Rouge wrong

Wen Shi and Xie Yu came late, because there was a mistake, and they didn't wait for them deliberately, and the first wave of ingredients they ordered was just right to eat.

Shen Cuo was absent-minded because of what happened before, and although the sauce at the bottom of the pot made by Si Ming was excellent, she still didn't know how to taste it.

Shen Cuo was full of thoughts, and the rest of the people naturally couldn't be presumptuous. In addition, the atmosphere between Wenzhi and Jieyu was a little strange, and the atmosphere became more and more weird. After the last meal, only Huzi ate the most happily.

Shen Cuo chatted all kinds of things, went to bed early after taking a bath, but couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning.

Seeing that she was very preoccupied this time, but she rarely had an attack and did not seek solutions, Yan Zhi couldn't help but feel very worried.

"Shopkeeper Shen, can't you sleep?"

Shen Cuo seldom suppresses troubles, and naturally he rarely tosses and turns and cannot sleep.

Hearing Rouge's words, she couldn't help sighing deeply, feeling an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

"Oh, I don't know what's wrong, I feel very uncomfortable."

Yanzhi huddled beside Shen Cuo, and asked with concern: "Is it because you didn't have dinner with your aunt?"

"There is a reason for this..."

Shen Cuo was indeed annoyed by this at the beginning, but after she came back and listened to Si Ming's words, she began to be troubled by other emotions.

She grew up as the young master of the Tianming sect, and she has no desires or desires other than fighting for the number one in the world, and she is carefree.

The only annoyances are nothing more than the constant pestering of decent people.

It wasn't until Tianming Sect was "destroyed" and her aunt was placed under house arrest by her mother, and she had to be separated from the four maids, that she understood some sufferings in the world.

But even so, she never experienced such indescribable frustration.

It was only two short years apart, and everyone seemed to have changed.Si Ming became more and more difficult to see through, and there seemed to be some gap between him and Wen Shi, and his relationship with Xie Yu was not as close as before. Only Bai Quan... was still thinking about making money.

Seeing that she was frowning and looking sullen, Rouge recalled what Xie Yu had said to her in the afternoon.

Ever since she decided to sell herself to Shen Cuo, she no longer thought as hard about the future as she did in the past.

But today, Xie Yu asked her about her future plans - how much she felt grateful to Shopkeeper Shen.

After talking with Xie Yu, Yan Zhi realized how shallow she was.

She just drifted with the flow and stayed by Shopkeeper Shen's side naturally, which was completely different from sister Xie Yu and others' awareness.

"Is that because you can't reunite with your four sisters?"

Shen Cuo thought for a while and sighed: "It seems to be because of this, but it seems not, alas...the four of them have also reached the age of marriage, but I have never considered this.

I used to think that they would follow me all their lives, but now it seems that I am too naive. "

"Sister Xie Yu and the others really hope to come back to you."

"Even so, so what? One day when my mother is around, my aunt and Xie Yu may not be able to be free."

The four Xie Yu were like her right-hand men, and when her mother was guarding against her aunts, she would naturally guard against them.

Her current freedom was completely exchanged for the freedom of her aunt, Xie Yu and others.Shen Cuo understands very well that to change this phenomenon, one cannot just wait.

But the mother's defense was too strict, and two years passed without her knowing, and her plan had almost no progress.

Because Yan Zhi has experienced family misfortune, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with Shen Cuo being so wary of Liu Rongzhi.

She just didn't understand the entanglement of grievances and grievances, so she didn't know how to comfort Shen Cuo.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I don't know what happened between you and the eldest princess, Tianmingjiao and the court. But I think the eldest princess still cares about you..."

Rouge didn't mean to have love, or even to have feelings, but to care, which Shen Cuo quite agrees with.

The only reason she can survive until now is probably Liu Rongzhi's daughter.

Although she has absolute confidence in martial arts, after experiencing the previous incidents, she believes that Liu Rongzhi must have many ways to make her fall for it unconsciously.

Liu Rongzhi only used Hua Gong San instead of other more powerful poisons to set her up. Apart from worrying about her identity, Shen Cuo couldn't think of anything else.

Liu Rongzhi may not have mother-daughter affection for her, but he still cares about the blood relationship.

"Hmph, she only cares about me because I'm her only daughter. Little Rouge, you don't know how much she goes too far, even compared to your father."

Yan Zhi originally thought that Shen Cuo was unwilling to mention those things in the past, but she did not expect that she would not reject it at all, and angrily accused the eldest princess of her crimes.

"You have also read some books this year, do you know how my Dayan revived?"

Rouge shook her head—she had only read some history books, and hadn't read the history of Yan yet.

Shen Cuo became a little interested, hugged Yan Zhi in his arms, half sat up and looked at her and said: "Today I will tell you about the relationship between Tianming Sect, the imperial court and my mother, and this matter is also related to Dayan Zhongxing. "

Decades ago, the northern barbarians invaded, the imperial court was short of troops, and retreated steadily. The vassal kings from all over the country had their own ghosts, and the mountains and rivers of Dayan were fragmented.

Liu Rongzhi's father was enshrined in Yandi, originally he was not outstanding among his brothers, but at that time he took the initiative to support Emperor Ai and respectfully asked him to move his capital to Yandi.

However, Emperor Ai died on the way to move the capital to the south. Because he had no children, he planned to pass on the throne of King Yan.

"Winners and losers, now this is the truth of the matter..." Shen Cuo sneered, "If it was King Qin and King Lu who took over the world, Emperor Ai must have been killed by the first emperor and forged the imperial decree.

Although Emperor Ai had no children, King Qin and King Lu were younger brothers from the same mother. If you talk about closeness, it is impossible for King Yan to turn.

Although the reaction of these two men was not as quick as that of King Yan, they quickly dispatched troops to greet Emperor Ai.

It was also at this time that Emperor Ai died on the way, which is strange no matter how you think about it. "

"As soon as the imperial decree came out, King Yan immediately became the target of public criticism, and the vassal kings from all over the country established themselves as emperors. The external worries were still unresolved, and the internal worries became more and more serious. Seeing that the brothers were going to attack him together, the King of Yan took the initiative to retreat.

After that, he actively fought against the barbarians and raised troops in the fields, which not only further strengthened his power, but also became more and more popular among the people. "

Yan Zhi listened carefully, and praised: "Cheng Zu is really wise and powerful."

Shen Cuo smiled lightly: "The first emperor did have talents who cultivated talents, accepted good words, and knew people and used them well, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that they are wise and powerful.

From my point of view, he was able to win the world not only because of his several children, but more importantly because he found an excellent ally. "

The eldest son of Chengzu is good at fighting, the second son, the current emperor, is good at internal affairs, and the only daughter is even more talented in strategizing and winning thousands of miles. On the other hand, it is not easy for other princes and heirs to have a talent. Chengzu can finally win The world is no wonder.

"Allies?" Rouge suddenly had an idea in his mind, covered his mouth and said in surprise, "Could it be..."

"Hmph, how do you think the rumors about my mother having the appearance of an emperor and daughter started? The immortal who gave her the name was my great-grandfather.

If Tianming Sect didn't stop the northern barbarians for them, how could Chengzu deal with his brothers so calmly? "

"Ah, then why..."

"Why did we come to this point in the end?" Shen Cuo sighed for a long time, "The rabbit dies and the dog cooks, the bird dies and the bow hides. This has always been the case in history. My mother is a thorough strategist. Not indulging in the love of children, marrying my father is also for marriage.

After my father died, she completely stood against my aunt.

Not only suppressed Tianming Sect everywhere, but also killed my aunt's most beloved person... Do you think she is hateful or not? "

Rouge's heart was heavy when she heard this, but soon a question came to her mind.

"Shopkeeper Shen, how did you know about the eldest princess? Did your aunt tell you?"

"Hey, how could my aunt tell me these things? She seldom mentioned my mother, and she never said anything bad about her.

These are all heard from my aunt's former maid, and combined with my mother's actions, a ten out of ten can be deduced.

Before the imperial court planned to send troops, my aunt and I already had the intention of retreating.The congregants who originally planned to settle in the Central Plains retreated to Mobei and never set foot in the Central Plains.

I didn't expect my mother to launch an attack in advance, set up a bait to lure me to the south of the Yangtze River, and then raided the main altar of the Tianming Sect with lightning speed.

Even though I promised that my aunt and I would never interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains, she still refused to let us leave. "

"Did you originally plan to leave the Central Plains and go to Mobei?"

Rouge was full of nervousness - if shopkeeper Shen went to Mobei, it would be impossible for them to meet.

Shen Cuo didn't notice Yan Zhi's thoughts at all, and nodded of course, "You should have seen it too, I have northern barbarian blood. My great-grandmother came from a nomadic tribe in the north, and the Tianming sect also has many followers in Mobei. Although it will be inconvenient to retreat to Mobei, it won't be as restrictive as in the Central Plains."

Rouge's nose was sour, and there was some crying in her voice.

"Then you won't go to Jiangnan?"

"Ah..." If he could really go to Mobei, Shen Cuo really didn't plan to go to Jiangnan again.

Even if she wanted to go, I'm afraid Liu Rongzhi would not allow it, so at most she could only send someone to send some money to Yan Zhi in return.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Cuo couldn't help but feel a little lucky - this was the first time she was lucky because of this incident.

"Shopkeeper Shen..."

Shen Cuo saw that Yan Zhi's eyes were red, and it was rare to comfort him: "I will go to Jiangnan to find you before going to Mobei. How can I be such an ungrateful person?"

According to Si Ming, Rouge is her lucky star, since it is destined, it is impossible to cut it off so easily.

When Yanzhi heard this, she burst into laughter immediately, showing a childlike air that is rarely seen on weekdays.

"That's really great, I can still meet shopkeeper Shen."

Shen Cuo's original depression was swept away by Rouge's smile, and the previous melancholy and loss gradually faded away, and joy and joy arose instead.

She does miss the past, but the present isn't all bad.At least she was really happy when she met Rouge.
