After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

  Chapter 269 Ruby

  In short, in the end, Shen Mingjiao went to the library, the tallest building in the mansion, when it was almost midnight.

  Standing at the bottom of the five-storey building, Shen Mingjiao suddenly thought of the hasty meteor shower she and Feng Lisheng watched before.

  At that time, Feng Lisheng led her with lightness exercises, but this time she climbed up the library alone.

   Mainly because of this kind of thing, even in front of a few maids, she always felt a little embarrassed. Therefore, Haitang and the others were ordered by her to stay not far away.

  Climb to the top of the building, at the same moment, the bell of Zishi rang, heralding the arrival of the new year.

  The next moment, bursts of fireworks sounded. Most of them came from the gate of the city.

  Shen Mingjiao raised her head, and a bunch of white fireworks exploded clearly in front of her eyes. According to Feng Lisheng's character, naturally he couldn't come up with any romantic tricks.

  In the dark sky, only the words "Happy New Year" are displayed squarely.

   These are just four words of polite blessing to many people.

   But she knew that Feng Lisheng must have said this from the heart.

  He leaned against the railing on the top floor, looking up at the dark sky.

  Although she was the only one around, she didn't feel lonely at all.

  …

   Perhaps something was on his mind, even though he went to bed very late the night before, he woke up early the next day for an unprecedented time.

  Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the rules, Feng Lisheng should have brought her into the palace to meet the emperor and empress.

   But firstly Feng Lisheng was not there, and secondly, Jing and Di didn't pay much attention to these things, so someone sent word in advance that it would not be too late for her to wait for Yuanxiao to enter the palace.

  After Shen Mingjiao washed, she went to the small study before finishing her meal.

  Grinding the ink, spreading out the rice paper, intending to write a letter to Feng Lisheng about what happened yesterday, especially the father-in-law who was infected by the Heart-eating Gu.

  After finishing what should be written, I looked at the several pages of paper, paused, and finally picked up the pen again, pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a very bad poem

  —The flowers on Moshang are blooming, and they can return slowly.

Um. Compared with someone's "everything is fine, don't read it", it instantly feels more literary and artistic.

  …

  Handing the letter to Tie Zhu, she had eaten her meal and was bored doing it for a while.

  I wanted to go out for a stroll in the garden, but it was too cold, and she didn't want to move.

   Asking someone to move the books she read recently to the yard, Shen Mingjiao picked up one at random, and it turned out to be the books on healing heart disease that Divine Doctor Wen had given him earlier.

  Perhaps it was because she was really bored some time ago, and at first she only used idle books to pass the time. It may be because she can hypnotize. After watching, she really became interested. He even wanted to pull the people around him to do experiments.

  But it seems that these people in the mansion are quite healthy. Except that Shi Jiu.

It is said that Shi Jiu was once a secret guard trained by a certain rich family, but it was obviously not a serious family. Due to the cruel methods, although Shi Jiu survived, his temper became distorted and gloomy, and he liked to torture the enemy bit by bit to death .

  Usually responsible for helping Feng Li Sheng deal with some shady privacy,

  Shen Mingjiao has a friendly attitude. When everyone in the palace was doing morning exercises, they called people to the front.

  She did not use hypnosis, but only asked him some questions according to the book.

  Shi Jiu just lowered his eyes, his handsome face was still cold, and he looked gloomy.

  Different from the friendly and respectful attitude of the guards in the palace towards her, the only master Shi Jiu recognized in his heart was Feng Lisheng, and the rest, including Shen Mingjiao, had nothing to do with him.

  Shen Mingjiao sighed secretly, he knew it without reading a book. Shi Jiu's situation is very serious.

  Based on her half-baked level of reading the book for a few days, it is obviously impossible to help the other party heal. Unless hypnosis is used to erase his memory.

   It’s just that the book given to her by Miracle Doctor Wen said that unless it is life-threatening, it is not recommended to use hypnosis to erase people’s memory.

  Because people who have lost their memory can start over, but in a sense they have lost themselves.

  Withdrawing her thoughts, she lowered her head to read the book, and the one she opened at this time was written about "Inferiority".

  —Inferiority is a very common psychological state, which is manifested as timid eyes, habitual flattery, extreme sensitivity, lack of communication, emotional...

  Everything has its two sides, mild inferiority complex may stimulate a person's motivation to work hard. And extreme low self-esteem can lead to depression, even suicide...

  The following is a real case recorded by Doctor Wen. It probably means that a lame man was not welcomed since he was a child, and he finally married a wife. After two years, the daughter-in-law ran away with someone.

  Normal people will probably report this kind of thing to the officials, or ask the woman's natal family for an explanation. The man chose to commit suicide, thinking that he was incapable, so his wife ran away with others.

  At the end, there are a lot of annotations. To sum it up, people are sometimes very strong, but sometimes they are also very fragile.

  Shen Mingjiao turned to the next page without much interest, feeling a little disapproving in her heart. In her opinion, such people are rare.

  Besides, she feels that inferiority complex is due to the fact that life is too leisurely to panic! If you stay in the troubled times of the past, thinking about how to survive all day long, starving to death if you don’t do anything, and working hard all day long, there is no time for inferiority and depression!

   Haitang made her a cup of tea, and she picked it up and took a sip.

   At this moment, Feng Shuo and Cui Lingling came over. Because Cui Lingling was there, Qin Yan was able to come to Shen Mingjiao's yard.

  Qin Yan said to Shen Mingjiao: "I want to take Shuo'er to meet my mother."

  Shen Mingjiao nodded: "It should be, that's Shuo'er's real grandmother, but now that the enemy is hiding in the dark, you should be more careful."

  She glanced at Feng Shuo's right arm meaningfully: "Also, don't think about doing stupid things that risk your life."

  Qin Yan smiled: "If the princess is worried, let Lingling follow her. She is so powerful that she can protect us even if something happens."

   What you said is called a righteous one. It seems to be a very honorable thing to be protected by a daughter-in-law.

   Cui Lingling snorted, but did not refuse.

  At this moment, Tie Zhu hurried in:

   "Princess, the identity of the father-in-law was found out yesterday."

  Shen Mingjiao signaled Haitang to bring a chair.

   Tie Zhu thanked him and sat down, and said slowly: "The father-in-law is surnamed Luo, and he is a small steward of the flower and bird house in the palace. He is neither bad nor bad, and he is quite serious in his work."

  Shen Mingjiao asked: "When did he enter the palace, and who else is there in the family?"

   "It was the palace that Jinghe entered in the first year. When a flood broke out in the south, his parents and relatives all died on the way to escape. He was desperate, so he entered the palace as a servant."

  Shen Mingjiao lowered her eyes, Jing and the first year, fifteen years have passed since now.

  She shook her head secretly, and also felt that her fleeting guess just now was quite absurd. How old was that man fifteen years ago...

   "However, after questioning several eunuchs who were close to him, one said that Eunuch Luo had briefly mentioned that he had a younger sister. And we found a picture of a baby elephant in his house."

   After finishing speaking, she took out a brown paper package from her arms. Open it, and pull out a piece of rice paper that has been worn and crumpled from inside.

  Shen Mingjiao glanced at it, and found a seven or eight-year-old girl painted on it. Because of my limited drawing skills, I can barely imagine that this is a pretty little girl, the only thing that is well drawn is a pair of almond eyes.

  Cui Lingling shook her head: "The so-called Eighteen Changes of the Women's University, more than ten years have passed, and with this unclear picture, trying to find someone is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."

  And now that Eunuch Luo is dead, there are only two possibilities for his sister, one is that she has wandered somewhere, or she is no longer alive. The second is that the person behind it threatened her with his sister's life.

  Several people sighed secretly, feeling that the New Year's day has been spent for so long.

   At this time, Yun Shu came over with a flowery figure, but after looking at the people in the room, she stood at the door eating and galloping and didn't come in.

  Anyway, all that should be said has been said. Shen Mingjiao waved at her!

   "What a beautiful flower pattern you drew again!"

   This girl Yunshu is absolutely capable of decathlon. Not only can she compose poetry, but she is also proficient in playing, playing, playing and singing. She also draws flowers very spiritually, and she has a beautiful face.

  Since Yun Shu lived in the palace, many people have been interested in her. It's a pity that Yun Shu never seemed to have such thoughts.

  Yunshu stepped forward: "Last time, the princess said she wanted to embroider red plums on the cape. Can the princess see if it's okay?"

  While passing by the iron pillar, she caught a glimpse of the little elephant on the stone table, she couldn't help but gasped, stopped, and listened carefully to the little girl's almond eyes in the painting.

  Seeing this, Shen Mingjiao relaxed, and asked, "Do you know this little girl?"

  Yunshu sighed in a somewhat complicated manner: "Although there is a big age difference, I should not admit my mistake. Her name is Hongyu, of course it's just the name given by the bustard in the building.

   You should have heard of Yangzhou skinny horse? That is, there are many little girls with excellent looks and qualifications obtained by special personnel from various channels. Some small merchants or families with some spare money will spend money to buy one or two back and take them back as righteous daughters. To lure a man, when he is old, he can give it to a nobleman for friendship. Or sell people to those big flower houses,

   And Hongyu is one of them. The reason why I am impressed is because this girl always wants to escape. "

  She sighed: "Like this kind of gray area, its shady and insidious means can never be imagined by ordinary people. So some abducted girls thought of running away at first, and they became honest after being dealt with a few times.

   But Hongyu is the most persistent among them. After several years in a row and being beaten countless times, she still wants to escape. The family who bought her couldn't, so they temporarily sent her to the flower building where I was at that time, and the old bustard helped to train her.

  Because I helped her, I know her fairly well. I asked her why she ran away so persistently, and she said that she had an older brother who must be looking for her too.

   Within six months, she was sold to Jingzhou by her adoptive parents. "

   Yun Shu sighed again: "I was moved by her stubbornness at the time, and wanted to let her go quietly. But she hesitated for a long time and still refused. I knew she didn't want to hurt me.

  She is a very nice girl, if it is convenient, please ask the princess to save her. "

  Hai Tang listened with a look of sorrow, but Shen Mingjiao was sympathetic but grasped the point sensitively: "You said she was sold to Jingzhou, do you know who she was sold to?"

  Same as Feng Lisheng, she will never forget the bloodshot eyes when King Yu forced the palace in her previous life.

   And Jingzhou happened to be the fiefdom of King Yu.

   "I heard that she was sold to a high-ranking official in Jingzhou as a concubine, but the details are not clear."

   After finishing speaking, she picked up a pen and ink, took a piece of rice paper, and started to draw. Not long after, a beautiful and delicate woman appeared happily on the paper.

  Shen Mingjiao handed the paper to Tie Zhu: "Your Highness should have someone in Jingzhou, send this painting over and let them find this girl."

   Tie Zhu bowed respectfully and retreated.

  …

  Shen Mingjiao planned to go to the library to find some books to read, so she went to the front yard with Qin Yan and others.

   When turning around the vertical flower gate, Grandpa Hua happened to be walking this way.

  Shen Mingjiao called out to the old woman, and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

  Hua Mansion stopped: "The servant is going to the backyard to find you, is the princess going out?"

  Shen Mingjiao waved her hand: "This is a New Year's Eve, what kind of door do you have!

  By the way, Laohua, what are you looking for from me! "

  It's really cold this day, Eunuch Hua clasped his hands together:

   "Princess, didn't you ask me to put some people in Ningyuan Hou's mansion so that I can pay attention to Miss Gu's movements?"

  Shen Mingjiao nodded, because she vaguely remembered that something happened to Gu Danxue in her previous life, but she couldn't remember the specifics. As a friend, just in case, she asked Mr. Hua to put some people in the Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

  She asked with some concern: "Did something happen to Danxue?"

  Eunuch Hua nodded: "The slave just received a report saying that Miss Gu eloped with a man last night and was caught by Lord Gu and brought back. At this time, the Ningyuan Hou Mansion is in chaos."

  Shen Mingjiao frowned. With Gu Danxue's personality, she could do such a disgraceful thing as eloping.

   After all, nowadays they are hired as wives and Ben as concubines. Elopement, no matter where the chaos comes from, as a woman, she is a head shorter.

  Feng Shuo, who had been silent all this time, interrupted:

   "His Majesty intends to marry Ning Yuanhou's daughter to the crown prince."
