Chu State, East Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The peach blossoms are too hurried, as if yesterday the apricot blossoms were full of branches, but now the flowers have faded and the red and green apricots are small.

There was a warm wind blowing and hitting the cheeks, so that people couldn't open their eyes, as if everything was just a dream.

When she woke up from the dream, everything returned to the original point, and she was still napping in the east wing, waiting for his sword dance to stop, she was already standing under the apricot blossom tree with a smile, the shining eyebrows were set off by the apricot fandel, more and more beautiful, the cherry lips were slightly opened, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, which was a touch of arc that could instantly hook away his soul.

However, the cold reality was telling him that it was a dream.

Su Jingshuo stood in the shadow covered by the dense branches of the apricot tree, and the sunlight fell on him through the dense leaves and turned into mottled points of light, making his originally stiff body more and more lonely and abrupt.

"Your Majesty, General Shen and Miss Shen are already waiting outside. ”

There was a report from the eunuch behind him, Su Jingshuo pulled his thoughts away from his memory, and when he heard the names of these two people, the expression on his face froze, a trace of coldness crossed his eyes, and he calmly spit out a word: "Xuan." ”

Not long after, General Shen, who was wearing a silver armor and a beard the same color as this armor, carried Shen Xiaoxiao into the courtyard.

After saluting, Su Jingshuo walked out of the shadow of the apricot tree, and did not ask them to get up, but walked to General Shen and looked at him condescendingly, "General Shen, do you know what you are doing today?"

Usually, Su Jingxuan has always been very polite to Shen Xiangnan, and this is the first time Shen Xiangnan has encountered such a rude and detached and indifferent tone, he was shocked in his heart, he was not sure what the young king was thinking in his heart, but his face still remained calm and calm, lowered his eyes and replied: "I don't know." ”

Su Jingxuan paced back and forth beside him for two steps before turning around and sitting down in front of the stone table, he gracefully accepted the steaming tea presented by the palace maid, but still did not tell the two to get up, nor did he say a word.

Time seems to stand still at this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her hands under the sleeves were subconsciously clenched into fists, and her heart was beating non-stop, she never felt that time was so difficult as this moment, a few days ago, she hid behind her father's study and clearly heard several relatives in the family and her father's party members in the court mentioning the matter of the post-establishment of the post, as early as when the former king had not personally promised to marry her to Brother Jing, they were already privately discussing how to send her to the prince's East Palace, not to mention that now, with the holy intention set by the first prince himself, there is no half of the oppositionHowever, it has been so long since the burial of the first king, and Brother Jing has also ascended the throne, and many ministers in the court have been vetoed by him.

It's only been a few days, and Brother Jing has announced that their father and daughter have entered the palace like this, isn't it to mention the matter of the future?

Thinking of this, Shen Xiaoxiao's heart seemed to have been mentioned to her throat, and a layer of fine and dense beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but her body knelt straight, she didn't dare to move, her ears were extraordinarily smart, and the nerves and attention of her whole body were focused on the peerless man sitting in front of her.

Just waiting for a moment, he blurted out the position he had been thinking about for a long time.

However, in this way, I waited quietly for a long time, but I didn't see any movement, only heard the slight crisp sound of the tea lid rubbing the tea cup.

Shen Xiaoxiao's clenched fists tightened again, and the previous nervousness had slowly evolved into panic and helplessness at this time.

Just when she was about to have a nervous breakdown and couldn't support it anymore, she heard Su Jingxuan let out a leisurely sigh.

Then, I only heard his crisp voice sound in front of him, and said: "Yesterday, dozens of ministers jointly wrote a letter on the matter after the establishment of the government, and these people are all in important positions, it is impossible for me not to attach importance to their proposals, can General Shen know about this matter?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xiangnan gasped.

With Su Jingxuan's ingenuity, how could he not know that he was the mastermind behind these people, but he deliberately pointed out that these people were in important positions, and asked him if he knew what his intentions were? Is it implying that he has formed a party with the DPRK and China for personal gain?

However, once the charge of forming a party for personal gain is deducted...... He was afraid that he would not be able to argue, because he did organize contacts at all costs for his precious daughter to marry into the palace smoothly, which was originally a risky thing, but even so, he did not regret it, with his status as an old minister of the three dynasties, even if he had such a communication, with him a hairy boy who had not yet sat on the throne, what could he do to him? What's more, he now has a heavy army, and he is the 200,000 generals who command the Shen family's garrison, even the first king has to respect him a little.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiangnan, who was still a little worried and nervous before, suddenly regained his composure and confidence, he raised his head, looked at Su Jingshuo calmly and said: "The ministers also know a little bit about this matter, but it is a major event after the establishment, these ministers are thinking and worrying about the emperor both in the public court and in private, and I also ask Your Majesty to forgive their outspoken advice for their loyalty." ”

Hearing this, Su Jingshuo smiled suddenly, his appearance was already handsome, and this smile made his forehead as carefully carved as a craftsman more and more beautiful, but the curvature of the corners of his raised mouth was a little cold.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side were all stunned, confused by such beauty, but the next moment they all felt cold in their hearts, and hurriedly lowered their eyes, for fear that they would accidentally be discovered by him just now.

However, where will Su Jingxuan's focus be on them, he held the tea cup, drank a sip of tea elegantly, and looked at Shen Xiangnan who was still kneeling below with those dark eyes like black pearls and said, "Then, according to General Shen's meaning, who should I appoint as the queen?"

Hearing this, Shen Xiangnan was overjoyed in his heart, and then he was shocked again.

I am glad that listening to Su Jingxuan's words, it seems that he finally agrees to stand up, but then he thinks of how he can be so easy for people to look at with such an angry temperament, not to mention that he also threw this hot potato-like question to himself, and it was on the premise that he knew that he wanted his baby daughter to sit in the back seat.

For a while, Shen Xiangnan had mixed feelings in his heart, but his reaction was also extremely fast, he kowtowed to Su Jingshuo and said, "The minister is willing to follow the will of the first king." ”

Hearing this, the curvature of Su Jingxuan's mouth rose more and more by two points, he raised his chin and glanced at the eunuch waiting not far away, the eunuch immediately trotted out of the courtyard, and soon led a middle-aged man dressed in the hospital service into the courtyard.

After the man kowtowed, Su Jingxuan raised his eyes to look at Shen Xiangnan and said, "Does General Shen know how Ling Lang was killed?"

Coldly hearing Su Jingxuan mention Shen Xiaoxiao's twin brother Shen Zimiao at this time, Shen Xiangnan was stunned, and in an instant, indescribable sadness spread in his eyes, and at the same time, Shen Xiaoxiao was also stunned, but in the depths of her eyes covered by her long eyelashes, there was a bit of panic.

Shen Xiangnan was full of thoughts on speculating about Su Jingxuan's intentions, naturally he didn't notice the strange appearance of his daughter next to him, he raised his head, and looked at Su Jingxuan with sadness in his eyes and said: "It was murdered by someone sent by the former prince, but the dog was also virtuous before, so he was used by the former prince, and then he almost made a big mistake against His Majesty, and the minister took him back to the other courtyard, thinking that he could avoid the power of the former prince and let him think about it behind closed doors, but unexpectedly, ......"

Speaking of the back, even Shen Xiangnan, who has been calm and introverted for a long time, couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, Su Jingxuan changed his previous sneer, he restrained his smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and fell on Shen Xiaoxiao, who was kneeling beside Shen Xiangnan, and then said, "I heard that when Ling Lang was killed, Xiaoxiao was also present?"

Hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned, and immediately reacted, and immediately a bubble of tears appeared in her eyes, and she raised her eyes, looked at Su Jingxuan pitifully with her big red eyes with tears, and said: "Yes, Brother Jing, at that time, Xiaoxiao went to visit her brother and was talking to her brother, but she saw her brother suddenly fall to the ground and took Xiaoxiao's hand and said...... The prince wanted to harm him, I was so frightened that I couldn't say a word at all, and in a panic, I smashed the wine cup on the stone table to wake up the guards waiting outside, and I was discovered, but my brother ...... Brother he ......"

When it came to the back, Shen Xiaoxiao had already sobbed quietly.

However, before her words fell, Su Jingxuan sneered, and raised her hand to throw out the teacup she had been holding elegantly in her hand and smashed it at Shen Xiaoxiao's feet.

The blue and white jade porcelain tea cup fell on the stone slab and exploded in an instant, making a frightening crisp sound.

At this time, Shen Xiaoxiao and Shen Xiangnan realized the seriousness of the problem.

The former was a little flustered and worried in his heart, while the latter didn't know what was going on at all, but seeing Su Jingxuan's rare anger, he also knew that this matter was not trivial.

Both of them raised their heads in unison to look at Su Jingxuan, whose face was already stained with a layer of frost after throwing the blue and white jade cup just now, and saw him wave his hand at the imperial doctor who was brought in later.

Then, the imperial physician who was kneeling on the ground said loudly, 1510: "The minister ordered to inspect Shen Gongzi's corpse and found that he died of a highly toxic poison called three-step pouring, this poison is colorless and tasteless, mixed into the food It is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but the poison is extremely strong, and the blood seals the throat, and the formula of these three-step pours is refined with dozens of strange poisons, several of which are only produced in a nomadic tribe on the border of our Chu State, Tianchi, so this poison will not be available to ordinary people." ”

The later words of the imperial doctor did not continue, and Su Jingxuan did not mention anything, he just raised his eyes and looked at Shen Xiangnan, whose face had begun to turn black when he heard these words, waiting for him to react.

At this time, Shen Xiangnan knelt stiffly on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning, and the words of the imperial doctor just now were repeated over and over again in his mind...... The poison of the three-step pour, this poison is colorless and tasteless, mixed into the food is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but the toxicity is extremely strong, see the blood to seal the throat, and the formula of the three-step pour is made with dozens of strange poisons, of which several are only produced in a nomadic tribe on the border of our Chu State, Tianchi, so this poison ordinary people will not have......

Three-step pour.

See blood seal the throat.

Tianchi.

These key words were finally combined into a terrible guess, and once this guess was established, it would be tantamount to a devastating blow to him, Shen Xiangnan's eyes were wide open, and he didn't dare to think about it at all, he suddenly turned around, and he didn't care that Su Jingshuo was still on it, he stood up, raised his hand and dragged the imperial doctor with a hideous face: " You are not a fool, why do you say that those three steps are only available in Tianchi, and it is impossible for other places in the world not to produce, just with your little knowledge, you still want to mislead us!"

However, without waiting for the imperial doctor to speak, Su Jingxuan had already sneered and said, "What is General Shen anxious about? The imperial doctor didn't say anything, but since you reacted like this, there should be some speculation in your heart, after all, the nomadic people in Tianchi are fierce and close their eyes and listen, and rarely deal with people outside, and Mrs. Zun, as the daughter of the patriarch of this tribe, is an outlier, you met her when you were seriously injured in the battle with Zhao State on the border, and you were saved by her, and then the two of them took over the matter must be known to all the people of Chu State...... Also, could it be that when Ling Lang died, there was only Ling Ai by his side, and General Shen never suspected this matter?"

Hearing this, Shen Xiangnan's body stiffened, the strength in his hand suddenly loosened, and he put down the imperial doctor who had just been held tightly in his hand and fell to the ground.

At this time, Shen Xiaoxiao's face had turned white, her eyes were wide, she looked at Shen Xiangnan and then at Su Jingxuan, and said with an ignorant expression: "Brother Jing, Daddy, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word?"

Before the words fell, the imperial doctor who was thrown to the ground got up from the ground, knelt down, and replied to Su Jingxuan: "Three steps is not only a highly poisonous medicine, but also because the effect of fighting poison with poison is the antidote to some strange poisons, so it has a price on the market, and if ordinary people want to get this poison, they can only find a way from the Tianchi tribe, but this tribe is a nomadic people, and it is difficult to find traces, and it refuses to communicate and contact with people outside, and it is very difficult to get three steps from them." ”

This medicine is so strange that the Tianchi tribe can't think of a way to refine it from itself, so where did the three steps that poisoned Shen Zimiao come from?

There is no need to delve into it at all, normal people will naturally think of General Shen's wife, the daughter of the patriarch of the Tianchi tribe in the past, that is, the biological mother of Shen Zimao and Shen Xiaoxiao.
