Ah Zhen said that the song was taught by her grandfather.

Ah Zhen's grandfather, even if it is not Zhao Shenzhi himself, should be the one who retains General Zhao's gold medal. He was a survivor of the year, and he also escaped the miracle of being buried alive.

Shen Yan'er vaguely remembered the day Grandpa Ah Zhen died. She woke up early in the morning and found that there were many people in the courtyard, and she wanted to go over to see what was going on, but she was stopped by a cook.

"Children are not allowed to look at it." Under the warning of the cook, Shen Yan'er could only stretch her neck to look around.

Through the open door, she saw the back of Ah Zhen sitting quietly in front of the bed.

On the bed in front of Ah Zhen, the thin quilt bulged slightly. It was her grandfather's corpse. Shen Yan'er stood on tiptoe and looked desperately.

Finally, his gaze brushed over the obscurations of Zhen's body from a very marginal angle, and fell on the hand of the corpse hanging on the edge of the bed. I saw that the dry skin was covered with blue-black muscle lines, which looked like rotten wood crawling with moss, and like iron tools swallowed by black rust.

Shen Yan'er was so frightened that she trembled suddenly. It was this shaking that pulled her back from her memories to reality.

That's right, when I saw that withered hand, I was almost scared to cry. Maybe it's because she's too scared and doesn't dare to recall it subconsciously, so after so many years, Shen Yan'er doesn't remember this detail until today......

It wasn't until today that after listening to Phoenix Ke's words and pulling back the memory back to that day, I suddenly realized the secret hidden on the corpse. Ah Zhen's grandfather did not die a natural death, and an old man who died normally could not have dried up and rotted like his blood drained in one night.

Grandpa Zhen's death is exactly the same as the walking corpse in the mass grave.

What happened to the Shen family that night? Who has such a high level of martial arts that they can kill their grandfather who has turned into a walking corpse? If it weren't for that person, I'm afraid the Shen family would have perished a long time ago. Not only the Shen family, but perhaps the entire capital, the entire Phoenix Dynasty, have been wiped out.

Shen Yan'er, who was in a mess of thoughts, was stunned for a long time. After a long, long time, she finally calmed down. It doesn't matter what happened in the past, the most important thing is what the future should be......

"If Emperor Taishang voluntarily abdicated, and you have so many hardships, why don't you discuss it with King Ning?" Shen Yan'er stared at Phoenix Ke and sincerely persuaded, "At the moment when Anli is a foreign enemy, how can there be civil strife between your brothers?" ”

If she could, Shen Yan'er certainly hoped that they could be united. She didn't dare to say how well she knew Phoenix Nanhua and Phoenix Ke, but through Guò's contact with them during this time, she believed that the contradiction between the two brothers was not a dead knot that could not be untied.

"Nanhua has a resentful mind, and it has long been untrustworthy." Feng Feng Ke almost didn't think about it, so he shook his head and rejected Shen Yan'er's kind persuasion.

Although Feng Feng Ke's tone was still smooth and gentle, with a hint of helplessness, between the lines, Shen Yan'er could hear his determination and stubbornness.

"Today, I tell you that I hope you don't reveal half a sentence to him. Once he joins forces with Wei Zhenhai to corner, you should be able to guess what kind of means I will use in the end. Phoenix Ke stared at Shen Yan'er with a threatening gaze.

Shen Yan'er frowned deeply and asked, "Are you going to release the walking corpses hidden underground?" At the expense of the entire Phoenix Dynasty? ”

Under Shen Yan'er's reprimanding gaze, Phoenix Ke was speechless for a while. He hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't dare to say that it will, but I don't dare to say that it will not." If you are really pushed to that point, you must understand that you are responsible for all the consequences - can you afford to take this responsibility? ”

Shen Yan'er lowered her head silently, not daring to speak again.

Phoenix Ke is indeed terrifying, and everything is in his grasp. He told Shen Yan'er all the secrets, not only confiding his bitterness in exchange for Shen Yan'er's understanding, but also sealing Shen Yan'er's mouth more effectively than using Yu'er as a hostage.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that he also made Shen Yan'er really shake.

Maybe you really should tell him Hei's secret......

In order not to have more sacrifices, and in order to let him rein in the precipice, Shen Yan'er has secretly made the decision in her heart to "discuss this matter with Xiao Hei".

Later, the patrolling royal front team killed the walking corpses and rescued Shen Yan'er and others who were trapped on the roof. From that day on, Shen Yan'er's range of activities in the Hail Snow Palace had been expanded to three courtyards—her own, her concubine's, and the one in the middle of the room.

The guards who watched over and protected them were only on the perimeter of the three courtyards, and there were no regular guards between the courtyards, but every once in a while, the guards in charge of patrolling passed through the courtyards to check for anything unusual.

After the death of the palace maid Xiangshu, who was responsible for taking care of Yu'er, Feng Feng Ke wanted to assign a new palace maid, but Shen Yan'er refused on behalf of Yu'er. It was not easy to reunite with Yu'er, leaving an outsider around was too much of a hindrance, and after seeing Shen Yan'er, Yu'er stopped crying and spilling, it was more than enough to take care of her, and there was really no need to add palace maids.

In this way, Shen Yan'er's house arrest life in the Hail Snow Palace was a little more fun than before. For her, Yu'er's smiling face is the best healing medicine, and the scars in her heart are gradually fading.

However, Phoenix Ke's powerful and lonely figure, as well as every word he said on the rooftop, were deeply engraved in Shen Yan'er's mind. Whenever it was quiet in the dead of night, Shen Yan'er couldn't help but think about it repeatedly.

A few days later, Shen Yan'er heard the news that the draft retest had begun from Lu Mingyue, who came to deliver food. The re-examination will determine the status of the show girls in the palace, and the show girls are all working hard, but Shen Yan'er has completely stayed out of the matter and does not need to participate anymore - just like Baoyin at the beginning.

When she first entered the palace, Shen Yan'er was always worried that she would be beaten in the re-examination, missing arms and legs, but after entering the palace, there were waves of unevenness, and she gradually forgot about the re-examination.

The news that there is no need to retake the test came, if it were to change to her before, she would definitely be very happy. However, when she heard the news now, she was not happy at all.

Suddenly I felt that the draft was a farce.

What are those show girls who practice martial arts in Feng Feng's heart? Whether it is to become a queen or a concubine, Phoenix Ke will definitely not even look at them, because Phoenix Ke's heart is heavily filled with persistence and madness for the army of the walking dead.

However, at this time, Shen Yan'er didn't expect that in fact, the beginning of the re-examination was, in another sense, a good news for her.

Because after the re-examination began, King Ning could stay in the palace for a short time as one of the judges. And Xiao Hei, who had already recovered from his injuries in the palace and had completely recovered, finally waited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the palace as King Ning's entourage.
