Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 165 Reconciliation (Fourth Update, Supplement)
The night was dark, and there was still a trace of heat in the wind.

A candle burned quietly, and the swaying light lengthened the person's shadow.

Shen Yanchuan was sitting in front of the table, a young man in black clothes knelt on one knee and presented the file.

"Master, this has just been found out. Please take a look at it."

Shen Yanchuan lowered his eyes, and the lines of writing on them were all testimonies.

It is indeed not easy to ask something from the mouth of a dead soldier, but to Xi Su who is used to doing this, it is not a big deal.

Shen Yanchuan flipped through the pages.

"well done."

Xi Su said: "In addition to the three dead soldiers who were brought back by us, the bodies of two others were found in Wulan Mountain. They must have known that the matter was exposed and directly chose to commit suicide. However, judging from the traces on that day, at that time, There should be six people ambushed in the forest, which means that there are still three people whose traces have not yet been found."

Shen Yanchuan's comparison is not surprising.

"Even though he is a dead man, he still wants to live."

The rest of them were probably just trying to find a chance to escape Wulan Mountain's blockade and save their lives.

"Let them keep looking, life or death."

"Yes!"

Suddenly, Yuncheng's voice came from outside: "Master, Master Zhao wants to see you."

Shen Yanchuan put away his things and said, "Go down first."

Xi Su bowed his head in response, turned around and left.

Shen Yanchuan stood up.

……

This was Zhao Hanguang's first visit to Dingbeihou Mansion, so he was a little cautious.

After the servant served a cup of tea, he retreated, leaving him alone.

When the tea was half drunk, Shen Yanchuan finally appeared.

"Master Zhao."

Zhao Hanguang turned his head and immediately stood up and saluted: "I have met the Crown Prince."

Shen Yanchuan raised his hand: "Master Zhao, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down."

As he spoke, he sat down at the head seat, followed by Zhao Hanguang.

Shen Yanchuan asked: "Mr. Zhao came here late at night and I don't know why?"

Zhao Hanguang looked a little embarrassed.

"This... I heard that the prince had an accident, so I thought of coming to visit. I hope the prince will forgive me for disturbing you."

Shen Yanchuan smiled: "I am fine, thank you Mr. Zhao for your concern."

Zhao Hanguang originally thought that Shen Yanchuan would continue to ask why he didn't come during the day, but chose this time instead. After waiting for a long time, Shen Yanchuan had no intention of speaking.

He couldn't sit still.

"...Aren't you curious, why did the minister come at this time?"

Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows lightly: "Master Zhao wants to keep a low profile, so it's normal to choose this time."

Zhao Hanguang suddenly felt ashamed and lowered his head.

"This, this... The son of the world sees the fire so clearly, it is my humble minister who is dull."

It is true that no one else knows about his coming to the Beihou Mansion.

"You are kind to me. Now that you have encountered an accident, it would be too heartless for me to ignore you. It's just, it's just..."

He couldn't say the rest, but both parties knew it.

He is still Xiao Chengxuan's person, so what's the deal with Shen Yanchuan?
Shen Yanchuan nodded and didn't mind: "Master Zhao has Mr. Zhao's consideration."

Zhao Hanguang felt even more guilty.

He clasped his hands, hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Is it because of the good offices of the son that I can keep the position of Guanglu Temple Minister?"

It's a smart one.

Shen Yanchuan's tone was calm: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. You have done your duty in the past few years, and His Majesty's heart is like a mirror. If not, it will be in vain for others to help."

Zhao Hanguang pursed his lips.

Shen Yanchuan downplayed it like this, as if it was just a trivial matter, but he knew very well that it was definitely not that simple.

With such a big disturbance this time, according to the temperament of the Second Highness, he will definitely be abandoned directly.

In fact, he himself had already made preparations for this.But he didn't expect... Shen Yanchuan actually helped him in the end.

"Your Majesty is so kind, I will keep it in my heart."

Shen Yanchuan picked up the tea cup, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and asked half-jokingly: "Master Zhao has always valued love and righteousness, but this often puts himself in trouble. Regarding Wulan Mountain, Master Zhao should also I have heard about it. I wonder if Mr. Zhao wants my son to live or die?"

Zhao Hanguang suddenly raised his head and denied subconsciously: "Absolutely impossible!"

He got up immediately, with a determined look on his face: "Why would this humble official expect something to happen to the son? Isn't that a wolf-hearted dog, not as good as a pig and a dog!?"

Shen Yanchuan just looked at him indifferently, his eyes were calm and calm.

The surroundings became quiet, and the air seemed to be condensed.

Zhao Hanguang froze all over, his expression tangled.

Of course he knew what Shen Yanchuan meant - Xiao Chengxuan had secretly killed him many times, and the two of them had long been on the same page, with no possibility of reconciliation.

But he is Xiao Chengxuan's man, so to say this to Shen Yanchuan in person is really...

Zhao Hanguang opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh.

"...Wei Chen is being rude, just pretend you haven't seen me tonight!"

He gave a long bow.

Shen Yanchuan suddenly asked: "So, you didn't mind when he sent people to Tianlao to kill you and silence you?"

Zhao Hanguang paused.

He was silent for a long time, and finally let out a wry smile.

"Wei Chen's life belongs to His Highness the Second Highness. If you want me to die, I have to die."

Shen Yanchuan didn't speak.

Zhao Hanguang took a deep breath, turned around and left.

Just as he was about to step out of the door, the voice behind him came again.

"If I told you that it was his fault that time he saved you, would you still be so loyal to him?"

Zhao Hanguang turned his head in disbelief: "What!?"

Shen Yanchuan said: "Why do you think I came late?"

He took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"His dead man spit out a lot of things, if you are interested, you can take a look for yourself."

……

After half an hour, Zhao Hanguang left.

Yuncheng walked in: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao didn't take the carriage and left by himself."

Shen Yanchuan glanced at the sky.

"It's better to let him sober up on his own."

Yun Cheng nodded, "It's late at night, do you want to go to bed earlier?"

After Shen Yanchuan took a few steps, he remembered something again.

"What's going on over there at Ye Heng?"

"He went to Prince Qi's Mansion today and stayed there for more than an hour."

"that's it?"

"For now, I haven't seen him do anything else."

Shen Yanchuan said: "Keep an eye over there. If there is any situation, report it immediately."

Yun Cheng understood: "Yes!"

……

Ye Chutang stayed at home for two days, and his injury gradually improved.

Early this morning, the four siblings had breakfast together, and Ye Chutang proposed to go out for a walk.

"Ah? Isn't this not good? Sister, your injury is not fully healed yet!" Ye Yunfeng was the first to disagree, "When can you not go shopping in the capital? When you are better, sister, I will accompany you -"

"You can't be idle, you have to go with me." Ye Chutang called his name, "There are also Ah Yan and Xiao Wu."

She lifted her chin.

"I've finished reading these fake account books. The weather is fine today, so I just went to the shopkeepers to reconcile the accounts."
