Chapter 343 Major Events
The palace maid closed the lid of the incense burner, and brought the incense stick in a delicate box to Concubine Geng Xian for her to have a look.

Concubine Geng Xian glanced at it, waved her hand lightly, and said, "Tomorrow, let someone send it to the Qianqing Palace!" Turning her head to look at the person standing in the shadow of the curtain, her voice was like ice hitting a jade plate, "You don't know, so does Your Majesty!" I'm afraid of the heat and attract mosquitoes, and I'm afraid that I have a headache recently, and I don't sleep well after eating, but with this fragrance, I might not be able to sleep well."

"Your Majesty must have known about all the painstaking efforts."

These words were like a signal, Concubine Xian's round fan suddenly stopped on her chest as if she had pressed a lock, Concubine Xian lowered her eyes for a moment, her expression was icy cold, "Everything is done?"

"Yes, right now, Xia Yanfeng's identity has spread throughout the capital."

The corner of Concubine Xian's mouth hooked slightly, and she couldn't hide her joy, "So, Your Majesty must be very angry, right?" No one responded to her, she raised her head and looked at the silent person in the shadow, "What? Look at you Doesn’t seem like it’s right?”

"I don't dare. Your Majesty, this servant is just a little puzzled. Since your Majesty has already predicted that His Majesty will send Shen Yue to Shu, why bother to make trouble at this time? If His Majesty suspects that Shen Yue has something to do with this matter and changes his mind What?" The man in the shadow lowered his voice, but couldn't hide the doubts in his words.

"What do you know?" Concubine Xian snorted, "The more suspicious he is, the more Shen Yue is the best candidate to go south to enter Shu. Shen Yue has decided to go to this Shu land, but how to get there is completely different. Wait and see Well, he will definitely make a big fanfare and let Shen Yue go to Sichuan in the name of the court and as Xia Yanfeng's friend, so as to announce to the world that if something happens to Shen Yue halfway, guess what will happen to him? , at that time, if the relationship between Ye Xinyi and the Xia family is revealed, wouldn't this drama be even more exciting?"

At this point, her voice paused, she raised her hand to gently caress the brows, and the cold and lonely smile hidden in the corner of her mouth slowly retracted, "Just, don't bother watching the show, what you should do But don’t forget, it’s a waste of time.”

"Your Majesty's meaning is understood, and I will send a letter to inform the Lord immediately, so that I won't miss a big deal."

"That's good! The grand plan of this Palace and your Patriarch must not go wrong at this critical moment. Otherwise." Although the latter words were not spoken, the temperature in the water pavilion suddenly dropped a lot.

The man in the shadows bowed his hands and bowed, "Slaves don't have to." His tone was full of solemnity, and he dared not ignore it.

Only then was Concubine Xian quite satisfied, she lightly waved her hand and said, "Go!"

The night breeze came slowly, and the elegant lotus fragrance swayed all over the lake. From the water pavilion half covered by the light veil, a figure came out gracefully, crossed the curved bridge soundlessly, and disappeared into the deep night.
Concubine Xian held the ball of fan, turned her head to look at a point of nothingness in the night, her face was half-hidden in the flickering candlelight, so she couldn't see clearly.

After a while, she turned her head to look at the censer on the table that was still emitting white smoke, her brows furrowed, revealing two points of disgust, and said coldly, "Turn it off!"

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Jili actually came to the Shen residence on Yuanming Street again.

Seeing him, Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi were not different. Shen Yue glanced at Ye Xinyi silently, and said, "Elder-in-law, wait a moment, I will change clothes and I will follow you into the palace." After that, he took Ye Xinyi with him. hands into the room.

After a while, he changed his clothes and came out, and went out with Zhang Jili.

When he arrived in the palace, Emperor Qianhe didn't deliberately leave him alone this time, instead he had already waited in the south study room. After seeing him, he just asked indifferently, "Have you heard all the rumors in the past two days?"

Shen Yue looked a little uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "I heard."

"Who do you think spread the word?" Emperor Ganhe asked again.

Shen Yue's eyes were still half down, "I don't know."

Emperor Qianhe looked at him for a moment, "Perhaps, you really don't know! Who knows, General Xia's beloved son has been under my nose for 11 years, but I don't know it at all, and General Xia may not know it. Well. As a father, how can you rest assured easily, even if you send a few people around to protect you, there are some. I wanted to find these people, but they obviously hid them better than Mr. Xia. I also have no choice, so let them go!"

"It's just that Mr. Xia was involved in a life lawsuit, and it's the kind with all the witnesses and material evidence. Show up. In your opinion, how should this case be handled?"

Shen Yue obviously did not expect that Emperor Qianhe would ask him this question, his body shook immediately, and after a while, he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I am stupid, I really don't know."

Emperor Qianhe frowned, "I don't know? Didn't you say earlier that with his temperament, you would never kill someone, and you begged me to let Dali Temple thoroughly investigate this case, so don't wrong him? Why did it only take two days?" Time, I told you to tell, but you don’t know?”

A hint of panic finally penetrated Shen Yue's voice, "I'm terrified. At that time. At that time, I didn't know that he was from the Xia family. I asked your Majesty to forgive me for talking nonsense."

"So, because he's from the Xia family, it's different?" Emperor Ganhe murmured as if talking to himself.

Shen Yue didn't speak, didn't dare to speak, just cupped his fists and lowered his eyes, his forehead was tense.

Emperor Qianhe's eyes flicked across his face, "That's right, isn't it just different? It is said that the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. But the Xia family is a loyal family, and has helped Daming guard the southern border for generations, let alone the people in the southwest. Treating them like gods, even I and the past emperors are very grateful to them. The children of the Xia family, in my eyes, are two points more precious than my princes. However, the young master of the Xia family was involved in such a situation During the lawsuit, I am really heartbroken and embarrassed."

Shen Yue lowered his eyes and breathed deeply, as if he had become a silent shadow.

Emperor Qianhe also seemed to be completely as if he did not exist, his eyes fell on the mottled tree shadows reflected on the window screen, and his tone did not fluctuate. In view of it, I decided to order Dali Temple to suspend the deliberation of this case, and I still invited General Xia to come to Beijing in person, what to do, we will discuss it at that time."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yue finally reacted, but his body was shaken, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Qianhe, with unconcealable surprise in his brows and eyes.

Invite Xia Changhe to Beijing?

Emperor Ganhe looked at the suspicion in his eyes lightly, even raised the corners of his lips, and smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all, "It seems that Yingchu is also very surprised by my decision. I made this decision after much deliberation. It's just that General Xia has an important position, so I don't know if he can get away. Even if General Xia really wants to go to Beijing, it's not a trivial matter. It would be against my original intention to order directly from the imperial decree. Therefore, the best way is to ask a suitable person to go to Shu in person and tell General Xia exactly what I want. Presumably, General Xia Only then can I understand my intentions. However, I am troubled again, who can I entrust to such a big matter?"
