Shen Wenxuan laughed when he saw his dumbfounded appearance, and just as he raised his hand to touch his nose, Jiao Shihan suddenly leaned out of the window and hugged his neck, tiptoeing up to kiss his lips, soft and warm, rubbing With crispy numbness, it is sweet and comfortable.

This time it was Shen Wenxuan who was stunned, Jiao Shihan opened his mouth and bit his upper lip lightly, then bit his nose again, when he let go, seeing that he was numb, he couldn't help raising his hand to pat his side face, muttering softly : "This can't be a dream, right? The touch just now is very real."

Shen Wenxuan grabbed his troublesome hand, pursed his lips to reflect on the kiss just now, and said "tsk": "I haven't seen you for a few days, let my husband look at you with admiration."

Jiao Shihan withdrew her hand with a smile, and looked at him with joy in her eyes: "Because I miss you, my dream is full of you."

Shen Wenxuan smiled, and suddenly relaxed physically and mentally. Through the window, he pressed his forehead on his shoulder, and sighed, "I'm a little tired, let me lean on for a while."

Jiao Shihan lifted his hand to take off his hat and bun, his black hair was long and spilled all over his shoulders, Jiao Shihan stroked his hair smoothly, from the top of his head to the end, and patted his back again, He didn't speak, just simply hugged him, didn't even let out the cool and sweet scent of flirting, and quietly accompanied him to breathe the slightly cold air in the middle of the night under the cold moonlight.

The queen mother stood at the door of Yachen Pavilion and watched quietly for a while, lowered her eyes and smiled, waved her hand to let Jinde help her to go back, and the palace maids and eunuchs followed silently.

"Why didn't your empress go in? This son surnamed Shen is a bit reckless, and he didn't know how to get in in the middle of the night. He is so capable, and the whole Changxin Palace is so noisy." Jinde said while walking, supporting the Queen Mother. .

The Empress Dowager glanced at him with disgust: "Why do I go in? It's impossible to be that boring old bastard?"

"Your Majesty, that's not what you meant by a slave." Jinde hurriedly explained.

"Hmph," the queen mother laughed, "they can make trouble as they please. I have never seen anything at such an advanced age. I am not afraid of anything. No matter how crazy they are, I have ways to protect them."

"Your Majesty is right." Jinde hastily agreed.

The Empress Dowager came here in a hurry this time, she only wore a thick cloak over her bright yellow obscene clothes, although she did not purify her appearance, her power remained undiminished, and she couldn't hide her scattered white hair in black silk.

She picked up a strand and rubbed it between her fingers, said with a smile: "Jinde, I am old after all."

There was a hint of bitterness in the laughter, remembering how high-spirited she was when she scolded Fang Qiu on the court, and also deeply remembering that she had endured all kinds of forbearance and forced a smile in the deep palace for more than ten years. There is a little light above the man-eating palace.

"Your Majesty is in good health now, how can you say that you are old? I see that your Majesty will live a long life and have good fortune in the sky. There will be many good days in the future." Jinde said with a smile.

"In the future?" The Queen Mother raised her brows and smiled, "No one can predict what will happen in the future, but I miss Concubine Ning, let's call her here today."

Jinde: "Yes."

Everyone in Yachen Pavilion woke up, and the lights were turned on in the room. Shen Wenxuan took the white fox fur from the green sleeve and wrapped it around Jiao Shihan's body. The stove was turned on to make the temperature in the hall warmer.

Lu Xiu waved her hand quietly, asking everyone in the room to follow her out. Once the door was closed, only the two of them were left in the hall, very quiet.

Jiao Shihan touched his side face with his fingers, caressed the blue and black under his eyes, and felt a little pain from the bottom of his heart: "You take good care of yourself, there are no caring maids in the house, why don't you let Wang Muze Recruit some to come in and serve you one or two?"

"You're not jealous now," Shen Wenxuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, jokingly said, "I don't know who chose a servant before and thought that being a person was beautiful."

Jiao Shihan grinned and slapped him on the shoulder: "I don't have it, but if you think recruiting maids is sorry for me, you can just recruit a few women."

"I don't want any of them. I just want a certain cat to take care of me." Shen Wenxuan grabbed his cheeks and rubbed them. Seeing that he was so well-behaved, he couldn't help but leaned over and kissed his forehead.

Jiao Shihan felt the moisture on his forehead, and the smile on his face faded a bit. He knew the current situation even if he was beside the Queen Mother, and he felt guilty:

"Not now, it's very dangerous around me, I don't want to drag you in."

Shen Wenxuan: "My side is also very different. How do you think that we two unlucky bastards can make a pair?"

Jiao Shihan's eyes were funny: "Well, I have to blame someone who likes to recognize my brother."

Seeing him dodging and raising his eyebrows suddenly, Jiao Shihan's heart was itchy, and she leaned into his ear and whispered: "Brother."

The sound is light and soft, and the sweetness overflows.

Shen Wenxuan coughed lightly, feeling a ball of fire coming up from below, and covered his face with his hands as if surrendering: "Don't call me that, I can't slow it down."

Jiao Shihan's ears were red and she felt a little embarrassed. She covered her mouth and followed him to change positions in his arms. She lay on him and enjoyed a moment of joy. He knew that Shen Wenxuan would not stay in the palace for long. About to leave.

"I want to ask you something." Shen Wenxuan stroked his hair, "Did the Empress Dowager set up a memorial tablet for the deceased Eldest Princess?"

"Tribute?" Jiao Shihan recalled the compartment in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and replied, "Yes, my grandmother took me to worship every day, and it was full of... portraits of my mother, and there was also an altar with a memorial tablet. .”

Shen Wenxuan was a little surprised to see that he had changed his words, but it also showed that the Queen Mother was really kind to A Jiao, so he was relieved and continued: "A Jiao, help me see if there is anything hidden in that tablet. If you have something, write it down and give it to Zhao Er or Yanqi."

The imperial tomb has been closed since ancient times and cannot be opened again. If Chi Ji hid the imperial edict in the imperial tomb of the eldest princess, it is no different from destroying the imperial edict. Those who pay homage to the eldest princess will definitely get into big trouble. Apart from ordinary ministers, even the Chi Ji and Ning families who are close to the eldest princess will not stand up. After all, they still have to live in the hands of the emperor. .

Jiao Shihan nodded, wondering: "What is that thing?"

Shen Wenxuan pondered for a while, feeling a little flustered in his heart, suddenly worried that the change of A Jiao's feelings towards the queen mother and the eldest princess would be prejudiced against him after knowing the truth, but facing A Jiao's gaze, he still said truthfully:

"It's an imperial decree, Ajiao, what do you think if I really have something to do with the emperor?"

Jiao Shihan was surprised: "What can I think, he is him, you are you, to be honest, I don't like him, he is not good to you at all."

Shen Wenxuan smiled, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Then you will only like people who treat me?"

"Of course," Jiao Shihan replied, but it was wrong to think about it, "If it's the kind of person who treats you well...it's not so good."

It's so cute, Shen Wenxuan raised his hand and pinched his nose: "Vinegar bag."

They stayed together in the dormitory for nearly two hours before Shen Wenxuan had to leave. At this time it was just dawn, Jiao Shihan re-tied his hair, put on his hat, and took him by the hand to look around. There was nothing there. Flaw was satisfied and said: "Okay."

Shen Wenxuan played tricks on him, pulled him over and leaned against him without turning around, and said worriedly: "Do you know about Yi Rong at all times? Put on your mask and be careful not to be recognized by others. You should also be careful in Changxin Palace, it is best to eat and drink with the Queen Mother, if you feel something is wrong, go to the palace entrance to find the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army near here are all selected from Zhao Erhe Yanqi's cronies—"

"Okay, okay, I know." Jiao Shihan interrupted him, patted his back to reassure him, but there was something hidden in his heart, he took a few breaths and said:

"Ah Xuan, an old imperial physician under my grandmother is too old, and will be discharged in a few days. There will be a vacancy in the imperial hospital. I will tell my grandmother, let Dr. Zhao enter the palace to be an imperial physician, okay?"

Shen Wenxuan straightened up and looked at his body, especially the back of his neck, and said worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? Is it pain in the back of your neck?"

"No," Jiao Shihan grabbed his flailing hands, and said with a deep breath, "It's just... Doctor Zhao is the one who sees me. I'm used to it, and I don't feel very comfortable when I meet other imperial doctors. "

Shen Wenxuan thought for a while: "That's right. He knows your body best. It's good to have an acquaintance come to accompany you often. Let the Queen Mother arrange it. I'll let Dr. Zhao pack up and go into the palace."

Jiao Shihan smiled: "Okay."

Shen Wenxuan finally pecked at the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked out of the palace gate, Jiao Shihan stood in the corridor and watched his back gradually go away, his expression was originally smiling, but slowly changed to lonely, and finally became firm with a touch of coldness .

"Will Concubine Ning come today?" He asked the green sleeve beside him.

"This morning, I heard sister Honglian who is beside the queen mother say that today the queen mother called Concubine Ning to pay her respects in the afternoon." Lu Xiu replied.

Afternoon?At that time, my grandmother usually took a nap, but she asked Ning Bi to come here at this time...Jiao Shihan understood something and nodded.

Shen Wenxuan was caught in the middle of a row of guards and walked out of the palace. After the palace gate opened, a group of guards would change shifts. He could take advantage of this time to get out with the changing guards.

Early in the morning, the palace road was full of sweeping eunuchs and court ladies. Shen Wenxuan and his group walked quickly, but an old eunuch suddenly ran up to the end of the palace road, with a panicked expression on his face, followed by a few guards, passing by Shen Wenxuan When I was by my side, I only heard him muttering in a dazed way:

"It's not good, it's not good, something big happened..."

Shen Wenxuan was puzzled, and glanced at Yan Qi who was following, only to see that he also had a solemn expression.

Yan Qi saw that no one was paying attention to this place, and walked beside Shen Wenxuan while saying angrily, "My lord, the fourth prince of the Clan Mansion died last night, and I only found out this morning. It is said that the second prince did it."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and rushed to catch up with the old eunuch just now, the clan mansion was also guarded by imperial guards, if something happened to the clan mansion, he and Zhao Erfeng Feng Lang would have to rush there together.

Shen Wenxuan pursed his lips and felt very confused. This matter is not right. The fourth prince has just entered the clan mansion for less than a day. No matter how stupid the second prince is, he will not silence him at this time. This obviously takes the felony of killing brothers and feet on his own. body.

Moreover, the fourth prince was eliminated too quickly. According to the emperor's short-sightedness, it is not impossible to take the fourth prince out of the clan mansion after the turmoil has passed.

... Someone is using their strength to kill the fourth prince and blame the second prince. Who is the most powerful?

Shen Wenxuan walked out from the opened palace door, looked back at the endless palace, and suddenly thought of the seventh prince who was about to grow up, and his birth mother was Concubine An.

He had never heard of the sharpness of this fifteen or six-year-old prince... pretending?

At this time outside the Chongxin Emperor's Palace, Li Zhi knelt on the cold floor and cried uncontrollably, crying, "Father, my son is wronged, father! My son just saw that the clan's house is really hard, so I can't help it." You only went to visit the fourth brother after suffering so much, Father!"

"I definitely did not harm my fourth brother. No matter how stupid or wicked I am, I would not choose to do it at this time. Someone must have deliberately framed me, Father!"

Emperor Chongxin sat inside and listened to the crying outside the palace gate, his brows were tightly furrowed, he leaned on the desk with a sluggish old look, his eyes were filled with anger, and he opened and closed his fingers and pinched them round and round.

Jin Zhong opened the curtain and walked in and carefully reported: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has already found out that there is a poison called Tripterygium wilfordii in the cakes and drinks sent by the second prince. It is fine to take it at first, but after a few hours Afterwards, he will die from a heart attack, which is consistent with the cause of death of the fourth prince."

Emperor Chongxin didn't speak, and after a long while he frowned and said: "The fourth brother is not a fool, he is courteous for nothing, he is either rape or steal, how could he eat what the second child gave him?"

"Maybe, maybe it's because the food in the clan's mansion is too hard to swallow. The fourth prince is noble, and he couldn't get used to it for a while, so he ate the food sent by the second prince." Jin Zhong replied with a bow.

Emperor Chongxin sighed heavily: "What do you think he thinks? He is not much different from the old four years old. He grew up together. I still remember how they were brothers when they were young. Even when they grow up I have changed my heart, but I have already abolished the fourth child, why should he do this?"

Jin Zhong didn't dare to answer this sentence, so he shut up and pretended to be dumb.

Emperor Chongxin didn't expect to hear any answer, the huge sleeping hall was very cold and dark, only a sigh remained for a long time.

"Jin Zhong, pass on my will."

Emperor Chongxin got up, put his arm on Jinzhong's hand and asked him to help him out, his eyes touched the crying second prince under the steps, he paused for a few breaths, looked away and said:

"The second prince, Li Zhi, despised Shangyi and entered the clan's mansion privately. He was confined in the mansion for half a year. Without my will, he was not allowed to take half a step, and there was no need to go to court."

This decree was obviously light, it didn't mention the second prince's murder of the fourth prince at all, and it was obvious that the second prince would not be held accountable, since one of them is dead, the living one must be kept no matter how wrong it is.

"Father, father——" Li Zhi still felt aggrieved, and wanted to climb up the steps with red eyes.

Emperor Chongxin didn't want to see him again, and ordered: "Pull him out."

Seeing this, Zhao Er waved his hand to ask the second prince to be escorted back to the mansion. The imperial guards at the clan mansion belonged to Yan Qi's subordinates. At this time, Yan Qi could only bite the bullet and plead guilty: "The final general is incompetent, and he didn't take good care of him. The fourth prince in the clan's mansion, I also ask the emperor to convict him."

Emperor Chongxin looked at him, his heart was full of dark fire, he was not willing to touch his son, but he wished to peel off eight hundred layers of his skin as a little servant, and said with a cold face: "Speaking of it, you really disappointed me, come on!" People, pull down and strike a hundred sticks!"

It is estimated that there will be no people left after the one hundred sticks, but fortunately, it was Zhao Er who carried out the execution. Zhao Er secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking about how to release the water later.

On the other side of the queen's bedroom, Tao Hong was packing up her things to apply Dankou to Empress He. After hearing the maid's report that the second prince had been restrained, seeing her not in a hurry, she couldn't help wondering: "My lady, are you going to persuade the emperor? The prince's foot restraint prevents him from participating in the government, so much prestige will be lost."

"Isn't it a good thing to lose? I'm grounded right now so that he can wait for his seventh brother." Empress He was in a good mood, and raised her finger to admire the big red Dankou she had just made, as if it was stained with human blood.

Tao Hong didn't understand that the second prince was on their side, and it had nothing to do with the seventh prince, but she saw that the empress was happy today, so she simply didn't talk too much for fear of offending the empress.

In the morning, the sea was calm and turbulent.

Just after noon, the Empress Dowager went into the inner room to take a nap. Jiao Shihan pushed open the door of that compartment, and was facing an altar. All the walls around were hung with various portraits of the Eldest Princess, lifelike.

There is light coming in through the window lattice, but it doesn't seem that the compartment is dark, but rather hazy, adding a touch of artistic conception.

Jiao Shihan lit an incense and bowed respectfully and put it in the incense burner. He was brought here often by the Empress Dowager, and everyone in Changxin Palace was used to it. No one was here to watch him.

Jiao Shihan stared at the words "Eldest Princess Jiaqing" on the tablet and said softly "Offended", raised his hand to hold the tablet down, turned around carefully, but found no imperial decree.

Puzzled, he tentatively knocked on the board of the memorial tablet, and when he touched the base, he stretched it hard, and with a "click", the base was dismantled. Jiao Shihan took advantage of the opportunity to look into the two parts that were dismantled, inside the long board There was a piece of bright yellow silk, and he reached in with his long and slender fingers to carefully pull out the silk. Before he could look behind him, he heard a voice.

Startled, Jiao Shihan immediately turned around, only to find that it was Concubine Ning who had come to pay her respects.

The Empress Dowager didn't like to be disturbed during her afternoon nap, so no one notified Concubine Ning when she came, and she was only allowed to come in quietly. She did not expect to see such a scene.

Ning Siwan looked at the portrait on the wall with trembling eyes, then glanced at the tablet in Jiao Shihan's hand, thinking of the special treatment the queen mother had for him, no matter how stupid she was, she could understand what was going on, but she knew that this matter was very important, and she I didn't mean to offend, I turned around as if I didn't see it, and I was about to leave——

"Concubine Ning." Jiao Shihan called out to her, knowing that she was coming to pay her respects in the afternoon, but he still opened the compartment just to let her see, and the queen mother also meant the same, she went to take a nap just to give the two of them space.

"I'd like...to ask you something." He said, pinching the long board in his hand tightly with his fingers, his palms were sweating nervously, staining a dark spot on the board.

Ning Siwan turned around, and every time Qing'er wanted something, she would look at people eagerly, which made people's hearts soften.

She couldn't refuse him, on the contrary, she couldn't ask for anything from him.

"What does Qing'er want?" She walked over and gently held his hand, her eyes were full of tenderness, "No matter what Qing'er wants, big sister will help you."

Her thoughts were exquisite and clear, even if Jiao Shihan didn't say anything, she was aware of the potential threat. She caught a glimpse of the portrait of the eldest princess and the tablet in his hand from the corner of her eye, and laughed.

She was so guilty that she couldn't help herself, and she almost fell into hell. Now in the deep palace, she should also be a hunter, protecting what she hurt, and tearing up what hurt her.

Jiao Shihan whispered a few words in her ear, very bold, but she was willing to do it.
