Glycyrrhiza licorice is very demanding to cultivate. Normally, if Cai Xun is not around, Shen Yu will take care of it. There are only a dozen or so plants, but now the corners of the flower garden are bare, and even the flowers and roots have to be pulled out clean.Ever since Shen Yuxin borrowed flowers to offer Buddha in Baohua Pavilion, this sweet star grass has become the empress's favorite, it is no different from a tribute, if it is lost for no reason, the empress will definitely punish her.

Cai Xun took care of the flower garden the day before, and the Ganxing grass should still be there at that time, could it be that the old man used it to give incense?But if you look at the entire court, you can't wait to empty your family's wealth to curry favor with the old Taoist, and I have never seen the old Taoist curry favor with others.Shen Yu thought about it for a while, and called the servants who cleaned the small courtyard for the past two days, and asked them one by one, but they all said in unison that they didn't know.

The thought of going to Jitian Palace to visit Song Mingyue was completely gone, and if he met the empress along the way and asked about Gan Xingcao, there was really no room for maneuver.Although such a trivial matter, the empress may not be unreasonable, but if it is investigated and Qianniuwei is sent to the Qingmo Academy for a few days to investigate, it is not good to act in Shen Yu's heart.

After noon, Shen Yu wanted to take a trip to Dali Temple, maybe the old Taoist went to find Chen Guyue to make superficial articles.Unexpectedly, just after coming out of Room 36, and before reaching the main hall, he bumped into the old Taoist who came back from nowhere.

Shen Yu didn't say much, and dragged the old Taoist to his house, and after closing the doors and windows, she asked: "The case of Lao Cai's Baohua Pavilion is also closed, where have you been wandering around all day?"

The old Taoist went to the couch, took off his shoes and said, "The villain complained first, and the teacher hasn't questioned you yet. Now you have to take care of the teacher's business. Where did you go when you didn't come back last night?"

Shen Yuxin rolled her eyes, and said with a chuckle: "This day and night for my apprentice can be described as thrilling. Master is the greatest. Naturally, you are the first to say that this matter for apprentice is a bit complicated. I will talk to master slowly after a while." .”

The old Taoist snorted coldly: "Do you still dare to negotiate conditions with the teacher?" The old Taoist tapped the coffee table a few times with two fingers, and Shen Yu understood, and hurriedly offered tea to the old Taoist, "Forget it, I have to deal with you in the first place." As you said, His Majesty summoned the teacher early this morning, saying that he wanted to keep the child Zhao Bo in the palace, but after all, that girl Helian was the one who led the matter back then, so he asked the teacher to think of a safe way , so that Zhao Bo can stay in the right place."

Shen Yuxin was taken aback when she heard that, "Why keep him here? Could it be that His Majesty wants to..."

The old Taoist interrupted with a wave of his hand, took a sip of tea, and said in displeasure: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. I have been in the palace for five or six years as a teacher and have never easily guessed the Sacred Will. Why are you meddling with such nosy things!"

Shen Yuxin didn't want to annoy the old man at this juncture, so she nodded obediently.The old Taoist sighed softly, stared at the tea in his hand, and said sadly: "This palace is doomed to be chaotic, Old Ghost Chen is right in saying that manpower can be humane, and the emperor and the fate of the country should live and die together, and they should follow the way of heaven. There are four words for family, country and world, and only home is one's own."

Seeing that the old Taoist was in a daze, Shen Yuxin called softly: "Master, then let's..."

"It's hard." The old Taoist only said two words, and then fell into silence again.

Shen Yu thought about it for a moment, and still said: "Master, my disciple rescued a girl yesterday. She was born in Pei's family in Jiangnan County. Originally, the disciple prepared a piece of clothing for the empress at the birthday banquet. This girl rushed to make clothes for the disciple. In the middle of the night, he went back to the house to get the fabrics, and accidentally ran into Zhao Ye and Miss Qu at the Babaili Kiln. Now, it is placed in Song Mingyue's residence."

"What are you talking about!?" The old Taoist's cloudy eyes suddenly burst into a sharp breath, he slapped the table, and said angrily, "Confused! Confused! How can you save that girl!"

Shen Yuxin straightened her back, frowned and said: "The apprentice and that girl are like sisters, how can they see death without saving them!"

"Stupid!" the old man snapped, furious as never before, "Don't talk about the Pei family in Jiangnan, so what if it's a century-old family in Longcheng! You saved her, but did you ever think of harming her?" Her family! Jiangnan County is only a hundred miles away from the capital, and you are the dead man of the Shang Gongsun family who can be chased day and night!"

Shen Yu suddenly felt five thunderbolts in her heart, her heart was frantic, and her face was bewildered.For this precious apprentice, the old Taoist still feels more distressed than blamed, and softened his words: "There is only one way now, you send her back, wherever she came from. You and the girl made it clear that if she is a Those who are sensible will agree."

If the Ganxingcao hadn't been thrown away, Shen Yu would still have the confidence to fight, but right now it's like a bare-handed martial artist who has no chance of winning against Zhao Ye, who is also evenly matched but holds a magic weapon.

Shen Yuxin sat down on the high chair, and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to present this matter to His Majesty?"

The old Taoist smiled treacherously, "You really think His Majesty doesn't know?"

Shen Yu's heart was shocked again, and she looked up at the old man in surprise, speechless.The old Taoist sighed deeply, got up and walked to Shen Yuxin's side, stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't think that the queen can cover the sky with one hand in the palace. If it is not for His Majesty's permission, how can she do what she wants."

This reckless emperor is serious, he hides his secrets!

"Since Your Majesty already knows, why do you indulge Zhao Ye like this..." Shen Yu was halfway through her words, and suddenly realized, "Could it be because of the Gongsun family?"

The old Taoist remained silent, lay back on the couch again, closed his eyes and meditated and said: "Xiao Xuanzhong claimed to have won the sacred heart and presumed the holy will, Chu Yancheng thought of the favor of the Gongsun family, and both of them thought that your majesty wanted to establish the eldest son of the emperor. For storage, but the truth was not the case back then."

"Master, would you like to elaborate?" Shen Yuxin asked cautiously.It's just that there is nowhere to go after breaking through the iron shoes. If we can understand the grievances and grievances, there may be a turning point for Pei Lanxi's matter.

How can an old man not know her thoughts, but now Shen Yuxin can no longer stay out of the matter, knowing more is not harmful.If she had known about the Gongsun family earlier, perhaps the daughter of the Pei family would not have fallen into the current situation.

Thinking of this, the old Taoist was not in Tibet, and said eloquently: "It is true that the Gongsun family helped His Majesty back then, but it was not as willing to help as the outside world said. It was Gongsun Xu who forced him to die. At first, the old Patriarch only gave fifty war horses. After Hu Kui's army expanded to tens of thousands of horses, the old man licked his face again and flattered him. Not only did he agree to help him with all his strength, he was also willing to marry his daughter to her. Your Majesty and Gongsun Xu had already agreed with each other, and they had already agreed to life in private. At that time, your majesty He is also a bloody Fang Gang. Because of his previous personal grievances, he threatened to ask the Gongsun family to give a dowry of ten thousand taels of gold. The Gongsun family agreed, but secretly bought a lot of assassins in the rivers and lakes, intending to usurp the power of Hu Kui's army. At that time, His Majesty was attacking Huaiyang County At that time, the road was attacked by surprise, and Gongsun's family blocked the sword for His Majesty at that time, and died fragrantly, leaving behind a posthumous son Zhao Ye. Most people don't know that Zhao Ye grew up in Qingyang, Xiangzhou when he was young, until Hu Kui The army broke through Longcheng, and the 21 prefectures divided the two dynasties before taking him back to the palace."

"He hates His Majesty?" Shen Yuxin seemed to be asking the old Taoist, but also asking herself.

"The Gongsun family naturally has resentment towards His Majesty. Not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, the Gongsun family wanted to move their family to Longcheng and the lion opened their mouths. Not only will they be the highest-ranking imperial relatives in the Southern Jin Dynasty, but all Gongsun's children will enter official careers in the future. His Majesty naturally disapproved, tearing his face, and became the current feud." The old man avoids the serious and ignores the trivial, obviously unwilling to say a word about Zhao Ye's matter.

Shen Yuxin couldn't help being taken aback, "So, there must be a backer behind this Gongsun family, maybe it's the Northern Jin imperial family?"

The old Taoist opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yuxin with relief, and said, "So, you understand why His Majesty has been pampering Zhao Ye."

To Zhao Zongqian, the Gongsun clan was like a poisonous thorn in his heart, and pulling it out rashly without detoxification would definitely leave a root of disaster.Shen Yu's heart suddenly became clear, "So, His Majesty is waiting for the right time, so that he can make it happen?"

The old Taoist closed his eyes again, "Which king has never been ambitious."

The confusion was solved, and Shen Yu's mind became much calmer.Anyone surnamed Zhao could bear the matter of Baohua Pavilion, and the Pei family in Jiangnan would not care about it.The most important thing right now is to keep Zhao Ye safe. Since Pei Lanxuan lived in a private house outside the city for a while and is still safe and sound, it shows that Zhao Ye did not intend to kill at first, so there is still room for maneuver in this matter.Moreover, now that the positions of the two are reversed, Shen Yuxin has a handle on Zhao Ye.

Shen Yuxin restrained her thoughts, licked her lips, and said hesitantly: "Master, I still have something to report."

"speak."

"Did you pick the sweet star grass in the flower garden?"

The old Taoist was silent for a moment, then suddenly sat up, staring and said: "Someone stole Ganxingcao!?"

On this day, Shen Yuxin finally saw the old Taoist's unscrupulous methods. The little servants in the courtyard were originally close to the old Taoist a lot, but now everyone was frightened and cried a lot.The old Taoist cursed useless things while sighing.

After dinner, Shen Yuxin went to Jitian Palace alone, and Lu Buying, who was obedient to her duty, wanted to follow her, so she obediently went back to her room to rest after begging for a scolding.But he didn't know that Mrs. Song Pangji took him to seek justice for him. Hearing that Shen Yu was in danger to save people, she would be reprimanded if she didn't ask anything else.

"Oh, don't talk about me, you can't just sit idly by, otherwise you would definitely save people." Shen Yuxin stuffed a plum into her mouth and pouted sourly.

From Song Mingyue's point of view, this was blatantly ignoring her words and keeping silent in anger.Shen Yu thought that coaxing left and right to please did not work, so she could only say: "If you ignore me again, I will leave."

This trick really worked, Song Mingyue immediately shot two vicious glances, "Where are you going?"

Shen Yuxin continued to provoke, "Naturally, I want to meet the eldest son of the emperor who knows nothing about heaven and earth."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Song Mingyue grabbed her hand eagerly, and said loudly: "Don't go! I think you really don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

Shen Yuxin pretended to be cute, "You stay in Jitian Palace all day long, and you don't see you go to Qingmo Academy to give me advice, then I can only go to the dark one way!"

Song Mingyue's beautiful black eyebrows raised, "So, it's still mine, isn't it?"

Naturally, Shen Yuxin didn't dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and said with a giggle: "How can you blame me, blame me."

Song Mingyue glanced at her, and suddenly asked for no reason: "You risked your life to save the beauty, but do you have intentions for her?"

Shen Yuxin was dumbfounded.
