Chapter 441 The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Suddenly, there was a series of deafening thunder outside the window, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart.
The sudden loud noise instantly broke the tranquility of the night and woke up Shen Sui'an who was sleeping.
She sat up with a start, her heart beating rapidly, and even a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on her forehead.
After calming herself down, she subconsciously turned her head to look out the window.
It was pitch black outside, and the thick darkness seemed to swallow everything.
The raindrops as big as beans were hitting the window frames violently, making crackling sounds, which made people feel scared.
Ning Shuang, who was on night watch, heard the noise in the house and hurried in. She walked quickly to the window and quickly closed the windows one by one.
Shen Sui'an's eyes were always fixed on the dark night outside the window. Her heart seemed to be pressed by a heavy rock, making her feel an indescribable uneasiness.
This uneasiness was like an invisible hand, tightly gripping her heart and making it difficult for her to breathe.
She slowly lowered her head and moved her eyes to her son who was sleeping sweetly beside her. The little guy was lying there quietly, with his mouth slightly open, and he would occasionally lick it, looking very cute.
Looking at the child's innocent face, Shen Sui'an's uneasiness was slightly relieved, but the feeling of depression still lingered.
After a moment of silence, Shen Sui'an gently asked, "What time is it now?"
Ning Shuang hurried to the couch and carefully lowered her voice to answer, "Princess, it's already the Chou hour."
After saying this, she glanced at Shen Sui'an worriedly, as if she had sensed her master's inner unrest.
Shen Sui'an rubbed his eyebrows.
It's been three days.
The guards outside the palace did not retreat. Instead, more of them came today. If it weren't for her strong opposition, some guards would have wanted to enter the backyard.
It is obvious that some people want to take advantage of Fu Jinyuan's imprisonment to fish in troubled waters.
"Princess, it's still early, you should continue to sleep." Ningshuang said softly.
The princess has been obviously tired these days, and news from outside cannot be brought in for the time being. I am worried that the princess will not get enough rest and fall ill.
"Yeah." Shen Sui'an also knew that he couldn't make any mistakes at this time.
She gently hugged Chao Ge'er, recalling what Fu Jinyi said before he went out for the last time.
"There will be some turmoil next. You don't have to listen to anything or care about anything. Just wait for us to come back."
At that time, she had just been hugged by him and had a lot of fun with him. She was so tired that she even had difficulty opening her eyes, so she didn't ask him for details.
What a... bastard! Couldn't you have made it clear beforehand?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
If Fu Jinyuan was here, she would bite him twice to vent her anger.
Shen Sui'an finally fell into a drowsy sleep until she was woken up by Chao Ge'er's babbling.
Chao Ge'er kept waving his hands, mumbling, and his pair of black eyes were moist.
"You are the happiest." Eat a full meal every day, sleep, and eat when you wake up.
Shen Sui'an held his son in his arms and admired him for a while.
Chao Ge'er didn't appreciate it and burst into tears.
He is really hungry.
Shen Suian had no choice but to ask the wet nurse to come in and take Chao Ge'er down to feed him.
Ban Jian helped Shen Sui'an wash up.
"Are those guards behaving well today?" Shen Suian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked calmly.
Ban Jian had a smile on her face, and she stepped forward and replied, "Princess, I was just about to report this to you. A lot of cavalry from the Pacification Department came early this morning. The usually arrogant imperial guards didn't even dare to speak loudly today, and became obedient."
After hearing this, Shen Sui'an nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Are these Tiqi here led by Guan Jin or Zheng Wuqing?"
Ban Jian quickly shook his head and replied, "Neither of them, Master. There are two people leading this time, one is called Tao Feng, and the other is called Gao Zijun."
Hearing these two names, Shen Sui'an couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "It's them..."
Tao Feng and Gao Zijun were both brought back from the Thirteen Villages by Fu Jinyuan. He re-registered them as bandits, allowing them to get rid of their identities as bandits and become upright Ti cavalry.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Sui'an raised his head and whispered to Ban Jian, "Go prepare some good refreshments and send them over."
After Shen Sui'an had breakfast, he started to get busy. Although he was confined to the mansion, there were still many things he had to do.
After checking the account books, the housekeepers came to receive instructions, and it was already noon.
Fuqiu walked in with a heavy look on her face.
"Princess, Yu Bai is back."
Shen Sui'an's eyes moved slightly. Yu Bai had been working for Fu Jinyuan in the outer courtyard. After the palace was surrounded by the imperial guards, Shen Sui'an had been waiting for news from him.
"Let him go to the side hall." Shen Suian said in a low voice.
The fact that Yu Bai was able to enter Prince Chen’s Mansion proved that Fu Jinyuan and the Queen’s power had not been completely broken.
Shen Suian calmed his mind, stood up and walked to the side hall.
When Yu Bai saw her come in, he immediately bowed.
"Get up and tell me what's happening outside." Shen Sui'an said anxiously.
"Yes, Princess. The prefect of Jiangbei was involved in the private casting of weapons. After he was arrested, he revealed that it was the Queen Mother who instructed him to do so. He also testified that the Queen Mother sold the weapons to the Western Regions." Yu Bai said in a low voice.
"The Emperor ordered Prince Heng to be the chief judge. Today, Prince Heng went to the Dali Temple to interrogate the prince. The details of what happened are still unknown."
"Please don't worry, Princess. The prince has made all the arrangements." Yu Bai said softly again.
Shen Sui'an spoke in a deep voice, as if thinking about something.
How come the crime of privately casting weapons suddenly emerged?
Moreover, Jiangbei doesn't seem to be the Ruan family's territory.
"Can you see the prince? How is the prince doing recently? Has the Dali Temple tortured him?" Shen Sui'an asked.
Yu Bai didn't dare to say that Fu Jinyi was whipped.
"Don't worry, Princess. What is happening now is within the expectations of the prince."
Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows slightly.
All of this was expected, that is, the so-called crimes of selling official positions and attempting to rebel were deliberately instigated by Fu Jinyi?
But she couldn't figure out what this was for.
"I understand. If you can contact the prince, tell him that Chao Ge'er and I are doing fine." Shen Sui'an had doubts in his heart, but he believed Fu Jinyi.
Yu Bai: "Perhaps Prince Heng will ask the princess some questions next."
Shen Sui'an: "I will answer it well."
"Princess, I'll leave first." Yu Bai said goodbye.
Shen Sui'an recalled Yu Bai's words.
She seemed to have never seen this Prince Heng before, and he did not appear at the previous banquet.
All we know is that this is a prince who likes places outside the royal capital.
Being able to be the chief judge this time, it is obvious that he is not really a lazy person.
"Where is Qingsu?" Shen Sui'an asked.
