I was tricked by the black lotus [Transmigration Book]

Shen Qingshu didn't know if there was a return date for the trip, but there was nowhere else to go except to seek refuge with his elder brother.

The tokens of Prince Jin's Mansion were really useful, and even though they didn't know the runes at the few post stations along the way, they knew that she was wearing official things, and she didn't cause any trouble by being alone, and some were even willing to help.

When Shen Qingshu was about to leave the customs, the lurking sense of fatigue hit him overwhelmingly.

She had been lying in the inn for two days, knowing that Shen Qingyue was very close to her, but it seemed that something was urging her to sink.

When the eyelids were heavy, Wen Xueer's face flashed in my mind for a while, and Yu Wenhao, who was soaked in blood, flashed in my mind for a while, and I was in a daze for a long time.

When I gradually fell into a deep sleep - "It's flooded! It's flooded!"

Xiao Er's terrified voice cut through the silent night.Then there was another noise, the sound of the door being opened and the sound of footsteps.

When Shen Qingshu was awakened with a start, he could already smell the pungent smoke faintly, and then saw that the door of the wing room was projecting a burst of fiery red.

When she opened the door and went out, seeing the panicked crowd, she froze in her footsteps.

Just when Shen Qingshu was in a daze, a pair of hands grabbed her and dragged her straight out.

Shen Qingshu looked at the inn that flickered repeatedly in the distance, he was still shocked, and forgot to see who brought him out.

Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around her neck: "Shen Er, you still came to find me."

When Shen Qingshu saw Shayue, he seemed to have run into a ghost, and quickly pushed her away: "Why are you here?"

"Didn't you tell me to leave the capital?" Satsuki said happily, "You still don't want to part with me."

"My coming here has nothing to do with you," Shen Qingshu said calmly, "But since we met, I would like to say thank you for your Hua Gong San."

"That day after you left the East Courtyard, I followed and found that Deacon Yuwen was chasing you, but Deacon Yuwen is very good at martial arts. I guess you can't beat him, so I just changed a bag of things."

Shen Qingshu nodded and said: "Thank you, I'm about to leave, take care of yourself."

Shayue held her back: "Didn't you come to find me?"

"I'm here to find my brother."

"Major General Ping Ning? I remember him. He was stationed at the border between our Western Region and the Central Plains," Shayue thought for a while, "I'm going back to the Western Region. You're going to the border. We'll drop by, let's go together."

"Not going well."

Shayue pursed her lips, and glanced behind Shen Qingshu: "Where's the little lady you mentioned? Couldn't there be no such person at all, or was she burned to death inside?"

Shen Qingshu's eyes turned a bit cold: "Don't curse her."

Shayue snorted coldly: "I don't care, I'm dependent on you."

Shen Qingshu had no intention of flirting with others at this time, he just led the horse: "It's almost dawn, I have to hurry."

Seeing that her expression was gloomy, Shayue didn't make a sound, but also got on the horse and followed behind Shen Qingshu.

From the corner of his eyes, Shen Qingshu saw Shayue chasing after her, so he took another rough road, intending to get rid of her.

As a result, when the sky brightened, she heard another group of horseshoes in the distance, as well as the looming torches.

"Who is it! Stop!" They seemed to have seen Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu subconsciously thought it was a villain, and turned around.

When Shayue saw Shen Qingshu galloping back, she was overjoyed: "You came back to find me."

"Don't talk nonsense, run."

Although Shen Qingshu had no feelings for Saya, when she thought that she had always thought that the original owner had let him down, she always felt pity in her heart.When the sound of the crowd got closer, Shen Qingshu simply threw a dagger at the horse that Shayue was riding.

The horse first jumped into the air with its front hooves, and the next moment it galloped away quickly.

However, when Shen Qingshu noticed that his horse seemed to be stimulated by the sword and arrow, it had already turned over—Shen Qingshu was thrown heavily to the ground, and then his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up from the chaos, what caught his eyes was Shen Qingyue's expression of self-blame.

Seeing Shen Qingshu wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you gallop into the rear of the barracks?" Shen Qingyue helped her up, "Although the sky was too dark, it was too late for me to recognize you. But fortunately, today's patrol was led by me personally, Otherwise you wouldn't be lying here in peace,"

Shen Qingshu rubbed his temples: "Didn't you catch another girl?"

"What girl?" Shen Qingyue flicked her forehead, "Who did you come with? Why are you alone, did all the guards die in an accident?"

"I came alone."

Shen Qingyue's face became sullen: "Shen Qingshu, you—it's because the capital is too safe and comfortable that you start looking for death, right? Haven't you thought about how dangerous this journey will be?"

Shen Qingshu patted the token on his waist with some guilty conscience: "The row of noodles in Prince Jin's Mansion is still useful, besides, I only go to places with a lot of people."

Shen Qing became even more angry: "There are too many people? If I hadn't stopped them, the soldiers following behind would have shot one by one. Do you still think that there are many people and you are safe? What if they all stab you?"

"Brother, stop scolding me." As Shen Qingshu spoke, his eyes began to become warm, and finally he couldn't help crying.

"Sister, sister, I'm not scolding you," Shen Qing panicked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Qingshu wiped away tears: "I can't go back to the capital, and you can't send me back, even if parents come to beg you, you can't agree."

Shen Qingyue's eyes darkened slightly, as if he remembered something, and said: "I heard that Cousin Wen's suicide has caused you a lot of blows, but even if you relax, you can't leave everything in the capital behind. There is something to relax you."

Shen Qingshu was silent for a long time before saying: "I have completely offended Prince Duan, and I have to stay away from the capital for the time being. Besides, Wen Xueer...I can always think of her in the capital."

Shen Qingyue sighed; "The deceased is gone, you have to mourn. Forget it, I can't drive you away even though you are here, so let's settle down for now."

"By the way." Shen Qingyue's expression turned serious, "Have you ever been controlled by someone in Beijing?"

Shen Qingshu shook his head: "I do control others."

"That's why he lied to me." Shen Qingyue told everything about Yunlai.

"Brother, how could you believe it just because of a pair of earrings?"

"That earring is my birthday present to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't believe his mouth."

Shen Qingshu's expression froze: "What happened to Yun Lai?"

"I put him under house arrest. Now he is under my control, but I am worried that there is something hidden behind this matter, so I haven't executed him yet."

"Brother took me to see him."

"He's full of tricks, you can't stand it."

"I think I know him."

-

After Shen Qingshu lifted the curtain, he didn't let his elder brother follow in.

She stared at the familiar mask for a long time before slowly saying, "Yun Lai, we meet again."

Yun Lai's hanging fingers froze suddenly.

"No, we didn't meet." Shen Qingshu looked at him with piercing eyes, "Shen Zi'an, take off the mask, you are not shameful."

When Shen Zi'an took off the mask, he still smiled: "Sister."

"Can you still change your voice?"

"Learn."

Shen Qingshu stared at him blankly.

He was guessed right by himself, Shen Zi'an belonged to Duanwang's first battalion, the reason why he seemed to be doing nothing was because he was secretly running the Yunlai Casino.If it wasn't for that earring, Shen Qingshu might not have been able to guess it so quickly.

After all, only those around him can remember that this is Shen Qingyue's birthday present to him.

Shen Qingshu asked: "The girl you killed in Baihualou should not be because she slandered Qin Luoluo, but because you might be overheard discussing some shady things with Yu Wenhao first class."

Shen Zi'an nodded: "Yes."

"Did you put the poison on the defense?"

"I purposely diverted the defense to let others take advantage of it."

"But why do you still want to reveal so much information to me?"

"In Yunlai Casino, I will naturally do this business after you gave me the money. As for saying so much to you in my yard later, it was ordered by King Duan. He is happy to see you knowing the truth but helpless."

"You also planned the so-called return to your hometown? So that your own people would come to the border without anyone noticing."

"Yes."

"In Yu Wenhao's yard, why did you betray me?"

"In order for King Duan to beat you, to warn you not to do such dangerous things in the future."

"Aren't you afraid that he will kill me?"

"No, but it might kill Wen Xueer. And that's not what I care about."

Shen Qingshu had a complicated expression: "Why are you so honest now? Ask and answer."

"People who are about to die don't have anything to say." Shen Zi'an paused, "It's time for me to ask you, why are you here?"

"I killed Yu Wenhao. I was afraid that King Duan would go crazy. Of course I had to find a safe place to hide."

"Prince Duan is not a man of affection, so the death of Yu Wenhao is not a big deal to him." Shen Zi'an tilted his head, "Is it because of Wen Xueer?"

Shen Qingshu's heart ached sharply.

Shen Zi'an seemed to understand, and shook his head: "You are really fascinated by her."

Shen Qingshu laughed: "Son of Shangshu, younger brother of the general, even if you, Shen Zi'an, are a fool, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, yet you actually take refuge in King Duan, such a bastard."

"Son of Shangshu, younger brother of the General," Shen Zi'an murmured, "Can't I have some light of my own? Can I only cling to my father and brother?"

"King Jin has a good character and is well-received by everyone. If you want to compete for the crown prince, isn't he more likely to win than King Duan?"

"King Jin is kind, and King Duan is ruthless. Who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"Since you are optimistic about King Duan, it's fine to work for him, why do you still use me as a cover to threaten brother?"

"Brother, if he is not neutral this time, he will be a hero if King Duan loses, and he will be a criminal if King Jin loses!" Shen Zi'an's tone was a little excited.

In this capital city, there is not a single fuel-efficient lamp.Shen Qingshu understood it deeply.

Did you say he was wrong?He was acting as a minion for a tiger, of course he was wrong.But he never really hurt himself and Shen Qingyue from the beginning to the end.

"Aren't you the same?" Shen Qingshu's tone was softer.

"I can't turn back after taking this step, but I can stop him from being impulsive."

"Shen Zi'an," Shen Qingshu's expression darkened, "No matter what your motive is, go and confess your mistake to brother right now."

"I do not want."

Shen Qingyue walked in slowly: "Sister, get out."

"Brother, what are you going to—"

"You don't need to get involved in the matter of our two brothers."

"Brother, just give me a good beating."

"I know."

Inside Jinwang Mansion.

The light fell on Wen Xue'er's eyebrows and eyes, and it was a bit of silence. It was not until a few footsteps came that her eyes became a little bright.

King Jin stood leaning on the pillar: "Shen Qingshu told me to send you away, but it has been more than half a month, and you still refuse to leave. I can't knock you out and throw you to the boatman."

"Where did Shen Qingshu go?" Wen Xueer once again brought up this question that had been explored for half a month.

"You have asked me many times, but Zhao'an has also told me many times, so I cannot tell you."

"You tell me, as soon as I hear the answer, I will leave immediately."

King Jin hesitated: "This..."

"Prince Jin," Princess Zhao'an came out of the darkness, "You promised me."

King Jin glanced at her: "I'll go first, you can solve it yourself."

Princess Zhao'an walked up to Wen Xueer, and gently lifted her chin with Kodan-painted nails: "I have always been tolerant of beauties, even though I knew Lan Shenger was lying to me, I didn't deal with her in the end. Only You make me hate you. Although I don't know what happened that night, but Shen Qingshu left so resolutely, you must have hurt her."

The corner of Wen Xueer's mouth curled up into a smile of unknown meaning, and she pressed Princess Zhao'an's finger neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "The princess also likes her?"

"Beauties are rare, and interesting beauties are even rarer. It's not like I like her, but I want to keep her for my entertainment."

"Duplicity." Wen Xueer chuckled.

"Wen Xueer, you are presumptuous."

Wen Xueer raised her bright eyes: "If the princess can tell me where she is, I will take her back to the capital."

Princess Zhao'an raised her eyebrows slightly: "Do you think I will believe you?"

"I know the Princess wants to bring her back, but due to her status, she can't leave Beijing at will."

Princess Zhao'an's eyes wavered: "Do you have this ability?"

"Doesn't the princess think that I'm the trigger of everything?" Wen Xueer smiled, "If I can solve her knot, I should come back naturally."

But I didn't say I couldn't abduct her again when she came back.A cunning flashed in Wen Xueer's eyes.

"Seeing your pitiful appearance, I reluctantly agree to you," Princess Zhao'an squinted at her, "but there is one condition."

"The princess wants to know what happened that night?"

"clever."

"Yu Wenhao was indeed killed by me. The relationship between me and him is far deeper than Shen Qingshu thought, but she knew it a little later."

Princess Zhao'an laughed out loud: "I thought it was some serious event, but it's just a matter of trust, which turned out to be so ugly."

"She entrusted her wholeheartedly to me, but I always treat her through the wall of my heart. If it were me, I would also be angry."

Princess Zhao'an was stunned for a moment: "You—everyone has forced you away, why are you so affectionate?"

"Let's pretend I'm passionate, princess, can you tell me?"

Princess Zhao'an said reluctantly: "She went to find General Pingning."

"She walked so far alone?"

"No one was killed," Princess Zhao'an smiled, "How do you know she's alone? Maybe she kidnapped a female Jiao'e to go with her."

Wen Xueer's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there were waves in her eyes: "Then I still have to go find her."

I used to be restrained in every possible way, but now I have no scruples.
