Frost shines on Qingcheng

I always say that the plan can't keep up with the changes. What I have planned in my mind before is really coming to an end, so there may be some changes.

For example, before meeting Lu Qingrong last time, Shen Shuangzhao made up her mind not to pay attention to her who left without saying goodbye many times.But as soon as she really saw Lu Qingrong, Shen Shuangzhao put the earlier decision behind her, and Lu Qingrong herself was subdued with a few words.For another example, Lu Qingrong asked her to meet at the Shangwen Inn three days later. During these three days, she hesitated and vacillated, and was tortured miserably whether to go or not.

"The matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed further. What do you guys think?" During the daily routine discussion time of the main hall, Shen Wanrong was seated at the top and asked the opinions of the officials below.

The people below started talking in low voices, Shen Wanrong looked at them quietly, and finally her eyes fell on the person sitting beside her.

"Shuang'er, what do you think?"

Shen Shuangzhao rested her chin on one hand, and cast her gaze elsewhere without focus.Shen Wanrong called her by name, but she also turned a deaf ear.If you ask her why she came here, on the one hand, it is because she has no interest in political affairs, and on the other hand, all her thoughts are occupied by the annoying three-day agreement.

The main hall immediately fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to Shen Shuangzhao.Shen Shuangzhao was in a daze, but didn't notice anything strange around her.

"Shuang'er..." Ruodie at the side couldn't bear to watch anymore, held Shen Shuang's photo with her hands, and reminded in a low voice, "The city lord is calling you."

Only then did Shen Shuangzhao realize that everyone was looking at her, and she subconsciously looked at Shen Wanrong.Shen Wanrong frowned, unable to tell whether it was disappointment or anger.

"I...I..." Shen Shuangzhao naturally sensed Master's displeasure, but she didn't even know what they were discussing, so how could she answer it.Embarrassment and guilt spread from her heart to her face, and her face turned three points red in an instant.

"That's all. The officials below can't discuss any results, but you can imagine how complicated this matter is." Shen Wanrong found a step for her, "If you have nothing to say, let's stop here today."

The people below are all discerning people, Shen Wanrong defends Shen Shuangzhao like this, they naturally have to be sensible, even if there is something to report, they will have to wait until tomorrow.

The officials dispersed, and Shen Shuangzhao knelt in front of Shen Wanrong.

Shen Wanrong looked at her coldly, without raising her eyelids, and said flatly, "What are you doing?"

"Shuang'er was distracted just now, and I am ashamed of Master's painstaking care for me."

Shen Wanrong walked down slowly: "Since you know that you are ashamed of me, why do you make such mistakes repeatedly?"

Shen Shuangzhao lowered her head even lower.

"You've been distracted during the two-day discussion, and you're in a trance. I really don't know what evil you've been caught?" Shen Wanrong couldn't hide her disappointment, "It's been a few months since you came back, and no matter how big the ups and downs are, you should calm down." Asked what happened to you, and you kept your mouth shut. Shuang'er, what happened to you?" She could see that after returning to the city, Shen Shuang's usual calmness and tranquility had long since disappeared. What she saw was a tranced, sad and even It was a somewhat decadent photo of Shen Shuang.

"Shuang'er is wrong." Shen Shuangzhao had nothing to say, she knew exactly where the problem was, but she had no way to confide the truth to Shen Wanrong.

"Wrong? Well, then I will punish you to kneel down in the Jingxin Hall and think about your mistakes. You are not allowed to get up without my permission." Shen Wanrong was really angry, so she punished her cruelly.

"City Lord! You should think twice!" Ruodie persuaded.Shen Wanrong felt sorry for Shen Shuangzhao, which was very obvious when she didn't know about Shen Shuangzhao's life experience.So after knowing that Shen Shuangzhao is her daughter, does the city lord really have the heart to punish Shen Shuangzhao like this?

Shen Wanrong flicked her sleeves, ignored Ruodee's words, and only said to Shen Shuangzhao: "Shuang'er should know where the Jingxin Hall is, go and kneel by yourself."

"Yes." Shen Shuangzhao got up, but still walked out in a daze.

Shen Wanrong looked at her back and felt a headache, so she sat down slumped.Ruodie supported her: "Why bother the city lord?"

"If I could, how could I treat her like this? She..." Shen Wanrong hesitated to speak, "Just teach her a lesson, don't let her go soft-hearted."

"Yes." Ruodie was helpless, the city lord was really angry.

Shen Shuangzhao knelt alone in the Jingxin Hall, but she didn't feel wronged.After all, her mind was on the evening's appointment.What Master said was right—since Sha Hai came back, she seemed to have lost her soul, she couldn't lift her spirits to do anything, and lived in a daze all day long.

She couldn't figure out what was wrong with her before, but looking back now, she understands that her soul is in the sea of ​​sand—no, maybe she was snatched away by Lu Qingrong quietly when she was in Qingcheng.

Thinking of this, Shen Shuangzhao let out a long sigh.The master punished her to kneel here and think about her mistakes. It seems that she will not be able to attend Lu Qingrong's appointment tonight.

The moment Lu Qingrong said that she had a sweetheart that night, Shen Shuangzhao's heart also beat faster.She would think about who Lu Qingrong cares about, if it is herself, just thinking about it will make her heart agitate, almost trembling; if there are others, the loss is second, but it is the kind of deep jealousy that can make her sad Desperate to tears.

Lu Qingrong said that if she wanted to know who her sweetheart was, she would have to exchange the secret of her feelings.Shen Shuangzhao was subconsciously afraid, not that she was afraid of revealing her heart to Lu Qingrong, what she was afraid of was that after exchanging her mind, she would find that the person Lu Qingrong cared about was not her.She has never been able to understand Lu Qingrong's thoughts. For example, when the other party said that he wanted to kill his sweetheart, how unbelievable and absurd does this sound?

How precious and difficult it is to be in love with each other, I am afraid that only those who have experienced it will understand.In the past, when Shen Shuangzhao was young, she never felt that there was anything to be happy with each other, but now that this matter is on her body, she understands the bitterness and torture involved.

She just thought about it, thinking about the first time she saw Lu Qingrong three years ago, thinking about Lu Qingrong's appearance when she was cold to her, her smile when she was gentle, and her weak appearance when she was lying in her arms because of angina ...

Shen Shuangzhao thought a lot, and this "a lot" was related to Lu Qingrong.Shen Wanrong asked her to think about it here, but in the end she didn't think about it at all, her mind was already filled with Lu Qingrong, and there was no room for other troublesome things.

In the blink of an eye, it was midnight, during which Ruodie and Xueqing visited her and wanted to bring her some food, but Shen Shuangzhao refused.The two left after a few words of advice.Later, Tang Mengxuan came.Things took a turn for the better.

"Shuangzhao!" Tang Mengxuan was out of breath, "I heard that you were punished by the master to kneel here as soon as I came back. This...what's going on?" Today happened to be when she and Sang Yu were out on errands. Back in the city, she didn't even have time to drink her saliva when she arrived, when she heard that Shen Shuangzhao had offended Master and was punished.

Shen Shuangzhao raised her head and stared at her. Tang Mengxuan's worried face in front of her reminded her of all the things Tang Mengxuan and Sang Yu said that night in Jingfengyuan.It turned out that senior sister, who looks carefree on weekdays, also hides a lot of unknown sadness in her heart.

She frowned, did everyone wear a mask to live, Lu Qingrong didn't wear a mask and a veil, what about her?Nothing is covered up, nothing is disguised, perhaps this is how my thoughts and emotions are leaked.In addition, Lu Qingrong's ability to grasp people's hearts is too strong, so it's no wonder that he is often led away by her.

Shen Shuangzhao smiled: "I did something wrong, that's why..."

"That can't make you kneel here all the time. It's been the middle of the night, isn't your knee hurting?" Tang Mengxuan has always taken care of Shen Shuangzhao as her younger sister, and her distress and concern can be heard in her words.

Shen Shuangzhao shook her head and comforted her: "I'm fine. Senior sister must be tired after driving all day, you should go back and rest earlier."

"No, your legs will be useless if you kneel down overnight." The words were a little creepy, "Get up and follow me back."

Shen Shuangzhao refused: "Master gave an order, if you take me back, you will be punished." She paused, as if she had thought about it many times, before she hesitated to say, "Senior sister, I have something to ask you."

Tang Mengxuan: "If we have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we go back. You get up first."

"If I fall in love with someone I shouldn't like, tell me, should I show my heart to her? Or - let's make a clean break and have nothing to do with her anymore." The time agreed with Lu Qingrong is approaching, Shen Shuangzhao's heart Also more and more clamor.

Tang Mengxuan was obviously taken aback, and then realized: "Shuangzhao you... who do you like?"

"Can you answer me first?" Shen Shuangzhao insisted.

Tang Mengxuan frowned, she herself was already a beast in love, so what qualifications did she have to answer Shuang Zhao's words.A sense of powerlessness and melancholy enveloped her heart, and she subconsciously looked out the door.

Shen Shuangzhao couldn't wait for her answer, followed her gaze and looked out, only to find that Sang Yu was also outside.She was confused, senior sister Sangyu never had the heart to leave senior sister Mengxuan behind, when they could be together, they never separated.

In an instant, she seemed to understand a lot.She stood up from the ground with difficulty, kneeling for a long time made Shen Shuangzhao's legs stiff and sore.The numbness from her knees made it even more difficult for her to stand.

"You are finally willing to get up, let's go back first." Tang Mengxuan said.

Shen Shuangzhao rubbed her knees: "I won't go back, I... I suddenly remembered that there are still important things to do, Senior Sister—I'm going to the outer city."

"What? You have to go to the outer city with your legs like this? Shuang Zhao, are you crazy?" Tang Mengxuan was shocked.

"It's really important." Shen Shuangzhao said, "Anyway, please hide it for me for one night, senior sister, and I'll be back soon." After she finished speaking, she dragged her uncomfortable legs and ran out staggeringly.

Before Tang Mengxuan could react, Shen Shuangzhao ran out of the door. She chased her out, but was stopped by Sang Yu at the door.

"Stop chasing her. Junior sister said something urgent, why are you chasing her?" Sang Yu was very calm.

"But her legs..."

Sang Yu let go of her: "This is her own choice, she doesn't care about her legs, what are you worried about? And didn't you hear what she said?"

"?" Tang Mengxuan looked at Sang Yu suspiciously.

Sang Yu didn't bother to talk to her, and dragged her into the house: "Junior Sister asked us to hide the matter of going out of the city for her, it seems that we can only stay here tonight and can't leave..."

"..." Tang Mengxuan spurned her for not taking a good look at Shen Shuang in the past, but now she is thinking of her, hypocrisy!

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

Shen Shuangzhao was very familiar with the inner city, knew how to avoid the guards' patrol, and soon left the inner city.

On the street in the outer city, she heard someone playing watch.Oops, it's almost past the appointed hour.However, her knees were still swollen and she couldn't run fast, so she could only run to Shangwen Inn as hard as she could.

In a certain room of Shangwen Inn, Lu Qingrong poured tea into a cup.

Ziqin knew that the young master of his family always liked to drink tea, but tonight the young master drank a bit too much. If it was replaced by wine, he would have been drunk by now.Moreover, the water in the teapot has been refilled several times, and the cup of tea that is poured out now has no tea color. How can there be tea flavor and fragrance when drinking it? .

Ziqin couldn't see it, and suggested in a low voice: "Miss, why don't you let the subordinates change some tea for you..."

"No need." Hearing what he said, Lu Qingrong put down the teacup that had been brought to her mouth.

"what?"

"Let's go." Lu Qingrong put the teacup on the table, and the water in the cup splashed a little.

"This... isn't it waiting for someone?" Ziqin was surprised.

Lu Qingrong glared at him and said, "If you want to wait, just stay and wait." After saying that, she took the sword and turned around to leave.

Ziqin twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and hurriedly followed Lu Qingrong, Miss is upset again...

Shen Shuangzhao ran to the Shangwen Inn with all her strength, but her legs were very uncomfortable. In addition, the alley was dark and the road was uneven. With a "snap", she fell forward and fell to the ground.

The fall frustrated her, and she lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.The time has passed, even if he rushed over, Lu Qingrong might not be there anymore... Who is to blame?I can only blame myself.

"Is the ground comfortable? Can't you get up anymore?" Just when Shen Shuangzhao was so disappointed in herself that she wanted to cry, a familiar voice reached her ears.

Shen Shuangzhao looked up, a lantern hung above her head, illuminating her stained face.Looking up, Lu Qingrong was frowning and looking at herself, but unfortunately that expression looked a little cold - maybe she was angry with herself?
