Bronze Sparrow Spring Deep

It should be the season of peach blossoms, but there are no peach trees planted in the palace, so it's a pity that we can't enjoy a good view.

Besides, when Xu Huai became an official in the court, Shen Yan also met him once later, but he didn't see Shen Yanzhi, he still had that incomparable appearance, with his waist straighter than anyone else, and his head raised higher than anyone else , It's interesting to watch, but I don't know if the court can tolerate that seemingly upright temper.

"Young master! Young master! It's not good! Young master!"

Shen Yanzhi was having lunch when Yuan Bao started shouting from the yard, and then rushed in from the door, but failed to cross the threshold, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.The look was so funny that Shen Yanzhi almost spit, he took a sip of the tea from the maid's hand, and then stopped smiling and scolded him.

"What's the matter of panic, I don't understand the rules more and more!"

Yuan Bao got up from the ground, panting heavily, and was about to say something when he saw that there were other people in the room, so he drove them out angrily, and when they were all gone, he whispered in Shen Yanzhi's ear A few words.

After finishing speaking, Shen Yanzhi put down his chopsticks and couldn't help frowning, "Is it true? Didn't something go wrong?"

Yuan Bao said, "Doctor Xu said it himself, of course he took it seriously! He said that recently Yilan Palace often went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, and the person who served Yilan Palace happened to be his little apprentice, so he had the opportunity to take a sneak peek at it." , found out that it was an anti-fetal drug, and immediately reported it.”

Shen Yanzhi's frown became deeper and deeper, why did the pregnant one stay silent for a long time, and the least pregnant one came as soon as he said it?After thinking about it carefully, it is certain that the fetus is not stable, and Wen Zhaoyi was afraid of something wrong, so she kept it secret and did not report it. She wondered if the most dangerous time had passed, and then she would happily report to His Majesty and give birth to a royal heir...

This calculation was too good, but... it gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Let me tell you, Wen Zhaoyi is very lucky. I went to the Shang dormitory to inquire about it. The emperor went to her place once when he was drunk, but we have been helping the empress. Why is there no movement at all?" I don't see-"

"What's the use of talking about it now!" Shen Yanzhi scolded angrily, almost slapping the table and staring.

Yuan Bao was also in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "It is definitely not possible to stay. This matter is easy to say, and it is not that difficult to say. It's just that there is a lack of suitable candidates. We must do it before the news spreads."

Yuan Bao's words touched Shen Yanzhi's heart, indeed, the difficulty lies in finding someone to do it, someone who can do it while serving in Yilan Palace...

Shen Yanzhi stood up suddenly, went to the window and closed it tightly, then turned around and whispered, "There is an eunuch in Yilan Palace, his face was injured, and he wears a mask all the year round. Don't reveal the news, don't startle the snake."

Yuan Bao quickly took it, nodded, "Understood, my lord"

Shen Yanzhi sat in the house and waited anxiously for a whole day.I waited from daytime to dusk and waited until dark and did not see Yuan Bao come back. I secretly hated the queen for not being up to date. Although the medicine he gave the queen was aphrodisiac on the surface, it was also very beneficial for women to conceive. The emperor would go to her every tenth day In the palace, it has been two years, but there is no good news at all.

But even if the queen can't give birth to a prince, Shuyi's first child must not be Wen Zhaoyi's.

"My lord! My lord!" Yuan Bao's voice brought Shen Yanzhi back from his thoughts. He didn't even bother to drink his saliva, and hurriedly replied, "This is really a coincidence. I haven't reached the Yilan Palace yet, what the lord said The masked man jumped out suddenly, he probably knew me, he dragged me away, and asked if the young master entrusted me to find him."

"What?" Shen Yanzhi frowned, "And then?"

"Of course I didn't admit it, but he said that if the young master has something to ask, he will help him with all his strength."

Shen Yanzhi looked doubtful, and Yuan Bao immediately said, "He said his name was Guozi. He was more handsome than boys since he was a child. He was sold into the palace by his family and became an eunuch. Who knows that the longer he grows, the better he looks. Arranged to serve in Yilan Palace, Wen Zhaoyi saw that his face was too ostentatious, so he ruined that face. He took off the mask and showed me the scar on half of his face, which was scalded with something, it was extremely terrifying Yes. He also asked me to tell the young master about Wen Zhaoyi's pregnancy, and asked the young master to make up his mind."

Shen Yanzhi chuckled upon hearing this, "It's interesting..."

That fruit must have heard that Shen Yanzhi and Wen Zhaoyi had a quarrel over the pearl powder, so they knew that they were at odds. It is not difficult to know that Wen Zhaoyi is pregnant in Yilan Palace. If Wen Zhaoyi gave birth to an imperial heir, her position in the palace It's not the same, if the child is still a little prince, then the real danger will be Shen Yanzhi.

Maybe Guozi expected this, so she wanted to gamble with Shen Yanzhi.

"Go and check to see if he has any relatives in and out of the palace"

"I checked when I came here, and the family members outside the palace have not been in touch, but there seems to be a younger sister in the palace, who works in the Shangyi Bureau. I heard from the eunuchs who are familiar with the servants that the two don't meet often on weekdays, but there is. The exchange of gold and silver, eating and food, was met by them by chance."

Shen Yanzhi couldn't help but glanced at him, and said with a faint smile, "You're really astute for a while."

Yuan Bao laughed a few times, and was a little embarrassed when he was suddenly praised by the young master, "I have been with the young master for so long, so I have to improve a bit, and it's also thanks to the fact that I treat those bastards well on weekdays. better to inquire"

"The news is reliable?" Shen Yanzhi put away his smile, picked up the teacup casually, and asked in a cold voice.

"Absolutely reliable. I was afraid that they would be unreliable, so I followed him secretly. Who would have thought that he would happen to deliver something to the maid in the dark. I couldn't see what it was from a distance, but the relationship between the two must not be simple. It was also because I followed him that I came back late.”

Putting down the teacup in his hand, untied a money bag from his waist, and threw it to Yuan Bao, Shen Yanzhi said, "Go to him again, ask him if he has any relatives and friends, if he says no, give him this bag of money, Ruo Yan Lie or entrust that sister to you—"

"Servant understands"

Yuan Bao gave an evil laugh, and went out again with the silver bag.

No need for suspects, Wen Zhaoyi was pregnant, at a critical moment, when he was at a loss, he happened to show up to help, it was impossible for Shen Yanzhi not to suspect.If what he said is true, such a capital crime, one person dies without regrets, for fear of hurting his sister, he will definitely keep silent, and judging by his usual behavior, he knows that the relationship between him and his sister is not good enough for outsiders , so concealment is normal.

But if this matter is a trap, then he has to find a way to do enough tricks, either deliberately bring out the fabricated family members as a pawn in Shen Yanzhi's hands, or even that sister is also a pawn of his, just to get Shen Yanzhi's Trust just lured him into the trap.

As long as there is something strange, this person can't stay.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Bao came back without a silver bag in his hand.

Shen Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't sleep at night. Before this matter is settled, he might not be able to sleep well.

In fact, before making this decision, he had hesitated, and he couldn't remember when it was. He only vaguely remembered that it was the [-]th dawn of which year and month. At that time, my consciousness was still unclear, so I forced myself to get up and hugged me, and said to myself with a mournful face, "The queen is still not pregnant. It has been five years since I ascended the throne, and there is still no movement..."

Shu Yi doesn't like female sex, but according to the ancestral system, he goes to the Queen's Palace every month.

Shen Yanzhi knew that more than anyone else, he wished to have a child.

Although Shuyi knew better than him that the prince's biological mother must be a queen in the future, if she knew that Wen Zhaoyi was pregnant and then passed away inexplicably, perhaps it would be more disappointment than anger.

Four days later, Yilan Palace suddenly exploded.

When Shen Yanzhi arrived, he saw Shuyi's sedan chair parked outside the palace, he didn't dare to step in, and he didn't dare to face Shuyi's expression, so he could only park the sedan chair not far away, and asked Yuan Bao to find out what was going on inside. That's it.

I heard that Wen Zhaoyi's accident happened after drinking a bowl of purslane porridge. The imperial doctors from the imperial hospital hurried over and were discussing countermeasures inside, but the child probably couldn't be kept. Purslane would have caused tire slippage, Wen Zhaoyi He drank another big bowl full, and even if the imperial doctors rejuvenated like Hua Tuo, it would be very difficult to save the child.

After inquiring again, I found out that Wen Zhaoyi used to drink that before entering the palace, but I have never seen that thing in the palace. Maybe the imperial chef wanted to please Wen Zhaoyi, so he hurriedly made it and sent it. I didn't expect to do it with good intentions. What a bad thing, but he was killed.

Shen Yanzhi saw Guozi standing at the gate of the palace, at this moment he also looked at himself, and smiled at himself, making his hair stand on end.

What a clever plan, except for the imperial doctor, Wen Zhaoyi and her closest people, no one in the whole court knew about her pregnancy.

Stretching out his hand, he took a purse from Yuan Bao, exuding a faint fragrance of flowers. Although the texture and embroidery were not top-grade, Shen Yanzhi believed that even if they were several meters away, the owner of the purse would definitely be recognized by the fruit.

Sure enough, Guozi's complexion changed, she knelt down on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed deeply to Shen Yanzhi, how could he not recognize that the personal items his sister wears every day, no one is better than him Clear.

Yuan Bao had already inquired clearly. It turned out that Guozi's younger sister had just passed the age of 25 this year. In ordinary people's homes, she was about to get married. She just stepped into the palace. At that time, it is common to be given to guards casually.Besides, Guozi's younger sister was spotted by the old eunuch of the Shangyi Bureau, and she was about to snatch her to make counter food. Presumably Guozi had no choice but to make such a bad plan, and exchanged her life for her sister's safety.

Shen Yanzhi looked at Guo Guo again, he was very familiar with those helpless and longing eyes, he had something to trust, something to ask, and obsession, even if he sacrificed his life, he wanted to protect one person.

At first he thought he was just resenting Wen Zhaoyi, but it wasn't until Yuan Bao inquired about his sister that Shen Yanzhi realized that Guozi deliberately exposed him and his sister under Yuan Bao's nose, and showed Shen Yanzhi the most vulnerable side of himself, so that Shen Yan could be imprisoned. Firmly grasping his grip, she entrusted Shen Yanzhi with her sister's fate and her own life.

Although Shen Yanzhi felt that this method was stupid, it was the last hope for Guozi.

Nodding lightly, he accepted his entrustment.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in Yilan Palace, and then the royal cook was pulled out by several guards, screaming for mercy, dragged farther and farther by the guards, and gradually disappeared into the night, presumably, he could not escape death.

Shen Yanzhi didn't know what Shu Yi's expression was like at this moment, his rationality told him that he should not move forward and should go back, but his legs couldn't move forward no matter what.

Not long after, Shu Yi came out from the palace, just as Ning Qingru heard the news and rushed here.

Although Shen Yanzhi stood far away, he could really see how Shuyi staggered, how he raised his head to look at Ning Qingru, and how he opened his arms to hug him in the cold night.

Like a lost child who finds a home.

Shen Yanzhi seemed to see Shuyi opening his mouth to say something, but he couldn't hear clearly, he only knew that he was always an outsider, and the disappointment and sadness he didn't want to see Shuyi was brought to him by himself.

There is really nothing to complain about his current or future fate.

Shu Yi hugged Ning Qingru, tightened his arms, and buried his head in his embrace, regardless of the gazes of the palace people around him, and Ning Qingru was speechless in surprise.

He said, "My child...is gone..."

The author has something to say: liking is also a burden, a sin, even if you add a sentence "for your own good", it can't reduce the harm to a person

Shen Yanzhi (grievance): Actually, I don't want to be like this...

Me (touching head): I know...

Shen Yanzhi (more aggrieved, shed tears): I really don't want this...

Me (touching head again): Don’t cry, don’t cry, everyone will understand you, and so is Shuyi...
