The little lady of the Hou's Mansion who traveled through time

It was already night at this time, candles were lit in the house, and the dim light fell on Shen Huaqing's body, adding a bit of haziness to his person, even though he was over thirty, he was still handsome.He was wearing a white sable fur with gold threaded cranes on the cuffs and a jade crown on his head. Compared with his usual clothes, he was obviously well-dressed.

When Shen Huaqing saw the two of them coming back, she put down the teacup in her hands, and said with a smile, "I thought you guys weren't going to come back tonight!" It was just teasing, but she didn't ask where she went.

Shen Yinghan apologized somewhat, "I made uncle worry."

Shen Huaqing stood up, then took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Yinghan.

Shen Yinghan took the letter and found a golden icon printed on the envelope, "Horse City?"

Shen Huaqing nodded in approval and motioned for the other party to open the envelope.

The envelope was opened, and there was a notice from Horsey City to Shen Yinghan inside.

White dark lines could be vaguely seen on the golden notice, on which Shen Yinghan's name was written in small letters.

If you want to enter Horsey City University to study, you must get a notice from Horsey City, and the notice can only be obtained through two methods, the first is an exam, and the second is the ten places selected by each country's imperial court every year, and these places , Generally for the children of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Shen Yinghan had never taken the test in Horsey City, so it was naturally the second situation.

If he is in good health, with his status, there is nothing wrong with getting a nomination.But in his current situation, when Shen Huaqing suddenly asked him to go to Huoxi City, he was a little puzzled, "Uncle, why?"

Shen Huaqing avoided answering, just asked: "Don't you want to go?"

Shen Yinghan shook his head, "I want to go, but..." He paused slightly, with some difficulty, "I'm afraid my body is not suitable."

"You don't have to worry about these things. I will make arrangements for Horsey City, and I will also persuade your parents. You wanted to visit Horsey City when you were a child, and going there this time can be regarded as fulfilling a wish."

Hearing this, Shen Yinghan looked down at the letter in his hand, maybe for him who is running out of time, it is a good idea to accomplish something he wants to do.

Shen Yinghan nodded, "When are you going?"

"New Year's Eve, March."

"Where's Sijun?"

"If you want to take it with you, let him go with you too." Shen Huaqing looked at Song Sijun, and after the two looked at each other, Song Sijun already knew what the other was thinking.

Shen Huaqing sent Shen Yinghan to Huoxi City not only to let the other party fulfill his wish, but mainly to let him leave the Qing Kingdom and leave the sphere of influence of Emperor Gu Chengxuan.This can prevent Gu Chengxuan from continuing to hurt Shen Yinghan, and also allow Shen Huaqing to deal with that pious emperor freely.

Qingguo is about to change.

The candlelight swayed and the lights flickered. Shen Huaqing looked calm. He patted Shen Yinghan's shoulder lightly, "It's getting late, you should go to rest early."

Shen Yinghan nodded.

Song Sijun said: "I'll take uncle out."

Shen Huaqing nodded and walked straight out, while Song Sijun followed behind him.

The night wind felt cold on his face. After the two of them left the yard, Shen Huaqing sighed and said to Song Sijun behind him, "After you go to Huoxi City, you have to take good care of him."

"I will."

"Don't worry, I won't treat the Song family badly."

Song Sijun shook his head, "I don't care about them at all."

Shen Huaqing stopped and turned to look at him, "Then what do you want?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Then I will grant you a wish."

This is a good deal, Song Sijun nodded, "But what you say is unfounded, what if the Prime Minister reneges on the debt in the future?"

Being questioned by Song Sijun, Shen Huaqing was not angry, but smiled and said: "You are right, come with me."

The two went to Shen Huaqing's study together. Shen Huaqing wrote a letter of commitment in front of Song Sijun, stamped his private seal, and handed it to Song Sijun.

After Song Sijun took over the letter of commitment with wet ink on it, "Isn't Mr. Xiang angry? I doubt you so much."

Shen Huaqing shook her head: "It's a good thing to be cautious, and you really shouldn't trust the casual promises of others. Back then when I brought the Song family to help Gu Chengxuan win the heir apparent, he promised to treat the Shen family well after he ascended the throne, but... Hiding from the back is hard."

"A companion is like a tiger. Since ancient times, emperors have been lying on the side of the couch, and no one else is allowed to sleep soundly. The Song family is inside, and the prime minister controls the court. Outside, the general holds the military power. It is impossible for the emperor to be unguarded against you."

"Great meritorious deeds, self-destruction?" Shen Huaqing smiled wryly, he went to the side and sat down, "I have thought about this too, in order to let him feel at ease with the Song family, I have never been married, and Huayang also married the eldest princess. The only descendant of the Shen family is Yinghan. I think that half of Yinghan's blood is the same as his, so he will always feel relieved."

But Shen Huaqing seemed too simple after all.

Even though Shen Yinghan had the same blood as Gu Chengxuan in his body, Gu Chengxuan did not let him go.On the surface, he cared deeply about Shen Yinghan, but secretly he used the most vicious method to hurt Shen Yinghan.

"Half of the blood of Lord Hou is the same as that of the emperor, but the other half belongs to the Shen family." Song Sijun said bluntly, "In the eyes of the emperor, Lord Hou is his nephew, but he is the heir of the Shen family. The only heir, the Shen family will have no successors. The power in the hands of the Shen family will gradually return to the emperor's hands due to your weakness over time. But there is one thing I don't understand, the emperor has no heirs. He will grow old, so will he, and he has no successor, so who should give the power in his hands?"

Hearing this question, Shen Huaqing sneered disdainfully: "It's just an illusion that there is no successor, it's just for us to see. The child who put dead mice in the tea is Gu Chengxuan's flesh and blood."

This news is a bit explosive.

Shen Huaqing: "I only found out about this matter by following the clues not long ago."

He originally thought that Gu Chengxuan wanted to use the child's hand to kill Shen Yinghan, but he felt that the method was too simple, so he investigated the child's family carefully.

After peeling off the cocoon, I felt absurd.

That child turned out to be Gu Seung-hyun's illegitimate child.And he put mice in Shen Yinghan's tea just because he resented the Shen family.Everyone around him told him that the emperor would only recognize his identity if the Shen family fell.

The entire imperial court and nobles knew that the emperor had a deep affection for Shen Huaqing, so they vacated the harem for him.The affectionate and dedicated appearance deceived Shen Huaqing.And successfully used this feeling to restrain Shen Huaqing and gain Shen Huaqing's trust.

For more than 20 years, Shen Huaqing was wary of him, but never thought that the other party would be so vicious.

Until Shen Yinghan went to the hot spring palace, Gu Chengxuan's people didn't keep an eye on Gu Pan'er, and asked Gu Pan'er to put dead mice in the tea, which attracted Shen Huaqing's attention.

Gu Chengxuan had planned carefully and meticulously for so many years, but because of this accident, Shen Huaqing followed through to find out.

If it wasn't for finding that child, Shen Huaqing would have been moved by his affection for so many years.

Song Sijun was surprised and remembered the relationship between Shen Huaqing and the emperor, "Then you and the emperor..."

"He and I are not the kind of relationship you think." Shen Huaqing looked calm.

If the two love each other, then Shen Huaqing may already be the queen by now.

In the case of the Shen family, if Shen Huaqing liked the emperor, even if the other party didn't like Shen Huaqing, he would bring him into the harem for the sake of power.

But the truth is, the harem is empty.There is no Shen Huaqing, and no other concubines.

After thinking about it, I'm afraid Gu Chengxuan has intentions, but Shen Huaqing has no intentions.

Song Sijun asked: "Has Master Xiang never been tempted by the emperor?"

Shen Huaqing supported his chin with one hand, "A man who has been devoted to you for more than 20 years will be tempted even if he is a stone." When he said these words, he still had a calm face, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him. Things, "but after knowing that everything is his disguise, he gave up."

"really?"

"Oh, what do you think of me? Crying, making trouble, and hanging myself?"

"I don't know, but..." You shouldn't be so calm after falling out of love!

Shen Huaqing seemed to see Song Sijun's thoughts, and smiled lightly, "I like him, but there are different degrees of liking. Some likings are like a piece of delicious pastry. If you lose it, you will feel a little lost, but it won't hurt your heart."

"Then how much do you like the emperor?"

Shen Huaqing: "I don't know the details, but compared to the Shen family, it's not worth mentioning."

Everyone thinks they love each other deeply, but the truth is that both of them are pretending.

Song Sijun was still a little puzzled, "For more than 20 years, the emperor has always been very kind to Xiangye, so does Xiangye really only like a little bit?"

Shen Huaqing caressed his temples, under the dim candlelight, people could not help but think of the words "beauty under the lamp", he smiled lightly and said: "There are so many people who like me, do they treat me better, so I will like him?"

This sentence has a bit of green tea flavor, but it is also the truth.

Shen Huaqing: "Could it be that if others treat you better, you will be tempted?"

This sentence instantly made Song Sijun a little guilty.

He really is like this...

As long as Shen Yinghan is gentle and caring towards him, he will treat Shen Yinghan with all his heart...

Seeing that he didn't answer, Shen Huaqing smiled, and he got up and walked towards Song Sijun, "I met Gu Chengxuan when I was six years old, and now I'm almost forty, and I only saw his true face clearly. This incident reminds me that I can't trust a person easily." And He also doesn't believe Song Sijun in front of him now.

The other party walked in front of Song Sijun, making Song Sijun feel a bit oppressed.

Song Sijun looked up at Shen Yinghan, who looked indifferent and his eyes were dim.

Shen Huaqing said coldly: "You are much smarter than I imagined. An ordinary villager's child, even illiterate before entering Shen's house, has such a clear view of the court... Don't you think it's strange?"

Song Sijun was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the original owner would never be able to explain his analysis of the court situation just now.

"Who sent you here?" Many guesses flashed through Shen Huaqing's mind.

Could it be that someone took advantage of the eldest princess and took the opportunity to send a spy to Shen's house.

Fortune-telling is a strange thing, but it happens that you can find someone who matches the other person... Song Sijun and the Song family are also quite indifferent...

After some guesswork, Shen Huaqing became even more suspicious of Song Sijun, and his gaze at Song Sijun changed from mild to cold, "Who on earth sent you?"

This made Song Sijun a little difficult.If you tell the truth that you have traveled through time, the other party will think that he is lying, and it is a very careless lie.

After some thought, Song Sijun said calmly, "It doesn't matter who I am or where I come from, but I can assure Master Xiang that I will not harm the Shen family or Lord Hou."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Just because I've been by Lord Hou's side for so long, nothing happened to him. It's also because of me that you can see the true face of the emperor."

Shen Huaqing reached out and landed on Song Sijun's neck, gently stroking the artery in the neck, "Do you know where this is?"

Song Sijun: "If the artery is cut open, it will bleed profusely and die."

"It seems that I have learned something from the Tai Hospital recently. Are you not afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid."

"It's a good thing to be afraid of death. Keeping you by Yinghan's side is a hidden danger. To be on the safe side, it's better to kill him."

The other party's words were definitely not a joke. After all, Shen Huaqing, who could be the head of a hundred officials and made the emperor fearful, couldn't be a little white rabbit.

Song Sijun: "Master Xiang killed me, how should I explain it to Lord Hou? Did I die by accident, or did I say I was a spy?" At this point, Shen Yinghan can only be brought out. "No matter what Xiang Ye said, as long as I die, Hou Ye will feel uncomfortable. His current body cannot withstand any blow."

Thinking of Shen Yinghan who was sick and weak, pity took the high ground in Shen Huaqing's heart after all, and he withdrew his hand.

Song Sijun breathed a sigh of relief, "I can swear to God, I will not hurt Lord Hou, nor will I do anything to offend the Shen family."

Shen Huaqing: "I never believe in oaths."

"Then I will use the conditions you promised me just now, please believe me?" Song Sijun took out the hot paper again, and looked at Shen Huaqing with a pleading face.

Shen Huaqing looked at the letter of commitment handed over by Song Sijun, "Your identity is suspicious, and this letter of promise is invalid."

"Master Xiang, is this playing tricks?"

Shen Huaqing raised her hand and touched Song Sijun's head, "Put it away."

After Song Sijun was slightly stunned, he put away the letter of commitment as he said, and went to see Shen Huaqing again. The other party returned to the seat just now and sat down, lowered his head and peeled the apple, returning to the appearance of a gentle elder before, "Hurry up, don't let Yinghan Worry."

"Master Xiang, do you believe me?"

Shen Huaqing shook her head, "As long as Yinghan is safe, you will be fine. If Yinghan has an accident, you can be buried with him. I will kill you too."

Song Sijun: ...

"Xiao Sijun, I know that the Eldest Princess also intends to let you be buried with her, but you have to remember that my method is different from that of the Eldest Princess."

Suddenly, Song Sijun's back felt cold, and his hairs stood on end.

Coming out of Shen Yinghan's room, Song Sijun vaguely felt a pair of eyes waiting for him to look at him, and when he looked over by instinct, he saw a black eagle crouching on a dead tree in the courtyard.

After one person and one bird looked at each other, the black eagle did not attack Song Sijun, but fluttered its wings lazily a few times, and then flew away.

The author's gossip: Uncle is a very good person, and he is also a relative and junior who really loves himself, so please don't hate him.

As for his uncle Gu Chengxuan, he felt a little bit of pity for Shen Yinghan, but only a little bit, he was a selfish person anyway.
