After rebirth, the regent refused to divorce

Chapter 139 The Battle of Tongues
"The bandits in Xuanwu Mountain have never been eradicated. They have been burning, killing, looting and committing crimes near the capital all these years. I never imagined that the two children under Shen Aiqing would be so capable. They destroyed Xuanwu Mountain by themselves. They really are heroes. When I was young, I couldn't help but feel very relieved when I heard about this, come, pour wine for the two little heroes!"

Emperor Suiyuan's expression was smiling, but everyone present couldn't help but change their expressions.

Shen Lin, the Grand Tutor, sounds nice, but to put it bluntly, he is a worthless civil servant, living off his salary, and the only reputation that can be called good is the status of Old Madam Shen, the daughter of the Mingyuan County Lord. But the county lord can't speak at the feet of the emperor, let alone a little county lord's daughter?

It was precisely because of this that Shen Lin was extremely cautious in Beijing, and he would not offend anyone, but now Emperor Suiyuan spoke eloquently, calling Shen Qingyi and Shen Jingnian "little heroes", isn't it a disguise to praise the Shen family?
On the surface, these words were indeed a compliment, but in fact, they pushed the two of them to the forefront!

Shen Qingyi suddenly clenched the chopsticks tightly.

Shen Jingnian held her hand tightly under the table with his sleeves hidden, shook his head slightly at her, then raised his head, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Your Majesty really upset us brothers and sisters. It was an unintentional act. It turned out that the head of Xuanwu Mountain wanted to marry my elder brother's smooth career and wanted to marry my third sister. My Shen family did not agree, so the thief felt revengeful. When I found out, my brother and sister cooperated internally and externally, making a plan to make everyone in Xuanwu Mountain kill each other.

"I'm ashamed to say that my brothers and sisters are just clever. How could they have wiped out the entire Xuanwu Mountain unintentionally like this? Your Majesty's praise, we two are really ashamed!"

Hearing this, Emperor Suiyuan couldn't help but smiled and nodded.

However, they suddenly heard a sneer, and everyone followed the prestige, and it was Liu Muzhi who laughed.

He was playing with the cup, and his smile was a little subtle.

When Shen Jingnian saw his expression, he was annoyed, and had the urge to punch him in the face.

If it was normal, he would have already put it into action, but at this moment in front of the empress, he naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only hold the wine glass and listen patiently to what fart he could let out.

Seeing Liu Muzhi raised his head, a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes scanned Shen Qingyi's face, and said: "This is strange, since he once asked for marriage, it can be seen that the bandit must be greedy, Miss Shen was captured Go, and destroyed the entire Xuanwu Mountain without any damage. This sounds like it would happen in a story. Just now His Majesty also said that this Xuanwu Mountain is burning, killing and looting. Take a look, could it be that there is something hidden in it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but have different expressions, and the eyes staring at Shen Qingyi also became ambiguous.

The meaning in Liu Muzhi's words was that Shen Qingyi must have paid something to be able to bring down the entire Xuanwu Mountain. If it wasn't for betraying his appearance to buy off the people of Xuanwu Mountain, the Shen family might have colluded with Xuanwu Mountain.

No matter which one, the reason for the destruction of Xuanwu Mountain is not that simple, but when everyone present looked at Shen Qingyi's beauty, and then thought of the grandson of Taifu Shen Lin on weekdays, they were naturally more inclined to guess the former, and couldn't help but Embracing the desire to watch a play, she wondered how Shen Qingyi could prove herself.

Shen Jingnian couldn't help being furious when he heard the meaning behind his words, and was about to explode, but was pulled back by Shen Qingyi who was beside him.

She stood up gracefully.

However, instead of eagerly proving himself as everyone expected, Shen Qingyi just sneered.

She glanced at the crowd calmly, and said: "To tell you the truth, just as Mr. Liu said, the bandit from the Xuanwu Mountain once wanted to marry me, but just now my brother also said that it was not me that the bandit leader took a fancy to." My face, but the Shen family behind me.

"When I was on the captive mountain, I saw two leaders in the bandit den that day, and I thought, since the bandit leader's favorite is the Shen family and not me, it can be seen that what they need is to rely on officials as their backing. Then of course they won't treat me until they get what they want, so I used this matter to divide the two, and if I found out that the two people were at odds with each other, I would deal with it again and put the trust between the two together. A differentiation.

"In order to save me, my brother had already taken the opportunity to sneak into Xuanwu Mountain, and seized the time to use a large number of bombs to blow up the mountain, making one of them think that the other was murderous, so the relationship between the two completely broke down.

"As for my brother and I, we managed to escape from the civil war, and returned to the capital safe and sound."

Her words were extremely ingenious, she not only put aside the secret collusion between the Shen family and Xuanwu Mountain, but also told everyone in a disguised form that she had never lost her life, and integrated the true ins and outs of the whole matter, even Liu Muzhi was speechless.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly praised Shen Qingyi's ingenious answer, and Chu Zhengyue even raised the corners of his lips and smiled silently.

Hearing the word "explosives", Liu Muzhi thought of what he suffered from being dumb under Chu Zhengyang's subordinates that day, and couldn't help clenching his teeth in annoyance, shaking his sleeves and saying, "What nonsense! Let alone where you got so many explosives , I heard that a few days ago Miss Shen San claimed that she was temporarily staying at Miss Yuan's house, why did she say that she was taken away in those few days today? If you have no ghosts in your heart, why did you hide it by staying at Miss Yuan's house?"

The smile on his lips was very confident, thinking he had caught the biggest loophole in Shen Qingyi's words, but as soon as he finished speaking, everyone became strangely quiet.

His smile just froze at the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Wanning held her chin and said casually: "Hey, this is strange. Ayao is just a boudoir girl. It is common for outsiders to have no news for a few days. What's more, I have never said that Ayao lived in my house. I don't know why Mr. Liu is so concerned about my family and Ayao's family? Mr. Liu secretly inquired about my marriage with the eldest son of the Shen family. You all know, could it be that Mr. Liu has a different heart for me and A Yao?"

Liu Muzhi muttered for a long time, but could only utter one sentence: "Nonsense!" Then he was speechless, unable to say anything.

Everyone Liu Muzhi couldn't help but gloat over his defeat, Prince Dingxi laughed and said, "I heard that Mr. Liu and Miss Shen didn't get along very well. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that the rumors are true.

"I just don't know why Mr. Liu pays so much attention to a young girl from the Shen family? I don't know the reason why Mr. Liu would like to explain it to us?"
