Chapter 437: Half a Day's Leisure

Shen Baiyu smiled gently.

"What's going on, would you mind telling me about it?"

Shangguan Li originally didn't intend to say these things, but looking at Shen Baiyu's sincere and unpretentious tenderness and concern.

She sighed inwardly.

It's much more pleasing to the eye than Feng Sibei.

She nodded her chin.

"It's nothing more than those recent things in the court, I guess you've heard about it, Brother Shen."

Shen Baiyu nodded.

"Recently, the name of the county lord of Shaoyang has been known to everyone."

"It's not a good word, is it?"

"Uh, this ......"

"It doesn't matter."

Shangguan Li waved his hand in an indifferent tone.

"It's just a false name, you can earn it again."

Shen Baiyu thought for a moment and asked.

"I heard that the emperor intended to give you Longen to the county lord before, but listening to your tone just now, it doesn't seem to be the case."

"Brother Shen thinks that the emperor really wants to bring that legendary grace that has not been seen for a thousand years on me?"

Shangguan Li's gaze drifted to the clear sky outside the huge window, but he thought that his temples also had eyes, and he fell casually.

"If this is the case, why is there no trace of the relevant ceremonial costumes and the golden seal treasure book, but only a sentence is mentioned in the holy decree?"

Shen Baiyu pinched Bai Zi and groaned for a moment.

"What does the county lord mean is that this holy decree itself is just a trap for the county lord?"

"Well, it's not a trap, it should be a conspiracy."

Shangguan Li's tone was neither salty nor light.

"After all, who would dare to disobey the Holy Decree?"

After a pause, she said slowly.

"With this holy decree, the emperor has at least two benefits. First, the reason why he nodded and asked Gao Yong to start investigating Shangguan Xun's case again was to suppress the turbulent public sentiment brought about by the news of King Zhenbei's death at this time. ”

"Now in this situation, do you think there are still a few people in the capital talking about things related to Xuanyuan Night?"

Shen Baiyu nodded.

"Build momentum."

Shangguan Li continued.

"Second, I once bumped into the emperor in the palace before, and now the emperor has pushed me from behind the scenes to the forefront with two holy decrees. And the revocation of the decree of the previous ordination was my own request. ”

"The emperor has won the name of benevolence, and his prestige has not fallen at all. He also took advantage of this incident to inflict the necessary punishment on me. How many birds are killed with one stone? ”

She hooked the corners of her mouth.

"Brother Shen, it's your turn to fall."

"Huh? Oh. ”

Only then did Shen Baiyu react and put his attention back on the chessboard, but after looking at it for a long time, he still raised his head again and asked worriedly.

"Is the county lord okay now?"

"Poof."

Shangguan Li looked at him with a worried look, and felt that the last bit of depression in his heart had dispersed.

"Of course it's fine, if something happens, will I come here for tea with you? Imperial power, in the final analysis, the people who will really be trapped by it are the people who are for power in their hearts. I'm just trying to follow my heart, and these methods don't work for me. ”

Whether she wanted to leave the palace at the beginning, or she wanted to continue her plan now to become the target of public criticism, it was because she wanted to do it, so she did it.

No matter how many means the emperor has, she doesn't care, as long as it doesn't threaten her life for the time being, how can she care so much?

When Shen Baiyu saw her say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and simply pushed the chessboard away.

"So what are you going to do next, do you need my help?"

"Brother Shen can listen to me so much, it is already a great help."

Shangguan Li shook his head.

"This matter is too deeply involved in the government and politics, and it is not appropriate for Thirteen Incense to get involved."

"But ......"

"Don't you believe me?"

Shangguan Li blocked the thousand words behind Shen Baiyu with one sentence, how could he not believe Shangguan Li, the woman who always surprises people.

"I have been hiding in the palace in accordance with the conjecture of the people in the court for the past few days, the time is almost up, and in two days, I can start the next step."

Although Shen Baiyu didn't know what her next move was, seeing her confident appearance, he also stretched his eyebrows.

"The county lord is really a heroine among women."

Shangguan Li grinned.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be...... That's right. ”

She asked suddenly, as if she remembered something.

"Brother Shen, aren't you curious if the news of King Zhenbei's death is true or false?"

Shen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"I was worried before the county lord came, but now, I'm basically relieved."

"Why is that?"

Shen Baiyu looked at her slightly puzzled appearance and said with a smile.

"The relationship between the county lord and the prince is so good, if something really happens to the prince, of course I can see it."

Good relationship?

Shangguan Li subconsciously looked away, but as soon as she moved away a little, she reacted. That doesn't seem to be true.

She and Xuanyuan Ye have been friends for many times.

Since she came into this world, think about it, most of the dangers she has encountered are big and small enough to be fatal, and she has spent it with him.

Although there are many cases of being cheated by him.

Thinking about it like this, she didn't refute it.

"Well, Brother Shen is really careful, but now ......"

"I know."

Seeing that she did not deny that the two had a good relationship, Shen Baiyu's eyes darkened slightly, but then he was immediately covered up by himself, and he said seriously.

"I'm not going to talk nonsense until it's clear."

Shangguan Li nodded, drank another cup of tea, and saw that it was getting late.

"Stealing half a day of leisure, although this thirteen incense is my place now, this private room is very different."

Shen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, and saw that Shangguan Li had already stood up, and a few stars were faintly hanging in the sky, and the afterglow of the sunset was inclined in like flowing water, giving her a warm halo.

She jumped lightly onto the lattice and smiled back.

"It feels good to say all this, thank you Brother Shen, see you next time."

After saying that, he touched his toes lightly on the window lattice, and flew into the glow of the sky.

Shen Baiyu sat in place and sat for a long time before he said something to the air in hindsight.

"You're welcome."

The voice quickly melted into the wind, and no one heard it but himself.

The next day, Shangguan Li entered the palace again.

She was received by Grandpa Gao.

"The county lord, please take a seat, although the scenery of Liuhui Hall is unique, but it is indeed deserted, please wait for a while, Your Majesty has already sent a message, and you will come after the next court."

Shangguan Li had a decent smile on his face.

"The internal officials don't have to be busy, just rest."

"Huh."

Gao Gonggong answered, shaking Fuchen and standing behind the table. Although the two were relatively speechless, he couldn't help but look at Shangguan Li a few more times.

The woman sat there with her chin propped up, looking into the distance, quietly.
