Chapter 93 Reunion with Ye Shuyin

Chapter 93 Reunion with Ye Shuyin

Shen Nanzi picked it up suspiciously. The letter looked extremely ordinary, but the seal at the closure made her take a second look.

"Phantom Pavilion!"

She exclaimed in surprise, "Why does he have this?"

Shen Nanzi glanced at him, then opened the letter and took out the letter inside.

After reading it from top to bottom, I slammed my hand on the table in anger. Sure enough, it was her.

"The person who hired someone to kill you went to great lengths, passing the buck through multiple layers of intermediaries."

"You don't know, as long as there's a vine, you can reach the melon." Ye Shuyin picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Who are you?" Shen Nanzi looked up. "Why are you helping me?"

The Phantom Pavilion is a very mysterious organization; even Xie Yu couldn't find out about it, yet he just gave it to him so easily.

Neither she nor Lie Feng had revealed their identities to him, but it wouldn't be difficult to find out her identity.

She didn't deliberately try to completely hide it.

The difficulty lies in the fact that he actually knew what they were investigating.

This was chilling to think about, and his identity made her extremely suspicious.

Ye Shuyin put down her teacup, a smile playing on her beautiful lips. "I was deliberately sent to you."

Shen Nanzi looked at him, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What is your purpose?"

"I seduced you, so you'd sleep with me!" he said casually, as if it were a casual conversation.

Shen Nanzi was utterly shocked.

Looking into her beautiful big eyes, Ye Shuyin smiled brightly.

"Don't panic! From the moment you rushed to save me, took me to the hospital, and brought me here to treat my leg."

"I knew I couldn't complete this task!" There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, which were full of spring-like moisture. "I've always been soft on people who are too naive and too kind."

Shen Nanzi was told to her face that she was naive. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It really felt like she had been insulted.

He added, "Because when you look at me, all you see is amazement, nothing else."

"Imagine this garden full of flowers; every time you come, you are amazed, but that's all you'll ever be amazed about."

“If you leave me here for a few months, I’ll know I won’t be able to complete this task.”

"I might as well quit." Ye Shuyin took her small round fan and leisurely fanned himself.

"If you quit, will you be in danger?" Shen Nanzi asked worriedly.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Ye Shuyin's smile deepened, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Your courtyard is indeed a good hiding place; I am perfectly safe."

Shen Nanzi looked at him, and he seemed quite relaxed and at ease, not at all like someone on a mission.

No! He had just flirted with her and hadn't completely abandoned his mission; luckily, she was determined.

Why did they capture me to seduce me?

Ye Shuyin pointed to his face, "Because you and Prince Jing are not on good terms, and you are attracted to Prince Jing's good looks, you can use your handsome man to sow discord between you."

Looking at it this way, Shen Nanzi realized that what he said earlier was not wrong; she was indeed somewhat naive.

He was allowed to stay for more than half a year!

I'm used to picking up people, but this time I didn't expect to pick up someone with a specific purpose.

"Then what will you do in the future? You can't stay here with me forever. Where is your hometown? I'll send someone to escort you back."

Then he realized that if he could get information about the Phantom Pavilion, his identity must be extraordinary.

It's unclear what words triggered his emotions, but Ye Shuyin suddenly suppressed his unrestrained aura, and a faint... sadness enveloped him.

Shen Nanzi didn't know how to describe his expression at that moment.

I sensed that he was suddenly lost in some kind of memory, and there was a restrained emotion in his eyes.

After a long while, he seemed to suddenly detach himself from it and return to his previous composure.

"I have nowhere to go now, could you please take me in?"

When he asked her, the fan rested on her high, straight nose, revealing only her pair of bright, clear eyes.

Her eyelashes were thick and black, and the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, giving her a pitiful look.

"Still pretending?" Shen Nanzi chuckled. "You can stay as long as you want."

"However, I need to know who your employer is?"

Ye Shuyin said, "We can't find it."

"You were able to find this," Shen Nanzi said, pointing to the letter in her hand, "Why can't you find this one?"

He said, "That's a setup, I have a way to check it, but I can't check my own... right now."

Shen Nanzi understood the implication in his words: it's currently impossible to investigate.

She didn't reveal his identity, and naturally, she wouldn't ask.

"Alright! You can stay here without worry!"

"In order not to alert the enemy, you have to cooperate with me and make it look like I'm still doing the mission and that I've made some progress."

How to cooperate?

"Go back looking all lovestruck."

Shen Nanzi looked at him, "Me and you? And then your heart fluttered?"

"Difficult?"

"Not only is it difficult, but I simply cannot be attracted to Xie Yan." Shen Nanzi glared at him, telling him not to even think about it.

After a moment's thought, Ye Shuyin said, "Then I'll paint a picture for you."

"And you have to come see me often in the future, don't just leave me for months at a time."

He gave her a great gift, so naturally she had to take care of him in return.

She agreed and told him to hurry up and finish drawing, as she still had to go to the Grand Commandant's residence.

...

An hour later, a painting appeared in Shen Nanzi's carriage. It must be said that he painted it quite well, and he painted her beautifully.

In the Grand Commandant's mansion, Shen Nanzi had daffodils moved into the house.

When her sister-in-law Yang Wenhui saw her coming, she abandoned the flowers and led her into her brother's study.

"The Sixth Prince has been waiting for almost an hour!" Yang Wenhui said in a low voice.

Shen Nanzi had originally made an appointment with Xie Yu, but Ye Shuyin delayed her by an hour.

Upon entering the study, my sister-in-law went out, locked the door from the outside, dismissed all the servants, and personally stood guard at the door.

In his brother's study, Xie Yu sat at the head of the table, while his brother sat to his left, with a desk between them.

They are discussing politics.

Upon Shen Nanzi's arrival, Xie Yu glanced at her, and Shen Nanzi gestured for him to listen to his brother and not get distracted.

He pursed his lips, looked away, and continued talking to Shen Minghan, while she sat on the chair that had been prepared beforehand.

Shen Nanzi was not completely ignorant of court politics; she was quite knowledgeable about it, so she could understand what Shen Minghan was saying.

Women are not allowed to participate in politics in this dynasty, but her brother never hesitated to tell her about the affairs of the court.

The more you hear about it, the more you'll naturally understand the ins and outs.

Everything in this world boils down to the word "profit".

The world is still relatively peaceful now. Apart from the eleven cities lost by the Second Prince, and with the one hundred and one cities that Xie Yan has reclaimed, the territory has actually increased compared to that of our ancestors.

This is one of the reasons why Xie Yan is currently the most popular choice.

“Our biggest opponent is…” Shen Minghan pointed to a political party breakdown chart on the table.

His fingertips landed precisely on the faction of Prince Jing.

Shen Nanzi asked, "Brother, do you have any leads on the man in black who assassinated Xie Yu?"

Shen Minghan shook his head, "The arrows that were pulled out of your body were taken by Xie Yan. He said he would investigate, so he didn't intend to give them to me."

“Brother, I remember that arrowhead was made of black iron.”

Shen Minghan frowned. "What did you say?"
