The night breeze inside and outside the prefectural government suddenly stopped, and the sound disappeared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The whole world seems to be condensed, regardless of time or space.

Zhao Mu's face was a little anxious, he looked at Shen Qiwu's eyes, and Shen Qiwu looked at the letter.

The knife was strapped to a bag containing a letter.

Shen Qiwu filled a glass of water and drank it slowly.

"What's on the letter?" Zhao Mu's expression was serious and extremely serious.

Someone infiltrated here under the heavy protection of the guards of the East Palace and embedded a knife into it. And while the night disappeared again, no one noticed. Only the two people in the room, shocked by the pain that might have passed by death.

And this letter represents the reason.

Shen Qiwu looked at Zhao Mu's eyes and said, "See for yourself." After saying that, he felt that his mouth was dry again, and continued to pour water for himself to drink, and because he was a little anxious to drink, some water stains spilled.

Zhao Mu took the letter, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and even his face suddenly changed, and he was a little silent.

Shen Qiwu wiped the water stains on his face with his sleeve and said, "Do you think the things on the letter are true or false?" ”

Zhao Mu said with a serious expression: "It can be true or fake." ”

Shen Qiwu looked at him and said, "Don't you think that since we are here, this matter can be true?" ”

In this way, Shen Qiwu may have some understanding. She understood Yan Ruojun's words, and it seemed that she had vaguely guessed the emperor's intention to ask them not to refuse the invitation of local officials along the way. But is the person who sent this letter friend or foe?

"I know the struggle inside the palace very well." Zhao Mu sighed slightly, he walked to the window, looked up at the boundless night, and continued: "Song Guogong is a person from the imperial concubine's side, and he has always supported the accession of the second prince to the throne, this letter ......"

Shen Qiwu frowned, thought for a while, and then spoke: "Do you suspect that it was the situation set up by the imperial concubine?" ”

Zhao Mu didn't answer, just was silent.

Silence represents acquiescence, but also a kind of psychological pressure.

And Zhao Mu had already felt that the endless pressure around him was slowly squeezing him, making his chest tight.

Now that Zhao Mu has stayed away from the palace, it stands to reason that even the battle of internal strength cannot be transmitted to the far south, but he does feel the battle now, and he is still a pivotal chess piece.

Shen Qiwu looked at the window, she stood quietly beside Zhao Mu, looked up at somewhere in the night sky, she looked back at the letter, and the delicate knife.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Qiwu asked.

The moonlight fell on the window, and only the lonely stars in the sky could be seen clearly.

"No one wants to be a pawn."

Zhao Mu didn't turn around and said indifferently.

Shen Qiwu was silent, no matter who it was, he couldn't blame Zhao Mu. For he had never pleaded with the emperor for any conditions, and even hastily rehabilitated the south under a single edict, for he was so tired of the palace, even if it was only for a temporary departure, he had never been so happy in his heart. But now, even if he has left right and wrong, right and wrong still took the initiative to find him.

No one wants to be a chess piece, because Zhao Mu hates playing chess.

Therefore, Yan Ruojun has never invited Zhao Mu, while Shen Qiwu prefers to play chess.

"Maybe there are other chess players." Shen Qiwu said another possibility.

Since it is a game of chess, it is natural that opponents are needed. can be worthy of being the opponent of the imperial concubine, there will only be two people in the palace. One is His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, and the other is the Empress of the world. One is Zhao Mu's father, the other is Zhao Mu's mother, no matter who it is, Zhao Mu's heart is extremely uncomfortable.

Zhao Mu shook his head calmly and said, "The queen mother has no quarrel with the world, and the only one who can play with the imperial concubine will naturally be my father." ”

"If that's the case, it's not enough." Shen Qiwu thought about it slightly, feeling that this matter might not be as simple as they thought, "Your Majesty is very wise, he can't borrow our hands to get rid of the imperial concubine." ”

Wise as the emperor, he is the master of the Great Zhou and has supreme power, why should Zhao Mulai pull out this grass.

With just one sentence and a holy decree, the imperial concubine can be easily removed.

"I don't understand it either." Zhao Mu didn't turn around, but he could feel that he was smiling.

Zhao Mu is such a simple person, he is rather heartless for such a complex problem. Even if one second he was still overly sad, the next second he could forget about it.

Since you can't figure it out, why bother thinking about it, Zhao Mu stretched his waist.

"Let's sleep, maybe I'll forget about it tomorrow."

When lying down, Zhao Mu and Shen Qiwu slept alone.

It's a bit hot, so you don't need to cover it with a quilt. It just so happened that the bed was quite large, Shen Qiwu was lying on her side, while Zhao Mu was facing her back.

Suddenly, Zhao Mu sat up and said seriously: "Do you say that someone deliberately manipulated us!" ”

"Sleep!" Shen Qiwu was startled by him, grabbed his pillow and smashed it at him.

.....

.....

In the palace, it was late at night.

There was still a candle flame in the imperial study, and the emperor was meticulously reading the military situation on the front line.

Behind the dragon chair still stood a dark shadow, as if it had never left.

The candle flame was reflected, but his face could not be seen clearly, shrouded in a black robe as always. He just kept standing, even though His Majesty the Emperor had begun to get tired.

After a long while, the emperor spoke quietly, as if to say to himself, "Is the matter done?" ”

There was no echo in the empty study, only a dark shadow and an emperor.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and the black shadow stood behind the dragon chair.

"White Shadow must have already made a move."

"Really?" The emperor nodded, but felt extremely tight in his chest, coughed heavily a few times, and then continued: "Mu'er, that kid, is too kind, and he doesn't like to show off much, I just hope he can understand my mind more." Fortunately, he is now accompanied by a smart woman. By the way, Master Yan must still be with them. ”

"According to the intelligence, they have arrived in Dangtu County." The black shadow's voice was hoarse, like that of an old man, but it seemed to be lacking in energy, perhaps having been in the dark for a long time.

"Hmm." The emperor rubbed his eyes, and then he felt that his chest was soothed a little, and he lifted the next note, and suddenly said, "What do you think I should do with those people?" ”

This question is difficult for the dark shadow to answer, and an answer will seem a bit excessive, so he simply keeps his mouth shut, presumably His Majesty will also know his thoughts.

"Huh." The emperor smiled slightly, and he could probably guess the thoughts of the black shadow, and couldn't help but say to himself a little silently, "Forget it, let's clear it together, the province is very troublesome." ”

"That.—" The dark shadow was about to speak, but was interrupted by the emperor's cough. (To be continued.) )
