138 Rebellion for the Throne
"How? Nanxia and Beihu have just reconciled. ”
"Harmony is just superficial, the battle between Nanxia and Beihu is inevitable, it's just a matter of time or time, and I don't want to wait too long."
Not only did Shen Yuexi not want to wait too long, she didn't want Zhao Guang to lead the war, she wanted Zhao Zheng to be the emperor, she wanted to start a war against Beihu as the mother of a country, and she wanted her children to be the emperor of Southern Xia in the future, so as to make the name of the Shen family. She had been thinking about this for a long time.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Yi asked.
"I have my own way." Shen Yuexi smiled, then approached Shen Yi and whispered his plan.
Although he has been separated from Shen Yuexi for less than a year, Shen Yuexi's current changes have surprised Shen Yi, Shen Yuexi in the past was bright and lively, and Shen Yuexi's eyes flashed with coldness, and the depth of the city surprised him.
After talking for so long, the prison guard came in from outside and whispered that Shen Yuexi should leave.
"Brother, I'll come to see you later." Shen Yuexi said to Shen Yi.
Before leaving, Shen Yuexi stuffed a silver ticket to the prison warden, "Trouble makes him live a little better." ”
The warden accepted the ticket and nodded understandingly.
Leaving death row and walking back onto the street, Shen Yuexi felt like he had returned to the world from hell.
She felt the warmth of the sun shining on her body and sighed, "It's really nice to see the sun." ”
Approaching August, the sun was scorching, Zhicui was drowsy from the sun, and he really couldn't understand Shen Yuexi's words.
Shen Yuexi walked slowly in the street, the cold air from the death row had not been dispelled for a long time, after turning a few streets, Zhicui's sweat had already come down, she turned her head to look at Shen Yuexi, worried that she would suffer from heat stroke if she walked under the scorching sun for too long, but Shen Yuexi's face was silent and there was no heat.
"Seventh Princess, you are really not afraid of the sun." Zhicui sighed and wiped her sweat with a silk handkerchief.
Shen Yuexi didn't speak, thinking to herself, how could she not be afraid of the sun, she was just cold in her heart, so cold that she couldn't even feel the heat in her body.
Before returning to the palace, Shen Yuexi went to a lo-mei shop and bought some braised meat, and went to a dim sum shop to buy some dim sum.
When you go out shopping, you have to bring something back.
During dinner, Zhao Zheng saw the lo-mei and dim sum brought back by Shen Yuexi, "The housekeeper said that you went to the market today, and you will go out to bring a few families in the future, otherwise it will not be safe." ”
Well. Shen Yuexi responded softly.
"Wei Zhutou has returned to the capital, it's been so long, so he won't stay on the frontier all the time." After a moment of silence, Shen Yuexi asked.
"Well, I'm back." Zhao Zheng nodded.
"Did he find out about the murderer?"
"He reported these things directly to the emperor, how could I know."
Hearing Zhao Zheng say this, Shen Yuexi stopped saying anything.
It's been a long time, she and Zhao Zheng haven't talked to each other, and the strange alienation is sneaking into them little by little.
The next day, Shen Yuexi went out of the palace again, and she went to Dali Temple again, but this time she didn't go to visit Shen Yi, but to Wei Daxun.
Wei Daxun is not in Dali Temple, he is not a person who can sit still, even if there is no case, he will go around the capital.
Shen Yuexi waited for him for a while, quietly looking at the furnishings of Dali Temple, heavy, depressing, giving people a wordless sense of oppression, thinking of the fact that so many sinners have been interrogated here throughout the ages, Shen Yuexi sighed a little, how many of these sinners were wronged?
For example, his own father.
Wanting to fight here, Shen Yuexi sighed and prepared to leave Dali Temple with Zhicui.
When he walked into the courtyard, he ran into Wei Daxun who came in from outside.
Seeing Shen Yuexi, Wei Daxun was stunned, "Seventh princess? How did you end up here? ”
"I'm waiting for you." Shen Yuexi smiled.
Wei Daxun sighed and nodded.
"I want to invite you to a cup of tea, I don't know if you are willing to appreciate your face Wei Zhutou?"
Wei Daxun naturally agreed. walked out of Dali Temple with Shen Yuexi.
They went to a tea house not far away, found a quiet private room, sat down, ordered tea, and then began to greet each other.
"When did Wei Zhutou return to the capital?"
"It's been a month."
"How's the case going? Is there a result? ”
Wei Daxun's face was ashamed, "It's ashamed to say that I have returned in vain." ”
"Then you can't be blamed, after all, the incident has been going on for too long, there are no clues and no evidence to investigate, not to mention that this matter is not so simple." Shen Yuexi looked at Wei Daxun with a smile.
Wei Daxun's keen sense of smell was mobilized by Shen Yuexi's words, "Why is it not simple?" ”
"In ordinary homicide cases, the murderer will always leave such and such clues, and in unusual cases, the murderer behind the scenes will be extraordinary, and the hidden secrets are even more shocking."
"So, Seventh Princess, what do you know?" Wei Daxun asked with a meaningful smile.
"I also learned recently that the reason why the Shen family was in trouble was because of a rumor."
"What rumors?"
"Some people say that my father used to be a Tobe Shangshu and hid a valuable vault, which made some people in power hear it, and they killed him in order to get this valuable treasury."
Wei Daxun raised his eyebrows, "If you want to get the vault, don't you have to keep your mouth alive, right?" ”
"Who knows?" Shen Yuexi sighed, "Everyone's thoughts are different, and we naturally don't know what he thinks. ”
"So," Wei Daxun leaned in front of Shen Yuexi, "who is he?" ”
"King Beihu."
Wei Daxun listened thoughtfully, just like when Shen Yuexi first heard this name, he didn't show much surprise, because at the beginning, Wei Daxun also suspected the King of Beihu, and when he heard Shen Yuexi say it today, it seemed that his motive was more sufficient.
"So do your Shen family have that vault?" Wei Daxun asked in a low voice.
"There may or may not be." Shen Yuexi smiled, "Anyway, I haven't heard my father mention any treasury, maybe it's a rumor, but King Beihu took it seriously, since he can't get the vault, and he is afraid that this treasury will fall into the hands of Nanxia in the future, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”
Shen Yuexi said, narrowing her eyes and gritting her teeth.
Wei Daxun stared at Shen Yuexi's face with an expression of hatred without any flaws.
"Then why did you tell me about it, Seventh Princess?" Wei Daxun asked.
"I want you to report this matter to the emperor."
Wei Daxun felt even more incredible, "Why do you want to report it to the emperor?" ”
"I want to save my brother Shen Yi's life, he is now on death row, you know, right? With the use value, the emperor will not be willing to let him die, and this matter is also good for you, you have to have some findings when you go to the frontier, right? ”
"But I have already reported the results of the investigation of this case to the emperor."
"You can provide the results of the follow-up investigation, and the emperor will definitely be very interested in the treasury."
Wei Daxun thought for a while and shook his head, "Seventh Princess, although I don't know what your purpose is, the little one knows that you are using the little one as a sword." ”
"I'm just giving you a suggestion, it's up to you to say it or not." Shen Yuexi smiled, "But this news will soon spread everywhere, and if you don't say it at that time, some people will naturally say it, so you can do it yourself." ”
Wei Daxun sat up straight, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked at Shen Yuexi, guessing what her real purpose was for saying such a big deal.
Shen Yuexi also looked at Wei Daxun, he actually didn't have more choices, anyway, she would secretly reveal the matter of the Shen family's possession of a vault, completely disturbing the court and rivers and lakes of Beihu and Southern Xia.
After that, she, Shen Yuexi, and her brother Shen Yi were the targets of everyone's scramble, danger accompanied by vitality, even so, she didn't want to be as calm as she is now, and let Shen Yi rot silently on death row.
"That's it, it's up to you what you do, oh yes, I hope what we say today is limited to this room, even if you want to report to the emperor, don't mention my name, I know that you are a smart person, and naturally there is a way to round out your own words." At the end, Shen Yuexi said to Wei Daxun.
Wei Daxun didn't say a word, got up and saluted Shen Yuexi slightly, and then watched Shen Yuexi walk out of the door of the private room.
Zhicui, who was guarding outside, saw Shen Yuexi come out, and hurriedly asked excitedly: "The famous head catcher in the capital turns out to look like this." ”
"Or else? Three heads and six arms? Shen Yuexi replied lightly.
Zhicui was a little helpless by Shen Yuexi's words, but then she became happy again, she saw Wei Daxun, and the famous head catcher in the capital was content.
Out of the teahouse, Shen Yuexi took Zhicui and walked around the market for a while before returning home.
Zhao Zheng has no restraint on Shen Yuexi's frequent outings, but is a little worried about her body, she is now larger, her actions are becoming more and more clumsy, and the crowd in the market is complicated, in case there is a collision, the consequences are unimaginable.
"In the future, if you need something for someone to buy, the weather is hot, don't break your body." Zhao Zheng reminded tactfully.
"It's out of the way, I'm safe and sound even if I fell into the lake, so what about going to the market." Shen Yuexi replied indifferently.
Zhao Zheng knew that Shen Yuexi blamed him for not punishing Qian'er in the first place.
But Qian'er is just a five-year-old child, what does she know, it is nothing more than an unintentional mistake, but Shen Yuexi has always remembered it in her heart.
Zhao Zheng didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the house.
**
Three days later, the emperor summoned Zhao Zheng into the palace.
If nothing else, it was about Shen Qingshan's secret vault.
Zhao Zheng was deeply surprised and shook his head, "Brother Chen has never heard of this. ”
"It seems that the Seventh Princess has hidden something from you."
"Brother Chen thinks this matter is strange, I'm afraid it's not necessarily a rumor, otherwise how could Wei Daxun not find out."
Zhao Guang pondered for a moment, "If others don't believe it, but Shen Qingshan was the head of the household back then, and what he held in his hands was the money and power of the entire Southern Xia, as long as he was selfish, it was not impossible to hide a vault privately." ”
