Chapter 1060 Suspicion
"You don't need to be so restrained here with the Holy Maiden of Shanlai. Everyone, take off your veil, otherwise the Holy Maiden will really say that we treat her as an outsider."
Even Qianfang had spoken, Liu Yusheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and take off the veil, showing no emotion on his face, calm and composed.
This is all a bit of skill learned after hanging around with Feng Qingbai and Xue Qinglian for a long time.
Shan Lai's eyes flicked across the faces of several people, then returned to Liu Yusheng's face, and stopped.
Liu Yusheng quietly clenched his hands, and his heart also lifted.
"Who is this……"
"Oh, she's a little woman in our village, named Qianmei," Qianfang introduced, and asked strangely, "Do you know the saintly lady Shanlai?"
"No, I don't know her." Shan Lai shook her head, and looked away lightly, "I just think her eyes are familiar, like someone I know."
"There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and it is not surprising that there are occasional similarities." Qian Fang laughed.
"The elder is right, it is true." Shan Lai nodded, not paying attention to Liu Yusheng any more.
While the two were chatting, Liu Yusheng didn't continue to look at Shanlai.
Ever since she guessed the affiliation relationship between Shanlai and Xue Zhong, she never dared to take this person lightly.
The impression of being cold, open and kind when the woman was supporting her for the first time has long since disappeared.
For a while, Liu Yusheng glanced at the woman's abdomen without any trace, and it was as flat as it was.
When she left at the beginning, her stomach was already very big, and now it has been more than half a year since she escaped from Nanling, that child does not know what is going on now.
Just as he was thinking, he vaguely heard a baby crying from the back of the hall, and soon a maidservant came to report, "Saint, my little master is crying again."
"Are you hungry? Go find the nanny." Shan Lai said lightly.
"It's not that I'm hungry. The nanny has just fed her. I don't know if there is something uncomfortable. The saint should go and have a look."
"If he wants to cry, I think it's useless." The woman said, "Let him cry, and he won't cry when he's tired."
From the beginning to the end, Shan Lai didn't have any special expression on her face, as if the baby in the handmaid's mouth was not born by her, she was very indifferent.
Liu Yusheng frowned invisibly.
Immediately, Qian Fang sighed, "Shan Lai, you...how can I say, it is your child after all, you still can't let it go?"
Shan Lai smiled, "Didn't I give birth to him and raise him?"
Qianfang looked deeply at Shanlai, sighed one last time, and didn't mention the child again.
As for Liu Yusheng and Qianxue Qianlan, because of their lower status, they naturally shouldn't talk casually in front of Shanlai, especially when it comes to the private affairs of the saintesses of the Gu doctor clan, they are not allowed to talk about them.
So even if he felt strange about Shan Lai's attitude, he didn't dare to ask more questions.
When the group left, Shan Lai and his Zen tea sent them out of the main hall.
Liu Yusheng and Qianxue Qianlan walked behind, and the woman in front suddenly looked back at Liu Yusheng, "I think you are not very old, how long have you been married?"
"Back to the saint, I have been married for more than three years." Liu Yusheng lowered her brows and looked nervous.
"Do you have any children?"
"Not yet."
Although she lowered her head and didn't meet Shanlai's eyes, Liu Yusheng felt that the other person's eyes searched her face for a long time. Good Lai is good Lai, and all my thoughts are hidden in my bones.
She hadn't dispelled her suspicions from the very beginning, and she made a sudden noise just now, in order to catch her off guard and listen to her voice.
Fortunately, she also never let go of her guard. When she answered just now, she deliberately lowered her voice. To Qianfang and the others, it sounded like nervousness, but to Shanlai, it was completely different from Liu Yusheng's voice.
Knowing that she was in the carriage, Liu Yusheng was really relieved.
"Sister Qianmei, were you nervous just now?" Qianlan covered her mouth and teased her.
Liu Yusheng glared at her, "Aren't you nervous when you see the saintess of the Gu doctor clan?"
"I'm nervous too."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then Liu Yusheng pretended to be casual and asked Qian Fang, "Elder, the holy girl of the Gu doctor clan is already married and has a child? Why haven't you seen her husband?"
Qian Fang sighed, "If you see the Holy Maiden Shanlai again in the future, don't mention her husband in front of her. Few people know about this matter. I don't know exactly what happened to her. I only know that she met a bad luck. Originally, a saint who gave birth to a child out of wedlock would be cast aside by others in the clan, but fortunately, the royal family backed her up and suppressed this matter."
"The Holy Maiden of Shanlai must be favored by the royal family. I think the place where she lives is like a palace in the palace."
"That was also allocated to her by the royal family. The Holy Maiden of Shanlai has a high status in the royal family. She is different from our holy witch clan. You should respect her more."
Liu Yusheng and Qianlan Qianxue both nodded.
"Elder, you have visited the Holy Maiden Shanlai several times before, but have you seen her child?" Qianlan was very curious when she was young, "I don't think she treats her child very well."
Regarding that child, Liu Yusheng also has doubts, but she is playing the role of a low-key little woman among the holy witch clan, so it is inconvenient to ask too many questions, so as not to arouse suspicion. Unexpectedly, Qian Lan asked this question, which was exactly what she wanted.
"I haven't seen that child before. When I came to visit her the first two times, she hadn't given birth yet, but at that time I already felt that she was extremely indifferent to the fetus in her womb," Qianfang sighed again at this point, " It's no wonder she's there, there's a reason for everything. If it wasn't for meeting someone who betrayed her heart, which mother would be willing to treat her child like that."
Liu Yusheng's heart was a little heavy, and he didn't interrupt all the way afterwards, stuck in his thoughts.
On the other side of the Yun Palace, after returning to the main hall, Shan Lai sat in the hall for a long time, staring at the door of the main hall, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, which sometimes thickened and sometimes faded.
"Over there in Mocheng, are you sure that King Nanling and Princess Nanling have already left?" She clapped her hands and asked a certain corner.
"I'm sure they've already left. The spy from the court watched them leave with their own eyes."
"Have you seen ghost doctors around them?"
"No."
After another moment of silence, "Someone is spying on that Qianmei, and if they find anything, report it immediately."
On the night when she returned to Yanshou Palace, Liu Yusheng knew that Shan Lai still hadn't dispelled her suspicions, and the other party even sent someone to watch her secretly.
Because this night, Feng Qingbai did not sneak into her room.
If he doesn't come, there is only one possibility, that is, there are more surveillance guards around her. Once he comes, he will be noticed by the other party.
Shan Lai's sensitivity made Liu Yusheng even more afraid. Until she left with the Shengwu tribe, she might not have any good ways to exchange news with Feng Qingbai and Xue Qinglian.
Those two big men are still taking turns to be on duty beside the old eunuch. I don't know what's going on with them, but what useful information has been collected in the palace?
After reading the comments, there are still many readers asking why it is not updated. Orange will explain again here, there is a funeral at home, and there is no way to update it in the past few days, please understand.
The chapters that are sent out occasionally are squeezed out of the time code. They have to keep watch and greet guests, so goblins, be patient for a few days.
