"Li Zhuangyuan is well-informed." After thinking about it, Chen Shu laughed.

Li Yezhi was coaxed, and his mood was a little delicate, but there was still a look of complacency between his brows, and he said repeatedly: "Where is it, I just learned some heresy."

Chen Shu smiled, and talked with Li Yezhi for a few more words, and the content of the conversation was consistent with the pattern in the palace.Li Yezhi was a native of Pang Xue. Hearing Chen Shu's interest at this time, he immediately narrated to Lin Chenshu with great interest, from the layout of the palace to the royal geomantic omen, he talked endlessly.

Chen Shu smiled and said a few good words to Li Yezhi.

Li Zhuangyuan was overwhelmed by the praise. He didn't expect that Lin Chenshu, whose reputation was extremely bad in the school, didn't seem to be as bad as he imagined. Upright, with a gentle smile, he is a good conversation partner.

No wonder Qi Kang has his eyes on him.Li Yezhi thought to himself.

Walking outside the mansion, Li Yezhi was still interested in talking with Lin Chenshu, and seeing that he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a little reluctant.

"Mr. Lin." When he got to the carriage, he reluctantly let go, looked at the person standing like a jade with a faint smile in front of him, and sighed, "People in the world have prejudices against others. I don't think you should pay too much attention to those people rumor."

"..."

Chen Shu paused, and quickly replied with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your guidance."

Li Yezhi waved his hands when he heard the words, but he felt comfortable in his heart.

He smiled and said goodbye, and then let the servant drive the carriage away.

Uncle Liu, who followed Lin Chenshu, was stunned.He had clearly seen that when Li Yezhi had just arrived at the back door of the Qi Mansion, he had a estrangement with his young master, why did the newly promoted No.

"Young master, this number one scholar seems to treat you well." Uncle Liu said admiringly from the side.

"..." Chen Shu rubbed the arm that Qi Kang held just now.

Uncle Liu stood there smiling and said, "Eldest young master will become an official in the court in the future, and having one more friend means one more connection. The champion has a bright future, so it's very good for the young master to be on good terms with him."

Glancing at Uncle Liu, Chen Shu returned to the carriage silently.

Seeing the young master complete the task, Uncle Liu was in a good mood and drove the carriage happily.Chen Shu fell asleep in the carriage for a while, and then returned to the Lin family.

Lin Heming was very concerned about Lin Chenshu's affairs, and when he saw Lin Chenshu returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned him to inquire.Chen Shu dealt with a few questions casually, but Uncle Liu added some more, and Lin Heming spoke in a pleasant manner.

He looked at his eldest son, at this time Lin Chenshu was dressed in brocade, he finally looked like a wealthy young man, he nodded in satisfaction and let Lin Chenshu leave.

After leaving the front hall of Lin's house, Chen Shu had lunch in the dining room, and then went back to his room again.In the room, he closed the window, took a pen and paper, and wrote on the desk for a while, then gently dried the ink, folded it carefully, put it in the lapel, took off the hair crown, took off the outer shirt, and closed the book. Close your eyes and rest under the quilt.

This sleep lasted until midnight before Chen Shu woke up.He looked at the burning oil lamp in the room for a while, then gathered his consciousness, got up from the bed again, took out the black clothes he wore last night, put them on again, and tied his belt.

Then, he tied up his loose hair with strips of black cloth, and wrapped a black cloth around his face, exposing only two eyes under his forehead.

In the eyes, the candlelight kept beating.

Chen Shu fastened the wooden knife, leaned over and blew out the oil lamp, closed the door and left the room, flew out of Lin's mansion, passed through the gates of the market, and ran to a river, and then stopped slowly.

The river is more than ten feet wide, and the water surface is quiet and unfathomable under the moonlight.On the other side of the river, a majestic red wall stood facing the river, with sporadic lights flickering on it.

The river is the moat, past the wall on the opposite side, it should be the palace.

Chen Shu's eyes sank slightly, his figure swayed abruptly, and he leaped onto the water in the next breath, with a few steps up and down, leaving only a few ripples on the water surface, and the person was already hanging cleanly under the wall.

There are palace guards walking over the wall.

Chen Shu listened for a while in the dark by the wall, and when the guard's footsteps were far away, he jumped out of the shadow and jumped over the wall.His swift figure was only slightly shaken by the flame core of the torch on the wall, and the figure had already disappeared into the darkness of the palace again.

The inside of the palace was quiet, and it was covered in night like the outside of the palace.

Chen Shu climbed in from the east wall of the palace, and went west quickly, avoiding the palace guards all the way. After a while, he saw a wide palace gate. His eyes lighted up slightly, so he walked north along the way. After a long time, he finally saw a room The mansion, with red walls and golden tiles, stands under a towering giant tree. The door plaque is inlaid with gold, and the words "Yushufang" are written on it.

The imperial study room is the place where the emperor handles political affairs every day. At this time, the lights are on in the room, but there are no people in sight. Only two court ladies are guarding the door with tired faces.

Chen Shu bypassed the door and window next to the imperial study, and gently opened a gap.

There was no one inside, only a pile of memorials stacked on the table.

Chen Shu smiled slightly, walked into the imperial study, and took out the letter paper that he had prepared before. He took a look at the table case, then lifted the memorial in the middle of the table case, and pressed the letter paper neatly under the memorial.

"Do you think the emperor will come back later?" There was a chatter from the maid guarding the door.

"Who knows, the emperor has been falling asleep late these days, just wait." Another court lady replied.

Another court lady murmured again.

Chen Shu didn't make a sound, returned to the window, and carefully turned out the imperial study.

The letter left in the Imperial Study Room has something to remind the emperor. As long as the current emperor picks up the letter, he must be able to detect it.

Chen Shu let out a breath, and saw guards patrolling here from the corner of his eyes, so he turned over and left.

Outside the wall of the imperial study is a garden, in which there are tall and handsome trees, and scattered flowers, hiding the fragrance; this place is quieter than outside the wall, and there are no palace guards patrolling, Chen Shu sneaked along the pavilion road for a while, Then I saw a pool of water came into view, the moon was reflected in the water, sparkling and generating waves, holding a quiet side, giving birth to a bit of tranquility.

In the water of the pool, there are bluestones piled up into water steps, winding all the way to the poolside, connecting with the pavilion where Chen Shu is.

Chen Shu's footsteps paused slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the poolside.

At this time, a man was sitting by the pool.

It was the silhouette of a black gown with dark patterns.The man's hair was tied up neatly, and the silver-white hair crown was lifted, revealing a concentrated side face under the hair, with eyebrows flying into the hair, and shimmering eye marks, as clear and cold as the water in a pool.He sat quietly, his brows and eyes drooping slightly, and his eyes fell on the long sword in his hand.

The long sword was out of the sheath, and the moonlight and water light were reflected on the sword body, reflecting a coldness, but the man didn't care, holding the sword in one hand, and took a white silk scarf in the other, and slowly wiped it.

In the middle of the night, there are still people in the royal back garden who have such leisure time.

Chen Shu couldn't help but take another look.

This person was blocking the road in front of him, and there was a pool of water next to the pavilion, so it was not easy to hide, so Chen Shu had to stop.

He was about to choose another way to return, but at this moment, the dagger around his waist suddenly shook, and he flew into the air like a living thing, and flew past Lin Chenshu!

"!"

Where the wooden dagger passed, Chen Shu suddenly heard the extremely subtle sound of metal colliding with wood, and there was a thin and long silver light falling from the corner of his eyes.

——It’s a silver needle!

He froze for a moment, then reacted suddenly, his pupils shrank instantly, and he picked up the wooden dagger and quickly swept it backwards.

"Who!" Just as he was flipping backwards, a shadow suddenly landed on the place where Chen Shu had originally landed, and his eyes were fixed on the direction in which Chen Shu was evacuating.

Chen Shu was startled, no longer concealed his figure, and returned to the palace wall of the imperial study in a few steps.

Under the palace wall, another group of guards patrolled past, and there was a figure on the wall at the torch.

"There are assassins!" The head guard immediately woke up and shouted.
