074 Tampering with Secret Letters

The sky in Shanghai soon turned into night.

Perhaps because of the misery at Shanghai Pier, today's crescent moon has a bloody and lonely aura no matter how you look at it.

In the guest room, Rong Chu rested his chin on his hand, leaned over the table, and used one hand to rub his forehead. He let out a slight sigh, which was too late to be heard by the people outside the door and dissipated in the air, as if he was entangled infinitely.

Due to the reincarnation of fate, I am unable to struggle and can only obey.

Then he stood up, pulled out a piece of paper, and drew a few random strokes as if to express his feelings. Then he frowned, balled up the paper, and threw it out. The paper rolled down the steps and rolled towards the door.

, and finally paused when the door curtain was lifted by someone outside the door.

He just happened to stop at that person's feet.

Rong Chu's eyes followed the paper ball and looked up. The first thing that caught his eye was the black crepe gown. He then raised his eyes. When he saw the child in Ning Ke's arms, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned his eyes to give way.

Ning Ke sat down and teased the child in Ning Ke's arms. As if thinking of something, she chuckled and then whispered, "Where did the child come from?"

"I picked it up on the dock today." Ning Ke smiled and asked with concern, "I see you are in a bad mood, what's wrong?"

"It doesn't matter." Rong Chu sighed, and a little starry white fell from his temples, which made his expression even more miserable, "Today's dock... Oh, why do you say all this? You are fighting for me, it's so noisy.

The harm caused by a mess is only the lives of innocent people."

Rong Chu's words were very heartfelt, but Ning Ke heard them again and again.

However, after thinking for a long time, Ning Ke sighed, unconsciously holding the silver lock around the child's neck, playing with it carefully, lowering his eyes and saying, "Now that it's over, why are you bringing this up?"

"That's right." Rong Chu smiled bitterly and leaned back, "It's okay not to mention it."

The night became darker and darker, and the clear light of the stars and the moon shone on Rong Chu's eyebrows. Every inch of his skin was made more holy and elegant by the bright moonlight, but it was just the shadow hidden under the window lattice.

In the eyes in the separated shadows, there was still a trace of haze. Even if I lowered my eyes and steamed them with the steam of hot tea, I couldn't hide the entanglement, unbearability, and helplessness that passed by suddenly.

Ning Ke could see clearly, but had no intention of exploring the deep meaning in Rong Chu's eyes.

His fingertips still swept the silver lock around his neck intentionally or unintentionally. After a long pause, he whispered, "This child's life experience is extraordinary."

It was unusual. When Ning Ke lifted the basket and looked at the child wrapped in a pile of silk and satin, he thought about the child's possible life experience.

It was an emergency when Du Shi set off explosives, but someone wrapped him in this basket to avoid the explosives and the stampede of the panicking crowd. It can be said that he was thoughtful and thoughtful; however, there were many people at the dock, but he was just left there.

On the pier, it cannot be said that the protection is thorough.

It was obvious that someone took advantage of the chaos and left him here to fend for himself, but due to his identity, he could not be allowed to die in the melee.

Especially the silver lock around the neck - Ning Ke weighed it, took off the silver lock from the child's neck, looked at it over and over, handed it to Rong Chu, and said with a bit of hesitation, "Do you feel it?"

, does this silver lock seem familiar?”

Rong Chu lowered his eyes, and the moment he took the silver lock, he touched Ning Ke's fingertips, which were equally cold to the bone.

"It's still a bit cold at night." Rong Chu smiled awkwardly, "The temperature difference between day and night in Shanghai is also too big. It's a pity that I forgot to bring Wuyu Incense for warmth." After saying that, he lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze firmly.

The silver lock has an ordinary shape, but the flower engraved in the middle is indeed a common flower shape in southern Xinjiang.

Ning Ke remembered it because at the Qionghua Palace, she saw at a glance the utensils with the flavor of southern Xinjiang, which were quite different from those in the Central Plains.

However, a thought came to his mind. He closed his hands and handed the silver lock to Ning Ke. He smiled lowly and said, "You are overthinking it."

"I hope." Ning Ke fought hard and tied the silver lock around the child's neck. It happened that the child suddenly opened his eyes and cried loudly due to the cold. Ning Ke was so coaxed that he was in a hurry.

, smiled at Rong Chu and said, "I won't say anymore. What is this child's life experience? He is also destined to us. I should adopt him. However, I have to trouble His Highness to find a nanny."

After that, he pulled his cloak around the child tightly and ran straight out.

The wind blew in between the opening and closing of the door and extinguished the candle. After a series of small noises, the candle lit up again with a "pop" sound. Rong Chu returned to the way he was before Ning Ke came in, hanging down.

After pondering for a long time, he finally put pen to paper and quickly wrote a few lines on the paper. He then handed it to Zi Lian who was standing aside and said in a low voice, "Seal it according to the secret guard's method and send it back to the imperial city."

Zi Lian bowed to take it, but at the moment when he bowed his head, he saw a little starry white that had been taken out from Rong Chu's temples at some point, half exposed and half exposed between the dark black hair, and he felt funny for some reason.

He said it was funny, but he couldn't laugh out loud. It only took a moment, but Zi Lian had already made up his mind, took the paper respectfully, returned to his side room, and added decisively under the moonlight

The words, "The Lord is hesitant, sir, you can make your own decision."

In the wooden lattice window with the two immortals Hehe carved on it, Zi Lian could only see a strange and serious smile.
