Chapter 68: Each Shows Its Own Means
Two days later, the chief manager was left behind and Xie Yunzhao had not returned yet.
Shen Shurong was worried, but he still followed the plan and returned to Beijing first.
When passing by Linzhou, the prefectural chancellor met him. Thinking of his son's request, he tentatively asked Shen Shurong: "Princess, Sun Yongkang's daughter is still in prison. I like her. I want to ask you, can I take her as a concubine?"
Originally, my son wanted to marry Sun Feifei, but he was still young and didn't know anything. Sun Yongkang had become a criminal, so what was the point of marrying the daughter of a criminal?
After many objections, his son finally compromised and decided to take her in without marrying her. He then agreed to help ask, "If a concubine doesn't work, a concubine can be fine."
He also wanted to keep this child. If he was sentenced like Sun Yongkang, he would probably suffer a lot.
Chen Shurong was not the kind of person who would kill anyone, not to mention that she had helped her invisibly.
The daughter of the former prefect is in prison, so why is the soup kitchen still providing porridge?
The truth came to light. The person who gave out porridge had always been the princess. It was the former prefect who used the princess's rice to gain fame for himself, and more people were grateful to her.
"It depends on her wishes. She can be my concubine."
"Thank you, my lord."
Shen Shurong waved his hand, it was just a matter of words.
Yu Sheng got his father's permission and ran to the prison happily. He could save Sun Feifei.
The prime minister also went with him, fearing that the child would not be able to explain himself clearly.
Sun Feifei was locked up with her mother. When she saw Yu Sheng coming, she felt a little jealous. This kid is sincere.
The chancellor apologized and said, "Madam, Feifei, the princess only agreed to let Feifei be Sheng'er's concubine. This is the only way to keep Feifei."
How could Sun Zhang not understand and was already very grateful.
She patted her daughter's hand and nodded with tears in her eyes.
Sun Feifei also shed tears. She was very grateful that he could do this. "I only have one request. If you don't agree, I would rather die."
Yu Sheng asked anxiously: "What request..."
The prime minister gently tugged at Yu Sheng's sleeve, fearing that she would make unreasonable demands and her silly son would agree to them.
"You can't marry Hu Lingyun. Anyone else can do it except her."
Yu Sheng nodded. What's the difficulty? "I promise."
The prime minister didn't say anything. If he didn't marry her, he could marry someone else. Fortunately, not too much.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time. Yu Sheng walked to the cell door and waited to give them some space.
It has been raining heavily these past two days, and Chen Shurong has been standing by the window looking out recently. He doesn't know where Xie Yunzhao has gone. As naughty as he is, will he jump in through the window?
He wanted to give her a surprise, but she would only think it was a surprise.
......
We will arrive in the capital in four days. Where is he?
In the Chaohui Courtyard study room of the Duke of Lu's mansion, Chiyu came running back: "My Lord, the princess is about to go to the capital, and I didn't see the Second Master."
"Have our people returned?"
"Not yet, but the Second Master can't be safe and sound. Why would he leave the Princess alone?"
Xie Yunzheng did not dare to relax: "Send more people, and make sure he does not return to Beijing alive."
"Yes, I have already arranged it."
......
It was raining heavily. Xie Yunzhao was stabbed in the back while trying to save Qingzhu.
Gu Kaizhi rushed over and knocked the man in black away with one punch: "Xie brother, hold on."
"I'm fine. I'm not married yet."
Lu Ziqian's guards protected him as he fought the enemy: "This is already the third wave, Xie Er, who did you offend?"
"Why don't you follow the princess? She has the Purple Scale Guards."
"Are you stupid? Would I let her take risks?"
Three guards were all killed, and they didn't expect there would be so many people at this moment.
Chen Shurong couldn't wait for Xie Yunzhao, so he sent out all the guards of the princess's mansion, and only the Purple Scale Guards were with him.
The Zilin Guard does not protect others, it is only responsible for her safety.
Two days' journey from the capital, Xie Yunzhao finally caught up with Shen Shurong's team.
Lu Ziqian had a wound on his face and Xie Yunzhao had a wound on his back.
Shen Shurong was so scared that she was about to die. How could there be an assassin? Was it because she was too harsh?
But why would the assassin look for Xie Yunzhao instead of himself?
"Brother Yun Zhao, do you know who did this? Do you have any clues?"
"Rongrong, don't worry. I'm fine. I know what's going on."
Shen Shurong wanted to ask more questions, but he sent him to the carriage. Xie Yunzhao did not dare to delay and led the team back to Beijing quickly.
He had already made up his mind, but he couldn't tell Rongrong because Rongrong wouldn't believe it. His own brother wanted to kill him.
She was too good to know how dirty their brothers' hearts were.
Originally, he regarded Xie Yunzheng as his own brother. When his father asked him to give up the position of crown prince, Xie Yunzheng refused in every possible way, saying that he could not take it away from his brother.
For the sake of his father's peace of mind and the consolidation of the Duke's Mansion's power, he gave in.
He thought he was wronged, and it was enough to give up only one, but he didn’t know that he had to give up Shen Shurong.
It was not until the moment he lost Rongrong that he suddenly realized that Xie Yunzheng was far from being as calm and peaceful as he appeared to be.
His refusal was actually a kind of guidance, guiding him, as an older brother, to be more magnanimous!
Maybe he had been planning this for a long time, not only to take away the title of the Crown Prince, but also to include Shen Shurong in his plan.
He was the only one who foolishly listened to his parents and urged his brothers to be united.
The two of them have long gone in opposite directions.
From then on, he no longer just wanted to play around, but secretly trained his own people, not wanting to be controlled by others forever.
But in the four years since he lost Rongrong, he never thought of harming Xie Yunzheng's life. As long as Rongrong was fine, he would not touch him.
Now he is shamelessly harming me. He must be unable to bear to see him marry Rongrong.
In this case, let’s each show our abilities.
Shen Shurong felt uncomfortable, he should have known who it was, why didn't he tell him?
Is it because he is unsure, or is it because he is afraid that she won’t believe it?
I always feel that my mind changes too quickly and Xie Yunzhao will not believe it.
But the change was slow, and he distrusted her even less.
She sighed. The wedding will be in five days. After the wedding, she will make it clear to him that they are husband and wife.
They arrived safely in the capital two days later. Xie Yunzhao sent Shen Shurong back and went home to find his father.
Duke Lu was shocked. His son was assassinated?
"Who did it?"
"How would my son know? Daddy will send someone to investigate thoroughly."
"Yes, Dad will send someone right away."
"How's the injury?"
"It's okay. It won't affect my marriage."
"Asshole, you say whatever you want. Dad cares about you." Duke Lu glared at him helplessly.
"Since you have nothing else to do, here is a... uh... military book. Dad has prepared it for you and will give it to you when you come back... Go back and study it carefully."
Xie Yunzhao frowned. When had he ever read a military book?
What did his father give him this thing for?
But he obediently took it and left, handing it to Qing Ying when he got out of the door. "Take the military book back. I'll go see my mother."
Qing Ying took it, flipped it over casually, his pupils widened, his face turned red as a monkey's butt, and he quickly put it in his arms and went back to put it in the middle of Xie Yunzhao's desk.
The second master should need it.
When the Duke's wife heard that her son was injured, she was so distressed that she didn't know what to say: "Be careful, you will be married soon."
"It's not my son's fault. Someone was trying to assassinate me."
"Okay, I don't blame you. Stay at home quietly for the next two days and don't see the princess again before you get married."
Xie Yunzhao:......
Not allowing him to see Rongrong is more painful than being assassinated.
