Chapter Thirty-Three: The Other Side of Concealment
The original reason why Zhao Lian committed suicide was because Shao Kefan arranged for her to stay in Jie Liu Palace, but at the same time, the protector gave her the love she needed most at this time. Jian Xin really didn't know what attitude to face in front of her.
people.
But after all, Protector already belongs to her, and he will not bother her again.
"Shao Kefan, you win." Jian Xin felt a little emotional, not knowing how to face this matter.
"With Zhao Lian's character, she will not commit suicide easily. I never expected this. If you want to say that I win, it is just a coincidence. If she doesn't do this, the guardian will definitely treat her coldly." Shao Kefan
Narrowing her eyebrows, thinking about the reason why Zhao Lian committed suicide,
Zhaolian's suicide was definitely not simply because of the cold reception.
"So, they are together, which is what you wanted. Are you happy now?" Jian Xin said angrily, not because they were together.
"I am a process-oriented person. If the process is unexpected and the result is what you want, then you lose. Besides, I thought that they might be together. Although this is not bad, my main purpose is to punish the protector." He
He didn't shy away from telling her his conspiracy.
"You still control his happiness, thanks to you for arranging Zhao Lian in Jie Liu Palace." Jian Xin took a deep breath to feel better.
"Master? If he doesn't like it, no matter how hard I force it, it won't help. This mainly depends on him."
Shao Kefan lay lazily on the seat and patiently responded to her accusation, "I heard that the protector was not affected by Zhao Lian before. He was not punished by my desire. This time, I did not win, but lost.
"
He laughed self-deprecatingly. "Now that I think about it, it would be the best outcome for them to be together sincerely, haha."
"Treacherous." Jian Xin curled her lips.
"I said, you don't feel bad anymore, do you?"
"Shao Kefan, don't blaspheme my sincerity."
Jian Xin patted the armrest of the seat and stood up, with an angry look on his face.
"Really? Then...you don't mind if I give Yaka a thoroughbred mare, right?"
Shao Kefan smiled jokingly but sadly, stretched out his hand lazily, and the red sleeves retreated from the wrist to the elbow, revealing a fair but strong arm. He grabbed her hand, and with a strong force, she fell into his arms.
.
"What? Give Yaka a mare? It's a horse that can turn into a human form." Jian Xin looked at the face that came close to her in disbelief, as if it was ridiculous to give a mare to a grown man.
"It can take the form of a human, but don't forget, it is originally a horse." Shao Kefan had a confident smile on his lips that showed he was in control of everything.
"I mind, I don't agree. Yaka is my horse, I have the final say." Jian Xin's eyes widened and she struggled in his arms.
"I'm just joking, why should you take it seriously."
"Huh, I'm not a sensitive person! You mean it, don't think I can't see it."
Jian Xin pushed him, expecting him to hold her tighter like before, but he immediately let go of her and stood up.
"You..." She was embarrassed and angry.
"I'm going to investigate a matter. You must not go to other countries again." Shao Kefan turned around and walked out the door.
"Where are you going to check? I'm going too." Jian Xin followed behind.
"Don't worry, we'll check it in the palace."
Before he finished speaking, he used invisibility and his figure disappeared at the threshold.
Suffering from the fact that she didn't know the invisibility technique, she couldn't find him even if she looked for him, so she stamped her feet and sat back on the chair.
He hid it from her again.
Shao Kefan's figure first appeared in Jie Liu Hall. Not far from the gate, there was a large pool of solidified blood. Although there were no scented flowers in the water in the bathtub, it could be seen that it had been used.
In the bedroom, there was a piece of pink clothing thrown randomly on the floor. When I picked it up and took a closer look, I saw that there was nothing special about it, but the style was too ordinary. Although Zhao Lian was not particular about dressing up, he would not like to see someone like this.
The clothes, it seemed, were probably worn by the maid.
Shao Kefan frowned and soon appeared in Fuhan Hall. When he saw someone, he lay on the wooden beams above the hall and looked down. There were several slaves standing at the door of the hall. In the bedroom, Zhao Lian was lying on the bed.
, the protector was feeding her chicken soup.
There was nothing unusual in Fu Han Palace, so where she went today is probably the key, otherwise the pink dress would not be able to explain, Zhao Lian is not a rough woman.
After inquiring, I found out that Zhao Lian had appeared in the mausoleum. Could it be possible... A guess formed in Shao Kefan's mind.
I quietly entered the mausoleum prince's bedroom. The bed was neatly folded, but it seemed to have been newly put on. There was a long-lasting damp smell, and the floor was clean.
When I looked around, I saw that the mausoleum king was pacing back and forth in the main hall with a sad expression.
Shao Kefan reluctantly observed it again, but still found nothing wrong, frowned, and left the bedroom.
However, under a tree in the back garden of the mausoleum, the loose and then trampled soil caught his attention. When he pulled up the soil, he found torn clothes and bloody sheets. The clothes were also pink, but the texture was just
Much better.
All the abnormalities were strung together, allowing him to immediately understand what had happened.
However, what puzzled him was that although King Ling was sinister and treacherous, he was also a clean and honest man in this regard, how could he do such a dirty thing.
Finally, I know the general story of what happened. As for the details, I am not a person who has experienced it personally, so I don’t know and there is nothing I can do about it.
But he really wanted to know why Prince Ling raped Zhao Lian.
The days are long, so go back first, otherwise the girl may disappear again.
Shao Kefan trampled the soil back to its original state. When he saw a few patrolling guards approaching the pavilion, he hurriedly left invisibly. Fortunately, a shorter tree blocked his figure, otherwise, someone would have discovered the king sneaking into the mausoleum.
The garden behind the palace is not a good thing.
Returning to Yiwei Hall, the girl who had not been seen for a while, as if it had been three autumns, hurriedly greeted him and asked him what he was doing.
Shao Kefan was about to tell her the truth of the matter, but then he thought, the less people know about it, the better.
"Actually, I just went to Qiming Palace to deal with some matters, that's all." He picked her up and said, "Miss me?"
"You lied to me again, don't think I'm easy to lie to." She became angry and hit him hard, aiming at the exposed chest.
"Haha, lie? Just rely on your random thoughts to accuse me?" He spun upwards, his red clothes lifted up, and she in his arms seemed to be sleeping on a blooming flower.
Su Man raised her head, so shocked by the beauty of the scene that she couldn't move even though she had long been accustomed to the entanglement between the two.
"Tell me, I want to know." Jian Xin hugged his neck intoxicated, her voice softened.
"I don't want hard food, so you have soft food, right?" Shao Kefan looked at her affectionately, unable to hide a gentle smile.
"I...you refused to tell me anything, which makes me sad."
"But, it's best if you don't know about this matter. Shao Kefan looked very embarrassed.
"Will it bring any trouble to you and me?" Jian Xin asked worriedly.
"Won't."
"Then I need to know." She said more firmly.
That time when he went to Yingzhi, she accidentally entered a foreign country while looking for him and suffered a lot. However, no matter how she pressed after they got together, he was unwilling to reveal the truth.
Why he went to Eagle's Place was still a mystery to her.
He only asked her to practice the Ten Forms of Puyuan diligently.
"Do you think things other than disasters are good things?"
Landing gently, he put her down and sat on the seat, "Don't embarrass me."
"Okay. Actually, you don't regard me as yours at all, otherwise you wouldn't always hide it from me." Jian Xin gave a heavy "hum".
"Can't you be considerate of me?" Shao Kefan put his hand on his temple, frowned, and lowered his head slightly, "You are always like this, I'm a little dizzy."
Jian Xin looked at him blankly, then realized that she was always vindictive and resented her differences in values, and had never understood him well.
He is the Cang Teng Monarch, so naturally he has many secrets that cannot be known to others, even the woman he loves most.
"Then... you can say whatever you want from now on. I won't force you if you don't want to." Her voice dropped obviously because of guilt.
"Between you and me, my feelings for you are absolutely exclusive, and I promise not to betray you. You'd better not care about the rest." Shao Kefan raised her chin, and the first sentence was gentle, and the second sentence was sharp.
"Is it because I'm not smart enough to work with you?"
Jian Xin asked what he had been holding back for a long time.
He shook his head and chuckled, "Silly girl, you've always wanted to ask this question, right?"
"Ah, you know this." She looked at him in surprise, secretly guessing how high his IQ was.
"I'll tell you the answer now." He hugged her lovingly.
"Because I want to keep you intact and not let you become incomplete due to various conspiracies and calculations."
Jian Xin was even more shocked. It turned out that he valued the perfection of personality so much, but he couldn't help himself.
If he were like her, he might have died thousands of times.
She reflected on herself that apart from practicing martial arts, she had not learned any tricks or scheming. However, this was exactly his hard work.
"I hope you will always be like you are now and not change. At most... restrain your temper, because my hands may be itchy."
Shao Kefan exerted a little force on her hand, and several red marks immediately appeared on her arms, which quickly disappeared.
"I don't believe you killed me." Jian Xin reached under his armpit and tickled him playfully.
"Ouch, you..." Shao Kefan shrank his upper body, and part of his red coat slipped off, revealing his chiseled shoulders. Although he was as white as a woman, he was full of masculinity.
He couldn't stand this and quickly sealed her acupuncture points.
"Are you still playing?" He teased her in a victor's tone, inserting his hands into her armpits but not moving.
"No, just let me go, wuwu..." Jian Xin cried with a sad face. That feeling was really uncomfortable.
"Oh? But you haven't been punished yet..."
"As long as you don't scratch me, you can punish me in any way you want."
Shao Kefan smiled slyly and opened her acupuncture points, "From your martial arts moves, I can see that you can dance. Dance for me."
That’s it! She thought he was going to do that kind of thing in broad daylight again!
Although she had been a good dancer since childhood and learned several ancient dances in college, she had never danced in front of him.
A trace of shyness appeared on her face, and when she saw Su Man looking at her encouragingly, she gained courage.
Recall what you have learned and dance gracefully.
Shao Kefan's eyes were soft, flashing with surprise from time to time.
After the dance ended, Jian Xin lay on the ground and slowly stood up.
"So beautiful!" he praised.
"You want to dance too." She wanted to know what this cold, wealthy man looked like when he danced.
"Haha, I only know how to kill people." Shao Kefan's tone suddenly cooled down.
"A guy who is unpredictable." Jian Xin curled her lips, she was used to it.
