"Tell me the truth, have you fallen in love with the guy named Wei Hong next to Song Lianzhou?"
If there was still some hesitation yesterday, today, Shen Zhixi has completely understood.
When Song Lianzhou came to the mountains, Wei Hongding also came with him. That's why Yuanyang made the excuse of going to pick flowers, but in fact he was looking for Wei Hong, but he returned disappointed in the end. He didn't know whether he didn't see anyone or because Wei Hong ignored him. she.
"……I."
Yuanyang lowered his head, frowned and hesitated to answer.
"No way, the friendship between you and me that we grew up together is not worth the few days you spent with him, and you actually hid it from me?"
"No, miss." Yuanyang raised his head suddenly and grabbed Shen Zhixi's hand, "I don't want to hide it from you, I just don't know how to say it."
Shen Zhixi patted the back of her hand with his backhand, smoothed the broken hair on her forehead, and said: "I'm joking with you, don't be nervous. I just don't want you to suffer yourself, I want to help you, you You can tell me anything, I can’t decide for you, but I can give you advice.”
"Miss……"
"I know you must be thinking that if I don't end up with Song Lianzhou, and if you get entangled with Song Lianzhou's guards, that will be a kind of betrayal to me, right?"
Yuanyang sighed and lowered his head again, thought for a while and then continued: "Actually, it's not all because of this. Even if I am really interested in him, what about him? Can he like me? Besides, I don't know. Does this mean I like him? I just... I keep thinking about him these days. I think about him when I'm eating, when I'm walking, when I'm in a daze, and when I'm sleeping. I often tell myself not to think about it. It just happens that you think about it even more at this time.”
"Miss." Yuanyang lowered his head, looking like he was about to cry, "Do you like me like this?"
Why not?
Shen Zhixi gently retracted his hand and turned sideways.
Yuanyang's words made her almost want to cry.
Those feelings she talks about…
"Yuanyang, if he also has feelings for you, I won't stop you."
"But Miss, you said, you said..."
"I said all men in the world are not good things? If you really believe me, how could you fall in love with him? Some things can only be understood if you have experienced them yourself. You have to taste them whether they are bitter or sweet. Of course I I don’t want you to suffer, but just in case... In fact, Fang Rou is right. There are extremely vicious bad people in this world, but it doesn’t mean that everyone is a bad person who will do evil. I... I don’t dare, because I have experienced some unpleasant things. Okay so no courage, you are different.”
Having said this, Shen Zhixi turned back to look at the closed door of the main room.
"Before, I was paranoid that no man in the world could be trusted, but there were some things that even I couldn't explain myself. For example, I hated men so much, but if I gave birth to a boy, then I should too Do I hate him? When he grows up in the future, will I have to stop men from marrying because they will let women down? Or should I choose to believe him, but wouldn’t I be contradicting myself in this case? Especially..."
Especially what happened after seeing Song Lianzhou again.
He would rather be ridiculed than ask for a marriage. The rouge shop he had promised to buy and the whole house of white lily-of-the-valley flowers were actually breaking down the high wall of rejection in her heart little by little. .
But she was still afraid.
Maybe the root cause still lies with Xie Muyun, so she must settle things with Xie Muyun.
"So Yuanyang, don't worry about me here. I won't tie you up just because of myself. As long as it's your sincere choice, even if you want to stay here in the end, I won't force you."
"No." Yuanyang hugged Shen Zhixi's arm and said firmly: "I will be wherever the lady is. If the lady wants to return to Yanzhou, I will definitely go back to Yanzhou with you. I will not be separated from the lady. .”
"You said this, let me see if you can do it."
Shen Zhixi poked her forehead gently and couldn't help laughing.
Soon, the afterglow of the setting sun also dispersed into the mountains and sea.
Shen Zhixi came into the house several times and saw that both Song Lianzhou and Wan Ying were still sleeping deeply.
She went out and closed the door. When she turned around, she suddenly saw Qi Yuan's ghost floating over out of nowhere, which startled her.
He touched his nose and pretended to be sophisticated.
"I thought about what happened in the afternoon over and over again. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I really want to know the emperor's secret right away. I can't wait any longer."
"What do you mean?"
Shen Zhixi raised his eyebrows and passed by Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan also followed and said: "Tonight, I will enter the palace."
After hearing this, Shen Zhixi turned back and looked at him again.
"I think you'd better plan carefully before going."
"Don't worry, if things get bad, I'll just run away."
"That's the palace after all. If you don't run away and trouble me again..."
"You underestimate me too much. I have rushed out of the dragnet that assassinated King Hui. Forget it, just wait, wait until I come back safely to show you. And even if there is an accident, I will not Give yours."
Shen Zhixi stopped, turned around and asked, "Then when are you going to go?"
"Of course it's not late at night. It's the quietest time, but it's the easiest time to create noise and alert others. In the afternoon, I sent someone to get a map of the palace city, and I'll go there a little later."
"Okay." Shen Zhixi nodded, sighed and said, "As long as you know what's going on."
Qi Yuan said "Yeah", and when Shen Zhixi turned around again, he had disappeared.
If he could successfully enter the palace and see Princess Zhaoheng, he should be able to understand what she meant by asking him to check out Concubine Yu. It's a pity that Concubine Yu left yesterday and didn't get to see her for the last time.
After dinner, Yuanyang prepared hot water for Shen Zhixi to bathe.
The water temperature was just right. Shen Zhixi took off his clothes and got into the tub.
She leaned against the bathtub, thinking about whether Qi Yuan's career would go smoothly. While she was deep in thought, the window on the left suddenly creaked and moved. Before she had time to look back, she had already thought of Song Lianzhou and felt that maybe It's him.
Last time, he suddenly broke into her bathroom like this.
It was only after looking back that I realized that I had overthought it. The window was not closed tightly in the first place. The wind was a bit strong tonight, so the window was only blown by the wind.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and before she could look back, someone's voice sounded behind her.
"What are you looking at?"
She opened her eyes wide in shock and looked back, who could it be if it wasn't Song Lianzhou.
"You..." She subconsciously sat down and hugged herself. Fortunately, the bathtub was filled with flower petals, so it was hard to see anything. "Song Lianzhou, why are you..."
"I won't do anything to you." Song Lianzhou said.
He just walked closer and stopped behind her.
"I just had a dream."
