The entire Yingze Palace was so quiet that there was no sound, and the two palace ladies stood beside Zhao Chou with their heads down, obviously slandering Shen Bai with Zhao Chou for breaking the vase.

The ground was full of debris, and Zhao Chou's expression was very proud, waiting to see how Shen Bai would respond.

Shen Bai didn't panic, glanced at the debris on the ground, and said lightly: "I was summoned into the palace by His Royal Highness the Prince, and there are records from the Praetorian Guards and the palace guards. ”

She was brought to Yingze Palace halfway by Zhao Chou's people, and she would never suddenly go crazy and break Zhao Chou's vase for no reason.

Shen Bai's reaction made Zhao Hou not very satisfied, and he looked at Shen Bai with contemptuous and condescending eyes: "Do you think the imperial brother will destroy our brotherhood in order to protect you?" ”

Shen Bai: "......"

I just want to prove my innocence on the facts, and you are really unreasonable to directly involve the destruction of brotherhood.

Shen Bai secretly rolled his eyes, knowing that Zhao Chou was determined to play a scoundrel and deduct a trumped-up charge on her head today, and he didn't want to suffer the immediate loss, so he lowered his posture: "Shen Bai has offended the Fourth Highness somewhere, and I ask the Fourth Highness to make it clear." ”

Shen Bai lowered his head, the whole person looked much more obedient, Zhao Hou felt that she looked a lot more pleasing to the eye, hooked his lips and smiled evilly: "I thought you were so smart, you should have known what was wrong." ”

Shen Bai said calmly: "Shen Bai doesn't dare to figure out the thoughts of the Fourth Highness without authorization. ”

Zhao Chou kicked over the chair next to him and said arrogantly: "This prince broke his leg while riding the horse you chose, what do you say you are wrong!?" ”

The horse fall incident made Zhao Chou almost break a leg, and he also involved the Jiang family, but in the end, he only killed a small servant girl beside Jiang Qinse, Zhao Chou grew so big, he had never eaten such a deflated.

Although there was no evidence that Shen Bai was involved in this matter, Zhao Chou had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with this kid.

Shen Bai was a little amused and reminded Zhao Chou: "If I remember correctly, that horse was originally picked by me for His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness Fourth killed the horse halfway and insisted on leaving, but turned his head and blamed me for this incident, which is a bit too far-fetched." ”

Except for Zhao Chou on the first night of the autumn hunt, in front of Emperor Hengde and several princes, Shen Bai didn't say a word to Zhao Chou, and it was his own temporary intention to rob Zhao Che's horse, and he naturally blamed himself for something that happened later.

Zhao Chou sneered, and said strongly: "If you don't mention this prince, you almost forgot this stubble, you kid is afraid that he is deliberately plotting to kill the imperial brother!" ”

The charge of deliberately murdering the prince was deducted, not to mention Shen Bai, and even the entire Shen family had to be buried together.

Shen Bai knelt down, but his tone was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty has handed over this matter to Dali Temple for handling, Dali Temple has always been very efficient in handling cases, there should have been a closing statement earlier, Your Majesty has also seen it, Your Royal Highness said such a thing today, do you believe Dali Temple or do you not believe in Your Majesty's judgment?" ”

Zhao Chou can play a scoundrel, and Shen Bai's skills in deducting basins are not weaker than him, he said that she wanted to plot to kill the prince, and she said that he suspected the ministers of the humerus and His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts.

Zhao Chou's eyes narrowed slightly, and the tails of his eyes narrowed upward, staring at Shen Bai dangerously.

Shen Bai's back was straight, and from his point of view, he was obviously a few years younger than him, but the arrogance hidden under the unruly nature on weekdays was faintly revealed.

Zhao Chou thought that Shen Bai was a soft persimmon and wanted to make her angry, but he didn't expect her to be a hard bone, the two were-for-tat, and he didn't have the upper hand at all.

Zhao Chou changed his uninhibited sitting posture just now, sat up straight, supported one hand on his knees, and asked Shen Bai in a cold tone: "You dare to contradict this prince?" ”

"Shen Bai doesn't dare." Shen Bai's tone was gentle, he didn't deliberately provoke or panic, and said calmly, "It's okay for His Royal Highness to hurt his leg and want to make me angry, but if you want to deduct a trumped-up charge on my head, I categorically can't admit it." ”

Shen Bai gave Zhao Chou the steps first, Zhao Chou couldn't convict Shen Bai by himself, and he couldn't lynch Shen Bai to kill him, and it didn't make sense for the two of them to quarrel here.

Zhao Hou immediately grasped the key and looked at Shen Bai suspiciously: "Are you willing to let this prince be angry?" ”

Shen Bai nodded and said without hesitation: "The Fourth Highness is the body of ten thousand gold, although I have no intention of murdering the Fourth Highness, but it is a fact that the Fourth Highness fell from the horse, if I can let the Fourth Highness breathe a bad breath, I should be punished." ”

I thought how hard the bones were, but it turned out to be a useless one.

Zhao Chou was proud in his heart, became interested, and asked, "How do you think this prince should punish you?" ”

Shen Bai thought about it seriously, and said after a while: "After all, I am the only son of Taifu, my father is a little old-fashioned, but the protection is very short, if the Fourth Highness leaves scars on my body and is discovered by my father, it will most likely alarm Your Majesty, once the matter is big, it will be very unfavorable to the Fourth Highness, I think the best way is for the Fourth Highness to lock me up for a few days, let me be cold and starving, remember not to be in the limelight in the future." ”

Zhao Chou was very dissatisfied with this solution, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's it?" ”

Shen Bai also wanted to continue to analyze the benefits and stakes to persuade Zhao Hou to accept his proposal, but Gong E, who was waiting next to him, suddenly spoke: "The slave knows that there are many punishments in the palace that will not leave scars on people's bodies, and if Your Highness needs it, the slave and maid can count a few for Your Highness." ”

That Gong'e gave birth to a goose egg face, it is the best years, fair and tender skin, if she has a good background, she is also very outstanding if she dresses up a little, she suddenly came out to speak at this time, obviously wanting to attract Zhao Chou's attention and seek wealth.

Shen Bairao couldn't help but scold a fool in his heart, no matter how pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade.

She is the only son of Taifu, Zhao Chou will never dare to kill her, and when she leaves the palace, it is too easy to take revenge on a palace ethereal.

Sure enough, what kind of master there is, what kind of minions there are, all stupid together!

Zhao Chou listened to Gong E's words, his eyes lit up instantly, he grabbed Gong E's waist and pulled it to his lap, and couldn't wait to ask: "What's the way, let's hear it!" ”

Gong E was startled, lowered her head shyly, her face flushed, and said in a soft voice: "The palace is full of nobles, if the minions make a mistake and are covered in blood, it will be unlucky, and the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office will use a fine needle to prick the minions who made mistakes, the eye of the needle is very small, and it will recover in a day or two, and it is difficult to be found." ”

Shen Bai: "......"

This sister, the master advises you to be kind!

Zhao Chou was quite interested in this method, and Gong E said: "There is also a kind of punishment in the palace, which is to wet the oil paper and cover the person's face layer by layer, and soon he will not be able to breathe, if it exceeds a quarter of an hour, the person will suffocate to death." ”

The corners of Shen Bai's eyes twitched fiercely, and he didn't dare to speak, for fear that if he fell behind, Zhao Hou would be even more energetic.

Zhao Chou was very interested in these two punishments, and said to Shen Bai meaningfully: "This prince fell from a horse and raised him in the palace for more than a month, if you don't let you also taste the pain that this prince endured, wouldn't it be too cheap for you?" ”

Shen Bai scolded Zhao Chou in his heart, but his face was still calm and light: "If this can make the Fourth Highness happy, naturally I should bear it." ”

Zhao Chou nodded, his eyes were full of terrifying gloom: "It's very bad to see you laughing at this prince, this prince wants to see how long you can laugh!" ”

Shen Bai: "......"

You fucking said that you have a habit of watching people cry, and the master will cry to you when he enters the door, and you still need to be tortured?

Shen Bai slandered, Gong E, who made the suggestion, went down to prepare the torture equipment, Zhao Chou crossed Erlang's legs and hummed a song to eat leisurely, Shen Bai's stomach was very spineless and growled twice, Zhao Chou's eyes were slightly bent, and he felt that bullying Shen Bai was much more interesting than bullying others.

A quarter of an hour later, Gong E came back with a needle bag, followed by a little eunuch carrying water, the little eunuch put down the water, took out a pile of oiled paper from his arms and put it on the ground, and then came over to press Shen Bai.

Shen Bai didn't struggle, the little eunuch pressed himself to the ground, and the palace squatted down in front of her, piercing Shen Bai's back with a needle.

This needle is an embroidery needle, and it is also a real flesh, which is completely different from the acupuncture method that Shen Bai helped Gu Tingge do, although the wound is small, the pain is very sharp.

Shen Bai frowned, gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Her begging for mercy now will only increase Zhao Chou's sadistic desire and make her suffer more.

Gong E knew that Zhao Chou was deliberately torturing Shen Bai, seeing her crying and begging for mercy, Shen Bai would have no fun if he didn't say anything, Zhao Chou couldn't find fun, so he would feel that this idea was not good, in order to get into the eyes of His Royal Highness, Gong E stabbed Shen Bai on the back more than a dozen times one after another.

Shen Bai was so painful that his forehead and neck were swollen, his face was white, and his cheeks were sour, Gong E persuaded softly: "Young Master Shen, don't hold on, scream a few times obediently, and give a soft face to His Highness, so that you can suffer less." ”

Shen Bai was short of breath, gasped for a while before he eased up, and laughed softly: "The master has always been pitiful and cherished, and he has to speak softly to good-looking girls, but my sister's face is inevitably too ugly and hateful. ”

That Gong'e was so proud of her beauty that she would try to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and she was scolded in front of her face and looked hateful, and she suddenly felt disgraced, and she was afraid that Shen Bai's words would cut off her path to wealth and nobility, so she was extremely angry, and she took a needle and pricked Shen Bai dozens of times.

Shen Bai still felt pain at first, but then she became numb, lying on the ground and not moving, if it wasn't for the loud panting, others would think she was dead.

Zhao Hou quickly felt bored, and said faintly: "This prince doesn't want to see a dead fish that doesn't react, so let's change the way." ”

Gong E received the needle, and she was so tired that she gasped slightly, she exchanged a look with the little eunuch, and the little eunuch turned Shen Bai over and let Shen Bai lie on his back, Gong E picked up a piece of oil paper and soaked it and pasted it on Shen Bai's face.

Shen Bai was panting urgently, the first layer of oiled paper was covered, and half of the air was blocked immediately, Shen Bai was a little out of breath, and the second layer of oiled paper was also quickly covered.

The air became thinner, his lungs began to tingle a little, and his brain turned white for a while, but Gong'e didn't continue, and took off the oil paper after a while.

The air poured in instantly, and Shen Bai instinctively took a big breath, but he choked and coughed violently, and his eyes were red.

Finally hearing some movement, Zhao Chou became interested again, and deliberately raised his voice and said, "Isn't it more than a quarter of an hour before someone dies?" What to do so quickly and move on! ”

"Yes!"

That Gong'e responded crisply, covered two layers of oiled paper, and then continued to add paper to Shen Bai's face.

The air is getting thinner and thinner, and the feeling of suffocation is getting stronger and stronger, Shen Bai struggled instinctively, the little eunuch couldn't hold her down, and Zhao Chou called a few more people to come in and hold her down.

Shen Bai is like a fish nailed to the board, being pushed into the abyss of endless pain, constantly approaching death, but in the moment before she is on the verge of death, Zhao Hou will let people peel off the thick oil paper to make her breathe.

After repeating this seven or eight times, the pile of oil paper ran out, Shen Bai's physical strength was completely exhausted, most of his clothes were wet with water and cold sweat, and his mind was chaotic and couldn't turn.

Zhao Chou also felt bored to watch, so he asked Shen Bai to be dragged into the darkroom of Yingze Palace.

The dark room is used by each palace to deal with the errant palace people, the room is narrow, there is no window, only a wall and a door, after the door is closed, the room is pitch black, and you can only smell the faint smell of mildew in the air.

The floor tiles were wet and cold, and the cold air penetrated through the wet clothes and penetrated into the skin and drilled into the cracks of the bones, Shen Bai trembled and curled up instinctively, and his consciousness fell into a bizarre dream.

She dreamed that in the autumn of the twenty-fifth year of Hengqi, Emperor Hengde died, and the fourth prince Zhao Chou took advantage of the chaos to lead troops to force the palace, wanting Zhao Che to take the initiative to give up the position of prince.

Zhao Chou has been planning for a long time to force the palace, and even a large part of the palace guards have been bought by him, the palace door is wide open, and Zhao Chou and Zhao Dingyuan recruited the 30,000 people in the Hanjing lieutenant camp are easy to kill into the palace.

After the death of Zhenguo Gong, Zhaoling's vitality was greatly damaged, Zhou Deshan had already been killed, and the only one who could be relied on among the generals was Gu Hengzhou, but he was far away at the border, even if Zhao Che had a group of highly skilled dead soldiers in his hands, he could not resist the 30,000 army.

Zhao Chou rushed into the Dongxuan Palace with a group of soldiers wearing silver armor and holding large swords and halberds, took out the holy decree that had been prepared long ago, and confidently asked Zhao Che to abdicate and make way for Xian.

That day was the third day of Emperor Hengde's death, Emperor Hengde's body was still in the Dongxuan Palace and did not move, Zhao Che had been kneeling in front of Emperor Hengde's bed to guard, Shen Bai was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it, so he had been accompanying him.

After Zhao Chou rushed in, Shen Bai was also the first to stand in front of Zhao Che.

It's a pity that in the last life, she was dedicated to politics, but Wu Xiu really couldn't do it, and she couldn't help Zhao Che, but was slashed by Zhao Chou's people.

The knife was cut on the left shoulder, if she hadn't dodged quickly, she was afraid that her entire left arm would be cut off with a knife.

She covered her left shoulder, hot blood couldn't help pouring out from between her fingers, quickly staining the ink-colored court clothes on her body, and her eyes were also black for bursts due to blood loss.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Gu Hengzhou wore a silver armor and rode down from the sky on a hunting cloud.

He rushed back from the border pass, wrapped in wind and sand, his silver armor and halberd were stained with blood, and the cold evil qi around him rolled into a black whirlpool, like a Shura who had just come from purgatory, but in Shen Bai's eyes, he was like a god.

That year, Shen Bai had just received the crown gift, and Zhou Jue secretly asked someone to give her a piece of white jade to congratulate her, and Zhao Che personally wore a golden jade crown for her.

That year, three years after the death of Zhenguo Gong, Gu Hengzhou was appointed by the commander of Heng'an to guard the border pass, and he had just completed the three-year filial piety period.

When Gu Hengzhou left Beijing, Shen Bai and Zhou Jue both went to see him off, but after the death of Zhenguo Gong, Gu Hengzhou's temperament became extremely cold, and he didn't say a word to them, and went straight to the border with a hundred personal soldiers.

During Gu Hengzhou's three years at the border, Shen Bai wrote him many letters, but he didn't reply to any of them, and all the letters were lost.

In those three years, I had countless dreams of reuniting with Gu Hengzhou, but I didn't expect that I would say goodbye to Gu Hengzhou when he was slashed and covered in blood.

In three years, Gu Hengzhou has grown up very fast, his face is as cold as ice that has not melted for ten thousand years, he shot steadily and ruthlessly, directly killed nearly half of the rebels surrounding the Dongxuan Palace, rode his horse into the Dongxuan Palace, and stopped Zhao Chou in front of him with an overwhelming thunderbolt.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Hanjing Lieutenant's Battalion were originally pieced together by Zhao Dingyuan, he had no skills, and his daily drills were also very lax, and the number of scary people was okay, and it was completely incomparable with the soldiers and horses brought back by Gu Hengzhou.

The rebels were quickly controlled, Zhao Chou was also taken, Shen Bai lost too much blood, and his eyes were black and fainted.

She originally thought that she would definitely expose her daughter's body, and even if she had a meritorious role in saving the driver, she would be sent to the prison, but when she woke up, she found that she was being held in Gu Hengzhou's arms and walked quickly into the Taifu Mansion.

At that time, Gu Hengzhou was already twenty-three, and he was no longer a cold and alienated young man in Tai Academy, but a mature man who had experienced the loss of his father and the baptism of the battlefield.

After rushing for nearly half a month day and night, Gu Hengzhou's chin was covered with blue and black stubble, a little more vicissitudes, which made Shen Bai feel very unreal, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin.

Gu Hengzhou immediately looked down at her, and at that moment, Shen Bai saw worry, anxiety, and monstrous anger in his eyes, as if he was silently questioning how she could take care of herself to such an embarrassing state.

Shen Bai was not sober, so he was not afraid, but pinched his chin and said, "Brother Gu, I'm going to die, don't stare at me, give me a smile." ”

Gu Hengzhou retracted his gaze and ordered in a cold voice: "Shut up!" ”

Shen Bai did not give up on his request: "Brother Gu, just laugh this time, otherwise I won't be blind when I die." ”

Gu Hengzhou's jaw tightened, without saying a word, and strode into Shuyun Garden with her in his arms.

The people in the house were already frightened by the blood they were all over, Gu Hengzhou carried her to the bed, and directly probed her collar to check the injuries on her body, Shen Bai grabbed the collar with the last shred of reason and said to him: "Brother Gu, it's okay to help me with medicine, but before taking medicine, promise me a request, okay?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said without hesitation: "Okay! ”

Shen Bai lost blood to the point that his face was as white as paper, he licked his lips and smiled: "I haven't said why I agreed to the request of Brother Gu, what if I can't do my request, Brother Gu?" ”

Gu Hengzhou pulled her hand away, and said with a cold expression: "Since I agreed, I won't be unable to do it!" ”

Originally, Shen Bai fainted after he said that, but in the dream, Shen Bai clearly saw Gu Hengzhou untie her clothes.

Beneath the serious ink-colored court dress was a petite and thin woman's body.

She had already drunk the secret medicine of Kwai water, but her underdeveloped chest was also very different from that of a man, not to mention that she had been wrapped in a chest cloth just to be on the safe side.

The knife spread down from his left shoulder, and the chest cloth was cut off somewhat.

Even if it was from the perspective of a bystander now, Shen Bai's heart subconsciously raised his throat, but Gu Hengzhou's expression was not the slightest surprise after seeing the chest cloth, as if he had already known that she was trying her best to hide some shocking secrets in such a way.

The imperial doctor didn't arrive so quickly, Gu Hengzhou helped her take off her court clothes, untied the chest cloth on her body, and brought hot water, he didn't let anyone enter the door, only let people send things to the door, and personally helped her clean the wound and put hemostatic medicine on it.

When Gu Hengzhou did all this, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, but his eyes would deliberately avoid looking at her body.

Shen Bai saw it very clearly in his dream, and there was only one big question in his mind: Could Brother Gu have already seen through her daughter's body in his last life?

Shen Bai was immersed in a dream, and he didn't know what year it was, but Lujian and Chabai were waiting extremely uneasily at home.

Until the time passed, Shen Bai and Li Shan did not come back.

The rain outside has not stopped, the food on the table has been heated twice, Cha Bai finally couldn't sit still, and said to Lu Jian: "I have to go to the Guogong Mansion to see, if the young master comes back, you will serve the young master to bathe and eat first." ”

The Guogong Mansion is not something that ordinary people can go to, and Green Jian pulled Cha Bai worriedly: "Sister, why don't you wait a little longer, didn't the young master come back late last time he accompanied the high priest on the cruise?" ”

Cha Bai twisted his eyebrows, today's situation is different from before, Shen Bai told her about Kwai Shui, it stands to reason that it will come in the next few days, Shen Bai's palace is very cold, and it is impossible to stay outside, which will increase the risk of exposing his identity.

Cha Bai was still not at ease, and said to Lu Jian: "I'm a little uneasy, go out to meet the young master." ”

After Cha Bai finished speaking, he went out with an umbrella, and when he walked through the corridor and was about to reach the front hall, he happened to meet Shen Ruxiu, and Cha Bai hurriedly saluted: "Master." ”

Shen Ruxiu had just come out of the Sun family's courtyard, and when he saw that Chabai seemed to be going out, his eyebrows twisted slightly: "It's enough curfew, where are you going to go so late?" ”

Cha Bai hesitated for a moment, and finally said truthfully: "The young master went out with Li Shan to the Guogong Mansion early this morning, she brought a needle bag, and the slave maid heard that she seemed to be going to give the Guogong Master acupuncture treatment, but she hasn't come back yet, the slave and maid are worried that something will happen and wants to go to meet her." ”

Shen Ruxiu's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Why didn't he know when this rebel gave up writing to practice medicine, and Lord Guogong was something she could prick with a needle casually?

Thinking that Shen Bai had slighted Gu Hengzhou in Tai Academy before, Shen Ruxiu suddenly felt bad, and said to Cha Bai in a deep voice: "Guogong Mansion is not a place you can go, you are good to stay in Shuyun Garden, don't walk around!" ”

Cha Bai hesitated: "Then the young master ...... her"

Shen Ruxiu said: "I'll go to the Guogong Mansion immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Chabai returned to Shuyun Garden, and Shen Ruxiu went directly to the Guogong Mansion by carriage.

At this hour, the people in the Guogong Mansion had already fallen asleep, Shen Ruxiu knocked on the door and waited for a while before the porter yawned with a lantern to open the door, and when he saw that it was him, he was immediately shocked: "Master Taifu, why are you here so late?" ”

Shen Ruxiu said apologetically: "I have something to do and want to find Zhen Guogong, and I am tired of spreading it." ”

The porter hurriedly welcomed Shen Ruxiu into the front hall, and the subordinates who were keeping vigil re-lit the lamp and quickly brought hot tea.

The more Shen Ruxiu sat down, the more flustered he became, and he drank two sips of tea to suppress his uneasiness, and after a quarter of an hour, Gu Tingge came over with his clothes dressed, followed by a Gu Hengzhou.

There are only two fathers and sons living in the east courtyard, and they will naturally know what is going on soon.

Seeing the two of them, Shen Ruxiu immediately stood up and saluted Gu Tingge politely: "Xia Guan has seen Zhenguo Gong, I'm really sorry for the trouble late at night." ”

Since ancient times, Gu Tingge and Shen Ruxiu have no friendship, but they still appreciate Shen Ruxiu's personality, and both of them are old ministers in the court, Gu Tingge has a very kind attitude when facing Shen Ruxiu, and asked gently: "It's okay, Taifu came in the rain, but what important things do you want to discuss with me?" ”

Shen Ruxiu shook his head, glanced at Gu Hengzhou past Gu Tingge, and said: "The lower official just heard that the people in the house said that the dog Shen Bai did not know the height of the sky, and he tried in vain to show off the art of Qi Huang in front of the Lord Guogong, and his wife died early, and the discipline of the dog was not enough. ”

At this hour, make a special trip to apologize?

Gu Tingge was a little surprised, and smiled gently: "It's not offended, Young Master Shen's acupuncture method is not nonsense, it should have been instructed by some master, and I did feel a lot more relaxed after being acupunctured by him today." ”

It really works?

This time it was Shen Ruxiu's turn to be surprised, but now was not the time to find out who Shen Bai had learned acupuncture with, Shen Ruxiu asked eagerly: "Is that dog in the house now?" ”

When the words fell, Gu Hengzhou spoke: "She didn't go home?" ”

Does this mean that people are not in the state government?

Shen Ruxiu's temples jumped twice, shook his head, and said, "She hasn't come back today, and she hasn't sent a letter saying where she is going." ”

Because of his identity, Shen Bai would never spend the night outside before, and since he underestimated Gu Hengzhou, although his behavior has become more and more deviant, if he doesn't go home, he will let people send a letter to his family, and he won't suddenly disappear for no reason.

In recent months, Shen Bai has had a lot of troubles, and the worries in Shen Ruxiu's heart have become more and more serious, Gu Hengxiu summoned Gu Si and asked in a deep voice: "This morning, you said that Young Master Shen's little maid had something to look for her, do you know what happened?" ”

Gu Si thought carefully for a while and said: "The subordinate was not outside at the time, but I heard the porter say that it seemed that someone from the palace said a few words to the little guy, and the little guy came in to find Young Master Shen, and after Young Master Shen left in the carriage, he went in the direction of the palace."

Shen Ruxiu blurted out: "She was summoned to the palace?" ”

Shen Ruxiu's tone was quite anxious, and he lost his usual calmness.

Gu Tingge comforted warmly: "Since he has entered the palace, he should have been staying in the palace, he is a Tanhualang who has passed the test of the palace in the palace, and he will be fine." ”

Shen Ruxiu pursed his lips and said nothing, if Emperor Hengde summons people, the general palace people will go to the Taifu Mansion to summon them first, no matter whether Shen Bai is there or not, they have to inform him that he is a father, why did he go directly to the Guogong Mansion to summon people today?

Shen Ruxiu's face was solemn, but at this moment, the palace gate had already fallen to the key, and no one could break into the palace at night without a hundred thousand urgent matters.

Gu Hengzhou naturally knew this, and said to Gu Si: "Go and ask the concierge, who in the palace called Young Master Shen away." ”

Gu Si took the order to leave, came back quickly, and said to the three of them: "The porter glanced at it from a distance at that time, and only saw that person was wearing a eunuch uniform, and he didn't know that person, and he didn't hear what that person said specifically to Young Master Shen's little servant.

That is, except for knowing that Shen Bai was summoned to the palace, there was no other valuable news at all.

Shen Ruxiu was a little disappointed, but he still said to Gu Tingge and Gu Hengzhou gratefully: "I am relieved to know that the dog is in the palace, I am really embarrassed to disturb the Lord Guogong and His Royal Highness the Prince, and in two days, the official will definitely bring the dog to the door to thank you." ”

Gu Tingge said: "It's just a trivial matter, Taifu doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Shen Ruxiu had no intention of being polite, and quickly said goodbye and left.

Gu Tingge touched his chin and was a little curious: "The child of the Shen family is just a small Tanhualang, why did someone in the palace specially summon him and let him stay in the palace?" ”

There are many rules for outsiders to stay in the palace, that is, Concubine De, the head of the four concubines, cannot stay casually when she invites her brothers and sisters to enter the palace

Gu Hengzhou's eyebrows tightened, his intuition was not simple, but at this hour, no one could enter the palace to investigate the situation.

Only wait for the dawn......

It rained for a day and a night, and finally cleared up the next morning.

Gu Hengzhou didn't sleep much all night, and rode to the palace just after dawn.

Before the morning court, the palace gate had not yet opened, Gu Hengzhou reined in his horse and waited in place for a while, the carriage of Taifu's mansion came with a bang, Shen Ruxiu got out of the car in court clothes, his eyes were bloodshot, his expression was very haggard, and he knew at a glance that he didn't sleep much last night.

Shen Ruxiu didn't expect to meet Gu Hengzhou at the gate of the palace at this time, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't Your Majesty give His Royal Highness the Prince a ten-day leave?" What is His Royal Highness the Prince doing in the palace so early? ”

Gu Hengzhou said lightly: "I have something to find His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Shen Ruxiu nodded, and said absentmindedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince are the pillars of Zhaoling in the future, and it is good for you to communicate more." ”

The worry on Shen Ruxiu's face was too obvious, Gu Hengzhou thought of Shen Bai's daughter, and asked quietly: "Shen Bai has always been smart, she is the only one who bullies others in Tai Academy, she was just called into the palace to stay overnight yesterday, why is Taifu so worried?" ”

Shen Ruxiu is not the kind of person who will be easily tricked, and immediately sighed helplessly: "This rebel has a perverse temperament, and he will get into trouble every day in Tai Academy, and the palace is full of nobles, and I am also afraid that she will have no sense of proportion and cause some monstrous disaster." ”

Shen Ruxiu's explanation was not an exaggeration, and Gu Hengzhou did not speak again.

The two waited for a cup of tea at the gate of the palace together, the palace gate finally opened, and the Praetorian Guards checked the waist card, and the two entered the palace together, and when they were about to reach the council hall, Gu Hengzhou and Shen Ruxiu separated, walked in the direction of Yichen Palace, and met Zhao Che halfway through.

Zhao Che was wearing an apricot-yellow embroidered four-clawed golden dragon prince suit, energetically preparing to go to the court, when he saw Gu Hengzhou, surprise flashed in his eyes: "Isn't Xingyuan on vacation?" How did you get into the palace? ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't make a high-sounding excuse, and asked straight to the point: "Yesterday, Shen Bai was summoned to stay in the palace, does His Highness know about this?" ”

Zhao Che nodded: "It was the palace that summoned him into the palace." ”

Gu Hengzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously feeling that Zhao Che would not hurt Shen Bai, but the next moment he heard Zhao Che say: "But this palace quickly let him out of the palace, and never let him stay in the palace." ”
