After the subjugation of the country, she became the favorite concubine of the enemy

After the spring hunting was over, Shen Chen and Ling Xiche had just returned to the palace with their front feet, when they sneaked out again overnight, avoiding everyone just like last time.

Shen Chen claimed to the outside world that because he suffered from the cold on the road and was tired from the journey, he took a rest for a few days to recuperate. In fact, he and Ling Xiche went to Yedi in subdued clothes again.

Ling Xiche and Shen Chen still went to the hotel where they stayed last time, this time it was Ling Xiche who decisively told the waiter to ask for a room.

I ordered two dishes at random, and it was already dark when I went upstairs after eating.

Shen Chen took off his outer shirt and prepared to go to bed.

"Xi Che, there is still work to do tomorrow, so let's rest earlier."

Looking at all this, Ling Xiche was in a daze for a moment.It seems that he has already experienced all this long ago, but he just had a dream, and in the dream he returned to this time, the moment he wanted to return to.

Before, he was very indifferent to telling Shen Chen not to think about it, but now, he didn't know why, but there were waves of ominous premonitions in his heart.

It's as if the present beauty will soon disintegrate with just a light touch, leaving nothing left.

Ling Xiche walked over and hugged Shen Chen from behind.Holding him like this made me feel a little more at ease.

Shen Chen turned around to look at him, Ling Xiche's eyes were still shallow, but Shen Chen always felt that there was sadness hidden under the water of the lake at this moment.

"Xi Che, what's wrong?"

Ling Xiche hugged him and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Chen'er, I'm here, and I really understand your mind, and I also truly understand my own mind, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, I will never forget it in this life."

Ling Xiche hugged him and whispered in his ear, "No matter what happens in the future, I hope you know that I don't regret it, and I don't regret all the time I spent with you."

"The future will be fine, and I will protect you."

Ling Xiche said softly, "You were right in saying something before. In this life, only if you live this life well, you will not regret it. We still have time now, and I want to cherish every moment now, and the time I spent with you every moment."

"Xi Che..."

Ling Xiche took the initiative to kiss him, unbuttoned his clothes, and finally fell asleep in his embrace, in a turmoil.

No matter what the future holds, at least the present is worth remembering.

The next day, Shen Chen and Ling Xiche went to Ling Xiche's original residence.

The last time he came here, Shen Chen wanted to take Ling Xiche back to his original mansion, but he was unwilling to go. This time, as soon as he returned to Yedi, Ling Xiche took the initiative to take Shen Chen to his mansion.

Cobwebs had formed on the plaque of the mansion, and the gate was rusted because no one had touched it for a long time.

Ling Xiche pushed open the door of the mansion, and walked in with Shen Chen.

No one lived in the house for a long time, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the swing that Ling Qiyuan used to like most in the yard was also broken.

Shen Chen was also a little shocked when he saw the messy courtyard. At that time, he was ordered not to have sex after the victory. Maybe it was because all the people in the Ling Mansion left at that time, so someone went in.

"Xi Che, I, I didn't know that this would happen, don't worry, I will find out who did it after I get back, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

Ling Xiche shook his head, "No need, it's meaningless."

Ling Xiche walked towards the ancestral hall, and Shen Chen silently followed behind him.

The gates of the ancestral hall were all torn down, Ling Xiche bent down and wiped the broken part of the gate, a thick layer of dust had accumulated, it could not have been broken recently.

Walking in, the tablet was thrown on the ground in a mess.

Shen Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only walk to him and accompany him silently.

Ling Xiche walked around behind the tablet, where the family tree of the Ling family was placed.He checked it carefully, and the dust accumulation near the box where the family tree was placed was normal, and no one must have looked at it yet.

Ling Xiche picked up the family tree and handed it to Shen Chen.

"Find a place where no one is around, and burn it for me."

Shen Chen took the genealogy and flipped through it. Ling Xiche didn't have any cousins, so once someone saw this genealogy, his identity would definitely be suspected.

"Xi Che, maybe we can keep it so that no one can see it."

Ling Xiche said shallowly, "It's not necessary, let's burn it."

Shen Chen stopped talking and put away the genealogy.

"Then what shall we do next?"

Ling Xiche thought for a while and said, "If they want to investigate me, on the one hand, I am not familiar with the place here, and on the other hand, the Ling family has long since disappeared, so it is not easy to investigate, so the speed is bound to be much slower than ours, so we There is still time to do something. Shen Chen, if you were the one who came to investigate my background, where would you start?"

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "If I believe that you have something to do with the Ling family, then I will first come to the old house of the Ling family to see if I can find any clues. The servants in the ri, it is best to stay for a long time, and ask them about the situation."

Just as Shen Chen finished speaking, footsteps came from outside, and Ling Xiche quickly pulled him into hiding.

The man wandered around in the ancestral hall, and finally came to the box that originally contained the family tree, and stopped.

Ling Xiche and Shen Chen, who were hiding aside, breathed as lightly as possible, and Shen Chen held the dagger at his waist with one hand.

The man looked around again, seeing nothing, and left.When he turned to go out, Shen Chen saw his face clearly.

"Xi Che, I've seen him before."

"Who is he?"

"It's Xu Guang's confidant."

Ling Xiche came out from the hiding place, and said shallowly, "What you just said is right, he can't find him here, then he will definitely try to find the insider from back then."

Shen Chen also came over, "Who will he go to? Shall we find the person he will go to in advance?"

Ling Xiche turned around and smiled playfully, "That's too passive, we can turn passive into active."

"What the hell do you have in mind?"

"You'll find out later."

Ling Xiche took Shen Chen to find an old nanny who had worked in the Ling Mansion for many years. Shen Chen came forward and gave her a lot of money, and taught her a set of stories about the life of Concubine Mei of the Ling family in Duanguo. After talking, let her go to the market to buy flowers, melons and fruits, and go to different shops, but she must tell the shopkeepers that she bought them to visit the grave of General Ling and his wife.

The old mama did what Shen Chen said, and Shen Chen and Ling Xiche followed her not far away.

Finally, someone went to talk to the old mama, and Ling Xiche and the others were watching from a stall not far away.

That person was not Xu Guang's confidant whom he saw earlier, but another strange man.

Ling Xiche and Shen Chen exchanged glances.

"Who is he? Have you seen him?"

Shen Chen shook his head, "I probably haven't seen it before."

Seeing that the man was about to leave, Ling Xiche pulled Shen Chen to follow.The two of them followed him around several streets, during which he stopped to whisper a few words with the owner of a certain shop, and finally stopped by a tea stand, where Xu Guang's subordinates whom he had seen before were sitting on the stand Drinking tea, the man walked over, naturally chose the seat next to him and sat down, and also ordered a cup of tea.

Shen Chen asked Ling Xiche in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Ling Xiche didn't speak, but continued to watch.

The raw-faced man started to talk, "It's really hot this day."

Xu Guang's subordinates just responded without saying anything.

The man said again, "Hey, time flies, it has been so long since the Kingdom of Ye was subjugated. Today I passed by the Ling Mansion back then, thinking about how magnificent it was back then, but now... hey, Ling Mansion back then Those who are still alive in the mansion have also gone their separate ways."

Xu Guang's subordinates were drawn to the attention, "Do you know people from the Ling Mansion back then?"

"Just now I met an old lady who said she was from Ling's mansion back then, and she was buying melons and fruits to pay homage to General Ling and his wife." He pointed to the front, "I just met on the street ahead."

Xu Guang's subordinates got up when they heard the words, and walked in the direction he pointed.

Shen Chen looked confused, and asked Ling Xiche who was beside him, "What's going on?"

Ling Xiche said with a serious expression, "It seems that many things are not as simple as they appear."

"whats the matter?"

Ling Xiche turned to look at Shen Chen with sharp eyes, "Shen Chen, that person just now is probably not from the Xu family."

"Then who is he?"

"You think, it was Mrs. Xu who was inquiring about my identity. That person had a clue just now, and he told Mrs. Mrs. Xu which direction to look for by hinting. He didn't express it, but it was because he didn't want to expose himself. He's not Mrs. Xu. He helped Mr. Xu investigate things that are not good for me, that is, things that are likely to be bad for you, and they must not be on your side."

Shen Chen's back was a little chilled by what he said, "Now Duanuo's forces are actually two, my side and Xu's side, you mean, he is..."

"People from Zhao Kingdom."

Seeing that Shen Chen was stunned, Ling Xiche patted his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Although the weather has started to heat up, Shen Chen's palms felt a little cold, "Zhaoguo...Mr. Xu just started to investigate, so they already know?"

Ling Xiche said in a cold voice, "Unless they have been paying attention to Mrs. Xu, paying attention to Mrs. Xu's every move, and even manipulating Mrs. Xu's every move. If that's the case, I'm afraid your quarrel with Mrs. Xu will be theirs." No small credit."

"Yes, yes?"

Ling Xiche continued to say coldly, "If this is the case, it means that Yu Chirui is a deeper and more difficult person than I originally imagined."

Shen Chen didn't feel any fear of his opponent until this time.

He had heard Ling Xiche say many times before that he had to be careful of Yu Chirui, he was not simple, but Shen Chen always went in one ear and out the other, and always felt that Ling Xiche was too cautious.Until then, he witnessed how quickly Zhaoguo's spies got a piece of news in Duanguo, and how well he was able to control the development of a matter. Only then did he really realize that that opponent might be a terrifying opponent.

Just as he was thinking, Ling Xiche reached out and hugged him tightly.

"What's wrong? Are you scared? Chen'er, don't be afraid, I will protect you, even if it is death, I will use death to protect you one last time."

Shen Chen turned to look at him, he still had that indifferent expression.

"What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by using death to protect me one last time? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shen Chen raised his voice, and several passers-by around turned to look at him.

Ling Xiche didn't expect him to react so strongly, so he pulled him, "Don't get excited, I just said it casually, I just feel that what I said can represent my heart."

Shen Chen pulled him into his arms, and hugged him tightly, "Don't say such things in the future, do you hear me?"

"I heard." Ling Xiche replied honestly.

Shen Chen said firmly in Ling Xiche's ear, "If you die, I will not live alone."
