Chapter 51: Shen Gongzi is missing
"Noon? Si Qi, why didn't you wake me up? Shen Xinyue asked suspiciously.
Si Qi pursed his lips, trying to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't suppress it, but instead held back his smile.
"Princess, it was the prince who ordered that no one should disturb the princess, and that the princess should be allowed to rest."
Shen Xinyue was relieved.
It turned out to be Huo Weilou's order, no wonder no one dared to come over to disturb her sleep, not even the sound of the maids and servants cleaning the yard was heard.
"Where is Huo Weilou now?"
Si Qi lowered his head and thought for a while: "If the guess is right, the prince should have just left the court at this time." Before the prince left the house, he said that he didn't have to wait for him for lunch. In the past, there were times when the prince usually couldn't get to the palace until the end of the day. ”
"Si Qi, you go and help me do something...... Shen Xinyue beckoned, motioned for Si Qi to come over, and then attached it to Si Qi's ear and whispered to her about his plans.
"Understood, it's just the princess, do we really want to do this?" Si Qi's expression was strange.
"Go, listen to me." Shen Xinyue smiled mysteriously.
Because the place she crossed over did not belong to any dynasty in history, and Shen Xinyue already had a deep understanding of food, she wanted to cook a modern dish for Huo Weilou to taste.
Soon, Si Qi prepared the materials that Shen Xinyue needed.
Shen Xinyue had lunch with the others, and then cooked for Huo Weilou in the kitchen.
Shen Xinyue is not a person who is very good at cooking, but she is better than a kitchen novice, and she can cook noodles and fry side dishes by herself when she is busy, so as to solve her own food and clothing.
Therefore, Shen Xinyue decided to make a tomato egg noodle for Huo Weilou. There is no dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in this place, so Si Qicai felt strange after Shen Xinyue said his thoughts.
In the kitchen, Si Qi helped Shen Xinyue.
"Princess, this ...... Will it really be delicious? "It's hard for Si Qi to believe what kind of thing these two things will be made when they are put together.
Shen Xinyue was mysterious, pursed her lips and smiled: "You will know after eating." ”
Shen Xinyue's movements were fast, and after a while, a bowl of hot tomato egg noodles came out of the pot.
In order to satisfy Si Qi's curiosity, Shen Xinyue deliberately made some more and let Si Qi taste it.
After eating, Si Qi's eyes lit up: "Princess, it's amazing, these two ingredients are stir-fried together, and they actually taste so good." ”
"Right? I think so too. Shen Xinyue was in a good mood and felt like she could eat a big bowl, even if she had just eaten lunch.
Huo Weilou returned to the palace at this time, Shen Xinyue took advantage of the fact that the meeting had just come out, and hurriedly brought it to Huo Weilou, which could be regarded as expressing her gratitude, after all, she remembered Huo Weilou's kindness to her these days. There was nothing to repay, so I could only make him a bowl of noodles to eat when Huo Weilou went home.
"What is this?" Huo Weilou saw the tomatoes and eggs in the bowl, and he also showed the same suspicious eyes as Si Qi.
Shen Xinyue handed the chopsticks to Huo Weilou: "Try it, I made it." Thank you for your protection during this time, and it just so happened that you didn't have lunch, so I made you a bowl of noodles. ”
Hearing that it was Shen Xinyue who cooked in person, Huo Weilou took a bite with the determination to die, but was shocked by the taste.
The imaginary difficulty in swallowing did not appear, and instead the sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes appeared.
"Is it delicious?" Shen Xinyue asked expectantly.
"It's delicious, I love it." Huo Weilou's eyes were full of tenderness.
Hearing Huo Weilou say that he liked it, Shen Xinyue's heart suddenly burst into joy.
Huo Weilou's original bad mood in the court became bright because of this bowl of noodles.
In the following days, Shen Fengjiao stayed quietly in the palace, and did not often go out to talk to Lan Qingruo, often locked herself in the courtyard, and occasionally went out, but also went outside the mansion.
Shen Xinyue was rarely idle.
There is no need to go out to meet those so-called big people, just stay in the palace and be a beautiful waste.
Shen Xinyue's life is particularly comfortable.
At the same time, Shen Xinyue didn't interfere much in Huo Weilou's affairs, but occasionally cooked, and let him eat hot when Huo Weilou didn't catch up with dinner.
Every time at this time, Si Qi would show an aunt smile on his face, and then joked: "The princess is cooking for the prince again?" The princess is so good to the prince. ”
And Shen Xinyue also used the same sentence to deal with Si Qi every time: "The prince has helped me a lot, I just cooperate with him for a win-win situation, although there is a marriage, but there is no marriage." ”
Si Qi didn't listen to Shen Xinyue's defense, and stubbornly thought that the prince and the princess were in love with each other, which was a match made in heaven.
And Shen Xinyue smiled and didn't take it to heart.
One day, afternoon.
The weather was sunny and the sun was just right.
Shen Xinyue was wearing a plain white dress and reading in Huo Weilou's study.
She wanted to learn more about the history and changes of the world.
Huo Weilou allowed Shen Xinyue to go in and out of his study to read the classics, but he didn't have much time to come to the study, and even if he came back, he still wrote approvals on the table.
I don't have time to read these books myself.
But this is cheaper than Shen Xinyue. On weekdays, she reads quietly by herself, and although someone sleeps here at night, she can take care of her regardless of time and place.
At this time, Shen Xinyue was watching the art of war and was concentrating.
Huo Weilou is dealing with the affairs of the court.
"Yue'er, these days, that Shen Fengjiao has been very abnormal, beware of what bad intentions she has." Huo Weilou suddenly remembered Shen Fengjiao and reminded him loudly.
Shen Xinyue was watching intently, Huo Weilou was talking to her, and she didn't react for a while.
"Ah what? Oh, you said Shen Fengjiao. Shen Xinyue put the book down, "I have already made it clear to her what should be said, as for what she wants to do, it has nothing to do with me." Now she will not be willing to do things for Lan Qingruo and them, now that she is not a demon, I am also happy. ”
Huo Weilou was very helpless, and his secret guard told him that Shen Fengjiao often went out of the house and met many young ladies from other families.
However, he looked at Shen Xinyue's indifferent appearance and sighed.
In terms of identity and status, Shen Fengjiao is completely inferior to Shen Xinyue, if Shen Fengjiao makes a trick, he can also protect Shen Xinyue.
That's it, since this is the case, he will keep an eye on Shen Xinyue more, if Shen Fengjiao really dares to deal with Shen Xinyue, he doesn't mind letting there be one less person in the capital quietly.
"Lord, princess, something is wrong!" At this moment, Si Qi ran over in a panic, and before the person arrived, the voice had already broken in one step ahead of the person.
Because the study is a place where Huo Weilou does not allow people to enter, therefore, Si Qi only dares to be at the door, and does not dare to step in without Huo Weilou's order.
"Come in and tell me, what's the matter?"
As soon as Si Qi entered the study, tears rushed out.
"Lord, princess, Shen Gongzi disappeared when he came to the capital!"
Huo Weilou frowned, a little puzzled: "Shen Gongzi? ”
Song Ruyu told Shen Xinyue that when Shen Wangchi was going to come to the capital to do business, Huo Weilou was not present, so Huo Weilou did not know.
Shen Xinyue stood up suddenly: "My brother is missing?" ”
Today was originally the day when Shen Wangchi arrived in the capital, and Shen Xinyue asked Si Qi to pick up people early, but Si Qi waited for a long time and never saw Shen Wangchi, so she went out of the capital and went outside the city to greet her.
As a result, the carriage of Shen Wangchi and several people was found in the woods on the outskirts of the city, and the people were gone!
Si Qi heard people passing by saying that there was a group of robbers in the vicinity just now, and it was likely that they were robbed by the robbers.
Si Qi hurriedly returned to the palace and told Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue about the incident.
"Robbers?! The security in the capital is so good, how can there be robbers? Shen Xinyue shook her head and did not accept this statement.
"Si Qi, hurry! Bring someone to find it! My brother can't have an accident! Be sure to get people back! Shen Xinyue's eyes turned red instantly.
Shen Wangchi, like Song Ruyu, is the only person in the Shen Mansion who is good to her. What's more, Shen Wangchi was assassinated and broke his legs, if he was taken away by the robbers, how long would he live?
Thinking of this, Shen Xinyue became even more anxious, she couldn't accept Shen Wangchi dying here!
That's a person who is good to the original body, she wants to repay Shen Wangchi for the original body, how can she let people die here!
After Huo Weilou listened to Si Qi's words, he always felt that this matter was not simple.
The affairs of the capital are under his control, and his secret guards and eyeliner are all over the capital.
If there was really such a group of robbers on the outskirts of the city, Huo Weilou couldn't have been unaware!
I am afraid that someone is behind this, and Shen Wangchi is just an innocent person who strayed in.
So what about it...... Is the person behind the scenes targeting him Huo Weilou, or Shen Xinyue?
Huo Weilou fell into deep thought, he had to find out this person, whether it was for the stability of his power, or Shen Xinyue's safety, and the safety of the people she cared about, he had to find out who was behind the scenes as soon as possible.
"Si Qi, let's talk about it in more detail, no matter how big or small, I'll say it all."
"Yes, lord." Si Qi nodded.
"The princess told the slave yesterday that her brother will arrive in the capital today, and let the slave and maid wait at the city gate this morning and pick up Shen Gongzi."
The slave maid left the house at dawn and waited at the gate of the city for a few hours, but she did not see Shen Gongzi enter the city. The slave maid wanted to go out of the city and go to the suburbs to meet Shen Gongzi. ”
"But when the slave maid went out of the city, she saw Shen Gongzi's carriage in the woods on the outskirts, and the slave maid thought that Shen Gongzi was nearby, so she tried to shout a few times, but she didn't get a response for a long time."
At this time, a man passed by, and saw that the slave and maid were looking for someone, so they told the slave and maid that there were robbers in the vicinity just now, and told the slave and maid to hurry into the city, so as not to be poisoned. He also told the slave and maid that most of the people in this carriage had been taken away by robbers, and I was afraid that they would ......."
Speaking of this, Si Qi paused for a moment, and then continued: "The slave and maid hurriedly ran back to the house and reported this time to the princess. ”
Shen Xinyue's face was pale: "How can there be robbers......
Huo Weilou frowned, and carefully considered what Si Qi said, "The capital is safe, there is no possibility that there will be robbers, and I have not received any news." ”
Hearing Huo Weilou's words, Shen Xinyue's sanity gradually returned, and her heart calmed down.
Indeed, if there is really such a group of people, will Huo Weilou not know about it? He is the regent of the government and the opposition, how can he not know about the big and small things in the capital?
"Yue'er, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Huo Weilou squeezed Shen Xinyue's shoulder soothingly.
"But Wei Lou, that's my brother, my brother with the same father and mother, how can I rest assured? Can you take me with you when you go to check? I'm going to protect myself. Shen Xinyue drooped, like an injured cat.
"If there is such a group, you will probably be a target for them." Huo Weilou didn't say more, he knew that Shen Xinyue would understand what he meant.
Shen Xinyue is a female streamer and is the best person to start.
