Shen Shuzhi stared at her for a long time before laughing, "Shen Zhiqiao, those who wanted you dead have lined up. Imperial Concubine Hua, I … and …" After a pause, he said, "You really make me admire you, but not be surprised by you!"
The people who wanted her dead all lined up?
Shen Zhi Qiao's heart skipped a beat. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there were a lot of them in the palace.
She pursed her lips, feeling as if she had been shot.
She had always felt that she hadn't done anything, but she had always caused people to want to kill her. She frowned, could it be that her fate was not good?!
"The reason I came to the palace today was to inform you about the cat and mouse show … "It's starting!" Shen Yun Zhi stared at her, her eyes filled with a terrifying light. After a while, her expression returned to normal, "It's getting late, little sister will not disturb big sister anymore. Little sister will take her leave!" Giving her a deep look, he turned and walked towards the path with a smile.
Shen Zhiqiao looked thoughtfully at her back, his heart anxious. The reason why she came with her was simply to investigate just how she was going to deal with her. But in the end, not only did she not figure it out, she became even more doubtful.
Just like what Shen Shuzhi had said, she only needed to say a few words to take her life. This was also the reason why she was so worried.
But in the end, she didn't take any action. Everything went well except for the incident with the ghost.
Shen Shu Zhi, what move did she take?!
"Miss …" His voice was slightly out of breath.
Shen Zhi Qiao was stunned, he turned around and said: "South?!" "How did you know I was here?"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and replied, "Miss is now the emperor's most beloved person, so she naturally will be the most eye-catching wherever she goes. This servant only needs to ask and I'll know."
She was Tuoba Yu's most beloved person?!
Shen Zhi Qiao's mouth moved, but he did not say anything.
However, she suddenly took two steps towards the south and whispered, "Miss, when this servant was looking for you, I saw Eunuch Li outside the Feng Qing Palace …" He paused for a moment before explaining, "Eunuch Li is someone close to Imperial Concubine Hua. "This servant is worried …"
Shen Zhi Qiao calmly looked at the exit, pursed his lips and smiled, "It's fine." "Take me to the Moon Jade Pavilion."
Imperial Concubine Hua must have been curious about her relationship with Shen Shuzhi, so she sent someone to follow her.
Not long after she entered the pavilion, she noticed a head sneaking furtive glances in her direction from the exit. It was easy to guess with her toes who had ordered it.
The reason why she purposely acted intimate with Shen Shuzhi was also because of that.
The smile in the depths of his eyes leaked out. With Imperial Concubine Hua's personality, Shen Shu was afraid that she would be invited to visit Hua Cui Palace as a guest once she left the palace.
She knew that Imperial Concubine Hua wouldn't be so domineering as to take Shen Shuzhi's life, but it was impossible for Shen Shuzhi not to suffer at Imperial Concubine Hua's hands.
Blinking her eyes, since she was unable to resolve the dispute between her and Shen Shuzhi, she couldn't just sit there and wait for her to kill her.
Although she didn't want to be with someone evil, and even more so didn't want to deal with someone that Qi Mujing loved the most, Shen Shuquan wanted to harm her time and time again. Now that he had already entered the palace and threatened her, she felt that it was necessary for her to retaliate now.
Although she thought this way, she felt a sense of unease in her heart. Frowning, what she did … Right?!
She led Shen Zhiqiao to a spot a distance away from the Jade Moon Pavilion and stopped, "Miss, the Jade Moon Pavilion is right in front of us."
Shen Zhiqiao nodded and started to walk forward. However, he stopped her due to the fact that they were heading south, "Lady …"
Shen Zhi Qiao turned to look at him, "What happened?"
"Miss, your cloak!" He handed her a red cloak.
Shen Zhiqiao was startled, and suddenly remembered that she just made him go back to the hall to retrieve his cloak. Although it was only an excuse, even if he brought it back, she wouldn't be able to make him take it back.
Thus, he extended his hand to receive it, "Thank you for your troubles!"
Qu Nan was startled and overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. She hurriedly said, "This servant should, should!"
Shen Zhi Qiao looked at him but didn't say anything. He turned around and walked towards the Jade Moon Restaurant.
When he felt that her footsteps had gone far, he raised his head to look at her from the south. The emotions in his eyes were complicated.
As soon as he entered the Moon Jade Pavilion, he saw a white silhouette facing away from him. Shen Zhi Qiao halted his steps and swept his gaze in all directions. This Moon Jade Pavilion was a good place.
With a slight movement between her eyebrows, she suddenly recalled what beauty Zheng had told her before. There was a place where she could view the entire imperial palace's scenery.
Perhaps the person with his back facing her suddenly turned when he felt the movement behind him.
Shen Zhi Qiao raised his head and looked over. The moment their eyes met, the two of them were startled.
"Kid …" The voice was astonished, but it also hid a bit of surprise.
Shen Zhiqiao's body trembled again. His small mouth opened slightly as he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. His eyes were sunken in, his cheekbones were puffed up, his skin was dark, and his lips were white. The snow-white robe that had fit him was now ridiculously big, falling down on his body in a loose manner.
Shen Zhi Qiao's heart contracted. He had not only lost weight, his body was so thin that it looked like it could be blown away by the wind!
If his voice hadn't sounded as familiar as she remembered, she probably wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
He felt like crying. How did he become like this?!
She looked very shocked. Qi Mujing could see his dejected look from her clear eyes.
His heart was stung. He suddenly turned around. He knew how ugly he looked right now. He didn't want her to see him like this.
Many emotions instantly sprang out of his deep eyes. His thin and handsome face was tense and taut. His hands hidden under his sleeves were tightly clenched. For the first time in his life, he couldn't wait to escape.
With that thought in mind, he suddenly turned around and quickly walked out of the pavilion, passing by her.
Only the heavens knew how much he wanted to see her, but the current him didn't want her to see him like this!
Feeling a gust of wind blow past him, Shen Zhi Qiao lowered his head and twisted his hands. Feeling helpless, he touched his lips. Suddenly, she turned around and called out to him, "Ah Jing …"
Qi Mujing stopped walking and her body stiffened. She slightly tilted her head, waiting for her to speak.
Shen Zhi Qiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he had suppressed the shock within him. Looking at his back, he wanted to ask if he was sick, but the words that came out were …
"Why are you here?"
Qi Mujing pursed his lips. When he entered the palace this morning, he got a small palace maid to stop him, and gave him a piece of paper, asking him to come to the Moon Jade Pavilion at this time, saying that it was … An invitation from an old friend!
An old friend. "He looked back at her and decided to ignore her. He couldn't help but think that even if it was just a one in a hundred thousand chance of it being her, he didn't want to miss it …
When he saw her, he thought that she was indeed the one who had invited him.
But now that she asked this question, she immediately became vigilant, and couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
He didn't want her to worry so he casually replied, "From the Jade Moon Restaurant, the scenery is pleasing to the eyes. I'll just stand here and take a look!" He paused, "What about you? And why are you here?! "
