Chapter 253: Wanting Shen You to be on his side
Wen Zhi reluctantly hummed.
Of course he didn’t want Shen You and Li Heng to be alone, but he understood what Shen You meant.
Besides, he will never control her to do what he wants.
The attendant opened the door of another private room, saying it was next door, but in fact it was quite far apart.
Most of the guests who come to this floor are of high status, so it is guaranteed that they will not have ears through the wall.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the strength to open this teahouse in such a good location.
He Haizhou, who was dressed simply in the room and had obviously suffered a lot, faced Wen Zhi and bowed deeply.
Exiled from the capital, it was obviously impossible to come back so soon. He had to wait until the new king succeeded to the throne.
If the old emperor hadn't cared about this now, Li Heng wouldn't have dared to send people back to the capital.
But it was Shen You who delivered the things on the way, otherwise they wouldn't be able to endure the exile.
Wen Zhi accepted the gift without saying anything. He Haizhou said, "Thank you, Master Imperial Master, and Shopkeeper Shen for helping to save the lives of my family."
"When I returned to Beijing, I passed by my ancestral home, where I found a letter left by my ancestors, saying that the He family was ashamed of being an adult and had betrayed the family. I don’t dare to ask for forgiveness from you.
If you come back in the future and can be of use to the He family, the He family will do their best to do it for you as long as it does not harm the country and the people. "
Wen Zhi had a warm smile on his face, with sarcasm in his voice,
"Harm the country and the people of Qi? Isn't the person who did this your emperor?"
"The He family doesn't have to do anything for me. General He has already paid for it with his life."
——
At this time, the other side.
Li Heng handed the lantern in his hand to Shen You, "This is the top prize at today's lantern festival. I remember that Miss Shen is very interested in these gadgets from Daqi."
Shen You did not reach out to take it, but only said, "Thank you, but I didn't win the lantern, and the meaning of being the best is not what I want."
Hearing the polite rejection, Li Heng's eyes flashed with a trace of depression, and his face The facial expression is not surprising.
He saw Shen You at the lantern festival just now.
In the dim light, the figures of her and another man were so eye-catching that the street vendor recognized them as husband and wife, and the man rewarded them with a piece of silver.
She turned back and handed the candy painting in her hand to him to taste.
Seeing the smile on her face, Li Heng wished he could take the place of the people around her, and the strong emotion in his heart was jealousy.
He is the crown prince of Da Qi, so there is no need to be jealous of anyone.
Miss Shen should like Daqi’s Shangyuan Festival, Li Heng thought. She would take a second look at every new style lantern. At least Daqi had something she liked.
"It is impossible for my brother to sit in that position again."
Li Heng looked at the thousands of lights reflected in the river below, in the prosperous age, and continued,
"Jinghe came to beg me to save their mother-in-law. I was shaken. Only later did I know that on the day the imperial concubine was ordered to be grounded by the emperor, someone followed the order and sent Bai Ling and poisoned wine."
In order to prevent an accident after his death, he decided to take action first.
He grew up in a place like this, taking every step step by step and not daring to relax, which made him even more jealous of the person who could get Miss Shen's wholehearted help.
Shen You didn’t know why he suddenly mentioned his family affairs. That Lao Deng was not known to be cruel.
I just went to the study in Wen Zhi's mansion when I received the news that the imperial concubine had been poisoned and they wanted to kill the old emperor and seize the throne.
How important is power in the heart of the old emperor? Can he tolerate this?
Shen You waited for Li Heng’s next words.
"I have to fight when I am in the royal family. This road is too cold. I want someone to stand with me at the highest point and create a prosperous world together." Li Heng looked at Shen You deeply, "Miss Shen, If this person were you, I would admit it in front of the world and all ministers. Promise, there will never be a second woman in the harem. You and I can hold the power of the court together."
The ancient princes could make such a promise and even have no rights. Yes, it sounds really touching.
But, it just sounds like it.
She lives a good life in modern times, free and rich. She has not seen all the scenery in the world and has been to more planes.
Why should she rely on a man to give herself any rights?
Is she crazy enough to give up freedom, equality and a good life, but stay in the feudal era, give free materials and advanced technology to others, and help others create a prosperous world?
Finally got a title of Crown Princess, Queen?
Li Heng's words sound so sincere, not all because she has resources beyond this era.
At the end of the day, weigh the pros and cons.
If you can promise to take charge of power together today, you may kill her in order to seize power or control the shop tomorrow.
Why does Shen You want to gamble?
She wants to create a prosperous age and make this country strong, unless she becomes the emperor herself!
She couldn't do anything about making wedding dresses for others.
"If I say to stay, the shop will be gone. How can you give me the conditions to rule the world together?" Shen You said in a faint voice.
Li Heng never thought she would ask such a question. He opened his lips and did not answer for a while.
Look, the answer is obvious.
If you say yes now, you may not be willing in the future.
"Miss Shen"
Li Heng wanted to explain more, but Shen You interrupted him first,
"You dare to say that you want to marry me and the shop I own, and how can you With cotton textile technology, the Molotov cocktail has nothing to do with it?”
Li Heng closed his eyes, not wanting to say something he didn’t mean, so he acquiesced.
Shen You looked at him and expressed his attitude again,
"I have never been someone who can accompany you to create a prosperous world. We are not even on the same road. I am a businessman and only talk about business."
"What about him? Miss Shen once said that she would not participate in Daqi. matter, but got involved for him, he and you are the same A passer-by?"
Before Shen You could say anything, the door was pushed open, and Wen Zhi's voice came first, "Of course she treats me differently."
The tone raised. , with a lazy voice, his eyes were cold when he turned to Li Heng.
“Where she lives, men are not allowed to take concubines and must abide by male ethics, and there is no so-called imperial power.”
Li Heng frowned slightly, and he no longer restrained himself as before when facing Wen Zhi, and the fierceness of the high-ranking man was revealed at this moment.
I already have murderous intention in my heart.
But when he heard the word 'man's virtue', a trace of astonishment flashed across his face. This word was so unfamiliar to him.
"Boss, he just wants to trick you into taking advantage of you." Wen Zhi said directly to Shen You in front of Li Heng,
"Daqi is a mess."
< br>
Whoever takes over knows that the problems that have accumulated under the old emperor's governance are already serious and will break out sooner or later.
Li Heng has always abided by etiquette. When Wen Zhi said this, his face turned a little darker, and the rest of the words were squeezed out of his throat.
"I am very curious about Miss Shen's question just now. How will the National Master answer it? Aren't you asking Miss Shen to help you?"
He admitted that he came today to ask Miss Shen to help you. Be able to stand on your own side.
For Da Qi, but also for my own selfishness.
