Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 35

[35. Chapter three and four]

Shen Xi picked up a folding fan, and was leaning on the right wall of the main hall to look at a newly hung “Spring Snow” when he saw Liu Chaoming walk in with a cold face.

He didn’t even talk to him, he went to the desk and made a cup of tea before asking, “What are you doing here?”

Shen Xi was displeased.

It’s fine if Zhu Nanxian loves him and ignores him, and Liu Yun also loves and ignores him.

After co-authoring him, he tossed back and forth all night, but he was no longer a person inside and out?

Shen Qingyue then said in a tone of voice: “Oh, I’m here to snatch Su Shiyu back to the palace for His Highness the Thirteenth.”

Liu Chaoming picked up the brewed tea, did not eat it, turned around and looked at him.

This is about serving tea to guests.

Shen Xi’s face was as thick as a city wall. Not only did he not leave, he also sat down on the chair of the Eight Immortals, and said lazily, “Why, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light the lamps? Lord Liu invited Jin Yiwei to lead the first army of the East Palace. Didn’t I, the ‘Prince|Party’, pierce you in front of His Royal Highness?”

After hearing this, Liu Chaoming put down the tea, sat beside Shen Xi’s left hand, and said leisurely, “Oh, what’s wrong with Lord Shen? Can you see that Jin Yiwei was recruited by this official?”

Shen Xi put his hand on his jaw and blinked: “I said it was intuition, is it true that Liu Yushi believes?” Liu

Chaoming glanced at him, and wrote lightly: “I believe, and this official still I believe that after guessing that the maid that Zhu Shisan took away was Su Jin, Shilang Shen took great pains to find a substitute, the purpose of which was only to help His Highness the Crown Prince pour the dirty water of His Royal Highness the Seven Kings, not to make way for himself. ”

Shen Xi was slightly taken aback.

Liu Chaoming’s remarks are in one sentence.

Indeed, he had already guessed that Zhu Nanxian had brought out the maid from the Ma Mansion, except for Su Jin.

Then there are only two possibilities, one is that Su Jin is a man disguised as a woman, and the other is that Su Jin is originally a woman.

If it is the first possibility, Su Jin has nothing to hide from others. Under the anger of the prince, she can tell what she saw in the Mafu and save her life.

If it is the second possibility, then she is the crime of deceiving the king, and Zhu Minda will definitely not tolerate her. In such a situation, I would first find a maid to help Su Jin pass by. If Su Jin is smart enough, he will use the topic to identify the officials and become a usable pawn in Zhu Minda’s hand. will save her life.

But no matter what kind of possibility, he, Shen Qingyue, didn’t have to personally identify the officials.

Shen Xi is indeed a prince | party, but this is mostly because of Shen Jing. Otherwise, with his ingenuity, he might not be able to stand on the sidelines like Liu Yun in the court where the kings are divided and the various forces are lined up.

In this turbulent flow, if you stand too early and too firm, it is almost equivalent to asking for death.

Last night, he was able to break the Mafu situation early. If he really wanted to wipe out the seven kings of Mafu, he could have the Yulinwei Pioneer surround Mafu first, so that a poisonous assassin would not be able to escape.

Taking a step back, even if someone runs away, he doesn’t need Su Jin to testify. As long as he has a bowl of tea, he can gather fake witness evidence, poison wine and blood knife, and then place them in front of Zeng Youliang to identify him one by one.

But he didn’t want to, he didn’t want to be this early bird.

So he asked Su Jin to come.

This is Shen Qingyue, and he must leave a way out for himself in everything.

Anyway, in his opinion, there is a gap here, a gap there, and the three caves of the cunning rabbits are gathered together, and it may become his shelter one day.

Even Zhu Minda didn’t understand his thoughts, he thought he was doing his best, but Liu Chaoming saw it through.

Shen Xi said “tsk tsk” twice, shook his head and said, “Liu Yun, do you know what I hate most about you? You usually put on a high-level dress and pretend to be unpredictable. I hate you the most.

Liu Chaoming said indifferently: “Mr. Shen has a hundred calculations with each other, which makes Liu’s heart even more broken.”

Shen Xi approached and said, “Let me guess, why is Master Liu’s hostility so heavy today?” Then he put the folding fan in his palm. As soon as he knocked, he suddenly said, “Oh, but because I pushed Su Shiyu to the top of the limelight?” He leaned back on the chair, raised his fan and pointed at Jiangshan, “You don’t even think about her status, sooner or later. If you have to wade through a sea of swords and flames, it wasn’t me last night, or she wasn’t smart enough, maybe she’s already dead.” Although the

words were true, they didn’t sound in the ears.

Liu Chaoming turned to look at him, and suddenly said: “Shen Shilang is so impetuous today, did His Royal Highness order you to kill again?”

Shen Xi’s indifferent expression suddenly became sharp after hearing this sentence, and he smiled. He said: “Liu Yushi is so arrogant, doesn’t he have blood on his hands?” He stood up with his hands behind him and sneered, “Everyone is not clean, don’t talk about anyone.”

Liu Chaoming calmly said: “It is , Shen Shilang is strategizing freely in the tent, and the affairs of the Duchayuan are more than a thousand miles away, so the Shilang doesn’t have to worry about it.”

Shen Xi turned around, his eyes suddenly turned: “Liu Yushi said very much, the emperor has an emperor. The art of checks and balances, I and other officials should also have their own way of survival, right?” After the

two reached an agreement, Liu Chaoming asked, “Tell me, what are you doing?”

Shen Xi put his hands behind him and looked towards Tang Xia Guang scorched outside, and said silently: “Yan Ziyan is dying, he said he wanted to see Su Jin.”

Liu Chaoming was stunned: “I still can’t delay it for a few more days?”

Shen Xi laughed mockingly: “Your Majesty What kind of temperament, how can you and I not know? This time, the grace of two days is already a great kindness.”

Liu Chaoming nodded: “Sorry.”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly. He walked to the front of the hall, stared at the grass and trees immersed in the sun, and said lazily, “What is there to be sad about? We grew up together, and many of the people who studied in Hanlin together, Yan Zi. Yan is not the first to encounter this kind of thing. Every time I try my best to beg for mercy, which one really saves people? I just didn’t expect that the people next to me were either wronged or really went wrong. He’s always been the most arrogant, but he’s going to die in the end.”

His words were so dejected, Liu Chaoming couldn’t help but look up at him.

He went to school in Hanlin when he was a child. Shen Xi was the youngest, but he was extremely smart, and was quite liked by Mrs. Yan, so Yan Ziyan was jealous of him since he was a child.

Shen Qingyue has a temper of “If you hate me, then I will be mad at you”. The two fought back and forth from childhood to adulthood, and they rolled from the mud to the court. Shen Xi went east, Yan Ziyan went west. , Yan Ziyan was right, but Shen Xi was wrong.

Outsiders always thought that the two of them had formed a feud.

Until the North-South case happened.

After Mrs. Yan was appointed to the office, he only left a false title. The two elder brothers of the Yan family knew that the sage was authoritative, and they did not believe it after they each got this book.

Unexpectedly, it was Shen Qingyue who ran for Yan Ziyan in the end.

Even the leg injury that was discounted has not healed.

Liu Chaoming asked, “What time is the execution?”

Shen Xi said, “Tomorrow morning, at Midday Gate.”

Liu Chaoming said, “Wait, Su Shiyu just fell asleep.”
