Chapter 352 The letter the old prince handed over to her
Everyone retreated tactfully.
Xie Wenyun took out a letter from his sleeve.
Shen Zhao took the letter suspiciously.
When he saw who wrote it, his pupils constricted instantly.
"Did the old prince ask Lord Xie to give it to me?"
She never expected that the old prince would write to her.
Another person who was equally surprised was Xie Wenyun.
Yesterday, his grandfather sent someone to give him this letter and asked him to make sure to deliver it to Chu Mu.
My grandfather had long since left the court and lived a peaceful life.
The only time he appeared was when Yu Heng fought with the third prince.
Although my grandfather showed his appreciation for Chu Mu.
But that was their only meeting in the court.
From then on, my grandfather had no contact with Chu Mu.
Now that Chu Mu has been assassinated, his grandfather wants him to deliver a letter to Chu Mu.
"My grandfather asked me to give it to Your Highness. Please take a look."
Shen Zhao opened the envelope and found another envelope inside.
The signature on it was still the old prince, but it also said that she should pass the letter on to the Ninth Prince.
Um...why bother?
Wouldn't it be better to just let Xie Wenyu hand it over to the Ninth Prince?
That's not right!
Now there are rumors that the Ninth Prince is a fake, so how could the old prince let her hand over the letter to the Ninth Prince?
Unless the old prince knows that the Ninth Prince is not a fake and is still in contact with her.
Shen Zhao couldn't help but break out in a thin layer of sweat on his back.
"Thank you, sir. May I ask where the old prince is now?"
Her intuition told her that the old prince knew all of this.
Her every move was under the old prince's eyes.
Not only her, but also the Nine Kings and even everyone.
Xie Wenyu didn't know what his grandfather wrote to Chu Mu, and was very surprised that there was another letter inside the letter.
There was writing on it, but he didn't look at it.
"Grandfather went traveling."
When his grandfather's servant handed him the letter, he said something to him specifically.
"The old prince has not been in Kyoto recently. He has been traveling. If anyone is looking for him, please let them know."
Shen Zhao directly handed the letter to Xie Wenyun.
"This letter from the old prince is for the Ninth Prince."
Shen Zhao did not intend to hide it from Xie Wenyun.
Xie Wenyun was not surprised. The Ninth Prince he saw that day must be the real Ninth Prince.
No matter how bizarre the rumors outside were, he believed that the man was the Ninth Prince.
"My grandfather asked me to pass this letter to you, Your Highness. As for the rest, I am not responsible for it. I will not disturb Your Highness's rest. I will take my leave now."
Since my grandfather asked me to give the letter to the Ninth Prince to Chu Mu.
That must be my grandfather's reason. He has delivered the letter and now it is time for him to leave.
Suddenly I remembered my father's instructions.
Xie Wenyun added, "Please, Prince Zhong, for the sake of Yuheng's sincerity towards you, protect him."
In fact, my father’s original words were to ask Chu Mu to transfer Yu Heng away from the city gate.
But when he thought about how radiant this brat had become since he got this job, he couldn't bear it.
When my father begged the emperor to recall Yuheng from the battlefield.
This brat locked himself in his own yard for nearly half a year.
He was completely lost and had no energy to do anything.
If he and the second brother had not asked their father to arrange a general's post for Yu Heng, this kid would have been ruined back then.
Everyone has his or her own ambitions, just like him, his father and his second brother, whose ideal is to serve in the court.
Yuheng is on the front line on the battlefield.
He couldn't kill Yuheng's ideals and ambitions.
He will do his best to support him and let him achieve his ambitions.
"Thank you, sir, rest assured. I have always treated Yuheng as a brother and would never let him fall into danger."
She is not a piece of wood, she has a heart and emotions.
She always remembered all the kindness Xie Yuheng had shown her.
Unconsciously, she had already regarded Xie Yuheng as her own.
Shen Yi is her elder brother, and Xie Yuheng is like a younger brother.
Shen Zhao sent Xie Wenyun away.
Ji Yuan took Yu Zihuan to attend a poetry gathering of Kyoto students.
Lord Zhao called away Zheng Shi, who still wanted to say a few words to him.
After everyone left, Shen Zhao sent someone to invite the Ninth Prince.
However, the Ninth Prince had not arrived yet, but the gatekeeper who was guarding the mansion gate had arrived.
"General, there is a group of people outside claiming to be from the Chu family. Please go out and welcome the head of the Chu family into the mansion."
A sneer appeared on Shen Zhao's lips.
Ever since the old vicious woman got into trouble, she sent people to Jinzhou to invite the Chu family members to come.
According to the time, those who went to invite people should not have even arrived in Jinzhou.
Now, members of the Chu family appeared in front of the general's mansion.
I don't know why these people came to Kyoto.
I guess they don’t know anything yet.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have put on such a big show and asked her to go out to greet him.
"Tell those people that Ben was seriously injured and let them come in on their own."
She is now Chu Mu.
We can't let these blood-sucking insects get involved at this critical moment.
The doorman just left.
The people who went to invite the Ninth Prince have returned.
"The general prince is not at home right now. His subordinates said that he will not be returning to the general's mansion in the next two days."
Shen Zhao frowned.
Could something have happened?
Just as I was thinking about it, an old man's unhappy voice came from outside the door.
"I am the patriarch of the Chu family. You servants of the Chu family don't take me seriously.
How dare you stop me from visiting Chu Mu?
You lowly creature, get out of the way quickly."
Chen Zhao's eyes turned cold, this was a fight.
This was accompanied by the shouting of other members of the Chu clan.
“Even if Chu Mu is a prince, he is still a member of the Chu family.
The clan leader came all the way to Kyoto, and as a junior of the Chu family, he had no choice but to go out to welcome the clan leader.
He even dared to use Qiao to ask his servants to stop the patriarch.
This is a violation of our Chu family's rules."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the old patriarch's scolding was heard.
"Don't be disrespectful to the general."
One plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop.
The servants of the General's Mansion were still trying to stop them.
Shen Zhao spoke up, "Let them in."
The Chu family snorted coldly, "You blind people, why don't you get out of the way? Your master has already spoken."
The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Shen Zhao looked towards the light.
The person in the lead was a young man dressed like a student. After he pushed the door open, he immediately turned around and reached out to help the old man behind him.
"Grandfather, please go slower and be careful not to bump into the door sill."
Then an old man with white hair appeared in front of Shen Zhao.
Because he was too old, the old man's eyelids drooped particularly badly.
Only a crack remained.
Through this crack, Shen Zhao clearly saw the gloom in the old man's eyes.
He held the young man's hand and walked towards the room, stopping beside Shen Zhao's bed.
Immediately, a member of the Chu family brought a stool for the old patriarch.
"Is Mu'er feeling better? Just now, my great-uncle heard from your servants outside the mansion that you were seriously injured.
Is the injury serious?"
An expression of an elder caring for the younger generation.
As he spoke, the old patriarch waved to the young man and pulled him closer.
"Mu'er, this is the top scholar, your cousin."
"Top Scholar, hurry up and call me brother."
A hint of contempt flashed in the boy's eyes.
He said flatteringly, "Number one scholar greets brother..."
Shen Zhao immediately interrupted:
