Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 603: Breakthrough in the East Palace
Shen Luoxin was kicked out of the house by Xu Siniang.

She was carrying three large food boxes in both hands and was panting like a dog that was so tired from running all morning that its tongue was hanging out. Miss Ji happened to push the door open and come out. She yawned lazily and saw the yard. Shen Luoxin, who was inside, was so stunned that she forgot to take back the hand that was still raised on her head for a moment. After a while, she pointed to the three large food boxes she placed on the stone table, "Is this... a robbery?"

After all, she did look like she had been chased three streets during a robbery.

Shen Luoxin was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched, "Yes, so that you can have the hottest breakfast, I went to Xu Siniang's place to rob you before dawn! Why don't you come and eat? There's still Jingfeng. ? One by one, they sleep until midnight, eat tofu and can't even get a warm one... Come on, come on!"

The girl with her sleeves rolled up and her hips akimbo imitated her mother's scolding with a serious look on her face. As she spoke, she burst into laughter first.

Ji Wuyan looked at her weird look and was amused, so he followed her chatter and went down the steps, "Yes, yes, yes, I got up late today, and bothered Miss Shen to prepare breakfast. I really deserve death." , The crime deserves death! When the girl was robbing, was she chased by a vicious dog? I wonder if she was frightened? Can I ask Mr. Chen to check Miss Shen’s pulse? "

The girl who came over jokingly had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were obviously bruised. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night.Shen Luoxin's intention of joking and teasing disappeared instantly. She was silent and asked, "What are you going to do about Chaoyun's matter?"

Li Yuqi obviously came for Ji Wuyan, and Chaoyun was just a pawn he used to blackmail Ji Wuyan.But I have to say that this chess move is very effective. It is more effective than ambushes, assassinations, bickering, and provocations.

"One's own people" is Ji Wuyan's restricted area.

On the top of the food box was mung bean cake. Ji Wuyan poured a cup of tea, took a bite of the mung bean cake, sipped the tea, slightly drooped his eyes and thought to himself before saying, "Find the place where Chao Yun is imprisoned, pick the moon and the black wind." Gao Ye, put down the guards and go in to rob people."

This is the most direct way.

Chaoyun is in the hands of Li Yuqi, and he will have to suffer some physical pain if he can't protect him. However, no matter what he does, he is a little bit defensive, so he can only stabilize Li Yuqi first and find a way to get him out... By then, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth, and there will be hatred. Revenge comes with grudges and grievances.

She spoke calmly and softly, but spoke hard, and the lines of her cheeks were tense. It was obvious that this matter was far from as easy as she said.

Shen Luoxin waved her hand at the mung bean cake handed over, "I've eaten it before." She looked at Ji Wuyan again, sighed hesitantly, and finally said, "At my mother's side, I heard that One thing..."

"Ok?"

Ziqiu came over with glutinous rice porridge. Seeing so many pastries, he smiled and took a piece, "Mrs. Xu made it? Then go and ask Jifeng to come over... His favorite is Mrs. Xu's mung bean cake." As he said this, Le Hehehe went out to find Ji Feng.She was a maid, so it was naturally impossible for her to call Xu Siniang by her first and last name, but she also knew that Xu Siniang probably didn't like others calling her "Mrs. Shen", so she had always called her "Mrs. Xu".

When Xu Siniang heard such a title for the first time, she was almost happy for a long time. Later, when she talked about Ziqiu, she felt a little more fond of her.

Shen Luoxin looked back at the bouncing little girl, and suddenly felt that she understood Xu Siniang's mood of getting up to make these pastries before dawn.She looked at the three-layered pastries in the food box, sat down on the stone bench, and then said, "Last night at my mother's house, I heard about something. Shen Lewei had a big fight over Li Yuqi and Shen Dingtou. In the end, she ran away in anger... Of course, she had no money to live in an inn, and she was unwilling to live in an inn. This just fulfilled Li Yuqi's wish. In short... With one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer, Li Lewei has now lived in the East Palace. "After saying that, she slowly looked at Ji Wuyan.

Her eyes were different from Ji Wuyan's. The pupils looked lighter in color. When she looked at them against the light, they looked like the most magnificent amber.Seeing that Ji Wuyan didn't speak, she pursed her lips and said, "You...understand what I mean, right?"

The East Palace is heavily guarded. If Chaoyun is really imprisoned in the East Palace, the defense of the East Palace will only become more impregnable.No matter how high Cen Yan's martial arts skills are, it is impossible for him to go in and out of the East Palace again and again to explore Chao Yun's location... This is too dangerous and unrealistic.In this case, it is wiser to find a breakthrough than to go deep into danger again and again.

If the East Palace in the past seemed to be a piece of iron without knowing where the breakthrough point was... then in the East Palace at the moment, Shen Lewei was the weakest point on that iron plate.

When this girl first arrived in the East Palace, she was in the most excited and proud mood. In addition, she has never been very smart, reckless, and easily instigated. If you want to defeat her... than anyone else in the East Palace, are much simpler.

Shen Luoxin understands this, and so does Ji Wuyan.

only……

Ji Wuyan slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Shen Luoxin with the same expression, and reminded, "The prince was going to use Shen Lewei to deal with the Shen family. She is our opportunity and the prince's pawn... You, but Understand?" By then, after saving a Chao Yun and harming a Shen family, Ji Wuyan would not have frowned if this deal had been done before getting to know Shen Luoxin.But now...she feels it's not worth it.

It's not that Chaoyun is less important than the Shen family, it's just that the imbalance between gains and losses made her feel that she lost to Li Yuqi after just one move.

She doesn't want to.

"The Shen family is not a piece of fish to be slaughtered by others." Shen Luoxin shook his head and comforted, "I was worried about this until just now... But now I understand that Shen Dingtou has not been able to get to where he is today. The Shen family is not just a piece of fish that is left to be slaughtered on the chopping board. As long as we act more prudent and take a more thoughtful approach, it will make Shen Lewei look like he was really just bewitched and deceived by us. At that time, he will have made a mistake out of ignorance. Forget it, even if the prince intends to punish him, there is no reason to implicate the Shen family - after all, he didn't provoke this person himself?"

After saying that, he grinned, with neat white teeth.

Yan'er's bad appearance is a bit... like Shangguan Chu.Ji Wuyan raised his eyebrows silently. He always felt that Shen Luoxin had learned from his brother for so many years, but he didn't know his other abilities. With his bad appearance, he had learned the truth - and even planned to frame his concubine. Girls are so confident.

However, the truth is indeed the same...
