As soon as Shen Yun left, he left Tian Jiyao alone at home to accompany the old lady, knowing that the old lady was worried, Tian Jiyao told everything that happened in southern Huainan and along the way, of course, only reporting good news and not bad news.

Hearing that the two of them had survived every crisis without danger, the old lady couldn't help but sigh.

Tian Jiyao also thought about not telling her at all, but thinking that they had been gone for so long, if they didn't say anything, the old lady would definitely be even more worried, Tian Jiyao just picked some small things and said them again.

Shen Yun left home and went straight to the palace, and when he met the prince and the three princes and Chu Ci at the gate of the palace, Shen Yun didn't want to have an intersection with the three, but he was stopped by the prince.

"Shen Yun? What are you doing in the palace without thinking about it behind closed doors at home? The prince looked at Shen Yun with a puzzled face and asked.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Prince of Chu." Shen Yun had to stop and greet the three of them, and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower officials are not thinking about it behind closed doors, but the emperor has other arrangements, and now that the matter is over, it is natural to enter the palace to meet the saint." ”

The prince was very surprised and asked, "I don't know what Lord Shen is going to do?" Entered the palace in such a hurry. I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in my heart, but I didn't show it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm really sorry, I can't say anything about this." Shen Yun said indifferently.

Seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, the prince was very angry and said angrily: "Shen Yun, don't think that with your father supporting you, you can do whatever you want, dare to offend this prince, and sooner or later make you look good." ”

Faced with the prince's embarrassment, Shen Yun was not afraid at all, and said coldly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, why do you bother? He really felt that this prince had a hole in his brain, otherwise how could he ask such a brainless question.

Seeing the embarrassment of the scene, Chu Ci stepped forward and said, "Lord Shen, hurry up and enter the palace, I believe that the emperor is still waiting for your reply, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not embarrass Lord Shen." After speaking, he smiled at Shen Yun.

"Thank you, Chu Shizi."

Shen Yun arched his hand and went directly into the palace, regardless of whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be unhappy or not, as for the third prince who had not spoken on the side, his eyes were always gloomy when he looked at Shen Yun.

"You said that the emperor asked Shen Yun to do something this time, but it was so secretive that no news came out." Chu Ci looked at Shen Yun's back and asked thoughtfully.

"Who knows, it's not going to be a good thing anyway." The prince said angrily.

The third prince didn't speak, but his eyes were gloomy and compassionate, looking at Shen Yun's back and squinting his eyes, flashing with an unknown cold light, Shen Yun didn't know all this anymore, even if he knew, he wouldn't waver in the slightest.

"Wechen knocks to see the emperor." As soon as Shen Yun entered the imperial study, the emperor stopped what he was doing, looked at him and asked with a solemn face, "How are things going?" ”

Shen Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "The stand-in of the county guard was intercepted and killed outside the city last night. After saying that, he stood there silently, waiting for the emperor's next question, at least he couldn't say it casually until then.

When the emperor heard this, he was immediately furious, slapped the table and said: "It's really rampant, these people simply don't take me seriously, but do the people behind it know?" ”

Shen Yun said loudly: "Wu Shoucheng didn't tell Weichen, but as long as he can save Wu Shoucheng's life, he will tell the main messenger behind it, presumably because he is afraid that the person behind it will intercept and kill him." ”

"Hmph, it's really cunning, but now that the stand-in is dead, you should also ask who is behind it as soon as possible." The emperor said coldly, for there has always been a pair of hands pinching behind his back, and the emperor still feels very aggrieved in his heart after all.

"Your Majesty, this matter can't be counted like this, otherwise there will be a next time, such an endless threat, I'm afraid it will ......" Shen Yun stopped and didn't continue.

Hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said: "This matter will be handed over to you to investigate, remember to find out the real culprit behind it, no matter who that person is, I must see the result." ”

Shen Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

This matter itself has something to do with him, and now that the emperor has handed it over to him to investigate, it is obvious that he has great trust in him, but thinking of the person behind it, Shen Yun couldn't help but look solemn.

"You go down first, remember to tell me as soon as there is any situation." The emperor waved his hand and said in a very tired tone.

Shen Yun knelt down and exited the imperial study, and as soon as he came out, he met the queen, as if he was waiting for him deliberately, Shen Yun frowned and said, "I've seen the queen's mother." ”

The queen stared at Shen Yun for a while, and said, "Lord Shen hasn't seen you for a long time, and it seems that your complexion has not been very good lately." In the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of cruelty.

Shen Yun replied expressionlessly: "Thank you for the queen's concern, the lower official is fine, I don't know what the queen has to do with the lower official?" He wondered what the queen was waiting for him to do.

I met the three princes outside the palace before, and now I am the queen again, which is really strange.

Seeing Shen Yun's cold face, the queen pulled the corners of her mouth a little embarrassed, took a box from the palace maid's hand and said: "These are some small jewelry prepared by the palace, which were originally given to Mrs. Shen, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to see Mrs. Shen, so I dragged Lord Shen to help bring it to Mrs. Shen." ”

Shen Yun frowned, and didn't go to pick up the box and said: "Thank you for the reward of the queen mother, but it is useless, the queen mother should take it back, and my wife will not accept the queen's gift for no reason." ”

Hearing Shen Yun's words, the queen almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth with hatred, and said, "Lord Shen doesn't need to postpone it, this palace is not just for Mrs. Shen alone, so let's ask Lord Shen to be Mrs. Shen's subordinate." ”

After speaking, he stuffed the box containing jewelry into Shen Yun's hand, and his expression became much colder.

Knowing that he couldn't refuse now, Shen Yun could only accept the things and said, "That Weichen thanked the queen for the gift of his wife. After saying that, he left with the jewelry box.

Looking at the back of Shen Yun leaving, the corners of the queen's mouth hooked up a touch of cold summer, and a faint trace of cruelty flashed.

As soon as he returned home, Shen Yun gave the jewelry to Tian Jiyao and said: "This is given by the queen, saying that you are not the only one who got it, and I don't know if it is true, but it is better to be careful so as not to be calculated." ”

Tian Jiyao looked at the jewelry and said, "I know, but what does the queen mean by doing this?" ”
