After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Zhiyong remembered that when Shen Jinyao asked him for clothes yesterday, this was not what she said.

Shen Jinyao told him that the eldest lady missed him very much, so she sent the two of them to see him.

"Zhiyong, you can't go back, but we two can't go back empty-handed either."

Shen Zhiyong: "Then what can I give you? I just got my salary for this month..."

Shen Jinyao: "Don't take the silver, keep it for yourself. Otherwise..."

"Please give me a set of the clothes you gave me. It will be a token of my gratitude to my aunt."

Shen Zhiyong was very reluctant to leave, "I only have three sets of clothes."

Shen Jinyao: "Then you still have two sets. Don't worry, I can convince my uncle and aunt after you get the clothes."

Shen Zhiyong believed Shen Jinyao's words, and Shen Jinyao also specifically told him not to tell Shen Zhizheng.

So Shen Zhiyong took out his clean clothes, wrapped them neatly and handed them to Shen Jinyao.

Who knew that Shen Jinyao actually put it on herself, and then rode her horse named Lightning and followed behind the team.

If Shen Zhiyong hadn't recognized Shen Jinyao's horse, he probably wouldn't have been able to find Shen Jinyao in time.

Shen Jinyao and Shen Zhiyong were hanging at the end of the team. Shen Jinyao glared at Shen Zhiyong.

"Could you please keep your voice down and stay away from me? There are so many people here, it won't be a problem if I'm here too."

Shen Zhiyong couldn't understand what Shen Jinyao was going to do.

"Brother, what on earth do you want to do?"

Shen Jinyao looked ahead and said, "I have important things to do."

Shen Zhiyong said courageously, "What important matter could it be? If Second Uncle knew, you...you wouldn't be doing this for General Xiang, right?"

Shen Jinyao rolled her eyes at Shen Zhiyong, then patted Lightning's butt and ran to the front of the team.

Shen Jinyao came out this time just to follow the team back to Shangjing City.

There are only two purposes for going back.

The first thing is to figure out what the current situation is outside.

What happened in the palace that caused the general guarding the border to set out back to Shangjing with 5,000 soldiers?

The second is that she wants to meet the third prince and sell the mine to him.

She couldn't follow him openly, otherwise Xiang Hongxuan would definitely suspect her again.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would definitely not be able to withstand the torture in the army.

But Shen Jinyao was not an ordinary girl. She was a soldier before, so naturally she won quickly.

Even so, Shen Jinyao felt a little overwhelmed.

Because Xiang Hongxuan seemed to be desperate, he slept very little and had almost no time to rest.

Resting is also to allow the horse to rest, to eat grass and rest for a while.

However, Shen Jinyao discovered that the roads they took were not main roads, and were even roads that were not often traveled.

As if he didn't want to be discovered.

This made Shen Jinyao even more suspicious that something had happened in the palace.

Everyone in the team was very nervous, and they could feel that something big was about to happen.

In this way, the team traveled day and night and arrived in Shangjing in 25 days.

Shen Zhiyong found Shen Jinyao and said, "Sister, I heard that we will be able to arrive at the base tomorrow."

Shen Jinyao was stunned. "Aren't you going into the city?"

Shen Zhiyong nodded, "So, sister, can you tell me what you are going to do?"

He felt a little overwhelmed, but he didn't expect Shen Jinyao to not show any discomfort at all.

Shen Jinyao: "Then go ask around. Are you never going into the city?"

Then how can I meet the third prince?

Shen Zhiyong: "No need to ask, I've already said I'll be on standby here."

On call?

Waiting for the emperor's orders?

So Xiang Hongxuan's team stayed here for three days, not far away from the gate of Shangjing City.

Shen Jinyao secretly went to see it once, and found that the city gate was no different from before.

Open when it's time to open and close when it's time to close.

There was no sign of nervousness on the people's faces.

Just when Shen Jinyao thought she had come to the wrong place, she decided to leave the team and go into the city to take a look by herself.

As a result, Shen Zhiyong told her that at this time someone actually came into the team.

"It seems that I am very familiar with General Xiang, but..."

"But what?"

Shen Zhiyong whispered, "I heard that the second prince was imprisoned."

what?

Shen Jinyao thought of the eldest prince. It seemed that the emperor chose to believe the eldest prince, Shen Maoshan and others.

The emperor finally felt that there was something wrong with the second prince.

Shen Jinyao figured it out instantly.

"Zhiyong, can you please find out who that person is?"

It was for this reason that the emperor quietly transferred all the soldiers guarding the border.

Although Shen Zhiyong didn't know what Shen Jinyao was going to do, he still obediently went to find out.

However, Shen Zhiyong had little experience in the army, and his actions did attract the attention of the military leader.

The captain told the captain, and the captain told the deputy general.

The deputy general walked up to Xiang Hongxuan and told him quietly.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Shen Zhiyong who was talking there. He sneered and wondered why everyone in the Shen family was so mysterious.

Wait a minute...

Xiang Hongxuan looked at the soldier next to Shen Zhiyong again. Why did the soldier seem familiar?

"Hongxuan, what's wrong?"

Xiang Hongxuan stopped only when the third prince called him.

Xiang Hongxuan: "Nothing, what did you mean just now?"

It turned out that the person who came out of the city to look for Xiang Hongxuan was the third prince of the current dynasty.

That is Xiang Hongxuan’s best friend.

To talk about the relationship between the two of them, we have to start from when Xiang Hongxuan was a child.

At that time, all the princes and some noblemen were laughing at Xiang Hongxuan for not having a mother and having such a fiancée.

Only the third prince protected him.

However, Xiang Hongxuan was very ungrateful and even asked the third prince to stay away from him.

As a result, during a royal hunting trip, the third prince was plotted against.

No one could find the third prince, and finally Xiang Hongxuan found him in a trap.

Finally, the emperor found out that the trap was dug by the eldest prince, the second prince and a few others.

The emperor punished them neither too severely nor too lightly, but the third prince did not receive the emperor's attention.

From then on, Xiang Hongxuan gradually became closer to the third prince.

Although the rumors outside were outrageous, saying that Xiang Hongxuan and the third prince had a life-or-death friendship and that they had a very good relationship.

But only the third prince himself knew that Xiang Hongxuan had always been indifferent to him.

Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the somewhat distracted Third Prince and jokingly said, "Haha, you came to see me, aren't you just standing here and daydreaming?"

The Third Prince angrily slapped Xiang Hongxuan and said, "I came to tell you that the second prince escaped."

"Who?"

"The Second Prince, Zhao Chengyun, has escaped from the Imperial Clan House."
