Chapter 50

Si He took advantage of the situation and turned his head, only to see a man in blue staring at him in a daze.

"You, you're Si He? You're not dead?!" Jian Jinshan ran up in surprise, and hugged Si He, ignoring Shang Rusheng, who was standing by the side, incoherently speaking excitedly, almost bursting into tears, " You are not dead, Brother He! We all thought you would never come back!"

Si He got a headache from being shaken by Jian Jinshan. He helped Jian Jinshan's arm, and said with a smile, "I was rescued by an expert, and I got my life back. What about you, why are you here?"

"Me, I came with my father." Jian Jinshan's father is a famous salt merchant in Chengguo. There may be other reasons for coming to Yuan this time. Seeing that Jian Jinshan didn't say anything, Si He felt embarrassed to ask again. .

"Sihe, is this your friend?" Shang Rusheng, who was left on the sidelines, saw this, and said with a smile: "Then you guys talk first, I'll go around and come to Quansheng Building in the evening and I'll treat you to dinner."

Si He hurriedly said: "Eldest Imperial Lady, this is not acceptable." If you want to treat guests, he has to come.

"Forget it, you guys are in my Linyuan, so of course I'm the host. I'll go to Qiguo to play in a few days, so you have to treat me to something delicious." Shang Rusheng waved to the two of them, and then turned back. Started to walk leisurely.

Seeing Shang Rusheng walking away, Jian Jinshan approached him, bumped into him maliciously and asked, "What? You know the eldest princess?" He has been traveling with his father to Linyuan and Chengguo for two years. I still recognize Princess Linyuan.

"It doesn't count..." Si He looked back, and thought it would be more appropriate to find a teahouse to chat, "This place is not suitable for small talk, you should find a place."

……

***

Princess Xile has her own private house. Perhaps King Wen really feels guilty, and he also feels sorry for the descendants of Marquis Anping. For all the ceremonies arranged by Princess Xile, he is about to catch up with the princess in the palace.

Ji Wanghuai was planning to go back to his Prince Yu's mansion, but he suddenly stretched out a hand to grab his sleeve on the way, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the Princess Xile again.

"What's the matter, princess?" Ji Wanghuai asked politely, and pulled the sleeve out of Princess Xile's hand without any trace.

"I've seen King Yu—" the maidservant next to Princess Xile said respectfully, "Your Majesty said that the princess is not very familiar with Qi Kingdom, so please trouble King Yu to lead the princess to the house."

Coincidentally, this house is also next door to Prince Yu's Mansion.

Ji Wanghuai even suspected that all of this was arranged by King Wen, with the purpose of entrusting the princess to himself.

"Then princess, let's go with the king." Ji Wanghuai's tall steps are also big, and the master of Xile County can only trot to keep up. Ji Wanghuai saw that the maid's hair decoration was not like that of Qiguo's palace, He couldn't help frowning and asked: "Are you the maid brought back from Linyuan by your princess?"

"Back to King Yu, this servant has been with the princess since childhood." The maid replied with a smile, "The princess has lived in Linyuan since she was a child, and she doesn't know the rules of Qiguo very well. King Yu forgive me."

Ji Wanghuai nodded, and casually asked: "How long is the Princess Fang?"

The maid hesitated for a while, and secretly looked at Princess Xile, Ji Wanghuai noticed this little move, and he looked at the princess calmly, but Princess Xile was calmer than her maid, seeing Ji Wanghuai looked at her intentionally or unintentionally, and she began to sign with a smile.

Seeing that Ji Wanghuai didn't understand, Princess Xile directly took Ji Wanghuai's hand, smiled and wrote two words in the palm of his hand.

--nineteen

Well, as big as Si He.

At this moment, Ji Wanghuai began to miss Si He again.

Princess Xile raised her eyes with a slight smile, with a peach blossom in the corner of her eyes, while she withdrew her hand, she gently scratched Ji Wanghuai's palm with her nails.

Ji Wanghuai's eyes sank, but in the eyes of Princess Xile, it had another meaning.

"Princess, let's get on the sedan chair." Princess Xile's red-curtained sedan chair was already waiting outside the palace, Ji Wanghuai coughed lightly, turned and left, and went to his own sedan chair.

Just happened to meet Yu Jiang who was waiting outside the sedan chair, and seeing him coming, he frowned and asked, "My lord, is that the granddaughter of Marquis Anping, Princess Xile?"

"En." Ji Wanghuai nodded, and changed the topic: "Is there any news about Si He recently?"

"No." Yu Jiang shook his head.

Seeing this, Ji Wanghuai became even more irritable when he thought of the actions of the Princess Xile just now, "Then go back to the mansion first, and take the princess to see the house."

……

"You mean, you're going to be the prince's son-in-law?" Jian Jinshan exclaimed in disbelief, completely forgetting that they were in a teahouse and not in his own courtyard.

Everything he encountered today was beyond his imagination.

No matter what, he couldn't connect Princess Linyuan with Si He.

"Keep down—" Si He pulled him back and made a gesture of hissing, then Jian Jinshan asked in a low voice: "Then do you still want to go back to Chengguo?"

"Sifu's house has been ransacked now, if we go back, Lu Yu will not let us go." Si He said lightly.

Jian Jinshan's heart moved slightly, but he still sighed.

Before, when they learned that Si He had died, they were all planning to go to the mansion to comfort the elders, but they didn't expect that in just a few days, the news that the Si mansion had been sealed came out.

The whereabouts of the people in the Sifu were unknown, and this group of young masters wanted to search for it, but they were so used to idleness that they couldn't do it for a while.

"Then you..." Jian Jinshan didn't know how to speak for a while, and he also heard some of Chengguo's remarks about Si He.

But he also understood that Si He was not the kind of collaborator and traitor they said at all, but his voice was too small, no one cared about his words at all.

"Is Chengguo okay now?" Si He asked with a smile, not planning to spend too much time talking about him.

"Not very good." Jian Jinshan hesitated for a while, then shook his head, "Now that Lu Yu has raised taxes and recruited troops, the common people are starting to feel overwhelmed."

He was also not used to calling Lu Yu the new emperor, so naturally he blurted out.

"Conscription?" Si He frowned slightly, it seemed that everything the eldest princess said was true.

But if Chengguo wants to attack Linyuan, it should not be Lu Yu's idea, maybe it is Guangbai's plan.

"Sihe, are you really a magician?" Jian Jinshan scratched his head, a little out of habit, "Why can't you tell it on weekdays?"

"Oh, I'll show you my hand when I have a chance in the future!" Si He patted him on the shoulder, "By the way, don't think about it, I have nothing to do with the eldest princess at all."

Jian Jinshan chuckled, "I know, I know!"

The two talked about other things, and when they got excited, they couldn't help laughing.

……

In fact, Shang Rusheng didn't go far, he was sitting next to the two of them.

Yesterday when Granny Yaotai invited Si He to the bedroom, she was also on the roof.

Since she was a child, this eldest princess liked to eavesdrop on corners. She not only witnessed some unknown intimate matters between her father and her mother, but also secretly heard a lot of royal gossip.

——For example, Jiang Yunxiu, the star official of Linyuan, and Princess Hui'an both fell in love with the same man.

Shang Rusheng curled his mouth lightly, playing with the purple sand teacup in his dexterous jade hands over and over again.

Of all the princes and daughters in Linyuan Palace, Shang Rusheng has already known who the eldest princess likes the most.This is why Princess Hui'an wanted to match the two with all her heart.

Unlike the eldest princess, Jiang Yunxiu is not only interested in Shang Rusheng, but also the forces behind her.Even she also wants to give Si He the best.

"So you used me as a springboard." Shang Rusheng muttered, and suddenly heard Si He and Jian Jinshan next door talking about a new topic, she couldn't help but prick up her ears to eavesdrop.

"Si He, besides Linyuan, where do you live now?" Jian Jinshan was really anxious about Si He's recent situation.

"Prince Yu's Mansion in Qiguo." Si He poured himself a cup of tea and said self-consciously.

"Prince Yu and Concubine Yu live in the mansion, what do you look like as an outsider?"

"Let's talk about it when the time comes, anyway, I'm going home in a few days." Si He replied perfunctorily, "Let's see again, let's see again."

"Eh?" Even Jian Jinshan felt that something was wrong, "What's wrong with you? Why do you seem to be unhappy every time you talk about King Yu?"

"I'm happy." Si He grinned and said, "Besides, everything about him has nothing to do with me."

This inexplicable anger made Jian Jinshan feel puzzled, Si He obviously had emotions, what a coincidence, it was all his fault.

Si He was also furious, it had been several days, why Ji Wanghuai didn't know to send him a single letter, and he didn't know what he was busy with all day long, and whether there were any other little girls who gave him a sneak peek.

Although Jian Jinshan didn't understand the reason for this, Shang Rusheng was a woman after all, and she guessed about all these twists and turns.

Could it be... She wondered in her heart, could it be that Si He had something to do with that King Yu?

"By the way, when did you say you were going back to Qi Country?" Jian Jinshan asked again, "Maybe we can still be together."

"No." Si He shook his head, he went to Qiguo this time, not only himself, but also Shang Rusheng.

Shang Rusheng was sent as an envoy to start the country at the will of Lord Linyuan, for the purpose of inheriting the country.

"Alright then..." Jian Jinshan said hastily again, "But I will come to Qiguo to find you!"

"I know I know!" Si He joked with a smile.

The closer it was to the day of returning to Qiguo, the more uneasy he felt.

I always feel that something happened to Ji Wanghuai.

What's wrong?
