Chapter 339: Cannot Betray the Bottom Line
Shen Yubao was immersed in joy: "I have the qualifications to become a master of mystic arts? Does that mean that I can also learn mystic arts from Fairy Sister in the future?"
Yi Mobao couldn't bear to tell Shen Yubao the truth and just nodded silently.
"So, you just have a hunch, not because you know any clues." When Shen Yaosi saw Shen Yubao nod, deep disappointment rolled in his eyes.
He originally thought that Shen Yubao could become a breakthrough point, but he didn't expect that his expectations were in vain.
"Uncle, I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you." Seeing Shen Yaosi's gloomy face, Shen Yubao apologized carefully.
Shen Yaosi was originally immersed in his own thoughts, but he didn't expect Shen Yubao to say this suddenly. He looked at him in surprise.
The child in front of him was only five or six years old, and was born thin. He was wearing a huge brace around his neck, which made him look even smaller. He looked pitiful no matter how you looked at him.
Shen Yaosi hesitated for a moment and said, "This is not your fault. I should thank you for saving my life. Regardless of your purpose, if it weren't for you, I would have died."
"Then, little uncle, can you fulfill one of my wishes?" Shen Yubao blinked at Shen Yaosi expectantly.
Shen Yaosi couldn't refuse Shen Yubao, so he agreed to his request: "What is your wish?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you now. I'll tell you later when the time comes!" Shen Yubao said this and suddenly groaned.
Yi Mobao quickly held Shen Yubao's chin steady, not allowing him to move: "Close your eyes and have a good rest. In fact, you are not in a good condition to work hard now. You must be tired after talking so much just now. Take a rest quickly."
Ever since he was injured, Shen Yubao has become easily tired.
Although he wanted to say a few more words, Shen Yubao lost the ability to resist after being forced to close his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
"Since Young Master Shen is resting, let's go out first." Prime Minister Shen didn't show any reluctance the whole time. He left after saying this, without even looking at Shen Yubao.
Seeing that only Wang gave Shen Yubao a look and then quickly retracted it, Yi Mobao could tell that no one in the Shen family liked Shen Yubao very much.
Thinking about Shen Yubao's happy expression when he mentioned the Shen family, Yi Mobao sighed helplessly and followed him obediently.
Yi Mobao sent Shen Yaosi back to Qinghui Garden. When he led Prime Minister Shen and Wang back to the main hall, he saw Yi Qianhuan waiting in the hall.
Prime Minister Shen and Wang had not had much contact with Yi Qianhuan before, but after they entered the room and saw Yi Qianhuan's noble demeanor, they recognized her identity effortlessly.
"Your Highness the Lord of the State."
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Lord God of the State."
"No need to be polite, seniors. In terms of age, I am your junior, so there is absolutely no reason for me to accept your courtesy." Yi Qianhuan said, raising his hand to motion for the two to take a seat.
"Mom, you are finally done with your work." When Yi Mobao saw Yi Qianhuan, a bright smile immediately bloomed in his eyes, and he hurried over to sit down beside her.
"I just asked you to receive two distinguished guests. Are you taking good care of them?" Yi Qianhuan asked this, but he had great confidence in Yi Mobao in his heart.
Mobao has been more sensible than other children since she was young, and her etiquette is impeccable. She has never worried about problems in this regard.
"Thanks to the young master for leading us, we were able to meet Yao'er smoothly. Lord God of the Country, we have heard what happened. Thank you and Young Master Mo for your help in saving my son's life." Shen Xiang said, and saluted to Yi Qianhuan again.
This time, Yi Qianhuan did not stop him.
She did save Shen Yaosi's life, so accepting this gift was also a way of accepting Shen Xiang's reward, thus completing the cause and effect of this matter.
"Master Shen has devoted his life to Yunzhao State. I am just doing a small favor. And if the Prime Minister wants to thank me, why don't you do me a favor?"
Minister Shen was surprised by Yi Qianhuan's frankness, but found that he was not disgusted by Yi Qianhuan's frankness: "Don't worry, Lord Guoshen, as long as it is beneficial to Yunzhao Kingdom, this old minister will do his best."
Seeing that Shen Xiang spoke so smoothly, Yi Qianhuan pretended that he didn't understand what he meant and said with a smile: "Shen Xiang, I want to ask you for help not with state affairs, but with family affairs."
"Is the National God doing this for Major General Yi Qianyuan?"
"The Prime Minister is indeed an open-minded person. If we can get the Prime Minister's help, it will be a blessing for our entire Yiguo Mansion." Seeing that Prime Minister Shen did not respond, Yi Qianhuan continued: "In the Xiye War, my father led the Yunzhao Kingdom to a great victory, but because of too many casualties, he was attacked by the ministers. I heard that it was you, Prime Minister Shen, and the Regent who fought against the ministers together, which saved my father's lifelong reputation."
Prime Minister Shen's expression was indifferent: "Duke Yi and his wife sacrificed their lives for the country. They have already given everything for Yunzhao. If they are held accountable for these mistakes, how can we be worthy of their spirits in heaven? Moreover, Xijiang is a powerful country. The battle of Xiye was a desperate battle for Yunzhao. Victory is a blessing in disguise. Sacrifice was expected."
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Shen sighed, "Back then, I was just following my heart. But the young general hasn't returned for six years, and now he's suddenly back, causing constant discussion in the court and the public. It's not that I can't help the young general deal with it, but I'm devoted to Yun Zhao. If the young general can't prove his innocence, I can't betray my bottom line for many years."
Seeing that Shen Xiang had a serious expression, Yi Qianhuan looked at him with a little more awe in his eyes: "Please rest assured, Shen Xiang, I will never make things difficult for Shen Xiang. Big brother, please explain today's matter to Shen Xiang in person. Shen Xiang, if you still think that my big brother is not worth helping after listening to what my big brother said, I will never make things difficult for him. My gratitude to Shen Yaosi for saving my life ends here, and I will never bother him again in the future."
Before Shen Xiang could answer, he saw Yi Qianyuan walking out from the inner hall.
Yi Qianyuan was dressed in a crescent-white gown, looking elegant and easy-going, with a slender figure and pale face, completely different from what Shen Xiang remembered.
"Major General?" If Shen Xiangruo had not discovered that Yi Qianyuan's facial features had not changed, he would not have dared to associate the elegant and easy-going man in front of him with the once high-spirited, well-dressed and vigorous Major General of the Duke of Yi's Mansion!
"Greetings to Prime Minister Shen." Yi Qianyuan politely saluted Prime Minister Shen, then bowed to Wang, "Greetings to Madam."
Wang couldn't believe her eyes: "How could the young general change so much?"
"People who have experienced life and death naturally don't have the same firm character as before. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Prime Minister Shen and his wife." Yi Qianyuan said and sat down opposite the two of them.
