Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

The night is getting dark, the backyard is silent, the spring rain is falling continuously, and the chirping of insects has become weaker.

Shen's residence, which should have turned off the lights in the courtyard early, is now brightly lit and very lively.

Shen Ji was sitting by the window, with his robe draped over his shoulders. He glanced at the pile of memorials in front of him. He heard laughter beside his ears. The pen that Shen Ji had just lifted paused in mid-air, and all the thoughts in his mind were interrupted. chaos.

Shen Ji sighed softly, slowly put down the pen, and said in a deep voice, "Wen Mo."

"Hey!" Wen Mo responded and trotted into the house, the smile on his face not fading away.

Shen Ji looked at him, his frown relaxed a little, and whispered, "Why is there so much noise outside?"

"But it's disturbing your husband's purity? I'll go out and let them know." Wen Mo had a smile on his face and hurriedly explained, "The master is leading his servants to hang horses in the yard, and he's also clamoring for a flower petal bath. .”

"Master?" Shen Ji glanced at him and said abruptly, "You changed your tone very quickly."

Wen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed, "The master just came here and already knew it, so he asked the servants to call him like this."

Shen Ji probably hadn't gotten used to the fact that he suddenly had a father. He stared down at the memorial on his face and asked in a calm tone, "How is he doing?"

Wen Mo clicked his tongue and shook his head pretending to be serious, "Sir, it's not like I'm a young man who doesn't show respect to the master. His horse-drawn beating was really... hard to judge. He lost all the money in his pocket."

Shen Ji looked calm, took off the purse from his waist, threw it on the table, pretended to be calm, picked up the pen, and said warmly, "Take it and let him have fun. If he loses, it's mine."

Wen Mo quickly took it and whispered, "Yes."

Shen Ji was busy reviewing the memorial and dismissed him casually, "You can go too, I don't need to wait here."

Wen Mo's heart flew out. After hearing this, he nodded hurriedly and said with a grin, "Thank you, sir!"

Looking at his excited back, Shen Ji couldn't help but want to laugh, and suddenly felt that the sounds in his ears were no longer so noisy.

About three moments later, a figure suddenly flashed outside the window.

Shen Ji noticed something, raised his eyes, and squeezed the penholder with a little force.

There were sounds from outside, as if someone was knocking on the window, three long and one short, and then there was no movement.

Shen Ji felt relieved, threw the pen aside, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The window was opened, and a dark shadow flashed into the room, bowing to Shen Ji politely, "Sir, I came down a little late."

Shen Ji had a smile on his face and said warmly, "It's not too late, sit down."

The man sat down cautiously, with his back straight, for fear of breaking the rules.

Shen Ji looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for the next step.

The man cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "My lord, I am keeping a close eye on Prime Minister Yun. He went to the palace today, stayed with the Queen for a long time, and finally slammed the door and left. He must have broken up on bad terms."

Shen Ji raised his hand to support his forehead, his dark hair spread over his shoulders, and his face could not be seen clearly, "He went to find the queen?"

"Yes." The man nodded and said in a more serious tone, "In addition... my subordinates found out that the Yun family has a medical clinic under its name. It does not accept outsiders all year round, but it always buys medicinal materials, and... it only accepts one kind of medicine. .”

Shen Ji raised his eyes and looked at him steadily, his eyes darkening a little, "What medicine?"

"Thunder Kung Vine." The man straightened his expression and said with a serious face, "I went to other medical clinics and asked about it. This Tripterygium vine is specially poisonous to the heart and liver, and it is extremely toxic."

Shen Ji didn't know what he thought of, his eyes darkened and his fingertips trembled slightly.

"Furthermore, my subordinate also discovered something." The man lowered his voice and met the gaze of the adult opposite, "Prime Minister Yun is very strange. Besides this subordinate, there was someone following him. I saw that person's face. , is a young eunuch in the Queen’s Palace.”

"She is checking up on her biological father..."

Shen Ji was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "You just follow me from a distance, don't try to scare others, and try to find a way to spread the news about Tripterygium vine to the Queen's ears."

Hearing this, the man understood instantly and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do it."

The man left quietly. Shen Ji stared at the Memorial Mountain in front of him, losing interest. Prime Minister Yun's honest and honest face kept appearing in his mind. His fingertips slowly tightened and clenched into fists.

"Yun Jianshan..."

-

The next day, the weather was just right, and Shen Ji couldn't bear his temper, so he made an appointment with Fang to go on a cruise to enjoy the spring.

There was a lot of greenery, and the two of them were sitting on the edge of the boat. The atmosphere was surprisingly quiet, and they could only hear the subtle sound of water.

Fang Xu held a piece of pastry in his hand, glanced at the man beside him, and joked, "It's really strange that a busy person still has time to go out and play."

Shen Ji took her words calmly and smiled gently, "No matter how busy you are, you must put your wife first."

Seeing Fang Xu about to put the tea cake into his mouth, Su Zi quickly stepped forward, took out a small cloth bag, took out a silver needle, and whispered, "Madam..."

Fang Xu glanced at her, not caring much, "This snack is prepared by the boatman, how can it be poisonous?"

Su Zi shook his head and insisted on his opinion, "It's safer to let the slave test it with a silver needle."

Fang Xu knew he couldn't defeat her, so he put down the tea and let her poke him one by one.

Seeing that Su Zi was serious, Fang Xu chuckled helplessly and said quietly, "I know you care about me, but this is too much trouble. I have told you many times that if someone wants to harm me, just give me some powdered medicine or a silver needle." It can’t be found out.”

"I just want peace of mind." Su Zi glanced at the silver needle and saw that it didn't change color. He smiled and handed the plate of snacks back to Fang Xu.

There was a crisp sound and the porcelain spoon fell on the table.

Fang Xu turned around and saw that Shen Ji's face was a little pale. He frowned and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you seasick?"

Shen Ji suddenly raised his head, stared at Fang Xu, and said warmly, "Is what Madam just said true?"

Fang Xu thought for a while, then recalled his words, nodded and said, "Of course."

Shen Ji felt that the tip of his heart was numb, and his tone was a bit harsh, "Then... the same is true for Tripterygium vine?"

"Except for the deadly poison, everything else is like this." Fang Xu was confused and asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly ask about this medicine?"

Shen Ji lowered his long eyelashes, spoke solemnly, and told everything about last night.

Fang Xu thought quickly and guessed what he was thinking. He lowered his voice and said, "Are you suspicious of your death?"

Shen Ji nodded, moved closer, and said warmly, "The imperial doctor only said that the emperor died of overwork, but I always feel that something is not right."

"The emperor is indeed diligent. If the situation is unstable, he will have to put in more effort. When he is busy, he often forgets to rest and eat. I can also often hear the imperial doctor giving him numerous instructions when taking his pulse, asking the emperor to combine work and rest. "

"But to the point of death... is too much. It's hard for people not to be suspicious."
