Chapter 401 Chapter 401 Lonely Soul

One of them was in the room, and the other stood at the door. They looked at each other quietly for a while, and it was Chu Qianhuang who was the first to call out: "Second sister."

Chu Qianhuang smiled slightly, and couldn't help but think of what Concubine Chu told her, and her dreams. Her pair of dark eyes were as deep as the tides in the dark night, and the waves were lapping on the beach one after another...

Looking at the thin-looking Chu Qianhuang in Jingchai's sarong in front of him, Shen Qianchen felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Chu Qianhuang has not changed. Even if she listens to the scriptures here for a month and copies the scriptures for a month, she is still the same Chu Qianhuang.

She seemed to be living in her own world, following the framework she had set for herself, and bound herself.

Chu Qianchen moved and walked in gracefully while looking around the side room.

The layout of this wing is extremely simple. Except for necessary furniture such as desks, tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., there is nothing superfluous.

On the desk placed against the east wall, in addition to the Four Treasures of the Study and the scriptures, there are several pages of Buddhist scriptures that have just been copied. The fragrance of ink still lingers in the air.

Seeing Shen Qianchen's eyes falling on the desk, a faint smile appeared on Chu Qianhuang's lips, but the smile was not as deep as his eyes. He said warmly: "During these days, I have lived a very comfortable life here. I listen to the scriptures every day. I owe it to my second sister to copy the scriptures.”

If an uninformed person saw this pair of sisters, they would probably think that they have a deep sisterly relationship.

Without Chu Qianhuang's invitation, Shen Qianchen sat down at the round table in the middle of the wing. On the round table were a torre wood chessboard and two chess boxes.

Shen Qianchen's face was calm and unruffled. When he was not speaking, he had an aura as cold as the moon and as if no one else was around.

She grabbed a few black stones from the chess box and put them back casually. When the black stones fell back into the chess box, they collided with other chess pieces and made a crisp sound.

Her eyes were looking at the torrewood chessboard and the two chess boxes without leaving any trace.

The chessboard and chess box lid were covered with a thin layer of dust. She had them delivered here from the Chu family, but it was obvious that Chu Qianhuang had never touched the chessboard.

In the past, Chu Qianhuang liked to play chess. In his spare time, he would arrange chess pieces against the chess board or play a game with himself.

Seeing Shen Qianchen's silence, Chu Qianhuang couldn't help but said: "You come here, you don't want to play chess with me, do you?"

Chu Qianhuang has always disliked Shen Qianchen's style of making things mysterious.

"Of course not." Shen Qianchen picked up another black stone and placed it on the star position in the upper right corner of the chessboard. Then he picked up a white stone from another chess box and placed it on another star position on the chessboard.

She didn't look at Chu Qianhuang, and said meaningfully: "You should already know some things."

Chu Qianhuang was confused after hearing this, and her heartbeat sped up inexplicably.

Thump, thump, thump!

"What...what do you mean?!" Chu Qianhuang asked in confusion, taking two steps closer to Shen Qianchen and facing her face to face.

"Chu Qianhuang, you don't think you can hide what you and your eldest aunt said in the palace from me, do you?" Shen Qianchen said slowly while continuing to place stones on the chessboard, black one, white one Son, without any pause.

It was obvious that she was just setting up a chess game from memory.

"..." Chu Qianhuang's pupils shrank sharply, his expression changed uncontrollably, and his eyebrows frowned.

She took a deep breath, sat down, and asked straight to the point: "What exactly do you want to do?" The words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

At this moment, Chu Qianhuang couldn't explain how she felt: It turned out that Shen Qianchen already knew that they were twins, so why did she appear here now? !

Do you want to see your own jokes?

Or maybe she was laughing at herself for being stupid and being manipulated by Aunt Jiang? !

Yes, Shen Qianchen knew clearly that they were both born to Shen Zhisheng, twins with the same father and mother, but he still locked her up in Baiyun Temple like a prisoner.

What good intentions could she have for herself? !

Chu Qianhuang's fingers pinched his fingertips habitually, and his eyes became darker and darker, as if a tornado was brewing and raging inside.

She spoke like ice and tried to keep her tone steady, saying: "Yes, I am stupid, but you, 'Chu Qianchen', are not much smarter either. You have been deceived by Jiang Minshan for so many years. What qualifications do you have to accuse me from above?" !”

"There is no difference between you and me!"

Shen Qianchen was deceived by Aunt Jiang for fourteen years. If Shen Zhi hadn't found out that there was doubt about their life experience, Shen Qianchen might still be living in that lie and be used as a weapon by Aunt Jiang!

The more Chu Qianhuang thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

Obviously she is also Shen Zhi's daughter, but Shen Zhi abandoned her, regardless of the fourteen-year relationship between mother and daughter...

Shen Qianchen was still playing chess, and every chess piece fell very steadily. In just a short while, the black and white chess pieces already occupied nearly half of the chess board.

The sound of "pop, pop, pop" was monotonous, making Chu Qianhuang more and more irritable.

She stared hard at Shen Qianchen's phoenix eyes and said word by word: "Second sister, don't forget that you and I are twins with the same blood flowing in our bodies. Do you still want to kill me? !”

Chu Qianhuang knew that Shen Qianchen probably didn't have any murderous intentions towards her. Even if she didn't like him, she could have locked herself up like this for the rest of her life. In this way, no one would doubt that she didn't care about her sister's affection.

Chu Qianhuang asked this question deliberately and said it so sharply, just to aggravate Shen Qianchen and make her lose control.

Shen Qianchen calmly placed another white piece on the chessboard. Then, the movements of her hands finally stopped. She looked up at Chu Qianhuang, who was less than three feet away from her, and answered the question: "What do you think about this game?" How about it?"

Chu Qianhuang glanced at the chessboard absently and said coldly: "The black piece is timid and weak in chess; the white piece is steady in chess, but it is a pity for a woman's kindness."

As Chu Qianhuang said, the white stone clearly had the upper hand in the game in front of him. If the white stone had not been willing to be humble, the black stone would have lost long ago.

Shen Qianchen's eyes were deep and he asked coldly: "I'm very curious, who are you?"

Chu Qianhuang didn't realize at all that this game was a game between Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen in the summer when they were twelve years old. The person holding the white piece at that time was Chu Qianhuang, and it was a guiding game.

Shen Qianchen was reborn a year ago. To her, this game of chess was like two lifetimes apart. It had been too long and she had long forgotten it. She remembered this game not long ago when she accidentally found a page of chess records she had written in a chess book.

"..." Chu Qianhuang was caught off guard by Shen Qianchen's question. Her pupils shrank again, and there was a momentary panic on her face that she couldn't hide.

Shen Qianchen sat on the round stool behind the chessboard, his posture elegant yet upright, and continued to ask: "Who are you?"

Her tone was still neither serious nor serious, and her eyes were as sharp as a sword, not missing the slightest change in expression on Chu Qianhuang's face.

Of course Chu Qianhuang couldn't admit it. He suppressed her uncontrollable heartbeat and spoke faster: "I am Chu Qianhuang!"

The words "externally strong but internally incompetent" made Shen Qianchen let out a low laugh.

After talking about this, Shen Qianchen didn't want to beat around the bush with Chu Qianhuang anymore, and said it more plainly: "Who are you? You are definitely not Chu Qianhuang."

Every word and every sentence she spoke was tinged with thorns, which shocked Chu Qianhuang. There was only one thought left in Chu Qianhuang's mind: How did Shen Qianchen know? !

"..." Chu Qianhuang's cherry lips turned white and lost all color.

Shen Qianchen didn't give her time to think, and pressed forward step by step: "Tell me, where did you come from?"

"..." Chu Qianhuang was flustered and couldn't think calmly at all.

This was her biggest secret. She never thought that one day she would be exposed. Moreover, the person who exposed her turned out to be Shen Qianchen, and Shen Qianchen's attitude was so determined.

What on earth did she do that was not good enough to expose her secrets? !

Chu Qianhuang wanted to make amends, but Shen Qianchen was obviously prepared, but she had no clue. Even if she was given more time, she might not be able to figure out what went wrong.

She obviously has all Chu Qianhuang's memories and knows all Chu Qianhuang's habits. Her handwriting is exactly the same as Chu Qianhuang's. How did Shen Qianchen figure it out!

What will she do with herself? !

After all, the ancients were most afraid of this kind of strange power and chaos. I'm afraid they would feel that they were possessed by evil spirits, and it was possible to burn themselves to death with fire...

Shen Qianchen glanced at the chess game in front of him again.

People's memories are really interesting. Chu Qianhuang does have all the memories about the past, but he can't go into the details. It's like a person who watched a play under the stage and knows the content of the play, but, look After all, the details that people who perform and those who sing on the stage can experience are different.

What is false can never become true.

Shen Qianchen raised the corners of his lips with a faint smile, and said: "You are not Chu Qianhuang, so how could I let you go because of the so-called sisterly love. Unless you let me see your value. "

"I know what you are thinking. You think you have another way out, so you wait here with peace of mind. But you have to know that if I don't let go, you will never have any way out."

"..." Chu Qianhuang's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and he was completely speechless.

What she heard from Shen Qianchen today was like a thunderbolt, making her tremble with fear.

She thought Shen Qianchen knew enough, but unexpectedly, the other person's next sentence seemed to hit her hard with another lightning strike: "You can know the future, right?"

"So, can you know whether you will live or die?"

Shen Qianchen tilted her little face and smiled again, a little casually, with a charming smile.

How is it possible? ! How could Shen Qianchen even know this! Chu Qianhuang's eyes almost widened to the extreme, and he felt a shuddering chill crawling up his spine from the soles of his feet. She looked at Shen Qianchen as if she were looking at a monster, and Shen Qianchen's last words echoed in her mind like thunder: "So, can you know whether you will live or die?"

She knew the future, and she also knew that the original owner was married by Shen Zhiyuan in the novel. Until Wuhejialou unified the Central Plains, the original owner was still alive.

But everything is different now, so what is her future?

Chu Qianhuang stood up in a hurry. His movements were too hasty and he accidentally hit the chessboard.

As a result, the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard became chaotic in an instant. Dozens of chess pieces were knocked off the chessboard one after another, falling to the ground with a clatter, and rolling away again, leaving a mess.

The black and white chess pieces rolling on the ground were just like Chu Qianhuang's mood at the moment.

Shen Qianchen knew from Chu Qianhuang's reaction that his guess was right again.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan quickly came out of the wing, stood at the door and said seriously: "Madam, a group of bandits are coming to Baiyun Temple!"

Because Shen Qianchen was traveling incognito today, Jiang Yuan did not call her Queen, only Madam.

Shen Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianhuang: "..."

Chu Qianhuang's expression changed again. His first reaction was how could there be bandits at the emperor's feet, but then he thought that after all, Gu Jue had just ascended the throne, and the throne and the country were not yet secure!

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the Xuanjia Army soldiers saluting came from outside: "See you, Lord Nine."

Knowing that Gu Jue was coming, Shen Qianchen immediately stood up and said to Jiang Yuan, "Let's go!"

She ignored Chu Qianhuang and walked straight out of the wing. It wasn't until she walked out of the door that she looked back at Chu Qianhuang in the room.

Chu Qianhuang stood there blankly, looking frightened, his eyes bright and clear.

When she met Shen Qianchen's eyes, she looked away guiltily, became even more panicked, and bit her lower lip slightly.

Regardless of the past grudges between her and Shen Qianchen, Shen Qianchen was right about something.

She knows the future, so she is a variable. Even if some things in the future will go in the direction she wants, it is hard to say whether her variable will live or die.

Maybe Gu Jue will die within a few months according to his original fate, but can she survive until the day when Gu Jue dies?

Not to mention the bandits outside, if Shen Qianchen decided to burn her to death on the pretext of being "possessed by an evil spirit", she would be weak and unable to resist, and would have no choice but to let the other party kill her like an ant. To death.

Chu Qianhuang suddenly realized that this was ancient times, where human lives were as small as grass, and where those in power could make people splatter with blood with just one word...

For the first time, she felt so small and incompetent.

Chu Qianhuang's lips parted slightly, and her throat felt like it was burning, but she didn't cry out in the end.

Shen Qianchen quickly walked outside the courtyard and saw a young monk not far away who was sweating profusely. He stopped Gu Jue and said anxiously: "... Donor, there are bandits outside and have surrounded the foot of Baiyun Temple. Those bandits are walking behind. As we approach here, our temple has closed its gate."

"It is too dangerous to leave the temple now. Please stay in the temple for a while. The officers and soldiers should come to the rescue soon."

While the young monk was talking, other monks and pilgrims were passing by in twos and threes. Some monks were also explaining the bandits to other pilgrims; some pilgrims were very excited and insisted on leaving through the back door; some pilgrims asked their own guards to Go to the gate and see how many bandits there are and how far they are from Baiyun Temple.

After the young monk finished speaking to Gu Jue, he hurried away. As he ran panting, he shouted to the pilgrims in front of him who were walking toward the gate: "Please stay here..."

Gu Jue seemed to feel that Shen Qianchen was coming, and turned to face her with a faint smile, his handsome face adding a bit of brightness in the sunshine.

He held her hand and comforted her, "It's okay."

Shen Qianchen nodded, held his hand, and the two of them walked slowly towards the pavilion in the bamboo forest ahead.

It is a forest of gold-inlaid jade bamboo, which is a treasure among bamboos. The golden poles and green grooves are like pieces of jasper inlaid on gold bars. Bamboo, as its name suggests, is like a golden ocean.

As summer approaches, the wind is warm and rustling as it blows through the bamboo forest, adding a bit of coolness and tranquility.

The two of them walked leisurely on the cobblestone path in the forest.

Shen Qianchen looked at the swaying golden bamboo forest in front of him. His phoenix eyes were reflected brightly by the golden bamboo forest. He smiled and sighed: "Interesting, Chu Qianhuang seems to be very sure that she can get out of trouble."

"At this point, Chu Qianhuang still has someone to rely on. I'm very curious about what she relies on..."

Is Chu Qianhuang so confident because of the future she knows?

She knows the future, but judging from what she has done, the future she knows is definitely different from the future she knows.

Next, what method should I use to get more words out of Chu Qianhuang's mouth?

Shen Qianchen was thinking quietly, the hand holding Gu Jue's palm was a little restless, and her fingers were caressing the back of his hand, again and again...

Suddenly, Shen Qianchen heard Gu Jue's gentle voice entering her ears: "Wuhajia Tower."

Shen Qianchen: "..."

Shen Qianchen happened to stop outside the pavilion, blinked slowly, and then blinked again.

At first, she didn't react. She didn't understand why Gu Jue suddenly mentioned Wu He Jia Lou. After a moment, she realized that Gu Jue was answering her question.

Chu Qianhuang's support was Wuhejialou.

Yes, it must be Wuhajia Tower!

This name was like an invisible thread that connected the scattered beads in Shen Qianchen's heart. In an instant, she was enlightened and figured out many things.

In the past, she was probably in the middle of the game, but she thought wrong.

Now after being reminded by Gu Jue, Shen Qianchen remembered that as early as last year, Chu Qianhuang came to her specifically to test out Wuhejial Tower. Chu Qianhuang had always cared about Wuhejial Tower.

Now reasoning back from the conclusion, Shen Qianchen thought about it carefully and realized what was going on.

It turns out that Chu Qianhuang's purpose is actually very clear. Whether she must be the third princess's companion, or later even if she becomes a concubine, she insists on going to Nanhao with the Andaman King... Everything she has done is... It’s for Uhagalou!

so-

In the future that Chu Qianhuang knew, that was different from the future that he knew, was Wuhejialou the final winner? ! Wuhejialou unified the northern and southern worlds? !

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Chu Qianhuang kept staring at Wuhejial Tower.

Shen Qianchen stood there blankly and didn't move for a long time. Gu Jue simply picked her up and carried her into the pavilion to sit down.

There is a gourd-shaped pond next to the pavilion. The goldfish in the pond seemed to sense someone coming, and swam over with their tails waving in the water. The water was sparkling, and occasionally a few golden bamboo leaves fell on the water. On the top, this pool of water and fish are decorated with vitality.

Shen Qianchen didn't realize that he was being carried in by Gu Jue. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and tightly grasped Gu Jue's sleeves, and said seriously: "Jiuxia, you are so smart!"

Gu Jue's advice doubled her 30% gain today.

Shen Qianchen was so happy that she leaned over and kissed him on the chin to express her joy without thinking.

Shen Qianchen's eyes brightened a little more, shining like gems.

Yes, Chu Qianhuang doesn't care about her current predicament because she is sure that her current predicament can be resolved.

So, Chu Qianhuang felt that he couldn't trap her?

Shen Qianchen felt that she needed to eat some candy to turn her head around. Before she could open her mouth, a pine nut candy was stuffed into her mouth, making one of her cheeks bulge.

Shen Qianchen smiled so hard that his eyebrows curved, and his smile was sweeter than his mouth.

The person who knows her is Gu Jue.

In addition to a package of pine nuts, there is also a small package of butterfly pastries on the stone table in the pavilion.

Gu Jue fed Shen Qianchen another piece of butterfly cake with his own hands, and then casually sprinkled some of the crumbs as fish food into the pond. The smell of the food immediately attracted greedy goldfish.

He did not disturb Shen Qianchen and let her think quietly.

Shen Qianchen turned to look at the goldfish in the pond. His mouth was sweet, but his heart gradually felt a bitter taste as he thought about it.

In the last life, Gu Jue died after her haircut ceremony, which was still a hundred days away.

In today's Daqi, Gu Jue is a needle that fixes the sea. With Gu Jue here, Daqi will be strong.

Unless...unless Gu Jue is gone, Chu Qianhuang won't be able to pull off any tricks, and Nanhao people won't be able to pull off any tricks at Daqi either.

Therefore, Chu Qianhuang must also know the date of Gu Jue's death, and she is very sure that this will happen!
