Red apricots make spring

Chapter 212
Shi Lei took three steps back in horror, looking at Shen Mengyi's stunning face, he was speechless for a moment, he couldn't believe that such vulgar words came from Shen Mengyi's mouth, and finally decided that he heard it wrong, He took two steps forward and said with a smile on his face, "Ma'am, what did you just say? My husband didn't hear clearly..."

The painted gauze lamp hanging on the corridor was slightly shaken by the wind, and the hazy light reflected Shi Lei's somewhat ugly face, but Shen Mengyi still lowered her eyes in disgust, wanting to repeat what she said just now , but the upbringing she received since she was a child made it impossible for her to spit out such vulgar words when her emotions were slightly calm, so she had to answer the question: "I saw a white shadow floating in the bamboo forest just now, and I was shocked."

"It turns out that Madam just said it was a ghost, but it was her husband's servant! Shi Lei immediately showed a look of enlightenment when he heard the words, and stretched out his hand to support her, saying: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, if it's the wind blowing the flowers, you will be dazed for a moment. Look, it's okay, it's okay to take an Anshen Pill later.But here it is windy and dew heavy, Madam is weak, don't suffer from the cold anymore, go back to your room earlier! "

Shen Mengyi unobtrusively pushed down her sleeves, avoiding Shi Lei's helping hand, and followed his words: "Well, I was startled, and I broke out in a cold sweat, and it gave me a headache when I was blown by the wind."

Shi Lei panicked when he heard this, and quickly shouted: "Hurry up and cook a bowl of hot ginger soup for Madam!"

Shen Mengyi didn't open her mouth to stop her, she just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that she finally found an excuse tonight, she can rest earlier, and she doesn't have to hold back the nausea in her heart to deal with this annoying person.

In the middle of the night, Shen Mengyi was lying on the bed, listening to Shi Lei's snoring beside her, tossing and turning, it was difficult to fall asleep no matter what.Things have developed to this point, although she is exhausted, she has never regretted it. Anyway, as long as she is not with Lu Ce, she doesn't care who she marries, she is bored!It's just that she must try her best to implement the plan she has planned in her heart, otherwise, she will suffer in vain!

Thinking of this, Shen Mengyi unconsciously stretched out her hand to push Shi Lei, once, twice, three times, she couldn't wake up, she finally turned over and sat up, and shook his shoulder with her hand, only then did she wake him up from the sound sleep.

"Madam...Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call a doctor..." Shi Lei thought that something was wrong with Shen Mengyi, although his consciousness was still hazy and not fully awake, he was still worried, and stretched out his hand to feel around his side .

"I have a sore throat and I want to drink water." Shen Mengyi casually found an excuse to persuade Shi Lei, but only wanted to make him more awake, and in the dark, Shi Lei lit the lamp, poured warm tea for her to rinse his mouth, and then poured another cup The water moistened her throat, and she only took two mouthfuls before shaking her head.

Shi Lei drank the remaining water in one gulp, then held the lamp to look at Shen Mengyi's face, he didn't feel anything wrong, then turned on the lamp and went to bed again, just covered the quilt and said sleep, just listen to her Asked softly: "What did you say in the memorial you sent back last time?"

"Memorial?" Shi Lei was stunned for a moment before he remembered such a thing, turned to face Shen Mengyi and said, "Your Majesty didn't send me a question, and I don't know if you read the memorial."

"It's been nearly ten days, why didn't you watch it?" Shen Mengyi gritted her teeth, she didn't expect Shi Lei to be more incompetent than she thought, she even let Lue find out about the secret guards sent by the Holy Lord to Yunzhou, but he was still arrested in the dark.

When Shi Lei saw her asking this question, he stammered: "There are some gossips in the court, but every time I approach them, they keep quiet... You know, I'm a censor, I'm not welcome... On the contrary. My father-in-law sent me to reprimand me once, but I was afraid you would be worried, so I didn't tell you..."

He was also puzzled, obviously when Shen Mengyi asked him to attend the memorial, he said it was his father-in-law Shen Yuan's idea, but the Shen family and the Lu family are family friends, and there was a quarrel because of their marriage earlier, so it was not easy for Shen Yuan to come forward in person For this memorial, Shen Mengyi was asked to have his son-in-law take his place.

Who would have thought that when his father-in-law summoned him to reprimand him, he didn't seem to know about it, and in the end scolded him for being soft-eared for no reason, and he couldn't make up his mind. After he came back, he wondered for several days, but he couldn't figure it out. Ziruan, where to start.

Shen Mengyi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, knowing that her father, Shen Yuan, must have guessed that she urged Shi Lei to hand over the memorial, but when Shi Lei said it himself, she was still a little flustered, and hearing that there was a little confusion in his words, she had no choice but to comfort him. He said: "Originally this matter involved the Lu family, so my father wanted to avoid suspicion. Besides, it was his son-in-law who made the offer, so he also had to guard against others saying that he was threatening private revenge. That's why he pretended not to know, or he could do it himself. I told you, why go around and ask me to say it?"

With Shen Mengyi's explanation, Shi Lei thought he was right, so he put all his doubts behind him, and said with a smile: "Madam really deserves to be a well-known talented woman in Kyoto, what she said is too reasonable!"

If this compliment came from Lu Ce, Shen Mengyi would be overjoyed, but it happened to come from Shi Lei, half of her teeth were sour, she frowned for a while and said: " You can write another book tomorrow, preferably when the Holy Majesty is coming."

"Facing court?" Shi Lei hesitated: "I'm afraid I can't! Ever since the dragon's body was in trouble, the Holy One has not been to court a few times."

idiot!Shen Mengyi was about to scold, and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said: "You won't take advantage of the time when the Holy Majesty summons the courtiers to discuss important matters, and ask for an audience outside?"

"That may not be possible! What if the Holy Majesty is offended?" Shi Lei was very wronged, now the Holy Majesty even rarely summons the courtiers, if he does, it must be to discuss important matters, how can he, a little censor, interfere in it?In case something goes wrong because of this, how many heads does he have for the Holy One to cut off?

"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Shen Mengyi said relentlessly: "Impeaching officials for making mistakes, not avoiding the powerful, and offending the rich and powerful, is your duty as a censor. What else is the use of the imperial court supporting you? Free food?"

This was a bit harsh, hurt Shi Lei's self-esteem, he felt a little unhappy, but he didn't want to have a verbal argument with Shen Mengyi, so he just endured it secretly.

In the darkness, Shen Mengyi couldn't see his face, so she just said to herself: "Your Majesty is not a fool, how dare you kill Yushi? Besides, with my father protecting you, what crimes can you not afford besides treason? "

Shi Lei didn't expect that Shen Mengyi would really dare to say anything, so he quickly covered her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down, how can people hear you?"

Seeing that he was so timid, Shen Mengyi felt even more disappointed, pulled his hand away and said slightly angrily: "Husband and wife are talking under the quilt, are you afraid that people won't listen?"

"As the saying goes, walls have ears..." Shi Lei argued: "It's better to be careful, besides, according to what you said, in the eyes of the Lu family, it's not a big crime to deceive the emperor by keeping a concubine alive..."

Shen Mengyi was so blocked by his words that she almost couldn't answer, she naturally knew that this kind of crime would not kill the Lu family, and the only one she wanted to put to death was Wen Rou!But she couldn't tell Shi Lei what she meant, so she just said unreasonably: "Are you going to do this? If you don't want to, I'll go back to the mansion tomorrow to see my father and ask him to ask someone else to do it." !"

These words were just meant to scare Shi Lei, how would she dare to go back to her mother's house right now?I'm afraid I can't avoid it!However, Shi Lei, who has little brains and regards Shen Mengyi as a treasure in his hand, was really taken in. Seeing that she was annoyed, he immediately coaxed: "I will do it. I will write the paper when I get up early tomorrow, and find a chance when the court officials are present." , hand it to the Holy One."

"That's about the same!" Shi Lei was still useful for the time being, Shen Mengyi had no choice but to turn his anger into anger to coax him.

Although Shen Mengyi couldn't see Shen Mengyi's peerless face in the dark, but when she heard her exhale like blue, and her words were charming and angry, Shi Lei's body suddenly softened half, he couldn't help reaching out and hugging her, whispering in her ear: "If I get angry for you this time, then you will have to say a few nice words for me in front of my father-in-law..."

The bed wasn't too big, and Shen Mengyi slept on the side next to the wall. She had nowhere to hide, so Shi Lei hugged her upright, and heard him speak out of breath with a bit of sourness, knowing what he was referring to. It was the marriage between the Lu and Chen families, and finally they broke up in a quarrel, and the news spread all over the capital. I couldn't help but feel hot, thinking of Lu Ce, and comparing Shi Lei and Lu Ce in my heart, they were really underground. Ni, one is a cloud in the sky, she couldn't help feeling angry and resentful, she pushed Shi Lei away unceremoniously, turned her back coldly and said: "I don't feel well, I'm going to sleep."

Shi Lei couldn't understand Shen Mengyi's moody temper at all, and he didn't dare to offend her, so he had to admit it, and said softly: "Yes, it's my fault, I forgot Madam in a moment of emotion. If you feel uncomfortable, just go to sleep!"
