He is a gentleman like jade, upright, self-denial and etiquette! It's true that I love ᡣ𐭩's Machiavellian tactics and I'm quite smart (I'm not very good at evaluating Machiavellian tactics) "We have met several times and helped each other several times. Miss Shen is like a bright lamp to warm the sun. I have admired Miss Shen for a long time." "Today I am selfish and express my feelings in front of Miss Shen without authorization." "I know that Miss Shen is resolute, intelligent, brave and resourceful, and there is no need to hide behind others. , And there is no need to hide under the man's arms. "I just want Miss Shen to know that if there is a disaster in the future, Miss Shen will not have to face it alone." "In a predicament, it is difficult to be independent. You can use tricks, take advantage of the situation, or have selfish desires. But the bottom line must not be lost, and you must not give up. Otherwise, you will be no different from an animal!"

    The moonlight in the cold palace was as cold as frost. When Jiang Youning used the silver hairpin to open the hidden grid, the tip of the hairpin scraped across the wood seams and made a soft sound. As soon as the old case file was pulled out, she stared at the word "LAN" carved on the hairpin and paused - before the concubine's mask of hypocrisy was completely torn off, a hidden weapon came through the wind. Xiao Yu stood sideways in front of her, and the hidden weapon was nailed into the fabric of his shoulder, but he grabbed her hand first and checked: "It's not hurt?" In the cold moonlight, the sweetness wrapped in the coldness of the blade!
