Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 385 Out of the City
Shen Li couldn't dodge in time, so he was hit on the shoulder, and the huge force made him kneel down on the spot. He grinned, raised his head in confusion, and was greeted by the angrily voice of Old Mrs. Shen, "You bastard!"

"Grandpa, what did your grandson do? Are you so angry?" Shen Li was beaten for no reason. In addition, he was spoiled in Shen's residence in the past, and he had never been beaten when he grew up. At this moment, old Mrs. Shen came suddenly In this way, apart from the initial confusion, he didn't have the slightest fear, turned his head and glared at the two servants, "Who told you two to send a letter to the family, so dare to betray me?"

Seeing his expression of not knowing what was wrong, Mrs. Shen stroked his chest and panted uncontrollably, and tapped the ground with a cane in his hand, "You bastard, you stupid bastard, how dare you blame others? If I don't come, you are afraid that you will sell the entire Shen family."

When he thought that he was making a deal with the crown prince without hesitation, and it was still a matter of buying an official, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. They don't even have the face to meet the ancestors of the Shen family.

At the beginning, Shen Li said that he would come to the capital to open a shop, exercise his ability, shut up the clan elders, and manage the business of the capital by the way. He only thought that this kid was enlightened, and let him out by himself. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be With this idea in mind.I heard that it was still for a woman, and he wanted to see what kind of woman was able to fascinate his precious grandson.

Old Mrs. Shen hadn't seen Huang Chenyan yet, so he had a problem with her from the bottom of his heart.This person has always been eccentric, and only looks towards his own children, just like Marquis Jingwu believed that Shen Li, as the son of a merchant, was not worthy of Huang Chenyan. The emperor's daughter, there is no one in this world who can't be married. Thinking of that woman showing off to drive Shen Li out, he couldn't help being angry.

But what was even more irritating was Shen Li's attitude. The other party made it clear that it was impossible, but he still posted it, and even took a risk. It was really annoying.Old Mrs. Shen recovered her breath, leaning on her crutches and looking at him, "Tell me, who is it that made you so virtuous? How dare you bribe His Highness the Crown Prince? Do you know how big a crime it is to buy an official?"

"What's wrong with buying an official?" Shen Li looked puzzled, "What's more, Yan'er is a good girl, grandpa, don't talk nonsense, I like her myself. As for buying an official, it's not because I'm a businessman, she But the direct daughter of Marquis Jingwu, if I am not an official, how can I go to propose marriage?"

Seeing that he has not yet realized the danger of buying an official, Mrs. Shen couldn't help sighing, "Li'er, come here, this is the foot of the emperor in the capital, not Liuzhou. If you dare to bribe and buy an official with money, if you are caught , not to mention that your head fell to the ground, even my Shen family will be doomed."

Shen Yue froze on the spot, dumbfounded, and after a long while, he finally came to his senses, "How could it be, grandpa, then what should I do?"

Seeing his flustered appearance, Mrs. Shen couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.When it comes to business matters, Shen Li has always been a self-taught man. Most of the shops in Liuzhou are managed by him. In just one year, the profit of the shop has doubled.According to common sense, he would have been able to inherit the family business long ago and manage the Shen family's business in place of Shen's father.But his eldest son is not very enlightened. He obviously has no talent for business, but he still clings to it. After so many years, the Shen family's business has remained the same, and he does not dislike it. Shame panicked.If it weren't for the great business of the Shen family, they would have lost money long ago.

Now he is even joining the elders of the clan to make things difficult for his son. The old man Shen's eyes were dark, he coughed, and pulled Shen Li back from his thoughts, "Okay, fortunately the prince hasn't given you a letter yet, you just have to be This incident didn’t happen, so prepare a gift for all the other princes in the capital, don’t offend anyone. Even if the emperor knows about it, he won’t say anything more.”

As soon as Shen Li heard that he was going to give a gift, he immediately showed a heartbroken expression, and subconsciously covered his purse. Seeing this, Mrs. Shen raised his crutch angrily and wanted to hit him again.Shen Yue stepped back quickly, avoiding his crutches, let go of his hands, and nodded solemnly, "Grandson knows."

Seeing that he understood the seriousness of the matter, Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the servant to take him to the next room to rest.Shen Li watched the old man Shen leave, and turned his head to look at the servant in an instant. The servant was startled, and quickly took a step back, "My lord, you can't blame me for this. It was the old man who asked the little one to watch you, so you don't mess around."

Shen Li kicked him on the leg, and scolded with a smile, "Don't think that it's Grandpa's order, I can just forgive you, it's not an example."

The servant nodded quickly and laughed.

There was no movement here, the prince only thought that Shen Li would come to him again, and was thinking about how to get Shen Li into the trap.

After Xia Zijin received the prescription, after thinking about it, regardless of Xia Shengqing's objection, he let him stay in the capital, went to Jingwuhou's mansion by himself, and explained Ming Shengdi's situation to Huang Chenyan.

Huang Chenyan originally thought that Ming Shengdi pretended to be ill because of Xia Qin and Xia Shengqing, but she didn't expect to be really ill. These are the three medicines."

Previously, in order to save his father, the Marquis of Jingwu's Mansion had turned against Xia Qin. If Ming Shengdi really couldn't get sick, only Xia Qin would benefit.According to his temperament, he must not be able to tolerate the Marquis of Jingwu who might be dissatisfied with him.Even if Xia Zijin was his imperial sister, if he didn't act blatantly for a while, he would definitely not let her go in the future.

Seeing her serious expression, Xia Zijin knew that she had understood the seriousness of the matter, and was inexplicably relieved.It is really difficult for her to go to the snow mountain alone, and I am afraid that she will die on the mountain road before she goes up the mountain.Xia Shengqing originally asked to go with her, but who knows how long the trick laid down by Ming Shengdi can confuse Xia Qin, and he can't leave Beijing at this time no matter what.

Only she and Huang Chenyan are the most suitable candidates to go to collect herbs, and they will say that they are going out of the city to play, which can also confuse Xia Qin, making him think that Ming Shengdi is pretending to be sick, otherwise, what can she do? Will have the mind to go out and play.

This strategy is still very dangerous in the final analysis, the most urgent thing is to bring back the healing medicinal materials as soon as possible.

The news that Huang Chenyan had left the city quickly reached Shen Yue's ears.Before Mrs. Shen could stop him, he realized that there was no one in his grandson's room, and he was so angry that he couldn't help sticking his cane.

Xia Zijin sat in the carriage, clasped her hands together, and lifted her heart into her throat, feeling extremely nervous.After going back here, maybe the capital will change.Huang Chenyan stretched out his hand to hold her palm, "Zijin, don't be nervous, the emperor will be fine."

Although Ming Shengdi was a little more ruthless in the past, he was still superficially polite to his courtiers. As long as his courtiers were loyal, Ming Shengdi would not be stingy.If it were Xia Qin, the first thing to be dealt with would be Jingwuhou Mansion.Huang Chenyan was well aware of this, so she also sincerely hoped that Ming Shengdi would be safe and sound.

Xia Zijin nodded, sweeping away the complicated emotions in his heart, and just about to speak, the carriage shook suddenly, and then stopped.She immediately frowned, "What's going on?"

Zhenwen's voice came from outside immediately, "Back to the princess, our carriage has been stopped."

Xia Zijin lifted the curtain in an instant and saw a carriage blocked in front of her. She clenched her palms subconsciously and stared at him vigilantly. Wen squinted his eyes, and if there was anything wrong with the other party, he would strike immediately.

Just when Xia Zijin was guessing whether the other party was someone sent by Xia Qin, he suddenly stretched out a hand full of fleshy pits from the curtain of the carriage, followed closely, and a coquettish man dressed in gold and silver came out of the carriage. Jumping down, Xia Zijin saw that his whole body was shining with gold, and he almost wrote the words "My Lord is rich" on his forehead, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Immediately afterwards, her expression became ugly, watching him walking towards the carriage, she immediately winked at Zhenwen.Zhenwen drew his sword instantly, and put it on Shen Li's neck.Shen Li's servant watched from behind and immediately shouted, "Young Master, be careful!"

Shen Yue didn't realize it, and when he realized that his neck was cold, Zhenwen grabbed his shoulders, put his long sword against his neck, and brought him to Xia Zijin.Xia Zijin looked at him trembling, and snorted coldly, "Say, who sent you here, and what are your plans?"

"My lord... I, I'm here to find Yan'er." Just as Shen Li was about to make a gesture, he met Xia Zijin's interrogating gaze, and immediately shrank his neck and pretended to be a quail, "I heard that you are going out to play , Why don't you take me with you?"

Xia Zijin looked him up and down, and after confirming that he was telling the truth, he couldn't help but sighed with his hands on his forehead, and gave Huang Chenyan a strange look.Huang Chenyan glared at him resentfully, turned his head and burrowed in.Shen Lihe looked at Xia Zijin pitifully, trying to soften her heart.

"What good will it do us if you follow us?" Xia Zijin originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought of the first two kinds of medicinal materials needed by Ming Shengdi. At present, only snow lotus can be found on the snow mountain.But if the person looking for medicinal materials is replaced by Shen Yue, maybe there will be a solution.With the Shen family's financial resources, it shouldn't be too difficult to find these two medicinal materials.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Zijin looked at Shen Yue with interest. Shen Yue was covered with chills, subconsciously covered his arms, and said pitifully, "Princess, I am a showman but not a person... ..."

The expression on Xia Zijin's face froze, then he sneered and kicked him off, "Bah! You think so well!"
