Not as beautiful as the uncle

Chapter 27

The hustle and bustle of the banquet in the palace gradually faded away. Chi Yu stepped on the square bricks, looked at the eunuch in front of him and asked suspiciously: "Why did Lord Hou want me to come out? Shouldn't he also be seated?"

The eunuch didn't turn his head back, bowed his body and said: "Young Master has lost his way, and it's inconvenient to sit in the table at this time, so I call the girl out."

That's it, Chi Yu didn't think much about it, after all, the palace is a solemn and solemn place, what kind of trouble can happen?
However, it turns out that she is simply too innocent.The palace road ahead turned a corner, and as soon as he walked over, there was darkness in front of him.

After the banquet, it was a good time to spend the afternoon. The stage was set up, and everyone kowtowed sunflower seeds, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

The young emperor sat in Shen Guyuan's arms, looked left and right, and suddenly whispered: "Uncle Huang, the elder sister beside you is gone."

"Yes." Shen Guyuan stared at the stage, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "I don't know where I went, after watching the performance, please send someone to look for it for me."

Want to watch the show first?The young emperor tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked towards the stage.

He couldn't understand the gaudy performances of the children of the aristocratic family, but seeing the reactions of the adults around him were quite fierce, he clapped along with him.

"Look at that! Isn't this the daughter of the prime minister's family?" Yu Youwei took the piano to the stage, and immediately someone shouted in a low voice.

Shen Guyuan looked at it indifferently, and saw that Yu Youwei was dressed in a beautiful concubine-colored body, her hair was exquisitely bunted, and a pearl was held in her hairpin, her whole face was shining.

"The little girl is showing her shame." Chao Youdi, or Shen Guyuan nodded slightly, Yu Youwei's eyes were arrogant and tender, and he sat down and put the Jiaoweiqin, and stretched out his hand to caress.

It was common for officials' daughters to present pianos. Shen Guyuan just watched with cold eyes, but his eyes sank when the first note of the piano came out.

Qing Lingling is like a bamboo forest after heavy snowfall, the wind blows even cooler, and the chill is unbearable. When the snow falls among the bamboos, there is a cool and cold fragrance blowing towards the face.

It is "Snow in Spring".

Yu Youwei is also a noble woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although there are some mistakes in playing this piece, her skills are much better than Chi Yu's. Everyone listened and nodded their heads in praise.

However, Shen Guyuan knew that this girl did it on purpose, deliberately wanting to use this song to overwhelm Ningchi Yu.

It took only a few days for him to teach Ningchi Yu to play "Yang Chunxue", but the news spread.Yu Youwei must have thought that Chi Yu was going to play this song at the birthday banquet, so she couldn't wait, and wanted to play this song before her, and let her work hard to waste it.

What a scheming girl, she is much better than his idiot, and I can't blame that idiot Chi Yu for losing to her.

Yu Youwei caressed very earnestly, and when the qin music came to an end, the smile in his eyes flew out uncontrollably.

She likes to steal things from Ningchi Yu, whether it's a song or a man, as long as it's good, it all belongs to her!
Want to surprise everyone with a song?Heh, she has been learning the piano much longer than her. If she played the same piece of music before, Ning Chiyu would play it again, it would be a disgrace to herself!In the same way, a man, as long as he has seen her attractiveness, he will regard Ningchi fish as dead wood!

At the end of the song, Yu Cong pressed the strings, Yu Youwei rolled his eyes, and looked down at the person holding the young emperor in the center of his head.

"Your Majesty, the little girl is showing her ugliness." Standing up to salute, her figure is graceful, her eyes are half-down, and the way she lifts her is full of affection.

Naturally, this seductive look was not for the young emperor who was only six years old.Shen Guyuan stared at her seriously, thoughtful.

Receiving the response from her gaze, Yu Youwei bit her red lips, stepped off the stage holding Qin in her arms, and asked Qing Lan to pass the note over.

Qinglan grabbed something and rubbed against Shen Guyuan, shyly shoved it to him and left.

On the fragrant paper, there is only one sentence on it: "The autumn flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right."

She doesn't ask him to go, and she doesn't show low attitude. Miss Shijia just refuses to welcome someone when she asks someone out, and she doesn't write her name.

There was a dark light in his eyes, Shen Guyuan flipped his fingers and put the thing on the table next to him, then whispered to the young emperor: "Your Majesty, I have to leave for a while."

The young emperor sat comfortably on the human flesh cushion, and he pouted when he heard the words: "Where is the emperor going?"

"Go to the toilet."

Reluctantly moving the little dragon's body away, the young emperor looked at him and said, "Uncle Huang, come back soon."

"Okay." Nodding in response, Shen Guyuan got up and walked out.

The excitement was all in the Yuqing Palace, and there was no one in the imperial garden, not even the guards patrolling.Shen Guyuan stepped into the depths of autumn flowers, and saw Yu Youwei when he raised his eyes.

"I thought you weren't coming." Biting her lip, Yu Youwei looked at him with resentment and joy, took two steps towards him, and slightly bent his knees: "Little girl, Youwei, I have seen the Third Prince."

Looking at her expressionlessly, Shen Guyuan didn't say anything.

The fastest way to develop feelings between a man and a woman is for one party to take the initiative. Right now, it is impossible for this old man to take the initiative. Yu Youwei was also prepared, holding Jiao Weiqin and handing it to him: "I heard that the prince is also the lover of the Aegin. Man, this Jiaowei is unparalleled in the world and priceless, but if it falls into the hands of others, it will be just a vulgar thing."

His eyes moved slightly, and Shen Guyuan opened his mouth: "Send it to me? If I remember correctly, this is a collection of the Prince of Mercy."

Yu You smiled slightly, and her eyes were a little lonely when she smiled: "Yes, the collection of the Prince of Mercy's Mansion can be regarded as the consolation that the Prince of Mercy gave me."

In the middle of the sentence, there was sadness in his eyes. At first glance, there were many stories, and people couldn't help but want to ask: "Aren't you going to marry into the palace? What do you say to comfort?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something." Yu You sighed slightly, and stepped forward among the flowers, which were beautifully reflected against each other: "That master's thoughts are hard to guess, and he said earlier that he wanted to marry the little girl, but later... regretted it, and let the little girl be raped." People laughed at him, but he was spotless."

Shen Guyuan stopped talking, and looked at her quietly with a pair of eyes, with a fierce red robe and white hair like snow.

Yu Youwei was distracted by the sight, and after a while he lowered his head and sighed, "Does the lord also feel that the little girl is dirty and despise the little girl?"

"No."

Yu Youwei was overjoyed when he got these two words.

She understands men very well, much better than Ning Chiyu.No matter how reserved a man is, he can't stand a woman's flirting with him, especially a beautiful, private and bold woman, if he sticks warm, fragrant and nephrite jade on it, as long as he doesn't push it away immediately, there will be something wrong.

This is how Shen Qihuai was hooked up by her, no matter how serious he is in front of others, he is just a man with desires in private.

It's just that the man in front of her, she didn't dare to be too pretentious, so she could only approach him tentatively, looked up at him pitifully and pitifully: "Really? Will the prince be willing to save the little girl from this fire?"

"How do you want me to save you?" Shen Guyuan asked her seriously.

The handkerchief was kneaded into a ball, Yu You whispered softly: "I don't dare to expect too much, as long as you can protect my little girl..."

"It's not difficult." Shen Guyuan nodded, turned around and walked out: "However, my apprentice and you have some quarrels, it's best to untie them first, so as not to make things difficult for me."

"Hey..." Yu Youwei quickly grabbed him, and asked with a blushing face, "Where are you going?"

"Chi Yu disappeared for a long time." Shen Guyuan said, "I'll look for it."

"Ah, I just saw her." Eyeballs rolled, Yu Youwei held him tightly, and said softly, "I'm playing outside with Young Master, it seems that we have a very good relationship, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh?" Shen Guyuan looked back at her: "Did you see it?"

"Yes." Yu Youwei said seriously, "I just saw it when I came into the garden."

As he said that, he asked tentatively: "Is the prince and your apprentice on good terms?"

"It's not very good." Shen Guyuan narrowed his eyes: "She was entrusted to me by a friend, and asked me to protect her well. I don't know much about the rest. I just heard her say that she has a grudge against the Prince of Mercy."

Eyes reddened by grievance, Yu You sighed slightly: "The lord is really a person of great promise. He defended her from hurting my daughter. My daughter still remembers it and often has nightmares."

Shen Guyuan frowned slightly.

Seeing his expression, Yu Youwei immediately changed his words: "I don't mean to blame you, but Chi Yu and Prince Mercy have some old grievances. My daughter is innocent. After all, she used to be a sister. It is really unfair to involve her. Already!"

This person is much more difficult to deal with than Shen Qihuai. After talking for a long time, she still hasn't seen her shadow in his eyes.But his attitude doesn't look like he's holding a grudge.Yu Youwei was very nervous, thinking about whether to retreat, when Shen Guyuan said, "It's my fault."

Ok?Yu Youwei's eyes lit up.

Shen Guyuan sighed softly, stretched out his hands to cover his eyes with a little annoyance, and said quite sincerely: "I have wronged you."

Receiving this sentence, Yu Youwei was overjoyed, rubbing the handkerchief and leaning on him, said softly: "Don't be wronged, as long as the lord understands me."

"This king still wants to go for a walk with you." Shen Guyuan let go of his hand, and glanced at the direction of Yuqing Palace with a slight frown on his brows: "It's just that your majesty is still waiting, if you don't say anything, I'm afraid you will cry with me It's messed up."

"This is easy." Yu Youwei hurriedly said, "Let Qing Lan go back and report."

After scanning around, Shen Guyuan nodded: "Okay."

Qinglan left, and there was no one around, Yu Youwei became more courageous, reached out and grabbed Shen Guyuan's hand, half ashamed and half smiling, said: "Your Majesty's hands are really beautiful, they don't have calluses like playing a piano or a sword."

"Do you want to know why there is no?" Shen Guyuan asked lightly.

Yu You nodded slightly: "Your Highness has a secret recipe?"

"Stand here and wait." Breaking away from her hand, Shen Guyuan said, "I'll bring you something."

"Okay!" Without doubting him, Yu Youwei happily watched him walk out of the imperial garden, with a little complacency in his eyes.

Ningchiyu, just watch, none of the men you want to rely on is reliable!

The drama in Yuqing Palace was coming to an end, Shen Guyuan walked slowly back to the emperor and sat down, took a sip of tea.

"Uncle Emperor?" The young emperor pouted and looked at him: "You have been away for a long time, and you didn't send anyone back to tell me."

Shen Guyuan smiled lightly, and arched his hands apologetically: "Your Majesty, calm down, the palace is too big, and I'm lost."

The Prince of Filial Piety next to him laughed when he heard the words: "If you get close to the young master Zhibai, is it possible that you don't know the way?"

All the princes laughed, and Prince Jing felt something was wrong when he smiled, and frowned, "It seems that Zhibai hasn't come to see the ceremony today."

When he mentioned this, a group of people came to their senses, knowing that the young Lord Bai hadn't shown up all day.

"Oops!" Shen Guyuan frowned, and stood up worriedly: "There are many forbidden places in the palace, if the young master goes to some place that he shouldn't go, it will be troublesome."

Prince Jing also got up, and bowed his hands to the young emperor: "Your Majesty, please allow me to take someone to look for it."

"Which place in the palace can let the prince lead people around?" Shen Qihuai next to him frowned and said, "Let Xuan Tong lead people to look for it."

Prince Jing frowned, but did not refute, after all, the imperial army was in charge of the palace.However, the eunuch passed on the word, and Xuan Xiaolei, the commander of the forbidden army, didn't show up for a while.

"What's going on?" Prince Xiao was slightly angry: "What day is it today? How dare the commander of the imperial army not be on duty?!"

"My lord, calm down." Commander Xuan's cronies knelt and cupped their hands: "Master Xuan took people to patrol the palace early this morning, and he did not neglect his duties."

"Early in the morning?" Prince Xiao pointed to the sky: "Take a look at what time it is now? The commanding officer of the Imperial Guard, who is not staying with His Majesty, has been patrolling the palace for a few hours? Is it plausible!"

The kneeling person fell silent, Shen Qihuai also felt strange, got up and said: "Today is His Majesty's birthday, we must not be disturbed by these trivial matters. How about this, this king and Prince Jing will take people to look for it, and the rest will continue to accompany His Majesty."

"Okay." Prince Jing led the people away, Shen Guyuan didn't object, watched them leave, and continued to watch the big show with the young emperor in his arms.

"Uncle Emperor." The young emperor was a little uneasy: "Is something wrong?"

"No big deal." Shen Guyuan hooked his lips: "The biggest thing in the palace is just the safety of His Majesty."

The young emperor nodded in understanding.

It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and Chi Yu woke up in a daze, feeling that his hands and feet were bound and unable to move.

A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, Chi Yu opened his eyes wide and twisted his body in a panic.

"Don't move." Shen Zhibai's voice sounded beside him, and said in a low voice: "We have been arrested."

Ok?Chi Yu turned his head and blinked hard to see the little master in the dark, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Shen Zhibai pursed his lips and was about to speak when he heard the door open and another person was pushed in.

"Ah!" Yu Youwei couldn't stand still, and was pushed hard and fell to the ground.His hands were bound and he couldn't support himself, and his face directly hit the rough ground.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Youwei felt her face was burning hot, she thought she was scratched, she burst into tears, turned her head and shouted at the person who pushed her in: "Bold! I am the daughter of the prime minister's family, how dare you treat me like this?" I don't want to live anymore!"

The voice was so loud that Chi Yu and Shen Zhibai frowned.

The people outside snorted coldly, and didn't mean to talk to her at all, and closed the door with a "slap".

Shen Zhibai sneered: "Miss Yu is really smart, she knows how to use her identity to scare those desperate people."

Hearing the irony, Yu Youwei turned his head suddenly: "Young Master?"

In the darkness, she couldn't see the human face, but Shen Zhibai said again: "What a coincidence, Miss Yu will be tied up too."

Shen Zhibai was also tied up?Yu Youwei managed to calm down a bit, and frowned, "Your Majesty, do you know what's going on? The little girl was standing well in the imperial garden, but she was tied up all of a sudden!"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Shen Zhibai sneered: "These people are so capable, they completely treat the Imperial Guards as nothing, and tied me from the palace road. I don't know what to do."

Forbidden Army?Mentioning this, Yu Youwei remembered, this was her idea, while dragging Shen Guyuan, someone caught Ningchi Yu and killed him in the cold palace!This cold palace is huge and there are countless bones. They have arranged it in advance and it is absolutely foolproof!Moreover, even if something goes wrong, there will be Xuan Tong leading the charge, and it will not be a problem to say that there are thieves entering the palace to commit murder.

But, how did you get her in?
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Yu Youwei hurriedly shouted outside: "Let me out! I am the first daughter of the Prime Minister's family!"

"You were the one who caught it." A voice outside the door said sinisterly, "Just wait for death, Miss Yu."

Shocked, Yu Youwei's eyes widened.

How could this be?It's all right, how could you want her to die instead?

Something is wrong, something must be wrong!
Eyeballs rolled quickly, Yu Youwei thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "I see!"

"Huh?" Shen Zhibai looked in her direction.

Yu Youwei said bitterly: "Ningchiyu is the only one in this world who can't get along with me, she must be behind the scenes!"

"Oh?" Shen Zhibai glanced at the silent Chi Yu next to him, with a half-smile: "That's right."

"Young Lord, don't be fooled by her!" Yu Youwei frowned and said, "Ningchiyu is a vicious person, a prodigal and vulgar person. First he got into the bed of his third uncle, and then he seduced the third prince to deal with me. Then he hooked up with her Marquis, I want you to be the knife in her hand too! Marquis, you must see clearly, don't be fooled by appearance!"

Shen Zhibai was silent for a while, then lowered his head and asked the people around him: "Chi Yu, what do you think?"

In the darkness, Ning Chiyu sneered and said, "I think Miss Yu is right, Lord Hou must see clearly, don't be fooled by appearance."

Hearing her voice, Yu Youwei flinched in fright, his face couldn't hold back immediately, embarrassment tightened: "Why are you here?!"

"Thanks to Ms. Yu's care, I was arrested." Yawning, Chi Yu said lightly: "People's hearts are unpredictable in this world. A cute and charming little girl is born with an extremely sinister heart. It's strange that Shen Qihuai didn't see clearly, even I, didn't I see the original shape now?"

Yu Youwei fell silent, there was no benefit for her to continue arguing with Master Xiaohou.But she was really puzzled, since Ning Chiyu was also caught, why is he still alive?It's fine if you don't die, why did you arrest the little lord and yourself?
What the hell is going on out there?
Just as he was thinking, the door that had just been closed was suddenly kicked open again.

"Zhibai!" Prince Jing's voice sounded from outside, and the light came in, and the scene in the whole hall was clear at a glance.

Trapped together, Shen Zhibai and Chi Yu were in a bit of a panic, beside him was the prime minister's daughter, her face was bruised, and the three of them couldn't adapt to the light, so they squinted their eyes and looked at him for a while.

"Father!" Shen Zhibai called out.

Prince Jing hurriedly came up to untie him himself, and said while loosening, "It's ridiculous that he would be tied up to this kind of place! If someone hadn't witnessed it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find him!"

As soon as the hand was loosened, Shen Zhibai immediately went to untie Chi Yu, looked at her wrist which was in good condition, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily: "How could such a thing happen in the forbidden palace! The thief tied me up just now. Come here, there is not a single imperial guard stopping us all the way!"

Of course, no forbidden army stopped him, because he never met the forbidden army at all.But Shen Zhibai didn't intend to say this sentence.

Prince Jing was furious, and waved for people to untie Yu Youwei, and then led them to Yuqing Hall.

The lively birthday celebration had just ended, and everyone was still chatting and laughing. Shen Guyuan turned his head and saw Shen Qihuai coming back first, and said frowningly, "No one was found."

"How could this be?" Prince Xiao frowned: "Where is Prince Jing?"

"He and this king split up to look for it, and now I don't know where to find it." Shen Qihuai pursed his lips: "But this king has asked everywhere, and no one..."

"Found it!" Prince Jing's voice suddenly broke in, interrupting Shen Qihuai's words.

Shen Qihuai looked back in a little surprise, and saw two rows of imperial guards leading three people coming behind Prince Jing.

"Your Majesty!" Prince Jing's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and he came up to salute, and said angrily: "It's unbelievable that thieves come and go in and out of the forbidden palace like no one else!"

"What's going on?" Prince Xiao looked at the people behind him: "The daughter of the Yu family, the young master, Miss Chiyu?"

"One is the concubine's daughter of the prime minister's family, one is the marquis of Prince Jing's mansion, and the other is the lover of Prince Renshan." The loyal prince behind frowned: "They are all people of status, why are they in such a mess?"

"Minnv doesn't know." Chi Yu frowned, and was the first to speak: "Minnv just heard people say that Lord Hou is looking for Minnv to go out, so the eunuch left with the rumor that anyone who wanted to walk halfway would be covered by someone." There was smoke in the sack, and the girl was shut up in a dark room when she woke up."

Shen Zhibai said displeasedly: "I don't know who falsely spread my meaning, I haven't found out where the Yuqing Temple is at all, why do I want to meet Miss Chiyu?"

"Then how did you get tied up?" Prince Jing turned around and asked.

Shen Zhibai said: "I was on the way to Yuqing Hall, and I was suddenly tied up. Those people dragged me away without any explanation. I didn't know the direction. When I realized it, I saw Miss Chiyu in the dark room. sleepy."

"Can you kidnap people blatantly on the palace road?" Prince Xiao said with a serious expression, "Are all the forbidden soldiers dead!"

Yu Youwei covered her face and dared not speak, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she couldn't help but glance at Shen Qihuai.

Shen Qihuai also felt it was weird, Commander Xuan was not a person who didn't know how to measure, so it was absolutely impossible for him to do such a ridiculous thing.He tied up Chiyu early in the morning, so it should be resolved early, and he should continue to stay with His Majesty when he comes back. However, Commander Xuan didn't show up for a day.

Is it?

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Shen Qihuai immediately said: "I don't know what happened today, Commander Xuan, and he has never shown up. He has neglected his duties and should be punished. But the most important thing right now is to track down the culprits."

The four princes all nodded, Shen Guyuan came back with Chi Yu to look at it, and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Chi Yu shook his head and looked at him strangely: "No, they just tied me up and left."

"Yeah." Shen Guyuan patted her head: "Then just stay here and don't talk."

Feeling a little weird in his heart, Chi Yu responded blankly, pulling his sleeve and standing behind him.

A group of important ministers and princes began to reason, and while sending people to inspect the palace, they discussed the issue of responsibility.

"Xuan Tong has been guarding the palace city for three years, and there has been no trouble. There are too many people entering the palace today, and he doesn't want to have such an accident. Besides, the three of them are all fine, so the punishment shouldn't be too heavy." Shen Qihuai said: " A fine of two months' salary, a few blackjacks, and a long memory will suffice."

"Then how?" Prince Xiao stared: "Miyagi is the most important place in the whole country. Xuan Xiaolei shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting His Majesty. How can His Majesty sleep peacefully if he neglects his duty so much?"

"That's right. When the first emperor was in power, it was stipulated that the commander of the imperial army should be changed every three years. Commander Xuan has been in this position for three years, so he should have resigned. Now that he has made a mistake, he just needs to be replaced." Jing Jing said the prince.

Shen Qihuai was silent, his eyes were indifferent, as if he didn't consider this proposal at all.

Xuan Xiaolei was the one he single-handedly pulled up. The imperial army is the throat of the imperial city. This throat must be held in his hands. No matter what anyone says, it is useless. As long as it is not a big mistake, he will not easily abandon Commander Xuan.

A group of people came and went and started arguing, Shen Guyuan looked at a certain place quietly, with a captivating smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chi Yu looked at him suspiciously, followed his gaze, and saw a group of guards helping a man towards this side.

"Report! Commander Xuan has been found!"

The noise stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their heads one after another, only to see Xuan Xiaolei limping over, his face full of embarrassment, kowtowing on his knees.

Prince Xiao frowned and asked, "Commander Xuan, where have you been?"

"My lord, the humble officers met the commander near the cold palace." The deputy commander of the forbidden army cupped his hands and said, "All the people brought out by the commander in the morning were there, but I don't know what happened to them, and none of them said a word."

Near the cold palace?Prince Zhong said in a deep voice: "Then the vicinity is not a place where you can go to inspect, can Commander Xuan explain it?"

Xuan Xiaolei looked at Shen Qihuai with a guilty conscience, the latter frowned slightly and shook his head slightly.

"Humble job... Humble job is leading people to patrol today, and I accidentally walked to the vicinity of Lenggong." Swallowing his saliva, Commander Xuan bite the bullet and said: "It's just that I was delayed there for some reason, and I couldn't get out no matter how I walked."

"Really?" For this statement, Prince Xiao obviously didn't believe it, and turned to look at Shen Qihuai: "My lord, I think this matter is related to your majesty's safety, so I will definitely investigate the ins and outs."

Shen Qihuai said: "Uncle Huang wants to investigate. Naturally, I have nothing to say. It's just that the Forbidden Army in the palace can't be unmanned. Let Commander Xuan stand trial at his own liberty. The palace still needs him."

How can there be a trial or a free body?At least you have to go to Tingwei Yamen to close it for a few days, right?Prince Xiao was very dissatisfied, but there was indeed no shortage of people in the palace, so he could only reluctantly agree to let the Tingwei lead people to search.

It was a good birthday banquet, and people were panicked by this episode, but when he left the palace, Shen Guyuan was in a good mood, holding a Jade Guanyin in his hand, and his eyes were full of interest.

"Master." Chi Yu got into the carriage and said seriously, "Does what happened in the palace today have anything to do with you?"

Shen Guyuan didn't raise his head: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Of course not!Chi Yu narrowed his eyes: "The only ones in the palace who can attack people without being noticed by the Forbidden Army are members of the Forbidden Army. What kind of enmity can I have with the Forbidden Army? It can only be instigated by Shen Qihuai. But they all caught me, why? Didn't you kill me right away, dragged on for a few hours, and brought Master Zhibai and Yu Youwei along?"

Shen Guyuan chuckled: "You react quickly."

Hearing this, Chi Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "You really made it?"

"That's not true." Shen Guyuan squinted at her: "The person who arrested you in the morning was indeed Xuan Xiaolei. He prepared for a long time, including how to seduce you, how to move to the cold palace after being caught without being found, and what to do after that." How to deal with the aftermath must have been properly arranged."

Slightly taken aback, Chi Yu's eyes widened: "So ruthless?"

"Isn't it? Fortunately, I know that Master Bai is smart." Putting down Yu Guanyin, Shen Guyuan sighed and said: "He received the news and knew that you were in trouble, so he went to rescue you at the risk of his own life."

Ok?Chi Yu tilted his head: "Did he go there to save me?"

"Otherwise, why do you think that group of people failed to kill you?" Shen Guyuan said solemnly, without blushing, "It's because Master Bai has gone and trapped all of their people in the cold palace. Then pretend to be yourself He was also tied up, so that the commander of the imperial army could not eat and walk around."

At first it sounded quite logical, but after thinking about it carefully, Chi Yu sneered: "Master, do you think I'm stupid? How could the young master trap so many people by himself? What's more, Yu Youwei was also arrested later. gone."

"Who told you that the young master is alone?" Shen Guyuan sneered, "Dignified master, there are not many helpers around him? There are a few guards at the east gate in the imperial army, who happened to be favored by him, so they came to help .”

What a coincidence?Chi Yu thought for a while: "Then why did you tie Yu Youwei?"

"Because the pressure from me and Prince Jing's mansion alone is probably not hot enough to make Shen Qihuai hold back against Commander Xuan." Shen Guyuan said: "Adding a prime minister's mansion, it's just right."

Chi Yu shook his head: "Yu Youwei won't make things difficult for Shen Qihuai, the two are on the same boat now."

"That's not necessarily true." Shen Guyuan snorted softly, "A woman with a hurt face has a very temper."

This is not wrong, Yu Youwei has always loved beauty, but this time her face was bruised, and a large scar formed, which made her burst into tears.

"What's going on!" Madam Yu was beside her, more anxious than she: "You girl, you have a bad reputation now, and if you hurt your face, how can you enter the palace of compassion?"

"Do you think I'm thinking about it?" Yu Youwei yelled angrily, "Ghost knows why they would catch me too, they clearly agreed to only catch Ningchi fish!"

Madam Yu thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Could it be that you were deceived by the prince?"

It sounds nice, what will definitely come to marry her, but how long has it been?She didn't say anything about the marriage, and she always put her in danger. Where is the sincerity?

Yu Youwei was stunned, pursed his lips and shook his head: "No, Qi Huai won't lie to me."

"Silly girl!" Madam Yu said earnestly, "Look at how good he was with Ningchi Yu before? Didn't he just abandon her now? With such a man, do you really expect him to treat you sincerely?"

"He will not abandon me." Yu Youwei said firmly: "This is his critical moment, he needs the help of the Prime Minister's Office, and he will never abandon me."

"Even if you don't throw it away, if you rush to give it to others, they won't think you are precious." Madam Yu shook her head: "How many times have I told you that men are so cheap, you have to leave him alone. Let him chase you back, or he won't cherish it."

Shen Qihuai really needs the help of the Yu family, but he has a lot of help, and it is not necessary for the Yu family right now, so the marriage with her has been delayed again and again.Even when she proposed to drag Shen Guyuan by herself, Shen Qihuai didn't respond, as if he didn't care about her at all.

That does not work.Touching the scab on her face, Yu Youwei's eyes darkened.

On the second day in Prince Renshan's Mansion, Chi Yu was happily eating the mushroom chicken cooked by Hao Chef, when Su Ming suddenly heard Su Ming running in and saying, "Master, the Tingwei Yamen has opened the trial."

"So fast?" Shen Guyuan squeezed the handkerchief and wiped the corner of Chi Yu's mouth in disgust, without raising his head, he said: "Is there any evidence?"

"Yes, the Tingwei Mansion got physical evidence from somewhere last night. It was reported early this morning by many guards in the palace for interrogation. Now that there are all the physical and personal evidence, Xuan Tong will be taken over."

Swallowing a mouthful of delicious chicken, Chi Yu blinked and said: "Shen Qihuai has always been flawless in his work, so there are so many tricks coming out?"

"He used to do things with you, no matter what happened, you wouldn't betray him, so it was seamless." Shen Guyuan sneered, "Now that there are people around me, they are all boneless things, do you really think he is the same Shen Qihuai from before?" ?”

Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment, and half lowered his eyes.

Isn't it?She had been caught before, and she tried her best not to run away, unwilling to betray Shen Qihuai, so Shen Qihuai had been at ease for so many years.But now, it was Yu Youwei who was talking in his ear, that pampered young lady, not to mention suffering, even a little emotion might do something he didn't expect.

This is also a kind of retribution.

I don't know what expression is on Shen Qihuai's face now.

Pity the palace.

Shen Qihuai listened to Yun Yan's report calmly, with no waves on his face: "She is out of breath."

"Yes." Yun Yan frowned: "Miss Yu is not very old, it's normal to do wrong things on impulse."

"Wrong thing?" With a chuckle, Shen Qihuai stood up and teased the parrot in the cage next to him: "Yu Youwei will not do wrong things, she will only do things that are good for herself. To trip up Commander Xuan is nothing more than wanting Let the king beg her. She is complaining that the king has been indifferent to her recently."

Yun Yan opened her mouth to speak, but thinking about her identity, it's better to be silent.

Shen Qihuai stared darkly, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, but now he is surrounded by enemies, he has no other choice.

Suddenly, she missed Ning Chiyu a little bit. Leaving aside the subsequent betrayal, at least in the previous ten years, she had never done anything to make him angry.Sensible and caring, saved him a lot of trouble.

Gently thumping the center of his eyebrows, Shen Qihuai said in a muffled voice: "Yunyan, bring the wine."

In the cool weather, it is still suitable for drinking to warm up.

Chi Yu carefully put the jug on the small stove, licked his lips and waited eagerly. Shen Guyuan next to him heard the news brought back by Su Ming, and smiled horribly: "Shen Qihuai who is under one person and above ten thousand , Bow your head to a woman, it's really embarrassing."

Su Ming cupped his hands: "Ting Lieutenant opened the trial. The witnesses and evidences have shown that the kidnapping in Lenggong was intentional by Xuan Xiaolei, but no verdict was given."

"The commanding officer of the forbidden army is not something that the Ting Wei can judge." Shen Guyuan sneered: "Only by sending it to His Majesty will there be a result."

"Master." Chi Yu turned his head and looked at him curiously: "Are you going to have trouble with Commander Xuan?"

"Yes." Shen Guyuan propped his chin, eyes half closed, and said in distress: "But I don't know what to do to make this thing beautiful."

How could it be more beautiful?Chi Yu pouted: "Could it be that you still want to take his position as commander?"

That's a person Shen Qihuai has carefully cultivated for many years, and he is not a small character like Jiao San who can be pulled down at will.

Shen Guyuan remained silent, glanced at her sideways, and suddenly said, "Have you finished your piano lesson today?"

"Yeah." Chi Yu nodded: "But in all fairness, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Master."

"I don't have that high demand on you." Shen Guyuan curled his lips: "It's enough to be similar to Yu Youwei."

Yu Youwei?Chi Yu laughed: "Master, he has practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child. If I catch up with his skills for more than ten years, what's the deal?"

"She's not that good either." Shen Guyuan said: "But speaking of attractiveness, she is indeed more attractive than you."

Wei Wei was a little displeased, Chi Yu looked up at him: "How seductive?"

Recalling it carefully, Shen Guyuan said: "The words are provocative, the expression is also honed, even the speaking skills are just right, he is a good hand at seducing men."

Looking at the man in front of him, Chi Yu squinted, and his heart twisted for some reason.

Even he felt that Yu Youwei would seduce people.

"My lord." Madam Zheng called out from outside the door: "Young Master is here."

Shen Guyuan tilted his head, and said indifferently: "Please come in."

Shen Zhibai stepped into the door, and his eyes lit up when he saw the warm wine on the table: "No wonder you can smell the aroma of wine from afar. In this weather, it's good to drink a glass of warm wine."

"Lord Hou." Chi Yu came back to his senses, stood up and saluted him: "I haven't thanked you for saving me last time."

"You're being polite." Turning to look at her, Shen Zhibai pursed his lips: "It's just a trivial matter."

"Master told me all about it." Chi Yu sat down, lifted the jug and poured him half a glass: "Master Hou is kind to Chi Yu, and Chi Yu will remember it firmly."

Shen Zhibai chuckled: "Instead of remembering it, you might as well give it back to me. Winter is coming soon, and I still need a cloak."

"That's easy to say." Chi Yu nodded: "What kind of style does Lord Hou like?"

"As long as you do it." Shen Zhibai gave her a deep look.

Feeling that something was not right, Chi Yu looked at his eyes suspiciously, thought for a while, and felt that he should be thinking too much, people like Shen Zhibai are dragons and phoenixes, but they are just used to being considerate to others, and they definitely don't have any thoughts about her .

So, she happily went to find Madam Zheng to pick out patterns, and embroidered on the soft couch after lighting the lamp at night.

Shen Guyuan looked at it jokingly, and didn't think there was anything wrong. He continued to look at his things, and when he got tired, he called out: "Chi Yu, pour me a cup of tea."

Chi Yu was struggling with a complicated pattern, and didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "It's on the table, you can pour it yourself."
