Chapter 132 Which good family chooses their daughter-in-law from the harem?
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Chaoyan went to Shen Yushu's tent. Shen
Yushu looked up immediately when she heard the noise. When she saw who it was, she stood up from the table respectfully and saluted her, "Your Majesty."
"Brother, there's no one else here, so don't be so formal with me!"
"There are many people in the camp, so it's better to be careful." Shen Yushu has always been cautious, especially with the Chinese delegation present, and nothing can go wrong.
Shen Chaoyan thought about Tuoba Xi's pregnancy being made public, and blinked at Shen Yushu, "Don't worry, those people in China have a headache now, they probably don't have the time to send people to keep watch."
Shen Yushu poured Shen Chaoyan a cup of tea, and asked, "A killer sneaked into Xiyun Mountain last night. It was my fault. Are you and the emperor injured?"
He was responsible for the security of the entire camp, and he was busy from morning to night, and never rested.
Although it was within their expectations that the delegation and Sikong Yu's people would wait for an opportunity to take action, it was ultimately his fault for not doing the security work well.
Originally, he planned to finish the things at hand and then go to the emperor in person to apologize.
Shen Chaoyan waved her hands, "It's okay, the emperor and I are not injured."
As she said that, she picked up the tea on the table and took a big sip.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Shen Yushu frowned slightly and said seriously, "Yan'er, I saw that you were limping when you came in just now. If you are not feeling well and it is inconvenient to tell the emperor, you can tell your elder brother."
Poof!
The tea in Shen Chaoyan's mouthful of tea came out on the spot before she could swallow it, "Cough! Cough cough!"
Seeing that her cheeks were red from coughing, Shen Yushu hurried forward to help her calm down. At the same time, he became more and more certain that his sister was injured, "Yan'er, if you don't want to tell your elder brother, your elder brother won't force you. You wait here, your elder brother will ask Doctor Zhong to come over and let him take a look at you."
"Brother! I'm really fine!"
Seeing that he was about to go out to ask for the doctor, Shen Chaoyan hurriedly stood up to stop him.
However, she took too big a step and pulled her leg, causing her to gasp in pain.
Shen Yushu saw her expression of enduring pain, and he felt even more distressed, "Yan'er, you said that your elder brother was distant with you, but you didn't even tell your elder brother that you were injured. Aren't you even more distant?"
Shen Chaoyan cursed the man who tortured her last night from head to toe in her heart. Thinking that her elder brother was still a pure and innocent boy, it was not easy to tell him directly, so she could only lie, "Brother, I accidentally sprained my ankle when I was walking on the mountain road last night. I have already asked Doctor Zhong to check it out. There is no need to bother Doctor Zhong for such a minor injury." Shen Yushu was skeptical, "Really?" Shen Chaoyan nodded hurriedly
, "Really!" She was afraid that Shen Yushu would continue to ask questions, so she turned around and said, "Brother, I accidentally sprained my ankle when I was walking on the mountain road last night. I have already asked Doctor Zhong to check it out. There is no need to bother Doctor Zhong for such a minor injury." Shen Yushu was skeptical, "Really?"
Shen Chaoyan nodded hurriedly, "Really!"
She was afraid that Shen Yushu would continue to ask questions, so she turned around and said , "Really?" Changing the subject, "Brother, I came to you because the Emperor instructed me to do so."
Shen Yushu's expression froze when he heard this. "Does the Emperor have anything for you to tell me?"
Shen Chaoyan nodded. "That's right. Sikong Yu has been dishonest since the envoys arrived in the capital. And this time, in addition to Tuoba Xi, even the Second Prince of China was mixed in the delegation and came to Daxia secretly. The Emperor found out that Sikong Yu had contact with the Second Prince of China. The two of them even reached a cooperation and planned to poison the Chinese delegation when they returned to China, and put the blame on Daxia, thereby provoking a war between the two countries."
She attributed all the information she found in the heavenly book to Sikong Shentou.
This would not expose her secrets, and would also make the information more credible.
As expected, after Shen Yushu heard her words, the expression on his handsome face became a little more solemn, "The Second Prince of China knows that China is no match for our Great Xia, but he still wants to destroy the peace that his father has worked so hard to achieve? Could it be that Tuoba Xi's pregnancy has something to do with this Second Prince?"
China's military strength is not as strong as Great Xia's. After the defeat this time, they wanted to use Tuoba Xi to marry the prince by taking the opportunity to celebrate Sikong Huang's birthday.
Since the Second Prince of China colluded with Sikong Yu, it also indirectly shows that Tuoba Xi's pregnancy is related to him.
Shen Chaoyan saw that Shen Yushu guessed Tuoba Lan's method at once, and she really wanted to applaud him.
Her eldest brother is really smart!
"That's right. After investigation by the emperor, it was found that the baby in Tuoba Xi's belly was the child of the second prince Tuoba Lan. The two of them had already secretly decided to spend their lives together. When Tuoba Xi was designated as the princess to be married to, she had actually had an affair with Tuoba Lan. But the two of them took advantage of the situation and planned to put the blame on the emperor for the baby in Tuoba Xi's belly. Fortunately, the emperor saw through their trick in advance and asked Doctor Zhong to reveal Tuoba Xi's pregnancy."
"So that's how it is."
Shen Yushu nodded slightly, paused, and said to Shen Chaoyan, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will keep a close eye on every move of King Jing and Qi Yingmo."
"Tuoba Lan asked Qi Yingmo to prepare poison for him to kill the entire delegation. Brother, you should find a way to switch the poison, but don't let the delegation die in Daxia."
"Okay."
"By the way, big brother, you are 22 years old this year, right?"
Shen Yushu was stunned when Shen Chaoyan suddenly asked about his age, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Others like you and my second brother have already started to discuss marriage, you and my second brother have to hurry up and find a sister-in-law for me!" When Shen Chaoyan said this, he stared at Shen Yushu without blinking, not wanting to miss any of his expressions.
When Shen Yushu faced his sister's urging to get married, his expression was stunned, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his right wrist.
He was silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "My eldest brother has been fighting for many years, and he lives a life of licking blood and sword. If a girl marries me, her heart will always be hanging in the air. How painful it is. My eldest brother does not want your future sister-in-law to live such a life of fear, so I don't want to marry for the time being."
As he spoke, his left hand gently stroked his right wrist, and his eyes hid a bit of restraint and nostalgia.
Shen Chaoyan lowered his eyes, followed his movements, and glanced at his right hand, but saw nothing.
[Heavenly Book, what's on my eldest brother's right hand?]
Heavenly Book: [Host, your eldest brother is wearing a string of fine agarwood bracelets on his left wrist. It was Xue Youran who asked for it for him when he went to the border with him four years ago.]
In the Great Xia Dynasty, men wore agarwood bracelets to pray for blessings and safety.
Especially soldiers like Shen Yushu, they all regarded agarwood as a spiritual object, carrying it can ward off evil spirits and keep the body healthy.
Shen Chaoyan: [My eldest brother is such a pure love warrior! For Sister Xue, he actually plans to stay single forever? No way, if he doesn't get married, my second brother, this playboy, won't get married either. My parents are still waiting to have grandchildren, I have to think of a way to let my eldest brother and Sister Xue get married as soon as possible.]
Of course, before that, she had to ask Xue Youran what he thought.
Tianshu: [Host, wake up, which good family chooses their daughter-in-law from the harem?]
