Chapter 125 The Story of the Necklace
After Shen Muchen left, Shen Juzi changed his sitting position and straightened his waist, and a black shadow walked in from behind the screen with a shout.
"You heard it too." Although Shin Muchen left today does not mean that he will continue to investigate the matter. If the adjutant had notified him in advance this time, how could he have deceived the truth? "You are targeted by Shin Muchen, be careful."
The man behind him was wearing a dark brown guard uniform, and there were obvious signs of torn on the corner of his clothes.
His surname is Zi and his name is Ru.
"I know, thank you Your Highness Yuzi for helping you... Thank you anyway!" After the words, Zilu strode towards the door.
Shin Ye Zi frowned and his face was full of displeasure, "Are you not curious why I helped you?"
Zilu turned his back to Shen Juzi without saying anything, and then he remembered Shen Juzi's words behind him, "A big character in the Royal Family of the Great Shang quietly left Da Shang alone and came to the Imperial City. He immediately participated in the selection of guards with Li Wanli..." He said this and showed his laziness. He had already sent someone to investigate the background of the newcomer in front of him.
At the beginning, Shin-Ji-Ji didn't care about this man at all, nor did he want to check his identity. I have to say that he did it thoroughly at the beginning, hiding himself well, with almost no flaws. "Your skills have betrayed you. Even if a person hides himself, he will still betrayed by a habitual action."
He glanced at Zilu's palm, "That thick calluse is the hand of a sword-holder all year round." Shen Wuzi recalled the day he chose to choose. Gu Yandong, the subordinate of Shen Muchen, took Li Wanshi away, feeling disappointed. He was about to leave, but heard Zilu recommending himself to himself. At that time, Shen Wuzi didn't think much about it. Seeing that the boy had good grades, he took him into Lu Cheng Palace.
"Now it seems that every move you make after coming to Yucheng Palace involves a person, and that person is your purpose in the palace." Shen Zi squinted his eyes as if he wanted to see Zilu thoroughly, "That person is the current imperial concubine of Tsinghua Palace, Li Wanyue."
But there is another thing that Shen Yuzi doesn't understand very well, "If you are taken to Tsinghua Palace by Shen Muchen, why would you choose to come to me? It's far from Tsinghua Palace, and there are not many opportunities to go out to find Li Wanli."
Speaking of this, Zilu held his hand guiltily, lowered his head and smiled, "The Your Highnesses in Yucheng are indeed smart and wise, this is not much the same as Da Shang..."
"Da Shang is indeed not as good as here. If I shout, people outside the door will rush in and subdue you." Shen Juzi knew that he could not beat the man in front of him, so he got a shot of a vaccination, "Say, what is your purpose in entering the palace?"
Nowadays, Da Shang and Yucheng are in good terms, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the two countries are not a long-term solution. In the past few years, Da Shang was still vassal of Yu Yangcheng. For some reason, he suddenly betrayed Yang Cheng and Yucheng in recent years. Outsiders believe that all of this originated from the death of Queen Wang, but in Shen Juzi's eyes, a woman is unlikely to be a reason for two people to betray.
"The Da Shang needs a Wang Ji." Zilu spoke, "Because the two countries have a good relationship, Zilu is willing to tell His Highness about this."
"Your Highness doesn't understand. Da Shang is not without Wang Ji, and Da Shang wants Wang Ji. This is your Da Shang business. What does it have to do with our imperial city?" Shen Juzi became more and more confused as he listened. He couldn't think of what the relationship between Da Shang Wang Ji and Yu City.
One month before the incident, because Princess Le Ji was not in good health, she was sent to the Emperor Shang to find the Li family. In order to escape from marriage, the royal princess fled to the Emperor of the Li family and then married the head of the Li family. In desperation, the King of the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty, the princess, had to give up. Mrs. Li gave birth to a child named Li Muhong, and today's Li Muhong is the mother of Chu Qingyan and Li Wanmei. As a result, the sisters Chu Qingyan and Li Wanmei had the blood of the Royal Family.
"Wait.... You say, Li Wanyu is the child of the wife of Li Chu family?" At this time, Shen Yuzi's head was already in chaos. "Isn't Li Wanyu a Miss Shen family? How could he be Li Muhong's child?!" Even Li Wanyu himself didn't know his life experience. He grew up in a temple since he was a child. How could he become a eldest lady of the Chu family or a princess of the big merchants?
"That was also unintentionally." Zilu recalled that as soon as he arrived in the Imperial City, he found out that the Li family had been broken. Mrs. Li committed suicide by cutting her wrist on the spot. Later, the only daughter of the Li family was sent to the Chu family to marry her. While the Chu family was in the process, she accidentally saw a luxurious sedan chair stopping in front of the Shen Mansion on the road. A blind girl got off the sedan chair. Her dress was light and elegant, and she was not worthy of the sedan chair at all. It was also because of habit that Zilu had an unusual appearance and stopped to look.
"I showed the necklace between her neck. The gem on the necklace was something from the Da Shang royal family, and it was given to her sister by the Da Shang emperor. There was only one in the world. This necklace was lost since sixty years ago and was recorded in the Da Shang brochure. I will not forget this." Afterwards, he stopped looking for the Chu family and stayed near Li Wanli, paying attention to her movements at all times.
"After I got into the Shen Mansion, I heard that Miss Li was going to the palace. I was puzzled when I heard that, until I followed her into the palace. If Wanli was eliminated, I would not let myself enter the palace successfully. I had already made plans to return to the Shen Mansion with her. Who knew that she was doing well..."
That day in the archery field, the first sentence he said to her by Wan Wei was, "Are you okay?" The second sentence was, "Your arrow has already hit the target, slowly divine." After that, the two entered different palaces, and they did not say anything. It was not until the last few days that he had the opportunity to leave the palace. He heard that Miss Li often went to Houxi, Tsinghua Palace to practice swordsmanship at noon, so he waited there early.
After listening to Zilu's words, Shen Juzi probably understood one or two points, "I want to make some sense... Li Wanxiu is not only not like Miss Shen's family written in her hometown, nor is it the orphan mentioned by Shen Muchen. Li Wanxiu is also a Miss Chu's family, and she is also a Da Shang princess?!"
The amount of information was a bit large, and Shen Zi couldn't accept it. After rectifying it for a long time, he asked in a slight manner, "Then this matter..."
"The plan is in chaos. I originally planned to take the princess out of the palace directly, but I didn't expect that Shen Muchen and the princess became relatives... I also asked His Highness Yuzi to keep it confidential for the big merchant and not to disclose the princess' true identity to the public for the time being."
