Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 201 Tianxia and Shen Shenshen 2 Choose 1

"I have found out who is behind Zhou Yiran."

"Have you found out?" Zhu Yanxiao was surprised at Xie Wangan's speed.

"Yes." Master Xie hesitated to speak.

Today is a perfect opportunity for me to come to Prince Zhong's mansion and apologize openly while my mother is at Heyinlou and trying to ask Miss Shen to cancel the engagement.

"Ziyuan, Zhou Yiran is definitely not from the Burning Shadow Hall, and the person behind the scenes is also not from the Burning Shadow Hall. What the two of them need is the Burning Shadow Hall's secret technique."

"Who is behind this?"

Master Xie was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered three words: "Fourth Prince."

"Fourth Prince Zhu Jizhan?" Zhu Yanxiao was shocked, frowning, thinking to himself. Why did the fourth prince, Prince De, want to find the secret technique of Fenyingtang? What was his purpose?

"This matter is of great importance. Weichuan must handle it carefully." Zhu Ziyuan said in a serious tone.

Master Xie agreed, "The most important thing right now is that we can't let Prince De find out that we know his plan. If you want to catch big fish, you need bait."

Zhu Yanxiao's eyes were sharp, and he tapped the desk with his index finger, saying, "Although the Fourth Prince is only the son of the Concubine Xian, he has been named the Prince of Virtue by His Majesty, and does not need to go to the fiefdom. I never thought he would be so ambitious. Now that I know he is secretly plotting, the situation in the court will probably become more complicated."

Master Xie nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. "We need to be extra cautious, otherwise we will fall into their trap."

Zhu Ziyuan frowned, "Not only that, we have to find a way to figure out whether the Fourth Prince's true intention is what we guessed. If he gets the secret technique of the Burning Shadow Hall, I wonder if it will be harmful to Your Majesty..."

Master Xie suggested, "Perhaps we can start with Zhou Yiran and find an opportunity to explore the Fourth Prince's motives and plans."

Zhu Yanxiao nodded and said, "Remember not to alert the enemy. The most important thing is to find Zhou Yiran's whereabouts first."

"Ziyuan, we have not been able to find Zhou Yiran's whereabouts. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. Regarding the search for Zhou Yiran, Weichuan thought... Zhou Yiran has always liked Miss Shen Er, so let her lure Zhou Yiran out."

Zhu Yanxiao stood up suddenly, his voice carrying a hint of anger: "No! This prince will never agree! The gods must not be involved in this matter."

Master Xie quickly explained: "Ziyuan, I know you are worried about the safety of Second Miss Shen. But this is the fastest way to find Zhou Yiran. You can let Feidaowei make full preparations to ensure the safety of Second Miss Shen."

Zhu Yanxiao immediately denied it, "Don't even think about it. This prince will never let Shenshen take risks."

Master Xie said anxiously: "Ziyuan, those who achieve great things must know how to weigh the pros and cons. If one day, you can only choose between the Zhu family and the Second Miss Shen, what will Ziyuan choose?"

Zhu Yanxiao took a deep breath, without the slightest hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "This prince will choose Shenshen."

Master Xie sighed, "Ziyuan, Weichuan doesn't want you to give up Second Miss Shen, he just hopes you can put the overall situation first. Zhou Yiran is very important. If we can find him, we can solve the Third Prince's conspiracy, save His Majesty, save the royal family, and save the world."

"Of course I know what Weichuan said, but letting a woman like Shenshen bear the risk makes me look incompetent."

Master Xie sighed, "Alas ~ Weichuan knows. Does Ziyuan have any good ideas now?"

Zhu Yanxiao thought for a moment and said, "Increase the number of personnel to secretly investigate Zhou Yiran's whereabouts, and at the same time let our people in the palace pay attention to everything about the Fourth Prince."

Master Xie nodded, "Let's do it this way for now." But he was thinking about how to get Shen Shenshen involved. Only Shen Shenshen could lure Zhou Yiran out. Otherwise, by the time their people find him, the dynasty would probably have changed.

"Weichuan, there is one more thing." Zhu Yanxiao seemed to suddenly remember something. "This prince remembers that you are an expert in both calligraphy and painting. I will give you three days to paint a few pictures of cranes. The gods need them."

"Crane picture?"

"What? You don't know?" Zhu Yanxiao's eyes were cold. If he doesn't know anything, what's the use of him?

"Yes, I will, but I don't know what kind of crane painting Ziyuan wants?"

"Just move the crane in various forms. Remember, you only have three days."

"Okay. After you finish the painting, Weichuan will go directly to Heyinlou to give it to Miss Shen Er."

Zhu Yanxiao looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes."

After Xie Wangan left, Zhu Yanxiao felt even more depressed. He knew that what Master Xie said made sense, but he couldn't involve Shen Shenshen in this dispute. Moreover, the current situation was urgent, so he had to re-evaluate the situation.

At night, Zhu Yanxiao came to the Qinghua Garden.

"Ziyuan, did you miss Shenshen today?" Whenever Shen Shenshen saw him, he was always cheerful and energetic. Zhu Yanxiao liked this feeling very much.

"Very much." He walked over and gently embraced her in his arms.

"What's wrong?" Shen Shen keenly noticed that the prince was in a bad mood.

"No problem. I have some tedious matters to deal with in the Censorate."

"Yeah. Take your time, don't be in a hurry." Shen Shenshen had no doubts at all. She felt at ease leaning in Zhu Yanxiao's arms.

"God, God, this prince is sometimes very tired." Especially today, after listening to what Master Xie said, he knew that the court would be in turmoil, and for the sake of His Majesty, Prince Zhong's Mansion must stand in front.

"Ziyuan, you are the prince of the royal family. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. But it doesn't matter. We can take a break when we are tired."

"Have a holiday?"

"Tomorrow you go to the palace and ask His Majesty to let us go to the Royal Gardens to see the monkeys. If His Majesty agrees, we can go see the monkeys. If not, how about we go on a pleasure boat cruise?"

"Okay." Zhu Yanxiao smiled.

"Since Ziyuan is so tired, then tonight..."

"Not good." Zhu Yanxiao frowned slightly, lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear: "Spending a good night with the gods is the best way for this prince to relieve stress."

After saying this, before he could finish his words, he stretched out his arms and hugged Shen Shen tightly in his arms, and gently placed her on the bed. Then, his warm and soft lips gently touched her lips like a dragonfly touching the water.

Shen Shenshen could not help but feel flustered, thinking that if things continued like this, she would soon have to face the situation of being married with a child. However, at this moment, the prince had no time to care about what she was thinking, as his passionate kiss had already made her intoxicated and at a loss.

What happened next...needs no further elaboration.

The next day, the sun shone through the carriage window onto Shen Shenshen's exhausted face. Although she had spent the entire night in a state of passionate love with Zhu Yanxiao, she still arrived at Heyinlou with huge dark circles under her eyes.

As soon as I entered the door, Shopkeeper He came up to me with an excited look on his face and said excitedly, "Second Miss Shen, I asked around yesterday and it took me a lot of effort to find a few familiar painters! They also helped introduce other friends. Today, there are seven painters who are willing to come and give it a try."

Shen Shen was overjoyed after hearing this. His originally dull mind became cheerful, and he asked eagerly, "That's great! Have the painters arrived yet?"

"Here we are! We are all waiting for you in the inner room!" Shopkeeper He replied quickly and led Shen Shen to the inner room.

The two walked quickly into the room, only to see seven painters with different styles sitting together. Shen Shenshen was secretly happy, thinking that this time he might be able to find a partner that suits his taste.

When many painters saw Manager He leading a beautiful woman into the house, they all showed confusion on their faces.

They thought to themselves: Hasn't this Heyinlou always been the property of Prince Zhong? How could such a distinguished noble lady suddenly appear here?

Just as everyone was whispering, Shopkeeper He said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet! Let me introduce you to Miss Shen Er from the Anbo Marquis's Mansion. The final decision on the recruitment of painters will be made entirely by Miss Shen Er. I hope you can fully demonstrate your talents and painting skills and strive to win the favor of Miss Shen Er!"

As soon as the voice fell, the originally noisy room suddenly became silent. The painters looked at each other in bewilderment.

A painter who was about thirty years old and thin stood up and saluted, saying, "Please forgive my abruptness, Miss Shen. If you are the judge today, I would like to ask if you can paint?"

Shen Shen sat in the main seat and said in a dignified and cold voice: "No."

"No?" The thin painter hesitated and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Miss Shen Er can't paint, how can you judge what is good and bad? How can you decide whether we should stay or go?" Another young painter stood up and saluted. He had a delicate appearance and wore a long gown that was washed white. One could tell at a glance that he was living in poverty.
