Those days when Mrs. Yazhai

Shen Xi didn't have any impression of the person standing in front of him, but after that person introduced himself as Ye Shu, Shen Xi had an impression.

Ye Shu was adopted by Prime Minister Ye when he was young. He was originally a playmate for Ye Linjiang, but for some reason, Prime Minister Ye recognized him as his adopted son and stayed with him to cultivate him carefully.

That year Ye Linjiang went to the battlefield of Beisai, he only brought Ye Shu with him, but he won the battle brilliantly.

It is said that Ye Shu's performance on the battlefield is not inferior to Ye Linjiang at all.But the Ye family's father and son's aura is too strong. Compared with Ye Linjiang, Ye Shu's deeds are only mentioned by the people and forgotten.

Although Ye Shu is Prime Minister Ye's adopted son, Shen Qi has never met him.Shen Qi's impression of Ye Shu all came from his cousin Ye Yangjiao's eloquent and emotional description.

Ye Yangjiao is different from her father and her brother, she is lively, cheerful and eccentric, very lovable.The helpless and boring years when Shen lived in the palace depended on the picture books secretly brought by Ye Yangjia to survive.

Painting books are an unspoken secret in the palace center, but where to get the painting books depends entirely on personal ability.Those people in the palace have always been in favor of others, and Shen Xi is the most unfavorable prince, so it is wishful thinking to ask the people in the palace to help him.

Fortunately, Ye Yangjie likes to read picture books as much as he does. Occasionally following Prime Minister Ye or Ye Linjiang to work in the palace, he would try his best to bring some in for him, and sometimes he would sit with him in his small broken courtyard for a while chat.

The understanding of Ye Shu came from those chats.

Ye Yangjie seemed to dislike Ye Shu very much, except for praising Ye Shu for being brave and good at fighting when he mentioned it to him for the first time, he was always telling Shen Qi how unintelligible Ye Shu was.Shen Qi had never met Ye Shu at that time, so in order to appease his cousin who became agitated when Ye Shu was mentioned, he had to coax softly: "I will definitely beat Ye Shu up when I see Ye Shu in the future."

Now the uninitiated Ye Shu that Ye Yangjie was talking about was standing in front of him, but Shen Xi didn't know how to hit him, and didn't even know what to say.

After all, this is the first time they've met.

Ye Linjiang hadn't woken up yet, and Ye Shu and Shen Qi didn't speak, Gu Nanjiu felt that the atmosphere was very awkward, and at the same time felt that he seemed superfluous.

Gu Nanjiu was embarrassed at the thought of embarrassment, she had to sit here and wait for Shen Qi to tell him the truth.But after thinking about it, he is a family, and it is normal for him not to hear some whispers. The silence for half a day may be a silent eviction order.As for Shen Qi's truth, it won't be too late to hear it again at dawn.

Gu Nanjiu brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves, stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go outside and drink a jug of wine and guard the door for you, you two, let's catch up on the old days since we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Shen Xi didn't know that Gu Nanjiu had met Ye Shu, but he still felt guilty when facing Gu Nanjiu, he always felt that Gu Nanjiu knew something.

After Gu Nanjiu went out, Shen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but Ye Shu suddenly knelt down in front of him, as if admitting his mistake with sincerity.

"What are you doing?" Shen Qi didn't care how many times he and Ye Shu had met, so he went to help Ye Shu in panic.

Ye Shu pushed Shen Qi lightly, and said, "I'm sorry, Fourth Prince, we revealed our secrets."

Even though Shen Qi was mentally prepared, he was still absent-minded for a while when he heard the word "reveal".

After a long while, Shen Qi asked: "The meaning of revealing...is Mr. Gu aware of it?"

Ye Shu thought for a while, then nodded and replied: "I probably know. I came here just after the third prince's man, and that man was taken away by Mr. Gu. Just ask me and you'll know everything."

Shen Qi bit his lips lightly, and remained silent for a while, then stretched out his hand to help Ye Shu, "Get up, it's not your fault."

But Ye Shu seemed to believe that it was his responsibility, so he didn't want to get up.

Seeing Ye Shu's stubbornness, Shen Xi could only sigh and said, "Since you don't want to get up, let's talk like this. Tell me why you came here suddenly, but what happened in the palace?"

Something really happened at the Palace.

Ever since Prime Minister Ye and General Ye expressed their support for the eldest prince, the second prince panicked, and then retreated steadily.

The second prince is not a kind person at all, relying on his mother and concubine to be favored, he has been domineering in the palace these years, hurting the lives of countless people, and tarnishing the innocence of countless maids.

Although the first prince is also a jerk, he has always been shameless towards the second prince's way of bullying the weak and fearing the hard.Originally, he was not pleasing to the eye, but recently he has put all his energy into investigating him.

As expected, something was found out.

The uncle of the second prince is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the imperial court. This Shangshu usually seems to be modest and polite, but he does innumerable bad things in secret, ranging from robbing civilian women to murdering and arsonating.

The eldest prince started the investigation from the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, ignoring the activities of robbing civilian women, murdering and setting fire, and accidentally found evidence of Shangshu's corruption, bribery, buying and selling officials.

The second prince's mother and concubine have been secretly protecting her younger brother, and even asked the second prince to come forward to help the Minister of Rites to deal with the aftermath.Slowly, the second prince began to collude with the Minister of Rites, taking corruption and accepting bribes to the extreme, which led to the detection of problems in the number one scholar in the past three years.

We all know that the current emperor hates people doing dirty things under his nose the most, and he hates it even more now that he is on the sick bed.

On that day, the emperor's mind on the sick bed suddenly gained a sliver of clarity, and the eldest prince took the opportunity to list all the crimes committed by the second prince.

And the one who gave the second prince a fatal blow was Lu Heng, who had just won the No. [-] pick this year.

Lu Heng knelt in front of the emperor's sickbed that day, and told how he was threatened by the second prince and the minister of rites that he would change hands if he didn't give the champion money, and how he found someone to beg and borrow money to save himself and study hard The champion who passed the examination for more than ten years even showed the receipt given by the second prince.

With all the witnesses and material evidence, the emperor was furious, struggling on the sickbed to kill the second prince of Shang Shu, but his body was exhausted, his heart was more than enough but his strength was not enough, he vomited two mouthfuls of blood, and ordered the second prince to be sent to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu fell into a coma after being sent to prison and executed within a few days.

The emperor woke up again later and ordered to punish the second prince's mother and concubine.Since the second prince's mother and concubine had served him for many years, and it was only a crime of covering up, he ordered her to be thrown into the cold palace and let her fend for herself.

"Is it just being sidelined?" Shen Qi asked in surprise.

Ye Shu nodded.

Shen Qi snorted and laughed, feeling unworthy for his mother in his heart.

Shen Qi tried to calm down his emotions, and then asked Ye Shu: "So why did you come here all of a sudden?"

"For Jie'er." Ye Shu said.

He looked up at Shen Qi, and said in a very serious tone, "Now that the second prince has been eliminated, the adoptive father will do his best to help the eldest prince deal with the third prince. But the third prince is too cunning, we are afraid that he will make a move on him, so we decided to take him away." Ke'er brought you here."

"Send it to me?" Shen Qi was too surprised.

"I can't protect myself now, how can I protect Jie'er?"

Ye Shu lowered her head guiltily after hearing the words, "I'm sorry, if I hadn't been too reckless, the Fourth Prince would have been able to hide here well."

Shen Qi smiled lightly, comforted Ye Shu and said, "Even if you didn't show up here tonight, Mr. Gu probably already knows something, so it's not your fault."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qi went to help Ye Shu again, persuading him: "Get up, get up and sit here, and tell me about your future plans, so I can cooperate."
