Chapter 5: A Safe Return

Previous Chapter

It was very easy on the way back to the city, Shen Yunyan used the jewelry on his body to change some silver coins and rented a carriage outside the city.

Yin Shiyan put some mustache on his mouth and disguised himself as a merchant from the Western Regions.

The queue at the pass back to Beijing was long, and the carriage stopped at every step.

Shen Yunyan pinched the corners of his clothes, and his palms were full of sweat.

The soldiers guarding the customs are holding a drawing and checking the passers.

The weather is hot, and this exotic clothing design is not suitable for the water and soil environment of the Central Plains.

After standing in the sun for a while, a layer of sweat had already appeared on Yin Shiyan's forehead.

Sweat trickled down his cheeks and eventually disappeared at the collar.

The soldier took the portrait in his hand and compared it back and forth with Yin Shiyan, and was about to let him go.

Yin Shiyan was holding the rope of the carriage, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped: "Wait! ”

"Who's in the car?" Another soldier of five big and three thick stepped forward.

"Cousin at home." Yin Shiyan bowed his head to show respect.

The man lifted the curtain and saw that Shen Yunyan's face was half-covered, and he opened his mouth to ask Shen Yunyan to take off his mask.

"The official understands the customs of the hometown, and a woman cannot show her true face if she is unmarried." Yin Shiyan approached the man as he spoke, and quietly handed over a few taels of silver to the man.

The man weighed the silver in his hand, and his eyes seemed to say, "You know each other." With a wave of his big hand, he motioned for the person behind him to let him go.

Yin Shiyan's eyes changed suddenly, he lowered his head to hide the discomfort in his heart, and was stopped when he opened his legs and was about to escape from this place.

"This brother, his beard is not well pasted."

The person who came came on foot, dressed in white, holding a bright yellow decree in his hand: "The decree has arrived!" ”

Outside the city, he suddenly knelt down, only Yin Shiyan stayed in place, and Shen Yunyan in the carriage didn't know why, so he had to stay in his seat and watch the changes.

When the man saw Yin Shiyan standing like this, he was not half annoyed, but happily recited the holy decree: "Feng, the heavens carry it, the emperor said." ”

"I don't read too many words, anyway, it's just a formality." The person who came handed the holy decree in his hand to Yin Shiyan: "Come back to the palace with me, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." ”

Yin Shiyan knew that he would return to the palace today, but he didn't expect this style to be so high-profile.

The man's eyes motioned to Yin Shiyan how to deal with the people in the carriage.

The corners of Yin Shiyan's mouth hooked up a vague smile: "This is a life-saving benefactor, and he is going to enter the palace to receive the reward." ”

Through the car curtain, Shen Yunyan didn't see the calculation in Yin Shiyan's eyes, but was clearly seen by Xu Shi'an, who came to pass the word.

Xu Shi'an looked like he was watching a play, he was now curious about who was in the car, who was it, who was so unlucky, and was targeted by the old fox Yin Shiyan.

Xu Shi'an and Yin Shiyan have known each other for a long time, and since Xu Changkong found Yin Shiyan, Xu Shi'an has been taught to help Yin Shiyan ascend to the throne.

Most of the courts are divided into three factions, one is headed by the prince, the other is headed by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, whose biological mother is the crown of the six palaces, and the rest is the neutral faction headed by Xu Changkong, the secretary of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of War.

The neutrality of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really neutral, and the neutrality of the Ministry of War is because there is no one in the court today who wants to be a team, and he himself chooses to cultivate a new force of his own.

And Yin Shiyan is the person he chooses to be loyal to.

Yin Shiyan had a green light all the way, and when he was taken to the palace, he was told that the emperor was still chatting with people in the imperial study, so he had to wait outside the door with Shen Yunyan.

Xu Shi'an, who led the way, had long disappeared at this time.

I don't know who is arguing in the imperial study, and as soon as Shen Yunyan heard the sound of porcelain shattering on his front foot, he saw his father come out of the imperial study.

Shen Xiang failed to find his daughter in one second, and the next second he saw his daughter appear in front of him intact.

The old father burst into tears.

Shen Yunyan had a thousand words to tell at the moment, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop crying: "Dad! ”

The father and daughter didn't have time to have a good greeting, and Shen Yunyan was summoned to meet him.

Yin Shiyan made a gesture towards Shen Xiang: "If Shen Xiang is not at ease, you can follow in." ”

I don't know what I experienced in it just now, Yin Shiyan continued to add: "Some things are still good for Shen Xiang himself to be present. ”

Shen Yunyan was a little confused.

As soon as Yin Shiyan entered, he felt a gaze that had been following him, and he resisted his curiosity and did not look up, but saluted in a proper manner.

Without half the joy of father and son meeting, Yin Shiyan just reported his recent experience, and then explained that he was rescued by Shen Yunyan, the daughter of the Prime Minister's house.

scolded the courtiers one second, and gave the courtier's daughter a reward the next second, the emperor can't say it in his heart at the moment, son, why did you make me so embarrassed as soon as you came back.

"The little daughter of the Shen family, what reward do you want?" The Emperor asked patiently in a gentle tone.

Shen Yunyan lowered his head, wanting to refuse, not so much that he saved Yin Shiyan, but that Yin Shiyan helped him escape, because it was obvious that the target of the first wave of assassination was himself, and the object of the second wave of rescue was Yin Shiyan.

"The Shen family has a daughter, her talent is amazing, she is full of country and city, she is not afraid of danger, and she is at the right age, so it is better for her father to give her a good relationship." Yin Shiyan sincerely suggested.

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Yin Shiyan meaningfully: "Then do you have someone to recommend?" ”

Before Shen Yunyan could react, Shen Xiang was anxious: "Okay, you yellow-headed boy, this abacus is clanging, don't you just want to marry my nanny?" It's such a big detour. ”

Yin Shiyan lowered his eyebrows and said: "Shen Xiang is smart, what Shen Xiang said is." ”

These words blocked Shen Xiang's anger and couldn't let it out, but as soon as he thought that he had entered the palace, his daughter married out for no reason, and his wife didn't know how to teach him a lesson when he went back.

He opened his mouth again, trying to make the reason for refusal more sufficient.

The emperor waved his hand: "Shen Xiang has a daughter, is very smart, and gives him the title of Changle County Lord and the fief of the mansion." ”

Shen Yunyan and Shen Xiangjun took a deep breath.

Yin Shiyan was not half annoyed, but was the first to kowtow: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”
