The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 515 The Princess Who Was Widowed Early (8)
"It is I, the Song, who have been rude today. I hope the Princess will forgive me."
Song Weicheng bowed. Shi Yi lightly raised his eyelids to glance at him, as if he had been acquitted. He said in a lukewarm tone, "Sir Song, it's time for me to take me back, right?"
"Of course."
Song Weicheng raised his hand to make way. Shi Yi turned sideways to glance at him, and said with a fake smile, "Sir Song, why are you going to keep me in suspense? I am very tired today."
Seeing that she called herself "this princess", it was obvious that she was dissatisfied. Song Weicheng did not delay any longer and led her to an alley. There was an inconspicuous sedan parked in the alley, and the sedan bearer was already waiting by the side.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Princess." He personally lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and whispered in her ear, "They can't hear you, so no one will know your identity."
Shi Yi pushed him away without leaving a trace, got into the sedan chair and sat upright, saying lightly, "Thank you very much, Lord Song."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Song Weicheng waved to her the moment he lowered the curtain of the sedan chair, with a smile on his lips, "We will meet again."
"It's better not to see each other again."
The sedan chair set off, and the cold words were carried into his ears by the breeze, and his smile became even stronger.
Princess's Mansion, Qingfeng Cottage.
"I know, you can go back." Lan Yu turned his back to the man in black and burned the letter paper, with a more solemn look on his face.
"You are in Kyoto, you must not be careless. You must be careful in everything. Remember not to reveal the identity of the master, so as not to implicate the master." The man in black warned him again in a calm voice, as if he was worried about him.
"I know, you can leave." Lan Yu was also a little impatient. Others were not fools either. On the day he arrived at the Princess's Mansion, many noble officials were investigating his background. He was already overwhelmed by it.
"Remember, remember." The man in black climbed up the beam and disappeared into the room. Lan Yu took a deep breath. At this point, he was already in a difficult situation.
"What are you sighing about?" Shi Yi knocked on the door of his room. He then realized that he had not closed the door before in order to pay attention to the movements around him. He reacted belatedly and immediately stared at her face cautiously, worried that she already knew everything about him. In that case, everything he did would be in vain.
"Don't worry, I just arrived and I don't know anything." Shi Yi stepped over the threshold and walked in. He just breathed a sigh of relief, and Shi Yi immediately added gloatingly: "It's just that I saw a gentleman on the beam leaving here."
She still knew. For some reason, when he thought of this possibility, he calmed down strangely. He stared at her and said, "The princess came here to drive me away?"
Shi Yi shook his head and sat on the stool next to him. He said gently, "Am I such an unreasonable person?"
"That's it?" He was suspicious. Could it be that she came here to ask questions? He must not reveal the master behind him.
"Relax. I have no intention of knowing the complicated things behind you. I just want to cooperate with you briefly during this period of time." Shi Yi rolled up his sleeves to reveal his fair wrists, and filled his teacup personally, "I believe you will be interested."
"Really?" Lan Yu looked at her, half-doubtingly, "Since you already know that I approach you with ill intentions, why do you still want to?"
"So I came to seek common interests with you." Shi Yi filled most of the tea in the teacup before handing it to him, smiling gently, "Full wine is a respect, full tea is a refreshment. I really want to cooperate with you."
Lan Yu took the teacup and swayed it in the palm of his hand, his eyes fluctuating with emotions, "You make the conditions first."
"For you, it's very simple." Shi Yi stared into his eyes, as if to see into the depths of his eyes.
Lan Yu avoided it somewhat unnaturally, "You speak first."
"Stay in the mansion, don't walk around casually." Shi Yi retracted his gaze, his eyes stayed on the exquisitely crafted teapot, with a cold face, "Wait for some time, we will all know whether it is a human or a ghost."
"Do I have room to refuse?" Lan Yu smiled stiffly. Shi
Yi really thought about it seriously for a long time before answering him, "No."
"I know." People under the eaves have to bow their heads. What's more, she already knows most of his things, and he has lost the initiative. Or rather, his initiative was completely lost the moment he took the initiative to approach her.
"Don't worry, I will let you go free after I get what I want." Shi Yi stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of his mouth, making a smiling expression, "Come on, be happy, temporary difficulties can be overcome."
"Oh." Lan Yu's attitude was cold. The moment her hand left his face, he no longer wanted to pretend.
He is also a human being, an upright person. Just because he had a face that looked like others, he had to do these things he didn't want to do. He felt angry, sad, and even aggrieved.
"Your safety can be guaranteed." Before leaving, Shi Yi looked back at him and said meaningfully, "Only those who I want to let in can come in."
"Yeah." Lan Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the light green tea in the teacup in his hand. When will he be able to gain true freedom in his life? He brought the teacup to his lips, sniffed it for a moment, and then poured it all on the ground.
"Strengthen the security in the mansion, and no one is allowed to come in." Shi Yi, walking on the flower path, gave orders to the secret agents.
The flowers in the circle have been blooming beautifully recently, red, pink, purple, and blue, like a sea of flowers. Unfortunately, there are not many people who really appreciate them.
"Pull them out. Plant fruit trees for me." Shi Yi pinched off the rose closest to her, her eyes so calm that no one could tell whether she was happy or angry. "The best things are the ones that can be eaten."
"Yes." The housekeeper who was still tending to the flowers and plants obeyed, feeling that her master's aura was much stronger than before. Also, the master has changed a lot. The flowers in this garden were all planted by the prince consort himself when he was alive. In the past, she loved this sea of flowers more than anyone else in the mansion, and even her occasional tending would be disliked.
Could it be that the master is afraid of being reminded of someone else by the sight of the flowers? Or is it that with the replacement of new people, the previous people and things are no longer needed?
As Shi Yi walked along the flower path, her sharp nails also left scars on the flowers along the way. When she reached the end of the flower path, she suddenly thought of the little boy in the abandoned palace.
Let's take this gamble.
Someone has to win, why not her?
She has made up her mind.
"Prepare some food that is easy to store, and some clothes for the children. No, no clothes."
