A Lady’s Tranquility - Chapter 221

“Your Highness, general Yan has made an account with Shaoshi. Although the war has stopped, Xinzhou City may not be so peaceful. If you want to go out and walk around, your subordinates should inform the guards to accompany you. Please forgive me

The soldiers at the gate of the courtyard bow and kneel in front of Shen Zhiyi, a little frightened.

Shen Zhi clothes hands folded in front of the body, eyes fell on him, and slowly moved to the door, after all slowly back step, suddenly did not want to go out of the interest, do not want to embarrass soldiers, just a faint smile at him, said: “yes, the sky will be late, there is nothing to see outside. I’m not going out. Get up. ”

The soldier was suspicious and did not dare to get up.

Shen Zhi Yi sighed a little in the bottom of her heart. She knew that if she didn’t go back to her room, she was afraid that he would continue to kneel. She didn’t say anything more and turned to go back.

Just did not expect, square to veranda corridor, a voice unexpectedly from outside the door.

“Minister Zhou Yinzhi, come to pay homage to the princess.”

Shen Zhi clothes step suddenly a stop, eyebrow all because of accident and Cu a Cu, turn a head to see, really is Zhou Yinzhi.

The other party came in through the door.

Soldiers can’t stop him.

Shen Zhiyi and Zhou Yinzhi almost have no intersection, the only contact or fear is that this person came to the border at the order of her brother Shen Lang. But when she was married, she could see clearly. No matter how noble her status was, she was just a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time. The imperial court did not care about her life or death, and Zhou Yinzhi just gave her a gift at the celebration banquet on New Year’s Eve.

What did he come for at this time?

She looked at each other and said, “we don’t have a good relationship with Mr. Zhou, so it’s not worth your coming. But what’s the matter? ”

Zhou Yinzhi knew that this Royal Princess was a former abandoned son of the imperial court, but the abandoned son still had a special value when he was still there.

He was ordered by Shen Lang when he came.

At this moment, although Shen Zhiyi was aware of his vigilance and indifference, he didn’t mind. Instead, he came near and bowed his head and said: “although I have no contact with your highness, I have been ordered to come to Xinzhou to pass the imperial edict on the one hand and to take him back to Beijing on the other. Earlier, I heard that his highness was weak, and the little prince needed to be cultivated, so it was not easy to leave. I wonder if you have any plans to leave for Beijing in the near future? ”

Shen Zhiyi is silent.

But Zhou Yinzhi said with a smile, “you are the supreme Princess of the Empire. Naturally, you want to go where you want to go. Now you have no plan to go back to the capital. It’s just that you should turn around and tell the Lord. But the capital is a long way away. The emperor, the empress dowager, and his Royal Highness the king of Linzi are very concerned about you. When the minister came from the capital, he met his Royal Highness the king of Linzi and wrote a special letter to him

The princess of the Empire, who has the highest ability, can go wherever she wants.

Shen Zhi Yi faintly felt that this word meant something.

She looked at the letter Zhou Yinzhi took out of her sleeve, but she didn’t reach for it for a moment.

With Shen’s good nature, it is possible to write to her.

However, Shen Lang was by no means a benevolent monarch.

If it was really a letter sent by Shen Yao, Zhou Yinzhi, a shrewd person who pursues advantages and avoids disadvantages, would never have presented it to her so easily. Either the letter has been read, or

This letter is not from Shen Xuan at all!

Zhou Yinzhi saw that she didn’t receive it, and he didn’t take it back. He just kept the attitude of presenting it.

After a long time, Shen Zhi reached for her clothes.

A thin letter was handed to her.

Zhou Yinzhi looked at her, laughed and said, “the emperor also misses his highness. He is very happy to know that his highness is safe and sound. When he returns to the capital one day, he will clear the dust for his highness. ”

Shen Zhiyi looks at the envelope and doesn’t answer him.

Zhou Yinzhi knew that he was not likable in today’s Xinzhou, and he didn’t say much. He bowed himself and then retired.

He went out of the hospital.

Several soldiers were still standing on both sides of the gate.

Shen Zhiyi stood in the corridor for a long time, looking at the sky gradually darkening overhead, and realized that the sadness of the old days had not dissipated due to the sufferings of the past two years, but had changed her appearance and still lingered in her mind.

Man is the butcher, I am the fish.

In the palace, in Tatar, even in Xinzhou City and general’s residence

The weak are chess after all.

*

what is the situation in Xinzhou City? Zhou Yinzhi has already found out quite clearly. At this time, he can’t help lamenting Shen Lang’s farsightedness and imperial mind. If the imperial court does not pay attention to Xinzhou, Yan Lin will fight against it in the future. But if you send him here, you can not only make the rebels an army, but also put them in a dilemma –

no matter whether they return to the capital or not, they will fall into a passive position.

If she wants to return to the capital, she must go alone. If she doesn’t return to the capital, Shen Zhiyi is a princess anyway. How can she really let her move freely?

I just came all the way and didn’t dare to open the letter.He touched it several times in secret, and obviously felt that there was a small hard object. I’m afraid it was more than just a page.

Zhou Yinzhi thought that his goal of coming to Xinzhou had almost been achieved, except for one thing

I don’t know why, but I feel uneasy when I think of it.

He walked forward with his negative hand. Just after the corner, he saw a figure coming in front of him. Pretty and quiet, with several books in his hand, he walked with his lips moving and fingers pinching, as if he were something.

Zhou Yinzhi stopped and said, “miss you, it’s a coincidence that I met you again.”

You Fang Yin a Zheng, this just saw him.

She stopped, but she didn’t get too close. After all, the two girls mentioned earlier that this person should be on guard. She should keep away from him, so she only said, “I’ve met Mr. Zhou.”

Zhou Yinzhi took a look at the account book in her hand and said, “looking at the busy work at the gate of the mansion these days, it seems that your boss also bought a lot of things. Is it that you are leaving for Sichuan soon? I can’t imagine that two years later, everyone has changed. When Zhou was looking for the account book for you girl in prison, he didn’t expect her to be so powerful in the future. It’s hard to judge her appearance. ”

In those days, Zhou Yinzhi did take care of him.

You Fang Yin is pure and kind-hearted, but she doesn’t like to treat him coldly. She calms down a little and says with a smile, “it’s just a small business like tea and cloth. Xinzhou is not rich in products, so it’s not a big business.”

Zhou Yin just took the opportunity to exchange greetings, but when he heard the word “tea”, he suddenly remembered that day, Jiang Xuening talked with him about how yaoniang made tea.

That day, the other side’s look, always let him feel wrong.

At this time, his eyes flashed slightly, but he turned to you Fang and said: “many of the tea I drink in the capital is transported from the chamber of commerce where you is the president. How can it be regarded as a small business? It’s said that some teas are better than those in the palace. ”

At the mention of the palace, you Fangyin didn’t dare to accept it at will. For fear of disaster, he quickly said, “you’re joking. The best tea is to pay tribute first. Even businessmen like me have to wait for the time for the state capitals to pay tribute before they talk to tea farmers. Sometimes, when people from the state capital come late, they are waiting for them to pick out the top batch of tea first, and they dare not intrude. ”

At that moment, Zhou Yinzhi’s eyes twitched slightly.

It’s time for the States to pay tribute

At last, he remembered what was on the upper floor of the city gate that day that made him upset all day long –

it was he who revealed his flaws!

Zhou Yinzhi’s heart sank.

You Fangyin didn’t realize it. She said in a soft voice, “this time Xinzhou is too busy to spare time. If you go to the capital one day, you will visit. Thank you again for your kindness.”

With that, she would walk forward.

Today, when she bought tea, she said goodbye to many local girls

You Fang chanted and turned to say, “that’s good.”

Zhou Yinzhi laughed, as if a little more embarrassed, and said: “I’m a big old man, I don’t know tea. However, one of my concubines was a good tea drinker. In her early years, she was also a tea farmer and had a lonely life. I will leave the border town to return to Beijing in the next few days. Now I have an invitation. The tea you picked must be excellent. I don’t know if you can give me some advice. I’ll take some back and let her taste it. ”

You Fangyin was slightly stunned.

Zhou Yinzhao said, “I’ll pay the price. But if you don’t have time, forget it. I’ll ask someone else. ”

After all, he was modest and mentioned the concubine.

Although you Fangyin didn’t know who he was, he felt a little softer when he thought that Zhou Yinzhi had saved himself in the past and had come all the way to Xinzhou to remember his family. Thinking that this was not a big deal, he nodded and said, “it’s better to do it. It’s just that the tea at the border is a little rough. I’m afraid it doesn’t suit her taste. When I put down the account book, Mr. Zhou will come with me to get it. ”

Zhou Yinzhi then said thanks.

You Fangyin walked ahead, and he followed.

Only when the other party turned around, Zhou Yin’s face was covered with a layer of shadow. After hesitation, he finally turned into a cruel color: the flaw had been revealed, and there was no choice for him in the current situation. If you don’t do it, you’ll never stop, or you may be able to seek wealth in danger!

after dinner, Jiang Xuening finished washing and was ready to loose her hair and go to sleep.

But I didn’t think that someone came at night.

It was the sword book that was outside. I could hear that the voice was not gentle enough, and it was dignified: “Miss Ning Er, the person who sent out to inquire about the news a few days ago has sent back the urgent message. Zhou Yinzhi entered Guanzhong in late December, but he didn’t come from the official road in the capital. On the way, someone saw that he was turning the road from the southwest of Sichuan. Maybe he went to the central part of Sichuan from the capital first, and then came to Xinzhou! ”

Jiang Xuening stick ebony comb fingers a stiff, almost instantly feel a chill from the spine ran up.When the heart turns suddenly, I feel bad.

What did Zhou Yinzhi do in Shu?

The comb path directly patted back the dowry, and her mind flashed. An ominous premonition rose up, which made her suddenly get up, open the door, go directly over the sword book, and quickly walk towards the courtyard where you Fangyin lived. She only said: “find someone to inform Ren Weizhi, and ask them to wait for you before Dao Qin catches Zhou Yinzhi!”

The sword book didn’t dare to disobey. When she came out of the courtyard, she immediately ordered her to go down.

Jiang Xuening did not dare to stop at all.

The closer to you Fangyin’s residence, the more intense her heart beat. Seeing the lanterns hanging on the porch from a distance, she felt her eyes shaking. However, when she stepped into the gate, her steps stopped suddenly.

In the dark courtyard, there was a faint smell of bleeding.

As soon as Dao Qin came out of the door, she seemed to rush out to find someone, but suddenly stopped and stood by the door. There was a bloodstain on his cheek, and he was still holding the blade tightly in his hand, almost with a kind of panic.

He saw Jiang Xuening.

He opened his mouth and some of them didn’t dare to look at her directly. After a while, he said in an astringent voice: “Miss Ning er…”

At this moment, Jiang Xuening’s head was humming. He felt that his head was heavy and his feet were light. He could not stand steadily.

The dim light was shining.

In the wide open door, the bright red bloodstain accumulates, flows out slowly along the crevice of the ground, converges at the threshold, and leaches a dark color.

“Fang Yin! Fang Yin… “
