Chapter 428 'Reward me quickly!' 'Reward me quickly!'
Chapter 428 'Reward me quickly!' 'Reward me quickly!'
Shen Qionghua hurriedly trotted towards the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion.
Just like when I came here, I didn't meet anyone on the way. I walked out of the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion smoothly and jogged to the alley.
"Miss." Shaoyao, who had been waiting there, immediately came forward upon seeing this.
Seeing Shen Qionghua's panic, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
He was in a hurry, as if a ghost was chasing him.
Shen Qionghua panted heavily and did not answer Shaoyao. She took Shaoyao's hand and climbed into the carriage. After she was seated, she shouted to the coachman, "Hurry! Go back home!"
She had to make things clear with her mother before Xie Nanyuan came to propose marriage, otherwise...
The coachman received the order, whipped the horse whip, and the carriage galloped away like a sword.
……
After watching the carriage disappear at the alley entrance, Lin Ze, who was hiding in a tree not far away, jumped down.
He jumped twice on the spot before the coldness in his body dissipated.
The guard who had just spoken to Linze reappeared from nowhere and said, "Sir, it's freezing cold out here. Aren't you cold hiding in the tree?"
"Also, we just put people in there, what on earth is going on here?"
"What if the prince blames me later?"
This guard was just an ordinary guard in Prince Rui's Palace and was unaware of the inside story.
Linze and Ji Bei are Xie Nanyuan's right-hand men. They have been through life and death with Xie Nanyuan on the battlefield and hold official positions.
At the border, they are generals, and in the capital, they are subordinates of Xie Nanyuan and have the right to deploy some of the guards of Prince Rui's Palace.
So just now, even though he didn't know what Linze was going to do, the guard still did as Linze instructed and moved everyone away.
I just stayed here secretly.
He saw with his own eyes that Lin Ze ran into the mansion, jumped up and climbed up the tree.
Then a woman sneaked into the mansion, tiptoed in, and after hesitating for a while, walked towards the prince's bedroom.
I was so shocked that my eyes almost popped out.
He didn't know Shen Qionghua's identity, but he knew that the prince was not interested in women and didn't like women to get close to him. If this woman really went after the prince, and no one stopped her, but instead opened the door for her, he was afraid that...
He wanted to jump out and stop it at that time to avoid being punished by the prince later.
But after taking a step, he hesitated again.
He remembered that all this was Lin Ze's order. If this was Lin Ze's purpose, would it be bad if he stepped in to stop him?
Moreover, Linze is devoted to the prince. If this girl is not suitable, he will definitely not let her into the palace.
During this moment of hesitation, Shen Qionghua had already disappeared at the gate. It was too late to catch up and stop him.
I just ignored it. Anyway, if the prince blamed me later, Lin Ze would have to take the blame.
With this thought in mind, he and Linze hid behind a huge rock, one of them standing on a bare branch while the other stood in the cold wind.
After a long time, he saw the woman trotting out in a hurry.
Seeing that, his heart was lifted up.
Could it be that the palace is angry?
This was the first thought that came to his mind.
So when he saw Linze jumping down from the tree, he hurried forward to ask.
But Linze just saw Shen Qionghua fall into the trap and walk towards Xie Nanyuan's house, still proud of his own wit.
But when he saw Shen Qionghua running out in a hurry, his heart sank again.
Hearing the guard's question at this moment, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: He wasn't watching it on the scene, how could he know what happened.
Lin Ze was unsure, but he had to hold on in front of the guards in the mansion.
He pretended to be deep and said, "How can we, as subordinates, pry into the affairs of the prince?"
"You did a great job today. Keep your mind at ease. I will bear all the consequences alone. You can go back first."
He waved.
The guard was delighted when he heard this, as if he had been pardoned. He said happily, "Yes, sir."
Then he ran away at such a speed that it seemed as if he would be dragged into the battle if he stayed any longer.
Linze: “…”
If I tell you to leave, will you really leave?
Are you really going to let him bear it alone?
You don't even try to refuse?
Everyone had already left, and Linze didn't have the nerve to call them back.
Firstly, it had nothing to do with him, and he was just following his orders. Secondly, he still had to have some dignity. He was a big shot in the Prince Rui's Mansion, so he had to keep his word.
I just don't know how the prince and Miss Shen talked.
Miss Shen, please don't cheat me!
With a tragic mood, Lin Ze walked towards Xie Nanyuan's residence.
After walking this road for so many years, Linze has never felt that this road is so tortuous and short as it is today.
Even though his steps were very small, he still felt like he had arrived.
The yard was very quiet, but Linze's heart was beating happily.
He raised his foot and gently approached the door. The door was not closed, leaving a gap.
Linze hesitated for a moment, then decided to wait and see what the situation was.
He quietly moved closer, squinted his eyes and saw through the crack in the door that Xie Nanyuan was sitting at the table, holding a bright yellow object that looked like an imperial edict in his hand and grinning foolishly.
His brows were bright, his face was gentle, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched backwards.
This is... a good conversation?
Linze breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Nanyuan was admiring the name written by Shen Qionghua on the imperial edict, and he couldn't contain his joy.
Suddenly, he sensed a prying gaze, and his eyes immediately turned sharp, sweeping over like a blade, and he shouted sternly: "Who is it!"
Linze: “…”
Lin Ze opened the door with a flattering smile on his face: "Your Majesty, it's your subordinate."
When Xie Nanyuan saw that it was Linze, his eyes gradually softened.
He put away the imperial edict and hid it in his arms, frowning and asking, "What's the matter?"
Well, this imperial decree on the right to divorce a husband concerns my own reputation, so it’s better not to let irrelevant people know about it.
Lin Ze, an unrelated person, was not aware of it at all. He followed Xie Nanyuan's movements and walked closer, and happened to see the pattern of auspicious clouds and cranes on the bright yellow imperial edict.
Hey, it actually is an imperial edict.
Could it be that the emperor has something else to instruct the prince to do?
Thinking of this, Lin Ze asked.
Xie Nanyuan's expression hardened a little when he heard this. He looked at Lin Ze with unkind eyes and uttered four words softly with his thin lips, "What does it have to do with you?"
Linze: “…”
I don't know why I feel a little sad.
Fortunately, Linze just asked casually and did not take it to heart. Anyway, he, Ji Bei and the prince were almost inseparable. If the emperor had any instructions, he would know sooner or later.
Linze put the imperial edict behind his mind and turned to the "real business".
He rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty, did you...talk to Miss Shen well?"
Miss Shen was able to enter Prince Rui's Mansion without any hindrance and successfully find the prince's room without alarming anyone. This matter does not stand up to scrutiny at all. As long as you think about it carefully, you will know that there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.
Rather than waiting for the prince to investigate, it would be better for him to admit it voluntarily.
The prince seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. I believe he and Miss Shen must have been very affectionate and confided in each other just now.
Then he, the person who promoted and helped the two to meet, might not only not be punished, but also be rewarded by the prince.
This is really... a pleasant surprise!
When Lin Ze thought of the monthly silver he had been fined in the past two years, excitement flashed in his eyes.
He was finally able to recover some blood.
When Xie Nanyuan heard this, he thought of the imperial edict in his arms, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
Seeing this, Lin Ze had everything he wanted to understand. Thinking of the silver that was about to come into his hands, he suddenly laughed like a mouse that had stolen rice.
The smile on his face looked very obscene to Xie Nanyuan.
Xie Nanyuan slowly said: "You did a good job on this matter..."
Lin Ze immediately waved his hands cheerfully and said, "Hey, Your Majesty, this is what I should do. It was Miss Shen who was worried about you and lingered in front of the palace gate. I was just following the trend. You don't need to reward me for this. No, I really don't need to."
She said she didn't need it, but her face was actually smiling like a flower, as if her whole body was saying, "Give me a reward!" "Give me a reward!"
Xie Nanyuan: "..."
It would have been fine if Lin Ze didn't mention it, but when Xie Nanyuan mentioned it, he remembered something.
Just now, it seemed like I almost took the blame for him?
Although he did it for his own sake, he almost caused Qionghua to misunderstand him.
