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

The person being asked had a look of disdain on his face.

"Huh, you're quite good at finding joy in adversity."

"Boss, how long will we follow them? We, the Jinyiwei, have so many important things to do, why are we following a bunch of exiles?"

The key point is that none of these exiles look like tough guys.

Only the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Jinyao, who takes the lead, is more difficult to deal with.

But, she is just the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion who has been ill for a long time and has just recovered.

It turned out that the people who had been following the Shen family and others were the imperial guards.

They obeyed the emperor exclusively and did whatever he told them to do.

It was Pan Ye, commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who led a team of men to raid the Shen family.

Shen Jinyao probably didn't expect that the people following them were actually the Jinyiwei?

Pan Ye's eyes were cold, "Don't know things that you shouldn't know."

The two men under his command hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "Yes, Commander."

That's their boss.

If you say you're going to fall out, you're going to fall out.

They just wanted to ask about the reason for this incident.

Pan Ye also knew what his two subordinates meant.

However, this operation involved many people, and only he and the emperor knew about it.

So he changed his tone and said, "There's no need to follow us once we get to Jinzhou."

The men didn't understand, "Why are you shaking your head?"

They thought they would have to follow him to the place of exile.

"I didn't feel it. Has that girl noticed it? She probably treats us as bodyguards now."

"what?"

No wonder they thought that girl was acting recklessly.

It turned out that he had sensed their presence.

"Hey, boss, how are you sure she knows about us? She's just a young lady."

Pan Ye snorted and laughed, "That lady is no ordinary person. Have you forgotten that she returned when you left the city?"

Speaking of this, they both felt a little ashamed.

None of them recognized Shen Jinyao who was wearing men's clothes.

"So she noticed us from then on?"

Pan Ye nodded, "I think so. She has good observation skills."

He was also very curious about this. How could a woman who lived in seclusion know all these things?

"Okay, keep a close eye on them for the next two days to see if anyone else comes into contact with them."

The two captains under his command said in unison, "Yes, Commander."

Pan Ye thought to himself that his latest secret letter to the emperor should have been delivered to the emperor by now.

Back then, he had just finished raiding the Shen family's mansion.

He had not yet had time to report the theft that occurred in the Shen family to the emperor.

The emperor summoned him and asked him to lead a few people to catch up with the Shen family immediately.

He remembered the emperor telling him, "There might be something fishy going on with the Shen family. Go and see if someone is secretly helping them."

He was a little confused, so he asked, "Your Majesty, I don't understand."

The emperor looked at the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard whom he had personally cultivated. Apart from Eunuch Gao, he only trusted Pan Ye.

What Pan Ye didn't understand was what was so good about following a group of women and children.

The Emperor said, "The eldest prince and General Xiang submitted a joint memorial, which is well-reasoned and well-founded, and it is not difficult to arouse suspicion."

"But you should know the Marquis's character. He has always been very cautious and always does what I say in front of me."

"Hmph, I kind of believe that he was involved in the crown prince's appointment and factional strife, but I still don't quite believe that he colluded with foreign enemies."

"But it's better to kill someone by mistake than not to kill them. Let's play the long game and catch the big fish. That way we can find out who is behind this."

"They say Shen Maoshan supports the Second Prince. Haha, time will tell us the answer."

Pan Ye nodded. The emperor has always been wise.

But this kind of wisdom sometimes leads to suspicion.

But as a ruler, what's wrong with being a little suspicious?

"Your Majesty, what if no one comes into contact with the Shen family along the way?"

The emperor's eyes darkened, and just when Pan Ye thought the emperor was going to give an order, he heard him sigh.

"Forget it, let others follow. When you come back, I have other important things for you to do."

……

Pan Ye has been raised by the emperor since he was a child, and the emperor's orders are above everything else.

If the emperor ordered him to kill these people, then they would be dead in his eyes.

It's just a pity.

The smart and capable eldest daughter of the Shen family.

However, since the emperor chose not to kill, he must have his reasons.

After all, Shen Maoshan, although useless, is a loyal minister.

Compared to those four troublesome princes, he is a rare minister.

Pan Ye’s guess was correct. The emperor had already received his secret letter.

When the emperor saw the secret letter, he laughed twice.

He asked: "Eunuch Gao, there is really no one who pities the Shen family. Do you think the Shen family is very miserable?"

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said nothing.

The emperor looked at him with a smile.

This eunuch Gao is very smart and knows what to say and what not to say.

"I know even without you saying it, you think the Shen family is a loyal family and would not betray the court and displease me."

"However, since the other party wants to play chess this way, I will follow suit."

"What if the Shen family has an even bigger backer, haha."

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor ignored Eunuch Gao and picked up the letter to read it again.

It was written above that the eldest daughter of the Shen family had actually discovered their existence.

Just don't know who they are yet.

There is even suspicion that they want to use them as bodyguards.

Humph, how could his Jinyiwei be someone else's bodyguards?

Who is this eldest daughter of the Shen family?

I heard Shen Maoshan mention it before, saying that his eldest daughter has been frail and sickly since childhood and has always been bedridden.

It has become increasingly serious in the past two years and has not gotten better.

At that time, I wanted to ask him for a royal physician.

Other court officials would use the imperial physician directly, but Shen Maoshan would ask for his permission before using him.

He still remembered hearing from Concubine Xue that Xiang Hongxuan's fiancée was the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

But a few days ago, he remembered hearing General Xiang say that the two families had broken off the engagement the day before their property was searched.

At that time, he felt that General Xiang was cunning, and his second wife was from the queen's family.

This made it difficult for him not to doubt the queen.

However, he had no evidence and was thinking of asking Pan Ye to investigate the harem and several princes.

Establishing a crown prince is just an excuse.

He wanted to see who was causing the trouble.

If the Shen family had not participated in party struggles and had not collaborated with the enemy and sold out the country, they would have been mere victims.

It's just bait.

As for the woman mentioned in the letter, there is no need to be afraid of her.

It's quite interesting.

Pity.

At this time, Shen Jinyao was making an exercise plan for tomorrow. She was unaware of the danger behind her and moved away quietly.

She couldn't think of that.

She's already in the game.

I can only do my best, luckily she has space.

But it can only ensure that they have enough food and water, and they have to rely on themselves for self-defense.
