Chapter 117: Traps
"Only you can take out the grass rhinoceros, after all, you have been in charge of the medicine department for so many years."
"Smart people always think too much, and I can't restrain myself from this."
Min Yun ...... Her thoughts are deep and heavy, and her actions are also biased, and she has already chosen to play chess. β
Shen Tingnian peeled off the cocoon and unveiled it one by one.
"And you, you are the shadow in the shadows, you are helping the Shen family."
Yu Yan looked at Shen Tingnian quietly, full of emotion, after all, there was only one piece of advice dyed with wind, frost, rain and snow: "People are not always black and white, and they don't always have a purpose. β
"I don't believe it, you have no reason to help me."
"Isn't it a reason to like you?"
Shen Tingnian was speechless by her words.
She asked unwillingly: "Then what is your relationship with Min Yun?" β
"She and I entered the palace in the same year, and we have no other personal relationships." Yu Yan's response was natural and casual.
This is a deliberate denial, Shen Tingnian was silent, "If I don't take the initiative to take over Li Ronghua's affairs, do you plan-"
"The mother is kind and intelligent, and there is nothing wrong with keeping a child." Yu Yan's relieved tone made Shen Tingnian's heart feel slightly relieved, sometimes it's like this, you feel that you are doing something right, but after all, you are not very down-to-earth, but if someone tells you, you just did not do anything wrong, with a tone of affirmation and appreciation.
It's very ironing.
"It's up to you to say that." Shen Tingnian snorted.
She lay back comfortably, and asked in a homely chatting tone, "The queen will definitely not spare Li Ronghua's life, and she can't send her out of the palace at this juncture, what do you say?" β
The tail note is upturned, and there is an innocent little expression on his face.
Yu Yan inevitably softened her expression, and she even showed a slight smile, "Niangniang is in her chest, she must be planning to steal the day." β
This is boring, I guessed it all of a sudden, Shen Tingnian lost a little sense of accomplishment, as if nothing could be difficult for her, "What about the child, do you think I will raise it myself?" β
The prince just sent her a three-year-old child, and now there is a newborn baby, and she is not here Futian Yuan Anjifang has the responsibility to take in orphans.
"If you want to raise it, if you don't want to raise it, wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to the palace and let him send him out of the palace."
As soon as Shen Tingnian heard the word prince, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to laugh, but then quickly pressed it down, and he didn't know what to think, and his expression became solemn.
"The queen kept this child in case of emergency-" She was uneasy, and she was afraid that she would think too much, and even began to be angry that the queen's behavior was too ominous, "What kind of mother is she, if she is really afraid that the prince is in danger, why not find a way to stop him from leaving the palace!" I'll do it for myself......"
If the prince has an accident, the queen will definitely support the 'eldest grandson' in order to stabilize her position, for her, what is the royal bloodline, her own life of glory and wealth is the most important, she has survived the first half of her life, and she can't boil it in vain.
Not to mention that there is a behemoth Qi family behind her, entrenched in the head of the capital family for decades, the power is intricate, and the extraordinary family is comparable, don't look at the many upstarts in the court now, especially the Zhao family is in the limelight because of Zhao Xiang's promotion to the Privy Council, but if you really want to compete with the Qi family, it is still far behind.
"I didn't know before, but now that I think about it, I'm so angry, no wonder the prince hasn't let me take care of that child, this fool!" Shen Tingnian figured out this layer, she could still endure it during the day, but now that there was no one here, she naturally showed her emotions, angry and distressed, the heart of the queen of anger was really hard and cold, and she felt sorry for the prince, a pig man, and lied to her that it was the same as going back to the north as before, and she would come back after a walk, saying that she was reluctant to leave for too long, and would miss her...... He went out again to fish.
Yu Yan listened silently, understanding that she was just catharsis and didn't need anyone else to say anything.
Shen Tingnian's most distressed thing is the transparency of the prince, he understands what the queen is doing, but he doesn't blame her at all, he only worries about being misunderstood by himself.
"I am telling you this to tell you that no matter whether I raise the child or not, I will not give it to the queen and make her happy."
Not only that, but she also has to fight against the other party's army, but this baby boy is a female baby, if she can really use it, she will also be busy.
Yu Yan can cooperate with her during the day, Shen Tingnian is not an accident, even if the relationship between the Shen family is abandoned, Yu Yan is not the kind of person who ignores life, and there must be some unavoidable reason for obeying the queen.
It's just that this matter is involved in her, Shen Tingnian privately wanted to keep her in Changxinyuan, but at the beginning Yu Yan made it clear that she would not stay.
"Niangniang, don't worry about me, fate is predestined, and the road is my own," Yu Yan looked at her, calmed down from the thoughts of a hundred turns, and slowly said the last words, "Take care, may Niangniang be safe and happy in the future, and turn evil into good fortune." β
Her heart is not without a little fluctuation, but the truth does not allow her to stay for personal gain, because there is still something to do, there are still people to save, she is a doctor, she can't save herself, but she can save others.
Isn't Li Ronghua just her saving again and again, not giving up again and again, before she regains the idea of living, and will take the initiative to run into Changxin Garden to survive?
Staring at Yu Yan's back, Shen Tingnian felt a trace of sadness and regret, this person will not be used by anyone, she has the Tao in her heart to insist on.
It's just that I've been alone, it's too bleak and lonely.
###
His Royal Highness the Prince, who didn't know that he had become a 'father', was busy thinking about Shen Tingnian in the dead of night, and then fell asleep with indescribable thoughts.
"General Bai is not here? When did you leave Jianyan City? β
"Your Highness, he rode out of the city at dawn today, and he has not returned to ......"
Chen Luo did not accompany him on this trip, he was left in the palace with another task, but his apprentice Xiao Muzi was taken out by the prince and became an errand eunuch.
Kneeling on one knee to say to the commander of the escort army, the commander of Wu, seeing Pu Yangxu's extremely displeased, he immediately lowered his head, "Weichen will send someone to find ......"
"You go down first." Pu Yangxu waved him out, and then called the secret guard out to question, "General Bai has been stationed in Jianyancheng for more than ten years, and your supervision liao has never reported his abnormality. β
"Back to Your Highness, I just received the news of the guard here, General Bai, he-"
"Where?"
"A mountain outside Yancheng is under construction...... Lose someone. "Ah Zuo is the secret guard who has followed the prince for the longest time, and he is also the person who dared to jump out to stop Shen Tingnian when the prince was angry and wanted to strangle Shen Tingnian, at this moment he was ashamed, although he didn't lose it, but his subordinates were incompetent, and it was also a shame for him.
Pu Yangxu's expression was solemn when he heard this, and Xu Xian, who was waiting on the side, clearly saw him suddenly clenching his fists, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, and his heart suddenly jumped, if General Bai had different intentions, the entire Jianyan City would not be safe.
This stay in Yancheng is to collect power and rectify officials, build the wealth of Yancheng, which is second to none in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and although the salt road is controlled by the court, but every year the officials who sell illegal salt and make huge profits collude with local merchants and are found to have their heads removed, and they still can't stop the rampant illegal salt.
Just like the prosperity and cleanliness of Jianyan City, all the officials up and down Jianyan City, and the local wealthy businessmen all raised their hearts and tensed the strings, creating the illusion of each scene as if it were real, and Pu Yangxu couldn't look at anything unpleasant wherever he went.
The plan was to stay for five days, and this day was the last day.
The white clouds move the wind and the wind is beautiful, and the waves are nine Yingcang Mountain.
Outside Yancheng, a temple in the mountains and forests, a group of several people pretended to be pilgrims, Pu Yangxu pretended to be a rich young master, and Jiang Ke was two steps behind him and pretended to obey, and the guards only followed the two of them.
It's not a grand event, on the day of the sermon, the temple was crowded, and it didn't take long for Jiang Ke to follow Pu Yangxu and almost get separated, so he had to propose to go to the inner courtyard of the temple to find it first, to avoid the flow of people, so as not to have an accident.
"Your Highness, here...... The minister always felt a little weird. β
Jiang Ke is a weak scholar, and he has been very physically exhausted after following Pu Yangxu in the past few days, and he has only gone around a few times before he is out of breath.
Pu Yangxu's expression was as usual, his breath was stable, he held a fan in one hand and carried it behind his back in the other, graceful and suave, without losing the nobility of the son of the family, "If it wasn't weird, that person wouldn't have attracted me." β
First, General Bai left the city for no reason and disappeared on this mountain, and then news came that Lin Mo had been staying in this temple for the rest of his life.
This person's hidden whereabouts are really powerful, and he can make Pu Yangxu look for so long.
"The minister still thinks that he should ask Commander Wu to lead someone to fence off the temple and clear the field, and when the time comesββ"
"By then, people will be gone." Pu Yangxu fanned the wind and wrinkled his nose, "The smell of this incense is really all over the mountain." β
Not only is the mountains all over, but they are almost thick into winter fog.
Jiang Ke's eyelids jumped violently, he looked around, and there was nothing unusual, but in the empty courtyard in front of him, there was a faint sound of the piano.
Pu Yangxu raised his eyebrows, immediately stopped, he waved his fan, and the accompanying guards immediately came out to inquire about the situation.
After a while, the sound of the piano stopped, and the guards quickly turned back.
This is a small Zen temple on the west side of the temple, and it is also the place where the retreat retreat has been presided over in the past dynasties.
The sun is thick, the sandalwood inside and outside the temple is surging, and there is a light fragrance flowing in the quiet.
Pu Yangxu asked Jiang Ke to go to the next door of the Zen courtyard to find a place to rest, and then let the guards stay in the courtyard, and he entered the door alone.
It is the same as that of the guards, the interior is quiet and elegant, and the faces of the people who play the piano are covered with masks.
People don't know what they look like before they look in the mirror, and before they see Lin Mo's true face, Pu Yangxu doesn't know how much the other party looks like him.
