Chapter 374 Is this a win?
"Yes, he was raised by his daughter, so he must have feelings for her."
"And the Su family's matter. What happened to the Queen? Why did Marquis Su go to the border?"
Shen Wang felt relieved.
He held Yan Lin for a while and then handed him over to the wet nurse.
Seems very uncomfortable.
But he was very perceptive about what was happening in the court and seemed to have noticed something.
Where should I start?
Shen Zhishu was silent for a moment.
"Father, this is about the royal family, so there are some things that I cannot talk to you about. But if it is about Marquis Su, I hope you can pay more attention to the generals who have close contact with Marquis Su, monitor their every move, and report to the emperor privately if there is anything unusual."
Shen Wang's eyes narrowed coldly.
With many years of experience in handling cases, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Did he deliberately send Su Junhou away?
After a while, Shen's mother came out with the letter.
A handwritten letter from Xiaodie.
I need to deal with the grudges in the martial arts world myself, don't worry.
It was just a simple line of words, and it seemed to have been written quite suddenly, with the characters all written in a sloppy manner.
Shen Zhishu flipped through the pages and read for quite a while.
"I've looked at it for a long time and there shouldn't be any problem. I also checked her previous handwriting and it's definitely written by her."
Seeing that she was worried, Shen's mother comforted her.
That girl is very capable and nothing will happen to her easily.
"But if it's a matter of martial arts, she usually won't tell me."
There is nothing wrong with the handwriting.
But Shen Zhishu was still worried.
"Unless she encounters something very dangerous, perhaps...she won't be able to come back safely."
It is more likely that the situation was critical and this sloppy handwriting was written under duress.
That night she was bewitched and disappeared.
She always felt that Xiaodie had an accident.
"I will try to trace the origin of this letter. Your mother and your eldest brother have many friends in the underworld, so we can also find out if she is in the underworld."
Shen Wang spoke calmly.
"Mother, I remember that we invited many martial arts masters to our house. There are masters in various fields. I wonder... Is the gentleman who made the poison still here?"
When Shen's mother heard this, she became upset.
Subconsciously, I wanted to ask her, why did you suddenly need this vile poison when you were living well in the palace?
"I just want to ask something, don't worry, mother."
She had no intention of using poison.
The gentleman who made the drugs is indeed still there.
Today, the Shen family is wealthy and powerful. They don’t have much else, but they have a lot of money, so they support all the talented and righteous people.
It will also help Shen Wang solve the case.
Soon, Shen Zhishu met the old gentleman.
His hair was gray, he was skinny, he couldn't even stand up straight, and his face was covered with freckles. The marks were very deep, as if he had been poisoned.
"I have met the virtuous concubine."
He walked over tremblingly, leaning on a cane.
"No need to be so polite, old sir. I have some questions to ask you today. Please take a seat."
She stood up to greet him.
But I still felt fear towards those who used poison, and couldn't help but stay away from them.
"In the martial arts world, everyone calls me Ah Gui. If you don't mind, you can call me by my humble name."
The old man was probably weak, and his body was shaking slightly when he sat down.
"Has Grandpa Ghost always been alone?"
Shen Zhishu smiled gently, sat next to him, and chatted with him about family matters.
The old man's cloudy eyes seemed to light up slightly.
“It wasn’t before…”
chatted all afternoon.
It was not until the evening that Shen Zhishu brought the two children back to the palace.
The next morning, Grandpa Gui packed his bags and left Kyoto.
A blink of an eye.
A month has passed.
During this period, in order to confuse Su Junhou, Yan Chu pretended to appreciate Su Zheng and promoted him.
Less than two months after entering the court, he had already become a third-rank official.
He is definitely the most ambitious and dazzling newcomer in the court.
After morning.
Shen Zhishu came to the Shangshu Hall and delivered snacks.
Yan Chu's lips curled up into a faint smile, but it was mostly sarcasm.
"Our Su Junhou is really cautious. He not only gets information from Su Zheng, but also from those generals. He sends out a lot of gossip."
He spread it on the table, and Shen Zhishu just took a look at it.
So did the emperor intercept these messages?
A crowded table.
"Where is Marquis Su now?"
He was going to see the Queen.
His whereabouts also determine the whereabouts of the queen, and also determine the queen's life or death.
The smile on Yan Chu's face disappeared instantly.
How can we get over this hurdle so easily?
"To the east, not far from King Shuo's fiefdom, and we have been staying there for half a month."
"From Kyoto to the frontier, even if he travels day and night, it will take at least half a month, and the frontier and the fiefdom are not in the same direction."
Shen Zhishu exclaimed.
After saying this, Yan Chu's face became even colder and more terrifying.
"Your Majesty, then we...I'm afraid we need to make preparations early."
It can only mean that Su Junhou went directly to his fiefdom.
He knew Su Rong's movements early in the morning.
It is very likely that the father and daughter are in cahoots with each other and share the same hatred for the enemy.
If one imagines it a little more outrageously, it is very likely that Su Rong would have already thought the opposite.
"Well, let's take this opportunity to eliminate this trouble forever."
what to prepare?
He is the most capable warring king in the Yan Dynasty.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhishu immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, if this is what you must do, then I have an unwelcome request."
She raised her head, her face serious.
Yan Chu looked at him in confusion.
"I beg the emperor to place Lin'er under my name, and I will be his adoptive mother and raise him to adulthood. In the future, he will be my child and will have nothing to do with the Su family."
The child has always been raised by books.
He hadn't thought about these things.
Now that she mentioned it, Yan Chu remembered that it should be so.
Otherwise, Lin'er might be implicated by the Su family.
So the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Zhishu was as soft as if it was filled with honey.
"How can this be considered an unreasonable request? Shu'er, you have considered it carefully. I will issue an order later to raise Lin'er in your care."
Shen Zhishu's eyes instantly turned red.
Because Yan Chu did not hesitate at all, it also showed that he no longer had any feelings for Su Rong.
I don’t know how long I have waited for this day, and I don’t know how long this is.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely raise him well."
Yan Chu helped her up, his eyes full of her.
"I believe you."
"Then...I have another request."
She held his hand, and her watery eyes were full of him.
"explain."
Yan Chu was a little amused.
Suddenly I felt that even the way Shuer spoke was so cute.
"Lin'er recognized me as his mother. This is good news. We should announce it to the world. It would be best if the queen also knew about it."
She treated Lin'er sincerely, but it would be better if she could use him to do something.
"The Queen is Lin'er's biological mother. If she knew about this, she would probably rush back to demand an explanation. Then we can imprison her in the palace. This way, we will have one less enemy. Doesn't the Queen also know how to fight? I think the fewer enemies there are, the better."
