One day’s plans always passed quickly, when Shen Miao came to Fengxian’s pawnshop on the third day, the Chen brothers had already waited for a long time.
Compared to before, the two seem to have changed a lot. Especially Chen Yueshan, that kind of boldness like a green mountain has disappeared, replaced by a deep haze. Shen Miao glanced at Chen Yueshan and Chen Yuehai and had an idea in her heart. Presumably these two have already inquired about Chen's sister, and maybe they have seen it with their own eyes. Witnessing such a miserable situation with one's own eyes may be a great stimulus for the decisive Jianghu people. Otherwise, the Chen family in the previous life would not have gone to assassinate Prince Yu regardless of the consequences.
"Miss Shen," Chen Yuehai spoke first. He said, "Miss Shen said earlier that the members of the royal family could not track down the Chen family. Can you tell my brothers?"
Ji Yushu looked at his teacup and seemed to be able to see a flower in it, but he deliberately did not look at Shen Miao.
Shen Miao sighed: "Of course I also want to help, but as I said before, in this way, the risks I take are also enormous, in a certain way, the Shen family and your Chen family are also tied together. If something goes wrong on the boat, the Shen family will suffer."
Chen Yueshan paused and said, "I know that this trip is a bit difficult, so... If the girl is willing to help, I will share half of the Chen family's business with the Shen family."
As soon as these words came out, Rao Shi Ji Yushu couldn't help but look up at Chen Yueshan.
The Chen family is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River has been a rich place since ancient times. The Chen family has more money than the royal family. Now, taking the initiative to split half of the family business, for the Shen family, it is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger.
When Shen Miao heard this, she couldn't help being a little dazed when she saw Chen Yueshan's pleading face. The sisters of the Chen family were tortured. For revenge, the Chen family was willing to pay such a price, knowing that even if she made a move, she would not really be able to sit back and relax. Even so, they are willing to gamble, which can only show the status of the Chen family sisters in the hearts of the Chen family. In her previous life, she was imprisoned and left alone in the harem. If the Shen family was still there at that time, would her parents and elder brothers save her at all costs
“Miss Shen?” Seeing Shen Miao in a trance, Chen Yueshan reminded.
Shen Miao came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and said, "Half of the family business is enough, I will help with this, but it is not for your family's family business, it is just to form a good relationship, there will be places where you need your Chen family in the future, I hope you don't refuse. Secondly, I also have a grudge with Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Yu's Mansion will not be destroyed, and one day it will be troublesome." She looked at Chen Yueshan: "Now we are on the same boat."
Chen Yueshan looked at Shen Miao in front of her, her eyes were clear and her tone was sincere, as if the words she spoke were loud and clear, and every word she spoke could be fulfilled. From the first time she met to now, she has not acted like a little girl in the cardamom age. Chen Yueshan couldn't help thinking, if the sisters of the Chen family could also have the temperament and methods of the girl in front of them, would they not be so miserable now.
Thinking of the Chen family sisters, Chen Yueshan's slightly improved mood immediately became cloudy again. He said, "What is Miss Shen's solution?"
"The royal family, you don't have to ask for a while, it will be better after a while. In addition, if you want to do it, it is best to do it next month, next month, Prince Yu's residence, Prince Yu is going to marry my cousin, the second day of marriage. You must be slack everywhere, and when you start in the early morning, you should be foolproof."
"You..." Chen Yueshan wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and said, "How can you end the royal family within a month?"
Shen Miao glanced at Ji Yushu who was drinking tea, "You don't need to worry about it. The most urgent thing is that you are gathering people." After a while, she continued, "Prince Yu's residence is not small, you must You have to find out the pattern first, and on the day you start, except for my cousin, after you rescue people, you must cut down the weeds and roots of them."
"Don't worry, our brothers know." Chen Yuehai said.
"I don't know what the rules are for you to destroy the family. When I say cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, I mean that no matter whether it is women, children, children, or concubines, all of them will not be left alive. The entire Prince Yu's residence has completely become a tomb."
Chen Yueshan and Chen Yuehai were both stunned, Chen Yuehai frowned: "Is the servant concubines too? Most of those concubines are poor people kidnapped by Prince Yu."
Shen Miao sneered, "A hundred-legged worm dies and does not become stiff, if Young Master Chen wants to show mercy, it will only kill the Chen family and my Shen family will also be implicated."
She said it coldly, and after a while, Chen Yueshan nodded: "We will not leave a living room to drag the girl down."
“It’s so good.” Shen Miao said, “Then I wish you two great revenge and bloodbath the palace.”
After talking with the Chen brothers for a while, the Chen brothers got up and said goodbye. After they left, Ji Yushu finally said: "Miss Shen, you seem to know a lot of things at such a young age. I could see clearly just now that the Chen brothers are also well-informed people. I actually followed your arrangement, Miss Shen, this is the first time I have met a smart and beautiful woman like you. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to go out to the countryside with you in the spring, enjoy the lake and boats in the summer night, and in the late autumn..." Front He said it well, but the more he said later, the more outrageous he became.
“Manager Ji,” Shen Miao asked, “You don’t just want to tell me this, right?”
"Cough," Ji Yushu cleared his throat: "Actually, I just want to tell Miss Shen that the news has been made and spread to the palace. I think it won't take long for Miss Shen to achieve the result she wants. already."
Shen Miao was slightly startled, although she knew that Feng Xian pawnshop had the ability, but she did not know that the other party moved so fast, there must be someone in the palace to answer, otherwise she would have to quietly infiltrate a message into the palace , I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble. The water in this Fengxian pawnshop is also very deep. She didn't hide her deal with the Chen brothers just now, but she knew that she couldn't hide it at all.
"There is the shopkeeper Lao Ji." Shen Miao lowered her eyes, "After the matter is achieved, the promises made with the shopkeeper before will be counted."
Ji Yushu was silent for a while, and then asked with a rare seriousness, "Miss Shen, there is something I don't understand."
"Please say."
"Miss Shen is doing business with me at the expense of the Shen family, so I am not afraid that one day, I will ask the Shen family to do dangerous things and push the Shen family to the forefront. This transaction is not worth it." After saying this, Ji Yu Shu just stared at Shen Miao and paid attention to Shen Miao's expression.
Shen Miao did not blink and said lightly, "Instead of worrying about the difficulties in the future, it is better to worry about the current problems. If that day comes, it can only be said that it is the fate of my Shen family."
Ji Yushu was a little confused: "Really?"
“Fake.” In the secret room, Xie Jing Xing said lazily listening to the movement from one side.
"Only a fool like Yu Shu would believe her words." Gao Yang said, "This girl's deception skills are already perfect, how can Yu Shu be her opponent?"
“Don’t worry.” Xie Jing Xing said slowly, “Get on my boat and think about it, it’s not that simple.”
When Shen Miao got up to leave Ji Yushu, Ji Yushu suddenly said, "By the way, Miss Shen, the girl Liu Ying you asked me to inquire about before seems to be missing. If Miss Shen is in a hurry, maybe these few days. There are results."
However, Shen Miao's answer made Ji Yushu stunned for a while, Shen Miao said, "No hurry, shopkeeper Ji will look for it slowly, I will also... wait."
After she left, Ji Yushu shook his head and said as he walked into the room: "She is a woman who is more incomprehensible than Miss Shaoyao. At least Miss Shaoyao will be happy to send pearls, this one... Would the heads be happier?" He fought a cold fight and hurriedly walked into the house.
…
in the palace.
In the emperor's study, the memorials on the desk were already stacked in a high stack. Emperor Wen Hui was sitting at the table with the papers in front of him spread out, but he didn't even look at it. He is already in the year of destiny, and he is about to enter his sixtieth year. Although he is still in good spirits, his temples are also white with stars. Things in the world are probably just a cycle of reincarnation, and there was also a youthful spirit. When he scolded Fang Qiu, even though he was full of courage now, everyone looked at him, but he was still a tiger that was getting old.
There will always be a new tiger to take his place.
At this moment, Emperor Wen Hui's complexion darkened. As he got older, he became thinner and thinner, but his skin seemed to be sticking to the bones because of his slack, showing a strange old state. He opened his mouth hoarsely, and could vaguely hear the monstrous anger in it.
"Old Eleven really killed an identical assassin?"
The two men in black standing in front of them said, "Your Majesty, yes, the people who were caught have been tortured. In addition, the Prince's cronies who were caught by the Prince's Palace also personally admitted that the Prince executed a masked guard a few days ago."
Emperor Wen Hui closed his eyes, raised his hand suddenly, and the paperweight on the table flew out, cracking into several pieces on the ground. After a while, he sneered: "Old Eleven, I still underestimate him!"
There are many eyes and ears in the palace, concubines, courtiers, and even the queen. Of course, these eyes and ears are for survival in the palace. Whoever gets the most news will have the advantage of victory. The emperor is no exception, only with his eyes everywhere, this dragon chair will be more stable when sitting.
At first, I accidentally learned from the eyeliner that after Prince Yu killed an assassin who was exactly the same as before, Emperor Wen Hui still didn't believe it. The royal relationship is so cold and thin, and his throne was only sitting on the corpses of his brothers. Prince Yu, who was ranked eleven at the time, was left because Emperor Wen Hui always remembered that dangerous night. Prince Yu shielded himself from danger and saved his life dripping with blood.
Emperor Wen Hui often thinks that for so many years, he has been good to Prince Yu, not only because of the kindness of that leg, but also because of the kindness of Emperor Wen Hui from the side. Sitting in the position of King of God, everyone's feelings towards him are no longer pure, even his sons are calculating. But Prince Yu was able to remind Emperor Wen Hui that there was still one person in this world who could block the sword for him regardless of safety, and that he still had a close sibling.
But now, it seems like a big joke. It seemed that the scene at the beginning was a scene arranged by this "closest sibling", and even Emperor Wen Hui suspected that the abolished leg of Prince Yu was also a fake.
What exactly does Prince Yu want to do? Conspiracy? usurped? The history books recorded so many rebellious causes of keeping a low profile and turning against the water, but Emperor Wen Hui only had the anger and insults of being deceived.
Betrayed by those who are trusted, trust will be withdrawn, not only that, but also increased suspicion. People in the royal family were always suspicious. In the past, they did not doubt Prince Yu because of his sincerity. Now that sincerity has become false, the seeds of suspicion of the royal family immediately grew into a towering tree that no one could shake.
"Send someone to guard Prince Yu's mansion, but I want to see what tricks he wants to play!"
Eunuch Gao lowered his head, looked at his eyes and nose, and looked at his toes silently, as if he had never heard the emperor's anger at all. But there is a slight sigh in my heart: troubled autumn, troubled autumn.
…
Days passed, and nothing seemed to happen in the peaceful Ding capital. With the approaching of the New Year's Day, people are busy buying New Year's goods, even poor people seem to be filled with a touch of joy.
However, no matter how happy the day is, there will be people who are not happy.
In the palace, King Li was walking with King Xiang in the garden.
In the Li Wang faction, King Xiang and King Cheng were weak, and they were very respectful to King Li. Compared with the stability of the prince, the sharpness of Zhou Wangjing's brothers, and the middle way of Li Wang, he is not the most outstanding in talent, and his mother is not the most favored, but he is extremely smooth and smooth, whether it is courtiers or Brother, I am willing to sell him a face, but in private, he is an out-and-out smiling tiger.
"Sixth brother, these days, I heard that the father and emperor are very indifferent to Wang Shu." King Xiang said.
"You heard that too." Li Wang smiled. When he laughed, small wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he looked very easy-going. His attitude was also very easy-going, and he chatted with King Xiang: "My father has a high regard for Uncle Wang. These times when Uncle Wang has something to ask for, and several times when he has entered the palace, the royal father actually refuses because he is busy with business, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the royal father is the king. It was intentional to hang Uncle Wang."
What Emperor Wenhui did to Prince Yu could be said to be benevolent and righteous. At the beginning, Emperor Wenhui had a favorite concubine who offended Prince Yu, and the favored concubine's family was still quite powerful. He also warned everyone in public: "Eleven is my brother, and if you disrespect him, you are disrespectful to me!" It was precisely because Emperor Wenhui was almost responsive to Prince Yu's request that this sudden change in attitude was noticed by everyone.
"But why?" King Xiang wondered: "What did Uncle Wang do to anger the father? But for so many years, even if the father did something out of line, the father never blamed him. I haven't listened to him these days. What happened to Uncle Wang?"
"Do you know what Uncle Wang asked for his father when he entered the palace?"
King Xiang shook his head.
"Seventh brother," Li Wang patted him on the shoulder, as if his elder brother was admonishing his ignorant younger brother: "You still have to be more careful about everything in this palace, you are so honest, sixth brother, I can't do everything for me. You worry."
King Xiang smiled awkwardly: "I follow Brother Six, Brother Six is smarter than me, what Brother Six says is what he says."
"I heard that Uncle Wang's request in the palace is for the Shen family."
"Shen family?" King Xiang suddenly realized: "Could it be that Uncle Wang angered the father and the emperor because of the matter of the Shen family?" He thought for a while and said, "But Uncle Wang married the second daughter of the Shen family, and the father... It's not because Is the second room of the Shen family angry?"
No one knew him better than Emperor Wenhui's own son. If Prince Yu angered Emperor Wen Hui, unless what he asked for was out of line, after living in the royal family for so long, the bottom line of the emperor was nothing more than power. Shen Gui, the second housekeeper of the Shen family, was a third-grade civil minister. He had no real power in his hands, but it would not affect the overall situation. Emperor Wen Hui had no reason to be angry with Prince Yu because of this.
“That’s right.” King Li said meaningfully, “But what Uncle Wang asked for was to marry the Shen family’s eldest daughter, Shen Miao.”
"So it is." King Xiang finally thought clearly, "Then Shen Xin holds the military power, Uncle Wang wants to marry the Shen family's direct daughter, he is afraid that he will break the big taboo of his father. But why did Uncle Wang suddenly want to marry Shen Miao? Isn't it Shen Qing who is going to marry? Even if the royal father allows him to mess around, but such a sensitive matter, Uncle Wang won't be so confused."
"I don't know either." Li Wang shook his head: "Although Uncle Wang has done extravagant things over the years, he has kept his duties as a minister. This time, it is outrageous..."
“Royal Father will definitely not let Uncle Wang marry Shen Miao, but this time Royal Father did not explain to Uncle Wang directly and instead avoided seeing it, as if to warn him of something.”
"Probably, let's be patient." Li Wang smiled bitterly: "It's better for you and me not to say this, it has nothing to do with us. The father and emperor don't look very happy these days, so don't put a pestle in front of others."
"Sixth brother said yes." King Xiang nodded.
After the two left, one person slowly walked out from the depths of the garden, the blue boots and jade belt, it was King Ding Fu Xiuyi. He stood in the garden, and it was obvious that he had already heard the conversation between Wang and Li just now. He looked at the back of the two leaving and muttered thoughtfully, "Shen Miao?"
…
On the top floor of Linjiangxian's pavilion, Ji Yushu read the letter in his hand to Gao Yang, then put the letter in the burning charcoal pile and burned it.
"The news has already spread, and Emperor Wen Hui is also suspicious of the old dog. This time, the old dog shot himself in the foot, and he doesn't know it yet." Ji Yushu gloated a little.
Gao Yang shook his head: "Be careful, you can't go wrong now."
"I know." Ji Yushu touched his nose: "What is Third Brother Xie busy with recently, no one can see it."
"He's not busy any day." Gao Yang sighed suddenly, "I don't know if it's right or wrong because of his temperament."
"I believe in third brother Xie." Ji Yushu said, "Brother Xie is so capable, what are you worrying about? He has arranged for so long, even if it doesn't work, it's okay to retreat. Gao Yang, you are The mind is too heavy, look at our third brother Xie, even if there are more things in our hearts, we still live in a smart and unrestrained way, this is the man!"
Ji Yushu was obviously Xie Jing Xing's loyal follower, and between the lines he was paying homage to Xie Jing Xing. Gao Yang rolled his eyes at him: "Little sycophants."
"Whoever is flattering, let's talk about it, if you want to flatter you, you have to see who the other party is. Is it worth it?" He glanced at the other party with disgust, and said, "For example, you kneel down and beg me to shoot and I won't shoot."
Gao Yang smiled warmly: "Really, then if you have anything in the future, don't come to me to get the medicine, kneel down and beg me, and I won't prescribe it for you."
Ji Yushu was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to the conversation: "Actually, I used to think that the young people in the Ding capital were all embroidered pillows. After reading it, only the third brother Xie was a man. But now I admire it. Another person thinks that apart from Third Brother Xie, there are other people in Ding capital who have become heroes."
"Oh, you still have someone you admire, it's really fresh," Gao Yang said lukewarmly, "Who is it that has caught your old discernment."
"Ms. Shen family, Shen Miao!" Ji Yushu slapped his thigh: "Mummy, I have never seen such a courageous woman! Even the royal family dares to calculate, and to Prince Yu's mansion, that is the prince's mansion, let's do it It's just a pot."
“That was before you saw it.” Gao Yang snorted coldly, before Shen Miao set fire to her ancestral hall and even dared to bet her own life, at that time Gao Yang felt that Shen Miao was really a lunatic. These people are used to planning everything and they are sure to kill when they make a move. At first glance, Gao Yang watched it with the intention of watching the excitement and he was sure that Shen Miao would not be able to live long under such rampage. Unexpectedly, he was the one who walked away, and every time she seemed to be reckless with the name, she was the winner in the end.
Gao Yang sometimes finds it very strange. People like them see themselves as delicate porcelain. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will never fight with others without certainty. The other person is not worth fighting for with their own lives. But Shen Miao was at the other extreme, she regarded herself as the hardest piece of stone, and those who opposed her became porcelain, she seemed to have nothing to lose, but the porcelain that opposed her all shattered into pieces.
Not everyone has the courage to regard themselves as a stone and because of this, Gao Yang felt that Shen Miao was even more dangerous. And for an enemy who may grow up, the best way is to kill her before she grows up. It’s just… Gao Yang was a little unsure about what Xie Jing Xing was thinking.
It was impossible for Xie Jing Xing not to see the variables in this girl, if Shen Miao became an obstacle in their plan, it would only ruin the big thing.
"She has such a brave deed before?" Ji Yushu was surprised, and then nodded: "It is normal for the daughter of the mighty general to be brave. Although she has no Wuyi and is not supported by Shen Xin, she has no one. Dare to bully her."
Seeing that Gao Yang was in a trance, Ji Yushu suddenly thought of something and continued: "Speaking of which, although this time the royal affairs were made by me, everything was done according to Shen Miao's plan. Thinking, she was really scary. Prince Yu didn't know what was going on, he seemed to have lost his anger these days, he actually told Emperor Wen Hui that he wanted to marry Shen Miao, knowing that Shen Xin held military power, whoever married Shen Miao would be able to do so. To be a person who has evil intentions in the eyes of the emperor, Prince Yu would actually make such a mistake. And as soon as Emperor Wen Hui doubts, he will doubt it to the end, and then add fire, I am afraid that Prince Yu will die and Emperor Wen Hui will not blink. So, isn't it? It happened to be cheaper for the Chen family to act, Shen Miao’s plans are intertwined and there is no mistake in the calculation.”
"Because she is someone who has no 'accidents'." Gao Yang felt a little emotional, Xie Jing Xing was right, every time Shen Miao's seemingly sinister actions ended up being exactly what she wanted to achieve in the end. There was never an "accident" in her plan.
Gao Yang thought mischievously: If one day he could see Shen Miao panicked and dumbfounded because of an "accident", I don't know how heartening it would be.
“In short, I think this Shen Miao is someone who is worthy of friendship.” Ji Yushu said sternly, “In addition to looking at her appearance, I think that in a few years, she will be a beauty. How can such a smart and beautiful woman be Let me, Ji Yushu, miss it." He showed a smile that he thought was romantic and unrestrained: "I decided to make her as famous as Miss Shaoyao in my heart. From then on, in addition to Miss Shaoyao, she can also be regarded as my confidante. ."
Gao Yang simply didn't turn his head away and didn't look at this fool.
After that, the "pink confidant" in Ji Yushu's mouth was picking and choosing in the house.
"Sister, are you picking so many things to add makeup to Shen Qing's gift?" Shen Qiu scratched his head and asked.
Shen Miao picked out some of the things given by the emperor in the storeroom and did not know what she was looking for, and finally picked out a jade pillow, it felt smooth and cold to the touch, and it gave birth to sparkling jade. The light is really beautiful.
"Does my sister want to pick this one for Shen Qing?"
As the days of Shen Qing's marriage approached, the entire Shen family began to worry about Shen Qing's marriage. Shen Yue had asked Shen Miao what she would give Shen Qing for her makeup a few days ago, which happened to be overheard by Shen Qiu. But seeing that Shen Miao did not move all the time, she thought she finally remembered this matter today.
“This?” Shen Miao picked up the jade pillow and shook her head, “No.”
"Oh." Shen Qiu asked, "Do you want to use it yourself? This jade pillow looks good."
Shen Miao lowered her eyes, this jade pillow was called Ice Silkworm Pillow, she entered the palace in her previous life and was stuffed into her dowry box by Shen Xin as a dowry. Later, she became the queen, and Madam Mei was so blessed that one day she said that she was unwell and had some headaches, so she insisted on her pillow. At that time, the ice silkworm pillow was given to Wanyu, but Wanyu refused to obey and quarreled with Mrs. Mei, breaking the pillow. Fu Xiuyi severely punished Wanyu, and the news of the Huns and their relatives came.
Thinking about it now, it's all an old dream, but it still hurts my heart.
“Sister?” Shen Qiu asked worriedly when he saw that Shen Miao was silent.
“This is what I use as a gift,” Shen Miao said, “As for the makeup of the eldest sister, if eldest brother has time, please help me to pick it out at will. If eldest brother has no time, I will ask Gu Yu to buy it as well.” They were all cold to Shen Qing.
"Oh." Shen Qiu answered indifferently. It was not until Shen Miao walked out of the room that she patted her head: "Silly, I forgot to ask my sister who the pillow was for!"
Outside the house, Jing Zhe also asked, "Who do you want to give the girl's pillow?"
"a friend."
Since the Chen family will be used in the future, it is impossible not to express. Kindness and Xiaohui can help you get loyal allies. The art of manipulating people was something she learned little by little from Fu Xiuyi.
Peace of mind is undoubtedly a good thing for the distracted sister of the Chen family.
