The imperial concubine bows down to me

a place?Where.

Although Shen Zhi kept guessing in her heart, she didn't ask in the end, but just nodded, and let Liu Shuyan buy a horse in the street, and took her all the way out of the city.Just like before, the two of them rode the same horse, Shen Zhi sat in front of Liu Shuyan, smelling the fragrance of her body, thinking about his own affairs.

Soon, the two left the city.Looking at the scenery along the way, Shen Zhi was not only unfamiliar, but also felt that as time went by, the surroundings became more and more barren.Finally, after the horse ran for nearly an hour, Shen Zhi couldn't help but speak.

"Concubine... where are we going?"

Hearing Shen Zhi's voice, Liu Shuyan slowed down the horse's speed a little, and even the wind noise in Shen Zhi's ear became much quieter.She listened to Liu Shuyan's soft voice and said: "Take Your Highness to a small island to see flowers. Don't worry, Your Highness, we'll be there in a quarter of an hour at most."

Liu Shuyan didn't say which island it was or what kind of flower it was. She wanted to keep some sense of mystery, so Shen Zhi didn't ask any more questions.She said that there was still a quarter of an hour at most, and Shen Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she had been running fast for so long, even if her skills were not bad, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi couldn't help thinking of what Du Qinning had told her about Liu Shuyan riding a horse overnight to help her get the boundless grass on the day she was poisoned and comatose, and the guilt and intolerance in her heart increased a bit.Liu Shuyan spared no effort to be so kind to her. She once clearly said that she would repay her, but not only did she not do what she said, she even started to alienate Liu Shuyan some time ago.

The inner conflict made Shen Zhi lower her head again, she closed her eyes and frowned, thinking quickly in her mind what she should do for a while.But before she could think it over, Liu Shuyan pulled the reins of the horse's head.

"Call-"

Liu Shuyan stopped the horse, jumped off the horse, and then stretched out his hand to help Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi raised his head upon hearing the sound, only to find that the two had reached a riverside.On the other side of the river bank, there was a hint of pink faintly visible, but what it was, because it was too far away, Shen Zhi couldn't see clearly.

Could it be that this color is a peach grove?

Just as Shen Zhi was thinking, Liu Shuyan's voice came from his ears: "Your Highness?"

Startled by the voice, Shen Zhi came back to his senses and looked at Liu Shuyan.Seeing that Liu Shuyan's extended hand was still hanging in the air, Shen Zhi stretched out her hand subconsciously until she touched Liu Shuyan's cold fingertips, and then she realized that she was a little dependent on Liu Shuyan's reaction was too natural , she should have jumped off the horse herself.But it was quite inappropriate to withdraw his hand at this time, after thinking about it, Shen Zhi put his hand up and got off the horse with Liu Shuyan's force.

"Your Highness, let's go. Go down there and find the boatman. Let's go there by boat." After leading the horse and tying it to a tree beside him, Liu Shuyan said.

"Okay." Shen Zhi responded, and then went towards the side she just said with Liu Shuyan.

The two sat in the canopy of the boat, and because Liu Shuyan gave more money just now, the boatman actually sang a melodious little song at the bow of the boat.Not to mention, compared to those professional musicians and dancers in the palace, this boatman's simple singing voice has a special flavor, and people can't help but feel happy when they hear it.

Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan sat opposite each other, Liu Shuyan didn't talk to her, she didn't know what to say, so she simply didn't speak, turned her gaze aside, and listened carefully to the song sung by the boatman.

The lyrics of the song are easy to understand, and anyone who listens to it will know that it is written by an infatuated man to his beloved girl.The words are sincere and the sentences are affectionate, and the process and psychology of the two people's mutual admiration and mutual affection are sung vividly and vividly, which makes people feel fascinated by their obscure but Chicheng love.

Gradually, Shen Zhi unconsciously sketched a picture of two lovers loving each other in his mind, but for some reason, during the melodious singing, those two lovers suddenly became herself and Liu Shuyan. .

She opened her eyes suddenly, just in time to meet Liu Shuyan who was also looking directly at her.Shrinking her eyes, Shen Zhi wanted to turn her head away, but her head seemed to be bewitched by something, but she couldn't move it no matter what.

Plop, plop...

Shen Zhi parted his lips slightly, as if he had seen something good and was dumbfounded, which made Liu Shuyan's eyebrows tinge with a smile.Although she was silent, when she smiled, Shen Zhi quickly felt that there was something wrong with her eyes, and quickly lowered her eyes, and her face gradually turned red.

Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long, and soon, the boat arrived on the other side of the river.The boatman called the two of them to get off the boat, and told Liu Shuyan that he would wait for her and Shen Zhi to come out at the same place. Then he happily tied the boat rope to the wooden stake on the shore, and went into the boat tent to drink.

Liu Shuyan smiled and said nothing, but thanked the boatman after blessing his body a little, and went ashore with Shen Zhi when she entered the boat tent.The two of them hadn't walked far before they saw a woman about Shen Zhi's age guarding the gate in the middle of the fence.Liu Shuyan gave her an ingot of gold, and she opened the door and let them in.

As Shen Zhi just thought, there is a large peach forest here, which was planted one by one by a Jianghu knight-errant who brought his daughter to this island ten years ago after experiencing the pain of losing his wife.In the beginning, the father and daughter could barely live on the savings they had accumulated in the past, but in recent years, their lives have become more and more impoverished.

In fact, if it's just a chivalrous person, he doesn't care much, but after all, a father can't bear to watch his daughter suffer with him.After much deliberation, he finally decided to build some wooden houses on his small island, buy some food and drinks to welcome some predestined people, and rely on some of their generous assistance to make his daughter's life better.

Stepping into the peach grove, what Shen Zhi was very familiar with came from the nostrils.The fragrance of peach blossoms was also found on Liu Shuyan's body. At this moment, Shen Zhi couldn't tell whether the refreshing smell was from the peach blossoms or from Liu Shuyan who was beside her.

"Gu has never seen such a magnificent scene, it's so beautiful." The two walked slowly along the path in the middle, and finally Shen Zhi couldn't help but sigh first.

A few petals floated onto Shen Zhiqing's hair, Liu Shuyan thought that if she could take off the mask, it would be more beautiful than this scene.She chuckled: "Your Highness likes it, you can come here often in the future."

The random flowers are gradually becoming charming, and the beauty of peach blossoms can also make people intoxicated.

When the two of them reached the deep path where there was no one around, Liu Shuyan stopped in his tracks again, looked up at the petals above his head, and said softly, "What troubles has your Highness encountered in the past few days? Why are you always so absent-minded today?"

Seeing that Shen Zhi was hesitating to speak, she didn't say anything for a long time, she asked again: "But because of that day's incident, did His Highness really have a grudge against his concubine?"

"Of course not..." Shen Zhi answered decisively this time, but after denying it, she didn't know what to say.After a moment of silence, she frowned again, looking to see if there were falling petals in the air, then she seemed to be heartbroken, and said slowly, "Can the imperial concubine trust Gu?"
