Not as beautiful as the uncle
Chapter 31
Chapter 31
His face was full of stubbornness, and there was a strange light in his eyes, Chi Yu's waist was straightened, and his hands didn't shake, looking at the man in front of him whose face was gradually sinking, he smiled slightly: "Am I right? Lord?"
This sudden accusation made everyone present confused, Shen Qihuai didn't say anything, Yu Youwei rolled his eyes, and bowed his head in silence.The Prince Xiao who was next to him really didn't understand, so he took two steps forward to look at her and asked, "How did you say that? How many assassins do you know?"
"I know." Turning around and kneeling beside Yu Youwei, Chi Yu raised his head to look at Ting Wei who was sitting on top, and said word by word: "Yu Yong was sold to the Zhennan Palace by human traffickers at the age of 12, and was taken in by Shen Qihuai as a guard because of his good bones. , and then went to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts for two years, and became Shen Qihuai's right-hand man. Every time there is an assassination mission, he will lead the team and arrange the time and place in advance."
"Fang Qi was picked up by Shen Qihuai. He has the grace of saving lives, so he worked hard to learn martial arts from Yu Yong, and went to do the things Shen Qihuai ordered. He lives in Yonglai Village, east of the capital, and there is a young boy in his family. sister."
"Hawkeye's third brother is a man of the Jianghu. His martial arts are good, but he was wanted by the government because he killed the son of an official family. Shen Qihuai took him in and gave him food. He is taller than Master Ting Wei."
After finishing speaking in one breath, Chi Yu smiled at Shen Qihuai: "If I'm wrong in a word, please point it out, my lord."
Shen Qihuai looked down at her, and chuckled lightly: "You hate me that much?"
"I don't hate it anymore." Chi Yu shrugged: "It's just taking back all my connivance and defense of you in the past."
She never liked to do the tasks Shen Qihuai gave her. She used to think that he would be happy and rest easy. She was willing to deceive her conscience and do things she didn't agree with.
But now, they have been used up by others, and the bridges have been demolished, so what room does she leave for him?What's wrong with her going down with him in this hell?
Shen Guyuan chuckled lightly, tapped the armrest of the chair with his slender fingers, and was in a good mood: "These assassins really have a lot of background. Since the plaintiff has said such details, you can verify the truth after checking."
"No need." Shen Qihuai said flatly: "These people are indeed those who sympathize with the palace."
"Oh?" Prince Xiao frowned: "Then why did you involve Commander Xuan?"
Shen Qihuai smiled and said nothing, Yun Yan next to him immediately knelt down, cupped his hands and said to Shen Qihuai: "The prince no longer needs to defend his humble position, as the humble position makes his own opinions, the consequences should be borne by himself."
"How can you afford it?" Shen Qihuai sighed: "This crime falls on me, at most it can only be punished with a salary and an apology. But it is not a simple matter to fall on you."
"Then you can't ask the master to clean up the mess for the humble official." Yun Yan raised her head against her fist: "The humble official dares to act bravely, these people are sent out by the humble official!"
It's such a big scene of deep love between master and servant, Chi Yu sneered again and again, thinking it's no wonder Shen Qihuai protects Yunyan so much, Yunyan will stand up to take the blame if anything happens, he is really a very well-behaved scapegoat.
Prince Xiao looked at them with a sullen expression: "What's going on? Why did you send someone to kill Guyuan's apprentice when you abandoned Huai, your personal guard?"
"Prince Filial Piety doesn't know something." Yun Yan turned her head and cupped her hands: "This woman's name is Ning Chi Yu, and she is not the apprentice of the Third Prince, but Princess Chi Yu who died in the Pearl of Remains earlier."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Chi Yu, who was kneeling down, also raised his eyebrows.
The faces of the four princes were very ugly, looking at them, as if they were watching a farce: "Isn't Princess Chiyu already dead?"
"Thanks to Master, I didn't die." Chi Yu raised his hand obediently, and took the words to explain himself: "The Yizhu Pavilion accidentally went into the water. If I didn't happen to go out, I'm afraid I would really die inside."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Prince Xiao stared at her, and pulled her up: "Chi Yu girl, you are the princess! What can't you talk to us about? What kind of talk are you talking about?"
Pursing her lips, Chi Yu smiled wryly: "Uncle, I can't say anything. After all, the Prince of Mercy planned to marry Miss Yu early in the morning. My life is unnecessary, so I might as well die to fulfill him."
Prince Xiao was dumbfounded, turned his head to look at Shen Qihuai in shock: "You also knew earlier?"
"Yes." Shen Qihuai lowered his eyes: "But she is already a member of the third prince, and she has some misunderstandings with this king, and she is not willing to forgive him, so... simply pretend that she doesn't know each other, as long as she is happy."
The words are beautiful, but not all the people present are fools.When Shen Qihuai was so powerful, when he said he wanted to establish a concubine, many high-ranking and wealthy families came to talk about matchmaking. He didn't want to offend anyone, so he said that he wanted to establish Chiyu Princess, pretending to be affectionate. However, Ningchi Yu Once he dies, he will marry the daughter of the prime minister's family.The abacus is well done, not only not offending others, but also able to get the help of the prime minister's family.
Looking at it now, the fire in the Pearl Pavilion was probably not that simple.It's just that this is Shen Qihuai's housework after all, it's not easy for others to intervene, so at most, he can only speak a few words.
Prince Xiao was too angry to speak, and looked at Shen Qihuai very disappointedly: "King Ning died in the battle for the country, and he has made many achievements. His spiritual throne was carried into the ancestral temple by the former emperor himself. His daughter is entrusted to you, and you are like this To her?"
"Uncle Emperor." Shen Qihuai frowned: "How I treat her, after so many years, can't you see clearly?"
Chi Yu lowered his eyes, and Prince Xiao also shook his head again and again: "I didn't care what you did to her before, but now, since you know it's her, you allow your subordinates to assassinate her. What kind of intention is that?"
"My lord doesn't know something!" Yun Yan frowned, "Master Chiyu is dissatisfied with her master, and harmed her first. The master is generous and doesn't care about her, but we servants can't see it..."
"You also know that you are a servant?" Prince Xiao sneered, and stood in front of him with his chubby belly: "Do you think that it doesn't matter if you commit a crime with the protection of Qi Huai, so you are so righteous?"
Yun Yan's scalp tightened, she lowered her head and remained silent.
Prince Xiao clenched his fists tightly: "I am a member of the Shen family, even if my family is destroyed, I am still a member of the royal family. It is not your turn to bully me!"
"Uncle Emperor..." Shen Qihuai frowned.
"Don't talk about it." Prince Xiao waved his hand: "Your guard is willing to bear all the blame, let him bear it, and beheaded after autumn!"
"Uncle Emperor!" Shen Qihuai was a little annoyed: "Why do you always protect your weaknesses so unreasonably?"
Among the four princes, Prince Filial Piety was the one he disliked the most. He was too protective of a member of the royal family, but he never regarded him as a real member of the royal family.
"The law is strict, and anyone who dares to assassinate a member of the royal family will be executed!" Prince Xiao asked him: "This king acts according to the law, why is he unreasonable?"
Shen Qihuai frowned, took a deep look at him, and waved his sleeves: "The emperor insists on going his own way, so the king has nothing to say."
Shen Guyuan propped his chin and looked at the side, with a lot of interest in his eyes.
A violent wind swept through Tingwei's mansion, making it a mess.Yunyan was imprisoned, and Yu Youwei escaped because he had no real evidence, but when his reputation spread, everyone sneered.
Chi Yu was held in Shen Guyuan's arms, still trembling slightly.
"You, you." Shen Guyuan sighed: "You are so courageous in front of people, you dare to say anything, why do you behave like a drowned cat in the queen, cowardly?"
Chiyu's teeth chattered, and he said hesitantly, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Originally, she didn't plan to reveal her identity, after all, she didn't have any evidence on her body, as long as Shen Qihuai said she was not Ningchiyu, she was not Ningchiyu.
But unexpectedly, Yunyan would reveal her identity suddenly, trying to use this as an excuse to get off the crime.How naive!With the filial prince protecting their shortcomings, it would be harmful to them to reveal her identity!
However, she can finally live as a Ningchi fish again!This year's year-end festival, you can still go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the father, mother and concubine.
Thinking of this, Chi Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with a relaxed smile.
"Shen Qihuai was angered today." Shen Guyuan said in a low voice, "It's scary for him to be ruthless, are you ready?"
"It's done." Chi Yu smiled: "I still have a debt, and I want to settle it on him and Yu Youwei."
How to calculate this?Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows, curious but didn't ask, hugged her to rub the temperature around her neck, and narrowed his eyes comfortably.
"The current situation has no room for us to back down."
Compassionate for the palace, Shen Qihuai looked at Prime Minister Yu in front of him, and said solemnly: "Today, I have torn face with Prince Xiao and the others. From now on, the prime minister and I will have to support each other."
"That's easy to say." Prime Minister Yu nodded, "A lot of papers from the court were handed over to me, and there are also quite a few officials who have good friends with me. If we want to divide the parties, we won't lose."
This is true, the prime minister who is the head of the three lords, together with the prestigious Prince of Mercy, people who are willing to share a boat with them have filled the palace of the Prince of Mercy within two days.On the court, when Shen Qihuai said a word, there were not a few people who responded, even if he asked for leave for a day and did not go to court, nearly one-third of the officials in the court were missing.
"The country is unfortunate." In the imperial study, Prince Xiao sighed: "The king of Zhennan raised tigers and attracted wolves into his house. Now the common people are afraid that a catastrophe will come."
"What does this have to do with the King of Zhennan?" Prince Jing frowned: "At the beginning, I thought he was a man who could help the royal family, didn't we?"
That's right, Shen Qihuai was the best performer when selecting someone who could assist the young emperor in the royal family. It was a few of them who discussed and decided to let him be the prince.who ever thought...
"From the current point of view, Shen Qihuai is just a demonstration, showing his influence in the court to everyone." Shen Guyuan, who was leisurely drinking tea next to him, said, "What are you all in such a hurry for?"
Prince Zhong turned his head back, and said with a serious face: "If you really wait until the day he usurps the throne, if you are so anxious, it will be too late!"
"Why does he usurp the throne?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows: "It's not from the blood of the Shen family, the name is not right, unless he kills all the Shen family members, but obviously, that is impossible."
"Even if you don't usurp the throne, it's not a problem to let him continue to hold the power." Prince Xiao sighed: "I thought you would be able to take back the power quietly when you came back, but who knew that Shen Qihuai's reaction was so fierce and he directly confronted us .”
The situation in the DPRK and China is unclear, a small number of people stand in line, and most of them are still waiting and watching.But the number of memorials sent to him this morning has decreased by a third compared to before.
"There's nothing wrong with facing directly." Shen Guyuan was still very calm: "If you don't break, you can't stand."
Seeing his attitude, Prince Xiao was not happy: "Guyuan, you are too optimistic, there are many party members in Shen Qihuai's court..."
"Uncle Emperor." Chi Yu next to him brought tea to him with a smile: "Calm down first."
How can you be so calm?Prince Xiao stared like a copper bell.
Chi Yu chuckled, stuffed the teacup into his hand, pushed him into the chair next to him, and said in a low voice, "Think about it carefully, since Uncle Sanhuang came back, what has changed in court?"
The change in the court is nothing more than...
etc!As soon as Prince Xiao's eyes lit up, he stood up after serving tea and looked at Prince Zhong beside him: "Is Yang Yanyu's case under trial?"
"Yes, I will be in charge." Prince Zhong nodded.
"Speaking of which, Zhong Wushen, the third envoy, was also involved in the corruption case. He is collecting evidence in his mansion recently, and Wen Zezhang has temporarily taken over the position of envoy of the third envoy." Prince Yi said: "This case is to be handed over to this Here comes the king's hand."
"Coincidentally." Prince Jing raised his eyebrows: "The case of Xuan Xiaolei, the former commander of the Forbidden Army, is with me, and Zhibai is trying him."
Clapping his hands excitedly, Prince Xiao turned his head and looked at Shen Guyuan with excitement on his face: "The Qiushou corruption case involved the Taiwei Mansion, the Third Division Envoy, and even the Commander Xuan was imprisoned. These three people, all of them It's Qi Huai's right-hand man!"
"Yes." Shen Guyuan said unhurriedly: "I didn't cut off his arm, but it is impossible for him to use these people now, unless he knows the law and breaks the law, and Li Daitao is stiff. However, as long as he dares to move, there will be The handle is in our hands, now, Shen Qihuai is the one who should be anxious."
The four princes' eyes lit up, they looked at each other, and stared at Shen Guyuan in unison.
Shen Guyuan pulled Chi Yu back in front of him expressionlessly, and said, "Don't think about throwing it all on me alone, it might not work out."
"No, no, no!" Prince Xiao sat down next to him, smiling until the creases on his face crumpled up: "What this king means is that with you here, we can rest assured."
"Don't." Shen Guyuan shook his head: "I'm new here, Shen Qihuai is much more familiar with the court rules than I am, and he also knows the secret way better than me. In terms of odds alone, he is better than me."
With his arms pinched by him, Chi Yu greeted the princes' fiery eyes, couldn't help swallowing, and said in a low voice, "Master is not omnipotent."
"Chi Yu." Prince Jing said with a smile: "You have been with Gu Yuan for a while, is it possible that you still don't believe in your master's ability?"
"Believe it, but..." Chi Yu pursed his lips, stood in front of Shen Guyuan with open arms to protect him, and said earnestly: "If you have the ability, you have the ability. I don't want him to do so many difficult things alone. agree."
Shen Guyuan was slightly taken aback, then looked up at her.
The little girl in front of her turned her back to him, her back was straight, she had the posture of an old hen, and said sternly: "It is rare for him to come back and continue to serve the royal family. It is also closely related to you, what to do is all on him? Then if Shen Qihuai succeeds in his treacherous scheme, don't you all blame my master?"
Prince Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Chi Yu, your master doesn't need your protection, don't look at him evasive, he knows it in his heart."
"Then I don't care." Chi Yu pursed her lips: "Everyone has the same blessings and the same difficulties!"
All the princes were stunned by her words, and they were caught off guard, but someone laughed out loud, with a clear voice that made people's hearts skip a beat.
Chi Yu blinked his eyes back to his senses, and saw the person behind him collapsed into the grand master's chair with his forehead propped up and smiling, a pair of beautiful eyes shimmered, as if the rain had just stopped, and the scenery of the mountains and the lake was beautiful.
Swallowing, Chi Yu blushed a little: "Master, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing." Pulling her to sit on his lap, Shen Guyuan looked at her deeply, with the corners of his mouth still hooked: "I'm glad I took in a good apprentice."
Heartbroken by these words, Chi Yu waved his hands in embarrassment, quickly stood up from him, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "All the uncles are here, pay attention!"
"What does it matter?" Shen Guyuan jokingly said: "As far as seniority is concerned, you have to call me Uncle Huang."
Chi Yu: "..."
It was originally a tense atmosphere in the imperial study room, but these two people are still flirting?Prince Filial Piety shook his head again and again, pulled Chiyu girl to stand aside, and said in a low voice, "You can talk after the discussion is over."
Chi Yu gave him an aggrieved look, and stretched out his hand to pinch his mouth.
"Guyuan." Prince Jing smiled and said, "We are not trying to trick you, starting today, what are you going to do, we who are the emperor's brothers will cooperate with you, how about it?"
"This is negotiable." Shen Guyuan nodded: "When there is something to do, I will definitely send someone to inform you."
"It's easy to talk about." Prince Xiao rubbed his hands, and finally became excited: "They have given us a bad blow, so let's return one too."
After all, they are members of the royal family, so what they hold in their hands is naturally very important, among other things, if Shen Qihuai wants to marry Yu Youwei, but Si Ming says that the characters are not compatible, then they will not be able to do it.
The two parties, the DPRK and China, gradually formed and began to confront each other. Chi Yu also became nervous. He changed his clothes every day when he got up, and squatted tensely by the bed to watch his master.
Shen Guyuan yawned and opened his eyes, not surprisingly, he saw two eyes that were bigger than the moon.
"What are you doing?" Frowning slightly, he impatiently pulled the quilt to cover himself.
"Master, don't you need to go out today?" Chi Yu looked at him expectantly: "Don't you need to go to the yamen or something like that? It's better to go to a palace!"
Glancing at her inexplicably, Shen Guyuan said, "What am I going out for? It's so cold outside."
"But..." Chi Yu said nervously: "Shen Qihuai has been moving a lot lately, walking outside all day long, the relationship between the upper and lower is well managed!"
"Let him go." Closing his eyes sleepily, Shen Guyuan stretched out his hand to grab her back into his arms, and said impatiently: "You little girl, what do you care so much about? Are you done with piano lessons?"
"Practice is over!" Chi Yu waved his paws and said anxiously: "The piano lesson is not the point at all, master, we can't sit and wait for death! I have made up my mind, I can expose all the bad things Shen Qihuai has done, so that he can be exposed in the future." The prestige of the DPRK and China is shaken!"
"En." Shen Guyuan said lightly: "Then drag yourself into the water, maybe you have to stay in a prison."
"What does it matter!" Chi Yu said: "As long as I can restrain him, I'm not afraid of going to prison. Besides, with Master around, I'm always considerate!"
Frowning slightly, Shen Guyuan opened his eyes and looked at the person in his arms: "Are you asking me to use you?"
"It's not a use." Chi Yu shrugged: "Everyone helps each other."
With a soft snort, Shen Guyuan pressed her head into his arms: "If you sleep honestly, you'll be doing me a favor."
Chi Yu was not reconciled, and moved left and right: "Now the four princes are all counting on you to control the overall situation, I am worried about you!"
The corners of his lips curled slightly, Shen Guyuan rubbed against her, and went back to sleep in a good mood.
Chi Yu couldn't figure it out, did he have a plan in mind, or was it nothing to do with it?If it was Shen Qihuai, he would definitely ask her to help assassinate someone, or steal something from someone's mansion without saying a word.But my own master, she sent it to my door, why didn't he use it?
After a good night's sleep, Shen Guyuan got up and ordered Chef Hao to make a lot of delicious food. Chi Yu followed behind him, still thinking: "Even if you have made all the arrangements, tell me the situation first. Otherwise, I would be very worried... And wow, the people who came to visit the house, why have they all gone to Nanyuan? Shouldn't they come to see you? You are still in the mood to eat candied haws!"
Biting the candied haws, Shen Guyuan asked her: "Want to eat grilled fish?"
"Eat!" Chi Yu replied angrily.
So, when Zhao Yinma came over, he saw Chi Yu girl resentfully eating a bunch of delicious grilled fish, and when she saw him coming, she called out pitifully: "Brother."
Zhao Yinma laughed and said: "Why are you not happy when you have something to eat?"
Nunu pointed at the person next to him, and Chi Yu was very unhappy: "He won't let me help."
Zhao Yinma was taken aback, and looked at Shen Guyuan in surprise: "If Chi Yu is willing to help, we will get twice the result with half the effort. What is the third prince stopping?"
Shen Guyuan looked at him, his eyes narrowed.
So Zhao Yinma turned his head, stared at Chi Yu immediately and said, "You too, a girl's family, what are you messing with? Just eat well!"
Chi Yu: "..."
"Cough." Being a little embarrassed by her stare, Zhao Yinma hurriedly said: "I'm here to talk about business, and the year-end memorial service will be held soon. The imperial guards in the palace are very large. It's my first time to take over, and I'm in a hurry. I want to ask the prince Someone to help."
"Who?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows.
"Li Shengquan, an official in the Ministry of War."
Shen Guyuan glanced at him: "Do you have friendship with you?"
Scratching the back of his head, Zhao Yinma said a little embarrassedly: "I used to be a classmate, and we went to private school together for several years. Later, he entered a civil service position, and I became a military commander. I have never had a chance to meet each other. I only recently heard that he offended someone before. , I have been serving as an internal official for two years."
"If you want this favor, I can give it to you." Shen Guyuan said: "But if he doesn't work, I can ask you."
"Thank you, my lord!" Zhao Yinma happily cupped his hands.
Chi Yu gnawed on the grilled fish and looked at him, thinking that his big brother Jinlan was really innocent. When he came to ask for favors, he at least offered something.
However, such a person makes people feel comfortable, has no calculations, is frank and honest, and can be trusted with confidence.
"By the way, Master Zhibai also asked me to send a letter." After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Yinma continued: "Recently, Shen Qihuai is trying to win over the people in the cabinet. The weight of words is also very heavy, Shen Qihuai sent people to send a lot of gifts, and invited them to swim in the lake together."
Bachelor Li?Chi Yu blinked, feeling a little familiar.
"You don't have to worry about this, let him feel at ease." Shen Guyuan said: "He can't bribe Li Zhixiao."
There are few people in the world who don't love money. Shen Qihuai threw down a lot of things, and there are people who can't be bribed?Chi Yu was suspicious.
However, in the evening, someone wearing a cloak came to Prince Renshan's mansion.
"Chi Yu, pour tea." Shen Guyuan said lightly.
Ning Chiyu recovered from the stunned state, stretched out his hand to pour tea, and handed it over respectfully: "Graduate scholar, please use tea."
Li Zhixiao glanced at her, and said with a light smile: "The third prince is really amazing. The princess who used to be sympathetic to the palace of the prince is now serving tea and water at your place."
"A disciple should be filial to his master." Shen Guyuan took a sip of his tea and handed over a box: "You should take a look at this first."
Li Zhixiao glanced at the box, but did not reach out: "The third prince also practiced this way of bribery?"
Shen Guyuan glanced at him and frowned slightly.
Li Zhixiao put his hands together and sneered: "If you talk about bribes, what the Lord of Compassion gave today is not comparable to this mahogany box. I thought the Lord had something else to say, but I didn't expect that he and the Lord of Mercy are going the same way. The old man will take his leave first."
After all, he got up and planned to leave.
"My lord." Chi Yu stood sideways in front of him and saluted, "How do you know what it is if you don't look at it?"
"This kind of carved wooden box is usually used to give gifts." Li Zhixiao sneered: "It's not a gift, what else can it be?"
"It's indeed a gift." Shen Guyuan said, "But I didn't give it to you."
Slightly taken aback, Li Zhixiao looked back at him: "Aren't you going to send me off?"
"This is the birthday gift sent by the third envoy to the palace for the young emperor." Shen Guyuan reached out and touched the carved mahogany box, and said, "Aren't you curious about what it is?"
Li Zhixiao paused, remembering the turbulent autumn harvest corruption incident, hesitated for a moment, and went over to open the box curiously.
The warm jade light flowed out, making people's eyes widen in shock.The Jade Avalokitesvara in the box is holding a bottle, with compassionate eyes, and its carving is unparalleled in the world.
"This!" Taking out the Guanyin to take a closer look, Li Zhixiao became excited: "This is the Jade Guanyin buried with my late father!"
The last word was almost snarled, and Chi Yu was so startled that he took half a step back.
Shen Guyuan said slowly: "The young emperor gave it to me. There is a record in the palace. It is the gift from Zhong Wushen that is correct."
"This son of a bitch!" Li Zhixiao was trembling with anger, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked left and right, saw a saber hanging on the wall, took it out and walked out.
"Hey!" Chi Yu came back to his senses, and quickly called out to him: "My lord, what are you doing?"
Furious, Li Zhixiao ignored Chi Yu and completely ignored that he was a civil servant, so he raised his sword and rushed out!
Chi Yu looked back at his master in a daze, and then at the Jade Guanyin in the half-open box on the table, and said in shock, "How could this be something buried with you?"
Shen Guyuan propped his chin, and said lazily: "Scholar Li has been clean and honest all his life, but he has been an official for more than ten years, and he has a lot of savings. He is very stingy about everything, but he is very generous with his father's funeral objects. This Jade Avalokitesvara is the most important burial object, it is worth thousands of gold, and it was bought with his life savings."
That's not the point, the point is that all the funeral objects were bought as congratulatory gifts and sent to the palace, and the tomb of Li Dashi's biological father... no wonder he went crazy, who can bear this?
Chi Yu shook his head and sighed: "Master Zhong is really careless, why did he buy such a thing."
Shen Guyuan chuckled: "The Jade Guanyin sold for three thousand gold after it was unearthed, and it is the treasure of the Jade Store. Zhong Wushen didn't intend to buy it, but it is the most expensive, and it is most beneficial to sell his stolen silver, so I chose this without hesitation."
If he hadn't happened to see it, this thing would have been put in the treasury and never seen the light of day.
Chi Yu chuckled twice, leaned over to his master, and beat his legs for him.
"If you want to ask anything, just ask." Shen Guyuan snorted: "Don't come here."
"Aren't I afraid that you will be impatient?" Chi Yu chuckled twice: "Every time I ask you a question, you are not willing to answer it."
Rolling his eyes, Shen Guyuan said: "That's also because you are asking boring questions."
"Not all of them." Chi Yu blinked: "For example, Tuer has always wanted to know, why do you know everything? Then Yuguanyin, since the third envoy didn't recognize that it was buried with Li Dashi's biological father, then you How do you know?"
Shen Guyuan paused, then picked up his teacup as if nothing had happened: "It happens that I have heard about this before, and I have also seen this Jade Guanyin."
"Really?" Chi Yu tilted his head: "Could it be a bit too coincidental?"
With a straight face, Shen Guyuan said impatiently: "If you are bored, go practice the piano for another hour!"
With a broken face, Chi Yu said: "Look, you are like this again."
Uncle Shen was upset, he raised his legs and looked at her with an expression of "I'm like this, what can you do to me".
Chi Yu put his hands together in frustration, bowed to him, and ran to hold the piano.
She has been thoroughly understood by the master inside and out, but when will she be able to understand the secret of the master?
Li Zhixiao forced his way into the Sansi Mansion, wounded people with a sword, and was directly sent to the Tingwei Yamen by the guards of the Sansi Mansion.When Shen Qihuai heard the news, he rushed over immediately and released Li Zhixiao back.
"It's very lively now." Shen Zhibai stretched out his hand and handed Mrs. Tang to Chi Yu, and said with a smile: "On one side is the old department who committed a crime, and on the other side is the bachelor who is trying to win over. Guess how Shen Qihuai will choose?"
Chi Yu said: "With his temperament, he will choose both, and he will not let go."
"It's up to him." Shen Zhibai shook his head: "Zhong Wushen was so angry that he obviously wouldn't swallow it, and Li Dashi was even more angry, as if he had revenge on Mr. Zhong for killing his father! , You didn't see that Li Dashi looked at Wen Ruo, and raised his sword to chop people, and he was very powerful."
"He was out of breath, he chopped blindly." Shen Guyuan said: "In a real fight, his bone might not be the opponent of Zhong Wushen."
"That's true." After finishing the business, Shen Zhibai turned his head to look at Chi Yu and said, "I got a piece of good material recently, and I thought I had nowhere to give it away, so I made you a jacket, take a look."
As he spoke, he handed over a bundle wrapped in silk.
As soon as Chi Yu's eyes lit up, he reached out and took it.When I opened it, I saw that it was Xuehu's coat, and it was very warm to the touch.
"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Holding it with a smile, Chi Yu said: "It's a coincidence that you gave it to me. Master said yesterday that he would make me a jacket, so I can save it now."
Shen Zhibai's brows moved slightly, he turned his head to look at Shen Guyuan, then looked at Chi Yu and said, "As long as you like it."
"I like it very much!" Chi Yu said with emotion: "I finally live the days when someone rushes to give me skirts!"
"Huh?" Shen Zhibai chuckled lightly: "Have you not had it before?"
"I used to... I didn't wear skirts." Wrinkling his nose, Chi Yu said, "I always think leggings are fast and neat. But now I'm used to it, and I think skirts look good."
Shen Zhibai was in a good mood, reached out and tapped on the table lightly, and said with a smile: "Since it looks good, change it for me to see."
"Okay!" Chi Yu didn't think too much, and went to the inner room to change clothes while holding the skirt.
There were only two people left in the outer room, Shen Zhibai raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked sideways at the person beside him who had been silent all this time.
Shen Guyuan had no expression on his face, he swiped the teacup with his fingers, showing no emotion.
"Uncle Three Emperors." Shen Zhibai hooked his lips: "I seem to know how to make her happy, thank you."
"You're welcome." Shen Guyuan didn't look at him, but only looked down at the floating tea leaves in the cup, and said indifferently: "If she can like you, that's naturally the best."
"I still need the help of the emperor." Shen Zhibai cupped his hands at him: "The first snow is coming soon, before it snows, I want to take Chi Yu to a place."
"Where do you want her to go, why don't you just take her there?" Shen Guyuan said, "How can I help?"
"Chi Yu doesn't like to go out and walk around the house recently." Shen Zhibai shrugged helplessly: "She said that she needs your permission to go out, so...won't Uncle Huang not help?"
Shen Guyuan sneered: "I didn't tie her up in this room, what do you mean I need my permission? When she changes out later, you just take her there."
"Okay." Shen Zhibai's eyes brightened slightly: "Thank you, Uncle Huang!"
Shen Guyuan half closed his eyes, continued to drink tea lazily, glanced at the inner room with the curtain drawn from the corner of his eye.
Chi Yu happily changed her clothes, and turned around when she came out: "How is it?"
Xuejin's waistcoat was embroidered with red carp and wrapped in white fox fur, which looked delicate and noble.Shen Zhibai nodded again and again: "It looks good!"
"Master?" Chi Yu winked at Shen Guyuan, acting charming.
Shen Guyuan squinted at her, curled his lips: "It's okay."
Seeing his expression, Chi Yu's face collapsed, and he said unhappily: "I don't want to say a good word every time, it's really not flattering!"
Whether she likes it or not, what does it have to do with him?Shen Guyuan snorted coldly, put down the teacup with his sleeves, pointed outside and said, "Let's go for a walk with Lord Zhibai, today is sunny."
"Okay, okay!" Without any hesitation, Chi Yu nodded and said, "Where are you going?"
Didn't even hesitate?Shen Guyuan squinted his eyes, and stared at her with a half-smile: "Go wherever you like!"
"Chi Yu." Shen Zhibai stood up, covered Shen Guyuan's face, and smiled excitedly: "I found a good place outside the capital. It was just repaired, and it's beautiful. Hurry up before it snows. have a look!"
"Really?" Chi Yu's eyes lit up: "Okay, but when will you be back?"
"It will take less than two hours." Taking her hand, Shen Zhibai ran out directly.
"Hey?" Chi Yu staggered two steps, looked back at Shen Guyuan and asked, "Master, isn't he going?"
"Don't go."
Chi Yu was slightly taken aback.
The red-clothed and white-haired man was sitting on the main seat like a stone statue, his expression was unclear, and his whole body seemed to be covered by a cloud of black mist, probably because the light in the room was too dark and there were no lights on.While she was in a daze, Shen Guyuan got up and walked towards the inner room casually.
Master is unwilling to go out, right?Chi Yu thought for a while, then turned his attention and looked ahead: "Young Master, did you come here by car?"
"Well, it's just outside." Shen Zhibai smiled, his lips were red and his teeth were white.
Chi Yu nodded, followed him into the car with his skirt up, and headed to the good place he said.
There are many patrolling guards on the streets of the capital. It seems that the atmosphere is tense, and none of the people dare to raise their voices. It makes people feel depressed just looking at them.But when the car left the city gate, everything suddenly became clear.
A tree-lined road, both sides are full of winter plums, yellow and red, full of fragrance.Chi Yu looked at it in surprise, couldn't help stretching out his hand, and picked a wintersweet that grew to the car window.
"It smells so good." Taking a breath, Chi Yu was very happy: "This smell is so familiar."
"Winter is here, once the plum blossoms bloom, every household has flower arrangements, of course we are familiar with it." Shen Zhibai looked at her deeply: "There are more ahead."
Is there any more?Chi Yu hurriedly opened the curtain to look.
The plum blossoms on both sides are receding, and the end of the road seems to be a temple, but, unlike other red walls and yellow tiles, the temple has white walls and red tiles, and the scattered halls look very beautiful from a distance.
"What is this place?" Chi Yu asked in surprise.
"Yuelao Temple." Shen Zhibai said: "It was only recently completed, I heard that the fortune-telling inside is very good, the flowers are also very fragrant, and the lottery is also very accurate."
Naturally, Chi Yu had never been to this kind of place, and just looked at it curiously with a pair of big eyes.
"Twenty-four winds blow open the red calyx, and realize that bees and butterflies are envoys. There is always a karma, and the boundless flowers of the Fragrant Country have owners." When they reached the door, Chi Yu looked at Lianzi and read.
Shen Zhibai laughed, and opened his mouth to accept her second couplet: "I will tie the red rope for 100 years, I hope Li Yaotao will be married, and the love will never grow old and the moon will be round."
It seemed very interesting, Chi Yu was speechless, and stepped in with her skirt in hand.
"Dang—" A bell rang somewhere, Chi Yu looked back blankly, and saw plum blossoms protruding from the eaves with fragrant stamens.In a trance, she seemed to see Shen Guyuan's face, which was full of color and fragrance.
With a low laugh, Chi Yu shook his head, and followed Shen Zhibai inside.
"You were in a bad mood a few days ago, and I can't call you." Shen Zhibai looked at her and said, "It seems that the past few days have suddenly opened up."
(End of this chapter)
His face was full of stubbornness, and there was a strange light in his eyes, Chi Yu's waist was straightened, and his hands didn't shake, looking at the man in front of him whose face was gradually sinking, he smiled slightly: "Am I right? Lord?"
This sudden accusation made everyone present confused, Shen Qihuai didn't say anything, Yu Youwei rolled his eyes, and bowed his head in silence.The Prince Xiao who was next to him really didn't understand, so he took two steps forward to look at her and asked, "How did you say that? How many assassins do you know?"
"I know." Turning around and kneeling beside Yu Youwei, Chi Yu raised his head to look at Ting Wei who was sitting on top, and said word by word: "Yu Yong was sold to the Zhennan Palace by human traffickers at the age of 12, and was taken in by Shen Qihuai as a guard because of his good bones. , and then went to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts for two years, and became Shen Qihuai's right-hand man. Every time there is an assassination mission, he will lead the team and arrange the time and place in advance."
"Fang Qi was picked up by Shen Qihuai. He has the grace of saving lives, so he worked hard to learn martial arts from Yu Yong, and went to do the things Shen Qihuai ordered. He lives in Yonglai Village, east of the capital, and there is a young boy in his family. sister."
"Hawkeye's third brother is a man of the Jianghu. His martial arts are good, but he was wanted by the government because he killed the son of an official family. Shen Qihuai took him in and gave him food. He is taller than Master Ting Wei."
After finishing speaking in one breath, Chi Yu smiled at Shen Qihuai: "If I'm wrong in a word, please point it out, my lord."
Shen Qihuai looked down at her, and chuckled lightly: "You hate me that much?"
"I don't hate it anymore." Chi Yu shrugged: "It's just taking back all my connivance and defense of you in the past."
She never liked to do the tasks Shen Qihuai gave her. She used to think that he would be happy and rest easy. She was willing to deceive her conscience and do things she didn't agree with.
But now, they have been used up by others, and the bridges have been demolished, so what room does she leave for him?What's wrong with her going down with him in this hell?
Shen Guyuan chuckled lightly, tapped the armrest of the chair with his slender fingers, and was in a good mood: "These assassins really have a lot of background. Since the plaintiff has said such details, you can verify the truth after checking."
"No need." Shen Qihuai said flatly: "These people are indeed those who sympathize with the palace."
"Oh?" Prince Xiao frowned: "Then why did you involve Commander Xuan?"
Shen Qihuai smiled and said nothing, Yun Yan next to him immediately knelt down, cupped his hands and said to Shen Qihuai: "The prince no longer needs to defend his humble position, as the humble position makes his own opinions, the consequences should be borne by himself."
"How can you afford it?" Shen Qihuai sighed: "This crime falls on me, at most it can only be punished with a salary and an apology. But it is not a simple matter to fall on you."
"Then you can't ask the master to clean up the mess for the humble official." Yun Yan raised her head against her fist: "The humble official dares to act bravely, these people are sent out by the humble official!"
It's such a big scene of deep love between master and servant, Chi Yu sneered again and again, thinking it's no wonder Shen Qihuai protects Yunyan so much, Yunyan will stand up to take the blame if anything happens, he is really a very well-behaved scapegoat.
Prince Xiao looked at them with a sullen expression: "What's going on? Why did you send someone to kill Guyuan's apprentice when you abandoned Huai, your personal guard?"
"Prince Filial Piety doesn't know something." Yun Yan turned her head and cupped her hands: "This woman's name is Ning Chi Yu, and she is not the apprentice of the Third Prince, but Princess Chi Yu who died in the Pearl of Remains earlier."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Chi Yu, who was kneeling down, also raised his eyebrows.
The faces of the four princes were very ugly, looking at them, as if they were watching a farce: "Isn't Princess Chiyu already dead?"
"Thanks to Master, I didn't die." Chi Yu raised his hand obediently, and took the words to explain himself: "The Yizhu Pavilion accidentally went into the water. If I didn't happen to go out, I'm afraid I would really die inside."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Prince Xiao stared at her, and pulled her up: "Chi Yu girl, you are the princess! What can't you talk to us about? What kind of talk are you talking about?"
Pursing her lips, Chi Yu smiled wryly: "Uncle, I can't say anything. After all, the Prince of Mercy planned to marry Miss Yu early in the morning. My life is unnecessary, so I might as well die to fulfill him."
Prince Xiao was dumbfounded, turned his head to look at Shen Qihuai in shock: "You also knew earlier?"
"Yes." Shen Qihuai lowered his eyes: "But she is already a member of the third prince, and she has some misunderstandings with this king, and she is not willing to forgive him, so... simply pretend that she doesn't know each other, as long as she is happy."
The words are beautiful, but not all the people present are fools.When Shen Qihuai was so powerful, when he said he wanted to establish a concubine, many high-ranking and wealthy families came to talk about matchmaking. He didn't want to offend anyone, so he said that he wanted to establish Chiyu Princess, pretending to be affectionate. However, Ningchi Yu Once he dies, he will marry the daughter of the prime minister's family.The abacus is well done, not only not offending others, but also able to get the help of the prime minister's family.
Looking at it now, the fire in the Pearl Pavilion was probably not that simple.It's just that this is Shen Qihuai's housework after all, it's not easy for others to intervene, so at most, he can only speak a few words.
Prince Xiao was too angry to speak, and looked at Shen Qihuai very disappointedly: "King Ning died in the battle for the country, and he has made many achievements. His spiritual throne was carried into the ancestral temple by the former emperor himself. His daughter is entrusted to you, and you are like this To her?"
"Uncle Emperor." Shen Qihuai frowned: "How I treat her, after so many years, can't you see clearly?"
Chi Yu lowered his eyes, and Prince Xiao also shook his head again and again: "I didn't care what you did to her before, but now, since you know it's her, you allow your subordinates to assassinate her. What kind of intention is that?"
"My lord doesn't know something!" Yun Yan frowned, "Master Chiyu is dissatisfied with her master, and harmed her first. The master is generous and doesn't care about her, but we servants can't see it..."
"You also know that you are a servant?" Prince Xiao sneered, and stood in front of him with his chubby belly: "Do you think that it doesn't matter if you commit a crime with the protection of Qi Huai, so you are so righteous?"
Yun Yan's scalp tightened, she lowered her head and remained silent.
Prince Xiao clenched his fists tightly: "I am a member of the Shen family, even if my family is destroyed, I am still a member of the royal family. It is not your turn to bully me!"
"Uncle Emperor..." Shen Qihuai frowned.
"Don't talk about it." Prince Xiao waved his hand: "Your guard is willing to bear all the blame, let him bear it, and beheaded after autumn!"
"Uncle Emperor!" Shen Qihuai was a little annoyed: "Why do you always protect your weaknesses so unreasonably?"
Among the four princes, Prince Filial Piety was the one he disliked the most. He was too protective of a member of the royal family, but he never regarded him as a real member of the royal family.
"The law is strict, and anyone who dares to assassinate a member of the royal family will be executed!" Prince Xiao asked him: "This king acts according to the law, why is he unreasonable?"
Shen Qihuai frowned, took a deep look at him, and waved his sleeves: "The emperor insists on going his own way, so the king has nothing to say."
Shen Guyuan propped his chin and looked at the side, with a lot of interest in his eyes.
A violent wind swept through Tingwei's mansion, making it a mess.Yunyan was imprisoned, and Yu Youwei escaped because he had no real evidence, but when his reputation spread, everyone sneered.
Chi Yu was held in Shen Guyuan's arms, still trembling slightly.
"You, you." Shen Guyuan sighed: "You are so courageous in front of people, you dare to say anything, why do you behave like a drowned cat in the queen, cowardly?"
Chiyu's teeth chattered, and he said hesitantly, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Originally, she didn't plan to reveal her identity, after all, she didn't have any evidence on her body, as long as Shen Qihuai said she was not Ningchiyu, she was not Ningchiyu.
But unexpectedly, Yunyan would reveal her identity suddenly, trying to use this as an excuse to get off the crime.How naive!With the filial prince protecting their shortcomings, it would be harmful to them to reveal her identity!
However, she can finally live as a Ningchi fish again!This year's year-end festival, you can still go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the father, mother and concubine.
Thinking of this, Chi Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with a relaxed smile.
"Shen Qihuai was angered today." Shen Guyuan said in a low voice, "It's scary for him to be ruthless, are you ready?"
"It's done." Chi Yu smiled: "I still have a debt, and I want to settle it on him and Yu Youwei."
How to calculate this?Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows, curious but didn't ask, hugged her to rub the temperature around her neck, and narrowed his eyes comfortably.
"The current situation has no room for us to back down."
Compassionate for the palace, Shen Qihuai looked at Prime Minister Yu in front of him, and said solemnly: "Today, I have torn face with Prince Xiao and the others. From now on, the prime minister and I will have to support each other."
"That's easy to say." Prime Minister Yu nodded, "A lot of papers from the court were handed over to me, and there are also quite a few officials who have good friends with me. If we want to divide the parties, we won't lose."
This is true, the prime minister who is the head of the three lords, together with the prestigious Prince of Mercy, people who are willing to share a boat with them have filled the palace of the Prince of Mercy within two days.On the court, when Shen Qihuai said a word, there were not a few people who responded, even if he asked for leave for a day and did not go to court, nearly one-third of the officials in the court were missing.
"The country is unfortunate." In the imperial study, Prince Xiao sighed: "The king of Zhennan raised tigers and attracted wolves into his house. Now the common people are afraid that a catastrophe will come."
"What does this have to do with the King of Zhennan?" Prince Jing frowned: "At the beginning, I thought he was a man who could help the royal family, didn't we?"
That's right, Shen Qihuai was the best performer when selecting someone who could assist the young emperor in the royal family. It was a few of them who discussed and decided to let him be the prince.who ever thought...
"From the current point of view, Shen Qihuai is just a demonstration, showing his influence in the court to everyone." Shen Guyuan, who was leisurely drinking tea next to him, said, "What are you all in such a hurry for?"
Prince Zhong turned his head back, and said with a serious face: "If you really wait until the day he usurps the throne, if you are so anxious, it will be too late!"
"Why does he usurp the throne?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows: "It's not from the blood of the Shen family, the name is not right, unless he kills all the Shen family members, but obviously, that is impossible."
"Even if you don't usurp the throne, it's not a problem to let him continue to hold the power." Prince Xiao sighed: "I thought you would be able to take back the power quietly when you came back, but who knew that Shen Qihuai's reaction was so fierce and he directly confronted us .”
The situation in the DPRK and China is unclear, a small number of people stand in line, and most of them are still waiting and watching.But the number of memorials sent to him this morning has decreased by a third compared to before.
"There's nothing wrong with facing directly." Shen Guyuan was still very calm: "If you don't break, you can't stand."
Seeing his attitude, Prince Xiao was not happy: "Guyuan, you are too optimistic, there are many party members in Shen Qihuai's court..."
"Uncle Emperor." Chi Yu next to him brought tea to him with a smile: "Calm down first."
How can you be so calm?Prince Xiao stared like a copper bell.
Chi Yu chuckled, stuffed the teacup into his hand, pushed him into the chair next to him, and said in a low voice, "Think about it carefully, since Uncle Sanhuang came back, what has changed in court?"
The change in the court is nothing more than...
etc!As soon as Prince Xiao's eyes lit up, he stood up after serving tea and looked at Prince Zhong beside him: "Is Yang Yanyu's case under trial?"
"Yes, I will be in charge." Prince Zhong nodded.
"Speaking of which, Zhong Wushen, the third envoy, was also involved in the corruption case. He is collecting evidence in his mansion recently, and Wen Zezhang has temporarily taken over the position of envoy of the third envoy." Prince Yi said: "This case is to be handed over to this Here comes the king's hand."
"Coincidentally." Prince Jing raised his eyebrows: "The case of Xuan Xiaolei, the former commander of the Forbidden Army, is with me, and Zhibai is trying him."
Clapping his hands excitedly, Prince Xiao turned his head and looked at Shen Guyuan with excitement on his face: "The Qiushou corruption case involved the Taiwei Mansion, the Third Division Envoy, and even the Commander Xuan was imprisoned. These three people, all of them It's Qi Huai's right-hand man!"
"Yes." Shen Guyuan said unhurriedly: "I didn't cut off his arm, but it is impossible for him to use these people now, unless he knows the law and breaks the law, and Li Daitao is stiff. However, as long as he dares to move, there will be The handle is in our hands, now, Shen Qihuai is the one who should be anxious."
The four princes' eyes lit up, they looked at each other, and stared at Shen Guyuan in unison.
Shen Guyuan pulled Chi Yu back in front of him expressionlessly, and said, "Don't think about throwing it all on me alone, it might not work out."
"No, no, no!" Prince Xiao sat down next to him, smiling until the creases on his face crumpled up: "What this king means is that with you here, we can rest assured."
"Don't." Shen Guyuan shook his head: "I'm new here, Shen Qihuai is much more familiar with the court rules than I am, and he also knows the secret way better than me. In terms of odds alone, he is better than me."
With his arms pinched by him, Chi Yu greeted the princes' fiery eyes, couldn't help swallowing, and said in a low voice, "Master is not omnipotent."
"Chi Yu." Prince Jing said with a smile: "You have been with Gu Yuan for a while, is it possible that you still don't believe in your master's ability?"
"Believe it, but..." Chi Yu pursed his lips, stood in front of Shen Guyuan with open arms to protect him, and said earnestly: "If you have the ability, you have the ability. I don't want him to do so many difficult things alone. agree."
Shen Guyuan was slightly taken aback, then looked up at her.
The little girl in front of her turned her back to him, her back was straight, she had the posture of an old hen, and said sternly: "It is rare for him to come back and continue to serve the royal family. It is also closely related to you, what to do is all on him? Then if Shen Qihuai succeeds in his treacherous scheme, don't you all blame my master?"
Prince Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Chi Yu, your master doesn't need your protection, don't look at him evasive, he knows it in his heart."
"Then I don't care." Chi Yu pursed her lips: "Everyone has the same blessings and the same difficulties!"
All the princes were stunned by her words, and they were caught off guard, but someone laughed out loud, with a clear voice that made people's hearts skip a beat.
Chi Yu blinked his eyes back to his senses, and saw the person behind him collapsed into the grand master's chair with his forehead propped up and smiling, a pair of beautiful eyes shimmered, as if the rain had just stopped, and the scenery of the mountains and the lake was beautiful.
Swallowing, Chi Yu blushed a little: "Master, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing." Pulling her to sit on his lap, Shen Guyuan looked at her deeply, with the corners of his mouth still hooked: "I'm glad I took in a good apprentice."
Heartbroken by these words, Chi Yu waved his hands in embarrassment, quickly stood up from him, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "All the uncles are here, pay attention!"
"What does it matter?" Shen Guyuan jokingly said: "As far as seniority is concerned, you have to call me Uncle Huang."
Chi Yu: "..."
It was originally a tense atmosphere in the imperial study room, but these two people are still flirting?Prince Filial Piety shook his head again and again, pulled Chiyu girl to stand aside, and said in a low voice, "You can talk after the discussion is over."
Chi Yu gave him an aggrieved look, and stretched out his hand to pinch his mouth.
"Guyuan." Prince Jing smiled and said, "We are not trying to trick you, starting today, what are you going to do, we who are the emperor's brothers will cooperate with you, how about it?"
"This is negotiable." Shen Guyuan nodded: "When there is something to do, I will definitely send someone to inform you."
"It's easy to talk about." Prince Xiao rubbed his hands, and finally became excited: "They have given us a bad blow, so let's return one too."
After all, they are members of the royal family, so what they hold in their hands is naturally very important, among other things, if Shen Qihuai wants to marry Yu Youwei, but Si Ming says that the characters are not compatible, then they will not be able to do it.
The two parties, the DPRK and China, gradually formed and began to confront each other. Chi Yu also became nervous. He changed his clothes every day when he got up, and squatted tensely by the bed to watch his master.
Shen Guyuan yawned and opened his eyes, not surprisingly, he saw two eyes that were bigger than the moon.
"What are you doing?" Frowning slightly, he impatiently pulled the quilt to cover himself.
"Master, don't you need to go out today?" Chi Yu looked at him expectantly: "Don't you need to go to the yamen or something like that? It's better to go to a palace!"
Glancing at her inexplicably, Shen Guyuan said, "What am I going out for? It's so cold outside."
"But..." Chi Yu said nervously: "Shen Qihuai has been moving a lot lately, walking outside all day long, the relationship between the upper and lower is well managed!"
"Let him go." Closing his eyes sleepily, Shen Guyuan stretched out his hand to grab her back into his arms, and said impatiently: "You little girl, what do you care so much about? Are you done with piano lessons?"
"Practice is over!" Chi Yu waved his paws and said anxiously: "The piano lesson is not the point at all, master, we can't sit and wait for death! I have made up my mind, I can expose all the bad things Shen Qihuai has done, so that he can be exposed in the future." The prestige of the DPRK and China is shaken!"
"En." Shen Guyuan said lightly: "Then drag yourself into the water, maybe you have to stay in a prison."
"What does it matter!" Chi Yu said: "As long as I can restrain him, I'm not afraid of going to prison. Besides, with Master around, I'm always considerate!"
Frowning slightly, Shen Guyuan opened his eyes and looked at the person in his arms: "Are you asking me to use you?"
"It's not a use." Chi Yu shrugged: "Everyone helps each other."
With a soft snort, Shen Guyuan pressed her head into his arms: "If you sleep honestly, you'll be doing me a favor."
Chi Yu was not reconciled, and moved left and right: "Now the four princes are all counting on you to control the overall situation, I am worried about you!"
The corners of his lips curled slightly, Shen Guyuan rubbed against her, and went back to sleep in a good mood.
Chi Yu couldn't figure it out, did he have a plan in mind, or was it nothing to do with it?If it was Shen Qihuai, he would definitely ask her to help assassinate someone, or steal something from someone's mansion without saying a word.But my own master, she sent it to my door, why didn't he use it?
After a good night's sleep, Shen Guyuan got up and ordered Chef Hao to make a lot of delicious food. Chi Yu followed behind him, still thinking: "Even if you have made all the arrangements, tell me the situation first. Otherwise, I would be very worried... And wow, the people who came to visit the house, why have they all gone to Nanyuan? Shouldn't they come to see you? You are still in the mood to eat candied haws!"
Biting the candied haws, Shen Guyuan asked her: "Want to eat grilled fish?"
"Eat!" Chi Yu replied angrily.
So, when Zhao Yinma came over, he saw Chi Yu girl resentfully eating a bunch of delicious grilled fish, and when she saw him coming, she called out pitifully: "Brother."
Zhao Yinma laughed and said: "Why are you not happy when you have something to eat?"
Nunu pointed at the person next to him, and Chi Yu was very unhappy: "He won't let me help."
Zhao Yinma was taken aback, and looked at Shen Guyuan in surprise: "If Chi Yu is willing to help, we will get twice the result with half the effort. What is the third prince stopping?"
Shen Guyuan looked at him, his eyes narrowed.
So Zhao Yinma turned his head, stared at Chi Yu immediately and said, "You too, a girl's family, what are you messing with? Just eat well!"
Chi Yu: "..."
"Cough." Being a little embarrassed by her stare, Zhao Yinma hurriedly said: "I'm here to talk about business, and the year-end memorial service will be held soon. The imperial guards in the palace are very large. It's my first time to take over, and I'm in a hurry. I want to ask the prince Someone to help."
"Who?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows.
"Li Shengquan, an official in the Ministry of War."
Shen Guyuan glanced at him: "Do you have friendship with you?"
Scratching the back of his head, Zhao Yinma said a little embarrassedly: "I used to be a classmate, and we went to private school together for several years. Later, he entered a civil service position, and I became a military commander. I have never had a chance to meet each other. I only recently heard that he offended someone before. , I have been serving as an internal official for two years."
"If you want this favor, I can give it to you." Shen Guyuan said: "But if he doesn't work, I can ask you."
"Thank you, my lord!" Zhao Yinma happily cupped his hands.
Chi Yu gnawed on the grilled fish and looked at him, thinking that his big brother Jinlan was really innocent. When he came to ask for favors, he at least offered something.
However, such a person makes people feel comfortable, has no calculations, is frank and honest, and can be trusted with confidence.
"By the way, Master Zhibai also asked me to send a letter." After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Yinma continued: "Recently, Shen Qihuai is trying to win over the people in the cabinet. The weight of words is also very heavy, Shen Qihuai sent people to send a lot of gifts, and invited them to swim in the lake together."
Bachelor Li?Chi Yu blinked, feeling a little familiar.
"You don't have to worry about this, let him feel at ease." Shen Guyuan said: "He can't bribe Li Zhixiao."
There are few people in the world who don't love money. Shen Qihuai threw down a lot of things, and there are people who can't be bribed?Chi Yu was suspicious.
However, in the evening, someone wearing a cloak came to Prince Renshan's mansion.
"Chi Yu, pour tea." Shen Guyuan said lightly.
Ning Chiyu recovered from the stunned state, stretched out his hand to pour tea, and handed it over respectfully: "Graduate scholar, please use tea."
Li Zhixiao glanced at her, and said with a light smile: "The third prince is really amazing. The princess who used to be sympathetic to the palace of the prince is now serving tea and water at your place."
"A disciple should be filial to his master." Shen Guyuan took a sip of his tea and handed over a box: "You should take a look at this first."
Li Zhixiao glanced at the box, but did not reach out: "The third prince also practiced this way of bribery?"
Shen Guyuan glanced at him and frowned slightly.
Li Zhixiao put his hands together and sneered: "If you talk about bribes, what the Lord of Compassion gave today is not comparable to this mahogany box. I thought the Lord had something else to say, but I didn't expect that he and the Lord of Mercy are going the same way. The old man will take his leave first."
After all, he got up and planned to leave.
"My lord." Chi Yu stood sideways in front of him and saluted, "How do you know what it is if you don't look at it?"
"This kind of carved wooden box is usually used to give gifts." Li Zhixiao sneered: "It's not a gift, what else can it be?"
"It's indeed a gift." Shen Guyuan said, "But I didn't give it to you."
Slightly taken aback, Li Zhixiao looked back at him: "Aren't you going to send me off?"
"This is the birthday gift sent by the third envoy to the palace for the young emperor." Shen Guyuan reached out and touched the carved mahogany box, and said, "Aren't you curious about what it is?"
Li Zhixiao paused, remembering the turbulent autumn harvest corruption incident, hesitated for a moment, and went over to open the box curiously.
The warm jade light flowed out, making people's eyes widen in shock.The Jade Avalokitesvara in the box is holding a bottle, with compassionate eyes, and its carving is unparalleled in the world.
"This!" Taking out the Guanyin to take a closer look, Li Zhixiao became excited: "This is the Jade Guanyin buried with my late father!"
The last word was almost snarled, and Chi Yu was so startled that he took half a step back.
Shen Guyuan said slowly: "The young emperor gave it to me. There is a record in the palace. It is the gift from Zhong Wushen that is correct."
"This son of a bitch!" Li Zhixiao was trembling with anger, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked left and right, saw a saber hanging on the wall, took it out and walked out.
"Hey!" Chi Yu came back to his senses, and quickly called out to him: "My lord, what are you doing?"
Furious, Li Zhixiao ignored Chi Yu and completely ignored that he was a civil servant, so he raised his sword and rushed out!
Chi Yu looked back at his master in a daze, and then at the Jade Guanyin in the half-open box on the table, and said in shock, "How could this be something buried with you?"
Shen Guyuan propped his chin, and said lazily: "Scholar Li has been clean and honest all his life, but he has been an official for more than ten years, and he has a lot of savings. He is very stingy about everything, but he is very generous with his father's funeral objects. This Jade Avalokitesvara is the most important burial object, it is worth thousands of gold, and it was bought with his life savings."
That's not the point, the point is that all the funeral objects were bought as congratulatory gifts and sent to the palace, and the tomb of Li Dashi's biological father... no wonder he went crazy, who can bear this?
Chi Yu shook his head and sighed: "Master Zhong is really careless, why did he buy such a thing."
Shen Guyuan chuckled: "The Jade Guanyin sold for three thousand gold after it was unearthed, and it is the treasure of the Jade Store. Zhong Wushen didn't intend to buy it, but it is the most expensive, and it is most beneficial to sell his stolen silver, so I chose this without hesitation."
If he hadn't happened to see it, this thing would have been put in the treasury and never seen the light of day.
Chi Yu chuckled twice, leaned over to his master, and beat his legs for him.
"If you want to ask anything, just ask." Shen Guyuan snorted: "Don't come here."
"Aren't I afraid that you will be impatient?" Chi Yu chuckled twice: "Every time I ask you a question, you are not willing to answer it."
Rolling his eyes, Shen Guyuan said: "That's also because you are asking boring questions."
"Not all of them." Chi Yu blinked: "For example, Tuer has always wanted to know, why do you know everything? Then Yuguanyin, since the third envoy didn't recognize that it was buried with Li Dashi's biological father, then you How do you know?"
Shen Guyuan paused, then picked up his teacup as if nothing had happened: "It happens that I have heard about this before, and I have also seen this Jade Guanyin."
"Really?" Chi Yu tilted his head: "Could it be a bit too coincidental?"
With a straight face, Shen Guyuan said impatiently: "If you are bored, go practice the piano for another hour!"
With a broken face, Chi Yu said: "Look, you are like this again."
Uncle Shen was upset, he raised his legs and looked at her with an expression of "I'm like this, what can you do to me".
Chi Yu put his hands together in frustration, bowed to him, and ran to hold the piano.
She has been thoroughly understood by the master inside and out, but when will she be able to understand the secret of the master?
Li Zhixiao forced his way into the Sansi Mansion, wounded people with a sword, and was directly sent to the Tingwei Yamen by the guards of the Sansi Mansion.When Shen Qihuai heard the news, he rushed over immediately and released Li Zhixiao back.
"It's very lively now." Shen Zhibai stretched out his hand and handed Mrs. Tang to Chi Yu, and said with a smile: "On one side is the old department who committed a crime, and on the other side is the bachelor who is trying to win over. Guess how Shen Qihuai will choose?"
Chi Yu said: "With his temperament, he will choose both, and he will not let go."
"It's up to him." Shen Zhibai shook his head: "Zhong Wushen was so angry that he obviously wouldn't swallow it, and Li Dashi was even more angry, as if he had revenge on Mr. Zhong for killing his father! , You didn't see that Li Dashi looked at Wen Ruo, and raised his sword to chop people, and he was very powerful."
"He was out of breath, he chopped blindly." Shen Guyuan said: "In a real fight, his bone might not be the opponent of Zhong Wushen."
"That's true." After finishing the business, Shen Zhibai turned his head to look at Chi Yu and said, "I got a piece of good material recently, and I thought I had nowhere to give it away, so I made you a jacket, take a look."
As he spoke, he handed over a bundle wrapped in silk.
As soon as Chi Yu's eyes lit up, he reached out and took it.When I opened it, I saw that it was Xuehu's coat, and it was very warm to the touch.
"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Holding it with a smile, Chi Yu said: "It's a coincidence that you gave it to me. Master said yesterday that he would make me a jacket, so I can save it now."
Shen Zhibai's brows moved slightly, he turned his head to look at Shen Guyuan, then looked at Chi Yu and said, "As long as you like it."
"I like it very much!" Chi Yu said with emotion: "I finally live the days when someone rushes to give me skirts!"
"Huh?" Shen Zhibai chuckled lightly: "Have you not had it before?"
"I used to... I didn't wear skirts." Wrinkling his nose, Chi Yu said, "I always think leggings are fast and neat. But now I'm used to it, and I think skirts look good."
Shen Zhibai was in a good mood, reached out and tapped on the table lightly, and said with a smile: "Since it looks good, change it for me to see."
"Okay!" Chi Yu didn't think too much, and went to the inner room to change clothes while holding the skirt.
There were only two people left in the outer room, Shen Zhibai raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked sideways at the person beside him who had been silent all this time.
Shen Guyuan had no expression on his face, he swiped the teacup with his fingers, showing no emotion.
"Uncle Three Emperors." Shen Zhibai hooked his lips: "I seem to know how to make her happy, thank you."
"You're welcome." Shen Guyuan didn't look at him, but only looked down at the floating tea leaves in the cup, and said indifferently: "If she can like you, that's naturally the best."
"I still need the help of the emperor." Shen Zhibai cupped his hands at him: "The first snow is coming soon, before it snows, I want to take Chi Yu to a place."
"Where do you want her to go, why don't you just take her there?" Shen Guyuan said, "How can I help?"
"Chi Yu doesn't like to go out and walk around the house recently." Shen Zhibai shrugged helplessly: "She said that she needs your permission to go out, so...won't Uncle Huang not help?"
Shen Guyuan sneered: "I didn't tie her up in this room, what do you mean I need my permission? When she changes out later, you just take her there."
"Okay." Shen Zhibai's eyes brightened slightly: "Thank you, Uncle Huang!"
Shen Guyuan half closed his eyes, continued to drink tea lazily, glanced at the inner room with the curtain drawn from the corner of his eye.
Chi Yu happily changed her clothes, and turned around when she came out: "How is it?"
Xuejin's waistcoat was embroidered with red carp and wrapped in white fox fur, which looked delicate and noble.Shen Zhibai nodded again and again: "It looks good!"
"Master?" Chi Yu winked at Shen Guyuan, acting charming.
Shen Guyuan squinted at her, curled his lips: "It's okay."
Seeing his expression, Chi Yu's face collapsed, and he said unhappily: "I don't want to say a good word every time, it's really not flattering!"
Whether she likes it or not, what does it have to do with him?Shen Guyuan snorted coldly, put down the teacup with his sleeves, pointed outside and said, "Let's go for a walk with Lord Zhibai, today is sunny."
"Okay, okay!" Without any hesitation, Chi Yu nodded and said, "Where are you going?"
Didn't even hesitate?Shen Guyuan squinted his eyes, and stared at her with a half-smile: "Go wherever you like!"
"Chi Yu." Shen Zhibai stood up, covered Shen Guyuan's face, and smiled excitedly: "I found a good place outside the capital. It was just repaired, and it's beautiful. Hurry up before it snows. have a look!"
"Really?" Chi Yu's eyes lit up: "Okay, but when will you be back?"
"It will take less than two hours." Taking her hand, Shen Zhibai ran out directly.
"Hey?" Chi Yu staggered two steps, looked back at Shen Guyuan and asked, "Master, isn't he going?"
"Don't go."
Chi Yu was slightly taken aback.
The red-clothed and white-haired man was sitting on the main seat like a stone statue, his expression was unclear, and his whole body seemed to be covered by a cloud of black mist, probably because the light in the room was too dark and there were no lights on.While she was in a daze, Shen Guyuan got up and walked towards the inner room casually.
Master is unwilling to go out, right?Chi Yu thought for a while, then turned his attention and looked ahead: "Young Master, did you come here by car?"
"Well, it's just outside." Shen Zhibai smiled, his lips were red and his teeth were white.
Chi Yu nodded, followed him into the car with his skirt up, and headed to the good place he said.
There are many patrolling guards on the streets of the capital. It seems that the atmosphere is tense, and none of the people dare to raise their voices. It makes people feel depressed just looking at them.But when the car left the city gate, everything suddenly became clear.
A tree-lined road, both sides are full of winter plums, yellow and red, full of fragrance.Chi Yu looked at it in surprise, couldn't help stretching out his hand, and picked a wintersweet that grew to the car window.
"It smells so good." Taking a breath, Chi Yu was very happy: "This smell is so familiar."
"Winter is here, once the plum blossoms bloom, every household has flower arrangements, of course we are familiar with it." Shen Zhibai looked at her deeply: "There are more ahead."
Is there any more?Chi Yu hurriedly opened the curtain to look.
The plum blossoms on both sides are receding, and the end of the road seems to be a temple, but, unlike other red walls and yellow tiles, the temple has white walls and red tiles, and the scattered halls look very beautiful from a distance.
"What is this place?" Chi Yu asked in surprise.
"Yuelao Temple." Shen Zhibai said: "It was only recently completed, I heard that the fortune-telling inside is very good, the flowers are also very fragrant, and the lottery is also very accurate."
Naturally, Chi Yu had never been to this kind of place, and just looked at it curiously with a pair of big eyes.
"Twenty-four winds blow open the red calyx, and realize that bees and butterflies are envoys. There is always a karma, and the boundless flowers of the Fragrant Country have owners." When they reached the door, Chi Yu looked at Lianzi and read.
Shen Zhibai laughed, and opened his mouth to accept her second couplet: "I will tie the red rope for 100 years, I hope Li Yaotao will be married, and the love will never grow old and the moon will be round."
It seemed very interesting, Chi Yu was speechless, and stepped in with her skirt in hand.
"Dang—" A bell rang somewhere, Chi Yu looked back blankly, and saw plum blossoms protruding from the eaves with fragrant stamens.In a trance, she seemed to see Shen Guyuan's face, which was full of color and fragrance.
With a low laugh, Chi Yu shook his head, and followed Shen Zhibai inside.
"You were in a bad mood a few days ago, and I can't call you." Shen Zhibai looked at her and said, "It seems that the past few days have suddenly opened up."
