Chapter 65 A weak and incapable young woman
Shen Chaoyan was speechless: [No, I have no money and no power. Why would they plot against a weak and incapable young woman like me?]
Tianshu: [There is no way. Who told the tyrant to only care about you?]
Shen Chaoyan suddenly had an idea: [So, they wanted Qi Yingmo to use his beauty to lure me?]
The comic book author still has a preference for men. Qi Yingmo's face is still very good, even compared to the tyrant and her brother, it is not inferior.
Tianshu: [You think too much. How could the third prince be willing to let Qi Yingmo take this risk?]
That's right, Qi Yingmo is a trump card in Sikong Yu's hand, and he must use it to the best effect.
At first, Qi Yingmo pretended to get close to Shen Yushu and befriend him. It was Sikong Yu's instruction that he wanted to start with Shen Yushu and eliminate the Shen family.
In fact, Sikong Yu also extended an olive branch to her father Shen Qingyuan, but Shen Qingyuan was upright and rejected him on the spot. Sikong
Yu has always been ruthless. Since Shen Qingwu could not be used by him, he naturally could not watch Shen Qingyuan protect Sikong Yan.
Therefore, in order to completely destroy the Shen family and then pull Sikong Yan off the throne, he arranged for Shen Qingwan to enter the Shen family, wanting her to replace the Shen family's legitimate daughter.
Unfortunately, neither side was able to do as he wished.
This time, Sikong Yu saw Shen Yushu return triumphantly, get a promotion and a pay raise, and of course he couldn't sit still.
Meeting with Qi Yingmo is just the first step.
Now that Prince Jing's Mansion is being watched by Sikong Yan, Sikong Yu certainly cannot let Qi Yingmo go to the mansion to find him.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
So, he chose Yuhua Temple as the meeting place.
In the carriage, Shen Chaoyan and Tianshu analyzed each other and guessed the reasons for the meeting between Sikong Yu and Qi Yingmo.
Sikong Yu had hit a wall with her father and her eldest brother, and now he is finally going to extend his claws to her.
Shen Chaoyan is not only not afraid at all, but even a little looking forward to it. When
she goes to Yuhua Temple today, she has to keep an eye on Qi Yingmo's movements, and maybe she can find out Sikong Yu's fox tail.
However, she hopes that the sacrifice can end as soon as possible. The upper right corner of Tianshu shows that there will be a shower in the afternoon.
She doesn't like rainy days when everything is wet.
"Sister Shen?"
Shen Chaoyan was distracted when she heard Xue Youran's call.
"Hmm?"
She raised her eyelids and met Xue Youran's caring eyes. "Sister Shen, I called you many times, why are you always absent-minded? Are you worried about something?"
Many people went to Yuhua Temple today, and the concubines in the harem were all in groups of two or three.
She and Xue Youran took a carriage.
Shen Chaoyan was just thinking too hard.
She blinked at Xue Youran, pointed outside the carriage and replied with a smile, "Nothing, I just saw my elder brother wearing a silver-white robe today and he was so handsome, I was stunned for a moment!"
Xue Youran was slightly stunned, "How can you praise your own brother like this?"
"I'm not exaggerating, my brother really looks like his name, he is as handsome as Yu Shu Lin Feng, he is handsome and talented, he is outstanding! He is a rare handsome young man!"
In this dynasty, a young man of 22 seemed a little old.
But it doesn't matter, her brother's face is very youthful!
After Shen Chaoyan finished praising Shen Yu Shu, Xue Youran's mind emerged with the scene of the last time she saw him.
The border is bitterly cold, he has been gone for so long, I wonder if he has lost weight? As
she thought about it, she subconsciously raised her hand and tried to lift the curtain.
However, her hand stopped in the air, and she picked up the teacup in front of her and drank the water in the cup.
When she calmed down a little, she joked in her usual tone, "In your eyes, your brother is naturally the best!"
"From the tone of Sister Xue, it seems that you are not convinced by what I said! Seeing is believing, come and see for yourself if you don't believe me!" Shen Chaoyan said, and took the initiative to lift the curtain.
Xue Youran raised her eyelids, and the straight back of the man in front of her was reflected in her pupils.
He did look a little thinner, and his figure was as handsome as a bamboo, and he seemed to be taller than she remembered.
"I'm not dissatisfied. I'm very convinced. You have a brother, you're great."
"Hey, why do I smell a sour smell in the carriage?"
Shen Chaoyan sniffed, "Sister Xue, do you also want to have a brother? Otherwise, I'll introduce my brother to you... um!"
Xue Youran didn't wait for her to finish her words, and took a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth, "So noisy, eat your snack!"
Sikong Yan's sedan chair was just in front of their carriage, not far away, and Sikong Yan listened to some of Shen Chaoyan's thoughts from time to time.
It was too noisy outside, and he couldn't hear clearly.
But just hearing the names of Sikong Yu and Qi Yingmo was enough.
In fact, when Shen Yushu reported to him about the border grain and fodder, he mentioned Qi Yingmo.
Unfortunately, the people who tampered with the grain and grass had been silenced long ago, and there was no evidence to prove that Qi Yingmo was related to this matter.
Therefore, he would go with the flow and agree to Qi Yingmo's request to go to Yuhua Temple.
He also wanted to see what other tricks his third brother could play!
Under the leadership of Ye Hanqin, Yu Linjun escorted Yu Niang out of the South City Gate and turned to the official road to Yuhua Temple.
Every year on this day, the empress dowager would go to Yuhua Temple to burn incense and worship.
This time it was even more grand. The palace had informed the abbot of Yuhua Temple many days in advance, and Yuhua Temple had been closed to visitors in recent days.
Along the way, there were few pilgrims, and the carriages passed unimpeded.
The sacrificial ceremony was long and cumbersome, and it was noon when it ended.
Yuhua Temple prepared fasting food for everyone. Sikong Yan helped the Queen Mother to the chamber to eat and rest.
The other concubines also gathered together for lunch.
After the meal, Shen Chaoyan used the excuse of digesting the food to stroll around the backyard alone.
As she walked, she looked around, but she did not see Qi Yingmo.
She also did not see her eldest brother.
Strange! Where did everyone go?
Is there a secret in the temple that she didn't know about?
Boom -
at this moment, there was a sudden thunder above her head.
The sky was clear and sunny just now, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered with dark clouds.
The sky darkened.
The wind rustled the big banyan tree in the yard.
Then, bean-sized raindrops fell.
The rain was fast and fierce, and soon the ground was wet.
Shen Chaoyan did not bring an umbrella, feeling the coolness of the rain, and subconsciously raised her hands to block it above her head.
However, the next moment, an oil-paper umbrella came over to block the wind and rain for her.
Shen Chaoyan was stunned. Looking at the umbrella that suddenly appeared above her head, the first person she thought of was Sikong Yan.
After all, in order to reduce the number of people, the concubines in the harem did not bring palace maids with them when they left the palace this time.
Lugua is still in the palace, so the only person who could possibly send her an umbrella is the tyrant.
Thinking of this, she turned around immediately.
However, when she saw the appearance of the umbrella holder clearly, the smile in Shen Chaoyan's eyes froze instantly, "Why... is it you?"
