Chapter 65: Candlelight
"Shen Yifei, what do you need to explain?" Gao Shenghan threw the fold on the ground and stared at the man who was kneeling on the ground crying silently.
"Your Majesty! This is slander! Chiguoguo's slander! My father is loyal to the emperor and the court, how can he be involved with those traitors! They—they don't have a good heart! It's just watching my father die without proof and maliciously framed! Shen Yifei raised his face, a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes were moist and tearful, his thick eyelashes blinked, and a teardrop slowly slid down his left eye, sliding down his cheek to his chin, but the tears in his eyes on the other side were not falling, reflecting the candlelight, like a brilliant gem with a colorful luster, which shook so much that Gao Shenghan's eyelids jumped.
What is pear blossom with rain, she really feels it.
Depend on! This demon! Are you seducing her? When everyone standing next to you is dead?
Still, she appreciates it. This guy has a good eye and knows what's good for him. How did the other party enter the palace, Gao Shenghan also remembered. This great beauty is running for the dragon's bed...... She coughed unnaturally, Gonggong Deng waved his hand without squinting, and a few quiet Yuguan exited the room, and Gonggong Deng said softly, "The old slave is behind", and Shi Li retreated. There are some things that they should know. There are some things that are even worse for them to watch from the sidelines. Those selfishness, the less you know, the longer you live!
Gao Shenghan hooked his fingers towards Shen Yifei. The latter hurriedly crawled forward on his knees, grabbed her legs, rested his chin on her lap, and looked with his face held high.
"Ask the emperor to learn clearly! My father was wronged! The soft and glutinous voice has a hint of crying, full of Jiangnan flavor, but it is good to listen to.
Perhaps, it would be more effective to play an erhu soundtrack next to it.
Gao Shenghan said secretly. Reach out and pat the other person on the shoulder.
"I will not pursue the matter of the dead."
Shen Yifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, we still have to ask about the living people."
Shen Yifei's heart came up again.
"Someone is participating in your Shen family's private mining, and the mineral deposits are concealed and not reported, but is there such a thing?"
Shen Yifei's heart sank to the bottom, and his hands and feet were cold.
Gao Shenghan saw that he couldn't answer with his mouth open, and there was indeed hesitation in his expression, and her face gradually sank.
The focus of the secret fold is on Shen's father's participation in the rebel Zhao Kuang's rebellion, and he also cultivates and transports talents, and lists a bunch of evidence, among which the Shen family's herb shop, academy, silk shop and other money-making industries have become an important source of money for the traitor, and pointed out that Shen's father also has an iron ore vein in his hand, which provides convenience for the traitor to build weapons!
The matter of money is easy to check, and there are accounts to follow where the annual income is spent, only the matter of mineral deposits...... If the Shen family did hide it, then very few people must know about it! It's a bit difficult to check this, because the secret fold only mentions that Shen's father has a mine in his hand, but it doesn't mention where it is. I think the man just heard about it, but he didn't know how it was.
Looking at Shen Yifei's reaction, he knew about it!
Could it be that the Shen family's involvement in the rebellion is fake, and the matter of the mineral deposit is true?
Gao Shenghan's heart tightened slightly.
She reached out to hold Shen Yifei's smooth chin and saw a trace of struggle in his eyes.
The room was suddenly silent, except for the occasional faint sound of the candle burning.
After a long time, a slightly trembling voice sounded.
"Go back, go back to the emperor." Shen Yifei swallowed his saliva with difficulty, hesitated again and again, and decided to reveal a little useful news.
"My father did know about the ore vein, and he asked someone to buy that piece of mountain. However, it was not mined. The mountain has always been barren. ”
Gao Shenghan glared at him. "Don't you feel pale in saying that?"
"This, uh...... Actually, it's not one, it's two. Shen Yifei stubbornly continued to answer.
Gao Shenghan was even more surprised.
"More than one?" The voice raised slightly.
Shen Yifei leaned into her ear, thought about it, changed his mind again, grabbed the other party's hand, and made a few words on it.
Gao Shenghan was very interested in the game of writing and guessing words on the back of his hand, and he played it a lot when he was a child, and soon guessed the name of the place. She tried to reply a few words in the palm of the other's hand. Shen Yifei nodded, indicating that it was correct.
Gao Shenghan was even more surprised.
"It's not—"Iron ore?" The rest of the words were hidden in his mouth by a hand as white as jade.
Shen Yifei's eyes widened, looked at her quietly, blinked again, and glanced upwards and left and right.
-- The partition wall has ears.
Gao Shenghan understood what he meant. Although the Dark Dragon Guard is responsible for protecting her safety and will not pose a threat to her life for the time being, it is not good to stop them from having anything to do with Shili outside, and it is not good to leak the news. If the Shen family's sworn enemies know, there may be another incident.
"The night is so good tonight, why don't you and I have a long talk? It's on my dragon bed......" Gao Shenghan smiled evilly, leaned over slightly and hooked the other party's waist with one hand, and easily picked the person up and put it on his lap.
Shen Yifei was a little frightened, such a posture was too much, it was clearly teasing! In fact, he was a little taller than the emperor, with long hands and long feet, and suddenly fell into the arms of the other party, but he was more than half a head taller than the other party, no matter how you look at it, it is very weird. He stiffened his body, not knowing where to put his hand, but he complained silently in his heart: This guy is so anxious before he grows, beware of not lifting in the future.
Gao Shenghan came back to his senses after doing this action, and he stiffened.
Depend on! Shouldn't it be the other way around, sitting on his lap?
No, no, no! That's not the point!
The point is, what kind of nonsense did you just say? What's the hell about her being ghosted again?
Gao Shenghan was shocked into a cold sweat, and with a glance out of the corner of her eye, she saw a round figure floating towards the inner room, which frightened her hand and threw the big beauty in her arms.
"Your Majesty!" Shen Yifei screamed in pain and fell firmly. Fortunately, there was a long plush blanket on the floor, and it didn't hurt much.
He sat down on the ground in terror, not daring to get up, but his heart was filled with anger.
Why, is it useless to tell him secretly? He hasn't said the exact location yet! Does the emperor want to check them one by one? Or did the emperor really believe the words of those people and condemn him to the Shen family?
Suddenly, remembering the assassination that had just happened a few days ago, Shen Yifei's face turned pale.
Gao Shenghan stared intently in the direction of the inner room.
Soon, the round figure floated out again, and leaned forward with a sneer.
"Your Majesty, the bed has been laid out, and the hot water has been prepared. The old slave then ordered the people to prepare a supper. As he spoke, he handed Shen Yifei a meaningful smile, and quickly stepped forward to help the person up, "Why is Shen Xiaozhu so careless, Jin Zun is precious, but don't break it." While supporting him to walk back, he babbled and instructed how to serve the emperor.
Shen Yifei's scalp was numb, and so was Gao Shenghan.
A quarter of an hour later, the washed pair lay side by side on the carved bed three meters square.
