Chapter 120: Utilization
Pei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the palace, and when he saw Shen Jiajue waiting for him at the gate of the palace, he hurriedly stepped forward again, and when he saw that he was about to speak, he hurriedly whispered: "I'll talk about it when I go back." β
Shen Jiajue looked at the eyes of the officials who were looking at Pei Yuan intentionally or unintentionally, and only felt that his scalp was numb, so he hurriedly followed Pei Yuan into the carriage, and ordered the coachman to leave here quickly.
After going back, both of them frowned tightly and looked serious, which made Shen Jiahe know what was going on at a glance, and Shen Jiajue had no intention of hiding it from her, so she told Shen Jiahe everything about the early dynasty.
"I didn't know that I just sent a sword, and it ended up attracting so many words from the emperor, if I had known that it would become like this, I wouldn't have done this stupid thing!" Shen Jiajue was annoyed, Pei Yuan was now a thorn in the emperor's side, and then he gave him an excellent reason to mock Pei Yuan for hiding his strength.
Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Yuan worriedly, and was also a little embarrassed: "I also blame me, I thought that this sword was useless, so I sent my brother to play with it, but I didn't expect to be self-defeating by him and affect you." β
Pei Yuan's brows furrowed, and he smiled at Shen Jiahe: "Where will I blame you, the emperor has been jealous of me for a long time, and he is worried that Pei Shu will have any accidents when he succeeds to the throne in the future, so he wants to unite with the courtiers to deal with me, even if he hides this time, he will use other excuses in the future, and you brothers and sisters don't blame yourself." β
Shen Jiajue was not comforted by these words, and asked him with a bitter face: "Will there be any courtiers impeaching you or something else in the future?" You need to be prepared. β
Pei Yuan pondered for a while and nodded back: "Recently, I want to tell my subordinates to let them all hide a little, even if those ministers of the emperor's faction want to deal with me, they will not find evidence, don't worry." β
In this way, Shen Jiajue was really relieved, Pei Yuan still had to arrange some things in the Yuan Pavilion, and by the way, he went to say hello to the persons in charge of the industries under him, and went back after staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time.
Shen Jiahe sent him away with his front foot, and received an invitation from the queen of the palace with his back foot, Bai Ying glanced at it a little strangely: "What does this queen want to do?" How can you let the young lady go to receive the reward for no reason? β
Bai Ying's strange point Shen Jiahe naturally felt strange, but there was no reason to refuse the queen's post.
Seeing that Shen Jiahe didn't speak, Bai Ying asked again: "Do you want to tell my uncle?" The last time you attended the flower viewing banquet in the harem, it was thanks to your aunt who went to the palace to deliver a message, otherwise I don't know how that person would deal with you. β
Shen Jiahe thought about it but rejected Bai Ying's proposal, and instead ordered: "You go and hand over the news to the people in the Prince's Mansion to know." β
Bai Ying suspected that she had misheard: "The Prince's Mansion? Why are you telling the prince about this? β
"For the sake of once and for all, you can do as I say." Shen Jiahe confirmed.
At the same time that Bai Ying went to the prince's mansion, the little father-in-law who came out to deliver the post also returned to the harem to reply, and the queen waved him back before tilting her head and talking to Mama Xu on the side: "She is very bold, and the palace is afraid that she will not be able to make excuses." β
"You are the queen, how dare she not come!" Mama Xu smiled, and then remembered that she had been ordered to do things before, so she continued to reply, "There are also things you ordered, which have been done, and there is no return for her." β
The queen sighed, she remembered that when she first met Shen Jiahe, she really liked this good-looking and talented girl, but not only did she have no fate with the prince, but she also made trouble so that the prince had no human form all day, so she had to force her to take action.
"Alas, what a pity, such a good child!" The queen reached out and pinched her eyebrows.
Mama Xu lowered her head and said: "The queen mother is kind, but who makes her not know what to do, and besides, we always have to think about it for the prince." β
Thinking of Pei Shu, the queen felt even more bored and had a headache, so she waved her hand to let everyone around her retreat, and slowly closed her eyes by leaning on the beauty couch.
The next day, after breakfast, Shen Jiahe took Bai Ying to the palace, leaving Bai Ying outside as usual, and he followed the palace people who led the way all the way into Qiwu Palace.
After Shen Jiahe saluted, the queen instructed the chief manager Xu beside her to send the reward down, "You saved Concubine Xuan a few days ago, and these are all rewards for your merits." β
"Empress Xie!" Shen Jiahe blessed his body.
The queen nodded, and then gestured to Manager Xu, and then the palace people in the hall were cleared, leaving only Manager Xu and Mama Xu to accompany the queen.
Shen Jiahe listened to the sound of the palace door slowly closing, and raised his originally lowered head directly to look at the queen: "What is the queen mother doing?" β
The queen also stared at her eyes, and after a long time, she still didn't want to take the last step, so she asked out loud: "Shen Jiahe, this palace admires you very much, because this palace wants to ask you one last time, are you willing to give up Pei Yuan, remarry my son, and become the daughter-in-law of this palace." β
Shen Jiahe laughed: "The queen is really joking, the courtier is about to marry the prince Xian, and she will never go back on her word at this time, besides, the courtier has already said that the fate of the courtier and the prince has been exhausted." β
The queen snorted coldly and stood up: "Then don't blame the palace for being unkind!" β
She raised her hand and waved back, Shen Jiahe said that it was not good, so she turned around and ran towards the palace door, behind her was the unique shrill voice of Manager Xu: "Miss Shen, it's too late, you shouldn't go against the queen, don't bother!" β
The black-clothed man who came out from around the hall has begun to gradually shrink the encirclement of Shen Jiahe, Shen Jiahe raised his hand and touched his wrist, she can't carry any sharp weapons when she enters the palace, and all she can count on now is the only hidden weapon in her hand.
But there were a lot of opponents, and Shen Jiahe didn't dare to expose his hole cards so quickly, so he had to step back nervously, and secretly aimed his wrist at the nearest man in black.
Just when the man in black got closer and closer, and Shen Jiahe had already raised his hand to touch the mechanism and was about to press it, the door of the main hall was kicked open from the outside, and the sunlight shone directly on Shen Jiahe's back from the door, and with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she put down her hands.
"What is the Queen Mother doing?" The person who came was Pei Shu.
He learned about the queen's intention to summon Shen Jiahe into the palace early in the morning, and he wanted to turn around in it, but Alai next to him learned about it from Bai Ying's mouth.
He wanted to write a letter to Shen Jiahe to get her attention, but immediately put down his pen, crumpled the letterhead with only a few words and threw it in the paper basket.
Since Shen Jiahe was taken home, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion have become incompatible, Bai Ying deliberately released the news naturally at the behest of Shen Jiahe, she wanted to come forward to save him herself, but this time she didn't go to Pei Yuan, which made Pei Shu sit at the table and laugh softly.
He wanted to beg the queen to stop and directly exempt Shen Jiahe from entering the palace to be rewarded for a while, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not enough for Shen Jiahe to be moved by himself, he must appear in time, and he must rescue her from a very dangerous environment, so that she will remember herself and be grateful to herself.
Thinking like this, Pei Shu communicated well with the eyes and ears in the harem, and just waited for him to give a signal, and he rushed in to rescue the beauty as soon as possible.
The queen looked at Pei Shu standing in the main hall, and then looked at Manager Xu beside her and frowned, Manager Xu had no choice but to bow down and explain to Pei Shu: "The queen has no intention of doing anything to Miss Shen, everything is for the good of the prince." β
Pei Shu didn't look at Manager Xu, he still stared at the queen, stretched out his hand in front of Shen Jiahe, and made a protective gesture: "The secret guards have appeared, does the queen mother think that such a statement can be accepted?" β
"Shut up!" The queen looked at Pei Shu sadly, gritted her teeth and said, "If you can be more angry, why should I embarrass a girl's family." β
Pei Shu's face turned pale, and he turned slightly to look at Shen Jiahe, only to see her hanging her head and unable to see her expression, so she turned back to face the queen: "Prime Minister's daughter, the future princess, if something really happens in the mother's harem, can you really get out of the way?" β
Without waiting for the queen to speak, Pei Shu turned directly to Shen Jiahe and whispered a word to her: "Go." β
Then he followed Shen Jiahe outside without raising his head, and the black-clothed men on both sides looked at him and looked up at the queen, and when they saw that there was no command, they quietly retreated.
The queen looked at the empty hall, leaned back on the back of the chair dejectedly, and felt as if all her strength had been drained in an instant: "It seems that the prince is really going to be destroyed by this woman." β
Mama Xu on the side kept staring at the backs of Pei Shu and Shen Jiahe outside, until she couldn't see anything, then she bent down and whispered: "Queen Mother, the slave maid thinks that the prince is a little strange this time, do you want to check if there is a possibility of leaking news in this palace." β
The queen suddenly laughed when she heard this, she looked sideways at Mama Xu, with a different look in her eyes: "If he can put eyes and ears in my palace, it means that he is not too much to support the wall, let him go!" β
Pei Shu kept sending Shen Jiahe to the gate of the palace, and when he saw that she was about to get into the carriage, he hurriedly shouted: "Shen Jiahe, are you leaving like this?" β
Shen Jiahe turned to look at him, and only bowed his head slightly: "There is Prince Lao to save me, thank you." β
After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around, Pei Shu took two steps forward and grabbed her sleeve: "That's it?" That's all you tell me? β
Bai Ying stood aside and was about to reason with him, but was stopped by Shen Jiahe raising her hand, she gently tore her sleeves away from his hand, and took two steps back before looking directly at Pei Shu and said, "What does the prince want to hear?" Your mother wants to kill me, I will vote this news to you, let you save my life, but it also saved your mother's life, this is a deal, I thank you a lot. β
Pei Shu suddenly laughed, he looked at Shen Jiahe in front of the gate of the palace that symbolized his powerful position, and suddenly regained the momentum of a superior person: "What I said to the queen mother, but I don't want her to be too disappointed in me, do you really think that she can't touch your little courtier?" β
Shen Jiahe frowned, looked at him impatiently and asked, "If you have something to say, let's talk about it directly." β
"You marry me," Pei Shu smiled and took a step forward, "As long as you marry me, the queen mother will not trouble you, to be precise, no one in this world will trouble you, and even in the future, you will be like my queen mother, sitting in the position above ten thousand people under one person." Besides, if you asked Bai Ying to deliver me the news this time, isn't it because Pei Yuan can't save you that you will find me? β
Shen Jiahe suddenly remembered at this moment that Pei Yuan had refused to assist him several times, and had repeatedly told himself and his family that he would never fight for that position, but why did some people always feel that such a position was wanted by everyone?
Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Shu suspiciously, and then laughed softly, just when Pei Shu wanted to continue to lobby herself, she opened her mouth gently: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending not to understand with me?" β
"What did you say?" Pei Shu twisted his eyebrows and looked at each other.
Shen Jiahe shook his head and said helplessly: "It seems that you are really stupid, I asked Bai Ying to tell you the specific time, but you are still so late today, I thought you could see that I was using you this time, but I didn't expect you to know anything, then you were deliberately late, in order to make me more grateful to you?" Then you are really stupid and naΓ―ve. β
Looking at Pei Shu's gray face, Shen Jiahe said the last sentence: "Pei Shu, this is the difference between you and Pei Yuan, if it were him today, he would definitely not even let me enter the palace gate, have you ever thought that if your plan is wrong, when you go to Qiwu Palace today, all you see is a corpse." The two of us are at the end of our fate, and you don't have to bother anymore. β
