Three days later, King Zhao returned to Beijing.

The snow stopped, and lanterns hung all over the palace, with jewels falling on them, blown by the wind, only tinkling. The lanterns are painted with pictures of various beauties, faintly and faintly.

"Like?"

Fu Heng saw Shen Chuchu paused under the corridor, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "The lanterns in the palace are all special, and they are indeed fresh. ”

No matter how fresh it is, after watching it for more than ten years, I get tired of it.

Shen Chuchu shook his head, "It's nothing, isn't the general going to the front hall?"

Fu Heng nodded slightly, he glanced at Shen Chuchu, his eyes darkened slightly, "Wait for me after the palace banquet and go back to the house together." ”

Shen Chuchu pursed his lips, "Hmm." ”

According to the rules, above the palace banquet, His Majesty invited hundreds of officials to the front hall, and the queen and all the women were in the inner hall, and the banquet was held at the same time through two layers of bead curtains.

Because of Ji Yu's words, Shen Chuchu was a little absent-minded throughout the dinner. Watching the singing and dancing in the hall, she slightly clenched the bracelet on her wrist.

Who was trying to kill her?

"Lord Rongyu. Anna Yue walked over slowly, her posture was graceful, her beautiful eyes flowed, she looked at Shen Chuchu, bent the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Chinese New Year's Eve, I will toast the county lord with a cup, and wish the county lord Rongyu eternal youth." ”

Shen Chuchu pursed his lips.

She glanced at the bracelet on her wrist by bowing her head and holding the cup, and a trace of gold thread was still wrapped in the bracelet, unchanged.

Not her.

"To the princess. ”

The two cups collided lightly, making a crisp sound.

Shen Chuchu glanced at Anayue, raised his hand to pick up the wine glass, and drank it all.

After Anayue left, Zhao Xiyue on the side came over, "She toasted you, isn't that a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken." ”

Shen Chuchu looked at the layers of figures behind the bead curtain not far away, and sighed, "Tonight, it is destined not to be peaceful." ”

Zhao Xiyue raised her eyebrows.

After sitting for a while, another person came over to toast.

"Lord Rongyu. Chen Wanru smiled softly, "Before, I had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, and I offended you, you don't care about villains, don't worry about me." ”

As she spoke, she handed Shen Chuchu a glass of wine.

Shen Chuchu was a little surprised, she hadn't seen Chen Wanru for some days.

Just as she was holding up the wine glass, she suddenly saw the gold thread in the bracelet change color. The lights flickered, and a touch of silver snaked in the bracelet.

Shen Chuchu's body stiffened.

I see.

Anayue is just a pretense, and Chen Wanru is the one who plans to do it to her.

She took the cup, drank it up, and poured a glass of wine into her sleeve under the cover of her voluminous robe.

"After drinking, I also felt a little dizzy. Chen Wanru took two steps closer and lowered her voice, "I have something I want to say to the county lord, please come out with me." ”

Shen Chuchu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Okay." ”

She wanted to see what kind of medicine Chen Wanru was selling in the gourd.

The two walked out along the back door, it was just right outside at night, the moonlight was sprinkled, the snow was shining, and there were still singing and dancing in the hall behind them.

"There's someone, I think the county lord will be interested. ”

Chen Wanru looked mysterious, she turned around and left after she said this, Shen Chuchu's eyes were slightly dark, and she followed with steps.

followed Chen Wanru and turned left and right, and arrived at the door of a remote palace, "That person is inside, the county lord should go in." ”

Shen Chuchu hooked the corners of his lips, and suddenly pointed behind him, "Fu Heng!"

Chen Wanru's face changed, and she subconsciously turned around. Shen Chuchu slashed at Chen Wanru's neck with a hand knife, Chen Wanru snorted and fell.

"I'm not interested in the person you're talking about, so you might as well meet him. ”

Shen Chuchu pushed open the door and dragged Chen Wanru in. The room was pitch black and empty, except for the burning of the smoker in the corner, which smelled sweet.

Shen Chuchu covered his nose, dragged Chen Wanru to the bed and turned to leave.

Chen Wanru has painstakingly arranged the game, let her enjoy it herself.

When he returned to the hall, he saw Fu Heng around the corner, he glanced at Shen Chuchu, and said lightly, "Did you do something bad?"

Shen Chuchu choked.

"Why does the general think of me like this, I just drank too much wine and came out to breathe. ”

Fu Heng's face was indifferent, he walked in front of Shen Chuchu in a few steps, took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to Shen Chuchu.

"What's that?"

"Pressing money. ”

Shen Chuchu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Does the general treat me as a child?"

Fu Heng shook the things in his hand, "Do you want it?"

"Yes. Shen Chuchu snatched it over, "What my cousin gave me, how can I not want it." ”

Fu Heng's eyes swept over her, and the depths of her eyes seemed to swirl slightly, and then sank again.

"Go back, it's cold outside. ”

Shen Chuchu nodded, she carefully put away the bag, and turned around and entered the hall.

Zhao Xiyue waited for her for a long time, and when she saw her come back, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"She was drunk and said she was going to change clothes, and I didn't know. Shen Chuchu deliberately didn't lower his voice when he said this, and several people around him heard it.

Zhao Xiyue glanced at her and understood Shen Chuchu's intentions.

"Have you seen the fifth brother?"

King Zhao?

Shen Chuchu shook his head.

"I heard that he brought back a woman. Zhao Xiyue whispered, telling Shen Chuchu the gossip she had just heard.

"What's so strange about this, he is the prince, and it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines. ”

"It's not. The woman was a slave. Zhao Xiyue pointed to the side of her forehead, "Here, I heard that I was tattooed." ”

Shen Chuchu was stunned for a moment this time.

Generally, those who are tattooed are the family members of the felons, and they will be slaves for life, even if they are favored by nobles and brought back to the house, they are also slaves.

"Then she must be beautiful. Otherwise, it would not have attracted King Zhao so much. ”

Zhao Xiyue shook her head, "Maybe, I haven't seen it either." ”

As he was talking, he heard a noisy voice, and a little palace maid hurriedly ran in, covered with snow, and she didn't even have time to take off her cloak, ran to the queen's side, and whispered a few words.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

The queen's face was ugly, she stood up and coughed twice, "Let's be here today, it's not too early, let's go back first." ”

"Boom"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a thunderclap outside.

Winter thunder.

Shen Chuchu's heart sank, what happened, could it be Chen Wanru......
