Shen Cha didn't know how long he slept. In the past few days, because Yerunan was in the city, he spent a lot of energy and energy to deal with him. In addition, he stayed up all night, and his physical discomfort was particularly strong. After a peaceful sleep, although this bad feeling still lingered a little, it also dissipated a lot.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the sleeping Shen Haolin. She gently raised the corners of her lips and rubbed him carefully.
"woke up?"
In fact, Shen Haolin didn't lie down for long. He chatted with Jin Jing for a long time, and the chat was particularly in-depth, just to find a way to help Xue Ruitian get out of the current predicament. But the two of them discussed and discussed, but they didn't come up with a good idea. In the end, both of them were so sleepy that Jin Jing stood up to say goodbye, and Shen Haolin returned to the inner room to catch up on his sleep.
Shen Haolin had slept for less than two hours when Shen Cha came over. He opened his eyes and smiled at Shen Cha, then stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms.
"Brother looks like this, doesn't he seem to have slept well?" Shen Cha found a comfortable position in Shen Haolin's arms, closed his eyes, and sighed softly,
"That's it for today, why don't we sleep a little longer!"
"Okay!" Shen Haolin lowered his head and kissed Shen Cha on the forehead, "I will listen to you."
The two people cuddled together, and after a while, they both fell asleep again.
When Shen Cha woke up again, the lamps had been lit in the room, and the charcoal basin seemed to have been replaced. She looked up at Shen Haolin and found that her brother was staring at the top of the bed, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking. However, judging from his face, he looked much better than before, and he must have completely recovered.
Feeling the movement of the person in his arms, Shen Haolin lowered his head and glanced, and happened to meet Shen Cha's eyes.
"Brother, good evening." Shen Cha raised his upper body slightly and kissed Shen Haolin on the cheek, "When is it?"
"It's time to turn on the lamp." Shen Haolin pulled up the quilt that had slipped down. "I have already informed everyone that they can all rest in their own rooms. There is no need to go to the Nuan Pavilion. Everyone has been tense these days, okay? It's easy to send Yerunan away, so you can relax a little."
"Gulu~Gulu~Gulu!"
Hearing this voice, Shen Cha scratched his head in embarrassment and buried his head in Shen Haolin's arms.
"Are you hungry? Jin Miaomiao has sent someone over to say that dinner is ready. It depends on when you wake up." Shen Haolin rubbed Shen Cha's hair, "Are you getting up?"
"It's extremely cold tonight!" Shen Cha stretched out his hand outside the quilt to feel it, "It feels like... the winter of five years ago has reappeared."
"Well, it's indeed cold. There was a water leak just now, but it wasn't big. It was discovered in time and put out quickly." Shen Haolin sighed, "I have sent people to inform the patrol teams. Let them cheer up, conduct careful inspections, and extinguish all signs."
"Well done, brother!" Shen Cha shook his neck and sat up reluctantly, "By the way, are Xiaojiu and the others back?"
"They had already returned before I went to sleep." Shen Haolin also sat down together. Fearing that the Chen tea would freeze, he quickly put the discarded cotton robe on her body. "We got the gold and gunpowder back. They came over and asked me what to do with it, and I asked them to transport the gold to the basement. The gunpowder... was sent directly to the weapons camp, which they were short of!"
The two of them briefly freshened up. Shen Cha walked to the door, called Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, and ordered them to bring back dinner and a pot of hot tea.
"And!" Shen Cha stopped Merlin who was about to leave, "Stop by the military camp to have a look. If Xiaojiu and the two princes have finished their meal at night and have no patrol duties, let them come to Tiger Hill."
"General, I'm afraid only Vice-General Shen and Vice-General Xia can come here. Vice-General Song..." Mei Lin spread his hands, "They have been taken away by the Marquis and the Commander a long time ago. I heard they meant... that they wanted Vice-General Song to help make plans. What."
"Coming up with suggestions?" Shen Cha blinked, "What are they going to do?"
"Well, the commander-in-chief said that he wanted to talk to Her Highness the Princess, but he didn't know how to open his mouth, so he asked Xiaotian and Qiyun. After all, they know Her Highness the Princess better."
"Oh!" Shen Cha drawled a long voice and winked at Shen Haolin, "It seems that we can look forward to a very big happy event in the near future!"
Dinner was delivered quickly, and Mei Lin told Shen Cha that Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu were eating and would come over soon after they finished their meal.
"Okay!" Shen Cha nodded and handed his share of custard to Mei Zhu, "You guys should hurry up and eat too!"
"Yes, thank you General!"
After Mei Lin and Mei Zhu went out, Shen Haolin took a sip of soup and told Shen Cha about his and Jin Jing's worries.
"Hmm...hey!" After listening to Shen Haolin's words, Shen Cha's extended spoon stayed in the air for a long time. After a while, he sighed softly, reached into the bowl, scooped out a small piece of tofu, and put the tofu in Put it into a plate and pour some sauce on it. "As a relative with outstanding military exploits, great influence in the court, and great prestige in the military, Brother Xiaotian's future is indeed very worrying. The lonely person you mentioned is not impossible, no matter what He said that Song Jue will also get married in the future, and his queen, favored concubines, and their mother clan will become new foreign relatives. And these new foreign relatives will fight against the old foreign relatives... Tsk Tsk tsk, just thinking about it gives me a headache! Therefore, from Song Jue’s point of view, one party must be sacrificed. If the bloodline of the Wuding Hou Mansion is to be preserved, Song Jue’s harem... be it the queen or the concubines. , their background will not be too high, at least not higher than Wudinghoufu, and they cannot trample Wudinghoufu under their feet. But..."
"This is not absolute. If the queen has a legitimate son, or a favored concubine gives birth to a prince, and the mother is more valuable than the son, the relatives will still be able to shake things up. Throughout the ages, such examples are not uncommon." Shen Haolin sneered, " In this way, Song Jue will still have a headache, so the one who has to be sacrificed is our Xiaotian. Thinking about it... Xiaotian's life is really too hard."
"There is nothing that can be done about it. It is not uncommon in the past for foreign relatives to have exclusive power and harm the country. In order to stabilize the foundation of Daxia, it is not incomprehensible if Song Jue really makes such a decision. Without the Wuding Marquis Mansion, he can Focus on taking care of the other relatives. But..." Shen Cha also sighed, "As a brother, this decision is really cruel."
"So, Xiaojing and I have been wondering if there is a way to help him get out of this predicament, but..." Shen Haolin picked up a piece of ribs and shook his head gently, "We don't have any good ideas."
"It's not impossible. The root of this matter still needs to be found from Aunt Xue's case. The reason why Song Jue has this plan is entirely because of the... so-called stigma that the Wuding Marquis Mansion currently bears."
"But……"
"Brother, this step must be taken." Shen Cha shrugged, "I know it is difficult, but there is no way around it. Although we all know that Aunt Xue has been wronged, she has always disliked us, especially For those who dislike Wudinghou Mansion, this has become their best weapon to attack Wudinghou Mansion, and even our Jiaping Pass City. Not only that, if the stigma is not washed away, no matter how many military exploits Brother Xiaotian has made, in some people In their eyes, it is nothing more than atonement. They will never think that their peaceful life, their singing and dancing, are all obtained by us people fighting bloody battles at the border, and they will take it for granted."
"You are right, but this cannot be a result in a short time. Otherwise, how could it be possible that after so many years, we have not made any progress on this case."
"Who said there is no more?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows proudly, "During this period, I have a new idea, and I am collecting relevant evidence to confirm this idea. If we are lucky, we can find this case. It’s the man behind it.”
"Behind the scenes... the driving force? You're talking about..." Shen Haolin frowned, "Isn't he the person I thought?"
"Well, it's him." Shen Cha nodded, "This should not be part of his plan, it is an unexpected gain for him. However, he should feel guilty towards Brother Xiaotian, so no matter how much Brother Xiaotian ridicules He, whether the ridicule was intentional or unintentional, he happily accepted it."
"Listening to what you said...it seems like this is really the case."
"So, wait until I figure out the relationship inside, maybe I can find out the truth back then." Shen Cha raised his tea cup, "Anyway, this is good news, worth drinking it. !”
