The Xuan Dynasty sent negotiators to the border to negotiate with Baisha, who had been in truce for many years, and although there were frictions from time to time, they were still harmonious.

If it weren't for the fact that it was their mortal enemy, the Shen family, maybe they could just send it back, but now they just want to ransom people with some money, and with the financial resources of the imperial court and the Shen family, it is not a problem at all.

Everything seems to be going in a smooth direction, but Shen Ruowen has been busy in the past few days, not only letting people renovate the General's Mansion again, but also deliberately moving out of the main courtyard where the Shen family lives.

"Brother likes pines and cypresses, you have to transplant them quickly, and the swing flower stands in the yard have been dismantled, and replaced with weapon racks, this set of furniture is too old, hurry up and replace it with a new set of ....."

The house was disturbed by her, but everyone could see that the eldest lady was very happy, she had been alone for so many years, and the second son was still alive, so she didn't have to work so hard in the future.

So everyone was infected by her, looking forward to the return of the second son, and the Shen family quickly had a real backbone.

But soon this expectation was ruthlessly shattered, and when the spies in the Shen family received the news, Shen Ruowen was still in the warehouse with great interest in selecting gifts.

"It's Laba today, if it goes well, my brother will be able to come back at the end of the year, what do you say I should prepare for him, I remember that the second brother used to like the Xuantie Sword very much, how about this?"

She happily pulled Qingzhu to see the same gifts, Qingzhu looked at her with a smile, such a young lady is like a normal boudoir lady, she should be so innocent and carefree.

"Miss! Oh no, Baixia turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and he was willing to let the second son come back only if he raised the price, His Majesty had already made the envoy refuse the peace talks! ”

The things in her hand slipped down, and Shen Ruowen listened to him in a daze as he finished the ins and outs of the matter, and the more she listened, the more her heart sank.

"That's the way it is, Baixia's envoy even said that if the Xuan Dynasty still wants to save the second prince, the real prince will exchange it in person."

"You mean to say that Baishya is going to exchange hostages, not ransom people?"

How could this be, Shen Ruowen only felt that a basin of cold water was poured on her head, and countless conspiracies were instantly conceived in her mind, this matter would never be so simple, something must have gone wrong.

"Call Yuhiko here, go quickly!"

Qingzhu watched Shen Ruowen roar in a frenzy from the side, and knew that this change was tantamount to a bolt from the blue to her.

"How can this Baishya be like this! How can anyone ask the prince to exchange hostages in the end, this is clearly a deliberate difficulty! ”

Closed his eyes and calmed himself down as soon as possible, now is not the time to be angry, why did Baixia suddenly put forward such a condition, or did they always have a condition that the Xuan Dynasty sent a prince as a hostage, so what was their purpose.....

Yu Yan was the general's mansion who followed the people into the mansion after he was tightly wrapped up and down, and Shen Ruowen complained as soon as he saw it: "Do you know that now on the cusp of the storm, you even dragged me here, if this is seen by the people of your Xuan Dynasty or seen by other Baixia envoys, how can I explain it clearly!" ”

"Less nonsense, what's going on with the ransom thing, why is it suddenly abnormal to exchange hostages, or to be the prince of the Xuan Dynasty, how is this possible?"

Yu Yan saw that she knew everything, and also looked left and right, and stepped forward and said sneakily: "How did I know that it would become like this, my father said that he just wanted to extort a sum of money from you and some land."

But somehow, as soon as the envoys of your Xuan Dynasty went to the peace talks, they angered the king, and now they are saying that they want to replace people with people, and they want the emperor's son, otherwise they will kill your brother to vent their anger, and you also know that the impression of your Shen family in our Baixia is like Baixia in your general's mansion to attract hatred......"

He was still talking non-stop, but Shen Ruowen had already thought of the key to the matter, and the fist on her side clenched tightly.

"It was the emperor, and the envoys sent to ransom people were appointed by him, and these people must have done something wrong."

If it was just a ransom, then even if the court didn't pay the Shen family, they would be desperate to save people, but now they want a hostage, or the prince, Emperor Xuan has every reason to refuse, and it is impossible for the Shen family to let the emperor's son be a hostage in order to save their young master, whether it is in the hearts of the people or the court, they are completely at a disadvantage.

"I was careless, I thought it would be fine for him to let go to the peace talks, but I didn't expect to wait for the Shen family here."

In the current situation, there is no need for Emperor Xuan to say anything, even the officials of the court will not be willing to let the prince take risks, this ransom will naturally not be over, maybe the annoyed and angry King Baixia will abuse his brother.....

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, Shen Ruowen staggered two steps and propped up the table, was there really no way?

"Don't be discouraged, although you can't save your brother right now, but it's always good to know that he is still alive in Baixia, you say, will there be a prince in your Xuan Dynasty who is willing to be a hostage in exchange for your brother to come back, your Shen family is not the founding hero, how can it fall to this point."

His words were extremely harsh in Shen Ruo's ears, in order to ensure the stability of the Xuan Dynasty, his father's eldest brother died in battle, so that the Shen family fell into the current situation, and now these people are still unscrupulous in order to carve up the Shen family.

She hates it! For the first time in so many years, I have such a deep hatred for the people of the Fu family!

"Father, if you have the spirit of heaven, will you regret it now! Regret protecting such a lord and being loyal to such a king! ”

"Miss be cautious!"

The housekeeper was scared half to death, how to say such a rebellious thing, the young lady is really mad.

The next Shen Ruowen made them think that she was crazy, she even ran out regardless of the wind and snow outside.

"Miss, what are you doing, the snow is falling so hard, let's go back quickly!"

She couldn't listen to persuasion now, and walked towards the palace with one foot deep and one foot shallow: "I want to enter the palace, I want to go to the court, I can't care so much!" My brother is my only relative in this world, and every day I drag it out now, he has to endure a day of torture! ”

As soon as the meeting of the hundred officials ended, the ministers shook their heads and sighed and came out of the main hall, but before they could get into the carriage, a snowman-like woman rushed straight into the crowd and stopped them when they saw them.

"My lord, I beg you to intercede for Your Majesty and save my brother!"

"Don't have too much, just go around and give money, no matter how much money you have!"

"Please help me, the Shen family will definitely repay you!"

Only then did everyone see that it was Shen Ruoming, the high-flying and domineering eldest lady on weekdays was desperately pulling the ministers one by one at this time, begging them to save Shen Ruoming.

"Oh, niece, it's not that we don't help, it's really important, no matter how precious your brother's life is, it is impossible for the prince to exchange hostages, this is not a vain consideration of the monarch and ministers."

"Your Shen family and Baixia have a deep grudge, this time your brother is definitely not so easy to rescue, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious, and mourn."

"Yes, yes, we have done our best to help you, don't you have to entangle ....."
