Chapter 336: What a story to hide from the world
The death of King Jin is something that the whole world knows, and the people of Dayan all sigh. The King of Jin is gone, and the people's sense of security is gone, which is bad news for the people. Good news for just one person.
That is the prince who has always regarded King Jin as the strongest competitor and a thorn in his eye.
Seeing that the emperor suddenly became seriously ill, the heir to the throne became the focus of everyone's attention. The king of Jin is dead, the fourth prince is not in good health, and he has no intention of ruling the government, and the crown prince will definitely be the only candidate for succession.
Therefore, in this critical period of the imminent change of the throne, more and more people take the initiative to move closer to the crown prince, and there are more and more people who are engaged in entertainment.
But no matter how the situation changes, there are also people who will not change their minds, such as Yun Chong.
Everyone thought that Shan Ziyin's succession to the throne was inevitable, and he was the only one who had an indescribable uneasiness in his heart, and he kept thinking about every detail of that day in the garden.
Can a normal woman really be so indifferent when she sees a child she hasn't seen for many days? Or was that child really not her child? Or did she never have children at all?
On this day, someone invited Shan Ziyin to eat drunk and fragrant.
As soon as the group walked in, they found that the first floor was very lively.
There were a lot of people in front of the commentator, and even the people in the box came out to listen to the excitement.
"What is he talking about today?" The list asked the shopkeeper who came up.
The shopkeeper seemed a little embarrassed, until Shan Ziyin's gaze swept towards him, he shuddered, lowered his head and whispered, "What kind of tanuki is it to change the prince." ”
Shan Zi's eyes condensed slightly, and he looked at the storyteller.
The court official who invited the prince to the banquet today hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness the prince, the lower official has already booked a private room upstairs, please." ”
Shan Zi said faintly, "No need, just sit here." He reached out and gestured to an empty seat on the first floor.
The group of people in front of the storyteller listened fascinated, laughing from time to time and asking questions from time to time.
The tanuki hunt for the prince tells a story in the court that hides from the world.
The official who invited the guest originally wanted to have some private words with the prince, but now in such a noisy place, it is difficult to talk about anything.
And Shan Ziyin kept staring at the storyteller, and the more he listened, the colder his face became.
What a story to hide from the world!
Could it be that there are also people hiding from him in front of him?
As soon as the dishes were served, the official was raising his glass and preparing to toast, but Shan Ziyin stood up suddenly, turned around and left with a calm face.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince......" He hurriedly put down the wine glass and chased out.
Shan Ziyin didn't stop, and only said lightly, "Get together another day." ”
The prince has already said this, what else can he say, thinking about a table of untouched food, how painful it is? But he had to smile and nod.
"Okay, you, you go slowly!"
Not long after returning to the Prince's Mansion, Cheng Kui came in a hurry with someone.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiangyang is here."
As soon as Xiang Yang entered the study, he knelt down with a plop and a flattering smile.
"The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Shan Ziyin stared at him coldly, and didn't speak for a while.
Xiang Yang sensed that the prince's mood was not quite right today, so the smile on his face stiffened a little, and he only knelt and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Xiangyang, who am I?" After a long while, Shan Ziyin asked lightly.
Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, and said with a flattering smile, "You, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
After answering, he met the cold gaze of the list, which seemed to have no temperature, and lowered his head weakly.
"Do you know what the fate of deceiving and playing with Prince Ben is?"
Hearing the cold voice of Shan Ziyin, Xiang Yang trembled with fright, and kowtowed again and again in panic.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, even if you give the grass people a hundred dares, the grass people will not dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Tell me about the child's origins!" Shan Ziyin picked up the teacup unhurriedly.
Child?
Xiang Yang didn't believe him when he saw Shan Ziyin's expression, and swallowed his saliva in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, that child is indeed the child of Princess Jin and His Royal Highness King Jin, and His Royal Highness King Jin is indeed not dead, this is all what the grass people have seen with their own eyes, and it is true."
Shan Ziyin gently put down the teacup and looked at him.
"Princess Jin has returned, and now she lives in the Anguo Mansion, give you ten days, and you will prove that what you said is true."
Prove?
Xiang Yang lay on the ground in panic, trembling and nodded.
"Yes."
After Cheng Kui left with Xiangyang, Shan Ziyin closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, rubbing his eyebrows tiredly, and did not move.
When Red Rain came in, her steps were lighter, and she carefully placed a cup of hot tea on her desk.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's cold, can you warm up with a cup of hot tea? If you are sleepy, go to bed and take care of the cold. ”
Shan Ziyin opened his eyes, sat up, uncovered the tea lid, and suddenly a special aroma rushed along the heat.
He took a sip and took a sip in his mouth for a while, looking at Red Rain.
"Where did this tea come from?"
The red rain snorted, as if he was a little afraid to speak.
Shan Ziyin sighed, "Say it." ”
Hongyu whispered, "This is sent by the waste princess, she knows that His Royal Highness the prince likes to drink this kind of tea, and she searched all over the capital and tasted a lot of tea before she found this taste." She didn't let the slave say it, for fear that you wouldn't drink it if you knew she sent it. ”
Shan Ziyin took another sip before he said, "I know, you go down!" ”
He would never have known that the tea from Yipin Tea House was actually produced in the room of the second lady of An Guofu.
Yun Qixi heard that the first batch of goods was selling well, and prepared a second batch to be sent.
But she always felt a little strange in the past two days, as if there were a few fresh faces probing their brains at the door of the house, sneaky.
On this day, she had just walked a short distance out of the house when she heard two whistles, Shi Xiaoliu, who had not been seen for a few days.
Yun Qixi looked around vigilantly and walked towards Shi Xiaoliu.
"I really didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Jin was ......"
"Be quiet."
Shi Xiaoliu had just started when he was interrupted by Yun Qixi.
But he was so surprised that when he sent the letter to the address she had given, and saw the living Shan Liancheng, he almost thought he had seen a ghost.
Shi Xiaoliu took out a letter and handed it to her, "This is what he asked me to give you." ”
Yun Qixi took the letter, didn't rush to open it, put it away, smiled and reached out to pat Shi Xiaoliu's shoulder.
"Shi Xiaoliu, you have done a good job as a messenger."
Listening to her praise, Shi Xiaoliu stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, laughed twice, remembered the events of that day, and asked, "By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took you away yesterday, is it okay?" ”
Yun Qixi chuckled in his heart and grabbed him.
"You didn't tell him about that day, did you?"
Seeing that she was so excited, Shi Xiaoliu quickly shook his head, "No." ”
Yun Qixi let go of his hand and warned him again, "Don't mention anything else except sending a letter, do you hear?" ”
If he let her know what happened that day, he would definitely not be able to calm down outside the capital, in case an impulse entered the capital, it would just be a slip of the list.
Yun Qixi thought about it, suddenly a smile narrowed in his eyes, and he looked back at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Shi Xiaoliu, in order to thank you for your hard work, I decided to invite you to have a drunk and fragrant meal at night, do you want to appreciate your face?" ”
Shi Xiaoliu was happy, "Really? Such a good thing? ”
Yun Qixi glanced at him, "Are you coming?" ”
Shi Xiaoliu nodded hurriedly, "Eat and drink for nothing, of course I'm here." ”
In the evening, Yun Qixi arrived drunk and fragrant as agreed, and Shi Xiaoliu was already waiting there.
They sat by the window on the second floor, and Yun Qixi generously let Shi Xiaoliu order his own food.
"Shi Xiaoliu, you have to continue to do this messenger's work."
After speaking, she took out a neatly folded letterhead and handed it to Shi Xiaoliu.
"Put it away, this important secret must not be leaked."
Hearing her say this, Shi Xiaoliu immediately put it away carefully.
After eating, Shi Xiaoliu left first, and when he left, he said, "Don't worry, I will send this letter out of the city tomorrow." ”
Watching Shi Xiaoliu go downstairs, Yun Qixi looked at the wine on the table, and then slowly poured himself a glass.
The window on the side was open, and it was quite cold when the wind blew in, but after drinking a sip of wine, the coldness faded a lot.
Winter is coming, will spring be far away?
It is said that Shi Xiaoliu drank two taels of wine, and after walking out of the drunken fragrance, he hummed a small tune all the way, and was in a comfortable mood.
As soon as he turned the street, several tall men suddenly blocked his eyes.
This is obviously a mistake, according to his usual temper, he is not so easy to bear. But today was different, he had important information on him, so he planned to go around them calmly and continue walking.
"Catch him!" One of the men shouted in a deep voice.
As soon as Shi Xiaoliu heard this, he ran away, and the people behind him chased after him.
"Stop!"
Joke! You let stand still, you stop!
However, before he could run far, several more men appeared in front of him.
There was no way ahead, there were pursuers behind him, and he had no way to escape. In desperation, he ran into a nearby alley.
Unfortunately, it was a dead alley.
Watching a group of people approaching step by step, Shi Xiaoliu smiled without suffering the loss in front of him.
"Guys looking for me?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's him, I just saw Princess Jin sneaking around with him, there must be something."
A group of people got out of the way, and Xiang Yang led the brocade-clothed Shan Ziyin all the way to Shi Xiaoliu.
"Is that you?"
He remembered him, and the last time he told him that Yun Qixi was drunk.
Shi Xiaoliu involuntarily took two steps back, but he couldn't retreat, and shouted with a dry smile.
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Are you familiar with Princess Jin?" In the dark night, Shan Zi stared at him faintly.
Shi Xiaoliu hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, how is it possible?" How could Princess Jin be familiar with a little person like me, but she just happened to meet her. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't listen to his nonsense, I saw with my own eyes that Princess Jin gave him something." Xiang Yang looked at him indignantly.
Shan Ziyin glanced at Shi Xiaoliu, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
"Search."
