Shen Qingbie didn't see his father when he returned to the mansion, the housekeeper said that Master Xiang was called into the palace early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet.

Chunsheng knew that the young lady was not very interested in political affairs, but this time the prime minister's entry into the palace was probably related to the ghosts in the palace. There were a series of dead people in the palace. Later, he found a blood book in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was said to be four years ago. Concubine Xian's family was framed to death, so the ghost of Concubine Xian came to take revenge.

This matter is inextricably related to the fourth prince, and the lady must be interested. Chunsheng weighed his words and said, "Miss, I heard from people in the palace that Shuyu, the concubine of the fourth prince's mother and concubine Xian, lived before her death." The hall is haunted by ghosts, three of the maids who went in to clean the hall last night died, their eyes were wide open, the doctor at the Tai Hospital examined them, and they were frightened to death."

Shen Qingbie glanced at her indifferently: "Where do ghosts come from in the world, in the future, don't read books that mislead your children."

Shen Qingbie has frequently been in and out of the palace since she was a child. Not only is she the master who is deeply loved by the empress dowager and the empress, but even Chunsheng, the maid, has received a lot of bribes in the harem. It was also when Chunsheng accompanied Shen Qingbie into the palace that he was idle outside the clan's mansion and dragged the passing servants to know.

Seeing that the lady didn't believe it, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and say what the eunuch outside the imperial study had heard: "Eunuch Li from the imperial study also said that the Holy Majesty has summoned many confidants to discuss this matter. Xian four years ago The case of the concubine is indeed strange. Several ministers who participated in the rebellion of the concubine Xian's family had major incidents in the mansion. The news is absolutely true, and it is not Chunsheng's nonsense. Miss is so in love with the fourth prince, and this is very likely Cleaning up the guilt of Concubine Xian four years ago, maybe the fourth prince will come out."

"Chunsheng!" Shen Qingbie called out sharply, "You know that it is a capital offense to inquire about the news of the palace at will!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry miss, this servant deserves to die... Please punish me..." Chunsheng quickly knelt on the ground, pressing his forehead tightly to the ground, not daring to lift it up.

Shen Qing don't sigh, leaned over and pulled her up: "I know you want to help me to see if there is room for maneuver in the fourth prince's matter, but Chunsheng, you have to remember, whether you are in the palace or Outside the palace, you must not talk too much, talk nonsense, some words can't be said even if they are rotten in your stomach, you have to remember them."

"Thank you miss, the servant understands." Chunsheng stood up and bowed to Shen Qingbie again. The lady has been very friendly to them as servants since she was a child, and she grew up with the lady, so she knows this It's not right for her as a servant to say it, but it concerns the fourth prince, who is the lady's favorite person, even if it is taboo, she still has to tell the lady about it.

It just so happened that there was a call from the mansion that Master Xiang was coming back, Shen Qing stopped moving: "I'm going to see my father, you stay outside the door, don't let anyone come in to disturb you."

Chunsheng nodded: "Yes."

.At the same time, a regular visitor came to the Clan Mansion, although he didn't come every day like Princess Anhe, but he would come four or five times in ten days and a half months.

"Your Majesty's complexion hasn't been very good recently, I think the medicine has taken effect." The visitor was dressed in a black robe with a set of Go in his hand. The jailer opened the lock and retreated.

"It's still too long. I have been waiting for four full years, but I just poisoned him for so long, and I have been a prisoner for four years." Jin Yuchen sat cross-legged in the middle of the prison, and did not get up to greet him. .

"I really didn't expect you to keep this move. I think the palace will be very lively tonight." The man didn't care about Jin Yuchen's rudeness. After entering, he carefully placed the chessboard in front of him, Heizi placed on the opponent's side, and Baizi placed in front of himself, "Would you like a game?"

Jin Yuchen smiled: "Master Pei is very interested, of course this king is willing to accompany you."

Pei Yuanjin raised his hand: "You come first."

Jin Yuchen didn't see anything, and immediately dropped his hand, retracted his hand and murmured: "The handcuffs are really uncomfortable to wear, and it really hurts the body if you act for real." After speaking, he took out a pair of handcuffs from his sleeve. Put the key to open it.

"Are you happy even if you don't act? I don't feel sorry for the bruise on your wrist at all. You asked for it yourself. Poor Princess Anhe who was cheated. I'm afraid that even for this little injury My heart is broken." Pei Yuanjin pretended not to say farewell unintentionally, and paid attention to the chess game in his hand absently, but what he said was, "However——the princess Anhe came here too often, now It's a critical period. I will come to see you as soon as I have anything. You have been in this mansion for four years. I don't think you will make all the previous achievements fall short because of a small mistake, right? "

"Of course, Princess Anhe does come too often. Change the guard at the door. When Princess Anhe comes back tomorrow, he will release the crazy prince next door. If something happens to Princess Anhe, it will be No matter how much she thinks about it herself, the queen mother will never let her in again." Jin Yuchen made another drop, approaching Pei Yuanjin's core.

"So ruthless!" Pei Yuanjin complained, as if he was saying that his chess skills were compelling, but also seemed to be saying something else, "Does it have to be the third prince next door? You know he even dares to touch your father's woman, the county The Lord is a weak woman, isn't she afraid of any immeasurable consequences?"

"The play has to be acted more realistically, so that people will believe it, right?" Dark clouds overwhelmed the city, Jin Yuchen put away the chess pieces in his hand, looked up at the person opposite, and couldn't see a trace of ups and downs in his deep eyes, "Besides The third prince knows who you and I are. Although most of what he said will be regarded as crazy, but if someone really believes that the current Taiwei and the fourth prince are women, it will not help us at all. Why not borrow Xiangguo hand, killed him?"

"Haha, I'm being stupid," Pei Yuanjin sat up straight, "Who told this emperor not to like women to be officials? Obviously Anqing Kingdom also had a period when a queen ruled, but the current emperor just hates women in power. It is Fu Shiguo, the right prime minister who did his best for the country. He also made things difficult for the Fu family because his daughter Fu Bai became the commander-in-chief of the [-] troops guarding the north and south. Oh, speaking of Fu Bai, I heard that there was a battle report from the border. Fifteen cities have been captured by the foreign tribes, and they will return to the capital triumphantly in a few days."

"It's really time to come back, and it's a good show." Jin Yuchen played with one of the sunspots, "Which ministers who participated in the case of my mother and concubine had new babies at home?"

"There are two families, each has a son and daughter, and one of them is a pair of twins."

"Kill it, and complied with the blood book in the Hall of Mental Cultivation 'The minister of confusion and chaos will cut off his sons and grandchildren.'" Pei Yuanjin clasped his hands together, and after reciting a Buddhist saying, he said, "It can be regarded as an early salvation for them."

.At night, Jin Mingzuo dreamed that he appeared in the Shuyu Hall. There were strange and flickering candles around the hall, but there was no one there.There was a woman walking towards him, Concubine Xian who had been dead for four years. There was blood coming out of her eyes, nose and mouth. There were wriggling maggots floating around, and the whole body gave off a stench, but those eyeless eyes seemed to be locked on him, and the legs walked towards him stiffly, and the hands with long nails stretched out, eager to grab forward.

Jin Mingzuo ran outside in fear, but there were also such rotten corpses wandering outside. When he saw him, he rushed to him, and he took a closer look at all the criminals who were executed four years ago.Jin Mingzuo stepped back, and suddenly heard an erratic female voice, which came from the mouth of the dead concubine Shu: "My father Chen Guogong devoted himself to His Majesty, and my uncle has guarded the border for the safety of Anqing for more than ten years, enduring the severe cold on the border. My nephew is also taking an important position in the court to solve problems for His Majesty, why do you say that my Chen Guogong's government is trying to usurp the throne, ransacked my Chen family, and slaughtered the nine clans!"

"I want you to take your life. I owe thousands of lives to my Chen family. You have to pay with your life. Your life alone is not enough. Everyone around you must die!"

As Concubine Xian said, she pinched Jin Mingzuo's neck and squeezed it hard, her nails sank in, and there was a heart-rending pain.

"Let go of me! The case four years ago has nothing to do with me. It was all instigated by Fu Shiguo and Shen Funan! That informant letter was forged by the two of them. I just wanted to give it to the people of the world and the ministers in the court." Just an explanation, what is wrong with me, why did you come to me... Let go, since I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time, let go, I tell you to let go, do you hear..." Jin Ming Zuo found that the other party's strength was not that great, so he broke away the hand that was pinching his neck with force, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed the other party's neck with his backhand, his eyes were red, "Bitch! Even after you die, you still want to trouble me, and I will kill you! Bitch!"

Gradually the person in front of him disappeared, and the surrounding scene returned to the state before he went to bed. He came to Concubine De's bedroom tonight. He looked at the person next to the pillow in horror, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were broken. Annoyed.

On the second day, another riot broke out in the imperial court. Overnight, murders occurred in the residences of officials above the fourth grade—Zhongshu Shilang and Shangshu Zuocheng. The new children of the two families were found tragically dead in their infancy. Even the nanny who was guarding the children was murdered. What is even more heinous is that the murderer not only killed the babies, but also carved letters on the babies' bodies. The densely packed small characters on the bodies of the three babies read "Injustice" , "The minister of confusion, he will cut off his children and grandchildren", "This is not the last", the repeated words are engraved all over the child's body, and the blood stained the entire cradle...

The murderer didn't intentionally mention the tragedy in Chen Guogong's mansion four years ago, but everyone thought of that case at the same time, because many ministers suspected the possibility of Chen Guogong's treason in their hearts, and a well-timed informant appeared. Then he issued an imperial edict to punish the nine families of the Chen family.

It's...too much a coincidence.
