At dinner that day, Shen Nan wanted to eat together, but Aunt Wang pushed her back, saying that the old lady was still ill and it was difficult to prepare the table.

And Shen Qingyun had just met there once, but he was never seen again.

From this look, you can tell her attitude, and she doesn't even want to pretend.

Shen Nan inquired and found out that Shen Qingyun was not an ordinary person supporting the Duke's Mansion alone, but she didn't push her too hard.

In addition, the food delivered from the big kitchen was really rich, so the whole family ate in the living room, but deep down they felt very uncomfortable with Shen Qingyun's attitude.

Mrs. Lu even complained several times: "How can an aunt come here and not show her face while eating?"

Of course Shen Nan felt uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.

Fang Haoran glared at her while eating: "Okay, my cousin is a lady, and she is naturally very thin-skinned. Can't you stuff your mouth with so many delicious meals? Come on, eat quickly, there are so many words. .”

Lu's eyes turned red when he was retorted by him. She forced herself to take several mouthfuls of rice before swallowing the bitterness in her heart.

This is because she saw that Shen Qingyun was beautiful and looked towards the cousin she had just met.

But soon, they no longer had the energy to argue.

Except Shen Nan, several people started to have diarrhea at the same time at night, and they didn't stop all night long.

The doctor came to take a look, touched his beard and said, "Young masters and ladies, you are not accustomed to the local environment. Madam, you may have grown up in Kyoto, so you don't have any reaction."

Shen Nan wanted to find out if it was a problem with the food, but nothing happened to her during the same meal. She could only believe that it was acclimatization and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine to solve the problem.

Fang Haoran's face turned pale. Because of such a torment, Shen Nan had no intention of looking for Shen Qingyun.

Shen Qingyun just sent a maid over to ask about the situation and pretended to comfort him a few times.

She knew it was Pearl who did this, and she verbally blamed him.

Pearl smiled and promised not to be a fan of anything anymore, and the matter was revealed secretly.

After another day passed and seeing that several people were getting better, Shen Nan asked the maid to go to Jianjia Courtyard early in the morning. Unexpectedly, Shen Qingyun went out early in the morning.

Ms. Lu was even more angry: "Mother-in-law, this cousin is too arrogant. It's obvious that she doesn't welcome us. She must be hiding from us on purpose."

Shen Nan also couldn't hold back her anger: "How can our young lady run out every day!"

When Mrs. Lu saw Shen Nan getting angry, the schadenfreude in her eyes became even more intense: "This is because there are no elders in the house to take care of it. Fortunately, mother-in-law, you are here, but you have to teach this cousin well, don't go outside and be misled. The person was deceived and his innocence was stained."

Shen Nan nodded, and with a serious look on his face, he told the maid of Duke Shen's Mansion: "When your eldest lady comes back, ask her to come to my place."

The little maid bowed and replied respectfully, but she felt extremely depressed inside.

How could I be so unlucky to be sent to the guest house to serve these idiots?

Shen Nan gave her instructions and had nothing to do, so she ran to Yansong Hall to fulfill her filial piety.

Here Shen Qingyun left the house and went directly to Tingfeng Pavilion.

Si Moli came down from the morning court and was already waiting there.

The maids retreated one after another, and sent people to guard the outside of the room to prevent anyone from getting close.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for quite some time. Si Moli was still wearing the same black robe, but he was still visibly haggard compared to the last time they met.

I think I have a lot of things to do recently, so it must be a lot of hard work.

Shen Qingyun sat down in front of him and looked at the strong tea brewing on the table, feeling a little bit distressed in her heart.

The two of them looked at each other in silence for a while, but Si Moli took the initiative and asked: "I heard that someone came to your house, did they cause you any trouble?"

Shen Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "It's okay, these people can't make any trouble, they can just let them go in a few days."

After a pause, she heard her own harsh voice: "It's hard to call you by your name now."

The light in Si Moli's eyes dimmed: "No, you can always call me by my name, and only you can."

Shen Qingyun's heart trembled.

As if to cover up her inner turmoil, she raised her hand and poured herself a cup of tea. The tea was dark yellow in color and not too hot. It had obviously been steeped for a while, and after one sip, it filled her mouth with a strong bitterness.

Obviously both of them probably have a lot to say, but at this moment, they don't know where to start.

When there is not enough strength to realize the promise, everything seems like a dream.

The ends of Si Moli's eyes were a little red.

He looked at Shen Qingyun's clothes and said softly: "I also know about Mrs. Han. Let Lian Feng go and take a look. Anyway, he is also making trouble to leave Kyoto."

Shen Qingyun pursed her lips: "What should we do about the Eighth Prince's leg injury?"

"The injury has been accumulated for a long time. Even if he wants to recover, it won't take a year and a half." Si Moli thought for a while and said directly: "It's not necessary. Let's see if he can recover after cultivating himself."

Although they didn't explain it to each other, they knew it in their hearts. They originally wanted to work hard to cure the eighth prince in order to train him so that he could inherit the throne. However, judging from his character, it was really difficult for him to take on such a big responsibility.

Shen Qingyun looked directly at Si Moli and twisted his eyes: "Mo Li, do you have something to ask me?"

Si Moli looked at her, and the smile was engraved in his eyes: "Yes."

"Qingyun, will you blame me?"

Blame me for not being able to fulfill my promise after all...

Blame me for not being able to give you the life you want...

It's my fault that we can't love you the way we want to...

After hearing his words, she still smiled, but her eyes were filled with tears, like the broken surface of a lake.

"How could that be possible?" She murmured in a low voice, the soreness in her chest seemed to be overflowing.

She knew he had tried his best.

The emperor probably won the fight in the end, but he didn't win because of his own methods, but because of Si Moli's character.

Shen Qingyun understands that neither he nor she can just watch Qian Qiguo being handed over to the wrong hands. Nowadays, foreign enemies are still eyeing him, so they cannot take it lightly.

He must be the emperor and maintain the stability of this country.

But as an emperor, there will be too many helplessness.

It was impossible for the palaces in the harem to be vacant, and she was unwilling to be trapped in them, let alone become a part of the intrigues and intrigues among the women in the palace one day.

Even if it is a high position that countless concubines dream of.

She had been trapped in her previous life, but in this life, she always wanted to see more scenery.

Shen Qingyun took another sip of tea, but there seemed to be no taste on the tip of her tongue.

Her voice was soft: "Speaking of the border, I actually want to visit it. Besides, I haven't seen my mother for a long time. She is sick, and I feel really uneasy."

Si Moli lowered his eyes, wanting to say that it was not peaceful there now, but finally swallowed his words.

The two of them sat and chatted casually, about the scenery from all over the world, the moments of random thoughts, and the bizarre dreams. When they talked about one thing, they thought of it together in a tacit understanding, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

The secret guard showed up overtly and covertly several times. Shen Qingyun understood clearly, stood up, and made an excuse at random: "Then I'll leave first."

Si Moli didn't stop her and watched her quietly as she left the room, then stood by the window and waited, watching her carriage gradually go away.

Qingyun, you know, whatever you want to do, I will always do my best to help you.
