Shen Luoxi asked coldly, "What's going on?"
When the young man heard this, he trembled and hurriedly replied: "The eldest young master has been locked in the room by the master for several days. I invited the princess to come because I want the princess to save the eldest young master!"
Shen Luoxi frowned, "Be more careful."
"The younger one doesn't know much. I only know that after the princess left, the eldest young master and the master had a dispute. At first, they just had a few words, but that night, the master asked someone to lock the door of the eldest master's room."
Shen Luoxi pondered for a moment, did her father and eldest brother quarrel because of her?
She turned to look at the boy, "How are the guards in Brother's courtyard?"
"There are four people in total. Two are guarding the door of the yard and two are guarding the door of the room. Apart from the master, the wife and the second young master, the younger one can only go in when delivering food."
Shen Luoxi nodded, indicating that he understood.
The guards were not very tight, so it was not difficult to get in quietly. What was difficult was how to persuade Prime Minister Shen to let Shen Liubai go.
"Do you know where to go quickly without being discovered easily?" Shen Luoxi asked.
The servant nodded, "There is a shortcut in the mansion that no one takes, but the guards can't let the princess in. What does the princess plan to do?"
Shen Luoxi raised the corners of her lips, "I have my own way."
Soon, the boy took Shen Luo Xi outside Shen Liubai's yard.
From a distance, you can see two tall guards standing outside the courtyard. Anyone passing in front of them will be stared at.
The boy sighed softly, "How do you get in here..."
He turned his head, but there was no figure of Shen Luoxi behind him. He was stunned, his eyebrows and eyes full of confusion.
Where is the princess?
When he looked at the guard, Shen Luoxi tapped his toes and used Qing Kung Fu to climb into Shen Liubai's yard.
The guards guarding Shen Liubai were just a few guards who knew a little about martial arts, so it was not difficult to avoid them.
Shen Luoxi jumped off the roof, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the window.
"Brother, it's me."
Shen Liubai sat sleepily on the bed. Hearing the sound of Shen Luoxi, he hurriedly got out of bed but accidentally kicked a stool. The guard at the door immediately asked: "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Liubai frowned, "It has nothing to do with you."
"I just want to remind the eldest young master, don't think about escaping anymore. The master said that if the eldest young master still doesn't listen to the advice, he will go to the ancestral hall to take action against the family."
Shen Liubai clenched his fists, unable to do anything but get angry.
"I just want to have a cup of tea, you don't need to be so nervous."
After that, he ignored the guard and strode to the window.
Shen Liubai lowered his voice, "Luoxi, how did you get in?"
"Your servant went to the palace to beg me to save you, so he sneaked in with me. The servants all knew to ask me for help, why didn't the elder brother know to do this?" Shen Luoxi said helplessly.
She heard clearly the conversation between Shen Liubai and the guard just now. Shen Xiang actually threatened Shen Liubai to use family law in the ancestral hall. It can be seen that this time he was very angry.
Shen Liubai remained silent for a long time and then said: "Luoxi, you shouldn't have come. My eldest brother just had some dispute with my father. When my father calms down, he will naturally let me out."
"Go back quickly, don't let anyone find out you have been here."
Shen Luoxi frowned slightly, "Brother, do you want to continue to hide it? If you don't bow your head, how will father calm down?"
"Brother, you should tell me the truth. I know the whole story and I will help you think of a solution."
The room fell into silence again, and Shen Luoxi said calmly, "If brother doesn't want to tell me, I will go and ask my father directly."
"No! You can't go see your father!"
Shen Liubai hurriedly suppressed his voice to stop him, but there was a window between him and Shen Luoxi. If Shen Luoxi really wanted to leave, he couldn't stop him.
"Have you decided to tell me now?" Shen Luoxi said calmly.
Shen Liubai struggled for a while and finally compromised.
Rather than letting Shen Luoxi ask Prime Minister Shen, it would be better for him to say it himself, which might lessen the harm to the peace.
He exhaled and his tone became serious, "I'm telling you, my father and I... had a dispute because of you."
"I know, what's the reason?" Shen Luoxi asked.
Shen Liubai said eloquently, "That day when the emperor summoned you to the palace, I was really worried, so I went to tell my father about it and wanted him to protect you."
"Given my father's status, the emperor will still be a bit lenient and will not drag you into a court dispute. However, my father tried to avoid it in every possible way, so I argued with him for a few times, which is why we ended up like this."
Shen Luoxi did not answer, but lowered his eyes and began to think.
As soon as she heard this, she knew that Shen Liubai could hide a lot. Shen Xiang was such a cautious person. When the original person wanted to marry Cang Yunxuan, as long as Shen Xiang told him, the emperor might not be able to agree.
But as soon as the original person opened his mouth, Shen Xiang refused without thinking. He and Mrs. Shen even tried to persuade the original person for several days, but the original person only had Cang Yunxuan in his heart and eyes, so he set up Cang Yunxuan at the palace banquet.
She was originally the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's palace. On the day of her wedding, she didn't have ten miles of red makeup, a phoenix crown, and a harem. She only had a small wedding team and a red sedan chair. She was sent to Prince Xuan's palace and was kept cold by Cang Yunxuan for three months.
Therefore, the main reason why Shen Liubai and Shen Xiang quarreled must be that Shen Xiang did not want to get into trouble.
Shen Luoxi tapped her fingertips and her expression darkened.
She calculated that within three months, the court would undergo major changes.
It seems that Prime Minister Shen has seen something. If everyone wants to protect themselves wisely, if they really listen to Shen Liubai's words, the emperor may not be suspicious.
"Brother, maybe my father did nothing wrong in this matter." Shen Luoxi said seriously: "I can handle the emperor's side. My father has experienced two dynasties and has his own considerations."
"Although I don't understand what happens in the court, I also understand the word 'avoid suspicion'."
Shen Liubai was stunned, he didn't expect Shen Luoxi to say this.
"We are a family. If something happens to you, how can we avoid suspicion?" He said hurriedly: "Luoxi, don't do anything stupid!"
Shen Luoxi chuckled, "I was originally here to rescue my eldest brother, but now it seems there is no need."
"Brother, have a good rest. I'll go talk to my father."
Shen Liubai called out a few times in a hurry, but there was no response outside the window. He immediately ran to the door and patted it hard, "I want to see my father! Take me there now!"
The guards outside the door looked at each other and were not surprised when they heard this, "The master said that if the eldest young master does not bow his head, he will disappear."
"you!"
Shen Liubai was still arguing with the guards, but Shen Luoxi had already walked to Shen Xiang's study. She watched Shen Xiang practicing calligraphy, and did not speak until Shen Xiang made the last stroke.
"Father, I want to talk to you about the emperor and the court."
When Shen Luoxi's voice sounded, Prime Minister Shen was stunned for a moment, but when he heard the words behind him, he immediately came back to his senses and looked at Shen Luoxi with dark eyes.
