Chapter Twenty-Four: Seven Steps to Seal the Throat

"Delusion, do you know what is wrong?" Shen Xuan pursed his lips and looked at Shen Yu seriously.

"I ......" Shen Yu rolled his eyes, not knowing how to explain.

"Please don't blame the general."

How could Xue Ling not see Shen Xuan's discomfort, he seemed to have made a lot of determination to walk in front of Shen Xuan.

"It's all a misunderstanding, the crown princess and this king don't have the intention of secretly Chen Cang. It's all wishful thinking on the part of the king, and the pair of waist pendants was also forcibly asked for by the king. ”

"The third brother is so affectionate, for the sake of his sister-in-law's innocence, he has practiced his reputation like this?" Xue Rui pulled his fingers and teased in a mocking tone.

Shen Xuan looked at Xue Ling, then at the prince, and finally lowered his head in distress and rubbed his temples. "Lord Wang, self-respect."

"Why should the royal brother be aggressive, after all, my sister-in-law has a wife, what kind of character she has, she really shouldn't listen to the wind blowing in her ears." Xue Ling was already gone, and his heart was inexplicably weak, and he picked up the words extremely sharply.

"Should this prince believe her as you say she is? Do you know who she is now? Xue Rui slapped the table, and the teacup on the table almost jumped.

Identity, identity, she Shen Delirium is Shen Delirium, don't restrain her with any identity.

"Stop arguing!" This sentence is quite imposing.

Shen Yu intercepted Qin Jing, who was about to persuade peace, and everyone's eyes in the reception hall were focused on her, Shen Yu swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm.

"Since His Royal Highness King Ling has also clarified the misunderstanding, what else is there to make a noise! If you are still not at ease, I voluntarily wrote a letter of commitment with the prince and agreed not to see each other again! ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole seat was silent, and Xue Ling also looked at the prince.

"Of course, the whole thing is not all the fault of the prince alone, what about me, there is still a lack of heat in getting along with people, I guess I did something to make the prince misunderstand, please bear with me." Shen Yu spoke with emotion, and at the end he bowed ninety degrees to Xue Ling.

"You ......"

Xue Ling originally thought that she would come to such a hero to save the beauty and apologize, but Shen Yu didn't say that she was grateful, so it should be more than enough for her to hide her face in shame.

Who expected the crown princess to be so at ease, and for a while he even had some doubts about whether his previous understanding of her was accurate.

"That's right, that's fine. I just don't know the opinion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

Shen Xuan was busy playing the round and leading the topic to Xue Rui.

"Okay." Xue Rui pinched the teacup and was silent for a long time, but he still responded lightly.

The stone in Shen Yu's heart fell to the ground, she had already prepared to fight Xue Rui with her tongue, but she didn't expect him to let go so easily, I was afraid that she had thought of something more damaging.

"Pen and ink! Pen and ink! Qin Jing urged Qi Yan, who looked like wood, to get the pen and paper.

Poor Prince Ling was arranged clearly, and no one asked him if he was willing from beginning to end......

Qi Yan was quick with his hands and feet, and he presented his pen and ink to Xue Rui in a short time.

"Write it."

Xue Rui slammed into Shen Nunu's mouth, his expression was light but extremely arrogant.

Shen Yu tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and took it doggedly and handed it to Xue Ling, "The prince will write it, and the concubine will sign it." ”

"Hmm." Xue Ling also looked at her meaningfully, as if holding her breath.

The sky can see that her words are true, and I don't know which sentence makes him dissatisfied again.

Xue Ling waved her pen freely, "I'm done." ”

"Okay." Shen Yu was about to take it with a smile on his face, but the guy let go early as if he was avoiding the plague, and the rice paper slipped lightly and fell to the ground.

"Farewell."

"Uh......" Shen Yu looked at the back of the angry person who rushed away, twitched the corners of his mouth, squatted down and picked up the letter of commitment, and signed his name in three or two strokes.

Qi Yan took it and presented it to Xue Rui, and he was looking thoughtful.

"Do you have any questions, husband? No problem, the lady will go back to the study first. ”

"Don't worry, it's rare for my father-in-law and mother-in-law to come here."

Xue Rui glanced at the rice paper and changed his face to a smile for a second.

Shen Xuan suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart, his daughter had grown up, and she took the initiative to study in the study, living up to her expectations!

"No, no, I've been bothering for a long time today, but people outside the city are talking about it, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come forward to clarify and prove the innocence of the little girl, and she is also affectionate on weekdays, so that the rumors can be self-defeating."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, since the crown princess is wronged, this is what this prince should do."

"Okay." Shen Xuan seemed to be very satisfied with Xue Rui, and finally showed his face.

"If you husband and wife have anything to do, go and get busy, and the two of us will go home by ourselves."

The servants exchanged pleasantries again before giving up, and Shen Yu was silent from beginning to end.

After dispersing, Xue Rui seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and Shen Yu planned to go back to the East Hall to have a look first.

"Big girl!" Ruoshui came out from behind the pillars of the cloister, and walked in a hurry.

"Talk as you go."

The two of them go hand in hand.

"I searched everywhere I could, but I didn't see anyone."

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much, Lin Ju is still in the dungeon?"

"Let's not talk about this first, I came here to look for the eldest girl just now, and I saw Liangdi sneakily hiding outside the reception hall and eavesdropping."

"Not strange." Shen Yu walked briskly, guessing in his mind where Lin Ju was being held.

"Shen Yu."

"Who?" Shen Yu turned his head in response, it was Chen Anyi.

"I just saw Lord Ling go to the direction of the study, don't go wrong."

Chen Anyi stood far away, still exuding an approachable and soft atmosphere.

"Thank you."

Shen Yu was too lazy to speak, and raised his feet to change the direction.

She clearly knows in her heart that if she avoids it, she can stay out of it......

Seeing the change in Shen Yu's attitude towards himself, Chen Anyi was not surprised at all. Now she has something more distressing, but she didn't expect that the prince, who has always been unable to get into the sand in his eyes, only asked for a vow that Xue Ling and Shen would never see each other again, and had no intention of divorce his wife.

Thinking of this, she became more and more uneasy.

……

Shen Yu knew what Xue Ling was returning for, so it was better to solve the misunderstanding and cut off this evil fate while there was no substantial development.

"Big girl, be careful, don't be impulsive!" Ruoshui looked solemn, and Shen Yu had no intention of explaining.

"Stay at the door, remember to call the code when someone comes."

Before Shen Yu arrived, he saw the familiar figure touch into the study, raised his feet and followed in a few slow steps.

"Lord Wang, let's get straight to the point, what do you have to say at one time, maybe this is the last time we will meet."

Shen Yu clenched his fists at the man sitting in front of the desk, seemingly chic and casual.

"Sister-in-law...... That waist wears ......"

Xue Ling opened his mouth, and then opened his mouth again, but he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"The waist should have accidentally fallen in the palace, and it was a sin to go in a hurry that day, which made the prince think too much."

Shen Yu suppressed his throat and explained politely and detachedly.

"This king knows that you have a problem, and I only want one answer, not anything else." Xue Ling seemed to have aphasia, and her thoughts were crumpled for a while, and she even forgot his original intention of coming to her.

The two seem to have nothing to do with each other, but there are invisible inextricable links.

Shen Yu sighed, Xue Ling's expression changed from his previous carelessness, and it seemed that he was serious.

"The prince can't ask for any answer from me, and besides, the prince is also a person with a marriage contract now, please go back, so as not to let people bump into him and tell the truth again."

Shen Yu turned his back to Xue Ling, afraid that he would see his panic.

"Shen Delirium! Who is self-deception? If it is said that the jade pendant is lost, then how to explain the jade inkstone you gave me? ”

"It's just an ordinary inkstone, don't speculate at will!" Shen Yu was also angry.

"Ordinary inkstone? Why is the ordinary inkstone engraved with 'husband'? ”

This time it was replaced by Shen Yu's speech, and after a long time, she explained: "But the fakes bought casually on the side of the road, if you don't believe it, you can ask Lin Li!" ”

"You!"

Xue Ling finally stood up at this time, walked to Shen Yu in three steps and two steps, reached out and grabbed the corner of her sleeve, looking a little humble, "I don't believe it, Shen Yu, so many things have happened between us since we met, I don't believe that my intuition is wrong." ”

"This is the truth, the prince has to believe it if he doesn't believe it."

Shen Yu broke away from his hand, gritted his teeth and shook the door away.

"Don't meet again."

Ruoshui saw Shen Yu go out of the door, and hurriedly followed to comfort him.

Xue Ling was left alone to stand by the door and was stunned, "You asked this king to ask Lin Li, but I didn't know that Lin Li was not by my side now." ”

Fortunately, the conversation between the two was not listened to by others, and after today's farce, Xue Rui really fulfilled his promise, frequently held banquets, and behaved intimately with Shen Yu at the banquet.

The Prince's Mansion was rare and peaceful for a while, and Shen Yu and Ruoshui Ruogu were still secretly poking and searching for Lin Ju's whereabouts, except for the news that Lin Ju was not in the dungeon sent by Chen Anyi, nothing else was found.

It's just that Xue Rui won't hurt him if he asks for a word, and Shen Yu is no longer so worried.

Although the surface is calm, Shen Yu does not dare to relax completely, Xue Rui's temperament of retribution, he will never let her go so easily.

Now Xue Rui's grounding of her has become more and more relaxed, and the guards have turned a blind eye.

On this day, Shen Yu and Ruogu Ruoshui were playing chess and chatting in the study after dinner, and Qi Yan sent a bowl of black chicken soup, saying that it was a reward from His Royal Highness the Prince.

Shen Yuhu looked at the visitor suspiciously, gritted his teeth, and was bored.

"The taste is okay, is there anything else?" Shen Yu smacked his lips after drinking, and Qi Yan left without saying a word.

"With the same temperament as Wu Xuan, he deserves to be a master and apprentice." If the water smacks the tongue.

"I don't know how Brother Lin's food is, when will we be able to rescue him." Wakaya talked.

"There are assassins!" There was a sudden commotion outside the door.

Shen Yu was shocked, "What's the noise outside the door?" Walk! ”

The servants pushed open the door, and Qi Yan was fighting with a man in black in the courtyard, obviously struggling.

Lying next to the pillar was the fainted Xue Rui, and two helpless guards squatting beside him were calling for help.

"What's wrong with him?" Shen Yu trotted to Xue Rui's side.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated as soon as he entered the courtyard, and the thief sprinkled a handful of poison powder, and His Royal Highness struggled for a while and passed out directly......"

Shen Yu didn't hear the words clearly, only focused on touching the prince's pulse and probing his snort.

"His Royal Highness is a seven-step throat seal, call the doctor!" Qi Yan took the time to shout at Shen Yu while wrestling with the man in black.

The man in black took advantage of this loophole, kicked the man away, turned around and flew away.

"Wakaya, go find the doctor!"

"Little master, I have heard this poison from the master, it is extremely poisonous, and it takes people's breath within seven steps."

Shen Yu was in a hurry for a while, "Xue Rui, don't die in the courtyard where I live, otherwise I won't be able to explain it clearly!" ”

"Otherwise, the crown princess will try to temper her strength, and it would be best to ...... if she can drag the doctor to come" The weak proposal of the guard on the side.

"No, the little lord is cautious, beware of poisoning." Ruogu disagreed very much, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shen Yu did not deal with each other, why should he sacrifice his life to save him.

"I can't care so much."

Shen Yu also seemed to be ruthless, patted Xue Rui's flushed face, and pinched his nose for a few breaths.

Ruoya reluctantly probed Xue Rui's faint snort, and there was a slight big upheaving.

"Ahem." Shen Yu suddenly felt a tingling sensation on the tip of his tongue, which quickly spread to his throat.

Gritting her teeth, she opened Xue Rui's mouth a few more times.

"Wakaya, I can't breathe."

"Little Lord!" Ruogu was so anxious that he was sweating, and he remembered Xue Rui in his heart.

Feeling the tingling sensation spread to her lungs, her whole body was like a fish out of water, her face and neck flushed, and she rolled on the ground in pain by pinching her neck.

"The doctor is here!"
