Yanlouchun

Chapter 14 Who Can Compete With Her
"My lord, how should we resolve this situation now?" Yan Lun asked with a frown.

Yang Shilin looked down at the tea in front of him, it was so full that it was at the same level as the surface of the cup, "The current situation is like this cup of tea, it is so full that it seems that there is no chance to bear a drop of water from the pot."

He carefully picked up the cup of tea with two fingers, but the water still overflowed.

"It seems to be full, but it is actually the easiest way to find a way to break the game at this time." Yang Shilin said.

Yan Lun thought for a while, but didn't quite understand what the adults meant, "What do you mean?"

Yang Shilin put down the tea and wiped his hands with a white cloth on the table, "Shen Zhiyun sent a message, let's check the relationship between Shao Xi and Gu Hanshu."

Yan Lun was shocked, "The two of them?"

Yang Shilin nodded.

"Is the news true?" Yan Lun asked again, his tone urgent.

If the Commander of the Imperial City Department had a personal relationship with Prince Wen Su, the division of imperial power in Beijing would have to be rethought.

"The news came from Yan Nan who is beside Shen Zhiyun." Yang Shilin gave him an affirmative answer.

"Let's not talk about whether Gu Shizi and General Xue are really connected. Even if there is, General Xue is far away in the vast sea, and the deployment of troops still needs to be controlled by the marching order in Beijing. But if he has a personal relationship with Commander Shao, the Imperial City Division is everywhere in Beijing. Your Majesty directly governs, without the influence of nobles, if there is such a friendship, Prince Gu will be in real danger." Yan Lun felt a chill in his heart, and felt icy cold along his internal organs.

Yang Shilin turned the glass of water on the tea tray, "Shen Zhiyun has played this game of chess so well, it is actually the easiest time to break the confrontation between the two parties."

Yan Lun frowned, "It's a bit more radical."

Yang Shilin laughed loudly, "This tea is not for everyone."

"I called you here today because I have something more urgent." Yang Shilin took out a booklet from under the cushion on the table.

Yan Lun took it, opened it and saw it clearly.

"Can't wait for tomorrow, you go directly to the palace to face the saint now." Yang Shilin ordered.

Yan Lun nodded, resigned and left.

Not long after Yan Lun came out of the palace, some internal officials went to the Imperial City Department.

Shao Xi personally took people to the Prince Gu's Mansion, and a mighty swarm of swarms captured all the actors who lived in the Prince Gu's Mansion a few days ago.

A group of actors, men and women were wailing at the door with their voices hanging, Si Wei of the Imperial City Division slammed down with his sword, and he was submissive.

Mrs. Gu's wife, Han Baoting, is as immobile as a mountain in the main house.

The close nurse was waiting at the side, and asked with concern, "Are these actors related to the prince?"

Han Baoting clasped the armrest of the bench, her fingers turned white with force, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, "The current situation is not related to Xiaoshu, but what else can it be related to?"

Mammy was surprised, "This group of people was sent by Princess Zhile!"

Han Baoting couldn't help feeling a little sad, "Zhile's mother Shuhua and I were close friends in our boudoir, but who told Zhile to be Li Guogong's daughter."

"The Duke is the empress dowager's nephew. Over the years, the empress dowager seems to be reclusive in the harem, but in fact, she often sits behind the scenes for important state affairs, and never delegates power."

A maid trotted in to report, "Ma'am, the prince is back!"

Han Baoting stood up and walked out, and the nanny hurried to follow.

Gu Dao saw Han Baoting walking towards him with an anxious expression on his face, coupled with the commotion outside the mansion when he returned to the mansion just now, he understood it in his heart.

"There are too many people in the yard, go back to the house and talk."

Han Baoting was afraid of offending Gu Dao, so she held back her words.

After entering the house, the nanny and the servant were waiting outside the door.

Han Baoting asked anxiously, "What other identities do those opera singers have? Why were they captured by the Imperial City Division in such a mighty way when Xiaoshu was imprisoned?"

Gu Dao took Han Baoting's hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, at least the day after tomorrow, Han Shu will be safe.",

Seeing that Gu Dao had a good idea in his heart, Han Baoting's hanging heart was slightly relieved.

"Let me ask you, are these people sent by Zhile to curry favor with you?" Gu Daola and Han Baoting sat down.

Han Baoting nodded, "Not only did she send people here, but she also watched several scenes with me. This group of people is from a famous team. I think that Zhile's child has good intentions and must have been plotted by someone. Let her do it." article."

"Zhi Le is naive, she was well protected by Li Linyuan since she was a child, it is impossible to use her to trip us up." Gu Dao said.

Han Baoting asked, "You mean, it wasn't the people from the Queen Mother's side who stopped you from sending troops to the Qing Dynasty? I also said that she married the Qing Dynasty because of Jing and the eldest princess, and she couldn't bear to put her daughter in danger."

Gu Dao shook his head, "Your Majesty's thoughts on Han Hai are vacillating now. If it was the Queen Mother's will, he should have made a decision for His Majesty long ago. I'm afraid it was Shen Zhiyun's method."

"How can that Shen Zhiyun be so unbearable at such a young age! Use Zhile to end the game for us." Han Baoting said bitterly, "My son used to be a classmate with him, so cold-blooded and heartless!"

Then he grabbed Gu Dao's sleeve and asked eagerly, "Who are the characters in those actors?"

"Someone has been sent to investigate." Gu Dao said.

"That's why we don't know yet. Now we are telling them they are hiding." Han Baoting's hand dropped.

"No, within two days, the game will be decided." Gu Dao said.

Han Baoting still couldn't help worrying, "I'm afraid that Xiaoshu will suffer in prison. The prison is full of hardships, and the death rage is so heavy. Xiaoshu was raised by Jingui since he was a child. How can he suffer like that."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, and Han Baoting raised her hand to wipe them away.

But Gu Dao disapproved very much, and snorted coldly, "Shen Zhiyun can be locked up, what can't be locked up in Han Shu, they are all at the same age and suffer the same hardships, the situation will be severe in the future, when you and I can't protect him, how will he behave himself? He is willing to be cruel to himself, but you are hurting him if you feel sorry for him."

Han Baoting still didn't want to face it, "That's the truth, but people's hearts are fleshy, so I can't control it."

In the backyard of the Shen residence, Zhen lived quietly.

The stewed medicine has a strong smell, and the strands seem to turn into solid shapes, covering the person's mouth and nose, trying to suffocate the person to death.

Nanny Gui went out from the room to urge the maid who made the medicine at the door, "Are you all right? Are you all right?"

The maid fanned the tinder, covered her mouth and nose with one hand and still couldn't stop coughing, "Nurse, don't be in a hurry, the medicine won't be ready for cooking, I don't know if it's medicine or poison."

Nanny Gui stomped her feet and slapped her thigh, "Old lady, I'm dizzy, you're right, don't be pushed by me, just watch for a while, and bring it in as soon as you're done."

Said and returned to the house.

This is the fourth bowl of medicine that Jiang Haishi boiled today.

Drinking the first bowl was still helpful, and I fell into a drowsy sleep for half a day, and then coughed up blood from my sleep. It was difficult to breathe, so I hurriedly finished drinking two bowls, and vomited after a while.

There's nothing I can do about it, I have to continue to boil and pour, and I have to drink it no matter how uncomfortable it is.

This is the emergency medicine prescribed by the doctor. Jiang Haishi has come here all these years. His body is weak and collapsed, and he often lies on the bed. After the snow, I never left the yard again.

The doctors all said that Jiang Haishi's death would take half a year at most and a month at least.

The servants were warned by Shen Zhiyun, so how dare they tell Jiang Haishi these things.

She thought that no matter how bitter and difficult to swallow those medicines, if she drank enough, she would still be able to breathe a sigh of relief and accompany her daughter to walk a difficult journey.

Nanny Gui feels sorry for Jiang Haishi, even though she is older than her wife, she can still control servants and scold ignorant people with anger, but Jiang Haishi can only waver like a leaf on a dead tree. No matter what wind blows, it will be so dangerous and weak that it will fall from the tree, maybe it will be the next moment.

"Ma'am, do you think the room is a little stuffy?" Nanny Gui walked to the bedside and asked.

Even after vomiting two bowls of medicine, some of it still entered the throat and played a role. Now Jiang Haishi still has the strength to speak, and she is willing to say something, something to prove that she is still alive.

She shook her head slightly and smiled weakly, "I can't feel it."

"I can't even hear your voice clearly now." Jiang Haishi spoke very slowly and his voice was not high.

She didn't need to say anything or do anything to comfort Nanny Gui, as long as Nanny Gui still had the energy to answer her questions, Nanny Gui felt a little more at ease.

"Where's Zhiyun? I haven't come to see me for quite a while." Jiang Hai's voice was only higher when he mentioned Shen Zhiyun, which showed that he was happy in his heart.

Bai Bian had come to inform Nanny Gui a long time ago, Nanny Gui could only prevaricate Jiang Haishi, "Young Master is now in court, but he is a celebrity beside His Majesty, who among young talents can compare to our Young Master. In terms of government affairs If you are busy, let's not bother him, the young master is filial, and he will come to our courtyard when he is free."

Jiang Haishi nodded, and grabbed Nanny Gui, "Help me to lie down."

Nanny Gui first took the extra pillow that was placed on Jiang Haishi's back, and then helped her to lie down slowly.

She leaned into Jiang Haishi's ear to speak, so that she could hear more clearly, and lowered her voice so that others would not hear, "Madam, don't worry too much about your son. As a man, you are the youngest son in Beijing. Auxiliary. As a woman, who can strategize in the court like a son, and drink with those men, how powerful it is, if one day the son can live as a daughter without punishment, all women in the world should Envy, this is a model that women all over the world admire."

"Ma'am, you gave birth to a good child!"

Jiang Haishi closed his eyes in relief, imagining Shen Zhiyun's handling of the paperwork, so he didn't want to see her so much, children have a wider world for children.

Outside the yard, on Aunt Jiang's side, "Is there something wrong with that person today?"

The maidservant replied, "I have taken the medicine from the pharmacy several times, and I can smell the smell of medicine through the wall."

"Does she know that her son is being imprisoned now?" Aunt Jiang rolled her eyes and had some plans in her mind.

"I don't know."

"You find a way to get this news to her ears, let's give her a strong dose of medicine." Aunt Jiang ordered.

She must make Shen Zhiyun feel bad.

The servant girl was puzzled, "How can I do it, Auntie, the eldest son's people outside the courtyard are watching, there is still a Nanny Gui who stays in the courtyard all day long."

"Let me think about it." Aunt Jiang thought.

"We definitely can't go. If Shen Zhiyun finds out later, he has great means, and if he can't fight, he needs to come in secret."

"Yes." Aunt Jiang's eyes lit up.

The maid leaned over and listened.

"Help me find a set of plain clothes, let's talk to the lord." Aunt Jiang ordered.

The maid replied "yes", but she still didn't know what Aunt Jiang was going to do.

The maid helped Aunt Jiang find a set of plain-colored simple notation clothes, and took off some bead rings, leaving only the plain-colored necessary hairpins.

"You go and prepare a bowl of soup, and follow me to see the lord."

The maid went to the kitchen to start a small stove again.

Shen Pingshan was in the study at this time, and Shen Zhiyun radically put himself and Gu Shizi into the imperial prison. He knew that although this was Yang Shilin's scheme, Shen Zhiyun was his son-in-law, so he couldn't trust Yang Shilin for everything.

He stood neutral in the early stage, but now he can only watch the fire from the other side. The prison is strict, he can't reach out, and neither can others.

"Master, Aunt Jiang is outside the door." Shen Pingshan's attendant Qian Jie opened the door and came in to report.

In order to stabilize her position in Shen Pingshan's heart, Aunt Jiang usually gave Qian Jie a lot of benefits, so Qian Jie was also willing to help Jiang.

"Auntie has prepared soup, do you want to see me?" Qian Jie asked.

Shen Pingshan really feels tired now, Shen Zhiyun and him are not close because of Shen Haishi, other people's father and son court, they all complement each other, and the family is happy and harmonious.He and Shen Zhiyun were incompatible at home, and the court had never heard of his arrangement. He went to stand in Yang Shilin's team by himself, and was promoted to the second assistant after his promotion.

High-rise buildings rise to the ground, with such a speed and such a status, there will be endless troubles in the future.

But what's the matter, the left and right don't listen to him, and now the official to the second assistant is even more lawless.

At this moment, he couldn't help feeling that Jiang's benefits were attached to him, so he was easy to obey.

These days, she is extremely sensitive to matters above the imperial court, because Jiang's affairs have also neglected her for a long time, so she should be given a chance to show off.

"Let her in, you step back first." Shen Pingshan said.

"Yes." Qian Jie went outside to invite Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang was holding a bowl of soup, plain hairpins and quick clothes, not the dazzling array of things in the past.

She put the soup on the table and took the initiative to stand behind Shen Pingshan and squeeze his shoulders.

"My lord has been exhausted recently, and I always stay in the study, and my concubine spends much less time with you."

There is a caring person who pinches Shen Pingshan's shoulders, so he is naturally comfortable.

"Why are you dressed so plainly today?"

The movements of Aunt Jiang's hands were slow, Shen Pingshan turned his head and saw Jiang's eyes filled with tears.

Aunt Jiang walked from behind Shen Pingshan to the side and knelt down.

Shen Pingshan was a little surprised, "What are you doing?"

I thought to myself, at this juncture, Shen Zhiyun is still locked in the imperial prison, it is absolutely impossible for the Jiang family to return to the power of the family. Before that, General Zhonglang's subordinates almost let him manage the Shen residence. The guard, his son fought with people on the street, and his daughter has not yet decided on a marriage. He has shown so many families, but he is unwilling to agree.

When will the matter of the second room be settled, and when will he give Jiang some more rights.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang shi opened her mouth, it was not such things.
"Because of all the things in the past, this concubine is ashamed to ask for the right to manage the mansion like you."

When Shen Hai's people leave, she will be the only hostess in this inner courtyard. At the old lady's age, who can compete with her.
