Chapter 33

As soon as they heard that Prince Liangdi was going to the palace to borrow money from the emperor, they suddenly became considerate. They all sympathized with His Highness the Prince's difficulties, expressed their gratitude to His Highness for his kindness, and stopped asking for money for the coffin.

Xu Lanjun saluted again and thanked everyone for their understanding, but did not say whether he would borrow the money or not, or whether he would return it or not...

She added: "As for the people who were imprisoned, the government has also tightened its grip and carefully wanted to find out the truth behind the assassination and give an explanation to the innocent people who were injured and killed..."
-
After some words of love and reason, the road that was blocked was finally loosened.

Xu Lanjun returned home and deliberately walked a little slower. Then he turned around and looked at Shen Yinggan who was also slowly following behind. A hint of disdainful sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"His Highness also asked me to give you a message: You are just a slave who takes money to do things. I treat you as a guest and treat you with some courtesy. After staying for a few days, you think you are taking yourself seriously... "

Shen Yinlu: "..."

Xu Lanjun's words were unpleasant. Lin Yan next to her couldn't stand it. And because of Xu Lanjun's identity, she didn't dare to do anything. She just muttered dissatisfied:

"Be kind as a dog's lungs."

Shen Yinlu pulled Lin Yan and asked him to stop talking.

Xu Lanjun was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with Lin Yan, so he walked proudly to the main bedroom with a few maids.

After she walked away, Du Encai, who was following behind her, said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never say those words, don't take them seriously..."

"Yes, I know." Shen Yinlu responded in a low voice.

She knew that His Highness the Crown Prince would not say those words.

What Xu Liangdi said makes sense.

She is just a slave with a salary, and even if His Highness the Crown Prince treats her differently, she cannot change her true nature as a slave.

The scene just now taught her a lesson, allowing her to realize more clearly that differences in origin and status can determine or influence many things...

"Ayan, Brother Duen, do you think I'm stupid?"

Shen Yinlu turned his head and asked suddenly.

"You're not stupid. There's a lot of little Jiujiu in your heart. How could you be stupid?" Lin Yan was the first to answer.

Shen Yinluo has been a clever girl since she was a child, and she has great ideas. All the friends in the neighborhood have been playing with her since she was a child...

Even he, who is two years older than her, has been trained to obey her since he was a child...

Shen Yinlu didn't believe the words of Lin Yan, a flatterer.

She looked at Doon——

Du En narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Shen Yinglu's eyes were fixed on him, he answered honestly:

"You're not stupid. When I first sent you home, you pulled me to watch you perform a disembowelment. I knew you were brave and resourceful."

"It's just..." Du En paused.

Shen Yinlu asked: "Just what?"

Duen: "Educated people are different from us after all. If we compare with them, we will become clever."

Just like just now, the conversation and behavior of the scholarly lady are always inferior to Shen Yinwen, who can only argue with others about right and wrong.

The status they are born with is a mountain that ordinary people like them can't reach or cross.

So they are slaves.

No matter how high your skills are, they are just taking people's money to serve others.

Shen Yinlu didn't say anything else, and walked forward full of depression.

As soon as Du En took a step forward to follow him, Lin Yan blocked him:

"If you say others are clever, then you don't even have this little cleverness and can't speak. No wonder you are just a little guard at the hospital!"

Du En frowned: "She wants to hear the truth, so I will tell the truth. What's wrong with that?"

"Girls need to be coaxed..." Lin Yan couldn't explain clearly to him, and didn't bother to talk, so she left him behind and was about to chase Shen Yinhang.

Du En looked at the backs of Shen Yinlu and Lin Yan one after another, with some deep thought in his eyes.Lin Yan only saw the unhappiness on Shen Yingu's face.

But when he saw Shen Yinlu, he was worried because his ability could not keep up with his ambition.

There is a kind of person who is always unwilling to settle for mediocrity and wants to leap to a different world.

Lin Yan would only follow, but one day, when he came to his senses, he would no longer be able to walk side by side with Shen Yinlu...
-
The fifth day after the Linanguan assassination.

The sixth prince Qi Xun was asked to be imprisoned.

I heard that it was the assassin who was caught stabbing the prince with a knife.

After investigation, it was found that he was one of a group of dead men raised privately by the Sixth Prince Qi Xun...

The sixth prince, Qi Xun, naturally denied the assassination of the prince.

Regardless of whether there is another hidden reason in this matter, the emperor is most taboo about the princes cultivating their own strength in private. This has already crossed the line.

So much so that under the wrath of Thunder, the sixth prince was ordered to be directly imprisoned.

When Shen Yinlu listened to the news that Du En had obtained from outside, his first question was:

"If things don't turn around, what will be the outcome of Your Highness's matter?"

Du En frowned, unable to speak, and did not dare to speak.

Next to him, Lin Yan bluntly speculated:

"What else can come of this? Assassinating the prince, isn't it said that the emperor is ruthless? Even if it is his own son, he will not be lenient!"

Shen Yinlu: "..."

In this case, whether it is death or any other punishment, won't His Highness the Sixth Prince have no chance of becoming the crown prince?

That history...

Or is there going to be another change in this matter?

She couldn't figure it out.

Forget it, just don’t think about it.

Anyway, the Heng Kingdom will perish, so it won’t be that important who becomes the prince!

She couldn't care about that much, and she didn't have the heart to care about that much.

"That's right." Du En suddenly remembered something: "I went to Juyuan Building to inquire. If you go to the auction, you need to pay a deposit to ensure that the lots can be displayed as scheduled that day..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yan interrupted urgently:

"There are so many things to do. If you want to get the results, what else do you have to pay as a deposit?"

How can they have that spare money now?
Du En answered: "It's okay if you don't hand it over, just put the glass beads in Juyuan Tower for safekeeping."

"That won't work." Lin Yan was not happy either. "Give them the beads and call them safekeeping. Who knows if they will change the contract or simply occupy them?"

"I think the one who robbed that night was the Juyuan Building! I didn't do it before I thought of this..."

Du En: "Either pay the money, hand over the beads, or directly sell it to Juyuan Tower for [-] gold, you choose one!"

"This..." Lin Yan was speechless.

It must be a lot of money to go to auction!
But I don’t have the money to pay the deposit, and I don’t want to give them the beads…

Shen Yinlu asked: "How much is the pledge?"

Duen: "100 taels of silver will be returned after a successful auction."

Shen Yinlu: "I'll think of a way..."

Lin Yan: "100 taels of silver, are you going to steal it?"

Shen Yingo rolled his eyes at him: "How come you are so dirty in your heart? With such a poor mouth, why don't you think carefully about who we earned 100 taels of silver from..."
