After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 77

The conversation with Xue Ciyi finally broke up with Xie Shizi's casual attitude.

In order to gain Xie Tangru's trust, Xue Ciyi truthfully answered all kinds of questions he raised, including the relationship between her and Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was an ordinary scholar she met when she was young. By chance, when Shen Yu was dying, she grabbed the hem of Xue Ciyi who was going to Baiyun Temple to offer incense.Xue Ciyi believed that his surname "Shen" was related to her, so she used Gu insects to save his life - but for a seriously injured person who was about to die, it was not so easy to survive.Xue Ciyi secretly brought him back to the Guifang clan, searched all the classics recorded in the clan, and finally used the same fate Gu to tie Shen Yu's life to her, allowing him to survive.

From then on, Shen Yu was just Yu Sheng's Shen Yu, the knife driven by her, and the evil ghost.

Yu, refers to their encounter, but also refers to Yu Sheng's "Yu".Shen Yu is the reflection of Yu Sheng.

As for Shen Yu's so-called fiancée, Qing Yue, she is also hers, but it's just a false identity used to cover up her eyes and ears.

Mentioning Shen Yulai, Yu Sheng's eyes had a strange light, it was not a girl Huaichun, but like a craftsman treating his most proud and meticulous work.

Xie Tangru listened to her narration, her eyes remained calm from beginning to end, no matter her superior indifference or enthusiasm when she mentioned Shen Yushi, they couldn't touch him.

Finally, Xue Ciyi bent her lips: "I have already answered your question, so when are you going to meet me in Lingnan? You are the only direct bloodline of the young patriarch, and only you are qualified to inherit the entire Guifang clan."

"But I'm not planning to go back." Shizi Xie said indifferently, even with a playful smile: "I also have a family business in the capital that I can inherit."

He is a son after all, and the family business his father saved is enough for him to be an idle dude in a capital city where the rich and powerful are everywhere. Why should he go to the deep mountains and old forests to be a puppet manipulated by others?

Xue Ciyi: "But what the Guifang clan can bring you, how can a mere Wei Guogong's heir can compare? Whether it's power, wealth, beauty, or what countless people in the world are chasing - immortality."

She couldn't help lowering her voice at the last word, evidently thinking it was a bargain no one could refuse, enough to win over the hardest heart in the world.

"I thought the immortality technique of the Guifang clan recorded in the book was just nonsense. So it really exists." Xie Tangru rested his chin and met Xue Ciyi's gaze thoughtfully, "If the late emperor was still alive, he would definitely respond to your suggestion Tempted, but unfortunately, I don't want to live forever."

He spoke softly, with an expression as revealed in his words, completely uninterested in the "longevity" that the world dreams of.

Xie Tangru saw Xue Ciyi's face twitch when he mentioned "Xiandi".

It turns out that the first emperor was really seduced by the immortality technique of the Guifang clan.He sneered in his heart, and wished for a lifetime of longevity. If he took less pills, he might live a few more years.

Xue Ciyi has regained her composure. She knows that Xie Tangru, since she has hidden her true colors for so many years and has not been discovered by others, her ability and temperament are not comparable to ordinary people who can be fooled at will, but she did not expect that Xie Tangru would be so kind to him. Her proposal didn't waver in the slightest.

——That is the "Longevity" secret technique sought after by countless people in the Guifang clan.

At this time, if she still can't see that Xie Tang is teasing her, Xue Ciyi will be an out-and-out fool.

A sense of irritability rose in her heart. In her imagination, it should be an easy task to convince Xie Tangru.

But the reality told her that was far from the case.

The conversation naturally broke up.After this conversation ended, Xue Ciyi quietly disappeared from Duke Wei's mansion.

Her true identity has been exposed, and she has no interests agreed with Xie Tangru, so naturally she will not stay for a long time in Duke Wei's mansion, which might endanger her at any time.

"Xie Tangru doesn't believe me." A cold smile appeared on her lips, "He also broke up with the emperor of the merchant. If he doesn't return to the Guifang clan, he may not be able to stay in this capital."

Shen Yu stood behind her silently and docilely. He completely understood Yu Sheng's anger, or empathized with her - this was the effect of the same fate Gu.He touched his chest with his fingers, and it was not only his heart that was beating here.If you listen carefully on the quietest night, someone may be able to find that his and Yu Sheng's heartbeat frequency is exactly the same.

Yu Sheng didn't care about his attitude, she looked at Qingyue: "Has the deposed prince controlled it?"

"Yeah." Qingyue nodded lightly, "No problem."

Yu Sheng: "In this case, let's start early according to the plan. I don't want to wait any longer." Her beautiful and delicate face was slightly raised, and her innocence and charm receded, revealing a sinister and cunning like a snake.

Shen Yudao: "Actually, without Wei Guogong's son, we would not lose the battle with Yu Ran. The water in Yuejing is too deep, and Shang Qingyao is not the same as the former emperor..."

Yu Sheng interrupted him coldly, his small face was slightly distorted when he looked closely: "So what? I have been wronged for so long not to give up at the last moment."

Shen Yu sighed almost imperceptibly.

"Then I'll notify the Ministry of Industry Minister."

………………

It is not known how the other Lord Shangshu will have a bright future, but after Lord Chen Shangshu was reprimanded after going to work that day, he fell seriously ill when he returned home. He was in a daze, thinking that His Majesty wanted to kill him.As soon as he fell ill, the servants of the Ministry of Rites immediately rushed forward like hungry wolves to divide his power.

This time, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites became even more ill.

Chen Huizhou was anxious, but the person his father offended was not an ordinary official, but the most honorable emperor in the world.Without His Majesty's golden words of forgiveness, it is impossible for his father to recover from his illness.

But he has no official position, so where can he go to see His Majesty?

Chen Huizhou thought for a long time, spent a lot of money, and finally got on the line with the head of the chamberlain next to the emperor, and got to know each other.

The chief servant looked up and down at the son of the Minister of Rites with his cloudy eyes, and his shrewd light was hidden under a cheerful smile: "My family probably knows what Mr. Chen means. But we will tell Mr. Chen the truth. Your Majesty's intentions are something that people like us can guess—you also know that Your Majesty is no better than the late Emperor, if you plead for mercy rashly, I'm afraid it will anger His Majesty instead."

"Then...then what should we do?" Chen Huizhou frowned. Although he had read a lot of books with Daru, there was not a word in those books that could remind him at the moment.

The chief servant smiled "hehe" and said, "Our words are useless, but His Majesty will definitely listen to what someone has said."

"Who?"

"Your Majesty, Duke of Wei." The chief servant gave him a meaningful look, "Your Majesty and His Majesty have a relationship. If Mr. Chen can persuade your Majesty to enter the palace to intercede, His Majesty will agree. It is nothing wrong with Chen Shangshu." Blunder."

Seeing Chen Huizhou's hesitation, the head servant added another fire, "Young Master Chen, it's good to think about it, what is important."

………………

After the chief servant finished speaking, he drove back to the palace. Shang Qingyao was repairing the green terrace at that time.

The palace walls have been repainted, and they are as gorgeous as new.The palace is covered with hand-woven carpets from Loulan Kingdom outside the northern frontier. Famous kiln, white and delicate, worth thousands of gold.The other furnishings are all refined and beautiful.

Even the emperor's bedroom may not be more exquisite and gorgeous than this.The chief servant did not dare to glance at it at all—it was the heart of an emperor, the most secret and most inhumane mind.

He could only report cautiously: "I have informed Mr. Chen as you ordered."

There was a long silence.

The servant lowered his head even lower.

It took a long time for the emperor to say: "Change the tent to a brighter color. He doesn't like a color that is too dark."

For a moment, cold sweat flowed from his forehead and went straight to the bottom of his heart.

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's heart was clearly revealed.

"……Yes."

………………

"So you want me to enter the palace to intercede for your father?" Xie Tangru supported himself with one hand, and pondered slightly after hearing Chen Huizhou's request.

Although this matter seems to be nothing, Xie Tangru always feels... Is Chen Huizhou pretending to be smart?Or is someone deliberately pushing behind the scenes?

What does Shang Qingyao want to do?

He twitched his heartstrings very quickly, and Chen Huizhou didn't see that he had turned his head several times to think about it, so he just lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Yes, I want to ask the prince to help me with this, even if... It's okay for the son to be brothers with my father."

His voice was extremely cramped, and it was obvious that to say such humble words was already the limit for the elegant and self-reliant Mr. Chen.

Xie Tangru was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was what he used to tease Chen Shangshu and his son before.Isn't Chen Shangshu's brother Chen Huizhou's "elder"?He twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that it took a lot of courage for Chen Huizhou to come to the door, and it is not an exaggeration to put life and death aside.

He was silent: "... I don't have a strange habit of being a father. This matter... I can mention it for you, but I don't know if it will be useful."

Chen Huizhou was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.

Xie Tangru lowered his eyes, let the maid see off the guests, and at the same time felt a little strange in his heart.Chen Huizhou's asking someone to help him find him here is really outrageous. With this gentleman's temperament, it is impossible to ask him to come here even if he kneels outside the palace wall and cries under normal circumstances.

It could only be Shang Qingyao - he actually didn't care about Chen Shangshu, but since someone deliberately lured him into the game, he would naturally accompany him.

Tapping the table with his fingertips, he didn't figure out why Shang Qingyao did this, so he stopped thinking about it.

It was impossible to eat him anyway.

"Prepare the car and enter the palace."
