Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

There was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.

Xiao Shen stood on the stone steps, staring at Lord Zhenfu standing in front of the hall with burning eyes.

It was clear that he was standing on a high place, but the man's beautiful chin was slightly raised, and there was a smile on his bright red lips. His posture was calm and disdainful, as if everything in this world would be trampled under his feet carelessly.

At this moment, Xiao Shen suddenly understood a truth, someone is born to be superior, it has nothing to do with where he stands.

It turned out that from beginning to end, he was the one who looked up to his husband.

In a blink of an eye, the Seventh Prince's handsome face burst into a smile, and then he turned sideways and made a "please" gesture, and said in his mouth: "Just kidding, how can His Highness refuse to give Master Shen's face?"

The palace people of Changle Palace breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Hearing this, Shen Qingzhuo raised his right hand and drew a graceful arc in midair with his green fingers.

Jin Yiwei got the order, the Xiuchun knife was sheathed again, and rushed into the gate of the palace under Kong Qianhu's command.

Shen Qingzhuo stood where he was, the strangeness deliberately created in his eyes gradually faded away, seeing no one around, he hooked his fingers towards His Highness the Seventh Prince.

For Xiao Shen, this action has formed a conditioned reflex engraved in his bones.He almost ran down the stone steps without hesitation, barely stopping in front of Mr.

Master Shen said with a smile: "I didn't scare you just now, did I?"

"No." Xiao Shen shook his head honestly, trying to restrain himself from showing fanatical infatuation.

"That's good." Shen Qingzhuo paused for a moment, and couldn't help praising, "The acting is not bad. Look at it, sir. The others are really bluffed by you."

That defiant little overlord appearance exudes the aura of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

Xiao Shen pursed his thin lips, and replied in a low voice with a shy expression: "Mr. is the real one."

Almost made him lose his temper in public.

"Very good." Shen Qingzhuo casually tapped the scabbard with his fingertips, "The news that you and my master and apprentice are not getting along, probably will spread throughout the entire palace by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Xiao Shen paused, and lowered his voice extremely low: "Sir, have you found anything today?"

"Of course it can't be found out, the murderer is not that stupid." Shen Qingzhuo's eyes stayed in the palace, paying attention to the situation inside at any time, "But it doesn't matter, today's search of the palaces is just a cover."

Xiao Shen frowned slightly, puzzled and said: "Then Mr.—"

"Someone is back." Shen Qingzhuo directly interrupted the little apprentice, and took two steps forward, "How is the situation?"

Kong Shang cupped his hands and replied, "My lord, I haven't found anyone suspicious."

"How can there be suspicious people in the palace of His Highness?" At this time, the Seventh Prince opened his mouth slowly, "Kong Qianhu, have you checked enough?"

Kong Shang: "Your Highness Seventh, the humble job is just to do errands by order."

"Hmph." Xiao Shen flicked his sleeves, and said sarcastically, "Don't think I don't know, don't you just bully my Highness and ignore him?"

Kong Shang has always been straight and irritable. Hearing this, he almost became anxious. He glanced at Mr. Shen several times before he endured it. He replied in a deep voice, "I don't dare for a humble job."

Not giving His Royal Highness the opportunity to continue to make trouble unreasonably, Shen Qingzhuo ordered: "Okay, let the brothers withdraw."

After a while, Jin Yiwei lined up again.

Xiao Shen stared at Lord Zhenfu intently, and suddenly invited: "Master Shen, why don't you come into the humble house and have a cup of hot tea?"

"I still have official duties in my humble position, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time." Shen Qingzhuo slightly nodded, "I will come to the door another day, and apologize to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

"In that case, let's go slowly." Xiao Shen smiled, "Next time, His Highness will definitely treat Lord Shen well."

So led by Shen Qingzhuo, Jin Yiwei evacuated from Changle Palace in a mighty manner.

On the way back, Kong Shang couldn't help but feel sorry for his lord and said, "My lord, why does His Highness the Seventh Highness treat you like this? Anyway, you have taught him for several years."

Shen Qingzhuo smiled lightly: "How is it?"

"You don't respect the teacher at all!" Kong Shangyu said angrily, "It's just an unfavored seventh prince who thinks he—"

Shen Qingzhuo paused and called out, "Kong Shang."

Kong Shang stopped talking, he was a little confused, so he asked, "What are your orders?"

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is no longer favored, he is also a prince, the son of the Holy Majesty." Master Shen said in a low tone, "It's not up to us courtiers to teach you a lesson, understand?"

Kong Shang's back felt cold for a moment, and he quickly bowed to plead guilty: "Your Excellency taught you the right thing."

Lord Zhenfu always had smiling eyes on weekdays, and he was gentle and polite to everyone, but everyone in Jin Yiwei knew that this Lord Shen was far from being as talkative as he seemed.

"You have been with me for a while. Although you have been promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households, you have not improved at all." Shen Qingzhuo asked slowly, with an unpredictable expression, "Do you think that Jinyiwei is very prestigious now, who Don't you have to pay attention to it?"

"The villain dare not!" Kong Shang immediately knelt down on one knee, "Everything that the subordinates have is given by the adults, so don't dare!"

"A companion is like a tiger, never forget your pride." Shen Qingzhuo looked down at him, "Today Jin Yiwei can swagger into the palaces to search, relying on the emperor's grace, not others. Jin Yiwei is really afraid, understand?"

As the sun was setting, a layer of sweat oozed out of Kong Shang's forehead, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off. He said in a shameful tone, "Your subordinate understands."

"Just understand." Shen Qingzhuo turned around and continued to walk forward, "Get up."

He could not be wrong in seeing people. Although Kong Shang was impatient and impulsive, he was superior in that he had a high force value, was loyal to himself, and didn't have so many twists and turns in his mind.As long as you make a good transfer, in time, you can really use it for him.

***

Inside Zichen Palace.

Emperor Guangxi half-lyed on the dragon couch, and Concubine Yuan sat upright beside the couch, feeding her soup one mouthful at a time.

"Ahem..." Emperor Guangxi drank a few sips, then waved his hand and said, "I won't drink anymore."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Yuan put down the medicine bowl, gently wiped the corners of the Holy Majesty's lips with a brocade handkerchief, and advised softly, "The medicine tastes bitter. If the Emperor wants to recover as soon as possible, he must continue to drink the medicine."

"I don't think my concubine is looking much better?" Emperor Guangxi held Concubine Yuan's catkin with his backhand and kissed him, and said with a low voice, "If concubine Ai still wants a child..."

Concubine Yuan froze slightly when she thought of her aborted child, then quickly covered her expression, lightly punched the Holy Majesty's chest with her fist, and said in a shy tone, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Guangxi laughed again, and the two of them were intimate for a moment, Eunuch Su lifted the curtain, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen is here."

Emperor Guangxi: "Xuan."

Concubine Yuan got up sensiblely: "The concubine will leave first."

"You don't need to leave, my concubine will stay here with me." Emperor Guangxi held her hand and refused to let her back down to show his affection.

After a while, Shen Qingzhuo stepped into the inner hall and greeted him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Shen Qing is here." Emperor Guangxi sat on the head of the bed, "Is there any progress in the case of Pan Chong?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "Returning to the emperor, I led the Jin Yiwei to search the palaces of the empresses in the palaces today, but still found nothing."

"What's this called? Could it be that that lowly maid can still fly?" Emperor Guangxi frowned, "How did you agree to my cough cough..."

"The emperor calm down." Shen Qingzhuo looked as usual, "Today the Jin Yiwei searched the palaces with great fanfare and found nothing. The real murderer behind the scenes will definitely let down his vigilance."

Emperor Guangxi narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"That's right, Jin Yiwei was just bluffing today." Shen Qingzhuo smiled slightly, "Tomorrow the North Town Governor will release news that Jin Yiwei found a completely unrecognizable female corpse and led the snake out of the hole."

Emperor Guangxi's face softened a little, and he asked again: "Is there any clue about the lost files in Dongchang?"

"This..." Shen Qingzhuo subconsciously glanced at Concubine Yuan.

Emperor Guangxi: "Shen Qing, but it's okay to say."

"It is said that Mr. Pan Chang attaches great importance to the lost case file, and he planned to present it to the emperor in person, but something unexpected happened." Shen Qingzhuo slowly replied, "The minister interrogated the relevant personnel overnight and confirmed that this case file is related to the East Palace."

"East Palace?" Emperor Guangxi's tone sank, "It's the East Palace again."

"But Dongchang is not under the jurisdiction of Weichen after all, so it's inconvenient to continue the in-depth investigation." Shen Qingzhuo said after some consideration, "Therefore, Weichen suggested that the Holy One can nominate a supervisor from Dongchang to be responsible for investigating the truth about the case file."

Dongchang and Jin Yiwei are always two sons, he can't stretch his hands too far.

Emperor Guangxi said thoughtfully: "You are right, I will think about it carefully."

Shen Qingzhuo: "If the emperor has no other orders, I will leave first."

"Wait." Emperor Guangxi stopped him, "I remember that when you first entered the palace, you lived in the East Palace for three years. Shen Qing thinks, how does the prince behave?"

Shen Qingzhuo frowned, but didn't respond for a while.

"Just treat it as... I'm talking with you, just tell your true opinion." Emperor Guangxi's eyes fell heavily on his face, "I like to listen to the truth."

Shen Qingzhuo lowered his eyes and replied: "I have lived in the East Palace for three years. From what I have seen and heard, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is strict with himself and diligent in participating in politics. He is admired by his staff and respected by all the officials. He is famous for his generosity and benevolence."

In this case, in his capacity, he absolutely cannot take the initiative to say anything wrong about the prince in front of Emperor Guangxi.On the contrary, he wants to create a perfect image of the crown prince, so perfect that it becomes a thorn, firmly piercing into Emperor Guangxi's heart.

What's more, there will always be other people blowing the pillow wind.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Emperor Guangxi's complexion was cloudy and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Shen Qingzhuo patiently waited for the Holy Majesty's next instruction.

After a long time, Emperor Guangxi said in a weary tone: "Donggong has been moving frequently recently, you should watch carefully for me."

Shen Qingzhuo responded: "Yes."

Emperor Guangxi waved his hand weakly at him, and said: "My concubine, let's go back to the palace to rest first."

Concubine Yuan stood up and saluted meekly, "The concubine will leave."

Shen Qingzhuo made way sideways, and asked Concubine Yuan to go first.

When he also exited the Zichen Palace, Emperor Guangxi's increasingly weak voice came from behind him: "Su Huaian, come in."

Eunuch Su who was guarding the door responded, and when the two passed by, Shen Qingzhuo nodded as a signal, and Eunuch Su returned a kind smile.

It seems that some kind of tacit understanding has been reached.

***

It was dusk, palace lanterns had been hung at the entrance of the hall, Concubine Yuan was standing not far away, her graceful and graceful back seemed somewhat lonely and desolate.

Shen Qingzhuo watched silently for a moment.

This concubine of the Yuan Dynasty was the only daughter of the Imperial Academy of the Imperial Academy at that time, she was born beautiful, not only had the appearance of sinking fish and wild goose, but also was a lady who was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

She used to be a childhood sweetheart Ruyi Langjun, but because of a banquet in the palace, she was favored by Emperor Guangxi by accident, and had to enter the palace as a concubine.

Undoubtedly, Emperor Guangxi loved her very much, and could not give her a higher status, so he canonized her as a concubine Yuan, because "Concubine Yuan" originally meant "prime spouse", referring to the first wife he married.

But since ancient times, the emperor's favor is an eternal double-edged sword.In the original book, she was targeted by Empress Sun as soon as she was pregnant with the dragon son. Even if the princelings did not do anything this time, that child is destined to have nothing to do with her.

Shen Qingzhuo was thinking a lot, the concubine Yuan turned around in front of her, and she was full of blessings to him, from the dangling earrings to the folded fingertips, there was nothing imperfect.

"Concubine Yuan." Shen Qingzhuo came back to his senses and cupped his hands in salute.

"Lord Shen, can I take a step to speak?" Concubine Yuan looked at him tenderly, "If it's inconvenient for you, I won't force you."

Shen Qingzhuo: "Your Majesty has something to say, even if it is inconvenient for me, I have to be convenient."

Concubine Yuan covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled lightly: "Lord Shen, please."

The little eunuch held the lamp in front, and the two palace maids followed far behind, making room for Concubine Yuan and Master Shen to speak alone.

The evening breeze was blowing, and the heat of the day gradually faded away. Shen Qingzhuo walked behind Concubine Yuan, walking at a leisurely pace.

After the two walked for a while, Concubine Yuan asked softly, "If I remember correctly, Master Shen handled the case of Bengong's assassination during the Spring Search trip?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "It is indeed a humble minister who investigates and prosecutes."

"In that case, Beizhen Fusi finally closed the case with the Minister of the Ministry of War murdering the emperor's heir, right?" Concubine Yuan continued to ask.

Shen Qingzhuo: "Exactly."

Concubine Yuan stopped, and turned her quiet eyes to Lord Zhenfu, "I have always been curious in my heart. I have no grudges with the Minister of the Ministry of War in the past, and I have no enmity recently. Why did he murder me?"

Shen Qingzhuo also stopped, and replied sternly: "Return to your mother's words, when Jin Yiwei captured Fang Jian, Fang Jian committed suicide in fear of crime, so the reason could not be found out."

Concubine Yuan stared at him, and said with certainty: "There must be some connection that I don't know about."

Shen Qingzhuo was silent for a moment.

Concubine Yuan asked, "Is it the queen?"

Shen Qingzhuo hesitated for a moment, then slightly shook his head in denial.

"That's..." Concubine Yuan frowned, and the vague guess in her heart became more and more clear.

"Actually, the empress has already made a conclusion in her heart." Shen Qingzhuo cupped her hands and said in an apologetic tone, "The case is closed. For some reason, the Holy Majesty forbids Beizhen Fusi to continue to investigate. If there are more words, I dare not say any more."

The moonlight was like water, Concubine Yuan was stunned for a moment, then she showed a self-deprecating wry smile, "I understand, thank you Master Shen for telling the truth."

"Your Majesty, my condolences have changed." Shen Qingzhuo comforted in a low voice, "There will still be little princes."

"Really?" Concubine Yuan put away the expression on her face, and continued to walk forward slowly, "Is Master Shen still not clear about the current physical condition of the Holy Majesty?"

"I heard that the palace has found a master of Taoism, and the sage is dedicated to alchemy and asked, I think he will get better soon." Shen Qingzhuo persuaded lightly, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much."

Concubine Yuan chuckled lightly, saying inexplicably, "I hope so."

"However..." Shen Qingzhuo lowered her eyes and said sincerely, "I dare to say something rebellious, your empress should have made plans for herself."

Concubine Yuan looked sideways: "According to Master Shen, how should I plan for myself?"

"It's already getting late today, and the empress should go back to the palace earlier to rest." Shen Qingzhuo replied calmly, "The days ahead will be long, and the empress does not need to be in a hurry."

Concubine Yuan: "Okay, I will listen to Master Shen."

The secret conversation between the two came to an end temporarily, and Shen Qingzhuo stood where he was, sending Concubine Yuan away calmly.

For Emperor Guangxi, Concubine Yuan may not have much affection in her heart, but she has always been unable to let go of the stillborn child.In particular, Emperor Guangxi's completely different attitude towards the East Palace before and after will inevitably make her feel chilly.

But at present, Concubine Yuan is still the closest person to Emperor Guangxi.

After a while, Shen Qingzhuo turned around, and suddenly found that he had unknowingly...

lost way?

Ever since he entered Jinyiwei, whenever he performed official duties, he would be guided by someone, so he no longer bothered to write down the route, and just now he focused on Huiyuan Concubine's words, completely ignoring which direction they were going from.

Master Shen's captivating peach blossom eyes rarely showed a trace of confusion.

Just when he was in a daze, a familiar voice came from his ear: "Lord Shen?"

The author has something to say:

Kong Qianhu: His Highness the Seventh Prince doesn't respect teachers at all!

The little wolf cub bared his teeth: Can I show you how I respect my teacher, ah?

Mr. Shen Hu Duzi is online~

Don't worry babies, wait for Manman to spend the few days of death at the end of the year, and start to roar every day after the annual leave!
