wealthy queen

Chapter 105 Shen Xiao's accident in Shenyang

The rain lasted for more than 20 days, and Tianmen College, which had just started school, had another 20-day vacation. In addition, it was inconvenient to travel during the rainy day. A group of teenagers in their [-]th and [-]th years had not seen each other for a long time. After teasing Xiang Zhuo, Everyone talked about their own things, and occasionally some jokes broke out, and the atmosphere has never been cold.

"Speaking cool, you really cured King Qingping? When I heard that the emperor gave you a marriage, I was terribly worried. The emperor was simply cheating people. It's a pity that my father and elder brother wouldn't let me go out, otherwise I would You came here a long time ago, fortunately you have superb medical skills and cured King Qingping, otherwise what if you become a princess? Your whole life will be ruined."

During the chat, Xiang Zhuo finally turned to the main topic. This is the main reason why they met today. As friends, they were worried about him, but as the eldest sons of a big family, they often couldn't act rashly.

"Grandpa went to see King Qingping with the emperor that day, and when he came back, his complexion was not good. Father and the others were worried that something serious would happen. I didn't expect to hear that the emperor gave you and King Qingping a marriage in the middle of the night."

Xie Yan couldn't help but sighed softly, the emperor did not act kindly in this matter, but as the family members of his courtiers, no matter how much they have opinions, they can't say it casually.

"That's right, my father told me at the time, it's a pity for you."

Yang Tianyu followed closely, and the rest of Wei Tan and Zhao Hong looked at each other, but they were silent. There are some things that they all know, but they can't say anything casually. Involve the whole family.

"What are you doing? Isn't this all over?"

Seeing that the atmosphere became heavy in an instant, Shen Liang, the protagonist, smiled and said: "God has eyes, and good people will be rewarded with good things. King Qingping contributed a lot to the Wangyuecheng incident this time, so what the hell?" Maybe let him die young? Now that he has awakened and his body is recovering, shouldn’t you be happy for me? When I marry into the palace and become Princess Qingping, you will salute me when you see me gone."

"..."

Do you dare to thicken your skin?

The group of people who were depressed because of his matter suddenly became speechless. Although what he said was indeed the truth, as long as they did not marry into the Tian family in the future, they would really need to salute when they saw him, but it would be unavoidable for him to say this. It's so shameless.

"Yes, yes, you are Princess Qingping, with a noble status, can I give you a salute as the head office, please?

Xiang Zhuo was the first to come back to his senses, rolled his eyes, got up and greeted him, everyone couldn't help laughing, but Shen Liang pretended to be serious, and waved his right hand imposingly: "Little Zhuozi, please sit down." .”

"Screw you……"

"Ha ha……"

The words "Xiaozhuozi" instantly ignited Xiang Zhuo, and the rest of the people burst into laughter. Even their servants couldn't hold back, and they kept shaking their heads and shoulders.

"But Liangliang, it's a good destination for you to marry King Qingping."

After the laughter, Xiang Zhuo said with some disappointment that he had admired Jing Xiran since he was a child. When he learned that he and Huaiyanghou went to Wangyue City to support General Ling, he impulsively told his father and brother that he wanted to marry Jing Xiran. Regarding the matter of Jing Xiran, who knew that his father and brother, who had always loved him, changed their expressions drastically, and ordered him not to mention it again, without even thinking about it. For the first time, he felt confused and helpless about the future.

In fact, it’s not just him, everyone here is confused about their own marriages. Their noble identities doom them not to have the right to marry independently. When the emperor bestows marriage, the emperor often sacrifices their happiness in order to balance the government. If he is unlucky, he may be called into the harem by him and trapped in the deep walled palace for the rest of his life.

"You'll have a good home too."

Thinking about what happened to him in his previous life, Shen Liang said out of conscience that the second concubine would pass away soon, and Xiang Zhuo was married to the second prince. His temperament was already out of character, how could he endure the darkness in the backyard of the Tian Family? Machiavellian, tortured to death within two years.

"Hopefully."

Xiang Zhuo bowed his head in depression, and since there were Xie Yan and others present, Shen Liang couldn't bring out Jing Xiran to comfort him, so he could only say weakly: "The Marquis of Lin'an and His Royal Highness have always loved you and will not let you If you are wronged, don't worry so much."

"What Liangliang said is very true. Thinking too much will not help. Now that we are still free, we can be as happy as we want."

Yang Tianyu, who always liked to tease him, also comforted him in a rare way. In fact, after experiencing the Shenliang incident, his father and the others have already put the matter of choosing a son-in-law for him on the agenda. Yes, if they wait until the emperor bestows the marriage, they will be left with nothing.

"Stop talking about this, it's really uncomfortable, Liang Liang, tell me about you and King Qingping."

Seeing this, Wei Tan quickly stood up to smooth things over, and Shen Liang said angrily, "I said, why are you so curious? With this skill, why don't you care more about the disaster situation among the people? Now even the imperial city has flooded with a large number of refugees. Other places are probably more serious."

"It's true, the rain lasted for more than 20 days at a time, and I don't know when it will stop."

Xie Yan, who has always been more concerned about these things, turned his head to look at the rain outside, his brows could not hide his sadness, but unfortunately he is a Shuanger, and the Daqing Law clearly stipulates that Shuanger cannot be an official, otherwise he will definitely be a man serving the country and the people Good officer.

"If there is no accident, it should stop in the next few days."

"Oh? How do you know?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan looked at him suspiciously, and Shen Liang smiled slightly: "Have you forgotten the Hui'an monk who predicted the rain? He said it all. I heard it from the prince's guard. He said The rain will stop within seven days at most, and whether the Moon City dam can be stabilized and whether the disaster will get worse depends on the efforts of the last few days."

"It would be great if that were the case."

Shen Liang's words can be false, Xie Yan and others are also convinced, after all, Huian did predict the heavy rain, didn't he?Now his reputation has already spread among the people, and the people respect him as a holy monk. It is said that even the emperor ordered him to enter the palace and make him a national teacher, but Hui'an refused. His reason was that he wanted to stay in the palace. Wangyuecheng prayed for the people, and the emperor did not pursue him for disrespecting the order, but only asked him to wait for the disaster to pass, and return to Beijing with Huaiyang Hou and Ling Wei.

"What's good? The real difficulties are just beginning."

The national treasury is not enough to make ends meet, and it is empty. Where will the money come from to help the victims?

"That's right. At that time, we may call on everyone to donate property again."

Xie Yan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and the rest of the people were also worried. At this time, Shen Liang wouldn't make himself look too different, but just took a few sips of the hot tea next to him, and didn't agree with anything.

"No, it's not good, it's not good..."

Just when they were thinking about finding a brighter topic, let alone those heavy things, the concierge suddenly rushed in. Seeing that Shen Liang was sitting high on the main seat, his footsteps stopped abruptly, not knowing what to do It's still time to retreat, or Shen Liang took the initiative to say: "As servants of the Hou Mansion, didn't Mrs. Hou teach you not to panic when you encounter problems before? What happened?"

"This……"

The concierge looked at Xie Yan and the others apprehensively, and looked at Shen Liang, hesitating to speak, until Sun Jing brought people over, and he stammered: "Report to Aunt Sun, someone came to report just now, the second young master and the fourth young master He was taken away by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"what?"

Everyone present couldn't help being shocked, but no one noticed that there was a flash of coldness in Shen Liang's eyes.

"Please explain clearly, what's going on? Aren't the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master studying well in the Imperial College? Why were they suddenly arrested by the Ministry of Punishment?"

After calming down a little bit to hide her excitement, Sun Jing put on the demeanor of a wife as calmly as possible. Liu Shuhan's son was arrested?How can this be?But whoever is an official doesn't know that Shen Xiao is the second son of Lord Hou?How dare you arrest people casually?Unless, he really committed something so big that he couldn't even wipe off Lord Hou's face. If so, then God really has eyes.

"This... the servant doesn't know either. The people who came here only said that the leader is Duanjun Wang. They went directly to the Imperial College to arrest them. Even Lord Hou didn't know."

The concierge looked perplexed. At first he thought the reporter was joking, but when he came to his senses, the other party had disappeared, and he hurried in to report after realizing something was wrong.

"Since Prince Duan personally arrested people, it must be because of the fraud case in the scientific examination last year."

Shen Liang said while waving his hand to let the doorman back down, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sun Jing's uncontrollable excited face, and Shen Liang frowned almost imperceptibly: "Aunt Sun, don't need to be afraid, you need to inform Lord Hou, Mrs. Hou and the old man about this matter as soon as possible." people."

"Ah? Yes, I'll let someone go. I'm sorry for neglecting everyone. Let me leave first."

As soon as he said it, Sun Jing remembered where she was, hurriedly concealed her inner joy, and greeted Xie Yan and others who had stood up before taking them away in a hurry.

"I remember last year that Shen Xiao and Shen Yang were the seventh in the top two and the top 20 respectively. Could it be that these were all obtained by bribing the chief examiner? Then why don't they just get into the top three?"

Xie Yan and others stepped forward one after another. They probably still had some impressions of Shen Xiao Shenyang's scientific examination results last year.

"The top three are ordered by the emperor himself, unless they also bribed the emperor."

Xiang Zhuo, who has never been used to them, curled his lips, and his words were full of sarcasm. Yang Tianyu, the son of the minister of the Ministry of punishment, said in a concentrated voice: "The scientific examination fraud case is not only linked to whether the queen can rest in peace, but the further down the line Check, the more involved, the more Shen Xiao and Shen Yang are involved, I am afraid that even Lord Hou will find it difficult to protect them."

"That depends on whether they really bribed the chief examiner, Tianyu, Xie Yan, I'm afraid there will be a ruckus in the mansion later, your identities are too sensitive, let's stop our gathering today."

Turning around, Shen Liang looked at them separately. Shen Xiao is Liu Shuhan's only son. When he learned that he was sent to prison, he was afraid that the world would be turned upside down, and there was no one in the second room. Lantern, they will only make things difficult if they continue to stay here.

"Well, let's say goodbye first. If the rain really stops in a few days, we will meet again at the academy."

Knowing that Shen Liang was doing it for their own good, and also knowing that Shen Liang and Shen Xiao and Shen Yang had always been at odds, Xie Yan and the others did not insist, they clasped their fists and prepared to leave.

"Lei Zhen, help me send them out."

Under Shen Liang's order, Lei Zhen personally sent them away, and Shen Liang stood at the entrance of the hall until their figures disappeared into the rain.
