CHAPTER XXXVII

The Royal Palace that night

Shangguan Zhifei just wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest, when he heard Gao Yao coming in quickly.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Zhifei asked strangely.

"Holy Lord, Lord Qin Qingfeng Qin asks to see you."

"So late. Let him in. Shangguan Zhifei sat back in his seat. This Qin Qingfeng is one of the organizers of this martial arts test, and there are many organizers of the martial arts test, each of whom has his own duties. And Qin Qingfeng managed to let the players draw lots and rank the competition.

"Holy I am guilty." Qin Qingfeng knelt down as soon as he came in.

Shangguan Zhifei looked at Shangguan Hansu who followed in.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Zhifei frowned.

"Guilty of lowly duty." Qin Qingfeng knelt on the ground and trembled.

"What's going on?" Shangguan Zhifei asked Shangguan Hansu.

Shangguan Han bowed solemnly and saluted, "Father." Today, I just wanted to go back to the palace, but on the way, I met Lord Qin and was assassinated, and at the last moment, I saved Lord Qin. Thinking about it, it is safer to come to my father immediately. ”

Shangguan Zhifei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous aura spread on his body.

Qin Qingfeng was sweating all the time. "The lowly official received a letter and a thousand taels of gold before the martial arts examination. The letter said that as long as you do what the letter says, there will be a thousand taels afterwards. After speaking, Qin Qingfeng secretly looked up at Shangguan Zhifei.

Shangguan Zhifei smiled, one thousand taels, and gold, people are so rich now.

Qin Qingfeng looked at Shangguan Zhifei smiling there, and the beads of sweat on his body fell even more.

"You said you received a letter? Where's the heart?" Shangguan Zhifei asked. It is estimated that now the Qin Mansion is ruined, in order to destroy the letter.

Unexpectedly, Qin Qingfeng trembled and took out a letter from his arms.

Shangguan Zhifei laughed again, this waste still knows how to carry this thing with him.

Gao Yao stepped forward and picked up the letter and handed it to Shangguan Zhifei.

Shangguan Zhifei opened it and saw that the envelopes and stationery were the most common kinds, and they could be bought in any store. As for ink, it's also ordinary ink. The handwriting is too deliberate, and it looks like it is written like this on purpose. What's the use of such a letter.

"What else are you hiding from me?" Shangguan Zhifei said slowly.

"No, no." Qin Qingfeng listened to Shangguan Zhifei's voice very flat, thinking that maybe he could spare his life.

"Someone. Pull down and put it in Dali Temple. Shangguan Zhifei nodded and said with a smile.

Qin Qingfeng collapsed on the ground after hearing this, Dali Temple? If you go in, you can get out. "Holy Lord, spare my life, Holy Lord." Qin Qingfeng was dragged down by the guards and was still shouting there.

spared his life, Nian'er's little girl almost died of anger because Shen Qing was assassinated, and she was almost distressed to death, and spared his life, just kidding.

Shangguan Hansu didn't expect Shangguan Zhifei to deal with Qin Qingfeng so neatly. He also thought that Shangguan Zhifei would take away Qin Qingfeng's official position.

Shangguan Zhifei looked at Shangguan Hansu, "Su'er has merit, reward." It's too late today. Let's go back first. ”

Shangguan Hansu saluted, "Father, the minister left first." You rest early. Then he left.

Shangguan Zhifei sat there and watched Shangguan Hansu leave.

"Holy." Gao Yao said next to him.

Shangguan Zhifei waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to say more.

Today's events are too coincidental, and it doesn't matter whose hand it is. It's just "what's going on?" Shangguan Zhifei took a plate of pastries far away from Shen Nian and let Shen Nian taste it. A smile on his face. There is no domineering spirit that kills and kills in the court every day.

"I heard that Lord Qin was assassinated and came to you. Let me hear about it. Shen Nian looked up at Shangguan Zhifei, and the bulging bag in his mouth was super cute.

Shangguan Zhifei's heart was about to melt when he saw this, if only this child had been by his side since he was a child, the child when he was a child was the most cute.

"Daddy." Shen Nian shook Shangguan Zhifei with his hand.

Both of them defaulted to Shen Nian's call to Shangguan Zhifei, "Daddy." Shen Nian didn't want to be called "Father", he always felt that the word "Father" was estranged.

Shangguan Zhifei smiled and said what happened just now, but in the process of speaking, Shangguan Zhifei found that Shen Nian's expression had changed.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Nian stood up, leaned over and sniffed Shangguan Zhifei's body, and then immediately checked Shangguan Zhifei's pulse.

Shangguan Zhifei looked at Shen Nian with a serious face, and he was also very cooperative.

Shen Nian quickly took out a pill from his purse and gave it to Shangguan Zhifei to eat. Then he asked with a straight face, "Daddy, what did you just touch?"

Shangguan Zhifei thought about it, got up and picked up Qin Qingfeng's "letter" on the table just now.

Shen Nian took it, and Shangguan Zhifei just wanted to say don't take it, there might be a problem. I saw that this little girl was already smelling.

"Daddy, this letter is poisonous. But it doesn't usually show up, but it's not very good for the body, and once it touches the 'fish', it dies immediately. Shen Nian's eyes widened instantly, "Daddy, someone wants to kill Qin Qingfeng." ”

Shangguan Zhifei also reacted and immediately went down to order.

In the prison at this time.

Qin Qingfeng sat in a corner of the prison in a daze. At this time, footsteps sounded outside, and a jailer-like man came in and put down the food, "Eat." ”

Qin Qingfeng frowned, "What are you going to eat now?" Qin Qingfeng also had doubts in his heart.

"My lord, I have received your favor in the past, but this time I came after avoiding the top, and I heard that you will be disposed of tomorrow, and this is the last meal. My lord. ”

Qin Qingfeng did come over without eating at night. I'm hungry now.

Qin Qingfeng looked at the lunch box and opened it, and there was a plate of fish inside. Qin Qingfeng was also hungry, but he still had some doubts in his heart, so he took out the silver needle from his arms and tried it, it was not poisonous.

Qin Qingfeng picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

When Qin Qingfeng looked up at the person who came and wanted to say something, he saw the other party's weird smile.

Qin Qingfeng's eyes widened, no, this person is here to kill himself. But it's not poisonous.

Suddenly, Qin Qingfeng felt as if his internal organs were being burned, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spit out, and his eyes wide open to the ground. The jailer reached out and touched Qin Qingfeng's snort, smiled slightly, and left.

After a while, the guards ordered by Guan Zhifei came back to pay their respects, and Qin Qingfeng died. The cause of death could not be seen, and it was not possible to find out that it was poisoning. The lunch box is still there, they are the most ordinary lunch boxes, and the things inside are not poisonous.

Shangguan Zhifei waved away the guards, and Shen Nian walked out from behind the screen.

She also heard what the guard said just now, but she was still a step too late.

Shen Nian found a place to sit down. Hold it in a daze with your hands. "Since this Qin Qingfeng has already handed over the letter to his father, Qin Qingfeng has come to see his father, why did the mastermind behind the scenes still kill him, he is worthless. I won't say anything more anyway. ”

Shangguan Zhifei didn't speak, these things will be handled by these men, this little girl. Shangguan Zhifei shook his head and touched Shen Nian's head, "Don't think about it." We'll take care of that. ”

Shen Nian looked up at Shangguan Zhifei, who was leaning over to look at him, his frowning brows suddenly smoothed, and he smiled, "Yes." Daddy is the emperor. ”

Shen Nian's proud appearance made Shangguan Zhifei also feel that it was a great thing that he was the emperor.

"Oops. I have to go back. It's so late. Shen Nian said suddenly.

"Oh. Okay. You wait. Shangguan Zhifei took out a long box from a compartment in the bedroom inside.

"Give me a thought." Shangguan Zhifei found that he especially liked to call Shen Nian Nian. It's like Shen Nian is a child, and he calls her like this.

Shen Nian took the box and opened it, and saw that it was a jade flute, the whole body was transparent and bright, and there was a red spike, and he felt a coldness when he held it, a feeling of clarity on the spiritual platform.

"Is this 'Love'?" Shen Nian looked at Shangguan Zhifei and said.

It is said that a master luthier forged it to commemorate the deep love between himself and his wife, and it is one of the top ten musical instruments in the world.

Shangguan Zhifei nodded, he found that Shen Nian always carried a flute with him as a self-defense weapon.

Shangguan Zhifei found this jade flute and transformed it.

Shen Nian touched the flute and looked left and right, and suddenly she grabbed the jade flute with both hands, and pulled it back at the same time, it was actually a sword in the flute, only to see that this sword could see the shadow, but could not see the entity, and opened a section of the flute, as if holding a short hilt but no sword. This is the famous sword in the top ten sword books, the Chengying Sword.

"Daddy, thank you." Shen Nian was very happy.

Shangguan Zhifei looked at Shen Nian's happy appearance and smiled. If she had given her something when she was a child, would she have happily hugged her legs and giggled.

Shen Nian is not holding Shangguan Zhifei's leg now, but holding Shangguan Zhifei, and he is very happy.

Shangguan Zhifei touched Shen Nian's head, "It's good if you like it." "No matter how good things are, they can make their babies happy, they are good things.

"Then I'm leaving." Shen Nian happily got up and left.

Shangguan Zhifei smiled and watched Shen Nian leave.

Back at the Shen Mansion, Shen Nian was silent and put away the appearance of the good girl in the family when he was talking to Shangguan Zhifei just now.

"Ochre."

"The valley master." Charm Ochre came in and half-knelt on the ground.

Shen Nian squinted and touched the jade flute in his hand, "Mei Qingke came back with a message." ”

"Not yet."

"Let Mei Indigo go to Qin Qingfeng's house to check, this Qin Qingfeng must have something that threatens the people behind the scenes. Otherwise, you can't risk going to the prison of Dali Temple to kill him after meeting the emperor. ”

"Yes." Charm Ochre took the order and left.

Shen Nian touched the love silk that Shangguan Zhifei had just given her in her hand. Shen Nian took down the jade flute he usually carried with him and found a box to put it away. In fact, this and the flute are also the best flutes that his master found for himself, but one is not as good as the love silk, and the other is that the love silk is still the shadow, which is very helpful to increase Shen Nian's strength. Moreover, this was sent to her by Shangguan Zhifei.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, Shen Nian changed into the clothes that Shen Qing had prepared for her to go to the banquet today. Today is the day when the emperor holds a banquet to congratulate the winners of the martial arts examination and reward them.

Shen Nian walked to the gate of the Shen Mansion, and along the way, the people looked at their "little immortals" calmly, and then looked at them twice, admiring how beautiful they were, and then continued to work.

When Shen Nian came to the gate, he saw that Shen Qing and Shen Feng were already there. According to the usual practice, Shen Xing had already gone to the palace first. This time, Mei Shang and Shenyang didn't go.

"My little sister is so beautiful today." Shen Qing said.

"That's it. I'm going to the banquet today with a champion, a tanhua, a first place in the martial arts test, and a second place in the martial arts test. Of course, it has to be pretty. ”

"You're right." Shen Qing scratched Shen Nian's nose.

Shen Nian heard the footsteps and looked back, and saw Mu Bai, oh no, it was Mu Chen and Bai Li coming. Today is a banquet, a few days ago Mu Bai said that the palace was terrible, so Shen Nian asked him to release "Mu Chen". I didn't expect it to be really Mu Chen coming out. Because it was a palace banquet today, Chu Yan couldn't go, so he left the Shen Mansion.

"Yo, the little witch is still beautiful today." Mu Chen came to Shen Nian's side with an evil smile on his face.

Shen Nian laughed twice, "I can warn you, you are Tanhualang Mubai today." Not a martial arts master. Put away your martial arts person's appearance. You should be a literati today, a humble gentleman, do you understand? ”

Mu Chen thought about it, it was true. Otherwise, if he is too out of line today, it will not be good to be asked in public, and he will not confess those things.

"Master, what is the palace like?" Bai Li asked.

"It's big, it's magnificent. When the time comes, you'll just follow behind your big brother. Find me for something. Don't solve it yourself. Bai Li has never experienced this, and she is really afraid that someone will design Bai Li.

Bai Li nodded, what Shen Nian said he had always regarded as supreme.

The five got into the carriage. After a while, we arrived at the palace. As soon as the carriage listened, Shen Nian heard a familiar voice outside.

"Nian'er."

Shen Nian smiled at the corner of his mouth and got out of the car.

Gao Lingyan really wanted to participate in these things with Shen Nian in the future, and tell everyone that Shen Nian was his own.

Gao Lingyan was waiting here early, and just saw the Shen family's carriage coming over immediately. When the curtain opened, I saw Shen Nian coming out. Today, he wears a pink dress, a blue hairpin on his head, and pink and white shoes. Today's main color of Shen Nian is pink, just like a peach blossom, and the beauty is not presentable.

Gao Lingyan stretched out his hand to help Shen Nian down.

The two of them are really a match when they stand together.

Mu Chen and the others came down. Mu Chen looked at the background where Gao Lingyan and Shen Nian were standing together, and frowned, that person knew about it. Immediately furrowed his brows, and no one saw him.

Gao Lingyan and Shen Niansi

Wait for others to walk in together.

As soon as Shen Nian entered, he saw that Chaoyang was talking to Lin Fuliu. Shen Nian walked over. Gao Lingyan understood, so he went to his place. Shen Qing and the others saw Lin Junwu and Jun Xunting, and also walked over.

"Sister Chaoyang. Sister Liu. Shen Nian walked over to say hello.

"Ah, today's thoughts are really beautiful." Lin Fuliu saw Gao Lingyan waiting for Shen Nian outside just now, and now he covered his mouth and smiled.

Shen Nian stuck out his tongue, "You'll laugh at me." ”

Chaoyang was laughing on the side. "Nian'er doesn't know yet, now this sister who laughs at you is going to get married next month."

"Really?" Shen Nian happily grabbed Lin Fuliu's arm. "Congratulations, Sister Liu."

Lin Fuliu's face turned red.

"Brother Chen must be happy to death." Shen Nian said.

Lin Fuliu smiled again when he heard it, and his face turned even redder.

After Chen Ge knew that Lin Fuliu had promised him, he was happy and stupid for a long time. That nerd. Lin Fuliu held her mouth, but her heart was warm.

"What about you? When will you and your brother Yan be fulfilled? ”

"We'll have to wait." Shen Nian shrugged and said.

"Why?"

Shen Nian didn't speak. At this time, Gao Yao shouted: "The emperor has arrived." The crowd saluted.

It's okay, Shen Nian didn't want to answer this question. Because she still has a lot of work to do. If the truth of Meigu is not found out, she will not get married.

"Flat." Shangguan Zhifei sat on the dragon chair and waved.

"Your Majesty." The crowd stood up.

Gao Yao understood and shouted, "Sit."

The crowd sat down.

The canonization conference officially began.
