After rebirth and breaking off the engagement, I supported the new king to ascend to the throne

"What the Queen said is absolutely true. It's all my fault that I didn't listen to the Queen's teachings before, and that's why I got into trouble with the prince." As he said this, Shen Chenbi began to shed tears from the corners of her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.

Seeing this, the queen pretended to comfort him.

Shen Chenbi also made excuses with her, and they both had their own thoughts.

Not long after, the two parted ways.

However, when she returned to her house, she saw a figure hurriedly blocking her way.

He is the chief guard in Shen's mansion, and he directly manages the guards in Shen's mansion.

"Master, the young lady and my wife went to the palace for a banquet a few days ago. Two groups of assassins came to the palace, but they didn't seem to have any intention of entangled with us, as if they were looking for something." The captain of the guard recalled carefully, brows He frowned, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

Hearing this, Shen Chenbi suddenly thought of Shen Sixian. She seemed to be rummaging for something when she came back last time.

Could it be that they are all looking for glazed stones?

But why are there two groups of people? Shen Sixian is the queen's man, so one group of assassins must be sent by the queen. What about the other group of assassins? Who sent them? Could it be the emperor? Could it be that what happened yesterday has something to do with the emperor?

Thinking of this, Shen Chenbi's pupils tightened, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Okay, I know about this. Be careful in the future and protect my mother!" She warned her and left in a hurry.

When something like this happened, Shen Chenbi naturally went to Ye Xuanchen to discuss it.

She explained this matter to Ye Xuanchen, who immediately frowned and pursed his lips tightly, with a very serious expression on his face, "I will send someone to investigate this matter."

But in his heart, he was more afraid that the emperor and the queen would jump over the wall. If they couldn't find something, it would be terrible if they attacked the mother and daughter.

With this in mind, Ye Xuanchen secretly dispatched a group of secret guards to protect the safety of their mother and daughter.

At this moment, there was an old man outside the door asking to see him, "He said he had something important to tell me."

Not long after, Shen Chenbi saw a stooped old woman walking in. She even coughed because she was walking in a hurry.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but frown, and thought to herself: When did Ye Xuanchen have such a retainer?

The next moment, the woman took off her headscarf, revealing a wrinkled face. Although she was dressed carefully, her identity could still be judged from her facial features.

"My lord, long time no see!" Sun Xuemei stared at Ye Xuanchen's face with a smile on her face.

Ye Xuanchen frowned slightly, his face a little unnatural, and said coldly: "Why are you here?"

"Of course I have something important to tell you! I was dormant beside the queen and happened to hear the queen and the palace minister conspiring together." Sun Xuemei said with a serious look on her face.

Palace minister? Ye Xuanchen didn't know why, so he stared at Sun Xuemei and motioned for her to continue.

Seeing Ye Xuanchen's interest, Sun Xuemei was a little proud when she spoke, "It turns out that the day of the fireworks banquet was not an accident, but the queen did it deliberately. In addition, I also heard that they used this fireworks house as a cover to secretly Made black powder.”

Black powder! What does the queen want to do?

Hearing this, Shen Chenbi and Ye Xuanchen's expressions became a little more solemn, and they looked at each other.

"Then do you know where the black powder is hidden?" Shen Chenbi asked.

Sun Xuemei shook her head, feeling a little regretful, "I only heard them say that it was hidden in the capital. As for the specific location, I didn't hear them mention it."

The emperor may know something about the fireworks hurting people, but it is obvious that the emperor does not want to go into details.

But if it can be found out that the queen secretly made black powder and the facts are put in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely become suspicious of the queen. By then, the emperor will definitely not turn a blind eye anymore. In this way, Sun Only the imperial concubine can have a chance to stand up.

After thinking deeply for a moment, Ye Xuanchen nodded and said to Sun Xuemei, "Okay, I understand this matter. You can continue to go back to inquire about the news. If there is any other news, please inform me in time!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Sun Xuemei was not in a hurry to leave, and stared at Ye Xuanchen with a smile on her face, "I have inquired about such important information, does the prince just let me go like this?"

"Then what else do you want?" Ye Xuanchen frowned, with some displeasure on his face.

Sun Xuemei didn't hesitate and pointed directly to the token on his waist, "I work for the prince, so it's not too much to ask for a token from the prince! Why don't you take this opportunity to give the token to me?"

Shen Chenbi raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his lips, as if he was laughing at Sun Xuemei's stupidity.

Hearing this, Ye Xuanchen refused without thinking, "This is inappropriate. You are now someone close to the Queen. You took my token. If the Queen discovers it, I'm afraid your identity will be exposed. If it is true, In this case, according to the Queen's temperament, she will definitely not let you go easily!"

After hearing this, the smile on Sun Xuemei's face faded a lot, and she felt a little unwilling, but this emotion was quickly suppressed in her heart.

"Okay, then I will keep this reward for now. When I can stay with the prince openly, the prince will replenish it for me." Sun Xuemei said this, and wrapped the silk scarf in her hand around her head to cover it up. Gone is her appearance.

Then, Sun Xuemei stooped and left again.

After recuperation, the wound on Ye Xuanchen's back has begun to scab, but if he does not recuperate well, the wound will collapse again.

But at this time, he didn't care so much anymore and hurried to the dungeon to interrogate Gong Zuo.

Ye Xuanchen patiently interrogated Gong Zuo for half an hour, but in the final analysis, Gong Zuo was just a concubine in the palace. Originally, Gong Shangshu had no feelings for him, and he would not explain anything to him.

As a result, Gong Zuo didn't even know what Ye Xuanchen asked.

As for Sun Chen, he couldn't find anything useful. Although it was said that he and Gong Zuo jointly opened the fireworks shop, he was only responsible for taking the banknotes to buy shares, and let Gong Zuo handle all other matters. , he was just waiting to get the money.

However, he didn't make much money, and he was deceived by Gong Zuo.

Ye Xuanchen asked for an hour, but couldn't ask anything. He only felt a little headache, so he had no choice but to go back home first and discuss it later.

After returning, Ye Xuanchen explained the matter to Shen Chenbi.

Shen Chenbi also fell silent.

Suddenly, Shen Chenbi seemed to have thought of something, and raised his head to look at Ye Xuanchen, "Gong Shangshu, didn't Sun Xuemei say that this matter was a conspiracy between the Queen and the Gong Shangshu? But the Queen is in the palace and is subject to many restrictions. This black powder The production and storage must be handed over to the Palace Secretary, and as long as we keep an eye on the Palace Secretary, we will definitely be able to find some clues!"

After hearing this, Ye Xuanchen's eyes lit up a little, "Yes, I will send someone to check the Palace Secretary right now!"

With that said, Ye Xuanchen turned and left.

But after running back and forth, the wounds on Ye Xuanchen's body opened up a little more, and Shen Chenbi had to change his dressing and bandage him personally.
