As mentioned above at the critical moment of the battle between Gang and Qi, Shu Yin still refused to send troops, so Zhu Wenran sneaked into Yue Kingdom disguised as a businessman.When the two met again, they were no longer as seamless as when they were young. They looked at each other for a while, but they didn't know where the conversation started.

Shu Yin grabbed Wen Ran's shoulders, and suddenly realized that she shouldn't be rude, she let go of her hand with a silly smile, and said, "Your Highness came to Vietnam alone to save the soldiers?" Wen Ran cupped her hands and said, " The details have been submitted to the letter, since your majesty already knows, why bother to ask?” Shu Yin tilted his head and said, “It’s not as good as His Highness’s own words.” Wen Ran saw that his words were intended to be playful, and felt resentful in her heart, gritted her teeth and said , "Could it be that Your Majesty wants me to kneel down and ask for help?" After speaking, he shook off one side of his robe and raised his hand to kneel.Shu Yin hurriedly supported his hand, and kept saying, "It's not like this, it's not like this." Wen Ran withdrew her hand, glanced at him, then turned her head, "Hmph, the king Gu Zuo said that he is nothing more than Qi The country has not promised the benefits." Shu led, "Your Highness may have looked down upon this king too much." Wen Ran said, "If that is the case, why do you not want to send troops?" Shu led, "This king has never said that he would not send troops. Ah." Hearing this, Wen Ran immediately turned around, looking at him with puzzled eyes, "Your Majesty is saying that he is willing to send troops to rescue Qi?" Shu Yin smiled at him and did not answer, looking around the room, there was no one serving him. "Your Highness only needs to rest assured to live here. Later, the king will send court ladies and eunuchs to take care of the daily life." Wen Ran asked about saving Qi again, but Shu Yin always refused to promise.It wasn't until Shu Yin left that a renegotiation result was reached.

The two had a very close relationship when they were young, and now they meet and no one mentions the past.

Shu introduces Wenran, and seeing that he is very estranged from himself, and thinking about the political affairs of the three kingdoms of Mang, Qi, and Yue, he becomes depressed and loses energy.Going to Xieyu Pavilion, I saw Su Fa leaning on the building shaking a fan, with the maid Miaowen serving tea beside him.Shu Yin stepped forward silently, Miao Wen was about to salute, but Shu Yin waved her away.Su Fa turned back to get the tea, touched it twice but no one handed it to him, and was about to make a sound, but Shu Yin grabbed his waist and put it in his arms.Su Fa stared straight at him, "Why is the king acting like a cat behind his back to scare people?" Shu Yin took the folding fan in his hand, unfolded it and fanned Su Fa, and said with a smile, "Fa'er, I want to ask you to borrow something. , would you like to borrow it?" Su Fa stood up from his arms, grabbed the fan, and said, "I don't lead soldiers, and the king asked me if I would borrow it." After finishing speaking, Shu Yin took the table and brought tea have a bite.Shu Yin moved to his mouth and snatched the tea out of his mouth.Su Fa pushed it away, wiped his chin with the back of his hand, and said, "It's all poured out, here, here is your tea." He said and passed the teacup over.Shu Yin didn't answer, and said with a smile, "I like the tea in your mouth." After saying that, he didn't care whether he liked it or not, so he held him by the waist and stuffed his tongue into his mouth.

The two leaned against the pavilion railing for a while before resting. Su Fa felt a little short of breath and blushed. He turned around and looked outside the building, and asked, "Your Majesty just said that he wanted to ask me to borrow something. What do you borrow?" Shu Yin saw that his tone was getting softer, he smiled secretly, and said, "This king wants to borrow someone from Xieyu Pavilion." Su Fa wondered, "Who is it?" Shu Yin looked into the room and said , "Miaowen." Su Fa was even more surprised when he heard it, "Why do you want to borrow a maid in such a good way? Are there still few court ladies serving the king?" Shu Yin touched his hand, "Then Faer, should I borrow it or not?" Seeing him pretending to be begging, Su Fa smiled, and said, "This Yuge belongs to the king, let alone human beings? If the king wants it, just take it, why not tell me." Hair, looked at him and said, "You are the pavilion master, even this king should listen to you here." Su Fa's heart softened when he heard this, and he stretched out his arms to hug him.

In the afternoon, Zhu Wenran failed to achieve the purpose of this trip, and at this moment he was fidgeting in Fushi courtyard, not knowing how the situation of Qi country was.The envoy who came with him was placed elsewhere. Zhu Wenran wanted to leave the hospital and asked the envoy to ask questions, but was stopped by the entrance of the hospital.Seeing that there were four guards with knives, Wen Ran frowned and said, "I am going to Yue as the prince of Qi, and I am not a prisoner. Why don't you let me go out?" Don’t let me go!” Wen Ran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his whole body turned cold, recalling what Shu Yin had just said, “His Royal Highness only lives here with peace of mind, and the king will send maids and eunuchs to take care of the daily life later.” It seemed that he intended to imprison himself.Thinking of this, he grabbed the guard's halberd and said loudly, "Call Shu Yin to come here!" The guards ignored him.This Fushi Courtyard is far away from the main hall, and Ren Wenran can't hear how he scolded Shu Yin, let alone Shu Yin was joking with them in Xie Yu Pavilion at the moment.

Zhu Wenran was furious and wanted to rush out, but how could he get out of Fushi Courtyard by himself, how could he get out of this palace compound, how could he get out of Fangcheng.After arguing and repairing, they finally gave up, hung their heads, and scolded themselves for being stupid and unrighteous.Go back to the room, lie on the bed, and think about countermeasures.I don't know when I fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, it was dusk.With her mind fixed, Wen Ran thought of what happened today, and was panicking, so she jumped up from the bed.It's strange when I wake up, it's not for other reasons, but I don't know who took off my shoes and socks while I was asleep, and hung up the bed curtain.After leaving the bedroom, looking across the curtain, there is someone moving in the outer room.Wen Ran's heart tightened, she only said it was a temptation, and hurriedly opened the curtain to come out.

The person outside the curtain was Miaowen. Miaowen turned around when she heard the sound behind her, and when she saw Wenran, she lowered her head and bowed gently, "Your Majesty is waiting for you to change clothes." Wenran saw that she was just a maid, not Shu Yin, but when he thought that this person was sent by Shu Yin, the anger in his heart turned towards Miaowen.When Miaowen stepped forward, Wen Ran shook her hand and pushed her against the desk beside her. A pear wood embossed food box was also knocked over on the ground, spilling wine and food all over the floor.Miaowen fell to the ground and was stunned for a moment. Seeing Wenran stepping on the ground barefoot, she pursed her lips and got up without saying a word, and went to the bedroom to get her shoes and socks.Wen Ran snatched the shoes and socks from her hand, and snorted, "Go and tell the king of Yue, don't be hypocritical here, if you want to imprison me, just treat me as a prisoner." Seeing the food box rolling on the ground, she stepped forward kicked to the door, and said, "I didn't realize how despicable and cunning she is!"

Miaowen didn't make a sound, went to the door to pick up the food box, and slowly picked up the spilled food.Wen Ran stood aside, seeing that the little maid was not afraid of her words and deeds, she was also very impressed, and laughed to herself, if not for this, how could Shu Yin send her here.Looking at the food on the ground, ham, sauce, duck, and beans are all common items in Huai Gao. Thinking that Shu Yin might not be so careful, she turned her head and asked the maid, "Who prepared this food?" Miao Wen squatted on the ground to pick up food , without looking up, said, "It was prepared by the servant girl." Wen Ran was suspicious, and asked, "Have you been to Huaigao?" Miaowen said, "Huaigao is the hometown." Ask calmly, "Did the King of Yue tell you to say this?" At this moment Miaowen packed up the remnants, stood up and smiled slightly at Wen Ran, and said, "Since Your Highness can think that this identity may be false, how can King Yue think that His Highness can't think of it?" Well. Spreading such a little panic will only make His Highness even more dissatisfied." Wen Ran snorted, turned around, and asked, "Who are you?" Miao Wen said, "The servant girl is a maid in the palace." Wen Ran turned around again, stared at her face for a while, and then said, "You don't need to say anything, anyway, I know you didn't harm me." After a pause, she said, "Here, I have no value of being killed. gone."

Zhu Wenran came for a few days, but there was no movement.One day after the court, Gong Peiyin went to the back of the hall to ask to see Shu Yin.Shu Yin was going to Xieyu Pavilion, and met Pei Yin on the way.Gong Peiyin stopped him, Shu Yin pretended to be puzzled, and asked, "The Prime Minister has something to say?" Gong Peiyin cupped his hands and said, "That's right." " Pei Yin said solemnly, "It's not appropriate to make a statement about the king's reputation." Shu Yinlan glanced at him, waved back and forth, and said, "Prime Minister, please tell me." Pei Yin stretched out his hands from his sleeves, Solemnly bowed in front of Shu Yin, and said, "I heard that the king has put Prince Qi under house arrest?" Shu Yin did not raise his eyes, but denied, "There are so many people in the palace, so the prime minister can't be trusted with gossip." Gong Peiyin said, "It's good if it's not, I'm afraid I heard it wrong." Shu Yin snorted, helped Pei Yin up, looked at his face, and asked, "What if the king really put Prince Qi under house arrest?" " Pei Yin said, "It is absolutely impossible." He asked, "Why not?" He replied, "Qi country is in disaster, Prince Qi is here to borrow troops and ask for help. If Your Majesty takes advantage of this danger and puts him under house arrest , then wouldn’t he become a person who seeks profit and forgets righteousness. Now the country is prosperous and prosperous, and the king is wise and benevolent, so how can he lose the hearts of the people because of this?” Shu Yin paused for a while, and then asked the public Pei Yin said, "The Prime Minister's intention is..." "Send troops immediately to help the country of Qi." Gong Peiyin bent down and bowed again, waiting for Shu Yin's reply.Shu Yin no longer supported him, instead, he brushed his shoulders and walked away. When he left, Fang Dao said, "The Prime Minister has listened to this king."

On the second day, Shu Yin removed the guards at the gate of Fu Shi Yuan.

Zhu Wenran got up early, and Miaowen helped him wash his face and comb his hair. He said inadvertently, "Fushiyuan is strangely deserted today, and there is not even a guard at the door." Wenran stood up immediately after hearing this, but she didn't know that Miaowen was arresting him As soon as he combed his hair, he let out a groan at this moment, and supported his head again for a while.Miaowen hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Highness, please forgive me." Wen Ran ignored her, covered her head and frowned and asked, "You just said that there is no guard guarding the gate of this courtyard?" Miaowen nodded, "Slave I came to deliver breakfast early in the morning, and there was no one there." Wen Ran was overjoyed, waved her to get up, and said, "Quick, change my clothes quickly, I'm going to see the king."

After Miaowen finished sorting out for herself, Wen Ran hurried out.Wen Ran has been locked up in the courtyard for the past few days, and she no longer knows how the battle in Qi State is going.Wen Ran met a group of young eunuchs on the road, and Wen Ran stopped her and asked, "Eunuch, do you know where the King is at the moment?" Those eunuchs had just entered the palace and were not yet eligible to see Shu Yin.Seeing Wen Ran ask, they all shook their heads and didn't know.Wen Ran groaned, and then hurried to Shu Yin's bedroom.

It's just that no one stopped him along the way.When I went to the bedroom, I knew that Shuyin was in Xieyu Pavilion.

The palace is so big, Xieyu Pavilion and Xiaoxiaoyu Pavilion, how could they be found if someone hadn't introduced them to them.Although I met people on the road, Wen Ran asked each other, but they didn't know the answer.Just when I didn't know what to do, I heard shouts behind me.Wen Ran turned her head and saw Gong Peiyin walking towards her quickly.This Gong Peiyin was the mastermind who designed to use Wenran as a bait to lure away the soldiers from the gangster country, and it was he who knocked Zhu Wenran unconscious on the carriage.Wen Ran didn't know why, when she saw him coming, she turned around and wanted to leave.Gong Peiyin hurriedly grabbed his robe, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please listen to Pei Yin's words." Zhu Wenran turned her head and looked at each other coldly.Pei Yin said, "Is Your Highness going to the Xieyu Pavilion to ask the king to send troops?" Wen Ran snorted, but remained silent.Pei Yin said, "If that's the case, it won't be too late to go after your Highness listens to me." Wen Ran sneered, "Mr. is now a high-ranking official with a rich salary, so why bother to curry favor with a poor prince?" Regarding the matter, he said, "Rong Peiyin will explain to His Royal Highness what happened at the beginning, and the most urgent thing is how to get the king to send troops." Wen Ran was saying this in his heart, although he didn't know what the other party was thinking, so why not listen, so he asked "A few days ago, the king himself promised to send troops to rescue Qi. Does the prime minister think that what King Jinkou said doesn't count?" Gong Peiyin said, "Then, did the king say when to send troops with His Highness?" Zhu Wenran was at a loss for words.Gong Peiyin shook his head lightly, and sighed, "Nowadays, the state of Qi is in such a hurry that it is very different to send troops a day later than an earlier day." Wen Ran glanced at him and asked intentionally, "I don't know if the prime minister can Have a clever plan, can you make the king send troops immediately?" Gong Peiyin looked up, then at Wen Ran, "Hey, it can't be called a plan, it's the only feasible method at the moment." Zhu Wenran saw his solemn demeanor and serious expression, Seemingly not intending to deceive, he asked for advice, "Sir, please tell me." Gong Peiyin said, "The war between the Qi State and the Mang State is not only irrelevant to the Yue State, but it also gave the Yue State an opportunity to dominate Youhuan. Previously, the King Although he intends to conquer the surrounding countries, the gangster country in the northwest corner of Nai is staring at it covetously, so he dare not act rashly. Now that the gangster and Qi are at war, the more they can take advantage of the time when the gangster has no time to take care of it, the more they can invade and occupy all parts of Huan. The king's heart is like a mirror, no matter how much I persuade, Your Majesty will not even pay attention to it, he must seize this opportunity and win Youhuan. Now that the matter is half done, if the Majesty wants to give up Youhuan's hegemony, he must use greater benefits to lure him to send troops. And this trip His Highness not only He did not go on a mission as the prince of Qi, but disguised himself as a commoner, how can the king give up his fat mouth and be willing to burn himself?" Wen Ran pondered for a moment, and said, "Then according to what the prime minister said, I will promise the king of Yue, How about the five cities of Qi State in exchange for this help?" Pei Yin shook his head and said, "It takes ten cities and tens of thousands of gold to make his heart move." Wen Ran shook her body and said in surprise, "What a big appetite!" Pei Yin Yin said, "Instead of destroying the country, it is better to exchange ten cities for Gouquan first. As long as the foundation is still there, why worry that the dynasty will not be revived." Wen Ran thought for a while and nodded.Pei Yin said again, "Did your Highness bring the crown prince's jade badge with you during this trip? When you meet the king, you will make a promise in black and white and sign it to show your sincerity." Wen Ran agreed.Everything has been explained, Pei Yin wants to say goodbye.Wen Ran stopped, and asked, "Why did you come up with this plan to help, sir?" Gong Peiyin turned around and bowed, and said, "The former Minister of Rites is exactly my father." Wen Ran was stunned, and when Pei Yin looked up again, has gone.

That night, Wen Ran just found out that Shu Yin had returned to her bedroom, so she left the hospital to look for her.The eunuch who heard the report said that Wenran was seeking an audience outside the palace, and he was not surprised. He took off his robe and handed it to the maid, "Please come in." Zhu Wenran followed the eunuch into the palace and entered the room. The palace lady was changing clothes and taking off the belt for Shu Yin, so she bowed to Shu Yin and said, "Prince of Qi Kingdom, I wish Wen Ran to pay homage to the King of Yue." Shu Yin saw that his face was completely devoid of arrogance, and his posture was also respectful, so he frowned and looked at him sideways , asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why did Your Highness get up?" Wen Ran still raised his hands, and said, "I have something from the bottom of my heart that I want to speak to the king, can the king retreat first?" Waving, "Stand back first." After going left and right, she approached Wen Ran and said softly, "Words from the bottom of my heart?" Wen Ran did not avoid it, and took out a piece of white silk from her bosom, which was densely covered with handwriting, and held it flat with her hands. Pass it to Shu Yin's eyes.Shu Yin didn't blink his eyes, he only glanced at the silk cloth from the corner of his eye, the letter was exactly what Gong Peiyin said, and the silk cloth was covered with a big prince's signature on the lower left.Shu Yin grabbed the cloth, put her head next to Wen Ran's ear, chuckled, and said, "This matter is very wonderful. Originally, the king only wanted you to agree to one condition, but now you are the one who adds many benefits to this condition." , don’t blame me.” Wen Ran was so shocked that she had no time to dodge, so Shu Yin grabbed her waist with one hand.Shu led the way, "The condition is that the crown prince of Qi Kingdom is the quality of Yue."
