Chapter 409: The End of the Road
Hearing Su Nianjun's opening, Shen Xianhe knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply opened his eyes generously and looked at his eyes that seemed to be smiling.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Su Nianjun touched Shen Xianhe's head lovingly, and sighed helplessly.
"Xianhe, I know that you feel sorry for me and want me to have a good rest, but, like you, I also feel sorry for you, seeing you do this, I not only don't have a good rest, but I am more worried about you, these days, we are acting for each other, I feel very ridiculous, thinking that each other is for each other's good, but I don't know, neither of us is good."
Looking at Su Nianjun's smiling face, Shen Xianhe paused for a moment, looking at him with a tired face and a scruffy beard, two big black shadows under his eyes, and the whole person looked a lot of vicissitudes.
Shen Xianhe raised his hand and touched his face.
"You've lost weight, you must be working hard these days, right?"
Su Nianjun grabbed Shen Xianhe's hand with his backhand and smiled slightly.
"Xianhe, I'm not hard, when all this is dealt with, you can move around freely, you don't have to be locked up in the mansion every day, these days, I have wronged you, I know that you are an active character, and it is really embarrassing for you to lock you in the mansion, but, soon, just wait, it will be over soon."
"I'm not hard, I'm not wronged, it's all as it should be, I believe in you, it will be over soon, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, today Li Yunyu sent her maidservant to send me a letter, saying that she already knew who killed Huo Biao, and told me, saying that I would help her parents send her away, away from the capital, and she would come to do our internal response, collect Chu Xi's intelligence and send it."
"Is this Li Yunyu the girl you said a few days ago who was brought into the palace by Chu Xi in the Huai'an Hou Mansion? Aren't you sighing, the girl who is obsessed with Huo Biao? ”
Shen Xianhe nodded.
"Uh-huh, that's her."
But could she believe it? Could it be that she was already Chu Xi's person, and then deliberately double-agent? ”
It's not that Su Nianjun suspects, it's just that in the current situation, there can't be a little mistake, as long as there is a little mistake, then all the previous efforts will be wasted, and everything will be in vain, so he has to be careful.
Shen Xianhe shook his head.
"No, that girl was saved by me from Gu Rongrong, I can see her character, she won't, besides, you know Chu Xi's nature, he is a thing that is inferior to a beast, and he is like that to his concubine, even the queen, which woman will treat him sincerely, so, I believe in Li Yunyu."
"Okay, you can believe it, now, the eyeliner we arranged in the palace has been cleared by Chu Xi a lot, and the rest can't get close to him, and Li Yunyu will report to us, which will be much better."
Seeing that Shen Xianhe swore to vouch for Li Yunyu, Su Nianjun put away his suspicions, he knew his Xianhe, and he would not be so sure about uncertain things.
"I did the same as you thought, so I promised her, sent her family and her maidservants out of the city, and arranged their back route, let them go directly south to the south, and go to my sister with my letter, and she will settle them."
"Well, you did a good job, it's just Xianhe, I know you are revengeful now, but don't worry too much, everything is with me, you can rest assured that you will leave it to me, don't bother so much."
Su Nianjun was really worried, especially since Shen Xianhe was not alone now.
Shen Xianhe rested his head on her arm and looked at the top of the bed.
"Well, I believe in you, but I don't want to make myself a waste person who can't do anything, even if it's a little favor, I have to help you, so that I can feel at ease, now Chu Xi only has the 150,000 army left, Huo Biao's 50,000 army, he thought it was still in his hands, but he didn't know that the tanuki had already changed the prince, by the way, how are you deploying now?"
Although she believed in Su Nianjun very much, she couldn't help but ask.
"Dongchang and his newly cultivated secret guards have been cleaned up, and now around him, there are only the 150,000 troops that can be used, and the rest, whether it is the courtiers or the people, or even the clan, except for the work of face, no one will stand on his side, and now, he has lost his heart, and the fall is only a temporary thing."
"You haven't told me about his current actions?"
Su Nianjun really didn't want to tell Shen Xianhe about these things, and didn't want her to worry about these things, but seeing that she was so worried, he didn't want to ruin her happiness.
"Chu Xi has now transferred 100,000 troops back to the capital, and the remaining 50,000 are arranged to guard the frontier, the purpose is to wipe us out, and, Xianhe, now I will continue to keep you in the capital because I want Chu Xi to relax his vigilance, as long as you and I are put under his nose, he will act with confidence, but in this way, your situation will be very dangerous, which is why I don't let you leave Qinyuan, because I have protected Qinyuan like an iron bucket with all the forces, but leave Qinyuan, I'm not that sure, so I've wronged you this time. ”
Shen Xianhe was his life, and putting her here was the most difficult decision he had ever made, but this was the best way, only in this way would Chu Xi believe it and be relieved to kill them all.
Shen Xianhe knew Su Nianjun's guilt and knew his difficulties.
She reached out and touched his cheek, and said seriously.
"Have you forgotten what you once said? You said that we are husband and wife, we are one, no matter what happens good or bad, we have to bear it together, I know that when you make this decision, you must be tormented in your heart, all your decisions, I believe in you, so, don't feel guilty, protect me, all this is not a problem. ”
Shen Xianhe's considerate words made Su Nianjun's eyes reddened slightly.
"Xianhe, don't worry, everything is with me."
But those thorns hidden in his heart couldn't speak, and the truth about the eldest princess's poisoning had been buried in his heart, making him tortured when he faced Shen Xianhe every day.
He didn't dare to open his mouth to confess all this, because he knew that the eldest princess was important to Shen Xianhe, and if he opened his mouth, their current intimacy would be gone, and everything would return to square one.
It was the last thing he dared to see.
At this time, in the palace, Chu Xi was hiding in the Qin Garden every day because Shen Xianhe was hiding in the Qin Garden, so he had no way to make a big deal about Shen Xianhe.
These days, he let Su Nianjun continue to incite the courtiers to centrifuge him, but behind his back, he has already begun to deploy, since Su Nianjun and Shen Xianhe are under his nose, they have no other support except for some secret guards to protect themselves.
And although he lost the power of Dongchang and cultivation, he still has a large army in his hands, which Su Nianjun cannot compare, because Su Nianjun is only a prince of Beiqiang, and the emperor of Beiqiang will not allow the army to save a prince and take risks.
Therefore, he sent a secret henchman to Beiqiang with his letter to find the current emperor of Beiqiang, Su Yuanheng, and reached a consensus with him, he only needs the lives of Su Nianjun and Shen Xianhe, as long as Su Yuanheng does not send troops, then he will promise to send the frontier to Beiqiang.
With such good conditions, how could Su Yuanheng disagree, he readily agreed at that time, he would not send troops to rescue Su Nianjun, but he would only do this, and he would not interfere with the rest.
In this way, the two secretly reached a cooperation.
"Waste, what a bunch of waste, what's the use of raising you? It's been so long, people don't leave the house, won't you kill them? ”
Faced with the killers he had recruited again on the rivers and lakes, he burst out in anger.
The reason why he really surrounded Qinyuan and stared at Shen Xianhe was because of what the Empress Dowager had left to Shen Xianhe, as long as he got that thing, let alone a Beiqiang, the whole world was his, so he chased and beat Shen Xianhe, the purpose was to get this thing from Shen Xianhe.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the subordinates are useless, you know, that Su Nianjun arranged all the masters to guard outside Qinyuan, and there were people rotating all day and night, and that Shen Xianhe didn't go out of Qinyuan, the subordinates really had no choice, they used all kinds of methods, and they still couldn't get close to Qinyuan for half a step!"
What this killer said is the truth, since the last assassination, Su Nianjun used all his forces to gather all the masters in the rivers and lakes to the capital, pretending to be guards in Qinyuan, and surrounded Qinyuan like an iron bucket, not even a bird could fly in.
Chu Xi angrily smashed everything out of his hand, full of anger.
These days, he endured and endured, and he didn't make a move, just because he didn't catch Shen Xianhe, so he wasted so much time watching Su Nianjun jump in front of his eyes.
"Rubbish! Eater! ”
Just when Chu Xi was furious, a eunuch came in tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, someone threw this thing outside the door, and the slave felt a little familiar, so he picked it up and found that there were words written on it."
Chu Xi looked at this reckless minion with a smile, listened to his lame lies, and sneered.
"Really? Someone threw it outside the door? It was also picked up by you, what a coincidence, this is the Imperial Palace, outside my imperial study, does anyone dare to do this? Say, who told you to do that? ”
In the last sentence, Chu Xi's face changed, and his voice raised a lot, so frightened that the eunuch knelt on the ground with a thud, trembling and giving all the explanations.
"Your Majesty forgive your sins! Your Majesty forgives your sins! Not a minion...... It's white lotus paste...... It's her...... She asked the minions to do it...... She had a kindness to the slave, so the slave had to agree to her to do ....... ”
Hearing this name, Chu Xi paused for a moment, as if he was wondering who this person was?
"So it was her? Isn't she dead? How is it still alive? ”
If he remembers it well, Bai Lianrong thought that she was secretly pregnant with a dragon son a long time ago, so she wanted her mother to sit in the position of the queen with her son, and then she was killed by him in a fit of anger and thrown out of the palace, what? And now it's popping up again?
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know, but she suddenly found the minion and asked the slave to tell Your Majesty according to what she explained, and Your Majesty will understand what she means."
"Bring it."
Although he was very unkind to the white lotus seed that suddenly appeared, his curiosity had been tempted by him, so he also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd.
Open the dragon-patterned belt, and eight words were written on it.
"What Your Majesty wants, the concubine has!"
