Chapter 428: In Peril
Le An felt as if her father and the crown prince's brother had said another cruel thing, but she couldn't get the key meaning from it. (8) (1) Δ文网*.┡81.
Although she is favored by the emperor, she is not stupid, like things in the court she can guess just by hearing about them. Thinking of Shen Yinqiu and her position, she never imagined that it would be comparable to the opposite.
Shen Yinqiu sat in the carriage leaving the palace, surrounded by seven or eight guards. It was getting late, she opened a small window, and the streets were empty, except for some leeward places, there were a few late-night food stalls supporting it, and a few men gathered there to drink and chat.
Shen Yinqiu closed the car window, looked at Wan Qiyan, silently moved to his side, and pulled his arm, "Are you asleep?" ”
Wan Qiyan naturally didn't fall asleep, he was just closing his eyes and ears, or always paying attention to Shen Yinqiu's actions.
"I know you're not asleep." Shen Yinqiu didn't wait for him to answer, "We helped him thoroughly, isn't it too exposed, will he take care of your ability, and then cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”
Wan Qiyan opened his eyes, and the light on the table reflected his eyes, "Why did you think of this?" ”
Shen Yinqiu looked at him blankly, and subconsciously said: "Because they seem to have let you participate in anything on the surface, and they have been holding us as a shield." ”
Wan Qiyan sighed and took her into his arms, "You don't have to think about so much. ”
"Is that true? When we're done with all these things, they won't keep us, will they? ”
"Unless he mobilizes all the forces at his disposal, he won't be able to do any harm to us, but that will inevitably put him in a weak position, and the court will not really be peaceful." Wan Qiyan said softly, "When we take someone to escort the eldest princess away tomorrow, we won't have to worry about the affairs of the court." ”
Shen Yinqiu sighed, "Then we have done so much, what did we get out of it?" You said that you want to cooperate with the prince for mutual benefit, but we have always been helping him do things, and we have not benefited, and they all said that we should take a long-term view, and these things will end in the long run. ”
"It's good to get the goal, we don't have any big losses anyway." Wan Qiyan comforted him and said, he had no intention of competing for those powers, but if the emperor wanted to be unfavorable to him or Yinqiu, it was not impossible for him to help other princes instead.
When the two returned to the Hou Mansion, the mansion was still brightly lit, as if they were waiting for them on purpose, at such a late hour.
Shen Yinqiu and Wan Qian Yan glanced at each other, and the two went in hand in hand, and sure enough, they saw Wan Qi Situ who was still sitting in the hall.
He was deaf and clear-sighted, keenly aware of their footsteps, and looked up, his eyes were sharp, and he lacked the tolerance he usually saw when he saw Wan Qiyan.
So their trip to the palace made him realize something?
"You're back." Wan Qi Situ looked at them in a deep voice and said.
This normal attitude made Wan Qiyan step into the hall, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Ziyan, the evidence of those ministers' crimes was really collected and presented to the emperor by you?"
"Questions?"
Wan Qi Situ was angry and lost his temper, "Do you know who you offended?" The power of the emperor today is not as great as you think, and he also has things that need to be weighed and weighed, and you have to do this thing to break his balance! Do you think you've made a meritorious service? How many pairs of eyes are staring at you out there now, do you know? ”
Although this accusation is fierce, it is not difficult to hear his concern.
Shen Yinqiu looked at Wan Qi Situ quietly, this was the first time that Wan Qi Situ didn't even give her the afterglow, this time he was talking about business, he probably didn't bother to pay attention to her little shrimp.
After Wan Qiyan heard his words, he raised his head and said, "I know, but if I'm afraid, can I stop doing it?" "Besides, he is not afraid.
Wan Qian Situ choked, thinking that Wan Qian Yan meant that the emperor asked him to do this, he thought for a while and said: "Even if the emperor asks you to do this, you don't have to hand in so much evidence to pull out Nan Houye's right hand." I don't believe you'll think about it, it's just that you did it on purpose. ”
Wan Qiyan nodded, "Don't worry, I won't affect you because of my business." ”
Wan Qi Situ smiled, "Your every move has made people from all walks of life watch!" Is it a problem for even dads now? Now it's a question of how many people out there want your life. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, it's getting late, you better rest early." After Wan Qiyan finished speaking, he turned around and planned to leave, because Wan Qisitu didn't mourn anymore and didn't let go of some things in the past, so his attitude was not bad.
Shen Yinqiu was carried away by Wan Qianyan, she took the time to look back at Wan Qian Situ, and saw that his expression was very gloomy, as if he was in a rage, but there was no resentment.
Wan Qiyan turned her head over and didn't let her look at it.
Not long after the two of them left, they heard the sound of smashing objects in the original hall, and from this sound, you could know how angry Wan Qi Situ was.
"He seems to care about you." Shen Yinqiu looked sideways at Wan Qiyan's expression and said.
"Let it be." Wan Qiyan looked at Shen Yinqiu with a smile after speaking, and hugged her tighter, the night was already deep, and he was afraid that she would freeze.
After that loud noise, instead of causing a commotion, the entire mansion fell silent, and the candles were extinguished one after another behind them, thinking that Wan Qi Situ had also left.
On the way back to Chang'an Courtyard, I didn't see a small house, and Wan Tong carried a lantern in front of them to illuminate. Suddenly, seeing walking, she raised the lantern in her hand, looked at the dark place vigilantly and scolded: "Who? ”
Wan Qiyan and Shen Yinqiu both stopped, watching a person walk step by step from the darkness to their lantern.
"Second Young Master?" Wan Tong recognized the person, looked back at Wan Qiyan, and waited for his instructions.
Wan Qiyan looked up at him, "What's the matter?" ”
The first thing he said when he saw anyone in the Hou Mansion was something.
Wan Jisheng looked at Wan Qiyan and said, "Today, several officials came to visit the mansion. ”
Shen Yinqiu listened, looking at Wan Qisheng's expression from time to time. How many officials came to visit? Is it looking for Hou Fu or Wan Qianyan?
Wan Jisheng waited for a few breaths without waiting for Wan Qianyan's answer, and then continued: "They are all for your business openly and secretly, you have become a hero in front of the emperor, and it doesn't matter if you put yourself in danger in order to be a hero, I don't care if you take the trouble home, and you don't care about Shen Yinqiu's life or death, do you know how many times the guards in the palace have stopped the dead soldiers who came to assassinate you?" How much did Daddy's secret guard lose? ”
Shen Yinqiu was a little confused, the dead are not something that ordinary people can keep in captivity. And she really didn't know that someone was so bold as to dare to climb the wall of the Hou Mansion to assassinate. After all, whether it is Wan Qi Situ or the eldest princess, they are not easy to mess with, one has been on the battlefield and made great achievements, and there are many soldiers who are loyal to him, and the other is the eldest princess who currently holds one-third of the military power.
Wan Qiyan didn't seem surprised at all, as if he had known about these things for a long time, and he asked rhetorically, "So what?" ”
"Wan Qianyan! You're terrible, what do we owe you? When you were a child, you were not in good health, who is to blame for those diseases? I haven't seen my health get better and take revenge on my own family. ”
"Who's to blame?" Wan Qiyan's voice was several degrees lower, Shen Yinqiu wanted to support his forehead, Wan Qisheng seemed to be a pitiful little who didn't know anything and was kept in the dark, and when he said this, he pulled hatred.
Wan Qisheng also said with a straight face, "If you want to soar and climb up, we have no opinion." But the approach you're using is truly shameful. ”
After Wan Qiyan sneered, he still didn't respond to his words, he glanced at Wan Qisheng, with pity in his eyes, and then left with Shen Yin, who is shameless, tomorrow will know.
Shen Yinqiu glanced up at Wan Qisheng and passed by him.
Wan Jisheng didn't stop him, but grabbed Shen Yinqiu's arm, Shen Yinqiu let out a low cry, her poor right hand! Why such a tragedy!
Wan Jisheng only then remembered, and quickly let go, Wan Qiyan had already taken Shen Yinqiu to the other side, and repelled Wan Qisheng with one palm, his face was cold, "There will be a next time, even if it is you, I will not be polite!" ”
Wan Qisheng clutched his chest, and spit out a mouthful of blood, and he quickly explained loudly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Of course, this apology was not said to Wan Qiyan.
Wan Qiyan took Shen Yinqiu and continued to walk forward without looking back.
Wan Jisheng was a little annoyed and said, "It seems that you have been polite to me!" "The fear that almost killed him as a child remains in his mind to this day.
Until he watched Wan Qiyan take Shen Yinqiu into Chang'an Courtyard, he didn't get a response from the other party.
Wan Qisheng was full of anger, checked that the injury on his chest was not serious, and walked slowly back to his yard in a lonely manner, he had been waiting for a full hour on this road before they came back.
As soon as Wan Qiyan returned to the house, he wanted to check Shen Yinqiu's injuries, and Shen Yinqiu let him check them, explaining: "There is no big problem, he just touched it lightly, without force, and did not directly touch the wound." Not to mention the splints. ”
Wan Qiyan did not have any redness and swelling around her, so he bandaged her again.
Shen Yinqiu glanced at his silent appearance, and then looked at Wan Tong, who didn't dare to make eye contact with Shen Yinqiu.
She thought, maybe Wan Jisheng's words just now were a little too much?
Wan Tong retreated very acquaintedly, leaving Wan Qiyan and Shen Yinqiu alone.
"You...... Angry? Shen Yinqiu looked at him a little cautiously, his tone full of temptation.
Wan Qiyan looked up, saw her demeanor and shook his head, "You don't have to talk to me like this, I'm not angry." ”
Shen Yinqiu nodded obediently on the surface, thinking about it in his heart, and he didn't look like he was lifeless.
"When I was eight years old." Wan Qiyan knew that she didn't believe it, if she didn't say it, the little brain would probably keep thinking about something and not.
Shen Yinqiu immediately raised his head, waiting for him to go down and say, what's wrong with being eight years old?
