Chapter 483 As long as Xiao Heyu can afford this person
In an instant, a cold wind blew up and the two men started fighting.
The Queen Mother looked directly at the stage, but her words were directed to Shen Shuyi: "You are not worried at all."
Shen Shuyi said respectfully: "I once fell into the hunting grounds of the Third Prince, but was fortunately rescued by him. My life was saved by him, so even if he lost, I have no regrets."
Emperor Qianwu, who was standing aside, remained calm, but took the words to heart.
Concubine Rou's throat tightened, but her expression was not very pretty: "Really? I haven't heard He Yu mention it before. I didn't expect that you and he have such a fate."
Seeing that Concubine Rou was trying to make the relationship between her and Xiao Heyu ambiguous, Shen Shuyi was not panicked.
"Your Highness the Third Prince loves the people like his own children and is well-known for his virtue. The people he has saved are not just this minister."
After hearing this, Concubine Rou felt upset.
This Shen Shuyi is really good at lying!
He Yu was too late to kill her, so when did he save her life?
What's more, He Yu has always loved to make trouble in the hunting ground. If Your Majesty really believes her nonsense and investigates it, He Yu will be in trouble.
Concubine Rou stared at the stage, but she had murderous intentions towards Shen Shuyi in her heart.
Shen Shuyi pretended not to know. That’s right, there was nothing to be afraid of.
As long as Xiao Heyu can afford to lose this person, she is not afraid of being married to Qiu Zehua, the prince of Luo State.
After all, Xiao Heyu is more afraid of losing than her.
As for the matter of Xiao Heyu saving her, she was not afraid of Emperor Qianwu sending people to investigate.
There are many tricks in Xiao Heyu's hunting ground. Not to mention the weapons he secretly stored, just the fact that he shot civilians of unknown origin in the hunting ground. All these things are enough to make him suffer a lot if you check them out.
She had limited manpower, so how could she compare to the emperor in front of her.
Instead of her going to great lengths to investigate, it would be better to make the emperor suspicious.
"Princess Changning is about to reach marriage age, and I guess Minister Shen hasn't arranged a marriage for you yet." Concubine Rou chatted while looking at her son on the stage.
It was obvious that he wanted to lead Shen Shuyi's previous remarks into the love between men and women, so as to avoid the incident in the hunting ground from attracting the attention of Emperor Qianwu.
Shen Shuyi said bluntly: "The master of the Jade Buddha Temple once read my horoscope and said that my fate is tough and I will be unlucky in marriage. My father is also worried about my weak body, so he wants to keep me in the mansion for a few more years."
Shen Shuyi's words successfully attracted the emperor's attention.
After all, everyone likes to put a halo on themselves. There may not be many people who can openly say things like "you have a hard fate and will bring bad luck to your husband's family" in front of a group of aristocratic families.
Emperor Qianwu's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi and he looked her up and down: "It seems that not only are you not afraid of death, but you also don't want to get married."
Shen Shuyi knew that the emperor was threatening her to investigate the matter of the late second prince.
Shen Shuyi lowered her eyes and said obediently, "I will serve you, Your Majesty, even if my life is short."
Emperor Qianwu sneered, his aura intimidating: "You have done a good job for my mother, but how can you say you work for me?"
Shen Shuyi had to admit that the aura of those who had been in high positions for a long time was terrifying.
In other words, what is terrifying is not the emperor in front of him, but the power of life and death in his hands.
Shen Shuyi said earnestly: "Although I am working for the Queen Mother, mother and son are connected by heart. What the Queen Mother worries about is also what your Majesty is worried about. If I can solve your Majesty's problem, I will die without regrets."
Shen Shuyi's words were beautifully spoken, implying that although your mother asked me to investigate Xiao Huaijin's affairs, she is still your mother after all, and would never harm you.
Although I have taken on this task, it is also a knot in your heart. If I can help you untie the knot, I will have no regrets even if I die.
Emperor Qianwu stared at her for a while, but finally he couldn't afford to offend the empress dowager.
Perhaps touched by Shen Shuyi's words, he sighed and softened his tone: "Then let me see how capable you are."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Shuyi retreated to the position behind the Queen Mother, knowing that he had temporarily passed the test of Emperor Qianwu.
At this moment, in the audience.
Xiao Heyu and Qiu Zehua fought to a stalemate. The Luo people have always been strong and strong, and Lou Zehua is the best among them.
This time he was on a diplomatic mission to Daqian on behalf of the Luo State, and he came well prepared, so he was not afraid at all.
Xiao Heyu can stand out among all the princes, so naturally he is no ordinary person. The fight between the two of them is quite interesting to watch.
"Your Highness will win!"
"Your Highness is mighty!"
The soldiers and court officials watching on the sidelines were so excited that they felt it was extremely thrilling.
Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes and looked at the stage below. In just a few moments, both of them were covered in bruises. Qiu Zehua's fighting style was fierce and powerful, and extremely aggressive, like a violent storm, which made it hard for people to breathe.
Xiao Heyu initially kept some backup plans. After all, he and Qiu Zehua had always been in contact with each other, and he didn't want to really fall out.
Most of the official silver he obtained in Jiangnan was brought back after transactions with several countries surrounding Yancheng.
He sold a batch of Daqian's extremely low-cost goods at a high price, and Qiu Zehua was responsible for the purchase.
In this way, the relief money withheld from the flood in the south of the Yangtze River can legitimately go into his uncle's pocket, and the money saved by Qiu Zehua can also go into his own pocket.
It was such a win-win situation, Xiao Heyu didn't want to fall out.
But the more Xiao Heyu was beaten, the angrier he became. Seeing Qiu Zehua punching him hard in the face, Xiao Heyu's eyes became vicious.
Until his sword collided with his spear, Xiao Heyu whispered: "You are serious."
Qiu Zehua also said: "Third Prince, Qiu did not use his full strength."
Xiao Heyu laughed angrily: "If you cooperate with me to finish this scene, I will give you three times the goods next year."
After just a few words, Qiu Zehua's spear pierced into Xiao Heyu's armor.
"He Yu!" Concubine Rou cried out in the stands and stood up suddenly.
Emperor Qianwu and his entourage all had solemn expressions. After all, if Xiao Heyu lost to Qiu Zehua today, Daqian would be in disgrace.
The spear penetrated the armor. Although Xiao Heyu was prepared, Qiu Zehua was extremely strong and the spear still penetrated half an inch.
For a moment, blood gushed out on the cold armor.
But because of the extremely cold weather, the blood soon froze into frost.
The weather was getting colder and colder, with light snow gradually falling from the sky, and it was also a bit gloomy.
"I'm sorry, Third Prince, but today, I must win!" Qiu Zehua said in a cold voice, full of pride.
Xiao Heyu sneered: "What a coincidence, Your Highness thinks so too."
Just as Shen Shuyi thought, although the two were in cahoots with each other, they each had their own stances. As the fight went on, they turned against each other and started to fight for real.
For a moment, only the afterimages of two people were left on the arena, with sword energy overflowing and spears shining like sharp blades!
Soon.
With a 'bang', Qiu Zehua flew out and hit the edge of the arena.
"it is good!!!"
The soldiers and court officials of Daqian cheered and felt quite relieved.
Xiao Heyu managed to stand firm, and the next moment, everyone saw him covering his chest with one hand and spitting out blood.
"Your Highness!"
