Chapter 139 We Ayuan
Ever since the people from Northern Frontier came to the capital, things in Luojing have been getting more and more frequent. Shen Heng and Shen Zhang reached a consensus and rarely went out in their spare time. Even the usually lively and active Shen Zhiyang was detained in the mansion by them.
Shen Shuwei was allowed to go out only after he brought three guards with him.
When she arrived at Zhao Yun's mansion, she happened to run into Chengfeng who was instructing the guards in the mansion.
The other person's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw her, and he quickly came to greet her, "Miss Shen, why are you here? Are you here to look for the prince or are you passing by here? If you are passing by here, why not go and see the prince first?"
Listening to Chengfeng's words that sounded like a scam, Chen Shuwei kept smiling and said, "I came to see Zhao Yun. I have something to say to him."
Chengfeng's eyes became brighter, and he stared at Chen Shuwei so hard that they almost glowed green.
The prince has been sorting out the treasures in the warehouse these days, and has also sent a message to Liangzhou, asking them to collect the gold and silver treasures in Liangzhou and pick out some of the best ones to send to Luojing, including silks, satins, hairpins, rings and bracelets that girls like.
In addition, the mansion also invited several famous Taoists to calculate the days in the mansion all day long.
Chengfeng's mind raced, thinking that the prince's move must mean that he was going to propose to Miss Shen!
The others in the mansion were still dumbfounded, not understanding what was going on. Only the wise and extraordinary Chengfeng saw through it all. If he could please Miss Shen before the others, he would be the future mistress's confidant! What could Xunxiao do to compete with him!
Thinking of this, Chengfeng became even more eager for Shen Shuwei, and he wanted to lift the hem of his clothes and wipe the entire road that Shen Shuwei was about to pass.
Chen Shuwei looked normal, occasionally chatting and laughing with Chengfeng. However, the guards following behind her followed closely, wary of Chengfeng's actions, their hands on the hilts of their swords.
When they arrived at the inner gate, Chengfeng pulled over a cleaning boy and asked where the prince was.
The servant replied haltingly that the prince was in the study.
study?
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Cheng Feng. "Since he's in the study, I won't disturb him. Ask someone to tell him that I'm waiting for him in the main hall."
The study was a confidential place, and she didn't want to step into it.
After drinking half a cup of tea in the main hall, and even before the snacks were served, the servant who had stumbled in earlier came in and bowed to Chen Shuwei. "Ms. Chen...Ms. Chen, the...the prince would...please go to the study to talk."
Although a hint of surprise flashed through Chen Shuwei's mind when he heard the voice, he kept it secret. He put down his cup and stood up, "I understand. Lead the way."
The servant suddenly turned around, walked quickly through the corridor and headed in one direction. Chen Shuwei asked the three guards to stay here and followed alone.
"We're...we're here." The servant led Chen Shuwei to stop in front of a tightly closed door.
Looking at the tightly closed door of Shen Shuwei, who showed no sign of opening it, "?"
However, after the servant brought the person here, he left in a hurry.
Shen Shuwei stared at the door for a moment, then curled up his hand and knocked tentatively.
"Squeak." Before Shen Shuwei's hand touched the door panel, the door opened unexpectedly, and a strong force pulled her wrist and pushed her forward.
Chen Shuwei threw himself into a soft embrace, and a low, hoarse laugh came from above.
"The young lady is so enthusiastic. She threw herself into my arms right after we arrived."
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes and pushed the person away. "Since you knew I was outside, why didn't you open the door?"
"If I open the door, won't I be able to see the young lady's passionate side?" Zhao Yun curled the thin and sparse hair with his fingertips and spoke teasingly.
Chen Shuwei raised her eyelids and glanced at him, then sat down on an embroidered cushion in the corner of the study. Zhao Yun followed her, stepping on her shadow, and sat down on the adjacent chair.
"Chengfeng said that the young lady came to see me specially, but was it to discuss our marriage?" He bit the end of his tone, and his words were gentle and affectionate, like a small hook, drilling straight into Chen Shuwei's heart.
Chen Shuwei looked back at him calmly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I came to you because of Jiang Heng."
Hearing the name Jiang Heng, Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows, his face as gentle as ever, "Then I am truly disappointed."
Shen Shuwei ignored his sarcastic tone and said bluntly, "Two days ago, Sun Mingzong died in the suburbs of Beijing. The friend who went out with him was captured by Jiang Heng's men. I came here to ask you about this matter."
Zhao Yun relaxed his posture upon hearing the voice, and leaned lazily against the back of the chair behind him, staring at Shen Shuwei with a pair of phoenix eyes smiling, "There is no free benefit in the world. If you want to know about this matter, should you give something in exchange, Ayuan?"
Shen Shuwei stood up and walked closer, looking down at him, feeling puzzled.
Why do these two simple characters, when spoken from his mouth, have a lingering and sad feeling that is different from that of others?
But she didn't hesitate for long, she bent down, her lips brushed against his cheek, and left immediately, as light as a feather falling on his face.
"Okay, tell me quickly." Chen Shuwei stood up and fixed her skirt.
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows, and suddenly put his arms around her waist from behind, forcing her waist to sink, with most of her body leaning into his arms.
The moment his lips were touched, Shen Shuwei heard Zhao Yun's low, hoarse laughter, "This is the reward."
Chen Shuwei said nothing, and slowly stood up, leaning on the armrests on both sides of Zhao Yun. "You can tell me now."
Although Zhao Yun was dissatisfied with Shen Shuwei's constant questioning about Jiang Heng, he still kept his promise and told him what had happened to Jiang Heng in the past two days.
"The day after Jiang Heng brought the man back, he had him taken to the Dali Temple, along with a confession of guilt."
Shen Shuwei was a little shocked. Jiang Heng was really brave.
"I don't know what method Jiang Heng used to interrogate that man, but as soon as he entered the Dali Temple, he confessed to killing Sun Mingzong. He also shouted that it was Xiao Chengping and Concubine Rou who forced him to do so, and that if he didn't do so, his official career would be ruined." Zhao Yun continued.
If Shen Shuwei paid attention at this moment, she would find that Zhao Yun's eyes were always fixed on her face.
But she was only concerned about Jiang Heng's affairs and didn't worry about it.
"What happened next? I asked my eldest and second brothers about this matter, but they didn't tell me much." Shen Shuwei raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yun and asked.
Zhao Yun's gaze unexpectedly met hers, and after a moment's pause, he slightly turned his head away. "Then, of course, His Majesty was furious. Xiao Chengping and Concubine Rou were detained for questioning."
"Your Majesty prides himself on his saintly virtue, so how could he allow an unloved son to slap him in the face?" Zhao Yun chuckled. "But I wonder if Your Majesty's body can withstand these consecutive blows."
Shen Shuwei looked at Zhao Yun, and she seemed to hear a hint of mockery in Zhao Yun's words.
"What's wrong? Didn't our Ah Yuan want to hear about Jiang Heng?" Zhao Yun gently stroked her slightly frowned brow with his right hand and said with a smile, "Why are you frowning?"
