The carriage moved forward under the moonlight and stopped outside the inn door.
The two little maids put down the footrests and helped Fang Xu get out of the car.
After finally booking two upper rooms, the waiter was very careful and left the door open. When he saw a few people coming back, he hurriedly greeted them and took them to the second floor.
After finishing everything, Fang Xu lay on the bed fully clothed, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, Shen Ji's red eyes were all in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Fang Xu simply sat up and pushed open the door. He thought of admiring the moon on the terrace, but unexpectedly, he bumped into Shen Ji's eyes.
Fang Xu was startled by the figure not far away, and almost called out to Bai Ji. When he saw that it was Shen Ji, he exhaled and said with an angry expression, "What are you doing standing outside in the middle of the night?"
"Too many things have happened during this period. It's really hard to sleep tonight." Shen Ji put away the surprise on his face and said with a helpless smile, "How come Madam is out too?"
"I can't sleep either." Fang Xu sighed softly, turned around and took out two stools from the house and placed them at the door, "Come and sit here, there is a vent for the wind."
Shen Ji was very obedient, walked to Fang Xu and sat down obediently.
Fang Xu looked at him sideways and spoke softly, "But are you worried about your biological parents?"
"If I say it's not uncomfortable, I'm just trying to coax Madam." Shen Ji was honest and responded in a gentle voice, "I'm just disappointed. Marquis Zhuo Wen and his wife are not similar to the parents I imagined."
Fang Xu looked at him with interest, "What do your parents look like?"
Shen Ji looked back, looked at her, and said seriously, "If I become a father, I will definitely be the mainstay of the family, share the blessings and misfortunes with my wife, support each other, and teach our children and grandchildren carefully."
Seeing him being so sincere, Fang Xu wanted to laugh a little, "What do you want to teach your children and grandchildren?"
Shen Ji straightened his expression and said, "Teach them to respect their mother."
Fang Xu was stunned, suddenly came to his senses, looked away in a panic, and whispered, "Look at me and say what..."
Shen Ji pursed his lips, hiding the emotion in his eyes, slowly moved his eyes away, and sat on the stool like a student.
No one spoke for a while, and there was silence for a long time.
The moonlight was thick, and Shen Ji looked up at the bright moon above. After thinking about it, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Madam, I still remember the first time we met. I sold my yard to you. The first time I met you, I was so shocked that I met you several times in the future, it must be fate."
"I don't know why, I can't control myself, I always want to see you. Ever since I found out that you are the mistress of Yongcheng Houfu, I have made plans to become good friends with Xie Li. I just hope to see you a few more times. "
"I thought I would be able to stand beside you openly and openly even though I am in a high position, but unexpectedly I was noticed by you and almost broke up with me." Shen Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly, "I know that my status is insufficient, but I still can't stop my greed. read."
Shen Ji looked at the moon above, his eyes a little sore, "I like you, but I'm afraid I'll miss you."
Shen Ji calmed down, looked sideways and asked, "Madam, would you like to wait..."
With the words stuck on his lips, Shen Ji looked blankly at the woman who had already fallen asleep in front of him.
Fang Xu was wearing a fur cloak and leaning against the door frame. His eyes were lightly closed and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face. He was breathing evenly. He must have fallen asleep a long time ago.
Shen Ji's face immediately turned red, whether from embarrassment or annoyance.
After a while, Shen Ji's face cooled down.
"That's all..." Shen Ji sighed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "I can afford to wait. After my wife passes this village, it will be me in the next village."
Shen Ji lowered his head and his eyes fell on the cat slave purse tied around her waist. He couldn't hold back the smile on his lips and said slowly, "This love will last forever and will never change in this life."
The moonlight reflected on the two of them. Shen Ji stood up, whispered an offence, bent down to pick her up, put her on the bed gently, and tucked her in with the quilt.
Looking at Fang Xu's soft eyebrows, Shen Ji pursed his lips and whispered, "Madam, sweet dreams."
After saying that, Shen Ji retreated carefully, placed the two stools gently back into the room, and slowly closed the door.
There was a soft knock on the wooden door, and Fang Xuyouyou opened his eyes, looking at the door in confusion.
Fang Xu came back to his senses, spoke in a calm tone, and said to himself, "The price of falling in love with me is not small."
Shen Ji's pure love is so fierce that no one can resist it.
But she happened to be the exception.
"Baiji."
As soon as he finished speaking, the window was gently pushed open, Baiji rolled in and whispered, "Madam."
Fang Xu sat up, stroked his forehead, and said softly, "Go check on Prince Zhuo Wen. We must not take it lightly until we arrive safely in the capital."
Bai Ji responded, "Yes."
"In addition," Fang Xu paused, a strange color flashed in his eyes, "Send more people and keep an eye on King Runan. We want to get half of the gold mines he dug out."
Bai Ji was stunned for a while, then murmured, "Madam, isn't this... Master Shen's matter?"
Fang Xu nodded and said calmly, "What I want you to do has nothing to do with him."
Bai Ji was surprised and asked in a low voice, "Madam, you are separated from Master Shen? Do you need a slave..."
"No need." Fang Xu knew what she was thinking and comforted him, "I have not separated from him, and you don't need to send someone to keep an eye on him."
Baiji's mind was spinning slowly, "But..."
Fang Xu lowered his eyebrows, lowered his voice, and spoke directly, "I will not put everything on one man and rely on him. It is tantamount to a big gamble. I can't afford to lose, and I won't let it go." Lose yourself.”
"Whether it is money or power, anything that cannot be held in one's own hands is like loose sand, which will be scattered by the wind." Fang Xu stared and said coldly, "If King Runan is captured and the gold and copper mines are sealed, Shen Ji If you are eager to be sealed, you will definitely hand it over in full."
"What benefits will I get by then?"
Aren’t the golden fingers in vain?
"But..." Bai Ji hesitated on his face, fearing that his wife would take advantage of him and get him involved, "If the emperor finds out that the quantity of gold mine is wrong..."
"The quantity is wrong. Naturally, we are looking for someone to mine." Fang Xu leaned on the soft pillow at the head of the bed, with a sneer on his lips. "Wouldn't it be a good show for King Runan and Cen Zhenjiang to bite each other like dogs?"
"If the emperor resorts to torture and torture, Xie Li will take action to seal their mouths forever."
Baiji paused for a long time before nodding heavily with a firm expression, "Madam, don't worry, I understand."
Fang Xu nodded and watched the little girl open the window and flip it out again with nimble hands and feet.
After a long moment of silence, he blew out the candle on the table.
-
next day
A sea turtle fluttered its wings and landed on Shen Ji's hand.
Looking at the yellow ribbon tied to the bird's claws, Shen Ji looked solemn. He quickly untied the bamboo tube and poured out the small paper inside.
At this moment, Fang Xu pushed open the door and came out, slapping his sore neck and looking at him with a frown, "Where did this Haidongqing come from?"
Shen Ji raised his eyes to look at her and said in a deep voice, "Beijing." (End of this chapter)
