Chapter 373: The Queen's Plan to Instigate Rebellion
Shi Chen's actions caused an uproar among the onlookers. Although they had already heard that Princess Jinglian recently accepted a face for the first time, this was the first time most people saw Shi Chen.
In the empire, it has become a common practice for wealthy merchants and nobles to keep thin horses and handsome horses in captivity. However, both of these are dog meat and cannot be put on the table. In private, whether they are cruel and unscrupulous torture, or they are doted on by thousands of people, they can do whatever they want behind closed doors in their own homes.
, no one will talk too much.
But he dared to bring his face out openly, and beat someone in the imperial capital in broad daylight. The one he beat was the prince's bastard. This really broke the eyes of many people.
I thought that the princess would step in to stop him and punish him, but what I saw was the 'loving' smile of Her Royal Highness.
The princess's disguised statement was enough to explain a lot of problems, at least it was enough to change Zhu Fugui's judgment of the current situation. At least the princess's statement could become his reason for dealing with His Royal Highness. Ying, who was sweating profusely, said: "Thank you, Your Highness."
I value it so much that the common people are willing to offer this lean horse."
"No, just follow the rules." Suye Yayan waved her hand indifferently and said to the guard commander beside her: "Give him ten times the market price."
"Here!"
Hearing this, Zhu Fugui's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he secretly complained in his heart. This was clearly because he didn't accept his favor! Is it so easy for Her Royal Highness to get money? It's simply a hot potato, and once you get this money, you will be
How was he going to explain it to the prince at that time?
Su Ye Yayan was too lazy to pay attention to the thoughts of a small businessman and walked directly towards Shi Chenxing.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Fugui did not dare to pursue the matter any further. He accepted the money from the guards, kowtowed three times to the princess's back, and left in a car with a bunch of losers.
The most important thing to do at this moment is to apologize to the prince as soon as possible and tell the prince the truth about the situation. As for how the prince will deal with it, that is not the responsibility of a small businessman like him.
At this moment, Shi Chen was holding the frightened little thin horse, trying his best to soothe the other's young mind with a gentle voice.
It has to be said that Shi Chen's experience in taking care of Xiao Qianlin and his harmless face played a key role at this moment. Under his comfort, the girl's pale face due to excessive fright returned to a little rosy. He knew about Shi Chen's problem.
He talked endlessly, as if he had found the best person to talk to.
"What's your name?" Shi Chen asked.
"...Qin Xiangwu." The girl's big eyes flashed, and she seemed a little shy when a strange man asked her her name. She lowered her head like a mosquito and replied: "My father and mother call me Xiao Wu."
When Shi Chen first came to the empire, he didn’t know that in the empire’s common understanding, most women were subordinate properties of men. Even many low-income families did not have the right to name at all. When asked about their names, there were only two cases.
Breeding, registration and registration of thin horses when selling them, or used by matchmakers.
Although Qin Xiangwu was young, she knew this. Although she was panicked, after being rescued by Shi Chen, she kept listening to the conversation between the beautiful sister and the pig-headed businessman with sharp ears.
He will eventually be sold. But the fate of a thin horse often varies greatly depending on the owner.
A child's intuition is often the most sensitive and most accurate. She could feel the warm care from this uncle, and there was no lust in his eyes like that of other adults, like a wild beast that wanted to eat people.
This uncle is a good person. Maybe being sold to him as a thin horse is also a kind of good fortune. Xiao Wu thought in her heart.
"What a good name." Shi Chen also secretly praised it, but at the same time he was a little confused. This name is very grand and full of graceful beauty. It looks like the name of a rich girl from a wealthy family. How could he be sold to a thin horse businessman?
.
The people of the empire have always had a monopoly on education. Ordinary small families are not at the level to come up with such a name. Even if they imitate others, it will only make people laugh.
Although the girl in my arms is wearing a shabby little floral jacket that is extremely tacky, she has a fair complexion and bright eyes and white teeth. Even among ordinary beings, she will make people's eyes shine. They will notice her immediately.
exist.
But I have helped him solve the crisis. I hope she can grow up happily.
Thinking like this, Shi Chen knelt down, put Xiao Wu in his arms on the ground, smiled and patted her head, "That bad guy has been driven away by uncle, go find mom quickly."
After hearing these words, Xiao Wuyuan's ruddy face turned pale in an instant, as if being pushed out of a warm embrace, her young body trembled slightly in the cold wind, and the pair of excessively large eyes became larger due to the thin face.
His eyes were instantly filled with tears.
But she didn't make any extra effort. She bit her bloodless lips, thanked Shi Chen solemnly, turned around sadly, and walked quickly towards the noodle shop.
She first threw herself into the arms of the haggard-looking young woman and cried for a long time, then hurriedly ran to the big yellow dog that was still on the stone steps and couldn't get up because of its broken legs. She hugged the dying big yellow dog and cried silently.
.
Shi Chen sighed in his heart, but he didn't want to interfere too much with other people's lives. Just when he was about to get on his horse and leave, Su Ye Yayan's sarcastic voice came to his ears, "You are so naive. You are so naive."
Does this help them?"
"What should I say?" Shi Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had a bad premonition.
"What you did in the Federation will not work in the Empire." Suye Yayan seemed to feel that some parts of the Empire were too cruel, and her tone became more sarcastic, "In the Empire, women can only be subordinate to men.
Or the master can find a place to live in peace. The man of this mother and daughter has died on the battlefield, and in front of them
The noodle shop owner who lives in the hotel is obviously a scumbag who likes to gamble and is lazy. Since he can sell it for the first time, he will sell it for the second time due to other circumstances. Moreover, the person behind the thin horse businessman this time is not simple.
, if we let them stay here like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape their destined fate even tomorrow."
Shi Chen fell silent immediately. Although he had long recognized that the environment in the empire was cruel enough for the bottom class of society, he did not expect it to be so dark.
At this moment, Xiao Wu's cry suddenly came from behind, causing Shi Chen to turn her head immediately, and then she saw a scene of rage.
The middle-aged man saw Shi Chen and the two sending the thin horse businessman away and ignored it. He thought it was just a game played by nobles. After being frightened, he felt that he was lucky. He patted the dust on his body and smiled.
He picked up the money on the ground and counted it, as if the injuries on his body were mostly healed due to his luck. He turned around and planned to kill the dying big yellow dog to replenish himself.
The big yellow dog had just sacrificed its life to save its owner. Xiao Wu couldn't help but watch it being slaughtered. They immediately started arguing. The young woman also tried to persuade him, but was slapped and knocked to the ground. She could only hang in silence.
tear.
Seeing the middle-aged man holding Xiao Wu, who couldn't hold back the cry with one hand and looking desperate, holding the dying big yellow dog in the other hand, he cursed and dragged the crying woman on the ground into the messy noodle shop. After walking in, he pulled her down.
The iron rolling door of the shop blocks all kinds of eyes from behind.
Shi Chen finally spoke: "Then can you think of a more comprehensive solution?"
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Su Yeyayan's lips showed a smile of success, "There is still a shortage of a smarter maid in Jinglian Palace. I think she is good."
She is not afraid of Shi Chen making excessive demands, but she is afraid that Shi Chen has no desires or demands. She is not the kind of idiot with big breasts and no brains. Naturally, she will not recognize that Shi Chen has traveled thousands of miles to the empire just to see her. Shi Chen must have something.
The unknown purpose, even this purpose completely conflicted with her position, so she never dared to ask, because once something pierced the window paper, it would be difficult to make up for it, and Shi Chen would very likely
Leave her behind and never come back.
But as long as Shi Chen cares about something, then he can weave these into a piece of cotton and become a fetter to entangle him. Tie him tightly to his side. When he plans to leave in the future, these will become his footsteps.
of constraints.
She firmly believes that time can smooth everything, even his nationality. She once learned from a chat with Suyecangna that Shi Chen was a lonely orphan. His life was not easy when he was young, and he was once a
Federal wanted fugitive.
Although he later joined the army and made great achievements on Sutake Star, and was hailed as a fighting hero by the federal officials for publicity purposes, he did not receive many substantial benefits due to his status. He was even involved in the scandal due to his personal relationship with the second princess of the federation, Isa.
Being squeezed out by the upper class.
This was the best news for her at this moment. She was an orphan. She was lonely at a young age, and she was ostracized even after she became famous. So she would not have too deep a concept of family and country.
Since ancient times, Wenwen Township in the capital has been a tomb of heroes. Suye Yayan thinks that she is gentle enough and has all the money a woman should have. She has a status revered by a prince and daughter, and has the wealth of Jinglian Mansion. She is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.
She has a peerless appearance and a proud figure that attracts thousands of men, but just these, she does not have the confidence to rely on her body to tie Shi Chen's heart in a short period of time.
Because she knew that although Shi Chen had done a lot of things to make a beauty look angry, he was not a man who gave up all principles because of his beauty. He valued more feelings and responsibilities, and these two things were what drove others to do things.
important factors.
Then she will start from these two points.
She could already tell that for some unknown reason, Shi Chen had a special regard for the skinny horse named Qin Xiangwu, but it was enough for her to be able to detect this, so she bought the skinny horse and gave it to him.
, she was raised in her own mansion anyway, with no power, young body, delicate heart and simple heart, which did not pose any threat to her status. At the same time, she could cultivate a relationship and responsibility that tied Shi Chen, so why not.
And what she has to do now is to give Shi Chen a warm home and turn the empire into his country!
Regarding all this, Shi Chen was still at a loss because of his boiling anger. He was silent for a moment and said, "I owe you a favor."
Hearing this, Su Ye Yayan pulled back the hair hanging down by her ears. The smile on her pretty face became brighter and more charming. As her eyes moved, she asked curiously: "Oh? What are you going to do?"
"Since being a good person in the empire can only lead to bad things, I wouldn't mind returning as a guest villain who does all kinds of evil!"
He said these words in a cold voice, which shocked the princess, then whipped up his horse, and in the shocked and incomprehensible eyes of the people around him who had not dispersed, he ran headlong into the half-opened iron rolling door of Qinji Noodle House.
