Fang Xu raised his head when he heard the sound, and the man was staring at him blankly.

Shen Ji stood stiffly under the Moon Gate, his face a little pale, holding a food box blankly, unable to even say a word.

"Shen Ji..." Fang Xu looked a little at a loss. He stood up slowly and called softly, "Why are you here?"

Shen Ji opened his mouth and said, "Send freshly baked snacks to Madam."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Ji suddenly paused. He had never thought that his voice would be so hoarse and unpleasant.

Su Zi and Bai Ji looked at each other and said cautiously, "Madam, the two of us..."

"Back off first." Fang Xu whispered, and then looked at Shen Ji standing alone at the door, "Come here and talk."

Shen Ji stepped forward, his movements as stiff as a puppet's, and walked to Fang Xu's side.

When Fang Xu saw him sitting down, he was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear everything?"

Shen Ji nodded and did not want to speak again.

Fang Xu looked embarrassed and explained softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to find out your life experience, but I became suspicious after seeing your mother's attitude that day."

"Madam is not wrong." Shen Ji lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, "Even if Madam doesn't check, I will take action."

After finishing his words, a look of self-mockery appeared on Shen Ji's face, and he said in a low voice, "It's ridiculous. After living for twenty-eight years, you don't even know who you are."

Fang Xu wanted to speak to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to follow his words and say, "What do you want to do now?"

"Continue to investigate, continue to explore." Shen Ji's eyes were dark and his tone was calm, "I just want to know who I am, and I don't care about the rest."

"I'll go with you."

Shen Ji's eyes trembled, and he subconsciously looked up at Fang Xu. Seeing her serious expression, he murmured, "Madam, are you really willing..."

Fang Xumei looked forward to it, and her eyes were filled with smiles, "Aren't we together?"

Shen Ji paused, not daring to think carefully about the meaning behind Fang Xu's words. Now that his identity was a mystery, he was even more unworthy of her.

Shen Ji looked at her, with a thought of retreating in his heart.

"Don't think blindly." Fang Xu seemed to see his hesitation, and the smile on his face deepened, "You are a dignified minister of the Secretariat, and you are highly valued by the emperor. How can you be a waste?"

Shen Ji's eyes trembled slightly, and after a moment he slowly lowered his head, as if helpless yet surrendering, "Madam is right."

"When you take a rest, I'll disguise myself and go together." Fang Xu raised his hand to pour tea for him, pushed the tea cup in front of him, and smiled softly, "Don't panic, there is still moonlight after the sun sets."

Shen Ji raised his eyes and looked at her with mixed feelings in his heart.

She didn't know that her world was dark and dark, so oppressive that it made people breathless. It wasn't until she broke in and a ray of light broke through the clouds that he could see clearly what the world was like.

After a long silence, Shen Jicai suddenly laughed and said warmly, "I originally wanted to mention the rumors in the capital to my wife, but I unexpectedly learned about my life experience, which cleared up my doubts. My wife is really my lucky star."

"Rumors?" Fang Xu caught the key point of his words and asked with a frown, "What did you find out?"

Shen Ji nodded helplessly, "Why bother to investigate in detail? King Runan doesn't even want to hide it, he keeps it all in plain sight." "This old man thinks that I can't do anything to him." Shen Ji lowered his head and sneered, his tone a little colder. "He has bought that hilltop, and I think he will make some moves in the near future."

Fang Xu found it funny and said slowly, "He is treating the other person the same way. He hates me for telling the disgusting things between his son and his aunt, and wants to join my army."

"It's a pity that the wrong person is destined to lose." Fang Xu thought for a moment and lowered his voice, "He thinks we can only swallow our anger, so we might as well show our strength to the prince."

Shen Ji raised his brows, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes, "Let Madam make the decision."

Yunyuan

"Miss." Zhutao opened the heavy curtain on the door, walked into the room, and whispered, "There was something unusual in the Runan Palace yesterday."

Xie Wanzhou held the pen in his hand for a moment, slowly put it down, and said quietly, "What did you find out?"

"Last night, the boy next to Yuan Tian went to the black market and stopped in front of a stall for a long time. After he left, the spies went over to ask, and then they learned that he bought some incense. Anyone who wins this incense will have two hours. There will be no further reaction."

Zhutao gritted her teeth and puffed out her face, "Miss, I think he might be here for you!"

Xie Wanzhou also lowered his face and said calmly, "Be more confident and leave the words "possible."

Zhutao was stunned for a moment, with a hint of crying in her voice, "Then what should we do?"

"My identity is different now, and I have to go to court every day. If he is determined to harm me, he can't hide." Xie Wanzhou narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Since I can't hide, it's better to give him to him directly. His opportunity."

"The King of Runan has provoked the Houfu many times because he is a royal relative. My mother is gentle and doesn't want to argue with him, but as a daughter, I cannot just watch my family suffer."

Zhutao pursed her lips, looking like she was hesitant to speak.

How did the young lady see that the madam has a gentle temperament, and how did she see that the madam did not want to argue with King Runan?

Xie Wanzhou didn't know how much of a filter he had put on Fang Xu, so he thought to himself, "If Yuan Tian dares to take action, it will be an insult to the court officials. Naturally, the emperor will not ignore it. At that time, he will also let you King Nan has a taste of the unrest in his family."

"Miss..." Zhutao exclaimed with a look of disapproval, "How can you follow Yuan Tian's wishes?"

Xie Wanzhou looked calm and said calmly, "A counselor can win a narrow victory by putting himself into the situation."

"But Miss..."

"Don't talk too much." Xie Wanzhou interrupted her and whispered, "I will go find my second sister-in-law later and ask her to send more people around me. If he makes a move, I will take action immediately. I will not let him go." Hurt me not a bit.”

Zhutao pursed her lips and said softly, "Yes."

As the sun set, Shen Jicai returned home. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Wen Mo standing outside with a bitter look on his face, aggrieved.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Ji frowned and asked in a low voice, "It's such a cold day. Why are you running out if you're not in the house?"

Wen Mo curled his lips behind him and whispered, "Sir, the master and the old lady are here."

Shen Ji paused, looked up into the hall, and saw the displeased faces of Father Shen and Mother Shen.

Shen Ji's heart sank, knowing that he couldn't escape, he walked slowly into the lobby and whispered, "Why are parents here free?"

Mother Shen's face was extremely pale, her eyes fell on him, and she spoke Yinchichi, "You came back so late, where have you been?"

Shen Ji lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Eating wine with colleagues outside."

"Lie!" Mother Shen stood up suddenly and shouted loudly, "I clearly saw you entering the side door of Yongcheng Houfu!"
