Chapter 399: Trembling
Su Shanyun looked at Yan Jinxuan who was sleeping infatuatedly, and felt that no one had ever made her feel so cordial and reassuring.
She reached out and stroked his face, from the broad forehead, curved eyebrows, and tall nose to sexy lips, over and over again, reluctant to leave her hand.
This is the man she loves to the bone, and he makes her the happiest woman in the world.
She looked at him intently.
It's so good-looking! She said to herself, and couldn't help leaning over and kissing his face.
He seemed to notice it, and hugged her tighter.
Su Shanyun gently tucked the corners of the quilt for him, and closed his eyes in his arms with peace of mind.
That night, she slept very peacefully.
When she woke up, she habitually looked to the side, but found that Yan Jinxuan's figure was gone, and when she looked out the window, it turned out that it was already bright, and she was busy sitting up.
Suddenly realizing that he was wearing nothing, he hurriedly grabbed his nightgown and put it on his body.
"Green Lotus." She whispered outside.
"It's coming, it's coming." Green Lotus trotted in.
"Has the second master gone to the ya?"
"Yes, yes, he asked the slave not to wake you up, so the slave didn't dare to call you." Green Lotus said cautiously.
Su Shanyun smiled slightly and got out of bed.
Maybe she was getting used to it, so even though the amount of bed/exercise that hadn't decreased in the slightest compared to the night before last night didn't overwhelm her, she walked lightly into the clean room to wash.
After that, it's time to change clothes, eat breakfast, plan the day's work to the next person, and start painting.
She is very satisfied with her current life.
said that Yan Jinxuan went out with thirty entourages early this morning.
Emperor Zhu Zhi really announced the election of the Ministry of Industry as soon as he came to the court.
The ministers wrote down their chosen people on paper. Then it was enveloped and dropped into the ballot box.
In order to show justice, the emperor asked people to count the votes on the spot.
Everyone waited nervously.
While waiting, Yan Jinxuan glanced at Yan Shichong and found that the latter was waiting calmly, and didn't seem to care too much about the result of the votes.
Yan Jinxuan was slightly stunned.
Yan Shichong's demeanor was a little unexpected.
But at the same time, it also raised his vigilance against him.
Yan Jinxuan looked at the second prince again, and found that the second prince was also not too nervous, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Be especially careful when things seem smooth at the beginning.
So Yan Jinxuan's heart rose again.
When the notary announced that Yan Jinxuan had the highest number of votes, the loyal ministers applauded warmly, but Yan Jinxuan did not feel particularly happy, he vaguely felt that this matter would not go so smoothly.
Therefore, he behaved calmly.
"Sure enough, it's a person who has passed through the incident, and he doesn't even smile in front of such a happy thing." The ministers whispered in private.
Retreat. The emperor Xuanyan Jinxuan went to the Yinghua Palace to meet him.
"Yan Aiqing. What are your thoughts on the number of votes that are so much higher than everyone else's? The emperor asked with a smile.
In fact, he already wanted Yan Jinxuan to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
"Thanks to everyone's love, Weichen is flattered." Yan Jinxuan said modestly.
"If you were asked to be the secretary of the Ministry of Works, what would you do?" The emperor asked again.
The meaning of this sentence could not be more obvious, and Yan Jinxuan answered his question in detail.
Since he has worked in the Ministry of Industry for six years. And on weekdays, he often cooperates with the Ministry of Works. Therefore, Yan Jinxuan still knows the work of this position very well.
Because understood. So the plans he made were very practical, useful, and convincing.
The emperor nodded again and again after hearing this.
After a while, the emperor said, "I will give you three days to write a report on your appointment." ”
"Yes." Yan Jinxuan hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Yan Jinxuan knew that the emperor had also passed this hurdle.
So. There is already an 80 percent chance that he will bid for the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
He left the Yinghua Hall with a grateful heart.
The news of Yan Jinxuan's summons by the emperor soon reached the ears of Yan Shichong and the second prince, and they immediately met at the Juxiang Teahouse.
"It seems that the emperor is also inclined to choose him." Yan Shichong said with a cold face.
"What are you afraid of, don't we have one last resort?" The second prince said.
Yan Shichong hurriedly approached the second prince's ear and said, "Tomorrow will be the final link, we must make a move before tomorrow." ”
"I know, isn't that what I told you?" The second prince smiled lightly.
That night, Yan Jinxuan didn't come back very late.
Su Shanyun sat in the room like last night, reading a book and waiting.
The wind seemed to be stronger tonight than usual, blowing the candles on the windowsill to the point of dying.
"Close the window." Su Shanyun said to Mama Song.
Mama Song went to close the window.
Su Shanyun took a sip of tea and looked up at the dark sky outside the window.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little nervous.
Today was the day of the election, so she sent someone outside the palace in the afternoon to inquire. When she learned that the second master won by 20 votes higher than Zhang Jiaben, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, things are not yet the final decision, and variables still exist in minutes, so she is still not very reassured.
"Madam, why don't you go take a bath first?" Mama Song asked softly.
She knew that Su Shanyun was nervous, so she wanted to find something to distract her.
Su Shanyun waved his hand and said, "Let's stay for a while." ”
The night breeze was a little cool, and Su Shanyun hurriedly took a thin coat and put it on.
In the past, she felt very relieved to listen to the sound of insects in the courtyard, but tonight she was sad. She got up and walked out of the room, standing in the veranda and looking out.
Since there were people guarding the outside of the house, she didn't worry much about her safety, and she was most worried about Yan Jinxuan's at the moment.
She paced restlessly in the verandah.
Suddenly, someone came in with a torch outside the door of the hanging flowers.
Su Shanyun hurriedly looked there. A man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old was seen limping towards her.
Su Shanyun frowned slightly, and looked at him vigilantly.
But seeing that there was blood on his face and clothes, Su Shanyun's heart suddenly sank.
The man knelt down in front of Su Shanyun, and said in a mournful tone: "Madam, I am Zhang San, the second master's entourage, and the second master was assassinated on the way back. ”
Su Shanyun only felt a bang in his head, and his body was unstable when he stood up.
Mama Song hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Su Shanyun, who had relieved his breath a little, hurriedly asked, "How could he have been assassinated?" Where is he now? ”
"About a quarter of an hour ago, Xiao and Shen Zhigang, Dai Liu, Feng Zixi and other thirty people escorted Lord Yan out of the palace to rush here, but when they arrived at the Degongli Bridge, hundreds of people suddenly came out from both ends of the bridge, and they firmly surrounded us on the bridge at once, and we had to fight to the death, but because of the disparity in numbers, we couldn't defeat them in the end." The visitor said with a sad face.
"Let's get to the point, how is the second master?" Su Shanyun asked.
"They came for the second master, so they ......"
"So what?" Su Shanyun asked tremblingly.
"So they besieged him with nearly a hundred men, and he was barely able to deal with it, but then his strength gradually became exhausted, and one of them stabbed him twice."
Su Shanyun's body shook again, and finally stabilized her emotions and asked, "Then what?" ”
"That scene happened to be seen by the little one, the little one and more than thirty brothers frantically killed the crowd and rushed towards those people, and finally killed them, drove them away, and our brothers were all killed, only the little one was still alive, the little one wanted to carry Lord Yan back, but the little leg and arm were too seriously injured to carry him, and although Lord Yan's carriage was still there, but the horse was ridden away by the enemy, and in desperation, the little one had to drag Lord Yan to the grass on the side of the road, and then rushed to report to you." (To be continued.) )
