The Huben army intercepted the envoys of Dongyi and Rongdi on the outskirts of Beijing, and searched for Shenhou's traitorous agreement in collusion with Dongyi and Rongdi. Because the case was too serious, it was directly tried by Taishi, Taifu, Taibao and King Zhou.

However, Shenhou was an old fox after all, so how could he obediently sit still and wait to be killed? When he was taken out of the prison, King Zhou and the others unexpectedly discovered that this "Shenhou" had been transferred.

King Zhou was furious, investigated thoroughly, and found that this matter was secretly done by Empress Shen and Prince Yijiu. They coerced and lured the jailer and took Shen Hou out, and when he returned, he was replaced by a dead soldier who was quite similar to Shen Hou's body and appearance. This person insisted that he was Shenhou, and resolutely refused to admit that he was a stand-in. As for the real Shenhou, he has already fled.

King Zhou immediately sent the Tiger Ben army to raid the Shen Mansion, and found that the Shen Mansion was full of corpses, and there was not a single living person. After careful inspection, King Zhou found that those who died were all servants, and the female dependents and men of the Shen family had already escaped. But before leaving, they made the illusion that they had been destroyed.

Half a month later, news came from Shendi, saying that Shenhou's two sons had escaped, rectified Shendi's troops, and sent a letter to seek justice from King Zhou, asking why King Zhou had framed and detained their father, and destroyed them, only their two brothers escaped because they happened to be doing things outside. They also openly threatened not to go to Zhou again, unless the king of Zhou released their father.

The eyes of some ministers in the court who looked at King Zhou began to be intriguing again. King Zhou really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it now, so he was so angry that he didn't eat for two days.

Now that fake Shenhou eats and sleeps soundly in the prison every day, King Zhou is not good enough to really kill him. After all, except for people who are closer to Shenhou, no one knows that he is a fake. If he was killed rashly, Shenhou's two sons would be able to justifiably reverse him. Da Zhou's control over various places is relatively poor now, and if someone follows the trend and goes against the trend, the consequences are unpredictable.

If this imposter is really sent to Shendi, the Great Zhou royal family will have no authority among all walks of life, and Shenhou's son can also bite back, saying that the king of Zhou killed their father and sent a fake one back.

King Zhou is now in a dilemma. What makes him even more uncomfortable is that his current situation is caused by his son and queen. It was supposed to be a good deck of cards, but they secretly released Shenhou and made it look like this. King Zhou now feels like swallowing a mouthful of flies.

No, they can't be tolerated any longer! King Zhou was determined to depose Empress Shen and the crown prince. Anyway, the medical officer had already diagnosed that Bao Xi's belly was a son, and now she is about to give birth. King Zhou will no longer be held by Shenhou in terms of heirs.

Shenhou, who was hiding in the dark, naturally would not sit idly by and watch this happen. If Empress Shen and the crown prince were really deposed, and King Zhou set up another crown prince, his status would plummet and he would become a lonely prince. The tiger talisman he had led before had already been handed back, and with the power of Shen Di alone, it was impossible for him to confront King Zhou.

Since the king of Zhou announced the secret agreement between Shenhou and Dongyi and Rong Di, although he defended that this was false evidence made by the king of Zhou in order to get rid of him, he knew in his heart that some people were still willing to believe him, on the one hand, because of his excellent performance in the previous war with Rong Di, and on the other hand, because he was the grandfather of the crown prince, and the king of Zhou currently only had the crown prince's son. To put it bluntly, he has the capital invested by the government.

If Empress Shen and the crown prince were deposed at the same time, those who were now holding a wait-and-see attitude would not hesitate to choose to support King Zhou instead of him. He is not far from being destroyed. Shen Hou knew this very well in his heart.

Therefore, the king of Zhou cannot be allowed to abolish the crown prince. King Zhou's confidence in abolishing the crown prince, isn't it that the praise girl is about to give birth?

When Shenhou thought of this, he asked people to inquire about the situation in the palace. Although Empress Shen has not been officially deposed now, King Zhou has moved her to the Buyou Palace and will never see her again. As soon as Empress Shen falls, those under her command will definitely not be able to jump around. Because Empress Shen had been calling for wind and rain in the palace before, covering the sky with one hand for several years, Shenhou did not expect that she would fall one day, so she did not put eyeliner in the palace, and now there is no particularly powerful person at hand, so she can only inquire about the general situation.

The general situation is easy to inquire, but the key now is that Shenhou can't find anyone available in the palace now!

When Shenhou listened to the informant's report that "now that Bao Xi lives in Mrs. Jiang's Phi Xiang Palace", his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mrs. Jiang?"

"Hmm. It was Mrs. Jiang Gui, who wiped the ambergris jade box kept by the Zhou royal family during the period of the first king, occasionally felt pregnant, and gave birth to a flying dragon four or five years later. The informant explained earnestly.

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Shen Hou's lips. If his estimate was correct, that Mrs. Jiang should be his own woman. If that's the case, things might be much easier.

"Okay, you go down!" Shenhou sent the informant away, turned his head and ordered: "Go and invite General Cai Huanzuo to me." ”

Cai Huan was originally a personal guard by Shen Hou's side, because of his high martial arts value, Shen Hou liked to take him wherever he went. Including when he went to play in the palace.

The queen of the Xianwang period was a cousin of Shenhou's uncle's family. Because the Shen family only has such a daughter in Shenhou's generation, she has been spoiled by everyone since she was a child, although she is a cousin, but the relationship between Shenhou and her is the same as that of a brother and sister.

At this time, people did not regard men and women as very strict, and the queen often invited her family to the palace for banquets. Shenhou was often very drunk, and some of his guards occasionally got drunk in the palace. Sometimes it's not out of the ordinary to get involved with a palace maid or something, and the final outcome is that the queen rewarded them with that palace maid.

But this kind of thing is usually done when the guard applies to Shen Hou, and Shen Hou tells the queen first. Cai Huan was an unrestrained personality when he was young, everyone knew that he had been with the same palace maid for several years, but he never made such a request, and others naturally didn't think about it.

The reason why Shenhou knew about this was because the palace maid was later taken by the former king and was named a noble lady, and she was quite favored, and the first queen felt that she threatened her status and complained to Shenhou in private. Shenhou knew at that time that this woman's surname was Jiang.

Why didn't the queen start with the queen about this palace maid? The first king was honored by the miraculous things that happened to this palace maid, and the first queen could not explain those mythical things at all. Even she herself was in awe in her heart, and she didn't dare to go against that Mrs. Jiang Gui openly, but only dared to complain in private.

There are not many women surnamed Jiang, and there is only one who can achieve the position of the monarch's wife. So today's Mrs. Jiang must be the person at the beginning.

Shenhou prides himself on being different from those mediocre people. He didn't even believe in the "Heavenly Gift of the Monarchy", not to mention those illusory Dongta Shenhou who "gave birth to a dragon son by feeling pregnant" believed that the people who could go to Mrs. Jiang's step were all ruthless and greedy for glory and wealth.

She is not the biological mother of King Zhou, she has no real background, and she has no heirs, if it is revealed that she has had a long-term affair with the guards outside the palace, her reputation will inevitably be affected, and the sense of sacredness in people's hearts will be greatly reduced, and it is impossible to maintain her current respected status. For the sake of a stable life in her later years, she must be subject to them. So, leave this matter to Cai Huan to deal with!

At the same time, in the east side hall of the Phixiang Palace, Bao Xi asked Wu'er to call the frost over.

Since Ning Shuang was in the palace, all the servants in the Shen Mansion had been killed, and the previous sources had been cut off, and no one had reported to her, so she didn't know anything now.

Bao Xi couldn't bear to tell her about it directly, so she asked Wu'er to tell her in advance. The two of them have the same identity, so it is easier to persuade each other.

When Ning Frost appeared in front of Bao Xi, her eyes were still red. Bao Xi looked at it and felt very unbearable.

"Frost, your parents...... I've already sent someone to restrain you, your brother is fine with us, he's still young, he doesn't know about this yet, you have to be strong. ”

When people's feelings have sustenance, they can always be more tenacious.

Without saying a word, Ning Shuang knelt on the ground with a "plop", and kowtowed to Bao Xi a few times with "bang, bang, bang", knocking his forehead to the point that the skin was broken.

"Madam, your great kindness to Ning Shuang, Ning Shuang is unforgettable! Ning Shuang doesn't know how to repay you, only a few kowtows to you. ”

The frost siblings and their parents, who had served for decades for two generations, did not hesitate to kill her parents. If her younger brother hadn't been rescued by Bao Xi's people before, I'm afraid it would have been the same fate. Now she is no longer useful to Mrs. De, and the other party also helped her collect the corpses of her parents. She should kowtow to herself.

"Wu'er, help her up. Bao Xi saw that Wu'er had already helped the frost up, so she continued: "Your brother's body has been much better. I said hello to His Majesty, and you can go out of the palace to take care of your brother in person. Wu'er, give her something. ”

Wu'er responded and handed Ning Frost a one-foot-square box. When Frost opened it, it was full of jewels and belongings, as well as some broken silver.

"These things are enough for you and your brother to need daily, and you can also buy a three-entry house and open a shop in a good location. You can go whenever you want. ”

Before Bao Xi's words fell, Ning Shuang knelt on the ground again with a "plop" and said: "Ning Shuang will not leave! Ning Shuang will stay by Madame's side to serve Madame and repay Madame's kindness!"

If it was Empress Shen, Ning Shuang had no doubt that she would kill herself, how could she let someone who knew so many of her secrets go? But Mrs. De...... Obviously, he just wanted to get rid of the Shen family, so he cooperated with her, and he couldn't even talk about a little loyalty. But she has done so much for herself, and even plans for her sister and brother to make a living in the future!

If I had followed such a master from the beginning, how good would it be? Since it wasn't, I had to spend the rest of my life serving her and repaying her.

"Frost, your brother needs your care. He only has you now. Bao Xi said sternly to Ning Shuang.

Frankly speaking, Ning Shuang's work ability is very good, after staying in the palace for so long, he needs to have vision, he needs to have means, if he can help himself with peace of mind, Bao Xi is very welcome. But Bao Xi knew that she only stayed because of gratitude, and she cared more about her brother.

"But ......" can't have both feelings and meanings, and I don't know what to do with the frost.

"Don't do it, listen to me, take good care of my brother. Bao Xi helped her make a decision.

Frost only kowtowed a few times on the ground. Her mind raced, wondering what else she could do for Bao Xi.

Before leaving, she finally remembered something, turned around and came back to Bao Xi and said, "Madam, Shenhou may not be Shenhou. ”
