Chapter 280 Pretty straightforward
"Prince Jun is quite decisive when he needs to be ruthless."
Shen Xuan and Fu Zhaoning were playing chess, their bony hands holding the black pieces, looking quite pleasing to the eye.
Fu Zhaoning has been treating him wholeheartedly for nearly a month, and he has clearly felt much better.
Over the past half month, he heard about the ups and downs in the capital every day.
The royal family can be said to have become a joke again this time.
For a princess who was personally appointed by the emperor to cause such a thing, it would definitely be a loss of face for the emperor.
"That's probably because he can't face it. After all, he has been stupid for so many years." The white piece in Fu Zhaoning's hand fell with a light click.
Who made Xiao Lanyuan protect Song Yunyao for so many years without even finding out who his benefactor was?
Shen Xuan looked at her move and chuckled.
"That's good. You're not the silly girl who is easily moved." Her move was very sharp and blocked his way in an instant.
He admired Fu Zhaoning more and more.
She is very proficient in medical skills.
She also has her own style in playing chess.
Looking at the entire generation of the Shen family, there is no one who can compare to her.
"Uncle, is the Qingcheng Sect very powerful?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
Xiao Lanyuan killed Xiao Jun personally and brought him to the Song Mansion with such fanfare that the news spread widely outside. According to Qing Yi, he wanted the people from the Qingcheng Sect to come directly to him for revenge in order to protect her.
"Qingcheng Sect?"
Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and made his move, which had the power to bring the dead back to life.
"The Qingcheng Sect is currently in internal strife." He glanced at Fu Zhaoning, "Isn't it Prince Jun who has provoked them? Let him take the brunt of it first."
If the people from Qingcheng Sect really find her, the Shen family will not be a pushover.
"That's right, let Xiao Lanyuan take it first."
Fu Zhaoning gave Shen Xuan another acupuncture treatment and then left. After she left, Shen Xuan called the guards.
"The Shen family has been keeping a low profile for so many years, that's enough. I want to take back the power to run the family."
"Master, it's great that you think so!"
Shen Xuan's guards were all very surprised.
In the past, Shen Xuan had almost given up all the power to run the family, and gave most of it to the second branch, so the Shen family is becoming less and less like the original Shen family.
They, the servants, didn't know what to say, they were just worried secretly, as their master wasn't in good health, there was really nothing they could do.
But now the master has regained his fighting spirit and his health is improving. The Shen family will eventually regain its former glory, right?
"Well, I can't be unable to help my niece when she is bullied in the future."
Shen Xuan smiled slightly.
He always sees the shadow of his youth in Fu Zhaoning.
Although there is not enough evidence to prove that Fu Lin is Shen Qiao, he is almost certain that Fu Zhaoning is his Shen Xuan's niece.
It was a cold night.
In the darkness, a thin black shadow moved and crawled into the wall of the Fu Mansion.
The person following behind frowned, and hatred flashed in his eyes again.
How could that be?
The golden-backed snake searched for more than half a month and actually found the Fu family again!
Could it be that the thing is in the Fu family?
Ji Niang followed quietly, stood beside Hai Changjun, and looked at the Fu family.
"Found it?"
"The golden-backed snake has already gone in." Hai Changjun said in a deep voice.
"Is your secret method not working? It took me half a month to find something."
Jiniang is a little doubtful now.
She originally thought that with Hai Changjun's ability and the golden-backed snake, they would be able to find the Qing family's token within a few days. She didn't expect that the search would take so long.
Hu Jiatai has been stalling for time, using all kinds of excuses to prevent the old patriarch from handing the token over to Prince Jun.
Fortunately, Prince Jun has been staying at home and not seeing visitors these days. It seems that he has caught a cold and is bedridden.
Young master Qing Yunxiao has been looking for things in the capital every day, but has found nothing.
"What do you mean my secret method doesn't work? Don't you think about the time now? It's freezing cold. The capital of Zhao State is freezing cold. The golden-backed snake is almost ready to hibernate. Its reaction and senses are relatively slow. It won't be able to find things that quickly at this time."
Hai Changjun snorted, "Besides, haven't we found it now?"
"Really found it? The thing is in the Fu family?"
This is Princess Jun’s parents’ home, and Ji Niang had already found out about it.
"This woman Fu Zhaoning is everywhere, so it doesn't seem strange that she has these things." Hai Changjun waved his hand, "Let's go in and take a look!"
Fu Zhaoning was taking out the jade flute at this time.
She originally wanted to return the jade flute to Qing Yunxiao, but she hadn't seen him. It was said that Qing Yunxiao had been traveling around the capital these days. Since she hadn't seen him, she asked Qing Yi to tell him that she had something to return to him.
No idea how Qing Yi passed the message, Qing Yunxiao hasn't come to see her yet.
It was the late night, and Fu Zhaoning had just made some medicine and read a medical book. He couldn't fall asleep so he took out the jade flute.
She had never taken out the jade flute since she put it in the space. Just now when she was reading the medical book, she suddenly thought of a possibility.
The jade flute was lost by Qing Yunxiao. He said that the token of love was also lost. So could he have hidden the token of love in the jade flute?
Now she was turning the jade flute over and over to examine it.
If the token was really hidden in this jade flute, then she really didn't know what to say. She would probably feel ashamed when she went to find Qing Yunxiao.
They have been searching for more than half a month!
Just as Fu Zhaoning was trying hard to find the mechanism of the jade flute, she suddenly felt like she was being watched.
Her intuition and perception have always been good, so she immediately turned around, turned her back and put the jade flute into the space, and at the same time replaced a few silver needles tempered with medicine and held them between her fingers.
She turned around and looked down at the medical book on the table. She looked as if she was reading seriously, but in fact she had held her breath and was concentrating on feeling where the person staring at her was coming from.
Then she heard a soft sound, like the dragging of a rope across the floor.
sand.
Fu Zhaoning's eyes flashed.
Sounds like a snake?
How could snakes come out in such a cold weather? And this place is not uninhabited.
There would basically be only one guard guarding her place at night, but Fu Zhaoning would let them go to another side courtyard to rest in the middle of the night.
If anything happens, she will just make some noise.
Fu Zhaoning looked at the window next to her. Although the weather was cold, she would still leave one of the windows open a crack at night to prevent the room from being too stuffy.
Now I really saw a snake crawling in through the window.
Fu Zhaoning held the needle in his hand, blew out the candle, and attacked instantly.
whoosh!
With a click.
The snake was stabbed in the seven-inch area and fell in and onto the ground.
Fu Zhaoning stood up and was about to light the candle again when he heard two rustling sounds of wind blowing up his sleeves.
Someone is coming, this snake is not ownerless.
