The night is as quiet as a deep valley, and the moon is like a hook.

Qu Wurong and Tassel only brought a few Praetorian Guards to Chengwang's Mansion. Since Shen Wu'an ascended the throne, he has been very dependent on Shen Liancheng, so many ministers in the court have close contacts with him, even more powerful than when Emperor Zuo was in charge of the Broken Soul Tower. Shen Wu'an has always turned a blind eye, he feels that Shen Liancheng is sincerely attached to him, and let them befriend Shen Liancheng.

"Tassel, if there is any change in Shen Liancheng in the Chengwang Mansion, you will take the opportunity to escape from the Chengwang Mansion and go to the military department to transfer troops."

Qu Wurong had already thought about what Shen Liancheng would do to him, but he still kept a hand. Because without himself and Shen Wuan, he would not be able to convince the people of the world. Shen Liancheng is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, how can he allow himself to have a stain on his body, which is why he was defeated by his own hands back then.

Tassel followed behind Qu Wurong, and she was making a difficult choice in her heart. She didn't know which side she should be on in the end. If it weren't for Shen Liancheng, she wouldn't even be able to enter Tiandu City, let alone be able to follow Qu Wurong now. It seems that things can only go one step at a time.

Shen Liancheng had already heard Qu Wurong walking towards his mansion, and the entire Heavenly Capital City was covered with his eyeline. There is turmoil in the palace, and it is all under his control. Shen Duanlang fled, Shen Wu'an also disappeared inexplicably, and it was reasonable that Qu Wurong would come to find him. But if she wanted to get any news from herself, it would be wishful thinking.

"I don't know if Niangniang came to the little king's mansion, she missed the distance! Please don't blame Rong Niangniang! ”

Shen Liancheng brought all the slaves in the house to pick it up.

Qu Wurong was really poisoned, and her husband disappeared, and she didn't have any anxious expression on her face, but she was afraid that she was dying in a hurry now.

"The prince is polite, I also remembered that tomorrow is the ceremony of the queen, and I specially came to invite the prince."

Qu Wurong saw Shen Liancheng standing in front of the mansion from a distance, waiting to greet him. There are so many eyes in front of him in the palace, and someone must have reported the news of his trip to the Chengwang Mansion a long time ago. In fact, she knows very well that now the two of them know each other's cards, and it depends on who can play this card well. Just now, Qu Xiaoliang had already told Qu Wurong that Shen Duanlang was in the Chengwang Mansion, and he didn't know where Shen Liancheng would hide him? This big Chengwang Mansion is like a labyrinth, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find someone who intends to hide.

"Rong Niangniang, please sit inside! The younger brother really has some congratulatory gifts to give to his mother. ”

Shen Liancheng said that he would lead the way in front, and he could already feel Qu Wurong's uneasiness. This is the result he wants, Shen Wu'an is much easier to deal with than Qu Wurong, he is like a straw bale, if Qu Wurong has not been helping him, how could he have ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

Qu Wurong glanced at the tassel and asked her to wait for an opportunity.

After walking a few steps, Shen Liancheng and Qu Wurong arrived in the lobby. The splendid splendor of the Chengwang Mansion is known to everyone in the capital, and the luxurious Cheng dù is better than the palace. Because Shen Wu'an has always been indulgent, the ministers of the DPRK and China are all good friends with Shen Liancheng, so no one has ever impeached him.

"Niangniang, please take a seat, come here, go and make a pot of good Biluochun for Niangniang."

After Qu Wurong sat down, Shen Liancheng pondered: "Niangniang, there is a sentence that my brother doesn't know whether to say or not?" ”

"It's all a family, if there's anything you shouldn't talk about, just say whatever you want!"

Shen Liancheng also pulled a chair and sat beside Qu Wurong, and he asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, my brother heard rumors in the palace that his father was missing, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Qu Wurong didn't expect that he hadn't opened his mouth to talk about this matter, but Shen Liancheng had taken his own army. Obviously, he asked him to send someone to rescue Shen Duanlang, but now his tone is as if he and Shen Wu'an murdered Emperor Zuo. His trick didn't seem to be obvious, but he just asked. If Shen Liancheng used this incident as an excuse to spread rumors to the whole world that Shen Wu'an had assassinated Emperor Zuo, even if there were thousands of mouths, it would not be clear at that time. Shen Wu'an and himself will definitely be infamous as unworthy descendants. This Shen Liancheng is getting older and older now.

"I don't know who the prince listened to, the people in the palace like to talk about it, spreading rumors everywhere, for fear that the palace will be quiet. If the prince knows who said this, he must remember to tell me, I have to let the emperor ask him to behead. The affairs of the former emperor are not things that others can comment on in vain. ”

Shen Liancheng sighed and said, "Niangniang is really thoughtful, and my brother wants to know if there is such a thing." If my father really has some three strengths and two shortcomings, I'm afraid that the eldest brother will be saddled with the name of unkindness and injustice, and I am also worried about the emperor! ”

Qu Wurong heard that Shen Liancheng had something to say, this was an insinuation and told himself that he had already won the game, so it was best for him to be restrained. However, what Shen Liancheng said is reasonable, if Emperor Zuo is allowed to die in an unknown manner, the most difficult thing to explain to the world is Shen Wu'an and himself. She had to let Shen Liancheng know the value of Emperor Zuo, and she couldn't let him take Shen Duanlang's life right now. Otherwise, Shen Wu'an and his own chances of winning would be even smaller.

"Lord Wang, now that it's over, I won't hide it from you. My father really disappeared in the palace, and I came to Chengwang's Mansion this time not only to invite you to participate in tomorrow's post-sealing ceremony, but also to find my father's whereabouts with the help of the power of the Broken Soul Building. You said that if my father allowed those ill-intentioned people to murder him, wouldn't we become sinners for the ages? I don't know who captured my father, he must have wanted to use his father's prestige to rebel. ”

Shen Liancheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did Niangniang say this? My father has become a deposed emperor. Today's emperor is the eldest brother, and it doesn't seem to have much effect if he catches his father! ”

Qu Wurong saw that Shen Liancheng was walking step by step into the trap he had set, and his manic mood finally calmed down. Now the more important thing than finding Shen Wuan is to stabilize Shen Liancheng and prevent him from attacking Shen Duanlang.

"Think about it, my father has been in power for more than 30 years, and how many of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are his old subordinates. Isn't this comparable to the emperor and the prince today? If someone threatens his father and plots a rebellion in his father's name, it will be a response! ”

Shen Liancheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, thanks to Qu Wurong's reminder, he was still thinking about killing Shen Duanlang and blaming Shen Wu'an just now, and then he would be the desire of the people. But Qu Wurong woke up the dreamer with a word. Now six or seven out of ten ministers in the court are Shen Duanlang's old ministers, if he is allowed to come out against Shen Wu'an and Qu Wurong, and manipulate him behind his back, wouldn't it be the most perfect cooperation.

"What Niangniang said is reasonable, we must do our best to find our father. If people with ulterior motives are allowed to make a fuss about this, I am afraid that it will really cause chaos in the world. I've already filmed the most powerful tracker in the Broken Soul Tower, going to find the whereabouts of my father. I heard that Niangniang's health has been poor recently, and the courtier's brother has been busy with court affairs these days, and he didn't have time to say hello to his mother, which is really a dereliction of duty by the minister's brother. ”

"What is the prince talking about, the emperor relies on the prince so much, the court is busy, and my little illness is still worried about the prince, it is really troublesome for the prince."

Qu Wurong knew from Shen Liancheng's eyes that he had given up the matter of killing Shen Duanlang and blaming Shen Wu'an. In this way, she doesn't have to bear the notoriety of killing her father with Shen Wuan. Although he knew that Shen Duanlang was in his mansion, how could he be rescued? Moreover, Shen Liancheng has not said a word about Shen Wu'an from the beginning to the present, which also makes Qu Wurong have no idea where to start.

"Niangniang, shouldn't my brother congratulate you on becoming the queen of the world soon. This is really a gratifying thing, the younger brother prepared a gift for the queen ceremony tomorrow, I hope the mother will like it. ”

As soon as Shen Liancheng's words fell, he saw two girls wearing red and green rings walking out holding a pair of jade ruyi. Qu Wurong has been in the palace for many years, but he has never seen such a good jade Ruyi, it seems that Shen Liancheng has also worked hard to confuse himself.

"Lord Wang, I have never seen such a good jade Ruyi, and I don't know where to find such a pair of priceless treasures."

"As long as the mother likes it, even if it is a treasure that is difficult to find, the younger brother will definitely find it for the mother. This is the younger brother sent someone from the south to transport it, thinking that the mother should like it, I didn't want to win the mother's love, and it was not in vain that the minister's brother worked hard. ”

After Qu Wurong ordered someone to accept Yu Ruyi, she still had one thing to do, that is, to find out Shen Wu'an's whereabouts from Shen Liancheng's mouth. Tomorrow is the post-sealing ceremony, if there is no Shen Wu'an, this post-sealing ceremony is probably just a paper talk, and the water is in the mirror. Now the post-closure ceremony is no longer her personal matter, it is related to the safety of the society and the future of the people in the world.

"Lord, there is still something to ask for in this palace."

Shen Liancheng said with a smile: "If Niangniang has anything to say, just say it directly, as long as the minister can do it, he will do his best to go to the soup and die." ”

"Look at you, you are strict, where can you let the prince go to the palace for such a thing, if you let the emperor know, you won't take off the head of the palace. You don't know, the emperor only has a younger brother like you now, but the baby can't do it? ”

"By the way, why didn't the imperial brother come over tonight? He told me in the palace this morning that he was going to come to me for a few drinks tonight. ”

Shen Liancheng sent someone to escort Shen Duanlang from the palace to the mansion, although he knew that Shen Wu'an was also missing. But it was not him who took Shen Wu'an away, and he suspected that this was a move by Qu Wurong and Shen Wu'an to join forces to test himself.

"What? I heard Jin Yu and Liangyuan say that the emperor came to Chengwangfu in the afternoon to look for you. ”

Qu Wurong made a fumbled move, wanting to listen to some rumors from his mouth. Who knew that the result disappointed her, because Shen Liancheng was thinking about where Shen Wu'an was like her?

"No! I haven't seen the royal brother since morning. How can these two girls be untrustworthy? Could it be that something happened to the imperial brother? ”

Qu Wurong smiled indifferently and said, "No, when I first came over, the emperor was discussing with the officials of the Ministry of Rites about the post-sealing ceremony tomorrow." It's not too early today, and the palace will go back to prepare for tomorrow's post-sealing ceremony, so I won't bother the prince. ”

"Weichen sends Niangniang!"
