Chapter 21 Eat
"I'm looking for you to eat."
Shen Xian frowned and stared at the food that had been thrown to the floor, then looked at Shi Ling who looked unhappy, and smiled very decently: "It seems that the prince didn't eat much, so it's just right."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shi Ling to retort, he turned to the shopkeeper and said: "Get up another box and bring another portion of the food that the prince ordered just now."
"Okay, girl, come with me."
Shen Xian turned to look at Shi Ling with sincere eyes, but Shi Ling didn't care much and even wanted to leave. Shen Xian quickly blocked the door and blinked: "Speaking of which, last time the prince saved my life, I still I don’t have time to repay my kindness, so why don’t I treat this meal as a thank you to the prince for saving my life.”
"If the prince refuses." Shen Xian lowered her head and smiled shyly: "According to the storybook, I should have pledged myself to him."
Shi Ling frowned slightly.
"Didn't you thank me?"
Shen Xian: "How can I count it? The grace of saving my life is beyond heaven."
Shi Ling was helpless and raised his hand to stop her from continuing, saying, "Can I just finish the meal with you?"
Shen Xian felt that it was a bit of a loss, but if she didn't agree, she was afraid that the person would run away immediately, so she reluctantly nodded.
I'll find other excuses next time.
So Shi Ling turned around and followed the shopkeeper into another box. Shen Xian came in and sat down directly next to him. He didn't refuse!
If you don't refuse, you agree.
The dishes were quickly served, and Shi Ling picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
He eats very well and doesn't make any noise.
Normally, Shi Ling always felt that he was a detached person, but now that he was eating and drinking with his head down obediently, he felt that he was just a mortal.
Shen Xian smiled, put her elbows on the table, held her face in her palms, and turned to look at Shi Ling, as if she was admiring some beautiful scenery.
Shi Ling felt very awkward when she looked at him.
"Don't you want to eat?"
Shen Xian: "To my daughter, this table full of delicacies is nothing compared to the beauty and beauty of the prince."
Shi Ling moved his lips, feeling like he couldn't eat anymore.
"Shen Xian, are you shameless?"
"some."
Shen Xian sighed and frowned: "I am reserved when it comes to others, but I don't know why I have feelings for the prince and his maidens. If I miss someone like the prince, I will regret it for the rest of my life. From now on, no one else will be as good as the prince, because as soon as the servants see the prince, they will never look at other people."
After saying that, he shook his head towards Shi Ling: "If the prince doesn't plan to marry me, then I will have to live alone in my life."
Shi Ling sneered, took a bite of peanuts, and stared at her.
Shen Xian finished all the lines she needed to say, but this person didn't respond and her face was frozen with laughter.
After a long while, Lingcai said: "Play, why don't you continue to play?"
"Your Majesty is joking again, why don't you~"
Even Xiang Nong, who had grown up with her, couldn't stand such a young lady, so she turned her head towards the door and tried to ignore her.
Just then the door of the room was pushed open, and a very familiar person came in. The person didn't seem to see him, he walked straight towards Shi Ling and said something in his ear.
His side face was facing him the whole time, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
After Ah Feng finished speaking, Shi Ling's face became more solemn and he even put down his chopsticks. When Ah Feng walked away, Ling also stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty, you don't want to eat?"
"Well, something happened."
Shen Xian immediately followed: "I'll go too."
Shi Ling stopped and turned to look at her, but his eyes were full of warnings to her.
"Eat your meal and go back."
Seeing that Shen Xian didn't move and looked at him with aggrieved expression, he said funnyly: "What? You can't show off your beauty after I leave?"
"Why don't I find a handsome man to eat with you?"
Shen Xian boldly said: "If that person is really as good-looking as the prince, that's okay."
Shi Ling: "..."
"There is in my dream."
After saying that, he left. Shen Xian also knew that he must be investigating another case, and it was inconvenient for her to follow him.
Is it just that there are too many things going on in the Ministry of Justice recently, or is there some big case that happened?
Can't those people just calm down and disturb her pursuit of her husband?
Shen Xian sat back and lost her appetite after looking at the food on the table. Xiang Nong kept looking at the door. Shen Xian glanced at her several times without noticing.
"Xiang Nong, what are you looking at?"
Xiang Nong came back to her senses and said, "Miss, I seem to have seen that person somewhere."
"Which one?"
Xiang Nong: "They are the guards beside the prince."
Shen Xian thought for a moment and nodded: "The prince often takes him with him, so it's not surprising to see him."
"No." Xiang Nong explained: "Miss, do you still remember the sudden gift? He seemed to be the person who followed me that day."
Shen Xian reacted in her mind for a while, then suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked at Xiang Nong with wide eyes in surprise. She wanted to scream but felt that it was not in line with the image of a lady, so she covered her mouth and jumped a few times happily.
If it was really Ah Feng, it must have been Shi Lingxia's order.
Why did Shi Ling give her a gift for no reason?
A man is suddenly attentive to a woman. Apart from feelings, Shen Xian can't find any other reason.
It seemed that all her hard work paid off. Even though Shi Ling was speaking coldly to her on the surface, he might be laughing secretly.
Shen Xian returned to her usual appearance after a long time, and said with a smile: "It smells so good, are you sure you read that right?"
“You can’t go wrong.”
Shen Xian grinned, feeling very shy imagining Shi Ling's secret thoughts about her behind her back.
He said: "Your Majesty, it's true. I've already taken the initiative. Why would you give me a gift secretly? If you give it to me openly, I won't refuse to agree."
Shi Ling felt that his nose was a little itchy, and it didn't get better even after touching it.
He coughed and said, "Go back and see a doctor later."
Ah Feng was startled: "The prince is sick?"
"Maybe it's Feng Han." After saying that, he took a deep breath to suppress the strangeness in his nose, and looked at Ah Feng: "You said Li Jin was killed, but did anyone catch him?"
Ah Feng shook his head: "Li Jin was imprisoned in Tianlao. Today someone came to bring him food. After eating, Li Jin died of poison. The head of Tianlao said that he only saw a few bits of that person's appearance. Please Several painters could not accurately draw that person's appearance."
Shi Ling narrowed his eyes and clenched his hands tightly into fists on his knees.
After thinking for a moment, he pressed his eyebrows tiredly: "Is there any movement over there, the Third Prince?"
"No, the third prince has been accompanying the third prince and his concubine these days, and rarely interferes with the government affairs anymore."
Shi Ling paused. Could it be that his guess was wrong? Everything really had nothing to do with Shi Yu. Were his inexplicable words to Shen Xian just a man's dirty thoughts?
Ah Feng asked nervously: "I will order people to arrest that person immediately."
"People can come and go in the sky prison at will. Are those jailers useless?"
Ah Feng didn't dare to speak, and Shi Ling's tone was obviously angry at this moment.
At this moment, all the jailers in the Tianlao are in danger. Although their control here is stricter than other prisons, they are not completely unable to manage relationships. Some people can get in if they are given more money, but they have clearly checked the food. Yes, who knows how that person was poisoned.
When Shi Ling came to check on the body, no one dared to express their anger.
Wu Zuo tremblingly reported the condition of the body: "The deceased did die from poison. It was chronic and highly poisonous. Normally it would be fine, but once he comes into contact with vegetables like goldenrod, he will be poisoned and die."
Small theater:
Shen Xian: "Your Majesty looked at me eight times today. I think he probably likes me."
Shi Ling: "Shen Xian performed eight times today. I think she is probably mentally ill."
Xiang Nong: "The lady is probably seduced by a goblin!"
