Go to the capital, Shen Mansion.
Shen Yue was sitting in Wenxuan Pavilion playing the piano, her voice was plaintive and harsh, and the servants around her covered their ears and tried to stop her.
"Miss, it's time for lunch!"
The personal maid gritted her teeth and came in with a food box, but she was interrogated by two guards in black before entering. If there were any gangsters here, a closer look would tell that these two people must be masters who cannot be messed with.
They were the legendary dragon guards of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Shen Yue put down the piano and snorted coldly: "Put it down! I want to take a bath, take a bath before eating."
"What are you doing standing still? Close the door and get out!" Shen Yue yelled at the two guards.
The two looked at each other and said hello.
"Let the brothers retreat outside the courtyard. No one is allowed in or out."
"promise!"
After the guards left, the quirky little girl tapped the bottom of the food box with her chopsticks.
Shen Yue's eyes lit up.
"How is it? Where are you?"
Xiao Cui trotted forward and whispered: "Go back to Miss, I will sail to fifty miles outside Jialing Pass and prepare to take the dry road instead!"
Shen Yue: "You didn't fight with Brother Han, did you?"
Xiaocui: "That's not true!"
Shen Yue breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good! Where is my dad?"
Xiao Cui shook her head: "There is no news about the master, but I heard that the master was detained by my uncle for more than half a month."
Shen Yue snorted: "You deserve it, who told him to lie to me? Come on, I'm starving to death. What's good to eat today?"
Xiaocui announced the names of the dishes in a treasure-selling style: "Eight Immortals Drunken Duck, Litian Roast Chicken, and the lady's favorite, stir-fried shredded turnips, and, by the way, Yuelai Ice Room's winter sugar water."
Shen Yue opened the food box eagerly, took a sip of the sugar water, and narrowed her eyes into a crescent shape, which was very cute.
Yuelai Ice Room was the first business Qin Yun opened in the capital. It was later plotted by the second prince Qin Hao, but he lost to Qin Yun in a bet when he was in Luochuan.
After going back and forth, it finally fell into the hands of the Shen family.
When Shen Yue was in Qiongzhou, she ate a refreshing drink made of coconut water and goat milk.
Later, under her leadership, Yuelai Ice Room was opened to various states and counties in Daxia using the cane sugar produced in Qiongzhou as a supply.
Originally, when Shen Yue returned to Beijing, she planned to use the strength of Shen Wan's family to make the ice room and sugar shop bigger and stronger.
Who knew that the old man lied to her.
Even though the business is small, he still makes a lot of money on weekdays.
Even no less than soap. After all, honey is expensive in this era. Ordinary people only need maltose if they want to eat sugar, but that is also an extremely expensive thing.
During the days when she was under house arrest, the sugar water in Yuelai Bingshu became her only comfort.
Of course, Yuelai Ice Room is open all over Daxia and has another important role, which is to serve as a transfer station for Qiongzhou's intelligence system.
After eating and drinking, Shen Yue started mumbling again.
"Damn Qin Yun, damn Qin Yun, leave this girl here for several months, maybe she can live happily with those little goblins!"
Xiaocui pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss, my uncle is definitely not that kind of person."
"You know what the heck, you don't have a man, hurry up and get some pen and ink."
"promise!"
However, when Xiao Cui turned around to pick up the pen and ink, the door suddenly opened with a bang, Shen Yue turned over and hid behind the screen, and Xiao Cui opened her eyes wide and rushed forward angrily.
"You... are so brave. My lady is getting ready to take a bath. Get out!"
"Miss Shen, I'm going to find Prince Liang in the name of His Majesty. It's better for me to meet you." A voice with a male duck's voice came.
Shen Yue frowned: "Why is this old eunuch looking for me? No! He said he was going to look for Qin Yun, let's see what he says!"
"Xiao Cui, since Eunuch Liu is here, let's take a bath later."
"Eunuch Liu, please come in."
Liu Jin cupped his hand and said, "Old slave, you are presumptuous!"
Shen Yue walked out from behind the screen and glanced at Liu Jin coldly.
"Tell me, why are you looking for this girl?"
Liu Jin said: "His Majesty the Ninth Prince came to the capital with the power to shake the sky, and also brought one hundred thousand soldiers. Your Majesty was worried that it would disturb the people who came to the capital, so he asked the old slave to persuade him to return."
"I know that I don't have such a big reputation, so I came here to ask Miss Shen to write a letter to advise the prince. Your Majesty promised that if the prince retreats, he will let the prince stay in Qiongzhou and Ryukyu forever, and he will be hereditary!"
"His Majesty also said that Miss Shen can go back with His Highness Ninth Prince. However, from now on, she will have to change her identity."
"Why?" Shen Yue snorted coldly.
Liu Jin sighed: "Because His Majesty has already betrothed you to His Highness Qin Zheng, and it is hard to change your words. Please put the overall situation first, Miss Shen!"
Shen Yue's heart trembled. How could she be so smart and not know what this meant? .
Qin Yun mobilized his troops to come and left in despair. Didn't this make the world think that he was afraid of Qin Zheng? Besides, how could she, Shen Yue, keep her name anonymous?
Why should he treat Qin Yun and her like this?
"Eunuch Liu, it's up to my prince whether he likes it or not, but I can tell Eunuch Liu clearly that if you want me to live incognito, don't even think about it!"
"Although I, Shen Yue, am a female generation, I have been nurtured by my father since childhood to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. The poets of the Northern Qi Dynasty came to fight, and all the literary circles in the capital were defeated. I, Shen Yue, do not hesitate to use myself to poison, but also want to maintain the dignity of my country. "
"The Shixian was so aggressive that no one responded. It was the prince who saved me with his astonishing talent."
"Yes, I did hate him at that time, and I even wanted to kill him, but that was for other reasons, and it doesn't mean that I don't admire him!"
"I, Shen Yue, am a female. I don't understand state affairs, nor the overall situation. I want to know, where was Qin Zheng when the Northern Qi envoy was aggressive?"
"When Luochuan rebelled against the king and his army came to the city, where was he, Qin Zheng?"
"When the Iron Wolf King marched to Longyou with the majestic horses of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions, where was he, Qin Zheng?"
"When I, Shen Yue, want to marry, I will only marry an upright hero. He may not be a prince or a rich prince, but he must not be an ambitious person who picks other people's peaches halfway."
"Go back and tell your Majesty that I, Shen Yue, will not leave or get married. I will stay here in Wenxuan Pavilion, waiting for my husband to pick me up!"
"Eunuch Liu, please!"
Shen Yue's impassioned words left Liu Jin speechless.
He cupped his hands and said, "Farewell!"
Liu Jin bowed and left, and Shen Yue was so angry that she sat back on the wooden couch. She took out the first gun Qin Yun had given her as a gift from the pillow.
The gun had been hidden under the pillow, but there was only one bullet left.
Shen Yue stroked the pistol and smiled: "Qin Yun, if you want to live in seclusion in the fields, I will accompany you. If you want to seize the world, I will never become a burden to you!"
"You said fireworks are fleeting, but I want to see them again!"
…
Fifty miles outside Jialing Pass, the waterway is cut off, which is the last barrier to the capital.
Qin Yun ordered the ship to be parked in the water, and ordered that if there was any abnormality, it could fire without permission.
After all, the Qiongzhou cannot afford to make any mistakes.
The soldiers of the Zhulong Camp disembarked and dispersed, the big ones secluded themselves in the world, the small ones hid in the mountains and forests, Qin Yun took the two girls on the official road in a steam carriage.
Passers-by looked strangely at the guy who was boiling water. Chen Jin and Wang Menghu were guarding the left and right, and Yang Yong was responsible for adding firewood.
Bai Feiyang, Zhao Xiaoxiao and his wife followed behind on horseback alone.
But no matter how passers-by pointed, Qin Yun had no intention of stopping. He just wanted to head to the capital with great fanfare.
Of course, he also wanted to see if anyone bold enough to attack him.
This time he wants to see clearly who is the enemy and who can be temporarily won over.
At noon, a pair of fast horses galloped in front of the official road.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Liu Jin turned over and dismounted, and Qin Yun also got out of the carriage with the two girls smiling.
Qin Yun stood with his hands behind his back, a slight smile on his lips.
"Eunuch Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your face looks rosy!"
Liu Jin didn't dare to trust him. This was no ordinary prince. His reputation and decisiveness in killing made everyone in the world feel scared!
Liu Jin bowed forward and said: "His Majesty's secret decree!"
Qin Yun waved his hand, and Han Jiangxue and Li Daiyu retreated.
Liu Jin was stunned when he saw Qin Yun still standing. Before, he had symbolically knelt towards the capital in Luochuan, but now he stood proudly.
Liu Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My lord, your majesty means that Miss Shen Yue can go back with you. If you want justice, your majesty will give it to you."
"Daxia is not stable now. Your Majesty hopes that the prince will put the overall situation first. This is the founding document of the Liang Kingdom. From now on, the prince will be the leader of the country."
Qin Yun smiled and did not take the document, but looked at Liu Jin seriously.
"What if I don't answer?"
Liu Jin's heart sank, and he emphasized his tone: "Your Majesty, this is an imperial edict!"
Qin Yun spread his hands: "I didn't see it, how can I answer it?"
Liu Jin cried and laughed in his heart, Qin Yun wouldn't just kill him and bury him under a wild tree, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Jin subconsciously took a step back, almost pleading on his face: "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. Your Majesty, please turn around now. Hello, me, everyone. Miss Shen Yue will be here tomorrow. On the prince’s ship.”
Qin Yun shook his head and looked towards the capital.
"Anyway, since my father is holding a wedding for my brother who appears out of nowhere, and I'm here, why don't I have a wedding banquet?"
"My father-in-law, please come back. If there is any problem, I will personally meet with my father to clarify it."
Liu Jin paused: "Your Highness, do you really want to embarrass Your Majesty?"
Qin Yun's eyes were displeased: "You old castrate, can't you understand human language? This king, Rujing, came to attend the wedding ceremony. Why, did you believe that rumor?"
Qin Yun said with a half-smile, "Do you really think this king has an army of one hundred thousand?"
Liu Jin turned his head and looked behind Qin Yun, but his heart was full of doubts. At first glance, it didn't look like a rebellion, but rather like someone going on an outing.
Liu Jin murmured in his heart, could it be that the people below lied about the military situation?
Liu Jin's face darkened. A group of daring dogs should actually be able to deceive them.
Liu Jin turned his head and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding here. I will clarify it to Your Majesty when I return to Beijing!"
Qin Yun waved his hand: "Go, go!"
After Liu Jin left, Qin Yun squinted and looked in the direction of the capital.
"Is this cheap guy trying to test my reality?"
"Yang Yong!"
"The humble position is here."
"Maybe you haven't been home for a long time. Why don't you go see your old father and your princess wife?"
Yang Yong's heart skipped a beat. When did the prince know about this?
"Your Majesty, I don't mean to deceive the prince by taking this humble position. My humble position is just..."
Qin Yun patted Yang Yong on the shoulder.
"Of course I believe you. Do you still remember what Lan Tian did?"
Yang Yong's eyes narrowed.
"Remember your humble position!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Well, let's do the same thing as before. Go back and tell your father that I will send you back as an undercover agent!"
Yang Yong stood at attention and performed the Qiongzhou military salute without any hesitation.
"yes!"
