"Your Highness, you are not paying attention." Shen Moran put away the black stones surrounded by white stones on the chessboard and said with a smile, "I am going to win."
Zhou Zhan came to his senses. The chess pieces were criss-crossed on the chessboard, and the black piece was forced to a dead end. He was just killing time. He dropped the chess pieces and stared at the scenery outside the pavilion in a daze.
"Would it be unfair to Fifth Brother if we do this? After all, he has never done anything sorry to me."
Shen Moran sneered in his heart, Zhou Yu was successful in his previous life because he was dead.
The people who were loyal to him now had been defeated one by one by her and Zhou Yu in their previous lives. For those who were stubborn and refused to be loyal to them, she still remembered the methods Zhou Yu used to invite them over.
If money, power, and women still can't impress you, then you'll set up a trap to tarnish the other person's reputation and do whatever you can to.
Zhou Zhan is still too pure and kind.
"Knowing people but not their hearts, do you know what Zhou Yu did in order to marry the prime minister?"
In her previous life, she was blinded by lard and couldn't understand. Once she was reborn, many of her suspicions could be confirmed. When she was sent out of Beijing, the robbers she encountered were indeed brought by Aunt Shen, but in the world There are no walls that are airtight.
It contains Zhou Yu's handwriting.
No wonder he didn't mind what happened to her in his previous life, and took great care of her, letting her surrender her body and mind, but then he abandoned her ruthlessly.
It turns out that everything was his plan. He could have many women and re-canonize the princess. If she were not useful enough, she would never be able to ascend to the position of queen!
She wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood, making Zhou Yu's life worse than death!
The fingers holding the chess pieces turned white, and the sinister desire deep in her heart was awakened, making Shen Moran's face look very ugly.
"I have lost my composure."
Shen Moran quickly adjusted her mood and put the chess pieces back into place. She was still sitting quietly and calmly, but Zhou Zhan felt as if he was far away from her.
He reached out to hold her hand playing with the chess pieces and said softly: "We are husband and wife, you can tell me what's on your mind."
Shen Moran raised her eyes and looked at him, and said with a chuckle: "I am inseparable from His Highness, what can I have on my mind... I don't care about the past, and His Highness doesn't need to care either."
Zhou Zhan looked at her intently, she smiled very gently, her eyes reflected the warm autumn sun, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
The originally passionate soul was sealed in the kneaded clay sculpture, and everything was fine except for the innocence and liveliness.
He wanted to ask if there was something he didn't do well enough, but in the past, she... the words rushed to his throat but stuck there.
"The wind has picked up. Your Highness is feeling better. Let's go back."
Shen Moran played the role of a good wife conscientiously, but when she returned to the room... she had another look.
"I am tired today. Your Highness, please go to the study and sleep by yourself tonight."
Because she had no children in her previous life, she paid special attention to it and took medicine to take care of her body. The imperial doctor said that she was too young now and it was not recommended to have children prematurely. She was also afraid of the impact of having too many couples, so she often used Zhou Zhan slept in a separate room with him in the name of being sick.
Zhou Zhan has been away from home for a long time because of his "serious illness", and of course he is not willing to leave easily.
"I am too sick to move."
He sat upright on the bed, squinting his eyes and smiling like a fox. Shen Moran snorted and cursed: "Not serious... If others find out, I'll see how you can maintain the image of a humble young master!" "
"Will the princess tell others?" Zhou Zhan grabbed her over and tried to seduce her with her beauty. He found that she seemed to like his face, "The princess will stop saying that later!"
"What do you want to do in broad daylight?"
There was a muffled groan in the cooing voice.
"I am tired, the princess will accompany me to take a nap..."
As night fell, gray clouds covered the moonlight, and there was a strong chill in the autumn wind. Si Yiluo, who had been in the cell for a day, walked out of the prison and was blown away by the cold wind, which made him sober.
After staying in the dungeon for a long time, her body also smelled rancid. After returning to the check-in room, she took some clothes and went to the bathroom specially prepared for her to take a bath next door.
The subordinates are all men, and the things prepared are rough. There is only a bathtub in the bathroom. There is no scented lotion or flower petals, only soap balls made of honey locust, which can be used for washing hair and clothes.
She is not used to using those things either.
Si Yiluo's shoulders were buried under the water. After soaking for a while, fatigue came over him. He tilted his head and leaned on the tub and fell asleep.
I vaguely heard the sound of the door opening. The person came with very light steps. He approached the tub and reached out to poke at the water.
Si Yiluo opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him clearly, and suddenly disappeared as he was so sleepy.
"Why is the Governor here?"
Wei Heyan leaned on the tub, looked at her with beautiful eyes, and chuckled: "What are you talking about, Master Si? I haven't left since last night..."
He coughed lightly and explained, "I don't know why, but Sir Si's bed is more comfortable than the bed in the Governor's Mansion. When the Governor woke up, it was already dark."
"The keys to the imperial city and the palace gates have been lost. The governor has no home, so he can only stay with Master Si for one more night..."
He is in a good mood.
Si Yiluo concluded that except in front of Emperor Yao, when had he ever talked so much!
"Please, Lord Governor, please go out first and allow me to put on my clothes."
Wei Heyan did not move.
Si Yiluo wiped the water drops from his face and raised his eyes to look at him.
There seemed to be lust in his eyes. Si Yiluo lowered his head and glanced. There was no cover on the water, and she was basically seen.
"Lord Governor, there is a difference between men and women."
Wei Heyan withdrew his gaze and let out a light chuckle.
"What kind of woman have I never seen before? Even the ladies in the palace don't shy away from me. What can Sir Si avoid?"
Si Yiluo's eyes were suspicious. Facing her too straightforward gaze, Wei Heyan was defeated for the first time and turned around and walked out.
The more special you are to a person, the more addictive you will be. In Wei Heyan's opinion, the girl's watery eyes are like poison, sweet but can kill people.
Si Yiluo breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped off the water drops on his body, put on his clothes, and spread his wet hair behind his head.
Wei Heyan was waiting for her in her room.
"No matter what Mr. Si finds out in the trial, the emperor wants to put the matter to rest."
Wei Heyan's back was turned to her. Si Yiluo breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little cautious. No matter how strong she was inside, she always wanted to shrink back when facing him.
"I understand."
"Has the ghost boss been found?"
After a brief silence, the girl replied: "I am incompetent, not yet."
The official business was finished in a few simple words. Wei Heyan had no reason to stay, but he didn't want to leave, fearing that she would see his thoughts, so he turned his back to her and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The autumn wind carries the fishy smell of water, and there will definitely be a rain tonight.
When he didn't leave, Si Yiluo kept standing quietly at a suitable position behind him, just like the situation when she got along with him in her previous life.
This scene is inappropriate but also reveals a certain tacit understanding.
Si Yiluo's move made Wei Heyan sigh in his heart. If she was interested in her, she would ask to keep him. If she was not interested in him, in the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone in the same room, shouldn't she kick him out?
What does this silence mean?
Wei Heyan's mind flashed through the plot of the harem empress competing for favor. He had no choice but to deal with women. He had zero experience in dealing with women. He had reflected many times that he had feelings for Si Yiluo.
