Shen Xiu lay down until night, although she didn't fall asleep, her mood calmed down a lot.

"Concubine Fang, it's time for dinner." Yin'er whispered beside the bed.

She didn't know if Shen Xiu was awake or asleep, but now that she was lying down, it was really time to get up and eat.

"Hmm." Shen Xiu responded softly, "Help me up." ”

The little girl raised the curtain, and Yin'er helped Shen Xiu to get up and freshen up.

"I didn't expect it to be dark." Shen Xiu said to himself a little.

I've been thinking about it for so long, and time flies so fast.

Yin'er smiled and said, "I didn't dare to disturb the side concubine's rest." ”

Sure enough, after sleeping, Shen Xiu's face looked much better. At least not in the afternoon, when he was pale and bloodless.

"Is Mr. Wang back?" Shen Xiu asked.

Yin'er said: "I've been back a long time ago." ”

"Call him in." Shen Xiu said.

Although Yin'er was worried, she didn't dare to stop it.

After waiting for a while, Mr. Wang came in and saluted, "Meet the side concubine." ”

"How's it going?" Shen Xiu asked.

Mr. Wang: "The servant personally sent the letter to the ship's steward, and the steward said that the ship would return to Kaiyang tomorrow." Ten days at most, the letter will be delivered. ”

This is also a coincidence, there is a big ship going to Kaiyang. The letter was brought on board the boat, and it was a big boat on the waterway, so it would be much faster.

"Hmm." Shen Xiu nodded when he heard this, feeling a little relieved.

Ten days after receiving the letter, and at most twenty days later, there will be news from the brother.

Mr. Wang: "Don't worry, the concubine, the letter will be delivered safely." ”

"yes." Yin'er followed, "Dinner is ready, the side concubine should eat first." ”

"Well, let's eat." Shen Xiu said.

Yin'er took the girl to set the table, and Manager Wang was worried, and couldn't help whispering to Shen Xiu: "Mrs. Xu is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart concubine." The prince ...... in front of him, "Don't advance."

The latter words, Mr. Wang did not dare to say.

Now that the dispute between the palace and the palace is heating up, Cheng Shaomu's life and death are very crucial.

Although Shen Xiu is favored, he understands a man's thoughts. If Shen Xiu interceded for Cheng Shaomu at this time, he was afraid that he would anger Han Xiao.

Gentle and virtuous, sensible and considerate, this is the key to Shen Xiu's favor.

"Ha~" Shen Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "I understand, Mr. Wang is too worried." ”

Manager Wang hurriedly said: "The slave is talking nonsense......"

Shen Xiu waved his hand and said, "Manager Wang has good intentions, I understand." ”

Her reaction was so intense that Mr. Wang feared that she would lose her mind. It's really for her good to remind her like this.

But no matter how violently she reacts, she won't be so ignorant.

"Dinner is ready." Yin'er came over and said.

Although Shen Xiu had a poor appetite, he also tried to eat a lot.

As soon as I put down the dishes and chopsticks, I heard the little girl at the door say, "The prince is here......"

"Hurry up and re-prepare." Shen Xiu immediately commanded.

Han Xiao has been very busy recently, and the time to come back is uncertain, and he will not come back for a long time.

But it happened to be the meal back, so it must have been uneaten.

"No, I'll just make it and eat some." Han Xiao said as he entered the door, with a tired look on his face.

Shen Xiu said: "Then what's the matter, let's let the kitchen be reprepared." ”

"The old slave will go and command at once." Mr. Wang said.

Yin'er was also very clever, and quickly cleaned up the flower hall.

Shen Xiu commanded the little girl, waited for Han Xiao to change clothes and wash his hands, and personally served tea, and said with a smile: "Let's have a cup of tea first, the meal will come soon." ”

"Hmm." Han Xiao pressed the tea bowl and said, "Mrs. Xu is here today?" ”

Shen Xiu was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Han Xiao to be so busy, and she could still know that Xu Mei was here for such a trivial matter, and said, "It's here, I said something crazy, and I asked people to send her away." ”

Han Xiao looked directly at Shen Xiu and said, "You're not the one who will listen to her say crazy, what did she say?" ”

When he entered the palace of Yongshou County, the steward reported it.

The area of the palace of Yongshou County is not large, Xu Mei is so noisy, how can she not hear it.

It's just that Shen Xiu dealt with it, and the steward didn't take care of it. But something so big happened, Han Xiao came, and the steward must repay it.

"Uh......" Shen Xiu hesitated and said, "Mrs. Xu said that there is news of my mother." But ......"

"Do you want to exchange Cheng Shaomu's life?" Han Xiao continued.

guessed and guessed, only Cheng Shaomu would be exchanged by Xu Mei.

Shen Xiu nodded and said, "Mrs. Xu said that Uncle Cheng has seen my mother. However, there is no basis for words, and no actual evidence can be produced. I have written a letter to my brother for him to dispose of. ”

Han Xiao was silent for a while before he said, "Then do you want me to let Cheng Shaomu go?" ”

"This ......" Shen Xiu was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Such a big matter, naturally the prince of the world has to adjudicate." You can't disrupt the plan of the prince just because Mrs. Xu said a few words of nonsense. ”

If Xu Meizhen put the knife on her mother's neck, she would definitely beg Han Xiao.

But now everything is unknown, and she is not sure that Han Xiao will pay so much.

Even Manager Wang specially reminded her that what she was worried about was that if Cheng Shaomu was really released, but what she got was fake news, it would be a big loss.

"Looks like your answer." Han Xiao said, but couldn't help but sigh softly.

Never coquettish, never demanding, Shen Xiu's feelings are always so rational.

This made him like it, but he sighed a little.

is too well-behaved and sensible, mostly because he has suffered too much. If you suffer too much, you will naturally not be willful.

"Otherwise, what does the prince think I will answer?" Shen Xiu said with a smile.

Han Xiao said: "You're worried about your mother-in-law, right?" ”

Shen Xiu is very clear about the fate of the official slave. Many times, it is better to be alive than to be dead.

Shen Xiu paused slightly, and said, "I have written to my brother, and I believe that my brother can handle it." ”

"Then why don't you trust me to handle it?" Han Xiao said, "I wrote to my brother, but I didn't tell me that I was by my side." You are my wife, and your mother is my mother. ”

"You, the prince ......" Shen Xiu was stunned on the spot.

Han Xiao took Shen Xiu's hand and said, "I know about this matter, I will deal with it, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Thank you." Shen Xiu said, suddenly feeling relieved, there was nothing to worry about.

At the same time, in the study of King Yan's Mansion, the door was still tightly closed.

Although it is said to be under house arrest, the house arrest has been under arrest for a long time, and the environment is similar to that in prison. There was no waiter, no one cleaned the house, and although the two meals a day were not broken, the bath water was gone.

The floor was dusty, and dirty clothes were piled up. There is no hair and beard, and the body is full of embarrassment, where there is still a trace of the appearance of a noble son.

There is no light in the house, the last candle was burned yesterday, and new ones have not been delivered, and they should not be delivered again.

The window was closed, not by him, but sealed from the outside. During the day, there is a faint light coming in, and at night, it is pitch black and you can't see anything.

"Cousin, cousin......"

Xu Mei whispered at the window, and the night was the time when the guards were the most relaxed. She pawned jewelry to make sure that she finally gave them a chance to meet through the window.

The hurried call made Cheng Shaomu wake up from his dazed and distracted state.

"Cousin." Cheng Shaomu said, and walked to the window in the dark.

In the past, he hated Xu Mei the most for calling him his cousin, he was mediocre, neither smart nor wise, nor gentle and considerate.

Obviously, there is no possibility for the two of them, but they are still full of ugliness pestering him, which makes him annoyed.

But in the end, she was the only one who still contributed to him and worked hard for him.

"I went to see Shen Xiu." Xu Mei said eagerly, time is limited, there is really no effort to waste, "She didn't believe it." ”

"Don't believe me?" Cheng Shaomu was slightly stunned, "Didn't you relay all the words?" ”

He had already told the details of the chat, and it was impossible for Shen Xiu not to believe it.

Xu Mei said: "It's all said, I didn't miss a word." I think she is a ruthless person, and she lives well, so she won't care about her mother's life or death. ”

"No, it won't." Cheng Shaomu said, but there was a little drumming in his heart.

Shen Xiu said that he had never understood her. Maybe he really didn't understand, but he really didn't have a way.

"She was very resolute and asked her subordinates to kick me out." Xu Mei said, "What's even more hateful is that she also ordered someone to tie me up, this poisonous woman, if it wasn't for her cousin back then, she wouldn't know how miserable her fate would be." ”

Cheng Shaomu had no intention of recalling the past with her, but said, "Does she have anything else to say?" ”

"Nope." Xu Mei said: "She is now the favorite concubine of the prince, and she is pregnant again. Don't talk about the news of your mother, even if your mother is dead, I'm afraid she won't take a look. Cousin, let's think of another way. ”

Shen Xiu is this kind of person, cold-blooded and ruthless.

Cheng Shaomu treated her well, but she turned her face and didn't recognize anyone.

"Alas......"

Cheng Shaomu sighed, and said to himself a little: "I really have no choice." ”

"It's better to beg the princess again." Xu Mei said, "It's always a family, she won't die without help." ”

Cheng Shaomu smiled bitterly, he and Cheng Yuanniang were already the abandoned sons of Princess Cheng, how could they be saved. So he diverted the topic and asked, "How is Yuan Niang, have you gone to see her?" ”

"I went to see it in the morning, and she was still like that." Xu Mei said but couldn't help sighing, "I really don't know what she's thinking, it's all like this, it's still crazy." ”

She and Cheng Yuanniang have always been good sisters, and Cheng Yuanniang was fine before.

But after the last serious illness was cured, the whole person was wrong. Talking is like eating gunpowder, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is sprayed at everyone.

"I mistook her." Cheng Shaomu sighed, not only mistaken her, but also hurt himself.

A place like the palace is not a place where they should stay at all.

The so-called glory scenery is all earned with life. He doesn't have this ability, and Cheng Yuanniang doesn't have it.

"Cousin, don't say that, you'll be fine." Xu Mei said, "Even if I don't want my life, I will save you." ”

Cheng Shaomu smiled bitterly: "Cousin, don't say that, it's not worth it, and it's meaningless." ”

He is not worthy of Xu Mei's life exchange, this is not to negotiate conditions with Hades, he can exchange his life for a life.
