When he arrived at the other courtyard, Xiao Huai had just come back from the morning court, and saw her sitting behind his bookcase and looking at the map of the Jingshi Yutu.

"The emperor today refuted Han Dun's excerpt about the examiner of this year's Yanjing Township examination."

Xiao Huai said while removing his official uniform: "This is rare, in so many years, even if he is dissatisfied with Han Dun, he has never refuted his face to face, so this morning, the saliva of the civil official almost drowned the Qianqing Palace." ”

Shen Xi stared at the floor and said, "The master of the imperial examination, Han Dun is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and it stands to reason that he has the power to appoint and dismiss examiners.

"But he has already made his ambitions clear, if he controls the imperial examination again, the talents selected in the coming day will all be his Han Ge Lao's people.

"If the emperor wants to stabilize the imperial power, he naturally has to have his own people, and he can still turn a blind eye in the past, how can he do it in the future?"

Speaking of this, she stopped and said, "Is there any movement coming from Bifu?" ”

"That's what I'm going to tell you." Xiao Huai changed his clothes and walked back, and said, "Taifu is going to court this morning." ”

Shen Xi's brows twitched. "What did he say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just listened to government affairs."

"Because of last night?" She frowned.

Observing government affairs in the DPRK, does this mean that he has not let go of the government affairs? Isn't Hatton embarrassed?

Since he had already picked his pick, it was impossible for him to suddenly change his mind because someone from the house had stabbed a maid to death.

She subconsciously felt that he wouldn't be for this reason.

"Remember when we retreated last night, Li Qiu happened to visit?" Sure enough, after thinking for a moment, Xiao Huai said, "I guess Li Qiu's visit is one of the reasons. ”

Shen Xi thought for a while and said, "What has the little emperor done recently?" ”

"I haven't been fighting on the pro-military guard lately," he swiped his index finger over the map, "but I think it's too soon." If it drags on any longer, it will only be cheaper for Hanton. ”

Speaking of Han Dun, apart from the fact that he was suspected of designing a trap for Shen Xi in Yunnan, there was no more news coming.

She didn't know what he was going to do, and she hadn't received any more news from Li Chen recently.

"By the way, that young master—" Xiao Huai suddenly mentioned it again, "No one in the palace has heard that there is any young master in the Taifu Mansion. Are you sure you didn't mean to be wrong? ”

Shen Xi was also a little unsure when he said this.

It is said that if there is really such a person around Bi Shangyun, then Yan Wangfu should be aware of a little bit of everything, and they have not even heard of it, how can she insist that there is such a thing?

But she did remember that Bi Shangyun was very solemn when he mentioned "Young Master", and he also stopped vigilantly when he noticed something abnormal.

And when he asked the maid later, she always felt that the maid clearly knew something, and she still had a golden hairpin on her head, how could it be just an ordinary second-class maid?

It's just that she'd rather die than say it.

So, does this better illustrate the importance of this young master's identity?

"It's impossible to hear it wrong." She said slowly, "My attention was on him the whole time, and I didn't even miss his breathing, how could I mishear what he said when he was close at hand?"

"It's just that I'm not sure if this 'young master' is related to what I want to investigate."

If Bi Shangyun is not that person, then it is none of her business that he has a lot of secrets.

So, she shouldn't put the cart before the horse.

Xiao Huai's face was also solemn, and he asked her, "Then do you have an impression of him?" ”

She shook her head: "I don't have an impression of my face." But," after a pause, she looked up again: "He has a hexagonal scar on his left wrist, as if I had seen it somewhere." ”

"Hexagonal scars?" Xiao Huai frowned, "But the one on his left forearm?" Many people have seen that scar. I remember hearing him say that he was burned by accidentally getting his tongs on fire when he was a child. ”

Shen Xi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I remember that many of the tongs were shaped like this," he said. If it is a commoner's house, it is not uncommon for it to be burned occasionally when the fire is burned. ”

Shen Xi shook his head again.

"But I haven't been close to many civilians, and even if that scar is ordinary to others, why do I have an impression of me?"

How could she have come close to something like tongs in her previous life?

Even if it is a person who serves around him, if he has such a scar on his body, he will be counted as having irregular facial features, after all, the Zhang family has no shortage of good-looking subordinates, right?

And if it is a casual person or thing she meets outside, how can she have an impression?

However, when she thought about it carefully, she still couldn't catch that trace.

"I just think I've seen it on some occasion, and the shape of the hexagonal seems to be accompanied by some unpleasant memories.

"But I can't remember, I can only be sure that I have seen it in a previous life, because I have not touched this thing at all in this year, and the scar on his hand is not new."

"It's not that hard." Xiao Huai touched her head and said, "I'll ask Su Yan to inquire about when this scar fell." ”

Shen Xi nodded. "Remember to check the 'young master' by the way."

Xiao Huai called Su Yan and gave him an order, then turned his head and asked Shen Xi again: "Why did you let Pearl go to the Xu family's cemetery instead of you last night?"

"Do you say that you want to go to the grave during the day, and I will not? And why did you go to Bifu without me? Do you know how dangerous it is? ”

Shen Xi was a little displeased when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried." And I didn't really plan to send her to the graveyard, it was just a cover. ”

Although this disguise failed.

Xiao Huai looked at her deeply, pinched her face, but didn't say anything more.

Shen Xi stayed in the courtyard until the next day, Xiao Huai was going to dinner, and Su Yan might not have heard the news so quickly, so she went back to the house on the same way.

Just past the threshold, Qi Jiu greeted him: "Something happened to the Mu family!" ”

…… When Shen Xi arrived at Qionghuatai, Mu was already waiting upstairs.

The originally dignified and beautiful face was swollen to one side. But even so, she sat there straight, without the slightest embarrassment.

"Madame!"

Shen Xi stepped forward in three steps and two steps and held her hand.

She stood up, grabbed her and said, "You're finally here!" ”

Shen Xi nodded and helped her sit down.

Mu Shi couldn't wait and said: "You tell me first, do you know the person your parents rescued at the beginning?" ”

Hearing her mention this, Shen Xi's heart sank and said, "I don't know, what's wrong?" Did he hit you? ”

Mu shook his head and gritted his teeth, "Han Dun really has a conspiracy!"

"Not long ago, a group of Helian relics were found in Yunnan, who were said to be soldiers of the Qin Palace in the past.

"But one day someone on the mountain was seriously ill, and then he invited a doctor to go up the mountain, and the person who was treated turned out to be a Helian man!"
