Except for the plaque at the door, there is really no change in the house.

Shen Bai took the hem of her skirt and strode into the house, and all the people along the way looked at her in surprise, but no one dared to stop her.

The Sun family was still living in Xiruoyuan, and before he entered the courtyard, Shen Bai heard a mess of cries inside.

Running too fast, her chest began to tingle, and when she was about to reach the gate of the hospital, the stinging pain intensified, Shen Bai covered her chest, her legs were weak and she almost knelt on the ground, Gu Hengzhou reached out to grab her waist and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Bai's face turned pale, fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his brows were twisted in pain, which was not very good at first glance.

Gu Hengzhou's face sank, he picked her up by the waist, and turned around to take her to the doctor, Shen Bai gasped and said, "I brought medicine, just drink one." ”

Murong Xuan gave her the medicine yesterday, and before leaving the palace today, Shen Bai brought five pills on his body in a porcelain bottle.

Gu Hengzhou stiffened his face, hugged Shen Bai into Xiruo Garden, the yard was a mess, Gu Hengzhou was like entering a no-man's land, carried Shen Bai into the house, poured tea and let Shen Bai drink the medicine first.

The Sun family was lying on the side of the bed crying breathlessly, and he couldn't even care about Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou, and the maid who was serving the Sun family was shocked by the two, but seeing Gu Hengzhou's cold expression, he didn't dare to open his mouth to stop it.

Since meeting Gu Hengzhou, this is the first time that Shen Bai has had such a strong angina, and after drinking the medicine, Shen Bai slowed down for a quarter of an hour before calming down.

Gu Hengzhou kept holding her hand tightly, for fear that she would disappear in the next moment.

Shen Bai took two deep breaths, smiled at Gu Hengzhou, signaled that he was fine, and then got up and walked to the bed.

Sun lay on the edge of the bed and hugged Shen Po tightly, the three-year-old Shen Po was white and fat, with a chubby face, and a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, but at this time, his eyes were closed, his lips were purple, and he was lifeless.

He's dead.

Even if there is no soul bell now, Shen Bai can't see the soul, and he can see that Shen Po has cut off his breath.

The purple lips are very abnormal, and Shen Bai said calmly: "Now everyone is not allowed to move around at will, the ingredients in the kitchen and all the things in the house must be preserved, go and ask the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the young master to perform an autopsy!" ”

"No! My son is not dead, and no one is allowed to touch him! Sun cried and yelled at Shen Bai, her eyes were red, and she looked like a murderer, "You broom star, it's all you, you've disappeared for three years, why do you suddenly want to come back, Po'er has been fine before you come back, as soon as you come back, he died, you killed him!" ”

The Sun family is not calm now, Shen Bai didn't listen to her words, and sat in the courtyard with Gu Hengzhou, and asked the nursing courtyard to take care of all the people in the house according to the instructions.

Half an hour later, the people from Dali Temple came, Sun's emotions were too excited, Shen Po's body could not be moved for the time being, and the people of Dali Temple only searched the subordinates in the house and Shen Po could touch things on weekdays.

This is a rather complicated matter, and the people of Dali Temple have searched until nightfall and have not found anything.

The cause of Shen Po's death is still uncertain, it happened too suddenly, everyone was caught off guard, and the adults of Dali Temple wanted to enter the palace to face the saint and greet Gu Hengzhou before leaving.

It wasn't until Hai that Shen Ruxiu came back from outside.

He was very surprised to see Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou here, but he didn't bother to ask so much at this time, he went into the house to see Sun and Shen Po.

Sun was already tired of crying, but when he saw him, his emotions suddenly broke out again, crying so much that he smashed a lot of things, and finally passed out directly because he was too excited.

The subordinates hurriedly brought the government doctor to treat her, and Shen Ruxiu took the opportunity to take Shen Po's body out and handed it over to the Dali Temple for autopsy.

Shen Ruxiu's head was smashed, and there were several scratches on his face, his expression looked tired and sad, and the majesty of the prime minister was broken.

Even if he doesn't have any feelings for the Sun family, it is hard to have an old man like Shen Po, but it hurts too much.

Now that this child has died under his nose, the blow to him will naturally not be light.

The Sun family couldn't leave anyone here, so Shen Bai only asked his subordinates to bring gauze and trauma medicine, and directly helped Shen Ruxiu treat his wounds in the courtyard.

Shen Ruxiu had calmed down at this time, and asked Shen Bai, "Why are you here?" ”

"Pass by the road."

Shen Bai said lightly, dipped a cotton ball in wine to help Shen Ruxiu clean his wounds, Shen Ruxiu hissed in pain, Shen Bai didn't listen to the movements of his hands, and asked for Sun: "Today is only the first day of the new year, and even the court has been closed for three days, where did the prime minister go if he didn't stay at home?" ”

Before Shen Bai left, he asked Shen Ruxiu not to fight so hard, he obviously didn't believe it, it was normal for the Sun family to complain about him, although Shen Bai was distressed, he was also angry.

is so old, can't Old Man Shen stay at home properly?

Hearing Shen Bai's resentment, Shen Ruxiu glanced at her and said stereologically: "This is Zhaoling's matter, you are now a member of the Dongfang family, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”

You can really do it, if Zhaoling doesn't have you as an old man, it will be difficult to achieve it and not run it well.

Shen Bai was speechless, and was about to increase the strength in his hand, Gu Hengzhou grabbed her hand and whispered, "I'll come." ”

Shen Bai realized that he was in a bad mood, handed over the things to Gu Hengzhou, and sat down in front of Shen Ruxiu.

There is no need to go to the court today, he did not wear a crown, and most of his white hair was revealed, which was much older than when Shen Bai died in his previous life.

Shen Bai's heart was blocked, his throat was choked badly, and he turned his head away and refused to look at him.

Gu Hengzhou dealt with the wound much faster than Shen Bai, and as soon as the bandaging was finished, the people from Dali Temple came back with Shen Po's corpse.

Shen Po was poisoned to death, the poison was hidden in the rice balls that Shen Po ate in the morning, it is not highly poisonous, adults will not die, Shen Po is too young, he ate a bowl of rice balls, and soon became poisonous.

Shen Ruixiu obviously had already guessed this result, and when he heard it with his own ears, he still clenched his fists uncontrollably, trembling with anger.

It's just a three-year-old!

Shen Bai was also uncomfortable in her heart, she couldn't sit still, stood up and walked out regardless of it.

Gu Hengzhou immediately followed, out of Xiruo Garden, Shen Bai almost ran away, Gu Hengzhou didn't let her run around, grabbed her and brought her into Shuyun Garden.

After leaving here for three years, Shen Ruxiu has been let people clean it, the yard is very clean, but no one is waiting, only a red lantern emits a faint light, and it is very quiet.

Gu Hengzhou wrapped her in his arms, patted her head lightly and said, "It's not your fault, without you, this child would not have been born safely." ”

In his previous life, Sun's health was not good, and he had a difficult birth not long after.

Now that I think about it, at that time in the last life, the family had already set their sights on Shen Ruxiu, and they didn't want the Shen family to prosper, if it weren't for Shen Bai's rebirth, he made waves in Beijing during that time, attracting the attention of those people, and Shen Po would not have been able to stay in Sun's belly until he was born safely.

He has survived until now, strictly speaking, it can be regarded as earned.

But it's easy to say, but it's hard to accept.

Shen Bai grabbed Gu Hengzhou's arm, lowered his voice and said, "I told him, let him not fight so hard, he is so old, even if he is not for himself, he should think about Shen Po." ”

Shen Po died, and the Shen family's incense was broken.

Gu Hengzhou hugged Shen Bai tightly and said firmly: "The prime minister is right, the wrong person is the one who is playing tricks behind his back." ”

Shen Bai wrapped his arms around Gu Hengzhou's waist hard.

She knows.

She knew that her father had been insisting on justice for so many years, wanting to make this world better, and it was those who were wrong with their desire for profit and harming others and benefiting themselves.

But seeing Shen Ruxiu's white hair and Shen Po's corpse, Shen Bai couldn't help but feel a strong sense of guilt, if she hadn't changed the direction of things, she should have been the one who suffered this.

In the last life, she couldn't bear to let Shen Ruxiu live a bloody life at a great age, so she always carried these on her shoulders, and in this life, for Gu Hengzhou, she left them behind.

She's pretty selfish.

Shen Bai didn't tell Gu Hengzhou what he thought in his heart, all this was her choice, and Gu Hengzhou had no reason to bear these negative emotions with her.

After staying in Shuyun Yuan for a while, Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou returned to the Great Commander's Mansion together, and the guards had already sent Murong Xuan back.

After resting overnight in the Great Commander's Mansion, early the next morning, Shen Bai and Murong Xuan took a carriage back to the palace together.

Murong Xuan was so drunk that the guards forgot to feed him the sobering soup, and when he woke up the next day, he had an unbearable headache, and his eyes were very sad when he looked at Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai.

Shen Bai thought about things in his heart and ignored him.

The second day of junior high school still does not need to go to the court, and there is still a New Year's celebration in the palace, not far from the imperial garden is the Nanchen Palace, when he is about to reach the gate of the Nanchen Palace, Sun Yuehai walks quickly with the dust, and on the order of Zhao Che, please Shen Bai to sit in the imperial garden.

Murong Xuan was very vigilant and wanted to go with him, but Shen Bai stopped him and asked him to go back to Nanchen Palace to rest, and he followed Sun Yuehai to the Imperial Garden.

Before the beginning of spring, the imperial garden is still blooming except for three or two branches of plums, and everywhere you see is a barrenness.

Zhao Che sat in a four-corner pavilion, the pavilion was blocked by a mat around it, Sun Yuehai helped Shen Bai pick up the mat, and Shen Bai walked in.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the gazebo, and it was warm. 020

Zhao Che was sitting in a dark gold silk embroidered dragon dress, simmering wine on the table next to him, and a chessboard on the stone table in front of him, and he was still playing chess with himself.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Shen Baifu saluted, Zhao Che didn't raise his head, and said coldly: "Don't be polite, sit down." ”

Shen Bai walked up to him and sat down, Zhao Che was not polite, and said familiarly: "Accompany me in the next game." ”

Shen Bai didn't speak, he helped collect the white zi, Zhao Che dropped a son on the chessboard first, and Shen Bai pinched the white son next to him.

Neither of them spoke again, and there was silence around them, except for the sound of chess pieces falling on the board.

Half an hour later, Shen Bai said softly: "I lost, Your Majesty's chess skills are superb, if Your Majesty hadn't kept letting me, I would have lost this game a long time ago." ”

Zhao Che lifted his eyes to look at her, and said playfully: "Compared to three years ago, you are much calmer." ”

If you can't move and lie in bed for three years, there's nothing to hold onto.

Shen Bai slandered.

Putting down the chess pieces in his hand, he looked at Zhao Che calmly, and said softly: "Your Majesty is looking for me today, not just because you want me to play chess with you, right?" ”

Zhao Che didn't answer and asked: "You didn't deny what I just said." ”

"I am both the Oriental Kite Spirit and Shen Bai, there is no need to deny it." Shen Bai generously admitted, the corners of Zhao Che's lips were pressed, his eyes deepened, and the majesty of the emperor spread silently, he slapped the table, the chess pieces on the chessboard trembled, and said angrily: "Shen Bai, you are so bold!" ”

The palace people waiting outside the pavilion were so frightened that they knelt down, but Shen Bai sat there motionless, in the previous life, Zhao Che was so angry that he glared at him for a long time, if he went back, he would have to pick Shen Bai's head, Shen Bai was afraid that he would have died eight hundred times.

Shen Bai's eyebrows did not move, he looked directly into Zhao Che's eyes, and said softly: "I am not only bold, but also capable, Your Majesty also knows that the Dongfang family is the first family of the Nanxiang Kingdom, and their head of the family can even influence the decision of the monarch many times, and now that I have the attention of the Dongfang Family, it is also a great guarantee for the friendly relationship between Zhaoling and Nanxiang in the next few decades, shouldn't Your Majesty be happy?" ”

Dongfang Kite Ling's identity was said by Murong Xuan, strictly speaking, it was not Shen Bai who deliberately wanted to deceive Zhao Che, and the crime of bullying the monarch was not strictly detained.

And admitting her identity as the Oriental Kite Spirit can bring too many benefits to Zhaoling.

Hanjing these big families rely on nothing more than the wealth and connections accumulated by their ancestors over the past hundred years, Zhao Che has only been on the throne for three years, the reform is too strong, it is normal to cause disgust, he wants to sit on the throne, let Zhaoling develop in a better direction, and borrowing power from Nanxiang through Shen Bai is the fastest and most effective way.

It was impossible for Zhao Che not to figure this out.

He would never kill Shen Bai.

The pavilion fell into a dead silence, I don't know how long it took, Zhao Che chuckled, his eyes were slightly bent, the emperor's coercion was all dissipated, and the bottom of his eyes was dyed with a warm smile, like a spring breeze in March.

If Sun Yuehai was waiting inside, he would be surprised to find that Zhaoling, the young emperor, had been smiling the happiest since he ascended the throne for three years.

Zhao Che turned around and took the simmered wine, poured two glasses himself, and handed one to Shen Bai.

The wine is a good pear blossom white, I don't know how long it has been in the national cellar, the wine is fragrant, and Shen Bai secretly swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva when he was just playing chess.

However, remembering that he would pour as soon as he was drunk now, Shen Bai looked away with difficulty and said restrainedly: "My body is not as good as before, so I can't drink." ”

Zhao Che paused, looked her up and down, didn't see anything wrong with her, and asked half with concern and half tentatively: "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Bai said truthfully: "I was injured three years ago, and I was left with heart disease, and I had angina pectoris yesterday, which was very uncomfortable. ”

"Later, I will ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to help you take a look, the Imperial Hospital has recruited a lot of new Imperial Doctors, and their medical skills are very good, so many people can always be cured."

After all, he became the emperor, and Zhao Che's tone of voice was the same as in the previous life, unconsciously a little strong, not allowing others to refuse, and not feeling that anything could stop him.

Shen Bai sighed secretly.

didn't argue too much with Zhao Che, picked up the glass of wine, respectfully touched the glass with Zhao Che, raised his head and drank it all.

Zhao Che's eyebrows stretched again, and he didn't know if it was because Shen Bai admitted his identity, he had the illusion of reuniting with his best friends and drinking and talking.

The pear blossom is white and mellow, the entrance is tough, and it penetrates the intestines and stomach, and the hot warmth spreads from the stomach to the limbs, and even the fingertips are quickly hot.

It's been a long time since he's drunk so much, Shen Bai subconsciously closed his eyes and savored it.

Wine.

Shen Bai's expression was extremely enjoyable, Zhao Che was already used to these delicacies and wines, and at this time, he actually felt that today's pear blossom white was much more fragrant than in the past.

Zhao Che poured himself another glass, and wanted to add wine to Shen Bai, Shen Bai blocked the mouth of the cup with his hand, and said rationally while the wine was not yet rising: "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five Supreme, it is really not polite to pour wine for me, I am sick, I really can't drink anymore, Your Majesty may as well say it directly." ”

Zhao Che put down the wine jug, feeling that after three years, Shen Bai had become strange and boring, he had no eyesight at all, and he still wanted to reminisce about the past, but she wanted to destroy the atmosphere and talk about business.

But the atmosphere has been destroyed, and it is impossible to pull it back again.

Zhao Che drank the second glass of wine, collected his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "The little young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion is gone yesterday, what do you think about this?" ”

Shen Bai was lazy, propped his head and said leisurely: "The Dali Temple's work has experienced the corpse, the corpse is poisonous, it is confirmed that it is poisoned and died, it must be that someone behind the deliberate poisoning, how to investigate, how to investigate, Dali Temple has decades of experience in solving cases, I believe that they will never let go of the real culprit behind the scenes." ”

Her facial features are now completely open, she hasn't been exposed to the sun much for three years, her skin is becoming more and more white and tender, her youthful atmosphere has become very light, and the softness in her bones exudes with the wine, without deliberate pretentiousness, but she can't take her eyes off it, and her heart is poked soft.

Zhao Che played with the wine glass in his hand, his eyes darkened, but the words he said were very rational: "Since the people behind the scenes dare to poison the Prime Minister's Mansion, they must have been ready to replace the dead ghosts, and the people of Dali Temple can't find out the real murderer no matter how much they investigate." ”

Shen Bai raised his eyes to look at Zhao Che, and his tone became cold: "So according to Your Majesty's wishes, my brother deserves to be poisoned, and my father deserves to be sent to a black-haired person?" ”

"If I wanted to, you wouldn't be sitting here now." Zhao Che sat up slightly straight, this was his exclusive posture to talk about business.

Shen Bai is the one who has lived two lives and walked away in the Ghost Gate for three years, she doesn't have so much energy to engage in those calculations, sighed and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have always felt that you are tired of living like this. ”

Her tone was a little helpless and a little sympathetic, if it was placed on ordinary people, it would be a great offense to the Ninety-Five Emperor, and she would be dragged out and beheaded immediately, but on her, Zhao Che only felt that her heart was soft, as if someone had seen through all his strong support and disguise, and understood the most real him.

"Why am I tired?"

Zhao Che asked gently, because he drank wine, his voice was lower than usual, and it was much softer, as if he had returned to the time when he was a prince.

Shen Bai grabbed the chess pieces on the chessboard and played, the wine was surging, her eyes were a little confused, she said: "Since the death of the first queen, Your Majesty, you have never trusted anyone again, right?" ”

After the death of Emperor Hengde, it has been a long time since no one dared to say the word empress in front of him, Zhao Che's body stiffened instantly, Shen Bai was unconscious, and continued: "The power of the family is intertwined in Hanjing, at that time, the Wei family declined, and the uncle was sent to Yunshan Temple to become a monk, you are alone in Hanjing, you are afraid that Your Majesty will abolish your crown prince because of the change of situation, and you are also afraid that someone in the palace will plot to kill you, so you are hostile to everyone, you want to be a generation of Ming Jun, but the premise is that you want to live." ”

Shen Bai can actually understand Zhao Che very well, he grew up in such an environment, if he didn't have enough scheming, he was afraid that he would have died in Huangquan a long time ago.

Zhao Che's hand holding the wine glass slowly tightened, and the strength was so strong that the joints of the bones turned white, and the hatred and fear rooted in the bone marrow surfaced in his heart again.

Even if Li Deren is dead and the Jiang family is slowly declining, he will still be angry and angry.

"But now that you have ascended the throne, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Zhaoling are at your feet, what are you still afraid of, Your Highness?"

Shen Bai asked softly, looking at Zhao Che with ignorant eyes, "The Shen family is just a scholarly family in Zhaoling, my father has been an official all his life, and he doesn't even have a superfluous real estate title deed under his name, he is all focused on the Li Min Sheji in Zhaoling, since Your Majesty wants to reuse him, why should you guard against him?" He's obviously just an old man who is about to turn over half a hundred years old. ”

Syllable.

The wine glass in Zhao Che's hand was pinched and shattered, and the bottom of his eyes was full of anger, flashing murderous intentions, because the darkest and ugly side of his heart was ruthlessly exposed by Shen Bai.

Shen Bai felt the danger, but she didn't feel afraid, she looked at Zhao Che, her expression became compassionate, and muttered: "Your Majesty has so many shadow guards, and you know that there will be people who will wait for the opportunity to murder the ministers of the humerus, why don't you protect his family?" ”

In the previous life, Shen Bai had been a courtier for Zhao Che for ten years, of course, he knew that the most important thing in imperial art was to distinguish rewards and punishments, and to pay equal attention to grace and power, Shen Ruxiu was very loyal to Zhao Che, but he was too rigid and benevolent, so he couldn't be like Shen Bai, and he could not do anything to kill the family as soon as possible.

Zhao Che allowed those people from the family to kill Shen Po because he wanted to provoke Shen Ruxiu's hatred, so that he could better serve him.

This is a commonly used method of the royal family, Zhao Che can go to this day, and he is naturally well versed in this, but this method pays the life of a living child.

Because he is a close relative, Shen Bai can feel the pain more deeply.

Shen Bai's throat was choked, her eyes were hot and red, and like many times in her previous life, she felt that the person sitting in front of her was like a monster with no heart and no feelings.

He obviously sits on top of 10,000 people, controls the lives of countless people, and enjoys countless honors and glories, but he is extremely lonely, and no one can be trusted to confide in.

The wine glass shattered, Zhao Che's palm was scratched, and red blood flowed down his palm.

Shen Bai subconsciously got up, broke Zhao Che's hand, and used the silk handkerchief she brought with her to help him wrap the wound, and then she squatted in front of Zhao Che, grabbed his hand and said word by word: "Your Majesty, the Shen family and the Gu family will always be your loyal ministers, my father is already old and can't stand the toss, if Your Majesty is willing, please give me a chance to take revenge, and I will clear out those who have different intentions behind the scenes for Your Majesty." ”

The strength of the wine was rising, and Shen Bai was heating all over his body, and his palms were even sweating, which was amazingly hot.

It's been too long since anyone has grabbed his hand like this and spoken to him, and Zhao Che's heart is also hot, and even his blood is boiling.

Taking two deep breaths, he held Shen Bai's hand back, his heart was hit by something, and his breathing stagnated.

He felt that he should say something or do something, but Sun Yuehai's voice sounded out of place outside: "Your Majesty, Commander Gu asks to see you." ”
