Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 277: Being courteous for nothing

At this time, the two of them had an aura that said "Keep Away". Ran Qianxi smiled calmly as if in provocation, but the slave girl was obviously not as comfortable as her, with fear and tenacity mixed in her eyes.

The other party's identity has been discovered, and all that's left is for Baili Yong to give the order to kill the spy.

Ran Qianxi: "Order someone to arrest her now, hurry up."

Unexpectedly, he raised his eyebrows: "Why should I listen to you?"

Ran Qianxi: "Then Baili Shang, you take her down."

Baili Shang tilted her head and got tacit approval from Baili Yong's eyes. Without saying a word, he grabbed her wrist and pried it open to reveal a medicine bowl. Ran Qianxi quickly snatched it away: "Are Han Wu and Si Kongqian still in the capital?" Baili Shang nodded secretly: "Yes."

Ran Qianxi: "Okay, okay, send someone to find them, the sooner the better."

Baili Shang: "I'll go now."

The wait for Baili Shang to come back was a little long. Ran Qianxi poured Shu Xuanhe a glass of wine with a smile. If someone is too nice to you for no reason, she must be a traitor or a thief. One could tell at a glance that she wanted to ask for something.

Ran Qianxi: "I heard that Chen Shijian from the Merchants Department was once a guest of Prince Shen's palace. I'd like to ask Prince Shen to introduce me to him."

As soon as Shu Xuanhe closed his eyes, he knew what she was planning.

"Miss, you can go directly if you have something to do. After all, the Merchants Bureau is not a confidential place."

After being politely rejected, she also knew that this matter could not be resolved without a hundred sweet words. About a quarter of an hour later, Baili Shang went to find Han Wu and Si Kongqian.

Ran Qianxi: "Come here quickly."

The two of them approached her simultaneously and received two longing glances from her.

Si Kongqian: "What do you want to talk to us about?"

Ran Qianxi: "I caught a spy. Ah Wu, check where her poison is from. Ah Qian, put some poison on her to make her confess."

Baili Yong was unhappy on the side: "I am still commanding the prince."

Ran Qianxi didn't look back nor paid any attention, and Baili Yong, who was giving orders complacently, had no intention of stopping him. In his eyes, such harmonious scenes would become less and less common, so he would cherish them even when they were quarreling.

Under the influence of the obedient Gu, the spy betrayed Dong Yu, but the poison was produced in Bei Cuan. The two countries must have an inseparable cooperative relationship. Pu Wan was defeated, Luo Yu was taken in, and Tan Qianhuan was demoted. On the surface, everything was calm and there were no internal and external troubles, but in fact, the neighboring countries were ready to move.

After several major battles, other countries guessed that Changguo’s military strength was not strong enough. Without Tan Qianhuan, those defeated generals in the past also wanted to give it a try. He was not only a god of war but also a true national general.

After Shang Chengye's funeral

All the colleagues and guests in the Three Sages Hall are seeing Shu Xuanhe off. The declaration of war has been issued in Xixing, Ran Qiongxi and Wei Jiguo are still on the way. Hao Biao originally wanted to go to war but was restrained by Baili Yong's suspicion. He is watching the situation in the court. Xu Yuanchao has a leg disease and is absolutely not suitable for fighting. Tan Qianhuan has retired, and Baili Shang has to stay in the imperial city to prepare for the threat from Yu Cuan. There is no other suitable candidate except Shu Xuanhe.

Ran Qianxi came with the heavy sword and Shang Zijun. In order to achieve the goal, some gifts must be given...

"Prince Shen~"

At the banquet, Shu Xuanhe suddenly looked back. His originally dark green brocade robe had remained the same color, including the carved patterns and flying cranes. Today, he was wearing a rice green shirt with lotus flowers embroidered on the sleeves and hem of the robe. His charming temperament added a touch of freshness and refinement.

Ran Qianxi: "I've come to give you a gift. I wish you will be invincible on the battlefield."

When she walked over, the gift had already been opened. The servant was holding it with such force that he was obviously shaking a little, but for someone who practiced martial arts, it was just a drizzle.

Everyone at the table was instantly attracted to the heavy sword. Shu Xuanhe was stunned for a few seconds before feeling delighted. For a general, the sword was the thing most intimate to him when he went into battle. There was even a saying passed down: "As long as the sword is alive, the man will die; if the sword is broken, the man will die."

Shu Xuanhe: "Give it to me?"

Ran Qianxi looked at him with a playful smile: "Yes, yes, do you like it?"

At this moment, thousands of words are summed up in one word: "like".

"like."

Looking at his charming smile, Ran Qianxi couldn't help but smile along with him.

Ran Qianxi: "Zijun, come and meet Prince Shen."

Hearing these two words, Shu Xuanhe's face suddenly became long, as if all the good things had been shattered.

Shang Zijun: "I greet King Shen."

He closed the wooden box with such force that the servant almost fell to his knees.

Shu Xuanhe: "Is it because of him that you gave me the sword? I would say that you are either a traitor or a thief if you are being so attentive to me for no reason!"

Shang Zijun's heart trembled and he no longer held out hope for the position of president.

Ran Qianxi signaled the servant to put down the gift and leave. Seeing that the prince was angry, many people automatically dispersed, and only he and Ran Qianxi were left at the main seat.

"Zijun, find a place to sit first."

Shang Zijun was worried about her staying alone so he didn't want to leave: "Let me tell you."

"No, no, no, I promised you, go ahead."

He was still reluctant to leave, but was led into the table by Ran Qianxi.

The entire Sanxian Pavilion was silent. Even the slightest movement of the two people in the main seat would become the focus, so Ran Qianxi lowered her voice a lot: "You know he is more capable than anyone else. It's only after you terminated the cooperation that they changed their minds. Without your oar, everyone would want to push the merchant to capsize."

Shu Xuanhe: "I have already given you the deed."

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with reason, she started to act coquettishly, pulling the other's arm and casually tidying his hair. The sudden tenderness smoothed away his pride.

Ran Qianxi: "Just introduce him to Chen Shijian, I believe he will be successful immediately."

At this time, he had already begun to feel lonely: "You really like him very much."

Ran Qianxi: "It has nothing to do with whether I like it or not. I've boasted so much. Your Majesty, please help me~"

Seeing her so delicate, Shu Xuanhe couldn't bear to refuse. He glanced at the sword and was very concerned about where it came from, but his voice was much calmer: "Did you give the sword to him or did he give it to you?"

Ran Qianxi said firmly: "It must be me~"

"You carefully selected it for me?"

"Yes, it's very elaborate."

The other party's sudden silence made her heart beat fast.

Ran Qianxi: "As long as you recommend Chen Shijian, he will definitely make the decision. After all, he is where he is today thanks to you~"

A pair of burning eyes turned to her. Thinking about it carefully, she still felt angry that the person she loved actually begged her like this for another man.

Shu Xuanhe: "Why do you care so much about him?"

Ran Qianxi: "His brother is my good brother, my good prince, I beg you, please introduce him to me."

Shu Xuanhe: "I can recommend you, but I can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Wash the cloak that you didn't wash for me."

Ran Qianxi: "Are you a germaphobe?"

He did not respond. Although he was a germaphobe, he insisted on letting her wash the clothes because his lover washed his clothes, which was the happiest thing in the world for him. It was even happier for him to eat the soup made by his lover for him.

"Don't you want to wash?"

At this moment, she agreed without any hesitation: "I do, I do." After she finished speaking, she left the two of them and ran into Prince Shen's mansion to wash clothes.

Chen Mao understood what he meant with a glance at the table, and respectfully stepped forward to hear only a short sentence: "This king wants the Chamber of Commerce to be named Shang."

Chen Mao: "I understand. I will do it immediately."
