But at this moment, there was a noise outside.

Shen Nianzhen hurriedly asked what was going on, Mama Zhou walked in from outside, and replied with a smile: "Miss, it's okay, it's just that a few ladies outside have come to visit them, and they have been sent away, so it's okay." ”

"How many ladies? Which ones? Shen Nianzhen narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

When she returned today, all the in-laws of the Shen family came, except for the second-room family who had been demoted out of Beijing and had not been able to come back for more than ten years, it was impossible for there to be any more acquaintances, unless the people who came were not relatives and friends at all, but came to stir up trouble.

"Oh, there's a lady of the Chamberlain's Mansion and a general's wife." Mama Zhou didn't expect Shen Nianzhen to get to the bottom of it, so she was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then she was as good as a stream.

"Really?" Shen Nianzhen was not very familiar with these two ladies, and he couldn't figure out the key to this for a while, so he was silent at the moment.

The noise outside quickly disappeared, Shen Nianzhen returned to Mrs. Shen's side and sat down, and laughter and laughter soon resumed in the flower hall.

Old Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen who were sitting beside her, and her expression was full of pride.

Her granddaughter, who has been raised since she was a child, now has a bright future, a beautiful marriage, and a lot of happy life waiting for her, is there anything better in this world?

The only regret is that this granddaughter married too early, and she could have been under her knees for two more years, but for the sake of happiness, even if she sacrificed this time, it was nothing.

This little episode passed quickly, and no one cared.

Shen Nianzhen stayed in the Shen family until it was almost dark, and then he and Rong Chen reluctantly went out and got into the carriage to go back to the Second Prince's Mansion, and the old lady Shen insisted on sending them out of the Shen family in person, Shen Nianzhen couldn't help it, so he could only agree.

"Grandmother, it's cold now, you can rest at home more, don't worry about so many things, with my father and eldest brother, and Aunt Fangru, you don't have to care about anything." Shen Nianzhen held the old lady's arm and persuaded him.

Old Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded her head when she heard the words: "Okay, good." “

She really hoped that her granddaughter and son-in-law could stay for a while, but she would not force them to stay, and no matter how reluctant she was, she still sent them to the gate.

When the group arrived at the gate, they said goodbye.

"Grandmother, go back, I'll leave ......" Shen Nianzhen said reluctantly, his eyes were a little red.

Old Madam Shen nodded, and was about to answer, when suddenly a few tattered beggars appeared on the street next to her, and laughed: "If you hurt Shen Yunqi alone in the second room, he will die in the prison!" You are still here, mother and son, filial piety! It's ridiculous! Ridiculous! ”

Shen Nianzhen's face immediately changed.

My heart thumped.

Subconsciously went to see Mrs. Shen's reaction, and sure enough, I saw that the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"Shut up! Where did you come from, Hanako! What nonsense here! Shen Nianzhen turned his head and coldly rebuked the beggars: "Whose money did you take, say!" “

Rong Chen coldly ordered: "Come here, bring a few of them over." ”

As soon as the words fell, the beggars turned their heads and ran towards the long street empty in the vast night, and after a while, they ran away without a shadow.

However, this was not difficult for Rong Chen's secret guards led by Beiyang, and they immediately rushed out to chase people at a faster speed.

Old Mrs. Shen sighed softly at this time and said, "Don't chase it, it's just a few words of gossip, my wife can stand it, you don't have to worry." “

"Grandmother, how are you?" Shen Nianzhen looked at her worriedly and asked.

Old Lady Shen's face was slightly pale, but she seemed extremely calm, much better than when she heard that something had happened to the Shen family and fainted, she shook her head lightly when she heard this, and said, "I'm fine, I can hold on, your second brother is ...... What the hell is going on? ”

When she asked this, Old Lady Shen's eyes were full of hope.

She didn't want Shen Nianzhen to hide it from her in this matter anymore.

Today, because there are many things in the DPRK and China, Shen Zhong has not yet come back at this point, which is already very revealing.

"Grandmother ......" Shen Nianzhen did not hide it, and told the facts: "Second cousin, in order to avenge his fourth sister, went to Lu Yiming to settle accounts, slapped him on the street, and he didn't expect that the person would die, and now the second cousin is being detained in the government and is trying the case, His Royal Highness and I both feel that Lu Yiming's death is strange, and it was not the second cousin who killed him, I believe that the case will soon come to light, don't be nervous and worried." ”

"It's actually for Nianci, that cheap girl!" Old Lady Shen gasped when she heard this.

Then he slammed the crutch in his hand and said hatefully: "I said a long time ago that this is a scourge!" You don't listen! Now it's okay, a girl film, actually hitched in with a son! My poor Yunqi......"

Everyone stood by with their heads bowed, listening to the old lady scolding angrily.

Ding was holding his youngest daughter in his arms, followed by his eldest daughter Shen Nianzhu, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.

Although Mrs. Shen's words did not mean anything, she had always been rejected by Mrs. Shen because she couldn't give birth to a son, and she tried her best to give birth to another girl regardless of her age.

"Third aunt, don't think about it." Shen Nianzhen gently squeezed Ding's hand on the side to show comfort.

Now on this occasion, it is not good for her to say any other words of comfort in a big way.

"I'm fine." Ding smiled back at her.

But no one knows what she thinks in her heart.

"Nian Zhen, and the prince, this time the matter of Yunqi will be entrusted to the two of you." Old Mrs. Shen held Shen Nianzhen's hand with a solemn face and explained: "Your second uncle is a fool, he has taken a fork in the road, he is obsessed, he can't afford to pay for you before, and my wife doesn't ask you to forgive them, just ask you to help Yunqi in the face of your grandmother!" He can't die......"

Old Mrs. Shen was almost in tears.

I don't know if it's distressing Shen Yunqi, or it's distressing that the second-room talent she once liked very much is withering, and now she almost can't even keep the only seedling, maybe both.

"Grandmother, don't worry, even if you don't explain this, I will do my best to help clarify the case and return the second brother's innocence."

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he hurriedly replied: "You must take care of your health, otherwise, your granddaughter will have to run for the affairs of her second cousin again, and she will have to worry about your grandmother again......"

"Okay, grandmother is not worried, grandmother eats and drinks well, and is waiting for your good news at home!"

Old Lady Shen reassured again and again when she heard this.

Shen Nianzhen was relieved at this time, and promised that he would definitely let Shen Yunqi live.

"Yes, it's good to be alive, even if it's going to sea, or going to Beijing to break through, it's all good......" In the past, Mrs. Shen always hoped that Shen Yunqi could stay in Shangjing, and this time Shen Yunqi was able to stay after he came back, and her persuasion played most of the role, but now, Mrs. Shen has changed her mind.

In other words, she finally understood the seriousness of the matter, and no longer insisted on it, and only hoped that people could live.

……

The next day, Shen Yunlan brought back good news; A preliminary autopsy was conducted and it was found that the cause of Lu Yiming's death was not because he was beaten, but because he had been poisoned in advance, so it was so coincidental that he was punched on the street and died.

This coincides with Shen Nianzhen's previous speculation.

"It's just that, who would have thought that Shen Yunqi would go to Lu Yiming to settle accounts and drug him!" Shen Yunlan frowned tightly when he heard this, looking like he couldn't understand.

"I'm afraid, I'm going to ask Shen Nianzhu." Shen Nianzhen sneered when he heard this, and said slowly: "Maybe this matter is a poisonous plan set up by her and the people who conspired behind it, just to target the Shen family!" It's not hard to guess that person, she's already come out to pay me before......"

When Shen Yunlan heard this, he didn't know what to think, and his face suddenly darkened.

Shen Nianzhen looked at him and sighed: "Big brother, have you already guessed it?" ”

"Yes, the mastermind behind this matter is likely to be Princess Zhaohua." Shen Yunlan nodded, and said with a face as heavy as water: "This woman is crazy now!" couldn't find a breakthrough from the Shen family, so he aimed at the fourth sister and the second brother! This is not to let us be at peace! ”

"Brother, it is said that the marriage date of the princess and her concubine, Jiang Ling, the only son of the hussar commander, is also coming soon." Shen Nianzhen looked at him and said thoughtfully, "Is this her last blow before accepting her fate?" ”

"Who knows!" Shen Yunlan said in disgust when he heard this: "This woman is already crazy!" ”

And normal people, when faced with crazy people, are really helpless.

"Anyway, now I've experienced poisoning." Rong Chen said slowly: "This matter will take a turn for the better, as long as it is proved that Lu Yiming died of poisoning, not a slap, then Shen Yunqi will be taken out of this case." ”

"Your Highness! You're going to do me a favor! Shen Nianzhen hurriedly said: "According to the scripts I have read, as well as various experiences, I think that at this time, the people behind will not watch it, maybe they will buy people to drug in prison, poison the second brother, and then die without proof, and commit suicide in fear of crime!" The second brother must not die at this time! ”

If Shen Yunqi died at this moment, then the blow to the Shen family would be quite huge.

"It's a good idea, it's possible." Rong Chen was surprised that Shen Nian was really free to read the book, and when he heard the words, he glanced at her with a smile, and when he called Beiyang over, he gave him an order.

Shen Yunlan saw Rong Chen's obedience to his sister-in-law's words, his depressed mood improved slightly, and he stood up and said, "I have already said what I should say, you guys rest, I should go back." ”

Big brother, can you think of a way. Shen Nianzhen suddenly stood up and said, "I want to go into the prison to see the second brother." “

"It's a little difficult." Shen Yunlan thought about it when he heard this, nodded and said, "But it's not without a chance, you wait at home, I will send someone to pick you up when I have the chance." “

"Thank you, big brother! I know that the big brother is the best! Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this.

Rong Chen picked his eyes on the side, only the eldest brother is the best?

"Sister, rest, big brother is gone." Seeing Rong Chen's expression in his eyes, Shen Yunlan smiled and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Rong Chen looked at Shen Nianzhen with a smile: "Only your eldest brother is the best?" ”

"No! Your Highness is the best person for me! Shen Nianzhen immediately hugged his arm with a smile and said with a smile: "Big brother is a relative!" ”

"Isn't Hongu the Hongu?" Rong Chen snorted coldly.

"Of course Your Highness! His Highness is now my dearest and dearest husband. Shen Nianzhen looked at him and said with a red face: "Don't force me to say those meaty words anymore, okay?" ”

"But Hongu just wants to hear it." Rong Chen was jealous and hugged her waist very domineeringly.

"Okay, okay." Shen Nianzhen said helplessly: "Your Highness is the most important and important person in my life, and the best person for me, right?" ”

"You're perfunctory to this palace." Rong Chen stretched out his hand and lightly touched Shen Nianzhen's forehead, and then said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, this palace knows that it can't be compared to your relatives and elders now, but sooner or later, you will care more about this palace than them, and this palace is waiting for that day." ”

Then he lowered his head and lightly dropped a kiss on Shen Nianzhen's cheek.

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, followed by the scene of Dongchen fleeing in a panic: "Your Highness! The subordinates didn't mean it! Subordinates will leave! ”

"That's enough, come here." Rong Chen slowly stood up, and asked with anger in his eyes, "What's the matter?" “

"Back to Your Highness, it's like this." Dongchen coughed lightly, shrunk his neck and replied: "Just now there was news from the palace, tomorrow's wedding in the East Palace has been canceled, and the marriage contract between the prince and the young lady of the Qi State Mansion has been canceled. ”

"Cancelled? How can it be? Shen Nianzhen was very surprised when he heard this.

The marriage between the crown prince Rongbing and the young lady Qi Siyu of the Duke of Qi was a marriage given by the emperor's holy decree, how could he suddenly regret the marriage?

"It is said that the crown prince has been opposing, and I don't know what methods and reasons he used to persuade His Majesty, and finally the marriage contract was canceled, in addition, he has asked the emperor to set up the side concubine Su Muwan as the crown princess, and His Majesty seems to have agreed."

"So easy to say yes?"

Shen Nianzhen listened to these words, and only felt extremely ridiculous.

The words spoken by the emperor himself, Chrysostom and Yuyan! Do you still have remorse? And Su Muwan did such a disgusting thing, how long has it been since she was exempted from punishment and became the crown princess again?

Aside from anything else, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really loves Su Muwan!

Shen Nianzhen was full of emotion, and glanced at Rong Chen, she seemed to understand a little why Su Muwan abandoned him and chose the crown prince.

With the prince's brainless maintenance, Su Muwan's marriage is worth it!

"Nian Zhen, this is also something that can't be done." Rong Chen smiled bitterly, looked at her and said guiltily: "I have wronged you." ”

"What am I wronged about? You are the one who has been wronged! Shen Nianzhen blinked his eyes when he heard this: "Su Muwan has been wronging you all along, and she almost kicked you out of Beijing, I didn't expect such a big thing, your father and emperor actually forgave it easily, and the person who should feel aggrieved at this moment is you." ”

"My father has this choice, I have expected it a long time ago." When Rong Chen heard this, he smiled sarcastically and said: "His favorite is the third brother, maybe only if he rebels, he may punish him, right?" During this time, Su Taishi's Mansion has also been operating in secret, and he wants to push Su Muwan back into the position of the crown princess, coupled with the prince's insistence, it is only a matter of time before his father agrees. ”

Shen Nianzhen felt a little cold when she heard this, and she was also a little powerless, the fact that the prince and the queen were favored could not be changed, what she could do now was to be cautious, protect her life with Rong Chen, and live her own small life.

However, Su Muwan has returned to the position of the crown princess, will she let herself and Rong Chen go?

As if knowing Shen Nian's sincere concerns, Rong Chen reached out and stroked her, reassuring: "Don't worry, this palace won't let Su Muwan hurt you again." “

"My fear is that she hurts you." Shen Nianzhen looked at him and said softly, "Obviously, she hates you in her heart." ”

"Love or hate, it has nothing to do with this palace."

Rong Chen said coldly when he heard this.

……

In the prison.

The prisoners here are all death row prisoners, and there are some old prisoners who are sick and crooked, and the new prisoners are all imprisoned in the cells on the upper floor for the convenience of arraignment, and after Shen Yunqi was escorted in, he was imprisoned in the second layer of prison for some reason.

In the cell on his left, there is an old man who is dying, and on the other side is a seriously ill gentleman, coincidentally, this gentleman used to know Shen Yunqi, and he was a fox friend who smelled like him, because he was jealous and killed someone in a brothel, so he was imprisoned, and he was going to be beheaded after the autumn.

When this person was about to despair, he was almost stunned when he suddenly saw the official escorting Shen Yunqi in.

Although Shen Yunqi's face had turned from pale to bronze, he still recognized him at a glance, and after the officials left, he immediately threw himself on the iron gate and shouted at Shen Yunqi: "Shen Yunqi! Shen Er Gongzi! It's me! Qin Zhan! Do you remember that I don't? ”

Shen Yunqi's simple subordinate clothes had already been changed, and he was wearing a prison uniform at this moment, and when he heard the shouting, he raised his eyes and glanced at the other party in a daze, and asked indifferently: "Who are you?" ”

"I ...... I'm Qin Zhan! That ...... in Yongningbo's Mansion," Qin Zhan said speechlessly.

"Oh...... It's you, why did you get in? By the way, you still owe me two thousand taels of silver, don't you? Shen Yunqi looked at the other party and said, "I said that I couldn't find you anywhere, so you were hiding here." ”

Qin Zhan: "......"

Did he hide in this death row for two thousand taels of silver?

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, let me ask you, how did you get in." Qin Zhan asked with great interest, "Do you still have a chance to go out?" Can you help me, brother? ”
