Chapter 35: The Thief Ship

The capital, Snow Chimen.

"Master, someone has sent a post inviting you to the banquet in the evening. A maid suddenly said outside Shen Ying's boudoir.

In the room, Shen Ying, who was sitting at the table thinking about something, stood up in shock, hurriedly opened the door, and asked, "Whose post is the prince's?"

"It was sent by the prince's people...... However, the signature on the post is Sima Youran. The maid said as she handed the invitation to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying hurriedly opened the post, and sure enough, she saw Sima Youran's signature.

Li Huanyu has not come to contact Shen Ying these days, and Shen Ying is also very anxious, now it seems that Li Huanyu was waiting for Sima to return to Beijing leisurely to make arrangements in person.

Although she only met Li Huanyu a few times, Shen Ying knew very well in her heart that this prince was not as simple as she imagined.

However, what really made the prince's enemies vigilant was always Sima Youran, who was beside the prince.

"Alright, send someone to reply, and I'll be on time for the banquet tonight. After Shen Ying gave instructions to the maid, she closed the door.

The little maid also wondered, didn't the master of her own house never go back to all kinds of banquets? Why did she go to the prince's banquet twice in a row? Could it be that something happened between the prince and her own master?

The current prince has not looked for a princess for so many years, is it because of his own master?

Shen Ying in the boudoir naturally didn't know what the little maid outside the door was thinking, since the last time Li Huanyu told her the cause of death of the previous master, there were many more things to think about in her mind, and she needed to make up her mind.

By now, Shen Ying already had a general direction.

......

Pick up the stars.

"You say, just blatantly inviting Shen Ying to come to the banquet, would it be a move to startle the snake?" Li Huanyu suddenly asked Sima leisurely.

Sima smiled leisurely and said: "Of course it will startle the snake, although the wedding date of the third prince is approaching, and the forces of all parties in the capital will not make any big moves, but there are still some stalkers." The last time you had a night meeting with Shen Ying, you should have been noticed by all the forces, and now that you have made an appointment to meet Shen Ying as soon as I come back, those forces will definitely think that we have formed an alliance with Xue Chimen. ”

Listening to Sima Youran's words, Li Huanyu smiled sinisterly and said, "I'll just say how could you make an appointment with Shen Ying so openly, it turned out that you were going to pull her directly onto our thief ship." ”

"We can't say that, if she doesn't mean to cooperate with us, it's useless for us to force her. Sima said calmly.

Li Huanyu smiled and changed the topic: "By the way, is it really okay for Chen Mingyu to go out for a walk alone?" After everyone left the Beining Palace, Chen Mingyu wanted to walk around the capital alone, Li Huanyu originally planned to send some people to follow him for the sake of Chen Mingyu's safety, but Sima Youran said that there was no need, just let Chen Mingyu come back early.

"Don't worry, although Mingyu did not stay in the palace of the king of Bac Ninh, the manpower of the king of Bac Ninh has already protected him secretly, and the king of Bac Ninh's methods are very clever. And Mingyu should just want to see the three properties that his Chen family has arranged in the capital, so there should be no problem. ”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and He Hai walked in and said to the two people in the room: "Shopkeeper, Sima Gongzi, the person sent to Xuechimen to deliver the post is back, and the Lord of the Shen Sect will come to the banquet on time." ”

"Well, that's fine, I'll go and order someone to prepare tonight's dishes first. With that, Li Huanyu got up and walked out with He Hai, while Sima Youran stayed in the room alone......

......

......

Ruilin Palace.

"Oh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made an appointment with the Lord of the Shen Sect to meet again?" Listening to the report of his subordinates, Li Xuanye couldn't help but wonder.

"In fact, there are not many people in the capital who know that the Tongya Gang has assassinated Sima Youran, and they made an appointment with Shen Ying this time, I am afraid that they want to unite with Xue Chimen to deal with the Tongya Gang. Lu Ziqing on the side said indifferently.

Li Xuanye frowned and said, "Then won't they be too blatant like this?" Will Shen Ying choose to cooperate with them?"

"I'm afraid this is the cleverness of my leisurely senior brother, if he wants to pull Shen Ying into the gang, he will definitely have chips in his hand that make Shen Ying's heart move, and with the chips, he just needs to find an opportunity to make Shen Ying strengthen his confidence in cooperating with them. This time, they made an open appointment with Shen Ying, just to give Shen Ying a choice. If Shen Ying chooses to go to the banquet, then Xue Chimen will be labeled as the prince's power in the eyes of the major forces in the capital; if Shen Ying does not choose to go to the banquet this time, it means that Shen Ying is hesitant in his heart, and the prince's side will not look for Shen Ying again. Lu Ziqing explained unhurriedly.

"Is this so? I didn't expect Shen Ying to be a female streamer with such great courage. Li Xuanye said.

"Actually, I probably expected that Shen Ying would accept the prince's invitation, after all, if I guessed correctly, the chip that the prince threw to Shen Ying, Shen Ying would not be able to resist. ”

"Irresistible, what reason did the prince use to persuade Shen Ying?" Li Xuanye was puzzled.

"Back then, on the way back to escort your future father-in-law, the death of the previous master of the Xuechimen ......"

......

......

Pick up the stars.

"The shopkeeper, a leisurely son, there is a son named Xiong Jingcheng downstairs who asks to see him. Li Huanyu had just returned to the room after arranging the dinner for the evening, and Uncle He came in to say goodbye.

"Xiong Jingcheng, do you know this person?" Li Huanyu asked Sima Youran on the side, after all, he really didn't know the person downstairs, so this person might have come to find Sima Youran.

"I don't know ......"

"Okay, Uncle He, invite this son up. ”

After a while, He Bo brought in a young man holding a folding fan and wearing a jade ring around his waist.

"I've seen the prince of Yuanguo, and I've seen Lord Sima Youran. The young man laughed.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency?" asked Li Huanyu with a smile while waiting for the sign.

Xiong Jingcheng smiled and said, "I know that you don't know me, but I've been fascinated by you for a long time." ”

"I'm not from Yuanguo, I just came to the capital, I heard that the two of you have been staying here to pick up the stars, so I came to the star house without permission, if you disturb the two, I hope you will forgive me.

Childe laughed, but it didn't bother, but ...... Childe, you should also explain your true identity. Sima said leisurely. According to the name "Xiong Jingcheng", Sima Youran had a simple conjecture, but the identity of the person he guessed was too appalling for Sima Youran to confirm.

"Sima Gongzi should have thought of it in his heart. My surname is Xiong, my name is Zimo, and I am the sixth prince of the country. ”

Sima Youran and Li Huanyu were shocked.

Xiong Jingcheng, Jing, Wang Jing.

The Six Princes of the Kingdom of Mi!

Why did this prince of the Kingdom of Mi appear here to pick up stars?
