Chapter 227: Wooing Prime Minister Shen
As soon as Linglong woke up, she faced Prime Minister Shen's questioning, and at this time her mind was also confused, until the grandmother standing next to her explained the situation to her, she reacted violently, and pulled Prime Minister Shen Cheng in shock: "It's Zhu Jiu!" It was Zhu Jiu who knocked me unconscious, I saw her side face, although she walked fast, but she poisoned me, I am sure!"
Then, Linglong told Prime Minister Shen everything that happened that night.
After Prime Minister Shen learned that it was Zhu Jiu who did it, he was first shocked, then angry, and then stepped out of the room, telling people to be optimistic about Linglong, and no one was allowed to approach her except him.
Regardless of whether what Linglong said is true or not, she is now the only witness, even if this matter was not done by Zhu Jiu, it has something to do with her.
Just catch her and find out who is behind it!
However, Prime Minister Shen called the little maid out to call someone, and when he himself just passed by the wisteria flower corridor, he was blocked by a figure.
This person's sudden appearance in front of him did startle him, but Prime Minister Shen quickly calmed down and looked at her with a cold frown: "He Hongying?"
This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, He Hongying, an orphan daughter of the He family who was given marriage, didn't stay in the palace to marry at this time, what did she come to him for?
But thinking that it was this person who found his daughter's body, Prime Minister Shen reluctantly had a good face towards her, "Miss He, I have something important to do now, if you are okay, please get out of the way."
His words were polite, but there was a thin layer of anger in his eyes, and He Hongying's pink-faced peach blossom face had a soft smile on his face, "Why should the Prime Minister be in a hurry? When I look for you, I naturally want to stop you from doing stupid things."
"What?"
Prime Minister Shen's face changed slightly, he clenched his fists, and after a moment of thought flashed through his mind, he turned around and said, "Come to the study with me, you don't have to hide anything you have to say."
He Hongying actually knew that he was going to find Zhu Jiu?
In other words, how did Shen Xiuzhi die, He Hongying already knew?
But why did he only appear now, could it be that this person was sent by His Majesty to protect Zhu Jiu? Same as Luo Zheng?
Prime Minister Shen was suspicious in his heart, but whether it was ordered by Xuanyuan Che or not, he would not be so obedient this time.
It is a matter of his daughter's life and death revenge, and this revenge must be avenged by him as a father!
He Hongying looked at his back, but expected him to do this, so she was not in a hurry at all, and slowly paced to the study.
When he arrived in the study, Prime Minister Shen waved away a group of subordinates, and there were no guards outside before looking at the other party: "Say, what do you know?" Is Your Majesty asking you to stop me this time?"
He knew too little information now, and he didn't even know anything about the battle between the Black Soul Hall and Xuanyuan Che.
He Hongying just wants to do what He Nu said, and use this information difference to control Prime Minister Shen Cheng in his hands and become his own chess piece.
Prime Minister Shen is now in a high position, and he is the only person who has the ability to pry the imperial power, and she is afraid that she will not rely on him after entering the palace?
After entering the study, He Hongying didn't talk nonsense, poured a cup of tea, and sat down opposite Shen Cheng and said, "Everyone knows that Zhu Jiu is the person protected by His Majesty, so she dared to kill Miss Shen so unscrupulously, it's not a secret, Miss Shen went to see Zhu Jiu the day before the canonization ceremony, maybe this time, Zhu Jiu had murderous intentions towards her, but no matter what Miss Shen said to Zhu Jiu, Zhu Jiu's shot this time was too heavy."
"Prime Minister Shen If you want to deal with her, you can't come openly, if Your Majesty abandons her like a shoe, and wants to kill her, it's easy."
How can Prime Minister Shen not understand this truth? It's just that doing so is too risky, and he can't just take the whole clan into it in order to avenge his daughter.
After listening to He Hongying's words, Prime Minister Shen Cheng didn't rush to answer, but looked at her with a smile: "You came to me, what can you do for me?" Zhu Jiu is also your enemy."
"I just can't get used to my cousin being so fascinated by her, and I don't even want the world for her."
He Hongying sneered, her performance did not have the slightest flaw, and she did not reveal her true thoughts in her heart, but said to Shen Chengxiang: "Your purpose is to kill Zhu Jiu and avenge your daughter, and I just want to protect Your Majesty from being confused by her, Shen Chengxiang, you can do it."
From the wall, as long as I make a move on Zhu Jiu, you can cover up for me by Your Majesty's side."
Shen Xiuzhi went to see Zhu Jiu the day before the canonization ceremony, and Prime Minister Shen also knew about it, so he had long suspected Zhu Jiu in his heart, but there was no evidence.
Now listening to He Hongying's words, it is beneficial and harmless to cooperate with her.
The image of his daughter drowning flashed in his mind, Prime Minister Shen closed his eyes, clenched his fists deeply, and slowly put them on the table, "Okay! Just do as you say."
If there is Shen Cheng in the court, it is equivalent to getting the support of the family.
What the crane slave said was really right, to get close to Xuanyuan Che and Zhu Jiu, the only way to start was from the family, and only the family had the ability to threaten them.
He Hongying smiled with satisfaction, and after saying goodbye from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she went to the Taishi Mansion.
Taishi's Mansion is Li Chunyue's residence, Li Chunyue asked Xuanyuan Che for the marriage decree, he has a good impression of He Hongying, and He Hongying can see it.
When the doorkeeper saw that Miss He was coming, he invited her into the house to sit down, and when she learned that Li Chunyue was going to be busy until the evening before coming back, He Hongying smiled slightly, "It's okay, you guys go and get busy, don't take care of me, I'm here waiting for him to come back, I want to talk to him about something."
Seeing her say this, the little servants did not inform Li Chunyue, but stayed in the house to accompany her and wait.
At this time, the outer city.
When a white-clothed boy came out of the palace with a white-faced old slave, it was morning, and it was still early.
In the past, the inner city was much cleaner than the outer city, but this time, after the rebuilding of the outer city with the head of the household department, the floor of the outer city was also paved with floor tiles, which were very clean and heavy, and were not easy to step on.
The rebuilt house looks clean and tidy, and at a glance, the sky-gray tiles and whitewashed walls have a special Jiangnan charm, and these brick kilns seem to be fired by a new method, just looking at the thick walls makes people feel that the house is warm.
The people who came and went also volunteered to help the people of the household department to rebuild the streets.
Even the streets are lined with clean and tidy greenery, and at a glance, the environment is better than the inner city!
Wei Ruhai was a little surprised, "This ...... Isn't this outer city just a new look? It's better than our inner city!"
You know, this outer city is just a place where some ordinary people live, although His Majesty allocated funds to rebuild, but he didn't say what it would look like, who would have thought that the household department could make this place like a paradise?
After reacting, Wei Ruhai congratulated Xuanyuan Che with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Under your rule, the world is becoming more and more peaceful and prosperous! Presumably, when Wanbang comes to congratulate, it will also be refreshing......
Before he finished praising him, Xuanyuan Che had already noticed Zhu Jiu who was building the city wall over there, and he didn't know who he saw her with, talking and laughing, talking intimately, and suddenly frowned: "Who is the man in cloth?"
