Chapter 21: Are You Shy?

However, she couldn't resist at all now, and could only watch as he reached over and ripped open the hem of her undershirt.

It's over, it's all over! The pond fish closed its eyes in despair. There are old scars and burns on her body, as long as they fall into Shen Qihuai's eyes, there is no room for argument.

She's real and will die again!

With grief and hatred in her heart, Chi Yu whimpered, her road to revenge was cut off here, how can people be willing!

The placket slid down his shoulders, and the scars must have been clearly visible in the dimly lit bed. The pond fish trembled and waited for death to come again, and after waiting for a while, he felt his body sink suddenly, and the room was quiet for some reason.

What's going on? Chiyu was stunned and immediately opened his eyes.

Shen Qihuai fell on top of her, his eyes were closed, as if he had fainted, and his hands, which were clearly rough and powerful, were now hanging softly on the bedstring.

The candle burning on the table jumped to the spark, and there was a "pop" sound, and the pond fish suddenly turned its head sideways, and saw a person slowly coming from the outer room.

"It's useless to say you're useless, you're really useless to show me." Shen Guyuan lifted the gauze curtain at the partition expressionlessly, staring at her with beautiful eyes, full of contempt: "You can be fooled by this trick." ”

For some reason, seeing him, Chi Yu felt very aggrieved, fell out of bed with a flat mouth, and shouted pitifully: "Master." ”

"Suffered, right?" Shen Guyuan looked at her condescendingly: "Do you really think that Shen Qihuai is so easy to deal with, and he will completely trust you with just a few words?" ”

"I ......" Chi Yu's nose was sour: "I didn't expect him to come to this trick, I was clearly ...... for me before, without any desire"

Sneered. Shen Guyuan picked up Shen Qihuai on the bed, stuffed a pill into his mouth and threw it back on the bed, turning around and hooking his hand towards the little pitiful hook on the ground:

"Come here."

Chi Yu nodded and wanted to stand up, but his legs were so weak that he fell back as soon as he got up, and tears couldn't help but come up again.

"Tsk." Walking over impatiently, Shen Guyuan took off his robe to cover her whole person, then hugged her, pouted, and said, "I know crying!" ”

"I ......" Chi Yu reached out and pinched his shirt, choking up, "I'm a little uncomfortable." ”

"It's good to have a little more brains next time, and there's nothing uncomfortable about it." Shen Guyuan glanced at her.

"No......" grabbed him, Chi Yu licked his lips, and his face was red: "I mean...... I'm a little sick. ”

Well? Shen Guyuan glanced at her blankly, then looked at the burning candle, and frowned slightly: "Hehuan incense." ”

"Do you smell okay?" Chi Yu's mind was a little unclear, and he reached out and grabbed his hand and rubbed it on his face: "It's so cool." ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Shen Guyuan picked her up and walked out.

"Go...... Where to? ”

"I can't solve this thing in you." Shen Guyuan's expression was solemn: "Then you can only find someone to have fun, otherwise you will have to die at dawn." ”

Chiyu frowned: "I don't want to ......"

"Dead or alive, which do you choose?"

"Naturally...... Alive. ”

"Then shut up!"

It's so fierce, the pond fish has a flat mouth, and while he is delirious, he can finally smell the cold fragrance on his body.

"Hey!" The neck was tickled, Shen Guyuan was full of excitement, and pinched her: "You are sober!" ”

"Well......" Holding him, Chi Yu said in a daze: "I think I'm quite lucky, every time I have an accident, you will come to save me." ”

Shen Guyuan sneered: "You also reflect on it occasionally, why do you always cause trouble for me, right?" ”

"Right...... I'm sorry. Chi Yu hugged him tightly: "No one has ever blocked these things for me, meet you...... That's nice. ”

The body was hot, so hot that his heart was ironed, Shen Guyuan frowned and stopped, touched her forehead, cursed in a low voice, turned around and walked in a different direction.

The inn on Yongfu Street was still lit, and Xiao Er was yawning and standing at the door waiting for the overnight guests, just feeling sleepy, and he felt a gust of breeze blowing in his face, blowing a fairy-like man.

"Are there any rooms available?" The man asked coldly.

After glancing at him blankly, Xiao Er came back to his senses, and hurriedly jumped up and bowed: "Yes, yes!" The guest officer upstairs, please, the No. 1 room of Tianzi is still empty. ”

The man bowed his head, followed him upstairs, found the room, gave him money, and shut him out of the door.

The snow-white hair and brocade robe were gone, and Xiao Er was in a trance for a long time before patting his head and muttering, "Hey, it's so good-looking." ”

Chiyu was already pale red, Shen Guyuan looked at it with a headache, thought for a long time, but still took off his clothes and hugged her to bed.

This kind of poison can be solved by just finding someone to intersect with, and it really doesn't need him to spend his energy. Can...... That's it, he's soft-hearted, so he should accumulate merit and help her.

The pond fish was dazed, thinking that they would have nightmares at night, but unexpectedly, they had a good night's sleep, and when they woke up, they seemed to smell the cold fragrance of plum blossoms in their noses.

Well? Wait, it looks like I really smelled it!

"Brush" opened her eyes, and what Chiyu saw was a face very close to her, and her long eyelashes were almost sweeping to her forehead.

Sitting up suddenly, Chiyu found that he was wearing a new undershirt, the wound on his wrist had been medicated, and his tongue hurt a little, but it didn't seem to be bleeding.

What's even more terrifying is that Shen Guyuan, who was lying next to her, had no upper body, the perfect body line was half-hidden under the white hair, and a sleeping face was harmless to humans and animals.

"Hmm."

Woken up by her movements, Shen Guyuan half-opened his eyes, and his brows furrowed: "Early in the morning, what are you pulling my quilt for?" ”

Covering his nose with his hands, Chiyu smiled at him: "I didn't mean to. ”

With a slight picky eye, Shen Guyuan sat up and looked at her, and snorted: "Don't think wrong about me." ”

"Who...... Who has a wrong idea? Chi Yu glared: "I'm just ......"

"Just look at me so good-looking, so I got a nosebleed?" Shen Guyuan snorted lightly, and mockingly wiped her hand covering her nose, her fingers red.

Blood is already running down your fingers? Chiyu smiled awkwardly and simply let go of his hand.

With blood all over his face, Shen Guyuan shook his head, took a handkerchief and wiped it for her, and said: "The poison of Hehuan incense has been resolved, you are too hot inside, and it will be fine if you eat something that is on fire for two days." ”

Oh, the poison is cured! Chi Yu nodded blankly: "Thank you, Master." ”

Xie Wan felt that something was wrong, Chi Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, and his face suddenly turned red: "You helped me detoxify?!" ”

"Or else?" yawned, Shen Guyuan squinted at her: "If it weren't for me, you would be dead." ”

Let's say so, but! Chiyu looked down at himself and then at him, with mixed feelings.

Shen Guyuan is her life-saving benefactor, and it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with promising each other, but she is full of hatred, and she hasn't thought about anything else at all.

But they also wanted to save her life, and they didn't seem to care about it at all, so they should ...... You can assume that it didn't happen, right?

Scratching his hair tangledly, the pond fish roared in his heart, how could it be that it didn't happen! How important is the name of the daughter's family, even if it is detoxification, it can't just be gone!

Shen Guyuan watched coldly, just looking at this person scratching his ears and cheeks like a madman. I wanted to tell her that he was just using his luck to force poison, but suddenly felt that Ning Chiyu's appearance was quite funny.

Then don't tell her, let her toss herself.

Getting out of bed and dressing in a good mood, Shen Guyuan tied a tie and said nonchalantly: "Shen Qihuai, I'll help you deal with it, he wakes up today, and he will only think that he has had a round room with you." ”

Well? As soon as he heard this, Chi Yu came back to his senses and glared at him: "How did you do this?" ”

"Use drugs." Shen Guyuan opened his eyes: "Only he is allowed to take the drug, but I am not allowed to take the drug?" ”

"What kind of drug can be so powerful?" Chiyu blinked: "I've never heard of it." ”

"The world is full of wonders, and there are many things you haven't heard of." Glancing at her, Shen Guyuan said impatiently: "Woke me up, do you still want to continue sleeping?" Hurry up and clean up and go back to the palace. ”

"Oh!" Immediately jumped out of bed, the pond fish freshened up, changed into the new clothes hanging on the screen next to it, and then walked to the palace first.

Before entering the door, Chi Yu was still a little apprehensive, after all, last night's experience was terrifying, and she was worried that Shen Qihuai would remember it.

However, upon entering the door, she found herself overly worried.

"Where have you been?" Shen Qihuai stood by the big fish pond in the vestibule and looked back at her, his eyebrows were very gentle: "I won't see you together, this king is very worried." ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Chi Yu felt that he couldn't smile at all at this disgusting face, so he could only bow his head, and said in a voice as steady as possible: "The chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming, and I want to go and see when I get up." ”

"You're shy, aren't you?" Shen Qihuai chuckled and stretched out his hand to pull her, but saw her exclaim and avoided him: "Wow, this fish is so big." ”

After a slight pause, he withdrew his hand, followed her gaze, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the oldest koi in the house, many years ago, when someone came to the house, the prince of Zhennan specially asked people to buy it back at a high price." ”

"Oh?" Chi Yu raised his eyebrows: "Who has such an honor?" Let the old prince bother like this. ”

"Who else." Shen Qihuai smiled: "Naturally, it is the deceased Chiyu County Lord." Legend has it that before Princess Ning gave birth to the county lord, she dreamed of a big fish in the pond. Pond fish, pond fish are also suffering. Si Ming said that it was an ominous omen, so Prince Ning named the county lord Chiyu. I hope to save my life in the name and avoid disasters. Before she came to the palace, the king of Zhennan was afraid that she would spoil the feng shui of the palace, so he also specially got such a big fish back. ”

The body stiffened, and the pond fish was a little dazed.

Ten years ago, Shen Qihuai didn't say that, he said that her name was "Chi Yu", in order to make her not lonely, the old prince got a big fish to come back to accompany her. So she often came to see this big fish, and she also missed the old prince.

Outcome...... It turned out to be a lie to her?

How many years did she have to be stupid to feel that the people around her were kind to her? These people ...... Either watch out for her behind her back, or painstakingly calculate her and use her. What is it in their hearts?

"Pond fish." Shen Qihuai looked at her curiously: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm tired." She came back to her senses and didn't look up, "Can I go back to sleep a little longer?" ”

"Okay." Shen Qihuai was very easy to speak: "Go and rest, this king wants to enter the palace." ”

The pond fish bowed and turned to leave.

Yunyan came out of the darkness and stood silently behind Shen Qihuai.

"Is there anything else you don't feel comfortable with?" Shen Qihuai smiled: "She is already the king's person." ”

"I still have to ask the prince to be careful." Yun Yan said: "Before her." After all, he is also the person of the Three Princes. ”

There was so much movement in the room, and the shadows listened every time.

Suddenly a little unhappy, Shen Qihuai glanced back at him and frowned slightly: "Have you been drugged by Youwei?" ”

Yunyan was taken aback: "Why did the prince say this?" ”

With a light snort, Shen Qihuai didn't say much, brushed his sleeves and left, leaving Yunyan standing alone, sweating coldly.

Three Divisions of the Mansion.

Shen Zhibai stood in front of Shen Guyuan, the corners of his forehead were tense, but he still said clearly: "The Huainan envoy is a distant relative of the prime minister's family, and he was exposed by me in public for corruption, and he can't get over it, and he has already entered Beijing." The Huainan area has more taxes than in previous years, and it has not been harsh on the people, it is all from the private treasury of officials, and the other ......"

Unable to go on, Shen Zhibai looked at Shen Guyuan angrily: "Can I beat you up first?" ”

"Huh?" Shen Guyuan had an expression of "you are sick": "What are you doing beating me?" I didn't mess with you. ”

Shen Zhibai couldn't help it. slapped him on the desk and said angrily: "You've been laughing since I came in, and the more I say you're smiling, the more funny you are!" ”

It's too much! He can laugh at such a serious matter as taxation, is he mocking him for what he has done wrong!

"Am I laughing?" Shen Guyuan touched his face and said innocently: "No, what's so funny?" ”

He just remembered Ning Chiyu's flustered and tangled expression this morning, and thought it was funny. If she should have scared her a little longer, she would have widened her eyes and said to him in a panic, "Master, what should I do?" ”

"Poof." Thinking of that, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shen Zhibai's face darkened, and he was no longer as gentle and calm as before, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step on his desk.

"Little Hou Ye!" Zhao Yinma next to him hurriedly restrained him and dragged him out.

"General Zhao." Shen Zhibai was very unhappy: "He owes a beating, and you still protect him!" ”

Zhao Yinma shook his head with palpitations: "Little Hou Ye, I am protecting you." ”

"Huh?" Shen Zhibai frowned: "I know martial arts!" ”

"Me too." Zhao Yinma smiled dryly: "But yesterday I wanted to make a move with His Highness, but the two moves haven't arrived yet...... Take care of the little marquis. ”

Slightly surprised, Shen Zhibai was a little surprised: "His martial arts are so high?" You are recognized as the number one samurai in the court. ”

"I'm ashamed." Zhao Yuma scratched the back of his head: "Many years ago, I lost to the Compassion Prince when I was fifty moves, I thought that I could make progress after a few years of hard work, but I didn't expect that in His Highness, I couldn't pass two moves." ”

Looking at his fist, Shen Zhibai touched it back into his sleeve, but he was still angry: "If you have high martial arts, you can be unscrupulous? I'm here to help, so dedicated, he doesn't know that his attitude is better! ”

"Rest your anger, stop your anger." Zhao Yinmahaha smiled and played a round game: "But we've been very happy recently, today I also beat up a group of dog officials who want to fool things and oppress the people, that taste, not to mention how refreshing!" ”

That's right, when Shen Qihuai was in charge of the autumn harvest before, they also worked hard, but they encountered corruption. If you go up, it's often all in vain. Asked one or two, Shen Qihuai perfunctorily said that he had been too busy recently, and he would talk about it after the autumn harvest was over.

The autumn harvest is over, and the borers who should be full have eaten, what else to talk about? Shen Zhibai did this before.

However, now, Shen Guyuan, who is not afraid of heaven and is not afraid, allowed them to cut first and then play, and even asked them for two imperial decrees, so that they can do things with their waists very straight.

Originally, he came to help for the sake of Chiyu's face, but until now, Shen Zhibai had to admire Shen Guyuan for two points.

Thinking about it like this, his anger disappeared, he snorted lightly and looked at the account book in his hand: "It's still almost, let's work harder." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yinma bowed: "I will definitely do my best." ”

It's just that, according to the taxes in today's accounts, even if they do their best, I'm afraid it will be...... It's a little difficult.

When night fell, Shen Qihuai had not yet returned from the palace, and Chi Yu quietly left the study and stuffed the things he brought out into the Yaochi Pavilion.

"This is leaving?" Shen Guyuan lit the lamp and glanced at the tiptoeing man.

Stiffened, Chi Yu said a little embarrassed: "I can't stay here for a long time." ”

"What are you afraid of, the shadows are already asleep, and no one can find you." Shen Guyuan took out the carved stool and patted it: "Sit down." ”

Chi Yu turned around stubbornly, not daring to look at him, and sat down obediently, staring at the stack of things she put on the table.

"Have you figured it out?" Shen Guyuan asked her slowly: "As long as these things are given to me, he will find out that you are a spy at that time, and you can't stay by his side." ”

"Who wants to stay by his side?" Chiyu grinds his teeth: "I just want him to stay on the road to Huangquan!" ”

"That's good." Shen Guyuan nodded: "Leave it to me." ”

"Do you know how to use these?" Chi Yu hurriedly grabbed the stack of things and explained them one by one seriously: "Except for him, only I can understand these things, there are black words and secret words on it, I wrote you a cracked booklet, you can read it." In addition, you can rewrite the roster so that you can see it at a glance when the time comes. ”

As soon as she talked about it, she gushed endlessly. Shen Guyuan looked at her with his chin propped up, and said funny: "Not shy? ”

Chi Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately coaxed again, buried his head and said, "Who ...... Who is shy? ”

"Aren't you so obsessed with what happened last night that you don't dare to look at me squarely?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows.

Pond Fish: "......"

Anyone else will be haunted by this, okay? Although she is not a stingy person, she ...... Looking at him now, I always feel weird in my heart.

Seeing her expression, Shen Guyuan couldn't help but laugh again: "Hahaha-"

Annoyed and angry, the pond fish stepped on him with courage, and ran away after stepping on it!

"Stop!" There was a low shout from behind, and she pretended not to hear, and ran back to the Mercy Pavilion guest room in a puff of smoke.

When I closed the door, my heart was still pounding.

pressed his heart, Chiyu was silent for a long time, and covered himself in the quilt.

Can't think about it, can't think about it, that's her master, according to her original identity, she also has to call Uncle Huang, even if something happens, it is a last resort in a hurry, and it must not affect her heart. A man's loss is enough to eat once.

After reciting the Diamond Sutra silently a few times, she calmed down and wanted to go to bed, but when she looked at the bed, the nausea in her heart came up again, and she simply turned her head and hugged the new quilt and spread it on the soft couch.

The autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the grain received from all over the country has been put into storage, and the details are all presented in the above table.

In the Sansi Mansion, Shen Zhibai frowned and looked at the man in front of him, and only asked after a while: "Is it really okay?" ”

"You've done everything you need to do, and there's no problem." Shen Guyuan casually put the fold down and looked at him sideways: "Worried about me?" ”

"Nope." Shen Zhibai shook his head: "Chiyu asked me to help you, I'm just worried that if you can't fulfill your promise, she will also be affected." ”

It's a lover, huh? Shen Guyuan's eyes rolled and hooked his hand at him.

"Do what?" Shen Zhibai looked at him vigilantly, but still subconsciously leaned over two steps.

"You helped me a lot this time, even at the expense of offending the prime minister's family, I owe you a favor." Shen Guyuan said seriously: "In order to repay this favor, I will marry Chiyu to you, how about it?" ”

Slightly startled, Shen Zhibai glared: "You ......"

"Don't mess with me." Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows: "You already like her." ”

These days, Shen Zhibai supervised the tax collection in Huainan and Huaibei for him, went out early and returned late every day, and got lost outside several times and couldn't return home, and there were many people who offended. If you don't like it, how can you go to the soup like this for Ning Chiyu in a word.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys are at the beginning of love. It's not strange to like anyone, but Shen Guyuan thinks it's strange that this thoughtful and capable little marquis is blind to the pond fish?

Let's count Ning Chiyu's luck, since the luck has come to the door, he has to help her.

"Whoever Zhibai likes, he will marry." After looking at him fixedly for a long time, Shen Zhibai took a half step back: "Don't worry about the Third Emperor Uncle." ”

So grumpy? Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows: "But if you don't have my help, it's very difficult to marry her." ”

gave him a very confident look, and Shen Zhibai waved his sleeves and stepped out of the door.

Zhao Yuma next to him looked at it and said worriedly: "The little marquis is going out, and I don't know when I will be able to return to the palace, let's send him off." ”

"Not necessarily." Shen Guyuan narrowed his eyes: "This person is stubborn, even if he knows that he can't do it, he will definitely do it." ”

It's like this to recognize the road, and it's the same way to want to be with Ningchi fish.

Zhao Yinma sighed. Stretched out his hand and handed him the calculated account: "Lord Wang, let's take a look at this first." ”

They have all done their best, and the obstacles they have encountered are not small, and there are many, and it is impossible to solve them all in a while. The autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the grain in storage is still much less than what Shen Guyuan promised.

"If you have calculated it, you will need at least five million stone of grain." Zhao Yinma said: "It's almost impossible to complete. ”

"What are you anxious about?" Shen Guyuan held his chin and glanced at the account: "It's almost like this." ”

Is this still called "so little"? Zhao Yuma looked at him worriedly, not knowing what to say.

After getting along with each other during this time, he felt that Shen Guyuan was a good person, although he spoke fiercely, he was not ambiguous at all in doing things, and his martial arts were also extremely high, and he would guide him to two tricks in his spare time. It's really a pity if it's just degraded.

Shen Zhibai, who was walking outside in no direction, also felt the same, the court was muddy, and only Shen Guyuan was different. Although he doesn't like his attitude towards Chiyu, such a prince is what the court needs and what he wants to see.

However, after the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that it will be ...... It's goodbye forever.

"He eats a sugar gourd mountain every day."

In the Compassion Pavilion, Shen Qihuai held his forehead and chuckled: "I'm afraid I'm going to die quickly." ”

Chiyu stood beside him, his face unwavering.

"The defense of the four is ready." Yunyan arched his hand and said: "In the past two days, it is impossible for anyone to force the guards to leave the capital, and it is the same at night. ”

"Okay." Shen Qihuai's eyes lit up: "Let's take a look at this imperial uncle, what else is there to retreat!" ”

"Tomorrow is the autumn party, Shen Guyuan has not fulfilled his promise, and he will definitely escape tonight." Chi Yu said seriously: "Lord Wang, be careful. ”

Shen Qihuai was confident: "This king knows that his martial arts are very high, but all the guards in the capital are ready, and even the guards in the official mansion have been transferred a lot by this king. No matter how high his martial arts are, it is impossible for him to leave. ”

"Then the pond fish will wish the prince in advance and get what he wants." The head of the pond fish.

"Hahaha!" Shen Qihuai was in a very good mood, and stretched out his hand to pull her, his eyes were deep: "Thanks to you, Chiyu." ”

"The prince has won the award." Chi Yu looked at him and smiled: "As long as I can make the damned people suffer the retribution they deserve, I can do whatever I want." ”

Shen Qihuai was stunned for a moment, feeling that when she said this, there seemed to be hatred in her eyes. But if you look closely, it seems that he is dazzled. Chi Yu's eyes looked at him, clearly full of admiration.

Puzzled for a moment, he didn't think much about it. Tonight is a critical time.

The Mercy Palace, shrouded in night, was very quiet, however, as soon as the hour arrived, a sound of weapons colliding sounded from the Yaochi Pavilion.

"As expected." Looking at Shen Guyuan in front of him, Yun Yan sneered: "His Royal Highness, in the middle of the night, with so many things, where are you going?" ”

Shen Guyuan's white hair was blown by the night wind, his robe was fierce, and he sneered at him with his burden: "When I go out for a walk, it's your turn to take care of it?" ”

"The prince commanded. Let us swear to protect Your Highness to the death. Yunyan arched his hand: "It's sinister outside, the prince should stay in Yaochi Pavilion." ”

"I want to leave, do you think you can stay?" Hooking his lips, Shen Guyuan flew out of the courtyard wall.

"Stop him!" Yunyan's face sank: "I want to live!" ”

"Yes!"

The Compassion Palace's Mansion became lively in an instant, Shen Qihuai listened with his coat on, hooked his lips and smiled, poured a cup of hot tea and drank it by himself.

The capital was in chaos, and the people who were sleeping in a daze didn't know what was going on, they only felt that the officers and soldiers were coming and going, and the whole capital was restless. By daybreak, everything seemed to have finally subsided.

After dawn, it's time for the autumn party.

The treasury is heavy, the young lord sits on the jade step dragon chair, Shen Qihuai stands beside him, the four princes all sit on both sides, and there are many important ministers in the court.

There shouldn't have been such a big battle, but Shen Qihuai said. Today is the first achievement of the three princes who have just returned, and naturally the more people present, the better, so that he can establish his prestige. So everyone was invited. The four princes who knew a little bit about the situation all understood that Shen Guyuan was in a catastrophe today, so they didn't want to come. Unexpectedly, Shen Qihuai went to pick them up one by one, telling them to hide if they wanted to.

Prince Xiao's eyes were full of worry, and he dragged the officials around him and began to say: "The rain this year is not very good, and the harvest is not very good." ”

"The Prince's words are wrong." Shen Qihuai smiled: "This year's wind and rain are smooth, and the harvest will definitely be as the three princes wish." ”

"My decree has been written." The young master on the dragon chair said in a milky voice: "It's time to change your words about the emperor who abandoned Huai, he is the prince, and his title is benevolent." ”

"Your Majesty's holy decree, let's wait until today's acceptance is over." Glancing at the direction of the treasury gate, Shen Qihuai sneered: "It's almost noon, and no one has come yet." ”

When he said this, the officials around him all remembered: "Yes, it's so late, what about the Third Highness?" ”

"Isn't it time to get to the treasury early in the morning?"

"It's not that I know that I didn't fulfill my promise. So cringe? ”

"Rest assured, everybody." Shen Qihuai looked very convinced of him: "The Third Highness is hard to chase after him, so everyone wait patiently." ”

said that, but he knew very well in his heart that Shen Guyuan would not come today.

In a fierce battle last night, Shen Guyuan ran all over the capital, causing chickens and dogs to jump everywhere, and he lost more than 100 troops and failed to catch him. Although he was displeased, it didn't matter, Shen Guyuan was scattered by five stones, and it was impossible to come back, so he still got what he wanted. When all the dust settles, the power of the autumn harvest will fall back into his hands, and the four old men who are in the way will have no position to say more.

It's a no-lose deal.

The hourglass leaked another bag, and half an hour passed, and the voices of the crowd were getting louder and louder, mixed with doubts and worries. The corners of Shen Qihuai's mouth rose, and he was about to turn his head to say something to the young master, when he heard a voice in front of him-

"There are quite a lot of people."

The voice as cold as frost instantly stopped the overwhelming noise. When they followed the sound, they saw a man in the distance, dressed fiercely.

With white hair behind him, his red robe was covered with fine patterns, Shen Guyuan's eyebrows were as handsome as ever, and the corners of his lips still had a smile that seemed to be mocking.

"I'm worried about how to let everyone in the DPRK and China know about it, and at the moment, I don't need to bother."

Seeing him appear, the four princes breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Qihuai's face changed greatly, and he took two steps forward in surprise: "You ......"

Shen Guyuan didn't escape? And, alive?

How is this possible? He has already shaken off the pursuit, he should leave the capital immediately, how can there be any reason to turn around and come back to die?

"Why is the prince like this?" Facing him, Shen Guyuan hooked his lips and smiled: "Aren't you sure that I will come?" I'm here, why are you surprised? ”

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Shen Qihuai calmed down, and said in a not very friendly tone: "What surprised this king is that His Highness came down too late. ”

"I'm sorry." Shen Guyuan hooked his lips: "I planned to enter the palace last night, but I didn't expect to encounter trouble, if it weren't for the martial arts and passable, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come today." ”

Prince Xiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not much, it's just that I met an assassination, and I'm still a guard in the palace." Shen Guyuan glanced at Shen Qihuai with a smile: "I have captured thirty people alive, and they have all been tied up for the prince and thrown in prison." There are so many spies in the house, if you want to provoke the relationship between me and the prince, you must let Tingwei be examined. ”

A guard, so to speak, can be said to be an undercover agent sent by someone else, intending to frame Shen Qihuai. If the thirty palace guards all went to assassinate the three princes, it would not be a coincidence, it could only be the mastermind of Shen Qihuai.

The hearts of the people are clear. couldn't help but look at Shen Qihuai. Xu Zongzheng, who was lower, said with a slight reproach: "Lord Wang, the royal family is in the same blood, how can you ......?"

"It has nothing to do with this king." Shen Qihuai stubbornly said: "The Third Highness is afraid that he has not completed the military order and has a weak heart, so he made up such a thing to slander this king." ”

"Oh?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows, stood at the foot of the jade steps, and raised his eyes to look at him fixedly: "Then if I complete the military order, I won't be slandering you?" ”

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to each other. Shen Qihuai glanced at him, snorted coldly and stood with his hands in his hands: "As far as this king knows, the Third Highness is afraid that it is still almost." ”

"It's the accounts." Shen Guyuan stretched out his hand and handed the account book to the great eunuch: "Please take a look at Your Majesty." ”

The big eunuch respectfully took it with both hands and held it in front of the young master.

However, before the little emperor could stretch out his hand, Shen Qihuai snatched it up, flipped to the end, and said with a sneer: "Your Royal Highness, don't bully Your Majesty when you are young and don't understand the accounts, there is clearly a gap of five million stone grains!" ”

"Dare to ask the prince." Shen Guyuan asked unhurriedly: "How much is a stone of grain worth?" ”

Shen Qihuai paused, and a civil official next to him helped answer: "According to the price of grain in the capital, one stone of grain is fifty taels of silver." ”

"That's right." Shen Guyuan raised the corner of his eyes, stretched out his hand and handed over another scroll: "This is 30 million taels of silver, which is equal to 6 million stones of grain, please take a look at it, Your Majesty." ”

Several princes were stunned, Prince Xiao hurriedly got up, went to pick up the thing first, and the four princes gathered around and watched together.

Shen Qihuai looked at it and sneered: "This roll of paper is worth 30 million taels of silver?" Is it that the king didn't wake up, or is the Third Highness dreaming? ”

Shen Guyuan smiled and said nothing, the autumn wind blew, and the snow-white hair brushed his eyebrows and eyes, and the palace maid next to him lost his mind for a while.

"Your Majesty!" After the four princes saw the thing, they all knelt down: "Please Your Majesty quickly return to the Yuqing Palace, gather the ministers, and discuss this matter together!" ”

The young master was startled and almost stood up from the dragon chair: "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Qihuai also sank his eyes, walked down the jade steps in three steps, took the long scroll in Prince Xiao's hand and unfolded it.

It turned out to be a corruption fold!

"The largest sum should be in the treasury of the Compassion Palace, which has five million taels of silver." Shen Guyuanyun looked at him lightly and said, "I went to see it last night, and it was all sealed well, and the soil was buried." The soil is new, presumably the stolen silver that was just delivered this year. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tearing up the long scroll, Shen Qihuai was furious: "Shen Guyuan, you are urging the autumn harvest to be unfavorable, so you have come to slander this king and the important ministers of the court?!" ”

The scroll was full of the names of officials and the amount of embezzlement, and even the place where the stolen money was hidden. You don't need to look closely, just look at the first name, Shen Qihuai will know. Shen Guyuan really found out.

However, he will not admit it, and he will not be able to admit it.

"Is it slander, isn't it known at a glance?" Shen Guyuan sneered and raised his eyes to look at him: "Or is it that the prince has a weak heart and doesn't dare to let people check at all?" ”

Shen Qihuai looked at him angrily: "You! ”

The sky was instantly gloomy, the young lord on the dragon chair trembled, and grabbed the sleeve of the great eunuch uneasily, and the hundred officials also held their breath and did not dare to make a sound, looking at Shen Qihuai who was angry on the jade steps in fear.

The King of Compassion has always been a smiling face, and it has been a long time since he has been so angry. It's a terrible face to distort.

After a long time, Xu Zongzheng stood up and cautiously made a round: "These things, when they are handed over to the Tingwei Mansion for review, there are too many people involved, and I am afraid that it will be ...... for a while."

"It makes sense, it makes sense." Yang Tingwei also came out and said, "Let's hand it over to the lower officials to file the case first." Today was supposed to accept the results of the autumn harvest supervised by His Royal Highness, which is far away. ”

"How can this be considered a long way?" Shen Zhibai stood up and said with a righteous face: "Collecting grain is collecting, and collecting embezzled silver is not collected?" All that is cultivated by the people should go to the treasury. Shouldn't they be counted together? ”

"yes." Prince Xiao also nodded: "This is indeed the same thing, but this file is very important and widely implicated, and if you want to verify it, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome." ”

"Even so, it should be considered that the Third Highness has fulfilled his promise." Prince Jing helped: "These two things are counted together, and it is indeed twice the tax revenue of last year. ”

"But if you calculate it like this, isn't it equivalent to confirming the corruption of these officials?" Mrs. Xue frowned: "After all, this piece of paper, without evidence, is really thin." ”

Especially the five million taels of the King of Compassion, if you really sit down, it's a big deal.

Shen Guyuan looked at Shen Qihuai. The latter's gaze was fierce, stabbing at him like a sword.

Smiling slightly, Shen Guyuan brushed his robe and said: "The major affairs of the court and the central government have always been discussed by the four princes, and the prince is the master of compassion, and the holy lord will issue an edict again. This should be the case today, so please work hard with the princes and the merciful prince. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised. Among the people he sued, there was also the King of Compassion, and he even let the King of Compassion be the master?

However, Shen Qihuai's face was even more ugly, and the shredded paper in his hand was no longer crumpled.

After so many years, the Shen royal family, for the first time, there was an opponent who made him feel a headache.

Well, very good!

"This king has a clear conscience, and since he has been accused for no reason, he must always give an explanation." Throwing away the shredded paper, Shen Qihuai sneered: "Your Royal Highness's autumn harvest this time, the credit must be there, but the promise has not been fulfilled, and it cannot be regarded as winning or losing." For the sake of justice, ask Your Highness the Third Highness to supervise the Imperial Governor's Mansion and confiscate all the stolen money that you think exists into the treasury. Once the number is reached, it is considered that the Three Highnesses have won. ”

"However, if there is a stroke written above that wrongs others, then His Highness loses, how about it?"
