Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 179
Not long after Shen Xi returned to the mansion, Shen Ruopu came back.

At that time, she was still deeply trapped in Xiao Huai's "beautiful" and couldn't extricate herself from it. good?
In what state of mind did he say this word?She couldn't figure it out at all, or maybe, she didn't figure it out through him in the first place?
When she frowned and pondered over it, Pearl said that someone from Wanrongtang had invited her over.

She quickly took the fan and went to Shen Ruopu's study.

"The old man came back early today."

What she was most proud of was being obedient. Seeing his tired face and dull eyes, she quickly took the tea from the servant girl and brought it to him.

Shen Ruopu sat in the armchair, and said in a long voice, "I was promoted to the official position thanks to your blessing, and the emperor issued another decree to let me recuperate for half a month before returning to the court."

He took a sip of tea, looked at her again, and said, "Don't be sloppy with me! Tell me, what's going on? How did you know in advance?!"

Originally, he should have asked her yesterday, but unfortunately he never found the opportunity.

She can't fool her now!
"Actually, I also heard about this matter accidentally."

Shen Xi said without changing his expression: "I was wandering around in the palace at that time, and I came across a few guards of Prince Yan's residence, and overheard them talking about assassination, which probably meant that the emperor might be in danger.

"So I asked Sister Yan to deliver a message to you."

"The guard of King Yan's Mansion?!" Shen Ruopu couldn't hide his shock, and stared at him: "You mean the son of King Yan—"

Xiao Huai was the commander-in-chief of Prince Yan's residence yesterday, so he must know what the guards of the palace knew!Since he knew that someone was assassinated, how could he not stick to the emperor's side?
And he happened to be gone at that time, so could this assassination be——

"The old lady has lost her mind."

Shen Xi said seriously, she turned her head and glanced outside the door, then got up and closed the door first, then walked back and said: "This matter is indeed a setup that has been set up long ago, in order for people to take away the merit of rescue.

"It's just that this person is not from the Yan Palace, but someone else."

Hearing this, Shen Ruopu was frightened away from the tiredness all over his body. He sat up straight and thought carefully with his years of keenness in the Ministry of Punishment!
If it wasn't for Xiao Huai, who would have set up such a situation around the emperor?

Mrs. Bi didn't care about fame and fame for a long time, and he has no children, so it's impossible for him to make such an idea!

Except for Xiao Huai who knew him, there was only Han Dun left, and Han Dun happened to be staying beside the little emperor when the incident happened——

If he didn't get the message from Shen Xi, then Han Dun must have got the credit, so it seems that he was the one who set up the trap? !

"This is impossible. Although he is the chief assistant, he is not so bold!" He said decisively.

After all, it is inside the palace, he can do whatever he wants outside the palace, but inside the palace is the emperor's territory, how can he be so capable to organize such a game?

unless--

There was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and even his eyes lit up!
It is well known that Han Dun was appointed as the Chief Assistant by the Empress Dowager Zheng.So what if there is a queen mother operating secretly?
His heart trembled, and when he looked at Shen Xi again, he felt more and more that the official title was dangling on his head.

"I think the old man understands?" Shen Xi said observing his expression.

I understand that I understand, but how can he answer the words?
It was Han Dun who was responsible for rescuing him, but he intercepted him first. Why don't the Empress Dowager and Han Dun hate him to death? !

He raised his hands to wipe off his sweat, and looked at her with squinting eyes: "Grind the ink for me! I want to write a booklet, please remove the title of Doctor Feng!"

"Wait a minute, old man." Shen Xi stretched out his hand to hold his arm, "This matter can't be messed up.

"This is clearly an honor bestowed by the Empress Dowager, if you ask yourself to remove it, wouldn't it be the same as telling the Empress Dowager that you have seen through all the tricks here?

"You have seen through this secret, can the queen mother reward you?"

Shen Ruopu paused after hearing the words.

makes sense!If Queen Mother Zheng and Han Dun did this together, she would definitely not want others to know.

Even Xiao Huai didn't reveal anything to the outside world, if he handed over the booklet, wouldn't Empress Dowager Zheng feel ashamed when she saw him in the future?That would be even more serious!
He took a deep breath and leaned back on the chair with frowned eyebrows.

Shen Xi said: "So right now we can only pretend to be confused.

"Not only can't play on the scriptures, but there's no need to be frightened.

"It's reasonable for you to save your wounded car and get a false title. If you don't even dare to accept this, if the Queen Mother knows, it's okay to take you as a crime of disrespect."

Shen Ruopu sighed, stroked his forehead and leaned on the table again.

Shen Xi paused for a moment, then said: "Right now, the Empress Dowager is afraid of Prince Yan's Mansion, she won't really do anything to you.

"Besides, you are able to protect the emperor Zhouquan this time, which at least shows our Shen family's loyalty to the imperial court. The queen mother is also a sensible person, how could she attack loyal ministers at this time?"

Hearing this, Shen Ruopu regained his energy. It makes sense to say that, the orphans and widows in the palace, it is too late to win people over, so why would they choose a loyal minister to vent their anger?
If she had been worried about it, Han Dun would not have let Shen Xi go on the school field yesterday, but would have used the problem to make her unable to get off the stage.

In this way, his heart became more at ease, he put his hands together and thought for a while, then waved his hands and said: "Okay, let's go back."

Shen Xi stood up, said yes loudly, and retreated outside the door.

Shen Ruopu called her back again, cleared her throat and said, "Sister Xin is married, it's time for you.

"You have an idea, and I won't force you. If there is someone who is interested in your aunt's proposal, please tell your aunt or me."

Although he accepted Xiao Huai's favor and promised him that he would not act impulsively at this moment, but Shen Xi had to marry after all, if she liked her, it couldn't be regarded as him acting impulsively?
Shen Xi paused, then nodded and said: "Success. If I like something, I will definitely tell the old man."

She didn't argue with him about marrying or not, anyway, she would never take a fancy to him, and he had nothing to do with her.

As soon as I finished talking here, Fu An happened to come over in a hurry, first glanced at her, gave her a salute, and then stepped into the door and said, "Master, someone from the Lin family is here."

"Which Lin family?" Shen Ruopu frowned.

"It's at the residence of Lord Lin Juntao, the Minister of Dali Temple."

Lin Fu?

Hearing this, Shen Xi also stopped.

It's no wonder that Shen Ruopu is inexplicable, Lin's residence and Shen's residence are constantly in contact, Ding is still Shen Xin's matchmaker, isn't it normal for people from Lin's residence to come?It's not worth mentioning so much.

Then I heard Fu An go on to say: "People from the Lin family are here to submit a post to propose a marriage. They propose to marry our second girl on behalf of Mr. Pei."

Propose marriage? !
There was a buzzing sound in Shen Xi's head!
Didn't Shen Yan say that Lin Pei will come to propose marriage only next year?Why is it different from what she said? !
