Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

In Xiao Yichen's memory, he, the seventh younger brother who grew up in the cold palace, still has the impression of the thin, cowardly, pitiful fellow a few years ago who dared not get angry or speak up when he was bullied.

Even though he later learned that the person who killed his mother and concubine was not Concubine Zhao, he didn't feel guilty at all. After all, the person who caused this result was their father, who acquiesced that everyone could bully the Seventh Prince at will.

But at this moment, Xiao Shen's eyes were like thousands of years of ice in the cold pool and secluded river, and when he stared at him, it was as cold as if he was looking at a dead person. It's completely different.

"What kind of eyes are you looking at?" Xiao Yichen managed to stabilize his mind, and bluffed, "Don't you also dislike Shen Qingzhuo? Gu avenged you, shouldn't you thank Gu?"

A creepy smile suddenly broke out on the handsome face, and Xiao Shen asked word by word: "Who else have you spoken to, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

The corners of his lips were raised, but his brows and eyes were still fixed, and the coldness in the bottom of his eyes remained unchanged.

Xiao Yichen's scalp became numb from this weird smile, and he couldn't speak clearly, "I haven't told...other people before."

After all, it was Mr. Shen, Fusi of Beizhen, one of the most trusted people of the father at the moment. He only dared to express his anger secretly, but he did not dare to make enemies with Shen Qingzhuo or tear his face openly.

In particular, the case of Pan Chong has not yet been settled, his heart is always hanging in the air, and he can't sleep or eat.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yichen's eyes also darkened, "I'm in a hurry to meet Emperor Father, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

Xiao Shen stood there motionless.

His line of sight was almost at the same level as that of the prince, and his strong tendons were hidden under the brocade robe. He looked thin but not weak. Just standing there, there was a natural sense of oppression in his aura.

Xiao Yichen straightened his back unconsciously, and threatened with an unfriendly expression: "Good dogs don't block the way, if you insist on blocking the way, don't blame the emperor for being rude."

The two guards behind him understood and eagerly drew out their sabers from their waists.

"My brother was just joking, so why should you be angry?" Just as the sword was on the verge of breaking out, Xiao Shen suddenly laughed out loud, stepped aside and said, "Please, brother."

Xiao Yichen couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, immediately let out a cold snort, and walked away in a huff.

Xiao Shen raised his eyelashes slightly, and watched His Royal Highness leave, the coldness in his eyes faded, and a strong bloody murderous aura emerged instead.

He took a step forward and continued to walk in the direction of the Longevity Palace, but in his mind he sketched out how the prince would die in the near future.

Each method of death is different, but one is more miserable than the other, so he can try them all.

Walking all the way and rehearsing, when he reached the Longevity Palace, Xiao Shen had recovered to normal.

He straightened his clothes and went straight to the inner hall.

"Grandmother!" Before seeing her, but hearing her voice, Xiao Shen affectionately called out to the Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, my grandson is here to greet you!"

"Hey." The Empress Dowager was sitting at the table having breakfast, she put down her silver chopsticks with a smile on her face, "I heard your voice from a long distance away, could it be some happy event?"

"How can there be any happy event?" Xiao Shen bowed, and then got up by himself, "No, it is also a happy event to come to pay my respects to grandma."

The Empress Dowager smiled more lovingly when she was teased by him, "It's better to come early than to come by coincidence, and I happened to have breakfast with my grandmother."

Xiao Shen was already a frequent visitor to the Longevity Palace, he sat down unceremoniously, and complained: "If it wasn't for the Second Emperor Brother stopping me in the Imperial Garden just now, I would have come earlier."

The queen mother looked at him and said with concern: "My good boy, the prince didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"Hey, how does Grandmother know that Second Brother doesn't like me?" Xiao Shen widened his phoenix eyes in surprise.

The Empress Dowager sighed, her eyes were full of love and affection, "These things are not secrets in the palace."

"That's right..." Xiao Shen responded, his eyes drooping slightly, "However, Second Brother not only scolded me, but also scolded Mr. Shen by the way."

"Qing Zhuo?" The queen mother asked quietly, "Could it be that the prince and Qing Zhuo have some festivals?"

Xiao Shen scratched the back of his head, and replied uncertainly: "I'm not very clear, but from the meaning of the second brother, it seems that Pan Chong's case involved the East Palace, and the second brother took the anger of Mr. Shen."

"Pan Chong's case..." The queen mother was thoughtful, scooping up soup with the spoon in her hand, "What does Shen'er think about this case?"

"This..." Xiao Shen hesitated for a moment, and replied solemnly, "Grandson listened to the people in the palace discussing in private, saying that Mr. Panchang was interested in sex, and he deserved his death."

These words were innocent and cute, the Queen Mother shook her head with a smile, and changed the topic: "Have Shen'er and Mr. Shen been in touch recently?"

"That's it, he will occasionally put on a show to guide me." Xiao Shen spread his hands indifferently.

"Shen'er, you have to catch Mr. Shen well." The queen mother put down the spoon and taught in a warm voice, "Not to mention that his father is the King of Zhenbei, and his mother is the grandmother's niece. cousin."

Xiao Shen muttered, "But he never regarded me as a relative..."

"Shen'er, you have grown up, and you have to learn to be flexible in some things." The queen mother said earnestly, "Even if you don't like Mr. Shen in your heart, but now he is helpful to you, you can't push him to your opposite."

Xiao Shen seemed to understand, "Then... should I please Mr. Shen?"

"You are the seventh prince of Dayong, you don't have to please anyone." The Queen Mother looked at him kindly, "But it's always right to get close."

Xiao Shen nodded vigorously, and replied in a straight voice: "I understand, grandma!"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction, and gave him a piece of smoked bird's nest and duck with chopsticks, "Good boy, eat more."

After breakfast, Xiao Shen obediently talked with the Empress Dowager for a while, and then offered to leave.

He withdrew from the inner hall under the loving gaze of the Empress Dowager, and as soon as he walked to the outer room, he bumped into a little palace lady head-on.

Ying Ting frowned slightly, he endured the annoyance in his heart, and raised his hand to help the panic-stricken maid.

"Are you okay?" His Royal Highness Seventh asked casually.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince..." The little maid stood firm and stammered, "Damn this slave..."

Being so close to His Highness the Seventh Prince, with a handsome three-dimensional face in front of her eyes, a deep and pleasant voice in her ears, and a cold scent of heat blowing towards her face, the little maid's face was as red as a steamed shrimp.

Xiao Shen let go of his hand, and smiled slightly: "Isn't it just bumped, what's the matter?"

The little maid lowered her head: "Thank you, Your Highness Qi."

"Raise your face and let His Highness take a look." Xiao Shen lowered his voice and ordered in a low voice.

The little maid raised her face anxiously, and just as she met His Royal Highness's dark and smiling phoenix eyes, her heartbeat suddenly became out of order, so violent that it seemed to jump out of her chest.

"What's your name?" Xiao Shen looked at her as if hooked, and scratched the little maid's face.

The little maid replied in a dazed way: "Slave Liuli..."

"A nice name." Xiao Shen laughed again, and waved his hand, "Liuli, go in and serve the Queen Mother."

"Yes, Your Highness..." Liuli bowed and walked into the inner hall distraught.

The next moment, Xiao Shen put away the deliberate smile on his lips, and stepped out of the Longevity Palace expressionlessly.

***

In the Zichen Palace, Concubine Xian was half lying in Emperor Guangxi's arms, with crystal grapes in her hand, peeled them and stuffed them into Emperor Guangxi's mouth.

Emperor Guangxi held the busy catkin and said with a smile: "The grapes peeled by my concubine are sweet."

"Your Majesty will always say nice things to coax your ministers and concubines." Concubine Xian said coquettishly, "The Emperor hasn't summoned your ministers and concubines for a long time. If it wasn't for my concubines missing the emperor too much, they would come today uninvited..."

"My beloved concubine, don't be angry." Emperor Guangxi coaxed, "I have been busy with government affairs recently, and the Taoist priest told me to cultivate my character, so I neglected my beloved concubine."

Concubine Xian got up from his arms, her soft eyes were full of anger and resentment, "The emperor is serious, and none of the sisters are summoned?"

Emperor Guangxi laughed again: "Really."

Only then was Concubine Xian somewhat satisfied, she nestled back into his arms, and lightly tapped her chest with her soft, boneless hands, "Your Majesty, I heard that you plan to let Yao'er go out of the palace to build a mansion?"

Emperor Guangxi's complexion changed, and his tone was grave: "Where did you hear it? I haven't made a decision yet."

"The concubine knows that Yao'er has been loved by the emperor since she was a child, so many people in the palace don't like our mother and son." Concubine Xian's tone sounded extremely aggrieved, "Poor Yao'er is so filial, she wants to be happy and serve more Royal father has been slandering for some time, but he has been slandered by those who want to..."

Emperor Guangxi squeezed Concubine Xian's fragrant shoulders, and coaxed patiently: "Okay, didn't I say that, there is still room for improvement in this matter."

Concubine Xian lay on his chest and whispered: "For so many years, my concubine has kept herself safe and guarded herself, and Yao'er has nothing to do with the world. The emperor understands our mother and son's intentions, so this concubine will die without regret. It's..."

"What do you mean you can't die? Bad luck!" Emperor Guangxi frowned unhappily, "I can see the character of my sons, and I can't let others judge, let alone wronged any of them."

Concubine Xian's heart suddenly fell, and she quickly accepted it, "The concubine specially learned a massage technique, may the emperor give it a try?"

Emperor Guangxi turned pale, and patted Concubine Xian's buttocks, "Come on, let me try Aifei's technique."

So, Concubine Xian turned around behind Emperor Guangxi, pinching her shoulders and neck softly, biting her ears softly, and laughing coquettishly from time to time.

The atmosphere was just right, Concubine Xian thought she could stay in bed today, but unexpectedly, the eunuch at the door reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yuan please see me!"

Concubine Xian's expression froze, she gritted her teeth secretly.

This damn concubine Yuan unexpectedly came to disrupt the situation at a critical moment.

"Your Majesty..." She was just about to protest when she heard Emperor Guangxi reply, "Xuan!"

Concubine Yuan has a graceful figure, with lotus growing every step of the way. After entering the palace, she prostrates herself prostratingly: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor."

"You don't need to be too polite to love your concubine." Emperor Guangxi sat up straight and spoke softly, "Why is my concubine here?"

"The scorching heat is unbearable, and this concubine personally made a dessert to cool off the heat, thinking of sending it to the emperor to taste." Concubine Yuan smiled, "If I knew that my sister was here, this concubine would not come today."

"It's rare to love a concubine with a heart." Emperor Guangxi looked at her with tenderness and affection in his eyes, "Come here quickly, let me taste the craftsmanship of a concubine."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Yuan replied, taking the silver plate from the hand of the young lady-in-waiting, and walked slowly to the red sandalwood couch.

Concubine Xian raised her hand to stroke her hair on her temples, her silver teeth were about to shatter, but she had no choice but to praise hypocritically: "Sister is a good crafter."

This almond tofu is one of the emperor's favorite desserts. The neat cubes are as white as cream, like a girl's skin. The surface is covered with a layer of golden osmanthus honey, making it even more attractive.

Sure enough, Emperor Guangxi tasted a piece, and he was full of praise: "Aifei's craftsmanship is getting more and more exquisite, and it won my heart."

Concubine Yuan Fushen said: "Since there is a sister serving the emperor, the concubine will retire first."

Emperor Guangxi's gaze stayed on her, as if he was reluctant to part with her, "Let's leave a meal for my concubine."

Concubine Yuan shook her head gently: "My concubine will come back tomorrow to pay my respects to the emperor."

Concubine Xian sneered in her heart, this time she counted as knowing.

Concubine Yuan retreated from the bedroom, and when she left the palace gate, she happened to meet Lord Shen who came to see the Holy Majesty.

"Concubine Yuan." Shen Qingzhuo paused in his footsteps, and bowed his hands.

"Master Shen." Concubine Yuan bowed back, "What Master Shen said last time, I think it makes sense after thinking about it."

Shen Qingzhuo nodded slightly, waiting for Concubine Yuan's next words.

After the secret conversation in front of the palace that night, he secretly found another opportunity to meet Concubine Yuan and speak clearly.

Concubine Yuan is smart and smart, and her knowledge and insights are not inferior to those of so-called literati. With a little advice from Shen Qingzhuo, she can clearly understand the current situation in the imperial court and harem.

For the sake of the child who died in her womb, and for the future of herself and her family after Emperor Guangxi left the Hexi, after a few days of deliberation, she decided to cooperate with Master Shen.

In addition, Mr. Shen has a reassuring aura, which seems to be more worthy of her trust than the pillow man who turned his hands into clouds and his hands into rain.

"What Mr. Shen wants, the Japanese Palace will order someone to deliver it tomorrow." Concubine Yuan started, and when she passed by Mr. Shen, she uttered a light and fluffy sentence.

Shen Qingzhuo replied calmly: "Congratulations to Concubine Yuan."

Afterwards, he resumed his steps and continued towards the inner hall without haste.

***

In the bedroom, Concubine Xian was feeding Emperor Guangxi with almond tofu, brushing the vital parts from time to time, obviously the ulterior motive was not in the wine.

Although Emperor Guangxi was still weak, but he had taken a lot of messy tonics recently, it was inevitable that his energy and blood would surge, and he became happy for a while.

Concubine Xian half pushed and half agreed, the two of them entangled, and suddenly there was another announcement from the outer hall: "Your Majesty, Master Shen of Jinyi Wei please see me!"

Emperor Guangxi suddenly lost interest, pushed away the half-dressed Concubine Xian, and said lazily, "Xuan."

Concubine Xian hurriedly lowered her head and straightened her clothes, she was so angry that she wished she could kill this short-sighted Master Shen.

What the hell did she do today to be disturbed again and again?

But as soon as Lord Shen stepped in and saw that handsome face, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared.

After seeing too much of Emperor Guangxi's bluish-white face, Lord Shen's beauty became more and more prominent, and Concubine Xian couldn't help but take a few more glances.

However, Shen Qingzhuo turned a blind eye to her gaze, and knelt down to salute: "I see the emperor, concubine Xian."

"Shen Qing, get up." Emperor Guangxi waved his hand, then turned his head and told Concubine Xian, "I have important matters to discuss with Mrs. Shen, and my concubine should avoid it first."

Concubine Xian tried her best to squeeze out a docile and pleasant smile: "Yes, my concubine obeys."

She turned around and walked out of the inner hall, scolding Emperor Guangxi in her heart.

She doesn't dislike his ghostly appearance, old and immortal, but this damn consumptive ghost is still guarding against her in every possible way.

If she hadn't expected him to change Yao'er as the crown prince before his death, so that Yao'er would be able to ascend the throne in a legitimate way, and she would have given him a ride with her own hands, so there was no need to pretend To serve him with a snake?

Concubine Xian held her chest tightly and sat on a chair in the outer hall. She took a sip of the tea that was handed over by the maid, and was scalded by the scald: "Bitch, do you want to scald me to death?"

The court lady who served the tea was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed loudly, "Damn it, servant girl! Your majesty, please spare my life!"

Concubine Xian's face was extremely ugly, but considering that she was in the Zichen Palace, she endured it and cursed in a low voice: "Go down and get the board yourself."

The maid scrambled back out.

Concubine Xian complied, and suddenly a bold idea came to her mind.

After about a cup of tea, Shen Qingzhuo pushed open the palace door and walked out, then closed the palace door carefully.

Listening to his footsteps, Concubine Xian rested her forehead and waited for someone to come out.

After a few steps, Shen Qingzhuo appeared in the outer hall, but walked straight out without stopping.

"Ahem..." Concubine Xian coughed twice and called out, "Lord Shen."

Shen Qingzhuo was startled, then turned around and saluted: "Concubine Xian."

Concubine Xian looked at that handsome face recklessly, and said softly: "Master Shen, come closer, I have a few words to say."

Shen Qingzhuo thought for a while, and approached as he said.

"I heard that Mr. Shen is in charge of thoroughly investigating the case of Eunuch Pan. I wonder if the murderer has been caught?" Concubine Xian tentatively asked a question.

Shen Qingzhuo politely replied: "This is Beizhen Fushi's secret, please forgive me not to disclose it."

Concubine Xian stared at him inquisitively: "Isn't it even the palace?"

"If you want to know the inside story, you might as well ask the Holy Majesty directly." Shen Qingzhuo replied neither humble nor overbearing, "I dare not make up my own mind."

One sentence directly blocked her to death, Concubine Xian couldn't bear it anymore, but she held back her temper and said kindly: "I have always been very optimistic about Mr. Shen."

Shen Qingzhuo cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thanks to your kindness."

His smile was like the first thaw of spring snow. Concubine Xian was dazzled, she received the wrong signal, and she showed a gleam of joy, "It's so good."

The closest ones to the emperor are the Supervisor of Rites and Jin Yiwei, but that dead eunuch Su Huai'an relied on his sacred favor and never took her seriously. If he could win over Shen Qingzhuo, the mother and son would undoubtedly have another important bargaining chip.

What's more, Pan Chong's case is under the full authority of Beizhen Fusi to examine it. Wouldn't it be easy for her to press Donggong to death?

Shen Qingzhuo had a panoramic view of Concubine Xian's expression, knowing that the empress had misunderstood something, but she didn't point it out, and even stoked the flames with a smile.

***

After a trip to the face saint, Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help but feel a little tired when he returned to Jiyue Pavilion to perfunctory the three of them.

Lian Zhong's confession is still in his arms, and he is still waiting for Jin Yiwei, who was released secretly, to bring back key evidence.

"Young master." Xiao Dezi came forward, took the Xiuchun knife from the young master's waist, and said in a worried tone, "You look very tired, should you take a bath first to relieve fatigue?"

"En." Shen Qingzhuo responded, pushed open the door of the inner hall, and asked casually, "Is there anything unusual in the palace today?"

"No." Xiao Dezi shook his head, stuck the Xiuchun knife into the slot, and went forward to undress the young master, "Young master, no matter how busy you are, you must pay attention to your body. If you overwork and accidentally fall ill What can I do?"

"Understood." Shen Qingzhuo opened his arms and joked, "Your son is not paper, how can he be so fragile?"

"By the way, my lord, today the Longevity Palace has brought tranquilizing incense again." Xiao Dezi seemed to remember something, "Should we continue lighting incense at night?"

"Don't order it." Shen Qingzhuo frowned slightly, "I've been so tired that I fell asleep recently, and I don't need the soothing incense."

"Okay, my lord." Xiao Dezi responded, "Then I'll prepare warm water, and my lord will take a rest."

Shen Qingzhuo turned around and sat on the edge of the bed. Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest his mind, a hand suddenly stretched out from under the bed and grabbed his ankle.

"Ah!" Shen Qingzhuo screamed in fright, jumped up from the side of the couch, and shouted sharply, "Who?"

"It's me, sir!" A familiar voice came from under the bed, and then a figure slid out, "Surprised, surprised?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "..."

Xiao Shen sat cross-legged on the ground, his hair was tied up in a mess, his eyes sparkled, "If Mister doesn't come back, I'm going to fall asleep."

Shen Qingzhuo was angry and funny, "Why are you hiding under my bed?"

"I just had a whim, and wanted to give my husband a different surprise!" Xiao Shen smiled at him with crooked eyebrows, like a puppy asking for credit.

Shen Qingzhuo choked speechlessly: "It's hard to say whether it's a surprise or not. It's true that you were almost scared to death by you."

"Ah?" Xiao Shen immediately lowered the corners of his eyes guiltily, and his prickly ears seemed to droop, "I'm sorry sir, I didn't think so much..."

"Okay, I didn't mean to blame you." Shen Qingzhuo couldn't see the little apprentice being so downcast, and stroked his furry head, "The way you treat people is really...unique, it's just—"

Before the words fell, Xiao Dezi's panicked voice faintly came from the outer hall: "His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness, you can't forcefully break into the son's bedroom!"

Shen Qingzhuo was shocked, his first reaction was not to let the prince find out that the little apprentice was in his room.

At the very moment, he had a flash of inspiration, pushed the little apprentice down and stuffed it under the bed, speaking quickly: "Hide it well, don't make a sound!"

So, the boy who just got out from under the bed was stuffed back in a daze.

The author has something to say:

Mister: Don't you like staying under the bed?go in you!

Wolf cub:?Is this the legendary self-inflicted suffering?

Mom: Yes!The time-limited experience card under the bed, drop——

Two more in one!Tomorrow we will strive for more bobobo!
