After finishing speaking, Shen Xi turned around and walked out of the hall.He just left the palace like this, completely indifferent to the consequences of such a move.It takes time to investigate the case, and he is willing to give it.But if it exceeds the time limit set in his mind, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Of course he wouldn't just wait for the results.Shen Xi planned to investigate the clues he got from the prisoner, but he could always find something.

After the dynasty was over, Jing Zhaoyin and Master Hu followed Zheng Xi into Mingtong Hall tremblingly.Zheng Xi sat on the upper seat and held up the teacup.Yue Nian ordered everyone to retreat, and she also retreated to the gate to guard.Sipping tea, Zheng Xi looked up at Master Hu: "You really don't know?"

"I was wronged." Master Hu hurriedly knelt down and explained, "I really don't know about it. You can learn from your loyalty to the Weng Lord."

"You made such a big mistake this time, it's useless to say anything nice." Putting down the teacup, Zheng Xi frowned slightly, "Shen Bufan is now angry because his husband almost died, and he will definitely bite you to death. You have no reason to cry What's the use? It is the best policy to find out the matter quickly. It is the court's dereliction of duty and your dereliction of duty that such a big case happened. You are limited to three days to find out the truth."

"Three days?" Master Hu raised his head tremblingly, "My lord, three days is too short. Please give me more time."

"How long is the grace period?" Zheng Xi said in a rare cold tone, "Didn't you see that Shen Bufan is going to eat people today? I protect you today because of your loyalty in the past. If you don't If you don't do practical things, don't blame me for disregarding the past friendship."

Lord Hu quickly nodded in response, he himself knew that three days was already a grace period.For Shen Bufan to say, it must have been three days.

"Go down." Zheng Xi waved his hand.Mr. Hu got up, saluted and retreated. For him now, time is life.

After the person left, Yue Nian entered the hall to serve him and said, "Master Hu, was Master Hu so timid in the past?"

Zheng Xi pondered for a moment, then got up and walked out: "This matter is strange, and I have no idea. But it is certain that someone is behind the scenes."

Yue Nian hurriedly followed Zheng Xi, and the two headed to the palace where the Supreme Emperor lived.After Mammy reported, Zheng Xi and the two walked into the hall.

At this time, the Supreme Emperor was resting on the couch, seeing Zheng Xi coming, he was helped up by his mother.Zheng Xi saluted with a smile: "Ah Xi has met Grandpa."

The Taishanghuang is now 73, with silver hair and wrinkles on his face, but he still looks energetic.It's just that the energy is poor, and sleeping takes up most of the time every day.The Supreme Emperor kindly waved at Zheng Xi: "Come and let Grandpa see if Ah Xi has lost weight."

Zheng Xi walked up to the Supreme Emperor with a smile and sat down: "How is Grandpa? Are you sick?"

"Grandpa is fine, he doesn't have any illnesses." The Supreme Emperor patted Zheng Xi's hand and said with a smile, "It's Ah Xi who looks worried."

Embarrassedly bowing his head and smiling, Zheng Xi sighed and said, "Ah Xi is not capable enough. I can only ask Grandpa for advice."

"I heard about what happened yesterday." The Supreme Emperor stayed on the bed and put on his shoes.Mammy hurriedly brought clothes for the Supreme Emperor to put on.

"Ah Xi, walk around with Grandpa." The Supreme Emperor took Zheng Xi's hand and went out, taking a slow walk outside the hall.

Zheng Xi half-supported the Supreme Emperor and asked: "Since Grandpa already knows what happened yesterday, what can you see?"

"You people in the game can't see it, so what can Grandpa know?" The Supreme Emperor smiled, "It's Shen Bufan, who is very different from before when he comes back, and it's very dangerous. No one in military power can Checking and balancing the Shen family is not a good sign."

"Although father intends to touch the Shen family, he has never found a chance." Zheng Xi lowered his eyes, "I believe father will wait for a good time."

"Stupid Ah Xi, opportunities don't come by waiting. They are created." The Supreme Emperor patted Zheng Xi's hand meaningfully, "According to my grandfather, the Shen family cannot be touched during your father's reign. Since you can't move , Either try to show favor, or use other forces to check and balance. The current situation is that your father has failed to do both. He is not strong enough to use strong methods, so he has fallen behind."

When Zheng Xi thought about it, this was indeed the case, no matter whether it was civil servants or generals in the court, no one in the court could compete with the Shen family in power.The emperor father has been in power for 21 years, and the power of the Shen family is growing day by day.Shen Xiong didn't want to rebel, that's why the court has the current balance.The balance will always be broken. Since Shen Bufan came back, the Shen family seems to have regained a new life from the old way.If not stopped...

In the past, Shen Xiong would never send troops without asking for instructions, but now he dares.It was Shen Xiong who listened to Shen Bufan when he talked to his father afterwards...

"Grandpa, what should we do then?" Zheng Xi humbly asked for advice, but he couldn't think of a way to suppress the Shen family.

"Do you know? Prosperity and decline." The Supreme Emperor smiled lightly, "The more prosperous, the faster the decline. Now the situation in the court and the middle can't move the Shen family, they have to stabilize them. As for what happened yesterday, but some people have little vision , do not understand the consequences of angering Shen Bufan."

"The consequences of angering him?" Zheng Xi said helplessly, "Grandpa, you don't know who will be caught and bitten by Shen Bufan this morning."

"It's just the surface, you have to see the essence through the surface." The Supreme Emperor patted Zheng Xi's hand, "Didn't you find that Shen Bufan had the biggest change after he came back? He lost the respect for imperial power in his heart. He , don’t care who sits on the throne.”

Because he doesn't care, even overthrow is only a matter of thought... Zheng Xi stopped in shock: "Grandpa, he..."

"Grandpa doesn't know what happened to Shen Bufan. But Grandpa has come to a conclusion based on what he has done since he came back. Don't make him angry." The Supreme Emperor patted Zheng Xi's head kindly, "He wants to The truth will give him the truth, even if it is false. Stabilizing the current Shen Bufan is to stabilize the Shen family, if not, the army will overwhelm the city. Therefore, Ah Xi, when it is time to give up, let him go."

She...Zheng Xi understood what the Supreme Emperor meant: "Grandpa, would he do that? He..."

"Remember, the Shen family is loyal to the country, not the person on the throne. And Shen Bufan is only loyal to himself. He has a reverse scale, and he must never be touched." The Supreme Emperor supported Zheng Xi's back and silently comforted him, "If you investigate After seeing what Shen Bufan has done in Sihai County, you will know that grandpa is not an alarmist. He has the power to gather people's hearts, he has the talent to create a prosperous world, and he has the courage to speak up and do things. Ah Xi, he is still in the growth stage , He has no idea of ​​fighting for power yet. So don't think about suppressing him, suppressing will only cause counterproductive results."

After finishing speaking, the Supreme Emperor patted Zheng Xi's shoulder again, turned around and returned to the palace.If he is still on the throne, Shen Bufan will not be allowed to stay in the court after the Prince Xi incident.Shen Bufan's biggest weakness is that he has no desire to fight for power, as long as he lets go, he can abolish the waves that Shen Bufan caused in the court.However, he is not on the throne, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of these things, so let the juniors do it.

It's nothing to wash Baiyun Temple with blood, so what about throwing away Jing Zhaoyin?As long as Shen Bufan can be stabilized, let's give up.

Zheng Xi stood where he was, awakened by the Supreme Emperor's words.As their brothers vie for power, perhaps one of their greatest rivals is growing rapidly.He has to find a way to stabilize Shen Bufan, even if he uses shady means, even if he sacrifices himself...

Making up his mind, Zheng Xi immediately went back to Mingtong Hall to make arrangements.Shen Bufan wanted the truth, so he gave it...

At noon, Shen Xi went home to have lunch with Qiao Ke.Qiao Ke picked vegetables for Shen Xi and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

"The weapons used by the prisoner were handed over to the second uncle to check." Shen Xie ate, "The clothes, shoes and other materials are also checked by the third uncle. I just went to Baiyun Temple with my father and found that the prisoner went to The route of Baiyun Temple. My father took people along the road to find a den of thieves, and I was hungry, so I came back to accompany you to eat. Don’t just pick me up, you should also eat more.”

"I can't eat very much." Qiao Ke smiled, "The sickness is a bit serious, and it will be fine after a while."

"This situation is exactly the same as when Huaiyou was a child." Shen Xie joked, "Maybe there is another naughty bag in my stomach."

"Who knows." Qiao Ke smiled and stroked his stomach.He loves both boys and girls, but the husband wants girls...

"Don't think about it." Shen Hao put down the bowl and took Qiao Ke's hand, "Everything is our child."

"Yeah." Seeing that there wasn't much rice left in the bowl, Qiao Ke advised, "You've been so busy recently, eat more."

Shen Hao shook his head: "I don't want to eat anymore, I'll have to hold on if I eat any more. By the way, did Fengze find anything?"

Qiao Ke nodded and told Shen Xi that in just one day, Fengze had already found out all eighteen generations of Jing Zhaoyin's ancestors.After hearing this, Shen Xi fell into deep thought, and then chatted with Qiao Ke about family matters.Qiao Ke could feel the sudden change of Shen Xi's emotions, and seemed to have reached a conclusion.

After the morning court the next day, a eunuch whom he had never seen before invited Shen Xi to the harem, and the Supreme Emperor invited him.Shen Xi had never met the Supreme Emperor, he always thought that the Supreme Emperor didn't care about anything, but he didn't expect to see him today.Shen Xi walked into the hall and saluted the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor sat on the couch, smiled kindly and said, "Bufan, it's been a long time since you came to see me."

Hearing the Supreme Emperor's self-proclaimed name, Shen Xi remembered that Qiao Ke said that because of the emperor's filial piety, the Supreme Emperor was allowed to call himself "Zhen".Shen Xi just wanted to finish the job quickly and leave: "I'm busy with business, and I don't have time to visit the Supreme Emperor. Don't blame the Supreme Emperor."

Patting the seat next to him, the Supreme Emperor smiled: "Bufan, come and sit down. Let me take a good look at you."

Shen Hao couldn't refuse the words of an old man who hadn't seen his relatives for a long time, but he also didn't want to get too close to strangers.Shen Xi walked up to the Supreme Emperor and stood there: "I don't dare to cross the line, so I just stand here. I don't know what the Supreme Emperor is calling the minister for?"

"It's nothing, I just want to catch up with you." The nanny brought hot soup, and the emperor took a few sips and put it down, "I watched you and Ah Xi grow up. You two often came to my bedroom when you were young Play, you call me Grandpa like Ah Xi. Why do you go out for a trip, and you have such a relationship with me after you come back. I heard that you are married, and the child is one year old. Find a time to bring it into the palace to show me."

Reminisce?Isn't it just interceding for Lord Liu in disguise?Shen Xi bowed his hands and saluted: "The Supreme Emperor has an order, and I dare not disobey."

"You are here again." The Supreme Emperor was helpless, "I see you are very uncomfortable here. Forget it, let's go."

Suspiciously glanced at the Supreme Emperor, bowed deeply and retreated resolutely.When a person leaves and says he can leave, why does he still keep it?

Seeing Shen Xi leave, Mammy was puzzled: "Didn't the Supreme Emperor want to help Lord Liu Weng? Why did he just leave like this?"

The Supreme Emperor shook his head and sighed: "It's too late. He already has ambition in his eyes." He couldn't stop it anymore.

Mammy didn't quite understand what the Supreme Emperor said, but she stopped asking.If you ask too many questions, it seems that she is talkative and not smart enough.
