Chapter 8: Conspiracy
"Lord Wang, you know that the woman's origin is unknown, why do you still promise Lord Zhang to leave her in the mansion?" At this time, in Shen Junyu's bedroom, Bai Yiwen was arguing with reason, trying to persuade his prince not to take risks easily.
Regarding Bai Yiwen's dissatisfaction, Shen Junyu just smiled, still sitting at the table in the middle hall, holding Chu Jiangli's sign in his hand, looking over and over again.
This attitude of ignoring Bai Yiwen only made him feel bored in his heart for a while. Suddenly, he stepped forward and snatched the wooden card he had been playing with from Shen Junyu's hand and put it heavily on the table. Then he held Shen Junyu's body with both hands to face him, and shouted worriedly with a frown: "Junyu ......"
Looking at Bai Yiwen's worried look, Shen Junyu smiled indifferently, then patted his hand on his shoulder comfortingly, and comforted him softly: "Yiwen, believe me, the teacher must have his intentions." ”
Although he didn't understand what happened to Zhang Xu and why he was so interested in a woman of unknown origin, he believed that he must have discovered something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken advantage of the fact that he was going to help him, and secretly wrote the word "red and white" in the palm of his hand.
The so-called red and white means that one sings red face and the other sings white face.
So, when he reacted, in order to cooperate with Zhang Xu's acting, he suddenly said that he wanted to kill Chu Jiangli. And the rest of the thing, everything went according to their ideas, exactly according to their ideas.
It's just that this matter was discussed in private, and only he and Zhang Xu understood what was going on, Bai Yiwen didn't find this small detail, so naturally he didn't know.
If you don't know, you will inevitably be worried, and you can completely understand Bai Yiwen's mood at this time. Besides, the two of them have grown up together since they were children, Bai Yiwen has always taken care of him like a big brother, and the relationship between the two is called master and servant, but it is actually a brother. Such a good relationship, it is strange to say that you don't worry about him.
Looking at Shen Junyu's determined look, although Bai Yiwen still disagreed in his heart, he still quieted down for the time being, and did not shout about how inappropriate this matter was.
Since he has good intentions, even if he disagrees, he must first listen to the so-called intentions.
After waiting patiently for a while, the two waited for Zhang Xu, who had returned from sending Chu Jiangli. At this time, he seemed to have experienced something good, and his face was full of happiness and joy that he couldn't hide.
"Lord Wang," walked briskly to Shen Junyu's side, Zhang Xu bowed slightly to him, "The old minister has temporarily arranged Miss Chu in the guest courtyard, and when he waits for tomorrow, he will also ask Lord Wang to clean a new courtyard for Miss Chu." ”
"Master Zhang, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Seeing that Zhang Xu was still talking for Chu Jiangli as soon as he came back, Bai Yiwen endured it for a long time and still couldn't hold back, and asked directly what he said in his heart.
Although Shen Junyu was not as direct as Bai Yiwen, he also looked directly at Zhang Xu with puzzled eyes, and clearly expressed that he also wanted to know what was going on.
Zhang Xu looked up at Bai Yiwen, who was standing behind Shen Junyu, who was almost scratching his ears and cheeks, and turned his gaze to Shen Junyu's face, and the smile full of wisdom on the corner of his mouth slowly rose.
Looking at his teacher's expression, Shen Junyu was still a little uncertain, so he disappeared. Since his teacher would show such an expression, it means that he is very sure.
"Teacher, what did you find?" Thinking of this, Shen Junyu no longer sat down, but got up and walked to Zhang Xu's side and asked softly.
Zhang Xu looked at Shen Junyu steadily, the wise smile on his face was suddenly replaced by eccentricity, and then he said something that made Shen Junyu and Bai Yiwen want to vomit three liters of blood: "I didn't find anything. ”
"Huh?"
"What?"
Regarding Zhang Xu's answer, Shen Junyu and Bai Yiwen did not react. After rehashing his words in their minds a few times, the corners of their mouths twitched, feeling very unbelievable.
I didn't find anything, I didn't find any reason, but I was willing to vouch for her. Where does such self-confidence come from?
"It's not a teacher, you didn't find anything, why are you ......" After reacting, Shen Junyu immediately asked, wanting to know why Zhang Xu was willing to take this risk.
Zhang Xu naturally knew what Shen Junyu was worried about, so he didn't plan to continue teasing the two. He first put away his unserious expression, and reverted to the shrewd and capable Zuodu Yushi, and then leaned over slightly, picked up the wooden card that was thrown on the table by Bai Yiwen before, and handed it to the two of them.
"Lord Wang, you don't need to tell me about the material of this wooden card. Golden silk nanmu has always been used by the royal family, so why does Miss Chu have it, don't you think it's strange? ”
"It's because it's weird that I think there's something wrong with her. Thinking that she is a civilian woman, how could there be such a thing. So I wonder if she was instructed by some people to come to me to find out something. Shen Junyu frowned, trying to guess which of his brothers would be.
What happened was too much of a coincidence, as soon as he was summoned into the palace by his father, Chu Jiangli appeared in his mansion. And not long after she came, his third brother also came to beat him, plus she still had things on her that were only allowed to be used by the royal family, to say that these things have nothing to do with it, how can he believe it.
After listening to Shen Junyu's thoughts, Zhang Xu shook his head with a smile, and then began to twist his beard again: "Lord Wang, in my opinion, except for why Miss Chu has a piece of golden silk nanmu, other questions and conjectures are not valid. ”
"Why?" All of a sudden, all the ideas were denied, and Shen Junyu couldn't help but be a little unconvinced.
Zhang Xu smiled mysteriously, pointed to the front and back of the sign successively, and asked instead of answering: "Lord Wang, you can guess Miss Chu's name, why are you confused at this time?" ”
At first glance, when he heard Zhang Xu's question, Shen Junyu was indeed confused for a while. But after carefully recalling Zhang Xu's words, he instantly felt like an enlightenment, and his mouth suddenly opened. yes, why is he confused?
When he heard Chu Jiangli say that his name was Jiangli, he thought of the peony flower on the brand and the word "Chu" on the other side, and naturally understood that the sign was written with her name.
But it is precisely because of this that it can be proved that this brand is actually her belongings, which belongs to her completely, and is by no means given by other royal relatives. Besides, everyone knows that this kind of wood cannot be used by civilians, and no one is stupid enough to take something so recognizable as to swagger through the streets.
"By the way, I remember that she just seemed to say that this sign was given to her by her grandfather when she was one year old." Suddenly remembering what Chu Jiangli had said, Shen Junyu's doubts were one more: "But...... How could her grandfather have such a thing, and who could it be? ”
"Hehe, Lord Wang," seeing that Shen Junyu was entangled, Zhang Xu smiled calmly and said, "This is also the reason why I want to protect Miss Chu." As long as she is under our noses, one day we will know her secrets, so why rush. ”
Listening to Zhang Xu's confident words, Bai Yiwen endured it for a long time, and finally raised his own question: "Lord Zhang, what you think is too good." How can you guarantee that Na Chu Jiangli will tell these things in the end. ”
"That's it, my face." Bai Yiwen's blow had no effect at all. On the contrary, it also made Zhang Xu more confident.
"Face?" Bai Yiwen still couldn't understand, so he subconsciously asked. However, Shen Junyu seemed to have understood something, and nodded there frequently.
"Yes!" Zhang Xu gently swept his chin with his fingertips, and there was a flash of essence in his eyes: "Just with me, I have an almost identical face to Miss Chu's grandfather." When people arrive in a completely unfamiliar place, they will rely on what they are familiar with or have seen, not to mention the faces of their loved ones. ”
"That's why you, teacher, want me to act with you? You've been speaking for her, even in front of her, saying that you can take all the responsibility for her. This...... Is it to gain her favor so that she can let down some of her guard? Shen Junyu completely understood Zhang Xu's intentions, and only felt that his teacher was really wise, if he hadn't explained them one by one now, I was afraid that he wouldn't know how long he would have to wonder.
Zhang Xu looked at Shen Junyu lightly and smiled. It's just that there is a little mystery in his smile, but it doesn't make people feel abrupt.
It was only because of this reason that he would help Chu Jiangli speak. He has always had an inexplicable premonition, feeling that if he doesn't do this, it will affect everything in the future of his family's prince. It's just that it's not convenient to say this.
Seeing his teacher's smile like this, Shen Junyu thought that he had guessed correctly, so he also replied with an understanding smile, and they both tacitly agreed.
"By the way, Yiwen," Zhang Xu suddenly thought of something, so he explained to Bai Yiwen: "That Chu girl is a smart and wise person, you have to be careful in front of her, don't show your feet." ”
"I ......" Even though he was a little depressed about Zhang Xu's explanation, Bai Yiwen still responded and said: "I know, I will try my best to restrain myself." ”
"Restraint what?" Zhang Xu was surprised, and then understood again, and suddenly cried and laughed: "Who wants you to restrain yourself, you don't want to think about how you treated her today, if you suddenly change your attitude, won't it make her suspicious?" So, I'm asking you to be like today in the future, always looking for her fault! ”
“…… Oh, got it. Bai Yiwen, who was even more depressed, reluctantly responded.
