    The summer resort is in the northwest, built near the Yinshan Mountains. If it doesn't rain, it can be reached in seven or eight days.

    This is Shuci¡¯s first time traveling far away. He sat on the carriage and looked out. The scenery along the way ranged from dense and flat woods to rolling hills to rugged and changeable rocks.

    The further north you go, the cooler the climate becomes, and the land under your feet gradually turns into grassland. In the distance, you can see horses, cattle and sheep, the sky is high, the clouds are clear, and the grass is low in the wind.

    Shu Ci was with Shen Yi's group. Because there were too few female relatives, except for her and a few maids, it was rare to ride in a car alone.

    During the afternoon break that day, she was taking a walk outside the official post office, and met Yan Xun head-on.

    "Brother Yan."

    He held an exquisite little wine bottle in his hand and smiled slightly: "Miss Yan, what a coincidence."

    "Yes." Shu Ci nodded at him, "What a coincidence, you are here too." Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei also participated in the ride this time.

    "I just got off my shift at the Imperial Palace." Yan Xun raised the pot of wine and smiled, "The reward I just received happens to be fruit wine. I can't drink it, so you can take it."

    Shen Yi was walking from somewhere else and saw the two of them chatting lively. He thought for a moment, then took a few steps back and hid behind the carriage.

    Yan Xun watched her put away the fruit wine, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "I saw Lieutenant Yan over there just now."

    "Really? How is my father?"

    He said it was very good, "I had a very good chat with some guards, like old acquaintances. Did Captain Yan also serve as a guard before?"

    The reason why we suspected that Yan Ze had the fragments in his hands was because it was found that he had been a guard guarding the imperial city more than ten years ago. Before the incident of the eldest princess, he was one of the few who was transferred from the guard army.  People from Jingwei.

    "I've never heard him mention this." Shuci mused, "As long as I can remember, my father has been on duty at Jingwei."

    He smiled thoughtfully and said without delving further, "So that's it."

    ¡°Either Yan Ze has been hiding it well over the years and has never aroused suspicion; or they have nothing to do with this matter, and it was just a coincidence that they were transferred to Jingwei.

    Of course, he himself prefers to believe the latter.

    Shen Yi was closing his eyes to rest, but he opened his eyes after hearing this.

    It is obvious that this person is making up the words in Shuci.

    But why did he ask about Yan Ze, and why did he ask her?  Xiao Yunhe has been looking for Bronze Lin, and Yan Xun is his lackey. Could it be that the Yan family has something to do with Bronze Lin?

    Just as he was about to continue listening, Yan Xun's conversation suddenly changed.

    "Have you ever talked about marriage with Fu Ming and Mr. Fu?"

    Why does it seem like everyone all over the world knows about this? Shuci smiled uncomfortably: "Yeah."

    He seemed to be hesitant and looked at her tentatively, "Then why didn't it work? Do you think his rank is not high enough?"

    There were too many reasons to tell the truth, so Shu Ci had to make up nonsense: "It's we don't get along."

    Hearing this, Yan Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "It's indeed a pity."

    "It's a pity"

    "But things like horoscopes are sometimes not so accurate. Whether a marriage is good or not depends on the two people being happy."

    Shuci nodded briefly: "Yes, you are right."

    Yan Xun lowered his eyes to look at her and said slowly: "Actually, I'm not that fond of horoscopes"

    "Um?"

    Shen Yi crossed his arms, frowned and pursed his lips, his chest breathing fluctuated, he couldn't tell whether he was angry or funny.

    He pressed his eyebrows and raised his hand to call over a girl standing next to him.

    Yan Xun asked about Yan Ze and Chen's daily preferences in Shuci. While he was still thinking about it, a maid suddenly walked up not far away.  You go over."

    "Pass it to me?" she said, looking at Yan Xun.

    The latter smiled easily and said, "If you have something to do, go and do your work. I have to go back too."

    She nodded as she was told, "Then I'll take my leave first." She then waved the pot of wine, "Thank you for the wine."

    Saying goodbye to Yan Xun, Shu Ci followed the maid back. Before he had walked a few steps, he saw Shen Yi leaning behind the carriage.

    "My lord, are you looking for me?"

    Seeing that she was still carrying the wine, Shen Yi glanced at her and suddenly didn't know what to say.

    "Can you just stay calm?"

    I was puzzled by Shu Ci and wanted to ask myself why I was so restless.  But due to the difference in status, I dare not refute him.; Going further to the west, there are high mountains and lofty mountains. The foot of the mountain is filled with thick fog, and people and animals are indistinguishable ten feet away. Shen Hao only sees the white deer jumping around in the fog, elegant and extraordinary.

    The assassination happened at this time. The first one to take action was the imperial guards who were following him. There were ten people in total. Five of them suddenly rebelled and killed several others with their swords. The incident happened too quickly. Everyone, including Shen  No one, including Hao, reacted.

    The two surviving guards tried their best to protect him back. What was unexpected was that there were still a large number of assassins lurking in the forest. These rebels were extremely numerous and were familiar with the surrounding terrain.  Shen Hao was outnumbered and was about to die. Horse hooves suddenly came from the thick fog. Xiao Yunhe led the army and arrived in time.

    The two sides fought, and after a fierce battle, the emperor was successfully rescued.

    Shen Hao was not seriously injured, only slightly injured, but due to excessive fright, he fell ill as soon as he returned to the villa.

    When Shen Yi went to see him, he was sleeping. There was a palace concubine waiting beside his bed, so he couldn't disturb him. He greeted the attendants and treated him as if he came to say hello.

    The assassination happened so strangely, and the so-called white deer was not his first time hunting here, and he had never heard of such a wild animal appearing nearby.

    It seems that it is necessary to go to the place where the crime occurred and take a look.

    Shen Yi came out of the villa and rushed to the hunting ground. Gao Yuan and several guards were talking. Seeing this, he hurriedly came up to lead his horse.

    "Your Majesty."

    When something happened to the emperor, there were twice as many guards nearby as usual. There were patrols everywhere and the guards were tight.

    Shen Yi asked him how the situation was, and Gao Yuan shook his head: "That forest has been sealed, and even we can't enter."

    "Blocked?" He frowned, "Blocked by who?"

    "It's Mr. Xiao."

    As soon as he finished speaking, a lazy and pleasant voice was heard behind him: "How come the prince is so free to come here? Unfortunately, something happened to the Holy One. I'm afraid I won't be able to hunt during this period. It's really disappointing."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of disdain, Shen Yi still had a smile on his lips. He turned over and got off the horse, "It turns out to be Mr. Xiao."

    Xiao Yunhe approached, bowed first, and then said politely, "It doesn't matter if you can't hunt wild animals. I have a few jugs of good wine here. Will the prince be willing to have a few drinks?"

    Shen Yi stroked the jade ring on his thumb and smiled without answering: "The emperor was assassinated, and Mr. Xiao was very happy. The rescue was really timely."

    There was something in his words, but Xiao Yunhe was not angry at all, "As ministers, of course we share your worries for you all the time. These rebels are insidious and cunning, and they may come back if they are not careful. They are very dangerous."

    Shen Yi sighed, "As you say, sir, the assassin hasn't been caught yet?"

    "Don't you know, Your Majesty?" Xiao Yunhe pursed his lips regretfully, "These people are not ordinary assassins. They can collude with the guards around the emperor, and have such sophisticated weapons and equipment. Their origins must be extraordinary."

    He pointed in the distance, and saw the mist shrouding the mountains not far away.

    The thieves took advantage of the thick fog that lingered here all year round as a cover to retreat into the mountains and forests. However, they were surrounded by a large army at the foot of the mountain, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

    Shen Yi smiled half-heartedly: "Those who have such means cannot be underestimated."

    "Your Majesty, please be careful." He suddenly lowered his voice and took a small step forward. "Some people in the court now suspect that it is you, Your Majesty, who is colluding with these traitors."

    "Oh, really?"

    Xiao Yunhe¡¯s eyes were gentle and he reminded him kindly: ¡°So, Your Majesty, you must never go near that mountain forest. If others find out, you won¡¯t be able to escape even if you jump into the Yellow River.¡±

    Shen Yi and him looked at each other and smiled tacitly: "What Mr. Xiao said is absolutely true."

    The news of the emperor's assassination had not yet reached Shuci's residence. She sat by the window to borrow the light, lowering her head to work on the flower bed.

    The little maid who was waiting for her came in from outside the door, "Miss Yan, there is a father-in-law looking for you outside."

    There were many maids and eunuchs in the palace, and Shu Ci had often encountered eunuchs delivering messages, so he put down his embroidery work and walked out.

    At the foot of the steps is a chamberlain wearing a red python trousers. He is about forty years old. Anyone who can wear this must be a well-established eunuch.

    She said hello politely.

    "Miss Yan, right?" The other party smiled and nodded, "The prince asked his servant to take you to the outside of the village. The carriage is ready. You can pack up."

    Outside the village, the carriage Thinking of Shen Yi's promise to her a few days ago, Shu Ci did not have the slightest doubt about it, "Okay, wait for me." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
