At that time, during the first month of the first lunar month, there was a holiday in the court, and needles were forbidden in the boudoir. It was all free time. Because of Emperor Yongqing's summons, Chu Chen was outside waiting for the order.

Feng Jia, who was meeting Concubine Zhen, hurriedly lowered his hands and avoided it.Concubine Zhen usually saw him handsome and proud, so she paused for a while, leaving only three or four young eunuchs to agree, and said charmingly: "Master Chu has worked hard, why did you come here so early in the morning?"

Chu Chen retreated several steps in a row, far away from Concubine Zhen, and then saluted and said: "Your Majesty summoned, because I got two Buddhist scriptures from outsiders the day before yesterday. Although the translation is good, there are still some shortcomings. Order I will invite eminent monks to review and polish it together."

After listening to these two Buddhist collections, Concubine Zhen said with a smile: "This Buddhist scripture was respected by Princess Lian on my birthday, and my palace also praised it very much after reading it."

Concubine Zhen didn't think about it when she said it, but Chu Chen listened carefully, and the brows moved slightly.

After seeing Concubine Zhen off, Emperor Yongqing had just eaten some rice soup and was recuperating. Chu Chen eased his hands and feet and entered the room. Emperor Yongqing looked up and saw him, first gave him a seat, and then asked him to read the translated rhetoric to him.

Chu Chen chose an article according to his words, and Emperor Yongqing patted his knees and shook his head happily, appreciating it endlessly, and said: "It's really wonderful, Aiqing really has no books to know!" a yawn.

After hearing this, Chu Chen secretly took a look at Emperor Yongqing, and saw that his eyes were reddened and his cheeks were as red as fire, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty is not feeling well, do you want to call the imperial physician?"

Emperor Yongqing waved his hand and said with a nonchalant smile: "It doesn't matter, the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor doesn't work, and the fairy ointment presented by Concubine Zhen is better. If you use just a little fingernail, your spirit will be boosted." , and can sleep for an hour or two at night."

Chu Chen had a heart, and raised his brows pretending to be curious: "What kind of fairy ointment is so magical? I often suffer from insomnia, and I beg Your Majesty to give me some advice."

Emperor Yongqing did not doubt that he was there, and took out a small round celadon bowl from the hidden compartment underneath. Chu Chen took it respectfully, sniffed it under his nose, and a sweet and sweet fragrance rushed into his nostrils. After reacting, he couldn't help being so angry that his face was as golden as paper, and it was difficult to attack.

Suddenly there was a "huh" sound from the curtain, and it turned out that Concubine Zhen had gone and returned. When she saw the small round bowl in Chu Chen's hand, her pretty face turned white instantly, and she reluctantly smiled at Emperor Yongqing: "All blessings, Your Majesty, my concubine!" The concubine didn't know Master Chu was still here, so she came in rashly."

Without waiting for Emperor Yongqing to speak, Chu Chen hurriedly retreated behind the curtain, bowed his head and said, "I won't disturb your Majesty's conversation with your empress, I will leave." He put down his round bowl and left quietly.

Concubine Zhen stared at his back for a long time, the silk handkerchief in her hand was already crumpled.

After coming out of the palace, Chu Chen walked around and made calculations, thinking to himself: That bitch of the Zhen family should have used the hibiscus ointment for His Majesty for a while. Judging from the current situation, he has already become addicted. I don't know how the prince will deal with it.

Unexpectedly, by coincidence, news came from the palace the next morning, asking him to go over the palace with Wen Renyu to discuss something important.

When he saw Shui Lan and saw his worried face, he asked: "My lord asked us two to come, but what's the urgent order?"

Shui Lan didn't say anything, just put the handkerchief on the table.Chu Chen and Wen Renyu looked at each other for a while, but Wen Renyu stretched out his hand to grab it, stared at it, and said, "The embroidery of this handkerchief should be from the palace, and the blood on it..."

Only then did Shui Lan tell everything about how to get the veil, and Chu Chen naturally told the truth about what he had seen and heard.Wen Renyu didn't wait to finish, clapping his hands in surprise and joy: "This is a god-given opportunity, when will the prince not move now? As long as this news is leaked out, the Zhen family will be captured in one fell swoop, and then His Majesty will be taken away." It's in your hands, why worry about not having a prosperous future? Your lord, please make a decision!"

Chu Chen became a little anxious when he heard the people talking, so he glanced at him and said, "Don't say that, the prince must have made up his mind to call you and me here, and we should follow the prince's orders."

Hearing people's words, seeing him talking, also woke up and stopped talking.Shui Lan's face is always full of joy and anger, as quiet as a deep pool, but sighed lowly: "Your Majesty's heart disease is hard to get rid of, so he was bewitched by the Zhen family. As your majesty's uncle, I should Instead of exhorting the previous king, one or two."

Hearing people's words, he didn't understand what he meant, so he asked, "how can the prince persuade you?"

Shui Lan glanced at Chu Chen, said with a sneer, "Your Majesty probably doesn't know what this fairy ointment is. Concubine Zhen ran into Chu Chen today, and within two days she must find out about Chu Chen. So I'll tell you a good thing: I'll be on guard when I go back for two days. However, there's no need to do anything about it, please His Majesty kill that bitch himself, so we won't get involved."

The two couldn't help being shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked quietly: "My lord, think twice, now the Zhen family has won the emperor's heart alone, and there is a dragon fetus in her womb, and the queen is just around the corner, how could it be..."

When Shui Lan saw the two of them like this, he sneered lightly: "You guys, after all, you don't understand Your Majesty." You can do it."

Not long after Chu Chen returned to the mansion, someone from the palace sent to invite him again, but it was not the usual eunuch Xia who came, so he was a little suspicious, and while walking, he asked: "This father-in-law, Your Majesty What's the matter calling me?"

The little eunuch didn't look back, and muttered in his mouth: "How do we know what His Majesty means? Master Chu, you should go as soon as possible, otherwise the servants will be scolded if you are late."

Just as he was talking, he turned around and came to a secluded place, when he suddenly saw a court lady approaching, Chu Chen hurriedly retreated to the side, frowned and said, "Is there no avoidance on this road?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that the little eunuch had long since disappeared, his heart froze, and he turned around quickly to turn back from the original road, but before he could lift his feet, someone grabbed his sleeve.

Chu Chen refused to even turn his head. There was no one around here, and the feeling of uneasiness spread more and more, but the hand climbed up like a water snake, exuding a soft and charming fragrance, which made him tremble.

"This Palace and Master Chu are really destined." The beauty exhaled like blue in the ear, but to Chu Chen, it sounded like a ghost howling. King Lian's words echoed in his mind all the time, which made him wake up instantly.

Concubine Zhen smiled charmingly, stretched out her nails that were dyed red by impatiens, caressed Chu Chen's earlobe intentionally or unintentionally, causing her skin to shudder, and said softly and plaintively: "I have already admired your lord's literary talent." For a long time, don't you even owe me a look?"

Chu Chen backed away in disgust, but Concubine Zhen pressed forward step by step, blocking his way.

At this critical juncture, a servant girl broke in suddenly with a lamp, and shouted in a panic: "It's not good, ma'am, you go back to Yonghe Palace to have a look, just now a group of Habayashi soldiers came, something big happened! "

Because the maidservant is Concubine Zhen's dowry maid, she has seen a lot of troubles and turmoil, and it is rare to see her flustered like this.Concubine Zhen was stunned, so she had to let Chu Chen go for the time being, and she did not forget to say harsh words before leaving: "If I hear even a word of gossip about today's matter, Master Chu should know that I am not a tolerant person." , and left in a hurry.

The moonlight is cold, the palace walls are deep, and a few lights are lit in the scattered palaces.Chu Chen walked alone for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was a little bit confused: If Concubine Zhen planned to frame her as a crime today, could it be such a coincidence that something happened in the Yonghe Palace and the siege was resolved?

He was lowering his head and concentrating on figuring it out, but he didn't know that there was a person standing at the gate of the palace, holding a horn lamp, the dimly lit candle was extraordinarily warm in the desolate night.

As soon as Chu Chen raised his head, Wen Renyu quickly walked up to him, with a warm smile on his face and eyes: "Are you scared? Your lord has a clever plan, and this time it's better to act first. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for Mrs. Zhen to escape."

After finishing speaking, Wen Renyu patted his arm very naturally, revealing an indescribable intimacy.Chu Chen stared at him blankly, and said, "Why are you here?"

Wen Renyu led him into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and said with a smile: "My lord sent someone to your house to inquire. As soon as I heard that you had gone to the palace, he sent someone to tell me to come here to wait for you. You rest first." In a while, I'm afraid there will be another storm tomorrow."

As long as he saw and heard people's words, most of Chu Chen's heart was relieved.Although I don't know what kind of plan Lian Wang has, but since I heard people say it, it should be an unusual method.

You need to know the bottom line, and we will break it down next time.
