Chapter 281 Make a Deal (Longji Xiao Xianxian +3)

The little emperor has a half-grown foal. He has been learning how to ride a horse intermittently for half a year, but because the Empress Dowager Zheng is worried, he can't let go of his hands and feet to practice, so he still can only stroll around in the Meridian Gate.

When Xiao Huai asked the guards to lead him around, Han Dun came over.

"I heard that the prince has been in the camps a lot recently. I wonder how the soldiers in the camps are doing?"

Xiao Huai lazily squinted his eyes around the horsewhip: "I don't see that Mr. Han Ge is also interested in the soldiers of the camp."

Han Dun looked at the little emperor who was turning around in the distance, and said: "The reason why Han pays attention to the soldiers of the camp is because there happens to be a vacancy for a doctor in the Ministry of War."

Xiao Huai looked over.

Han Dun also looked at him, and changed his clasped hands to his back: "Miss Shen is just waiting to marry into the palace and become the crown prince.

"But I don't know if the son has ever thought about it, Shen Shilang's eldest son and three sons are all outside the capital, and now the Shen family has only Shen Shilang as the leader.

"If the Shen family doesn't get up, will the Crown Princess be able to stand up straight in the future?

"In other words, even though Shen Shilang can still do something, after all, his grandchildren are still young.

"If there is no one in the middle to take over, the Shen family will have to face a situation where there is no one to take over.

"The Xiao family and the Han family have their own merits in terms of civil and martial arts. I wonder if the son has any intention to make a deal with Han?"

Xiao Huai stared straight ahead without moving.

After a long while, he threw the whip to Su Yan, and sat down on the teacher's chair set up under the tree.

"What's your opinion, Elder Han Ge?"

Han Dun took the tea handed by the eunuch first, then walked to the other side to sit down, and said: "I heard that several sons of the Shen family are studying, but their qualifications are uneven.

"Shen Chongyi was eager to return to Beijing to take up a post because of this, but he searched all over the world to no avail.

"If the prince can make the big things of the past few days into small things, or even make them into nothing, I will be able to deliver the appointment order of the Lang Zhong from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow."

Xiao Huai didn't speak.

This condition is quite attractive.

Although there are only five ranks among the six doctors, it is not an idle position.

Shen Chongyi has not yet reached the fifth rank, if he can make up for this deficiency, then not only will he return to Beijing, but he will also be promoted.

Shen Ruopu has Shen Chongyi as his left and right hands, so he is naturally more comfortable in court.

Leaving aside Mrs. Bi, who didn't have much to do with government affairs, Han Dun was the head of the civil servants. Although Yan Wang's mansion was extremely powerful, there was really a limit to what they could do with the affairs of the Six Departments.

If he didn't nod his head, the job vacancy would easily fall to the Shen family.

Not to mention that now the Shen family has become the in-laws of the Yan Palace, and the relationship between the Yan Palace and the Han Palace has always been awkward.

But he didn't know what Shen Xi planned.

That day, because of Xu Jing's matter, it was diverted, but in fact, the rest of the matter had not been said in time.

He didn't know whether she was planning to go all out and fight the Han family, or if she was only targeting Wen Chan.

He hadn't seen her for seven days in a row, which was longer than the days when he went to Cangzhou.

And she probably didn't want to see him long ago.

She said she was breaking off the engagement.Also bit him.And pushed him away...

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Han Dun held the cup in his hand, staring at the little emperor who was smiling happily in the distance.

Xiao Huai took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Mr. Han Ge thinks that I, Xiao Huai, can't even find a job in Beijing for the Yue family?"

"My son's thunderous methods, people in the world will not accept it. It's just that if we can give each other face, we won't let the emperor and prince worry about it. What do you think?"

Han Dun looked over.

Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes and looked ahead, but didn't speak.

Han Dun looked into the distance again, but his brows and eyes relaxed.

The little emperor was running wildly on his horse, the horse was jumping, and he was laughing.

Shen Xi and Han Ning stayed for an hour and then went back to the residence.

Qi Jiu entered the room and asked, "Did Han Ning do it on purpose?"

"Of course it was intentional."

Shen Xi washed his hands carefully in the copper basin.

She still underestimated Han Ning's trip. She thought that Han Dun's plan was just to spy on her motives for going to the Xu family's cemetery, so she wondered if she was a descendant of the Xu family. She didn't expect them to directly confirm it.

I want to know if she is a descendant of the Xu family, where is the need for assassination or something?Let her break her skin a little, and she got the answer without anyone noticing.

If she agreed to go to Han's house for an appointment, it must be the embroidery needle that stuck into her finger.

Fortunately, she was prepared. When she saw the bamboo toothpick, she paid attention to it. Generally, teahouse utensils of that level are exquisite. Although there are also bamboo sticks, but at that time, they were facing people from the Han family. , she couldn't be careless.

Ever since she fought against Wen Chan, she has been guarding against this day, so whenever she goes out, Qi Jiu will take some animal blood and put it in a gold bracelet on her wrist.

The blood color of animals is much darker than the blood of Helian people, and is similar to the blood color of intermarried offspring, so as long as it is not particularly critical, you can basically get away with it.

The moment she withdrew her hand just now, the mechanism of the bracelet was opened, and blood was smeared on the wound.

"The doctor I asked you to find, did you have any clues?" She wiped her hands and asked.

This time I passed the test, but next time I might not be so lucky.

Or a bigger wound.She had to prepare early.

Qi Jiudao: "The person I was looking for said that there is a small alley in the south gate, where there are many people of various religions and high-levels. Some people have seen a man named Liu Yijiang there, who once healed a beggar whose leg was broken.

"I heard the description sounds a bit like the Wu Tai Physician in the former palace. But I have been there twice, but I haven't found any trace of this person."

Shen Xi heard this and said, "Is this information reliable? Will it attract the attention of people in Lingyun Pavilion?"

"No." Qi Jiudao, "The only ones who want to deal with the Helian people are the imperial court, ordinary people, especially people from different religions and nine streams, don't care who you are, their blood has been mixed up countless times.

"Besides, I've been living in the suburbs of Beijing for so many years, and I still know a few reliable people. It depends on fate to find this person."

Shen Xi nodded: "If you can be sure that it's the Imperial Physician of Qin Palace, then there's no harm in waiting."

Han Dun went out of the palace and returned to the mansion, and went directly to Han Ning's courtyard.

I found her who was embroidering on the porch: "Where's the handkerchief?"

Han Ning immediately took out the handkerchief that was stained with Shen Xi's "blood" from the room: "I saw this with my own eyes. It should be true."

Han Dun took the handkerchief and took a closer look under the light, only to see that the blood was deeply congealed, and it was no different from the blood of the descendants of intermarriage.

He knew that the nobles of the Great Qin Dynasty did not intermarry with foreigners, so she really has nothing to do with the Xu family?
"Are you sure you want to fight for privacy with them now?" Han Ning asked at this time.

He turned his head and looked at her, and said, "I had a showdown with Xiao Huai after receiving your news. If I were him, I would agree."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "If you have nothing to do, go to the old lady's place to spend more time. She loves you. See if you can clarify the grievances between her and Shen Xi?"

Han Ningning raised her eyebrows: "I remembered that before Shen Xi asked Sister Min to bring a sentence to the old lady, to the effect that the old lady had killed someone before, and now this person is here to take his life.

"Based on everything before and after, I feel that Shen Xi is probably the one who came to take his life, and the old lady is probably the one who killed her back then!"
