Chapter 115 Madam is so generous.
Shen Yuan's expression was calm, "Everyone in this room is trustworthy, so to speak."
Liu bit her lip lightly, "Sister, yesterday at the Donglin Hunting Ground, Zhinu assassinated the Fourth Prince and broke his leg bones."
“General Shen was also present at the time. I know he made a big mistake this time. Can I…”
She wanted to ask if Chen Zhao could stop tracking down Zhi Nu, but the words were on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't say them.
Shen Yuan looked at Shen Zhao, "Where is Zhao'er Zhinu?"
Chen Zhao frowned, "He ran away. I couldn't catch him. He was wearing a mask and no one could see his face. He just had to hide carefully."
Shen Zhao let Zhi Nu go out of his own selfish motives.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment, "Qingqing, go to the shop and get a mask for Zhinu to wear. From now on, he will be the secret guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
She gave Gu Huailing one last look before standing up. "I'm going to meet someone. Zhao'er and Yao'er, guard the Gu Mansion. Don't let anyone get close to the adults, okay?"
Chen Zhao immediately grasped the sword at his waist and stood up straight, "Don't worry, sister."
Elegant interior of the teahouse.
Gu Jingchu looked at Shen Yuan greedily.
He had thought he would let it go these days, but when he saw the person in front of him.
Then he realized that he couldn't let go.
"What was the cause of death in your previous life?"
Chen Yuan clutched her sleeves tightly, trying her best to keep her tone calm.
Gu Jingchu rarely fell silent.
Chen Yuan raised her eyes and looked at him, if Gu Huailing had not died of drunkenness and dreams in her previous life.
Then Gu Jingchu should know how he detoxified her. That was why she came to see him today.
Chen Yuan's heart beat wildly as she looked at Gu Jingchu who remained silent.
"Gu Jingchu is your elder brother, the one who can support the Gu family. Can't you even give me a clue?"
Despair welled up in my heart little by little.
Gu Jingchu shifted his gaze to Chen Yuan and smiled bitterly, "Am I so unbearable in your heart now?"
Shen Yuan did not respond.
Gu Jingchu's eyes seemed to be filled with desolation. "I am silent because I don't know either."
Shen Yuan suddenly grabbed the edge of the table, "What did you say?"
Gu Jingchu looked at Chen Yuan and said, "I have sworn that I will never lie to you again in this life. In my previous life, my elder brother passed away in a Buddhist temple and no one knows the cause of his death."
Shen Yuan's hands loosened little by little, and the blood disappeared from his face.
His heart was already being eaten by jealousy, but Gu Jingchu still couldn't bear to see her so distraught. "According to my previous life, it will be a few years before my eldest brother passes away. Don't worry too much."
"Thank you very much."
Chen Yuan stood up and walked out without looking back.
Gu Jingchu stared at her back and finally couldn't help but speak, "Yuan'er, if big brother passes away in the future, you..."
"I will never live in vain."
The woman's cold voice came over.
Gu Jingchu raised his hand and touched his chest.
But, it really hurts.
Chen Yuan sat in the carriage, leaning his head against the wall and pressing his brows weakly.
But nothing was found.
The wind blew up the carriage curtains, a puff of steam drifted in, and then there was the sound of heavy rain.
She finally remembered the question that had been bothering Shen Yuan.
There will be a heavy rain in Yizhou soon. The rain will last for more than a month. The embankments will be washed away, all the crops grown by the people will be flooded, and countless people will be displaced.
At that time, she opened all the granaries of the Shen family near Yizhou and asked Gu Jingchu to comfort the victims.
It was because of this incident that Gu Jingchu's subsequent career was smooth sailing.
But at that time, things were too hasty and the flood in Yizhou was too turbulent, so the grain from the capital could not be transported there. Even if all the granaries were opened, it would be a drop in the bucket.
We have to store food around Yizhou in advance, Shen Yuan rubbed his brows.
Suddenly a voice came from outside the carriage.
Shen Yuan lifted the carriage curtain.
A man in red stood in the rain holding an umbrella, and his eyes met with Chen Yuan's through the rain curtain.
It’s Yan Xi, the owner of Ruyi Tower.
He was still wearing the golden mask, and the knuckles of his fingers gripping the umbrella handle were white.
The carriage gradually stopped.
Chen Yuan couldn't see Yan Xi's face clearly, but she could see the smile on the corner of his mouth.
The man spoke, his voice tinged with a chuckle amidst the rain, "Yan would like to invite Madam to a gathering at Ruyi Tower."
Shen Yuan quickly lowered the carriage curtain and said, "Master Yan, please go back. This lady is busy."
A low laugh was heard again, and Yan Xi's words floated in with the rain.
Shen Yuan suddenly ran down from the carriage and stared at Yan Xi in the rain, "Master Yan, what did you say?"
Yan Xi was still smiling. The golden whip shaped like a dragon bone on his waist was shining coldly in the rain.
"Ruyi Tower only welcomes Madam, would you be willing to travel with me?"
The guard behind the car was worried, "Madam, be careful, there's a trap!"
The dragon bone whip was swung out like a sharp blade. No one could see how Yan Xi made the move, but the whip hooked the secret guard's neck.
"A dog dares to bark in front of this host?"
Shen Yuan stepped forward and stared at him coldly, "Master Yan, what are you doing?"
The blood color in the enchanting peach blossom eyes faded, Yan Xi retracted the whip and looked at Chen Yuan.
His tone was as gentle as a spring willow. "Did you get scared? There is no order without rules. This host just wants to help Madam establish some rules."
Chen Yuan's face was cold and his tone was contemptuous. "Is Master Yan qualified to teach the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion the rules?"
Yan Xi was not angry either. He just tilted the umbrella in his hand towards Chen Yuan and asked, "Then, Madam, are you willing to come with me?"
"lead the way."
Under the starry dome in Ruyi Tower.
Shen Yuan sat across from Yan Xi, staring at him warily, "Why do you know about living a life of drunkenness and dreaming of death?"
Yan Xi poured a cup of bamboo leaf tea for Chen Yuan, "Madam, don't be so nervous. Ruyi Tower is the first intelligence tower in Dajin. If it doesn't even know about Zui Sheng Meng Si, then there is no need for it to exist in the world."
As if afraid that Chen Yuan wouldn't believe him, Yan Xi spoke again, "The secret Nanchu medicine that makes one drunk and dreamless is said to be the only one that the Nanchu Saint possesses. Coincidentally, there's an antidote stored in Ruyi Tower, and it's the only one in the world."
Shen Yuan looked into Yan Xi's eyes behind the mask, "Conditions."
Yan Xi looked at Chen Yuan and said, "As long as Madam divorces the Prime Minister, I will offer the antidote with both hands."
Shen Yuan stood up suddenly, knocking over the cup of bamboo tea on the table. "Dream on."
Yan Xi looked at Chen Yuan and took out a black jade box from the side. "If my wife doesn't want to divorce, it's fine. Just take this forgetfulness pill. I will also offer you the antidote to the dream of drunkenness and death."
Chen Yuan stared at the black jade box, "What is the Forget Worry Pill?"
Yan Xi's tone was somewhat casual, "Forget the past and cut off all emotions."
Shen Yuan looked at him as if he was crazy, "How do I know that Master Yan won't lie to me?"
Yan Xi didn't seem to see her eyes, and murmured, "I would lie to anyone but my wife."
His tone was like a slender snake, winding up along Shen Yuan's neck.
Sticky and suffocating.
Chen Yuan gave him one last look and said, "I cannot agree to Master Yan's conditions. Ruyi Tower is a place that collects wealth from all over the world. I am willing to give Master Yan three mines of gold, silver, and jade in exchange for the antidote to the dream of drunkenness and death."
The smile on Yan Xi's lips faded little by little.
He stared at Shen Yuan and said sarcastically, "Madam, you are so generous."
