The last director
recalled that after Princess Chang was reborn, she was on her way back to her career
. Sheng Yunlin accidentally sprained his ankle.
In fact, it’s not very serious. If you want to blame her, you should blame her for not paying attention to looking down at the road. But even so, Jaffe carried her all the way back to Che yuan, and called the herbalist to check for her, to confirm that the bone was not hurt.
The herbalist left a bottle of medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Jaffe personally applied it to Sheng Yunlin. The ointment was cool, and the bare skin was slightly itchy in the night wind. “It’s not that much of an exaggeration,”
Sheng Yunlin muttered.
“Don’t move.” Jaffe said.
Sheng Yunlin gave a low “oh.”.
Her ankle is pinched by Jaffe in the hand, obviously the place that has been smeared is very cold, but there is some fever on her face. The porter
of Che-yuan knocked at the door and asked Jaffe if he wanted to prepare a carriage for him.
Jaffe was about to answer, but the moment he looked up, he found Sheng Yunlin blinking at him.
He burst out laughing and said to the door, “No need.”. Send a message to the Hsieh Mansion for me, saying that Miss Sheng has hurt her foot and has asked a herbalist to come and see me, and that I need to look after her. “All right,” said the
porter, “the little one is going to deliver the message.”
Hearing the porter’s footsteps, Jaffe gave Sheng Yunlin a sidelong glance and asked in a low voice, “Are you satisfied?”
Sheng Yunlin smiled, leaned over, and quickly kissed him on the face.
Jaffe’s face did not change. “I’ll send someone to bathe you,” he said.
“And you?”
“Go to the guest room.”
“I don’t have a guest room.” Sheng Yunlin immediately said.
“Just clean out one room.” Jaffe wants to go.
“How can you do this!” Sheng Yun-lin grabbed him by the sleeve. “When we were in the Cheng family, we slept in the same room. Didn’t you ask someone to clean guest room for you?”
She was justified in losing her temper.
“Your Royal Highness.” Jaffe’s voice is still calm, “Our wedding date is set for next month, and there are only twenty-six days left. Can’t you even wait for twenty-six days?”
Sheng Yunlin’s cheeks became hot.
She felt that as a former regent princess, she should not blush so quickly and so obviously when she had several male pets in her previous life.
So she shook Jaffe’s arm. “Can’t you talk to me?”? I haven’t seen you for days, and I’ve been waiting all day for you to come over.
He added, “If you don’t believe me, ask the servants of Cheyuan. Every one of them can testify.” In
that pair of glittering pupils, there seemed to be a trace of grievance.
Xie Fei suddenly understood what Sheng Yunlin meant when he said on the way back to Beijing, “I’m good at coaxing people,” and “everyone likes me very much.”.
She is really good at coaxing people, and he really eats it.
In the end, Jaffe compromised.
Jaffe felt that he might be habitually compromising with Sheng Yunlin. Anyway, for so many years, what she wanted to do always achieved her goal, even if he was worried and unwilling, he would eventually do what she wanted.
Like her and Lu Zhiyuan’s wedding, obviously he did not want to see her risk, but still tried his best to go to Yunnan to transfer troops, day and night, before she arrived in the capital before the wedding.
At that time, she was so polite to herself that the words to persuade him to deploy troops were probably already in her mind several times, but she did not know that as long as she opened her mouth, he would do it.
I really can’t do anything about her. Jaffe thought. When
they were so alienated, I couldn’t refuse her, let alone now?
She looked at him with a smile, shaking his arms in her hands and acting like a spoiled child to him. You can’t refuse
at all.
Jaffe called the servant girl to give Sheng Yunlin a bath, but also told the servant girl to pay attention to her ankles, do not let her slip. Sheng Yunlin seems to have really become good, repeatedly promised that he would pay attention to the road in the future.
Jaffe recalled that in the fifteen years since he had known Sheng Yunlin, his Highness had never seemed to feel so good in front of him.
It feels a little strange. After
going to bed, Sheng Yunlin said he couldn’t sleep and grabbed Jaffe to tell her a story.
“I don’t know this.” Jaffe said helplessly, “Why don’t you find a script and I’ll read it to you?”
By the way, you’ve traveled all over the world in the past three years, and you’ve seen and heard something, haven’t you? Once when I couldn’t sleep in the palace, I sent someone to tell me stories, such as legends of Jianghu, and I got sleepy when I listened.
Is it true that the more you listen, the more energetic you will be? Jaffe thought.
However, he seems to have noticed an important detail.
“Who told you the legend?” Asked Jaffe.
Sheng Yunlin: “… …”
Jaffe seemed to say softly, “Fang Yizhi?”
Sheng Yunlin: “… …” After a moment’s
silence, Sheng Yunlin said shyly, “Do you remember his name?”? I only remember that his surname was Fang.
Yes, one of her titular male pets was presented to the palace because the script of the play was quite famous, telling stories vividly and sweetly.
Jaffe gave a “hum,” but his tone seemed a little unfriendly.
Sheng Yunlin felt that this matter could not be passed by her acting like a spoiled child. “You know all that, don’t you?”
She asked tentatively? In fact, I use them. Gu Zhangqing, for example, was nominally sent to the palace by Lord Wang, but in fact, the real person behind him was Huo Xuancheng. I wanted him to read the memorial to me. In fact, what he saw was arranged by me, and what was passed on was also arranged by me.
“I know.” Jaffe said.
And Fang Yi-chih, in the name of telling me stories and rehearsing plays, wrote a lot of books alluding to the court. The people behind him thought they could use him to incite me, but the means were so low that I could deduce who they were trying to deal with.
“Mmm.” Jaffe’s tone is also flat.
Seeing that he had no other reaction at all, Sheng Yunlin grabbed him and said, “Really, everyone is useful. I never do anything superfluous.”
In the summer night, cicadas chirp, and the bamboo shadow is like a picture. Candles were extinguished
in the room, and only the moonlight falling from the window was left on the couch. Under such a clear light, Jaffe looked into Sheng Yunlin’s eyes.
But they are still with you. Much more than I have been by your side.
Sheng Yunlin’s heart was suddenly tightened.
Those years.. In
those years, she thought Jaffe hated her.
But he even remembered the names of people who didn’t matter.
…… How many things did she do to make him sad?
Tears suddenly fell down uncontrollably and dripped on the couch with a patter. What’s
the matter? Why are you crying? Jaffe was suddenly a little flustered, as if he had no idea that he would make her cry.
“Sorry.” Sheng Yun-lin wiped his eyes and said, “I’ve lived my whole life again, and it’s like I’ve become a crybaby.”
“What’s there to apologize for?” Jaffe has some helplessness.
He shouldn’t have said that just now.
“Because of regret.” Sheng Yun-lin sobbed and said, “I didn’t find your heart in those years, which made you so sad.”. I’m also very, very sad now. I was really terrible at that time.
“Stop it.”
Jaffe held Sheng Yunlin’s face and kissed the tears in her eyes.
Bitter, slightly salty.
Then, down the tear, kiss her cheek, lips, and finally stay on the lips.
Tossing and turning.
Sheng Yunlin encircled his neck and kissed him sobbing.
Her weeping kisses seemed to have a seductive power. There was a
snap. The string of reason
in Jaffe’s mind finally broke.
The kiss, which was originally very gentle, was further deepened and turned into an unrestrained demand. The first time he treated her so roughly, Sheng Yunlin’s eyes were slightly red, but his bad thoughts became more and more turbulent.
Such a night, such a man.
He waited for fifteen years.
He once thought that he could not wait any longer, but he got it back, so he regarded it as a treasure.
He kissed her earlobe, collarbone, shoulder and neck, and saw the scar on her left shoulder again.
Jaffe stroked it gently.
It was an arrow that Sheng Yunlin blocked for him in order to save him.
「…… Still left you with a scar. Jaffe’s tone was a little choked.
Jaffe still remembers the wounds on Sheng Yunlin’s back, the scars she understated, even if the golden branches and jade leaves were kept, they would not fade away for a long time.
He blamed himself. He thought at least he could protect her for the rest of his life. But he still couldn’t do it.
Sheng Yun-lin hugged him tightly and said to him, “I am willing.”
She kissed his hair.
Jaffe’s palm stroked her back, stroked the Braised Spare Ribs, and went down the middle spinal line inch by inch. The warmth of the
skin touch came, and Sheng Yunlin’s body trembled slightly.
……
Sheng Yunlin nestled in Jaffe’s arms, only to feel that his whole body was falling apart and his limbs and bones were soft.
Maybe it’s because she slept with Jaffe more than once before, and Jaffe’s behavior has always been very gentlemanly, so she didn’t actually make any psychological preparations.
Forget it. It doesn’t matter. It’s her people anyway.
Sheng Yunlin raised his head and kissed Jaffe’s jaw contentedly. The time in Jaffe’s arms was so beautiful that she didn’t want to move at all.
Jaffe’s hand was still swimming on her smooth white back, and Sheng Yunlin was a little confused about why Jaffe was so interested in her back, and suddenly remembered the past when Jaffe had strayed into the Weiyang Palace bath.
But she doesn’t think that’s the reason. At that time, her back was full of scars, so ugly, I am afraid it is difficult for Jaffe to give birth to any charming ideas, right?
Whether Jaffe didn’t mind or not, she did.
“Fortunately, I don’t have those scars on my back in my life.” Sheng Yunlin said.
「…… When you were so badly hurt, how did you get better? Jaffe’s voice was a little astringent.
Someone called the doctor to save me. The doctor kept the ointment and gauze and changed it every day. I was lucky and didn’t get any worse.
Bluegrass to change your dressing? Does it hurt?
“No, I wasn’t familiar with the bluegrass at that time, and it was Yu’er who changed it for me.”
Jaffe’s hand lingered on her back.
Sheng Yun-lin was stupefied for a moment. Then he exclaimed, “Isn’t that right, Lord Hsieh? Yu’er was only ten years old at the time. Are you even jealous of him?”
Jaffe ignored her and bit her shoulder directly. With a cry,
Sheng Yunlin hugged him tightly and complained, “Lord Xie, how can you do this?”! You haven’t even told me when you liked me, and you’re still settling old scores with me from so many years ago!
But the complaint was useless after all, and in the end he cut his hands behind his back and drowned in a long kiss.
…… Until finally crying for mercy. Even though
she was crying for mercy, she still insisted, “Jaffe, don’t go too far. I only like you from the beginning to the end. You can’t eat everyone’s vinegar.” Mmm.
Jaffe again blocked her unfinished words with a kiss.
At least Jaffe confirmed one thing: the long princess in her previous life had to clench her teeth and hold back when she met with a big thing, but in this life, Sheng Yunlin’s tears really dropped.
So you can’t believe it at all.
……
Finally, Sheng Yunlin had no strength left, pillowed on Jaffe’s shoulder, encircled his waist, and fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know what dream I had, but I was still reading his name in the dream.
“Jaffe..”
“Mmm.”
“It’s killing me..”
「……」 What did she dream about?
「…… I love you so much. Sheng Yunlin whispered.
Jaffe suddenly felt something soft melting in his heart. Unconsciously,
he raised a shallow smile and kissed her forehead. “Me too.”
Before dawn, Jaffe had already got up and changed his clothes.
“What’s the matter?” Sheng Yunlin opened his eyes in a daze.
“Did I wake you?” Jaffe asked softly, “I’m going to court today, so you should sleep a little longer.”
「…… Resumption of office?
“Well, the emperor will issue a decree today.”
Sheng Yun-lin said, “Oh,” and got into bed again. Jaffe could not help chuckling when he saw her sleeping like a satisfied little animal. The more
she lived, the more she went back.
But this is good.
The boy had already retrieved his official uniform from Xie Fu. He had not worn the scarlet robes of a civil official for three years, a black gauze cap, a round-necked shirt, and a ribbon around his waist. Che yuan’s servant girl tidied up the collar and sleeves for him, and the man in the mirror was tall and straight, with a cold temperament, but handsome and elegant.
One person below ten thousand people above the position, the only prince Taifu who can contend with Huo Xuancheng, finally to return to the court.
With the reinstatement of Jaffe, Cheng Ling, a Jiangning native, beat the drum and sued Jia Cheng, a Jiangning weaving herbalist, for abusing power for personal gain and oppressing the people, and killed a total of 25 members of the Cheng family for a trumped-up crime. The child, who was
less than ten years old, took the risk of being beaten 20 times and traveled a long way to Beijing to complain for his father and brother. On the
Hall of Supreme Harmony, the son of heaven was furious.
“Where is the child now?” Chen Yu asked.
“Return to Your Majesty.” Hsieh Chueh stepped forward. “We’ve been punished according to the rules,” he said. “We’re in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for Your Majesty to deal with it.”
“Treat him first.” Chen Yu’s face was gloomy. “Chiu Chih-tung!”
“My humble minister is here.” Qiu Zhitong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was listed.
This case is in the charge of your Ministry of Punishment. I do not believe that such a young child will be instructed to frame the court officials! You give me a good trial of this case!
“My humble minister takes orders.”
Jaffe and Huo Xuancheng stood side by side on the right side of the first position.
Two senior officials of the first grade, regardless of their status. Jaffe seems to have no change from three years ago, there is no expression in the court, Huo Xuancheng frowned slightly, I do not know what to think.
“Prime Minister.” Chen Yu sits on the head, temperament Ling Ran. Light and shadow just passed over his angular face, which was divided into two parts at the bridge of his nose, one side bright and the other dark, so that people could not see his expression clearly. “I still remember,”
he said slowly, “that it was you who recommended Jia Cheng to be a knitting herbalist in Jiangning.”
Huo Xuancheng deplored: If Jia Langzhong really committed this crime, the old minister would naturally be to blame! I also hope that the emperor will not take care of the old minister’s face and punish him severely!
“That’s not what I meant.” Chen Yu smiled, “People can change, and some things are closely related to their position.”. Some officials are not greedy at first, but after working for a long time, they may change their mood. With the prime minister’s virtue, when recommending Jia Cheng, must also be to share my worries, I also feel that this matter is somewhat strange, need to be carefully examined. However, from an outsider’s point of view, the prime minister inevitably has something to do with this case. It’s better to avoid suspicion. The case should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.
“Your Majesty is indeed considerate.” Huo Xuancheng said respectfully, “The old minister is ashamed of himself.”
Chen Yu alone in this court and Huo Xuancheng for three years, has long understood that Huo Xuancheng is the kind of slippery old fox, used to pick themselves clean.
Therefore, we can only try to lure him and let him reveal himself. Inside the Palace
of Heavenly Purity, there was silence and solemnity. It was already summer, but suddenly there was a chill.
The bright yellow figure was standing under the eaves, and Jaffe entered the temple after the eunuch informed him that he was seeing Chen Yu standing there, with an indescribable emotion on his face, as if he were lonely.
“Taifu is here.” Chen Yu grabbed Jaffe, who was about to salute, and said, “There’s no need to be too polite.”
“I haven’t seen you for three years. Your Majesty has calmed down a lot.” Jaffe said.
“I’ll take it as a compliment from the Grand Master.” Chen Yu smiled bitterly. “In the three years you’ve been away, I’ve suffered a lot from the Huo family.”
“The Huo family has accumulated a lot, and there are many followers. It must be hard for Your Majesty to deal with Huo Xuancheng.”
「…… I’m just afraid of being ashamed of my sister. Chen Yu suddenly said.
「……」 Jaffe was silent.
“Taifu, I know why you resigned.” There seemed to be boundless loneliness in Chen Yu’s eyes. I was also very disappointed with myself, and I wanted to go with my elder sister countless times. But I know I can’t do that. I can’t be a coward and leave the mess of the former court behind, or I won’t have the face to see her when I go underground.
Jaffe didn’t know what to say.
Three years ago, they didn’t talk openly about it. Perhaps that year Chen Yu almost went crazy, nearly a month did not go to court, until Jaffe left the capital, they have no chance to talk about this matter. One day more than
a month later, Chen Yu suddenly went to court.
He did not inform anyone in advance, so the courtiers thought that today was like yesterday. Who would have thought that the young emperor had not slept all night. In the fifth watch of the night, a man quietly came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and asked the big eunuch beside him, “Where is the man?”? Bring them all to me.
His voice was empty and faint, which made Huang Xi shudder. The people in the
palace went from door to door, and all the sedan chairs of the officials rushed to the palace gate for fear of offending Tianyan. No one could understand why the emperor, who had lost his last relative, was suddenly willing to go to court again, as if nothing had happened.
Only that day, Chen Yu did not wait for Jaffe. The only thing that
came was Jaffe’s resignation.
Over the years, Sheng Yunlin built a civil service group for him, headed by Jaffe, to compete with the powerful Huo family. Now, Jaffe is gone. Above the
hall, he was finally alone.
……
Chen Yu did not continue to say this to Jaffe, and he soon got down to business: “I didn’t find out about the private army you mentioned.”. These days, I’ve asked the patrol camp to look for a place with its base turned upside down, and I’ve looked for everything within a hundred miles of the capital, but I’ve found nothing.
A hundred miles is exactly the distance that a well-trained army can travel in a day. Huo Xuancheng wants to rebel, and to force the palace in the capital, it is impossible to hide the private army far away.
It must be. We just didn’t find it. Jaffe said.
If you can’t get the irrefutable evidence of Huo Xuancheng’s rebellion and imprison him only on the basis of the evidence you have found, then the henchmen of the Huo family will surely rise up and attack him, and label me as a cruel and loyal person. When the time comes, I won’t want to let them go, but I will.
Huo Xuancheng’s sphere of influence is how wide, and how wise to protect oneself, Chen Yu is very clear.
His position can’t be easily shaken by himself. Today in the court, his henchmen are already speaking for him.
Thought Liang Wang suspended cooperation with him, is to buy time for their own side, but did not expect, simply can not find evidence of his rebellion. To
enlarge the radius, the distance within three days of the March must be checked. Check all the places you’ve checked before. Maybe there’s a disguise. Jaffe quickly concluded, “The time we have is very short. If the King of Liang turns around and chooses to continue to help him, Chen Jun and I go to the border, then we will be in a passive position.”
Chen Yu’s right hand was clenched into a fist, and the veins were stretched.
“If necessary, I will force him to do it.” His voice was deep and dangerous.
Force him to do it? How? ‘ Sheng Yunlin tilted on the imperial concubine’s couch, shaking her royal blue enamel folding fan.
“The emperor didn’t say.” Jaffe took off his robes and changed into his regular clothes.
“If I had known how deep the old fox was hiding, I wouldn’t have alerted the snake.” Sheng Yun-lin looked displeased. “At the worst, I’ll fight him. I’m afraid of him.”
“Why did you take out your fan again?” Asked Jaffe. In fact,
Sheng Yunlin has been learning how to use this folding fan in her spare time according to the book given to her by Feng Wuheng, and now she has achieved a little success.
At this point she casually pulled up a fan flower, with a rather romantic gesture and a teasing smile on her face: “Lord Hsieh, why didn’t I find out before that you were so jealous?”
Jaffe stared at her face, his eyes fixed.
Sheng Yun-lin swished the fan away and said, “Why, do you still want to confiscate it?”? It’s not like I haven’t shown it to you. Why are you so stingy?
“The last time you brought it to me, it was in the basement of Cheng’s house. I didn’t look carefully.” Jaffe said, “Now I realize that this fan looks familiar to me.”
Sheng Yunlin was slightly stupefied. Have you seen it before? Where is it? In the early years
of yuande, you sent me as an envoy to Qi to persuade the other side to withdraw its troops. Because my grandfather had something to do with the emperor of Qi, he was treated with courtesy by them. The emperor of Qi held a palace banquet to receive me, and the empress was also present. It was this folding fan that she was holding in her hand.
“Really?” Sheng Yunlin shook the fan again and held it up in front of Jaffe’s eyes. “Look again?”? Are you sure there is no mistake? The fan I saw
at that time had the same silver-gilded silk shading, with a sapphire-blue enamel inlaid with a picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains. Because of the special craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship, I was deeply impressed.
Previously, Jaffe just didn’t want to pay much attention to what the wind gave to Sheng Yunlin, but he never thought that he had missed such an important detail.
Sheng Yunlin also murmured, “We also speculated that he was a member of the Seventeen Princes of the State of Qi. In that case, I’m afraid he was the Seventeen Princes himself..” When did
Feng Wuheng give him this fan?
On Chen Yu’s boat. And at that time, the wind without trace had informed Jaffe, and the next day Jaffe came over. So normally, the day Jaffe found her, he should have found the clue of the fan.
Sheng Yunlin, of course, does not feel that the wind really likes himself, although he said so, but from beginning to end, the goal is only one Jaffe. He said those sticky words to himself in order to annoy Jaffe, and even the fan was directed at Jaffe.
He came to the State of Chen just to “meet” the wandering Jaffe by chance, so that he could discover Huo Xuancheng’s fox tail through investigation. He left this fan just so that Jaffe could infer his identity and come to him on his own initiative to cooperate.
…… Who knows, Jaffe didn’t want to see what he gave himself.
“Impolitic.” “We must go and look for him,” said Sheng Yun-lin with a solemn expression.
“Can you find him?” Asked Jaffe.
“That’s about 50% sure.”
“And when you find it?”
“Join hands with him to make a game.” A sharp light flashed through Sheng Yunlin’s eyes.
Don’t you want to force Huo Xuancheng to show his fox tail?
He loves to join hands with Qi so much, so let the people of Qi force him.
Huitong Yinzhuang is the only Yinzhuang between Chen and Qi. It is said that the owner behind it is a wealthy merchant of Qi. Qi people who go to Chen to do business will choose to deposit silver in this Yinzhuang.
Chen Guo’s capital naturally has the semicolon of Huitong Yinzhuang, which is on the busiest West Street. “I want to see your shopkeeper,” said
Sheng Yunlin. In the
capital, any leaf that fell could hit three or five dignitaries. Seeing that Sheng Yunlin’s carriage was very grand, his dress and manner were extraordinary, he immediately went to the back compartment to report.
Not long after, shopkeeper Xu of the bank came out to greet him, saying, “Welcome to the bank. I don’t know what you’re looking for Xu for.”
Sheng Yun-lin handed out a silver note and pointed to the small private seal in the lower right corner. “I wonder if shopkeeper Xu knows this seal?” A trace of surprise flashed through the eyes of
the shopkeeper, but the next second it returned to normal: “The little man doesn’t know this seal.”. However, the stamp on the note will not affect the exchange. Please rest assured.
However, that fleeting look of surprise still failed to escape Sheng Yunlin’s eyes.
“It seems that shopkeeper Hsu knows each other.” Sheng Yun-lin had no intention of beating around the Bush with him. “I want to ask shopkeeper Hsu to send a message to the owner of this seal.”
“Xu doesn’t understand you.” Shopkeeper Xu laughed.
Sheng Yunlin took out the enamel folding fan and spread it out.
“Do you know this?” The smile on shopkeeper
Xu’s face stopped immediately.
“This, this is..”
“Do you know each other?” Sheng Yun-lin put away the fan. “Then you should be able to find him.”. I don’t mean to embarrass you. I just want you to give me a word. Jaffe and I are getting married, and I want to invite him to the capital for a wedding feast.
“You..” Shopkeeper Xu was at a loss. Did
he hear right? Jaffe? Does it refer to the Taifu Xie Yingzhan?
But everyone in the capital knew that he was going to marry the daughter of Hou Fu’s family in Wu’an, Yunnan. Isn’t the one in
front of you.
Sheng Yun-lin handed over another piece of paper: “This is my home address. He can come here to find me.” The word “Che yuan” at the end of the
note thoroughly confirmed shopkeeper Hsu’s conjecture.
Really, Xie Taifu got married and invited the seventeen princes of Qi to drink?! When he
first saw the private seal, he wondered if the girl was cheating him, but who knew that the girl had taken out the fan again. The first queen’s beloved enamel fan, however, was really carried by the seventeen princes. There was no second one in the world. It was a token. Shop
keeper Hsu said in a trembling voice, “Well, I dare to ask the girl, are you in a hurry?”
“In a hurry.” Sheng Yun-lin nodded. “Please bring the message as soon as possible. The sooner the better.”
That night, Feng Wuhen taught Sheng Yunlin to identify the private seal on the silver ticket, and told her that when she went to Huitong Yinzhuang in Qi, she could point out the private seal, so that the people in Yinzhuang would not embarrass her.
Considering that if one day she needed it, Sheng Yunlin deliberately left the last silver ticket of ten thousand taels without exchange, she was not sure whether the private seal was still valid in the State of Chen, but she thought that the person who put Huitong Yinzhuang in the capital should have a higher rank and might know more things. Anyway, she was going to have a try.
That’s why she told Jaffe she was 50% sure.
Unexpectedly, the blind cat met a dead mouse, and this shopkeeper Xu knew a lot.
Two days later, the concierge came to report that a man surnamed Pei had come to the gate of Che yuan. He was handsome and elegant, and his clothes were very expensive. He claimed that he had been invited by Sheng Yunlin and had come a long way, but there was no post on his hand.
Sheng Yun-lin originally wanted to say, “I don’t know anyone whose surname is Pei,” but when the words came to her lips, she realized that when she first saw Feng Wuheng, didn’t Feng Wuheng claim to be Pei Tzu-an? Sheng Yunlin immediately asked the concierge to invite someone in.
To the front hall to see, such a look of the wind without trace let Sheng Yunlin some can not recognize.
He used to appear at night, either fluttering in white or disappearing in black, but never like this, wearing a purple gold-rimmed robe, a golden crown, and a romantic posture.
“The young man’s temperament is really extraordinary.” Sheng Yun-lin almost applauded him. “Where is the shadow of a bandit?”? I’ll escort you to the government, but even the yamen won’t accept it.
“Miss Sheng is joking again.” “You called me all the way here, and now you don’t even invite me to a cup of tea?” How can
tea be enough? You must be served with good wine. Sheng Yun-lin has people set up wine jars and side dishes. “Jaffe isn’t on duty yet. He won’t come out halfway. We can have a good time.”
“Yo.” Feng Wuheng said jokingly, “Miss Sheng has a good wrist.”. I thought he was going to cherish the memory of the eldest princess for the rest of his life, but now I hear he’s going to marry you?
Sheng Yunlin smiled softly and did not answer, but poured him a glass of wine.
Throughout the ages, the more important things, the more can not go straight to the subject, have to drink three rounds, we all relax each other, it is easy to chat.
“I thought I’d have to wait for you for at least three or five days, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon.” Didn’t you
say you were worried? Come and go, travel thousands of miles a day. I’ve worn out three of my horses along the way. Will you pay for that?
Sheng Yun-lin said with a smile, “You’re not short of money. Why do you have to ask me, a weak woman, for a debt?”
“Weak woman?” Feng Wuheng raised his eyebrows and said, “You don’t look like a weak woman anymore.”
He remembered the first time he tied up Sheng Yunlin and put the sword on her neck, she looked indifferent.
It’s not fearless, it’s really indifferent.
Sheng Yun-lin filled his glass and said, “I didn’t expect you to be the Seventeen Prince of the State of Qi.”
Why, are you moved? Are you going to make a promise? Feng Wuheng easily recognized his identity and continued to say, “It’s not too late for you to regret now. Marrying me is a princess of a country. Marrying Jaffe can only be a lady of life.”
Mrs. Dangdang’s life is not bad either. It’s quite fresh. What’s a princess? The queen has to kneel down when she sees me. Sheng Yunlin said it doesn’t matter.
“We’ve known each other for a while, and we’ve been on good terms. Now you know who I am, but you don’t tell me who you are. Isn’t that too mean?”
“It’s not that I didn’t say anything on purpose, it’s just that I was afraid you’d freak out.” Sheng Yunlin leisurely tunnel. I’m even more curious about
that. I’d like to hear what else can frighten me.
…… After
half a cup of tea. Feng Wuheng was
really scared.
Perhaps the alcohol had played a role. He looked up and down at Sheng Yunlin several times, and finally said, “I wonder how Hsieh Ying-chan could value you so much. So that’s how..” Holding his cheek,
Sheng Yunlin said, “Although you came to the State of Chen for the sake of Jaffe, you won’t lose by meeting me.”
It’s really not a loss, the wind has no trace to think. It can
even be said to be a big profit.
He was the legitimate son of the Empress of the State of Qi, and the brother of his mother was the crown prince, so he always lived as he pleased and never thought of taking any responsibility. Whether it is to be a knight-errant
with the identity of wind without trace or to open Huitong Yinzhuang to a neighboring country, it is just a pastime for him when he is free.
It’s just that I’ve heard of the princess regent of the State of Chen. When she was about the same age as him, she lay dormant in Ye Youting for six years. She poisoned Chen Yan and killed Lu Zhiyuan. She sat firmly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and assisted the young emperor to ascend the throne. It took only five years to turn the State of Chen, where people’s livelihood was depressed and everything needed to be done, into a prosperous northern overlord.
Later, when the long princess died, he also lamented that the extreme wisdom would be hurt. When Princess
Chang first ascended to a high position, she sent Xie Yingzhan to Qi as an envoy. At that time, he was just a spoiled prince. He saw Xie Yingzhan in the distance at the banquet. He didn’t know what special place he had besides his beautiful skin. He also didn’t understand why his father gave him such preferential treatment.
When he knew everything about Xie Yingzhan, he suddenly found that the Lord Xie of the State of Chen actually had some different feelings for the long princess, far more than general monarch and minister. All
this was only the result of his reasoning and judgment, but at least in this respect, he never missed the judgment.
Accompanied by the emergence of extreme wisdom, it is often the deep love that does not live long. When Princess Chang passed away, the news of Taifu’s resignation came from the State of Chen. Although it confirmed his guess, it made him sigh.
At that time, he lost his mother and elder brother in just a few years. In the face of the king of Liang, who was eyeing the throne like a jackal, the once dissolute and carefree seventeen princes had to restrain their temper and compete with their full-fledged elder brother.
Very occasionally, he would think, if the long princess of Chen was trapped in his situation, what would he do? At
such a time, he would feel very sorry. It was a pity that she had never known that royal Highness. I don’t know what kind of mind she had, but she was able to let Xie Taifu die with her.
But now, the long princess is sitting beside him, constantly pouring him wine, but people are smiling.
…… It’s really different from what I imagined.
Sheng Yunlin asked him, “The surname of the State of Qi is Li. Feng Wuhen and Pei Tzu-an are your aliases. What is your real name?”
“Kyung Chul! Lee Kyung Chul!” Feng Wu-heng smiles. “It’s just one word more than your garden. It seems that there is indeed a predestined relationship.”
“Then when you are enthroned, shall my garden be renamed?”
“Why, does the eldest princess want to help me?”
Sheng Yunlin shook the folding fan and said with a smile, “I’m pretty good at assisting the prince to ascend the throne.”
When Jaffe went back to Che yuan, he ran into two drunks.
And it’s one drunk telling another drunk, “Are you stupid?”? When your brother was in poor health, you should have prepared yourself. If it were me, the king of Liang would have gone to hell eighty times!
“Who would have thought of that?” Another drunkard quipped, “My brother has been crown prince for 30 years, and he was crown prince before I was even born!” As a result
, isn’t the King of Liang still dominant? If Chen Yu was that stupid, I would have beaten him!
“Did you even beat the emperor?” The drunk man was stunned.
“I beat him up a lot when he was a kid.” The female drunkard looked at the male drunkard disdainfully and said sadly, “At that time I beat him, but he was still very clingy to me.” Why is it like this now..
“It’s a good thing I don’t have a sister like you. My brother never wants to beat me.” The drunk man said sullenly, “But you were..” Hiccup! How did you die? I’ve heard a lot of versions, ah, about your attempted rebellion and suicide, and about an accidental fire in the palace. Anyway, they’re all outrageous.
「……」 The drunkard hugged the wine jar and suddenly stopped talking.
Jaffe was outside the door, and finally he couldn’t listen any more.
He pushed the door and entered, squinting at the wind without trace-now it’s time to call Li Jingche-and then picked up Sheng Yunlin at the waist.
“Hello, Hsieh Ying-chum–” Lee Ching-che called out.
“Give the guest a room.” Jaffe’s steward to Che-yuan.
Sheng Yunlin put his arm around his neck and rubbed it against his shoulder.
“You’re back.” Her voice is soft.
“Mmm.” Jaffe hugged her.
At the thought of her sudden depression, Jaffe felt very distressed.
Sheng Yunlin was a good drinker in his previous life, but he could only make do with it in this life.
She curled up like a cat and fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was midnight. Xie Fei has returned to Xie Fu, too many acquaintances in the capital, rumors spread quickly, he really inconvenient to often stay overnight in Che yuan.
But counting on his fingers, there were only a few days left before their wedding date.
Lee Kyung-chul is gone, too. He left a letter with the same handwriting as usual, probably meaning that he would leave for Qi immediately and fulfill his promise to Sheng Yunlin as soon as possible.
Sheng Yunlin set the status quo. The case of the
Cheng family, Chen Yu gave almost the highest attention, now Jia Cheng has been suspended, escorted back to Beijing pending trial; Huo Xuancheng because involved in the case, also handed over the matter.
Huo family henchmen should come forward to oppose, but Chen Yu in the court a state of regret, claiming that Huo Xiang must return a clean slate as soon as possible, those voices of opposition will be helpless. Sheng Yunlin sighed that Chen Yu had grown up a lot, and she really couldn’t imagine that Chen Yu could deal with Huo Xuancheng to such an extent three years ago.
Ying Wei went to Beijing to investigate the suburbs of Beijing again, looking for the private army raised by Huo Xuancheng. Li Jingche promised to find a way for Sheng Yunlin to make Huo Xuancheng unable to hold back and take the initiative to show up.
According to Sheng Yunlin’s understanding of Huo Xuancheng, this person is extremely cautious, and only when he is fully prepared will he start, which is very different from Sheng Yunlin’s style of daring to go up and gamble his life with five points of certainty. Therefore
, Sheng Yunlin must make Huo Xuancheng believe that the king of Liang is willing to cooperate with him.
Li Jingche is by no means an ordinary person. Although he is young and vigorous, Sheng Yunlin believes that he also has his own means.
Everything is under control. Sheng Yunlin thought.
As soon as Huo Xuancheng’s private army emerged, the guards caught them all, and got the conclusive evidence of Huo Xuancheng and his henchmen’s rebellion, they could uproot the forces that she had feared for many years.
She has been waiting for this day for eight years.
Now, all this is almost over.
For Chen Chao to finish this last thing, from now on is the four seas peace. If Li Jingche ascends the throne in the future, with this old friendship, Chen and Qi may also be able to resolve years of enmity and become friends. Both
internal and external troubles were averted, and she was finally able to put down the responsibility on her shoulders.
If Jaffe wanted to continue to serve the court, she didn’t mind staying in the capital; if Jaffe was willing to leave the troubled old place with her, they would be happy to travel all over the world. Either way
, she feels good. It’s good
to be with Jaffe. For
so many years, Jaffe had acted according to her wishes, and now she was no longer sitting in the high position where the beaded curtain fell, and it was her turn to accompany Jaffe. There are only seven days left
before the big wedding. The
palace suddenly sent someone to Che yuan. The chief eunuch was still Huang Xi, who said respectfully, “Your Majesty would like to invite Miss Sheng into the palace for a chat.”
Sheng Yun-lin frowned slightly, remembering his unhappy past on the big ship in Jiangning. “Is the emperor trying to put me under house arrest again?” He asked with displeasure.
“What are you talking about? The emperor is only asking you to come to the palace to talk. Knowing that the girl is going to get married, the maidservant will surely send her back to your house before the auspicious time.”
「……」
Sheng Yunlin sighed and finally got on the Zhai car in the palace.
