For more than ten years, Silent Cloud has almost never suffered a loss in court.

On the one hand, it was because of Emperor Kaiping's respect and trust in him. When the emperor with the final power of decision stood on his side, unless there was a mountain of irrefutable evidence, who could tear apart the ironclad thread woven by the tens of thousands of spies in Taishitai Pavilion? Mu? On the other hand, Silent Cloud is naturally low-key and calm, and uses the power in his hands extremely cautiously. He has been unable to find fault in the several terms in charge of the East Palace.

Therefore, after Emperor Kaiping said those words of comfort, many courtiers could not hide their astonishment.

Although His Majesty the Emperor did not pay attention to Silent Cloud's move to point the finger at the eldest prince, others saw that his handling method was very different from before.

Even if Pei Yue has the upper hand in words, there are still areas that can be explored in this unsolved case. His Majesty hastily concluded the case in such a hurry, obviously because he does not want to continue the debate and get out of hand, thereby affecting the reputation of the eldest prince Liu Xian.

The second prince Liu Yun, the leader of the Wu Xun class, stood in the middle with his eyebrows lowered. No one knew that his hands in his sleeves were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Father, I am also your son, why do I have to be so partial?"

He roared silently in his heart, and there was a cold and stern look deep in his eyes.

Just now when Ouyang Jing impeached Zhulou, Emperor Kaiping did not show any sympathy for his son. He not only ordered people to summon Zhong Chengxiang and Jin San during the court meeting, but also gave Ouyang Jing ample room to perform. Now Silent Cloud is involved in that case It's an old story. After Pei Yue forced the other party with words, Emperor Kaiping immediately ended the matter, which shows that he valued and loved Liu Xian.

"I know what father is referring to, but that guy is not related to me, so how can I be sure that he will take care of me?" Shen Danmo's tone was erratic, and he looked up into the distance, only to see the long and bright river under the blue sky. The sunlight shines on the gently undulating river surface, mottled like broken gold.

Shen Danmo did not show any panic or fear, and shook his head slightly: "I am not that smart. If I had thought of this when I was in the capital, how could I have followed my uncle here? Mr. Gu, my father has other things. An explanation?”

If we trace the source, Pei Zhen was in a dilemma after the late emperor was poisoned, and then Mr. Xi and Shen Moyun made completely different choices. Mr. Xi retired to the world and did not care about worldly affairs, and even Mo Haoli could not invite him to serve as an official in the court. , Silent Cloud agreed to Wang Pingzhang's request, not only sent Lin Donghai to the Chen family mansion, but also took over the post of Zuo Lingchen in Taishitai Pavilion from Emperor Kaiping.

At this moment, there was no one else in Liu Yun's mind. Silent Cloud, Wang Pingzhang, Luo Ting, Ning Huaian and even Pei Yue seemed to have suddenly forgotten everything. Only Liu Xian beside him and Emperor Kaiping above him, This father and son teamed up to stab him deeply in the heart, which was even more severe than the plan Shen Moyun had just used to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.

The fishing wind floats in the sky above the river, and the shadows of people in turbans are still and graceful.

Mr. Gu wondered: "What does the lady mean?"

Shen Danmo's beautiful eyebrows gradually raised, and she said every word: "Because I hope my father will survive."

Shen Danmo smiled slightly and turned his eyes to the east, as if following the meandering Ying River. From this tributary, he could see the Tiancang River that traverses the east and west of the mainland. Then Rouwan was not seen and he could only say firmly: "I will not go to Kyoto."

well……

Mr. Gu had a loyal appearance and a gentle expression, and said softly: "The master said that he hopes the young lady can understand his difficulties. This will definitely turn the world upside down, and no one in the city will be spared. The master also said that he has left good things for the young lady and his family members in the past two years. Once we have a clear path, we will have no worries in the future.”

Anyway, since your father is so heartless, don't blame me for not caring about family affection.

Angry at Silent Cloud, who, despite being in a treacherous hell, has never been corrupted by the ugliness of human nature, but has always maintained a kind and merciful heart.

"Half a year...heh."

Shen Danmo's noble red phoenix eyes had a look of wonder in them, and she said quietly: "I think in half a year, it will be the day when I go to Kyoto to honor my father, right?"

Could it be that thirteen years later, Silent Cloud discovered the original doubts?

Apart from this, Pei Yue didn't think anyone could incite this veritable leader of thousands of spies.

Pei Yue smiled and looked calm from beginning to end, but he was not complacent about it, and there was a strong anger and sadness in his heart.

When Silent Cloud took the initiative to choose to separate, Pei Yue was thinking about the reason why the other party did this, and finally his eyes fell on a past event that had been covered in dust for many years.

This was an extremely tacit cooperation without even eye contact.

What's more, as the leader of Taishitai Pavilion, Silent Cloud has countless capable people and strangers under his command, so he must have reached a conclusion long ago.

Kaiping Emperor Longyan was furious, and immediately went directly to the Kyoto Prefecture and the Ministry of Punishment, and ordered the imperial army to arrest the son of a distinguished nobleman with a good background. After his identity was verified, he beheaded him in public. He also asked Taishitai Pavilion and Luan Yiwei to work together to deal with the matter. Conduct extremely detailed investigations and not miss any clues.

Silent Cloud's sudden attack had nothing to do with him, and was not a private collusion between the two. In fact, since he returned to Beijing this time, the brief close cooperative relationship had broken down, and the past friendship disappeared with Shen Danmo's departure in the back alley of Qinyuan. .

Yuzhou, Guiyang Prefecture, on the bank of Ying River.

…

Comparing the two is useless.

Shen Danmo, dressed as a scholar, stood on the shore, staring at the reflection in the water, and asked calmly: "Don't return to the capital for a while? Is this an order given to you by father?"

Pei Yue sighed silently, feeling extremely worried and unable to control himself.

For Pei Yue, taking advantage of Shen Moyun did not seem to be a happy event worth celebrating. After giving the four-character comment, he turned around and returned, neither looking at the second prince who failed to fulfill his wish, nor looking again. It was like a suddenly rickety cloud of silence.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a long silence, Mr. Gu solemnly said: "Miss, you can't go back to Kyoto, otherwise it will ruin the master's arrangements."

As the years passed, nearly twenty years passed, and Silent Cloud's identity changed completely, from the right-hand man of Pei Zhen, Duke of Dingguo, to the confidant of Emperor Kaiping. People at that time were afraid of his power and skill, but also respected his character and loyalty. When he was awake, he and the emperor were regarded as one.

Those who experienced it at that time may have disdain for Silent Cloud's character, or they may understand his difficulties in taking the overall situation into consideration. In fact, no matter what his attitude is, at least no one in the court doubts his ability.

The expressions of several people behind him changed. The elder smiled bitterly and said, "The master also said that this matter probably cannot be hidden from the lady."

Silent Cloud doesn't want to be a loyal and lonely minister anymore.

When he told about the assassination case in the Western Region, Pei Yue did not panic at all and understood the other party's intention almost instantly.

With a temperament like Silent Cloud's, once he makes a decision, he will definitely be unswerving, so he stood extremely firmly on the opposite side of Pei Yue during the night attack on the small courtyard in the northern suburbs, and today he made it clear that his attitude is completely hostile.

…

Unfortunately, judging from the complete evidence, this case was indeed an accident.

I also feel endless sadness for this middle-aged man who is determined to betray his Lord and die.

It's just that the waves in his heart have already been turbulent, just like the tsunami he saw in his previous life came and rolled over the embankment.

Shen Danmo's words were unclear. Thinking about it, she didn't know why her father suddenly chose to break up with Pei Yue, especially when she returned to her hometown in Yuzhou with Shen Daoyun's family to worship her ancestors. On the surface, this was an impeccable reason to leave Beijing, but From Pei Yue's perspective, the truth of the matter was already very clear.

Until the final victory is determined.

Of course, there are more than just these few guards in the Shen family. Silent Cloud had handed over most of them to Shen Danmo a long time ago, so Mr. Gu sighed: "Miss, why are you doing this?"

Mr. Xi also said personally that he investigated the matter and found nothing wrong.

Behind her stood several seemingly ordinary men. One of them, an elder in his forties, replied: "Miss, I hope you can show some filial piety for him and live near the ancestral mausoleum for another half year."

Liu Yun sneered twice in his heart. Pei Yue's performance seemed to have returned to normal just now, but his previous foolish move had greatly changed the situation. After this brief interlude, his own forces would inevitably pursue him fiercely.

Shen Danmo said again: "If I want to leave, you can't stop me."

"I'm going to the south to see what Pei Yue is doing there, and then I'm going to visit Mr. Xi, who has no plans. My father has been hiding it from me and hasn't revealed any useful information, so I can't guess what he is for the time being. How to plan the situation."

It was difficult for Mr. Gu and others to accept this topic. As the most loyal and powerful guards of the Shen family, of course they knew about the entanglement between their young lady and the Marquis of Zhongshan.

In the fourth year of Renxuan's reign and the fourth year after Emperor Kaiping ascended the throne, when Silent Cloud was close to taking control of Taishitai Pavilion, a drunken brawl accidentally killed someone in the capital. Unfortunately, Silent Cloud's son Shen Wende was killed, and only Shen was left. Danmo is an only daughter.

She paused slightly and said calmly: "You can rest assured that I am not the kind of willful and mischievous woman. I will not intervene without authorization to disrupt Kyoto's arrangements, but I can always plan another escape route for my father. My brother has been dead for many years, and now I Naturally, we cannot sit back and watch my father face danger alone, even if there is a bottomless cliff ahead."

At this point, Shen Danmo stopped narrating, turned around and asked, "Would you like to go with us?"

She showed a friendly smile, bright and brilliant.

In this heavy world, it seems as if a bright color suddenly appears.
