After the lunch was over, the young emperor said goodbye very well-behaved, but when the little man walked outside the palace gate, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked Sihan uneasily, "Sister really didn't drive the third emperor brother and concubine out of the palace?" ”

He was still worried about this, and he didn't know how good Zheqian and Concubine Shuqian were to him, so that he cared so much.

Sihan sighed secretly and nodded at him gently.

His sharp eyes seemed to be smiling, and he was very excited, "Wei'er will go and tell the third emperor brother." ”

As soon as these words fell, he was about to turn around and trot.

Sihan's pupils shrank, and he called out loud, "Wei'er." ”

He steadied his posture and looked at Sihan in surprise.

Sihan slowed down his voice a little and said, "It's hot, you go back to the dormitory to take a rest." The third emperor brother was there, and Sister A went to say it in person. ”

He didn't have any doubts, nodded immediately, and then grinned brightly at Sihan before pulling Mama Zhou away gradually.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was silent again.

Si Hanwu sat down and was silent for a moment before he called out to the palace slave to remove the lunch from the table.

After everything was finished and all the palace slaves had retreated, Sihan called out loud, "Shan Zhongze." ”

As soon as these words fell, the door of the temple not far away was pushed open again, and the sturdy and practical Shan Zhongze walked in quickly and stood in front of Sihan.

It was probably a hot day, Shan Zhongze had been waiting outside the hall, his forehead was dyed with a layer of sweat, but his face and eyes were calm and heavy, but it gave people an inexplicable cold and resolute atmosphere for no reason.

"Eldest Princess." Immediately, he began to bend down and salute, calling respectfully.

Sihan withdrew his gaze from him slightly, and his slender fingers began to play with the tea cup in his hand at will, and said in a low voice: "Although you are the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, you are neither humble nor arrogant, and you are loyal, even if you take care of thousands of forbidden troops, you can only be orderly, and you are deeply admired by the forbidden army." ”

said, his eyes met his eyes, "You have the talent of generals, and you also know the way to train and surrender troops, so buried in the deep palace, it is difficult to show your strength, but you have grievances?" ”

He didn't seem to expect Sihan to suddenly say this, and he was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and said respectfully and resolutely: "The subordinate is born as a secret guard, and this life belongs to the Tanglin royal family." It was a blessing for his subordinates that the emperor could let his subordinates command the three armies, and the eldest princess was willing to let his subordinates follow him, which was a blessing for his subordinates. ”

After speaking, he kowtowed sincerely and seriously, "Yes, my subordinates did not feel unfair in their hearts, but they were grateful to the emperor and the eldest princess for their acquaintance." ”

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "You have the talent to look good, and your father has a good eye, so you are favored by your father with your true ability, and you are bright and bright." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sihan slowly got up, reached out to support his arm, and helped him up with a little force.

He seemed to be flattered, and his face was slightly shocked and surprised, and after getting up, he hung his head and said respectfully: "If there is no emperor, there will be no single loyalty." In any case, the subordinates are grateful to the emperor and the eldest princess. ”

Sihan looked at him quietly and said slowly: "Words of gratitude, there is no need to say more, what your temperament is, this palace knows it." Yes, I, the Yan Imperial Family, am also glad to have you, the commander of the forbidden army. ”

As he spoke, the words changed, and his tone was slightly distant, "Now, Tanglin is stormy, unstable, and the country is ruined, you should know." ”

He nodded very earnestly and heavily.

"Now the courtiers are all towards the regent, and there is no one around the palace, and they are restricted everywhere. And Tanglin has just experienced the war, the troops are not prosperous, and the commanders and generals in various places are not the henchmen of the palace, so as soon as the words of ...... arrived, Sihan stopped, and his silent eyes stared at him quietly.

He seemed to feel something, his expression was resolute and loyal, and then his thin lips opened, and he said seriously: "The situation of the country, the subordinates see it in their hearts, but if the eldest princess thinks that her subordinates can do something, please ask the eldest princess to command." ”

Sihan's silent pupils were almost imperceptible with a little relief and relief, and then forcibly pressed his heart, and said very seriously: "Now the commanders of the Kyoto school field and the heavy armies in various places are not familiar with and understood by the palace, and the military power of Tanglin is also scattered. And the meaning of this palace is that you have the ability to command, and you must be able to recognize capable generals, so you can enter the Kyoto campus, and select and evaluate those who can have the power to command, that is, those people are from the common people, and you can also recommend for the palace, if the palace also thinks it is appropriate, you will lead the palace and take those new soldiers, to serve in various places where heavy troops are stationed. ”

As he spoke, his voice was raised, "What this palace wants is that the commanders of all the heavily armed places are all the henchmen of this palace, Shan Zhongze, can you have the confidence to do it for this palace." ”

Shan Zhongze's expression changed, and his resolute face suddenly slid out a little complicated.

After a moment of silence, he nodded heavily and said respectfully: "The eldest princess's intentions, my subordinates will do their best to do it." It's just that the selection of military generals in the Tanglin dynasties has also passed the martial arts examination, and if you take the liberty of screening directly in the school field, will you refute the eldest princess? ”

Sihan's pupils shrank, and he said in a low voice: "In the martial arts exam, maybe some martial arts nerds will come out of the exam." And now, there is no time to select generals through martial arts. On the courtier's side, the palace will deal with it, and you, just need to select talents in the school field. However, don't choose a reckless man. ”

Shan Zhongze nodded respectfully, "My subordinates know." ”

Sihan's expression was distant, and he nodded slowly, "This matter is important, I hope you can rest assured." As he spoke, he took out the eldest princess token from his body and handed it to him, "It's past noon, you can go to the school field immediately to have a look, you can take this token first, if someone in the school field rushes and disobeys you, you may be able to use it." ”

He nodded very seriously, took the token solemnly, and then left.

Sihan's eyes fell quietly towards the door of the hall, her expression was extremely distant, and after a while, she came back to her senses, and then walked slowly towards the palace door, seeing several palace slaves waiting respectfully outside the hall, her pupils shrunk, and she said in a low voice: "Go to the third prince's bedroom." ”

As soon as these words fell, there was no longer any delay, Sihan walked forward, and the palace slaves hurriedly said yes and respectfully followed.

The weather is hot, just after noon, and the sun is even more abundant.

The flowers and trees around the road were also exposed to the sun, and the palace slaves who came and went everywhere were also listless, but when they saw Sihan and his party, the palace slaves were all shocked, and then they beat their spirits and saluted respectfully.

Sihan looked at them lightly and ignored them. When he entered the dormitory of the third prince, he saw him sitting by the carved window, reading a book.

Today, he is wearing a white robe, his black hair is not pulled, even though he is three years younger than her, but he has a little more leisure and elegance all over his body, like a handsome son who is not arrogant or impatient.

Once upon a time, she was often chased by the stubborn poor worm with a blue nose and swollen face, but now, it will be so calm and elegant, as if it has cleansed the turbidity of the world, clear as the wind, but unprovoked and heavy.

I have to say that the years have changed people, and they have also changed their sex.

Probably aware of the footsteps, his eyes finally lifted from the book, and when he saw Sihan clearly, his expression was not shocked, his face was not stunned, but he slowly stood up, and called out the window very calmly, "Sister Huang." ”

Such a pampered and unfazed appearance is very similar to the last time I calmly interceded with her in the court. It's just that at a young age, it is rare to be able to come out and fall so calmly, and it is not as mediocre and floating as Concubine Shu.

Si Han stared at him a few times, answered casually, and then continued to move forward, when he entered his dormitory alone, he had poured a cup of tea from the round table not far away, and said respectfully: "It's hot and hot, this is the herbal tea that has just been brewed for a short time, the imperial sister tastes it." ”

Sihan indifferently stretched out his hand to take the teacup, but he didn't drink the tea, and after sitting on the soft couch in the hall, he put the teacup in his hand towards the low table next to him, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the third emperor brother often visits the new emperor these days?" ”

She asked bluntly.

He glanced at the teacup on the low table, his face was still calm, and he nodded: "In the past few days, my brother's mother has been sick, and my brother often takes medicine for his mother and concubine out of the palace. Therefore, the courtiers visited the emperor many times, just to send things, and did not stay for too long. ”

Sihan's face was expressionless, and his expression was indifferent, "Your mother concubine is now my Dongling concubine, even if she is sick, she has her own palace doctor to take care of her, why don't you go out of the palace to get the medicine yourself." ”

His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and then he raised his eyes and looked at Sihan very seriously, without speaking.

Sihan's expression changed slightly, and he met his gaze indifferently, "What, could it be that your concubine's illness is not possible, the imperial doctor in the palace can't, so you need to find a divine doctor outside the palace to get medicine?" ”

Only then did he lower his eyes and said respectfully: "The mother's illness is not a serious illness, just an ordinary fever. But the imperial doctors in the palace did not come to diagnose and treat the mother, and the younger brother went out of the palace to get medicine for the mother, which was also a helpless move. ”

Si Han was stunned, and his face gradually changed a little, "The concubine is sick, why can't the imperial doctor in the palace treat her?" ”

His tone became more and more thick and low, and it was also vaguely mixed with a bit of undisguised remoteness and self-deprecation, "The people who are about to settle in the imperial tomb are just people who have been abandoned by this deep palace." The imperial doctor in the palace will also judge the situation, knowing that the imperial sister does not like my mother and son, so he will not reach out to help, lest he provoke the fire. ”

Is it?

These words are in my ears, and Sihan really doesn't believe it.

In any case, Concubine Shu's status is not low, and no matter how bold the imperial doctor is, he definitely doesn't dare not save Concubine Shu. What's more, her Yan Sihan's status in Tanglin has always been unpopular and truly respected, that is, even the group of wall grasses in the court dare to join forces to resist her, how could this imperial doctor in the palace abandon the concubine who has been entrenched in the palace for many years, and fall to her Yan Sihan's side.

His thoughts were churning, and Sihan's face became more and more heavy.

She was silent for a moment before she said in a deep voice: "The imperial doctor in the palace, no matter how bold he is, he doesn't dare to abandon Concubine Shu's illness." What's more, you are still in contact with the new emperor from time to time, and if the imperial doctor can judge the situation and assess the situation, he will also look at the new emperor and treat your mother. ”

He said slowly: "The water in the palace is in dire straits, how does the imperial sister know." In the past, when his father was alive, the imperial sister was born one after another, and her status was respected, and she was protected by her father and the crown prince and brother, so she didn't know the hardships in the palace. In this palace, if any concubine loses power, she will be like a cheap grass, everyone despises and bullies, and she doesn't know when she will die, let alone the prince and heir, how can she have prestige. And those imperial doctors have long practiced the sleekness, good at the will of the emperor, and the ability to judge the situation has already been perfected, yes, now that the imperial sister is in power, even if I am friendly with the new emperor, but the imperial sister has not spoken, how can those imperial doctors care about the life and death of my mother. ”

The long and faint words are smooth and straightforward, not in a hurry or angry, but people can't detect too many emotions.

Sihan stared at him with deep eyes, his expression moved slightly, and he did not speak.

He looked at Sihan's eyes quietly, and continued to say slowly: "Moreover, the younger brother is friendly with the new emperor, just because he has pitied him since he was a child, and he likes him, although the imperial sister does not believe it, but the younger brother, believe it." ”
