Zhao Che's voice was very low and his expression was serious, Shen Bai buried his head on the pillow and whispered, "I don't know." ”

Her eyes were watery and clear, as if the slightest impurity would be immediately noticed.

Zhao Che was also a little shaken, but he didn't show it, and continued: "Imperial Doctor Zhang said that you were choked by smoke, and there was no sign of ecstasy, you are lying. ”

Zhao Che's tone was firm, as if he already knew all the truth, Shen Bai's shoulders shrunk, raised his head, and looked at him timidly, she was a little panicked, and she was at a loss, as if she had made a big mistake and didn't know what to do.

Zhao Che was stabbed in the heart, and with an answer, he raised his hand and rubbed her head, saying, "In front of me, you will never have to tell lies." ”

He was accustomed to using himself in front of her, not Hongu.

Shen Bai rubbed his palm with his head, and said in a dumb voice: "They are bad people, they tried to frame me first, and I resisted." ”

This is a disguised admission that she killed the person.

She was still so young and looked so weak, how could she kill two people?

Zhao Che suppressed surprise and asked Shen Bai what happened, after she entered the Chenshu Palace, she went to the queen's bedroom for the first time, but she didn't go in, through the crack in the door, she saw a pair of feet hiding behind the door, and realized that the two palace people were waiting for her here, she instinctively felt that it was not good, and turned her head and ran.

The two people quickly caught up and grabbed her, she tried to struggle, one of them covered her mouth and nose, her breathing was blocked, Shen Bai was very scared, but she learned a lot of crooked ways from the group of little beggars on the street, and quickly gave up struggling and pretended to be dead.

The two people found that she was not moving, and thought that she was suffocated, and both of them were a little panicked, and when they prevaricated, they told the matter.

It turned out that Zhao Choubai heard that Zhao Che had sent the empress relics to Concubine De, and decided that Zhao Che was humiliating Concubine De in this way, so he let these two people secretly go to Chenshu Palace to set fire while there were not many people in Chenshu Palace during the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

Before Shen Bai made Zhao Chou ugly on the Winter Laurel Festival, Zhao Chou always held a grudge and asked the palace people to lead Shen Bai to Chenshu Palace, making the illusion that Shen Bai accidentally lit a fire in Chenshu Palace.

This kills two birds with one stone, which not only adds blockage to Zhao Che, but also teaches Shen Bai a good lesson.

Zhao Chou planned well, but he missed Shen Bai's reaction.

Shen Bai listened to the whole plan, and she hated Zhao Chou so much that she scolded Zhao Chou for being bloody, she took advantage of the two palace people not paying attention, "cheated the corpse" and ran away, and the two soon found out, realized that the matter was exposed, and had murderous intentions towards Shen Bai.

Shen Bai is small in size and flexible, in the process of dodging, he accidentally killed one person, and the other person was too frightened to approach, ready to call someone, Shen Bai knew that something was wrong, and rushed over and killed that person too.

The blood was splashed, Shen Bai had never even killed a chicken before, and he was scared stupid after calming down, but Chen Shugong was dead silent, and no one could comfort her and give her ideas what to do.

The night breeze blew, Shen Bai shuddered, remembered the words he had read before, and turned out the fire fold from the two palace people and set it on fire in the queen's bedroom.

She was very scared at that time, but in fact, she had the idea of dying together, she killed two people, and it would be good to pay for the lives of those two people, and she lay on the bed where the queen slept before her death, and maybe she would be able to see the queen after death.

After Shen Bai finished speaking, his body couldn't help trembling, and he remembered the death of those two people.

Zhao Che knew that she was frightened, grabbed her hand, and said firmly: "You didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to be afraid, it's they who want to hurt you first, if you don't resist, the one who dies will be you." ”

"I know, I can't do anything, I still have to study hard and be a big official." Shen Bai said sullenly, and did not alleviate his guilt because of Zhao Che's words.

Zhao Che felt that her nasal voice was a little heavy, probed her forehead, and found that the tentacles were hot, and she had a fever.

Zhao Che was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly called Imperial Doctor Zhang to come.

Shen Bai's wound was a little infected, and it burned for three days, and all the palace people in Yichen Palace were waiting tremblingly, for fear that something would happen to her.

And in the past three days, the palace was not at peace, and the news of Concubine Shu's pregnancy spread, but she was not in good health, and she ate cold food, and she kept seeing blood intermittently, and drinking a lot of tocolytic drugs did not work.

By the third day, the child still hadn't been saved.

The child came unexpectedly and left unexpectedly, Concubine Shu suffered a sin, and her vitality was damaged, and she lay in her palace with a pale face to raise her body.

Emperor Hengde went to see Concubine Shu and rewarded her with a lot of supplements for her to take good care of herself.

Concubine De was also shocked by Concubine Shu's pregnancy, knowing that Concubine Shu had a miscarriage, she made the decision to exempt Concubine Shu from giving the Queen Mother a morning and dusk province, and also took a lot of tonic medicine from the treasury of Zhuangxian Palace.

Rao is like this, and rumors are still inevitable to spread.

The concubines in the palace pay great attention to the maintenance of their bodies, and they will ask the doctor of the hospital to diagnose the pulse every ten days and a half months.

Emperor Hengde called all the people from the Tai Hospital to question, and the two people who were responsible for recuperating Concubine Shu knelt down and shouted that they were wronged, they really didn't diagnose Ximai before, and they didn't know what was going on.

The child was not saved, and it is useless to say anything now.

Emperor Hengde directly handed over the two to Dali Temple, and the Tai Hospital was ordered to be rectified, and those with poor medical skills took the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian.

The Tai Hospital was rectified, and the people in the Shufei Palace were also replaced, and after doing this, Emperor Hengde went to Zhuangxian Palace.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Concubine De never wore that luxurious dress again, the clothes were washed and hung neatly in the dormitory, and the six-tailed phoenix sent by Zhao Che was placed next to it, and Concubine De only felt extremely ironic.

When Emperor Hengde arrived at Zhuangxian Palace, he saw such a scene, Concubine De looked at the clothes stupidly, as if looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

The palace people waiting outside the hall figured it out, Emperor Hengde raised his hand to stop it, the palace people retreated with the sight, Emperor Hengde walked behind Concubine De and asked softly: "Why are you in a daze?" ”

Concubine De was awakened, turned around, and looked lonely, but after seeing Emperor Hengde, she became happy again, and hurriedly wanted to salute, Emperor Hengde stretched out his hand to help her, and said: "There are no outsiders here, and Concubine Ai doesn't need to be polite." ”

Emperor Hengde's tone was very gentle, as if they were no different from ordinary couples in the world, but if she didn't ascend to the throne for a day, Concubine De couldn't change the fact that she was a concubine.

Looking up again, Concubine De's eyes turned red again, and she forcibly asked Emperor Hengde with grievances: "Sister Shufei has not been good for the past two days, Your Majesty has worked hard enough to appease her, why do you still have time to come to Zhuangxian Palace?" ”

"You've worked hard these days, come and take a look." Emperor Hengde said, seeing that Concubine De liked the tight clothes, and said, "This dress is very beautiful, why don't you wear it if you like it?" ”

Concubine De was even more aggrieved now, the corners of her eyes were full of tears, she wiped it with a handkerchief, and said, "The concubine is not worthy, and she can't break the rules." ”

After the decree was not issued, she was always a concubine, isn't it a joke to wear this dress.

Emperor Hengde sighed and said, "I've wronged you." ”

Although he felt guilty, he didn't say a word about what happened after the seal.

Concubine De guessed that this time there was probably no hope again, she was angry in her heart, full of resentment, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, and said generously and softly: "The concubine is not wronged, the concubine's sister is finally pregnant, it was a happy event, but now it is like this, it is also the negligence of the concubine, it is the concubine who did not manage the harem well, and caused trouble to His Majesty, if it is, if it is ...... If my sister had been here, there would be no today. ”

Concubine De choked up as she spoke, bowing her head to wipe away her tears.

She is seven or eight years younger than Emperor Hengde, and she is well maintained, and now she is still crying with pear blossoms and rain, and she is pitiful.

She was afraid that others would compare her with the queen, so she mentioned this stubble first, so as to appear self-aware and lovable, but Emperor Hengde couldn't help but think of the queen's goodness.

His queen is dignified and virtuous, unfazed, always calm and calm, her eyes are always bright and firm, she rarely cries in front of him, even if she cries, she will stop quickly, and all her fragility and sadness are well disguised, which no one can learn.

Emperor Hengde sighed and said, "The queen's bedroom has almost been burned, she is gone, and even the things she used in her life are gone. ”163

Emperor Hengde's tone was very regretful, how much he liked the queen, everyone in the palace knew it, otherwise it would not have caused the queen to die early.

Concubine De was very jealous in her heart, but she quickly stopped crying on her face and comforted Emperor Hengde: "My sister is guarding Your Majesty and Zhaoling in the sky, if you see Your Majesty like this, my sister will definitely be sad." ”

Emperor Hengde nodded, suppressed his emotions and said: "After the fire in Chenshu Palace was extinguished, two charred corpses were found inside, and after investigation, it can be determined that they are newcomers who have just entered the palace this year, and they are working in the Si Ye Bureau, so it stands to reason that they should not appear there." ”

Concubine De had already sent someone to find out about the news, but she still pretended to hear it for the first time, her eyes widened in shock, and she said in surprise: "Is it someone who deliberately set the fire?" ”

"It's true that someone is behind it." Emperor Hengde said firmly, "But these two people have no relatives and friends in the palace, and Dali Temple has investigated many times, but they still can't find any clues about the people behind them." ”

Concubine De didn't know that Zhao Chou was making trouble behind her back, she unconsciously glanced at the six-tailed phoenix hairpin, and said tentatively: "The concubine is close to her sister, and after her sister died of illness, the concubine is also very sad, if the concubine knows who dares to set fire to her sister's relics, she must have tied that person with a thousand knives." ”

People are already dead, and they still want to move other people's relics, which is really vicious.

Emperor Hengde let out a deep "um", and Concubine De continued: "Ordinary people will not get any benefit from burning my sister's relics except for causing death. ”

On the surface, Concubine De not only did not benefit from this matter, but was once again ruined of the opportunity to ascend to the back seat, and it is unlikely that she would do such a thing.

Thinking about it carefully along this line of thought, it is Zhao Che who benefits the most, because he is the only one who will not want Concubine De to ascend to the back seat.

Emperor Hengde glanced at Concubine De coldly and said: "Knowing that Chenshu Palace was on fire, Rui Xuan and I rushed over together, the fire was already very big at that time, but Rui Xuan didn't care about his safety and wanted to rush in to rescue the queen's relics, who does Concubine Ai think has benefited from it?" ”

Zhao Che was going to rush in for Shen Bai at that time, but outsiders didn't know why, they only thought that he was thinking about the queen's relics, so he was so out of shape.

Emperor Hengde said it, making it clear that he believed that Zhao Che had nothing to do with this matter, and Concubine De felt threatened, so she quickly changed her words and said: "The concubine is ignorant and said the wrong thing, please forgive your majesty." ”

Concubine De lowered her head and obediently admitted her mistakes, but Emperor Hengde did not stop there, and continued: "According to what Concubine Ai said, the beneficiary of a thing may be the person behind the scenes. ”

This is directly aimed at Concubine De.

Concubine De's face turned pale, knelt in front of Emperor Hengde, and said eagerly: "The concubine is sincere to Your Majesty, and will never dare to do anything harmful to the emperor's heir. ”

Concubine De swore a poisonous oath, tears fell down her eyes, Emperor Hengde looked at her, and said, "I am not suspicious of Concubine Ai, but I just reasoned about another thing according to Concubine Ai's logic." ”

Concubine De knew that Emperor Hengde was beating herself, and hurriedly said: "The concubine knows her mistakes, the concubine should not maliciously speculate on these things with such thoughts, Your Majesty is wise, and the adults of Dali Temple also have many years of experience in handling cases, they will definitely restore the truth of the matter, and the concubine should not speak casually." ”

Concubine De admitted her mistake, and Emperor Hengde didn't hold on to it, helped Concubine De up, comforted her a few words, and made it clear that she would not be named the queen for the time being, and the management of the harem was not as simple as imagined, and Concubine De still needed more experience.

Concubine De guessed that Emperor Hengde would not make herself the queen for the time being, but she didn't expect to be beaten like this, she was a little sad, even if she heard that Emperor Hengde was willing to stay and eat, she couldn't be happy.

The burning of Chenshu Palace and the miscarriage of Concubine Shu were finally resolved, these two things were widely implicated, and under careful investigation, I was afraid that more things would be involved, the Tai Hospital disposed of two imperial doctors, and the palace disposed of a few palace people, Concubine Shu, Concubine De and the Shen family all received a lot of rewards to show appeasement, and this turmoil was over.

Shen Bai recuperated in Yichen Palace for more than half a month before the wound scabbed.

In the spring, Tai Academy started, Shen Bai was sent back to Taifu Mansion to recuperate from his injuries, and he went to Tai Academy with his injuries in two days.

The master deliberately emphasized that she was injured and could not be bumped into it, and that the people who usually did not deal with her did not cause trouble.

Shen Bai's temperament is much calmer than before, because he can't move, he is more serious in class, and he will ask Gu Hengzhou for advice if he doesn't understand anything after class.

Xiang'an had nothing to do until midsummer, Shen Baiwen got a good ranking of fifth, she didn't make much trouble this semester, and the masters all changed their views of her and thought that she was teachable.

At the end of the test, Shen Bai walked out of the Tai Academy triumphantly, she was not in a hurry to go home, and swaggered into the Drunken Immortal Building.

Before the test, she made a bet with Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin that if she could enter the top five, she would invite the other party to eat delicious food in Zuixian Building.

When the bet was made, the three of them all gave bets, and as soon as the results came out, Shen Bai used the bet to ask for a private room in Zuixianlou, and he was not afraid that the two of them would not be able to come, so he asked for a table of signature dishes very happily after sitting down.

After a while, Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin entered the house, and when they saw Shen Bai holding Erlang's legs and looking like a villain, he was angry, Zhou Jue couldn't help but maliciously said: "You kid must have stolen the question, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the top five." ”

Shen Bai was straightforward, not afraid at all, raised his eyebrows and said: "The results are judged by the master, if you don't accept it, go to the master, tell me so much what to do?" ”

Zhou Jue choked and almost beat her with his fists, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Gu Hengzhou walked in.

Zhou Jue asked in surprise as if he had seen a ghost: "Brother Gu, why are you here?" ”

When the words fell, Shen Bai rushed to Gu Hengzhou with doglegs, led Gu Hengzhou inside, and said: "Brother Gu, don't pay attention to him, he has little head and can't speak, I sincerely invite you to dinner today." ”

Shen Bai led Gu Hengzhou to the main seat and sat down, Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin were very afraid of Gu Hengzhou, and as soon as Gu Hengzhou sat here, the two of them didn't dare to say much.

Xiao Er served the food quickly, and the dishes in the Drunken Immortal Building were all colorful, flavorful, and flavorful, but the more dishes were served, the worse Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin's faces became.

They don't have a small treasury like Shen Bai, their pockets have always been tight, and the dishes in the Drunken Immortal Building are expensive, so Shen Bai is going to empty their pockets this time.

Shen Bai wanted this effect, he didn't look at the faces of the two of them at all, he was close to Gu Hengzhou, Gu Hengzhou didn't talk much, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The dishes were served after a while, Shen Bai was just about to move the chopsticks, the door of the private room was knocked again, Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin immediately glared at Shen Bai, Shen Bai shrugged innocently, and said, "This time it's not the person I invited." ”

Both of them didn't believe Shen Bai's nonsense, opened the door, and unexpectedly saw Zhao Che standing outside.

The four of them got up and saluted at the same time, and Zhao Che bowed his head and said, "No need to be polite, this palace also saw you here by chance, didn't bother you, right?" ”

"Don't bother, don't bother." Zhou Jue hurriedly replied, gave Wu Shouxin a look, the two got out of the way, and Zhao Che walked to Gu Hengzhou and sat down.

Zhao Che glanced at the sumptuous meal on the table, looked at Zhou Jue suspiciously, and asked, "Someone has a birthday today?" ”

"It's not." Zhou Jue shook his head and said hypocritically, "It was Shen Bai who won the fifth place in the literary test this time, we think she is very powerful, so we will celebrate her." ”

Shen Bai also cooperated with the acting, saying: "Brother Zhou Jue and Brother Wu Shouxin think that I am talented and smart, and they must make friends with me, and it is not good to refrain from inviting me kindly, so they came." ”

Bah!

Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin retorted in their hearts, but they had to smile and nod in agreement with Shen Bai's words.

Zhao Che knew what was going on at a glance, and did not pierce it, took out a piece of purple jade with exquisite workmanship and handed it to Shen Bai, saying: "This palace also thinks that Young Master Shen is talented, and he didn't bring anything today, so he will give you this piece of purple jade, which can be regarded as a gesture of gratitude." ”

The purple jade was worth a lot of money at a glance, Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin were all accidents, but Shen Bai and Zhao Che were very familiar with each other, and they didn't know how to be polite, so they directly reached out and took the purple jade, and said happily: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie will reward." After speaking, he looked at Gu Hengzhou with earnest eyes, wanting to take advantage of the situation to get some benefits from Gu Hengzhou.

Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin were both stunned by Shen Bai's cheekiness and secretly scolded her for being a shameless villain, but Gu Hengzhou took out a wooden box with exquisite workmanship and gave it to Shen Bai under the angry gaze of the two.

Shen Bai couldn't wait to open it, and inside was the best pine smoke ink.

Shen Bai often saw these things in Shen Ruxiu's study, and he didn't feel precious, and said a little disappointed: "It's this." ”

Gu Hengzhou frowned slightly and asked, "Don't like it?" ”

Compared to the valuable purple jade, this is certainly not very pleasing.

Shen Bai slandered, but said: "No, I like it very much, thank you, Brother Gu!" After speaking, he hugged Gu Hengzhou, and Zhao Che's hand hanging on his knee unconsciously clenched into a fist.
