Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

Silence, the two fell into a strange silence at the same time.

Xiao Shen stood where he was, seemingly calm and composed on the surface, but his heart was in a state of turmoil. His mind was spinning fast, trying to find a reasonable excuse to explain where this damned parrot learned the obscene language.

"It..." Shen Qingzhuo was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe his ears, "What did it say just now?"

Even though his needs in that area are very low, he is not an innocent young man who doesn't understand human affairs. The last two sentences that the parrot learned, especially the trembling final sound, are vivid, clearly when a man does that kind of thing...

and many more!

Shen Qingzhuo frowned, the parrot kept calling Mr., it is self-evident who he learned from, then——

"You grandson!" At this time, the parrot spoke again, aimed at His Royal Highness, flapping its wings and cursing vigorously, "Grandson! Grandson!"

As usual, when a bird pointed at his nose and scolded him, Xiao Shen would have pulled out its feathers and roasted them to eat, but in today's situation, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are the grandson of the turtle!" He immediately pretended to be angry, and childishly scolded the parrot in the cage, "No, you are the grandson of the bird! You are the grandson of the bird!"

The parrot scolded back: "Damn! Damn!"

"Dead bird! Dead bird!" Xiao Shen wanted to go into the cage to catch the bird, but he was pecked by the parrot.

"Aw!" Xiao Shen yelled in pain, immediately raised his injured hand in front of Mr., and complained, "Sir! This damned parrot learned some curse words from somewhere, yet dares to peck my hand!"

The shock in Shen Qingzhuo's heart was washed away by the little apprentice's childish behavior. Looking down, he saw that the back of his hand was red and swollen. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you competing with a bird?"

"It scolded me!" Xiao Shen raised his hand a little higher, and said in an aggrieved tone, "No wonder no matter how I teach it, it doesn't talk. Co-authoring only learns bad but not good!"

"Didn't the queen mother give you this parrot?" Shen Qingzhuo also wondered, "Who did you learn from?"

"Could it be that the empress dowager scolded me behind my back every day, and was learned by this parrot?" Xiao Shen said angrily, "I'll roast this bird right away, and make it up for sir!"

"Hey, don't, don't..." Shen Qingzhuo quickly persuaded, "The queen mother rewarded you with a parrot, do you dare to roast it?"

Xiao Shen pursed his lips: "But look at it, it doesn't say anything good."

Shen Qingzhuo said with a smile: "It's not all bad words, didn't it just praise you for being beautiful and great?"

"I didn't teach it." Xiao Shen had calmed down, and said without changing his face, "I was in the study and martial arts arena during the day, and I was afraid of noise at night, so I handed it over to the palace people to really teach it. It doesn't have much time."

Shen Qingzhuo suddenly realized, maybe those palace people said some nonsense in private, which was learned by this unscrupulous parrot.

but--

The little eunuch's belongings are gone, will it make a... sound like "稥稥"?

"Hiss..." Seeing Mr. showing a thoughtful expression again, Xiao Shen hastily interrupted his thoughts, "It hurts, my hand hurts..."

Shen Qingzhuo came back to his senses, looking at the unbroken hand, feeling a little helpless.

But rather than saying that the little apprentice has become more and more coquettish in recent years, it is better to say that he just wants to take the opportunity to act coquettishly to himself.

"Okay, Mr. Huhu, Huhu, it won't hurt anymore." Shen Qingzhuo's tone was as gentle as coaxing a child, and he solemnly took the young man's bony hands, brought them to his lips, and blew gently.

The warm and fragrant breath brushed over the back of his hand like a feather, Xiao Shen's back stiffened, and he felt an unspeakable numbness exploding from the skin on the back of his hand, and then transmitted to the brain through the blood and meridians. He was so comfortable that he couldn't help but groan Out loud: "Ugh..."

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingzhuo raised his eyes, "Does it still hurt?"

Xiao Shen: "No—"

"It's so comfortable! Ah! It's so comfortable!" The nasty parrot yelled alive and kicking again.

Xiao Shen turned his face away, his eyes pierced the parrot viciously like a knife.

When the master leaves, let's see how he plucks the dead bird's hair one by one!

"This little parrot is really being taught to be crooked." Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help laughing, let go of his hand and walked to the cage, stretching out his hand to tease the bird.

Xiao Shen's eyes tightened: "Sir, be careful!"

However, before he could pull his husband away, he saw the parrot tilting its head and rubbing against the back of his hand, and continued to shout: "Sir! Sir!"

Xiao Shen: "..."

This damn bird actually has two faces!

"However, parrots are very smart birds. If you teach it patiently, it will be easy to break back." The fluffy little head rubbed against his hand, and the touch felt wonderful. Shen Qingzhuo laughed, and gently stroked the colorful parrot Colorful feathers.

He couldn't help thinking of his little apprentice, who had grown from a crooked sapling to a handsome and heroic young man, and patient guidance was indispensable.

Xiao Shen stared at the bird gloomyly, but responded obediently: "Yes, sir."

Shen Qingzhuo turned around, "By the way, did you name it?"

"Not yet." The boy's complexion suddenly turned cloudy, and he said with a smile, "Let's call it a silly bird."

The parrot seemed to have become a genius, and immediately scolded: "Grandson! Grandson!"

Xiao Shen pointed at it and threatened: "You try to curse again?"

Shen Qingzhuo had to fight one person and one bird: "Okay, stop arguing, sir, come and name it."

Xiao Shen: "This dead bird is also worthy!"

"Why don't you just call it...Xiaoba." Shen Qingzhuo thought for a while, and smiled, "Simple and easy to remember, with a homonym of eight, the meaning is also good."

Xiao Shen's face darkened immediately, and he protested, "Sir!"

"What's the matter?" Shen Qingzhuo pretended not to understand, then turned to tease the parrot again, "Xiao Ba, we must get along well with Brother Xiao Qi from now on."

The parrot immediately learned: "Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi!"

"Sir!" Xiao Shen yelled angrily, threw himself backwards, and hugged Mr., "How can...how can you compare me to a bird?"

"Look at you being wronged." Shen Qingzhuo turned his face slightly, raised his hand to pinch his swollen cheek, and said with a smile, "Since you raised it, you have to be responsible for it. It's just a nickname, don't do that You're petty."

In fact, the moment Xiao Shen hugged her husband, the unhappiness in Xiao Shen's heart disappeared without a trace.

He rested his chin on the neck of the gentleman, sniffed the pleasant smell of the gentleman secretly, and asked in a low voice: "Then will the gentleman be responsible for me to the end after raising me?"

Shen Qingzhuo was startled, as if he didn't expect the little apprentice to ask such a question.

"Huh?" Xiao Shen tightened his arms and asked impatiently, "Will the master be responsible for me to the end?"

"How do you think I'm responsible for you?" Shen Qingzhuo withdrew his gaze, "Sir, isn't that good enough for you?"

Enough, but also not enough.

Relying on Mr. Chou not being able to see him, his obsidian-like eyes were gloomy, but the young man deliberately asked in an innocent and coquettish tone: "I'm talking about being responsible to the end, Mr. will stay with me for the rest of my life, right?"

This time, Shen Qingzhuo fell silent.

As time went by, Xiao Shen's heart sank more and more until it sank into a bottomless abyss.

"It's been a lifetime, what do you want to go so far away?" Shen Qingzhuo said again, with a slightly erratic tone, "Isn't Mister accompanying you right now? Besides, Mister wants to watch you board the Dragon Throne with his own eyes."

The Adam's apple rolled, and Xiao Shen half-truthfully said: "I don't care, since the husband has raised me, then I belong to the husband. If the husband wants to get rid of me as a burden, he can't do it!"

Shen Qingzhuo didn't answer directly, but pulled his arm away, and directly diverted the conversation elsewhere, "By the way, sir has always said to find time to test your homework, choosing a day is worse than hitting the day, let's just say today."

The puppy's face suddenly collapsed, "Can't it be another day?"

Mr. finally came to him once, he just wanted to hug Mr....

"What? Sir, you still have to pick a date for the exam?" Shen Qingzhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Or, have you not studied hard recently?"

Xiao Shen replied sternly: "How is it possible? Just take the exam, sir!"

"Fool! Fool!" cried the parrot.

Xiao Shen: "..."

This dead bird will be roasted by him sooner or later!

***

The next day, Shen Qingzhuo led Jin Yiwei's brothers to search the various palaces, and the palaces were caught off guard.

Same as Pei Shaofu's guess, Shen Qingzhuo also believes that the murderer is still hiding in the palace.But in the past few days, Jin Yiwei almost turned the palace upside down, but they didn't even find anyone.

Then, only the residences of the empresses and princes in the palaces were left unsearched.

Shen Qingzhuo was dressed in a red flying fish suit, with his slender fingers resting on the Xiuchun scabbard, standing in front of the Fengyi Palace with a graceful posture.

Kong Shang yelled sharply: "Jinyiwei is ordered to search for the criminals, so hurry up and get out of the way!"

"Search if you say search? Do you have any documents?" The leading eunuch said not to be outdone, "There are no prisoners in Fengyi Palace. If Jin Yiwei ran into Empress Fengjia, would you be able to bear the responsibility?"

"You—" Kong Shang half-drawn the Xiuchun Knife, and was about to hit it hard, but Master Shen stopped him with a gesture.

Shen Qingzhuo smiled slightly, and said warmly: "This father-in-law, Jin Yiwei is also on an errand under the order of the sage, please trouble the father-in-law to inform the concubine Xian."

The eunuch glanced at the gold medal hanging on his waist, his arrogance restrained, "My lord, please wait a moment."

"Bah! Give them a face!" Kong Shang spat, "If you're so arrogant, it's best not to be caught by us."

Shen Qingzhuo smiled but said nothing.

After a while, the third prince Xiao Hongyao came out, his brows slightly frowned, "Lord Shen, what is the meaning of this?"

"Third Highness." Shen Qingzhuo cupped his hands and saluted, "Jin Yiwei was ordered by the Holy Majesty to search for the murderer who killed Pan Changgong."

Xiao Hongyao's expression remained unchanged: "Then Master Shen has found the wrong place, the murderer cannot be hiding in Fengyi Palace."

"It's just a routine search, Your Highness, don't need to be nervous." Shen Qingzhuo straightened his waist, and said with a faint smile, "Please, Your Highness, for your convenience."

Xiao Hongyao's eyes darkened, he sized him up several times, and finally turned sideways to give in, "Please—"

Shen Qingzhuo made a gesture, and Kong Shang rushed into the gate of the palace with Jin Yiwei, and searched in all directions in a well-trained manner.

Xiao Hongyao stood beside Lord Zhenfu, seemingly casually asking: "Master Shen, is there any new progress in the case of Pan Chong?"

"This is Beizhen Fushi's secret, I'm sorry I can't tell you." Shen Qingzhuo gave him an apologetic look.

"No problem." Xiao Hongyao smiled generously, and asked again, "Then today, Master Shen was the first to search Fengyi Palace? Can you say that?"

Shen Qingzhuo shook his head: "That's not the case."

Xiao Hongyao guided quietly: "Could it be that Mr. Shen is searching randomly?"

"Of course not." Shen Qingzhuo shook his head subconsciously, "Fengyi Palace is next to the East Palace, so it is convenient for Jin Yiwei to search together."

Xiao Hongyao grasped the key words in an instant, and immediately asked: "Eastern Palace? Why are you the first to search the Eastern Palace?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "The maid who murdered came from—"

The ending ended abruptly, Mr. Shen knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, I have to congratulate the Third Highness in advance."

Xiao Hongyao narrowed his eyes: "Why did Mr. Shen say that?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "The humble official heard yesterday that the Holy One intends to bestow land on the throne for His Highness the Third Highness."

Hearing this, Xiao Hongyao's expression froze slightly.

According to the practice of the Dayong imperial family, the princes lived in the palace with their mother and concubine since they were young. Except for the prince, the princes who reached the age of one would be exiled to the fiefdom. Only a very small number of princes could stay in Shengjing.

For example, the first prince, Emperor Guangxi took pity on him for his frailty and sickness, so he opened a palace in Shengjing for him to live in, and the second prince was the crown prince, so he naturally lived in the East Palace all the time.After that, there will be the third prince Xiao Hongyao.

Xiao Hongyao was full the year before last, but Emperor Guangxi did not propose to divide the land for the king, so he raised the remaining sons in the palace.

And once the princes build the palace, they cannot leave their fief easily without the emperor's summons.This also means that the third prince must give up his long-running contacts in the court and lose the qualification to compete for the crown prince if he becomes the queen.

Unless he develops his own power in the fief and fights all the way back to Shengjing, this will inevitably be charged with the crime of regicide and usurpation of the throne.

Sure enough, there was no trace of joy on Xiao Hongyao's face, and he asked in a deep voice: "Master Shen is serious? Father did he say so himself?"

"This..." Shen Qingzhuo hesitated for a moment.

Xiao Hongyao: "Lord Shen, it's okay to say, Your Highness enters in the left ear and exits in the right ear."

Shen Qingzhuo lowered his voice and replied: "Yesterday, Mr. Cao, the second minister of the cabinet, and the Holy Spirit mentioned that His Highness the Third Highness has reached his age, but he has been living in the palace and not going to the fief, which is not in accordance with the etiquette."

Xiao Hongyao reluctantly pulled the corner of his lips: "So that's how it is."

"The lowly position also overheard it. If I accidentally slipped my mouth, please forget it after hearing it." Shen Qingzhuo cupped his hands, "If the Holy Majesty has an idea, he will definitely inform His Highness as soon as possible."

In just two sentences, Xiao Hongyao put on his handsome smile again, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, my Highness will pretend that I have never heard of it today."

Shen Qingzhuo nodded slightly.

At this moment, Kong Shang came out from the hall and replied: "My lord, no criminal was found."

"That's natural. How could Fengyi Palace hide prisoners?" Shen Qingzhuo ordered lightly, "Let the brothers withdraw."

"Yes, my lord." Kong Shang turned around and shouted, "Withdraw!"

The Jin Yiwei with the sword immediately evacuated Fengyi Palace in an orderly manner.

Shen Qingzhuo cupped his hands again, and said politely: "I disturbed the empress and His Highness today, and I will come to the door again in a humble position to personally apologize to Your Highness."

Xiao Hongyao smiled and said, "Your Majesty Shen is too polite, please walk slowly."

Watching the square and graceful figure leave, Xiao Hongyao's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

He walked quickly to the middle hall, and when he stepped into the door of the hall, he called out: "Mother Concubine."

"He's gone?" Concubine Xian half-lyed on the imperial concubine's couch and dozed off, with maidservants kneeling on both sides playing fans.

"Let's go." Xiao Hongyao sat down at the desk, took a sip of cold tea, his expression was still ugly.

"What's the matter?" Concubine Xian glanced at her son and said, "This Shen Qingzhuo is a wonderful person. Now he is in the limelight in front of the emperor, and at the same time he is in charge of Jinyiwei and Beizhen Fusi, but he can't see a little bit of him. pride."

Xiao Hongyao: "Because of this, doesn't my concubine think he is scary?"

"If he is our enemy, he is certainly worth guarding against." Concubine Xian smiled and said meaningfully, "But right now, we can use him to deal with Donggong."

"East Palace?" Xiao Hongyao squeezed the teacup in his hand, signaled the two maidservants to back down, and then said, "Just now Shen Qingzhuo accidentally slipped the tongue, Cao Ren spoke in front of the father, urging the father to release the son and minister to the fief as soon as possible .”

"What?" Concubine Xian couldn't lie down anymore, and cursed, "Cao Ren, that old man!"

"It seems that the East Palace can't hold back and is going to attack us." Xiao Hongyao put the teacup on the table again, "Mother Concubine, I have swallowed my anger for so many years, is it just for a small fiefdom?"

Concubine Xian snorted coldly: "Do you want to drive you out of the palace? Dreaming!"

Xiao Hongyao sneered: "Brother Erhuang didn't wipe his butt clean before he did anything to me."

Concubine Xian was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that my son has caught the prince's handle?"

"It doesn't matter whether you caught Donggong or not." Xiao Hongyao said blankly, "Since Jin Yiwei couldn't catch the prisoner, I will find a way to create evidence to give Donggong the name of murder."

***

When Fengyi Palace was plotting, Shen Qingzhuo led Jin Yiwei to Changle Palace.

As soon as he appeared at the gate of the hall, the little eunuch who guarded the gate opened his mouth and shouted: "Young Master Shen! You are here!"

"Bold!" Kong Shang yelled, "You little eunuch, what kind of relationship do you have with Mr. Shen?"

The little eunuch had never seen such a battle before, he stammered in fright: "Slave, I dare not..."

"Okay, Kong Qianhu, don't scare people wherever you go." Shen Qingzhuo cursed with a smile, as a relief for the little eunuch.

Kong Shang took a step back, and replied embarrassingly, "Yes, my lord."

Shen Qingzhuo raised his chin slightly, and signaled him: "Take someone in to search, and follow the rules, don't have any scruples."

However, the next moment, Xiao Shen, who got the news, happened to stride out of the palace gate.

"First—" he subconsciously called out, but when he caught the half-smile in Mr.'s eyes, he changed his words instantly, "Master Shen."

As if feeling that this title was very new, Xiao Shen called out again: "I don't know why Mr. Shen is here?"

"At the order of the Holy Majesty, search for the criminals." Shen Qingzhuo lazily picked up the gold medal at his waist and showed it to him, "His Royal Highness, can I help you?"

He was dressed in a flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and behind him stood two majestic guards in brocade clothes with swords. Although Mr. Shen was weak and smiling, no one in the entire palace dared to despise him.

This is the first time Xiao Shen sees Mr. as the leader of Jinyiwei, when he is performing official duties, he is obviously familiar with him, but his temperament is completely different from his private one.

How should I put it, it made him want to be in public...

Offend?

He secretly ground his back molars, deliberately slowed down his speech, and said provocatively, "If it's Your Highness, it's not convenient?"

Master Shen's smile remained unchanged, but that smile did not reach the slightly upturned peach blossom eyes.His voice was gentle and contemptuous, but somehow there was a sharp murderous look, "Your Highness, don't blame Jin Yiwei for being rude."

As soon as the words were finished, the two rows of Jinyi guards standing behind them pulled out the embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists in unison.

The author has something to say:

Little Wolf Cub: "offended" Mr. Play in public...

Shen Qingzhuo: The little apprentice's acting skills are getting better and better, I want to cooperate.
