After the luncheon, Shen Bai was left behind by Shen Fei'er.

Back in the West Palace, Yu Wen'an came over with the toy he had sent earlier.

Picking up Yu Wen'an, the little guy sat on him and looked at him without any recognition.

"Do you know who I am?" Resisting the urge to kiss his chubby little face.

"uncle."

"Good boy." Touching his little face, the little guy twisted his body shyly, Shen Bai hugged him tightly, rubbed his waist lightly, in exchange for a childish laugh.

Shen Fei'er looked at the two with a peaceful smile, after a while the palace servants came to hug Yu Wen'an for an afternoon nap, before Shen Bai kissed him on the small face.

The little guy still felt reluctant when he left, maybe this is the blood relationship.

After Yu Wen'an was carried away, Shen Fei'er shunned the palace people.

"Today's matter was too careless, some people couldn't wait, but fortunately Lord Shen saw you." Shen Fei'er said too carelessly, she didn't know whether she was referring to Shen Bai or herself, but she was angry.

"The situation in the palace is like this, elder sister should be careful." Shen Bai persuaded.

"It's okay for me, I have the protection of the emperor." Shen Fei'er glanced at him: "It's you, be careful in everything."

"I know." Shen Bai nodded: "I will drag everyone except Quan Gonggong into the palace in the future."

"Okay, I will let the emperor look into this matter and see who is so bold."

Shen Bai didn't speak, since today under the rockery, Yu Wentuo made people stun the maid who led the way, this matter is probably controlled to the smallest extent.

There is nothing to check, the fire has been extinguished by Yu Wentuo.

At this moment, even if the emperor knows the answer, he still holds it in his hands, as an ironclad proof for his future punishment.

When he was leaving the palace, he was approaching the entrance of the palace. The sword Qianhu from the salt and iron transshipment department that he saw in the canal last time came in with a large number of imperial guards dressed in purple robes.

The guards with knives are very powerful, and the clothes they wear are also very dazzling.

The man also obviously saw Shen Bai, and smiled at Shen Bai, and Shen Bai smiled back.

Inside the palace gate, an eunuch was standing with a whisk in his hand and two young eunuchs, and they saw Shen Bailai and bowed: "Young Master Shen, these are the two volumes of piano scores rewarded by the emperor, and there is also a Nanpu Pearl.

Shen Bai knelt down to thank him, and Yuemei helped them receive the gift.

After leaving the palace gate, Xiao Yan and Che Jia waited on the side.

When helping Shen Bai to get into the car, Xiao Yan said: "Just now King Shen's car waited for you here for a while, and then left beforehand, leaving the location of his mansion."

Shen Bai didn't speak, he got in the car and returned home, Prince Huan of Shenjun helped him, and he really had to come to thank him someday, but the indifferent aura on Zihuan's body really made people think too much.

Back in the mansion, Xu Jin, Qin Yu and Jia Shiqing were all there.

"Let's discuss the matter of buying a boat. The paddy fields in Andong Village are sold together with the grain, and the harvest is starting now. We have to make preparations for transporting the grain." Jia Shiqing looked at the map drawn by Xu Jin on the table and said.

"It's not urgent, I'll tell you what happened today first." Shen Bai sat down, poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp without waiting for anyone to serve tea.

After telling the story of what happened in the palace, not to mention Jia Shiqing and Qin Yu, even Xu Jin frowned.

"Fourth brother, do you know who is behind the scenes?" Xu Jin asked worriedly.

Shen Bai thought about it, and finally shook his head and said: "I don't know, everyone is suspected. Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Jing, and even the seemingly harmless queen, the most unclear thing is the attitude of the emperor. He can follow the vine, but he seems to want to It’s like covering up something, how can you peek into the deep taboo of the harem!”

"It seems to be a very low-level method, but it is extremely vicious." Jia Shiqing folded his hands and analyzed: "The time when the show girls came is the same as the time when those guards bumped into you, even if you didn't push the show girls who fell into the water Yes, in order to reduce opponents, these beautiful women may not wrong you, once you are interrogated and quarrel, it will not do anything to you, but Concubine Shen is not good at helping you speak out for the sake of reputation.

Even if it proves that you were wronged, the Holy One will think that you are not smart enough to be used by others, and will treat you coldly in the future. "

"But those guards and the maid who led the way have already been arrested?" Qin Yu said in puzzlement, "Isn't this a clear way to get caught?"

"Everyone knows that there are many factions in the palace, so how can we guarantee that no good person will be wronged? No matter who is found out, my elder sister will definitely be incompatible with him. There is no strong natal family behind? At this time, moving anyone will cause instability in the previous dynasty." Shen Bai helped Jia Shiqing speak out.

Jia Shiqing nodded: "That's right, this is where the opponent seems to be full of loopholes, but his methods are extraordinary."

"Is it because of this that the emperor did not continue the investigation?" Xu Jin asked.

"It's not that they don't check, but that they don't check on the surface. I bet that even the concubine recruited by those few people may not be true. It's a matter of just buying off any person in the empress's palace and letting that person find them. It’s done. What if the mastermind behind the scenes is not for personal benefit, but to stir up the fire in the entire harem first?” Jia Shiqing is worthy of being the first one out of the family, and he sees this kind of thing very well.

"Then that means those show girls are all suspects?" Xu Jin thought of those show girls who appeared as witnesses.

"Yes or no." Shen Bai sighed: "They have just entered the palace, and they have to find someone in the palace so quickly, unless the family behind them is contributing. Before that, we didn't even know that the palace had selected a beautiful girl to enter the palace. , at least those participating in the 'Talented Women's Selection' don't know, otherwise, what's the fuss!"

"It's reasonable, these things seem to have no connection, but the emperor has a clear account in his heart." Jia Shiqing said.

"There are two things, I don't know whether they are good or bad." Shun Zi came to serve tea, Shen Bai opened the teacup, smelled the tea and said.

"whats the matter?"

"One is that Zihuan who came with Li Lu to the mansion is the King of Shenjun; second, that Qianhu who wears a sword in Luzhou entered the palace, and brought a large number of Imperial Guards wearing new military uniforms. It seems that the status is not low. "

"Zihuan? Qianhu?" Jia Shiqing didn't know anything about these two people, Xu Jin saw that Shen Bai was a little tired, so he helped explain it for him.

After hearing this, Jia Shiqing couldn't help feeling that Shen Bai's fate seemed to be inseparable from the fate of the royal family.

"The first thing is not a trivial matter." Jia Shiqing continued.

The other three looked at him.

"There are only two remaining princes in the imperial court, and they are both hereditary. One is Prince Yue, and his fief is Wujiang County near Suzhou Prefecture. The other is King Shenjun, and his fief is Xianyang near Jingzhao Mansion on Shanxi Road. "

"Why are there only two princes in the court?" Shen Bai didn't know anything about this.

"When the former emperor passed away, there was a lot of chaos for the throne. The concubine Xian gave her full support, and the current emperor ascended the throne. This is a secret. My grandfather was the commander of the Beijing North Camp at that time, and was responsible for controlling the six northern gates of Bianjing." Jia Shiqing said The other three were dumbfounded.

"Then why didn't Concubine Xian become the Empress Dowager now?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

Jia Shiqing shook his head: "She herself refuses, and up to now she has lived reclusively in Ziyang Palace, almost no one can ask her to see her, except the emperor."

"Even my elder sister never said this." Shen Bai thought about Shen Fei'er and said.

"Maybe I don't want you to know." Jia Shiqing persuaded.

"Why, it was cruel to snatch the throne at that time?"

"It's not cruel, but tragic. Nine kings, five dead and two crazy, and the remaining two are all safe because they are in the fief."

Shen Bai didn't speak, but he felt that the era he was living in was too cruel, maybe he was thinking too simply.
