Chapter 119: The Second Letter
Sit by the window and write a letter. Outside the window, it was still snowing heavily, but the pen that Jin Shu picked up slowly put it down again.
How should she write it? What do you want to say? Sometimes, the more shocking you know, the paler the words will be.
She can watch Gao Chengyan from the perspective of a bystander as he snatches the Gao family, because to put it bluntly, this game of thrones is just to change the left pocket of the throne for the right pocket, and in the end it is all surnamed Gao, and she doesn't care or care. But what position does she want to persuade, even for the purpose of "asking for help", to ask Shen Zhiyan to come out of the mountain and invite herself to pacify the Northern Night Kingdom?
Gao Chengyan handed over the second letter to Jinshu to write, just to ask her to "ask for help" from the Shen family, so as to coerce Shen Zhiyan to join forces with him. Jin Shu understands psychologically, but he can't write a word. The other party is Shen Zhiyan, the person she admires the most and dares not "tarnish" the most.
But Gao Chengyan, a rebel, said that he would not give any news to the Shen family until Jinshu wrote a letter that satisfied him, so there was no way to tell Concubine Jing and the Shen family the news of her survival.
Thinking of this, Jin Shu began to have a headache. On the one hand, she wanted her family to learn the news that she was not dead as soon as possible, but on the other hand, she didn't want to coerce Shen Zhiyan and Gao Chengyan to join forces, she knew Brother Shen's character, he was such a proud and noble person, how could Jinshu kidnap him with his brotherhood with Shen Zhizhang?
Jinshu also wants to be the kind of fierce woman who would rather die in film and television dramas, she also wants to throw the pen and point at Gao Chengyan and scold, "Lao Tzu doesn't write!" But she is not alone without worries, there are Concubine Jing and Shen Zhizhang in the capital, and there is an unborn child in her belly. The two minds struggled for a morning, and finally Jin Shu gave in and wrote down the letter with a brush.
The letter was taken to Gao Chengyan for a look, and was beaten back for recorrection. found fault again and again, suspected that her meaning was not clear enough, and after changing it back and forth three times, Jinshu exploded, thinking that if he dared to pick again, he would fall on his face. As a result, Gao Chengyan only frowned, and after saying "the words are ugly and the writing is poor", he handed the letter to the little maid to deliver.

Since the sixth princess was "buried", Concubine Jing's mental state has become very poor, either sitting in silence for a day, or talking to the palace maid about the sixth princess when she was a child, delirious and even saying some nonsense about "the princess is not dead". The emperor and the empress dowager came to see her several times, and also ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her, but it had no effect.
Later, the disheartened Concubine Jing invited herself out of the palace to go to Guanyun Temple to pray for the Buddha, and the emperor was worried about the prince's affairs, so he had no time to take care of Concubine Jing, so he went with her.
After learning that Concubine Jing went to Guanyun Temple, Mrs. Shen also ordered someone to pack up her things and prepare to go with her, and when she parted, she said to Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhang: "Mother is old and confused, so she can't help much...... I can only pray for you. β
"Mother, don't talk like that, it's all unfilial piety of children, let the mother work." Shen Zhiyan pulled Shen Zhizhang to his knees and hurriedly said, "You are not in good health, you should stay at home, and your sons can serve you." β
"Yes, Mother." Shen Zhizhang also hurriedly echoed: "Guanyun Temple is so far away, besides, we also have Bodhisattva ...... at home."
"Concubine Jing is also in Guanyun Temple." Old Madam Shen smiled lovingly and explained the reason: "We have a good relationship with each other, and I can tell her a thing or two about right and wrong." We know in our hearts that the mother is still in the dark, and I will go to give her relief. When the princess returns, we will be reunited as a family. β
"I see." Shen Zhizhang nodded and persuaded: "Then you don't have to go to your mother, I'll go to Guanyun Temple and talk to Concubine Jing, you can rest at home!" β
Seeing that the originally stubborn and ignorant little son was now so steady and considerate, Old Madam Shen was pleased: "Good boy, how can you be relieved in a few words." You and your eldest brother still have important things to do, and it's good for your mother to come to these little things. She paused and said, "Don't take what your mother said that day, don't take it to heart." No matter how big the world is, there are only a few loved ones. How can we save the princess, we still have to save it. β
"Mother...... I ......" Hearing Mrs. Shen say this, Shen Zhizhang felt guilty and blamed himself: "I just ...... I don't want her to feel like we've given up on her. "It's enough for him to taste the taste of abandonment.
"Mother knows." Old Madam Shen nodded, bent down to help Shen Zhiyan and said, "Zhiyan, you are the eldest brother." Whatever you do, don't be impulsive and think twice. Saying that, she motioned for Shen Zhizhang to stand up as well, and said to her two sons in a soft and infinitely sad tone: "That day was the mother who was naΓ―ve, time has passed, we are not the original Shen family, and many things have changed. Now, it's good that our family can be together in peace. β
Shen Zhiyan nodded and hurriedly responded.
After Mrs. Shen got into the carriage, Mother Fang saluted Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhang, and then motioned for the carriage to leave. The carriage went out a few steps, and Mrs. Shen lifted the curtain and looked back, and the two sons stood tall in her eyes, and Zhou Zheng was watching her leave.
God still favors the Shen family, and now these two sons are more and more like their fathers. Thinking of this, Old Madam Shen couldn't help but smile slightly: "Go back!" Let's go back! β
At this time, Old Madam Shen would not know that the simple wish in her heart was no longer difficult to fulfill.
The carriage staggered away, turned a corner and disappeared from everyone's eyes, when Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhang were looking at each other without saying a word, a little girl beside the Wang family hurriedly ran over and said, "Grandpa, madam!" Letter! β
The two brothers glanced at each other and said in their hearts: What should come will always come.
The letter was received by the woman who bought it in the kitchen, and according to her, it was an eleven or twelve-year-old child who came up and stuffed the letter to her, saying that it was for Grandpa Shen. Shen Guogong's subordinates have all been lectured by the Wang family and know the importance of the recent "letter" to Shen Guogong's mansion. So when the woman received the letter, she didn't even bother to buy food, and immediately ran back to deliver the letter.
The second letter is written in Nishiki. As soon as he opened the envelope, Shen Zhizhang recognized her crooked ugly characters.
This letter is written simply and straightforwardly, without long paragraphs, and it is "one, two, three, four" short and clear.
First, she is not dead and is living well now, and she is three months pregnant. 2. His captors were not allowed to disclose information, and the prisoners were temporarily given preferential treatment. 3. The carriage overturned and faked, and the prince was innocent, a victim of political struggle. Fourth, the other party's request is to join forces with the Shen family, and Shen Zhiyan needs to invite himself to go to the Northern Night Country, otherwise he will abuse the prisoners.
Such a non-routine card, is undoubtedly written by Jinshu himself. Shen Zhizhang had no doubts at all. However, Shen Zhiyan asked with some confusion: "Is this the sixth princess's own handwriting?" Her Word ...... Is that the case? The style of writing is also a bit strange, isn't it? β
Shen Zhizhang was slightly embarrassed, he cleared his throat and said, "She has always been like this, and she hasn't written as well as me." β
"Hmm." Shen Zhiyan nodded, thought for a moment and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that, letting the crown prince fall is the first step, and letting me invite myself to go to the Northern Night Country is the second step." And then what? I never thought that I still have the ability to be remembered now...... Join forces with the Shen family and let me go to the Northern Night Country, I really dare to think of it! β
"The person behind it should be to seize the throne." Shen Zhizhang speculated: "He wants to join forces with our family, and he should take a fancy to your eldest brother's prestige in the army." β
"That's all?" Shen Zhiyan sneered and said, "That was also many years ago. Now I have been lying in bed for many years, and I still look like a general. It is no longer possible to go to the battlefield in the Northern Night Country. Besides, I did what he said, and then what? What's next? In this way, aren't we led by the nose by him? β
"But ......" Hearing his words, Shen Zhizhang hesitated a little: "But what about Jinshu?" Moreover...... Besides, she's pregnant. β
"Do you believe everything they say?" Shen Zhiyan raised his hand and slapped the letter on the table and questioned: "How can there be such a thing in the world?" The usurper treats the princess of the present day? As a princess of a country, the sixth princess not only did not hate such a person, but obeyed his arrangement and wrote to her family? Hmph, they want to take advantage of me, that's impossible! β
