Under the gaze of those dark eyes, Feng Shaojun's heart beat rapidly, his breathing became slightly rapid, and the back of his ears felt quietly hot.
She seemed to be possessed by his gaze, and she quietly leaned forward, and the two of them got closer and closer.
The moment the four lips touched, heaven and earth turned into nothingness, leaving only each other's heartbeats and breathing.
Knock knock knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
As if a thief had been caught, Feng Shaojun sat up straight and took a few steps back. Even without looking in the mirror, she knew her cheeks were red.
Shen You was not much better either, his breathing was disordered and his handsome face was flushed.
Knock knock knock!
The deadly knock on the door rang again.
Feng Shaojun's voice was filled with anger: "Who is it?"
A slow voice sounded outside the door: "We are here to visit Guard Shen on the order of His Highness."
It’s Eunuch Yang!
Feng Shaojun calmed down and stepped forward to open the door. The person standing outside the door was indeed Eunuch Yang.
Feng Shaojun smiled and stepped aside, shouting: "Father, come in quickly."
Eunuch Yang raised his eyebrows in surprise and subconsciously glanced at Shen You who was lying on the bed. He saw that Shen You looked calm and not surprised. It seemed that Shen You finally knew the true identity of "Eunuch Feng".
This progress is really fast!
Eunuch Yang gave a meaningful look at Feng Shaojun, who looked extremely charming with peach blossoms.
Feng Shaojun pretended to be calm and said to Eunuch Yang with a smile: "Cousin You drank medicine and a bowl of porridge today. He is in much better spirits than yesterday."
Eunuch Yang looked at Shen You again and saw that Shen You's equally handsome face turned red. He knew it in his heart and did not say anything. He smiled and said, "Servant Shen's complexion is indeed much better."
Shen You cleared his throat: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Please Eunuch Yang express my gratitude to Your Highness on my behalf."
King Yan had come in person every day before, but today he asked Eunuch Yang to come visit on his behalf. This shows that King Yan is really busy.
"Is there any news from the court?" Feng Shaojun's voice sounded.
Eunuch Yang's eyes flashed and he responded in a deep voice: "Those who assassinated Your Highness were all dead men. They were either killed on the spot or committed suicide by taking poison. There was no one left alive. His Highness ordered all the corpses to be sent to the Criminal Department of the capital. The Emperor was shocked to hear that His Highness Long Yan was furious when he was assassinated. He has ordered people to investigate the assassin's case strictly."
"The wind is blowing loudly in the morning, and the murder case here in Pingjiang Mansion is also very difficult."
"That group of gangsters who committed murder and robbed money was originally a group of criminal thieves. There were more than a dozen of them, and they were all murderers. After they killed people, they concealed their traces and hid in a mountain forest."
"After His Highness arrived at Pingjiang Mansion, he ordered the police to search for the bandits. Within a few days, they found their whereabouts."
"However, what we found were more than a dozen corpses."
What?
Feng Shaojun was shocked: "They were all silenced?"
Eunuch Yang nodded: "Exactly. They were drugged and then beheaded. The person who silenced them was very ruthless and careful, leaving no trace at all, only corpses all over the ground."
Feng Shaojun's expression also became serious.
Thinking about it now, from the very beginning, this murder case was a trap set for King Yan. King Yan was leading an errand out of the capital and met an assassin on the way.
If the personal guards had not defended King Yan to the death, if Shen You had not blocked the fatal sword for King Yan, who would have really benefited if King Yan made a mistake?
It's scary to think about it carefully, and the more I think about it, the colder my heart becomes.
The fight for the reserve has turned from dark to bright, accompanied by bloodshed.
In the silence, Shen You opened his mouth: "Your Highness, would you like to conclude the case?"
Eunuch Yang sighed: "In fact, there is no need to pursue this case anymore. His Highness already knows the person behind the scenes. However, His Highness refuses to let it go and insists on finding out the case before returning to Beijing."
King Yan's fight for the crown prince is booming. How can you forgive others if you are justified?
Shen You and Feng Shaojun looked at each other.
At this moment, Eunuch Yang coughed lightly and said, "Servant Shen is seriously injured and he will be taken care of with peace of mind. Miss Feng San, please come out with our family. We have something to discuss with Miss Feng San."
Shen You's eyelids twitched.
It’s okay if I didn’t know before.
Now that we know Feng Shaojun's true identity, what Eunuch Yang said about "something to discuss" is now clear.
What errand are you asking Feng Shaojun to do?
Feng Shaojun did not hesitate, opened his mouth and responded, turning to Shen You and said: "Cousin You, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Shen You had no way to stop him and watched Feng Shaojun leave.
After burning the incense, Feng Shaojun came back. He was still smiling like a flower: "Cousin You, I wanted to stay with you for a few more days. But now it seems that I may not be able to forgive you."
Shen You's heart tightened and he whispered: "You have to go on an errand?"
Feng Shaojun hummed, but did not elaborate.
Keeping your mouth shut is the most important rule as a spy.
Shen You also understood the truth. He didn't ask anything, just whispered: "Be careful and take care."
Feng Shaojun nodded with a smile and left quickly.
After a while, Shen Jia came. After sleeping for more than half an hour, Shen Jia regained her energy and spoke with full vigor: "Where is cousin Shaojun?"
Shen You responded lightly: "She misses her grandmother and will go to accompany her from today on."
Shen Jia didn't think much about it at all, and said with a smile: "It's time to spend more time with grandma. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you won't be lonely."
…
In the next few days, Feng Shaojun disappeared.
Shen You was worried and worried in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Shen Jia was careless and didn't notice anything was wrong at all.
People came quickly from the capital. The first ones to arrive were members of the Shen family. Da Feng and Shen Mao each wrote a letter with their own hands and asked the steward to bring it, along with a lot of supplements.
Shen You couldn't move, so Shen Jia opened the letter and slowly read it to Shen You.
There were several cooks in Cui Yuan who were excellent at cooking, and one of them was particularly good at stewing tonics. So, Shen Jia had one more thing to do every day, serving Shen You to drink tonic soup.
"Fourth brother, if I serve you like this every day, you will be proud of yourself in the future, but you can't forget me, the third brother." Shen Jia teased with a smile.
Shen You glanced at him: "Friendship is friendship, you still have to pay back the money you borrowed from me."
Shen Jia grimaced and sighed: "Why do you still remember this? OK, OK, I'm okay! I will definitely pay back my salary when I get it next month."
In this case, Shen You's ears almost felt calloused.
Anyway, every time he mentioned the money, Shen Jia looked pitiful. When it came time to pay the salary, he would pay it back. Within two days, he would just open his mouth to "borrow" the money again.
At this moment, a porter came and said, "Mr. Shen, someone from the Qiu family in the capital has come."
Qiu family?
Apparently, Shen You's mother-in-law, the Jiang family, sent someone here.
