Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 23

“Shen Qi entered the palace with a pure body at the age of thirteen. His performance in the previous years was not outstanding. He was transferred to the Superintendent of Rites three years later and was rumored to be paired with a palace lady.”

When talking about this, Yue Yao looked at Xiao Changning worriedly, “Do you know about this?”

It was midwinter at this time, the weather was gloomy, and the cold wind was bitter. The sloping corrugated corrugated branches seemed to be condensed with a layer of frost. Slowly, this layer of frost also slipped into Xiao Changning’s eyes. She seemed to **** the cold wind, suddenly choked, rubbed the tip of her nose with her hand unconsciously, and said: “Now I know… Sister Yue, you continue to say.”

Yueyao’s lips lightly opened, and originally wanted to persuade Changning to look away and not to sink too deep, but Xiao Changning was smart since he was a child, but just pretended to be confused. The words of persuasion reached the lips, and Yue Yao swallowed them back.

She couldn’t intervene in the stories of others.

“Shen Qi spent less than a year in the Superintendent of Li, and served the first emperor out of the city in Qiushou. He didn’t know what he had committed there. After he returned, he was punished by the **** with the whipping and demoted to His Royal Highness’s Xibi Palace.”

“I already know about this. Can Sister Yue find out what happened to him back then?”

“The palm-print **** that year died early, and there is no way to verify it. However, it is said that after returning from Qiu Shou, Shen Qi’s personality has changed drastically, as if he had changed his personality, becoming mysterious and unpredictable.”

Yueyao frowned and was obviously puzzled about the matter. “He used to be a low-key person, but after going to the Dongchang factory, he was like a fish in the water. Under the guidance of the predecessor, he has made great progress in martial arts and changed his name to’Shen Xu’. In less than two years, he became the mainstay of the East Factory, and the heads of Fanzi represented by Lin Huan and Fang Wujing were gathered from everywhere. After another two years, after supervising the death of illness, Shen Xuan took over the East Factory and became more and more arrogant. Surrender, Dongchang has reached an unprecedented peak in his hands.”

“Then, what about the maid who eats the food?” Xiao Changning suddenly interrupted Yue Yao’s thoughts and asked in a low voice.

“After Shen Xuan went to the East Factory, there were no more women by her side. The lady of the court was missing and probably broke off. After all, Shen Xu was ambitious and sat at that height, naturally disdainful of the favor of a lady of the court.”

Xiao Changning breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: Fortunately, no matter what he once was, at least she is the only one beside him now…

However, this weird comfort only showed signs of being stubbed out by her. She slapped herself in her heart and cursed: Xiao Changning, what are you thinking about? If Shen Xuan has ever had a confrontation, it is that he always abandons, you can guarantee that in the future, you will not repeat the same mistakes and be abandoned by him like that palace lady?

“By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing the minister must tell you.” Yue Yao was upright and did not see the entanglement in Chang Ning’s heart. She only took her hand and whispered in her ear, “Next month. At the end of the year, the temple worships the ancestors, does your Highness know?”

“The usual practice in previous years, I know it naturally.”

“On the day of worshipping the ancestors, Jinyiwei cleared the way, and the East Factory escorted them. The two camps were tit-for-tat… The minister hoped that His Highness said that he was sick at home, so don’t go to the scene.”

“Why?”

It was only for a brief moment that a bright light flashed in her mind, and her pupils shrank slightly, and said: “The ancestor worship is the trap set by the queen mother and Jin Yiwei, in order to deal with the Dongchang?”

Yue Yao said: “The minister is not very clear about the specific internal situation. Changning, you know that my Beizhen Fusi has always been neutral and never participated in party disputes. The defense of Huo Daren’s actions is the highest secret, and I can’t see it. “

Xiao Changning nodded, and his heart beat, always feeling that something was wrong.

For a moment, her eyes moved, and she asked: “Since it’s confidential, how did Sister Yue learn about the news?”

Yue Yao leaned against the corner with her arms folded, and solemnly said: “Just now the queen mother summoned me and suddenly sent me to the Kaifeng Mansion for investigation, and specifically asked me not to leave my post without permission no matter what the capital is doing. For this reason, I will No matter how stupid it is, I should have guessed it.”

“No.” Xiao Changning suddenly said.

Yue Yao wondered: “What’s wrong?”

“The Queen Mother knows that you have a close relationship with this palace, so how can you let out the wind in front of you? Isn’t it afraid that I will participate in it and defeat her?” Xiao Changning put the cold fingertips into the fine fluffy rabbit fur. In her sleeves, she exhaled a cold breath, “She knows that she does this, and she has only one purpose: to use your mouth to test the palace.”

Yue Yao still didn’t understand, she blinked her eyes and asked, “What to test for?”

“To test whether this palace will inform Shen Xuan, it is also to test whether I am standing in a party with the queen mother, or a party with castrates.” Our palace reported a letter to Shen Xuan, and she was murderous, and would eradicate this palace together with the Dongchang factory.”

“His Royal Highness must not say to Shen Xuan, just pretend you don’t know!” Yue Yao said anxiously, “If I go to Kaifeng Mansion, I won’t be able to protect you! Also, the emperor and you are the same compatriots. If you stop on the wrong team, the emperor will be implicated!”

“You don’t have to worry about the emperor. The Queen Mother still needs him. There will be no life worry for the time being. It’s just this palace…”

Dilemma, hard to get off. Xiao Changning was upset, suddenly turned around and said, “My palace is going back!”

“Hold on, Changning!” Yue Yao stopped Xiao Changning uneasy, and exhorted, “It’s important, you have to think clearly before making a decision!”

Xiao Changning nodded. Yue Yao said again: “I leave the guards in the palace for you to send. Although there are not many people, it is enough for emergency.”

“No, Sister Yue’s men and horses should stay with the emperor.” Seeing Yueyao’s expression on her face, Xiao Changning smiled, with a firm light shining in her tender eyes, and whispered softly, “Don’t worry, Yueyao After the death of the mother and concubine, the palace has survived for so many years, and this time it can turn a good luck.”

“You…” Yue Yao wanted to say something, but after a thousand words came to her lips, she turned into a soft sigh, “Be careful, if necessary, the minister will die!”

Xiao Changning rushed back to the East Factory full of thoughts, only half an hour had passed since the agreed time.

Seeing the door across the courtyard closed tightly, Shen Xuan was not in the room.

At this hour, maybe training a fan on the school ground?

There are people coming and going on the school grounds, and the fans are eager to dance with knives and clubs, and from time to time they shout out a sharp and feminine slogan. At this moment, the cloud and ink drooped down, and his field of vision seemed to have become vast and boundless.

Xiao Changning was overjoyed, and the hanging heart had a goal, and he immediately moved towards him.

But after two steps, her slightly settled heart suddenly lifted, and her footsteps slowly stopped.

Her gaze was fixed on the corner opposite Shen Xuan. There was a cluster of beautiful red plums growing there. At this time, the blooming period was strong, and through the spots of red fragrance, a woman’s graceful appearance could be vaguely seen.

She was a young court lady, but her face was hidden by the flowers and she couldn’t really see it.

For some reason, Xiao Changning suddenly remembered the name of the “opposite food” mentioned by Xiao Huangshang and Yue Yao, and an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart, and he was panicked.

Being stunned, Shen Xuan’s conversation with the woman seemed to come to an end. She saw the majestic Admiral Shen suddenly stood up straight, bowed her hands to the court lady, with the utmost respect, and the court lady also bowed her knees and replied with a big gift.

This attitude of Shen Xuan made Xiao Changning firmer in his guess.

She intuitively felt that she should leave silently, but her feet seemed to have taken root and could not move a bit.

When he came back to his senses, the figure behind the plum tree had long since disappeared, only the breeze shook the tree and turned red.

Shen Xuan turned around and saw Xiao Changning. There seemed to be an imperceptible bright color in her calm and deep eyes. He walked two steps towards her and called out: “Your Royal Highness Princess…”

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Changning suddenly woke up, backed a few steps, turned around and ran away, as if Shen Xuan was a scourge, avoiding it.
