Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

Shen Qingzhuo couldn't figure out why the ghost had such a similar voice to the little apprentice's. In the end, he could barely explain that it was because the little apprentice lingered in his ears all day because he thought about it every day and dreamed at night.

Therefore, since he was "pressed by ghosts on the bed" that night, he refused to sleep on the same bed with his little apprentice.Sure enough, I never had such absurd and absurd dreams at night again.

For this, Xiao Shen expressed dissatisfaction at first, but as the end of the new year was approaching, all departments in the palace were busy, and Mr. Shen was also very busy, so he was not willing to make trouble again.

As for himself, he had a reason to heal his injuries, and he lay idly in Changle Palace all day long, without even looking at the [-] elite soldiers that Suixi had brought back, and directly took them back to the three major battalions for training.

On this day, Shen Qingzhuo routinely reported the investigation results to Emperor Guangxi, and as soon as he stepped into the Zichen Hall, he found that the hall was very lively today.

Xie Ge stood in front of him leaning on his cane, and the other members of the cabinet lined up with the six ministers.

"Your Majesty, the establishment of a crown prince is the foundation of the country." Yan Siqi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, cupped his hands and bowed, "Now the position of the Eastern Palace has been vacant for two years, and it will do a lot of harm to the country and society, but not a single benefit. I hope the emperor thinks twice. "

Mr. Lin, Minister of the Household Department, disagreed and said: "The emperor does not set up a reserve, so there is a reason for the emperor. You don't have to be too impatient, Mr. Yan."

"My lord Lin said it lightly. The emperor has not appointed a new prince for a long time. At that time, there will be turmoil in the previous dynasty. Can you bear the responsibility?" Yan Shangshu flicked his sleeves and replied coldly.

Qin De, the second assistant of the cabinet, echoed: "Your Majesty, what Lord Yan said is not completely unreasonable. In all dynasties, if the crown prince is unstable, it will inevitably lead to civil strife."

Several people started arguing with each other. Emperor Guangxi lay on the dragon chair, propped his forehead and said nothing.

Waiting for a break in the noise, Shen Qingzhuo said slowly: "Then according to what Lord Yan said, which prince is the most suitable for the emperor to register as the prince?"

Yan Siqi didn't expect Master Shen to roll his name directly, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "According to the Dayong etiquette law, the elders should be established but not the young, so the third prince should be registered as the crown prince."

"I'm afraid this is wrong." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry quickly caught the loophole in his words, "According to Mr. Yan, the eldest prince is the leader."

Yan Siqi blurted out: "The Eldest Prince is weak and sick, and precarious, how can he take on the heavy responsibility of the Crown Prince?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately said: "The day and night are precarious? Sir Yan, are you cursing the eldest prince?"

Master Yan's eyes widened: "You—"

"Enough." At this time, Emperor Guangxi, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, finally spoke, his voice was weak, and his tone was cold, "I'm not dead yet, so you're just rambling, and you want to take care of my funeral?"

"I don't dare!" Yan Siqi was so frightened that he knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, forgive me, this minister is only thinking of Da Yong Jiang Shan Sheji!"

Inside the Zichen Palace, there was a complete silence.

After a while, Emperor Guangxi looked at Mr. Xie Ge, and asked slowly: "Mr. Xie Ge, what do you think?"

Xie Ge stroked his beard, "Establishing a crown prince is a major national event, and the old minister thinks that the emperor should be cautious about it."

"Then Xie Ge, do you have a suitable candidate for the crown prince?" Emperor Guangxi continued to ask.

Old Xie Ge cupped his hands and said: "The old minister is old, deaf and blind, and confused, everything is obeyed by the emperor's holy will."

"Your Majesty—" Qin De wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Emperor Guangxi waving his hand.

"The establishment of a reserve will be discussed later." After only a short while, Emperor Guangxi seemed to be exhausted, "Xie Ge Lao stayed, and everyone else went down."

Several adults looked at each other, exchanged glances, and exited Zichen Palace one after another.

And Shen Qingzhuo handed the memorial to Eunuch Su under the signal of Emperor Guangxi, and then withdrew.

It seems that the emperor has something to tell Mr. Xie Ge alone.

But after he left the palace, he didn't rush back to Beizhen Fusi, but went to Dongchang by the way.

In the past two years, Dongchang's work has been very sacred, and Pan Dongsheng has also become a celebrity in front of Emperor Guangxi, and his limelight even almost surpassed that of Jin Yiwei.

Outsiders thought Mr. Shen must be unhappy, but they didn't know who Pan Changgong was working for in private.

"My lord." As soon as Mr. Shen entered, Pan Dongsheng immediately gave up his seat and replied, "As my lord expected, the Longevity Palace can't stand it any longer."

Shen Qingzhuo sat down, "Well, what should I say?"

Pan Dongsheng looked around, then took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "This is something given by the empress dowager. It is colorless and tasteless. It only takes half a month to add it to the meal..."

Shen Qingzhuo took the porcelain bottle curiously, and was about to smell it through the mouth of the bottle, when Eunuch Pan shouted nervously: "My lord, be careful, this thing is not for fun!"

Mr. Shen gave a "tsk" sound, and handed the porcelain bottle back to him, "Just follow the plan."

Pan Dongsheng quickly hid the poison back in his sleeve, and assured him: "Don't worry, my lord, everything has been arranged properly, and nothing will go wrong."

Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help sighing, in this palace, there are far more than one or two people who want to return Emperor Guangxi's soul to the west.

***

A few days later, the princes from Shengjing and other fiefdoms were called back to the palace one after another. The first thing they did was naturally to enter the palace to pay respects to Emperor Guangxi, and to pay tribute to special products and treasures from all over the place to show their filial piety.

Facing the front and back palace, it seems to be calm, but the undercurrent is actually turbulent.

At sunset, Shen Qingzhuo was about to leave Beizhen Fusi, when an unfamiliar sedan chair fell at the door, a guard with a knife came up and saluted respectfully: "Master Shen, my lord has invited you to the palace for a briefing. "

Shen Qingzhuo glanced at him, "Which prince is your prince?"

The guard replied, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Kong Shang reminded in a low voice: "My lord, it may be a Hongmen banquet."

"No problem." Shen Qingzhuo raised his hand and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is so kind, so I will go with you."

After about two sticks of incense, the carriage stopped in front of the majestic gate of Chu Wang's mansion.

Shen Qingzhuo pulled up his robe and got out of the carriage. As soon as he stepped into the gate, the King of Chu greeted him, "Master Shen is here, so magnificent!"

"His Royal Highness Chu is polite." Shen Qingzhuo smiled faintly, and cupped his hands in a bow, "After a farewell for two years, His Royal Highness remains the same demeanor."

"Hahahahaha!" Xiao Hongyao laughed loudly, "Master Shen is absurd, please come in quickly!"

After the two sat down, you came and I went back and forth in vain, everything was tight.

After a long while, it was Xiao Hongyao who couldn't hold back and cut to the point first: "I heard that King Jin was seriously injured, is there such a thing?"

"Your Highness hasn't visited the King of Jin yet?" Shen Qingzhuo was slightly surprised, but said seriously, "It is true. During this victory in Suixi, the King of Jin almost lost his life, and now he is relying on the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician to hang his life. "

A gleam of happiness flashed in Xiao Hongyao's eyes, but there was a worried expression on his face: "So that's the case, I hope the seventh brother can recover soon."

Shen Qingzhuo lowered his eyelashes, and pointedly said: "It's not His Royal Highness Jin who decides whether he will be cured or not."

Xiao Hongyao stared at him, and suddenly asked: "My lord also heard that a few days ago, several lords of Shangshu advised the emperor that he should establish a heir as soon as possible. I don't know, lord Shen..."

"That's right, the emperor really moved Li Chu's mind." Shen Qingzhuo raised his eyes and paused slightly, "But the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and who would dare to speak nonsense until the last moment?"

Xiao Hongyao's gaze was like a torch: "Father has always trusted Lord Shen, if even Lord Shen can't guess the king's heart, then let alone other people."

"Why are you in a hurry, Your Highness?" Shen Qingzhuo's face remained normal, "Once the time comes, we will naturally see the result."

It circled back and forth, and then circled back to the origin.

Xiao Hongyao's eyes sank slightly, and he took a sip of hot tea, "Master Shen, taste this fine Longjing tea, the tenderest buds are picked by a young girl, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth, and the aftertaste will be long."

Shen Qingzhuo's eyes stopped on the floating tea leaves, and after a while, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Tea is good tea."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that for now." Xiao Hongyao resumed his smile, "It's rare to see you, Mr. Shen, let's go back to the palace after dinner."

"No." Shen Qingzhuo put down the teacup, "The end of the year is approaching, and there are many affairs in the palace, so it is really inconvenient to stay for dinner."

After finishing speaking, he got up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Your Highness, Shen will take his leave first."

"Master Shen, why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Hongyao stood up and clapped his hands, "I haven't had time to start the show I prepared for Master Shen."

Shen Qingzhuo frowned slightly, and saw several graceful women rushing in, saluting gracefully.

"Master Shen has worked so hard for the country and the people. It is really a pity that he is still a widow." Xiao Hongyao hypocritically said, "For this reason, this king has found a beautiful girl with an innocent family background as a gift. During the long winter night, It's also good to warm up Mr. Shen's bed."

Shen Qingzhuo replied calmly: "His Royal Highness Chu's kindness, I appreciate it. However, Shen already has a sweetheart, and he really doesn't want to do something wrong for his sweetheart."

"Oh? The woman who can make Mr. Shen fall in love with is a girl who looks like a fairy?" Xiao Hongyao stared at him with interest, "Could it be... the girl named Xiang Lian?"

As soon as the words finished, Kong Shang, who had been waiting by the door, suddenly raised his head.

The expression on Shen Qingzhuo's face was full, "His Royal Highness, what is the meaning of this?"

Xiao Hongyao clapped his hands again, and two guards with knives brought in Xiang Lian with disheveled hair.

"Young Master!" Xiang Lian shouted anxiously when he saw Young Master Shen, "Young Master, go away, leave me alone!"

The Xiuchun Knife at his waist came out of its sheath instantly, and Kong Shang shouted, "Let her go!"

"Kong Shang!" Shen Qingzhuo uttered in time, stopping his next move.

Kong Shang clenched his teeth, but he had no choice but to retract the Xiuchun knife, and stood motionless.

Shen Qingzhuo turned his eyes back to the face of His Royal Highness King Chu, "Your Highness, embarrassing a weak woman is probably not a gentleman's action."

"That's wrong." Xiao Hongyao shook his head, and said brazenly, "This king just wants the beauty of an adult, Mr. Shen won't be ungrateful, right?"

There was silence in the beautiful peach blossom eyes, and after a while, Shen Qingzhuo asked slowly: "Does His Highness the King of Chu think that Shen came to the banquet alone today?"

Xiao Hongyao's triumphant smile froze.

"In fact, there are still some doubts about the abolition of the crown prince that year." Shen Qingzhuo smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness Chu thinks he has caught someone Shen, but His Highness must understand a simple truth. Will bite."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Hongyao's complexion completely sank, "Shen Qingzhuo, you don't want to toast or eat fine wine."

"Actually, among all the lords, the one who is most likely to enter the East Palace is His Royal Highness Chu." Shen Qingzhuo slapped him backhandedly, and then quickly fed him a sweet date, "It's better not to make extra trouble at such a critical moment. , What do you think, Your Highness?"

Xiao Hongyao frowned, as if secretly considering his position.

"What your Highness wants is within your reach." Shen Qingzhuo simply stated directly, "The only one who is loyal to you from the beginning to the end is the Holy One, and I hope your Highness will understand."

***

The carriage sped past all the way, and Shen Qingzhuo was lying on the bench, his usually white and flawless face was full of beauty.

"Master..." Xiang Lian squatted in front of him, almost crying, "Master, it's all Xiang Lian's fault..."

"No problem." Shen Qingzhuo closed her eyes tightly, her voice was soft and soft, "This matter has nothing to do with you..."

It's really a pity that Xiao Hongyao figured it out. Not only did he find a group of beauties for him, but he even drugged the tea. It seemed that he had made up his mind to stay overnight in Chu Palace, in an attempt to control him.

Xiang Lian is anxious like an ant on a hot pot. She is a girl from Zuixiangfang, and she is very familiar with these nasty drugs. Naturally, she knows very well that as long as she does that thing and releases the effect of the drug, the young master will be fine. will be fine.

but--

How dare she?How dare a contemptuous woman like her touch a son who is like a banished fairy?

The son gave her a second life, and she never dared to avenge her kindness.

Thinking of this, she could only lift the curtain, and urged in a crying voice: "Kong Shang, hurry up! Young Master, I can't stand it!"

Kong Shang raised his whip and drove the car without looking back, "I understand! Take good care of your son!"

Every moment becomes extremely difficult, Shen Qingzhuo's whole body seems to be scorched by a raging fire, the blood in the meridians is gurgling, the limbs are burned limp, and even the mind gradually becomes blurred...

Fortunately, Chu Palace is not too far from the imperial palace, Kong Shang made three steps and took two steps, and rushed all the way into Jiyue Pavilion with Master Shen on his back.

After finally reaching the gate of the hall, Kong Shang carefully put Mrs. Shen down and handed it over to Xiang Lian, "You help the young master into the house, I will go to Doctor Lu, and I will be right back!"

Xiang Lian hurriedly supported the young master, and whispered in her mouth: "I offended you, young master, I will help you go in and rest first."

At this moment, Xiao Dezi in the inner hall heard the movement at the door, and immediately came out to check, "My lord?"

"This father-in-law, please help me." Xiang Lian raised her voice and asked for help, "Master Shen, something happened!"

Xiao Dezi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and was about to run quickly, but he heard a deep and tense voice behind him: "What's wrong, sir?"

He secretly thought that something was wrong, and sure enough, the next moment, His Royal Highness King Jin rushed forward with vigorous steps, pushed Xiang Lian away roughly, and took the unconscious gentleman into his arms again.

"You are..." Xiang Lian looked at the somewhat familiar handsome face in front of her, trying to find such a person from her mind.

Xiao Shen glanced at the flushed gentleman in his arms, and when he raised his eyes again, he asked with a cold face: "What happened?"

Xiang Lian was so frightened by his gaze that her legs went limp, she leaned back on the threshold, and stammered: "Master, the king of Chu...prescribed the medicine..."

Yingting's brows were knotted, Xiao Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Hongyao?"

"Hmm..." The cold and stiff fabric relieved a bit of the heat, Shen Qingzhuo rubbed against his chest, and murmured, "Water...I want water..."

Xiao Shen didn't say a word, bent over and picked up Mr., striding towards the inner hall.

A gentleman with this appearance can no longer be seen by others!

The author has something to say:

King Chu: Master Shen must be looking at a girl who looks like a fairy.

King Jin: Hehe...it's me, do you have any objections?

The next chapter should be as early as possible, at around nine o'clock in the evening, the babies come early ahem...

In order to celebrate the opening of Chaohua, I made an appointment to put the picture on the bib homepage. It is the perspective of Xiao Qimeng. If you are interested, you can take a look hehehe~
