Feeling the softness on Shi Yu's chest against his arm, Jing Heng trembled and opened his eyes suddenly.

Turning his head to look over, Shi Yu was sleeping soundly, obviously not intentionally.

Probably because he felt that something was stuck and not comfortable enough, Shi Yu moved.

Rubbing his arm softly, Jing Heng only felt that his entire arm was numb all of a sudden, and his breathing became a little heavier in an instant.

And Shi Yu's head deviated from the pillow and nested on his shoulder.

Breathing and smelling, Jing Heng's heart beat faster, only to feel that somewhere was about to move.

This posture was held stiffly for a while, and Jing Heng finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"The Emperor's ......"

Calling softly, seeing that Shi Yu didn't react, Jing Heng slowly pulled out his arm, ready to change his posture and hold the person into his arms.

But before he could stretch out his hand, Shi Yu turned over again and rolled directly to the other side of the bed.

There was nothing around him, Jing Heng's face froze, and finally the little emperor took the initiative to "throw himself into his arms" once, and it was over?

Jing Heng carefully observed Shi Yu, waiting for her to turn back again, and threw herself directly into his arms.

But this time, Shi Yu seemed to be completely asleep, lying there obediently and skillfully, without moving anymore.

Jing Heng was extremely helpless, hesitated for a while, moved into the bed, and stretched out his hand to take the initiative to take Shi Yu back into his arms.

However, just when he was about to meet Shi Yu, the other party seemed to have dreamed of something, trembled suddenly, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

Jing Heng quickly withdrew his hand like a thief.

Shi Yu turned his head quickly, frowning and looking at Jing Heng, "Overseer......"

Jing Heng's face stiffened slightly, "Just now Weichen was just ......"

"I dreamed of one thing just now, and the queen mother's 10,000 taels of gold haven't been given to me yet!"

Jing Heng: "......" So Nie Shiyu suddenly woke up, because he dreamed of the ten thousand taels of gold?

"Overseer, you quickly ask Qiushuang to send a message to the queen mother, just say how much you have first. By the way, tell her that the money is not in place, the secret cannot be kept, and I will not be blind to death! ”

Jing Heng: "......"

As he spoke, Shi Yu noticed that Jing Heng had slept in his original position at some point, and he had slept at the bottom of the bed.

"Overseer, why are you sleeping here......"

Shi Yu frowned and looked at Jing Heng, who was empty-hearted, but then heard Shi Yu suddenly say again.

"Overseer, when I see you, you are not honest in sleeping, rolling around, such a big bed, squeezing me into the corner!"

Jing Heng: "......"

In the end, in Shi Yu's dissatisfied gaze, Jing Heng reluctantly admitted the problem of rolling around in his sleep.

At the same time, Qiushuang was also sent by Shi Yu to Ci'an Hall to collect debts.

It's just that she avoided revealing her stuffing, and didn't indicate that Shi Yu asked her to go, but according to Shi Yu's instructions, she made up Lin Huaijin's threats and urging to fulfill her promise.

Empress Dowager Lin naturally couldn't take out 10,000 taels of gold for a while, and finally took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, sent someone to Hanguang Palace, and instructed Shi Yu to temporarily stabilize Lin Huaijin.

In this way, Shi Yu's private money, which was almost cleared, ushered in a bumper harvest again.

……

"Overseer, there is news from the Lin family, according to the intercepted information, the second prince's people will arrive within three days to discuss cooperation with Lin Zhenghong."

The next day, in the study, chasing clouds reported the news.

Jing Heng finished reading the folds spread out in front of him, and put down the pen unhurriedly.

"Over in the penal colony, can you confirm that?"

"Returning to the Governor, it has been confirmed, as early as a year ago, Nie Zhixuan had quietly left, and the second prince who is now serving hard labor in the penal colony is disguised."

"Heh, it seems that the Lord of the Governor underestimated him, and he still has this ability."

It may not be difficult to leave quietly, but it is not difficult to order someone to disguise, and no one has found and reported it for a year, which can only show that Nie Zhixuan has completely dealt with the officials and soldiers in charge of guarding.

Chasing Yun hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and spoke: "Overseer, there are some things that my subordinates don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Do you want to talk about the identity of the emperor, and it will be a big trouble next?"

"That's right." Chasing Yun nodded, "If it was in the past, no matter what the second prince secretly planned, he might not be able to defeat the Overseer after all." But the emperor who was supported by the overseer was actually a woman, and once this matter broke out, it would inevitably become the most powerful weapon for the second prince to attack the overseer. ”

Although the overseer didn't know that the emperor was a woman at first, and he was also kept in the dark, he didn't care whether the courtiers believed it or not. Even if they do, the results may not be much better.

The emperor's women dressed as men were not only to deceive the emperor, but also to deceive all the civil and military officials, as well as all the people of the Tianjin Dynasty.

Those courtiers may not be able to accept this at all, and at that time, not only the emperor, but also the overseer will become the target of public criticism.

Jing Heng looked at Chaiyun, "You have endured these words for a long time, haven't you?" ”

Chaiyun gritted his teeth, nodded and spoke: "Yes, the subordinates actually wanted to say it from the beginning, but the subordinates also knew that the emperor's weight in the heart of the overseer, and he was worried that if he said it, it would make the overseer feel that his subordinates had opinions on the emperor." ”

He didn't think the emperor had done anything wrong, after all, the matter of a woman dressing up as a man was not the emperor's will in the final analysis.

But he thinks so, it doesn't mean that the courtiers will think so, and even if everyone understands that the emperor has extenuating circumstances, it can't change the fact that he deceived everyone.

"And what do you think the Doge should do?" Jing Heng continued to look at Chasing Yun, and the look on his face made it impossible to distinguish emotions.

"The subordinates feel that the best way now is to let the emperor fake his death, live a new life under a different identity, and completely cover up this matter while this matter has not been exposed. And the Overseer, you can support new candidates for the throne in the Nie family's royal clan. ”

Otherwise, once the identity is revealed, if the overseer wants to support a new person to take the position, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the crowd.

And at that time, a mere charge of exile was nothing. The second prince is afraid that he will become the most suitable person to inherit the throne.

Jing Heng's eyes drooped slightly, "This method, this overlord has not thought about it. ”

Chasing Yun hurriedly spoke: "Overseer, then hurry up and ......"

"But, why should you let Nie Shiyu be incognito and not see the light?"

Chaiyun frowned, "But the Overseer, this matter needs to be resolved after all, and his subordinates feel that the emperor may not be willing to continue to be the emperor, and she may not be willing to fake her death." ”

"Even if you want to, it doesn't mean it's the best choice."

Jing Heng looked out the window, today is a rare sunny day in winter, the sun is shining, and everything is bathed in the warm sun.

"It is not she who has done wrong, she should stand openly and happily in the sun. Instead of worrying all day long, hiding and hiding it, I dare not see my old friends again for the rest of my life! ”
