Xiao Huai didn't snub Shen Xi for long, and when she found the apse in the evening, she was sorting out the dowry she brought from the Shen family.

"Did you take any medicine?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.

His soup not only dispels fatigue, but also has a nourishing effect.

After all, a woman's family has to endure more hardships than a man in sexual affairs, not to mention that he is still a martial artist.

If you are impulsive, even if you are restrained, you will inevitably be reckless.

"Eat. She turned, "Is there any news from Helan over there?"

"Haven't come back yet, not so fast. He led her out of the door and sat down on the porch, "Don't worry about any variables on Zhou Qian's side."

"Right now, even if your identity is revealed, I am enough to protect you.

"Moreover, I have checked, and the purpose of slaughtering the Helian people was not made at the time of the establishment of the kingdom. It's a matter of three years of Jianwen.

"Li Deng has no blood feud with the Helian people, and his will itself is a bit strange.

But because the Helian Dynasty ruled the Central Plains long enough, the Tuoba people were victorious, and this hatred increased on a whim.

No one doubted that there was something wrong with this will, and no one ever looked into the cause. ”

Shen Xi was a little surprised: "You mean, did the first emperor make this decree due to something else?"

"That's my conjecture. Xiao Huai stroked her cheek, "Maybe it's time to enter the palace to meet Zheng Xiu." ”

Zheng Xiu is the closest person to Li Ding, and after Li Ding's death, this will was still thoroughly implemented in her hands.

Naturally, no one knows the matter of the palace better than her.

"The first emperor favored Zheng Xiu, and Zheng Xiu obeyed the order, could this will be because of her?"

Shen Xi remembered that she was not very clear about the past of the Queen Mother.

only knew that she was born as Li Ding's concubine, and later she assisted when he fought the world, and she was deeply favored for this reason, and finally had the capital to fight against Li Ding's wife and concubine.

And the things before she became Li Ding's concubine, including how she became Li Ding's concubine, no one seems to have mentioned it.

"It's not impossible, but it's not. Xiao Huai said, "She doesn't have that much ability to form a blood feud with the Helian nobles."

"Moreover, the massacre of the Helian clan is inseparable from the destruction of the country by Great Qin, Zheng Xiu's struggle to play with the internal squirting is still successful, how can she get involved in such a thing as destroying the country?"

Shen Xi thought so.

But if Li Ding and Zheng Xiu never regarded Helian as enemies, then how did this will come down?

Is it Mrs. Bi?

What kind of enmity does he have with the nobles of Great Qin?

He didn't have a wife or children, could it be because his wife and children all died at the hands of the Great Qin nobles? Or did he die at the hands of Prince An's mansion?

So fifty-one years ago, Zhang Ying began to plan the destruction of the country?

It sounds reasonable, but fifty-one years ago, Bi Shangyun was as old as Zhang Ying.

A man of sixteen or seventeen years old may have a wife, and he may have one or two children.

However, planning and arranging such a big event is not something that can be done in a while, and his reasons for planning to destroy the country for the sake of his wife and children have always been a little weak.

Even if it was him, there must be another reason.

She leaned sideways over the railing, her brow slightly furrowed.

Pearl walked over: "Shizi, Shizi Concubine, someone from the Shen family has sent a message, asking when he can arrive at the mansion tomorrow? ”

Shen Xi sat up and looked at Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai thought for a moment and said, "What does it look like at the end of the hour." He said softly to Shen Xi: "So that you can sleep more." ”

Shen Xi suddenly understood what he meant, and slapped him on the arm.

Pearl smiled and said she was going down.

The matter of entering the palace to face the saint was still chosen to thank him half a month later, and now Zheng Xiu is under house arrest by Qi Rui, Xiao Huai can only see her through Qi Rui.

It's not difficult to meet, but it's not good to do it too deliberately.

When they enter the palace, Cining Palace will have to show their faces, and look at the sky to check, which is also called logical.

The moon is still shining tonight.

Xiao Huai and Shen Xiwen stayed for a while, coaxed her to sleep, and then quietly left the palace.

Helan Zhen and his guards have been standing outside the Taoist temple in Xicheng for half an hour, and everything is as usual in the Taoist temple, even because it is night, it is even quieter.

"How is it?" Xiao Huai, who had also changed into night clothes, came to his side.

"Why are you here?" Helan frowned.

"Can't sleep. He said.

Helan was a little speechless.

Glancing at him, he said: "There are only five people in the entire Taoist temple, an old Taoist priest, and he has been in this temple since the previous generation of Taoist leaders.

Several little Taoist priests were all disciples he accepted, and the one the guards saw, twenty-four or five years old, with a Jingshi accent, lived in the ear room in the southwest.

"The backyard of the Taoist temple is actually a miscellaneous room, only one of which is stacked with some books, the other two rooms are empty, and the other room is filled with idle furniture. ”

Xiao Huai frowned: "If there is a tunnel in the backyard, then the old Taoist priests should know about it." Are you sure this hasn't happened to the rest of us?

"What's going on around the Taoist temple?"

"Nope. The guard next to him came up, "Only that young Taoist priest named Yunqing, this Yunqing doesn't know martial arts."

"To the east of the Taoist temple is an alley, and there is a side door for daily access. On the west side is a shop. On the back is a family house. ”

Xiao Huai groaned, and then said to Helan: "Go in and have a look." ”

Here the guards left a group of ambushes around, and then followed him and jumped into the audience gently.

This Taoist temple is veritably small, so small that it is as big as a courtyard with three entrances.

Directly to the backyard, Xiao Huai raised his sword and summoned the guards of the communication agency to enter the interior to investigate first, and he walked around the courtyard to take a look.

After a while, Helan said, "Go in." ”

Entering the room on the left where the books were stored, the place where the night pearl was lit was messy, but strangely there was not much dust.

Under the north wall stood the guard who came in earlier: "Young master, there is a secret door here!"

As he spoke, he bent his finger and tapped lightly on the wall, and sure enough, there were several empty sounds.

"Open!" Helan Yan walked over first.

The guard glanced at the neighborhood a few times, and gently flicked a lock that was randomly placed on the top, and the wall was indeed opened, and behind the wall it should have been an alley or street, but after the door opened, a narrow corridor appeared, and there was no way out at the end of the road.

Xiao Huai touched a fake window on the wall, this window was actually movable, and he pushed it open with some force, and it turned out to be a mansion over there-

Originally, this was not too unusual, the houses in this area were crowded, and there were many yards next to each other.

But is this courtyard an ordinary courtyard?

There are red lights everywhere you look, colorful silk is hung under the corridor, and there are signs of private prostitutes hanging at the gate of the courtyard on the other side......

It's a secret prostitute!

"This is interesting!" Xiao Huai raised his hand and muttered, "Could it be that we are all wrong, this door is only kept by the old Taoist priests for easy access to the water?"
