Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 16 Shen Yinhu: My younger sister is having a secret meeting with a man from outside her family?

"A letter from my father!"

Shang Hongye, dressed in red, looked heroic. He took the letter and began to read it.

Soon, her brows were furrowed, and confusion and puzzlement appeared on her pretty face.

"Miss, what did the prince write in the letter?"

Shang Hongye took a deep breath and murmured in a low voice.

"Uncle Huo, my father asked me to choose the crown prince as my son-in-law."

"Prince?"

"Didn't Big Brother tell you, Hongye, to choose what you like? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Huo Yunting's square face was full of confusion. The content of the letter was completely different from the results of their discussion when they left the northern border.

Shang Hongye nodded slightly and pondered for a while.

"This matter is indeed strange."

"Father doesn't seem like the type to go back on his word."

"What's more, the Crown Prince is the worst choice. No matter which prince we choose, we shouldn't choose the Crown Prince, unless..."

Shang Hongye didn't continue speaking.

unless……

The father wanted to support the prince in a rebellion.

"Uncle Huo, where did this letter come from? Could it be forged?" Shang Hongye asked suddenly.

Huo Yunting immediately took the letter and started reading it.

"The handwriting is indeed that of my eldest brother."

"There's nothing wrong with the seal either. It doesn't look fake."

"It's the content of the letter that's truly incredible."

Huo Yunting turned the letter over and over and read it several times, but could not find any trace of forgery.

"I will write a letter now and ask my father."

"Uncle Huo, you have to go there in person and make sure to get to the bottom of this matter."

"But...Miss, if I leave, your safety..."

Huo Yunting hesitated.

"Don't worry, Uncle Huo, I have already left the Northern Territory."

"Your Majesty wants nothing to happen to me more than anyone else."

"In that case, I will go back to the North. Miss, please be careful on your journey."

"Also, the imperial physician has been clamoring to treat you, young lady."

"It's been delayed for a few days. If it's delayed any further, it won't be a big deal."

"Tell the doctor that I am well again and will leave tomorrow."

The next day.

Shang Hongye and his group set off again.

However, they stopped and walked along the way. It was said that Shang Hongye was here for the first time and wanted to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daqian.

After hearing Shang Hongye's excuse, the imperial physician did not urge her.

Be it Emperor Yuanchu or Prince Zhenbei, neither of them could be offended by a mere imperial physician like him.

If he could get Shang Hongye to Yujing safely, he would have accomplished his mission.

……

Outside Yujing City.

The number of refugees is increasing.

Shen Qiu Shui has been busy distributing porridge these days.

After using Fang Heng's method, no one who wanted to take advantage of him came again.

This made Shen Qiu Shui and Fang Heng even more curious.

Such sophisticated tactics are not something that a prince who has just reached adulthood can use.

Shen Qiu Shui noticed that someone was staring at him in secret.

When he looked carefully, he saw a sneaky figure.

"Second brother, what are you doing?"

Seeing that his whereabouts had been discovered, Shen Yinhu had to show up and coughed.

"Cough cough!"

"I was just passing by and came to see you, little sister."

Shen Qiu Shui rolled her eyes.

It’s so easy to tell that my second brother is lying.

Not concealed at all.

Ever since meeting the Ninth Prince that day, my second brother has been on guard against thieves.

Every time she came to the outskirts of the city to distribute porridge, I followed her all the way.

It seemed as if he was afraid that she would be kidnapped.

Shen Yinhu saw that Shen Qiu Shui looked unhappy and embarrassed, so he touched the back of his head.

"Little sister, I'll help you with the porridge." "Here, you go and help with the porridge."

Shen Yinhu took the spoon from Shen Qiu Shui.

He scooped up a spoonful of porridge and saw that it was mixed with a small amount of sand, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Little sister, why is there sand in the porridge?"

"Second brother, you don't understand!"

Shen Yinhu: ???

I don't understand?
Little sister, you have changed!

Before I met the Ninth Prince, you never said that to me.

"Little sister, did the Ninth Prince teach you this method?" Shen Yinhu asked.

Shen Qiu Shui nodded openly.

"The Ninth Prince taught me that."

"Your Highness is kindhearted and wise, a man of true benevolence and righteousness."

After hearing what Shen Qiu Shui said, Shen Yinhu felt a chill in his heart.

really……

It really is the Ninth Prince!

The Ninth Prince is very capable, but what am I?
Are you stupid?
Using sand to deal with refugees, is this something a human being can do?

How on earth did the Ninth Prince, this cunning little thief, fool my little sister?

Seeing that Shen Yinhu didn't move, Shen Qiu Shui raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry.

"Brother, don't just stand there. Don't you see so many people queuing up?"

"Ohhhh—I see!"

Shen Yinhu was busy distributing porridge, wondering how he could make his younger sister recognize the true identity of the Ninth Prince.

Shen Qiu Shui walked into the porridge shop and took a short rest.

Qin Yin, the personal maid, trotted into the soup kitchen. When she saw Shen Qiu Shui waving at her, she quietly approached.

"Qinyin, I asked you to investigate, have you found out?"

"Miss, you are truly a female Zhuge Liang."

"The people at the soup kitchen across the street belong to the Ninth Prince."

Qinyin said this happily, feeling in her heart that the young lady was really smart.

With just one look, he could see through the other person's identity.

Qin Yin told Shen Qiu Shui all the information she had found out.

Hearing this, Shen Qiushui's eyes lit up.

"Sure enough!"

"Your Highness possesses not only the wisdom of Wenqu, but also the compassion of the Savior of Suffering."

Seeing her young lady praising the Ninth Prince so much, Qin Yin made a joke.

"Miss, you are not in love with the Ninth Prince, are you?"

"What are you talking about, you little girl?"

"The Ninth Prince and I simply share the same ideals."

"You must not speak nonsense."

Shen Qiu Shui glared at Qin Yin. Qin Yin nodded repeatedly, saying that she understood, but her eyes clearly showed that she didn't believe it.

"Qinyin, my second brother is giving out porridge, can you help me cover for him?"

"Miss, where are you going?"

"Go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. I have something important to ask the Ninth Prince."

When Qin Yin heard that her young lady was going to the Ninth Prince's residence to meet him secretly, she was stunned.

She was so surprised that she was dumbfounded and quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

"Miss, the Ninth Prince is a virgin."

"What do you mean by outside men or not?"

"There are so many refugees here, who isn't a foreigner?"

"Miss, you are making excuses."

"If the master finds out about your secret meeting with the Ninth Prince..."

Before Qin Yin could finish her words, Shen Qiu Shui interrupted her and spoke in a firm tone.

"As long as my father doesn't find out, isn't that enough?"

"Second brother is giving out porridge, remember not to let him find out."

Qin Yin watched her young lady leave in a hurry, her face full of bitterness.

What is this?
The young lady was having a secret meeting with a man outside her family and she was asked to cover for him.

No way!
No way!
No way!
Miss, you must really like the Ninth Prince.

The ninth prince has been weak and sickly since childhood and his days are numbered.

If the young lady marries him, I will also have to bring a dowry.

By then, wouldn’t I become a widow at such a young age?
