Chapter 20: The Princess of the Former Dynasty

The dark night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars.

Jiang Yu sat on the bed with her knees crossed, and across a screen, Shen Yanxi sat at the other end writing the case file.

They didn't seem to bother each other, but their attention was all on the other side of the screen.

Shen Yanxi's silhouette was reflected on the screen by candlelight, Jiang Yu stared at the shaking pen, and her gaze slowly went up.

Wrists, arm bends, shoulders, neck, Adam's apple, nose bridge, sideburns.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but reach out and land on the screen, tracing along the outline of the reflection little by little.

When she realized what she was doing, she hurriedly withdrew her hand.

"Cough cough cough ......" There was a coughing sound from the other side, and Shen Yanxi's physical condition didn't seem to be good these days.

Even worse, she could feel that Shen Yanxi was trying her best to endure it, not wanting her to find out.

"How are you? Let's find a Lang Zhong and take a look. ”

On the other side, Shen Yanxi covered the blood-stained handkerchief, "I've already seen it, it's not in the way." ”

Feeling Jiang Yu's silence, he chuckled a few times and forcibly endured the fishy sweetness in his throat. Tell her about what has happened in the past few days.

"Your two original brothers are back, if there is no epidemic this time, you should have gone to the capital in a few days to become an official and a half-job."

"Wang Fu has been looking for a day to be grounded, and there is not even a ceremony."

Jiang Yu listened quietly.

"Your little man is here, do you want him in?"

"Lou Remnant Snow?"

"Hmm."

Jiang Yu laughed a few times: "My subordinates will go back and forth to me, and my affairs will also pass through you." ”

Without waiting for Shen Yanxi to explain, he said, "Let him come in, just say it outside the screen." ”

"Okay."

At this time, Qiang Ji was standing above the eaves with his hands folded, looking at the remnants of the building opposite.

A whistle order came, and Qiang Ji instantly lost the provocative look he had just now: "You go in." ”

Lou Canxue ignored Qiang's unpredictable expression from beginning to end.

As Lou Yanxue pushed open the door and walked in, Shen Yanxi got up and walked out the door.

Hearing the wrong footsteps, Jiang Yu said loudly: "You stay." ”

Shen Yanxi stopped instantly, turned around and sat down again in front of the bookcase.

Jiang Yu said: "Say it, find out something." “

Lou Canxue got the instructions and said: "There is nothing wrong with that little beggar, it's just a simple riot/chaos, and there will be more and more such things in the future, the epidemic in Huaizhou City has become more and more serious, and it has begun to break out on a large scale." ”

"I went on to dig deeper, and there was someone behind the scenes. At present, it should be an organization, but it excludes Yaolou. ”

"Although the stronghold of Yaolou in Huaizhou was destroyed by the prince, there is no movement in Yaolou's stronghold in other cities."

After listening for a long time, Jiang Yu spoke: "It should be the fox mask woman, go to check the little princess of the Ye royal family in the previous dynasty." ”

In the previous dynasty, the Ye family only had a princess born to the emperor in his later years, and the others were all princes.

This is easy to explore, but it has become a disaster today without cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

"The first emperor is not such a soft-hearted person." Shen Yanxi suddenly said loudly.

He refers to Jiang Yu's father.

The ruthless character who overthrew the Ye dynasty and fought his way out of the encirclement in a group of rebellious ministers and thieves.

"So she must have slipped through the net back then."

Jiang Yu fell into deep thought.

Lou Yanxue took the order, and there were two breaths left in the room again.

"What are you thinking?" Shen Yanxi said.

Jiang Yu said: "I didn't think about anything, let's rest early." ”

Shen Yanxi said: "If you don't say it, I know." ”

"Oh? Guess what. Jiang Yu was surprised by Shen Yanxi's inexplicable confidence.

Shen Yanxi began to narrate: "The times are constantly changing, no one is the master of the country, but to a certain extent, he is the victim of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. ”

Jiang Yu really didn't expect him to understand it like this.

Then Shen Yanxi continued to affirm: "You are pitying him." ”

Jiang Yu suddenly raised her head and wanted to see through Shen Yanxi through the screen.

Yes, she did pity the woman in the fox mask, even if she fell now, even if she was disfigured by that woman.

She still felt compassion for the woman.

Or from another point of view, they are people with the same fate, what can the princess do, what can the eldest princess do.

What about the down-and-out princess?

Ye Meisheng leaned gracefully on the couch, and a servant girl kneeling next to her hammered her legs.

There was a plate of round and plump grapes on the table at hand, and she pinched them one by one with her slender jade hand and put them in her mouth.

Seeing that it was not early, the maidservant said: "Miss Ye, I will marry the prince in a few days, let's rest early these days." Nourish your complexion. ”

Ye Meisheng glanced at the maidservant with a lazy expression: "What?" Do you think my complexion is bad? ”

The maidservant hurriedly lowered her head and said, "No, no, the girl's appearance is amazing, and she must be excellent." ”

Ye Meisheng said disdainfully: "Don't think I don't know you, but I was sent to spy on me, do you see any other signs of me?" ”

This time, the maid was even more frightened, and she didn't continue to beat her legs, so she hurriedly knelt down in front of Ye Meisheng and kowtowed a few times.

"Girl Mingjian, although I was sent, I didn't get out of the news."

Ye Meisheng straightened her waist, looked down at the servant, and said, "Of course I know, you haven't had time to spread any news yet, otherwise do you think you can still talk to me now?" ”

"You want to know who your current master is? I could have left you without you, but since I'm keeping you around, I'm not causing trouble for myself. ”

"The slave understands."

Well, it's not the first time she's married. It's as boring as a big girl getting on a sedan chair.

She remembered the banquet that Xiao Shizi took her to a few days ago. Ran into that guy again.

She's a liar.

Specializes in deceiving people's feelings to gain power and money.

Every time I end up either playing missing or faking death to get out, but the last time I met such an unusual person.

She regretted it, to be precise, she fell in love with that man.

Such pure and fiery feelings are rare in this world.

She faked her death again. It's just the only time, not because the boy has no use value, but because she decided not to use him anymore.

She couldn't help but get the man into the storm, and she wanted him to get out.

But when they met again at that banquet a few days ago, the man knew she wasn't dead. Instead, he turned around and married someone else.

She was a liar in the man's mind.

Ye Meisheng was gloomy.

She couldn't stop, she couldn't help it.

Maybe one day, when they are victorious, they will be fine.

He doesn't resent her, maybe they can still be happily together.

can know that all this is extravagant hope, Ye Meisheng, knowing how difficult the road he has taken is, but he must come to this point, and he must not admit defeat.

The late summer night gets hard.

In the study, Shen Yanxi swallowed a bowl of medicine violently.

Qiang Ji looked at it distressedly on the side, his eyes were red: "Master, why do you want to test the medicine yourself?" We can do that too. ”

Shen Yanxi endured the cough that was about to come out: "I'm punishing myself, I shouldn't have left her alone in the cave." Otherwise, nothing like this would have happened. ”

"Master, you were also afraid that the exit would be in danger. How can it all be counted on your head? Don't get along with yourself, the girl will be fine then, your own body will collapse first. ”

"I'm fine, I could have taken her with me at that time, I really hated me at that time."

Qiang said: "Master, you also have to take care of your body." I'm going to protect the girl in the future. ”

"I understand."

After Qiang Ji retreated, Shen Yanxi came to Jiang Yu's door, he looked at the door and fell into thought, so he stayed in the courtyard.

Why do I always go wrong no matter what? Didn't take good care of you?

He looked down and suddenly saw a snow-white ball bouncing towards his feet.

It was actually the rabbit brought back from the Lantern Festival.

Shen Yanxi bent down and picked up the rabbit, "It's actually you?" ”

Qiang Ji specially picked it up, after all, it was Jiang Yu's rabbit, and he didn't dare to neglect it.

Shen Yanxi looked at the rabbit and recalled the past.

When I was a child, I went back with Jiang Yu, but I didn't actually want to serve her and protect her like he said.

His purpose was not pure in the beginning.

He and Ye Meisheng were an organization when they were young, specializing in deception.

He lurked in Xiao Jiang Yu's Huaizhou Courtyard, seeing that she had saved many people, but he didn't have any information.

So, after the death of Jiang Yu's mother, they ran away on the way back to Beijing.

He went to Lincheng and participated in the local conscription in Runing City.

He started as a small soldier and worked his way up to the position of a general, winning many battles.

Of course, he played a lot of strength in the battle for Jiang Yu's throne.

Secretly dredge up and ensure that her brother ascends to the throne.

She made the eldest princess with infinite scenery.

Everyone was afraid of it, and everyone didn't know what he was doing in it.

Above the court, everyone wanted to win him over. But no one knows which party he belongs to.

Next.

The information arrives, and the people sent by the capital to garrison Huaizhou City will arrive tomorrow.

The court had already allocated money and sent a physician to treat the people.

Shen Yanxi said to Jiang Yu through the screen: "There is another bad news, do you want to hear it?" ”

Jiang Yu said: "Tell me, I want to know the current situation." ”

"There is a famine and a great drought in Runing City."

Shen Yanxi's concise words said that Runing's current situation was dire.

"I should have thought about it a long time ago, why only Huaizhou City has something to do, Runing is inland, and it is the hot summer season. The great drought is even more deserved, and it seems that the world will not be peaceful again. ”

Jiang Yu said: "What does she want to do?" Does she want a country? But there is no need to gamble on the people of the whole country. If you are not careful, you are at risk of destroying the country. ”

"What if her purpose is to overthrow the dynasty and destroy the country?"

Jiang Yu's heart jumped suddenly when she said this, yes, Ye Meisheng's cognition is no less than herself.

can see through the face of this world, and she naturally knows.

I'm afraid that I have long been disheartened with this world and am going to drag everyone to hell together.

"She does have guts, better than her faint father who can only get drunk and dream to death, and spend all day drinking."
