49. Guard
At the end of September, the weather gradually became colder, and the clumps of autumn chrysanthemums outside the window were still undefeated, but the leaves on the branches had thinned, which added to the smell of sparseness.
Zhu Yun is still a brocade robe, with a crown and a belt, and Shen Yu next to her is wearing a soft Luo skirt with flowers on a white background, a silver-red cloak sprinkled with gold on her head, and a thin wind hair around her neck.
Xu Yan was happy for no reason, took a coat and put it on, and strode out of the house.
Although there were occasional cold winds outside, the weather was clear and the sun was warm.
Outside the courtyard, the green pines and cypresses are shaded, and there are a few old willow trees in between, and occasionally the withered yellow leaves swirl and fall, like a butterfly falling suddenly, fluttering from her hair, if you are leaving, there is a kind of unpredictable gentleness.
Shen Yu stopped beside Qiu Ju and curtled her knees in greeting, "I've seen Your Highness." β
Later, Zhu Yun also saluted and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Duan." β
"No courtesy." Xu Yan glanced at Zhu Yun, and couldn't help but move his gaze to Shen Yan, "What's the matter?" β
"I rashly asked to see His Highness, or for the sake of the family teacher." Zhu Yun gave up.
Shen Yu also nodded in the back, and Shen Yu was worried between her eyebrows.
She had just sent away Dong Shujin and the others who came to visit, because she was worried about Shen Ping, who was still being detained pending trial, and when Zhu Yun came to Shen's house, she couldn't help but propose to stay in the garden and ask Xu Yan for an idea.
After all, Zhu Yun had just entered the Luling officialdom, and he didn't dare to move in the face of this muddy water, although he didn't like Xu Yan's eyes when he looked at Shen Yan, he didn't dare to neglect his master's affairs, so he hurriedly came.
But now looking at Xu Yan's demeanor and outfit, although he is as vigorous and heroic as before, his face is insufficient, presumably because he has not recovered from his illness and is haggard.
Shen Yu felt a little guilty, thinking about the noble people of the family, seeing that she was injured two days ago, she must be doing something important. Now that his injuries are not healed, he has come to cause chaos for others, which is really ......
She couldn't help but purse her lips at this guilt.
Xu Yan walked over and stood opposite her, looking at the little girl's hesitant appearance, she felt very cute.
He didn't care about Shen Fei causing troubleβbeing able to think of asking him for help when he was in a difficult situation showed that Shen Yu still trusted him. What's more, it is too late to be happy to help the beloved little girl relieve her worries!
However, there was a Zhu Yun standing next to him, and he stood close to Shen Yu intentionally or unintentionally, which made people unhappy.
Xu Yan led them into the side hall, and immediately someone served tea, he sat up and said to Zhu Yun: "How's the progress?" β
"According to the news in the government office, the case of the family teacher will be tried the day after tomorrow." Zhu Yun sat there, but his face was already worried, "As far as the lower officials know, this matter was personally inquired into by Lord Qin. β
"Qin Xiong?" Xu Yan was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized -
Although He Wenyuan fell to the King of Wei, in terms of his ability, he was actually only mediocre, not only mediocre in his handling of things, but also lacking courage. Take Shen Ping's matter as an example, he had the calculation of luring Jiang Wenying into the game, but once Jiang Wenying stabilized his position, He Wenyuan had no idea.
In the two days that Shen Ping was detained, He Wenyuan's attitude was always ambiguous, he must have been worried that stealing chickens and rice would not lead to a loss, and he did not have the courage to take a fierce dose.
And Qin Xiong didn't have so many scruples, and put Shen Ping's case on the table, if he could attract Jiang Wenying to make a move, he would be in his hands; If Jiang Wenying calms down, it is just He Wenyuan who suffers, and it has nothing to do with him.
It's a good calculation!
The corners of his lips moved slightly, and his gaze fell on Zhu Yun, "In your opinion, how should you deal with it?" β
"His Majesty has no good plan, so he rashly asked to see His Highness, and I hope His Highness can give him some advice." Zhu Yun is frank. Although he could guess some clues, he didn't have the ability to find out the news like Xu Yan, and he couldn't figure out the hidden doorway behind this matter, so he naturally didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Wait and see." Xu Yan raised his glass and drank the tea, his face was determined.
Zhu Yun said, "Thank you, Your Highness." "I still hesitate in my heart.
Xu Yan and Zhu Yun are not related, so they naturally don't care about him, and being able to point this point is already extra favorable. However, in a blink of an eye, Shen Yu saw that Shen Yu was worried and unresolved, and she couldn't help but pause.
"Tomorrow I will go to the government office, and within ten days, Mr. Shen will be able to return safely." He looked at Shen Yan.
"Really?" Shen Yu and Zhu Yun spoke in unison, and the surprise was beyond words.
Xu Yan nodded, and then said to Zhu Yun: "I still have something to tell Shen Yan." β
This is the order to evict the guest, Zhu Yun knows and knows, although he feels that Xu Yan may not have good intentions in leaving Shen Yan, but the top priority at this time is to save Shen Ping from trouble, and there is nothing to say at the moment, so he got up and said goodbye and left.
The remaining Shen Yu stayed in the hall, so excited that she couldn't smile from ear to ear, she held the teacup in both hands, and walked around the hall uncontrollably, "Is Your Highness telling the truth?" My dad will be back in 10 days? Can it be safe and sound? β
Xu Yan looked at her funny, "Don't believe me? β
"No, no!" Shen Yan immediately patted her ass, "Your Highness is fair and wise, Shen Yan believes in Your Highness!" β
In the end, her daughter's family couldn't be moody, so she still approached Xu Yan in a few steps, "What is Your Highness going to do?" If my father comes out unharmed, my uncle will be fine, right? β
"No, it won't." Xu Yan couldn't help but reach out and touch her eyebrows, "I was wrinkled here just now, and I saw that it was about to drip bitter water." β
Shen Yu laughed twice, and found that even if he was sick, his fingertips were still warm.
And at this time, she actually liked such an intimate posture.
Xu Yan also stood up, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and said, "Come with me." β
Shen Yu didn't comply, and immediately followed out of the courtyard, looked up at Xu Yan again, and carefully looked at his face, "Hasn't Your Highness recovered yet?" β
The handsome eyebrows are still there, but they are haggard. The fierce generals sharpened on the battlefield and the prince cultivated by the royal family, the two temperaments of coldness and toughness and dignity and elegance are blended, and there is always a different atmosphere from ordinary people on his body, which will make people awe and reassuring.
The so-called illness comes like a mountain, no matter how strong a person is, he can't withstand the pain in the end, it's just that he is used to being tough, and he doesn't want to show it at all.
Thinking like this, Shen Yu was a little distressed.
Xu Yan didn't care at all, "It's a little cold, it's okay." β
The two of them went out of Yingzhai, turned to the right, passed through a purple bamboo bush, and behind them was the Water Pavilion Pavilion. One step at a time in this garden, the corridor turns, although there is no spring in autumn, summer luxuriant, the sparse scenery is mixed, it is also interesting.
The last time Shen Yu played in the Lingering Garden was in June, and now that it has passed in March, the scenery is changing, the situation is endless, and it is fascinating to appreciate.
The wind swept over slowly, with a clear cold, Shen Yan couldn't help but tighten her cloak, and heard Xu Yan ask, "Do you feel cold?" β
"Nope." Shen Yan looked up with a smile, but saw Xu Yan standing in front of her on the side of her footsteps, and then took off her cloak and wrapped it neatly around her.
Shen Yan was stunned, a little stupid, but Xu Yan bent down and picked up the part that was dragging on the ground, and with a flexible fold, the cloak was of moderate length. It's just extraordinarily wide, and it's empty on her, making Shen Yan more and more petite and exquisite.
Shen Yu was stunned and called out in confusion, "Your Highness." But his gaze fell on his approaching face, and it was a good mistake.
There was still his warm scent on the cloak, and he arranged the corners of her clothes almost in a hugging posture.
"I can't call you cold." Xu Yan hid a smile in his eyes.
Neither of them spoke, it seemed only for a moment, and it seemed like a long time. Tenderness gradually rose in her heart, and on the occasion of this autumn and winter, Pingbai made her feel warm.
Shen Yu couldn't help but lean forward, greedy for the unfamiliar warmth, and couldn't help it, even if behind that chest, there was a treacherous and overturned court, and it was an unfathomable royal family.
His forehead almost touched his chest, and Shen Yu said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I'm afraid." β
"There's me." Xu Yanren hugged her into his arms and leaned close to her ear, "I can protect my family and the world, can't I protect you?" β
Shen Yan seemed to be touched and looked up at him.
