Chapter 1: Jing Zhaoyi
Situ Liuyun didn't bring too many people into Ye Zixuan's courtyard, because she knew very well that Ye Zixuan didn't like to deal with people in the palace.
Shen Yunyou followed behind Situ Liuyun silently, looking at Situ Liuyun's happy expression when he found Ye Zixuan in the study, Shen Yunyou licked the corners of his lips and didn't say anything.
Ye Zixuan raised his head, and after seeing Situ Liuyun and the others, he frowned without a trace, then stood up, walked in front of Situ Liuyun from behind the desk, and said softly: "See the princess." ”
Situ Liuyun grinned, raised the holy decree in his hand, and said happily: "Father's holy decree." ”
Situ Liuyun's words made Ye Zixuan stunned, and he didn't reflect it immediately. I have been thinking about why the emperor asked Situ Liuyun to send him a holy decree. But in the eyes of others, Ye Zixuan, who was thinking, seemed to be unwilling to accept this holy decree.
"What are you thinking about standing stupidly! Didn't you hear the princess call you to take the order?! The maid beside Situ Liuyun, after seeing Ye Zixuan's expression, said disdainfully: "I really don't know what to do!" ”
"Smack!"
There was a crisp slap, and half of the maid's face immediately became red and swollen. Shen Yunyou stood aside, looking at Situ Liuyun, who had already slapped him angrily before Ye Zixuan could speak, and squinted his eyes. The force of this slap was so great that Shen Yun Youguang felt that it would definitely hurt when he looked at it. Not to mention the man who was beaten.
"What are you! Is there a place for you to speak? Situ Liuyun looked at the pair of palace maids who were disrespectful to Ye Zixuan with contempt, and slapped her with a backhand in anger. With a cold snort, Situ Liuyun said, "Come on, drag her out for me!" I don't want to see her again! ”
Situ Liuyun didn't give the maid any chance to plead for herself, so she ordered someone to take her out of sight. Shen Yunyou was angry when she saw this little princess for the first time, and couldn't help but smile, telling herself in her heart that in the future, you must be careful when you speak in front of this princess.
Situ Liuyun drove the rest of the people out of the room, leaving only Ye Zixuan, himself and Shen Yunyou. Without outsiders, Situ Liuyun no longer put on an imposing appearance. Looking at Ye Zixuan pitifully, Situ Liuyun said in a low voice with a bit of pleading: "I finally asked for this holy decree, and my father has agreed to give you a chance to prove that you are not that kind of person." So...... Take it. ”
Ye Zixuan looked at Situ Liuyun's red and swollen side face seriously, lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, just when Shen Yunyou thought that he would not accept the order, he silently accepted the things in Situ Liuyun's hand.
Situ Liuyun, who was overjoyed, immediately laughed happily. Then he turned to look at Shen Yunyou and said, "Yunyou, I still have to go back to the palace beforehand, I brought too many people today, and it is inconvenient to chat with you." Wait for me to find you in the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow! ”
"Okay......" Shen Yunyou nodded, and then watched Situ Liuyun leave. When only himself and Ye Zixuan were left in the room, Shen Yunyou suddenly had a question in his heart. What ......is Situ Liuyun pulling herself here for? In order to witness her third brother becoming an official? Or in order to let yourself come over, chat with this always alone Ye Zixuan to relieve boredom?
After Situ Liuyun left, Ye Zixuan silently opened the holy decree and glanced at it, and then returned to the desk as if nothing had happened, bowing his head and reading the book silently. Shen Yunyou couldn't help but be a little curious when he looked at him. Leaning against the wall with his hands on his chest, Shen Yunyou said softly, "I thought you would refuse." ”
"The emperor's holy decree, if you refuse, it means that you have to lose your head. I don't have the courage to disobey the emperor's will. Ye Zixuan answered Shen Yunyou's question without raising his head, and after a pause, he added. Moreover, there was no need to refuse the decree, and within two months, this official position would be removed by the emperor. ”
"Why?" Shen Yunyou asked suspiciously.
Ye Zixuan slowly raised his head, supported his side face with one hand, looked at Shen Yunyou and asked rhetorically, "Have you read the content of that holy decree?" ”
Shen Yunyou shook his head, and then at the suggestion of Ye Zixuan, he walked over and picked up the holy decree and looked at it seriously. After reading it, Shen Yunyou couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and felt that the emperor was unfair to Ye Zixuan.
The official position given by the emperor to Yezixuan is not anything else, but Jing Zhaoyi. This official position does not seem small in the eyes of others, and it is also a good errand. But...... The emperor's last sentence to Ye Zixuan made Shen Yunyou feel uncomfortable.
The emperor pointed out that there have been several murders in the capital recently, and the murderer has not been identified. He only gave Ye Zixuan two months to let Ye Zixuan investigate these murders thoroughly. If the murderer is not caught, then Jing Zhaoyi's official position will naturally be withdrawn.
Situ Liuyun must have not read the content of the holy decree, so he happily came to report the good news to Yezixuan. Shen Yunyou held the holy decree in his hand, looked at Ye Zixuan faintly, and was very curious in his heart, what happened between him and the emperor to make it difficult for a father to make things difficult for his son.
"I'll wait to see if you make the emperor speechless." Shen Yun walked slowly to the desk, returned the holy decree to him, and said softly: "As long as the case is solved, naturally no one will look down on you anymore." ”
"Do you think I can solve these murders?" Ye Zixuan looked at Shen Yunyou amusedly, and then lowered his head to look at the book.
"I didn't check it, so how did I know if I couldn't break it. Don't waste the princess's thoughts. Besides, I'll help you too. ”
"You?" Ye Zixuan raised his head funny, looked at Shen Yunyou, and asked, "How can you help me?" ”
His gaze swept over Shen Yunyou's neck, making the smile on Ye Zixuan's face disappear. After staring at Shen Yunyou's neck for a moment, Ye Zixuan continued to ask, "Hurt, okay?" ”
"Alright." Shen Yunyou smiled indifferently, then turned around and walked out the door. When he walked to the door, Shen Yunyou looked back at Ye Zixuan and said with a smile: "Don't let people look down on you anymore, this is a good opportunity." I'll come back to you tomorrow, and remember to get down to business, for the princess expects a lot from you. ”
After Shen Yunyou left, a cold light flashed in Ye Zixuan's eyes. Glancing at the holy decree brought by Situ Liuyun, Ye Zixuan smiled coldly.
Jing Zhaoyi. He really wanted to figure it out......
Shen Yunyou returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and sat in the room, thinking about everything that had just happened. Investigating ancient murders is indeed something that can make her feel interesting. However, where should she start to help Ye Zixuan and prevent others from discovering her skills?
In this weather, the corpse will decay after a few days of being stored in the post station. It's really a challenge to examine this kind of corpse.
Shen Yunyou was immersed in her own contemplation, until Xiu'er ran into the house in a panic and told her out of breath that Situ Rui had come to find her, that Shen Yunyou came back to his senses and stood up.
"Where is Lord Rui?" Shen Yunyou casually brushed his hair and asked.
"You should be coming to us, miss, did you do something to make the prince angry?" Xiu'er looked at Shen Yunyou nervously, guessing uneasily. Shen Yunyou couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this. Before he walked to the door to greet Situ Rui, he saw Situ Rui walking into his room with a black face.
"Shen Yunyou has seen the prince."
Situ Rui glanced at Shen Yunyou coldly, and then sent his entourage and Xiu'er out. Striding to the table and sitting down, Situ Rui stared at Shen Yunyou and said straight to the point: "Chu Yu is pregnant. ”
Shen Yunyou listened to Situ Rui's words, his eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth opened slightly. Walking to Situ Rui's side with a strange expression, Shen Yunyou asked tentatively, "Lord Wang...... Have you forgotten the emperor's words? ”
"This king has not forgotten and will not forget. I gave her the pills, the ones you went to the pharmacy to get for her. ”
After listening to Situ Rui's words, Shen Yunyou's expression changed. Serious Situ Rui, Shen Yunyou suddenly realized a wry smile, and then asked: "Lord Wang, you came to me today, you didn't come to Xingshi to ask about the crime, right?" Do you suspect that I have done something in that medicine? ”
"I never knew you were so smart." Situ Rui looked at Shen Yunyou with a gloomy expression and said. He originally came here to question Shen Yunyou, but what he didn't expect was that Shen Yunyou guessed it at once. Is she too smart, or is there a ghost in her heart, and she can't help but think of this?
"Lord Wang, Yun You, thank you for looking up to me so much!" Shen Yunyou smiled playfully, looked at Situ Rui with a solemn expression, and said, "I'm just going to help Miss Chu get medicine, and the owner of the pharmacy can testify for me." What can I do to make Miss Chu pregnant? How could I be that capable? How could you be so bold? I'm not smart, but your attitude and expression are too obvious. ”
"You can change the medicine halfway through."
"Why would I do that? Am I a madman or a fool? Lord, I haven't forgotten what I said to you, and I haven't forgotten that I am on your side. Since I promised to help you, I naturally won't harm you. Miss Chu is pregnant, and if it reaches the emperor's ears, she will definitely be angry. You and Miss Chu can't be together, will you let me go? I'm using my life guarantee to help you, how could I reach out and slap myself in the face and do such a thankless thing?! ”
Shen Yunyou finished speaking with some emotion, then sat there with a gloomy expression and stopped talking. And Situ Rui, who listened to her low roar, also frowned, and didn't make a sound for a long time.
