Chapter 23: The Peak and the Loop (4)

Since getting out of the car, Shen Hanxi didn't look at her again, nor did he explain what she should do, with an attitude of leaving her to fend for herself.

However, the subordinates who came to greet the Great Prince's Mansion couldn't help but think more. The fair-faced brocade man who followed behind Shen Hanxi was no more than a weak crown at most, weak and delicate, not like Shen Hanxi's ordinary guards. He can ride in the same carriage with Shen Hanxi, and he should be very loved by Shen Hanxi.

Song Ran didn't notice the inquiring gazes around him. She kept up with Shen Hanxi's pace, and couldn't help but sigh, in the end, it was a royal mansion, even if it was the residence of the unfavored prince, it was also connected by roads, dotted with mountains and stones, and pavilions and pavilions.

At the end of the blue brick road, there is a beautiful lake in the garden, and there is a wooden plank road leading to the water pavilion in the lake. The clear water is sparkling, the green willows are hanging around, and there are several figures in the water pavilion from a distance, and the eldest prince should be among them.

Coming here, the butler of the Prince's Mansion made a stop gesture to the entourage, including Song Ran. Song Ran was originally here to make up the numbers, so he naturally had no opinion, but the two brocade clothes on the left and right stopped doing it, and his eyes were cold.

Seeing Shen Hanxi's eyes, the two of them put away their hostility and watched him go to the water pavilion alone.

Maybe it was the light of the master, and the people in the Great Prince's Mansion treated them very politely: "Please move to the side hall and wait." ”

Song Ran was about to agree, but he heard one of the brocade clothes say with a paralyzed face: "No need." ”

She was inevitably disappointed and stood still and sighed. During Shen Hanxi's conversation with the eldest prince, she raised her eyes many times, but she was far away, and she didn't even see the appearance of the eldest prince. I could hear the faint sound of speech, but I couldn't hear the content clearly.

Shen Hanxi talked to the other party for half an hour.

Song Ran has not been active for a long time, and he has stood cold for so long, and it is inevitable that he will have back pain. She thumped her hands on her waist, and before she knew it, the conversation at the water pavilion had stopped. She raised her eyes and saw Shen Hanxi get up and leave the table.

"Come on, send Lord Shen!" The eldest prince was still sitting, unable to see his expression, but judging from his stiff tone, the two should not be speculative.

Shen Hanxi said "no" and went into the water pavilion alone.

Song Ran hurriedly stopped the movements in his hand, lowered his head respectfully, and quickly followed him after he passed by him. Looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be angry, but he wasn't too happy.

His pace was much faster than when he came, and Song Ran had to trot to keep up, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart. When Shen Hanxi got into the carriage, she held on to the wall of the carriage and discussed with the people inside: "My lord, can I sit outside and breathe the wind." ”

The evil god inside said coldly: "Come up." ”

Song Ran: "...... Be. ”

When Song Ran sat in the car with his waist up, he listened to his instructions outside the car: "The head that the official wants, let Xia Xiaoqiu bring it to me today." Also, Ma Zhe, the governor of Fengyang, and Meng Yuanji, the chief secretary of the Zhan Mansion...... "He stroked the fingers on his hand and read out a few names, "Let Wang Zhuo turn over the case files of these people, pick a few charges at random, and bring them to the prison of the Imperial Health Division." ”

A brocade man outside the car couldn't help but remind him: "My lord, Deputy Envoy Wang was only sent to Zhejiang by you yesterday ......"

Shen Hanxi's face did not change: "Recall back." ”

The other party said, "Yes." ”

Hearing the names he said, Song Ran was shocked. Some of them are local officials, and some are important members of the central government, but in Shen Hanxi's eyes, they are just a few lowly names. If he wants to take their heads today, he will take their heads, and whatever he wants them to charge, they will be charged.

Although she didn't know what Shen Hanxi had talked about with the prince, she knew that he must have drawn some conclusions from today's conversationβ€”a conclusion about who should be removed.

The eldest prince sat alone at the table in the water pavilion, pursed his thin lips, and his eyes were condensed. A blue-clothed boy walked out from behind the partition fan, and said in a faint tone: "Your Highness's hostility is a little more explicit." Shen Hanxi is not an ordinary person, and His Highness still needs to master some measure. ”

The eldest prince said coldly: "What you want His Highness to say, His Highness has already said it to him, but when he thinks that he is Shen Hanxi, His Highness can't greet him with a smile." ”

The blue-robed boy tapped his palm with a folding fan: "Your Highness's mood is understandable, but in fact, His Highness's performance is harmless." His Royal Highness wants him to be used for himself, just let him know that he has common interests with him, and his attitude towards him is too courteous, but it is not easy to be trusted by him. ”

The eldest prince seemed to be digesting what he said, looked at the water ripples spreading in the breeze for a long time, and spoke: "Shen Hanxi, will you really get rid of Meng Yuanji for His Royal Highness?" ”

There was a smile in the voice of the blue-robed prince: "Zhan Shifu has the most direct influence on the crown prince, His Majesty has not yet established a prince, he has already had a disagreement with Shen Hanxi, according to Shen Hanxi's personality, how can he be allowed to continue to be free." As for the others, it was regarded as a meeting gift to him. ”

The eldest prince couldn't help but glance at him. This person looks carefree and uninhibited in front of him, but there is such a deep calculation and strategy hidden behind him.

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they really can't judge people by their appearance.

When the blue-robed prince left the Great Prince's Mansion, a person quietly followed him, walked to a secluded place, stepped forward and attached it to his ear, and reported in detail the people Shen Hanxi had been in contact with recently, including the young man who was in the same car with him today.

As he listened, his long, merry eyes narrowed slightly. Thinking of the shadow I saw in the water pavilion from a distance today, the corners of my lips hooked slightly. I really didn't expect to see her here, and I didn't expect that Shen Hanxi, who had never liked people to get close, would let people sit in his carriage......

Interesting, very interesting.

In a hidden house in the south of the city, the man waved back left and right, and walked towards the side courtyard alone.

In the well-guarded warm pavilion, a well-known man in a wide-sleeved robe sat by the window with a handsome face, heard his footsteps, slowly turned his head, and his tone was full of unconcealed hostility: "Son's righteous help, Xiao is grateful, but Xiao has been recuperating in your mansion for a few days, I don't know when Childe will be willing to let Xiao leave?" ”

The blue-robed boy went to the window by himself, opened the carved wooden window, the sunlight was a little dazzling, he squinted his eyes slightly in the wind, and said: "Don't you know the current situation of Lord Xiao, if I let you out, Lord Xiao will definitely die, how can I push Lord Xiao into the fire pit, after all, it took a lot of effort to save it." ”

The person who finally placed him in the Tingwei Division was put in to save him, he didn't appreciate him, and he gave him a look all day long, no wonder this Lord Xiao was not popular in the court, it was really strange that he was too ignorant.

Xiao Yan clenched his fingertips: "But Xiao can't hide for a lifetime, I don't believe it, he Shen Hanxi can reverse right and wrong with just one mouth." ”

"Then you don't know Shen Hanxi yet, and you don't know about the current saint." The man in blue turned his head to look at him, "Lord Xiao don't be impatient, when the time is ripe, you will have the opportunity to confront Shen Hanxi." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the table and poured a cup of tea: "I just came back from the eldest prince, guess who I saw?" ”

Xiao Yan asked not too concernedly, "Who?" ”

"Who is the most sorry in Lord Xiao's heart?"

Xiao Yan's hand trembled, his whole face stiffened, and he asked after a while: "She...... How can you be in Ling'an? ”

"I don't know. But if Lord Xiao wants to see her as soon as possible, it's best to listen to my arrangement. ”

"You must think that this official is very hateful." In the carriage, Shen Hanxi spoke lightly.

Song Ran withdrew the hand that tapped on his waist and put it on his lap: "How dare the people's daughter." ”

He glanced at her and said slowly, "The eldest prince invited me here today to give me a few big gifts. But the drunkard's intention was not to have a good relationship with me, but to borrow my hand and kill a few people for him. To be honest, these calculations are all left over from my play. But if I don't make a show, won't I not give face to the eldest prince? ”

Song Ran lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, he didn't know why he suddenly said this to himself. The light in the car was dim, and occasionally some light leaked in from the curtain, flickering across her face. She was puzzled: "Isn't my lord being taken advantage of?" ”

His face was covered with a faint shadow, with razor-sharp edges.

She only glanced at his face in a hurry, and then withdrew her gaze, not daring to look again, but she did not miss a sneering smile that rose from the corner of his mouth.

"It's not being used, right, everyone takes what they need, aren't all officials getting along with each other in this way? Use and use, you count me, I count you. Meng Yuanji and his ilk have long been a bit of an eyesore, but I let them live to this day, which can be regarded as a great kindness. As for them, they are not restrained at all, and even the eldest prince can detect their dissent, which shows their rampantness. It's about face, I might as well take this opportunity to kill a few people. ”

Song Ran was silent for a moment, and didn't know how to evaluate it, so he had to compliment him: "My lord is wise." ”

She lifted the curtain, and her hair was immediately ruffled by the wind, revealing a round, upright forehead. Outside the car, there are four fields, and no one can be seen in the distance. Her face changed slightly: "My lord, this is not the way back to the Imperial Guard. ”

Shen Hanxi looked at her calmly: "I'm not busy going back, it's not easy...... and then the snake was lured out. ”

Song Ran's heart jumped suddenly, and she heard a neighing of the horse, and the body followed by a violent bump, and she clung to the wall of the car to prevent it from slipping. There was a sound of swords outside the car, and she hurriedly crawled to the car door out of the instinct of survival, but was dragged back by Shen Hanxi.

Due to the bump of the carriage and horses, she almost lay on his lap.

He held her down, and there was a faint coldness in his voice: "Don't move." Tingwei Si's secret whistles are everywhere, but he can only rely on this way to lure him out, if he succeeds in luring him into arrest, it is still through Miss Song's face. ”

His fingers landed on her face, wandering for a moment, before suddenly lifting her chin.

He was wearing a golden python robe that symbolized the glory and wealth of a supreme minister, but he felt extremely cold. This was the first time she had looked at him directly, and it was also the first time she had realized so directly how beautiful the face in front of her was. Especially those eyes, which make people hold their breath and their brains go blank.

He didn't exert much force in his hands, but she couldn't move as if her eyes were fixed there.

I only listened to his lazy tone, and said: "This official has liked this face for so many years, and he killed ...... What a pity. ”

Her breathing flickered slightly, and she saw him leaning down towards her. His clothes smelled like blue and musk, just like the day she first saw him.

He looked at her from a distance, with a touch of careless banter in his eyes, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and his eyes and tone were unpredictable: "Don't hide?" ”

His breath as he spoke, falling between her snorts, tinged with a little moist warmth.

Seeing that she was silent, he spoke again, still in the same playful and nonchalant tone: "That's willing." ”

Before she could speak, his lips fell to her.

Where she doesn't hide, it's clear that he doesn't hide for her.
