Shen Shiyun said, "The current situation is urgent, the Chen family will not be able to swallow their anger, they will definitely rebel. Their influence in the city is quite extensive, it is very likely that they will incite the people to revolt. Once the people's hearts crumble, their momentum will shake the foundation of Liang Mu. Our only option is to abandon the pawn to protect the cart, to take the lead and kill all the Chen family members, and then frame the Devil Cult. Since that Chen Xiangxiang has pretended to be a Miss of the Devil Cult, it is only logical that she would meet with this kind of calamity, it is enough to gain their trust. We can also seize this opportunity to be a good person, allocate a large sum of money for the burial, and then build an ancestral hall for the Chen family to worship. Moreover, this monstrous anger will unite the people and make them determined to annihilate the Devil Cult, killing two birds with one stone. The Imperial Court will just sit back and reap the benefits. Chenqie is at her wit's end, hence she resorted to this unwise plan. Your Majesty, please don't blame Chenqie for being ruthless. "
Zheng Ying's fierce gaze immediately fell on Shen Shiyun's face, her heart was jumping with joy. She mused, "Bengong wants to catch Consort Yun's weakness, but I can't do it. Now in order to gain merit, she has revealed her crafty plan, unexpectedly saying that she wants to annihilate the Chen family … Your Majesty has seen her malicious intention." To her surprise, Fulin was not angry at all. He sighed and said, "Zhen wholeheartedly wants to subdue the people's hearts and pacify them. But won't this be the opposite of my original intention? You see, if Zhen announces to the world, confess my mistake, and sincerely beg for forgiveness, can this crisis be averted? "
"Your Majesty," Shen Shiyun said, "It's useless, it's simply slapping your own ears in front of the world. The Chen family will never accept it. In order to pacify this small group of people, you will lose the people's hearts in the world. It's like losing a watermelon, you won't even be able to pick up a sesame seed. Chenqie thinks Your Majesty will be able to clearly see the pros and cons. "
Fulin sighed and said, "That's also reasonable … ay, Zhen is too tired, too tired. I'll leave this matter to you. When the time comes, you must be very careful, don't leave the slightest trace and let other people criticize you. In the future, when handling cases, you must take this as a warning, don't allow similar things to happen again. "Shen Shiyun slightly bent her knees and said with a laugh," As Your Majesty. It is chenqie's duty to share His Majesty's worries. I hope that His Majesty can relax and take care of His Majesty's body. " Zheng Ying's face was full of grief and indignation, she said in her heart, "She even dared to make this kind of suggestion, I'm sure His Majesty will agree with her … She's biased! Biased! "

Back to the time when the eunuch came to deliver the imperial edict, Luo Jin saw his flustered expression, she also thought that Fulin only favored Shen Shiyun, unless something big happened, otherwise he would not show her any displeasure. She guessed that this matter would not be resolved in a short period of time, but her opportunity had come. As soon as Shen Shiyun left the Snow Song Palace, she immediately ordered the palace maids to withdraw and wait for orders. After closing the door, she first took out the books with the new covers. After briefly flipping through them and confirming their contents, she rolled them up and stuffed them into her sleeve. He then walked slowly in the hall, his eyes darting everywhere, not even letting go of the corners. After searching for a while, she found nothing. She then tiptoed to Shen Shiyun's room. She took a deep breath and was about to enter when she suddenly heard a voice at the door, "Miss Jin? Why are you acting so sneakily? What are you doing? "
Luo Jin was startled and quickly made up an excuse in her mind. When she turned around, she saw that it was Hu Wei. Thinking about how he hid at the door and peeked at her, and how he dared to scare her half to death, she was really angry. She was about to explode when she suddenly changed her mind, "I stole a few books, who knows if this brat saw them or not? Maybe he will report them to Her Highness. This kind of scoundrel is narrow-minded and can do anything! There are only two ways to make another person keep their mouth shut. The first is to turn him into a dead person, the second is to become his accomplice … The first way is obviously not realistic, then … "She put away her angry expression and raised her finger to beckon him, calling out mysteriously," Hu Wei … Hu Wei, shh … come here! "
Sure enough, Hu Wei's curiosity was aroused. He walked forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" Luo Jin shook her head and made a gesture of looking around, hinting him to lower his head. Then she whispered, "I ask you, Consort Zhen gave the original Tears of Absolute Soul to Her Highness. Do you know where it is?"
Hu Wei said, "Of course, there is nothing I don't know …" Halfway through, he glanced suspiciously at Luo Jin and said, "What do you want the blueprint for? Could it be that you want to solve the mystery in private and compete with me for credit? "Luo Jin forced herself to be calm and pretended to be disdainful," Who cares? Only incompetent people live in fear all day, holding on to the credit that is as small as a grain of rice. You also know that Her Highness values the secret in the blueprint. We are all her subordinates. Isn't it our duty to help her solve some problems? Otherwise, what good will it do if the blueprint is hidden until it becomes moldy? "
Hu Wei felt that what she said was right. He scratched his head and said, "Then it's settled. After solving the mystery, the credit will be divided forty-sixty." He turned around and stepped into the room. Luo Jin was delighted, but she felt that if she compromised so easily, it would be inconsistent with her character. She would inevitably arouse suspicion, so she purposely muttered, "Nineteen."
Hu Wei walked straight to Shen Shiyun's bed, opened a secret cabinet under the bed, and pulled out a black wooden chest. He smiled and said, "Miss Jin is so generous, willing to give up the credit. You take ten and I take nine. It would be impolite for me to refuse, but I accept it with a clear conscience. Many thanks. " He turned the key, and the left keyhole made a "click" sound. Luo Jin also took out the key and opened the right side. The key to the chest was specially designed by a craftsman. Shen Shiyun gave the key to each of them for safekeeping. It was also to keep them in check so that they couldn't open the chest privately.
The first thing that caught his eye was some jewelry. Although it was used to deceive others, it was still very valuable. Hu Wei carefully moved it away and rummaged through the chest for a long time. He took out a wrinkled and worn-out blueprint and said, "This is it. The rest of the secret records about the Tears of Absolute Soul and Prince Zhuang are all kept here. "
Luo Jin happily said, "Good, it's all mine!" She excitedly stretched out her hand to take it. It was said that extreme joy begets sorrow. She was so excited that she forgot to hold her sleeves tightly. A few old books slipped out from her open sleeves. Luo Jin coughed a few times and quickly covered the floor with her clothes. She anxiously pushed the books back into her sleeves. Hu Wei's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He grabbed her right wrist and slowly moved it away. Luo Jin watched as he picked up the scattered books one by one and carefully flipped through them. Waiting was really torturous. Hu Wei recognized at a glance that these were secret records whose covers had been changed. He was silent for a while to give both sides time to calm down. Then he coldly said, "Why do you want to read these books? What do you want to investigate?"
Luo Jin sternly said, "Are you interrogating me?" She asked in a shrill voice to hide her guilty conscience. At the same time, she raised her eyes and glared at him, instilling her anger into her brain. Hu Wei saw that she didn't understand his good intentions. He was full of bitterness, but he didn't want to make things worse. He seriously said, "I am concerned about you. I don't want you to be impulsive and do something stupid. It will be too late to regret it." Luo Jin carefully probed, "What do you mean? What do you think I want to do? "
Hu Wei sighed. He raised his hand and closed the box with a 'bang' sound. He put his palm on the top of the box and shook his head. He said, "Although I don't know what you are planning to do, I can at least be sure of one thing: you are playing with fire. I advise you to think twice before you act. The complexity of the struggle for power is something you can't imagine. Everyone in the palace is in danger. Everyone speaks and acts cautiously. They are afraid that this fire will burn them … "
Luo Jin impatiently said, "I have thought it through clearly enough. I don't need you to meddle. You can choose not to help me. That is your freedom. But I will not allow you to hinder me. "She raised one of her eyebrows and coldly said," Take your hand away! "
Hu Wei lowered his head. He didn't want to refuse her face to face, but he also didn't want to give in. Luo Jin jumped up and forcefully pushed his shoulders. She pulled and her long fingernails scratched the back of his hand. Hu Wei sucked in a breath of cold air. He still did the same. The two of them argued for a long time. Neither of them had the upper hand. At this time, a eunuch outside the hall called out, "Is Hu Daren here? Consort Yun has sent a secret edict! "Luo Jin rejoiced in his misfortune and said," Quickly go and receive the edict. Don't delay the time. "Hu Wei's face revealed a bitter smile. He simply grabbed Luo Jin's wrist and pulled her into the hall.
When the eunuch saw the two of them like this, he immediately misunderstood. He laughed mischievously and said, "Aiyo, this servant has come at the wrong time. I have ruined Hu Daren and Miss Jin's good thing. I really deserve to die." He pretended to lightly slap his own face. He wanted to make a few more jokes, but he couldn't stand Luo Jin's glare. It was as if she wanted to eat him alive. He took out a wax pill and gave it to Hu Wei. He winked at him and quickly retreated.
Hu Wei pulled Luo Jin back to the main room. He broke the wax pill and took out a small folded piece of paper. After reading it, he explained, "Consort Yun has decreed that the Chen family has become a useless chess piece. She wants me to bring people to destroy them under the banner of the Devil Cult. She also said that the Chen family has a lot of money and water. She has given me special permission to take the plundered money for myself." Shen Shiyun had planned to destroy the Chen family long ago. This time, Chen Weishang's matter suddenly happened. He could take the opportunity to obtain Fulin's approval and do things properly. It could be considered a lucky hit.
Luo Jin said, "Uh, okay. You go quickly. This is a lucrative job. After you have made a lot of money, you can share it with me equally." Hu Wei's face was full of depression. He stared at the wooden chest in a daze. Luo Jin quickly said, "Don't worry. Who would go against money? Now you are my God of Wealth. How would I dare to offend you? Think about it. Which is more attractive, a few pieces of paper or colorful banknotes? Am I right? "
Hu Wei heard that she was serious. In the end, he did not expect that she had secretly pledged allegiance to the Devil Cult. He nodded and put the blueprint into his pocket. He said seriously, "This … I will keep it with me first." Luo Jin pretended to be indifferent. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Up to you. But Consort Yun will check at any time. Once she finds that the blueprint is missing, I will say that you stole it. How do you think she will punish you?"
Hu Wei's heart trembled. He agreed that what Luo Jin said was true. It was better to be safe than sorry. In the end, he did not dare to take this risk. He awkwardly took out the blueprint and put it back in its original position. Luo Jin also helped him push the chest back into the secret cabinet. Only then did Hu Wei feel relieved and leave. Luo Jin waited until he was far away. She covered her mouth and laughed secretly. In fact, she and Hu Wei had both secretly engraved the clay stamp of another key and secretly imitated it. They both thought that the other party did not know.
After fiddling with it for a while, Luo Jin took the blueprint of the Soul Breaking Tear and the information in the chest. She returned to her room and took out a stack of tomb maps from under her bed. Hu Wei had asked her to give it to him before he left, but she had secretly hidden it. She sighed when she accidentally saw the translated text. She was able to obtain the jade annulus because Shen Shiyun apologized for doubting her earlier. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have made two copies. Now that she thought about it, it really wasn't worth it. She bit her lip and carefully organized it again.
At this time, a black shadow quietly flashed in. Shen Shiyun had deliberately schemed to deal with the Sacrificial Shadow Cult. The news was gradually spreading in Jianghu. The Hierarch was not deaf. After a long time, he would know even without An Yesun telling him. Jiang Jianchen couldn't help but feel uneasy, so he decided to enter the palace to investigate. He entered through the window just to pass by. Unexpectedly, he had only taken a few steps when Luo Jin threw herself at him and hugged him. She said happily, "I've finally met you. I … I … "
In the past few days, she had thought of many topics to talk about. She had even designed the specific answers. However, when they really met, she was so happy that her head was filled with blood. Her thoughts were blank and she spoke incoherently. Jiang Liechen shook his sleeve and flung her away. He said impatiently, "What do you want me to do?" He walked straight to the door, thinking that since she could be so carefree, the palace must be calm and peaceful, without any trouble. He felt slightly relieved. Turning his head halfway, he said, "How is the matter I asked you to do?"
