Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Inner Ghost
"Okay, you say." Shen Jinxi watched his sister cry because of herself, and she felt even more guilty.
Even if Shen Yuxiao is dressed as a man at this moment, it still makes Shen Jinxi feel very sad, you must know that no matter what status a woman is, as long as she enters this prison, she will be stained on her reputation. All the women who pass through the hall have lost their virginity, and the rods and buttocks and the meat are light.
Although Shen Yuxiao just visited and fell into the eyes of others, the public opinion was not clear.
"Did you hear that my grandmother took me to Fahua Temple to look at Mrs. Bo Changhou before going to find Zhang Mang?" Shen Yuxiao said and looked at Zhao Yihe, who was standing silently next to him, although Zhao Yihe had reminded Shen Yuxiao that day, he didn't know Fang's intentions after all.
Zhao Yihe just put it on in front of his own human form, didn't say a word, and couldn't see anything else.
Shen Yuxiao simply didn't care about him, and only looked at Shen Jinxi: "Fuqing told me that he went to meet his brother in the Wanqi camp, and then Chang Xi went back to his house with him." No matter what my brother looks like in the eyes of others, I know that my brother has always been a wise and measured person, and he will never do something brainless. Zhang Mang had an accident but caught his brother at the scene, which means that his brother did go out of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Camp, and the only thing that can make my brother disobey his grandfather's order, I am afraid that the only thing in the whole capital is me and my mother, am I right? ”
Originally, Shen Jinxi's face was slightly ugly, but when he heard Shen Yuxiao finish speaking, he smiled: "I know that Xiaoxiao is the smartest, and I can't hide anything." ”
Shen Jinxi then opened his mouth and told everything that happened in the middle: "Chang Xi followed Fuqing back to his home, and came back in less than half an hour, saying that his grandmother took you to Fahua Temple to see others for you." At that time, I just said that it was the son of the Bo Changhou Mansion, so I took Chang Xi and wanted to go out to see what kind of person it was. As a result, when I inquired, it turned out to be a good-looking scoundrel, and I was angry for a while, but my grandfather told me before he left that he should not have conflicts with others during this time. So when I saw people, I had to go back to the camp, thinking about carrying a letter to my grandfather. I didn't think that I had not gone far but was attacked by someone, and when I woke up, Zhang Mang was already lying on the ground, covered with blood, and I was holding the knife in my hand. ”
Hearing this, Shen Yuxiao frowned slightly, this was obviously not a coincidence, but someone deliberately arranged it like this, but who could calculate it so well, even the Fang family was counted in it. "Where is Zhang Mang's injury? Is it strict? ”
Hearing this, Shen Jinxi's face was slightly embarrassed, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, Zhao Yihe woke up in time: "It's not heavy, but it will be the same as the father-in-law in the palace in the future." ”
Does this mean that he was castrated?
Well, Shen Yuxiao's face was also embarrassed, and she coughed lightly to divert the topic: "Brother, Fuqing said that Chang Xi returned home and did not see his mother, the news at that time, except for his mother and third aunt, only Mama Cao knew, where did he get the news?" ”
"Chang Xi said that he heard Aunt Gu tell her personal maid Gui'er, and he happened to hear it, so he hurriedly ran back to report the news." Shen Jinxi thought about it in his heart, and immediately reacted, if the Su clan knew that Shen Yue was not in the camp, according to the Su clan's understanding of him, he would never let him know. It stands to reason that Aunt Gu is already a person who follows the big house, and the Fang family will not discuss anything with him, and the Su family and the third lady have just gotten the news, how could an aunt who is behind closed doors know about it, and it just happened to let Chang Xi hear it. "What does my sister mean by Aunt Gu and Chang Xi?"
"This outsider's calculation can still be guarded against, I'm afraid that someone in our courtyard will settle accounts with outsiders, and it will not be one of us who will die at that time, but the entire Shen Mansion will be buried up and down." Shen Yuxiao's voice gently knocked on Shen Jinxi's heart, and she couldn't help but turn pale.
Looking at Shen Jinxi's suddenly pale face, Shen Yuxiao gently comforted: "Brother, don't worry too much, fortunately, now we at least know the dark stakes around us, but we just want to wronged my brother to stay in this camp for a little longer." ”
Shen Jinxi naturally understood that things were not so simple, and when he heard Shen Yuxiao say this, he nodded lightly: "Sister, don't worry, my brother is fine." ”
When Shen Yuxiao explained some words to take care of herself, Zhao Yihe interrupted: "Okay, it's not too early, if you let the other side know that we are coming, I'm afraid things will change." ”
Shen Yuxiao also knew the severity, nodded at the moment, buckled the hood and followed Zhao Yihe out of Shuntian Mansion.
On the carriage, Zhao Yihe looked at Shen Yuxiao's fair face as cold as weather, and asked softly, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Yuxiao raised her head: "Please also ask the prince to send someone to watch the Shen Mansion, if Aunt Gu goes out, just follow her to see who she is connecting with." There is also Chang Xi, a personal servant who helped me find my brother, and the portraits of the two of them were painted when I returned home, and Shui Hua was sent to Linglong Fang. ”
"You're going to deal with them?"
"There is no room for others on the side of the couch, and no matter why they want to do it to us, since there is a first time, it must not be allowed to happen a second time. The mastermind behind the scenes must be found out, this is no longer an infighting in the back house, it has already involved the government and politics, and it can no longer be tolerated and nurtured. Shen Yuxiao's eyes were cold.
She had never seen her high-spirited brother, so down, Su Shi was lying on the bed with a pale face, and the picture of his eyes closed was like a knife piercing his heart.
"There is one more thing that I hope the prince can fulfill." Shen Yuxiao put aside the thoughts in her mind and looked at Zhao Yihe.
Hearing this, Zhao Yihe nodded: "You say." ”
"Get rid of Zhao Li, and let the rest develop." Shen Yuxiao said categorically.
"You want the Shen family to hand over the military power?" Zhao Yihe raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zhao Heng won't agree, the Shen family is his only bargaining chip." ”
"So I need the prince to be fulfilled, if the king of Lingjiang can figure it out, he will naturally agree, this is not only to protect the Shen family but also to protect him King Lingjiang. No matter which dynasty or generation, the emperor doesn't like his prince and is worried about his position. Shen Yuxiao's words are all this, presumably Zhao Yihe also understands.
Why did Zhao Zheng suddenly make a move against the Shen family, it was because he found that the Shen family's power was growing day by day, and Zhao Heng had already endangered himself. If the Shen family does not feint and surrender their military power, they will only receive a more cruel blow from Zhao Zheng. Only if the Shen family hands over the military power, Zhao Heng's weakness can reduce Zhao Zheng's vigilance. The emperor is not dead, in order to contain the struggle between the princes and sons, stabilizing the overall situation will naturally not let any side be too weak, and it is naturally better to have the protection of the emperor than to fight viciously.
And he has been jumping around under the emperor's nose, and you can't see when he is old and dizzy, you don't know what he thinks in his heart. If Zhao Zheng provoked Emperor Fengqing's disgust, for Zhao Heng, it was the best chance of winning.
Zhao Yihe's mind is so smart, just a little thought about it to understand the point, and nodded immediately: "Zhao Heng will go and say it." I have sent someone to the river, and ask your father to write a letter to your mother, and leave the outside affairs to me, and if there is any inconvenience, just let the girl go to Linglong Fang. Shopkeeper Lu will come forward for you. ”
Shen Yuxiao nodded, feeling indescribable about Zhao Yi and her. The first meeting was actually very annoying, but when she encountered difficulties, Zhao Yihe agreed to all her requests without saying anything, and even thought a lot for her. If you say thank you, it can't help but be a little meager.
The carriage returned to the courtyard just now, Shen Yuxiao changed back to the carriage of Princess Yong'an's Mansion, and Gu Yu drove back to Shen's Mansion. Shui Hua Zhao Yi and Pai Chun Fen guarded, and when they approached, they were sent back to Shen Mansion first.
Along the way, in addition to thinking about the future, Shen Yuxiao was grateful to Zhao Yihe for his thoughtful arrangements, after all, no one in this world has the obligation to be good to you, even for Shen Yue's sake, Zhao Yihe did a good enough.
In the Shen Mansion, Mrs. Su had already left.
The egret went back to restore the Fang clan, which made the Fang clan furious, and Tianhua quietly ran to the second gate to wait for Shen Yuxiao to come back after watching the play.
By the time Shen Yuxiao got off the carriage of Princess Yong'an's Mansion, Shui Hua had already arrived, and he and Tianhua came up to escort Shen Yuxiao back to Fanglin Garden.
Mrs. Su has already left, but after a long time of her explanation, Su's love has finally stabilized a lot. Shen Yuxiao saw that Su Shi had rested after drinking the medicine, and tucked the quilt for her, and then came out of the main house.
Standing on the cloister in the courtyard, it was already dusk, and the sunset on the horizon was particularly red today, dyeing half of the sky red and reflecting her face.
Closing her eyes slightly, and then opening them again, she couldn't see the slightest weakness, Shen Yuxiao looked at the sky and said, "The third aunt is here now?" ”
"Miss Hui, the third lady just came to see Mrs. before Miss came back, and she should still be in the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard at the moment." Mama Cao, who sent Shen Yuxiao out, heard Shen Yuxiao speak and replied.
Shen Yuxiao nodded, and instructed Shui Hua Tianhua: "Go, go to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard." ”
Shen Yuqiao and Shen Yuxiao were sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, Shen Yuqiao was too young to sit down after all, and when she saw Shen Yuxiao coming, she lost her pen and was about to run, but was grabbed by Shen Yuqiao. "What are you going to do, you just drew a stroke and you're going to run, and you get confused when you see people coming, how can you do it in the future."
Shen Yuqiao was born with a cold temperament, so Shen Yuqiao was afraid of her when she was a child, and she didn't dare to move when she said this. Blinking his eyes, he looked at Shen Yuxiao with a pitiful look.
The relationship between Shen Yuxiao and Shen Yuqiao has always been weak, since she didn't plan to pay attention to Shen Yuxiao, Shen Yuxiao naturally wouldn't be bored, and asked Lianxiang who came out of the room, "Is the third aunt here?" ”
Lianxiang looked up and saw that it was the third young lady, and hurriedly returned: "It's here, the third young lady waits, the slave will go in and report it." ”
Shen Yuxiao nodded and stood aside.
After only a while, Ma Shi came out and warmly took Shen Yuxiao's hand: "Why is Xiao'er free to come?" Come into the house and talk. ”
While pulling Shen Yuxiao, he said to Sister Shen Yuqiao: "It's getting dark, don't paint here, it's not too late to paint tomorrow day, don't spoil your eyes." ”
As soon as Shen Yuyuan heard Ma speak, she was so happy that she lost her pen and ran away, not forgetting to make a grimace at Shen Yuqiao. Seeing this, Shen Yuqiao couldn't help but be angry, and stomped his feet: "Rotten wood can't be carved!" ”
