Si Tian Guan

    "Who is it?" Concubine Yu wondered: "Do you suspect that he is from Jingchen?"

    "Jingchen? Everyone thinks he is Jingchen's person. If so, there is no reason to doubt it." Mu Jingyan laughed: "I am afraid that it is not."

    Mu Jingchen is too far from them. He sits in front of Concubine Xian's sickbed all the year round, and he doesn't know how to fight. Not impossible.

    What's more, he observed the recent motives in the palace, the loss of King Qi was a foregone conclusion, the emperor went to Concubine Xian's palace five times in the past two months, and it seemed that he intended to make the king for Mu Jingchen.

    According to common sense, this conjecture is logical.

    But it is precisely because it is too smooth and too natural, and Qu Sitian is so trusted by the emperor now that he is always a little uneasy in his heart.

    Although the three of them will also covertly and covertly push people up, but they all know it well, but they are using that position to do things, and no one expects any of them to live long.

    Si Tianguan, who has lived too long and is too favored, is not good for them, just like Qu Sitian and Mu Jingchen now.

    Mu Jingchen pushes a half-old child up, the Liang family is like that again, what can he do?

    Is it true from the very beginning that Qu Sitian can impress the emperor? Could it be that the child really has the ability to predict anything?

    If that's the case, didn't Mu Jingchen think that the more the emperor favored Qu Sitian, the farther he was from the throne?

    Doing a wedding dress for others like this is just for the title of a mere prince? Is it enough for Mu Jingchen?

     Mu Jingyan propped his forehead, feeling as if he was caught in a puzzle with no exit, no matter which direction he went, he would be a dead end.

     Concubine Yu's backbone is her son. At this time, seeing him frown, she becomes more and more flustered.

    "Jing Yan, it doesn't matter who he is, what should I do now? What if he really has that ability..."

    "What are you panicking about?" Mu Jingyan frowned: "What if there are? How many people are clean in this palace? Why are you so afraid?"

    "I..." Concubine Yu finally had a heart attack, even if she knew that she would anger her son: "Jing Yan, I haven't been able to close my eyes for a long time, can I send him... to you..."

    The words behind her disappeared in the eyes of her son.

    "Is the concubine afraid?"

     Concubine Yu was naturally afraid, but her fear did not start from that night, but when her son found that person.

    Since then, the fear and calculation of her son have been spread out in front of her son. She doesn't know what kind of gloomy monster she gave birth to.

    "Mother and concubine are the safest here, lest the two uncles worry about them," Mu Jingyan looked up at her: "I often come to see him, isn't it filial enough?"

     Concubine Yu's scalp tightened and she looked out the window almost subconsciously.

    Mu Jingyan laughed: "As long as you don't say it, no one will know, don't scare yourself. After so many years, it's not that you don't understand him, you are extremely stupid, and you look at your descendants. It's more important than anything else. He's the only one with me now, so he'll be obedient."

     Concubine Yu didn't dare to say anything, and asked, "That Qu Sitian...isn't he really going to cause us trouble?"

    "He'll take care of himself first."

    Mu Jingyan brewed tea unhurriedly: "Because he had a dispute with the emperor, and the matter at the palace banquet, are you willing to let it go?"

     "Not to mention Concubine Liu, when has the Liu family suffered such a loss, and they are still fighting with Qu Chenzhou for a long time. Is it the first day you met the emperor, how could you just hold one? people?"

     "And he calculated that for Concubine Ming. Once Mu Jingde eased his breath, how could he forgive him lightly."

    Listening to what he said, Concubine Yu's beating heart finally calmed down.

    "That's right. I heard people say that the emperor asked Qu Sitian to go to Liu Qingru to make amends. Yesterday, he knelt in front of the Lijing Palace for an hour, and he didn't even enter the palace gate, and finally went back. . Liu Qingru intends to give Liu Chongming a head start, will it make him feel better for a while? It seems that the emperor is still more biased towards the Liu family."

    "The emperor is more partial to the Liu family," Mu Jingyan sneered: "He promoted two people together, but he was beating on both sides. If you sincerely want people to plead guilty to the imperial concubine, what else can you give? Xuanmang knits gold clothes. This is because the Liu family is afraid that the Liu family will get carried away because of the child in the stomach and the position of Jinxiuying."

    "That's good..." Concubine Yu settled down and patted her heart: "That's good."

    Mu Jingyan gave her a disgusting look: "It's too early to be at ease."

     Concubine Yu was at a loss.

     Concubine Yu asked timidly: "Can't we just win over again? As long as your uncle has money..."

    "The trouble is here." Mu Jingyan paused.

    Although he persuaded his mother to feel at ease, there were some things that he couldn't get around the newly appointed Si Tianguan.

    So much so that he had to gradually believe that this Qu Si naive really had the extraordinary ability to predict the future.

    "The mother and concubine are in the palace, and the news of the court is not well-informed. Because of that song Shenzhou, the emperor paid attention to the sale of salt and iron, and found a loophole in the sale of official salt in the south of the Yangtze River."

    "I heard that it is a hexagram of 'sprinkle salt to make snow gold mountains sink'. When salt was mentioned, the emperor sent someone to check it, and it was already found on the head of my uncle."

     Concubine Yu's face turned pale: "Is there anything wrong?"

    "Fortunately, I got some news in advance and reminded my uncle to revise the book as soon as possible. Maybe I can get through it, but it's inconvenient to spend a lot of money recently."

    "I don't know how much the emperor intends to investigate, nor who to send."

    Anyone around you is an idiot and will only hold you back.

    "Rong Jiu'an, who made the emperor's decree now, is also very strict, and the news cannot be inquired. It is said that he was close to Mu Jingde before, and I don't know if it will be because of him this time. , let Mu Jingde have a turnaround."

    He frowned annoyedly. Before, he always thought that he had gathered a lot of people, but only now did he realize that as long as he was not sitting in that position, there would always be unexpected and unpleasant things.

    Look at the sun, it's almost time.

     Concubine Yu unfolded the cape herself and put it on her son, for some reason, she was relieved.

    Emperor Yu practiced filial piety, and also allowed his sons to enter the palace regularly to serve their mother. She didn't know whether to look forward to this time or to be afraid of this time.

    "Concubine Mu, rest," Mu Jingyan stood at the foot of the steps, waiting for her to tie the straps, and said, "Concubine Mu can only serve the emperor when she is in good health, say something, Let the emperor listen to it, and the most important thing at the moment is Mu Jingde's side, so that he can't have a chance to turn over."

    This made Concubine Yu even more stressed.

    "I...I know, but what you said before, I'm afraid it's not easy to do. Liu Qingru is on strict guard, and recently the emperor said that she was confronted by Qu Sitian, and she was wronged every day. Go see her, how dare I do anything."

    Mu Jingyan put on the snow cap and was about to go out, when she heard this, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

    "Jing Yan? What's wrong?"

    "It's nothing, but what you just said made me suddenly think..."

    Mu Jingyan felt his eyelids jump and muttered to himself.

    "After Qu Shenzhou entered the palace, Liu Chongming took charge of the Jinxiu Camp, Liu Qingru was pitied and cared for by the emperor, Mu Jingde was dragged into the water because of Ren Rui, the queen and the emperor had a dispute, even my side I lost a few people, and now my uncle is being treated strictly because of him..."

    "Among everyone, the only one who is unscathed... is the Liu family. Not only that, but also a lot of benefits."

    His eyes flashed: "You said... Is it possible that Qu Chenzhou...is on the Liu family's side?"

    "How is it possible?" Concubine Yu could only laugh at his whimsy: "How did Liu Chongming treat him, who can't see it? Even Liu Qingru is embarrassing him."

    “…no…”

    He felt uneasy in his heart, and this inexplicable panic seemed to have happened before.

    Let's not talk about it, at the spring banquet, that drowning...it was too coincidental. If Liu Weiying died, the Bai Liu family would be in a mess, how could it be like this?

     Concubine Yu was also a little flustered: "But, how is it possible?"

    "What if they were growing here and there," Mu Jingyan muttered to himself, "This Qu Chenzhou's life experience... you should really check it out."

    Qu Shenzhou knelt under the steps, looking down at his shadow moving.

    The palace servants around him walked silently, as if they didn't see him.

    I thought it would be ignored this time, but the hem of the palace skirt stopped not far in front of me.

    "Qu Sitian, the mother asked you to come in."

    It's only half an hour, the time is very short, and my sister's heart is still soft.

    He got up and patted his knees lightly, glanced at the sun, and entered the palace gate with the maid.

    As soon as the cotton curtain fell behind him, the hot stove was stuffed into his arms, and the maid pointed behind the curtain: "Qu Sitian, the lady is waiting for you inside."

    He stood outside motionless.

    The gauze curtain is light and thin, and the two people inside can see it clearly.

    "Shen Zhou," Liu Qingru whispered to him: "Come in, let me see you, okay?"

    The familiar figure approached step by step, lifted the gauze curtain, and waited quietly.

    Liu Qingru glanced at Liu Chongming and called him: "Shen Zhou..."

    Qu Chenzhou listened to her hesitating words, and already guessed what she was going to say, and looked at the ground: "Maiden ordered."

      If you are in the mood to see him, call him over again, okay?"

    Qu Chenzhou pursed his lips slightly, as if he could sense that the eyes behind him were glued to him.

    Liu Qingru glanced at the two of them worriedly, then turned and went to the inner room.

    The air in the room not only did not cool, but suddenly became hot, and someone could hear the sound of breathing more and more heavily.

    He stood there with his eyes down and waited for a while, then nodded slightly: "If there is nothing else, please go back first."

    "Yes...something!"

    Liu Chongming seemed to be awakened suddenly and stopped in front of the gauze curtain. He knew that there was not much time today.

    "I...I remember..." He looked at the thin shoulders in front of him, dreaming about it, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand, he just repeated with a trembling: "I remember everything in the past. already."

    Qu Chenzhou closed his eyes and replied, "Congratulations."

    Liu Chongming's heart seemed to be stabbed in the opposite direction by the knife made of these two words, and he was a little helpless: "You...you sit first."

    Qu Shenzhou sat down on the chair beside him.

    "It's cold outside..." A cup of tea was placed in front of him: "Drink something hot."

    His eyes slowly lifted from the tea and finally looked directly at the person.

    "If the eldest son has nothing to do, please come back. I have something to say to the lady."

    Liu Chongming retracted his hand embarrassingly, knowing that if he didn't say anything, he would really not be able to stay.

    "The hairpin that Shiyan gave you, you... see it."

    Without waiting for no one to nod, he quickly explained: "That's a new hairpin I carved, not yours, yours..."

    "Throw it away," Qu Chenzhou twitched his fingers in his sleeves, and said lightly, "It's meaningless to keep it. Or does the prince want me to become a slave again?"

    Liu Chongming's throat stagnated and he didn't dare to touch his arms, so he could only dryly return to the topic just now: "King Huai... put Zhou Huaishan in Chaoyang Palace, replacing the original one named San Fu's father-in-law."

    Qu Shenzhou nodded.

    "The Song family kept Zhou Huaishan to guard against King Huai. King Huai attacked first and snatched people into his hands. The two sides are already inseparable."

    "If he leaves it outside, the Song family can't guarantee that they will not make up their minds. Now that Zhou Huaishan is alive, the deterrence of the Song family is even greater. With King Huai's character, if he wants to fight to the death, the Song family is afraid to be alone. Can't stay."

    "If Zhou Huaishan were to die, the Song family would no longer have the leverage to frighten King Huai, and King Huai would actually tear up his face with the Song family, without the best backing."

    "It depends on which of them is more mad, and neither can afford to lose."

    " But Concubine Yu is different. She is cowardly and cautious, and naturally dare not gamble. Zhou Huaishan is the safest and safest under her eyes. It's just that people can't come out of Chaoyang Palace and want to see her. Once, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

    He was willing to speak, and Liu Chongming's heart finally calmed down.

    In the illusion, they seem to be still sitting in the flower hall of another courtyard, discussing matters calmly, but Liu Chongming knows that those times may never go back.

    "Yes," he replied in a low voice, "I asked my sister, and she said that this Sanfu is for cleaning the inner courtyard and hardly ever leaves the door of Chaoyang Palace."

    "If I can go to Chaoyang Palace to divination for Concubine Yu, maybe I can wait for the opportunity to meet..."

    "Sink the boat!" He interrupted immediately, and immediately softened his tone: "King Huai must be watching over there, don't let him stare. And the palace is not a place to stay for a long time, you Can't live here forever."

    Qu Shenzhou rubbed the stove without saying a word.

    Liu Chongming was anxious, but this palace gate was difficult to enter, and even more difficult to exit, he had no clue, so he could only slow down his voice and comforted: "If you have any way , we are all outside to meet you, you must not mess around."

    The other party is now tofu that fell into the ash heap, he dare not touch it, let alone shoot it.

    "Fortunately, there is the matter of King Qi standing in the way, and I can't see your head for a while."

    "Although my sister and I will try our best to take care of it, it is inconvenient to do things in the palace. You must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't be rash."

    Qu Chenzhou's heart skipped a beat: "How sure is it?"

    "More than 70%," Liu Chongming wanted to send the cup of tea out several times, but he just sat in the same place: "I am afraid that the Tang family and King Huai will know sooner or later. Start while waiting for King Qi to go on the road. I may not be able to enter the palace often these days..."

    "Your son is busy," Qu Chenzhou said indifferently, "I will try my best to protect the noble concubine."

    Liu Chongming didn't mean it that way.

    "There is one more thing...I remembered that the garrison at Shiliting used to be the main force for King Huai to force the palace. I will let Shi Yan pay attention, but just in case, we You should consider starting first.”

    "Nothing else... I'm leaving," he looked at Qu Chenzhou's calm expression, and lowered his head again: "You take care of yourself."

    Qu Chenzhou slowly raised his eyes.

    "Remember... take care."

    The author has something to say:    Emperor and King Huai are both thoughtful and suspicious, so Shen Zhou can’t be **** himself
