The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 310: The Letter in the Secret Compartment

Luo Yumin was shocked.

Shen Runing stood up, walked to the study window, gently pushed aside a corner of the curtain with his fingertips, and looked out into the dark night.

"Your current identity is Zhe Qing of Wen Yue Fang, and I am just an unmarried widow who is feared by the emperor." She said in a light tone.

"You said you could help me, but how can you help me if you can't even save yourself?"

"I can bring Eunuch Qian into the game!"

Shen Runing turned his head slowly, his eyes moving slightly.

"Oh?"

"Tell me more about it."

Luo Yumin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Wen Yue Fang appears to be a place of brothels, but in reality it is a place where Eunuch Qian's spies are spread all over the place."

Shen Runing seemed to be thinking about something.

"continue."

"Eunuch Qian is not only the emperor's personal eunuch, but also his most trusted eyes and ears."

"Many court officials had to look at his face privately."

Shen Runing nodded slightly: "Of course I know all this, but how did you get him involved?"

Luo Yumin's eyes darkened and her voice became firm.

"Eunuch Qian has his own selfish motives. Although he appears to be loyal, he is actually always trying to find a way out for himself."

"As long as... he develops a rebellious heart, he will become the sharpest knife."

"Or, let the emperor mistakenly think that he has rebellious intentions..."

Create an illusion and kill two birds with one stone.

Shen Runing slowly walked back to the desk, as if weighing the pros and cons.

"You know, if Eunuch Qian gets into trouble, you will be the first to suffer."

Luo Yumin smiled slightly, her expression firm: "That's why I need your help."

"Your plan sounds good." Shen Runing said softly.

"But how do I know if you were sent by Eunuch Qian to deceive me?"

Luo Yumin frowned slightly: "I didn't lie to you!"

"Really?" Shen Runing walked slowly to the desk and took out an exquisite sachet from his sleeve, from which the elegant sandalwood scent faintly emanated.

He gently squeezed the sachet, as if to confirm something, then placed it on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Luo Yumin.

"In that case, you can let Eunuch Qian take this with him."

Luo Yumin stared at the sachet, "What's in it?"

Shen Runing smiled and said, "You don't need to know."

Luo Yumin was silent for a moment, her eyes darkened: "If he asks, how should I explain it?"

Shen Runing chuckled without commenting: "Then it depends on your ability."

for a long time.

"it is good."

"I'll make him wear it."

Shen Runing smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. If this little thing couldn't be done well, what's the point of talking about cooperation?

"very good."

"Then I will wait for your good news, Princess."

At this point, the conversation between the two ended abruptly.

……

In Kyoto, undercurrents are surging.

Wei House.

In the study room with no candles lit.

Shen Kuo stood in front of the table in a daze.

Ever since Hao Chuan left, ripples have been forming in his heart.

Just as Hao Chuan said, for Ning'er, for the Shen family...

He still secretly came to Wei Jiuzhao's study.

The night was dark. A faint moonlight shone through the half-open window, making Shen Kuo's face look even paler.

He found the stack of letters in the secret compartment behind the bookshelf. The handwriting was neat and elegant, and the signature was Luo Mosheng.

Shen Kuo flipped through the letters almost mechanically, one after another.

'Shen Kuo is a cautious person, you need to be more gracious to him.'

"The secrets hidden in the Shen Mansion are not urgent, you have to be careful."

"Wei Jiuzhao, after you help me ascend the throne, I will make you the Grand Assistant."

……

His fingertips trembled slightly, and Shen Kuo's throat seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Some scenes from the past appeared before my eyes...

Wei Jiuzhao gently straightened his clothes and whispered to him to take care of himself;

Wei Jiuzhao smiled and said that he would always be with him;

Wei Jiuzhao blocked all the rumors in front of everyone and stood firmly on his side...

They all lied to him.

It's all fake.

Anger, sorrow, and humiliation mixed together and tore his sanity apart bit by bit.

He didn't want to believe it, but the facts were right in front of him.

"so……"

His voice was barely audible, like the shredded wind.

"He doesn't like me?"

"He's just trying to use me?"

Shen Kuo laughed softly, his eyes slightly red.

ridiculous.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the study door.

Shen Kuo looked up suddenly, then quickly put the letter on his chest and hid behind the screen.

The door of the study was pushed open, and the faint candlelight instantly lit up the dull darkness. The swaying light and shadow reflected a stern face.

Wei Jiuzhao walked in, with a hint of annoyance between his brows.

At the door, a servant stood there with his head lowered, trembling.

"Sir, Hao Chuan went to see Master Shen in the evening."

"As for...as for what was said..." The servant pursed his lips and lowered his voice.

"I really didn't hear it clearly, I just vaguely heard your name..."

Wei Jiuzhao was silent for a moment and slowly sat down on the chair.

"Has Shen Kuo been here?"

"No...no, Master Shen went to bed early and did not leave the house."

After hearing this, the haze in Wei Jiuzhao's eyes slowly dissipated. He let out a long sigh, as if he had let go of some of the hidden worries in his heart.

"Go down."

"Yes, my lord."

The door was gently closed, and the study became quiet again.

Shen Kuo stood behind the screen, not daring to make the slightest sound, with a layer of cold sweat on his palms.

Wei Jiuzhao sat upright in front of the desk, slowly raised his eyes, glanced across the table, and then slowly looked around.

Shen Kuo's heart suddenly tightened.

He held his breath and stared at Wei Jiuzhao.

After a long time, Wei Jiuzhao's gaze finally fell back on the table. He seemed to feel that there was nothing unusual, so he slowly reached out to take the pen and started writing on the rice paper.

Shen Kuo blinked his slightly red eyes, his heart was beating like a drum, and his emotions were surging so much that he could hardly control them.

His existence is just a stepping stone for Wei Jiuzhao to ascend to a high position.

Suppressing his surging emotions, he slowly took half a step back, trying to hide himself deeper, but his forehead accidentally hit the wooden frame of the screen.

The faint sound was particularly clear in the quiet study.

Wei Jiuzhao paused for a moment, frowned, and suddenly raised his eyes to look towards the screen.

"Who?"
