in a bad mood and thought that he didn't believe that he could escape smoothly, so he jokingly said: "Don't forget that I am a fairy. I can't even handle such a trivial matter. How can I have the face to hang out in the fairy world?" .”

Then he explained his arrangements.

After Shen Qingyan learned about Liu Yue's arrangement, he was mostly relieved, but when he thought that he had not helped in this matter and was comforted by Liu Yue in turn, he felt a little depressed.

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

He still wanted to do his best to help her, after all, everything she was going through now was for the four of them.

Liu Yue thought for a while, then suddenly took Shen Qingyan's hand and pulled him to sit on the floor.

"Shen Qingyan, please say something, I want to hear what you have to say."

Liu Yue had long ago felt that Shen Qingyan's voice could calm her mind.

Shen Qingyan sat next to Liu Yue and held the cold hand: "How about I read a poem to you?"

Liu Yue nodded: "Okay."

Shen Qingyan's voice is very moving, like the melodious music played by a guqin that is played perfectly by a luthier.

"The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of ​​clouds. The wind blows tens of thousands of miles across the Yumen Pass."

"The guest will not be here for a long time, and the good scenery is reserved for you. I am admiring it in the west tower, why ask for more information? Awakening the bright moon, it shines on me full of ice and snow, and the mighty rivers flow. The whale has not swallowed the sea, but the sword energy has already crossed the autumn."

"The flying mirror under the moon, the clouds forming the sea tower."

"The breeze invites the bright moon, and the magpies fall on the silver bridge. The lovesickness words on both sides of the strait are only silent."

Liu Yue originally proposed to let Shen Qingyan speak in order to distract him from his thoughts. Unexpectedly, hearing his calm voice reciting poems calmed his troubled heart and gradually made him feel sleepy.

Before I fell asleep, I was still thinking vaguely: "Why is it that every poem he recited has the word "month" in it?"

Shen Qingyan looked back and saw that Liu Yue had fallen asleep on his shoulder. The moonlight shone on her body, making her gentle and quiet.

Carefully pick her up horizontally, gently carry her back to the room, put her down, and tuck her into bed.

Shen Qingyan tucked the broken hair that fell on her face behind her ears and silently recited the last line of the poem.

"There is a bright moon on the bottom of the sea, and it is round in the sky. An inch of light can buy a thousand miles of spring."

As a bonus for Qiong Xia Baozi, I specially selected an emotional chapter.

The names of Liu Yue and Shen Qingyan are taken from the bright moon and clear wind. I originally planned to use the line "The breeze invites the bright moon" at the end of the poem, but I accidentally turned to Jia Dao's quatrains. The fit was too high, so I changed it to hhh

There are two more updates in the afternoon!
