Chapter 30: Catch the Big Fish
After so many things have happened, Yin Shangyu's birthday is finally ushered in. On this day, after retiring from the morning court, the palace began to be lively.
The things that were sent into the palace by car made Xuan Mo's eyes light up. Acting alone, the whirlwind desert is like a lonely ghost, wandering ethereal in the palace, heading straight for the location of those rare treasures.
When there are more people, the number of guards will naturally increase. Everyone is busy with their own affairs, so people like Shen Yunyou, Bai Moyan and Yang Boxiang are a bit redundant. They don't have to run errands for their masters, and they don't have to accompany smiling faces to be polite to those officials. Yin Limo left early in the morning to find Queen Du Cen Xiang, and Shen Yunyou stayed in her bedroom, and only after Qiu Shenghan entered the palace did she find something to do.
But if others can't notice them, it doesn't mean that Wen Zimo is the same. Wen Zimo, who already knew Shen Yunyou's true identity, deliberately sent a few people to secretly monitor Shen Yunyou, for fear that she and Ye Zixuan would have some strange actions today.
As soon as Qiu Shenghan saw Shen Yunyou, his face fell. Shen Yunyou was sitting there chatting with Bai Moyan, and after seeing such Qiu Shenghan, Shen Yunyou teased: "What is Brother Qiu doing early in the morning?" Who owes you the money and doesn't pay it back or what? ”
"I'm embarrassed to say that." Qiu Shenghan put the piano aside, and talked about Wen Zimo's search for himself. "How did you let Wen Zimo know your identity?"
Wen Zimo regarded Qiu Shenghan as Shen Yunyou's comrade, although it was actually like this. Qiu Shenghan was interrogated by Wen Zimo for a full hour, and finally found a reason to fool Wen Zimo away, but his sleep was insufficient.
"If you want him to know, you'll know." Shen Yunyou acted very indifferent, "What did he tell you?" ”
"What else can you ask but what purpose I am." Qiu Shenghan began to talk to Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan about what happened as if venting, but unfortunately Shen Yunyou began to ignore him after listening to a few words.
"I've got something to go out for, you guys talk." Shen Yunyou walked to the bronze mirror and pulled up her long hair, and left without telling the two of them what she was going to do.
Shen Yunyou walked out of the room and soon found the guards who were following him. With a cold smile, Shen Yunyou threw them off effortlessly. After tossing and turning, the footsteps slowly stopped.
Shen Yunyou saw Xuan Mo, who was already waiting here, and signaled that he could do it. Xuan Mo disappeared, Shen Yunyou stayed in place and waited, when he heard that chaos began not far away, Shen Yunyou waved his sleeves and prepared to make a move.
The emperor's birthday is enough to make every servant guard in the palace tense and scramble. If another fire breaks out at this time, it will undoubtedly make matters worse. Since it's not winter, it's not uncommon for this season to catch fire. In front of the empty hall, the few guards looked at each other after hearing the sound of the gong, and they all looked at the place where the fire was burning.
Shen Yunyou took advantage of the moment when they were stunned and sneaked into the hall. Holding the heavy things in his hands, Shen Yunyou didn't dare to stay here too long, and quickly found the right time to return to the princess palace.
After Wen Zimo and the others lost Shen Yunyou, they hurriedly ran to find Wen Zimo in a panic. Wen Zimo was uneasy, and while sending people everywhere to find Shen Yunyou's whereabouts, he went to Yin Limo's residence himself.
Wen Zimo directly pushed the door open, and what he could see was that Shen Yunyou and Qiu Shenghan were bowing their heads and discussing something, while Bai Moyan was watching with a curious look on the side.
"General Wen, what's the matter?" Shen Yun looked at Wen Zimo with a smile in his eyes, and took the initiative to ask.
"Come out, I have something to ask you."
Wen Zimo's tone and expression made Shen Yunyou feel like he was a thief and was about to be interrogated by the "police". calmly agreed, and Shen Yunyou followed Wen Zimo out of the room. Leaning against the wall, Shen Yunyou clasped his hands to his chest and asked leisurely, "What's the matter?" Go ahead. ”
"What did you just do? Don't tell me you've been in this room and haven't gone out. ”
"It's up to the hut. However, when he found General Wen's men, he teased them on a whim and took them out for a walk. I said, General, do you have no one under you or do you look down on me? If you really want to spy on me, you'll have to find two decent ones, right? ”
Shen Yunyou's ridicule didn't make Wen Zimo react, Wen Zimo looked at Shen Yunyou expressionlessly, and asked what he had always wanted to ask her before. "Well, I'll believe you once. But you have to tell me, did you do the drugging of the officers and soldiers? ”
"General Wen." Shen Yunyou stood up straight and looked at Wen Zimo with a serious expression, very dissatisfied with him for using this attitude and talking to him like this. "Who am I? I am Princess Qi. Although we are not a country, you have to call me 'Princess' when you see me, right? Don't you think it's a little inappropriate for you to come to me so aggressively to ask me about your guilt without any evidence? You sent someone to spy on me, and I can think that you are worried about my safety and want to protect me. But now that you're asking me that, I don't understand, is this the attitude General Wen should have towards guests? ”
If it was in the past, Wen Zimo would definitely unceremoniously reprimand Shen Yunyou now, but unfortunately now he can't. Wen Zimo saw that Shen Yunyou couldn't ask anything here, so he planned to leave.
"Don't let me find out what's wrong with you."
"Is this threatening me, General?" Shen Yunyou smiled, "What should be done?" What not to do? Would you like to come into the house and give me a good talk? Anyway, I have to have something to do at night, and I'm idle during the day. ”
Wen Zimo snorted coldly, not wanting to continue wasting time with Shen Yunyou, so he turned around and left. But after a few steps, he heard Shen Yunyou speak mockingly behind him.
"Wen Zimo, if you want to be a good general, you have to understand when you should be a master and when you should be a grandson." Shen Yunyou deliberately stimulated Wen Zimo's emotions, "Not everyone with a bad temper can become a general. Not everyone with a bad temper can sit in this position of general for a long time. ”
"Thank you, Princess Qi."
Wen Zimo almost gritted his teeth and said these words, and Shen Yunyou waited for Wen Zimo to completely walk out of the courtyard before pushing the door into the house.
What he said just now, of course Qiu Shenghan and Bai Moyan in the room heard it. Qiu Shenghan looked at Shen Yunyou with a stiff expression and asked, "Is this preparing for war?" So should I go first? ”
Shen Yun glanced at Qiu Shenghan with a smile, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiu is too worried, this is a matter between me and him, and it can't involve you." ”
Is it really irrelevant? Qiu Shenghan asked himself secretly in his heart. It seems that something terrible is happening in a place that I don't know.
Since Ye Zixuan woke up, he has been entangled by all kinds of people. He called Pan Wenyu over and kept him with him. After waiting a little less, Ye Zixuan whispered to Pan Wenyu: "Did you see the guard with a sword in his left hand?" ”
Pan Wenyu looked back and nodded, "See, what's wrong?" ”
"You just follow him today, something may happen at night, he is my man and will keep you safe."
"Okay, I see." Pan Wenyu was specially chosen by Ye Mingchen, so he is not a person who panics at a loss when something happens. What's more, with Ye Zixuan by his side, he is more down-to-earth. It's just that for what Ye Zixuan said, what might happen at night, Pan Wenyu was faintly uneasy in his heart. didn't dare to ask the questions in his heart, Pan Wenyu knew that he couldn't ask either. Because saving your life is the most important thing.
After noon, the feast for the emperor's birthday had already begun. After Shen Yunyou dressed up, he followed Qiu Shenghan to the scene. Although he didn't know what Yin Shangyu meant, he did arrange seats for Shen Yunyou and Qiu Shenghan. This made the two people who were supposed to only show up at night and play a song, which was somewhat unexpected.
As soon as Shen Yunyou appeared, he attracted the attention of many people. With an indifferent expression, she glanced at everyone at the scene, and after Shen Yunyou took her seat, she sat there quietly, letting those eyes sweep around her unscrupulously.
Shen Yunyou, as one of the few women present, was also a little cautious in her appearance and dress. Casually tucking away a strand of long hair that had fallen down, Shen Yunyou raised his eyes slightly and smiled a little shyly, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
Ye Zixuan arrived early, and when he saw Shen Yunyou looking at Yin Shangyu over there with a smile, Ye Zixuan knew that Shen Yunyou was going to make a mistake.
Ye Zixuan smiled slightly, guessing in his heart what trick Shen Yunyou was going to play. He was concentrating, but he scared Pan Wenyu on the side.
Shen Yunyou smiled at the emperor just now, and everyone saw it. This prince is also smiling now, what's going on?
The people present all regarded Shen Yunyou as a drama in the rivers and lakes, and her appearance made those harem concubines secretly scold, and made those fat-headed and big-eared corrupt officials show evil light. also made Yin Shangyu's heart move.
Yin Shangyu had long taken a fancy to Shen Yunyou, and in the few words he had said to Shen Yunyou, he also expressed his meaning, but Shen Yunyou had been rejecting him. But now, in front of everyone's eyes, Shen Yunyou's meaningful smile at himself made the fire that had been extinguished in Yin Shangyu's heart have renewed hope.
