Chapter 274
“Shen Zheng has been at the border for so many years, he must have some skills,” Shen Qingnian said with a frown.
Although she said this, there was still some doubt in her expression, and she was obviously not quite sure what to do.
Song Xuan's dark eyes were cold and sharp: "How could Shen Zheng have that ability? It's just because he has been exchanging letters with Meng Shan in private."
Zhou Shiyu also discovered this matter. The current Grand General of the State was actually exchanging letters with the enemy state. He was truly extremely audacious!
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian was startled and blurted out, "That Shen Zheng actually has the guts! What is he planning to do...?"
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and murmured, "That's right, Shen Zheng's ambition is very great. He only cares about power in this life. He can even use his own blood relatives and his spouse. What is there that he wouldn't do?"
Song Xuan also spoke coldly: "Shen Zheng and his son have long harbored rebellious intentions. They colluded with the enemy country and deserve to die!"
It was only after Shen Zheng and Meng Shan entered the capital that he discovered their treacherous intentions. He originally thought that Shen Zheng only wanted to be second only to the emperor, but who would have thought that he would be so bold.
“Your Majesty,” Shen Qingnian couldn’t help but pull the man’s sleeves tighter, her tone tinged with worry.
Now that Shen Zheng holds the Tiger Tally and is colluding with Chong Meng, the situation looks very unfavorable.
Seeing her nervousness, Song Xuan comforted her, "Qing Nian, don't worry. Although Shen Zheng holds the military seal, I will not let him leave the capital. Moreover, the goddess's father is General Chong Meng. If we can separate her from Meng Shan, it will save us a lot of trouble."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian immediately recalled Xia Qianjun's actions over the past few days. She said, "Xia Qianjun's relationship with Meng Yun seems to be quite unusual. She often gives Meng Yun gifts. I also noticed last time that the sachet on her waist is the same as Meng Yun's."
The relationship between the two must be extraordinary.
Song Xuan narrowed his eyes, leaned down to Shen Qingnian's ear, and whispered something.

That night, just as Shen Qingnian was about to go to sleep, Song Xuan, dressed in plain clothes, arrived.
Shen Qingnian saw the man walk in through the window and immediately pushed him out.
"No, no, we mustn't let Xiaoxi misunderstand."
Since the last time, this person has been climbing in through windows like a thief.
Song Xuan pulled the person into his arms, his dark eyes smiling: "It's not that I want to sleep, but about Xia Qianjun and Meng Yun."
Shen Qingnian: "......"
A moment later, a dark figure departed from the golden palace.
Song Xuan carried Shen Qingnian to an empty palace. When they reached the entrance, he paused noticeably before entering.
The night was as dark as ink. With the help of the dim moonlight, Shen Qingnian noticed with some difficulty that the palace had no plaque and she didn't know what it used to be.
The next moment, she was led inside by the man's hand.
The main hall was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything. She just followed the man, whose large, calloused hands made her feel safe.
"Your Majesty, how much longer until we arrive?" Shen Qingnian asked Song Xuan in a low voice.
This palace is uninhabited, and Xia Qianjun and Meng Yun have arranged to meet here tonight.
Song Xuan took the woman's hand and stood under the beam in the main hall. He then pulled her into his arms, the faint scent of jasmine filling the air.
He said softly, "We need to get onto the roof beams first."
[Guess which palace it is!!!]
