Shen Qin was summoned to Huaguangguan by Emperor Kang in the afternoon and asked him to prepare the medicinal tea formula.

Prince Li Wei was also there, staring at Shen Qin with his malicious little eyes.

After finishing the prescription, Emperor Kang said expressionlessly,

"President Shen, in this martial arts competition, you have made great achievements in curing the generals. I will grant you a marriage!"

This was too sudden. Shen Qin was stunned for a moment before replying.

"Your Majesty, I have an engagement with a folk girl in the countryside."

Kandi sneered and said,

"How can a common woman be worthy of being judged by such a talented person in the Shen Court? Prince, tell me, which outstanding woman will I bestow upon him?"

The prince said respectfully,

"Xiaoxiang, the daughter of the prison chief of the Ministry of Punishment, is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a virtuous and virtuous person who should be worthy of being judged by Shen Yuan."

Kandi replied.

"Indeed, isn't she in Xinzheku? Let Eunuch Zhang be the matchmaker and set a good and auspicious date to get married!"

The prince couldn't hold back his evil smile.

This must be a trap. Just as Shen Qin was about to refuse, Eunuch Zhang winked at him.

"You still haven't accepted the order to express your gratitude?"

Shen Qin gritted his teeth and had no choice but to kneel down and thank him, thinking: Okay, Emperor Kang actually likes to be a matchmaker so much.

It's okay this time, he and Li Yunxi both have wives, so no one should dislike the other.

……

……

"Xiaoxiang, the daughter of the prison chief of the Ministry of Punishment?"

After hearing this, Li Yunxi squeezed the teacup tightly and said angrily.

"This is humiliating. It must be that the prince used the pillow to make a fuss and said that my husband had an affair with Mrs. Lin. My father believed it and deliberately manipulated my husband."

"Who is she?"

After all, Shen Qin had only entered the palace not long ago and had never heard of the name Xiaoxiang.

Li Yunxi patted the seat next to Luo Han.

"Stop standing, come and sit next to me."

Shen Qin obeyed and just sat down, Li Yunxi picked up his hand and played with it.

"She used to be Li Yi's concubine, but she cheated on the groom. The two of them had an affair on the roadside carriage. As a result, they passed by a hunter carrying a tiger skin. The horse thought it was a tiger and was frightened. The carriage was pulled into chaos. Run, these two people rolled naked from the carriage onto the street, and everyone knew what they did, and Li Yi was disgraced."

"..."

Shen Qin didn't know what to say. What happened to Zhao Tian last time made him deeply realize that women in this dynasty couldn't help themselves. Maybe she just wanted to pursue free feelings.

"The groom was executed on the spot. Xiaoxiang was originally sentenced to ride a wooden horse. Her mother wrote a letter in blood and was hung from the beam to plead for her. In order to save face, Li Yi lowered the punishment and punished her by stripping off her clothes in public and spanking her. Then, she was divorced by Li Yi and was punished to go to Xinzheku to do laundry. By calculation, she is over 30 years old this year. I heard that she also suffered from cold paralysis, her hands and feet were deformed, and she looked very old."

Shen Qin was silent for a long time and said.

"It's a bit miserable..."

"Your nails are a bit long, can I help you trim them?"

Li Yunxi rubbed Shen Qin's fingers and said suddenly.

Shen Qin was shocked and hurriedly took out his hand.

"I am frightened."

"Come on, Brother Han used to cut my nails when he was little. I have never done this before at my age! I want to play!"

Li Yunxi couldn't help but snatched Shen Qin's hand away, and asked Liu Qingyan to get silver nail clippers and a handkerchief to collect the clipped nails.

Shen Qin could only endure it, watching Li Yunxi's unfamiliar techniques, for fear of being cut.

"I heard that nails can be used as medicine."

Shen Qin said professionally.

"Also known as tendon retraction, clearing away heat and detoxifying, resolving decay and regenerating muscle."

Li Yunxi said,

"No, sir, this is called Immortal Armor."

Shen Qin replied.

"Related to the cactus?"

Li Yunxi smiled like a clear spring hitting the cobblestones.

"How interesting sir!"

Shen Qin reminded,

"Your Highness, have we digressed for a long time?"

Li Yunxi laughed again,

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. If you really marry her, many people will laugh at you."

Shen Qin said lightly,

"It's not worth mentioning. This may be a good thing for her."

Li Yunxi was slightly startled and joked.

"If sir can save those poor women through marriage, maybe he can have a harem."

Shen Qin said succinctly, "Yes, but not including the body."

Li Yunxi blinked and said with a smile.

"So, sir, who are you going to leave your body to?"

Looking at those beautiful peach blossom eyes, Shen Qin's heart palpitated for some reason, her ears felt hot, and she quickly avoided the question.

"Well, Wang Jingwen..."

Li Yunxi said while carefully trimming Shen Qin's nails.

"Don't worry, your good student is not in danger yet, but it will be hard to say in the future."

Shen Qin wanted to know the reason, but Li Yunxi saw through his mind and said.

"There is indeed something wrong with the porcelain kiln you found. On the surface, people use wooden boxes to transport porcelain to other places. In fact, all the porcelain they transport is soil. After transporting it, it is dumped directly into the river on the outskirts of the city. So why do you need to transport soil secretly? ?”

Shen Qin was shocked.

"Dig a tunnel?"

Li Yunxi said.

"Yes, they actually dug a long tunnel that led directly to the stadium. Later, through tracking, I discovered that they started moving boxes into the kiln. They looked very heavy. I sent someone to secretly detect the black powder leaking from the cracks in the boxes and found that it was gunpowder.

After discussing with Bai Yu, I decided to stand still and lure the snake out of the hole.

On the night before the final, Bai Yu killed all the people in the cave dwelling, transferred the gunpowder buried in the stadium through the tunnel, penetrated the secret tunnel, covered it with a wooden cover and earth, and sent guards to hide in it and stand by..."

Li Yunxi described what happened and then said.

"I suspect that the rebels intercepted and killed the Dali warriors and envoys participating in the competition, and assumed their identities to sneak into the competition."

Shen Qin asked,

"So Your Highness is just guessing and has not caught anyone alive for interrogation?"

Li Yunxi shook his head.

"Tuoba Jun's group either committed suicide or was killed. This is the consistent style of the Dark Snake organization, and the minions who dug the tunnels only listened to the whistles and lit gunpowder.

However, the mole was caught, and Liu Yue was inspected by the deputy secretary in front of the palace.

Since Ma Shuai was dismissed, the Imperial City Division began to tighten military discipline. Officers were replaced, imprisoned, and exiled one after another. Liu Yue had something in his heart and was in panic all day long. So he participated in the rebellion under the instigation and bribery of the Dark Snake Organization. According to the original He made a plan, and he commanded the guards of the arena and the Dark Snake rebels to kidnap the royal family and control the entire country. "

Shen Qin sighed,

"So ambitious."

Li Yunxi sighed,

"They underestimated their father's suspicion. The Imperial City Division had already taken precautions. On the day of the finals, the officers responsible for competition security were followed by Imperial City Division guards. Anyone who dared to call his subordinates to rebel would be killed immediately.

Moreover, my father didn't come to the game at all. He even didn't tell me or the other two princes. He even sent a very similar stand-in to act, and I almost didn't notice. "

Shen Qin said,

"So he is also testing the prince."

Li Yunxi said helplessly.

"Yes, my father doesn't believe anyone."

It seems that Emperor Kang became more vigilant and suspicious after the incident at Taikang Mountain.

Shen Qin asked,

"Why is Wang Jun involved?"

Li Yunxi replied

"According to Liu Yue's confession, he had approached Wang Jun before and wanted to get him to join the gang. Wang Jun did not express his position or report the matter. He committed the crime of cover-up. His father called Wang Jun for questioning. Wang Jun complained that Liu Yue had evil intentions. After dragging him into the water, my father still put him in a prison for interrogation."
