In fact, it was not Shen Qinghe who said nothing. When Si Nanyin summoned him the day before yesterday, he mentioned Gu Man. He did not care whether Shen Qinghe married Ning Ying or not, but he asked that the future queen candidate could not be Gu Man.

Shen Qinghe did not answer at the time, after all, he had no intention of becoming an emperor at all.

"The father probably wants to test whether you will not even want your life for me."

Gu Man really wants to say, "Isn't I just going to fall in love with you with my life now?"

"Okay! He is really idle."

Shen Qinghe took her into his arms and smiled and said, "Although your answer was beyond his expectations, I am very satisfied. No matter at any time, I hope you will survive. Of course, no matter when, I will protect you."

Gu Man nodded, but thought to himself, this time, I'm afraid I'll have to protect you.

At this time, a eunuch's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the Lord will summon him."

"Okay!" Shen Qinghe responded.

"Go, I'm back to the room too!" Gu Man said as she left his arms and prepared to open the door and leave.

Shen Qinghe held her hand: "I'll come to see you later!"

"Um……"

When Gu Man walked out the door, it was already dark. Her room was a bit remote. At this moment, all the servants in the house should have been called to the front hall to serve. On the way, she saw the maid who was passing on food one after another and heading towards the front hall.

When she opened the door, it was a little dark in the room, and she lit the candle.

The empty room was a bit old. Because it was an old house, there was a smell of musty smell. Compared with Shen Qinghe's room, it was like a horse shed. But she was just a follower at the moment, and it would be nice to have this single room.

Gu Man was lying on the hard bed and waiting for someone to deliver food. But it seemed that he would not be able to eat for a while.

She couldn't help but think of the task again, and felt uneasy.

At this time, the candlelight suddenly went out and darkness fell around. Gu Man sat up suddenly. She remembered that there was no window open, so there would naturally be no wind.

She quickly got up, took out the fire stick and prepared to light the candle again, but was suddenly hugged by someone from behind, scaring the fire stick in her hand to the ground, leaving only a little red Mars clearly extinguished in the dark.

She didn't move or shout, letting the man hold her. The man didn't say anything and breathed very lightly.

As she entered the room, she smelled the familiar smell.

"Is it enough?"

The person behind him was stunned, his breathing stopped for a moment, and a nearly unpredictable laughter gradually let go of her.

Gu Man turned around, unable to see the other person's face in the dark room, but the cold eyes as if they were as cold as a wolf stared at her.

"What are you doing?" Gu Man asked calmly.

"Look at you!" Qi Yi smiled: "By the way... take you away!"

Gu Man ignored him and picked up a fire note and lit the candle. Qi Yi's face gradually became brighter in the swaying candlelight, and his tall figure gave people a sense of oppression.

"Let's talk!" Gu Man sat down.

Qi Yi's eyes flashed, "Okay!"

He sat opposite Gu Man and looked at her with his head on his back: "Tell me!"

Gu Man looked at her and asked seriously: "Why did you have to take me away?"

Qi Yi said without hesitation: "I like you!"

Gu Man: "What do you like me?"

Qi Yi chuckled, lowered his head and thought for a moment, raised his head, and there was a little sadness in his eyes.

"Then what do you like Shen Qinghe?"

“…”

Is there any reason to like someone? Gu Man never thought about what he likes Shen Qinghe. It's stupid? It's a stubborn person. It seems that he likes someone, and even his shortcomings become unimportant.

"I like him because he likes me too! More than I like him."

"Will I be less than him?" Qi Yi laughed at himself, "I will only be more than him."

Gu Man was silent for a moment and gritted his teeth: "He is willing to die for me, can you?"

“…”

Qi Yi stared at her and didn't say anything.

Gu Man got up and took out a dagger from the bag and handed it to him: "Can you?"

Qi Yi raised his eyes, his eyes terrifyingly cold: "Do you really want me to die?"

"You can't, I can!" Gu Man raised the dagger and stabbed it into his chest. When the sharp blade was about to pass through, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist. When he let go, the dagger fell down with a clang.

Qi Yi grabbed her wrist, and anger rose in his eyes, as if he wanted to crush her.

"Okay, very good!"

After he said that, he let go of Gu Man, opened the door, and disappeared into the night.

Gu Man sat in a chair, feeling lingering fear.

From now on, there will be no more entanglement between her and Qi Yi!

Ye Jing was surprisingly surprised, Gu Man chuckled softly, but she was not relieved.

"Thirteen." It's Shen Qinghe.

The gentle voice is like the gentle evening breeze.

The moment she called the door, she threw herself into his arms, and the maid holding the food was stunned.

"Put down the food and you go down!"

"Yes!" The maid quickly put the food on the table, and without stopping for a moment, she buried her head and retreated. This is what her master had said long ago. When serving the emperor and the King of Qin, you must be careful, do more and talk less, and do not be curious and inquire less. Otherwise, you will not be able to save your life and will also implicate your family.

Thinking of this, the maid seemed to be chasing her from behind, running fast. She was still panicked, afraid that she would be silenced if she knew something.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qinghe stroked Gu Man's head, his hair was as smooth as silk, and it had a faint fragrance.

"Nothing!" Gu Man chuckled: "I'll get rid of my thoughts!"

She didn't want to tell Shen Qinghe what had just happened. Just as he talked to Ning Ying that time, she didn't want to be there, and she didn't want to ask afterwards. As long as it was done, she just told the other party the result.

Shen Qinghe looked at her in confusion and was about to ask, but Gu Man hurried to the table: "Why did you come? I'm going to starve to death."

After saying that, he sat down and started to sweep away the wind.

Shen Qinghe entered the house with a smile. When he saw the furnishings inside, his smile gradually disappeared.

"Come to my room to sleep tonight!"

Gu Man almost choked. After swallowing a mouthful of the meal, she said, "Your Highness, please pay attention to the impact? This is not the Qin Palace, and you can do whatever you want!"

Shen Qinghe smiled: "Don't the mansion also have to climb through the window?"

Gu Man laughed, "That's right!"

"Then I'll climb over the wall later?" Shen Qinghe said again.

Gu Man looked at him incredibly: "You want to be arrested as an assassin?"

Shen Qinghe: "..."

...

That night, Gu Man was not sleeping soundly. I don’t know if it was because Shen Qinghe was not around.

And she had a nightmare.

In the dream, Shen Qinghe was locked in prison, covered in blood, dying.

But he was still calling her name,

"Thirty, live."

"Life!"

When Gu Man woke up with sweat, it was already dawn. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, and there were tears!

Looking down at the pillow, it was already wet...

One morning, Gu Man was a little absent-minded. The dream last night was too real. Could this be what the system said, Shen Qinghe's next disaster of life and death?
