Seeing that Ji Ting was stunned, a trace of displeasure flashed in Shen Tuchuan's eyes: "Why, so many lives are not as good as a swing in your eyes?"
Ji Ting blinked his eyes, and then understood what he was talking about, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "What does this have to do with the swing?"
"It's all things that make you happy, so naturally it has something to do with it." Shen Tuchuan straightened up, and became the Lord Governor as ice and snow again.
His breath was suddenly far away, and Ji Ting was a bit uncomfortable. After coughing, she lowered her head and felt his gaze was on her. For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed: "Of course, it is the most important thing that can save lives. All right."
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her and casually said, "Only I can do this."
"So I still have to thank the governor." Ji Ting said along the way.
The corners of Shen Tuchuan's lips raised an inconspicuous arc, and he turned around and walked towards the way he came. Ji Ting hurriedly followed: "They won't be able to go back to their hometown in the future, right?"
Shen Tuchuan nodded slightly: "I will let them change their identities and live elsewhere."
"That's pretty good, at least it saves the lives of the whole family." Ji Ting nodded, feeling as if the boulder on his heart had been broken, and when he looked at Shen Tuchuan again, there seemed to be a little light in his eyes , "The governor is so kind, there will be blessings in the future."
"I don't believe that."
Ji Ting was puzzled: "Why?"
The pace under Shen Tuchuan's feet slowed down a little, and his heavy eyes were incomprehensible: "I only believe in myself."
... Then you are really independent, Ji Ting was stunned for a while, and didn't know what to say.
The two returned to Fengqi Palace without a word. Ji Ting saw a person standing at the gate of the palace from a distance. When the person saw her coming back, he immediately greeted her: "Greetings to the empress, and greetings to the governor."
When Shen Tuchuan saw him, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Ji Ting looked at him curiously: "What are you doing at the door?"
"Go back to your mother, I didn't see you after I came back, so I knew you must have gone out to relax, so I waited here." Lin Lang smiled all over his face. When I listened, my eyes sparkled.
Every time Ji Ting saw his smile, she would feel very good, and couldn't help but laugh along with her. The two people are about the same age, and they are both outstanding in appearance. It should be a particularly pleasing picture, but it is very dazzling in Shen Tuchuan's eyes.
So he unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water: "I didn't know that Fengqi Palace's errands are so leisurely that you can keep guarding the gate and doing nothing."
The smile on Lin Lang's face froze, and he hurriedly knelt down: "If you go back to the governor, the servant has already finished all the duties, and now I'm at the door..."
"Okay, get up, the governor is joking with you," Ji heard and looked at Shen Tuchuan angrily, "Why are you scaring him?"
Seeing her defending the little eunuch, Shen Tuchuan frowned slightly: "There are too few people in your palace, why don't I send some capable ones over?"
"...I don't need it anymore, I'm fine now." Ji Ting hurriedly refused. As a concubine who has never slept with her, her food and clothing expenses are already enough to show off. If she brings in a bunch of servants, she will definitely attract the jealousy of other concubines.
She intended to keep a low profile, but when the words fell into Shen Tuchuan's ears, Lin Lang was enough for her. Shen Tuchuan's rare good mood just now was completely ruined, and he left with a flick of his sleeves.
"He seems to be angry?" Ji Ting was a little confused.
Lin Lang on the side was silent for a long time, after thinking about it, he cautiously persuaded: "Your Majesty shouldn't refuse the Governor's kindness."
"I'm also doing it for his own good. He is so flamboyantly friendly with me. If others find out, they might use this to make a fuss against him, so it's better to avoid it." Ji Ting said seriously.
Lin Lang laughed: "You still know how to avoid taboos..." No one in the entire harem knows that this master is under the protection of the Governor, otherwise with her temperament, she would have been framed many times, how could she live like this comfortable.
Ji Ting also knew that he had caused Shen Tuchuan a lot of trouble, and he felt a little embarrassed when he heard Lin Lang say this. Lin Lang hurriedly changed the subject, telling her to forget about it.
After this day, life returned to calm, Shen Tuchuan seemed to always be busy with many things, Ji Ting hardly saw him again. But as long as she feels a little uncomfortable, he will always come here at the first time, and she can't help but suspect that he has put eyeliner on her, but she doesn't feel disgusted, on the contrary, she has a little joy that is not humane.
It was another day, she craved cold food for a while and ate badly, she was lying on the bed weakly recuperating after vomiting and diarrhea, and Shen Tuchuan came that night: "Can't you have a moment of peace?"
"... This matter is beyond my control." Ji Ting muttered in a low voice.
Shen Tuchuan's eyes turned cold: "Talk back?"
Ji Ting hurriedly shook his head, lying on the bed afraid to speak. Shen Tuchuan glanced at her, repelled everyone, and handed the medicine to her. Ji Ting stood up and finished drinking, and asked with a bitter face: "It's just the two of us in the room, isn't it a little uncomfortable?"
"Why, remember to avoid suspicion with me?" Shen Tuchuan raised his eyebrows.
Ji Ting paused for a moment: "I'm afraid that someone will make trouble for you by making excuses."
"Worrying about nothing." Shen Tuchuan was very disdainful.
The corner of Ji Ting's mouth twitched: "Then you are really amazing."
Shen Tuchuan gave her a cold look, but did not answer her words. Ji Ting continued to lie down after drinking the medicine, looking at his handsome face by the candlelight. His complexion was originally cold and white, but now it was illuminated by the candlelight, and it was dyed with a layer of warm color. Ji Ting quietly watched him pinch a piece of candied fruit with his slender fingers, and then brought it to his lips. It seems like a father is taking care of his daughter, and like a husband...
"Why are you in a daze, eat." As soon as Shen Tuchuan opened his mouth, his cold voice broke the illusion of warmth.
Ji Ting shrunk back into the quilt silently, and then ate the candied fruit with his hands, the sweetness drove away the bitterness in an instant, and she finally felt better after being uncomfortable all this time.
"Are you busy these days?" She couldn't help asking when she saw the black and blue under his eyes.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her and asked, "When am I not busy?"
... She obviously cared about him with good intentions, so why did he want to say something to himself. Ji Ting muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to really complain.
Fortunately, Shen Tuchuan also realized the inappropriateness of his tone, and after a moment of silence, he stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, and when his fingertips brushed her soft lips inadvertently, a little bit of warmth was like a sharp sword, from the fingertips straight to the mouth. pierced his heart. Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, and then calmly said: "The emperor is not feeling well, so we need to make preparations before everyone knows."
It was supposed to be a shocking secret, but he told her casually.
Ji Ting was surprised: "Why did you tell me this?"
"Didn't you ask me?" Shen Tuchuan frowned, feeling that this woman was too repetitive.
Ji Ting thought about it too, she was the one who first asked if he was busy, but—
"The emperor is going to die, how can you tell me a little concubine?!" Ji Ting was still shocked.
Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, then stuffed her with another piece of candied fruit, and took a long while to look at her meaningfully: "It seems that it is right for me to send the palace servants out, otherwise your words will be heard by them and spread, even if you Ten heads are not enough for the emperor to cut off, I just said that the emperor is not in good health, who said he is going to die?"
Ji Ting paused for a moment before realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "I didn't hear it for a while... But the emperor has always been seriously ill, and I haven't heard you say anything bad before, now that I have said it , presumably it is not far from death."
Shen Tuchuan didn't deny it this time, and Ji couldn't help but secretly laughed when he heard the complaint.
Shen Tuchuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "You really want him to die?"
Ji Ting immediately raised his face: "What are you talking about, why would I want him to die?" It's good to die, and there is no need to harm the little girl if he dies.
"Let me remind you that if he dies, the concubines without heirs will be buried." Shen Tuchuan said coolly.
Ji Ting was silent for a long time, silently stretched out his little hand from under the quilt, and grabbed his hand solemnly. Shen Tuchuan came back from riding a horse outside the palace before, and he hadn't warmed up after sitting for a long time, his hands were icy cold, and at this moment, Ji Ting suddenly grasped it, as if a piece of solid ice had a tendency to fuse.
He knew it was dangerous, but he didn't push her hand away.
"I believe in you, you won't let anything happen to me." Ji Ting's eyes sparkled.
Shen Tuchuan's throat suddenly felt a little dry. After a while, he withdrew his hand and covered her eyes.
"What are you doing?" Ji Ting was dissatisfied.
Just as she was about to break his hand away, she heard his voice slightly hoarse asking: "Why do you trust me so much?"
"If you believe in you, you believe in you. How can there be so many reasons?" After hearing this, Ji leaned back to expose his eyes, then grabbed his hand again and asked, "By the way, I never asked you before." , how did you keep the emperor from calling me to sleep with you?"
"Want to know?" Shen Tuchuan looked at the little girl with relaxed eyebrows.
Ji Ting nodded immediately.
The corners of Shen Tuchuan's lips curled up: "Please."
Ji Ting was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "Why?"
"It's fine if you don't want to know." Shen Tuchuan said as he was about to get up and leave.
Ji Ting hurriedly grabbed his hand, and after he sat down again, he blushed and said unwillingly for a while: "Please..."
A smile flashed in Shen Tuchuan's eyes, and he didn't intend to tease her anymore, but told her the reason directly: "The more people are afraid of death, the more they believe in strange things, so I called the Qin Tianjian to come When you meet him, tell him that you don’t match his horoscope, it’s best not to meet him, and he will remove your sign after he believes it.”
Ji Ting was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness: "That's it?"
"That's it?" The three words that also contained doubts came out of Shen Tuchuan's mouth, and they were more mocking, "Do you know that this matter seems easy, but there is no one else except me who can do it?" Are people ready?"
"So Qin Tianjian is also yours," Ji Ting hesitated for a moment, "Then before I beg you, they said that the emperor is not close to women..."
"It's getting late, you rest, I'll go back first." Shen Tuchuan immediately interrupted her to leave.
Ji Ting sat up straight in a hurry, because he didn't let go of his hand, and he stood up suddenly, so his body was brought to him for a while, and when Shen Tuchuan helped him, she had already crashed into it. in his arms.
Time was quiet for a second, Ji Ting suddenly didn't want to get up, so he lay on him and smelled his breath as clear as pines and cypresses in the snow, and asked in a low voice: "So at that time, were you actually helping me?"
"It's just entering a palace, and you are tossing yourself by taking a cold shower and eating ice during the monthly letter period. If I don't help you, you are going to kill yourself?" Shen Tuchuan's voice was still full of sarcasm, But only he himself knew that his ears were surprisingly hot at the moment.
When Ji Ting heard this in his arms, the corners of his lips raised secretly: "Thank you, Shen Tuchuan."
"Bold, you are becoming more and more lawless." Shen Tuchuan frowned.
Ji Ting paused, then raised his face in his arms: "Brother Shentu..."
Before the words finished, Shen Tuchuan stood up abruptly, and Ji Ting fell on the bed like a green onion. She let out an ouch, and when she raised her head, the figure of the man was gone. Only the wide open door was blowing cool wind into the room. , Tell her that everything just now was not a dream.
She smiled softly, lay down contentedly, and soon fell into a dark and sweet dream.
Shen Tuchuan returned to the Supervisor of Rites against the cold wind. The warmth he had at Ji Ting's place had all dissipated on the way, but there was only one heart that was inexplicably hot. It didn't cool down half a minute.
He looked at the corners of his raised lips in the mirror, and after trying to smooth them out several times failed, he simply followed. Standing in front of the mirror for a while, he suddenly thought of something. He immediately tore off his belt and took off his coat, revealing the mark.
Sure enough, it was a little shallower than before.
If he wanted to live a stable life, he would definitely not be able to indulge her like this anymore. Shen Tuchuan's eyes darkened, and her words "Brother Shentu" suddenly appeared in his mind. He was silent for a moment, and finally straightened his clothes with a cold face, turned around and went to wash up.
That's all, it's just a little shallow, it won't affect anything, there's no need to keep embarrassing her.
…
Ever since he learned that Shen Tuchuan had been helping him avoid being favored that night, Ji Ting laughed out loud from time to time. Lin Lang found out a few times, and finally asked dumbfoundedly: "Your Majesty is in a good mood recently?"
Since Ji Ting is informal and generous in handling things, the atmosphere in Fengqi Palace is good. Lin Lang has been here for a long time, and he can talk to Ji Ting as usual.
"It's not bad." Ji Ting admitted generously.
Lin Lang was curious: "But what's the good thing?"
"It's nothing good, just happy." Ji Hearing finished, he couldn't help but smile again.
Lin Lang couldn't help but also laughed, Ji Ting paused: "What are you laughing at?"
"The servant can't help but be happy when he sees the mother is happy." Lin Lang smirked, obviously he had the face of a young master, but he always had a naive expression.
Ji Ting looked at him dumbfounded, then looked around again: "Why is it so deserted in the palace today, where did you go to play?"
"Back to your mother, these days are the relatives of the slaves, and they are probably busy going out of the palace to visit relatives. These trivial matters are always taken care of by the mother, so it is possible that the mother does not know." Lin Lang replied.
When Ji Ting heard the word "visiting relatives", the smile on his face faded, and his eyes were also stained with melancholy. Lin Lang knew what she was thinking, and was annoyed at his talkativeness for a moment: "It's all because of the slave talking nonsense, my lady, don't take it to heart."
"I'm fine," Ji Ting forced a smile, "By the way, they all went to visit their relatives, why didn't you go?"
"I have no father and no mother. I came to the palace to serve as an errand when I couldn't survive. I don't have any relatives to see." Lin Lang's words revealed bitterness.
Ji Ting sighed, looked at the rare potted plants all over the yard and said: "I do have relatives, but I can't even see them, and I don't know who is more pitiful."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to think too much, three years will pass soon..." Lin Lang comforted in a low voice.
Ji Ting replied helplessly, and turned to do other things. But although she didn't mention this matter, she always thought about it in her heart. Until it got dark, she finally couldn't bear it and ran to the Prison of Rituals.
Once again summoned by the broken silver, Shen Tuchuan looked at the 'little maid' in front of him with a cold face: "I shouldn't have returned the broken silver to you last time, and I ran to the place where the eunuchs gather every day, what a shame! system."
"I've only been here twice." After hearing this, Ji snatched the red rope back from his hand quickly, and hung it around his neck like a treasure.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her and brought her back to his room. This was Ji Ting's first visit to his room, and she couldn't help but look around as soon as she entered the door, until she was about to go to his usual bathing place, Shen Tuchuan couldn't bear to bring her back.
"Sit honestly." Shen Tuchuan frowned.
Seeing his unconcealable exhaustion, Ji Ting lowered his voice for a moment: "Did I disturb your rest?"
"What do you think?" Shen Tuchuan glanced at her, gently pressing the knuckles of his index finger on the temple.
Ji Ting swallowed her saliva: "I didn't do it on purpose, I really came to the Supervisor of Rites because I needed you for something."
"you say."
Ji Ting's face moved closer, Shen Tuchuan's eyes froze for a moment, and when she almost closed her eyes, she stopped only an inch away from her.
"Can I see my parents?"
Shen Tuchuan's fingertips paused, and he knew it without thinking: "But seeing that everyone else is going to see family members, are you in a hurry?"
"En." Ji Ting nodded honestly.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her: "No."
"Why?" Ji Ting frowned, "Can't you help me? I promise to only see them once, just one time."
Shen Tuchuan still refused: "No."
"Then give me a reason." Ji Ting pursed his lips.
Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment: "Concubines visit their relatives once every three years. This is the rule in the palace. What reason is there?"
Ji couldn't speak anymore, and stood up angrily for a while, when Shen Tuchuan thought she was going to leave, she suddenly stood still behind him. Shen Tuchuan raised the corners of his lips: "Why, if I don't agree to you, I will sneak attack..."
Before he finished speaking, a pair of warm little hands pressed on his head and gently massaged him. Shen Tuchuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't recover.
"I can tell you have a headache just by looking at it. My father always does this every time he comes back from court. He likes me to press it like this. He said it makes him feel much more comfortable. What do you think?" Ji Ting said with a small mouth. He kept massaging him.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Recently, the court situation is in turmoil, and all the princes are inquiring about the emperor's situation openly and secretly, and a lot of eyeliners have been sent to the harem. It is for your own good that you are not allowed to go out now."
"En." Ji Ting expressed his understanding after listening.
Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips, and wanted to talk about taking her out for a while, but after thinking about it, he finally didn't say anything.
Sandalwood scented in the room, and Shen Tuchuan unconsciously felt sleepy. Ji Ting let go of his hand when he noticed it, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep, I'll go back first."
Shen Tuchuan stood up in silence for a moment: "I'll see you off."
"No need, you'd better rest, I won't bother you." Ji heard that, seeing that he had taken the cloak, he became anxious for a while, "I said I don't need you to send it..."
Before she finished speaking, the cloak fell on her first, and Shen Tuchuan's slender fingers neatly tied a knot, covering her whole body under the cloak. Ji Ting realized that he had made a mistake, and his face immediately turned red.
"I'll ask someone to take you back." A smile flashed in Shen Tuchuan's eyes.
Ji Ting looked at him carefully, and left with a blushing face.
Because Shen Tuchuan refused her request to meet her parents, although Ji Ting still missed her parents, she never thought about it. Although he took a break to think about it, he was still greedy for the fact that others could see his parents. When the palace servants came back from outside, they couldn't help but ask a few questions.
After going back and forth, Lin Lang couldn't help it: "Niang Niang, are you really homesick?"
"Why do you ask that suddenly?" Ji Ting was puzzled.
Lin Lang struggled for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "I can leave the palace, if you really miss home, why not write a letter from home, and I will send you a letter."
"Really?" Ji Ting's eyes lit up.
Lin Lang nodded immediately: "Really, if you want to write a letter, then I'll ask my mother for leave today."
"Okay, you wait, I'll write right away." Ji Ting hurriedly ran into the house, picked up the pen but didn't know what to write, thought for a long time and wrote more than thirty pages from the day he entered the palace Half of the paper was about Shen Tuchuan's kindness to him, and the other half was about reporting good news but not worrying.
When she finished writing, it was already afternoon, Lin Lang hurriedly took the letter and walked out. As soon as he left, Ji Ting moved a chair and sat at the door, and waited until it was getting dark before he came back.
"Is my father and mother okay?" Ji Ting asked quickly when he saw him.
Lin Lang wiped off the sweat from the journey: "Master and Madam are all very well, they even wrote back to you, please take a look." He took out the letter as he spoke.
After receiving the letter, Ji Ting didn't read it right away, but urged him to eat: "Hurry up and use something, you don't have to do anything today, take a rest."
"Well, thank you, ma'am." After Lin Lang finished speaking, he turned and left.
Ji Ting took the letter and trotted all the way into the house, closed the door and solemnly opened the envelope, and saw her mother's handwriting, before she saw what was written, her eyes turned red.
She looked at the letter seriously, and kept her mother's advice word by word in her heart. After reading it several times, she continued to read what her father wrote below. Father's letter was much shorter than mother's, it was nothing more than saying that he already knew about her situation in the palace, and told her to stay in the palace with peace of mind, and a turning point would happen after a while, but he didn't say anything else .
Turning point... He wrote vaguely, and Ji Ting felt uneasy. He took the letter and went to find Shen Tuchuan, but stopped suddenly after walking a few steps. After thinking for a long time, he still didn't go out, but carefully hid the letter from his parents .
What exactly is the turning point that the father said? She hardly slept that night, and her mind was full of these two words. She really wanted to ask her father to clarify, but she also knew that it was impossible.
Just as she was tossing and turning every day, Shen Tuchuan suddenly led someone to rush into her palace, and drove out all the palace people in her palace without saying a word.
At that time, she was eating, and she was startled when she saw Shen Tuchuan with a cold face: "What's wrong?"
"Is this yours?" Shen Tuchuan threw the letter on the table.
Ji Ting took a closer look, it was the letter she wrote, and her heart suddenly hung up. Seeing her expression, Shen Tuchuan didn't understand anything, so he ordered the people behind him with a cold face: "Catch Lin Lang and kill him with a stick."
"Yes!"
Ji Ting was shocked: "No!"
However, no one listened to her. Seeing that those people were about to go out, Ji Ting hurriedly chased after them, but was forced on the chair by two eunuchs, unable to move at all.
Ji Ting stared: "What are you doing?!"
"Ji Ting! How dare you leak the news from the palace!" Shen Tuchuan was furious.
Ji Ting panicked and showed a trace of confusion: "When did I... You mean this letter? I didn't..."
"You still say no! Now that the emperor is unwell, only you know and I know, why would the second prince know?" Shen Tuchuan's eyes were full of betrayed anger. He trusted her so much that he was defenseless in front of her, but Fortunately, she passed the news to others in a blink of an eye.
Lin Lang's screams came from outside, Ji Ting completely panicked, struggling to get up: "I just wrote a family letter to my father, there is nothing about the emperor in the family letter, if you don't believe me, you can read it, Besides, what does it matter to me that the second prince knows about this..."
"If you didn't write it in the letter, does that mean you didn't let Lin Lang spread the word?! You don't know yet, your father colluded with the second prince to seek the throne, and the second prince tried to rebel after learning the news that the emperor was seriously ill. Now my people I'm going to catch her, as long as I catch it, neither your father nor the second prince will live!" Shen Tuchuan was so angry that he grabbed her by the collar, and the anger in his eyes almost melted her.
Ji Ting stared at him in a daze, and after another scream came from outside the door, she did not know where to generate a force, and even knocked away the eunuch who was holding her, and rushed out the door without looking back.
When she saw the bloody Lin Lang in the courtyard, she jumped on him without even thinking about it. The executioner lost his strength for a moment and hit her hard. Ji Ting only felt that her eyes were dark, and when she could see clearly, her back felt a broken pain, and her clothes were soaked in cold sweat in just a moment.
Shen Tuchuan who rushed out shrank his pupils, and stopped him sharply: "Stop!"
The executioner hurriedly stopped and stood aside, not daring to move. Shen Tuchuan strode forward and grabbed her arm: "How are you, are you injured?"
Lin Lang's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he looked at Ji Ting dying. Ji Ting and him looked at each other, forced a consoling smile, then grabbed the ground and stood up, kneeling in the direction of Shen Tuchuan.
"I didn't let Lin Lang spread the news..." Every time Ji Ting uttered a word, there was a sharp pain in her abdominal cavity, her face was as white as a ghost, and bright red blood continued to overflow from the corners of her lips, "He just stood up for me. I sent a letter to the family, that's all... This matter is my Ji's family business, and please spare his life... "
Thinking of the turning point that his father mentioned in the letter at that time, Ji Ting's body shook, and he closed his eyes in despair. Since Shen Tuchuan can find out that her father colluded with the second prince, it doesn't matter whether she has delivered the news or not. The fate of the former fifth prince and his party seems to be still in sight. killed innocent people.
"Are you still going to save his life?" Shen Tuchuan let go of her, his tone indifferent.
Ji Ting opened his eyes weakly, endured great pain and said slowly: "I just don't want the governor to wrong a good person."
Lin Lang's eyelids gradually became heavy, and he was still struggling to hear Ji Ting's words: "My lord... I am a slave, I deserve death, I beg my lord to spare my mother..."
He didn't know what happened yet, he only knew that he sent a letter, and the governor sent people to block Fengqi Palace, so his current fate should be related to the letter.
Shen Tuchuan looked at the pair of master and servant expressionlessly, and after a long time, a sarcastic smile flashed on the corner of his lips: "Okay, okay... come here! Looking at Fengqi Palace, from today onwards, not a single fly can be released! Wait for the evidence Get it and deal with it!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and a large group of people in the courtyard hurried away, only Ji Ting and Lin Lang were left on the ground, Lin Lang almost passed out several times, but he held on with one breath: "Your Majesty …should not have offended the Lord.”
Ji Ting smiled bitterly, fell to the ground completely, and said calmly after a while: "Lin Lang, my Ji family may not be able to survive this time, if I die, you can do me a favor and bury me and my parents together ?"
"The governor will not let you die." Lin Lang comforted.
Ji Ting didn't speak any more, his small body was trembling non-stop, whether it was in pain or something, and soon there was a large water stain on the bluestone floor.
Here, after Shen Tuchuan left, he received the news that the second prince had been captured, and he immediately went to interrogate him, and he didn't come out of the prison with a cold face until dawn.
"Second Prince, even the Immortal Da Luo can't protect him this time." Eunuch Li sighed.
Shen Tuchuan took all the testimony in his hands, and tore up all of them after a long silence. Eunuch Li was shocked: "Master..."
"Remake a testimony and take out Ji Mingqian. As for the others..." Shen Tuchuan's eyes darkened, "The second prince and his party knew that their crimes were serious, and they committed suicide by taking poison after confessing, in order to protect their families."
"The governor must absolutely not, if this is the case, the emperor will definitely blame the supervisor for his ineffectiveness, even a few prisoners can't stand it..."
"That's the deal." Shen Tuchuan didn't allow any comment.
Eunuch Li stared at him blankly, and after a long time, he responded in a low voice, turned around and was about to go back to the prison.
"Wait." Shen Tuchuan said suddenly.
Eunuch Li stopped: "Supervisor, please tell me."
"Find out who passed the news of the emperor's serious illness to the second prince."
Eunuch Li also heard about Shen Tuchuan's intrusion into Fengxi Palace last night, so he was a little puzzled: "Didn't it be reported by the concubine Ji?"
"She denied it." Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes.
Eunuch Li pursed his lips: "Since it has been confirmed that the news has been leaked, and the governor wants to protect Concubine Ji, why bother to ask further." Not long after Ji Ting sent the letter home, the second prince who colluded with her father began to rebel. How can there be such a coincidence.
"I should ask." Shen Tuchuan's eyes were indifferent, "I want to know if she lied."
"Yes or no, what difference does it make?"
"Yes, it means that she has failed my trust. She is not worthy of everything I have done for her before. If not," Shen Tuchuan's eyes fluctuated slightly, and finally it did not look like a pool of stagnant water. "If not, she must If you are angry with me, I should give you a big gift and coax her well."
Eunuch Li was silent for a moment, and after working hard for a long time, he didn't say the words "I'm afraid you're not crazy". He didn't understand, even if she didn't pass on the news, didn't her father rebel against her? Now it's a huge risk to take her out of Ji's family, so why bother coaxing her
Seeing Lord Governor, who has always been decisive in killing, suddenly become like this, Eunuch Li has only one thing to say: You are so crazy, it is difficult for me to do things for you.
However, seeing that Shen Tuchuan had made up his mind, Eunuch Li didn't dare to say anything, so he had to go back for interrogation. Shen Tuchuan stood quietly at the door of the prison, the rising sun couldn't dispel the chill from his body, and his mind was full of Ji Ting's appearance yesterday, regardless of being someone else's barrier.
She shouldn't... Shen Tuchuan clenched his hands tightly into fists. She was his lover for several lifetimes, so she shouldn't work so hard for others.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Eunuch Li came out of the cell until his legs were numb. His hands were still stained with blood, and he knew what he had just done. He handed the new testimony to Shen Tuchuan, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "The question came out, the person who sent the news to the second prince was an imperial physician surnamed Huang..."
Shen Tuchuan listened to his narration calmly, his eyes quietly looked up at the sky, until his eyes turned white under the sun, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
After half a month of turmoil, the matter of the second prince was finally settled. The emperor was furious when he learned that the second prince had committed suicide, and he really blamed Shen Tuchuan for the matter, and ordered him to be beaten thirty times. Not long after, the emperor fell into a coma, and at the same time the news that he ignored the medicine and stones spread throughout the court, and the matter of establishing the crown prince was brought up again.
Ji Ting didn't know what happened outside for half a month, only the little eunuch who came here from time to time would tell her that Ji Shangshu had come out of prison, Ji Shangshu had returned home, and Ji Shangshu was fine...every news meant to her , are too beautiful to be true, she lives in a trance, all supported by these unknown news.
Another day, she was already so thin that she was sitting in the courtyard in a daze. The long-closed door suddenly opened, and a pair of brocade boots embroidered with pure gold thread came in. how to react.
Shen Tuchuan walked up to her, looked down at her eyes, and said calmly after a long silence: "Your father is fine."
Ji Ting stared at him blankly, tears suddenly fell down.
Shen Tuchuan stroked away her tears, but there were still tears falling continuously, he pulled his pale lips and said in displeasure, "Why are you crying?"
For half a month, he dealt with government affairs with injuries, his body was stretched to the limit, now he came to visit her when he was free, but the sun made him dizzy intermittently.
Ji Ting couldn't say anything, just cried silently, Shen Tuchuan stared at her for a moment, his eyes faded: "I don't believe you, I hurt you, but I also saved the lives of your youngest Ji family, This time, can it be evened?"
Ji Ting cried for a long time before gently nodding his head.
Shen Tuchuan's eyes turned black for a while, his body couldn't help shaking, he finally let out his hold, and fell to the ground, Ji Ting was startled, and rushed over to hug him without thinking. Shen Tuchuan found himself hugged by her, and his dizzy brain was no longer under control.
Being hugged by her and entrusting all the weight of her body to her, this moment seems to last forever.
He smiled unreally: "Ji Ting... If I can have a life that is not bound by the mark, if I can be healthy, if I can...be an ordinary couple with you, it would be great..."
