Chapter 11 Best Ally
The letter written by Shen Sirong is going to be sent to Taishicheng's mansion. The recipient is Ye Su, the newly married wife of Taishicheng. Although writing a letter is Shen Sirong's temporary idea, it is not an empty word.
They only rely on Ye Su's "sincere exchange of sincerity" to meet each other. It is impossible not to let Shen Sirong have any concerns, especially now, Shen Sirong's situation is very delicate, and some things naturally need to be overturned and reconsidered.
After reading the letter, Ye Su replied to Shen Sirong, who sent someone to pick up Ye Su into the palace the next day.
Shen Sirong, who had been waiting for a long time, sat at the top of the Lanyue Hall. She watched Ye Su walk into the hall in the clothes of her wife. Ye Su walked in and stood down. Shen Sirong called all the palace people out and closed the door. There were only two of them in the whole hall. During this period, Shen Sirong has been observing Ye Su and has not missed a slight change.
"You are very calm." Shen Sirong smiled.
Ye Su stood far away from Shen Sirong, so that she only needed to look up slightly to look at Shen Sirong: "Yes, the Empress is not the person my concubine should be afraid of. Why isn't the concubine calm?"
Shen Sirong took his position, went forward and crossed the main hall by Ye Su's hand, and arrived at the Cuiyun Pavilion of the side hall. This is the study that Shen Sirong has just cleaned up in recent days.
"Come in."
The two entered the room one after another.
"Is there something important for you to come to me?" Ye Su asked bluntly.
Shen Sirong did not circle with her. She took a book from the bookshelf and opened the page with a piece of paper in it. She took this paper and handed it to Ye Su.
Ye Su didn't know why, so he looked at it carefully. He frowned and asked, "Please forgive Ye Su's ignorance. I don't know what it means to give me a piece of white paper?"
Shen Sirong smiled indifferently: "We are friends, right?"
"Yes."
"So, as a friend, shouldn't you be honest? I believe that you and I are nothing else, but you seem to forget that there are some things that only I can help you.
Shen Sirong's tone was extremely slow, like being crawled by ants, bringing bursts of numbness to Ye Su's heart, making this time very long.
Ye Su's calmness was also broken. She looked at Shen Sirong's eyes with more frightened: "You..." Shen Sirong pressed Ye Su, who stood up unconsciously.
"You want to ask, who told me? To be honest, I guessed.
Guessed? Ye Su was surprised.
"After I was designated as the crown princess, you came to show your goodwill to me. It is said that if you want to have sex with me, you don't have to wait until then. I was suspicious at that time. Later, before your wedding, I went to prepare gifts for you. Who wants to hear a sentence?
Shen Sirong sat opposite Ye Su. Seeing that she was hesitant, she continued to say, "At that time, I knew that you and Tai Shicheng had a relationship between men and women for a long time. Thinking about it, I understood why you were deliberately not chosen by Your Highness. But I'm very curious. How did you know that the emperor would promise him so coincidentally?
Without waiting for Ye Su to answer, Shen Sirong poured himself a cup of tea and wet his mouth: "And Tai Shicheng has just taken over. I'm also curious about what's worth getting close to me.
Ye Su looked at Shen Sirong in disbelief. How delicate his mind was to think of these and find out the flaws one by one.
"Don't worry, I asked you to come today, just to confirm my conjecture. If it's true, then I will make you a friend. If not, I won't dare to make friends with you."
The person was unintentional and listened attentively. Ye Su had hoped that Shen Cirong would not doubt anything before, but now that the matter has been known to her, she doesn't need to disguise it. She knelt down deeply and said firmly, "Don't worry, Ye Su will always be a person you can trust." After saying that, Ye Su stretched out his right index finger, bit it with his teeth, and dripped a drop of blood from the teacup in front of him.
Shen Sirong was at ease and pressed her wound with a handkerchief and said, "Okay."
"Now I want to know what your difficulty is, so that I can take the right medicine."
Ye Su had regained her composure at this time. She knew that every word she said now was of great importance. She carefully opened the window and looked outside before telling Shen Sirong the whole story. Shen Simong, whose thoughts slowly understood, gradually deepened the ink in his eyes, like the same bay water, which seemed calm, but in fact it was dark and surging like a tide.
After listening to Ye Su's words, Shen Sirong took out a token from the bottom of the dressing box: "Take it, remember, don't show it easily." Ye Su understood Shen Sirong's concerns and agreed.
Shen Sirong then called the nurse and Hanxiang into the house and let them see Ye Su, and then said, "This is Taishicheng Mengyuan's wife, Xijing talented girl Ye Su, and she will also be my friend in the future."
"I have met Mrs. Meng."
Ye Su knew that what Shen Sirong asked her to see must be a trusted person: "You two are very polite."
Shen Sirong pointed to the wet nurse and Hanxiang and said, "This is my wet nurse. This is Han Xiang. If there is anything in the future, you can go directly to the palace with my token, and if I have news for you, it will be passed on by the two of them."
"Yes." Ye Su nodded and took the token from Shen Sirong.
Looking at the sky, Shen Sirong said no more and personally sent Ye Su out of the Moon Hall. Shen Sirong did not intend to hide his every move of the Moon Hall, but Xiao Yuanqi did not ask anything that night.
"Your Highness, I have something to tell you." Shen Sirong made up her mind to inform Xiao Yuanqi in advance. She didn't want to be charged at that time.
Xiao Yuanqi raised his eyebrows, and the tip of his nose looked round and soft in the candlelight. He untied the crown at the beginning and asked, "You can decide something. Longevity Day is the most important thing at the moment. How are you prepared?
Seeing that he could change the topic, Shen Sirong could only figure out what Xiao Yuanqi meant in his heart. Either he really believed her, or this matter was under his control at all. No matter how he looked at it, the latter was likely to be much larger. Therefore, she stopped continuing, but took out an account book.
"This is about the expenditure and account details of the Longevity Festival. In addition to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I have also left a backup here for verification."
Xiao Yuanqi took over and turned over a few pages casually: "What about this?"
"Is your highness talking about the birthday gift? It's not ready yet."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuanqi's eyebrows were wrinkled, and the obvious displeasure jumped to his eyebrows.
Shen Sirong said calmly, "However, I have a plan. I will do my best to give this gift, and the emperor will definitely like it. Your Highness, don't worry."
Her face is full of confidence. Xiao Yuanqi somehow believes in her in her heart, and unconsciously remembers Xiao Ze's evaluation of Shen Sirong - this woman can achieve great things and can also make you.
