Shi Ling's expression did not change. Shen Xian was even more certain that something bad must have happened in the palace that made him feel bad, so he left the palace early.

Shi Ling seemed to be hesitating whether to say it or not. After a long time: "Shi Ying asked for marriage between her and Shen Yuanhe at the banquet."

Shen Xian was not too surprised. Shi Ying's admiration for her brother was almost overflowing. If she didn't express it, there would be a problem.

"Then what? Your Majesty agreed?"

Shi Ling shook his head: "Your brother refused."

Shen Xian frowned a little strangely: "My brother didn't agree? Why?"

Shi Ling shrugged and said innocently: "I'm not your brother, how would I know?"

But in my heart, I felt that Shen Yuanhe refused well.

If he were Shen Yuanhe, he would also reject Shi Ying.

Although she is my own niece, her brain is not inherited from her family at all.

Shen Xian held her face and thought.

"Is it possible that my brother has someone he likes? But I haven't heard him mention it."

At that time, Ying Ying must have been looking for life and death, but according to this girl's character, she probably forgot about Shen Yuanhe and looked at him as a man within two days.

So Shen Xian didn't really care.

Shi Ling saw her complexion changing, and the love in his heart became more and more uncontrollable. He suddenly approached, bent down and put his arms around her waist.

Shen Xian was overwhelmed by being held in his arms, and she didn't even dare to move.

"What's wrong?"

Shi Ling leaned on her shoulder with his eyes closed and said softly: "The palace lady has already made the wedding clothes. Can I have them delivered to you in two days?"

Shen Xian nodded: "Okay."

"How long until our wedding?"

"More than a month."

Shi Ling rubbed her shoulder with his chin in dissatisfaction: "It's so slow."

Shen Xian also felt that it was too fast. Many gold and silver jewelry had no time to be polished carefully. On her wedding day, she had to be exquisite and beautiful from head to toe.

As her wedding is approaching, Shen Xian has been very busy recently. She is either asking people to come to her to take care of her beautiful face, or she is going out to pick out beautiful clothes and pack them away.

On this day, Shen Xian was originally going to the west of the city to find a woman to cleanse her face, but she was told that all the carriages at home had left.

There are three carriages at home. One, Ye Zhen, went to Guoxiang Temple to burn incense early in the morning. One, Chongyuan, entered the palace. Who is the other one?

"Miss, this is the Crown Prince."

Although the Holy Father rewarded Shen Yuanhe with a house, he felt that he had little time to spend with his family in the past and now wanted to stay at home to fulfill his filial piety.

Shen Xian was surprised.

Isn’t it brother Xiu Mu today?

Shen Xian was so angry that she simply paid someone to come to her house.

However, Shen Yuanhe, who had used the carriage, did not know that his sister was complaining about him. Instead, he was still boating and drinking on the lake, enjoying himself very much.

He put down his wine glass and looked at the person in front of him jokingly: "Speaking of which, does the prince have to follow Ruan Ruan and call me brother?"

Shi Ling's face froze, and he picked up the wine glass to cover up his discomfort.

"This king calls you, do you dare to answer?"

Shen Yuanhe thought about that scene, shuddered, shook his head and said: "Forget it, I always feel that my life will be shortened."

Shi Ling then retracted his eyes and poured the wine into his mouth.

"How was your trip to Jiangsu?"

Shen Yuanhe smiled and said: "I have to thank the prince for giving me this opportunity. If the prince hadn't sorted out the position of minister, how could I have done it so quickly?"

Shi Ling lowered his eyes and stared at the wine stove without saying anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.

It was too hasty to completely trip up the Zhao family. His Majesty was reluctant to take action many times until Zhao Baolin bullied Shen Xian into giving him this opportunity.

Shen Yuanhe was in Jiangsu at the time and didn't know the inside story, but he vaguely knew something.

"Ruan Ruan has a simple temper. I'm afraid I still think you are angry because of her."

Shi Ling frowned and hurriedly wanted to drop the topic.

"What were discovered in Jiangsu."

Shen Yuanhe reluctantly withdrew his eyes, poured the brewed wine into the cup, and said slowly with the help of the hot air: "The Governor Han of Jiangsu has always been a coward and a timid person, and he dared to do such ridiculous things as defrauding the imperial court of official silver upon expiration of his term. I think maybe someone is guiding me from behind."

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Furthermore, the seizure of a Zhao Shangshu directly filled half of the treasury, but the Han Taishou asked for a lot of money from the court every year, and squeezed the people for money all the year round, but after confiscating it, there was very little, not even enough to repair the dam he destroyed. ."

Shi Ling immediately understood what he meant.

Prefect Han was a timid person, and for so many years he did not even dare to change the decoration of the mansion at will, for fear that someone would see the clues, but he would not have any money left if he did not squander it.

Where did the embezzled money go?

"He's giving money to people."

Both of them agreed with this answer and looked at each other in tacit understanding.

This person must have a higher status than Taishou Han, and he is even afraid of someone who has no choice but to help even at the risk of destroying the nine tribes.

Shen Yuanhe: "I've been reading the files of the Ministry of Household Affairs these days, and they're very messy. Many of the people named Zhao were thrown in, but that's not the one who had the accident on the winter hunt."

"By the way, have you found the Winter Hunting Assassin?"

Shi Ling raised his eyebrows and sneered as if he had thought of something: "We have clues, don't worry about it, just wait until they show their flaws."

The hull of the boat suddenly shook. Ah Feng looked at the sky and shouted loudly: "Master, it's going to rain soon."

Shi Ling turned to look at the gloomy sky outside the boat. There was also a cold wind blowing in, making a whining sound, as if someone was crying.

Shen Yuanhe stuck his head out and looked at the sweet dark clouds and frowned: "I'm afraid the rain will be heavy."

Shi Ling suppressed the tiredness in his eyes: "It's not small, but it won't last long and it will be over soon."

Shen Yuanhe nodded and touched Shi Ling's glass with his own: "Then I wish us success. Oh, by the way, although you and I are brothers, if you fail Ruan Ruan, I will not show mercy."

"I won't let you have this opportunity to do anything."

The two looked at each other and smiled, drank the wine in their glasses, stepped ashore and left.

The rain was pouring down, and even the road in front of me was blurred by the shower. The smoke fell like a waterfall without mercy, and all the pedestrians on the street were running towards their homes.

There was only one person standing alone on the street. Although there was an umbrella to cover him, the rain was so heavy that even the umbrella seemed a little flimsy.

"Princess, the rain is too heavy, let's go back to the palace!" The little palace maid raised her voice because she was afraid that Shi Ying couldn't hear her.

Shi Ying was trembling but insisted on shaking her head: "If I go back now, wouldn't my wait be in vain?"

She wanted to ask clearly why Shen Yuanhe didn't want to marry her!

And if Shen Yuanhe sees her and feels distressed now that she's been caught in the rain, she can take the opportunity to confess her love!

What a great opportunity!

The little palace maid didn't understand. She only knew that if Shi Ying got wet, her life would be in danger.

A carriage drove slowly through the heavy rain. The driver was so blinded by the heavy rain that he couldn't even open his eyes. He didn't notice a person running in front of him.

"Princess!"

Shen Yuanhe, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Stop the car!"
