The next day, when Shen Siyi woke up, the man in black was already gone.

He also took away the bloody sheets and cleaned the room.

Meditation means satisfaction.

"He knows what's going on."

It has been raining all night, and the sun is rising in the blue sky. In the garden of Qi Mansion, the autumn rain blows the trembling flowers off the branches and floats beside the small pond.

The flowers and leaves that were still on the branches were washed new by the rain, and the air was filled with a pleasant and comfortable smell.

The two girls walked into the garden side by side. Shen Siyi was wearing an orange dress and her eyes were bright and eye-catching. As soon as she appeared, the autumn scenery in the garden became even more decayed, but she was still filled with the feeling of spring.

Next to her, Qi Jingchun was handsome and quiet, with a subtle smile always on her fair face.

The two came to enjoy the flowers. After walking for a while, they got tired, so they sat in the pavilion and enjoyed tea and cakes.

Qi Jingchun said: "I was really frightened last night. Second sister was not frightened, was she? I heard that the bad guys haven't been caught yet. It's really scary. What did they come to the house for?"

Shen Siyi bit into the red bean cake and said without thinking, "Who knows, usually the eldest brother always brings people back to the house to discuss matters, maybe he will provoke someone."

In fact, Shen Siyi vaguely guessed that the other party's demeanor did not look like a little thief who came to steal things.

And there was a helper, which meant that he came prepared, probably looking for something.

Shen Siyi heard that the DPRK was cleaning up the corruption of some military generals. Although her sworn brother Qi was a civil servant in the DPRK, he had a very close relationship with several military generals, who often visited the Qi Mansion.

Maybe the Qi Mansion is really involved, and the other party is looking for evidence.

Qi Jingchun was very worried: "Second sister, I'm really afraid that the Qi family will be involved in the recent corruption investigation by the court, because..."

As she spoke, she looked around and lowered her voice: "When that time really comes, with my mother's character, she will definitely marry us to powerful people immediately to consolidate the position of Qi Mansion."

Mrs. Qi is really too anxious and very powerful.

When she saw Shen Siyi's beauty, she wanted to marry her to an old and beautiful lady and make her the concubine of the eighteenth house.

Because Qi Jingchun was born with ordinary looks, Mrs. Qi wanted to train her to be a prostitute for others.

In short, as long as the position is high, Mrs. Qi will not consider other factors, but can't wait to use her two daughters to consolidate the power of Qi Mansion.

Shen Siyi comforted her: "Don't be afraid. When the moment comes, I will take you away. The world is so big and I know everything. Is there no room for the two of us?"

"Leave?" Qi Jingchun's eyes were confused: "Can we really make it without leaving Qi Mansion?"

"Yes, you have to believe me."

Qi Jingchun didn't know who she was thinking of, and her eyes dimmed a little bit.

She said: "Second sister, if you have a chance, you can run away and leave me alone. You were picked up by your mother and you don't need to be responsible for the Qi Mansion, but I do. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I leave, my mother and eldest brother will be angry." Come."

Contemplating means simply impossible.

"My mother is a selfish person. Even if you and I are gone, she will be angry for a while at most, but she will not be really sad because she is eager to train a new daughter to help the Qi family get married. "

This is the fact, and Qi Jingchun also knows it, but she is timid by nature and does not dare to do anything risky.

Seeing Shen Siyi's cheerful expression when he spoke, she couldn't help but be envious.

"Second sister, it would be great if one day I could be like you, a decisive and courageous person."

Shen Siyi smiled and took Qi Jingchun's hand: "You know, our Xiaochun is actually a very sensitive and delicate person. As long as we gradually gain courage and are not afraid of anything, we will definitely become a person who can stand alone."

Encouraged by her, Qi Jingchun regained hope and courage in her heart.

"Second sister, you are right. When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely protect you. If my mother wants to oppress the two of us, it will be delusional!"

Shen Siyi laughed: "Okay, then I'll wait for that day."

When it was time for Qi Jingchun to practice the piano, Mrs. Qi was very strict with her. She couldn't fall short of everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so Qi Jingchun had to leave.

She stood up and said goodbye to Shen Siyi, who happened to see a lotus jade pendant hanging on her waist.

Shen Siyi felt like she had seen this style before somewhere.

After carefully recalling it, it seemed that she and Qi Jingchun had seen him in the King of Shu last time when they followed Mrs. Qi and were invited to the palace for a banquet.

I really didn't expect that her sister, who had the same vision as King Shu, would have a similar jade pendant.

Shen Shenyi didn't think much.

at night.

On the mist-filled lake pavilion in the city, a man's figure has been waiting there.

It wasn't until a carriage came slowly and a girl wearing a gauze hat appeared that the man's face became happy.

"Jingchun." King Shu waved.

Qi Jingchun looked around and walked over quickly. She blushed and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

The King of Shu reached out and wanted to hug her, but Qi Jingchun quickly pushed away.

"Don't be like this. The maid is still over there and will see you. Your Highness... I'm afraid I won't be able to see you in the next few days. My mother is looking at me very closely. This is a handkerchief I embroidered by myself. I hope your Highness can Keep it with you at all times.”

Taking the handkerchief from her, King Shu clenched it with great reluctance: "I heard that Mrs. Qi forced you to see someone else again. The secretary and supervisor have already lost two wives. She still wants you to marry her? "

Qi Jingchun looked sad, looking sideways at the dark lake, as if looking at her life with no future.

"Even so, but so what, my mother just thinks that he is from a noble family and everyone in the family has a high position, so he wants to marry me to win over power."

"Jingchun," the King of Shu held her shoulders: "Come with me. I will go to the emperor and ask him to grant you a marriage. Point you to me, and then you will follow me back to Shuzhou. Never again." Afraid of being oppressed by your mother."

Qi Jingchun shook her head quickly: "It's easy to get married. There are rumors that Princess Shu and His Highness are deeply in love. I suddenly become the third person in your relationship. I will be stabbed in the spine and cast aside by thousands of people."

"What's more, if I get married, what will happen to my second sister? Now we two are like duckweeds tightly dependent on each other in the Qi Mansion. The second sister has been enduring my mother's strength because of me. I can't leave her alone. Just left."

The King of Shu frowned: "Are you talking about Shen Si? After all, she is not the biological daughter of Qi Mansion. Madam Qi brought her home and treated her like a young lady. She should have listened to Madam Qi's words and served Qi Mansion. Contribute your own value.”

Qi Jingchun said nothing, obviously not agreeing with his words.

She thought of the thoughtful encouragement that if she were braver, she might be able to stand alone.

Qi Jingchun plucked up the courage and asked the King of Shu: "Your Highness, if I am willing to follow you, can you leave everything behind and take me far away? I want to take my second sister with me, and the three of us will find a place where no one knows us. , live a good life, okay?”

"I don't care about fame and fortune, nor do I want power or wealth. I just want to be with you. When the time comes, my second sister can also find a good family that she really likes."

The King of Shu was shocked: "Jingchun, you are crazy. This idea is too bold. You must not think about it again. If I disappear, how can the emperor rest assured? He will definitely look for me everywhere."

Qi Jingchun's eyebrows showed sadness.

The King of Shu stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly: "I beg you to be selfish. When Shen Siyi gets married, I will take you away immediately and hide you. Trust me, give me some time, and I will definitely be able to solve the princess's problem. "

"Because she and I don't really love each other. The only person I love most is you."

The wind blew across the lake, causing black ripples that seemed to fall on Qi Jingchun's heart.

She sobbed but did not push King Shu away.
