Shen Yan thought about it along Xu Yan's train of thought, and said, "Either He Wenyuan has a perfect way to detain my father to death, or ...... He's just acting like this. She suddenly had an idea, "It stands to reason that such things should be based on conclusive evidence, but he only looked at the human and physical evidence to determine the crime, let alone elaborate in detail, which is not at all in line with his usual behavior!" ”

- She has been in Luling for many years, her father is in the academy, and her uncle is a political envoy, so she still knows a little about the officials of the Department of Politics and Politics.

Although this He Wenyuan was not as conspicuous as Xue Wanrong before, he was also the second-in-command above, and he acted very cautiously. That year, someone in Wuchuan's science field was found with a note, and he carefully questioned it, and only punished the candidate after the evidence was conclusive, why was he so hasty today?

There is even a feeling that the case is deliberately arbitrary, so that the Shen family is in a hurry to clear the charges?

"Then why did he do it?" Compared with the explanation and comfort, at this time, Xu Yan prefers to follow the temptation, telling Shen Yu to clear the trick by herself, so she is not afraid that she will make a mistake in her hurry.

Shen Yu was stunned again, and suddenly remembered the question raised by Zhu Yun before - why did He Wenyuan blatantly frame Shen Ping?

If Shen Ping "privately forbidden. If he didn't really want to confirm Shen Ping's crime, then what was the real purpose of He Wenyuan in provoking this matter?

At that time, her father glanced at her and cut off Zhu Yun's words to help defend him...... Has he seen through the aftermath?

Xu Yan was not in a hurry, poured tea from the tall case next to him and handed it to Shen Yan, and said, "How did you deal with this incident yesterday?" ”

"Mother went to Aunt Jiang's house for help, and Lord Zhu Yun went back to find Zhu Shibo." Shen Yu replied.

"Lord Jiang has always taken care of the Shen family, what did he say this time?"

"He told us to be restless and not to move."

"That's where he's so smart." Xu Yan sighed and said in a deep voice: "Because according to He Wenyuan's plan, Mr. Shen is just a bait, and the last point in this poetry collection is your uncle, Jiang Wenying." ”

"Really?" Shen Yan let out a low cry and looked at Xu Yan blankly.

When she was sitting at the desk of the Linglong Mountain Pavilion just now, for a moment, she also guessed in this regard, but she didn't dare to believe it, because if this matter was true, then it was not a ban. The book is so simple -

Who is Jiang Wenying? The political envoy of Wuchuan Province, who is said to be a person who may be in the cabinet! Confuse him with Prince Zhaoming. Books are involved, what does that mean?

If Shen Ping "is forbidden in private possession. The crime of "book" is just to lead out the big fish of Jiang Wenying, then the Shen family will inevitably be involved in the whirlpool. Where did He Wenyuan get the courage to dig a pit for Jiang Wenying, and who would be behind him? If Jiang Wenying makes a mistake, what awaits him?

The winner is the king, the loser is the cole, and there are many examples of falling from the clouds into the dust.

All kinds of speculations are frightening, but there are obviously unreasonable things here, so she was just guessing at the time, but quickly denied it. When the guess was undecided, he came to see Xu Yan and wanted to ask for an idea.

Now that Xu Yan proposed it, she felt horrified, and tried her best to calm her voice and express her doubts at that time, "Even if they expected that Uncle Jiang would help the Shen family, so what? Isn't it right to meddle in a case that is clearly a grievance? If they succeeded, this incident alone would not hinder Uncle Chiang; If they miss the stuffing, they will be held accountable. The source of the book will bring harm to itself. In this way, isn't the gain outweighed the loss? ”

There was a knock on the door outside, but it turned out that the woman had boiled ginger soup and came in.

Xu Yan asked Shen Yu to drink ginger soup to warm her body first, and explained: "Once Jiang Wenying intervenes in this matter, regardless of whether Mr. Shen's accusations are true or not, He Wenyuan will definitely bring this matter to the heavens, and no matter what the reason is, Jiang Wenying will definitely cause a big disaster." ”

"Why!" Shen Yu was shocked.

"Because that's not anything else. book, but a collection of poems by Prince Zhaoming. Xu Yan's eyes suddenly drifted a little.

"Prince Zhaoming......" Shen Yu chewed on these four words, and her fingertips couldn't help but curl up.

It was a big case that shocked the government and the opposition twelve years ago, and now it is mentioned lightly by his mouth, but it always makes people fearful.

"Prince Zhaoming is a taboo in the life of the imperial brother, even I dare not mention it, anyone who touches it will die." Xu Yan's voice was very low, "Back then, Prince Zhaoming's literary name was the best in Beijing, and he was deeply appreciated by the literati, including the current cabinet chief assistant Jiang Ge Lao. Jiang Wenying is Jiang Ge's beloved apprentice, and now he is forbidden for a private Zhaoming prince. The person who wrote the book defended that no matter what the details of the matter were, once this matter reached the ears of the imperial brother, then Jiang Wenying's career would be ruined. ”

"Your Majesty, he is serious...... Will Uncle Jiang be dismissed for such reasons? Shen Yan couldn't believe it.

A dignified second-class official, just because he had a roundabout relationship with a "sinner" twelve years ago, he had to cut off his career? Even if he didn't do anything wrong in the first place, just to administer justice for a wronged person?

Xu Yan was very convinced, and a sneer flowed through his eyes, "How could it not." ”

His biological mother, Concubine Cui, was the adoptive mother of Emperor Huiping, when Xu Yan was born, the nineteen-year-old Emperor Huiping had opened a mansion and built a government, Xu Yan grew up with him since childhood, and his brothers were the most affectionate. Although Emperor Huiping had a lot of suspicions and concerns after ascending the throne, Xu Yan, who was also a man who grew up in the royal family, still had a better understanding of Emperor Huiping than the queen who was the queen of the world.

Although the case of Prince Zhaoming is a long time ago, it has always been the darkest and least unknown secret in Emperor Huiping's heart, and any relevant turmoil is enough to make him nervous.

At the beginning, because of the suspicion that the prince still had nostalgia for Prince Zhaoming, Emperor Huiping was able to demote him out of Beijing without hesitation, what is Jiang Wenying? It's just a talented civil servant, and no amount of appreciation can withstand the dark jealousy in his heart.

There was silence in the room for a while, and all I could hear was the sound of the rain outside, as if it was about to penetrate the window paper and break through the window.

Because Xu Yan is strong and healthy, there is nothing to warm in the house, and when it rains heavily in late autumn, the house looks cold. Shen Yan was already drenched in the rain, although there was a bowl of hot ginger soup in her belly, but her skirt and shoes and socks had already gained momentum, and she only felt cold on her feet at this time.

"Is it cold?" Xu Yan saw that her face had changed, and she was a little worried, "I can't wear these wet shoes and socks anymore, I will ask someone to go to your house to get clean clothes, you change them first, and then go back after the rain stops." ”

Shen Yan was also afraid that she would catch a cold and cause trouble to Mrs. Shen, but she had no objection when she heard the words, and after Xu Yan called someone in to give instructions, she asked carefully: "Then Your Highness, what should my family do now?" ”

"This matter is not something you can grasp, you should still listen to Jiang Wenying's meaning, and you can't act rashly. Mr. Shen thought about it correctly, he would rather admit the crime for the time being, and he must not involve Jiang Wenying, including Zhu Yun, and he should also stop. ”

"But if you let it go, once your father's crime is convicted......" Shen Yu hesitated.

"Don't worry, if Jiang Wenying doesn't make a move, they won't be in a hurry to finalize the case."

Even though she said that, Shen Yu was still very bottomless in her heart, wringing her sleeves worriedly, and her gloom was not reduced.

Xu Yan suddenly smiled and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, even if they want to open a trial, there is still me." ”

"Isn't Your Highness afraid?" Shen Yan's black and white eyes looked at him, and she was clearly worried.

"I know how to measure, and I won't touch the scales. What's more, to clear Mr. Shen's charges, it is not necessary for me to do it myself. He looked at Shen Yan and saw a bright light in her eyes, and at that moment, she seemed to be alive again and became flexible and vivid.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek, and suddenly smiled, as if a warm sunshine suddenly leaked out of the cold rain in late autumn, "Shen Fei, think about it seriously, how about marrying me?" Make sure you're safe. ”

Xu Yan's words turned too fast, and Shen Yan was stunned for a moment.

The two of them were so close that they could hear their breath, and his eyes were so close that she couldn't avoid them. The room was obviously cold, but Shen Yan suddenly felt a burning on her face, she looked at Xu Yan, and she didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth a few times, but the crimson color kept spreading, from her cheeks to the roots of her white ears, and then to her delicate neck.

"Temple...... Her Highness ...... "She couldn't help but lean back, like a helpless fawn.

In fact, the last time Xu Yan visited, she mentioned the marriage to Shen Ping, and she pushed Shen Yan hard, so that she had to think about something clearly. If it weren't for Shen Ping's matter pressing on her heart at this time, Shen Yu might really be able to talk to him, but unfortunately the timing was not good, her head was chaotic and her feelings were unstable now, so it was really not appropriate to make extraneous branches.

Xu Yan lingered on her cheek for a moment, and said, "I went to visit Mr. Shen in the house that day, do you know?" ”

Shen Yu nodded stunned.

"I mentioned the marriage to Mr. Shen, and he said that he would not answer me until he asked you what you meant." He suddenly approached, like a fierce wolf on the battlefield approaching the white rabbit that had escaped, and the light in his eyes jumped, "Actually, you should know that even if Mr. Shen wants to give you to someone else, I will go to rob you." ”

"Huh?" Shen Yu couldn't tell whether he was serious or joking, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you can't do this!" ”

"Why not?" Xu Yan smiled neatly, and the original dignified and serious "His Royal Highness Duan Wang" were like two people.

Shen Yu was surprised, embarrassed with a face, and said with a sigh: "Your Royal Highness is the respect of the prince, and his name is the best in the world, he shouldn't be a bully!" "The dignified God of War, what is it bad to rob, to rob a relative? This is too prestigious, noble!

"It's not bad to bully people once in a while." Xu Yan looked at Shen Yan playfully, and also saw her own shadow in her eyes, "Otherwise, I watched you go with others?" ”

……

Shen Yan was so blocked by him that she had nothing to say, and she was really in no mood to discuss this with Xu Yan at the moment, so she had to shut up. But being stared at by him so closely, she only felt cramped, her face was spicy, and she hurriedly took the opportunity to pour tea to get up and walk away, and paced to the window to look at the pouring rain, and the cool breeze came in, and the fever on her face went down.

Xu Yan was still sitting on the couch, her eyes falling on her back.

In the bottom of my heart, there is a strange tenderness.
