Chapter 315 Poisonous
Although I don’t know why Xie Jingyu asked her to make a brocade robe for the emperor, the emperor treated her well, so it’s no big deal for her to make one for him.
Even if the news of a needle falling on the brocade robe she made spread, would the emperor dare to wear it?
If she gives it to the emperor, will Queen Song and the Queen Mother accuse her of attempting to regicide?
Shen Wan was embarrassed.
Because of this embarrassing incident, Chen Wan was too embarrassed to go out for a day and didn't leave Zhaolanxuan for two days.
On the evening of the third day, after dinner, she took Xie Jingyu to walk with her in the garden, and they returned to the yard only when it was dark.
Shen Wan returned home and read half a book, then went to the study to pick out two more. Although he had chosen the books, he could not come back.
Xie Jingyu held her and made her sit on the desk, not letting her get down.
He bit her earlobe and bewitched her in her ear. Shen Wan couldn't resist it, but on the desk, it was absolutely not allowed!
She didn't know how many times she had seen the secret guards jump in through the window. If they caught her, she would not be alive, although this worry might be a bit unnecessary.
But it is better to be safe than sorry.
Shen Wan leaned against his chest, her eyes misty, "Can we go back to the house..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked again. However, just as he touched it, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Brother Jing Yu..."
Xie Jingyu and Shen Wan were stunned by the voice.
This seems to be Chu Yang's voice...
Didn’t he go to Jizhou?
The two of them didn't react for a moment, and Chu Yang had already pushed the door open.
Seeing Shen Wan sitting on the desk, Chu Yang's brain instantly crashed, his face flushed, and he turned around quickly, "I didn't see anything..."
Not to mention Shen Wan, her face was burning with anger and she felt like dying. She pinched Xie Jingyu fiercely, wishing she could strangle him to death.
Xie Jingyu's forehead trembled with pain, and he looked at Chu Yang, "Didn't you go to Jizhou? Why are you back?"
Chu Yang turned his back, not daring to turn his head, "Didn't you ask me if I was willing to marry Shen Ling? I've been thinking about it for two days, I want to marry her!"
Shen Wan, “…”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Xie Jingyu frowned, "You rushed back just to tell me this?"
Chu Yang asked, "Shen Ling wasn't promised to Young Master Chen, right?"
There was a tremor in his voice.
Xie Jingyu asked, "How do you know this?"
When he saw him off that day, Chu Yang didn't even know that General Huaihua had asked for Shen Ling's hand in marriage on behalf of his son.
Chu Yang said, "I heard what Young Master Du said..."
He went to Jizhou with the son of the left prime minister to assist the Yun family in disaster relief, because Xie Jingyu asked him if he was willing to marry Chen Ling, and this matter had been lingering in his mind and could not be shaken off.
He and Xie Jingyu have known each other for ten years and knew that Xie Jingyu would not ask casually. When he was having dinner with Young Master Du, he was absent-minded and mentioned Shen Ling's brother, Young Master Shen.
Young Master Du opened up and said, "I heard that the son of General Huaihua is asking to marry Miss Shen. The two families will soon become friends. If the disaster in Jizhou is not serious, we might even be able to have a drink at their wedding when we return to Beijing..."
At that time, Chu Yang felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer in the heart.
He carried it for half a day, and when night fell, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
He got up, dressed, left a letter for Young Master Du, and rushed back to Kyoto under the stars.
When he rushed back to Beijing, the city gates were closed, so he climbed over the city wall to enter.
Xie Jingyu's head was buzzing, and he was a little worried that he trusted Chu Yang too much. Shen Wan said, "I haven't heard that Shen Ling is engaged. General Shen probably hasn't agreed to the marriage yet."
The marriage may not be allowed at all.
Chen Wan told Xie Jingyu about the things in her previous life through a dream. Xie Jingyu told the princess under the guise of Taoist Qingyuan, saying that Young Master Chen was a good person, but Shen Ling was destined to have a disaster if she married him, and there was a possibility that two lives would be lost. However, as long as she was careful, there was a high possibility of avoiding it.
The princess will definitely tell Madam Shen the truth. There are so many young masters from noble families in Kyoto, and many of them have good character. Shen Ling doesn't have to marry Young Master Chen, so there is no need to take the risk and marry her daughter to Young Master Chen.
Shen Wan said, “It’s better to propose marriage as soon as possible.”
Chu Yang said, "I, I don't know if Shen Ling is willing to marry me..."
Chen Wan smiled and said, "Chen Ling likes you, just ask the wife of Linjiang Marquis to help you propose marriage."
Madam Shen has such a good relationship with the princess, she must know that Xie Jingyu and Chu Yang are close. Chu Yang has a good character, family background, appearance and talent. In addition, Shen Ling likes him, so there is no reason for General Shen and Madam Shen to refuse.
Chu Yang stared at Shen Wan in a daze, with ecstasy in his eyes, but it was suppressed, "She likes me? Sister-in-law didn't lie to me?"
Shen Wan smiled and said, “If I didn’t know that she liked you and didn’t want to marry Master Chen, would my husband and I be able to bring you together?”
Xie Jingyu said disdainfully, "Tomorrow I will ask my mother to propose marriage for you. Be more cautious. If you die in Jizhou, Chen Ling will go to pay tribute to you with her husband."
Shen Wan, “…”
Chu Yang, “…”
Chu Yang's mouth twitched fiercely, and he said to Shen Wan, "This mouth is poisonous, don't kiss him anymore."
Before Xie Jingyu got angry, Chu Yang ran away.
Shen Wan frowned and said, "It will rain in Jizhou in four days. Can he still get to Jizhou before the rain?"
Xie Jingyu calculated that he could just make it before the rain.
"If he doesn't arrive in time, I'll have the Emperor give him thirty lashes of the cane when he returns to the capital."
…
The next day, after breakfast, Xie Jingyu went to see the princess. The princess said, "The Marquis of Linjiang and Ling'er are a good match, but the Marquis of Linjiang has gone to Jizhou. It would be too hasty to propose to him..."
Xie Jingyu said, "He returned to Beijing last night and asked me for help."
princess,"……"
Chen Ling grew up under the care of the princess, and so did Chu Yang.
The two of them were in love with each other and had a common goal, and the princess was willing to help act as a matchmaker.
Shen Wan wanted to go with the princess, but the princess didn't let her.
The princess went to the Shen family, Xie Jingyu went to the military camp, and Shen Wan had nothing to do, so she admired the flowers in the garden for a while and then returned to Zhaolanxuan.
As a result, when I returned to my room, I hadn’t even finished my tea when my maid Qiu’er came in and said, “Princess, Miss Shen is here.”
Shen Ling?
The princess went to the Shen family to help Chu Yang propose marriage, so why did Shen Ling come to the Jingbei Palace?
Shen Wan got up and went out, and saw Shen Ling walk in with her maid.
Shen Wan smiled and said, “Fortunately, the princess didn’t let me go to the Shen family together, otherwise you would have made a wasted trip.”
Shen Ling bowed and greeted Shen Wan, who smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, but what do you want to see me about?"
Chen Ling's ears flushed red. After entering the flower hall and sending the maids away, Chen Ling asked, "Did the Marquis of Linjiang go to Jizhou, besides helping the Yun family with disaster relief, do you have any other important matters to attend to?"
Shen Wan asked, "Why do you ask?"
"I, I'm just a little curious..."
Shen Ling's voice was very low.
Shen Wan nodded slightly.
Shen Ling blurted out, "Is it dangerous?"
Shen Wan said, "Don't worry, he will definitely come back safely."
Shen Ling was already worried, and after Shen Wan said this, she became even more worried.
Chen Ling did not stay in the Jingbei Palace for long and left in a quarter of an hour. After leaving the Jingbei Palace, Chen Ling got on the carriage. She took out a golden token from her bosom. On it were four big characters "As if I were here in person", which made people tremble with fear.
How could the emperor trust her with such an important task if she was so reckless as to give her such a token as a family heirloom jade pendant?
Don't let the Emperor's important event go unnoticed...
