The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

In September of the 25th year of Hongwu, Cui Miao and Qiu Ran were assassinated by masked men in the blacksmith shop. Fortunately, Shen Qing appeared in time, and except one of the masked men was captured alive, all the others were killed.

When Cui Miao returned home from the palace, it was already evening, and the doctor was invited, and the medicine was given again, and it was already dark in a blink of an eye.Cui Miao asked about the shift time of Ma Qiang and the others, and agreed with them on the manpower to protect Wang Hua. Cui Miao gave Ma Qiang some money and asked him to go to a restaurant to ask for food and drink. Everyone sat around and ate and drank until the end of Xu Dynasty .Ma Qiang and Sun Hai stayed behind, planning to make a living on the floor of Wang Hua's room for the night. Tomorrow, they would tidy up the utility room for those on duty to rest, while everyone else went home.

Under Wang Hua's urging, Cui Miao simply washed up and went to bed.After a day of tossing around and injuries on her body, Cui Miao's spirit was also a little weak, and she fell asleep after lying on the bed.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, a sudden cold wind blows, Cui Miao wakes up from the dream, he opens his eyes, and looks in the direction of the door, there is no moon today, the room is pitch black, Cui Miao can feel someone approaching, but cannot see who is coming who is it.He quietly clenched the dagger under the pillow, arched his body, and watched the direction of the person vigilantly.

The man walked to the bed, and Cui Miao couldn't help being startled by the familiar breath, and called out tentatively, "Ah Qing?"

Shen Qing's footsteps paused, and then he responded softly, took off his outer shirt and got on the bed.

Sensing Shen Qing's movements, Cui Miao consciously moved inwards to give up the outside position, but Shen Qing pressed directly on his body, wrapped his arms around his neck, and hugged his body tightly.Cui Miao was startled, then wrapped her arms around his body, comforting him gently.

"Da Lang..." Shen Qing whispered in Cui Miao's ear one after another.

Cui Miao asked directly: "Ah Qing, did I make you angry today?"

Shen Qing was silent for a while, then said: "Da Lang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have a cold war with you."

Cui Miao patted Shen Qing's back lightly to calm his emotions, and said in a gentle voice: "Ah Qing, I know that you must be angry because I did something wrong, and I can apologize to you. But Ah Qing, I really don't like this kind of cold war, it really hurts feelings."

"Well, I know, it won't be like this in the future. Don't take it to heart, Dalang, okay?"

"It should be like this." Cui Miao said softly: "Then Ah Qing, tell me, why are you angry today?"

"I..." Shen Qing paused for a while, and said: "Today in front of the prince, you defended Qiu Ran like that, did you think about the consequences? If the prince gets angry, what should you do?"

Suddenly, Cui Miao kissed Shen Qing's forehead, and said apologetically, "Ah Qing, I'm sorry to make you worry. But Ah Qing, you should understand my temperament. Even if the prince is angry, I can't just watch Qiu Ran be beaten Sentenced to death, not to mention that I am friends with him, even if he is a stranger, I can't sit idly by."

"I understand." It was precisely because of understanding that Shen Qing was terrified and said, "Da Lang, I can't live without you!"

"I know, Ah Qing, am I okay? I have stayed by the prince's side for so many years, and I understand his temperament. This line, the prince will not do anything to me. Ah Qing, I have done so much for the sake of us being together better in the future, do you understand?"

Shen Qing was startled, the sourness in his heart disappeared, his chest was filled with emotion, he sighed, and said: "Da Lang, I understand."

"If you are angry in the future, tell me directly. Let's talk about the matter. We should admit our mistakes and apologize. It's better than letting people guess. Over time, we will all get tired."

"En, good." Shen Qing's heart tightened, and he quickly changed the subject and said, "Did you see a doctor for your injury?"

"Look, the doctor said it's all right, as long as the dressing is changed on time, it will be fine in a few days. However, whether Ah Qing can get off my body, you have pressed my wound."

Shen Qing hurriedly stood up, about to get out of bed to light the lamp, Cui Miao grabbed him and said with a smile: "Ah Qing, I'm just kidding you, I didn't press the wound, don't worry about it, I'm really tired."

Shen Qing lay down again, hugged Cui Miao's waist sideways, and said: "Go to sleep when you're tired."

Cui Miao held Shen Qing's hand, interlocked his fingers, and said, "Ah Qing, do you still remember the case at the Fengyang Inn?"

"Remember. Why did Dalang mention this case?"

"Sun Ping's death and the killing of Sun Xiu's family have not yet been concluded. I remember you once said that the prince will definitely not pursue it. Now that I think about it, maybe I have a guess in my heart."

Cui Miao vaguely guessed that the case at the inn was entirely a scene directed and acted by King Yan himself, that Sun Ping was actually a member of King Yan, and that the two killed were actually other princes, or even the emperor. Placed in Yanshanwei's eyeliner.It's just that they didn't expect to meet Cui Miao, which disrupted their plan.But King Yan took Sun Ping back to the dungeon of King Yan's mansion on the grounds of finding out the real murderer behind the scenes.The reason why Sun Ping died was also because he was already an abandoned son.King Yan wanted to use the death of this abandoned son as an excuse to thoroughly investigate Yan Shanwei's details.As for the killing of Sun Xiu's family, it was entirely due to Zhang Ming's jealousy of Cui Miao, which not only killed Sun Xiu's family, but also exposed his identity as a spy.Thinking of this, Cui Miao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, because of King Yan's scheming, and also because of her own blessing and fate.

"Da Lang is smart, he will always figure it out."

Cui Miao sighed, "The most is the ruthless emperor's family. For that position, countless people died in vain. Father and son turned against each other, brothers killed each other, and those involved will be lost forever."

"Well, that's the price of being superior."

"No matter what happened to Sun Ping, I was responsible for the wrongful death of Sun Xiu's family."

"It's not Da Lang's fault, don't take it on yourself."

Cui Miao smiled noncommittally, and said: "Ah Qing, Song Dali's case involves a lot, and even has something to do with Prince Yiwen's matter. This is a thorn in the emperor's heart. I'm afraid that if we continue to hide it, the prince may You will be jealous of the emperor."

"Da Lang don't need to worry, there is a secret envoy from the palace going to the capital this evening, probably the prince has become alert and does not intend to keep it a secret."

Cui Miao was stunned, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then said mockingly: "There are so many strange and talented people around the prince, how could I not notice it, it seems that I am too worried."

"Da Lang, don't try to be your best in doing things in the future. People in power like smart people, but they are also taboo. Once they think you will be out of their control, they will give up without hesitation. This is imperial power."

"Okay, I'll write it down." Cui Miao yawned, her voice was a little fuzzy, kissed Shen Qing's forehead, and said, "Ah Qing, go to sleep, good night."

The bedroom was quiet, and not long after, both of them fell asleep peacefully.There was nothing to say all night, when Cui Miao woke up, Shen Qing had already left, if it wasn't for his breath still lingering in the bed, Cui Miao thought it was just a dream.

Cui Miao sat up and stretched, put on her coat with some difficulty, and went out of the room.

Ma Qiang was squatting in the corner with a pipe in his hand, seeing Cui Miao going out, he said with concern: "Qianhu, you are still hurt, why don't you rest for a while?"

"It's just a flesh injury. I'm not a little girl, so I won't stay in bed."

Ma Qiang joked: "Qianhu, to tell you the truth, if you hadn't been with Qianhu for so many years, and you were used to seeing Qianhu charge into battle, just by looking at your appearance, who would believe that you are a general in battle? There are no civil servants like Qianhu. Hu is so pretty!"

Cui Miao scolded with a smile: "Good old horse, you are used to making fun of me, be careful, I will let someone beat you with a hundred army sticks."

Sun Hai came out of the room disheveled, and interjected: "Qianhu, I have a question under the label, I wonder if I can ask it?"

"Can you ask yourself to think about it." Cui Miao couldn't help rolling her eyes, and these old guys became more and more unruly because of his good temper.

"After thinking about it, I think I can still ask." Sun Hai looked at Cui Miao with a playful smile, and then said: "Qianhu, you are also in your thirties, why haven't you married yet?"

"I have had a sweetheart since I was a child, but due to various reasons, the two of us could not get married. I made an oath that I would not marry unless he was the one, so I can't break my word." Cui Miao's use of Shen Qing's words made sense.

"Sweetheart? A woman who can make Qianhu swear that she will not marry her, what kind of beauty is she! Qianhu, just let us know what to do, please tell us."

"He, he looks really good, and he is very kind to me, but his temper is a bit dull."

"Good-looking? How is it good? Does Qianhu look good?"

"You two old bastards, you don't do business all day long, but you like to play tricks on your parents like women, and you don't feel ashamed to panic."

"What's the matter, the bidder is also concerned about Qianhu, so I asked a few more questions. Besides, the bidders are just curious about what kind of woman can be so favored by Qianhu?"

Cui Miao didn't bother to talk to them, and they all spoke yellow accents at every turn, like old fried dough sticks.After Cui Miao simply washed up, she took out the short knife she brought from the blacksmith's shop, and beat the Shen family's knife technique from beginning to end several times, until she broke out in sweat, and then stopped.

Sun Hai walked up to Cui Miao, looked at the short knife in his hand with bright eyes, and said, "Qianhu, when did you get this knife? It looks sharper than your saber!"

"What's the matter, do you want to use a knife?"

"How can it be? A treasured sword deserves a hero. Only someone like you, Qianhu, deserves to have it. The bid is just to try the feel."

Cui Miao flatly refused, "No. This knife has spirituality, and no one else can touch it except me."

Cui Miao put on the scabbard on his own. He couldn't bear to let others try such a good weapon.

"Qianhu is very stingy!"

"Dong dong dong", the courtyard door was knocked, everyone was taken aback, Cui Miao glanced at Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang understood, knocked his cigarette bag on the ground, got up and opened the door.

The gate of the courtyard was opened, and Qiu Ran appeared outside the door, followed by two guards in official uniforms of the criminal justice department.

"Excuse me, is this the residence of Master Cui Miao?"
