Frost shines on Qingcheng

"It's time for me to go back." Shen Shuang accompanied Luo Qi to finish the meal with a heavy heart, and forced herself to endure it for a while before getting up to leave.After meeting Cai'er and Lu Qingrong and returning to the city in the afternoon, she really didn't want to spend any more time dealing with Luo Qi.

Luo Qi hurriedly reached out to hold her arm: "It's still early, why don't you stay a little longer?"

Shen Shuangzhao didn't look back, but glanced sideways at her from the corner of her eye: "Do I need to stay?"

"Yes." Luo Qi let go of his hand, but he still insisted stubbornly on his mouth. After thinking about it, he managed to find a reason, "Your...your has been making a lot of trouble these two days. She is close to you. If you Now, she can be more obedient."

Shen Shuangzhao sighed helplessly, then turned around and asked patiently, "What's wrong with her?"

"Very disobedient. When I taught her to read and write, I only said a few words to her, and she cried and cried, and it was even worse when she slept at night. Compared with when you were there that night, the situation was much worse. "Luo Qi said.

"But any young child likes a gentle and kind adult. If you treat her so harshly, don't expect her to get close to you. In my opinion, it is better for You'er to return to her parents." When it comes to Luo You, Shen Shuangzhao will think of the innocent Caier, and can't help feeling a little more hatred towards Luo Qi in her heart.

Luo Qi smiled: "Her parents dote on her too much, if they send her back, it will be difficult for her to become a great talent in the future."

Shen Shuangzhao looked up at her, and asked casually: "Really? If Luo Ji dotes on her daughter, I would believe it, but her 'mother' has always been cold-blooded and ruthless. It is unexpected to dote on children." Lu Qingrong will naturally dote on her. Someone else, but that person can only be her, Shen Shuangzhao.

Hearing this, Luo Qi's eyes instantly became sharp.

"What's the matter?" Shen Shuangzhao raised her eyebrows, her expression as usual.

Luo Qi stared at her intently, and after a moment of silence, he gradually put away his sharp gaze: "What you said is very true. I will send someone to send You'er back tomorrow. But you are a little wrong."

Shen Shuangzhao tilted her head: "Huh?"

"Her mother is indeed cold-blooded and ruthless, so she is extremely indifferent to her own child, let alone pampering her. It's her father who spoils the child so lawlessly." Luo Qi told half truth and half lie, between words Luo Ji was dissatisfied.

Shen Shuangzhao just sneered in her heart, and didn't bother to expose her.Turning around, he said, "Let her stay for a few more days. After I go to Qingcheng in a few days, you can send someone to send her back."

"Are you going to Qingcheng?"

Shen Shuangzhao: "Yes. I haven't seen my mother for a long time. Although you have been there today, I am still worried. I will go there in person in a few days."

Luo Qi didn't speak.The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, which made Shen Shuangzhao feel even more that she shouldn't stay here for a long time: "If there is nothing else, I'll go back first." After saying that, she turned around and walked out regardless of Luo Qi's reaction.

He just took a few steps, and was stopped by the person behind him: "You are kind to Shen Wanrong, you are kind to Ling Yan, and you are kind to You'er, but you are so indifferent to me."

Shen Shuang stopped, didn't Luo Qi understand the reason behind it?Why do you have to question and blame yourself as an innocent person over and over again?Not wanting to say anything more to her, Shen Shuangzhao just stayed for a while before leaving again.

Luo Qi didn't catch up, and didn't make any more noise, but just silently watched her cold back getting further and further away from him until it disappeared from sight.In this world, only feelings make her so helpless.

Back in Qingshuang Palace, Shen Shuangzhao sat alone in the study.The maid wanted to come in to light the lamp, but she refused: "Go down, I want to be alone for a while."

In the quiet and dim study room, Shen Shuangzhao leaned on the chair, feeling distraught.Thinking of what she said to Lu Qingrong in the alley, would Lu Qingrong go to Huxin Island?If she went, how would she feel after getting the answer?

Shen Shuangzhao rubbed her temples, suddenly regretting her actions in the afternoon.If Lu Qingrong knew the truth, according to her character, she would never let it go, and sooner or later she would ask herself.In this case, I'm afraid there will be a conflict with Luo Qi soon.Luo Qi is currently the most powerful, even if Sha Hai sends troops, they have no chance of winning.

What's more, she was not very sure that after Lu Qingrong knew the truth, she would fight Luo Qi head-on for herself at all costs.After all, Lu Qingrong has always had a paranoid personality. If she falls in love, she will be steadfast and dedicated; if she does not love, she will be indifferent and decisive.And now that she has amnesia, how much affection does she have for herself?Shen Shuangzhao was not confident.

……

At the gate of Shahai City, Qilin rode a horse back from doing business outside the city. When he was about to enter the city, he saw a familiar figure sharply and jumped off his horse.

Wearing a veil, Lu Qingrong walked low-key among the crowd on the side of the street. She felt that someone was following her behind her. She turned her head vigilantly and was about to make a move, only to realize that it was Qilin.

"Less... no, miss, are you back?" Qilin smiled, he was very excited to see Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong lowered her head slightly, and walked quickly into the city just in response.Qilin led the horse and quickly chased after him.

As soon as Lu Qingrong stepped into the bedroom, Huanhong ran in with her back foot.

"Miss!" With a smile on Huan Hong's face, she went up to take Lu Qingrong's shirt that had been taken off, "You are back. During the few days you were away, people in the inner city of Shahai were in panic."

Lu Qingrong was expressionless, and while taking off her veil, she casually asked, "Why are people panicking?"

"You and the city lord are not in the sea of ​​sand, and there is always a feeling that the population has no leader." Huanhong wrung out the towel and handed it to her, with a smile still on her face, "But it's all right now, you are back. You are back, we heart will be at peace.”

"What happened to Shahai while I was away?" Lu Qingrong wiped her face, then sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.

Huan Hong paused for a moment, and his smile gradually faded: "Miss, did the journey go smoothly?"

"It's okay." Lu Qingrong took a sip of tea, and seemed unwilling to say anything more, "I'm going to take a bath later."

"Miss..." Huan Hong suddenly raised her voice, "Yesterday I met Jiang Wei."

Lu Qingrong put down the cup, but didn't raise her head, and even said in a calm tone: "And then?"

"I said you went to West Changshan to meet the city lord alone a few days ago." Huan Hong frowned slightly, "There is only one road from Shahai to West Changshan. He came from West Changshan. You two should meet. But he told me he never met anyone else along the way."

Lu Qingrong still lowered her head, pinched the lid of the teacup with her hand, loosened her fingertips suddenly, and the lid fell onto the mouth of the cup with a "bang".She looked calm and asked, "So what do you want to say?"

Huanhong knelt down: "Last night I was so worried that I didn't sleep well all night, for fear that something might happen to Miss."

Lu Qingrong raised her chin, but looked down at her, and said lazily, "When I came back just now, you didn't look like you were worried all night."

Huan Hong's hand hanging by her side was tightly clenched into a fist: "Last night, I thought about countless possibilities where Miss went or what happened."

"Then?"

"I guess...you went to Shuilan City." Huan Hong's tone became low, looking disappointed.

At this time, Lu Qingrong slowly stood up from the chair, looked at her and said, "Get up."

Huanhong raised her head, and the eyes of the two met. She hesitated for a moment and stood up.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Lu Qingrong turned her back, raised her head arrogantly, and deliberately and unfamiliarly opened the distance between the two.

Huanhong exhaled, pretending to be calm: "Now the three cities are under the control of Luo Qi, and our Shahai has almost lost diplomatic relations with the three cities. Miss, as the young master of Shahai, don't take such a risk to go alone. .In case something happens..."

"What if something happens?" Lu Qingrong repeated this sentence strangely, she turned around and looked at Huanhong again, her voice was not loud but she gritted her teeth, "Why are you still lying to me?"

Huan Hong looked into her deep eyes, couldn't help but took a step back, and said without confidence: "What I said is the truth."

"Fact?" Lu Qingrong sneered, "I mean Shen Shuangzhao."

Huan Hong looked away guiltily, but still insisted: "What I said about Shen Shuangzhao is also the truth."

"What was my relationship with her?"

"enemy."

"Other than the relationship with the enemy?" Lu Qingrong approached her step by step.

Huanhong's heart beat faster and faster: "I don't know."

Lu Qingrong grabbed her neck violently, and the anger of being cheated by the person she trusted the most for many years made her increase her strength: "You don't know? Do you need me to remind you? Shen Shuangzhao is wearing that on her left wrist. The red rope originally belonged to me, and the dagger I carried with me for many years originally belonged to her."

Huanhong's face slowly turned red, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more serious: "Yes..."

"I want to know everything." Lu Qingrong glared at her, forcing herself to calm down, and then let go of Huanhong.

Lu Qingrong's fingerprints were left on Huanhong's neck. She fell to the ground, coughing and breathing, and it took a while to recover.

"How did I meet her?" Lu Qingrong didn't even look at her, and started to question everything she wanted to know.

Huanhong panted: "That happened seven years ago. Shen Shuangzhao visited Zhao Yueyao's bedroom in Qingcheng at night, trying to steal the longevity lock and give it to her master Shen Wanrong as a birthday gift. At that time, Miss, you happened to visit Qingcheng, and the child was very angry. When you come up, you will live in Zhao Yueyao's bedroom. After Shen Shuangzhao broke in, you guys started fighting..."

After listening to what happened seven years ago calmly, Lu Qingrong asked, "Why didn't I kill her?"

"Miss stabbed her fiercely. I don't know if you had murderous intentions at that time."

"Get up." Lu Qingrong was noncommittal about this, but the viciousness just now disappeared, "I just talked about seven years ago, the story is so long, it's too difficult for you to sit on the ground and finish it. Come and sit down. "

The pain and suffocation on her neck were still lingering in Huanhong. She raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Qingrong. She sighed in her heart that the young lady who had been calm before became moody again. She had to admit that she had fallen for Shen Shuangzhao again.
