Solitary pet

Chapter 264

Shen Mao was startled slightly, his eyes became deep, he glanced aside, and suddenly turned around and asked Wei Jinzhi: "How sure are you that this will happen?"

Wei Jinzhi smiled: "Now that King Pingling is not here in the big city of Wangjing, what do you want to do?"

Shen Mao was awakened.That's right, he holds the defense army earned by Wei Jinzhi and the troops of the three surrounding Yunzhou cities. In the palace, there are Concubine Ru and Concubine Mu to support him, and Shen Hao is now thousands of miles away. not difficult.

Shen Mao lowered his head with a hesitant expression on his face.But, has it really reached the step of forcing the palace?

Wei Jinzhi smiled, as if he could see what was going on in his heart.Some things can't be forced, and can't be forced.With his sleeves behind his hands, he quietly walked outside the house.

Three days later, Wei Jinzhi returned to the palace to report on his duties.

The little eunuch in Zangshu Pavilion hadn't seen Wei Jinzhi for a long time, and knowing that he was a celebrity in front of His Highness the Third Highness, he called out from a distance: "Lord Wang." He bowed and took a cup of tea, and held it high above his head, inviting him to drink tea.

Wei Jinzhi took the tea and said humbly, "Eunuch, you are polite." He covered the lid of the tea with his hand, his fingertips were slightly warm, and he knew it was hot tea.The Zangshu Pavilion has never prepared hot tea, so it must be the nobles in the palace who came here.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Who is that from the pavilion?"

The little eunuch was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's the concubine who came, and she said she was looking for some Lotus Buddha Sutra." The little eunuch's voice became softer, and he approached flatteringly: "That one is very popular now. , I heard that my temper is not very good, my lord must be careful and avoid it if you can."

Thinking that he reminded Wei Jinzhi and gave him a favor, the little eunuch was very proud, and heard Wei Jinzhi whisper his thanks: "Thank you, Eunuch, for your words."

The little eunuch smiled and walked away in a hurry.

Wei Jinzhi took off his shoes and entered the pavilion. When Qu Zhongzhi, who was on duty at the front, saw him coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.Qu Zhong pointed directly at the floor and said, "I'm so good to serve you."

Wei Jinzhi bowed and accepted the order.

Pick up the corner of the light green robe, and go up from the second-floor pavilion. There is an escalator at the corner, which is slightly steep. Someone stretched out a hand on it. The lotus root is white and delicate, like white jade without flaws.

The woman's soft voice revealed a bit of respect: "Patriarch."

Wei Jinzhi glanced at her outstretched hand, then looked away, and went up with his robe.

Concubine Ru was taken aback for a moment, then withdrew her hand in embarrassment, lowered her eyes cautiously, not daring to meet him, and followed him to a dark corner of the book pavilion.

Wei Jinzhi turned around and deliberately lowered his voice, "Did you get the things?"

Concubine Ru nodded, and took out a small gold and jade box from her sleeve, "I got it."

He was not in a hurry to get something, but asked, "What's written on it?"

Concubine Ru shook her head, "Without the order of the patriarch, the slaves and servants dare not move and do not look at each other."

Wei Jinzhi waved his hands, and said in a calm voice, "Look first."

Concubine Ru hesitated a little, and took out a bright yellow imperial decree from the box.This is the imperial decree of the sage that the head of the family ordered her to find. She searched for the sage for three months, and finally, the emperor paid off, and she found it.

After a brief glance, his face changed, and then he returned to normal, "Everything is as the head of the family expected, and the saint wants to establish the Second Highness."

Wei Jinzhi nodded, and pointed to the pen and ink on the desk, "It's all ready, let's start."

It is to let her copy a copy.

When Concubine Ru was working as the secret guard of the Wei family, besides her face resembling Princess Jingning, she also had another unique skill - imitating human handwriting.After sending her into the palace, Wei Jinzhi asked her to secretly copy the saint's handwriting.Now, it has reached the point where the fake ones can be confused with the real ones.

At the end of the copy, Wei Jinzhi suddenly approached, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "One more sentence."

Concubine Ru's heartbeat stopped, and she asked in a low voice: "But according to the Patriarch's order."

Wei Jinzhi pondered for a moment, and then read word by word in a hearty and well-organized voice: "The third son of the emperor, Shen Mao, is cunning and has evil intentions. He was relegated to common people and sent to Tongzhou. He will never be allowed to enter Wangjing."

"Patriarch..." Rufei raised her head in surprise.

Wei Jinzhi moved away, looked out the window, raised his chin slightly, "If you want to add more, don't say more."

Concubine Ru lowered her eyebrows and said, "Yes."

Shen Mao entered the palace that night on the pretext of visiting Concubine Shu's sudden illness. After entering the palace where Concubine Shu lived, she stayed for a while and then secretly made a detour to Chengtian Palace.

Concubine Ru had just met Wei Jinzhi during the day, and before leaving Wei Jinzhi had an order: His Highness the Third Highness will definitely enter the palace to meet each other at night.Therefore, when he saw Shen Mao appearing at night, he was not surprised.

Shen Mao has no patience, any troubles can't be kept in his mind for three days.During the day, after Wei Jinzhi returned to the palace to report his duties, he came back and said, Rufei has something important to report.

So he came at night.The people in Chengtian Temple, except for Li Fuquan, have basically all been replaced by concubines. She has scheming and means, never provokes other concubines, and only focuses on their important affairs, so she is a good pawn.

Concubine Ru led him to the apse, and took out a gold and jade box from behind the bookshelf.

"It's an imperial decree. The saint hid it secretly, and I searched for it for a long time before I found it."

Concubine Ru carefully carried the gold and jade box over, Shen Mao held the box with both hands, a small box, but at this moment it seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

He was suddenly a little scared and didn't dare to open it to look.

I have always wanted to get the imperial decree, lest the name on it is not his.

Immediately, he quickly realized his fear, and somehow wanted to laugh.They have already come to this step, and all difficulties and dangers have been overcome. If they stop here, it will be a joke.

With trembling hands, Shen Mao finally broke the hidden lock on the box, and took out the imperial decree to read.

But he was wrong, his name was written on it - together with Shen Hao's, but, to Shen Hao, this was a purpose to settle the main purpose, but to him, it was a way to dethrone. Purpose.

Shen Mao was silent and did not speak. After a few seconds, he put the imperial decree back expressionlessly.

He turned around and said to Concubine Ru: "From now on, please take good care of my father."

Concubine Ru was taken aback, she did not expect Shen Mao to have such a reaction at all.Could it be that the Patriarch's conjecture is wrong, the Third Prince doesn't want to rebel?
Then Shen Maohan said in a cold voice: "The decree just now is not true. I heard that your mother has a good pen and ink. Please write a new one for me."

Concubine Ru raised her whole heart, thinking that he had seen through Wei Jinzhi's scheme, she didn't dare to go forward, dared not answer, and stood there in a daze.Until Shen Mao passed her by, he said: "The emperor of my dynasty, only the emperor's third son, Mao, can do this important task alone. Your empress must not copy the wrong one. The affairs of the previous dynasty are up to me and Your Majesty Wang is worried about the matter in the harem, with my concubine and you, our big event is just around the corner."

Concubine Ru breathed a sigh of relief, Luoluo saluted and replied: "Yes."
