Chapter 139 Why can’t it be delivered?
Chen Wangshu was still unaware of his senior brother's desire to protect him. After he moved his body and found that he could still control it, and his original body completely disappeared without any movement, he washed and ate as usual, walked around the unfamiliar general's mansion, and familiarized himself with the new environment.
Not long after breakfast, a servant was sent from the Duke's Mansion to invite Shen Wangshu and Chen Hao to have lunch together in the main house. The elders were also very concerned about the two children of the orphan and widow, and always called them over to ask about their situation.
Seeing that it was almost time, Shen Wangshu packed up and prepared to leave.
The General's Mansion was not far from the Imperial Palace. As soon as one went out, one could see the long glazed tile roofs and majestic red walls of the Imperial City. As soon as the carriage left the alley, one could see the back wall of another wealthy mansion. Shen Wangshu looked for a long time but could not see the main gate. He lowered the curtain and asked, "Whose family is next to the General's Mansion?"
Bai Shu smiled and said, "It's Prince Ning's Mansion."
Oh, Prince Ning’s Mansion…wait, Prince Ning’s Mansion? !
The male protagonist’s house is right next door to them? Is it such a coincidence? ?
If the male protagonist is next door, then wouldn’t Shen Xihe be there too…if they open a moon door on the wall, the two sisters can meet each other often and loudly plot rebellion?
Shen Wangshuchang thought about this possibility, and finally shook her head, feeling that it was a bit far-fetched. She and Shen Xihe were willing, but their partners were not so willing. After all, both of them were very cautious. Without formally establishing an alliance, they had never met privately even though they lived next door.
But since we live so close, some things are indeed much more convenient.
Shen Wangshu thought so and said, “Let’s go.”
There is no rush to cooperate with the male and female protagonists. They have just returned to Beijing, and there are countless people watching them openly and secretly. Let's talk about it after some time.
......
When Shen Wangshu passed by Prince Ning's mansion in such a lively manner, Shen Xihe, who had not slept all night, was sitting in the house sulking.
"Not sent in? Why didn't it get in at such a close distance!" When they were alone, the golden butterfly mask on the beauty's face was taken off, revealing a face as bright as a lotus, and she was moving even in her anger.
Prince Ning sat beside her, leaning his head lazily to listen to the secret guard's reply: "To answer Madam, it's not that I'm not doing my best, it's just that the General's Mansion is surrounded by the Chen family army like an iron barrel. Not to mention sending a letter in, not even a fly can fly in!"
"Unless I take ruthless action to knock down all those guards, a head-on fight would cause too much noise and would not end well. That's why I have failed repeatedly..."
Chen Xihe had been tossing and turning all night last night, and Feng Jiuzhao didn't sleep much either. Now he had to cheer up and help people find a solution: "Don't worry, Aman. They just entered the capital yesterday. No matter who they are, they won't act so quickly. Besides, Nian Nian is smart. Maybe she has already thought of our relationship."
"Now we just need to be patient and not let those people over there get hold of us."
Shen Xihe drank two cups of tea before he calmed down: "You are right, this matter cannot be rushed..."
In the past six months, she has taken every step very carefully, as if treading on thin ice, never revealing any flaws or weaknesses in front of outsiders. However, matters concerning her sister always make her lose her mind.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it’s a good thing that the letter couldn’t be delivered. Even Feng Jiuzhao’s secret guards couldn’t do anything about it, which means Nian Nian is safe enough now.
I'll find another opportunity later...
"In two days, your mother will hold a winter banquet in the palace, inviting the ladies who have just arrived in Beijing to a small gathering. You can help her host the banquet, and then you two sisters will be able to meet openly." Feng Jiuzhao still has a solution.
Shen Xihe's eyes lit up: "Okay."
Her relationship with Concubine Li is now somewhat delicate. Concubine Li always puts her son first in everything. She can't do anything about her son's insistence on not getting married for so many years. She is even worried that her son might marry someone else. Now, she doesn't care whether he is Madam Zhaoyang or any other lady, as long as there is a woman in the backyard, it's fine.
In fact, at the beginning, Concubine Li looked down on this woman who didn't even take off her mask when she came to see her. Later, after getting along with her for a long time, she felt that although this woman was mysterious, there was nothing wrong with her character and etiquette. So she turned a blind eye and treated her as her own daughter-in-law and brought her up by her side.
After all, Concubine Li had a guilty conscience. Many years ago, her son and the daughter of the Yongning Marquis's mansion had a grudge against each other. She disrupted this marriage, and then the Shen family was confiscated and exterminated. She never saw the daughter of the Shen family again, and her son became depressed day by day...
Now that she sees him getting better little by little, Concubine Li naturally doesn't dare to do the same thing she did before. She just hopes her son is safe.
As for what happened in his backyard, Concubine Li didn't care at all.
So compared to a few years ago when Shen Xihe was still the legitimate daughter of Yongning Marquis Mansion, now that she has kept her identity secret and even her face is not revealed, she actually gets along more harmoniously and freely with Concubine Li.
Seeing that the depression on the beauty's face had finally subsided, Feng Jiuzhao also became happy: "Okay, you are not angry now, right? Can you let your husband hug you?"
There were still secret guards in the room. Chen Xihe glanced at the shameless man and said coldly, "Don't you have to go to court today? If you have nothing to do, you can go to sleep. I'm going to prepare the name card and a gift for Nian Nian."
You can do whatever you want, just don't bother her.
"......"
Feng Jiuzhao was helpless. What should he do if his wife was a career-oriented person? She is even busier every day than himself, the prince who is secretly plotting to usurp the throne. Neither of them is keen on doing that kind of thing, but they still have to have a proper married life, right? She doesn't either, always leaving herself alone in an empty room...
But what can he do? Whatever Ah Man said was the truth. She told him to get out, so Feng Jiuzhao could only humble himself and said, "Yes, sir."
Then get out of her way and don't get in her way.
After sending away the man who was in the way, Chen Xihe began to plan what to do on the day of the winter banquet. How to find an opportunity to meet Nian Nian alone, how to tell her about his current situation when he sees her, and how to ask her how she has been doing these days...
And how to proceed next.
Now that the royal family is in turmoil, although Feng Jiuzhao has tried his best to keep a low profile for so many years, he is still a living, safe and sound prince. While the crown prince and the fifth prince are fighting, it is hard to say when they will target them.
The water in the palace has already been muddied to such an extent that it might be better to make it more chaotic so that those people will have no time to pay attention to the General's Mansion.
A deep and calculating look flashed across Shen Xihe's clear eyes...Since she was by her side, she would never let her sister fall into any dangerous situation.
The prince and the queen have now panicked and made a huge mistake, and it will all be over soon.
soon.
