and leave

With bowls of bitter Chinese medicine poured down, four days passed in a flash.

Lu Yiqing's cold was finally cured, but she still couldn't get up from the hospital bed, because her relatives came to visit one after another after the cold - in fact, she was in good health, and she didn't feel much when her relatives visited before, but unfortunately she fell into the water this time If it is cold, it will not be very comfortable for the past two days.Not to mention his pale face, his lower abdomen always had a dull pain, which was not unbearable but very painful.

Shen Wangshu had a panoramic view of all these, and naturally pressed Lu Yiqing to let her continue to rest, and conveniently stuffed a soup lady to warm her stomach.Just turning her head, she threw the person at home and went out alone.

Four days passed, and it was the time when Lu Yiqing's dream of the Northwest battle report came, whether it was true or not, it was today.

Shen Wangshu wanted to go and see for herself, and she was partial to this matter in her heart, so these days, the firm's disposal has been speeded up without a trace.Today's going out is also because of the business, she has to meet with the contact person and talk about the transfer of the shop.

Because he wanted to know the news as soon as possible, Shen Wangshu made an appointment to meet on Zhuque Street.It is the main street of the entire Chang'an city, not to mention the most bustling and bustling, and there is a road leading directly from the city gate to the imperial palace - if there is a battle report from the northwest, this is the road that the messenger soldiers must take, etc. You can see it clearly from the street.

At the beginning of Sishi, Shen Wangshu led the two managers of the firm and waited in the Yunhe Tower next to Zhuque Street.

She had already ordered someone to reserve a private room in Yunhe Tower, facing the window was the bustling market outside, and one could have a panoramic view of the entire street by raising her eyes a little.And within a quarter of an hour after the group sat down, someone knocked on the door of the private room.

A visitor in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance but shrewd, saluted Shen Wangshu as soon as he entered the door: "Mrs. Lu."

Shen Wangshu also got up to greet him, and looked around the other party without any trace of his gaze: "Guan Xu?"

Manager Xu nodded, and Shen Wangshu asked him to sit down again. After a few simple greetings, the two sides directly talked about the business.During the period, the two stewards brought by Shen Wangshu didn't say a word, they just listened, but the more they listened, the more their hearts sank.

After more than half an hour, Shen Wangshu and Xu Guanshi also finished their discussion.The two signed a document on the spot, and Manager Xu put away the things contentedly, then saluted Shen Wangshu, and left briskly.

The owner of the Lu family firm has not announced the relocation of the Lu family firm so far, and it is obvious that he is a confidant who can follow Shen Wangshu to handle the management of the Lu family store today.The two of them won't question Shen Wangshu's decision under Patriarch Lu's order, but after Manager Xu left, they still couldn't help but ask: "Young Madam, this shop is treated like this..." What's the difference between sending it for nothing? !

Shen Wangshu casually threw the signed paper on the table, her face was filled with joy and anger, she glanced at the two stewards, and asked, "You two think that father wants to leave Chang'an just because of a whim?"

Of course not, no one would let go of a stable family business just because of a whim, and Patriarch Lu is not stupid.

The two stewards looked at each other, and quickly understood what was going on, and asked cautiously, "I don't know who is behind that one just now?"

Shen Wangshu took a sip of tea from his teacup, but he didn't answer——Lu's firm is not small, so it would be easy to move out in a short time?Not to mention keeping it from King Xiang, it is not something a concubine Xiang can easily swallow.So before, Guanshi Xu was not from Princess Xiang, he was from the emperor, and those who were let out by the Lu family were considered filial piety to him after he took refuge in the emperor.

Although these filial pieties are of no use, the emperor can't even keep the Lu family.He was not even willing to confront King Xiang head-on because of this, but was willing to let the Lu family move away, not giving King Xiang an opportunity to take advantage of it, and at the same time follow behind to pick up the Lu family's shop for nothing.

Thinking of this, Shen Wangshu almost wanted to laugh out loud, she really didn't expect the king of a country to be so petty.

The two stewards didn't get an answer, and they didn't understand what Shen Wangshu was laughing at, but the other party's non-denial attitude undoubtedly acquiesced to their guess.Their hearts sank slightly, and they looked at each other but couldn't guess more.

After a while, a steward asked: "The young lady, the matter has been settled, shall we go back?"

Shen Wangshu put down the teacup, but said: "There is no rush." ​​As he spoke, he turned his gaze out of the window.

But at this moment, there was another knock on the door of the private room, and the two stewards took it for granted that Shen Wangshu had made an appointment with someone else.They looked at each other and then looked at Shen Wangshu, the latter's eyes flashed with thought, and immediately said as if nothing had happened: "Go and open the door to have a look."

The steward nodded, stepped forward and opened the door, only to see the person outside the door wearing a black robe and a gold crown, full of extravagance.

"This..." The steward didn't know the person, but he could recognize him from his clothes and demeanor.

The visitor pushed him away without waiting for him to ask, and then stepped into the private room majestically, looked at Shen Wangshu and said: "This king happened to come to Yunhe Tower, and I heard that Ashu was here, so I came here to see you. Ah Shu, don't think that the king is rude."

When Shen Wangshu saw the person coming, the emotion in his eyes flashed, he got up and lowered his eyes and said: "His Royal Highness King Xiang."

****************************************************************************

King Xiang's appearance was an accident, but Shen Wangshu might not have thought of it, but seeing someone actually made her feel a little unhappy—she didn't like this self-righteous person in the first place, and after hearing Lu Yiqing's dream, she treated him with displeasure. A little more hate.

King Pianxiang didn't realize it, he stared at Shen Wangshu sharply, and then sent the two stewards away without politeness.

Shen Wangshu didn't stop him either, watching the two stewards leave worriedly, and then turned his gaze back to King Xiang.

King Xiang strolled to the table and sat down, glanced at the teacup and teapot on the table, raised his eyebrows slightly, then picked up the teacup Shen Wangshu used to look at it, and suddenly drank half of the cup A cup of remnant tea, said with a smile: "The tea in Yunhe Tower is not bad."

Shen Wangshu didn't seem to expect that he would be so aggressive, and immediately gritted his teeth angrily: "You..."

King Xiang didn't care, looking at Shen Wangshu's frowning, he felt very beautiful.He pursed his lips and smiled frivolously, his handsome face showed a bit of wickedness, he twirled the teacup lightly with his fingers: "Why, Ah Shu is angry?"

Shen Wangshu closed his eyes, walked to the window: "Your Highness wants to say what you want, why bother?!"

King Xiang smiled when he heard this, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his voice was low and threatening: "What does this king want, doesn't Ashu know? This king said that he will welcome you in." The mansion does not allow you to be the main concubine, but there is always a side concubine."

Hearing the word "side concubine", Shen Wangshu couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't reveal anything on her face, she said: "Your Highness don't need to say that, I have already married a wife, let alone enter your palace. "

King Xiang is used to being arrogant, or he is always self-centered, and he can't listen to others' refutation, let alone allow others to refuse.

But Shen Wangshu rejected it more than once, King Xiang's expression darkened suddenly, he stood up and wanted to grab Shen Wangshu's hand.As a result, as soon as the steps were taken, Shen Wangshu was standing by the open window, and outside the window was the noisy Zhuque Street, and I don’t know how many passers-by could look up and see what was going on inside the window—King Xiang valued his face the most , Naturally, you can't do coercive things in full view.

Reluctantly suppressing his anger, King Xiang ordered: "Come here."

Shen Wangshu is not stupid, so he naturally refused: "No need, the scenery here is unique."

King Xiang looked at her angrily, his eyes were like sharp eagle eyes, making people dare not look directly at her...So Shen Wangshu really stopped looking at him, and moved his gaze out of the window, only staring at him from the corner of his eyes. Every move.

King Xiang, who had never been treated like this before, was laughed angrily: "Okay, Shen Wangshu, you really don't know what's good. Aren't you married? Don't you want to avoid suspicion? I don't know about your sick young man. Do you have a life to stay with you forever!"

Shen Wangshu turned his head when he heard this, his eyes were also sharp: "What are you going to do?!"

King Xiang sneered, looking at Shen Wangshu with aggression in his eyes: "I have never been unable to get what I want."

Shen Wangshu heard this and said in his heart: If you want the throne, you won't get it, and don't even think about getting it in the future.

However, she still listened to King Xiang's threat—the incident that Lu Yiqing fell into the water a few days ago was obviously the black hand behind King Xiang's back. There are a lot of people in the family, who can be sure that there will be no next person who betrays the master?Moreover, according to what King Xiang said, he knew that Lu Yiqing was ill, and someone from the Lu family must have tipped him off.

Shen Wangshu silently remembered it in his heart, and decided to check the servants at home again after returning home, but the current situation still needs to be dealt with.She frowned and was about to speak, but suddenly heard a noise outside the window, and subconsciously turned her head to look over.

On the wide street, a horse riding Juechen came, and the knight ran and shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way..."

The rules in Chang'an City are strict, no one, even princes and nobles, would dare to gallop on the Suzaku Avenue.If someone is so arrogant, the knight guards in the city will teach him how to be a man, and the only exceptions are the urgent reports from all over the country, especially the military reports—and it just so happens that he rode his horse downstairs. The knight who passed was wearing a military uniform, and there was a command chess unique to a messenger stuck in his back.

The messenger galloped past on horseback, yelling all the way to get people out of the way, until they were hoarse, and pedestrians still fell and injured a lot even though they couldn't catch them.By the time he passed by, the street was already a mess.

Seeing this, Shen Wangshu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the back of the orderly soldier who was gradually going away, his eyes did not look back for a long time.

King Xiang also came to the window at some point, ignoring the strife before, looking at the mess all over the street, he also frowned: "What's going on?"

Shen Wangshu didn't answer, but the door of the private room was hurriedly pushed open the next moment.The people who came didn't even look at Shen Wangshu, they hurried forward when they saw King Xiang, and whispered a few words to him.

After a while, King Xiang's expression changed, and then he left without paying attention to Shen Wangshu.

Shen Wangshu saw that there was a calculation in his heart, his eyes suddenly relaxed.Immediately, she strolled to the table, glanced at the teacup on the table that King Xiang had played with, and suddenly gave a light snort.
