knew that it was a trap, but she had to go, knowing that the eldest prince had bad intentions, but she couldn't give up the slightest possibility.

Shen Yunqi can't die yet, especially at this time.

If he died, I don't know how those people would arrange the entire Shen family, and they would even implicate Rong Chen.

And this is something that Shen Nianzhen definitely doesn't want to see.

The deeper worry in her heart was that she was afraid that Old Lady Shen would not be able to bear it.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Shen Nianzhen gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay." Yu Gu nodded, looked like he had expected it, and turned to leave.

Shen Nianzhen held the picturesque arm and slowly got out of the carriage.

"Princess, where are you going? His Highness will be back soon. At this time, Dongchen stood up and said.

"I have something to do, you can come with me." Shen Nianzhen glanced at him and said.

"Huh?" didn't expect Shen Nianzhen to take him with him, Dongchen was a little surprised.

However, he straightened his chest and secretly made up his mind in his heart, no matter what today, he would protect the princess!

"Let's go." Shen Nianzhen had already raised his feet and chased in the direction where the fish intestines left in front of him, which was actually the teahouse across the street.

Dongchen didn't know why, and followed her inch by inch.

Among the teahouses.

The eldest prince sat in the wheelchair opposite, looked at the beauty who walked in with her head down, a smile appeared on her face, and she said with appreciation: "After Miss Shen got married, she became more and more radiant, so that people couldn't take their eyes off it." “

When Shen Nianzhen saw him, he remembered the cold-blooded animal that was brutally killed, and his whole body was full of awe.

In the face of this ridicule, she didn't respond, only stepped forward lightly to say goodbye, and then said, "Your Highness, you sent someone to call me here, what kind of bargaining chips do you have?" ”

"What chips are not chips, the second brother and sister are too outside." The eldest prince smiled faintly, a pair of eyes as warm as jade slowly fell on her, poured a cup of tea with a smile, and handed it to Shen Nianzhen and said, "This palace is just asking you to come over and gossip, sit." ”

Where does Shen Nianzhen dare to sit? Standing there with a stiff face: "If Your Highness has anything to say, just say it directly!" ”

The second prince's hand froze in mid-air.

He sighed slightly, put down the teacup and said, "Second brother and sister, this palace called you here today, it's really just talking, you don't have to be so afraid." As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a brocade box on the coffee table, handed it to her, and said, "By the way, when you got married, the palace was not in Beijing because of something, this is a congratulatory gift for you, please don't dislike it." ”

There is a bit of sincerity in what he said.

It's a pity that there is some fake meaning in Shen Nianzhen's ears.

Since there is a request for people, it is not a way to keep stiff like this, Shen Nianzhen gritted his teeth, and finally sat down, but he did not go to receive his gift: "No need Your Highness, your gift should be kept for yourself, Nian Zhensheng can't afford it." ”

The Great Prince: "......"

He glanced at Shen Nianzhen, and then helplessly reached out and opened the brocade box.

Inside, lies a whole set of dazzling jewelry.

"This palace can't be used." He smiled wryly and said: "Originally, I bought it specially to congratulate my second brother and sister on their wedding, if you don't want it, then you can only throw it away." ”

Of course, Shen Nianzhen can't ask him to throw things away, if that's the case, then her trip today will be in vain, and she won't get any news.

"Thank you, big brother." Shen Nianzhen stretched out his hand to take the brocade box, gritting his teeth and saying.

In my heart, I planned to go back and find a reason to give this jewelry to my descendants.

Unfortunately, no.

If such a precious thing is given to a subordinate, it will cause trouble.

It seems that he can only be locked in the warehouse.

"Wouldn't it have been done sooner?" The eldest prince smiled happily.

"Your Highness, what are you trying to do when you called me?"

Shen Nianzhen looked at him with a puzzled face and asked.

"Your second brother killed Lu Yiming, because someone was plotting." The eldest prince spoke amazingly.

"What? Plotted? Shen Nian stood up in shock, and she said!

Shen Yunqi is no longer the impulsive character of the past, to say that he can't be angry, it is still possible for Shen Nianci to rush over and beat Lu Yiming violently, killing him, this is too ridiculous.

But in fact, Lu Yiming is dead. Many people saw it, Shen Yunqi punched him, and he was already dead before he fell to the ground.

"Go back and check on the people around your second brother." The eldest prince said in a cold tone: "Shen Nianzhen, you pride yourself on being smart, and you have never looked at others in your eyes, but have you ever thought that the people around you will also be bought?" If you can't find evidence, then your second brother will definitely be planted this time, and no one can save him. “

"You called me just to tell me that there was a mole in our family?" Ponder the truth.

"It's just by the way, this palace called you here just to send you a wedding gift." The eldest prince looked at her and smiled slightly.

Shen Nianzhen was dazzled by this smile, and he couldn't wait to drop the brocade box in his hand!

But no.

"That's really thanks to the eldest prince." Shen Nianzhen gritted his teeth, tried to squeeze out a smile, blessed his body, turned around and left.

This time, the eldest prince did not stop her.

The smile on her face was still there until she was gone.

"Your Highness, will you just let her go?" The fish intestine asked unwillingly on the side.

The eldest prince turned his head to look at him, and snorted coldly: "What can I do if I don't let it go, the second person's people have already surrounded this entire teahouse." ”

When Yu Gu heard this, he thought of Rong Chen's madness, so he stopped talking.

But he still couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, the second prince's leg is really good, that Doctor Ge is really capable, or Your Highness will ...... you?"

Before he could finish his words, he felt a cold aura coming from beside him.

The eldest prince looked at him coldly and said, "Do you mean to ask this palace to go and pray to the second brother and Shen Nianzhen on their knees?" ”

"Of course not!" The fish intestine suddenly knelt down in a panic.

"Don't say such stupid things again." The eldest prince retracted his gaze, turned his head to look downstairs, and just saw Shen Nianzhen walking out of the door of the inn, Rong Chen stepped forward and held her hand.

The two of them left affectionately.

Rong Chen really trusts his woman! Knowing that Shen Nianzhen came to see him, he didn't mind?

The corners of the eldest prince's mouth showed a hint of mockery.

……

In the carriage, Shen Nianzhen looked down at the jewelry box in his hand, and was very worried about what to do with it.

"It's beautiful." Rong Chen stretched out his hand to take it, opened it to appreciate it carefully, and praised it in his mouth: "Big brother is willing to pay his blood this time." It's all good stuff for you. ”

"You're not angry?" Shen Nianzhen looked at him in surprise.

Just outside the teahouse, Rong Chen's affectionate demeanor may still be pretentious, but at this moment, there is no one else in this carriage, why should he say this?

"Hongu really thinks things are good."

Rong Chen looked at her and nodded seriously: "If you look at this, you will know where to choose when you want to give you a gift in the future." ”

That's a real talkative. Shen Nianzhen laughed when he heard this, the worry in his heart disappeared, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Don't, don't learn it, I have a shadow in my hand when I hold it, if I really wear it, I have nightmares every night, and after I take it back, I will directly invite a monk who has attained the Tao to enter the house and recite the mantra, and offer it up!" ”

"You're scared of big brother?" Rong Chen looked at her and said.

"That's nature." Shen Nianzhen nodded: "Aren't you afraid of this kind of smile, the person who stabs behind his back?" ”

Rong Chen nodded: "I'm afraid." ”

He looked at her and said with a serious expression: "But for you, this palace is not afraid of him, if he dares to harass you again in the future, this palace will definitely not make him feel better." ”

Shen Nianzhen looked at him, and immediately felt warm in his heart, and immediately leaned his head in his arms, and then said, "Your Highness, what is the situation in the yamen now?" ”

"It's a bit tricky."

Rong Chen sighed when he heard this, and then said: "Shen Yunqi did punch Lu Yiming in public, and then the person fell, and he died after another investigation, so many people testified, he couldn't turn the case over." ”

"But it's weird in itself." Shen Nianzhen frowned tightly and said: "If my second brother beats Lu Yiming violently and beats him to death too hard, this is still in the past, but if he only beats him, why did he die?" What if this Lu Yiming has his own illness? He was poisoned or something, so he died. Can you also rely on him? “

Rong Chen was stunned when he heard this, but there was indeed this possibility.

He turned his head, called Beiyang, and admonished him.

"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will do what you ask." Beiyang left immediately.

Shen Nianzhen knew that he was asking Beiyang to stare at the Yamen autopsy, so that he could not fake. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

"When can I meet my second brother?" Shen Nianzhen asked.

"You don't care about this matter, leave it to this palace." Rong Chen held her hand and said, "You stayed in the palace for a day today, aren't you tired?" ”

"I'm tired, but when I think of the day after tomorrow, my grandmother will definitely ask about my second cousin......" Shen Nianzhen sighed slightly, and said: "As soon as I get to this matter first, I have a terrible headache, where can I rest?" ”

This is also true, Shen Nianzhen has always been a worrying fate.

"Don't worry." Rong Chen comforted her and said, "Your second brother will go to the prison tonight to see him, and we will all know what the situation will be when the time comes." ”

"In this case, then I will be relieved." Shen Nianzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Completely relaxed, she lay in Rong Chen's arms, smelling the familiar fragrance on his body, and fell asleep after a while in the swaying of the carriage.

Rong Chen hugged her, looked down at her tired face, and felt a trace of regret in his heart.

If he had known that he would encounter so many things today, he should not have messed with her in the morning.

It's too late to say anything.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Second Prince's Mansion.

The moment the carriage stopped, Shen Nianzhen poked his head out of Rong Chen's arms: "Have you arrived?" ”

Rong Chen looked at her still tired eyes, and nodded distressedly: "Yes, this palace will carry you down." ”

"No, I'm not that delicate yet." Shen Nianzhen shook his head and supported himself to get out of the carriage, and Rong Chen followed behind, ready to support him anytime and anywhere.

However, along the way, Shen Nianzhen walked very steadily.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Shen Nianzhen was anxiously looking forward to Shen Yunlan's arrival at home, and today was the first day of the public trial of Shen Yunqi's case.

The outside of the mansion is already full of people, blocking the road, and I don't know who is secretly coaxing it, pushing this originally ordinary case to the cusp, all the people in Beijing are enthusiastically discussing this matter, Lu Yiming, the son of the former Zhenbei Hou Mansion, was killed by Shen Yunqi, the second concubine of the Shen family's branch, on the street, which is too interesting.

Some people say that it was because of the past grievances between the two families that Shen Yunqi killed people on the street.

Some people say that it was because Lu Yiming sold Shen Yunqi's sister Shen Nianci into a brothel, which caused Shen Yunqi to hate and kill.

People are more willing to believe the second.

Therefore, most people are sympathetic to Shen Yunqi's case.

Shen Nianzhen didn't care about this, she just wanted to know the latest progress of the case, and while waiting for her eldest brother to arrive, she ordered someone to bring Shen Nianci up.

Shen Nianci and Princess Zhaohua that day, after making a big fuss about Shen Nianzhen's wedding, they were detained by the people of the palace, and they didn't care about it for the past two days.

"Hurry up and get in! Rub what! The guards outside pushed Shen Nianci in.

She had already changed out of the dirty and torn clothes she wore during the wedding that day, and wore a pale pink shoulder that only the people in the house wore to her, and her sideburns were neatly combed, but there was no hairpin ring jewelry on it, and after being pushed in by the guards, when she saw Shen Nianzhen, her face was very calm.

"Second princess, you finally remembered me."

Shen Nianci looked at Shen Nianzhen, who was high up, sitting at the top, wearing silk and satin, dressed in a delicate and moving manner, there was no jealousy or resentment in his eyes, but only sarcasm: "Say, how do you want me to die?" ”

Shen Nianzhen looked at her quietly and said slowly: "Do you know that your brother Shen Yunqi killed Lu Yiming on the street in order to avenge you." ”

"No matter what method you use to kill me, I won't care......" Shen Nianci didn't finish speaking, he was suddenly stunned, looked at Shen Nianzhen in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Shen Nianzhen looked at her and repeated word by word: "I said, your brother Shen Yunqi avenged you and killed Lu Yiming on the street." ”

"Impossible! Husband will not die! Shen Nianci suddenly screamed.

She inhaled heavily, looking horrified and incredulous.

"It's true." Shen Nianzhen looked at her, a touch of sarcasm appeared on his lips, he was angry, and he felt sad for Shen Yunqi: "Your brother was caught in a murder case for you, and now his life and death are unknown, but you are only worried about the person who sold you into a brothel!" Shen Nianci, do you have a heart! What did you tell your brother when you were in the house before! ”

"Hahaha, are you crying a cat and fake mercy?" Shen Nianci laughed, and tears of laughter flowed down: "The people in our second room, don't you all want to get along quickly?" Who are you looking at with this fake face now! Whether my brother lives or dies has nothing to do with you! You are not qualified to question me! ”

"Really?" Shen Nianzhen looked at her expressionlessly, and then clapped his hands.

Soon, the two mothers-in-law guarding Shen Nianci walked in from outside, and then saluted Shen Nianzhen, and said like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "The second young master was called over by this woman, and he cried and said a lot of things, that is, complaining, saying how Lu Yiming treated her harshly, how Lu's mother tortured her, how she was mad, and sold her into a brothel indifferently and ruthlessly. ”

After listening to this, Shen Nianzhen looked at Shen Nianci: "What else do you have to say now?" ”

"Humph! This is nothing but slander! Shen Nianci refused to admit it until he died: "I didn't say this!" ”

"Shen Nianci! What are you packing here? Shen Nianzhen looked at her speechlessly and said, "Who will you show as if your husband is dead?" You obviously know that Shen Yunqi will go to Lu Yiming to settle accounts after listening to your words, with your brother's current temperament in the rivers and lakes, it is simply inevitable that he will kill Lu Yiming, you just want him to die! but shamelessly used his own brother, Shen Nianci, are you still human! “

"What's wrong with me using him!" Shen Nianci immediately shouted loudly: "When I was a child, I didn't know how many times I was used by him!" Besides, I just wanted him to teach Lu Yiming a lesson, and didn't ask him to kill! How can I be blamed for this! “

As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.

"You're wrong, you shouldn't have used your own brother." Shen Nianzhen looked at her coldly and said, "People like you don't have a heart at all. ”

"Do you have a heart? Why don't you go and save him? Shen Nianci asked with a sneer.

"Of course I'm going to save him." Shen Nianzhen looked at her quietly and said: "No matter what kind of crime they use to frame him, I will think of a way to avenge him, as for you, since you can't stay in a place like Shangjing, and you don't want to stay in a place other than Shangjing, then according to our previous agreement, you can choose the second way." ”

Shen Nianci trembled when she heard this, looked at her in disbelief and said, "You, do you want me to die?" ”

"It's the path you choose." Shen Nianzhen looked at her and said, "From the moment you stood in this mansion and slandered me for selling you into a brothel, you have no other way to go." Beiyang, take her down. ”

"Yes, Princess." Beiyang immediately walked in from outside.

"Shen Nianzhen! You can't kill me! Shen Nianci immediately jumped up and shouted loudly: "Without my testimony, you can't save my brother!" If you want to save him, you have to keep me! I can testify to him! ”

"What can you do?" Shen Nianzhen waved his arm at Beiyang, and then said slowly.
