"The prince really said that?"
Song Ying asked in a panic.
The maid hummed, "These are the prince's original words, word for word."
Seeing Song Ying stunned, Yang Cong waved to the maid and said, "You go down first."
"yes."
After they left, Yang Cong said to Song Ying: "In fact, we have expected such a result. Why should my cousin be worried?"
Song Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "He was clearly telling us that he knew we were behind the plan."
"I also said that he has no evidence. What will happen if he knows?"
Yang Cong said disdainfully: "He doesn't dare to publicize it to the outside world. If the reputation of Uncle Sinan's house is damaged, it will be a dead end."
"As your uncle's wife, I shouldn't do anything to protect your uncle's reputation."
"If it wasn't for the sake of the reputation of the uncle's house, why would I act so secretly?" Yang Cong snorted: "If not, what if I do it directly?
No matter how much Uncle Si Nan loves and values Shen Qingyun, what if Shen Qingyun dies, even if he knows that it was us who did it? "
Song Ying said: "Last time he was seriously ill, my uncle came back to see him and left Zhong Qi to protect him. I'm afraid he was afraid that something like this would happen. Even my uncle suspected that his illness had something to do with me. If we really Did this..."
Yang Cong said in a deep voice: "Then the only bloodline of the Shen family is the one in your belly. My uncle still needs him to inherit the Shen family. Even if he doesn't want to, he will cover it up for us. It's a done deal, and he has nothing to spare." s Choice."
When Song Ying heard this, she was shocked and said: "In this case, how can I, Uncle Yu, have any face? How do outsiders view the Song family?"
Yang Cong smiled slightly, "Cousin, don't worry, the current situation is not such an extreme one."
Song Ying's expression softened a little, and Yang Cong continued: "It's best to keep Shen Qingyun quiet. There are some methods that I have a sense of proportion in my heart, but this incident also reminds us."
"Cousin means...?"
Yang Cong looked solemn, "Shen Qingyun is definitely not the incompetent dude you said in your letter. On the contrary, he is an absolutely smart person. I should have known this from the first time I met him. Otherwise, such words would not come from him." out of his mouth."
Song Ying also fell silent after hearing this.
In fact, Song Ying didn't have much contact with Shen Qingyun. Although they had been together for a year in total, neither the original person nor the current Shen Qingyun stayed in the mansion, and Song Ying didn't know Shen Qingyun well enough.
Her impression of Shen Qingyun was based on what others said.
"If you think about it carefully, he actually avoided me on purpose?" Song Ying frowned slightly, "Although it had nothing to do with me when he got sick last time, after he recovered, he spent less time in the house. After I became pregnant, He even stayed away from home all day long."
"That's why I said he is a smart man." Yang Cong said: "Shen Qingyun is a difficult opponent. Our next action must be more careful."
"My cousin is right."
At this point, the robber's matter was settled.
But everyone already knows that Shen Qingyun will be more cautious, and Yang Cong and Song Ying's next conspiracy will be more elaborate and vicious.
Both sides are waiting for the next confrontation.
On the other side, after Song Ying's maid left, Shen Qingyun began to study Su Chengwang's signature.
"Miss Qiao'er, you are well-informed, have you ever heard of the name Mr. Wangshan?"
Shen Qingyun thought that Qiaoer might have heard of this name because he had seen so many dignitaries and celebrities at the Yingchun Tower to greet him, so Shen Qingyun invited Qiaoer out immediately.
Qiaoer carefully looked at the traces of the seal, frowned and thought for a while, but could only shake his head.
"The literary style of Da Chu is in decline, far inferior to that of Yan and Wei. There are not many people who can be called celebrities, but the name of Wangshan is unheard of."
"You don't even know?" Shen Qingyun was a little disappointed.
Qiaoer smiled slightly and said: "Liangzhou City is located in a remote place, and Qiaoer's knowledge is really shallow. It's not a surprise that he has never heard of it."
"That's true." Shen Qingyun snorted lightly and said helplessly: "No wonder the old man stamped and paid so easily. It turns out that he was sure that I couldn't find out."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be impatient." Qiao'er consoled him: "The old gentleman's handwriting is elegant and lively, and he has the style of a great master. He is definitely not an ordinary person. Perhaps, the old gentleman is not a local, so he has never become famous, and the imperial capital is where great Chu heroes gather. If the prince really wants to explore the old gentleman’s identity, he only needs to send someone to the imperial capital to inquire, and he will definitely gain something.”
"It makes sense." Shen Qingyun agreed, but shook his head slightly and said: "But the imperial capital is thousands of miles away from Liangzhou City, so there is really no need to make a special trip for this kind of thing."
Since the old man wants to play with him, Shen Qingyun will continue to play with him.
Shen Qingyun is indeed curious, but he is not so anxious.
Hearing this, Qiaoer smiled and said, "Then it all depends on the prince's wishes."
Shen Qingyun looked at Su Chengwang's words carefully, and became more and more satisfied with them.
"Originally, I planned to sell it for money, but someone just sent me money. This painting can stay with me for a long time."
Qiaoer was stunned when he heard this: "The prince really plans to sell it?"
"I did think so before, but I can't do it now." Shen Qingyun smiled and said to Zhong Qi: "Lao Qi, ask Lao Zhang to go to the city and invite me the best framer."
"yes."
Shen Qingyun put the words away and asked Qiaoer: "Is the girl's health much better?"
"Your Majesty, are you so impatient that you want to leave immediately?"
Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "Yes, leaving you in Zhuangzi will be troublesome after all. It will be even more troublesome if Zhou Bing finds out."
"The prince has a noble status, are you still afraid of offending Zhou Bing?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, but that it's unnecessary." Shen Qingyun sat aside and looked at Qiao'er and said, "I have enough troubles. I really don't want to provoke unnecessary enemies for no reason, and for an unrelated person."
Qiao'er heard this and whispered to himself: "Actually, it can't be said to be completely irrelevant..."
"What?"
"It's nothing." Qiao'er shook his head and chuckled, "The Crown Prince is right. The Crown Prince didn't let me freeze to death, nor did he hand me over to Zhou Bing. His kindness has already been exhausted. Qiao'er received the favor from the Crown Prince and was unable to repay it, of course. You shouldn’t cause trouble to the prince.”
"It's best if you think so."
Qiaoer said: "Thanks to the care of Xiaozhen Xiaohuan and Aunt Li, Qiaoer's health has been much better and he is about to bid farewell to the crown prince."
"You're welcome, girl." Shen Qingyun smiled and waved, "Well, I will help you to the end and send the Buddha to the west. The girl will stay in the village for another day. Tomorrow I will ask Lao Qi to give the girl a ride. You can't wait any longer in Liangzhou City. I'll give you another sum of money. How about going to Shangcheng? Or Hanxing, Chencang, or Xiyang."
These four are the cities closest to Liangzhou.
"Qiao'er, thank you for your kindness."
"You're welcome." Seeing Qiao'er's low mood, Shen Qingyun comforted him: "You can't beat Zhou Bing, why not find a place to start over? As for your household registration issue, I will also find a way to solve it for you. You no need to worry."
Qiao'er was very moved when he heard what he said. He bowed to Shen Qingyun and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking so thoughtfully about Qiao'er. Everything will be as the Prince said."
When Shen Qingyun saw Qiaoer agreeing, he also smiled.
"The girl and I have become acquainted. I will cook tonight to send the girl off. At the same time, I will celebrate getting the old man's calligraphy treasure and let the girl see my craftsmanship."
"The prince can also cook?" Qiao'er was a little surprised.
Can you eat the food cooked by the pampered Earl?
"I don't cook easily, so you are in luck." Shen Qingyun was quite proud of this.
At this moment, Zhong Qi came quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou sent someone to the door."
"Zhou Bing?"
"yes."
"Where are the people?"
"Just outside Zhuangzi."
Shen Qingyun looked at Qiao'er, who understood, nodded slightly, and stepped back.
Zhong Qi brought the person here, but he was one of the three people arrested last time.
"The villain meets the Crown Prince."
Shen Qingyun leaned back and asked, "Why does your young master want to see me?"
"My young master said that he offended the prince last time. Today, he will hold a dinner at the villa to apologize to the prince and ask the prince to show his respect."
"That's it..." Shen Qingyun was a little helpless.
He thought Zhou Bing was just being polite.
However, since they are trying to apologize and want to give you a smile, it would not be good to refuse them directly.
"Brother Zhou is too polite. Go back and tell Brother Zhou that I will come tonight as promised."
"Yes, I will resign, villain."
"Lao Qi, send him out."
When people left, Qiaoer came out from behind.
Shen Qingyun shrugged slightly and said, "The girl's luck is gone."
Qiaoer covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this.
"Girl, please have a good night's rest. I will see you off personally tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Qingyun hummed slightly and called out: "Old Qi, prepare the car."
The carriage drove slowly along the road to the Zhou family's villa. After crossing a hill, it could be seen in the distance.
At this moment, a burst of flying dust suddenly rolled up not far away from the road, and several riders galloped past.
These people were extremely strong and mighty, and their horses were even taller, several times larger than Shen Qingyun's cart-drawing horses. Each horse had three tasselless spears hanging on both sides.
"This is..." Shen Qingyun was surprised when he saw them going to Liangzhou City, "These people are so brave, actually blatantly bringing weapons into the city?"
Zhong Qi was even more stunned and whispered: "It's Yulin Mountain."
"Yulinshan...are they Yulinshan?" Shen Qingyun was startled. He turned around and looked at the backs of several people, but all he could see was the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated.
"Yes." Zhong Qi nodded and explained: "Yulinshan originated from Jianghu. After surrendering to the empire, it formed its own army. The British General Gong Yuecheng is both the commander of Yulinshan and the head of Yulinshan. My uncle is now guarding it. Lu'an City also has Yulinshan under its command, and together with the Qianjun Guards of General Hou Feiji of Huaiyang and the Red Feather Elite Cavalry commanded by His Highness King Xiang Yu of Yue, they are considered the three elites of the empire.
The disciples of Yulin Mountain all wear iron armor and carry spears on their backs. They have the reputation of being invulnerable and unscathed in a hundred battles..."
Zhong Qi kept talking about the information about Yulin Mountain, his eyes full of admiration and yearning.
