Frost shines on Qingcheng

Chapter 48 Illusion 【Inverted V】

After being drugged and awakened, headache and dizziness will always be one of the sequelae.Shen Shuangzhao fell into a coma for three days and three nights. When she woke up from the bed in Qingshuang Palace, she felt dizzy. This feeling was exactly the same as when she was drugged by Lu Qingrong back then.

It took a while before Shen Shuangzhao felt better.She sat up and looked around for a while, her entire face froze.She got out of bed and found that whether it was the bed curtains, tables and chairs or the surrounding layout, they were all familiar to her.

She stood still and recalled. Recently, her memory was too chaotic, and even faults appeared.Every time before the coma, it was one place, and after waking up, it was another place.This transition was so fast that it made her head ache even more.

She clearly remembered that night on the boat, she felt dizzy after eating the old man's food, and passed out immediately.And after waking up, she returned to Shuilan City, which she had been thinking about day and night.There are too many mysteries and doubts in this.Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, a voice came from outside the house——

"Pass on my word and don't neglect it."

The warm and gentle voice hit Shen Shuangzhao's heart directly, and she couldn't help trembling just hearing a word.Regardless of her weak and weak body, she almost stumbled and ran from the inner room to the outside.

Because she was thinking about Shen Shuangzhao all her heart, Shen Wanrong rushed to Qingshuang Palace as soon as she finished her business in the morning.As soon as he walked to the door, when he looked up, he saw the person he had worried about and felt sorry for for a long time standing in front of him.Before she had time to say anything more, she couldn't wait to run towards Shen Shuangzhao.

"Shuang'er!" Shen Wanrong hugged Shen Shuangzhao, who was still in a daze, and the warm body and familiar smell of the other party made her hang on her stomach, "You finally woke up, these days I'm so worried ..." She choked up after just saying a few words, and could only hug the person in her arms tightly for reassurance.

Shen Shuangzhao also hugged her tightly, feeling both emotional and lucky.In Qingcheng, she thought she would die in the hands of Zhao Yueyao, but she still escaped; after falling into the hands of Lu Qingrong, she thought that she might never be able to return to Shuilan City in this life, and she never thought that she would wake up after sleeping twice Then she returned to the warmest place in the world for her.It's just... Shen Shuangzhao frowned, she lost something in the sea of ​​sand.

"Master... Shuang'er misses you so much, I'm afraid I'll never see you again." She has been by Shen Wanrong's side for more than ten years, being cared for and loved by her, and she has never let her suffer from wind and rain.It was being too warm and comfortable that made me restless.It was only after she had truly experienced the setbacks and sufferings outside that Shen Shuangzhao realized how precious Shen Wanrong's protection to her was.At the same time, she also knows how immature she is, and she can't stand the entanglement of sophisticated people.For example - Lu Qingrong.

Tears overflowed from Shen Shuangzhao's eyes and fell on Shen Wanrong's shoulders, her clothes were stained wet: "Shuang'er is also afraid... and also afraid that Master will never want to see me again, I don't listen to you so much." Shen Shuangzhao expressed in front of outsiders On the other hand, she is indifferent, silent and introverted, and she seems to be a little melancholy, not as lively and cheerful as a teenage girl, but in front of Shen Wanrong, she easily reveals the tenderness of a little girl.

Shen Wanrong caressed her back and sniffed: "It's good that you come back... Master sees that you are still alive, so he doesn't care about anything." Knowing that Shen Shuangzhao is her daughter, how could she be willing to blame her? One sentence.Shen Wanrong blamed herself for failing to protect her well at the beginning, but now knowing that she is by her side, she wished to make up for what she owed her back then.

Shen Shuang leaned against Shen Wanrong's warm and soft arms, and her headache was reduced by half.Don't think about it, don't think about anything, since you're back, just stay there.

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

"Shuang'er, where have you been these days?" After the two of them calmed down, Shen Wanrong asked Shen Shuangzhao.

Shen Shuangzhao looked away, and glanced somewhere else, without any expression change on his face, and even said very quietly: "I didn't go anywhere."

This answer obviously did not satisfy Shen Wanrong, she held Shen Shuangzhao's hand, and spoke softly and kindly, for fear of putting it too harshly: "Master knows that you must have suffered a lot, so if Shuang'er has been wronged, can you tell Master? "

Shen Shuangzhao shook her head: "I'm fine, but I just suffered some flesh and blood, and I haven't been wronged."

How could Shen Wanrong believe such perfunctory words, and said: "Master knows that you will endure since childhood, but this time..."

Shen Shuangzhao seemed a little at a loss, so that she became agitated inexplicably, pulled out her wrapped hand from Shen Wanrong's palm, stood up and turned her back, and said: "Master, I beg you, Shuang'er, my mind is very confused, don't force me to say These...my head hurts..." She put one hand on the table and stroked her forehead with the other.

"Okay, okay... If Shuang'er doesn't want to say it for the time being, Master won't force you." Shen Wanrong also stood up, put her hand lightly on her shoulder, and said distressedly, "Seeing that you have lost a lot of weight, these few days Today, I will ask the doctor to take good care of your body."

Shen Shuangzhao drooped her eyebrows, and there was a thin layer of melancholy between her brows.Although she returned to Shuilan City, for some reason, her heart seemed to be missing a piece, and she couldn't be happy at all. Instead, her heart was empty, which made her extra sensitive and fragile.

"You just woke up, if you haven't eaten for a few days, you should eat something first, and if you get tired later, you can rest well." Seeing her gloomy and gloomy, Shen Wanrong was helpless, she could only comfort herself that she would recover in a few days.

"Shuang'er thanked Master." Shen Shuangzhao also regretted her bad tone just now, it shouldn't be like this, her emotions can't be contagious to others, especially that person is still the one who loves her the most.

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

After more than a month, Shen Wanrong was restless in the main hall.

"City Lord, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her sighing, Xue Qing couldn't help asking.

Shen Wanrong glanced at her, her brows furrowed even tighter: "I'm worried about Shuang'er."

"Shuang'er is back well, what is the city lord still worried about?"

"She came back in a good way, but I think she is different. Shuang'er was originally silent and introverted, but now she is even more autistic and depressed." Shen Wanrong was full of anxiety, "I don't know what happened to her during the days she left. What made her become like this, but she is unwilling to tell me. In this way, I have nothing to do. "

Ruodee nodded and said: "I also heard from the maid in Qingshuang Palace that Shuang'er stayed in the house almost all day after she came back, and even slept day and night. She always gets up early, but it's really strange that she has become so lethargic in the past month."

"Could it be the side effect of her drug?" Xue Qing asked.

Shen Wanrong shook her head in annoyance, and denied it: "I asked the doctor, and he said that the drug in Shuang'er is just a general drug, and the effect of the drug has long since expired. Besides, the doctor has prescribed a prescription for her, There will be no after-effects."

"Then... what's going on?"

"It was because I couldn't find the reason that I was worried." Shen Wanrong sat down, "The doctor said that there was an ingredient of Wuyuanshui in her body. As far as I know, Wujianshui is a kind of medicine with extremely terrifying effects. It was lost in the rivers and lakes." After so many years, why did it appear on Shuang'er's body?"

"How about I send someone to investigate, where has this boundless water appeared in recent years?"

"Alright." Shen Wanrong said, "I can't let Shuang'er be depressed like this anymore."

A few days later, under Shen Wanrong's forcible order, Shen Shuangzhao was forced to leave the inner city to go shopping in the streets.Originally, Shen Wanrong asked Tang Mengxuan and Sang Yu to accompany her, but Shen Shuangzhao was unwilling.Said that if someone followed her out, she would not go.Shen Wanrong had no choice but secretly sent two guards to follow her in the crowd.

Shen Shuangzhao walked down the street in a daze, as if the hustle and bustle around her had nothing to do with her.She never stopped, just walked through the crowd with one heart, and kept walking forward.As she walked, she actually walked from a busy street to a quiet alley.The gradually quiet environment brought her back to her senses. She looked up and found Shanshui Lane.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the things that had been left out in her memory for a long time resurfaced in her mind, Shanshui Lane... After thinking about it, Shen Shuangzhao walked towards the depths of the alley.

"Knock, knock..." Shen Shuangzhao knocked lightly on the door.

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from far and near, and then the door opened.

The woman stared at Shen Shuangzhao for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Miss Shen?"

"It was me."

"Come in quickly." The woman welcomed Shen Shuangzhao into the house and called Father Jing out.

……

Three years ago, the daughter of the Qianjing family disappeared. Shen Shuangzhao had been here at that time, and she had also been here several times since then.

"Long time no see, Miss Shen, are you busy these days?" Father Jing asked politely, and Mother Jing poured a cup of hot tea for Shen Shuangzhao.

Shen Shuangzhao took the tea, took a sip, and said, "I'm not busy. How are you two?"

Mother Jing sat down on one side and sighed: "Is there anything good? We are the only two elders left in this family, barely getting by. If Zheng'er is still here, we should be busy with her marriage right now." Speaking of her daughter who has not been heard from, Jing's mother has aged a lot in an instant.

"Don't sigh, I came here today because I have news to bring to you." Shen Shuangzhao said.

Hearing this, the eyes of the two old people had some light, Father Jing asked eagerly: "But it has something to do with Zheng'er?"

Shen Shuangzhao nodded: "You two, don't worry, Ling Ai is still alive and well. Although I won't be able to return to Shuilan City for a while, I promise you that one day I will bring her back."

"Is what Miss Shen said true?" Jing's mother stood up, very excited, "We are getting old, don't you want to deceive us."

Shen Shuangzhao couldn't help laughing: "I guarantee that everything I said is true."

"That's great." Father Jing's vicissitudes of eyes filled with tears, "Can Miss Shen tell where Zheng'er is now?"

Shen Shuangzhao shook her head: "Forgive me for not being able to tell." She knew what the consequences would be if she told them about Jing Zheng's whereabouts.Although the two are approaching their twilight years, the power of human desire and hope is too great, especially in the case of extreme desire, she doesn't know what will happen.

Obviously, the elders of the Jing family were somewhat disappointed by this, but Shen Shuangzhao had brought them the best news today, and they were content.

After chatting with the two for a while, Shen Shuangzhao came out from Shanshui Lane, intending to return to the inner city.On the way back, she was still full of thoughts, because Shanshui Lane really carried too many memories of her, or memories related to that person.

Because she was too distracted, she bumped into someone head-on.

"I'm sorry." Shen Shuangzhao still lowered her head and said dully.

The other party didn't seem to take it seriously, but just passed her by.Shen Shuangzhao was about to continue walking forward, when the people around her walked past, there was a breeze, and at the same time, a cold fragrance wafted through her nose - she was familiar with this smell.Shen Shuangzhao frowned and stopped, when she realized and turned around, only the bustling crowd remained behind her.

Shen Shuangzhao's gaze wandered through the crowd, but ended in vain.In the end, she had to admit with disappointment that everything was her illusion.

Back at Qingshuang Palace, Shen Shuang was in a daze all afternoon, and she couldn't fall asleep at night.In the dead of night, she found out the peacock mask.Looking at the bewitching peacock mask, she was full of thoughts.Gently caressing the green mask with her fingers, a seductive and joking face appeared in her mind for no reason.

Missing her, thinking about everything that happened in Shahai, Shen Shuangzhao unconsciously fell asleep holding the mask tightly in her hands.What exactly she dreamed of that night, I am afraid that only she knows clearly.
