Chapter 4
Shen Yunchu knelt on the ground and swallowed nervously. The guard who dragged her up just now stood aside and silently pulled out the saber from his waist.

Shen Yunchu's heart tightened, and he immediately heard Bai Yuheng's voice: "Ha - I'm so entangled, this king hasn't ordered this Pang Yong yet, why draw a knife? Look, my wife is so scared."

"Susu is the same, I don't know how to say a word, but if you say that you didn't see anything, this king can let you go, why don't you say anything? How long will you kneel?"

At this time, Shen Yunchu suddenly didn't know whether to be afraid or to react in some other way. This kind of thing was so unreasonable that it was difficult for her to distinguish which one was the real Bai Yuheng.

Seeing the knife gradually approaching him, Shen Yunchu had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly said: "I don't know that His Royal Highness is watching the moon here, and I don't want to disturb you. My father has been waiting at the palace gate for a long time. If I can't wait for my daughter, I'm afraid I will be impatient. , Your Highness, please forgive me for the crime of disturbing my courtiers."

As she said, she slammed her head on the ground, and the knife in the hand of the guard at the side paused slightly. I have never seen a little girl with such a quick response. If she is killed now, Shen Jichang will not wait for anyone to become suspicious, but it will be troublesome. Think about it For a while, he looked at Bai Yuheng with some surprise or entanglement in his eyes.

Bai Yuheng stood in front of her, Shen Yunchu, with his hands behind his back, his face unabated, he raised his hand to pinch Shen Yunchu's chin, forcing her to raise her head, the ruthlessness on her face was not weak, thinking in her heart: "My daughter-in-law You're so clever." The words that came out of his mouth were: "How can you guarantee that you really only saw the moon tonight?"

Facing his cold eyes, Shen Yunchu was momentarily bewildered. She swallowed and forced herself to calm down, "Tonight, my daughter was taught the art of riding and archery by His Royal Highness the Princess. She has never left the side hall, so my father sent someone to After summoning, Cai, Cai set off alone, seeing only the moonlight shining on people along the way, patrolling constantly, and did not meet anyone else."

While she was talking, tears of terror had flowed down from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably. Bai Yuheng's eyes were dimmed and his complexion remained unchanged, but Shen Yunchu could clearly hear his heartfelt voice: "Oh, don't cry, you cry , I really can’t do anything anymore, so I won’t kill you for now, can’t I?”

Bai Yuheng pinched her chin, looked at her with deep eyes for a long time, but did not see the murderous intent in his eyes recede, during the long wait, Shen Yunchu was crying, but did not dare to speak out, the beseeching intent in his eyes , as if overflowing the eye sockets with the tears, I feel pity, it's hard not to feel compassion.

Bai Yuheng's heart softened, and he said: "Okay, okay, if you are willing to keep this secret honestly, I will not blame you. Why are you so scared? I really feel sorry for this king."

He gently opened her chin, losing support, Shen Yunchu fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, but the words he uttered were still cold, "Miss San is ice and snow smart, please remember what she said just now, if you come to Japan Hearing some unfavorable news, I'm afraid it will implicate Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen."

"Pang Yong, you personally send the third lady out of the palace, and you must watch the third lady leave the palace with your own eyes."

Pang Yong put the knife in its sheath, and bowed his hands to accept the order, "I obey." Immediately, he reached out and grabbed Shen Yunchu's arm, lifted her from the ground, and dragged her towards the palace gate.

Shen Yunchu walked alone on the corridor leading to the palace gate after leaving the palace, and Pang Yong hid in the dark and watched her leave.

Outside the palace gate, Shen Jichang had been waiting for a long time. The moment he saw Shen Yunchu coming out, he greeted him with relief, "Girl, why is it so late? Is there any delay?"

Shen Yunchu stood where he was, staring blankly at Shen Jichang. Along the way, the scene just now kept flashing in his mind, the old nanny who died with regret and the pair of shoes studded with gemstones and pearls.

She opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, and then her eyes went dark, and she passed out...

When Shen Yunchu regained consciousness, she was already in the general's mansion. She opened her eyes and looked at the familiar top of the bed. What happened last night was like a dream.

But the palm was wrapped in gauze, it should be the scratched hand when it fell to the ground last night, which reminded her: it was not a dream.

"Miss?" Xu Shi saw her open her eyes, and the maid who was guarding the side called tentatively, and Shen Yunchu came back to her senses.

This girl who is almost the same age as her is called Lin Lang, and she is a close servant girl who has been by her side since she was a child.

Shen Yunchu turned her head slowly, glanced around, the familiar environment reassured her, she struggled to get up, Lin Lang hurried forward to put a soft pillow on her, covered her with a quilt carefully, and brought a cup of hot water.

Looking at the cup that Lin Lang stuffed in her hand, she felt a little dazed for a moment, and looked out of the window. The sunlight was just right, she turned her head to look at Lin Lang, "What time is it now?"

Lin Lang replied, "It's almost noon, miss."

it's so late...

Shen Yunchu let out a long breath as if relieved from a heavy burden. Seeing that her complexion was not good, Lin Lang asked worriedly, "Miss, what happened to you? I heard from the master that you fainted before you came out of the palace."

Listening to Lin Lang's words, Bai Yuheng's warning words flashed in Shen Yunchu's mind. She silently clenched the cup in her hand, her heart was slightly flustered, and she forced her composure on her face, and replied, "It's nothing, it's just that it's hard to walk in the night, and I accidentally dropped it." Just a fall."

Looking at her master's pale face, Lin Lang didn't ask any more questions. She followed Shen Yunchu since she was a child, and knew that Shen Yunchu was afraid of the dark, and the road to the palace was complicated, and her vision was not good at night, so it's normal to fall.

Suddenly, Shen Yunchu thought of something again, she turned her head and looked at Lin Lang: "Where is my father?"

"Miss, don't worry, the master is narrating the story with the Prime Minister in the study." Lin Lang said, "The master said that the school has already asked the master for leave, so you can rest at home for a few days before going."

Shen Yunchu nodded thoughtfully, knowing that his father was fine, he felt relieved, then remembered to drink a sip of water, suppressing his shock.

By the time Shen Yunchu went to the school to attend classes with other aristocratic sisters as usual, about half a month had passed. In addition, she fell into the water a few months ago and rested for another month. Adding up the odds and ends, it was almost two months of delay. .

In the noisy classroom, the teacher who taught the class has not yet arrived, and a group of young girls of similar age are chatting and laughing together, occasionally there are a few shy or hearty laughter.

Each person is an independent desk, on which are placed different and untreated flowers and plants, which will be used in the flower arrangement class later.

Shen Yunchu sat alone in front of the desk, sorting out the things on the desk absent-mindedly. Suddenly, the girl's deliberately lowered voice came from behind, "If you want me to tell you, the one who killed Wei Chang is really evil."

When Shen Yun first heard the sound, the movements of his hands suddenly stopped, and his heartstrings were tensed immediately. The girl's voice paused slightly, and then she continued: "I just drowned in the water tank for no reason. How deep is the water tank? It's only up to your waist when you get up."

Everyone sighed for a while, and the timid ones could only cover their ears and plead softly: "Oh, don't talk about it, it's fine, why are you talking about this, I'm afraid I'm going to have another nightmare tonight."

"You are so timid." Someone teased.

In the laughter of several girls, this topic was skipped.

Shen Yunchu's tense heartstrings gradually relaxed, and suddenly, someone behind him called out: "Susu."

Shen Yunchu was startled like a frightened bird, and when he looked back, he met the man's puzzled eyes with a slightly flustered expression.

She is the daughter of Pei Shangshu's family, Pei Xueyan.

The eyes of the two met, Pei Xueyan wanted to say something to her, but seeing her like this, she stopped abruptly, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? You look so bad?"
