Your Majesty favors the beauty of bamboo horse disease

Isn't that a brothel?

There is also a reason for Zhang Yushi to think this way, and it is not because he speculates out of thin air.

You said that they were tossing and tossing with Mr. Song Ge, what are they trying to do?

Even if the emperor had no intention of choosing someone to come back to the palace and go there every ten days and half a month, they would have nothing to say.

But the emperor didn't like it, he didn't even have a prettier maid in his palace, and he didn't show any special attention to any girl, he didn't even perfunctory them.

How can this be explained?

Zhang Yushi previously suspected that when the first emperor was still alive, some unbearable things happened in the absurd palace in his later years, which caused the emperor to be particularly disgusted and resistant to these things.

But it doesn’t make much sense to say that. The emperor was designated as the prince when he was born, and he lived in the East Palace very early. Second, according to the age, after the emperor was crowned and the first queen passed away, the first emperor Hu Lai. For three years, there was no one around the emperor.

If there is a problem, it is most likely that there has always been a problem.

It is said that on the day when the old matriarch Zhong and the emperor had a conversation, the old matriarch Zhong and the emperor had a very happy conversation, but the emperor could not have told the matriarch that he was going to be a queen. Zhang Yushi asked people to inquire again and again, thinking that The most likely thing about this matter is—Old Madam Zhong is forcing a smile.

So the most reasonable explanation is that the emperor is not good at it!

The emperor is ashamed to speak, but once there is someone in the harem, someone will know.

For the majesty of the emperor, Mrs. Zhong had to keep his mouth shut. There is no such thing as a happy conversation, but a forced smile is the truth.

The emperor is a wise king, and this is obvious to all in the government and the public. The trivial matter of not being able to have a biological child is nothing compared to the achievements of the emperor's hard work. If you can't be born, you can adopt it.

Zhang Yushi didn't have to pry into the emperor's privacy if he wanted to get to the bottom of it, but it would be okay if his guess was false.

If his conjecture is true, then the emperor would be ashamed to say it, and they would naturally share the worries of the emperor as ministers.

"Really?" Zhang Yushi asked again in a low voice, afraid that he would not answer, and added: "I promise to only ask this question, you only need to answer whether I am or not, I will never ask more."

Although it seems that there is no need to ask other questions after answering.

Zhang Yushi actually thought so...

Mrs. Zhong Fu never expected that he would ask this question, and she had a very strange expression for a moment.

Zhang Yushi didn't think there was anything wrong with his logic, "Are you nodding or shaking your head?"

How did you come to this conclusion? Mr. Zhong hurriedly stopped his outrageous speculation: "No, don't think about it, how is this possible."

Old Mrs. Zhong Fu repeatedly denied it, for fear that he would come up with an even more astonishing guess, "The emperor is in good health, don't think about it."

Zhang Yushi: "Oh... no." He thought that the strange expression on the Taifu's face was just right.

Old Madam Zhong: "..." What's with your disappointed tone!

Just as Mrs. Zhong said goodbye and left to get into the carriage, Zhang Yushi suddenly asked again: "Are you really trying to cover up for...?"

Old Madam Zhong: "I don't!" If it wasn't for the emperor's thousands of instructions, he swore in front of the emperor that he would never reveal a word, and now he really wants to tell Zhang Yushi the truth.

Zhang Yushi: "Oh..."

Xie Yuanshi had long thought about asking Zhang Yushi if he would accept Xia Pei. Xia Pei hadn't studied much with him before, but after he came here, he had read books with Uncle Liu's children for a period of time at the mansion. , I have also read some of the classics and history collections.

He asked Xia Pei's opinion, Xia Pei was shocked at first, "Master, don't you want me?"

Of course, Xie Yuanshi didn't mean that. He felt that Xia Pei still had some talent in reading, and it would be good for himself if he could calm down and learn more.

When Xia Pei saw Xie Yuan, he seriously thought about this question.

"My master, Zhang Yushi is a doctor of the imperial censor. Although I look down on Zhao Jie very much, he was also a Jinshi when he became Zhang Yushi's disciple."

How long does it take to study hard to pass the Jinshi exam? Xia Pei himself felt that the bits and pieces he had learned, if he listened to it one day, he would not know if he still had it in his stomach the next day, so it was not qualified.

Xie Yuanshi: "So what I mean is, I'm not sure if Zhang Yushi is willing to accept him. If he is willing, you can learn from him. If he is not willing, I can find you another wife. The key depends on your own ideas."

Xia Pei was a little self-doubting, and felt that it might be better to find other masters directly, but he hesitated and swallowed the words back. The master has considered him so much, and he won't lose a piece of meat if he tries.

Hmm... so what's wrong with the lack of meat.

Zhang Yushi didn't refuse, but he didn't agree immediately either. After all, he holds an important position in the court, and he can't take care of many things. It's rare for His Royal Highness King Qin to ask him to do one thing. If he wants to do it, he must do it well. It's better to consider whether to agree or not, so as not to delay the child for nothing.

Zhang Yushi said that he would assign some homework to Xia Pei and make a decision after Xia Pei completed it.

Xia Pei didn't want to disappoint Xie Yuanshi's expectations, so he went into the room when he returned to the mansion, holding the book that Zhang Yushi asked him to read from morning till night.

Xie Jiu found a quiet and safe person from the hidden guards to take Xia Pei's place and take care of Xie Yuanshi's daily life. Xia Pei also secretly poked and sulked for a day, but he couldn't take care of these two things at the same time. Read more vigorously.

There was no Xia Pei's chattering voice around Xie Yuanshi, and he was still a little uncomfortable, but he was still considerate in all matters in his daily life. The new person was called Xie Dao. Although his name was a bit rough, he was very meticulous.

After Shen Yuzhu returned to the palace, he didn't come here for a few days, but when he said he was going to send Xie Yuan off, he sent someone to send over the guqin.

However, Xie Yuanshi felt that his original violin was easy to use, so he kept the violin sent by Shen Yuzhu and put it in the cabinet.

Xie Yuanshi had learned it before, so he had no foundation, and Shen Yuzhu took him to review it for a few days. In these few days, he practiced on the piano score by himself in his spare time.

This day was playing again, and a person who hadn't appeared for several days came from behind and sat next to Xie Yuanshi.

Xie Yuanshi's hands trembled, Shen Yuzhu corrected softly: "Wrong, this should be like this..."

He demonstrated again, but Xie Yuanshi still played two notes messed up, so he demonstrated half and half, and when the two parts were smooth, he played the whole sentence together.

Xie Yuanshi also learned quickly, and soon there was no problem with this sentence.

"Not busy today?"

"Well, today is fine." The piano from before was still on the table, Shen Yuzhu asked: "Have you received the piano I sent over earlier? Why don't you use it?"

Xie Yuanshi: "That piano is too expensive, this one is enough for me to practice."

"With a better piano, you can relax when you practice."

Xie Yuanshi nodded: "I will use this piano score when I learn it."

Shen Yuzhu smiled and said: "I can't tell that you are telling the truth or you are trying to play me off."

He bowed his head and leaned over, "How many songs have you practiced? Can you understand?"

Xie Yuanshi said it was okay, he turned a few pages forward, pointed to one of the positions and said, "I don't quite understand what the markings here mean."

Shen Yuzhu didn't understand Xie Yuan when he explained it, so he took him to play it again.

"understood."

Xie Yuanshi drew a soft pillow from the side for Shen Yuzhu, "Lie down for a while, and I'll play the best piece I practiced recently for you."

"Okay."

Shen Yuzhu leaned aside, Xie Yuanshi said: "Don't lie down on your back."

Shen Yuzhu was puzzled: "Why?"

"Well... I feel pressure from you sitting," he said.

Shen Yuzhu: "..."

"Okay." Although the reason was a bit outrageous, Shen Yuzhu still lay down.

"is this OK?"

"Okay, just close your eyes again."

Shen Yuzhu closed his eyes as required.

Xie Yuanshi played an extremely gentle and low-pitched piece of music, and at the end of the piece it was connected to the beginning, one after another, Shen Yuzhu's breathing gradually eased in the soothing voice.

After a long time, Xie Yuanshi stopped and sighed softly.

There is still bruising at the moment, and he doesn't have a good rest.

Xie Yuanshi put a blanket on Shen Yuzhu's body, and a familiar guard hurried in at the door, who was often used by Shen Yuzhu to pass on news.

If there is no urgent matter, the imperial guards should not disturb at will, Xie Yuanshi asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

The emperor ordered that once there is any news related to this matter, it should be reported immediately no matter when and where.

So the imperial guards told His Highness King Qin the news without thinking.

"Your Highness, just now someone from the subordinates came to report that there has been new progress in the investigation of the origin of the assassins in Prince Qin's Palace."

Xie Yuanshi looked down at the sleeping Shen Yuzhu, got up and signaled the guards to go out with him.

"Tell me carefully what's going on?"

The imperial guard said [-]: "Based on the information of the assassin's confession last time, we tracked down some suspicious people. We have been tracking and lurking for more than a month, and we just took control of one of their strongholds at the right time."

Xie Yuanshi narrowed his eyes: "Where is it?"

The imperial guard replied: "Your Highness, it's in Shangjing Xifang, Hongxianglou."

The name sounded familiar, and the guard reminded, "Your Highness, this is a well-known brothel on Xifang Street."

Xie Yuanshi nodded, Xifang is the most prosperous area in Shengjing, no wonder he has an impression.

"Wait for me here."

Xie Yuanshi went to change his coat and came back to let the guards lead the way.

The imperial guard originally came to report to the emperor, and asked, "Does Your Highness need to inform His Majesty?"

"Let him rest for a while." Shen Yuzhu was already very tired, so he can handle this matter. Xie Yuanshi left Xie Dao in the mansion and only brought Xie Jiu with him, "My people are waiting outside in the room, waiting for Your Majesty He will tell His Majesty when he wakes up."

The imperial guard just dutifully asked questions as usual, since His Royal Highness King Qin intends to follow him to deal with it personally, that would be great.

When Shen Yuzhu woke up, when Xie Yuan was not seen anywhere in the room, he stretched his neck, which was a little sore from sleep, and went out, and Xie Dao was guarding the door.

He actually fell asleep, and he was still sleeping so deeply, it took at least half an hour to say it, depending on the weather.

Shen Yuzhu asked Xie Dao while pressing his neck: "Where is Yuan Shi?"

Xie Dao respectfully said: "Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin took people to Hongxiang Tower half an hour ago."

Shen Yuzhu's neck "clicked", almost twisted, "Where did you go?"

Hongxiang Building...

Isn't that a brothel? !
