Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 253
It was late when Shen Yu led his horse back to the city, so he drank tea on the side of the street and listened to people chatting.There are galloping horseshoes outside the teahouse, galloping past the street. He knows those people and supports Xiao Yan's nine guards.

The prince becomes a prince, and the next step is the prince. He is only one step away from the imperial power, and some people can no longer hold back.When Shen Yu returned to the yamen, Lord Shangshu was still waiting for him.

"My lord." Shen Yu cupped his hands in salute, and Zheng Shangshu waved his hand to signal him to sit down.

"Prince Yi is out of danger, the Holy Majesty has withdrawn your punishment, so you will be reinstated immediately." After finishing speaking, Zheng Shangshu sighed, "Right now, the Holy Majesty has issued a decree to ask the Ministry of Punishment to find out who the fake imperial decree is. The mastermind behind the scenes. And it seems that the meaning of the Holy One is to be severely punished."

"Just check it out. There are traces of the servant who delivered the decree and the old imperial decree that was altered without permission."

"It's easy to say, what the Holy Majesty means is that we can't spread it out so that everyone knows about it, otherwise it will be bad for the royal family's face."

"The lower official knows." Shen Yu got up and planned to go back to his room to rest.

"Here are two more invitations, which have been sent to the yamen. Prince Yan's residence and Prince Rui's residence both invite you to drink tea, and the time is also on the same day."

"What does your lord mean?" Shen Yu looked at Zheng Shangshu and asked.

"It's best not to go. No matter how fierce the fights are, those few people are the sons of the emperor. In the end, it can be said to be a family matter. Once the subordinates are involved, it will become a clique to fight for power and profit." Zheng Shangshu posted the post Handed it to Shen Yu to express his opinion.

Shen Yu took the post, looked at it, put it in his sleeve, looked at Zheng Shangshu and said, "My lord, we can no longer be alone."

"how do I say this?"

"When I entered the city just now, I saw the Nine Gate Guards patrolling the streets on fast horses, and the order was much stricter than before. Last time when we wiped out the Qianshou Villa, Prince Rui offered to take the Imperial Forest Army to patrol the city to protect the safety of the people. I didn't see him take the initiative to hand over the control of the Imperial Forest Army, and the emperor also acquiesced in his approach."

"That's why Prince Yan wants to hold the Jingzhaoyin Yamen and the nine guards firmly in his hands. This is already a kind of battle on the surface. The six departments are only left with our punishment department. The lower official posted a message, and sooner or later the adults will not be able to escape, so the lower official said that we can no longer be alone."

"This... are these two people so sure that the imperial power will fall into their hands?" Zheng Shangshu stroked his beard and was a little uncertain.

"They sent the post directly to me instead of to the lord. It is obvious that the lower official has the right to face the Holy Spirit directly. The lower official will use the post to ask the Holy Spirit tomorrow, and we will make a decision." Shen Yu thought about it. I can only ask the emperor who sits on the highest place and watches his sons fight back and forth. Maybe he can guess who has a better chance of winning from the emperor's few words.

Two days later, Prince Yan's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion respectively welcomed a guest from the Ministry of Punishment. Zheng Shangshu brought a gift from Shen Yu to Prince Yan's Mansion, and Shen Yu brought a gift from Zheng Shangshu to Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Master Shen's presence is disrespectful, disrespectful and disrespectful." Xiao Rui seemed to have completely forgotten that he had to kill Shen Yu more than half a month ago, and sincerely welcomed Shen Yu's arrival with a smile.

"My lord, you're being polite. This is a gift that Lord Shang Shu asked the next official to bring, as an apology for not being able to come in person." Shen Yu also chose to forget it like a philanthropist.

"Please come in quickly. They are all colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty. Let's take advantage of Muxiu to drink tea and chat. We only talk about the world and the north and not about state affairs."

Shen Yu followed Xiao Rui into the meeting hall, and they were all familiar faces, and they all showed varying degrees of embarrassment when they saw him coming in.Shen Yu didn't mind at all, and after sitting down, he leaned on the soft bed, enjoyed dancing, listening to music and drinking tea, and occasionally said a few words to the people around him.

Halfway through the banquet, Lord Chen, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, also Chen Xunfang's father, came, and Shen Yu turned to look at him.This Mr. Chen seldom appears in front of people, why is he so high-profile this time.

When Xiao Rui saw Mrs. Chen, there was respect from the inside out on his face, and Shen Yu understood it. A few days ago, it was said that Chen Gel intended to betroth Chen Xunfang to Xiao Rui. Now it seems that this matter is likely to be successful. Really.Sure enough, not long after the two sat down, Shen Yu heard a burst of congratulations. It turned out that the wedding date had been agreed on the New Year's Eve.

Shen Yu couldn't understand Chen Gel's actions. If his grandson and grandson-in-law were in a fight, who would he support?Perhaps for such an aristocratic family, family affection is too extravagant and interests are the most important.

After returning to the yamen from Prince Rui's mansion after a painless meal, Shen Yu came to visit, and it was actually Chen Xunfang.

"Master Shen." Chen Xunfang saw Shen Yu walking out of the reception room.

"I don't know why Miss Chen came to see me?" Shen Yu stopped at the door of the reception room.

"Can you please come in and tell me?" Chen Xunfang twisted the handkerchief with both hands, looking a little nervous.Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, walked in, and sat down opposite Chen Xunfang.

"I just came back from the banquet at Prince Rui's mansion, and Miss Cai is about to marry into Prince Rui's mansion, congratulations girl."

"Your Excellency, are you sincere?" Chen Xunfang's face froze immediately after Shen Yu's congratulations, the courage she had built up with great difficulty suddenly collapsed, and there was a trace of hatred in her heart that she couldn't love. His brows and eyes could not help but sharpen.

"Naturally sincere, Prince Rui is the most popular prince among all the princes, and he is also interested in choosing him when he comes to Ge Lao Mansion. Therefore, the girl has already stepped into the royal family. Naturally, I want to congratulate the girl Qiu Rende Benevolence."

Chen Xunfang was suddenly speechless. The person who was thinking about her said such heartless words, it was as if she was stabbed all over her body with needles and bruises from the inside out.For a long time, she moved her mouth and asked, "Did your lord not know what I was thinking all this time? Or did your lord know but turned a blind eye? I..."

"Miss Chen, I've said it before. Congratulations, Miss, for your kindness. This is what I think." Shen Yu glanced at Chen Xunfang and stood up on the chair, "Miss Chen, I don't want to accompany you if I have something else to do. Farewell." After finishing speaking, Shen Yu walked out the door without looking back.

Chen Xunfang sat stiffly in the room, bit her lip, asking for benevolence?Heh, what a benevolent person, if she can really benevolent, then she should marry him.After sitting for a while, she suddenly pressed the corners of her eyes and sneered, "Shen Yu, please remember what you said today, I will be kind to you.
