such as Yue Linyuan

The mansion shrouded in darkness was silent and depressing, like a lurking poisonous snake silently spit out a letter.

A palace official was wearing a black cloak and was led hastily in through the back door of the mansion.It was obviously not the first time for this palace man to come, he lowered his head and didn't look around, and there was no panic on his face.

The person leading the way led the palace servants into the secret and little-known underground chamber of the mansion. A few candles were lit in the secret chamber, and a vague figure sat behind the curtain, raising his hand after the palace servants saluted him. After a while, the guide immediately asked the palace man: "My master asks you, what is the situation in the palace now."

The palace man knelt down, didn't even dare to look directly at the curtain, just lay down on the ground, and replied with his forehead on his back: "That Si Yuanting has always been in the Xiefang Palace, and the imperial physician comes to take care of Si Yuanting every day. Healing, but I'm afraid it's useless. I heard that today I can't even feed the medicine. Your majesty has been throwing things and beating and scolding the palace people for several days. Yesterday, the prince was beaten by his majesty, and he kicked him flying. I couldn't get up today."

The guide looked at the curtain, saw the person behind the curtain move his hands a few more times, and then asked the palace man: "Are you sure no one has discovered the medicine you were given?"

The palace man hurriedly said: "No, no, half a month ago, the casserole for decocting medicine was changed to be changed every day. The previous casserole was broken as soon as it was changed, so it will not be discovered. In the past half month The medicine is only given every few days, and the medicine is only harmful to castrated eunuchs, it is useless to ordinary people, and it will never be discovered."

The people behind the curtain didn't move, whether they were thinking or something else, the dark secret room was so silent that only the sound of staggered breathing could be heard.

The palace man knelt on the ground for a long time, until the arched back began to tremble slightly, and the figure behind the curtain moved again.

Seeing the raised gesture, the guide asked, "Are you sure that the current eldest son of the emperor is not the emperor's own son?"

"Sure. Even if it was premature, the month of the eldest son is not correct, and the eldest son was kept in Kunning Palace until he was two years old. Except for Si Yuanting and the imperial physician, His Majesty never let anyone see the eldest son. One thing, in fact, it has been rumored in the Kunning Palace recently that the queen has an affair with a guard, and the guard always shows up at night to watch the night. What's more, the guard came after the queen took over the Kunning Palace eight years ago. It appeared in the palace." The palace man said, after many years in the palace, he naturally has his own contacts, as long as he has the heart, he will definitely be able to find out what he wants to know in the palace.

The person behind the curtain heard a slight movement here, as if leaning forward a little, then got up from the seat and stood up.I saw him take two steps forward, but suddenly turned his back, his back was obscured by the dark environment and heavy curtains.

The guide saw that the master waved his hand again, so he said to the palace man, "Get up, it's time for you to go back to the palace."

The palace servants didn't dare to say more, and kowtowed heavily to the person behind the curtain a few times, then got up from the ground, followed the guides and left the secret room again.

The air in the secret room is not circulated, it is even extremely dull, but perhaps because it is an underground secret room, the temperature is lower than the outside, so it gives people a very cold feeling, and the passage into the secret room is even worse. There wasn't even a candle, and the entrance of the passage looked extremely dark, as if some poison would rush out of it in the next second, opening its bloody mouth to innocent people.

It took a long time for the person behind the curtain of the secret room to lift the curtain and come out. He was about the same age as Si Yuanting, but the robe he was wearing was much more expensive.He was holding a string of beads in his hand, and he had been rolling beads one by one since the very beginning.

The dull brows and eyes looked extremely cold, and at this moment, his eyes were narrowed slightly, showing contempt. He gave a low "tsk", and stood alone in the middle of the secret room and muttered to himself: "How dare you tolerate an adulterous woman as a queen?" , and also raised the eldest son of Ye Zhong as the emperor, Chu Yuezhi, what kind of drug did Si Yuanting and Si Zhuxi give you to make you lose even your self-esteem."

It is ridiculous that such a person can be an emperor.

Leading Chu Shen's chubby little hand into the Xiefang Hall, Si Zhuxi lowered his head and saw his son's tense expression, so he stopped and squatted down in front of his son, and said, "What's the matter, aren't you happy to see uncle?"

Chu Shen's small face was tense, and his Danfeng eyes, which looked like Si Yuanting's, somehow showed a bit of grievance: "Is uncle really okay? The palace people are saying in private that uncle is going to die. And father Ever since my uncle got sick, I haven't come to see me anymore, is it because my uncle doesn't want me anymore?"

During this period of time, rumors abounded in the palace. Even though Chu Yuezhi had made an order not to discuss indiscriminately in the palace, there would still be fish that slipped through the net and spread to Chu Shendu. Besides, the matter was originally aimed at him, the eldest son of the emperor and the empress. Since Si Zhuxi came, he would naturally find a way to let Chu Shen hear those rumors alone.

Touching the top of Chu Shendu's hair, Si Zhuxi took Chu Shendu's hand and rubbed it in his palm, and said, "Don't think about it, you will know if uncle is okay when you go in. As for your father, you are his only eldest son." , no matter what happens, he will never want you."

Chu Shendu pursed his lips tightly, looking like Chu Yuezhi usually pursed his lips, but if he didn't say anything, no one would suspect that he was not Chu Yuezhi's biological son just by looking at his appearance.

He hugged Chu Shendu lightly again, and Si Zhuxi patted his straight back comfortingly, and let him go after his small body was no longer so stiff, got up and led him into the Xiefang Hall.

Si Yuanting and Chu Yuezhi were in the bedroom, probably discussing government affairs, and after hearing Wang Zhong's announcement, they stopped and looked at the entrance of the hall.

Chu Shen entered the bedroom alone, and saw Si Yuanting sitting on the bed, his small face showed a slightly flustered expression, then he broke away from Si Zhuxi's hand, ran to the side of the bed, lay down on the edge and looked up at Si Yuan. Ting asked as if he was about to cry, "Uncle, are you okay? Why are the palace people saying that you are going to die?"

Si Yuanting and Chu Yuezhi looked at each other when they heard the words, and exchanged a look of mutual understanding, and then Chu Yuezhi, who was also sitting on the side of the bed, bent down and picked up Chu Shendu, letting him sit on his own On the thigh, he asked: "That's all fake, look at uncle's mental state, doesn't it look like he's about to die?"

"Really? But why, my uncle hasn't gone to the morning court recently, and he doesn't go out of the palace anymore." Chu Shendu still didn't believe it. Although Si Yuanting looked really good and in good spirits, he still I remember reading in the book that before death, there will be a period of time when a person suddenly recovers to the way he was when he was not sick. This situation is called backlighting. After all the concerns were made clear, the person disappeared.

Chao Chu Shendu showed a slight smile, and Si Yuanting said gently: "Because someone wanted to harm my uncle, so my uncle simply claimed to be sick and hid himself, so that the bad guys can't find them. Those bad guys don't know the real situation, so they can only spread the word." Rumors, trying to force uncle to show up. So don't be afraid, uncle has been fine for a long time."

Chu Shendu always believed in Si Yuanting's words, he nodded, and grabbed Chu Yuezhi's sleeve again, Danfeng asked with grievance in his eyes: "Father, do you want to stop being Yuanyuan?"

"Yuanyuan" is Chu Shendu's nickname. When he was young, Chu Yuezhi saw that he always ate and slept, and he was carefree, white, fat and cute, so he simply called him "Yuanyuan". This nickname.

Si Zhuxi hated this nickname for a long time, thinking why her son still had such a silly nickname.But Chu Shendu liked him very much, and when he was still a baby who couldn't speak, every time Chu Yuezhi called him like this, he would wave his little hand and laugh "giggle".

"Yuanyuan is my father's only beloved son. How could my father not want Yuanyuan? Which palace man is talking nonsense?" Chu Yuezhi rubbed the flesh of Chu Shendu's cheek. He has always loved this child, He also treats Chu Shendu as his own son from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Shendu first looked at Si Zhuxi who was sitting on the couch beside him after entering the dormitory, then glanced at Si Yuanting, and finally raised his head to look at Chu Yuezhi with his lips pursed. After struggling for a while, he finally whispered She said calmly: "When Yuanyuan was sleeping at night, I heard the eunuch who was watching the night at the door say that Yuanyuan is not the child of the emperor's father, but yes, yes... it is the queen..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning of the words was understood by the three adults in the dormitory.

Chu Yuezhi hugged Chu Shendu's shoulders thoughtfully, children are sensitive, and Chu Shendu grew up in the palace, so he knew everything he needed to know early on, besides, Chu Shendu is a smart child , That's why these rumors in the palace made him so nervous and scared.

Without being silent for too long, Chu Yuezhi lowered his head and said to Chu Shen in a calm and firm voice: "Father, no matter who you hear, in this palace, the people you can trust will always be your mother, uncle, and father." .Yuanyuan remember, no matter in the past, present or future, you are the emperor's beloved son, the only beloved son, and no one can replace you."

The little hand that grabbed Chu Yuezhi's sleeve almost pulled off the silk thread of the cuff. Only after receiving Chu Yuezhi's reassurance did Chu Shendu's anxiety for the past few days began to dissipate slowly, and finally his small body was finally in place. Chu Yuezhi completely relaxed in his arms. He patted his chest and said, "Just talk about Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan looks so good-looking like her father. How could she not be his son?"

"..." Si Yuanting looked at the child's face that really grew more and more like him and Chu Yuezhi, then turned to look at Si Zhuxi, and said, "Zhuxi, do Chu Qi and I treat this child too much on weekdays?" I'm spoiled, why do I feel that his temperament is not like you, nor like me and Chu Qi when we were young."

At least, he and Chu Yuezhi couldn't say such narcissistic words when they were young.

Glancing at Si Yuanting with a smile, Si Zhuxi said, "Cousin only came to ask this question now, don't you think it's too late?"
