Shen Qi looked at the tables of burly men sitting around them, and finally understood why Chang An was not afraid.

Although it was indeed safer, Shen Qi felt uncomfortable all over.After all, it really doesn't feel good to be watched secretly for every move you make.

Putting these aside, Shen Qi was even more curious about where Chang An invited those people.

On the stage was the girl who sang a little song when Shen Qi and Chang An came for the first time.She sang a beautiful Donghe tune this time, and there was no booing among the tea guests. Everyone was enjoying the beautiful melody.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was immersed in the music and couldn't extricate themselves, Shen Qi leaned into Chang An's ear and whispered, "Where did you find these people, they seem very powerful."

Chang An smiled and said, "They are my people, so there is no need to look for them."

Shen Qi didn't understand, touched his head and asked: "What do you mean?"

There was a burst of applause among the tea guests, Chang An lightly held Shen Qi's hand and said softly: "I will explain this matter to Madam later, Ke'er is about to come out."

The clothes Ke'er was wearing were borrowed by Chang'an from Ding Bo in Buzhuang, and they didn't seem to fit very well, but Ke'er was well-dressed and looked like a handsome young man.

"Hello, everyone," Jie'er first bowed to the audience, and then said, "Sir, I have something to do at home today, so I will talk about it today."

Even if Ke'er deliberately spoke in a thick voice, it still sounded like a girl's soft voice.

The tea guests in the audience seemed a little dissatisfied with her.Unlike the noisy atmosphere when the storyteller came out in the past, it was extraordinarily quiet today.

Ke'er doesn't mind either, since she's not really a storyteller anyway.

"Let me introduce myself first. I come from the imperial city. It's my first time here, and I don't have anything good to give you, so let me tell you something different."

Someone among the tea guests finally said, "What's different?"

With a decent smile on his face, Ke'er said: "I heard yesterday that Mr. talked about our emperor's affection, so I will also talk about it today."

The tea drinkers finally stopped being silent, and started talking non-stop:

"I already talked about it yesterday, what's the point of talking about it today?"

"Yup……"

"It's boring..."

"Say something else."

Jie'er was furious when he saw those people in the audience.They are simply a group of idiots who only listen to hearsay and have no judgment!

She picked up the piece of Xingmu and patted it down with all her strength.

With a sound of "bang", the chattering tea drinkers in the audience shivered suddenly.

"Of course I know that it's meaningless to talk about what I've said, but I don't want to say what everyone already knows. Of course, what I want to say is what everyone doesn't know."

A tea guest asked, "What don't you know?"

Fearing that someone would chatter about something she didn't like to hear, Ke'er kept holding the piece of Xingmu tightly in her hand, ready to take another shot at any time.

"Let's talk about our fourth prince's mother. Everyone knows that she used to be the empress, but everyone doesn't know that she is the empress who was thrown into the cold palace."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, some people were not willing to listen to them:

"How is it possible! When did the empress go to the cold palace?"

"You heard it from hearsay."

"Sir arranges the emperor at will. If the government finds out about this, it will be a capital offense!"

Ke'er patted Xingmu lightly, and said aggrievedly: "Everyone can't accuse me of this crime, because everything I said is true."

"Back then, the empress empress' elder brother was excluded in the court, and the empress went to plead with the emperor, wanting the emperor to pay more attention to her elder brother, but the emperor suddenly became angry for some reason, and ordered the empress to take the fourth prince into the cold palace."

Hearing this, Chang An was afraid that Shen Qi would recall something bad, so he quietly grabbed his hand to distract him.

Shen Qi was a little confused by Chang An's sudden action, but then he understood that Chang An was worried about him.

He returned a smile to Chang An and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Ke'er continued to say:

"The emperor put the empress empress in the cold palace and left her alone, and threatened to let her fend for herself. The empress's brother went to intercede, but the emperor rewarded her with a board and drove her back home."

"The empress is also stubborn. She felt that she was right, so she refused to soften her temper and beg the emperor for mercy."

"Lenggong is barren and damp, and it's not suitable for people to live in. The empress is Ye Chengxiang's younger sister, and she was raised in the palm of her hand. When did she suffer from this kind of crime? So slowly, her body is not good enough. Well, she passed away when the fourth prince was five years old."

"Everyone always rumors that the empress died of illness, which is true, but this illness was given by the emperor."

"It's not because he misses the empress that he doesn't like the fourth prince, it's because he hates the empress."

Chang An heard this and saw Shen Qi frowned, he hastily squeezed Shen Qi's hand a little more.

"The fifth prince was born on the day the empress went. To celebrate, the emperor lit up fireworks all over the sky. He refused to be invited to see the empress for the last time, and said 'it's really bad luck'. Later, the empress's body was not even left behind. , Burned it all, and the ashes were thrown away. He wants his own wife to be a lonely ghost."

"So the affectionate emperor you speak of doesn't exist at all."

Chang An had already felt Shen Qi's trembling, he sat closer, raised his hand to gently run along Shen Qi's back, and comforted him: "Madam, don't be afraid, it's all over."

The tea guests were also quiet for a while.

Then a person boldly said: "I have a relative's sister who worked in the palace before. In fact, she also said so, but we didn't believe it at the time."

"I went to the imperial city to listen to books before, and a gentleman in the imperial city also said so."

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. If the emperor is really so affectionate, then what happened to the fifth prince's mother and concubine?"

"Your majesty, three thousand beauties in the harem are normal. Besides, the empress is gone, so the emperor can't live alone forever."

"But counting the time, the emperor began to spoil the newcomer when the empress was still alive."

"That's right, the ashes were scattered, what a hate."

"But the empress is so nice. She was pregnant with the fourth prince and went out of the palace to visit refugees."

"That's right, that's right, I've heard about this too, and I even gave out porridge and clothes."

"I heard that they want to accumulate virtue for the unborn fourth prince."

"There is one more thing you don't know. The empress came to our place to visit the group of people on Yaoguang Mountain."

"Speaking of that one is also pitiful. If it wasn't for his young age, how could the throne be taken away by outsiders?"

"Stop talking, if someone overhears you, you will be killed!"

"Yes, yes, I can't say..."

Shen Xi was a little stiff when he heard the tea guests' discussion, he turned to Chang'an and asked, "Really?"

Chang An put down the teacup in his hand and thought about it carefully, and said: "I was still young at that time, so I can't remember clearly, but I do have a bit of impression. It seems that there was a beautiful lady who came to this mountain. At that time, she had a big belly. I I even reached out to touch it, and Madam told me gently that there was a younger brother living there."

Chang An turned his head to look at Shen Qi after recalling, and found that the other party's eyes were as shocked and unbelievable as his.

It turned out that the two of them had met so early.

It turned out that this was a predestined fate.
