Frost shines on Qingcheng

After leaving Shahai for so long and returning to Jingmingxuan again, Shen Shuangzhao didn't have a deep impression of it—except that she tore off Lu Qingrong's veil here that night.

"You just wait for me, don't take a step outside without my permission." Huanhong said.

Shen Shuangzhao dusted off the dust on her body: "I'm not even allowed out the door, isn't this under house arrest?"

After hearing this, Huanhong laughed at her: "Don't forget your identity. To put it bluntly, you are just a prisoner. Letting you stay here is a lenient to you. Do you have to lock you up in a dark, damp, rat-filled place?" In the dungeon of the earth, can you recognize your identity?"

Shen Shuangzhao nodded: "Yes, yes, I am overthinking my capabilities. If so, can I lie on this bed for a while?"

Huanhong raised her head, didn't even bother to look at her, and closed the door after she went out.

Shen Shuangzhao lay on the bed with her outer shirt on. At first, she was full of thoughts, her eyes staring at the top of her head, but after a while, she couldn't resist the tiredness and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Qingrong came all the way by the moonlight, because the night was already dark, Huanhong even secretly rejoiced that her master would break his promise to come - unfortunately Lu Qingrong still disappointed her.

"Where is the person?" As soon as he saw Huanhong, Lu Qingrong first asked about Shen Shuangzhao's whereabouts.

Huan Hong was so angry that she sat here for most of the night because of that troublemaker, blowing cold wind and starving.As a result, Lu Qingrong saw that she didn't care about her, and asked Shen Shuangzhao as soon as she came up.

Although Lu Qingrong has always been stern and cruel, she still has a bit of gentleness between master and servant towards herself.It's good now, because Shen Shuang's photos are all gone!

Due to Lu Qingrong's presence, Huan Hong was not easy to get angry, so she endured and endured in her heart before opening her mouth: "She is inside."

"It's getting late, Huanhong, you should step back and rest."

This sentence sounded extremely weird to Huan Hong, but in her ears, it was not her own lady's consideration for her, but more like an excuse for Lu Qingrong to deliberately reject her in order to be alone with Shen Shuangzhao.Immediately, various pictures flashed in Huanhong's mind, no matter which one they were, it made her feel uneasy.

"Huan Hong is not tired, I haven't seen Miss for a long time, Huan Hong wants to spend more time with you." Huan Hong refused to let Lu Qingrong and Shen Shuangzhao be alone in the room again.

Lu Qingrong felt that Huanhong was a little weird tonight, but she was tired and didn't want to explore Huanhong's thoughts any more, and suppressed her voice: "I let you go down, if you don't want to, just wait outside After saying that, she opened the door and went in.

It turned out that in the end, it seemed that she was asking for trouble, Huan Hong sighed aggrievedly.Her eyes were hot, but she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.Angrily, she turned and ran away.

Lu Qingrong had always walked lightly, and she didn't disturb Shen Shuangzhao all the way in.She sat by the bed and looked at Shen Shuangzhao's peaceful sleeping face.

Lu Qingrong was here to give medicine to Shen Shuangzhao, but when she came, she found that Shen Shuangzhao had already fallen asleep.There are still some scars on Shen Shuangzhao's face now, it is not like the tenderness and sculpting when Lu Qingrong and her first met, on the contrary, it has added a bit of maturity and realness.So real... Lu Qingrong stretched out her finger involuntarily—it made people want to touch it.She leaned down and poked that face lightly and tenderly with her fingertips.

Although Shen Shuangzhao has always slept less, the fatigue of the past few days made her fall into a deep dream.Between half-dream and half-awake, the tip of her nose first smelled a familiar breath, and then her face was poked lightly.Perhaps it was because she was used to sharing the bed with Lu Qingrong in the village, and before she knew it, she had already gotten used to the breath of Lu Qingrong by her side.Now that she smelled Lu Qingrong's cold fragrance, she no longer had the defensiveness she had at the beginning, but felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

Lu Qingrong withdrew her hand, and her eyes touched Shen Shuangzhao's exposed wrist again, the red string wrapped around it with a small silver bell was safely attached to her skin.Lu Qingrong was fascinated by these two little things for a long time, and thought for a long time, she reached out to untie the red string from Shen Shuangzhao's hand.But before she could untie a knot, she gave up as if regretting it.

In the long night, the people around him were sleeping soundly, leaving Lu Qingrong alone with countless troubles.

---------------------------------------------------------------

When Shen Shuangzhao woke up, Lu Qingrong hadn't left yet. The difference from last night was that Lu Qingrong was asleep now.It turned out that Shen Shuangzhao was still a little dizzy, but when she saw Lu Qingrong curled up and sleeping next to her with her back facing her, she lost all sleepiness.

When did she come here?Why didn't I notice it?Now that Lu Qingrong came over, why didn't he wake himself up, and stayed beside him so aggrieved?Questions, big and small, kept popping up in Shen Shuangzhao's mind.

And... most importantly, what should she do now?Want to wake her up?

Whether to want or not, these two thoughts have been entangled in Shen Shuangzhao's mind for a long time.In the end, Lu Qingrong couldn't stand it any longer, and turned her back to her and said, "You haven't woken me up after being awake for so long, it will make me mistakenly think that you are planning how to kill me."

"You already woke up?"

Lu Qingrong sat up, put on the veil before turning to face her: "I just woke up not long ago."

"When did you come here? And...why did you sleep here?" Shen Shuangzhao couldn't understand that Lu Qingrong, a majestic young master of the sand sea, would come to snatch this place from her while she was lying on the comfortable and soft bed in her dormitory. small bed.

"I agreed to give you medicine, but unfortunately you were already asleep when I came over last night. I saw that you were in a deep sleep, so I couldn't bear to wake you up." Lu Qingrong straightened her clothes.

Shen Shuangzhao: "Then why do you want to stay with me?"

Lu Qingrong pursed her lips and smiled, and replied meaninglessly: "The entire sea of ​​sand is mine, and I can sleep wherever I like." She looked like a young lady who thought highly of herself.

"..."

"For a stubborn and stubborn person like you, I should always watch over you." Lu Qingrong made another reason for herself, "Only if you are tied by your side, will you be obedient."

Shen Shuangzhao despised her for being able to say these words so confidently, and said sarcastically: "It seems that Miss Lu still hasn't figured out how to deal with me."

"It's good that you understand. Since I haven't decided how to deal with you, it means that I may do anything to you." Lu Qingrong's signature teasing appeared in her eyes, and she pinched Shen Shuangzhao's face, "So you'd better Be nice."

Shen Shuangzhao couldn't speak, and could only stare at her with pitch-black eyes.

"Okay, I'll apply medicine to the wounds on your face and body." Lu Qingrong let go of her hands, and watched with satisfaction that Shen Shuangzhao left her own fingerprints on her face.It gradually changed from red to light beige, and finally disappeared completely, just like her hand had never stayed on her face.Is it true that some people and some things will be like this, even if there are deep traces left, they will disappear after a long time.

An indescribable sense of loss and sadness flooded into Lu Qingrong's heart like a tide, overwhelming her unprepared.

"Aren't you going to give me medicine?" Shen Shuangzhao didn't understand why Lu Qingrong was in a daze. The formerly cruel and merciless girl Lu would never show her absent-minded and troubled appearance in front of outsiders.

After Lu Qingrong was reminded by her, she quickly came back to her senses, her eyes were pretending to be sharp, and her gaze swept across like a sharp sword. This kind of murderous eyes made Shen Shuangzhao shrink back in fright.

"What are you hiding from me for? Turn your face around, I'll put medicine on your face first." Lu Qingrong asked.

Only then did Shen Shuangzhao relax her vigilance, and slowly approached: "Just now your eyes seemed to kill..."

Lu Qingrong took the medicine from the medicine box and said, "I've always been like this. I was smiling one second, but I'm going to take your head the next second."

"..."

"Scared stupid?"

Shen Shuangzhao avoided talking about it: "When you were in a daze just now, if I shot you, would you have been attacked by me?"

Lu Qingrong stared at the unhealed scar on her face: "Maybe."

Shen Shuang remained silent, as if she had been brewing for a long time before she spoke again: "I remember you wouldn't be like this before..."

"Before? How about me before?" Lu Qingrong asked seemingly indifferently.

"...I can't tell. At least when I first met you, you wouldn't be in a daze in front of me. "

Lu Qingrong smiled, but did not explain anything.Shen Shuangzhao didn't understand what she meant by that smile, so she silently closed her mouth.She couldn't figure out Lu Qingrong, and she almost couldn't figure out herself.

……

Afterwards, Lu Qingrong put medicine on Shen Shuangzhao's back again. When the maid came in, she happened to see Lu Qingrong straighten up from Shen Shuangzhao, and then Shen Shuangzhao also sat up, and she slowly put on her clothes with bare back.

The maid had heard about Lu Qingrong and Shen Shuangzhao before they left the city.The young master and the people brought back from the outer city not only share the same bed, but also heard from the maid in the young master's bedroom that she saw Shen Shuang pressing on the young master with her own eyes.It was really surprising to see her again today.However, it is true that the young master had an affair with Shen Shuangzhao.

Rumors began to spread in the inner city of Shahai.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------

In the next few days, Lu Qingrong went to Jingmingxuan's courtyard almost every night to apply medicine for Shen Shuang, and stayed overnight when she was tired and exhausted.As a result, the news about the young master having a lover in Jingmingxuan spread more and more in the inner city.

Jing Zheng also lives in Jingmingxuan, not far from Shen Shuangzhao, so she must have heard these rumors.What's more, she did see Lu Qingrong frequently running to Jingmingxuan these days and nights, going in and out of the courtyard.

She knew that Shen Shuangzhao also came from Shuilan City, so Jing Zheng thought for a long time, if she wanted to escape from the sand sea, perhaps only Shen Shuangzhao in this city would help her and escape with her.It's just that she couldn't get close to Shen Shuangzhao these few days.

During the day, Shen Shuangzhao was ordered by Lu Qingrong to go to her pharmacy to look at medicine or do some light work; at night, Shen Shuangzhao went back to Jing Mingxuan's courtyard.Even if Lu Qingrong didn't stay here overnight, Shen Shuangzhao's door was still guarded by a maid, it was really difficult for Jing Zheng to get close to her.

As for Shen Shuangzhao, she did not reject Lu Qingrong's arrangement.Lu Qingrong sometimes taught her some medical skills, she listened with great interest, and even begged Lu Qingrong to talk more.Lu Qingrong stayed here overnight, mostly because she was entangled in her lectures.

Shen Shuangzhao thought that anyway, she would not be able to go back to Shuilan City for a while, so it would be better to find out some situations in the inner city of Shahai and learn something.It's never wrong to do more preparations before doing things.

It was night, Lu Qingrong finished applying the medicine for her and left.Shen Shuangzhao was about to read the medical book that Lu Qingrong gave her, when she heard scolding from outside the door.She put down the book, got up and opened the door to find out.I saw Huanhong grabbing a woman who was about her age and reprimanding her.

Huan Hong has always been hostile to Jing Zheng, and after Lu Qingrong left, she saw Jing Zheng sneaking around the window of the courtyard, thinking she had done something shameful, so she dragged her out.

Shen Shuangzhao saw that Jingzheng was weak and weak, and she was reprimanded by Huanhong, she was on the verge of crying, and she couldn't bear to say: "What wrong did she do that you want to treat her like this?"

Huanhong smiled contemptuously: "She broke the taboo, I just said a few words about her, what's the problem?"

Shen Shuangzhao shook her head, and took Jing Zheng's hand: "I don't know what taboo she committed, such an unforgivable crime."

"Shen Shuangzhao, what qualifications do you, an outsider, have to stand up for her here?" Huan Hong had heard a lot of gossip and rumors in the city these days, and every time she heard it, she became very angry and reprimanded those maids.It was all these Shen Shuang's photos that caused the young lady's reputation to be slandered and slandered.

"I'm willing." Shen Shuangzhao took Jing Zheng's hand and entered the room. Before closing the door, she still didn't forget to stimulate Huanhong, "If you are indignant about what happened tonight, you can talk to your young lady!" After she finished speaking, she He slammed the door shut.

Huanhong is angry and hates Shen Shuangzhao.If the young lady hadn't told her not to touch her, she would have turned Shen Shuangzhao's head to vent her anger tonight.
