King Qi woke up.

When Zhan Zhao and the others rushed to King Qi's bedroom, the other party was talking with his servant.He was still lying on the bed, his voice was weak, and sometimes he would touch the wound and make him hum softly.

The servant took a look at the person, approached King Qi respectfully and said, "King Qi, Lord Kaifeng Mansion Zhan is here."

Zhan Zhao walked over and saluted King Qi within sight of him.

Ding Yuehua and Shen Chuyi retreated to the side and did not step forward.

King Qi smiled at Zhan Zhao and said, "Master Zhan, there is no need to be too polite."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and asked with concern, "How does King Qi feel now?"

"Although it hurts, I feel very lucky..." As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze from Zhan Zhao, looked at the curtain above the bed, his thoughts drifted away, "I thought I was going to die at the time, but luckily I survived."

"Did King Qi see the assassin?"

King Qi nodded, his eyes darkened slightly: "No."

"No?" Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, obviously he was being stabbed head-on...

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Then did you see the other figure?"

"I can't remember clearly." King Qi closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired.

"So..." Zhan Zhao frowned, stared at the person on the bed, and continued, "Uncle Song saw a suspicious person."

"Uncle Song saw it?" King Qi was a little excited when he said this.And his excitement obviously touched the wound, and he grinned in pain.

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded.

King Qi didn't think much, and said, "Uncle Song probably misread it. The murderer had already escaped before I fell into a coma."

"King Qi doesn't even know who Uncle Song is talking about, so he just excuses him?" Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes, speaking with some irony.

King Qi sighed and said, "It's not an excuse, it's just telling the truth."

Zhan Zhao turned his head and glanced at Shen Chuyi, and the other party stepped forward knowingly, walked to the place where King Qi could see, and saluted: "See King Qi."

Suddenly there was a woman's voice, which made Qi Wang slightly stunned.He turned his head and saw a woman in pink standing beside Zhan Zhao.The lights were dim at night, and the reflection of the woman's face was somewhat blurred.But the other party's eyes were shining brightly.

King Qi was slightly startled, but he was overjoyed: "It's you!"

Once again, he referred to his own injury.But this time, he didn't make a sound because of the pain, he just frowned.

Shen Chuyi said "ah", then pointed to himself: "King Qi knows me?"

King Qi nodded and said, "You saved me, of course I know you!"

Shen Chu felt that he had gone from hell to heaven in an instant.God, this is finally someone telling the truth!

"King Qi was conscious at that time?" Zhan Zhao asked.

King Qi nodded: "I was calling for help, and I saw this girl appearing in front of me... At that time, I was thinking, is it a fairy in the sky..."

Being praised as a fairy, Shen Chu blushed, a little shy, but also quite happy.

"King Qi praised you absurdly." Shen Chuyi said, "I didn't do anything, I just took some small measures to stop the bleeding of King Qi."

"It turned out that Little Sister Shen helped King Qi stop the bleeding." Bai Yutang leaned against the door frame and said with great interest.

I don't know when he came back and how long he has been listening here.

Zhan Zhao didn't react much, just waiting for him to continue.

"When I came to see King Qi before, I heard from the imperial physician that if he hadn't taken timely measures to stop the bleeding, King Qi's life might not be saved." Bai Yutang spread his hands and laughed, "I thought it was Song Bo who did it. , it seems that he misunderstood the savior as a murderer."

"Thank you, miss." Hearing Bai Yutang's words, King Qi said immediately.

Shen Chuyi quickly waved his hands and said embarrassedly, "I really can't help you."

Sometimes, the twists are just that funny.The first second was still the target of public criticism, and the next second he became a lifesaver.So, people don't give up on themselves.Good people will be rewarded, it's just a matter of time.

"The girl is really like a fairy..." King Qi looked at Shen Chuyi and said slowly.

Shen Chuyi felt as if he was being praised as floating in the sky.

"What King Qi means is that Miss Shen is not a suspect?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Indeed."

"Uncle Song also firmly insisted that this is the murderer."

As Zhan Zhao spoke, he smiled, the kind that didn't smile on the surface.

King Qi was stunned, probably because he remembered something, the gentle color on his face became heavy.Ease, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's a misunderstanding."

"King Qi really didn't see the murderer?" Zhan Zhao asked again.

King Qi nodded.

"But Miss Shen saw it." Zhan Zhao looked at Shen Chuyi and said slowly.

Shen Chuyi immediately understood, coughed, and said, "Yes, when I heard King Qi calling for help, I saw the murderer running away in a panic."

If Zhan Zhao wanted to deceive King Qi, she would definitely cooperate.

"Really." King Qi was very calm this time and didn't say much.

"So King Qi must have seen the murderer." Shen Chuyi approached the bed, looked him in the eyes, and paused every word, "Otherwise, how could you see me who came later?"

King Qi looked into Shen Chuyi's eyes and fell silent.

Slowly, he sighed and admitted: "I saw it."

Closing his eyes, he continued.

"As for the murderer, I will deal with it, and the Kaifeng government will not pursue it."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows lightly, probably guessing what King Qi was thinking.

If correct, the murderer is Song Zhiyong.King Qi wanted to protect Uncle Song, and Uncle Song wanted to excuse him because it was his son...but they didn't expect that Song Zhiyong would die.

Thinking about it, Zhan Zhao said in a flat tone, "Song Zhiyong is dead."

King Qi was startled, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe it: "Why, why?"

Zhan Zhao said: "On the surface, he committed suicide in fear of crime."

"How could it be..." King Qi's eyes drooped slightly, but he still felt unbelievable, so he turned to ask the servant who had been guarding: "Is that so?"

The servant sighed and nodded: "Return to master, he hanged himself."

King Qi opened his mouth, obviously he hasn't recovered yet.

"Then... what about Uncle Song?"

It was Zhan Zhao who answered him.

"Uncle Song fainted from grief, otherwise why wouldn't he appear here?"

King Qi tilted his head to the inside, and said softly, "I just came back, why are there so many things..."

"King Qi, the murderer must be Song Zhiwei."

King Qi took a deep breath and nodded: "It's him."

"Do you know why?"

"He said, as long as I'm here, Uncle Song won't be able to see him..."

"Zhiyong has always had a grudge against me, but I didn't expect him to be so extreme..." King Qi continued, "I didn't expect him to kill me. So when I saw him, I didn't resist. At that time I I still want to catch up with him, it’s been a long time, and I also want to know about his changes..."

"I don't know what happened when I was away, why everything is different when I close my eyes and open them..."

"The world is impermanent." In the end, Shen Chuyi made a summary for him.

King Qi looked at Shen Chuyi with complicated emotions in his eyes.After a long time, he said, "Give him a good burial."

King Qi needed to rest, several people left the bedroom, but no one was ready to leave Prince Qi's mansion.

The assistants and servants from Kaifeng Mansion have arrived and are in Song Zhiwei's room.

Having seen the room just now, Zhan Zhao is not going to go again.Bai Yutang hadn't been there before, so he went to have a look.

Zhan Zhao leaned directly on the red pillar outside King Qi's gate, and said to Ding Yuehua and Shen Chuyi, "It's late at night, and Zhan will ask the guards to send you two back later."

"Brother Zhan, what about you?" Ding Yuehua asked.

Zhan Zhao smiled, and said: "The matter here is not over for King Qi." Then, he raised his head, looked at the moon like a sickle in the sky, and continued, "The person who really wants to kill King Qi is still hiding in the dark." dark place."

"Then I'll accompany Big Brother Zhan." Ding Yuehua said.

"There's no need to do that, go back and have a good rest." Zhan Zhao said, "You can't help me with anything here."

Ding Yuehua fell silent.

What Zhan Zhao said was true, but she felt a little lost.

She can't help him with anything, but she wants to do something...

Sighing, Ding Yuehua could only agree.

Zhan Zhao looked at Shen Chuyi again, and the latter opened his mouth when he saw Zhan Zhao looking at him, "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly called him.

"Girl? Miss Shen?"

Shen Chuyi looked puzzled, and saw that it was the servant who had been guarding King Qi.

The other party smiled at Shen Chu and said, "Girl, King Qi wants to talk to you."

Shen Chuyi was taken aback: "With me?"

The servant nodded.

"Now?"

The other party continued to nod.

Shen Chuyi looked at Zhan Zhao in confusion, and the latter also frowned, but still said, "Since King Qi has invited you, let's go."

She nodded and followed the servant into the house.

Inside the room, King Qi's eyes were open, but he was staring at the curtain blankly.

Just as Shen Chuyi was about to say something, the servant saw him in and was about to close the door and leave.Shen Chuyi became anxious and immediately asked, "Hey, why did you leave?"

King Qi turned his head because of her words, his dull eyes suddenly brightened, he smiled at her and said, "I want to chat with the girl alone."

After hearing these words, Shen Chuyi didn't speak, and just watched the servant close the door.

She glanced at King Qi wonderingly, not understanding why he made such arrangements.

Probably because he knew Shen Chuyi's inner doubts, King Qi said: "When I saw the girl for the first time, I thought she was a fairy sent by God to save me."

Uh... King Qi, you just said this sentence...

"When I first met the girl, my feeling has not changed. Although it is not the same as when I first met, but now you make me want to get closer."

"So, I think, in front of girls, I should be able to speak freely."

Shen Chuyi was a little uncomfortable, coughed and said, "What does King Qi want to say?"

"Girl sit."

Shen Chuyi sat down in response.

King Qi looked into her eyes, and slowly said, "The girl's eyes make me feel very familiar..."

He lowered his voice and murmured softly.

"It's like... like a mother..."

Shen Chuyi was still flustered just now, thinking that King Qi must be secretly in love with him, but now when he heard the sentence "like a mother", he instantly felt cold water poured down.Since the other party didn't mean that, she relaxed a little.She didn't know anything about King Qi.So when I heard other people talking about my mother, they still used this sad expression, and they probably guessed a thing or two.

After thinking about it, Shen Chuyi said, "King Qi misses your mother very much."

King Qi nodded without hiding anything, and said bluntly: "I have no relatives now. Brother Huang is a righteous brother. Although Uncle Song is kind to me, he has no blood relationship..."

"King Qi's words are wrong." Shen Chuyi said, "They are all your relatives."

"It's not that they are related by blood, they are relatives."

Shen Chuyi's voice softened a little, as if comforting a child.

"Dear ones, it's not about blood, it's about feelings. Life and death are shared, and they are treated as their own. Isn't this called relatives?"

"King Qi, you are not alone."

Listening to Shen Chuyi's words, King Qi pursed his lips and nodded, "Well, yes... I'm very lucky. Although I don't have parents, I have an elder brother and Uncle Song..."

"Besides them, you have friends." Shen Chuyi said.

"Friend?" King Qi was a little confused, and turned to ask Shen Chuyi, "What counts as a friend?"

"Then I have to ask you." Shen Chuyi said, "Prince Qi, what you treat with sincerity is a friend."

"Then I really have it." King Qi smiled, his eyes rolled around, and finally looked at Shen Chuyi, and said, "Miss Shen, are you willing...to be my friend?"

King Qi's eyes were fixed on Shen Chuyi, full of anticipation.

Shen Chuyi thought it was funny, and she thought: Why refuse such a request.

He opened his mouth, very sure.

"of course."

King Qi's eyes curled up with a smile, and he said, "I've been to many places and met many people... I probably have many friends, but this is the first time I'm asking someone like this."

"Why did King Qi go to those places? Isn't it good to stay in Bianliang?"

"Just like it."

Shen Chu of the Qi Dynasty blinked and continued.

"I follow my own mind, as long as I am happy."

"In fact, many people advised me to live in Bianliang, and I was prepared to do so at the beginning. But... I am not happy. People, I just want to live happily, right? If I go against my will, Or being controlled by others, how uncomfortable it would be..."

Shen Chuyi was a little stunned for a moment when he heard King Qi's words.

She thought about his words for a long time before she said: "King Qi, you are right."

King Qi yawned, looking a little tired, eyes filled with tears, looked at each other and murmured: "We are friends now, so don't call me King Qi anymore. My name is Zhao Qingshi, you can call me Qingshi. "

"Shen Chuyi." She nodded and returned to him.

"Well, the first day of junior high school."

As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Seeing that his eyes had been closed, Shen Chu smiled wordlessly.

Slowly, she tilted her head, glanced at the closed room, and asked softly.

"According to your own will..."

At the door of the house, a red shadow stands out.

Shen Chuyi closed King Qi's door and stepped closer.The other party heard the movement and looked back at her.With four eyes facing each other, Shen Chuyi felt his heart beat a little faster.

Her eyes rolled around, and she asked casually, "Where's Miss Ding?"

"Going back with the guards." Zhan Zhao folded his arms, tilted his head, and asked her, "What did you say to King Qi?"

"I didn't say anything." Shen Chuyi stretched his waist and said, "It's just that King Qi wants more friends."

Zhan Zhao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Chuyi stood beside him and didn't intend to speak.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said, "It's getting dark, Zhan will ask his fifth younger brother to send the girl off later."

Shen Chuyi smiled: "Whatever you want."

"It may take a while." Zhan Zhao said.

"Then I'll accompany Mr. Zhan." Shen Chu took a look at him and said it as a matter of course.

I don't know if it was because of the chat with King Qi just now, but she suddenly felt that she should be generous.Since she is sure that she likes Zhan Zhao, then...she wants to present herself well, so why do she have to tweak it?

Whether it is Ding Yuehua, or there are more A, B, C, Ding, it doesn't seem to matter.

I like it, it's my own feeling...

Zhan Zhao glanced at her, his face turned red, but he smiled, "Okay."

His voice was very soft, as soft as a whisper in his ear.

At night, everything seemed silent.

The two stood side by side, as if they could hear each other's breathing.

"Miss Shen."

Suddenly, he broke the silence and called her.

Shen Chuyi raised his head to look at him.

Zhan Zhao didn't look at her, but looked at the crescent moon in the sky.

"Miss Shen, we are still standing if we stand, why don't you tell me the rumors?"

Well, her guide words have become "meals" to accompany the walk...

"What does Mr. Zhan want to hear?"

"You and I, let's talk about Miss Shen."

"My business?" Shen Chuyi was a little surprised.

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao glanced down at her, then quickly retracted, and said, "I want to hear about Miss Shen, either myself or my hometown."

Suddenly, she thought of the sentence he suggested to tell the story when she came here--Yuehua first came to Bianliang, so let's talk about the Kaifeng mansion.

But now, he said—you and I, let's talk about Miss Shen.

It turns out that "Yuehua first came to Bianliang" is not a premise, but a difference.

Zhan Zhao said that he wanted to hear about her...

My heart skipped a beat, my eyes were sour for no reason.

She raised her head and pretended to say, "Ah... so what can I say?"
