My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 208 The Conspiracy Is Approaching
"Xiudao, gold is more valuable than jade skin cream."

It describes the "Jade Skin Edelweiss Cream" worth thousands of gold.

How ridiculously expensive is this thing?

A bottle the size of a baby's fist costs hundreds of taels of silver, which is money that many ordinary people will never earn in their lifetime.

Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a limited stockpile, and with Ning Bin's injuries, there is almost no good skin on her body. Even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs were to use all the supplies to supply Ning Bin, it would be a drop in the bucket.

In order to make her daughter recover as soon as possible, Mrs. Song was willing to go bankrupt.

But the Song family was not the one who had the final say. After Mrs. Song sold most of her dowry, she went back to her parents' home, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, to gather wool.

When she asked for 5 taels of silver, her father Zhou Laohou was so angry that he picked up his crutch and wanted to beat this unfilial daughter to death.

In the past two years, the betrothal gifts and dowries for the children and grandchildren in the mansion have cost almost half of the prince's mansion. Now the Zhou family's treasury can't even get 5 taels of cash. As a result, Zhou Yuru asked for [-] taels, which was completely indifferent. My mother's family is dead or alive.

Everyone in the Zhou family refused, so Mrs. Song knelt down in front of her parents and cried. She would not leave no matter how hard they beat or scolded her, making the Zhou family restless.

In the end, Lord Zhou cruelly paid out 1 taels and threatened to sever ties with Zhou Yuru, his daughter, and never have any contact with her again.

Mrs. Song knew that she had offended her mother's family severely this time, so she did not dare to argue. After getting the money, she left in a hurry.

But the wives of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion couldn't bear the bad breath and publicized what their sister-in-law had done. Zhou Yuru finally "got her wish" and became famous.

Even the Song family was ridiculed and despised by the outside world and fell into a bad reputation. The descendants of the Song family could not even lift their heads when they went out.

Shen Yuan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were watching the excitement in the mansion with great enthusiasm. She hoped that the Song family would "accept" this great gift.

In the Song family's joke, Emperor Qianyuan's sixtieth birthday is approaching.

Envoys from various countries have arrived in Beijing one after another, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for receiving them as usual. Qin He leads part of the imperial army and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to take charge of security.

And Wei Qionghua, who had been "at peace" for a long time, finally heard some news.

According to reports from spies sent by Emperor Qianyuan, Wei Qionghua planned to take action on the emperor's sixtieth birthday.

Shen Yuan called him "good guy," Wei Qionghua was really afraid that she would not die quickly enough, so she dared to disturb Tai Sui.

The emperor told Qin He and Shen Yuan the news in advance, just to prepare them to lead the emperor into the urn.

Wei Qionghua's general plan was to set up an ambush to intercept the Qin family and kidnap Shen Yuan as soon as the emperor's birthday banquet was over and the guests were leaving the palace.

Of course it won't be that simple. They will send out two groups of people. One group will be dead soldiers, mixed into the kabuki and juggling troupes performing that day, responsible for assassinating the emperor and diverting attention.

In fact, he lured the tiger away from the mountain, and when everyone rushed to rescue him, he took advantage of the situation and kidnapped the real target Shen Yuan.

I have to say that Wei Qionghua and the gang of rebels have some brains.

Who would have thought that someone would throw the emperor out as a shield in order to arrest a foreign minister's wife?
Someone assassinates the emperor. Regardless of whether they like it or not, everyone's first reaction must be to run to the rescue. Even if it is just superficial, they must do it.

Especially for Qin He, it was his duty to protect the safety of the palace and His Majesty. Other officials had excuses not to rescue him, but he could not.Once Qin He leads his troops to rescue him, the guards on the Qin family's side will definitely be empty.At this time, the real murderous intention appears, and the remaining guards of the Qin family may not be able to resist it.

In this way, Shen Yuan was completely exposed to the enemy.

Fortunately, the other party wanted to live alive, otherwise Shen Yuan would really be in danger of his life.

As for why the other party goes to such trouble?
In fact, he just wanted to cover up the truth of the assassination that "Shen Yuan is the real target".

If you attack the Qin family or Shen Yuan directly, people will inevitably find out the clues. The Qingtian Sect's purpose of kidnapping Shen Yuan is to use her for their own use. Naturally, they don't want the outside world to know about Shen Yuan's specialness. .

If you want to make a fortune in silence, who wants to tell others about your "money tree" in a big way?

Of course, the tighter the cover, the better!

And with Emperor Qianyuan as a "shield" in front of him, who in the outside world can guess the other party's true purpose?
At that time, in order to cover their eyes and ears, if they killed a few more officials or kidnapped a few married women to confuse the public, Shen Yuan's abduction would only be considered an unlucky person who had been implicated.

The enemy planned carefully, and the Qin family also made two preparations.

The most optimistic result is that both Shen Yuan and Luliu were unscathed. The guards of the Qin family and the imperial guards teamed up to exterminate and capture the rebels, and successfully learned from the survivors where the rebels lived, and the Qingtian Sect in the capital. Power was uprooted.

An intermediate result is that Li Dai's plan to defeat Tao goes smoothly, Lu Liu successfully sneaks into the enemy camp, cooperates with Qin He inside and outside, and kills the enemy in one fell swoop.

Luliu has extraordinary skills, and she also has some life-saving escape items left for her by Shen Yuan and Hongying. If she is defeated, it will not be difficult to escape.

The worst outcome is that the enemy sees through their plan and kidnaps the real Shen Yuan.Although the other party wanted to live alive and her life was not in danger for the time being, there was no guarantee that the other party would not torture her.

Shen Yuan had never been trained to die and had no martial arts skills. Once he was injured by torture, he would not be able to escape on his own like Luliu without those means of escape.

Before Qin He and the emperor's people could rescue her, she would have to suffer a lot.

Of course, what Qin He is most worried about is that those rebel thieves will be so mad that they will be destroyed together.

As long as Shen Yuan falls into the hands of the other party, anything may happen, and no one can guarantee that it will be foolproof.

Faced with the worries and uneasiness of Qin He, his parents-in-law and others, Shen Yuan, the client, was actually very calm.

As a pawn and in the middle of the game, no matter how difficult the situation was, she had to do everything possible to survive.

There is still a gap in the hundred secrets. No matter how good the plan is now, it is useless. If an unexpected situation occurs, you still have to adapt to the situation, so worrying now is useless.

If she accidentally falls into a trap, she will be treated as if she deserves this fate.

If you want me to die, I have to die. Can she still be able to defeat the emperor?

She was already dead, and the extra years of life were all earned. Her two children had their grandparents and Qin He around, so she had nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan suddenly realized that he should eat and drink when he should, and his mentality was as stable as an old dog.
