Chapter 350
After Chu Li ascended the throne, the chaotic city of Chang'an gradually calmed down, and the common people didn't have to worry as much as before.

Chu Li still has a lot of things to do, because of the civil strife in several months, big and small affairs are piled up together, Chu Li is so busy that she loses her hair every day, Wu Quan asked the imperial dining room to make more medicinal food for hair growth.

The king of Qin has already led his troops to Yuecheng, and he will definitely take back Yuecheng.

Although Shen Yuan was conferred the title of Imperial Teacher of the Ming Dynasty, she did not actually have any real power, and Daming did not enshrine the Imperial Teacher as a god like Nanjiang did.However, just having the title of national teacher for nothing is a height beyond the reach of all the ministers.

Chu Li even gave Shen Yuan the right not to salute anyone, including him, and the privilege to freely enter and leave the palace.

If Shen Yuan hadn't refused, the plaque of the Zhongyihou Mansion would have been replaced with the National Teacher's Mansion, and it would have been expanded several times.

However, just when Shen Yuan became a highly anticipated existence, another good news came from Yuecheng.

The king of Nanjiang, Yujia, went on a personal expedition. Since the fall of Yuecheng, he was taken down by three cities in a row. King Qin was seriously injured and retreated to Yuxia Pass after his defeat.

The person who seriously injured the King of Qin was a general under the King of Nanjiang.

The letter about that person sent back from the front line stated that that person was Wei Yan, the heir of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, and he surrendered to the King of Southern Border, beheading hundreds of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield.

When Shen Yuan heard the news, she overturned the teacup in her hand, and the tea spilled all over the table, slowly staining dark marks on the spread map of southern Xinjiang.

"Concubine Shizi..." In the one year that Ah Zhe had been with Shen Yuan, it was the first time that she saw Shen Yuan panic like this, trembling all over, and her peach blossom eyes were full of fear.

"You go out, I'll just calm down." Shen Yuan closed her eyes and said to A Zhe.

A Zhe couldn't comfort others, so he could only retreat and wait for Shen Yuan's next order.

Many images flashed before Shen Yuan's eyes, the southern border palace, the blood pool, Wei Yan, the battlefield...

It seemed that Wei Yan's desperate roar in the pool of blood could still be heard in his ears, and Shen Yuan's heart was trembling, with a tearing pain in his chest.

Shen Yuan wanted to pour herself a cup of tea, but her hands were so trembling that she couldn't pick up anything.

Shen Yuan opened her mouth and bit the back of her hand, and soon tasted the bloody smell, she told herself to calm down, not to collapse at this time, Wei Yan is still waiting for her...

She made an appointment with Wei Yan and must meet each other.

Even if the deadline of two months has already passed.

The pot-bellied porcelain vase placed next to the table case has been filled to the brim with scrolls. All the paintings were made by Shen Yuan, and the contents of the scrolls will always be Wei Yan alone.

During the days when she was separated from Wei Yan, only these scrolls accompanied Shen Yuan for a long time.

……

With the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Li had one more thing to worry about every day. He had plans to go on a personal conquest, but those old officials didn't agree.

After all, Chang'an City was stabilized with great difficulty, if something happened to Wei Li on the battlefield, Chang'an City would have another round of storms.

The food and grass on the front line cannot be broken, Wei Li has appointed a transfer envoy to transport the food and grass to Yuxia Pass, and will leave in a few days.

And the appointed transfer envoy, coincidentally, is the son of the Minister of Rites, Zhao Xian.

Although Zhao Xian's private life is a bit chaotic, giving people the impression that he is a dandy and unrestrained, romantic and unrestrained, but in the official arena he is extremely careful, and people can't find out where he is going wrong.

During the battle between Wei Sheng and Wei Li for the heir apparent, even Zhao Xian's father, Minister of the Ministry of Rituals, was affected a little bit, and almost lost his head.But Zhao Xian was able to thrive in the court and was safe in the end.

Now Chang'an City is full of talk about the war in southern borders and the rebellion of Prince Qin's son, but the emperor did not speak out to dispose of Prince Qin's mansion, and no one dared to say loudly that Prince Qin's son was a traitor, so they could only discuss in a low voice.

Perhaps everyone hoped that King Qin's son had already died in battle, and they were even less willing to believe that the general under King Nanjiang was him.

After knowing that Zhao Xian was appointed as the transfer envoy, Shen Yuan went to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites in person.

It's just that Zhao Xian hadn't come back yet, Shen Yuan stood at the door of the mansion and waited, and didn't intend to go in, the servants of the Zhao mansion looked embarrassed.

The face of their young master is really big enough to make Master Guoshi wait.

Zhao Xian came back from the outside in a hurry, the smell of alcohol on his body was still there, "Sister Yuan'er... Bah, why didn't Shi Zifei go in and wait, it's windy outside, is your injury healed?"

Zhao Xian brought Shen Yuan in, while waving the peacock feather fan in his hand, trying to dissipate the strong alcohol smell from his body as soon as possible, for fear of fuming Shen Yuan.

But this winter has just passed, and Zhao Xian made himself shiver with such a fan.

"Brother Zhao Xian can just call me like he used to. You and Shizi are brothers and sisters, so you should call me sister." Shen Yuan and Zhao Xian smiled politely.

Zhao Xian sat down boldly and said with a smile: "Sister Yuan'er has also learned how to get close to me now."

Shen Yuan remained silent, she really came here this time to ask Zhao Xian for a favor.

"Don't be so deliberate. Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, but we have known each other for so many years, I still watched you get married. On the day you married your son, I gave half of my small treasury to you as gifts. What do you have? Let's just talk about it, as long as I can do it, I will help." Zhao Xian could vaguely guess the purpose of Shen Yuan's coming to find her, it must involve Wei Yan, and now the matter about Wei Yan is indeed difficult, who can say Who is unlucky to be contaminated.

Zhao Xian has been hiding his clumsiness all the time, even in the scientific examinations back then, he was on the sidelines, and finally got a job as a sesame official who didn't do much, just to save himself some trouble.

But he never regarded Wei Yan's matter as a trouble, and this transfer envoy was also the first time he actively fought for it.

Shen Yuan toasted Zhao Xian with tea instead of wine, and said: "I do have something to trouble brother Zhao Xian once."

"I want to go to Yuxia Pass with the food delivery team." Shen Yuan said with a firm expression, "I want to go to southern Xinjiang to pick up Wei Yan."

The peacock feather fan that Zhao Xian had been fanning stopped, and the expression on his face became serious, "Sister, it's fine to go to Yuxia Pass, as long as I'm alive, I'll protect you safe and sound. But entering the southern border is not easy things..."

"I know, that's why I went to brother Zhao Xian." Shen Yuan's eyes were full of understanding, she was not so timid, "I want to use food and grass as a guide to attract people from southern Xinjiang to come pick me up in person. Brother Zhao Xian nodded and cooperated with me, I will guarantee with the head of the item that I will never lose a catty or two of grain and grass, let alone delay the delivery time."
