Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

Some people wake up in a dream, some people can't sleep at night.

In the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace, Xiao Yichen, who was dressed in normal clothes, paced back and forth with an anxious and uneasy expression.

The guards who were ordered to search entered the door, and before they had time to report back, His Royal Highness asked impatiently, "Have you found anyone?"

"This subordinate is incompetent." The guard bowed his head in shame and pleaded guilty, "The maid seems to have evaporated from the world, and my subordinates have searched for it to no avail."

"Trash!" Xiao Yichen flicked his sleeves violently, and said angrily, "I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die. I can't bear this black pot!"

"Your Highness, calm down." Pei Shaofu was as calm as ever, "There is a ban in the palace, and it will be even more so after the incident. If that maid is still alive, she must be hiding in a corner of the palace right now, unable to fly out."

Xiao Yichen's tone was gloomy: "That means, this lowly maidservant has helpers!"

"It's obvious that someone is going to frame the East Palace." Pei Yanqi got up from the chair, and gently persuaded, "It's an eventful time, the more it is like this, the more you need to keep calm, Your Highness."

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, but still couldn't help but said angrily: "The queen mother has been abolished, and now Gu is almost charged with murder! How can you keep calm if you want Gu?"

"Your Highness, the best policy is to stay still." Pei Yanqi's tone was as calm as water, with a soothing force, "In this world, there is no flawless murder, and the real murderer will definitely leave relevant clues."

"That's the problem. This case was taken over by Jin Yiwei, and we couldn't find any clues to investigate." Xiao Yichen walked back to the high position, gritted his teeth and said, "Beizhen Fusi, it's Shen Qingzhuo again!"

Ever since the Chunsou trip, Shen Qingzhuo was appointed by his father as the governor of Beizhen, and the East Palace has never had a peaceful day!

Pei Yanqi paused, and said slowly, "Your Highness, maybe the third son is not our enemy."

"You still help him!" Xiao Yichen glared at Shaofu Pei, "Since he entered Beizhen Fusi, what has he done that is beneficial to us?"

Pei Shaofu: "Young Master Shen is acting according to His Majesty's orders, but at the moment it can't be seen that he is deliberately targeting the East Palace."

Xiao Yichen choked for a moment, and couldn't help but irritatedly said: "Young Fu Pei, he is no longer the helpless Shen Qingzhuo in the East Palace three years ago. How long has it been since you and him talked face to face?"

Pei Yanqi paused for a moment, then started another topic: "Strictly speaking, Mr. Shen is the only neutral person in the front and rear palaces."

Inside and outside the court, there are noble families, poor families, relatives and eunuchs, and various forces are intertwined. Only Shen Qingzhuo's foundation is still shallow, and he does not belong to any faction for the time being.

Xiao Yichen frowned: "What does Shaofu mean?"

"Neutral means that it can be used by anyone." Pei Yanqi analyzed unhurriedly, "Mr. Shen has Youbei behind him, and the Holy One in front of him. Now the court wants to win him over. side."

Xiao Yichen admitted: "What Shao Fu said, I will never refute it."

King Zhenbei's Youbei army was feared even by his father.

Pei Yanqi smiled slightly: "Since you can't move, why not let Mr. Shen be used by the East Palace?"

Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Young Fu, I can't see through him anymore."

If you can't see it, you can't guess it, if you can't guess it, you can't grasp it, if you can't grasp it, how dare you reuse it?

Pei Yanqi cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, let me have a try."

His Highness the Crown Prince's expression changed several times, and finally compromised: "If Shao Fu can let him be used by Gu, that would be great."

Pei Yanqi nodded in response: "I should do my best."

Xiao Yichen calmed down, took a sip of tea, and asked again: "Young Fu, who do you think is the real culprit behind this case?"

"I haven't seen any clues yet, so I don't dare to jump to conclusions." Pei Yanqi said thoughtfully, "The queen mother, the third prince, the fifth prince, and even the sixth prince and the seventh prince, all those who are coveting the position of the East Palace, have Possibly behind the scenes."

"Old Seven?" Xiao Yichen said in a disdainful tone, "Old Seven, that trash, he wouldn't dare to borrow ten of his guts!"

Pei Yanqi was noncommittal.

"It's the third brother...huh!" Xiao Yichen snorted coldly, and said in a dark tone, "Concubine Xian thinks that if she overthrows the queen, she can enter the central palace? Dreaming!"

For many years, his seemingly honest younger brother, the third emperor, has always seemingly inadvertently stealing his limelight, trying his best to express himself in front of his father, and has been eyeing his crown prince position.

That being the case, let's take Xiao Hongyao first!

***

Changle Palace.

Xiao Shen teased the parrot in the cage with the fruit in his hand. The parrot had gorgeous feathers and was pecking at the fruit with its red beak.

The little eunuch came in and reported: "Your Highness, there is a Mr. Qi asking to see you."

Xiao Shen raised his eyelashes, lazily replied: "Let him in."

After a while, Qi Xianlin strode into the inner hall, and when he saw him, he yelled loudly: "Your Highness, something serious happened!"

Xiao Shen turned his eyes slightly to one side, signaled the eunuch to go out, and closed the palace door, and then he replied unhurriedly: "What kind of event made my cousin so flustered?"

Qi Xianlin stepped forward a few steps, "Are you still thinking about playing with birds here? Pan Chong is dead!"

Xiao Shen stopped feeding the parrot, then turned his head in surprise, "Pan Chong died? When did it happen?"

"Just what happened two days ago." Qi Xianlin said excitedly, "He died in his own room, and was burned to charcoal by a fire!"

"Hiss..." Xiao Shen took a deep breath, "Who is so courageous?"

Qi Xianlin subconsciously looked around, lowered his voice and replied: "The news was blocked by Jin Yiwei, but I still heard some rumors that the fire was set by the maidservant of the East Palace!"

"This..." Xiao Shen was even more surprised, "How could this happen? You didn't send the maid—"

"Hush!" Qi Xianlin quickly stopped him, "I dare not say that now!"

"This matter is a bit troublesome." Xiao Shen threw the fruit and said seriously, "Pan Chong is the godson of Eunuch Su and the governor of the East Factory. I will order Beizhen Fusi to conduct a thorough investigation. In case, Jin Yiwei finds out that the maid was given to Pan Chong by you..."

Qi Xianlin was already worried, and he came here to seek relief. Hearing this, he became anxious like ants on a hot pot, "What should I do? It's none of my business! I just sold Pan Chong a favor, How did I know it would kill someone!"

Xiao Shen listened, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

His incomprehensible cousin, with a typical embroidered pillow and a bag of straw, relying on his surname Qi, with the support of the Queen Mother, got a commander of the Imperial Army to do his best in the palace.

The Dayong Forbidden Army was divided into three major battalions guarding the capital and the pro-army guarding the imperial city. When the late emperor was in power, he trusted the Forbidden Army.

It wasn't until his father succeeded to the throne that he discovered that the Qi family had already penetrated into the imperial army, so he gradually emptied the imperial city imperial army, singled out Jinyiwei, and distributed the power of the imperial army to Dongchang and Jinyiwei.So far, the Forbidden Army has become a idle job in name only, and it has also become a good place for the noble children of aristocratic families to eat and wait to die.

However, in the eyes of Xiao Shen at this moment, these gangs of wine bags and rice bags really have other uses.

Besides, at that time, he ordered Pan Dongsheng to remind Qi Xianlin in the open and in the dark, and after a few words of instigation, Qi Xianlin dazedly intervened, and cooperated with Eunuch Pan to put the maidservant of the East Palace in a sack and send her to Pan Chong's bed.

Of course, this idiot still doesn't know that the maid in the sack has already turned into him.

"Of course this matter has nothing to do with you!" Xiao Shen said sternly, "You just did Eunuch Pan a small favor, how would you know that maid wanted Pan Chong's life?"

"Yes, yes!" Qi Xianlin nodded repeatedly, and repeated, "It's none of my business!"

"But..." Xiao Shen changed the subject and said hesitantly, "But if Jin Yiwei really finds out about my cousin and determines that you are related to the murder case, then..."

"Then, what should I do then?" Qi Xianlin grabbed His Royal Highness's arm, "Cousin, you have to testify for me when the time comes!"

"Cousin, please calm down first." Xiao Shen shook his shoulder with one hand, "First of all, only you and Eunuch Pan know about this matter, as long as we don't tell it, Jin Yiwei will definitely not be able to find out about you. "

Qi Xianlin was uncertain: "Pan, Pan Dongsheng really won't confess me?"

Xiao Shen looked at him reassuringly, and said: "Secondly, isn't there a Queen Mother behind you? Grandma will protect you."

"The Empress Dowager... Sigh!" Qi Xianlin sighed heavily, "The Empress Dowager never likes troublesome juniors. Pan Chong's death is not a trivial matter. What if...it's hard to say, it's hard to say..."

Xiao Shen understood, patted his chest and promised: "Then, my cousin will leave this matter to me to settle it."

Qi Xianlin asked eagerly: "How does Your Highness plan to settle things?"

"People die for money, birds die for food, and money can make ghosts turn the mill." Xiao Shen turned around and went to feed the birds again, "Isn't he just Eunuch Pan? I will find a way to make him keep his mouth shut."

Seemingly awakened by these words, Qi Xianlin hesitated and said: "How about... we just put him—"

After all, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Only the mouth of the dead can never be pried open.

Xiao Shenmin glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Pan Chongcai just died, and Pan Dongsheng was the only witness. At this time, taking the risk of killing Pan Dongsheng will startle the snake, which is particularly eye-catching."

"It's true." Qi Xianlin said with a sad face, "The newly appointed Bei Zhenfu—wait a minute!"

Qi Xianlin clapped his hands and said, "Northern Governor Shen Junnuo, isn't he your Highness's husband?"

Xiao Shen responded calmly: "Yes. So, if there is any movement in Beizhen Fusi recently, I will find a way to inform you."

"Then it all depends on His Highness!" Qi Xianlin was completely relieved, and his thoughts became alive again, "Your Highness, can this bird speak human language?"

"How can it be so easy to teach a little animal that doesn't understand human nature?" Xiao Shen fiddled with the parrot's tail feathers boredly, "Cousin has come all the way, let's have a cup of hot tea before leaving."

"After talking for a long time, I'm really thirsty." Qi Xianlin sat down on the chair unceremoniously.

Xiao Shen raised his voice: "Come on!"

The palace maid who was guarding the gate of the palace entered in response, and Tingting bowed curtly: "Your Highness, my lord."

Qi Xianlin inadvertently took a look at her, and suddenly his eyes lit up, his naked eyes seemed to be nailed to the maid, anyone could see what was going on in his heart.

Xiao Shen twitched the corners of his lips, and asked casually: "Why, cousin fell in love with this little maid?"

Hearing the words, the court lady raised her timid almond eyes to look at Commander Qi, her beautiful and weak face exuded a delicate and pitiful charm.

Qi Xianlin smiled "hehe", and answered the wrong question: "There is such a beautiful woman hidden in the palace of Your Highness."

"Well, she looks pretty good." Xiao Shen looked at the maid carefully for the first time, and after a while, he waved his hand indifferently, "If cousin likes it, just take it back and serve her."

"This..." Qi Xianlin pretended to evade, "A gentleman doesn't take what others like, how can you be so mean?"

"My cousin and I are like a family, we don't distinguish between yours and mine." Xiao Shen nodded to the little maid, "Whether you want to serve Commander Qi or not, you can decide for yourself."

The little maid frowned, and after thinking for a while, she saluted again: "It's a slave's blessing to be able to serve Commander Qi."

Qi Xianlin laughed in satisfaction and said, "Okay! Good good good good good good good good good good!"

The corners of his mouth were smug, completely forgetting Pan Chong's lessons learned from the past.

Xiao Shen also laughed, but there was a coolness in his dark and gloomy eyes.

***

After sending the person away, Xiao Shen had just returned to the inner room when the eunuch's announcement came from outside the bedroom: "Your Highness, Mr. Shen is here!"

He trembled all over, and then jumped forward to meet him.

"It's weird, why did the little eunuch in your palace inform me today?" Shen Qingzhuo stepped into the inner hall with a trace of doubt on his face.

Usually when he entered Changle Palace, it was clearly as if he had entered a land without people.

Xiao Shen said nonsense without changing his face: "Who knows? Maybe it's to show that he is not just doing nothing."

"Sounds a bit reasonable." Shen Qingzhuo smiled, didn't delve into this question, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to gesture for the little apprentice, "Little Qi, you seem to be taller than your husband."

Xiao Shen immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Really?"

"My visual guess is—ah!" He let out a low cry, and was hugged by the little apprentice with his arms around his waist, and even turned around in a circle.

"I'm taller than my husband! I can protect my husband from now on!" The boy quickly put him down, rubbing his neck and sniffing excitedly.

"Aren't you energetic and have no place to use it?" Shen Qingzhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and slapped away the little dog who was flirting with him, "Stand up, sir, I have something to tell you."

"Ah?" Xiao Shen accepted it as soon as he saw it, let go of his hands and stood up straight, "What do you want to say, sir?"

Shen Qingzhuo straightened his clothes, and said in a flat tone: "There has been new progress in the case of Pan Chong. Your prince brother can't sit on the chair in the East Palace, so he wants to recruit Mr. An."

"What the hell?" Xiao Shen frowned quickly upon hearing this, "Has his brain been kicked by a donkey?"

"Pfft—" Shen Qingzhuo almost laughed out loud, "You're right, his brain was indeed kicked by a donkey."

Xiao Shen pursed his thin lips, and asked again: "Did you not agree, sir?"

"Even if I pretend to submit to the East Palace, the prince will not really believe it." Shen Qingzhuo waved his hand, "But I didn't refuse. What we have to fight now is psychological warfare."

After all, it was Pei Shaofu who came to persuade him, and the two of them spent a long time in vain, but failed to extract useful information from each other.

Therefore, he gave Shao Fu a plausible reply, you can understand it this way, or understand it that way.

But Xiao Shen didn't seem to understand, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "What do you want, Mister?"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs?" Shen Qingzhuo walked two steps into the hall, with a slightly cold tone, "Mr. wants to send His Highness the Crown Prince to accompany his queen mother earlier, and enjoy the family relationship to the fullest."

As soon as the words fell, the young man's phoenix eyes were lowered, and bloody killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Mr. and his thoughts coincided with each other.

However, he doesn't want Mr. to get into any danger...

"Mister! Sir!" At this moment, a crisp parrot sound suddenly came from my ear.

Shen Qingzhuo was startled, looking for the reputation, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Hey? Where did you get the parrot?"

"The Queen Mother gave it to me." Xiao Shen instantly suppressed the rage that surged in his eyes, "They said they raised a parrot to relieve boredom and amuse themselves, and they probably wish I could lose my mind."

"Speaking of the Empress Dowager, you don't go around the Empress Dowager's palace recently." Shen Qingzhuo reminded immediately, remembering the connection between Qi's case and Pan Chong's case.

"Okay." Xiao Shen's heart skipped a beat, he strolled to the cage, changed the subject, "But it's strange, I've raised this parrot for several days, no matter how I teach it to speak, it doesn't learn how to speak, today I saw Mr. , even willing to speak."

Shen Qingzhuo laughed: "Really?"

"Really!" Xiao Shen teased the parrot with great interest, "Say a few more words?"

It's a pity that the parrot closed its beak tightly, as if it didn't want to talk to him.

Shen Qingzhuo also walked over, "Didn't you call me Mr. just now? Maybe your teaching method is wrong, be patient."

"Sir! Sir!" As soon as the words finished, the parrot called out to him again, "Sir, you are so beautiful!"

"Huh?" Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help being amused by the parrot, "Xiao Qi, you don't need to teach, this parrot can talk very well."

The corners of his lips raised unconsciously, and the boy's tone was a little sincerely proud: "Look, even this silly parrot knows how beautiful Mister is."

Shen Qingzhuo let out a soft "tsk", and joked with a smile: "It is true that someone raises such a bird, the parrot raised by Xiao Qi is as sweet-mouthed as Xiao Qi."

The parrot seemed to be encouraged, nodded its red-haired head, and spoke more vigorously: "Mr. is so beautiful! Mister is so good! Ah! So comfortable~"

The last word "ah" prolongs the tone, and the trembling ending sound sounds indescribable...

Ecstasy?

The corners of the boy's upturned lips froze suddenly.

Xiao Shen: "!"

Shen Qingzhuo: "?"

The author has something to say:

Xiaoqi: Sir!Let me explain!It's not what you think!

Mr.: What do I think...

The scene of the big car rollover of the little wolf cub hahahahaha!
