The general is always teased

Shi Nanyue's words made Yijin even more inexplicable, she didn't understand what he meant, so she just stared at him with a pair of eyes.

Seeing this, Shi Nanyue hooked his lips into a smile, and told him in a warm voice: "Xiao Jin, the person Dr. Xiao Lin knows is probably His Majesty's uncle, Lord Yu."

Prince Yu is the youngest younger brother of the late emperor. He is only 27 years old this year, only seven years older than His Majesty today.

Shen Yijin's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise: "King Yu?" After a while, he hesitated and said, "Brother Shi, maybe you made a mistake, how did Brother Lin know King Yu?"

Pointing to the word 'An Xian' on the envelope, Shi Nanyue told Shen Yijin: "As far as I know, Prince Yu's name is An Xian, and Prince Yu's palace is the place you just mentioned. There are no other mansions other than the palace."

After listening to Shen Yijin, she was almost certain that the recipient of the letter was King Yu. He raised his eyes, stared at Shi Nanyue blankly for a long while, and guessing the reason why Lin Yan told him to send the letter, he suddenly felt warm in his heart. He whispered: "Brother Lin ...Did he ask me to deliver this letter on purpose?"

Although it was in the form of a question, he spoke in a firm tone.

Shen Yijin actually understands that if An Xian, who belongs to the letter, is really King Yu, then Lin Yan deliberately asked him to send this letter, the purpose is nothing more than to let King Yu take care of him and protect him after reading the letter. safety.

Lin Yan was looking for a backer for him, so that when Shi Nanyue was gone, he would be safe and sound.

Shen Yijin pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly recalled Lin Yan's slightly hesitant expression at that time, pinched the envelope tightly, frowned and said: "At that time, I was so busy being immersed in joy that I forgot to pay attention to Brother Lin's expression. Come to think of it, Brother Lin seemed to be hesitant when he asked me to hand over the letter... In this case, does it mean that Brother Lin actually doesn't want to contact King Yu, it's just because of me?"

After being quiet for a while, Shen Yijin raised her head to look at Shi Nanyue, and pondered: "I think, this letter should not be delivered..."

Sighing softly, Shi Nanyue said slowly: "I know Xiao Jin's concerns, but since Dr. Xiao Lin asked you to deliver the letter, he is already prepared. He hopes to use King Yu's power to protect your safety. If you don't Handing over the letter to King Yu, isn't it a disappointment to Dr. Xiaolin's intentions?"

Shen Yijin looked up at him, and asked, "Brother Shi wants me to deliver this letter?"

"That's right." Shi Nanyue didn't hide anything, he said bluntly, "Xiao Jin, it doesn't matter if you think I'm too much or selfish, but I really hope that you can send this letter to King Yu."

Gently touching Shen Yijin's head, Shi Nanyue looked at him with a gentle expression, and told him truthfully without reservation: "I hope you send the letter, one is because the capital is not safe recently, Rong Xiucheng and Zhao Rong are both In the capital, if Rong Xiucheng knows that you are coming, I am afraid that he will attack you again. I cannot always be by your side to protect you, but if King Yu is willing to protect your safety, at least I can rest assured when you are in the Imperial College .”

"Secondly, it is because King Yu has been unwilling to express his position. No matter whether it is the veterans in the court or His Majesty, he treats him equally. His Majesty tried to win him over several times, but he was perfunctory many times. So far, he has not received it. Definitely answer, and recently, King Yu has started to live in seclusion and does not accept outsiders, I have been turned away several times when I went to the door, and if there is this letter from you, this matter may be able to turn around."

After pausing to consider for a while, Shi Nanyue continued in a calm voice, "Xiao Jin, King Yu holds one-tenth of the military power in his hands, and he also has enough power in the court. If he is willing to help His Majesty, then rectify the court. It will be much easier to get rid of treacherous ministers, and it will also make Zhao Rong have some scruples and dare not act rashly for the time being."

Shen Yijin fell silent after hearing this.

Shi Nanyue no longer asked for it, but stood beside him quietly, waiting for an answer.

Shen Yijin lowered his head and thought about it for a while. When he raised his head again, he had already made a decision. He smiled and said, "Let's go, Brother Shi, let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion."

He knew Lin Yan well, and knew that if he really didn't want to send this letter, Lin Yan would have other methods. Just like what Shi Nanyue said, since Lin Yan made a decision, he wouldn't change it. He shouldn't let him down. This heart.

—

After half an hour.

North Street, Prince Yu's Mansion.

Standing at the gate of the palace, Shi Nanyue asked Shen Yijin to wait for a while, and then stepped forward and knocked on the gate.

The one who opened the door was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with big, round eyes and aura. When he saw that it was Shi Nanyue, he sighed and said helplessly, "General Shi, why is it you again? Let me tell you It's been many times, and the prince hasn't seen any guests recently, please go back, the prince won't see you." After finishing speaking, he was about to close the door.

The young man's name is Qingzhu, and he is the personal servant of King Yu.

"Wait." Shi Nanyue stretched out his hand to press the door, and said to Qingzhu: "I am not the one who wants to see the prince today, there is someone else who wants the prince."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and called Shen Yijin who was waiting at the side.

"It's not you?" Qingzhu was suspicious, turned his head to look at Shen Yijin, tilted his head, and asked: "Who are you? Why are you looking for the prince?"

Shen Yijin cupped her hands and said, "My name is Shen Yijin, and I was entrusted by a friend to deliver a letter to the prince."

"Oh, then you give the letter to me, and I will pass it on to the prince." Qingzhu stretched out her hand to Shen Yijin, motioning Shen Yijin to give him the letter.

Shen Yijin shook her head, and refused: "No, I will hand it over to the lord personally, please go ask the lord, just say that it is a letter from Lin Yan from Jiangnan, and ask him if he wants to see me."

Lin Yan once told him to deliver the letter to that person with his own hands, and not to give it to someone else.

Qingzhu curled his lips and muttered: "It's really troublesome, anyway, no matter who it is, the prince will not see you." Even though he said so, he turned around and ran into the palace to ask Prince Yu.

Qingzhu didn't close the door, but Shen Yijin and Shi Nanyue didn't go in directly, they just stood at the door and waited.

After waiting for a while, Shen Yijin turned to look at Shi Nanyue, and asked curiously, "Brother Shi, do you come here often?"

Shi Nanyue nodded and said: "Well, I have come here often these days. Because of the Jiangnan incident, His Majesty has already torn skins with them, and no longer let them dictate. It is pressing, so His Majesty needs to get an answer from King Yu as soon as possible, a promise that even if he does not choose to side with His Majesty, he will never betray His Majesty."

After the incident in the south of the Yangtze River, the young emperor has completely torn off the disguise of the past years, and has truly confronted the powerful officials and families in the court. His enemies are not only the old officials, but also the queen mother who is hiding in the harem. He wants to fight against them Confrontation requires enough bargaining chips and confidence, and now he has people in his hands, and he can even gain the upper hand in a serious contest with them, but King Yu is a huge variable.

In the past few years, although King Yu has been wandering between the two with ease and has never really stood on which side, the young emperor does not know what his real thoughts are, so he must ensure that King Yu will never will get involved.

While the two were talking, Qingzhu hurried back again, he looked at Shen Yijin with incredulous eyes for a while, and after he had recovered his breath, he said: "You guys come with me, my lord invites you in. "

"Thank you." Shen Yijin smiled slightly at Qingzhu, and followed his footsteps into the palace.

Different from the towering magnificence seen outside, the decoration in the Wangfu is obviously much simpler. Even if you walk into the garden, you can’t see the beautiful scenery that can be seen everywhere in ordinary wealthy families. There is only a stream, a small bridge, and a round pavilion. Rockery, nothing else, is very simple.

The green bamboo led them all the way through the promenade, through the garden, and then along a long green stone road, and finally came to a bamboo forest.

At this time, there was wind, and the bamboo leaves were rustling. In a bamboo forest, a small courtyard was built. In the open courtyard, a man was lazily leaning on a recliner. He was handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. , but he looked very casual. He only wore a simple robe and a black cloak, and his long black hair was also scattered casually.

Qingzhu led Shen Yijin and Shi Nanyue to the yard, stopped, and said respectfully: "My lord, I brought them here."

Hearing the sound, King Yu raised his head, nodded, and ordered: "Qingzhu, go down and prepare some refreshments." After the words fell, his eyes fell on Shen Yijin again. After looking at Shen Yijin for a while, he said softly: "You guys come on."

Walking over according to the words, Shen Yijin bowed in salute and said, "I have seen the prince."

"There is no need to salute." Stopping Shi Nanyue from saluting, King Yu raised his finger and pointed to the round table not far away, and said, "You all sit down, don't be limited by etiquette, just do whatever you want."

"Thank you, my lord." Shen Yijin and Shi Nanyue sat down as promised.

Getting up from the reclining chair, King Yu also walked to the round table and sat down. He stretched out his hand to Shen Yijin, with a somewhat eager tone: "Want to send me a letter? Give it to me quickly."

Shen Yijin took out the letter from her arms and handed it to him with both hands.

After taking the letter, King Yu lowered his head and stared intently at the letter in his hand.

He stared at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, and his expressionless face instantly softened. He gently smoothed the wrinkles on the letter with his hands, his movements were very gentle, and his eyes were so gentle that it was incredible, as if looking through the letter. , I can really see the person I think about day and night.

Carefully opening the letter, King Yu stared at the few short lines and read it over and over again until he remembered all of it, then gently folded the letter paper, put it back into the envelope, and put it next to his body Put it in your arms.

Seeing King Yu's behavior in his eyes, Shen Yijin's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes became a little complicated.

"You are Shen Yijin?" King Yu raised his head, his eyes fell on Shen Yijin, and asked again: "Does he have anything else to say to you?"

Hearing this, Shen Yijin shook her head and said, "Brother Lin didn't explain anything else."

"what……"

King Yu was obviously a little disappointed, he looked away, and took out the letter that he had just put in his arms to read.

When Shen Yijin saw her, her expression became more and more complicated. It turned out that Brother Lin's hesitation at that time was because of this reason?

——King Yu, I like Big Brother Lin.

What about... Brother Lin?Do you also like King Yu?

Shen Yijin couldn't help being at a loss.

No one spoke, and the wind could be heard in the quiet surroundings. Shen Yijin and King Yu each had their own concerns and were trapped in their own thoughts.

It wasn't until Qingzhu brought the refreshments that the silence was broken.
