The private room of the Crane Chasing Tower is on the third floor, only some dignitaries in Beijing can enter, and the private room is elegantly furnished, which is no different from the furnishings in the homes of these dignitaries.

Gu Heng is so slender, he has only been on the second floor, and today is the first time he has climbed to the third floor, and as soon as he entered the door, the innkeeper greeted him enthusiastically: "Young Master Gu, please go upstairs!" ”

The corners of Gu Hengxiu's lips were slightly hooked, his chin head followed behind Xiao Er, and he went up to the third floor, Xiao Er helped knock on the door, and the people in the house quickly responded: "Come in!" ”

Xiao Er retreated, and Gu Hengxiu pushed open the door and entered.

Li Deren sat in the room wearing a graphite-colored gold silk embroidered auspicious cloud dark pattern, with only a pot of hot tea on the table in front of him, and hot air coming out of the spout.

Gu Hengxiu bowed his hand: "The juniors meet the Prime Minister!" ”

Although he indirectly got on the line of the Jiang family through Jiang Yinglou before, he has only been in contact with Jiang Yinglou, and has not officially met Jiang De'an, and now he has seen Li Deren, which is the real sense of contact with the high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court.

Gu Hengxiu tensed his body, trying his best to make his tone calm and calm, so as to appear neither humble nor arrogant, calm and moderate.

Li Deren looked at Gu Hengxiu with scrutinizing eyes and looked at him from head to toe.

Looking at it alone, Gu Hengxiu is also handsome and elegant among the children of the family in Beijing, but when he thinks that he is a young master raised by the Guogong Mansion, and he has the same blood as Gu Hengzhou, he feels that his body is a little thinner, his shoulders are a little thinner, and he does not have the responsibility of the Gu family.

Li Deren didn't look at Gu Hengxiu differently, and asked straight to the point: "Did you let the storyteller in the city spread those rumors?" ”

Gu Hengxiu had already guessed that Li Deren was here for this matter, nodded frankly, and said, "It is indeed the younger generation's doing." ”

Li Deren's face was calm, waiting for Gu Hengxiu to explain the reason, Gu Hengxiu took a deep breath and continued: "Shen Bai is insidious and cunning, he has not inherited the character of Shen Taifu at all, and he does not hide it from the Prime Minister, the younger generation has some festivals with Shen Bai, these days he has been recuperating in the Guogong Mansion, and has been slandering the reputation of the Fourth Highness, and the younger generation knows that the Fourth Highness is innocent, so he makes a claim to make this matter public. ”

Li Deren asked, "Do you think you're helping?" ”

Gu Hengxiu arched his hand and said sincerely: "The junior really wants to help His Royal Highness. ”

Idiot!

Li Deren scolded in his heart, before the storyteller publicized Shen Bai's empathy and self-recommendation pillow seat all over the city, and then there was a mysterious picture album that implied that Zhao Chou insulted Shen Bai, combined with Shen Bai's suicide behavior in the previous three days, everyone would be more willing to believe that Shen Bai was a victim.

After all, how can there be anyone in this world who is obsessed with others, and after being asked for a body, he does not steal pleasure but has no love and short-sightedness?

And in this way, the previous rumors are more like Zhao Chou's humiliation of Shen Bai, deliberately letting out the wind to clear up the relationship, not wanting to be entangled by Shen Bai.

Regardless of whether Gu Hengxiu really wanted to help or deliberately pretended to be innocent, Li Deren didn't have a good impression of him, but Li Deren didn't show it on his face, and asked gently: "Young Master Gu really wants to help?" ”

Gu Hengxiu leaned down and said firmly: "As long as there is a place where the juniors can help, the juniors will definitely be there!" ”

After Gu Hengxiu's words, Li Deren smiled on his face, and said cordially: "Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite, sit down and talk." ”

This sentence of the virtuous nephew is to treat Gu Hengxiu as his own.

Gu Hengxiu straightened up, walked to Li Deren and sat down, and then heard Li Deren ask: "Xingyuan not only brought Shen Bai back to the Gongfu some time ago, but also brought a palace from the palace named Chunxi, is Chunxi still in the Guogong Mansion now?" ”

Gu Hengxiu's eyebrows didn't move, and nodded: "Yes." ”

Gu Hengxiu finished answering Li Deren and stopped talking, poured himself a cup of tea with a calm demeanor, and brought it to his mouth and tasted it leisurely.

Obviously, the person who is now caught in the whirlpool of public opinion is his own grandson, and he also sent someone to invite Gu Hengxiu, but when the two of them sat together, it was still him who was calm and relaxed.

In the end, it was an old fox who had been crawling in the court for many years, Gu Hengxiu couldn't hold his breath after waiting for a while, and took the initiative to ask: "What is the command of this person?" ”

Li Deren took a sip of tea, lifted his eyes, and looked at Gu Hengxiu with a cold look.

This gaze seems calm and gentle, but when it falls on people, it makes people feel like pins and needles.

Gu Hengxiu quickly broke out a layer of cold sweat on his back, he was afraid of showing timidity, so he lowered his head and said, "If the Prime Minister has a need, the junior will definitely do it." ”

The old fox has his own set of rules for doing things, and now that Gu Hengxiu suddenly appeared, he still didn't know who he was, of course he wouldn't take the initiative to say anything, leaving a handle.

Li Deren took another sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, made a sound that was not light or heavy, and said in a deep voice: "Gu Ershao's sincerity is only like this, and there is no need to have any dealings with the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future." ”

After Li Deren finished speaking, he got up and left, Gu Hengxiu didn't even have time to stay, so Li Deren walked out of the private room and strode downstairs.

Gu Hengxiu sat down on the chair dejectedly, his mind was in a trance for a while, and he couldn't believe that he had just sat face to face with the prime minister of the current dynasty and talked for a while, and took the line of the prime minister's mansion and the four princes.

What other sincerity does the prime minister want? Hasn't he already shown himself to be towards the Fourth Highness?

Gu Hengxiu thought about it carefully, thinking of the maid named Chunxi, and his eyes suddenly flashed brightly.

The next few days were very peaceful, Shen Bai obediently stayed in Ling Zhao Palace to recuperate, Han Chen would come to Ling Zhao Palace every afternoon to discuss Buddhism with Wei Ruzhao for a while, and Zhao Che would also come to accompany Wei Ruzhao to have dinner every night.

On the evening of the fourth day, the delegation of the western Vietnamese envoys entered Beijing.

This time, a total of 30 people came to the Yuexi envoy group, escorted ten cars of congratulatory gifts to Zhaoling, and the king of Yuexi, Shanghu Xuan, came in person, and also brought the princess Hu Yuelan.

The group entered Hanjing at an early time, and was greeted by a hundred Praetorian Guards led by Zhen Guogong himself, and the Yuexi warriors who escorted the congratulatory gifts were placed in the post station, and Hu Xuan and Hu Yuelan only brought two warriors to enter the palace with Gu Tingge.

The envoys of the Southern Xiang Kingdom also arrived at Zhaoling in the morning, and the envoys of the Western Yue were the last to arrive, and the palace they stayed in was the Hede Palace, which was very close to the Lingzhao Palace.

When the palace people took Hu Xuan and Hu Yuelan from Ling Zhao Palace, Hu Xuan suddenly felt a cold gaze nailed to him, he glanced back keenly, and only saw the red brick and green tile palace wall, and did not see anyone.

The palace man who led the way respectfully asked beside him, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" But what's wrong? ”

Hu Xuan retracted his gaze and said coldly: "It's nothing, keep walking." ”

The group soon entered the Hede Palace.

Shen Bai lazily jumped down from the courtyard wall of Lingzhao Palace, just in time to meet Zhao Che's eyes when he stepped into Lingzhao Palace.

Shen Bai's expression stiffened slightly, and then he patted the ash on his body casually.

Isn't it just climbing a wall to join in the fun, and she hasn't done anything hurtful, why does she feel empty-hearted?

Zhao Che walked over with a not very good-looking expression.

Some time ago, the autumn rain continued, and a lot of moss grew on the walls of Ling Zhao Palace, and Shen Bai wore a light gray embroidered bamboo dark pattern regular clothes today, and the clothes were stained with a large blue and black stain, which immediately made her look gray.

Zhao Che asked coldly: "What did you see on the wall?" ”

I see your future father-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Shen Bai muttered in her heart, her eyebrows and eyes crooked and her smile was very innocent, she couldn't speak now, and Zhao Che couldn't help her.

Zhao Che wanted to beat her when he saw her smiling like this, Cha Bai was originally waiting far away, but when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said boldly: "Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to calm his anger, and the slave will take the young master to wash his hands and change his clothes." ”

Zhao Che raised his eyebrows and ordered: "What clothes do you change?" Since she likes this, let her stay so dirty! ”

After Zhao Che finished speaking, he went to Wei Ruzhao's bed, and when he was about to walk to the door, he turned around sharply, just in time to see Shen Bai rolling his big eyes and making a grimace.

Zhao Che: "......"

It's such a bastard, how could my uncle think he was attracted to her?

Zhao Che entered the room and sat down, and Shen Bai quickly followed, his expression was as usual, and he did not feel any uneasiness or guilt at all about being caught with a grimace.

The palace people quickly sent hot meals, although they were all vegetarians, but the chefs in the imperial dining room were superb, and each dish was made with color, flavor and taste, which was very tempting.

Shen Bai swallowed her saliva unconsciously, as usual, she could only watch but not eat, only holding her porridge that night, she was still dirty, with this look, she looked like a beggar who came to the palace to commit crimes.

The more Zhao Che looked at her, the more he felt that it was an eyesore, his eyebrows were slightly twisted, and he simply said to Wei Ruzhao when she didn't exist: "Tomorrow is my father's birthday, and my father will take hundreds of officials to worship the heavens and pray for blessings in the morning, and my uncle and I will accompany me." ”

Wei Ruzhao didn't want to get involved in this matter, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, and heard Zhao Che say: "After the sacrifice to the sky, we will go directly to the imperial mausoleum, and the queen mother will be very happy to see her uncle." ”

After Zhao Che finished speaking, he looked at Wei Ruzhao expectantly, Wei Ruzhao's eyes moved slightly, his lips twitched twice, but the words he said were: "People die like lights go out, no matter what happens behind them, the deceased can't see them." ”

Zhao Che used this reason to persuade Wei Ruzhao to return to Beijing, and wanted to use the same reason to let Wei Ruzhao go to worship the heavens together, which was obviously not enough.

Concerned is chaotic, Zhao Che didn't know how to continue to persuade Wei Ruzhao, Shen Bai snapped his fingers, took out a piece of paper and a small section of black charcoal-like things from his pocket and wrote: Si Ren has passed away, but there are many demons and monsters alive, if Uncle Guo can go with His Royal Highness the Prince, it will definitely make many people unable to swallow.

When Wei Ruzhao left Beijing, Shen Bai was not yet five years old, and he didn't know what the specific situation was, but he should have known with his toes that Wei Ruzhao had a very unpleasant quarrel with Hanjing and these old foxes.

His entry into the Yunshan Temple must be a close to the enemy, and now that he has come out of the temple, it is a huge unsettling factor for those old foxes that can stir up the entire Hanjing situation.

Wei Ruzhao looked at the line of words on the paper steadily, and Shen Bai continued to write: Ten years of sharpening a sword, Uncle Guo, if you don't come out of the sheath again, those old foxes won't be able to jump for a few years.

Emperor Hengde is over half a hundred years old, and these old ministers in the court are not young, if one day encounters some natural and man-made disasters, Wei Ruzhao will not find anyone to settle the account even if he has a big blood feud.

Shen Bai's words touched Wei Ruzhao, he pursed his lips and didn't resist anymore, Zhao Che knew that he agreed, his face eased slightly, and then said to Shen Bai: "From tomorrow, martial law will be imposed everywhere in the palace, and the envoys of various countries will live in the palace, everyone will be very busy, you had better stay in Ling Zhao Palace honestly, otherwise if something happens, no one will be able to save you!" ”

This is where Wei Ruzhao lives, and no one will dare to trespass without special circumstances.

Shen Bai nodded obediently, looking like "the master is the most obedient in the world".

Zhao Che didn't believe that she would be obedient at all now, but thinking of her performance before, he knew that she was measured, so he didn't say much.

Zhao Che left soon after dinner, and this night, the entire Hanjing was peaceful and peaceful, and everyone was looking forward to the lively scene of Emperor Hengde's birthday tomorrow.

Only the people of the Night Patrol Division knew that this night there were assassins who attacked the Guogong Mansion, burned the courtyard of the prince of Zhenguo, and almost killed a Gong'e named Chunxi, there were five assassins, and four were intercepted and killed by the guards of the Guogong Mansion, and one was caught alive.

Gu Huaijin, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Qin Yandong, the commander of the Night Patrol Division, escorted the assassins to Dali Temple in a low-key manner, but did not dare to make a noise, so as not to disturb Emperor Hengde and the envoys of various countries.

At the end of the second day, the lights in Ling Zhao's palace were turned on, and the palace people sent hot water early for Wei Ruzhao to wash.

Shen Bai was also woken up early in the morning by Chabai, although she was not qualified to go with the hundred officials to participate in the sacrifice to the sky, the palace people also prepared a set of dark purple and green silk embroidered Feiyan brocade clothes for her, with white jade for decoration, and the same color purple and gold dark pattern wipe the forehead.

Cha Bai also got a set of Gong E's dresses, she had a flexible brain, and her hands and feet were fast, so she combed her hair in a bun like other Gong E, and then carefully helped Shen Bai dress and tie her hair.

Shen Bai tossed a lot a few days ago, and he only ate meat porridge in the past few days, and he has lost a lot of weight, he was originally weaker than ordinary teenagers, but now he looks more and more beautiful when he loses weight.

The strangulation marks on her neck have dissipated a lot, but they are still easy to attract attention, and after a long time, you will find that she has not developed an Adam's apple.

Cha Bai was very worried in her heart, but fortunately, it was winter and the weather was cold, so she found a black scarf to help her block it.

After tidying up, Shen Bai led Chabai out together, and Wei Ruzhao also happened to come out of the bedroom.

It was still completely dark, and there were lights everywhere in the palace, and under the dim lights, Wei Ruzhao took off the gray and white monk's robe and put on a graphite-colored embroidered red python costume.

The suit of clothes was specially ordered by Zhao Che to be made for him by the people of the Internal Affairs Office, the embroidery technique was exquisite, embroidered with gold and silver threads, and the shoulders and the mouth of the clothes were covered with gold and jade gems, which reflected a sparkling luster under the candlelight, and the extravagance was compelling, but I was afraid that it was more luxurious than the prince's clothes.

The monk's clothes have changed into gorgeous clothes, the cotton and linen hairbands have also become silver crowns, and the pure heart master of Yunshan Temple has removed the warmth and compassion on the Buddhist hall, showing the royal majesty in his bones.

Extremely noble and beautiful.

He is the younger brother of the former queen, and he should be like this.

Wei Ruzhao lifted his eyes to look at Shen Bai, Shen Bai did not hesitate, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down towards Wei Ruzhao, raised his hands above his head, and bowed.

Cha Bai knelt down with Shen Bai, and softly opened his mouth for Shen Bai and shouted: "Meet Uncle Guo!" ”

He was not wearing a monk's robe, and Wei Ruzhao did not correct the title of Chabai, he retracted his gaze indifferently, and strode out of Ling Zhao Palace with the palace people.

There were already Praetorian Guards waiting outside, escorting him to the gate of the palace to meet the hundred officials who sacrificed to the sky.

Waiting for Wei Ruzhao to leave, Shen Bai got up from the ground, instinctively yawned, pulled the wound on his tongue, and suddenly gasped.

A palace man probed his brain at the gate of Lingzhao Palace and looked in, the Praetorian Guards at the door crossed the halberd to block the way, the palace people couldn't get in, and took out the silver taels from their sleeves and seemed to want to ask the Praetorian Guards at the door to pass the word in, Shen Bai saw it clearly, and walked over directly with his hands behind his back.

When the palace people saw her, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said eagerly: "Young Master Shen, my mother-in-law asks you to take a trip." ”

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, take a trip? Is this the person who treats her as a person who comes and goes as soon as he calls?

Speechless, Shen Bai glanced back at Cha Bai, Cha Bai understood, and said softly: "The slave maid is the first time to enter the palace, and I can't recognize the nobles in the palace, so I dare to ask which lady my father-in-law is talking about?" ”

The palace people also knew that Shen Bai couldn't speak, so he quickly glanced at Chabai and said to Shen Bai: "My master is Concubine De Niangniang, Your Majesty and the princes have gone to worship the heavens, why will it take two or three hours to come back, Niangniang is worried that Young Master Shen will be bored in the palace, so please ask Young Master Shen to go to Zhuangxian Palace to sit." ”

Foreign men are strictly forbidden to enter the harem, although Shen Bai is only fourteen years old, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is also a young man who should avoid suspicion, so he went to Zhuangxian Palace, what kind of words did he spread out?

Afraid that Shen Bai would refuse, the palace man hurriedly added: "Concubine Shuniang is also there." ”

The corners of Shen Bai's lips raised slightly, how could this last sentence sound threatening, as if she didn't go to Zhuangxian Palace, Concubine De would do something to Concubine Shu.

Shen Bai heard from Chunxi about Concubine Shu's rescue from Yingze Palace, since the palace people mentioned Concubine Shu, if she didn't go this way, she would be a little ungrateful.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai grabbed Chabai's hand and wrote in her palm: Stay in Lingzhao Palace obediently, after the master leaves, no matter who is looking for you, don't go out!

Cha Baixiu's eyebrows frowned, and he said uneasily: "But the young master ......"

Shen Bai pressed Chabai's mouth with her index finger, and smiled easily with her eyes, indicating that she was very confident in this trip and was not afraid at all.

Today, Chabai deliberately drew Shen Bai's eyebrows thicker, and put on some fat powder to make her facial features look very broad and tough, at this time she pressed Cha Bai with her fingers, smiling confidently and freely, Rao knew that she was a woman, and Chabai couldn't help but warm up her face.

The young master looks so good when he laughs!

Shen Bai grabbed Cha Bai's shoulder and turned her around, watching her walk back before leaving Ling Zhao Palace and leaving with the palace person.

Zhuangxian Palace was still a little far away from Lingzhao Palace, and Shen Bai walked with the people of that palace for almost a stick of incense before walking to Zhuangxian Palace.

Emperor Hengde stayed in Zhuangxian Palace last night, Concubine De got up earlier than Shen Bai and them, at this time Zhuangxian Palace was brightly lit, all the palace people were waiting in high spirits, and Shen Bai was taken to the side hall.

In the side hall, Concubine De sat at the top in a gorgeous costume, she was wearing a purple bird Chaofeng concubine dress, her hair was meticulously combed, and she was inserted with a delicate bead hairpin, the most eye-catching is the seven-tailed side phoenix hairpin, the concubine sat on her right hand, wearing a royal blue gold wisp hundred butterfly concubine clothes, also with exquisite makeup, wearing a five-tailed side phoenix hairpin.

The two were talking softly, and the eunuch of the palace shouted loudly: "Young Master Shen has arrived!" ”

The two stopped talking, and looked at the door of the hall at the same time, Concubine Shu's expression was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Shen Bai to appear here at this time.

Shen Bai hooked his lips and smiled, walked into the hall with steps, and bowed to the two of them at a distance of four or five steps, and then pointed to his mouth, indicating that he was speechless now.

Concubine De sat up straight, her noble and feminine eyes looking at Shen Bai inch by inch.

Shen Bai was calm and relaxed, and she looked at her, no different from being in her own home.

Concubine De has seen Shen Bai many times over the years, this child can be regarded as she grew up, before her biggest impression of Shen Bai was a little fart child who got into trouble every once in a while, and later Shen Bai underestimated Gu Hengzhou in Tai Academy, she was very surprised by this matter, she didn't expect Shen Ruxiu to teach a good manly son, until this incident happened to Zhao Chou, she realized that this teenager was not as simple as rumored.

After a long time, Concubine De commanded loudly: "Come here, present a pen and paper for Young Master Shen!" ”

Shen Bai is inconvenient to speak, so write it down, this thing written on paper is much more useful than the words spoken by empty white teeth.

The palace people quickly presented pen, ink, paper and inkstone, everything was ready, Concubine De looked at Concubine Shu with a smile and asked: "This palace has heard some interesting things in Beijing in the past two days, this matter is quite lively in the city, has my sister heard of it?" ”

Concubine Shu didn't look at Shen Bai again after the initial surprise, but only lowered her eyes to look at the good Kodan on her fingertips and said: "The concubine has been sick for a long time, and she has not taken half a step out of Wanshu Palace, and she has not heard any interesting things, so my sister might as well come and hear about it." ”

Concubine Shu is really sick, even the servant bed has been pushed several times, she is most like the first queen, Emperor Hengde took pity on her, and personally ordered her to be exempted from morning and dusk, if it weren't for Emperor Hengde's fiftieth birthday, Concubine Shu should now lie in her own dormitory to rest, instead of sitting in Zhuangxian Palace to accompany Concubine De around the bend.

Concubine De knew that Concubine Shu was hiding from herself, so she sneered and hooked her ears and said faintly: "My sister has been sick for a while, but she really missed a big drama, and now it is known all over the city that there is an unclear relationship between Shen Bai, the only son of Taifu, and my son Jingyuan!" ”

Concubine Shu and Shen Bai's faces were stable, and they did not react in the slightest because of Concubine De's words.

Concubine De stared at the two of them directly, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and continued: "Speaking of this, my sister can be regarded as a witness, a few days ago, it was my sister who took Young Master Shen away from Yingze Palace, what was the state of Young Master Shen at that time, my sister remembered it very clearly, if Young Master Shen really seduced Jing Yuan to do that kind of thing, my sister should be able to see it at a glance, right?" ”

Concubine De defined this incident as Shen Bai seducing Zhao Chou, and this posture was clearly to ask Shen Bai to write down the evidence in court and take everything on herself.

Concubine Shu covered her lips and coughed lightly, and said softly: "Such a big matter, the concubine doesn't dare to say anything, didn't Young Master Shen immediately ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment after being taken out of the palace by His Royal Highness the Prince?" Why didn't my sister ask the imperial doctor who treated Young Master Shen? ”

Men are not like women, if they really do something, they will definitely leave traces on their bodies, and the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor can be seen at once, which is naturally the most convincing.

There is no need for Concubine Shu to remind her, Concubine De's first thought of this matter is this, but when she checked, she found that the person who treated Shen Bai was Imperial Doctor Zhang.

Imperial Physician Zhang's seniority in the Tai Academy is very old, second only to the current head of the Imperial Hospital, Su Yuanhua is her person, Imperial Physician Zhang is the person of the first queen, if the first queen did not die, it should be Imperial Physician Zhang who is sitting at the head of the hospital now.

Shen Bai was born in the former queen's bedroom, at that time, Imperial Physician Zhang was taking care of her, and later the first queen died, and Imperial Physician Zhang only treated Shen Bai alone in addition to treating the prince.

Such a person, even if Shen Bai really has any problems, he will inevitably be biased towards Shen Bai, how can he tell the truth?

Concubine De gritted her teeth with hatred, but smiled kindly on her face: "Sister, haven't you forgotten that the Tai Hospital has regulations, if there is no order from His Majesty, no one is allowed to disclose the patient's condition privately, and what can the palace ask if the imperial doctor is summoned?" ”

Concubine De's excuse was high-sounding, Concubine Shu rubbed her fingertips and whispered: "Sister's words are indeed reasonable, Concubine Fang Cai thought about it carefully, that day Young Master Shen came out of Yingze Palace, with a high fever, his little face was burned red, and his state was very bad, it was nothing, but the concubine accidentally found that there were small pieces of blood on the hem of Young Master Shen's clothes, and the position was impartial, just close to the buttocks. ”

Concubine Shu didn't tell half a lie, paused for a moment and said meaningfully: "Since Young Master Shen is a man, he won't come to Kwai Shui like a woman, if he is injured in that kind of place, it's really unreasonable, my sister said right?" ”

Concubine De never expected Concubine Shu to say such details, she asked Zhao Chou in person, Zhao Chou swore that he had never touched Shen Bai, Zhao Chou was the son she gave birth to in October, she could tell whether Zhao Chou was telling the truth, and in her heart she decided that Concubine Shu was deliberately smearing Zhao Chou, and slapped the table angrily: "Concubine Shu!" This matter is related to Jing Yuan's reputation, you have to think clearly before you say it, don't talk about it! ”

Concubine De's tone was stern, three warnings and seven threats, and Concubine Shu still had a soft smile on her face, and said innocently: "The concubine said that she didn't dare to say anything, it was my sister who said that it was useless to ask the imperial doctor, and she wanted to know the truth, so the concubine told the truth, and my sister scolded the concubine like this without verification, which really made people feel a little wronged." ”

Concubine De asked rhetorically: "So many days have passed, and the palace can't find any scars even now after picking off Young Master Shen's clothes, how can my sister let the palace verify it?" ”

Concubine Shu said with a smile: "On that day, not only the concubine saw the blood stains on Young Master Shen's clothes, but His Royal Highness also saw it, and took off his coat to help Young Master Shen cover it. ”

Concubine Shu was calm and reasonable, Concubine De choked in her throat in one breath, and even her delicate makeup couldn't hide her ugly face.

Concubine De thought that Concubine Shu was pretending to be sick and hiding from herself because she was scared, but today she wanted to take the opportunity to make Shen Bai admit that she seduced Zhao Chou or that nothing had happened between her and Zhao Chou, but she didn't expect that as soon as Concubine Shu opened her mouth, she was proving in disguise that Zhao Chou really insulted Shen Bai!

This concubine, who has been pretending to be gentle and demure for so many years, finally shows her true face this time!

Concubine De gritted her teeth, and Shen Bai, who had been standing there quietly, suddenly picked up a pen and dipped it in ink to write.

The sky outside gradually brightened, Shen Bai held a pen in his right hand, held his sleeve with his left hand, bowed his head and wrote intently: Please don't criticize Concubine Shuniang, when Shen Bai recovers from his injury, he will personally explain to His Majesty that His Royal Highness did not bully Shen Bai, everything is just a misunderstanding.

Concubine De specially invited Shen Bai to get this sentence, but Shen Bai wrote in front that she was harsh on Concubine Shu, which immediately made people think that she used Concubine Shu to persecute Shen Bai.

Concubine De twisted her eyebrows and scolded in a deep voice: "This palace is just making normal inquiries, wanting to know what the truth of the matter is, when did you treat Concubine Shu harshly?" Shen Bai, don't spew blood! ”

Shen Bai nodded, changed a piece of paper and continued to write: Niangniang did not treat Concubine Shu harshly, it was all Shen Bai's fault, which brought so much trouble and trouble to His Royal Highness and Niangniang, Shen Bai was willing to admit punishment, and asked Niangniang not to be angry with my father, my father was honest and frank all his life, and neither he nor the Shen family should be ashamed of me.

Concubine De did plan to threaten Shen Bai with Shen Ruxiu and the Shen family, but she didn't say anything, and Shen Bai wrote down this sentence, as if she used this bargaining chip to force Shen Bai to change her words.

The boy of the Shen family is really not a good stubble, and he can make something out of nothing in a few words, which makes people think about it.

Concubine De immediately gave up the idea of asking Shen Bai to write any evidence in court, and ordered the palace people waiting next to her: "Give all the paper and pen to the palace!" ”

The palace people immediately stepped forward to take away the pen and paper, Concubine De was uneasy in her heart, worried that something would go wrong, and asked in a cold voice: "Burn the two pieces of paper he just wrote!" ”

Another palace person stepped forward to help, took down the lampshade of a lamp in the hall, and burned the two pieces of paper that Shen Bai had just written.

Shen Bai stood there quietly and did not resist, the two pieces of paper had just been lit, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, Concubine De just wanted to ask what was going on, Shen Bai suddenly raised his right thumb and put it in his mouth and took a bite.

Concubine De's eyelids jumped, and before she could ask Shen Bai what she wanted to do, Shen Bai's face changed, her eyes instantly turned red, and her tears couldn't stop rolling down, as if she had been greatly wronged.

At the same time, Gu Hengzhou strode into the side hall.

Today he wore a navy blue embroidered eagle feather brocade robe, shoulders, elbows and knees with sterling silver protective gear, and a crown of cold silver hair, he was older and more indifferent than usual, and at first glance he looked no different from when Zhen Guogong was young.

The palace people were still burning the two pieces of paper, Gu Hengzhou walked over directly, put out the fire first, took the fragments of the two pieces of paper in his hand, and then walked to Shen Bai's side and saluted Concubine De and Concubine Shu: "I've seen Concubine De, Concubine Shuniang!" ”

I don't know what the two pieces of paper have burned, and Concubine De's anxiety is the greatest, but she still tries her best to stay calm, and asks: "Why didn't His Royal Highness go out of the palace with His Majesty to worship the heavens, what did you do in Zhuangxian Palace?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said: "Master Zheng of Dali Temple came with His Majesty's edict to see Young Master Shen and Concubine Shu, I heard that they were in Zhuangxian Palace, so I came here." ”

Gu Hengzhou showed his intentions, but Concubine De keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Today is the fiftieth birthday of Emperor Hengde, the whole country and the surrounding neighboring countries in Zhaoling want to congratulate him on his birthday, if there is no earth-shattering case in Dali Temple, how can he come to ask someone at this time?

Concubine De asked Gu Hengzhou: "The prince personally brought the adults of Dali Temple to invite people today, but for my son Jingyuan?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said with a serious face: "This case is presided over by Dali Temple, I don't know the details, Niangniang can wait for Dali Temple to close the case before asking Lord Zheng." ”

Concubine De choked and couldn't speak.

Gu Hengzhou urged again: "Can Concubine De Niangniang let me take people away now?" ”
