Chapter 271 The Snow on the Winter Solstice
Shen Yu suddenly looked up, yes, isn’t there any obvious problem with such an unreasonable two people coming together?
Xiang Tu's scalp was numb when he saw him, "General?"
Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "Immediately ask someone to check it out."
Xiang Tu looked confused, "What are you looking for?"
"Check the origin of the little widow and find out where they moved!"
Shen Yu really didn't expect that he would be fooled one day and even thought he had capsized in the gutter.
It was just that he fell into Wen Wan's hands, but this time, he was fooled by a widow and a poor scholar?

The cold wind cleaned the leaves all over the ground. As soon as the autumn scenery ended, the first snow fell rustling.
On the winter solstice, the blue bricks outside the Golden Palace were covered with a thin layer of snow. After retreating from the court, the ministers left the hall one after another.
In previous years, they should have invited them to go to Taoyuan Building to eat mutton pots.
But today, they all had heavy expressions, and no one mentioned this.
"Oh, the emperor has really moved this time, and even General Shen has been beaten."
"Who can you blame this? It's just that Shen Yu made a military order in front of the saint to find the treasure in Cang Qimi box. But it's been a year since then. Not only has the treasure not been found, but a lot of money and manpower are also invested."
"Didn't you find a drawing of a combo crossbow?"
"Hey, what's the use of a broken drawing? The Ministry of War has been using it for so long, and hasn't it been impossible to make a useful combo crossbow?"
Perhaps this issue involved the Ministry of War, and several people did not continue to talk about it in disappointment, but turned the topic back to Shen Yu's case.
"Now everyone is talking about it. The Cangqimi Box is a scam left by the traitors of the previous dynasty."
"It doesn't matter if a scam is not a scam anymore. Anyway, General Shen got beaten with a slap, and the emperor ordered him to go back to the border town to continue to guard the border."
"Hey, didn't you say that you would leave a child for the Shen family to let him go back to the border?"
"It's different from the past. The emperor was angry. How could he care about whether the Shen family has children?"
"That's true."
A group of ministers said as they walked, scattered snowflakes fell on everyone's court robes, leaving only cold white spots.
On the steps in the distance, Zhou Lingling, wrapped in a fur cloak, heard the comments of these people.
The expression on his face was ugly, and he turned to ask the little eunuch beside him.
"Where is General Shen?"
The little eunuch replied, "General Shen was sent to the palace gate after being beaten by the board. He should be about to leave the palace now."
"Go. Go and take a look." Zhou Lingling walked towards the palace gate.
Although the little eunuch was confused, he did not talk much, so he just bent his waist and carried an umbrella for Zhou Lingling to move forward.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the palace gate and saw several eunuchs lifting Shen Yu, who was beaten to the carriage.
Zhou Lingling approached, and the palace people immediately stopped their hands and saluted him.
Zhou Lingling waved her hand and looked down at Shen Yu, who was lying on the stretcher with a pale face.
Zhou Lingling curled her lips and spit out two words.
"I deserve it."
Shen Yu: “…”
Since Wen Wan left the General's Mansion, Zhou Lingling blamed Shen Yu for leaving her.
In Zhou Lingling's opinion, if Shen Yu had not been unwilling to give Wen Wan a flat wife, Wen Wan would not have been unable to stay in the general's mansion.
So in the past few months, Zhou Lingling has never stepped into the General's Mansion and has no interaction with Shen Yu.
Even though Zhou Lingling knew very well that his current situation was not suitable to be accused of being a person like Shen Yu, he just didn't like Shen Yu.
Zhou Lingling looked at Shen Yu's nose not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, and he didn't like anything.
"I heard you are going back to the border town?" Zhou Lingling asked coldly.
Shen Yu: "Uh...yes." Zhou Lingling snorted lightly and ordered the people around him, "You all stay away from you. I have a few words to explain to him."
The palace people responded and sent Shen Yu into the carriage and retreated respectfully ten feet away.
Zhou Lingling climbed onto the carriage on her footstool. After the curtain was lowered, the smell of blood was faintly floating in the air.
He frowned and his eyes fell on the clothes under Shen Yu. The bright red blood had already wet the robe on his back.
This winter, he felt pain and cold when he looked at it.
For some reason, the little anger in my heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
When he spoke again, Zhou Lingling's tone showed a little melancholy.
"When she left, she didn't leave a single word with me. Now... even you are leaving."
Seeing his expression, Shen Yu couldn't help but raise his lips, "What, the prince can't bear to leave me?"
This is what I say...
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Zhou Lingling glared, "Ha, don't gild your face. If it weren't for the sake of my sister, I would never say a word to you."
"Oh." Shen Yu replied without comment.
After a while, Zhou Lingling said slowly, "It's better to go back to the border town. This imperial capital is really not a place for people to stay. Life is boring."
Shen Yu didn't answer the conversation, just listened quietly.
After returning to the palace, Zhou Lingling was trapped inside the palace wall. She seemed to have a transcendent status, but in fact, she missed the wonderful time in the town countless times when she was young.
In the past, Wen Wan was there, and he had a person who could speak. Whether it was Wen Wan or Shen Yu, they were the only person he trusted.
But now, Wen Wan left without saying goodbye, and even this annoying Shen Yu is leaving.
Shen Yu was as smart as a man, and he could not see Zhou Lingling's contradictory thoughts.
His eyes sank, hesitated for a moment, took out a wooden sign from his arms and stuffed it on Zhou Lingling's hand.
"If you call her sister, I will treat you as my brother too. Take this..."
Shen Yu paused and said in a deep voice: "The Shen family cannot stand behind King Cang, but if it is time to be at risk of life, I, Shen Yu, must do my best to save me."
Zhou Lingling was stunned, as if she didn't expect him to say such words.
After a while, Zhou Ling smiled quietly, his eyes were slightly red and his voice was trembling.
"So, do you think I won't live long?"
Shen Yu did not answer this question immediately. He thought for a moment before he spoke solemnly.
"The Empress Dowager is old, but the Wei family refuses to decline, and you are the key to the Wei family's consolidation of power. So... in the past two years, the imperial capital will not be peaceful."
The fate of some people has been written from the moment they were born, and Zhou Lingling's bloodline gave him no way out.
Zhou Lingling held the inconspicuous wooden sign and remained silent for a long time.
The snow outside the carriage seemed to be getting heavier, and a cold wind poured in through the gap, and Zhou Lingling couldn't help but shivered.
He came to his senses, put away the wooden sign, and lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, he turned around and said.
"If... she comes to news, the messenger will tell me."
"Yeah." Shen Yu immediately responded and shouted to Zhou Lingling's back: "Your Highness."
Zhou Lingling paused and turned around.
Then he saw Shen Yu clasping his fists at him and saying, "Take care."
Zhou Lingling waved her hand, but no response.
He got off the carriage and soon stepped into the wind and snow. His back, wrapped in a fur cloak, was left with loneliness.
