Is the Scum Worthy of Whitewashing?

The Proton Mansion is located in the Royal City, not too far away from the gate of the Liang Kingdom Palace.

There are endless disputes, wars or peaces among nations, and powers come and go. Sometimes for strategic interests, nations often align themselves with each other, sign covenants, and even send the sons of monarchs to other countries as hostages to show their sincerity. .

Being alone in a foreign country, even being rejected and indifferent by the local nobles, these are often problems that Proton faces. If it catches up with the rivalry between the two countries, it may be life-threatening. Therefore, the misery of proton usually falls on the son who is not favored by the monarch.

Zhao Rui is like that.

However, he obviously had some means. When he was young, he was mixed among the nobles of the Liang country. The king of Liang relied on him, the princess fell in love with him, and he also had friendship with the court officials.

Word of mouth is also very good. Every time people mention Zhao Rui, they will inevitably praise a gentleman like jade, warm and moist.

I think he was even better than he was in Yu Country.

The Proton Mansion is not big, but it has a sense of tranquility. The winding path is quiet, the bamboo loop is around the corridor, and the rockery pavilions are uniquely dotted among the courtyards, which are very elegant.

At this time in the afternoon, warm sunlight poured into a small pavilion, surrounded by flowers, trees, bamboo and grass, accompanied by a low or two faint cicadas.

Zhao Rui wears a green robe and sits opposite Shen Cun, the son of Jun Wu Ping. Among them is a black and white chessboard on the stone table.

Shen Cunzhi dropped a sunspot, and Zhao Rui stared at him and praised: "It's worthy of being Anzhi. This move is on Liusan Road, but life and life blocked me from the connection between things. One son broke in, but still echoed with the surroundings. It is Shen Jiaerlang, who has both courage and courage."

Shen Cunzi Anzhi, and Zhao Rui called him literally, which shows that the two have a good relationship.

"But I think you have another plan." Shen Cun looked at the chessboard and thought slightly, "It seems that you want to get through from the east to the west, but it is too obvious. Zixiang, you have always been good at Yi, how can you not notice? In my opinion, even chess is false, and it is the original intention to chaos the west to take the east."

"Is this also discovered by you?" Zhao Rui sighed and sighed, and placed it on the Nine Fourth Road. "Although all your plans have been seen through, the outcome is uncertain.

Shen Cun was also rubbing the chess piece in thought, and was about to drop the next one, but he heard a mess of footsteps outside the pavilion, rushing towards this place.

A group of pink shadows rushed over, Xu Yan stumbled, pushed away the waiter who was trying to stop him, and went straight to Zhao Rui's arms, snuggling in front of his chest.

Xu Yan’s eyes were red, and there were still tears on her face. She hid in her sweetheart’s arms at this time, and felt a lot of ironing, but her grievances became more intense, she just stared at Zhao Rui blankly. Without speaking, tears fell again.

Zhao Rui was amazed, and Xu Yan made such an affectionate move in full view of the public, which made him unavoidably embarrassed.

The attendants in the Proton Mansion were all overwhelmed, and at this time they had already retreated sensibly, but Shen Cun was still there, looking at them and frowned slightly. Zhao Rui didn't want to make a polite statement, so he held Xu Yan's shoulder and gently pushed her away for a few counts, and asked gently, "Princess, what's the matter?"

"Swiss, why don't you call me Yan'er?" Xu Yan flattened her mouth, Zhao Rui treated her differently, as intimacy in the usual way, but today she is so unfamiliar, she couldn't help but cry from it. I got up, "Even you bullied me like this, what does it mean for me to be alive?!"

Zhao Rui couldn't help frowning. If the two are alone, it doesn't matter that they are close, but there is still Shen in the table today, so unmarried, so frivolous, how do you think in his eyes? If it were spread out, wouldn't the reputation he had built up over the years be ruined?

Seeing Xu Yan still playing her temper, Zhao Rui became more and more impatient. If it weren't because of her noble status and some great use, she would really like someone to throw her out at this time.

"Princess." Shen Cun stood up, slightly polite. Then he glanced at Zhao Rui and pointed to the endgame on the chessboard, with a slight regret: "It's a pity that the outcome of this game is undivided, and I don't know what the outcome will be... But today I think it will be missed. I will stay for a few days. , I will host a banquet at the mansion, invite Zixiang, you will come over, and then there will be everything, how about it?"

See no evil, don't listen to evil, the Shen family is a family of hairpins that stretches for a hundred years. The children of the clan have strict rules. Although the Liang folk style is open, it is impossible to sit here and watch the flirtatious scenes of men and women.

Shen Cun closed his sleeves, deep robes and belts, and his hair bun was fixed with an ebony hairpin. He looked like a scholar of the age of a weak crown, but his overall aura was not so graceful and weak—the sword eyebrow entered the temple. When he looked at the person, his eyes were a little cold, and they were still soaked with the kind of tenacity and courage that would have been impossible if they hadn't gone through the golden iron horse and the blood of the swordsman.

So although he looks handsome, he also earned the name of "Raksha".

Even Xu Yan is usually a little afraid of him. It’s just that today she has been holding back her resentment, and seeing Shen Cun’s indifferent expression again, she didn’t think of her in the eyes at all, thinking about the causes and consequences of the recent bad luck, so she became courageous in anger and sat on the ground. He slanted a finger and shouted: "Shen Cun, stop for me! My house is so downcast today, isn't it all a good thing you did?! Don't think that you have a good relationship with the Swiss franc, and I can easily spare you— —"

This is just a word of intimidation. If you really want to talk about it, Xu Yan can't take Shen Cun, she just exasperated.

However, what she said caused Shen Cun's curiosity. Even Zhao Rui couldn't understand what kind of discord could arise between Shen Cun and Xu Yan.

"What's the answer to this?" Shen Cun turned around, "I don't know, but I hope His Highness will make it clear."

Xu Yan let out a "hum", her face sinking: "Isn't it the trouble you caused by indulging in beauty? You fell in love with Xu Jiang, and you sent a secret letter to your father to ask for marriage, and you got the father to pay attention to her! Once a person became influential, I lost my mind. I just punished her a little bit. With the majesty of the palace, who knows that the father and the king chose to protect her, I also punished my mother and me, even my title, and punished me for kneeling in the temple. one day one Night……"

She felt ashamed and sad when she thought of the past two days, and sobbed.

Zhao Rui was still looking as usual, but she could hear her slowly speaking, and gradually concentrating on her face, but when Xu Yan mentioned Xu Jiang, she was shocked again. Although her complexion was not visible, the fingers in the sleeves of her robe were soft. There was a trembling.

"What the princess is talking about...Princess Xu Jiang?" Zhao Rui asked slowly, then looked at Shen Cun, "Anzhi asked to marry Princess Xu Jiang, is the king right?"

Xu Yan wiped her tears and nodded.

"Impossible." Shen Cun frowned, "I have never seen her, so how can I ask the king to marry him? I don't know where the rumors came from, it is very boring."

"One person does things, the other one. If you ask, you ask. You lie in front of you and sneak behind your back. How can you look like a big man?" Xu Yan sneered, "My mother and queen have said this. This matter is your Shen family..."

"Alright—" Zhao Rui spoke suddenly and gently wrapped Xu Yan's shoulders, whispering softly in her ear, "Ayan, you go to the backyard to rest for a while, I have something to discuss with Anzhi. Can you wait for me for a while..."

He added two more gentle words, which caused Xu Yan's face to flush slightly. Although she was a little reluctant, she finally followed his wishes and was led by the waiter to leave.

Only two of them remained in the pavilion.

"An Zhi," Zhao Rui looked at Shen Cun thoughtfully, and said warmly, "What do you think about this matter?"

"Strange." Shen Cun said in a deep voice, "Since the princess is so sure, she may not come from nowhere. We need to go back to discuss the matter with my father and send someone to investigate the truth."

Zhao Rui sneered from the bottom of his heart, fearing that the Shen family had planned this long ago, but it seemed that Shen Cun didn't know it, and didn't know whether it was true or false.

"Anzhi, if this fact is planned by your family, what should you do?" Zhao Rui sighed softly, "I always knew you, golden branches and jade leaves, I'm afraid it's not the woman you want."

"Yes." Shen Cun nodded. "The man will protect his family and defend the country. He will build a battlefield to build a feat in order to keep his name in the history. My Shen family has worked hard for the country through generations, and the ancestors have been named Wupingjun. This glory is the result of a real fight on the battlefield, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. In my generation, I can't lose my name and power."

"Shangzhu, to others or glory, to my Shen family, but it may not be honorable, but it will become a burden."

Zhao Rui smiled silently, and said, "It is worthy of being Anzhi. Such heroic spirit makes Rui admire."

Shen Cun smiled slightly: "I'm trying my best now, and I'm far from the ancestors."

He looked at Zhao Rui, hesitated slightly, and said with a serious face: "Zixiang, I have a word to persuade...With your talents, you can become a think tank in the account, why not come to our army? Why bother to be tied to the Chu family? The Chu Party is greedy and knows no reason to stop damage. Sooner or later, the princess will die. The princess is even more arrogant and rude.

Shen Cun wanted to say it again. This was originally Zhao Rui's private matter, and he shouldn't be bothered by it. It's just that Xu Yan's face is disgusting when he sees today, and it is inevitable that he feels a little regretful when he thinks that his friends will spend this life with these women in the future.

However, he didn't know that Zhao Rui actually did not intend to marry Xu Yan. In his previous life, Zhao Rui used the Chu Party to usurp power. After the incident was completed, he would kill the donkey. After the fall of the Chu Party, Xu Yan was even more useless. Too many secrets, was secretly executed by Zhao Rui.

"Although Ayan is a little bit reckless, her nature is not bad. Sometimes her arrogant and arrogant appearance can be considered gratifying." Zhao Rui smiled, "The important thing is that she loves me the most. , This life is not in vain."

This was just superficial rhetoric, Shen Cunzi could also hear it, and he had no choice but to sigh: "A foreign country, I know how difficult you are, it is me who talked more...not to mention, if you have any difficulties, Even if you come to Shen Mansion to find me, if you can, you can help me, and it won't be a waste of your friendship."

The weather outside is also changing fast. The sun was good before, but it was overcast and some drizzle of rain fell.

Shen Cun didn't want to delay any more, bowed his hands and said goodbye, and left in a hurry.

Zhao Rui looked at his gradually disappearing back and looked at the gloomy sky again, the previous gentle smile had long since disappeared without a trace.

He looked at the remnant chess on the eye stone table, sneered, and then went to the backyard slowly.

"My son, the princess is asleep, do you want to wake her up?" The waiter whispered to Zhao Rui.

"No, be optimistic about her, if she wakes up, don't let her move around." Zhao Rui ordered, then turned and went into the study.

He took out a small piece of plain silk, took a pen to write the secret words, put it in the half-open bamboo knot, put a wax seal, sent someone to the palace, and gave it to Chu Empress.

"Preemptive strike."

He only wrote this sentence, and there is no need to say more, Chu Empress can understand it.

If it were to fight against the Shen family, the only advantage of the Chu party was that it was more prepared. It was the only solution to kill it in the cradle while its plan had not yet taken shape.

After doing all this, Zhao Rui quit everyone, and he was the only one left in the dimly lit room.

He rubbed his eyebrows, pondered for a while, took out a scroll from the bookshelf cassette and gently unfolded it.

Meticulously drawn with new colors and ink, the woman in the painting is dressed in a lotus-colored palace dress, with her head slightly hanging down, her demeanor is dignified and graceful.

Lips are like Zhu Dan, eyebrows are like mountains, only a pair of eyes is vacant, it seems that the painter does not know how to write.

Zhao Rui stroked the picture scroll, slightly lost, and there seemed to be a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Her eyes are very distinctive. They are born with different pupils, one azure blue and one amber. However, other than that, he has no other impression. Only after he dug out her pupils for medicine, he slowly began to notice her. The presence.

From now on, Zhao Rui could remember all the things she saw, but she did not know what it looked like when the brilliance of the pair of different pupils was extinguished.
