Before he finished speaking, Musuo Naren broke in with a whip.
"Shen Que, come out."
She screamed, attracting a group of servants to surround her and follow her inside. Probably because she was a little girl, the servants did not dare to do anything casually, so they only stood ready.
"Shen Que." Musuo Naren stepped through the door and was stopped by Zhang Chengru.
"Don't be rude."
He stood in front of Shen Que, opened his arms and glared at Muso Naren: "It's lawless to break into a house in broad daylight."
Musuo Naren was stunned, and then looked Zhang Chengru up and down. The person in front of her was wearing a dark blue coarse cloth gown, her hair was tied up in a high bun with a dark jade hair crown, her face was like a crown jade, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her pupils were like spring water. , you can tell at first glance that he is a gentle and elegant scholar, but why is he actually a little cute when he is angry.
You weakling has such courage.
Musuo Naren wanted to tease him, and struck the palm of her hand with the whip again and again, and said with a smile: "Who are you? My whip doesn't have eyes. If it hits the body, the skin will be bruised at least."
Shen Que said hurriedly: "This is my sworn brother. If you have anything to do, come to me."
"Shen Que." Zhang Chengru tilted his head slightly and said calmly: "Stay back, I think she dares."
Musuo Naren sneered: "I don't dare? What don't I dare to do?"
After that, he circled around Zhang Chengru and said jokingly: "But you are brave, but I am not looking for you, so get out of the way."
Zhang Chengru remained motionless and looked at her with a sullen face: "If you run wild in someone else's house and sue the government, it doesn't matter whether you are Princess Soto or a citizen of Daye. You will be sent to jail and eat prison food."
"Ha, nerd." Musuo Naren took a few steps closer to him, and then she realized that Zhang Chengru was a head and a half taller than her, which actually made her feel like she couldn't reach him.
Moving quietly, walking further to hide her embarrassment, Musuo Naren said: "I'm here to see Shen Que. I have something to ask her. Do you want to listen together?"
Zhang Chengru did not let down his guard, he still straightened his body and refused to give an inch or speak.
"Brother, it's okay. You go and do your work. I'll talk to Princess Naren."
Seeing what Shen Que said, Zhang Chengru relaxed his body, turned around and said, "I asked the servants to guard the door. If you need anything, just call me."
Shen Que nodded with a smile and sent him out.
When they came back, Mu Suo Naren was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, looking at her sideways: "Who is that person your adopted brother?"
"My ex-husband." Shen Que said it naturally, while pouring tea for her, "Why do you ask me if you already know."
Musuo Naren put down her crossed leg and asked her, "Is he still interested in you?"
"No." Shen Que sat opposite her, "He is an academic officer in my school and happened to come to see me today."
"Well, you look good, and you are pretty blessed." Muso Naren raised an eyebrow at her.
Shen Que was speechless. This girl really dared to say and do anything.
"Why did you come to see me?" She changed the subject.
"Kill you." Muso Naren stared at her and said harshly, "You robbed my man, you don't deserve to live."
Shen Que burst out laughing, stood up unhurriedly, brought a tea cup, put it in front of the two of them, and started making tea slowly.
Muso Naren was a little stunned and asked her: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Shen Que poured tea and asked with a smile: "Why should I be afraid of you?"
She raised the whip in her hand and said, "Maybe I will really kill you."
"Yeah." Shen Que nodded, "Just maybe."
"You think I don't dare?"
Shen Que laughed again. Talking to her was like coaxing a child, and said straight to the point: "I know what you want to ask. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we... It was true. Everything that was supposed to happen happened. But, I did not seduce him."
She spoke frankly and frankly, which made Musuo Naren blush and stutter, "You, me, you..."
"We were drugged. He thought that the boat was prepared by your brother. He didn't want Amu and I to be alone together, so he asked the boatman to change the boat in advance. I guess..."
She lowered her head and blinked her eyelashes a few times, "Maybe the boatman made a mistake with the boat, but I just don't know who the drug was prepared for. After all..."
Forget it, this wasn't something she should consider. Shen Que shut up before he finished speaking.
Musuo Naren was stunned and asked: "If someone deliberately framed her, this... would be too coincidental. Even if that person could predict that Li Luansong would change ships, he would not have guessed that the boatman would get the wrong ship."
Shen Que nodded, so when Li Luansong said that he was framed, she didn't believe it at first.
"I think he would check it out."
Musuo Naren naturally knew that Li Luansong would investigate, but now she didn't know who to be angry with.
With nowhere to vent their anger, people become a little angry.
"Since you believe he was framed, why didn't you see him and tortured him like that?" She originally didn't want Shen Que to meet Li Luansong, but seeing him in such pain and sadness, she resented her ruthlessness.
What a contradictory girl.
Shen Que shook his head helplessly: "I know his character, and I don't think he would do that kind of thing because I trust him. However, because of his own imagination, he thought that something would happen if I was with Amu, so he changed the boat privately. He That’s not believing me.”
Musuo Naren was stunned for a moment. She claimed that she was open-minded and equal, but in fact, she had never thought about it like Shen Que.
"You are right. There are too many inconsistencies in our relationship. It is difficult for each other to understand each other, and there is an insurmountable gap."
Musuo Naren listened quietly. These were the words she said to scare her at the beginning. She said such hurtful words because she was obsessed with winning. In fact, she was just angry that she would lose to Shen Que.
Seeing her in a daze, Shen Que approached her and asked her, "Now I understand, what about you?"
"Ah, me?" Muso Naren said in a daze, "What's wrong with me?"
"Actually, he won't marry you, can't you see that?"
Her words were straightforward and hurtful, and in Muso Naren's eyes, there was a bit of revenge, and her eyes were full of contempt.
"you……"
"I don't want to retaliate against you, let alone bully you." Shen Que interrupted her and handed the tea cup into her hand. "I think you actually know something, but you just don't want to face it, so you would rather lie to yourself."
Musuo Naren's face turned red from suppressing the pressure, and the fingers holding the tea cup unconsciously exerted force, and her fingertips turned white.
"If he wanted to marry you, he would have married you long ago. Why wait until now? In fact, he has given you the answer you want." Shen Que's voice was very soft and sounded a little weak. "I didn't mean to say these words." To stimulate you, I just feel that you are still young and should cherish your future and think more about yourself."
"Is it really meaningful to stick with someone who doesn't like me?"
Musuo Naren was still unwilling to admit defeat and said with a pinched neck: "That's my business, you don't have to worry about it."
"Because it is your business, you should think more clearly. I am telling you this as if you are my sister. Maybe in your opinion, your identities, statuses, and upbringing environments are very compatible.
However, he is the emperor after all.
You have a strong and straightforward personality, and he is domineering and stubborn. Can you be happy even if you are really together? Not to mention that your living environments, habits, and cultural customs are different. There is nothing wrong with pursuing the person you like, but without considering reality and evaluating whether it is suitable, you are taking risks. "
She knew what Shen Que said was right, but she still felt unwilling to do so.
The two sat opposite each other and were silent for a moment. Musuo Naren raised his eyes and looked at her: "Don't you blame me for saying those words to you? If it weren't for those words of mine, maybe you two wouldn't be like this today."
Shen Que shook his head, picked up the post he copied on the desk with his slender fingers, and said: "Writing can make people calm down. When the mind calms down, I can understand everything.
He and I are not suitable. There are too many real problems lying in front of us that we cannot overcome or get around, and both of us are people who are difficult to change. "
Musuo Naren looked at the picture she picked up in her hand with the words: herself.
Shen Que said: "Everyone has their own path to take in this world and has their own mission to complete. Be good to yourself first and be worthy of yourself, then you can be worthy of others, and you will have no regrets in life."
Muso Naren had never heard this before.
She always thought that the women in Daye were stuck in their ways and she was the one who was free and unrestrained. She thought that she was noble and dignified, but she didn't expect to hear such words today.
How to put it, it was like opening a window in her heart, allowing her to see what true freedom was.
Mu Suo Naren sat for a moment without saying a word, then stood up and rushed out of the door. When one foot stepped out of the threshold, she paused again, looked back at Shen Que and asked:
"Well, my brother, you probably don't like him either, so let him wake up as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will cause chaos in Daye's palace."
It started to rain outside, and before Shen Que could speak, Mu Suo Naren had already disappeared into the rain.
The rain in autumn was plentiful and dense, with the majesty of summer but also the coldness of winter. Shen Que crossed his arms and rubbed his hands, and looked up at the sky. Did he find someone to settle the score again?
…
East Palace.
It was raining continuously, and all the palace people were kneeling in the rain, as silent as cicadas.
Mutam and Li Luansong were still fighting in the rain, making moves and dodging, and they had already fought for hundreds of rounds.
Mutam came for trouble every three days and reported it to the emperor and the empress. However, after the couple discussed it, they felt that there was nothing they could do about the fight between the two children. In order to get some peace and quiet, they simply hid in the summer resort.
It's autumn. It's so cold when I go to the summer resort.
"Li Luansong, you coward, why don't you take action?"
Mutam was furious and pressed forward step by step.
Li Luansong remained silent, keeping a calm face and just dodging.
"You have a guilty conscience. Do you think I can let you go like this?"
Mutam's whip cracked more and more fiercely.
"If you are willing to do this, I can only accompany you." Li Luansong hid calmly, "But I said that I was framed and I will find the person behind the scenes."
"I won't believe you anymore."
"Believe it or not."
"Do you think you can get away with finding the real person behind the scenes?" Mutam whipped her three times. "Do you know what people in the capital say about her now? She has been raped because of you. The scolding became..."
He couldn't speak anymore and vented all his resentment on the whip.
Li Luansong had not left the palace for many days and was not aware of the rumors on the street. He was stunned when he heard it. In a moment of negligence, the long whip fell on him, and the brocade clothes instantly shattered, and a bright red rag showed through the rags.
