Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 19 Chu Wuhen is a Thief Again
Not long after Chu Wuhen left, new news spread from the palace.

Said that His Majesty has found a suitable candidate secretly, but because of his special status, he will not disclose it to the public for the time being. In order to protect that person, he only secretly got married and made an offering in front of the Buddha statue. If Princess Jianing can't wake up, that person can quietly reconcile with the princess and find a good relationship again.

As soon as the news spread, everyone praised His Majesty's sage and wisdom.

The emperor smiled nonchalantly when he knew about it, and casually released some news, which could make people feel that he was a good monarch, which shows that people's trust is nothing more than that.

And the biggest winner in this matter, Chu Wuhen, has hidden his achievements and fame, and no one knows that the so-called horoscope is actually his.

When the news reached Shen Hanyu's ears, he was sitting behind the table with a pen and calligraphy in a thin coat, and Qian Qi stood opposite him and repeated it very quickly.

"...The subordinates also heard that the person behind that is actually of extremely high status. His Majesty compromised in order to balance the power and agreed to conceal it."

Qian Qi frowned as he spoke: "The subordinates don't really believe in this. If they are really high-ranking, how could they agree to such absurd thing?"

Shen Hanyu paused the tip of his pen, hanging in the air, the freshly filled ink dripped down, leaving a little dirt on the paper, just covering the last line of the poem.

"...If you want to hang on the prefect of the article, you still sing the spring breeze of willows. Don't say that everything turns to nothing, and when you don't turn your head, it's just a dream (1)."

The smudged ink blurred the word "dream", making the poem unreadable.

Shen Hanyu stared at the few lines of words firmly. Originally, he was just passing the time reading a book. When he came across this poem by chance, he felt that the last sentence was a bit interesting, so he got up and practiced his calligraphy and copied the poem again.

Listening to Qian Qi's words at this time, and looking at this line of words, he inexplicably felt a sense of irony reflected in reality.

"It's all a dream when you haven't turned your head..." He muttered to himself.

When Qian Qi heard this, he stopped and looked at him suspiciously: "What did Shizi just say?"

Shen Hanyu came back to his senses, raised his eyes and looked at him: "It's nothing."

He grabbed the paper, rubbed it together and threw it aside, "Can you find out who that person is?"

Qian Qiwei wondered: "It's very important. Your Majesty has entrusted Jin Yiwei with full power to handle this matter. No one else has dealt with it at all. Our people can't touch it at all. The prince also knows that Jin Yiwei is of one mind, which is Chu Wuhen's words."

Shen Hanyu's eyes became colder, "It's fine if you can't find out, this matter has nothing to do with us, don't be watched by Jin Yiwei again."

"Yes." Qian Qi responded with clasped fists.

Shen Hanyu paused, and said in a low voice, "Go and find out what Princess Lande likes."

Qian Qi was taken aback, "Is this what Lord Hou meant?"

Shen Hanyu nodded, "That's what I meant too."

Qian Qi raised his head and took a quick look at Shen Hanyu, then lowered his head before he saw it, "Yes, this subordinate will do it now."

"Yeah." Shen Hanyu nodded, picked up his pen and continued writing, and Qian Qi left without having anything to do.

After leaving the door, he stood in the sun, but felt chills.

Although he has been by Shizi's side since he was a child and knows what kind of temperament he is, he is still surprised many times.

The son is excellent, self-disciplined, diligent and hard-working, he can be said to be the son of a standard family. In addition to his outstanding appearance, he is very popular with the noble ladies of Jindu.

But he never looked at others more, and he only wanted to approach that silly Princess Jianing. At that time, he was still fighting for his heir, and he didn't understand what he liked about the princess, until he found out that Shen Hanyu had given the things that Princess Jianing gave behind his back. After throwing everything into the warehouse, he suddenly realized that the prince only valued her status as a princess, and he just used her as a stepping stone on the way to ascension.

Now that the stone is no longer usable, it is replaced immediately.

Needless to say, this move is very decisive and smart, but also... very ruthless.

Qian Qi couldn't help but look back, the door of the study room was open, half of Shen Hanyu's body could be seen from this angle, his side face was hidden in the dark, delicate and cold.

He turned his head, looked at the dazzling sunlight, and couldn't help but want to ask, after all, he had been with Princess Jianing for so long, did Shizi really not be tempted for a moment?How can you be so resolute and indifferent?
……

The turmoil in the palace always comes and goes quickly, and the candidate for Chongxi has been found, everyone is curious for a while, and then gradually forgets it.

The Empress Dowager's illness improved, and she was able to get out of bed after two days of rest, and her face looked ruddy a lot. The emperor was happy, and rewarded a bunch of incense money to the eminent monks, and sent her back in good condition.

After Xie Shuangge found out, a big stone fell from his heart, and he became visibly happy.

But it didn't take long for her happiness to realize something was wrong.

These days, Chu Wuhen didn't know which muscle was wrong, so he no longer carried her with him at any time, and put the jade pendant far away when taking a bath, so he couldn't even see a shadow.

Xie Shuangge started to panic, "Could it be that he found something wrong with the jade pendant?"

This doubt made her fidgety and worried for a long time, always afraid that if she disagreed with Chu Wuhen, she would throw her off or find someone to rescue her.

But Chu Wuhen didn't, he didn't do anything, he just put the jade pendant on the dressing table, and didn't give him another look.

Xie Shuangge comforted herself again, maybe she didn't notice it, but she just didn't want to wear it anymore, it's nothing unusual.

She was lying on the dressing table, watching the light in the room gradually dimming, and watching the blackness climb up, she knew it was night, she slowly closed her eyes, and was about to sleep, but was suddenly grabbed by someone.

Xie Shuangge was taken aback, this long-lost feeling...

She looked up, and the big hand in her sight was also very familiar, it belonged to Chu Wuhen.

For some reason, he thought of the jade pendant again, and put her back on his waist. Before Xie Shuangge could get used to the spinning world, Chu Wuhen walked out the door quickly.

Looking at the gradually familiar scenery, Xie Shuangge gradually changed from being surprised to being numb and speechless.

The Commander, why did you run to her bedroom again?

You are really perverted like this, you know?
Seeing Chu Wuhen walk through the window and enter the hall with ease, Xie Shuangge sat down calmly, intending to see what kind of monster he wanted to be this time.

It's been a long time since I saw her, but her body is no different from last time, her complexion is ruddy, her skin is fair, she doesn't look like a comatose patient at all, as if she just fell asleep.

Chu Wuhen stared at her for a long while under the moonlight outside the window, and just when Xie Shuangge thought it was over and he was about to leave, his hand suddenly moved.

Xie Shuangge immediately perked up and stared closely.

The next moment, his hand landed on her skirt.

Xie Shuangge: "???"

what do you want!

Seeing his fingertips on the buttons, Xie Shuangge couldn't sit still, "Chu Wuhen, stop!"

She pounced on the jade pendant, the jade pendant trembled slightly, Chu Wuhen's hand paused, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

At this time, Xie Shuangge didn't care whether she would be discovered or what would happen if she was discovered. She just wanted to prevent this apprentice from molesting her body!

However, Chu Wuhen only paused for a while, and quickly and unswervingly unbuttoned her clothes, revealing the light pink little coat inside.

Xie Shuangge's face "hot" burned, and soon turned pale with anger.
