The love of fast-wearing has thousands of eons

Chapter 70 070 Empress Dowager (22)
After helping Xuanyuan Zichen tidy up his clothes, Shen Mengdie's mood also calmed down. She took the other's palm and asked distressedly: "Why are you hurt?"

"Two days ago, I received a news report and found a bandit of unknown origin. When I took people to check, I encountered a surprise attack from the other party, so..."

Xuanyuan Zichen didn't say the following words, but Shen Mengdie also roughly guessed it.

Recently, more and more people came to Shen's house to visit her, and from the news she got, the battle among the princes had begun to turn from darkness to light, and there were not a few people who wanted to pull her into this battle.

For her, who doesn't know much about the forces in Beijing, this is undoubtedly a big gamble, and it still depends on luck.If the Shen family chooses the correct team in the battle for the throne this time, it will undoubtedly go to a higher level, but if it is wrong, the century-old foundation of the Shen family will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Faced with the current situation, she didn't know what choice to make for a while.

When Shen Mengdie thought about all this clearly, she looked at the doting eyes of the other party looking at her, and asked a little puzzled: "In this case, why did the news that you were seriously injured and in danger spread in the capital?"

"The current situation between North Korea and China is not peaceful. All forces are closely watching the half of the soldiers in my hands. I can take this opportunity to thank guests behind closed doors and secretly investigate who did the tricks."

"Then you should pay more attention to safety."

"It's not peaceful outside recently, you'd better move to the palace and thank guests behind closed doors with me."

Facing Xuanyuan Zichen's proposal, Shen Mengdie was tempted for a while, because there were too many people who came to Shen's other courtyard recently, so many that she couldn't avoid it.

"Ok."

Although it is impolite for a single woman to enter other people's homes and live in other people's eyes, as a queen-to-be, she does not have the mentality of women of this era, and other people dare not chew their tongues.

"The wedding has to be postponed."

Xuanyuan Zichen put his chin lightly on the other's shoulder, and whispered in her ear.

"I'm fine, as long as you're fine."

Regarding the matter of delaying the wedding date, Shen Mengdie has the mentality of procrastinating as long as she can. Although she understands that her behavior is a bit selfish, if she is to forcefully reject the other party, it is absolutely impossible.

After the two discussed, Shen Mengdie decided to follow the other party's arrangement, so in the following days, no matter how chaotic the outside world was, neither of them had much communication with people from other forces.

It wasn't until Shen Mengdie received a letter from her confidant that she didn't know that a branch of the Shen family had come to Beijing, but without her knowledge, she took refuge in the third prince's command on behalf of the Shen family.Faced with this situation, Shen Mengdie had no choice but to clean up the house. At the same time, Prime Minister You also repeatedly sent people to Prince Li's Mansion to ask Xuanyuan Zichen to see him.

Feeling the tense situation now, Shen Mengdie felt anxious.

"My lord, Prime Minister You came to the door to ask for an audience."

Following the report from the chief steward of the palace, Xuanyuan Zichen waved to the steward after pondering for a moment. "Bring people in."

"Yes."

Seeing the housekeeper going away, Shen Mengdie approached Xuanyuan Zichen and asked, "Zichen, what do you think Prime Minister You is here for?"

"Well... it should be to win me over, but the specific situation will have to be asked later."

"Then I'll go to the back and avoid it for a while."

"Well, let's go."

After getting Xuanyuan Zichen's approval, Shen Mengdie walked into the screen beside her. Not long after finding a chair to sit down, she heard footsteps outside.

"My minister pays homage to Prince Li."

"The right prime minister is very polite, please take a seat."

After Xuanyuan Zichen winked at the head steward's family, he conveniently led all the people who were serving here to retreat.

"Thank you, Prince Li."

After saluting respectfully, Prime Minister You straightened his robe and sat down on the lower seat.

"I don't know what Prime Minister You is here today?"

"My minister came here today because of a merciless request, and I hope the prince will make amends."

"Oh, I don't know what it is?"

"Nowadays, the court is full of wind and clouds, and all forces are trying to seize the throne. The humble minister is bold, and I hope that Prince Li will be able to sit on the throne."

When Prime Minister You said this, he looked at Xuanyuan Zichen in shock. He understood that if he could not persuade Prince Li today, what awaited him would be the crime of confiscating his family and exterminating his family.

After Xuanyuan Zichen heard Prime Minister You's remarks, he just tapped his fingers on the table in silence, and the clear and crisp sound made by his fingers hitting the table was like a heavy hammer hitting Prime Minister You's heart.

Just when Prime Minister You was worrying about his future, Xuanyuan Zichen finally stopped his contemplative movements, and after squinting his eyes and scanning the other party up and down for a moment, seeing that Prime Minister You couldn't help but was about to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead , he finally said: "Prime Minister You, please come back today."

"Prince Li, you..."

For a while, Prime Minister You couldn't see what Prince Li was thinking.

"Come on, see off."

No matter what doubts Prime Minister You had, Xuanyuan Zichen was not prepared to answer right now.

Shen Mengdie sat behind the screen, and after hearing the whole story, she sighed deeply in her heart.After walking out of the screen, he saw Xuanyuan Zichen silently looking at the door.

"Zichen, what do you think Prime Minister You intends?"

Xuanyuan Zichen frowned and pondered for a moment, then replied: "The left and right prime ministers have been at odds with each other for a long time. As far as the current situation is concerned, the right prime minister should be looking for someone he can rely on."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Let's discuss this matter."

For the current situation, Xuanyuan Zichen didn't want to get involved too much, although he had seen the dark side of the royal family when he was a child, and his father also intended to let him ascend the throne back then, but there were no absolutes in the world.

From his name, we can understand the intention of the first emperor, Chen: the king, and now it is time for him to make a decision.

Not long after, the battle for contention became more and more fierce, and the contention that was originally above the court gradually spread to the people.Various framing and assassination incidents emerged one after another, and the current Holy Majesty did not know why he was seriously ill, and all kinds of rumors spread all of a sudden.

Xuanyuan Zichen had to secretly send troops to transfer to the capital, and at the same time planted his own spies in the palace.

After Shen Mengdie said that she was standing with Xuanyuan Zichen, the number of people who invited her to join her side gradually decreased, while the number of people who were wary of assassination began to increase.

Xuanyuan Zichen didn't let her act alone until she met a man in black who was committing murder under the watchful eyes of everyone when she was out at work.Regarding the court affairs, Shen Mengdie felt that she could only watch, and was frustrated that she could not help Xuanyuan Zichen.
