The imperial concubine bows down to me

"I have seen the imperial concubine and empress." The two stayed away from Shen Zhi, although they were not noisy, they could speak louder.

Hearing this, Liu Shuyan waved her hand, and said softly: "There are no outsiders at the moment, so Du Bandu doesn't need to be too polite. It's getting late now, so it's probably because no one has noticed that Duandu came into the hall at this time?"

Liu Shuyan was expressionless while speaking, and Du Qinning didn't know if she was really asking her, or if she was thinking of reminding her.

After thinking for a while, she replied: "After I left the palace an hour ago, I told them that there was a woman sleeping in the palace according to the order of the empress, and there was no trace of the assassin. The team of imperial guards listened. Although I was a little skeptical, I finally withdrew and went to look for people elsewhere. I just sent more people around the Lizheng Hall, saying that it was to protect His Highness's safety, and I agreed. I have been patrolling outside the hall for a long time, and grasped them. Those who entered the palace after following the rules were not discovered."

"That's good, I've worked hard for Du Ban to read." Liu Shuyan nodded, affirming Du Qinning.

"It's just..." Du Qinning seemed to be hesitant, but after a pause, she finally expressed her confusion, "I feel that Eunuch Cao's reaction today is a bit strange. Too much reaction, but always with a sad face. When the minister said those words, Eunuch Cao was a little surprised at first, but then he seemed very happy, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. After seeing his gaze, he quickly suppressed his smile again."

"I think that although Eunuch Cao may be worried or happy about the assassin, but he has been with His Highness for so many years, he has always been a restrained and smart person, and I always feel that his reaction today is too much, a bit uncomfortable. It's very much in line with his usual way of doing things."

After hearing this, Liu Shuyan couldn't help being a little surprised.Cao Min has been with Shen Zhi for so many years, logically speaking, Shen Tianhe should be sure of those who are close to the crown prince, so how can he be unfavorable to Shen Zhi?

But Du Qinning has been with him for so many years, so she knows his nature very well, so what she said cannot be groundless.

Could it be that Cao Min is really related to this matter?

Forget it, whether he has betrayed Shen Zhi or not will be known in the future, and it is enough for Shen Zhi to be careful about him after today.But the most important thing now is to think about how to deal with the accident tonight.

"I know, I will investigate."

After talking about what happened outside the hall, Du Qinning actually wanted to know what happened just now.Just now she went out of the palace, except when she was doing business, she had been wondering what happened to Shen Zhi in her spare time.

But until now, she was still very worried about Shen Zhi.Not worried about her life, but seeing Liu Shuyan's slightly disheveled clothes and still flushed cheeks, she couldn't help thinking about something bad.

It's just that Du Qinning and Liu Shuyan are not familiar with each other, and she can't ask directly, so she can only insinuate: "Your Highness was drugged by that Xiliang woman...what kind of drug?"

"Well, the poison of the medicine has been cured now, and His Highness is asleep, so you don't have to worry about it as a companion." Since Du Qinning asked, Liu Shuyan has been raising her eyes to catch her expression, as if she wanted to confirm the one that had already arisen in her heart. guess.

Sure enough, upon hearing Liu Shuyan's words, Du Qinning's eyes widened, a little disappointed, but he clasped his fists at Liu Shuyan and said, "It's because I didn't protect His Highness enough. I have to thank the imperial concubine for helping me with this matter. I am very grateful."

"It's what I should do." I don't know if it's because she is far away from Shen Zhi and no longer smells the strange fragrance. At this time, the blush on Liu Shuyan's face has completely faded, showing the coldness of the day.

"I have the guts to ask, how does the concubine concubine want to deal with this matter?" Xu Shi felt that his statement was a bit inappropriate, and soon after he finished speaking, Du Qinning quickly added, "What I mean is, if the empress needs you in the near future Whatever you do, I will do my best."

"I already have a solution in my mind, but whether it works or not depends on the attitude of the woman from Xiliang who administered the medicine. If it doesn't work, I will think of another way, and the companion will find out the opportunity and ask His Highness to find out. "Speaking, Liu Shuyan turned around and glanced at the side of the bed to make sure that Xia Zi hadn't woken up yet, then turned around and said, "I will be here with Your Highness tonight, Your Highness will be exhausted tonight, tomorrow morning Maybe you have to get up later. Before His Highness leaves this hall, please read along and make sure no one else comes in, so as to avoid any unnecessary accidents."

"Chen..." Du Qinning seemed hesitant to speak, as if he still wanted to say something.But after being silent for a long while, she finally said, "Your Majesty has made a note, and Madam Lao will take care of His Highness tonight. If Madam has no other orders, I will leave first."

Hearing this, Liu Shuyan didn't want to stay, but just reminded softly: "Well, be careful."

Before leaving, Du Qinning glanced at the bed in an unclear manner, but said nothing. After confirming that it was safe outside, he went back to the place he came from.

When Shen Zhi woke up the next day, it was already an hour later than when she was supposed to get up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Shen Zhi saw Liu Shuyan lying beside her.She had already put on the night clothes she had when she came, but she still looked at Shen Zhi tenderly.

"Imperial concubine..." subconsciously called out, but remembering those dirty thoughts about Liu Shuyan last night, Shen Zhi didn't dare to look directly at her, and his face blushed quietly again.

Seeing this, Liu Shuyan stretched out her hand to touch Shen Zhi's forehead, and it didn't feel hot, so she was relieved.

"Your Highness, is there any discomfort?"

Shen Zhi shook his head: "Gu is much better today, probably his whole body is still a little sore and limp, other than that, there is nothing very uncomfortable. Just recalling what happened last night, I can't help but feel a little hard to say..."

"Last night...Last night I was so rude to the concubine alone. Please don't take offense." She wanted to say that if the concubine was unhappy, she could do anything to make up for it, but on second thought, Liu Shuyan was willing to save her last night, and she had nothing that Liu Shuyan could seek compensation for, and Liu Shuyan would not really ask her to make compensation, so Shen Zhi simply swallowed the words back.

Saying is worse than doing, she will use actions to thank Liu Shuyan.

"If Your Highness feels that what happened last night makes His Highness unhappy, then the concubine will forget all about it. From now on, none of us will mention what happened last night, just pretend it never happened." Liu Shuyan narrowed his eyes Squinting, said softly.

Liu Shuyan probably knew what she was thinking, so he didn't make it difficult for her, and even let her go down the steps, which made Shen Zhi feel a lot more fond of Liu Shuyan.Looking back at his own thoughts and actions, Shen Zhi suddenly felt that he was far behind Liu Shuyan.

But having said so much, Shen Zhi still didn't dare to look at Liu Shuyan, as if Liu Shuyan's eyes could see through all her little thoughts.

Just when she was about to nod her head in response to Liu Shuyan's words, she suddenly remembered something, and sat up from the warm bed, even a little panicked.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Liu Shuyan also sat up with her and asked.

The author has something to say: rounding, eh.
