That night, I asked my aunt to bring my little brother Shen back to visit relatives at her parents' house. My aunt slept in a daze, and was surrounded by the nurses and came to the gate of the courtyard before she suddenly woke up, and she turned around and asked me, "My mother's house? What kind of home are you going back to in the dark? Miao'er, what are you tossing about?"
I was anxious and confused, and had no clue. I didn't know how to explain it to my aunt at the moment. I only knew that it was the right thing to take the family out in batches when people were unprepared.
"I can't tell you right now, I'll explain it to you when you come back." I responded to her perfunctorily, and while holding Shen Zan's hand, I gave the nursing home a wink. The little aunt who didn't know why went out.
The old butler got my order, got up and touched the key to unlock the copper lock, then pulled the latch of the back door, the tight mahogany door squeaked open with a squeak, and a heavy, hoarse wooden sound echoed in the lonely night. , inexplicably caught people's mouths.
Outside the door, it was red and dazzling. I instinctively raised the back of my hand to cover my eyes. In the gap between my fingers, there was a long line of fully-armed soldiers, each with a burning torch in his hand, without saying a word. Without saying a word, he quietly moved the Shen family away from the perimeter of the gable, and the leader was Pei Yanzhen's accomplished all-around attendant, Zhan Yue.
I slowly put down my hand and walked to the threshold from the unidentified people, "Who is Zhan Caitou here to take?"
Zhan Yue clenched his fists and kept his words as concise as ever, "No one will take it, the Sixth Prince will succeed, and he specially ordered his subordinates to guard Miss Shen's family."
"The Sixth Prince?" If I remember correctly, the brothers of His Majesty the Emperor are all in poor condition. Some of them fell ill in their infancy, and some fell from a tree when they were children. Those who went there, and those who went with their mothers to practice in the Western Paradise before they were born, there were zeros and zeros, and in the end, only the only seedling of the current sage survived. Six kings? But where did it come out
"Yes, Sixth Prince." Zhan Yue's expression didn't change, he paused for a moment, and said with no expression: "My son Pei."
The surroundings were silent, only the torches were burning occasionally or there was a faint "beep" or two, and the roaring torch flames reflected half of the night sky, but the bottom of my heart was like a stream in early spring, mixed with pieces of broken ice. , the flow is extremely slow, almost stagnant.
Pei Yanzhen... Sure enough, he is of royal blood!
Suddenly, the little aunt next to him gasped, "You mean that Mr. Pei is the sixth prince?! He... he did something?! My god! What happened... that's not... it's not... "
Zhan Yue glanced at Auntie Shen, then looked at Shen Zai, who was hugged by the nursing home, and turned to me with a frown, "It's quiet in the middle of the night, I don't know where Miss Shen is going with Young Master Shen?"
"My aunt's mother's family has something to do. I want to take Xiaozai back. Please let Zhan's head go." I looked at the heavily armored soldiers behind Zhanyue's wooden sculptures and clay sculptures.
"My subordinate has been instructed by the sixth prince. Now that the government and the opposition are changing, Miss Shen is the dearest person of the prince. During this extraordinary period, there are remnants of rebels running around everywhere, and they are unwilling to struggle to the death. They may be unfavorable to the people of the Shen family. Shen Zhai, during this period, it's better not to go out." The rhetoric is high-sounding, but I heard Zhan Yue speak politely, but his posture is like an iron tower. Grip the hilt.
"In that case, I would like to thank the sixth prince. But, what if I have to go out this door today?" I reached out and touched the door frame, then lifted my foot to step out of the threshold.
A cold light flashed from the corner of his eyes, but he saw a cockroach with shiny back wings pinned to the center of the threshold by a cold sword. Feet no more than an inch. Looking at Zhan Yue's waist, only the scabbard was left, and the long sword was no longer in his hand. It was obvious that the murder weapon on the threshold was thrown by him in the blink of an eye. After that, the soldiers all took hold of the hilt of their swords.
The nursing home behind me took two steps forward and hid me behind.
"Miss Shen, don't go your own way. The six princes are all for the good of the Shen family." Zhan Yue took two steps forward, easily retracted the long sword, sheathed the sword, and the iron rubbing sounded sharply in an instant.
Is this killing chickens to warn monkeys? My heart fell straight into the Avici Hell, either copying or killing it, copying it or killing it, copying it or killing it, copying it or killing it... The four-character mantra was generally roaming back and forth in my mind, and the sound of it would never end.
I smiled, "Hundred steps through Yang, show off your skills as a guard! I just don't know how long this 'extraordinary period' is?"
"It won't be long, just wait until the day when the prince returns in person to marry Miss Shen and go to the capital." Zhan Yue said lightly.
"Oh? Did the lord say when?" I asked him, looking at the boundless sky and darkening.
"My lord said, I will be back soon."
A good "coming soon"!
"Since the prince is so painstaking, it is not convenient for me to disobey. It's just that I don't leave the house, can I invite guests into the house?"
"Who does Miss Shen want to invite?"
"Tianyi Pavilion Song Xiyuan Song San Gongzi."
Zhan Yueben lowered his eyebrows, but at this moment he raised his head cautiously, "Young Master Song is not in Yangzhou City. I'm afraid I won't be able to visit Shen Mansion as a guest."
"That's it, forget it." I turned around and waved, "Old Yang, close the door. Let's all go back and rest."
Song Xiyuan, a businessman, is not in Yangzhou City... How can Zhanyue, a caring guard of the palace prince, be so clear? The truth couldn't be clearer... Pei Yanzhen, Song Xiyuan, can you both step on the bridge across the river safely
I always thought that the emperor's fear of Pei Yanzhen was only because of the traitorous officials of the Pei family, and I was afraid that Pei Yanzhen would become a traitor and a traitor. Test him. And this person in ambush on both sides, I'm afraid it is Song Xiyuan...
Ming steals his wife and children, secretly conspiring to rebel; the name is protection, which is actually house arrest; Ming marries the princess and secretly executes the Shen family. This play is really good! If you think about it, it's not right. I'm the only shadow puppet that actually jumps on the stage, and maybe there is an emperor who has been tricked. The two of them are just the hands behind the screen. From beginning to end, never played.
Angelica day? Pei Yanzhen painted one cake after another and hung it in the distance. It was I who was foolish enough to see the cake as a moon. Thinking back at this time, I, Shen Miao, have no talent and no virtue, and the only thing I have is that the eldest lady of the Shen family who carved the golden and jade sculptures as a signboard. Back then, Song Xiyuan married me inexplicably, and I was afraid that it was Pei Yanzhen's order, lest the money of the Shen family would fall by the wayside.
For some reason, there was a different kind of lightness in my heart, I just wanted to laugh, but I couldn't bend the corners of my mouth anymore.
Now that forcing the palace has been completed, it is only to see that the sixth prince will soon add a yellow robe and order the Shen family to come and catch the turtle in the urn.
