Snowing.

It was dusk and the lights were lit in the courtyard. Xie Ci leaned on the porch and stared at the sky for a while.

Xie Ci was born and grew up in the south, and he studied and worked in the south. Because he was an orphan when he was young, he was busy working and earning money when he grew up. He has never traveled far. It was only after he came to this world that he first This is the first time I saw snow in the north.Although this world is no longer the world he lived in, the north where he is is not the original north either.

"Tianshu, what day is today?"

"Twenty-five, sir."

There are still ten days before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven on the fifth day of the winter month.

The winter solstice sacrifice ceremony is the first important celebration since Huaiyu ascended the throne, and it is also the first time she officially appeared in front of thousands of people. This must be an important node in the progress bar. No matter what, Huaiyu must be guaranteed There was no room for error in the ceremony.Xie Ci began to urge Huaiyu to familiarize himself with the ceremony process early on, but for some reason, he always felt that things would never go as smoothly as he imagined, just like the well-behaved princess Huaijin turned into Huaiyu...

The snow was falling more and more heavily, Xie Ci felt a little cold, and was about to go back to the house, but saw someone hurriedly walking over in the corridor led by a servant, and when he got closer, he found that it was the servant of the palace.

Xie Ci's heart sank suddenly.

The servant almost jumped in front of him, and knelt down tremblingly, "I have seen Mr. Xiangguo!"

Xie Ci asked Tianshu to help him up, and asked, "What's the matter here, father-in-law?"

The little servant was not very old, his face was about to burst into tears, and he hurriedly said: "Master Xiangguo, Your Majesty, Your Majesty felt sick after lunch today, and the imperial doctor looked at it to see that there was nothing wrong, but , But just before the slaves leave the palace, His Majesty has already passed out!"

Without further ado, Xie Ci followed the servant into the palace, and when he arrived at Weiyang Palace, Huaiyu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face pale, and he was still unconscious.

The atmosphere in the entire inner hall was terribly gloomy, Xie Ci looked around at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, and ordered the trembling imperial physician, "Say it."

The imperial doctor was almost scared to pee. He was only the second-in-command of the chief imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, but the chief lost his head during the death of the Empress Dowager Yuanqing last time, so he was pushed up. Unexpectedly, his buttocks were not hot yet. , Seeing that he is about to follow in the footsteps of his former leader.The words rolled in his mind three times, and he held his breath and said: "My lord, I, my servant, I think His Majesty's illness is like a tiger and wolf, and, and, that, and..."

"Say!"

The imperial doctor was frightened half to death, all the breath he held was gone, he hurriedly poured beans out of the bamboo tube and said: "Your Majesty's illness is quite similar to that of the Yuanqing Empress Dowager, I dare not take medicine lightly! "

Xie Ci's heart suddenly turned cold.

[System, shouldn't the objectives of the two missions be like this?Then how can I complete this task? 】

[Host rest assured, no. 】

The heart he was gripping was only half let go, but he frowned again, 【Both of them have similar symptoms, are they poisoned?Could it be that besides me, ah bah, other than Wei Lang, does anyone else want them to die? 】

[Drip, beyond the system authority, unable to answer. 】

...what do you want.

Xie Ci turned his gaze back to Huai Yu, and said in a low voice with a frosty face: "This matter should be thoroughly investigated."

Storm is coming.

Xie Ci leaned on the soft couch in the side hall, closed his eyes and meditated.

He blocked the news for the time being, and only let people conduct a thorough investigation in the palace, but at the latest tomorrow morning, all the important officials will definitely know the news of the emperor's illness, and then he will become the target of public criticism again.The cause of death of the first emperor and the Yuan Qing empress dowager has not been found out yet, and the new emperor is in a coma for no apparent reason. He is almost in disbelief when he says that it wasn't Wei Lang who did it.

But if you think about it carefully, you will know that Huaiyu is a perfect puppet. At least before she can take charge of the government, Wei Lang has no reason to kill her. Instead, he will only leave more ground for himself, so apart from him, Who else wants to kill Huaiyu?

A name popped up in Xie Ci's mind almost immediately, Chu Wang Shen Rongyan.The royal family was thin, and the first emperor had only his younger brother. If Huaiyu died, he would be the legitimate heir to the throne.

No, a person who was pinned down by Wei Lang because of his mother would kill his own niece?Isn't he afraid that Wei Lang will kill Concubine Wu?

Maybe he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger before, waiting for this day?

No, no, he doesn't even have the capital to overthrow Wei Lang even if he is a idle king, not to mention if he had been forbearing before, then the price he paid would be too high...

[System, can you give me some hints about the murderer? 】

[Drip, beyond the system authority, unable to answer. 】

Okay, okay, he got it.

Just as Xie Ci was thinking hard, soft footsteps suddenly sounded in his ears.

Xie Ci's expression froze, he had clearly said before that no one is allowed to enter the side hall to disturb, who is so bold?

"Who?"

The footsteps stopped, and then a person came out from behind the layered gold silk curtains.Tall and tall, with white fox fur and gold silk crown, who is it but Shen Rongyan?

Xie Ci wasn't sure what the meaning of his presence here was, so he didn't move, and only asked indifferently, "Is there something wrong with His Royal Highness King Chu?"

Shen Rongyan didn't speak, he walked up to Xie Ci, Xie Ci looked away uncomfortably, but from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Shen Rongyan unbuttoning the white fox fur with shaking fingers.

The soft and precious fox fur fell on the thick Persian blanket with a plop.

Xie Ci was taken aback, seeing Shen Rongyan unbuttoning his belt and taking off his coat again, as if he was going to take off all his clothes, he quickly said, "What are you doing!"

Shen Rongyan Yubai's fingers trembled and stopped.

[System system, what the hell is scaring me to death, what is Shen Rongyan doing? 】

[Wei Lang threatens Concubine Wu's life, and will have a [beep——] relationship with Shen Rongyan once or twice a month...]

【ok, ok, I got it! 】

Xie Ci remembered, since that embarrassing first meeting, he didn't even dare to look at Shen Rongyan, let alone have sex with him, he is a straight straight man!

Xie Ci had no choice but to say to him in a cold voice: "Put on your clothes."

Shen Rongyan stood still with his head down.

The thank you speech was kind of on fire, what a lord, why is he chirping like a girl, and the voice became louder, "I tell you to put on your clothes!"

Shen Rongyan raised his head abruptly, stared at him fiercely, with red eyes, and sneered, "Why, isn't that what you want, Wei Lang! Don't you just want to see me without dignity to beg you? Isn't that enough? Do you want me to kneel down?"

Fuck it, my lord, this misunderstanding is big!

Shen Rongyan's eyes were filled with hatred, and that hatred sent a chill down Xie Ci's spine.He gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "Master Xiangguo, how can you let my concubine mother and Yu'er go?"

"Jin Zhi..." Xie Ci looked at the redness in the corner of his eyes, sighed, and said, "Put on your clothes first."

Shen Rongyan still didn't move, so Xie Ci had no choice but to stand up, pick up the white fox fur and put it on for him.He trembled all over, but resisted not moving.

Seeing his appearance, Xie Ci thought to himself: 【Wei Lang is such a big scumbag. 】

[Drip, the host is right. 】

【…】Although I know that I am not talking about myself, why does it sound so awkward.

Xie Ci took a few steps back with his hands behind his back, and said, "Believe it or not, I never did anything to Ajin and Yu'er." Of course, the late Emperor's chronic illness was indeed related to the original owner.

Shen Rongyan obviously didn't believe it.

Xie Ci sighed again, and said, "You may be required to take the place of the ceremony in ten days' time. If Your Highness is free, you should go back and familiarize yourself with the regulations of the ceremony."

After speaking, he didn't dare to look at Shen Rongyan, he lifted his foot and left the side hall.

Alas, slipped away.

In the early morning of the second day, Huaiyu did not go to court, and all civil and military officials had obviously learned of the news of the emperor's illness and coma through various channels. When petty disputes arose, the flames of war broke out completely.

Xie Ci didn't sleep well all night, and he wasn't in a good mood at first, but hearing the noise below, his temples were about to explode.

In the morning of the third day, Huaiyu still did not wake up, and the officials were not in the mood to quarrel. They thought that the Empress Dowager Yuanqing also died suddenly after being in a coma for two days. , I'm afraid it's really going to change.

Both Xie Ci and the King of Chu have become suspects of murdering the royal family, but more people think in their hearts: they never thought that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would inherit the throne one day.

At noon on the third day, Huaiyu woke up.

At that time Xie Ci was staying in the side hall, although he knew that Huai Yu would be fine, but seeing it with his own eyes, he was still relieved.

The thin little girl was lying on the bed. Although her face was pale, she looked in good spirits.

Xie Ci walked over, Huai Yu stretched out his hand to hold his fingers, and called him softly: "Uncle."

Xie Ci's heart softened suddenly.He thought of his "sister" in the orphanage when he was a child, she was two years younger than him, she always pulled a little bit of his clothes, looked at him with big eyes like black grapes, and whispered "Brother, brother" non-stop.It's a pity that the little girl was adopted later, and they never met again.

So he half knelt down, reached out his hands to hold Huai Yu's little hand, and said in a low voice, "Uncle is here."

Huai Yu flinched, as if she was a little surprised to see her usually serious and indifferent uncle being so tender for the first time, but tears soon appeared in her eyes, and her cheeks rubbed against Xie Ci's hand like a cat. She rubbed her hands and said, "Yu'er thought she would never see her uncle again."

"Don't talk nonsense," Xie Ci patted her hand lightly and asked, "Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Huai Yu shook his head and said, "Not anymore."

"Then Yu'er told uncle, why did he suddenly faint?"

Huaiyu glanced sideways and said vaguely, "I...I don't know either."

This is to cover up knowing who the prisoner is.

Xie Ci's face darkened, he stood up and looked at the kneeling people, and said: "Check, starting from these palace people, check one by one, and those who refuse to speak will be sent to the Department of Punishment."

There was a sound of pleading for forgiveness in an instant, Huaiyu was frightened, and hurriedly pulled up Xie Ci's sleeves, begging: "Uncle, uncle, it's not their fault, don't punish them! These palace people are from childhood Those who grew up with me, please let them go! Uncle, please! Uncle..."

The little girl burst into tears as she spoke.

Xie Ci ignored those people's screams, held Huai Yu's hand, and looked down at her, "Your Majesty, you are an emperor, and you are no longer the princess who was raised in a deep boudoir."

Huai Yu looked up at him blankly, tears could not be contained in her big eyes, huge teardrops slid down her cheeks, but she didn't speak any more.

【Ding--】

6.5%

[Hey, it's a little too high this time? 】

[Congratulations to the host, slap, slap, slap. 】

He found out, this little girl seems to need to frighten the progress bar to climb up?

Almost none of the people in the palace could withstand the severe punishment from the Department of Punishment. In the end, the twins' wet nurse confessed to all the crimes, saying that she had poisoned Huaijin by herself, and she poisoned Huaiyu in the same way. But this time the weight was not enough, Huaiyu was rescued.

However, before she could ask the reason why she killed the emperor's heir and how she obtained such strange poisons and medicines, the wet nurse bit her tongue and committed suicide.

There are loopholes everywhere, Xie Ci knows, this matter is not over yet.

The murderer behind the scenes is still hidden in the mist, and most people, whether they are courtiers or ordinary people, undoubtedly think that the treacherous official Wei Lang is the real culprit.
