It was getting late, the gongs and drums on the stage were noisy, and the actors were babbling and singing the words of the play that I couldn't understand anyway, but the two lives together could not appreciate this classic traditional art, but the emperor had not left the table, and as a low-level concubine, she had to sit patiently to accompany the scene.

Fortunately, Yinzhen is not a person who likes entertainment, so he is worried about the unfinished recital in his hand, and he will leave the table after listening to a play. When the emperor left, the previously suppressed and restrained atmosphere was lightened, and the concubines began to order their favorite ones according to their preferences.

Seeing Yinzhen leave the table, she was not close to everyone, and everyone didn't want to have too much interaction with her, so she didn't want to stay any longer and feel uncomfortable, so she found an excuse to leave the table early.

Seeing that Li was gone, I couldn't sit still because I couldn't understand these babbling dramas, but seeing that Qian was still interested, it was not easy to ruin her interest, so I had to force a casual chat with her without a word, and listen to her explain what was sung on the stage.

At this moment, Xu Fuduo suddenly stepped forward and said in his ear: "The person who came to Jingren Palace has something important to do." ”

Xu Fuduo's "coming" refers to Xiao Shunzi, in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, it is called this on weekdays.

Although the palace is strictly forbidden, as long as the martial arts master is familiar with the layout of the palace and the frequency of night patrols by the guards, it is not difficult to sneak into the deep palace without knowing it. However, Xiao Shunzi is a very cautious person, if it is not urgent, he will never easily enter the palace to find himself, and it is at a time like today.

"Xiao Shunzi was waiting for me in Jingren Palace, saying that there was something important and I had to rush over to see him. Don't move here, and if anyone asks, they will say I'm too drunk to go back and rest. I whispered a few words to Qian and reminded her to be careful, so I asked the Ulanala clan to resign and leave the table.

Although I was anxious to know the news of Xiao Shunzi, in order not to attract attention, I didn't let people rush back. Sitting in the small sedan chair and feeling the long silence of the palace road, he secretly guessed what would be the matter for Xiao Shunzi to personally venture into the palace to spread the word.

What can be a big deal in the near future? In the second year of Yongzheng...... The second year of Yongzheng...... The second year of Yongzheng was an important node of many events after Yinzhen's accession to the throne.

Is it Nian Qianyao's business? No, although Nian Qianyao's matter is big, it doesn't have much impact on me.

Is it to find out who is the person who has been doing small actions behind the scenes recently? No, I vaguely feel that if I want to find this person, I must first find out who is behind the work that is making a loop for me in the palace right now.

So-only Yinzhen is left, is Yinzhen going to start doing something to Yinzhen?

In his previous life, he didn't pay special attention to the details related to Yinzhen, but he vaguely remembered that in the second year of Yongzheng, Yinzhen had some actions against the Eight Masters, but he couldn't remember what it was. But thinking of Yinzhen's punishment of the eunuchs around the former emperor Yifei Guo Luoluo a few years ago, he was even more sure that what Xiao Shunzi wanted to say when he looked for himself should be related to Yinzhen. This is also the thing I especially explained when he left the palace.

With a heart full of anxiety, he went to Jingren Palace, quietly asked Dongmei to wait for a change of clothes and rest, and then let her go back to rest, leaving only Xu Fuduo to serve. When Dongmei left, Xu Fuduo came out of the house to guard it so that no one would suddenly visit.

"Come out," I whispered into the empty room.

A dark figure jumped down from the beam, its body was light, and it landed silently, as agile and dexterous as a cat.

"Say hello to the master," Xiao Shunzi, who was dressed in a black night suit, pulled down his mask, hugged his fists, and knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Hurry up, there is no one else at the moment, there is no need to be so polite. Looking at his delicate but dyed face full of the vicissitudes of time, I can't help but recall the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man when I first met.

"The master is getting clearer and less ......" Xiao Shunzi was indifferent, and there was a little more warmth in his eyes, and there was a faint flash of light, which was fleeting.

"You too, running around is not as comfortable as living a comfortable life after all. I looked at him, and a heartfelt smile naturally floated on my lips, sincere and warm, an expression that had not appeared for a long time, even for Qian, because of many scruples.

Xiao Shunzi pursed her lips, as if she still had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start, and she was relatively speechless for a while.

"It's not a good place to stay for long, just say something. Sensing the subtlety of the atmosphere, and unwilling to let the chaos disturb my mind, I was the first to speak and break the silence.

Xiao Shunzi restrained his mind when I asked, and highlighted a few words succinctly: "It is related to the ninth master." ”

I knew that it was related to Yinyu. After getting Xiao Shunzi's confirmation, his brows couldn't help frowning, and his heart was slightly tight, waiting for Xiao Shunzi to continue.

"The emperor has been secretly asking the people at the sticky pole to collect evidence of the Eight Masters' crimes. A few years ago, he disposed of a group of people around Jiuye, and Li Qianzhong, the personal eunuch of Jiuye, was sent to the extreme edge of Yunnan to be a drudger, and He Yuzhu, who went to Jiangnan to buy beauties for Jiuye, was sent to the third surname to be enslaved by the poor armorers. The property of these two people was confiscated, and the emperor also ordered that if they refused to go, they would kill themselves, but the bones were still thrown to the original extreme place, which shows that they hated it. Even Qin Daoran, who took care of the housework for the ninth master, was unlucky, and the emperor said that he had always helped the family to abuse, so he earned a lot of belongings, so he ordered him to pay 100,000 taels of silver for military salary. However, Lord Qin has always been an honest and self-denying, although he has always done things for the Ninth Master, he has never had anything to enrich his own pockets, and it is precisely because of this that he has won the trust of the Ninth Master. Therefore, when the governor of Liangjiang was ordered to go to Wuxi, the hometown of Lord Qin, to investigate, he found that all the property of Lord Qin's family added up to less than 10,000 taels of silver. But the emperor still didn't let him go, and still let Lord Qin be imprisoned, and said that when the people in his family paid enough money, he would release him. Xiao Shunzi said.

"Did He Yuzhu, who went to Jiangnan to buy beauties for the ninth master, be sent down? It turns out that he has always been obsessed with this matter...... "Yinzhen did not move the eighth master Yinzhen, who has been competing with him for the throne, nor was he particularly embarrassed by the fourteenth master Yinyu, who is still a threat to him at the moment, but he blindly suppressed Yinzhen, who had never coveted the throne, I am afraid it is because of the previous booklet related to me.

Since the appearance of the booklet full of Yinzhen's relationship with me, the relationship between Yinzhen and me has begun to go farther and farther away. If it weren't for my unrelenting attitude of helping him cut off the secret stakes of the Eight Masters Party in the Hidden Mansion over the years, which allowed me to clear my relationship with Yinzhen and the Eight Masters Party, and also made Yinzhen never feel sorry for me because of his past feelings, my current fate may not be much better.

I was able to get out of it because of my scheming management, and because I was lucky enough to be familiar with the direction of history, but Yinyu couldn't. His covetousness for me is an indisputable fact, and this thorn really grows on Yinzhen's heart, making it difficult to swallow like a fish in his throat.

Over the years, Yinzhen has been holding this matter in his heart in order to compete for the throne, but now that the throne is in hand, it is time to start liquidating the past. Therefore, Yinzhen, a brother who spares no effort to help his political enemies seize the throne and covets his woman, will never allow him to survive in the world.

This is just the beginning, just the beginning.
