Zheshu

Chapter 71
The night gradually returned to tranquility, and everyone in the mansion rested. Occasionally, a few maids and women were patrolling the courtyard with red lanterns, and then there was no movement.

A corner door in the backyard where no one usually walked was suddenly opened from the inside, and a strange black figure looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one was following, it bent down and went out quietly.

Passing through the back alley, she went straight to the Sanjin courtyard where Yuanfu lived, and knocked on the door.

"Is the third master there?"

The people inside were not impatient: "The third master has rested."

The mother-in-law was not angry either, she looked back vigilantly, and said, "Quick, I have important news to report."

When the people inside heard the words, they closed the door and hurried back to answer, and invited the woman in after a while.

The third master was wrapped in a long blue robe, and stood by the rockery to wait. When the old woman came, he said: "What makes you so anxious?"

Today's third master, despite his usual useless appearance, stands there with his slightly plump body, which seems a bit burly.

The mother-in-law hurriedly said what she heard today: "The mansion is packing up, it seems to be preparing to send the princess and that Ling'er girl away."

"Has Ling'er's identity been found out?" The third master asked coldly.

"I found out that she is the half-sister of King Huainan, born blind." The woman said again: "I have to tell the master about this matter, they probably want to leave Great Wei."

"I know." The third master nodded, staring at her with eyes like poisonous snakes: "Don't reveal your secrets. If you reveal your secrets, you should know what to do?"

The mother-in-law trembled and nodded hurriedly.

The third master raised his hand to let her go back, and he himself turned around to go to the study.

On the way there, I ran into a young man, and immediately turned into the usual cowardly look, nodded to the saluting young man, yawned and went into the study.

The mother-in-law looked at the cold moon in the sky, it was clearly August, but she couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly turned and went back.

But in Caiyuan Mansion, he got into a small alley, and there was a shadow behind him.

"Where are you going?"

When the old woman heard this, she knelt on the ground in fright: "Master Yuan!"

Yuan Ye stared at the mother-in-law coldly, and the princess said that if he asked him to set a fixed time around the corner gates, he would be rewarded if he stared at the corners for a few nights, which is still the case now.

"Where are you going?" Yuan Ye asked again.

The mother-in-law was not sure if he had discovered her secret, so she hesitated and did not bite the poisonous sac in her mouth, she just said: "Aunt Rou asked the servant to pass a message to the master of the Yuan family quietly, and even rewarded the servant with two coins. "

"That's it." Yuan Ye didn't expose her, and said again: "I happened to pass by too, and I called you when I saw your back familiarly. Come on, you go back, and you are not allowed to sneak out in the middle of the night, or you will sue the princess. , break your leg."

"Yes." The mother-in-law responded repeatedly, stood up and looked at Yuan Ye suspiciously. Seeing that he simply walked away with his chest in his arms, he frowned, turned his head and went back without thinking about it.

After going back for two days, there was no change in the mansion, so I dared to rest assured.

One day, Suqiu just ran into her: "Are you the woman in charge of the carriage?"

When the old woman heard this, she quickly laughed and said, "Young lady Yao, what do you want Miss Suqiu to say?"

Suqiu sighed lightly, didn't explain much, just said: "You hurry up and prepare two better carriages, and prepare them at the corner gate of the east courtyard tonight, no need to keep anyone, I'm useful."

When Mrs. Yao heard this, she thought that the people in the mansion were leaving, and said with a smile: "Which one is leaving the mansion, and what kind of carriage do you want? A big carriage with a green cover and green curtains is acceptable?"

Su Qiu frowned slightly: "No need, just prepare two low-key ones, the simpler the better."

"Your servant obeys." Mrs. Yao nodded yes, and when Suqiu left, she smiled and hurried to her own small room, not long after, a white pigeon flew out of her room.

In the backyard, Shen Qing has already got up at this moment, dressed in plain clothes, her complexion is already ruddy, because she has a background in martial arts, so she replied very quickly, and now she can hug the child to coax her It's time to play.

"Princess." Su Qiu came in.

Su Fu handed the baby in his arms to the nanny at the side, and after sending everyone out, he smiled and said, "It's ready."

"All the news is released, just wait for tonight." Su Qiu said with a smile.

Shen Qing nodded slightly, and leaned on the limp to do it.There is an ice box in the room, so even on an August day, the room doesn't feel hot.

Su Qiu stood aside and paused: "Princess, what should the Yuan family do?"

"If you don't need us to deal with it, there will be consequences." When she was in Su Mu's mansion, the Yuan family was already in a serious deficit. Now that Wuhuan doesn't care about it, it's impossible for those female relatives in the house to live a good life. Even if you can make trouble, it's just a little jump.

Ling'er came here in the afternoon, and there were many fine beads of sweat on her forehead. As soon as she entered the room, she turned towards Shen Qing and said, "Sister-in-law Qingqing, what did you call Ling'er for?"

Shen Qing looked at Suqiu, Suqiu understood, smiled lightly and said: "There are litchi sellers in the market, the concubine asked the servants to buy two baskets, and iced them with ice cubes. It's just right now, so I invited them You come."

Ling'er smiled sweetly: "Really, lychees?" She usually doesn't eat these snacks, and her days are as light as a fairy.

Shen Qing smiled slightly, motioning everyone to keep quiet, quietly walked around behind Linger, raised her hand and touched her sleeping point.

The mother who followed Ling'er was puzzled, Shen Qing just smiled and said: "I'm afraid I will have to trouble the mother to suffer a little bit tonight."

Mammy was still puzzled, turned her head again, and a girl in white clothes who was about the same stature as Linger walked out of the room, with the same hair bun and the same figure, the only thing was that her face was covered with a veil so that people could not see it. look.

The night came quickly, and Ji Wuhuan sent a letter back early, saying that she would not be able to return until later this evening.

After Shen Qing had dinner quietly, she asked people to turn off the lights and go to bed. It was the first time that the Huainan Palace had turned off the lights so early, which made Yuanrou complain for a while.

Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Yao took two carriages with gray curtains and waited at the back corner door of the east courtyard. Seeing that it was getting late, just as she was getting impatient, she finally heard the sound.

"Slow down."

It was Shen Qing's voice, and the mother-in-law could hear it clearly.

Not long after, the rear corner door opened, and Shen Qing's figure appeared.

Shen Qing didn't seem to see her, and hurriedly helped the girl in white clothes into the carriage with a nun, and then a woman holding a child got into the carriage behind, the only strange thing was that the woman was holding the child. The child was covered tightly, and there was no crying.

"what happened?"

When Mrs. Yao was in a daze, Suqiu looked at her and asked strangely.

Granny Yao came back to her senses, shook her head and smiled, "It's all right, it's just that it's so late, where is the princess going?"

Shen Qing got into the carriage behind, smiled lightly: "You don't have to follow, just go back and rest." After saying that, she sent someone to drive the carriage away.

Mrs. Yao followed at the entrance of the alley and watched, knowing that she saw the carriage going towards the city gate, so she pursed her lips and closed the back corner door, and hurried to Yuan Mansion again.

Seeing that it was the carriage of Huainan Prince's Mansion, the guard at the city gate quickly opened the city gate and let the carriage go out.

The carriage ran all the way forward, and the coachman whipped the horse's buttocks hard, hoping that the horse could run faster. After running about thirty miles, when a little light could be seen in the sky, suddenly rushed out of the wilderness. A group of people come.

"Master has ordered, Shen Qing and Ling'er will stay alive, and kill the others!" After the leader shouted, he went straight to the carriage and killed them.

They approached the carriage, the strangest thing was that they had rushed over, there was no movement in the two carriages, only the carriage driver fled on horseback.

Several people felt strange and approached cautiously. One of them directly took a sword and sliced ​​open half of the carriage cover, but there was no one inside.

"what happened?"

The leader was wondering, when suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes on the official road, and someone shouted full of enthusiasm: "Where are the bandits, catch them!"

A group of three and forty people were all arrested.

In the city, Shen Qing took people to another carriage and walked out of the city through another city gate, but she did not go any further, but waited at the gate of the city.

The third master thought that the matter was accomplished, and when the city gate opened at dawn, he was going out of the city. When he came out on a horse, he saw the carriage lying there early.

"Third Uncle, where are you going?" Shen Qing lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the sullen-looking Third Master. This is still the previous Third Master.

The third master never thought that it was Shen Qing. Thinking of Mrs. Yao's hasty reply, he thought it was really so easy to succeed.

"I didn't expect to fall into your trick."

Shen Qing didn't want to say more, four or five people with long swords got out of another carriage, looked at the soldiers who just changed defense at the city gate, and stepped forward with their swords.

Shen Qing's carriage made another half circle around the city, and entered the city from the previous city gate. Last night, the guard looked at the leading carriage, and was a little puzzled: "Go out in the middle of the night and come back early in the morning. Are people crazy?"

"Who knows, have you heard that the people in the patrol battalion arrested thirty or forty bandits yesterday, and they were lucky to come back safely." A well-informed person said.

The guard smiled and said nothing more.

When Shen Qing returned to Huainan Palace, Su Qiu had already grabbed three or four people who came to her courtyard at night.

"Where's the child?" Shen Qing asked immediately after entering the hospital.

Suqiu smiled: "Don't worry, the child is by the prince's side, and Miss Ling'er is also there, so it doesn't matter."

Shen Qing didn't see the child, but still felt uneasy.It was just a small test yesterday, but it attracted so many people with evil intentions. There are so many spies and killers hidden in this Nuoda palace.

"Where is the prince now?" she continued.

"My lord went to the place where Ji Wuyou lives now, and he should be back soon." Su Qiu whispered.

The nanny and nanny behind them were blue-eyed, and they looked like they hadn't slept well. Hearing the conversation between the two was even more terrified. The prince took his little master and Ling'er out yesterday, how dangerous it would be nah!

Shen Qing nodded, before she could change her clothes, she went back to the door.

When Ji Wuhuan came back, it was broad daylight, the child was sleeping soundly in his arms, and Ling'er woke up, supported by a girl.

"Is it okay?" Shen Qingli asked anxiously at the door.

Ji Wuhuan looked at his lovely wife standing at the door looking forward to it, and his heart was filled with warmth.

Looking at the son in his arms who didn't recognize his birth at all, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's good to hold him all night."

After all, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the people behind him, held back her words and didn't ask any questions, and when she returned to the yard, she hurriedly said: "How is it?"

"The emperor asked me to pay a visit to Ji Wuyou yesterday, so naturally everything is fine." Ji Wuhuan looked very relaxed, looked at Shen Qing, put the child down, and then stepped forward to hug her distressedly: "You What, are you tired?"

Shen Qing was embraced by him, and she smiled slightly: "You have arranged all the guards outside the city, how can I be tired."

The corners of Ji Wuhuan's mouth raised, feeling the two balls she was pressing on her body, she couldn't help but a wave of evil fire sprang up again, but it was daytime anyway, and she stayed up all night, so she just said: "I'll take care of the rest. ,take a good rest."

Shen Qing felt relieved, looked at An An who was still waving her little hands in her sleep, and smiled in response, but only after Ji Wuhuan went out, did she suppress her smile.The emperor asked Wuhuan to see Ji Wuyou, what was he trying to do, to lure him to kill Ji Wuyou, or was there some other purpose?
It's just that the emperor's move now, she will not kill Ji Wuyou for the time being, but they can cut off the minions they left in the capital one by one!

Ji Wuhuan left the room and called Yuan Ye directly to the study.

"What's the matter?" Ji Wuhuan asked.

Yuan also looked at Ji Wuhuan: "My lord, do you really want to do this?"

Ji Wuhuan's eyes were cold, and she stood in front of the desk with her hands behind her back, looking at the paintings on top. The woman in the painting was smiling at Yan Yan, holding a crying child with her calves in her arms, and she couldn't help showing her eyes. Sisi smiled: "He wants to put this king to death. If I was single before, that's fine, but it's different now. I have a wife and children." I want to protect them, give them the best in the world, and don't let them They suffer a little.

Yuan Ye heard the words and nodded: "I understand. The subordinates you ordered have already been arranged. The [-] troops under your command have already set out quietly and will come from Huiyin Mountain. They have never been haunted, and if you come out from Huiyin Mountain, you can reach the capital in a day's journey."

"Hmm." Ji Wuhuan responded lightly: "Let the army not act rashly for the time being, and use all the money taken from Zhuangzi before to hoard food and grass. Don't hoard from the capital, so as not to be discovered."

"Yes." Yuan Ye nodded, but he was relieved after all.The prince has fought in the battlefield for more than ten years, and his achievements are outstanding. It is not comparable to the emperor who has won several battles under the guidance of an old general. Ji Wuhuan's wisdom and strategy are achieved in the battlefield.

Ji Wuhuan turned to the desk and sat down, rolled up the painting, took out the painting tube and put it away, and then said: "Go and invite the Ninth Prince." Ji Rui was also named king, and the palace is not far from here. It was also specially arranged by Ji Yun. Both Ji Rui and Ji Wuhuan were thorns in his eyes.

The old lady of the Yuan family was reprimanding her servants, now that the third lady has a daughter who has married into the Huainan palace, and it was ordered by the emperor himself, she can't move.The eldest madam was also brought back by her as the housekeeper, so she couldn't move, so she could only find the servants around her to beat and scold her.

Rui'er burst into tears of grievance, and Yuan Ning'er did not forget to add fuel and jealousy: "I saw that she was not a quiet person before, and if I have nothing to do, I still have to go to Princess Huainan to show my hospitality."

"No servant..." Before Rui'er finished speaking, the old lady directly pinched her body hard.

The old lady was also smart, she didn't forget to twist her face and neck, she specially looked for the kind of skinless body to twist, Rui'er turned pale as soon as she went down.

The eldest lady devoted herself to taking care of Yuan Shuang, who was somewhat insane. Seeing her former daughter, who looked like a ten-year-old woman, her heart felt like a knife.Now Yuan Song has also been beheaded, and her natal family does not allow her to go back, so she has nothing left except this daughter.

"Shuang'er, eat something more." The eldest lady went to feed the meal, but Yuan Shuang knocked down the bowl in her hand, and yelled at the old lady without saying a word, crying while shouting, the old man The person was sitting on the seat unable to move and could only curse.

The third lady watched all this coldly, and just as she was about to get up and leave, someone suddenly came outside and carried back the third master's body.

The third wife immediately collapsed to the ground, and the last man of the Yuan family was gone!

"Yesterday there were bandits outside the city, maybe they were killed by bandits." The yamen servant who came to send him off looked at a room full of crazy or stupid women, and it was a little unbelievable that the once glorious and solemn mansion, It turned into what it is today.

As soon as the old lady saw the corpse, she immediately vomited a mouthful of blood and passed out immediately.

Third Madam and Yuan Ning'er burst into tears, took the money left in the mansion, and arranged for the funeral, but they had other ideas in their hearts.

The news about the Yuan Mansion spread, and everyone sighed, but they all said that they deserved their own punishment and that they deserved to die. After all, everyone knew about the old lady's unethical behavior and ran to the gate of the Huainan Palace to yell at him, not to mention that Yuan Song was a corrupt official.

The discussion spread widely, reaching Ji Wuyou who was drinking tea in another courtyard.

"All of them were arrested, the third master was killed..." Ji Wuyou said indifferently, Liu Yemei frowned slightly, overflowing with delicacy, but it was hard to hide the sarcasm in her bright eyes: "She is amazing."

"What should we do? If we continue to be passive, we will be wiped out by her in the capital." Asked by others.

Ji Wuyou supported her wide sleeves, poured another cup of tea slowly, and said with a slight smile, "No hurry, she still has opponents."

"what do you mean……"

"Ms. Ningguo's family, I heard that she is going to enter the palace as a concubine soon?" Ji Wuyou asked.

The others frowned slightly when they heard the words: "You want to attack her? We don't know the people in Ningguo Mansion well..."

"It doesn't matter." Ji Wuhuan raised her red lips slightly: "Duke Ning Guo was able to abandon Duke Su Mu on the battlefield back then, so it can be seen that he is a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It is best to deal with such a person. Go ahead and let others take the lead. Come on, let's wait for Ah Li...the emperor to come over and talk about it."

Seeing her continue to sip tea leisurely, the others didn't dare to say more, turned their heads and backed away.

As soon as he left, Ji Wuyou's personal maid came over: "What if the emperor wants to keep Shen Qing alive? He was willing to kill him when you threatened him like that. Now you can't threaten him anymore, servant girl Fear of a resurgence."

"Didn't he say that he has no interest in female sex?" Ji Wuyou smiled slightly.

The maid said again: "But the emperor is a man of blood, even if it's not Shen Qing, he will be another woman. You don't have many advantages."

"He didn't dare." Ji Wuyou smiled and said, "The King of Dongyang County belongs to me, he should have guessed it a long time ago, and dared to betray me, unless he really doesn't want that position." Ji Wuyou's beautiful eyes turned lightly , stood up and looked at the sunlight falling from the leaves, raised his plain white hand to catch it, and smiled slightly: "He will die without me..."

"Then Shen Qing, shall we still keep alive?"

"Keep."

"And what about her child?"

Ji Wuyou smiled: "The living Shen Qing, treat it as a gift from me, child, just kill him."

"Yes!"

Shen Qing woke up from a dream. In the dream, Xuanyuanli's sword was not aimed at her, but at her child.

Looking at the sunlight outside the window, she slowly came to her senses, her heartbeat gradually calmed down, and she called Suqiu in: "Where is the child?"

"Nurse is carrying it." Suqiu looked at her strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Shen Qing got up and went directly to find the child, and was relieved when she saw the nanny sitting under the eaves coaxing the child.

"Go ask Yuanrou to come and see me." Shen Qing saw the child's clenched fists in the sun, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qiu hurriedly sent people away, and then looked at Shen Qing: "What is the princess still worried about?" Now that the plan is well planned, they can counterattack whoever makes the first move.

"I always have a bad premonition." Shen Qing couldn't tell what the feeling of loss in her heart was, but she always felt uneasy and always felt that something would happen.

Suqiu couldn't comfort her, so she could only say: "Xia Rao has been watching Xuanyuanli all the way, and Di Yun has more and more people in his hands, don't worry."

Shen Qing responded lightly, but how could she really feel relieved.If you want to rest assured, I'm afraid they will wait until Xuanyuan Li and Ji Wuyou are all dead, and they will let go of everything here and find a place outside the world to live a simple life.

She shook her head and didn't think about it any more. It happened that Yuanrou also rushed over in a panic. Her eyes were a little red, but there was no sadness in them. The third master probably didn't have much affection for her.

"Go back and see it?" Shen Qing didn't let her see the child, and led her to the flower hall.

Yuan Rou sat on the side seat, sobbed a few times before saying: "Now mother and grandmother are supported by Rou Er, Rou Er dare not be too sad."

Shen Qing raised the corners of her lips playfully, and looked at her with a smile: "I called you here this time to tell you something."

Yuan Rou quietly tightened the handkerchief in her hand, raised her eyes and said pitifully: "Wangfei just give orders."

"Starting from today..." Shen Qing's voice paused, Yuan Rou's heart suddenly lifted, and she heard Shen Qing say: "You are a side concubine, you can come and have breakfast with us every day. "

Yuan Rou was surprised and delighted when she heard the words, the emperor asked her to inquire about some news, but Shen Qing and the others did not allow her to enter the courtyard at all, so she had no way of inquiring. Seeing that she invited herself, she immediately got up and thanked her.

Shen Qing looked at her and only lightly held up the teacup. The emperor sent her here because he thought she had a relationship with him, so he wouldn't be on guard against her. Now the emperor's move is probably going to become useless.

After dismissing Yunrou, Lin Miaoyue, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly handed over a greeting card.

"When will you be here?" Shen Qing asked directly without looking at the greeting card.

"Come tomorrow." Su Qiu said: "According to the outside news, Lin Miaoyue has already got the emperor's favor, and will soon enter the palace as a concubine."

"It's a good thing." Shen Qing knew that Lin Miaoyue would set her sights on Ji Yun when she gave up Ji Wuhuan. A woman like her who is full of calculations would never marry an ordinary person for the rest of her life. What's more, the one she set her sights on should also be higher position.

Seeing her like this, Suqiu chuckled and said, "You are relieved." Lin Miaoyue didn't like her and turned into a concubine, but she didn't know what method to use.

Shen Qing smiled slightly: "Don't worry about her, if she enters the palace, she will have to deal with more people."

Seeing that she was so relieved, Suqiu didn't think much about it.

Later, Ji Wuhuan came back, and Shen Qing specially ordered two extra cold dishes to be prepared. After eating and washing up, the two hugged each other and lay down on the bed.

Ji Wuhuan knew that Shen Qing was not yet confinement, so she never dared to move around, but smelling the fragrance on her body, and seeing the faint charm in the corners of her eyes and brows, she felt that there was a small hand in her heart, His whole body itched from scratching.

"Qing'er." Ji Wuhuan's voice became hoarse, but her eyes were very clear.

Shen Qing put her arms around his muscular waist and smiled lowly: "Your Majesty can't wait?"

Ji Wuhuan's ears were reddened by her words, and she stretched her hand along the skirt of her clothes: "Qing'er talks nonsense, I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Shen Qing's eyes were shining brightly, staring at Ji Wuhuan's slightly pursed thin lips, she leaned forward and took a sip, tasted it as a gesture, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Sweet."

Ji Wuhuan's whole body became hot, and her eyes became darker, but she was rational, even though her body was bitten by thousands of ants, she still held her tightly in her arms, pretending to be angry: "If you are restless, you will I have suffered."

"Have you suffered?" Shen Qing blinked her eyes, but her little hands became restless.

Ji Wuhuan's eyes widened suddenly, but she looked down at the smirk on her mouth, her eyes darkened, and her voice became hoarse: "Qing'er, you started the fire..."

The night passed, and Suqiu slept soundly in the ear room, but dreamed back in the middle of the night, as if she heard Ji Wuhuan's muffled moans that seemed to be in pain.

Early the next morning, Ji Wuhuan went to court refreshed, leaving Shen Qing still sound asleep. When Suqiu saw a basin of water and a towel on the table not far away, she seemed to be Knowing something, she couldn't help but blushed, and hurriedly turned her head to stop the maids who were about to serve the food.

Shen Qing fell asleep until noon, and An An clamored for Shen Qing to hug her, so the nanny had to bring the baby over. When she caught a glimpse of the spring in the corner of Shen Qing's eyes, she kindly reminded her because she knew that Shen Qing never put on airs with them. One sentence: "Princess, you are still in confinement, if the prince can't bear it, you must not give it to..." The nanny said with concern.

Shen Qing knew what she was talking about, her face blushed suddenly: "Don't worry."

The nanny was puzzled, but seeing her appearance and the prince's good mood all morning, she always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't notice Shen Qing's flushed face and slightly clenched palms.

After comforting An'an, after lunch, Lin Miaoyue came after two quarters past noon.

I haven't seen Shen Qing for more than half a year. When Lin Miaoyue saw Shen Qing, she thought that she must be fat and ugly after giving birth. Unexpectedly, although she became plumper, her face became fairer and more tender. Because of the heat, her face was glowing. A little rosy, the corners of the eyes and the brows are charming like a girl's, and the exquisite figure, the thin shirt in front of her seems to be unable to cover it.

Seeing that her eyes were fixed on her upper body, Shen Qing was slightly embarrassed, coughed lightly, Lin Miaoyue came back to her senses, and looked at Shen Qing with a smile: "Long time no see, the princess looks even more beautiful."

Shen Qing smiled faintly: "Miss Lin came here on purpose, but is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just bored at home with no one to talk to, thinking that the concubine just gave birth to a child, and I must be lonely by myself, so I came here to accompany the concubine to relieve the boredom." Lin Miaoyue looked at Shen Qing with bright eyes, and stood upright. , as if looking at other people through her.

When Shen Qing heard the mention of the child, she frowned subconsciously. Just in time, the nurse came over in a hurry, and when she saw that there were guests, she quietly retreated to the side.

Shen Qing put children first, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

The nanny got the words, so she stepped forward and said: "Young master, I don't know what happened just now, and I couldn't stop crying."

Hearing this, Shen Qing hurriedly got up, looked at Lin Miaoyue: "Please Miss Lin later."

"I'll go see the young master too." Lin Miaoyue said.

When Shen Qing heard this, she stopped in her footsteps: "The child is noisy, Ms. Lin should wait later."

Her words were unquestionable, Lin Miaoyue smiled slightly as she watched her hurriedly leaving footsteps.

When Shen Qing went to the child's room, she saw that the child was sleeping peacefully. The nanny came over and pointed to the room.

Shen Qing hurriedly stepped over again, only to find that there was a person standing inside.This person is none other than the eldest prince who was sent away by the emperor.

The eldest prince put a brocade box in his hand and put it aside. Seeing Shen Qing approaching, he quickly smiled: "The road to the desert is too far away, so I'm coming back."

Shen Qing was puzzled: "The eldest prince is coming back now, not just to deliver things."

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows slightly, and wrapped his cloak tighter: "I'll borrow it for a few days."

Shen Qing was puzzled, his slightly white lips parted, revealing a smile, and the whole person stepped back, exposing half of his arm, but it seemed to be rotten, and his bones could be seen faintly.

The nanny was so frightened that she was about to open her mouth to shout, but Suqiu covered her mouth.

"Princess, what should I do?"

Shen Qing was more concerned about how he entered An'an's room without disturbing the guards of the palace: "Go and find out how he got in first, and then invite Nie Sheng to come in secretly. Don't reveal a word about this matter. Wait until the prince comes back."

The nanny and Su Qiu nodded together, Shen Qing was still worried, but there was Lin Miaoyue in front of her, but she always felt that there seemed to be some relationship between the two.

"Suqiu stay and take care of An'an." After finishing speaking, she walked quickly to the flower hall. Sure enough, just as she arrived, the maid beside Lin Miaoyue was whispering something to her. When she saw Shen Qing appearing, she hurriedly stood back , lowered his head.

Lin Miaoyue's face was calm, seeing Shen Qing, she just smiled and said: "Princess, how is the young master?"

Shen Qing smiled lightly: "Nothing."

"That's good. The young master is still so young, it's best to be safe." After finishing speaking, after Shen Qing sat down, he said: "In a few days, I will enter the palace. The emperor appointed me as the concubine, the princess Did you ever know?"

Shen Qing looked into her eyes without showing off, only indifferent.He couldn't help but smiled, and didn't intend to say these words to her. He looked at the sachet on her waist, sniffed the faint fragrance from it, and smiled lightly: "The sachet on Miss Lin's waist is very good."

Lin Miaoyue's palms tightened slightly, and she went to look at Shen Qing, only to see that she had lowered her brows and eyes to drink tea, she could not see any other emotions, but quietly took off the sachet and put it in her purse.

From the beginning to the end, Shen Qing didn't move a single bit. Lin Miaoyue euphemistically proposed several times to go for a walk in the yard, but Shen Qing used excuses to shirk it. She didn't leave until Ji Wuhuan was about to arrive at the mansion. up.

Shen Qing looked at the place where she had sat, her eyes suddenly became darker.When he arrived at An'an's room, the eldest prince woke up once, but he explained why he could come in so lightly.

"A master sneaked in from the backyard. On the way, Lin Miaoyue's maid said that she was lost, so she dispatched the guards guarding the outer courtyard. If the eldest prince didn't scare the man away, it might be..." Su Qiu didn't dare to continue. .

Shen Qing looked gloomy, and looked at the nanny: "The child is already taking care of in my room, let Suqiu clean up the side room."

"Will it disturb the princess?" The nurse hesitated.

"It's okay." After Shen Qing finished speaking, she went to the inner room to meet the First Prince.

The eldest prince opened his eyes and the first thing he said was to ask Ling'er. Seeing that he seemed to be really infatuated with Ling'er, Shen Qing frowned even more.Ling'er was already unlucky, the eldest prince didn't look like a long-term survivor, even if he was good, it wouldn't work.

"Ling'er is fine, the eldest prince can rest well. When the lord comes back, we will discuss whether to let you stay or leave." After finishing speaking, Shen Qing was about to leave.

The eldest prince jokingly said, "How can you be so ruthless? I saved your son anyway."

Shen Qing's footsteps paused, it's not that she doesn't doubt him now, why did he come here by such a coincidence?Even if she treats the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, she can't let her guard down this time. An An is her son, and she can't put him in danger.

After Ji Wuhuan came back, Lin Miaoyue's matter was not hidden. That night, Ji Wuhuan sent people to Ningguo Mansion, and she was so daring that she threw Lin Miaoyue into the water, almost drowning.

But no one knew that he did it, only Lin Miaoyue guessed it herself.

An'an didn't know the danger outside, she ate and slept, and slept and ate, so happy.

In the palace, Ji Yun looked at the Zhezi who came up from the ground, first he was angry, but finally he laughed angrily: "What a Ji Wuhuan, does he think that this capital city belongs to him, can he cover the sky with one hand here!" What annoyed him even more was that the real power in these people's hands was far more outstanding than his own. Besides, Ji Wuhuan was also the son of his father...

"Your Majesty, Miss Lin is fine, don't worry."

"Don't worry?" Ji Yun snorted coldly, and his originally handsome eyebrows were also tainted with a bit of sarcasm: "He is not afraid of me now, and dares to throw my imperial concubine into the water to drown him. I think he will kill him sooner or later." Come to the palace!"

Eunuch Lin didn't dare to say anything, but he murmured in his heart, if you hadn't insisted on killing their husband and wife, they wouldn't have become what they are today.But I can't say this, so I can only persuade: "Nanzhao's marriage team is about to arrive, and the ten princesses are ready, look..."

"Time flies!" Ji Yun stared at the jade seal on the dragon case, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Xuanyuanli, Ji Wuhuan, come here this time, we can solve everything at once!"

Eunuch Lin didn't dare to speak, the huge palace seemed to be full of ghosts, and the summer wind also felt a little cool, and the flickering candle shadows lengthened the shadows in the room, like ghosts in the dark night.Eunuch Lin shivered, as if another storm was about to blow up in this empty hall.

After the funeral of Yuan's family was over, Yuan Rou hurried back to take a look, and then came back again. Every day, she went to Shen Qing's place for breakfast. Although she sat alone at a small table, she had the opportunity to get close to Ji Wuhuan , she felt very satisfied, and tried her best to convey the affairs of the Huainan Palace to the palace every day, but she didn't know that what she passed back was what Shen Qing and Ji Wuhuan wanted her to pass back.

Lin Miaoyue hadn't been here since the incident last time. In the past two days, she was carried into the palace in a sedan chair. On the night she entered the palace, the emperor announced the true identity of Ji Wuhuan as the former emperor's illegitimate son. , re-appointed him as King of Chu, and that night, a father-in-law took the imperial decree and led five hundred imperial guards, and took away the soldier amulet in his hand.

The father-in-law who came to pass the decree only said a simple sentence: "You are now the king of Chu, so you can no longer go to the border to work in the bitter cold places. From tomorrow, you will enter the Imperial Academy. From now on, you will serve the emperor. , Your Highness, King Chu, don’t disappoint His Majesty’s wishes.” After that, he took the tiger amulet and left, but what he didn’t know was that Ji Wuhuan’s old army, which he had led for more than ten years, had already led an army of [-] , Waiting early at Huiyin Mountain outside the city.

On the night when the soldier talisman was taken back, Ji Yun immediately made Lin Miaoyue a virtuous concubine, praising her as a talented woman who can rejuvenate the country!

Lin Miaoyue knew that Ji Yun had been hesitating for a long time, and wanted to expose Ji Wuhuan's identity, so that everyone would know that he was just an illegitimate child, and she was worried about ruining the royal family's reputation, but she was just adding fuel to the flames.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Lin Miaoyue bowed profusely.

Ji Yun looked at the delicate makeup on her face, and then at her waist that was tightly grasped, stepped forward a few steps, and asked the palace man to close the palace door: "In that case, let me come and enjoy it again, but An What does a talented girl from Bangxingguo look like..."

The corners of Lin Miaoyue's mouth curled up, and she greeted her tactfully.

At night, the former Huainan Palace is now the Chu Palace, and Ling'er has already got into the carriage: "Tonight is the time when the defense is the loosest, and I will have to work hard all the way."

Ji Wuhuan was reluctant, but for Ling'er's safety, he had to send her away quickly.

Ling'er was very well-behaved, without saying a word, she followed her mother into the carriage and headed towards Dayan.

Shen Qing looked at An An, who was sleeping behind her. Did she give up and send the child away? The war between left and right was approaching, and everything would be over soon.

Ji Wuhuan looked back at Shen Qing: "Nanzhao and his relatives will enter Beijing in three days, are you ready?"

Shen Qing smiled: "Waiting for a long time."

Ji Wuhuan didn't say any more, and slowly walked into the house with her arms around her waist.

Yuanrou watched Ling'er leave the house, and then quietly sent the news, but when she returned to the house, the candle that had been extinguished was lit again, and a cold sword stabbed directly at her.
