Chapter 72: See the Prince
Xue Nuo's way back was very smooth, and after going through the corner door in the dark, he quietly returned to Flynn Courtyard.
Carefully put away the things given by Ning Jingshui, but she didn't fall asleep immediately, but sat on the chair and thought about the news she got from Qiu Changqing and the others tonight.
There are princes, there are Shen families, there are changes in the court over the years, and there is that mysterious Gu carving......
As her fingertips twisted lightly, she secretly wondered in her heart who the Gu Eagle was, thinking about what she was going to do next.
When she didn't know that it was getting brighter, she heard the sound of Shen Qi getting up and walking around in the courtyard next door, so she came out of the house and stood in front of the weeping flower door and looked over there.
"Arnold?"
Shen changed his official clothes and came out of the house, and saw the children guarding the courtyard gate under the still dim sky.
It seemed that he hadn't slept all night, Xue Nuo's eyes were a little blue, and his eyes were also a little red and swollen, with some bloodshot in them.
Shen Ke's expression was slightly gloomy: "You haven't slept all night?" ”
Xue Nuo pursed his lips and didn't respond, but opened his mouth and whispered: Childe, there is something I want to ask you. ”
"You say."
"Will Chai Chunhua be interrogated in court after returning to Beijing?"
Shen thought for a while: "It should be, although he was brought back to the capital on the charge of capturing people's daughters and collecting thin horses, it involved the luck of Hu's private salt." ”
"Someone found out that his acquaintance with Hu Rong was done by him on purpose, and before that, he had also colluded with local salt merchants to privately explore the illegal salt road in the name of collecting thin horses, and this alone was enough for him to be tried in court with the Caoyun smuggling salt case."
Xue Nuo raised his head: "Then on the day of his trial, can I go and see it?" ”
Seeing that Shen hesitated and didn't reply to her, she whispered,
"I know I can't move Chengguo Gong and them, but my sister can't die in vain."
Shen saw that the child was thin, and his eyes were red when he looked at him, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Even if he knew that the Chengguo Mansion was the most important thing in the overall situation, how could he not know that the Chengguo Mansion and the three princes behind Chai Chunhua were the culprits, if there was no indulgence from them, how could Chai Chunhua dare to be so presumptuous to kidnap people at will in Jiangnan?
He felt guilty, but he still refused,
"The smuggling salt case involves the prince and is widely implicated, and the DPRK and China will not hold a court for people to observe."
"Almost all of the people who were able to go on the day of the court trial were people related to this case, you had already taken the account book with me in Qizhen, and you had been in and out of the Hu family, if you follow me again, it will definitely attract attention, and it is not a good thing for you."
Although Shen Ke's voice was gentle, what he said could not be refused,
"I can't take you there on the day of the court trial, otherwise you will fall into the eyes of people with a heart, and it will be difficult to move an inch in Beijing in the future."
offended the two princes, and also had a grudge against the Chengguo Mansion, and it involved in the snatching of the account books, he still had to be targeted by everyone, not to mention Xue Nuo, he couldn't let Xue Nuo take the risk, but after his voice fell, he said,
"Although I can't take you there, I promise you that I will never let Chai Chunhua escape."
Xue Nuo looked depressed for a moment before he said, "Then can I wait for Childe outside the lobby?" ”
Shen was stunned.
"I want to know the results of the trial as soon as possible."
Shen didn't have a reason not to agree to her, especially when she first proposed to go to the court and had been rejected, just waiting outside for the result was nothing, and sure enough, he nodded and agreed without thinking too much: "Yes." ”
Jiang Cheng next to him glanced at the sky: "Childe, it's time to go, otherwise you won't be able to catch up." ”
Shen Ke said to Xue Nuo: "It's still early, you go back and sleep for a while, I have to go to the Hanlin Academy." ”
He left Beijing for a few months, and after returning to Beijing, he recuperated from his injuries for a few days, and today was only the first day to go to the Hanlin Academy, so it was not too late.
Xue Nuo nodded and retreated: "Be careful on the road. ”
After Shen led Jiang Cheng away, Baopu on the side stepped forward, he was thin and small, but he was capable, and stepped forward and said to Xue Nuo: "Arnold, don't be sad, although you can't go to the court trial, but there is a son, and you will never spare that Chai Chunhua." ”
Xue Nuo said "um", she was not interested in the court trial, and she also knew that it was a matter of fortune, and the palace would never let unrelated people listen, she knew that she would be rejected before she made that request, but she just wanted to retreat and let Shen take her over.
Emperor Tianqing asked the prince to preside over the trial of the private salt case, and everyone related to it would be present on the day of the trial, she just wanted to find a chance to meet the prince.
She originally didn't want to be involved with the prince, but after seeing Ning Jingshui, knowing what the prince had done over the years, she suddenly changed her mind, maybe she could find more help for her mother's affairs, although she didn't know what the prince was thinking in her heart, but many of the things she wanted to do next couldn't get around the prince.
Since she can't get around, it's better to meet him earlier, but Shen is the bridge that allows her to see the prince without being suspicious.
After accepting a few comforts from Hug Pu, Xue Nuo returned to the hospital.
After going to bed and sleeping until dawn, when I woke up again, I heard someone chattering outside, like Shuangrui was talking to someone, and when she got dressed and went out, she saw Shuangrui hiding behind the room with a person in a blue linen cloth and gossiping.
When I got closer, I listened to the unfamiliar human: "...... I also think the eldest lady has a bad temper. ”
"Don't you know, the second lady wanted to say the son of the Zhao family for the eldest lady before, but the third girl of the Xie family took a fancy to her, and the second lady asked her to send a post to Mrs. Zhao, but she was directly rejected by others.
"The second lady was so angry that she smashed the dishes and smashed the bowls, and she had a fight with the second master last night, and the eldest lady also cried and said that she had lost face and didn't even go to the clan school."
Shuangrui's eyes widened slightly: "Which son of the Zhao family?" ”
"Who else, who else can make the second lady hold on to the capital city, who else can there be besides the one in the Anguo Mansion?"
That's the eldest princess's grandson, the son of the Anguo Mansion.
After speaking, the man looked at Shuangrui with envy,
"It's still good that you kid, you can actually be selected by the eldest prince to enter the Flynn Academy, although the service is an inconspicuous one, but it's better than those of us who do rough work, by the way, I heard that the little boy is very good-looking, isn't it true?"
Shuangrui nodded: "It's very good." "In terms of appearance alone, he has never seen anyone who looks better than Xerno.
"What about the others?"
"It's pretty good, I speak kindly, and my temperament is soft, but I don't like to let others serve closely, and I am not allowed to keep vigil at night, even if I don't want to keep vigil at night, I saw him wash his own dirty clothes two days ago."
Shuangrui muttered, "You said that he has entered the Shen family as half a master, and he is still blessed and will not enjoy ......."
If he is left alone, someone is waiting, why do you still have to do such rough work by yourself.
