Hua Juncheng's gaze suddenly became obscure. But soon, he immediately showed that Maitreya Buddha-like smile on his face and said, "What is the reason? It's been so long, there's no need to mention it anymore. If you really like the Han family kid and think that he is worthy of entrustment, your uncle will not force you not to marry, anyway, your uncle will always protect you when he is alive. ”

"Where is it!" Shen Yan was depressed, obviously talking about the Hua family, but he was involved with Han Ji again. But in the next second, she paused suddenly, Hua Juncheng was not such a non-compatible, how could he say such a sentence without a head or a brain? She looked at him and said, "Uncle refuses to move to Jingshi, what does it have to do with the Han family?" ”

Hua Juncheng snorted, "How is it possible?" I don't know the Han family at all. ”

If you are not familiar, how can you know so many things about Wei Guogong?

The more he is like this, the more doubtful it becomes.

Hua Juncheng has always had a deep prejudice against Wei Guogong, according to him, it is because Wei Guogong had a private affair with Princess Chen, and as a close friend of King Chen, it is reasonable that Hua Juncheng will not wait to see Wei Guogong because of this. But think about it again, now that King Chen and Princess Chen have been dead for so long, it is obviously unreasonable for him as an outsider to express such great indignation at this private affair without King Chen even finding out.

If he couldn't even tolerate this little thing, then why hadn't he said anything radical about the emperor and the courtiers who had participated in the massacre of Chen's palace in those years? Why is it only for the Han family?

It's hard to do it, except for this one. What else is there that can't be done?

Not only is there an inside story, but this inside story is likely to be so important that Hua Juncheng would rather bury it in his heart than mention it. He was obviously against her marrying Han Ji, but in the end, he didn't say anything to make her feel blocked, and only then did he say that it had been a long time since the matter had passed, and there was no need to pursue it, that is, it was possible that there was no way to pursue it.

There is no way to pursue it, of course he will not take the initiative to sue her again, after all, she is the daughter-in-law of Wei Guogong after passing the door, standing in his position, it is suspected of provoking if she says too much.

Shen Yan looked at him. Silently, he took a sip of wine.

"You're cold. No alcohol. Hua Juncheng snatched her cup and looked at him.

The face is full of friendly and talkative, but the shrewdness that flashed just now is no longer visible.

Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask my uncle. Do you know what other descendants King Chen left behind? I heard that Princess Chen died with a nearly eight-month-old fetus in her womb. That baby was not born. If so, where did you go? ”

"How can there be descendants?" Hua Juncheng looked left and right, although he knew that this was his home. It is unlikely that there will be outsiders on his side, but the caution he has cultivated over the years still makes him extra careful. "Princess Chen is indeed pregnant, but I don't know if she was born or not. I haven't seen her body either. ”

Shen Yan silently drank the cold-dispelling soup that Mrs. Hua had asked her to boil.

Hua Juncheng was able to answer these questions, which shows that the later estrangement between the Hua family and Chen Wangfu was just a cover-up. Even if it is a cover-up, the suspicious emperor will inevitably be suspicious. After suspicion and verification, he is just making things difficult from time to time, and when he thinks about it, it is too abnormal.

"Look at the plum branches we folded!"

Hua Zhengyu's clear voice that belonged to his age came from the door, and after the three of them, the subordinates carried a branch to bring in a half-human-tall plum branch, and the fiery red plum blossoms were dotted on the gray and black branches, which were indescribably beautiful.

Hua Zhengyu flew over to Shen Yan's side and said happily: "Sister Yan, my eldest brother-in-law just sent someone to send a lot of game, they went hunting in the suburbs, and my sister said that we can roast rabbits in Qianxuezhai at night!" ”

Shen Yan was interrupted from the conversation, and simply became happy: "Really? That's great, it's better to get a few more pheasants, if there's a lamb or something, it's best, I haven't eaten a whole roast lamb in a long time! ”

"Isn't that easy?" Hua Juncheng seemed very happy to change the topic because of this, and the gloomy color between his eyebrows was temporarily erased, "This is to let people go to Zhuangzi to catch two of them." ”

The Hua family went to Zhuangzi here, and the people who were watching immediately sent the news back to the Chu Palace.

"The spies came to report that the Hua family has returned to live in the house for the past few days because of their aunt and grandmother, and Shen Yan, the second girl of the Shen family, is also living in the house.

"Just now, their eldest aunt sent some game to the door, and Hua Juncheng sent people to catch livestock in the village, and I heard that they were going to have fun in their back garden at night. The Hua family has a small population, only Hua Juncheng and his wife and three children. Now with the addition of Shen Yan, it is just an extra burden.

"In addition, they also inquired that Hua Juncheng has a small private warehouse, this warehouse is set up at the back of the courtyard of his study, it is not big, and the design is also very hidden, he is the only one holding the key, the key is made by a well-known craftsman who makes the news, and if you want to put some unknown things, usually no one can get it."

Song Zhengyuan reported in his usual deep voice.

The king of Chu sat on the Hu bed with his knees crossed, one leg stretched out, and the wide robe emanating made him look a little gloomy.

"What about the defense of their house?" He asked.

Song Zhengyuan said: "The Hua family has a group of high-quality martial arts guards, about thirty, and it is said that any one of them can take down one of our guards within a hundred moves." And then there are thirty more ordinary nursing homes. In addition, Shen Yan suddenly had two more hidden masters beside him, and the spies said that they looked like the guards beside Han Ji. ”

King Chu paused for a moment, shook the wine jug in his hand, and curled his lips gloomily, "The dozen or so people around Han Ji are really powerful, I didn't expect him to send all his guards to Shen Yan, it's really touching!" He sneered, raising the jug to his lips and taking a sip of wine. Then he spat out the wine and said, "What do you say if I do something to Shen Yan, how will Han Ji react?" ”

Song Zhengyuan lowered his eyes, "I will inevitably rush to the first aid." ”

King Chu leaned over with his elbows and sneered, but he gritted his teeth again and looked at him: "I can't afford to miss this matter, don't move Shen Yan at this juncture." I remember that An Ninghou Liu Yan used a plan to almost make the Shen Gu family become enemies, but now this method can also be borrowed by me. ”

Song Zhengyuan raised his head: "What does the prince mean?" ”

He stood up with his sleeves brushed up, squinted his eyes and said, "Right now, I am embattled, not only the Shen family and the Han family are my enemies, but the Empress Zheng Wang is my enemy. Liu Kuo, the servant of the ministry, has not replaced Liu Yan as the head of the Liu family's relatives now? I set up such a game, if I just dealt with Hua Juncheng, wouldn't it be too wasteful? ”

Song Zhengyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, his eyes immediately lit up, and he arched his hand and said: "The prince is wise!" The lower official will go to arrange it. ”

The king of Chu sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the snow outside the window, and his expression suddenly became even more gloomy than this night.

Wise or not, he can only do this. In the past, he couldn't help but be proud, but now, even his father has forced him to embark on this road of no return, what else can he be proud of? Think about these years, the so-called honor and favor are just a void in the end, and what his future is is not in his own hands, but the person on the throne who looks familiar but is actually strange.

If he doesn't succeed, he will die.

The Hua family's house occupies an area not much smaller than the Shen family, and after nightfall, compared with usual, tonight's back house looks particularly jubilant.

At the end of the year, it was supposed to be a time for rest and recreation, and Mrs. Hua was in a very good mood these days because of her eldest daughter's return to Ningning. After leaving the son-in-law to have dinner in the house, he beckoned the housekeeper to clean up the yard in the back garden to barbecue meat.

Shen Yan was a little weak because of the cold, so he drank a big bowl of ginger and jujube soup in the morning, slept for two hours, sweated, and felt a little looser. It turned out that Mrs. Hua told her that if she was uncomfortable, she could talk to her in the house, but she loved to be lively and didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so she wrapped herself as a bear and went to Qianxuezhai.

When he entered the garden, He Qun came from under the corner. He whispered: "Girl, the prince sent someone to send this to you." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his cuff that had been folded into a concentric knot and handed it to her.

Shen Yan's face turned red, glanced at him, and said, "Got it." ”

I thought it was some boring words, so she turned her back and read the letter, but she immediately turned around again and called with a solemn face: "He Qun is back!" ”

He Qun returned to his eyes in an instant, "What does the girl command?" ”

Shen Yan glanced at the contents of the letter again, and said: "The prince said that the king of Chu entered the palace two days ago and saw the driver, and he didn't know what was discussed, but the current situation of the king of Chu is very unfavorable to him, and any action at this time may be related to his planned counterattack. I and the son of the world have offended the king of Chu, and he asked you and Luo Shen to be more careful these days. ”

He Qun bowed his head: "The person who came here has simply told the little ones, the girls can rest assured, the little ones will never leave the girl's side." ”

Shen Yan folded the letter with his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't have to be coming at me, harming people is not just killing people and kidnapping." It's just that it's best to be careful. Then, apart from me, I hope you can also take care of Washington by the way. By the way, haven't you become familiar with the nursing home in Washington these days? Or you go and discuss with them, don't talk too much, just say that at the end of the year, you can prevent thieves from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. ”

He Qun nodded: "The little one obeys." ”

Shen Yanmu sent him away, sat on the porch railing with the letter for a while, and immediately took his skirt back to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Hua was walking from outside the house, and when she saw her, she smiled and said, "I said I wanted you to stay and don't go." I thought she couldn't stay up and came back.

Shen Yan smiled, pulled her into the house, sat down and said, "I just received news that the King of Chu went to talk to the emperor late at night. This King of Chu has repeatedly disturbed me, but it is really annoying. At this time, I went to the emperor, and I don't know what kind of moth will come out? I just hope that it doesn't bother my uncle and aunt. (To be continued......)
