The clump of acacia in front of her was delicate and intense, and Shen Yu listened to the sound of reading, and hesitated.

He Chun seemed to be able to guess her thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "His Royal Highness likes to come to the imperial garden to play the most, the weather is hot today, I'm afraid I will hide under the flowers and read again." The princess doesn't have to worry, just rest in the pavilion with peace of mind. ”

Shen Yu was much relieved when she heard this.

The Fifth Highness is the Chengping mentioned by Xu Yan just now, who is the same age as her, but he was born in Layue, a few months younger than her. Xu Yan had also briefly introduced the royal family to Shen Yu before, and when he mentioned this Fifth Highness, he was full of praise, saying that he was benevolent, diligent and inquisitive, which was very different from the crown prince and King Wei.

Shen Yu didn't want to disturb other people's reading, and after watching the acacia for a while, she didn't rest in the pavilion, but went elsewhere.

At this time, Xu Yan stood on the gold brick of the Lama Temple, looked at Emperor Huiping opposite, and was silent.

Emperor Huiping was quite annoyed, "Did you say that Cheng'an was crazy!" It's not good to think about it behind closed doors in the house, but it's so biting and framing! This case was investigated by you and the prince together, and it is clear that he is wrong, but how can you say that you are colluding with the prince? I don't have a regular meeting here, but he is getting more and more noisy! ”

"According to the character of King Wei, I am afraid that this matter is instigated by others, and the imperial brother should please calm his anger."

"Alas!" Emperor Huiping sighed, "Look at what was said above, it was said that Shen Ming was a member of the Wulin Sect, and his behavior was sneaky. also said the names of him and Princess Duan...... Hmph, the bigger it gets, the more confused! ”

Xu Yan's fingers shrank slightly, and he said: "Shen Ming's matter, the younger brother has already reported to the imperial brother, he has been lurking in the Wulin Sect for the past few years, and it is really to eliminate harm for the people. The subordinate brother didn't know about the matter, but he was by no means a person who hid treachery. ”

"I know." After Emperor Huiping lost his temper, his anger dissipated, and he leaned back in his chair, only feeling a headache. However, he specially called Xu Yan over, naturally not only for this, but after sorting out his thoughts, he sat up straight, "King Wei did this strangely, it doesn't look like his temperament." What happened to what I told you to look into? ”

Xu Yan's heart jumped slightly, and his voice was indeed calm and unwavering, "According to the courtier's inquiry, there is a judge in the Shi Division, the head of the Wei Palace, named Cui Zhan. Three years ago, Ning Yuan Houye took him to Beijing and gave him the surname Cui, and then arranged to work in the Wei Palace. This time, the reason why the prince and his younger brothers were able to find out Jiang Ge Lao's case lightly was that this Cui Zhan also contributed a lot. ”

"Cui Zhan?" Emperor Huiping read the name suspiciously.

Xu Yan nodded and said no more.

On the throne, Emperor Huiping thought for a while, and then asked again: "Can the identity of this Cui Zhan be clarified?" ”

"The younger brother only found out about this matter yesterday, but he didn't have time to find out his identity yet."

"I see." Emperor Huiping's eyes were gloomy.

Tsing Yi under his command inquired about the life stories of various people in the court, even if a small person like Cui Zhan had a low official position, he had something to do with Ningyuan Houfu, and there should have been news. Especially Cui Zhan is still a person from the Wei Palace, he should have paid more attention, but he has heard the names of the other people taken in by the Cui family here, but he has never heard of Cui Zhan-

Obviously, someone deliberately concealed it!

When Emperor Huiping thought of this, he only felt a layer of cold sweat on his body. Tsing Yi was originally his cronies, but now, someone is actually doing tricks and feet in it to cover an inconspicuous vertical son related to Ningyuan Houfu?

So what is Ningyuan Houfu's calculation? Use a few other people as a cover to hide Cui Zhan?

Cui Zhan...... Cui Zhan ...... "Emperor Huiping muttered this name, looked at Xu Yan a few times, and there were no more orders. After a long time, he spoke: "I will ask someone to verify this matter, and you don't have to worry about it anymore." I'm afraid Princess Duan is still waiting for you in the imperial garden, go over and have a look early, don't make her tired. ”

The last sentence was said unintentionally, Emperor Huiping didn't pay attention to it because he remembered Cui Zhan's affairs, but Xu Yan's heart was slightly shocked, and he couldn't help but glance up at Emperor Huiping, and said: "Then the younger brother retires." ”

"Hmm." Emperor Huiping didn't raise his head.

Because Duan Bao was beside him, Xu Yan didn't dare to show too obviously, and hurriedly glanced at Emperor Huiping, and then withdrew from the Lama Palace.

The sun is shining outside, illuminating the glazed tiles on the palace are unusually bright, compared to the strong agarwood in the hall and the cramped feeling under the pressure, when standing outside the hall, you can see the sky high and the clouds are open.

Xu Yan walked silently towards the Imperial Garden, recalling Emperor Huiping's last words, and felt more and more that something was wrong.

He knew Emperor Huiping's temperament, except for the long-deceased imperial concubine, he had never taken any woman to heart. Even if it is a queen, it is just a courtesy, not to mention the other concubines in the palace and the princesses who are not very close, they rarely get the special care of Emperor Huiping.

Not to mention those princesses outside the palace, even the crown princess who may become the queen in the future has not been taken by Emperor Huiping in his heart, let alone Princess Wei, Princess Kang and others.

But today, when Emperor Huiping was worried about Cui Zhan's affairs, he could still remember Shen Yan in the imperial garden, afraid that she would be tired?

Is he overthinking?

Xu Yan shook his head, feeling that he was simply crazy. The imperial brother is obsessed with the Tao for the imperial concubine, and she is the only one in his heart between his eyebrows, how can he take special care of Shen Yan, a little girl? What's more, Shen Yu is the princess of Duan, no matter how ridiculous the imperial brother is, he will not have any dirty thoughts.

Should it just be a little bit of concern for my younger siblings? It is he who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Thinking like this, when he saw Shen Yu with a faintly depressed face, all those thoughts flew out of the clouds. He walked over quickly, wondering, "Aren't you happy?" ”

"Nope." Shen Yan shook her head and consciously held Xu Yan's palm, "Let's go back?" ”

Xu Yan felt that something was wrong with Shen Yan, but she didn't want to say it, and he couldn't ask in the imperial garden, so he took her out of the palace as if nothing happened.

After the two of them got into the carriage, Shen Yu collapsed her face that was trying to pretend to be calm, and muttered, "Where did I offend the queen?" ”

"Is the queen embarrassed for you?" Xu Yan was surprised.

"Hmm. Said a lot of strange things, saying that I was also a ...... Forehead...... Fairy embryos. Shen Yu took the lychee in the small drawer, peeled one and fed it to Xu Yan's mouth, peeled it for herself, and muttered: "It's just that the concubine is angry with me, why does the queen pick her nose and eyes at me?" ”

"She's picking on thorns too?"

"Sort of, I said that I was not well educated, and I didn't know how to measure myself in the Imperial Garden. It's not that I want to sue, it's just that she's picking on the thorn like this, I should always figure out the reason, otherwise wouldn't I want to be a dead ghost? Shen Yan seriously recalled her several contacts with the queen, and it seemed that nothing had angered her.

Could it be that it was because of Concubine Cui's instructions that the queen intended to target her?

Between contemplation, the slender hand unconsciously peeled the lychee and put it into his mouth one by one.

Xu Yan looked funny next to him, grabbed the peeled ones and ate them, and said, "On a hot day, be careful if you eat too much and get hot." He naturally felt surprised, since Shen Fei's first visit, the queen was very strange, and at that time she mentioned Shen Fei's family background in her words, and today she said things like upbringing......

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand where the queen's hostility came from, so Xu Yan shook his head helplessly.

But Shen Yan suddenly remembered something, "Your Highness-" She turned her head suddenly, her lips rubbed against Xu Yan's chin, but her voice was a little eager, "Did you ask my mother if she had a holiday with the queen mother?" ”

"Well, the first time I met the queen, how?"

"Why is Your Highness asking this question?" Shen Yan's eyes burned.

Is this the reason she has already guessed? Xu Yan didn't dare to interrupt, so he said: "The relationship between the queen and the concubine is flat, so it won't target you because of the concubine." If you say that you don't deal with me, you won't make the imperial brother unhappy by reluctantly deliberately talking about your family background. I think she's upset when she sees you, as if she can't help but be sarcastic. She mentioned her mother-in-law many times that day, and I became suspicious. ”

"Yes, when she talked to me today, she also mentioned her mother." Shen Yu frowned, tried to think for a moment, and today's words of Empress Huo came back to her mind clearly.

"Yes, it's about mother!" Shen Yu sat up suddenly, "Mother must have had an entanglement with the queen!" ”

She suddenly remembered her mother's strange expressions - she was reluctant to let her marry Xu Yan at that time, for fear that there would be too many rights and wrongs in the royal family; When she told the story in the capital back then, there were some places where she wanted to stop talking; After Mrs. Meng's funeral, Concubine Cui summoned their mother and daughter to the palace, and the mother deliberately prevaricated, and finally let Mrs. Meng accompany her into the palace.

Is it because the mother has a holiday with the queen that she refuses to enter the palace, so as to avoid right and wrong, right?

Shen Yu thought like this, and her heart became more and more determined. She naturally doesn't want to be targeted by the queen when she is idle, this matter is related to her peace in the palace and outside the palace in the future, or she should ask the reason and be prepared, so she made up her mind immediately, "I want to find time to visit my grandmother." ”

"Okay." Xu Yan agreed.

Shen Yu threw down this knot, then turned her head and asked Xu Yan again, "What is the emperor calling His Highness for?" ”

"King Wei's business, he is restless, which makes the imperial brother angry." Xu Yan took Shen Yan into his arms, and his hand restlessly drilled into Shen Yan's arms, "I'm afraid that someone is making trouble behind me, so I have to check it carefully." ”

- After marrying Shen Fei, the husband and wife are one, and he will more or less tell Shen Yu about these things, so that she knows the inside story, which is always helpful. However, King Wei framed him, as well as his malicious speculation about the word "Yu Ming" for her brother and sister, Xu Yan did not say.

Shen Yu also nodded, "King Wei can confront the crown prince, he should be a person who knows the times, why did he sprinkle salt on this juncture, which made the emperor even angrier." ”

"That's right." Xu Yan rubbed it for a long time, and her heart was about to move, holding Shen Yan's slender waist and telling her to come over tightly, her lips had already reached her chest, "My auntie, she is really smart." ”

……

What kind of clever thing is that?
