In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Xu Miao seemed to have thought of something and almost spit out the sobering soup he had drunk. His eyes widened and he looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

Thinking of the ridiculous things he did yesterday, Xu Miao couldn't help but cautiously probe, "Brother Shen, you won't be angry, right?"

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, why think so much? Shen Wenjun isn't that petty. But I don't know why he ran away this morning and didn't even stay to say hello to us."

Su Zhizhi felt that there must be something fishy going on, but she couldn't guess anything because she didn't have the ability to enter dreams and didn't see the erotic scene in Shen Wenjun's dream.

While the two were chatting about gossip in the boudoir, Xie Chengjin was also preparing to go to court. As luck would have it, he ran into Shen Wenjun who was standing solemnly beside him.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Thank you brother."

Shen Wenjun avoided looking at him, but Xie Chengjin came over and joked with her.

"Brother Shen, why did you run away? Are you afraid that the princess will stick to you? I saw that you didn't resist last night."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Wenjun's face turned red, "Xie brother, don't talk nonsense..."

Shen Wenjun's voice became smaller and smaller, and even the last word could not be heard. However, without the dream last night, he did not feel guilty. Now, it was hard to say.

……

There was nothing major happening in the capital today. After the grand court meeting, the emperor left Xie Chengjin, Shen Wenjun and the fifth prince alone, apparently intending to assign them tasks privately.

"My dear ministers, the Empress and Xu Wanqing are now in your care. Arrest them as soon as possible. The Fifth Prince is primarily responsible for this matter, and with your assistance, there will be no accidents."

The fifth prince was not happy at all. Didn’t this mean that the throne would soon belong to him?

Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun remained calm and bowed in agreement.

Afterwards, the fifth prince waited for the two of them at the entrance of the hall, wanting to invite them to a restaurant for dinner. Ostensibly, he wanted to discuss the matter of hunting down the queen, and the two did not refuse.

Unexpectedly, he met the Seventh Prince while having a meal.

The plan itself arranged for someone to keep an eye on the three of them. When they learned that they were having dinner together, their faces became gloomy, as if they had guessed something.

"Go and keep an eye on them yourself and see if you can get any useful information. Father must have a purpose for keeping the fifth brother here. Perhaps we should take action against him."

If the emperor has really made a decision, then they have no choice but to rise up in rebellion.

Compared with the flashing swords and fighting tensely on the prince's side, the only thing left was the clinking of glasses. Everyone got drunk, and even the fifth prince rarely drank too much.

Fortunately, Shen Wenjun and Xie Chengjin were still able to remain sober, but their faces were slightly red. The fifth prince had a poor alcohol tolerance, and after drinking for a while he was forced to be taken away safely by his men.

"Brother Shen, how about coming back with me to our house to have some more drinks?" Xie Chengjin took the initiative to invite Shen Wenjun.

"I'd be happy to." Shen Wenjun nodded and agreed.

Shen Wenjun went there happily, but when he arrived at Xie's house, he found that Xu Miao had not left yet. This made his body stiffen and he stood there, unable to move forward or backward.

"Xie brother, I suddenly remembered something, let's talk another day."

Shen Wenjun changed her mind and wanted to escape.

Su Zhizhi had already noticed that they had returned. Seeing that Shen Wenjun was about to leave, she quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Master Shen, where are you going? Since you are here, why don't you sit for a while before leaving?"

"Miaomiao, come and show Lord Shen to a seat."

Su Zhizhi winked at Xu Miao, and Xu Miao, blushing, grabbed Shen Wenjun's other arm and dragged him into the house.

Xie Chengjin, who was standing by, saw the physical contact between the two and felt jealous, but Su Zhizhi didn't notice anything unusual.

"Luckily, today we can seize the opportunity to bring them together again. When you left, I was still thinking about what excuse I could use to get them together again. I didn't expect that they would have the chance to meet again so soon."

Su Zhizhi had a smile on her face. She felt that after a few more times, there shouldn't be any more accidents between them.

"By the way, why did you drink so much before you came back?"

"The Fifth Prince is hosting a banquet. Something happened in the court."

Naturally, there was nothing to hide in front of Su Zhizhi, so Xie Chengjin told her all the arrangements made by the emperor.

On the other side, Xu Miao stuck to Shen Wenjun and poured him wine. Because of the erotic dream last night, Shen Wenjun didn't dare to look directly at Xu Miao.

He could only seek help from the other two people present, but they ignored him completely.

This way he had to cope with it alone, and was stretched to the limit.

That night, Xie Chengjin hugged Su Zhizhi under the influence of alcohol. No matter how Su Zhizhi pushed him away, he did not let go.

"Zhizhi, you smell so good."

Xie Chengjin lowered his head and kissed Su Zhizhi. Su Zhizhi did not refuse and stood on tiptoe to kiss him. Outside the house, everything was silent, while inside the house was full of spring.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

The Fifth Prince gained complete power in the court with the help of this person, and many people chose to join him.

In addition to some originally neutral people, many of the Seventh Prince's subordinates also switched to the Fifth Prince. This made the Seventh Prince realize that he had to be prepared, otherwise the situation would get worse and worse.

"Your Highness, everyone who needs to be notified has been notified. They will meet at the mansion tonight."

"Very good, you go down first. Be careful tonight and don't let anyone in."

The Seventh Prince summoned his close associates to discuss countermeasures. He planned to take action against the Fifth Prince during the next hunting trip.

Maybe this wasn't a great opportunity, but he had no other choice.

Normally, the Fifth Prince would be accompanied by a lot of people whenever he went out, just to prevent this kind of situation from happening. When hunting, arrangements could be made in advance, and the Fifth Prince would also let down his guard.

When the time comes, we must kill him with one blow.

"Your Highness, I will make arrangements as soon as possible and ambush the Qiu Hunting Grounds in advance."

"Remember, everything must be kept secret. Don't let too many people know about this except you."

"My subordinate understands."

The Seventh Prince was about to arrange for everyone to take action when he suddenly noticed a figure flashing outside the house.

"Who is it? Get out of here!"

"No, I was discovered."

Shen Wenjun panicked and prepared to escape, but this was the enemy's base camp. He had penetrated deep into the area and had no chance of leaving. He was caught before he could even convey what he had overheard.

As for why he was in the Seventh Prince's residence, it was a long story. Not long ago, he happened to encounter the Seventh Prince's trusted subordinates gathering in a furtive manner, so he followed them to take a look.

Who would have thought that he would find out such a secret, which would lead to him being imprisoned. It may not be easy to escape.

"Shen Wenjun, you actually dared to steal from my house. You searched high and low for something, but now you have it without any effort."

"Take him away and keep him under strict guard. Don't let him leave."

The Seventh Prince felt vaguely frightened.

Fortunately, this hidden danger was discovered in advance, otherwise it would have been leaked before they could take action.
