Chapter 141: A Good Show in Kyoto
After Shen Jiayu's last shovel, the passage was finally dug through.
The scene on the opposite side gradually appeared. Shen Jiayu threw the shovel on the ground and quickly crossed the passage.
After entering the courtyard, she hurried to the west courtyard.
Shen Qinghe did not go out, but stayed in the yard. He only sent the rest of the people out to inquire about the news. As soon as Shen Jiayu entered, he was discovered by him.
"You're finally back. Shen Yi and I have been waiting for you to come back." Shen Qinghe was relieved to see Shen Jiayu return safely.
That day, he received a hint from Shen Jiayu's eyes, and after performing a scene with Shen Jiayu, he returned to the room.
Sure enough, Shen Jiayu left him a letter and hid it under the table.
Shen Qinghe opened it and saw that Shen Jiayu's plan was all there. She didn't believe what Song Yuanbai said, but the other party asked her to go out, so she had to go once. She also suspected that among the maids and servants in the East Courtyard, there were people sent by Song Yuanbai or others.
Their actions may have been exposed, and in order not to arouse Song Yuanbai's suspicion, they had to pretend to leave the capital.
She promised to rejoin them soon.
Now that Shen Qinghe had seen her, her troubled heart finally settled down a little.
Shen Jiayu got straight to the point and said, "Master Lingfeng still hasn't come back, right? I left Kyoto and sent messages to the secret sentries that you left along the way, but I don't know if they can successfully deliver them to you."
Shen Qinghe took her hand and walked into the room, only to find that the door was closed.
"He didn't come back. I'm afraid something really happened. There has been no news from Lord Zhao Ji. Under normal circumstances, there should be a reply in two or three days."
He was also confused and worried, but he couldn't make any decisions on his own.
Shen Jiayu sat down, took a deep breath, thought for a while and continued, "I hope they are safe. Since the young master asked us to stay here, big brother, remember to keep an eye on the people in this yard and treat me as if I had never been back. I came back this time to make you feel more at ease. Don't spread any news in Kyoto recently."
"The situation in Kyoto is about to change. It's not safe. There has been no news from the palace recently. Is there any unusual movement from the Third Prince?"
She frowned and lowered her head in thought.
Shen Qinghe thought carefully about the news during this period, was silent for a while, and told Shen Jiayu all the information he had obtained.
"Well, I will take good care of it. There is news from the palace that the emperor is seriously ill, and the morning court has been cancelled. The third and fifth princes have entered the palace. The crown prince has been living in the palace, so he is also there. My companions who inquired about it said that he was attending to the sick, but I feel something is wrong. The palace is too peaceful, while people outside the palace are restless."
Shen Jiayu: "I'm afraid that Yunli Kingdom will have to change its ruler. We can't let down our guard at this critical moment. I can't stay for too long. I'm leaving now. The next time we meet may be when you return. Don't worry about me."
Shen Qinghe nodded and protected Shen Jiayu as they went out.
After coming out of the secret passage and walking back to the street, Shen Jiayu turned into the most ordinary country woman again. Nothing unusual was found along the way. She bought some daily necessities and vegetables and returned to the mountains.
Late at night, Shen Jiayu couldn't sleep, so he went out and sat on a rock outside looking at the stars in the sky.
The stars can only be seen in books, and are easily invisible at other times.
She missed being alone a little. After being together for so long, she couldn't help but worry about the other person.
This person is not only what she thinks about in her heart, but also the person she interacts with on a daily basis.
Although I was always scared by him when I first came, after getting to know him for a long time, I felt that he was nothing special. He was just a poor man who carried a deep hatred.
"Ah... I hope everything goes well for you. Believe what I say, be a good person, and don't turn evil. Once you get your revenge, everything will be fine. And I should go back. If I stay any longer, it will be autumn soon."
Shen Jiayu looked at the starry sky and muttered to himself.
The person she was muttering about sneezed in Qinghe City, and almost blew away the words he had just written on the tattered desk.
Wen Xiangzhu has been in Qinghe City for some time. He is a supervisor during the day, fighting with Chen Muke, and at the same time he has to be on guard against the fourth prince Qi Puyan.
I also had to read books at night and recognize all the words in the notebook written by Shen Jiayu.
The next time he sees those text fragments, he will probably be able to recognize some of them.
Slowly unveil the mystery of Shen Jiayu, and then you will know what kind of person she is.
Zhao Ji came in with a bowl of medicine and carefully placed it on the desk. "Sir, drink some soup. You haven't eaten much all day."
He put down the paper and pen in his hand, and recalled all the characters he had learned today in his mind. He would write them out from memory later. In a few days, he would finish learning a few characters with strange strokes.
It's time for him to go back, as there's still a good show waiting for them in Kyoto. The three of them are going back to watch the fun.
Wen Xiangzhu picked up the soup and drank it in one gulp. He turned to look at Zhao Ji and said, "Take a look at the news the Fifth Prince sent yesterday."
Zhao Ji knew what news he was talking about. He was the one who brought the news. Without Wen Xiangzhu's permission, he was not qualified to read it. Now that Wen Xiangzhu asked him to read it, Zhao Ji could read it.
Zhao Ji's eyes widened, a trace of shock flashed across his face, "Sir, could this be a trick? Who actually fell for it?"
Wen Xiangzhu had never told Zhao Ji the reasons for many of his plans, so it was normal that he didn't know.
Wen Xiangzhu narrowed his eyes, resting one hand on the desk, and said slowly: "No, we have leverage over each other. It's easy for him to kill me. Of course, if I tell other people about what he did, he will die quickly, but we both need each other. He's not stupid."
He continued, "Let Lingfeng go back. The fish that have been caught will be unable to hold back and bite the hook. If he doesn't go back, the people in the courtyard..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ji became more confident, "Don't worry, the people in the courtyard will definitely be obedient and stay here honestly."
Wen Xiangzhu snorted coldly, "Have you forgotten Shen Jiayu? She is not only our person, but also mine now. If someone wants to make trouble, they will start with her. I hope she is smart."
When Zhao Ji heard this, he immediately wanted to take back what he had just said. Shen Jiayu used to be a smart person, but that might not be the case now.
What's more, her identity is very special. She is Wen Xiangzhu's first wife.
"Yes, I will go find Lingfeng right away. Do I need to go back as well?" Zhao Ji asked doubtfully.
Wen Xiangzhu waved his hand and handed him the bowl of soup, "Go back."
Zhao Ji took the bowl of soup, then left and returned to Kyoto with Ling Feng overnight.
It's time for them to go back and clean up the matter. What the young master has been planning for many years should come to an end.
The plan could not keep up with the changes, and they encountered uninvited guests on the way back. Two people who should not be on the road appeared.
