Emperor Chongxin glanced at the silent Seventh Prince and Shao Shangshu, and he could roughly guess what, but he looked at the Second Prince, then turned back to the Seventh Prince and Shen Wenxuan, leaned back on the chair and was silent for a while, then The expression faded from the original anxiety and hatred, and became intriguing.

"Old Seven." He called.

Li Yu froze, and subconsciously straightened his back to look at Emperor Chongxin, but the tears flowed down first, he was afraid that he would be imprisoned in the clan mansion like his fourth brother, and die quietly inside.

"Why are you crying?" Emperor Chongxin's eyes became a little disgusted, "You were not good at reading, riding and archery, and music theory since you were young, and I didn't let you care about it. It is also so imprecise and weak, how can you let me rest assured that Southwest will be handled by you."

Li Yu couldn't help crying, and took two steps on his knees: "Father, my minister is wrong, it's my minister's incompetence, but my minister is really, really—"

"Okay." Emperor Chongxin waved his hand to interrupt what he was going to say. The child still didn't understand what he meant. He had tried his best to make big things into small things. In the end, if he talked nonsense, he would condemn himself Wouldn't it be a joke.

"The Seventh Prince Li Yu's work is careless and careless, with many omissions, and cannot be reused. He will be deprived of his title of imperial envoy from now on."

The second prince was overjoyed, and when he was waiting for the emperor to entrust him with the errand, he heard Emperor Chongxin change the subject:

"The decree is drawn up. Ge Zhengzhuo, the prefect of Pingle Prefecture, is smart and capable, honest and honest, and won my heart. It is a pity that such humerus ministers are abandoned. Ge Zhengzhuo is specially appointed as the new imperial envoy. Li Yu just follow along and learn from the sidelines."

The Seventh Prince breathed a sigh of relief, his back relaxed and he knelt down on the ground. He didn't realize that he had sweated so much, the skirt of his clothes inside was already wet with sweat. Li Zhi raised his head in disbelief and stared at the superior emperor. I feel very cold.

"Father, this matter was discovered by my son. Could it be that my father just ignored my son?" He said, his eyes were red, and the trust and trust in the past disappeared like a passing cloud, leaving no trace at this moment.

"Seventh brother made such a big mistake, just because someone filled the hole, you can turn a blind eye and continue to reuse him, why!" Li Zhi gritted her teeth, "Do you think it's fair for me to be so unscrupulously partial?"

"You think it's unfair, but your fourth brother thinks it's fair?" Emperor Chongxin said angrily, thinking of the fourth child, he still felt pain inside, "I never allow anyone to comment on what I do, I have to back down, I am tired! "

The fourth child, he had explained thousands of times that he did not kill him, and the emperor never believed it. Li Zhi took a deep breath to swallow the anger and bitterness in his heart, glanced at Empress He with some complaints, and then went out .

Shen Wenxuan turned his eyes between Emperor Chongxin and Li Yu who was slowly standing up, still smiling, "Okay, this is completely torn face with him, Shen Wenxuan turned his back and didn't even salute, and turned to follow Lord Chu They walked out of the imperial study room together, opening and closing their fingers, showing strength for no reason.

Seeing what the emperor meant, he didn't want to investigate the matter at all, so he gave his money to Lao Qi as a matter of course. After all, it was not easy for him to take away the things in the patrol camp.

The Seventh Prince is incompetent, and he probably doesn't even know where the scattered silver went, let alone return the million silver to him.The people in the southwest are struggling, and it is good to live one more day. Even the people that old man Wen helped in Pingle Mansion have almost eaten up their food and grass. If he fights with them on this matter at this time, it is impossible to say whether he will win or lose. , but it doesn't make sense.People are dead, what is he trying to raise and get it back for?

Emperor Chongxin glanced at his back, hesitating in his heart, he was worried that he would stand on the opposite side but he was not willing to let him go, just thinking that Concubine Ning and Empress He would also bow and retreat, Emperor Chongxin subconsciously grabbed Ning Concubine's hand, let her stay, noticed the Queen's eyes and coughed unnaturally:

"The empress's journey to the Yaochi was also very hard, and she stood here for a long time, so I won't keep you here as a company, go back to the palace and have a good rest."

Empress He had a standard smile on her face, but her eyes were cold: "Yes, Your Majesty, my concubine knows that it is not appropriate to enter the fairyland, and has lost the dignity of being a queen. The scriptures, so as to suppress the impatience of the concubine."

She purposely emphasized the words "in the Empress Dowager's Palace", causing Concubine Ning to look over and feel uneasy.

"The concubine will leave." When Empress He turned around, she exchanged meaningful glances with Concubine Ning, her face sank when she got out of the imperial study, and she ordered Tao Hong beside her to drive to Changxin Palace.

She would like to see what the empress dowager is thinking.

Before Shen Wenxuan left the square in front of the main hall, he was blocked in front by the Seventh Prince chasing up from behind, fiercely carrying grievances, pitiful, it seemed that he wanted to redeem?

Shen Wenxuan was not used to him, he took a step forward and directly revealed his indifferent and ruthless inside, his dark eyes made people panic: "Seventh Prince, I will remember this matter, in the future you should be more careful, don't let me catch you." Hold on."

After saying that, he showed a smile, raised his foot and was about to pass him, when Li Yu suddenly said, "Stop."

"I don't want to be like this either, but I have too many things to worry about. I have my mother and concubine, my grandfather, the Shao family, and the empress and second brother who are eyeing me. I suddenly don't know what to do. I just wanted to do it." A prince, whether he is detained in the capital or sent out of town, and spends his life idly, I don't want to argue with anyone—"

"But you were put in that position by the emperor. There is nothing you can do. You are so helpless, helpless, and pitiful." Shen Wenxuan turned to him, with mockery in his eyes, "Then you enjoy the respect, praise, and appreciation from all directions. How did it feel when you were in the dark? How did it feel when you were sitting on unrivaled wealth and power? Did you ever breathe a sigh of relief when you tried to push me to the execution ground for your own benefit?"

"Don't be a person and stand up at the same time, I find it disgusting."

Li Yu clenched his lips, and roared with a suppressed temper, "Then what do you want me to do? I didn't know that you would help me. You have never been willing to speak properly, either threatening or secretly. Irony, if you had told me earlier, I would have fought to the end in front of my father."

"It's still my fault for co-authoring," Shen Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "The seventh prince, will you die if you don't covet the [-]% of the money?"

Li Yu: "I just want to be greedy for [-]%, it's—"

"Three achievements are not money?" Shen Wenxuan lowered his face, "You have also served porridge and rice for beggars, and you know what they eat and what they wear. How many lives can the thirty percent silver save?"

"...If my family background is profound, if I am as rich as you, do I still need to care about the [-]% of the silver?" Li Yu said softly, staring into Shen Wenxuan's eyes as if he was going all out.

"Which prince have you ever seen bowing his knees in front of a merchant? Have you ever seen which prince went to sit on time like a dog every day in order to win over a minister? Liu Bei only visited the thatched cottage. I don't know how many times I have been to your house. But did you, Shen Wenxuan, ever have the slightest intention to be loyal to me? I'm afraid it's not that this time you are busy for me, it's not good, it's just because you are afraid that I will drag you down."

This kid really has reached a new height with a white-eyed wolf. Was he blind back then?

Shen Wenxuan stood a step in front of him, looking down at people with condescending disdain: "Seventh prince, not everyone wants to kneel down with a stern face, since the Li family's royal family can teach you such a beast I really don't care about sacrifices. I personally think that all surnames in the world are much more noble than princes and nobles."

Li Yuding stared at Shen Wenxuan's back as he gradually walked away, Shao Youli came over from a short distance and patted him on the shoulder, as if he wanted to comfort him, but the words became speechless again.

Chu He walked beside Shen Wenxuan with his sleeves in his arms. The more Shen Wenxuan and the Seventh Prince quarreled, the happier he was, and said: "My lord, can you recognize the true colors of those people? This saying is good, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. What about the Seventh Prince and the Second Prince, I have been in the court for at least 20 years, so don’t you know? It’s a bastard or a loach, and I’ve already figured it out thoroughly.”

Shen Wenxuan laughed, but there was not much smile in his eyes: "Master Chu is shrewd, this time I am stupid."

Thinking about this time, I paid millions of taels of silver for nothing for this coward, and it still hurts. I went to see Ajiao properly but didn't see it, and I was so angry for nothing.

Chu He: "Your Excellency, have you thought of a bad move? This time, it's not that I want you to fight with the two princes, it's God who wants you to fight your way out."

Shen Wenxuan: "It's not easy to get rid of the seventh prince? Isn't he going to the southwest? Then go, whether he comes back or not depends on his luck. As for the second prince, you just need to wait and see."

Chu He laughed, stopped and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, go slowly. I have to go back to the household department to process some files, so I won't go with you."

Shen Wenxuan replied: "Lord Chu, do as you please."

Everyone was happy when they found out that he had no choice, only he left a cavity of loneliness after being cruel, and this loneliness had to be held in his heart, and he couldn't let go of it or sigh.

Shen Wenxuan lowered his eyes, turned around and continued to walk outside the palace, the expression on his face was neither salty nor dull, but when he was about to leave the palace gate, a dog barking suddenly came from behind, the sound sounded like a dog leftover, Shen Wenxuan paused, turned around I saw a white fur running towards me in big waves. The hair is so long...it's time to cut it.

The dog stopped in front of him, and wagged its tail around him. Shen Wenxuan bent down and grabbed the dog's head and shook it, thinking that this is not a chance for nothing. See you later while sending the dog back. one sight--

No, he rejected it after a short thought. Today, he had to let the queen mother intervene. The queen and the second prince have doubts and say otherwise, but it is really inappropriate for him to go now.

When he touched Gousheng's mouth, Gousheng suddenly spat out a small box in his hand. Shen Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and his mood suddenly rose. The box was made of black wood. The last time he sent it The presents in the Empress Dowager's palace were also boxes made of black sunken wood.

Ajiao——

Shen Wenxuan hurriedly wiped the drool on the box with his sleeve, and opened it carefully. Inside was a piece of rice paper folded into several squares, and when it was unfolded again, it was a painting. There were him, Ajiao, and childhood in the painting. In the dog remnant and the simple farmyard, the clothes on Ajiao's body are all the delicate green cuffed robes that he gave him for the first time.

It's only been a year and a half since it was full, but now it seems like a lifetime.

Shen Wenxuan watched the light in his eyes become extremely soft and soft, and his whole body was like a gentle young man standing in front of Jiao Shihan, with all the thorns removed, like white jade on a mosque, like a bright moon in the sky.

"Oh, oh, the painting looks so similar, my Jiaojiao must be missing me." Shen Wenxuan laughed, his eyes narrowed, and he squatted on the ground and watched carefully for an unknown amount of time, sweeping away today's bad luck.

He missed him too.

The guards guarding the palace gate glanced at him several times, hesitating whether to step forward to remind him, or to look to the side, but the club blocked the way.

When the sky was getting dark, Shen Wenxuan sighed, pulled out the jade hairpin on his head, let Gou Sheng carefully bite it and sent it back, and replaced it with the hairpin, sending lovesickness far away as a token of safety.

Staring at the dog running away wagging his tail, Shen Wenxuan raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Changxin Palace for a while, lowered his eyes and carefully folded the painting and put it in the box, and put it away on the left side of his clothes, so that when the palace door is about to close, out of the palace.

In Changxin Palace, Jiao Shihan has been walking back and forth restlessly at the entrance of the palace, looking out of the palace from time to time, he is waiting for Gousheng to come back, and worried that Shen Wenxuan has already left the palace and missed Gousheng to give him something .

When she was in a hurry, the queen's ceremonial frame suddenly stopped at the entrance of Changxin Palace, and Queen He got down from the chariot, with a specious smile on her face, and the old fox's fierceness was seen at a casual glance.

"Hey, isn't this the little nephew of the Ning family? It's really filial to stay with the empress dowager in the palace for so long." She said, stepping into the threshold of Changxin Palace.

Jiao Shihan couldn't avoid it, so he bowed to the side of the road and knelt respectfully to her: "See empress empress, empress is a thousand years old."

"Hehehe, you're so good. It's cold on the ground. Get up quickly." Empress He supported his arm and pulled him up. She turned her gaze at the mask on his face a few times, then glanced at the palace uniform on him, her thoughts turned. , this head-to-toe outfit is all introverted and luxurious, and it looks like it has been carefully prepared. She has never seen the queen mother care so much about a person. Even if Concubine Ning comes to this palace, she does not see the queen mother every day Yes, but this man has lived in the Empress Dowager's Palace for more than a month.

Jiao Shihan was pulled by her arm and it was difficult to break free, so he had to help her arm and said: "Madam, the Queen Mother is resting inside, let me go in with you."

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the green sleeve behind him, and the green sleeve knew how to take a few steps and trot away.

Empress He laughed, "What's your name?"

"Grassman Jiao Shihan."

"Jiao Shihan?" Empress He chewed the name slowly in her mouth, "This surname, so you are not from the Ning family."

Jiao Shihan: "My mother has a deep relationship with the Ning family. Although the surname is not Ning, it is still considered the Ning family."

"Really?" Empress He walked in small steps, and the short path was stretched invisibly, "What kind of injury did you get, why do you always wear a mask?"

Jiao Shihan thought about her question carefully, and replied: "When I was young, I was burnt by the tongs and left a scar, and I have been wearing a mask since then."

Empress He rolled her eyes and stopped: "Maybe I have a look? Don't be nervous, I just know an old doctor who is best at treating these burns and scars left by knife wounds. If it is serious, I will take him Come and see."

Jiao Shihan looked at her, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "No need, the empress dowager has already found a doctor for me, so I don't need to bother the empress."

Empress He pursed her lips slightly: "What if I insist on seeing it?"

Jiao Shihan raised her eyes and glanced at her, then calmed down and said respectfully: "Of course it's okay, Cao Min doesn't mind these things, but I have to say 'Apologize' first, if I offend the empress, I hope the empress can forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Jiao Shihan stretched his fingers behind his head to untie the string of the mask, and the silver mask was removed, revealing an irregular red patch on the left side of his face, which seemed to be pasted abruptly, and even the left eye was slightly swollen.

The two faces of the angel and the devil are mixed together, and the horror is really scary.

Empress He reached out to touch it lightly, outlined its shape with her fingers, and suddenly pressed her thumb hard again. The touch felt as if it was real, and nothing was rubbed off.

"Your face is such a pity. If it hadn't been burnt, it must be a beauty that can overwhelm the country and the city." Empress He said, brushing his forehead hair with her fingers, and pinning it behind the ear, as if inadvertently and as if Deliberately, the fingers were pressed against the skin behind his ears and the jawline and retracted, with a faint smile on his face.

Jiao Shihan rubbed her ears uncomfortably, put the mask back on, supported her arm and continued walking towards the bedroom, this time he couldn't help walking faster.

Empress He felt it, but she didn't say anything, she just rubbed her fingertips meaningfully, thinking about his reaction just now, it was really funny, the scar that was hidden by the mask is supposed to be the most sensitive, but she just now The touch was so hard that it was offending, but the man's expression did not change at all. The funny thing was that she only lightly touched the back of his ear, and his reaction was big and interesting.

If you can't even show your face, then who is this person?

After entering the bedroom where the queen mother was resting, Jiao Shihan immediately let go of her hand and walked to the queen mother's bed to serve her.

Empress He glanced at the pale face of the Empress Dowager, and said with a blessing: "I heard that the Empress Dowager is bedridden, so the concubine came here to see, I wonder if the Empress Dowager is better?"

The queen mother was supported by Jiao Shihan half-sit up and leaned on the soft cushion behind her, and glanced at her indifferently, this woman reacted quickly, she came to the door so early, she had to pretend to be sick twice today.

"It was better at first, but there were too many uninvited guests, which made me feel annoyed and flustered. Now I feel dizzy and want to vomit. Empress, what do you think is wrong with me?"

Empress He ignored her taunts with guns and clubs, and said with a smile: "I don't understand this, the Queen Mother's illness is still cured by the imperial doctor, and I don't dare to talk nonsense, I can only eat fast and chant Buddha for the Queen Mother." Day, let’s express our feelings.”

"It just so happens that the concubine came here this time to ask the Queen Mother to give me some Buddhist scriptures." Empress He walked slowly to the bookshelves in the hall and looked them up curiously, "The Queen Mother reads eighty if not a hundred scriptures. It is proficient, can you recommend some meditation and enlightenment to my concubine?"

The queen mother glanced at the compartment behind her through her, and the hidden door there was opened to Jiaqing's ancestral hall, coincidence?The Empress Dowager coughed heavily and said: "My ears are not working well now, and I can't hear what you are saying clearly. You should come closer."

Empress He suddenly smiled: "It doesn't matter, the concubine is just talking casually, if the Queen Mother can't hear clearly, just take it as a joke."

Jiao Shihan stared at her from the corner of her eye, feeling something was wrong, especially when she was getting closer and closer to the compartment——

"However, the concubine heard that the queen mother's illness was due to the yin in the palace, but because of the bad Fengshui of Changxin Palace? There was no mistake, could it be because——" Empress He suddenly stood still, her body fell to one side strangely against the tight wall, and everyone couldn't react in time, and with a "bang", the door of the compartment opened.

Empress He stood firm while leaning on the door frame, staring straight at the tablet in the middle, and the words that followed seemed to be silenced: "Because it enshrines the Eldest Princess who died inexplicably."

"Presumptuous!" The queen mother stood up and roared angrily, pulling back Jiao Shihan who had stood up excitedly, and pressed her on the couch so that she could not move.

"This is in Changxin, not your queen's Zhongcui palace. Who gave you the guts to mess around here! Someone, pull the queen down and kneel in front of the steps of my Changxin palace. Without my palace's permission, Don't get up!"

Empress He turned around and knelt on the ground, with a weak and anxious face: "Queen Mother, this concubine just slipped on her feet just now, it wasn't intentional, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me—"

Queen Mother: "What are you still doing, pull her down!"

Tao Hong wanted to stop her, but she was slapped away by Yuan Yang, who firmly grabbed the queen's arm, and half dragged her out of the hall.

Empress He was really angry at this moment, she swept away the maid who restrained her, swallowed the angry words, and looked sharply into the palace.

She provoked this matter, and it turned out that she had already thought about it. Empress He finally endured it calmly, straightened her back and knelt outside the hall: "Of course the Queen Mother's orders are not dared to be disobeyed by the concubine. Kneel here well until the empress dowager dies."

Taohong covered her swollen face with tears in her eyes and glared at Yuanyang and the others. She gave her mother a distressed look, and asked the others to take good care of her, and hurriedly ran out of Changxin Palace to find the emperor.

There have long been rumors in the palace that the empress dowager set up a private mourning hall for the eldest princess. Anyone who has nothing to say will say something, even the emperor will turn a blind eye, but the premise is that it can't be put on the bright side. A smile appeared on the corner of the Queen's mouth, she could not kneel here for long, and sure enough, before the Jinzhong sent by the Emperor entered the palace gate, the Queen Mother threw a few scriptures to her and asked her to copy them as punishment.But she got what she wanted.

Empress He put away the scriptures, and kowtowed gently: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, my concubine will definitely obey the Empress Dowager's instruction."

The queen mother turned her head for a moment, not wanting to see her: "Get lost."

"Yes." Empress He raised her head, fixed her eyes on Jiao Shihan who entered the palace with the Queen Mother, and stood up in a good mood. In this world, there is no impenetrable wall.

Tao Hong rubbed the queen's knees with red eyes, and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The emperor is also true, the empress was punished to kneel, and she only cared about Concubine Ning, so she only sent a Zhong Zhong.

"I'm fine," Empress He turned around and walked out of the palace step by step, "I'm fine."

She could see clearly that there was only the tablet for the eldest princess in the ancestral hall. It was very strange, how could the empress dowager, who loves her daughter like her life, not love her house, and set up a tablet for the eldest princess who unfortunately passed away at birth?

Or...the kid wasn't dead at all.

Then it all makes sense.

It was already late when Shen Wenxuan returned to the mansion, but unexpectedly saw Wang Muze, his father-in-law who was one step ahead of him, accompanying him.

"Oh, our Lord Shen is finally back," the father-in-law squeezed his throat and said joyfully, always feeling that his voice was more than one level worse than Jinzhong's, "Congratulations to Lord Shen, congratulations to Lord Shen, our emperor specially selected a few from the treasury Let the Sajia send it to the adults to play with, such as the treasures that foreigners pay tribute to."

As he said that, he moved closer to Shen Wenxuan and his voice became softer: "I heard that Lord Shen prefers ingenious techniques, that's why the emperor chose these things. Our emperor still remembers Lord Shen."

Shen Wenxuan opened the box and took a look, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, this emperor wanted to send him away like this?What if he is a beggar?A few million taels can buy the treasury, who cares about these crap.

"It's hard work, father-in-law, take a trip, Steward Wang, see off the guests." Shen Wenxuan said.

Wang Muze: "Yes."

"Hey, no, it's not—" Eunuch felt something was wrong, he came here all the time, why don't you give me some rewards!

When the outer courtyard finally calmed down, Shen Wenxuan sat in the hall and opened the painting again. He stroked Jiao Shihan's villain with his fingers, and his heart became softer the more he looked at it. When his eyes turned to those gifts, he realized the reality again. Want to gamble.

Shen Wenxuan: "Mu Ze, do two things. First, write a letter to Ge Zhengzhuo. Second, I want to see Ge Wucheng and Zhang Yujian."
