Sima Shu heard that Nangong Yi's decree arrived, so he had to go out of the garden to Yiqing Hall to receive the decree, and it was Liu Zhen who came to announce the decree, and he read: "The queen's mother's decree is to summon the prince Sima Shu to enter the Nangong Furong Palace." ”

When Sima Shu heard Yizhi, he only said that he was summoned to the palace, and he didn't say anything else, which was really incomprehensible.

Sima Shu got up after receiving the order and asked, "Father-in-law, I don't know what Niangniang summoned me to the palace?" ”

Liu Zhen knew that he would ask, and said: "Your Highness, in fact, there is nothing wrong, I heard that the emperor will go to Nangong to see the little prince today, maybe the queen wants His Royal Highness to see the little emperor's brother, in order to continue the brotherhood." After speaking, Liu Zhen went back to the palace to reinvent the order.

Wang Huifeng walked over and said, "Your Highness, the queen has wanted to harm you several times, but I don't think I'm happy this time, so don't go." ”

"Huifeng, how can the queen summon me to resist the order, if that is the case, she will use this as an excuse to punish me."

"What can I do? If you go, I'm afraid something will happen to you. ”

"Huifeng, Zhao's father-in-law just said that my father will also go to see the little prince, so I don't have to be afraid, besides, will the queen be unable to abolish me, so I want to ease the relationship between us, and turn the conflict into a jade silk from now on?"

"With her character, it is absolutely impossible, Your Highness must be careful."

"Okay."

Sima Shu spent a few hours in anxiety, and before the time came, he was ready to get up, took two eunuchs who were close to him, and said goodbye to Wang Huifeng to go to Nangong.

Wang Huifeng instructed again: "Your Highness, remember that if you are left for dinner, you must not drink alcohol, not a drop!" Be sure to speak less, use words carefully, and not let her grasp the handle of a word. ”’

"Hmm."

Sima Shu agreed and turned around, Wang Huifeng gave him another silver hairpin, asked him to hide it in his clothes, and said: "Your Highness, when you eat, you must use it to try the dishes in front of you before eating, so as not to ......"

Sima Shu looked at Wang Huifeng, with mixed feelings in his heart, this woman who was tricked by fate came to his side, he had been scolded by himself, he had been snubbed by himself, he had been scolded by himself, he had rejected her wholeheartedly, when did he really hurt her once, she was also a woman, she needed care, she needed a husband who sheltered her from the wind and rain, but she didn't really regard her as her wife, God made a mistake and let her bear it alone, this is too unfair, even so, but she treats herself without complaints, although she can't forget her sister, But why can't she cherish the person in front of her, after all, she loves herself, I owe her too much, Sima Shu took Wang Huifeng, Wang Huifeng put her head on his chest, her tears flowed out, and she said silently in her heart, Sima Shu, you finally accept me seriously......

Time seemed to freeze, the two of them hugged together and forgot the time, and a eunuch said: "Your Highness, the time is coming, let's go." ”

Sima Shu separated the two, he grabbed her hand again and said softly: "Ah Feng, wait for me to come back......"

Wang Huifeng nodded.

Sima Shu walked to the palace gate, and when he was still a few steps away, a group of white snakes suddenly crawled out from both sides, there were dozens of them, each one zhang long, they gathered at the door to block Sima Shu's way, and they also straightened up and frequently shook the snake's head towards Sima Shu, as if someone was shaking his head!

A eunuch said, "Your Highness, Your Highness...... This is not a ......" He just wanted to say that this was not a good omen, but after thinking about it, he turned to say: "Your Highness, depending on the situation, the white snake is unwilling to let you go out!" ”

Wang Huifeng looked at everything in front of him, and said with a tight heart: "Your Highness, don't go......"

"No, I'm upright, why be afraid, Jia Hou she tried all her tricks and tried every means to abolish me, didn't she always succeed, I'm not afraid, if I don't go, it will make her rampant! Come on, drive away snakes! ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Wang Huifeng persuaded hard, Sima Shu still summoned the Praetorian Guards, and several sergeants took a lot of effort to drive the snake away.

Sima Shu took the two eunuchs to bid farewell to Wang Huifeng and left the East Palace and came to the South Palace.

Liu Zhen was waiting for him at the door, seeing him coming, he stepped forward and led Sima Shu to the Furong Palace, Sima Shu walked around and asked, "I don't know if my father is here?" ”

"The emperor hasn't arrived yet, the queen is waiting to see the little prince for His Royal Highness, come with us."

"The emperor hasn't arrived, I want to see my mother first, can I ask my father-in-law to tell the queen."

Liu Zhen rolled his eyes, and then agreed to him: "Okay, our family knows that His Royal Highness hasn't seen Concubine Xie for a long time, and if you want to come, you must miss your mother, how can you not meet when you come to Nangong, Your Highness, you can go with confidence, our family will go back and tell Niangniang, saying that you will go to the Furong Hall in a while, and our family is still waiting at the gate of the palace." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Sima Shu said and went to his mother Xie Jiu's residence.

When Sima Shu was in the past five confusions and three wandering forms, he also left his mother and concubine behind, and it is true that he has not seen each other for a long time.

Xie Jiu was deeply surprised by Sima Shu's arrival: "Shu'er, why are you here today, why haven't you been here for so long?" ”

"Mother concubine, they are all children...... Alas...... Mother, isn't the child here, I will come to see you every month in the future, and I will try to bring my mother to the East Palace to serve. ”

"Xiao'er, you are not too young, I can't take care of your affairs, you must study and practice martial arts well, so that you can make a difference in the future."

"Mother, I will, I can study and practice martial arts now, don't worry."

"Xiao'er, if you come to meet in the past, you always come here early in the morning, why do you come here after the time has passed?"

"It was the queen who summoned me when she wanted to be you, so I came at the time of you, and I told Empress Jia's personal eunuch the reason for the intercession, and he allowed me to come."

"Is there anything about this woman summoning you? Xiao'er, did you come alone, will she harm you here!? Xie Jiu said worriedly.

"Mother, the eunuch who delivered the decree didn't say anything, but he said that it might be for me to meet the emperor's brother. Don't worry, my father will come in a while, and she won't dare to harm me here. ”

"What royal brother, I don't know where I got the wild seeds! She's doing this just to pave the way for you, so be careful......

"The child is not afraid, Empress Jia has exhausted all means and has not abolished me, you can rest assured, the child will be fine."

"But ......"

A palace maid came in and said, "Guifei Niangniang, the father-in-law outside is urging His Royal Highness the Prince......

"Got it, you go down."

Sima Shu reluctantly said goodbye to Xie Jiu, and when he came to the door, Liu Zhen said: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I shouldn't have come to urge you, but Gonggong Fu said that the queen wanted you to enter the palace, so I had to come and ask you to go." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Liu Zhen led Sima Shu into the Furong Palace, but the two eunuchs he brought were blocked out of the hall, Liu Zhen said: "Niangniang confessed, only let His Royal Highness enter the palace." ”

Sima Shu told the two to wait at the gate of the hall, and he and Liu Zhen went forward.

After passing through the two doors, Liu Zhen led him to a side room, the light in the room was a little dim, Sima Shu saw that the situation was not right, and asked: "Father-in-law Zhao, don't you want to see my imperial brother, why did you bring me here?" ”

"Your Highness, that's the case, the emperor will be here soon, so I want to wait for the emperor to come and let His Highness meet together, and then meet the emperor's brother." Liu Zhendao.

"I see, okay, I'll just sit down for a while."

Sima Shu sat down reassuringly, Liu Zhen said goodbye and went out, and closed the door casually.

Immediately, another person pushed the door in, holding a tray with a wine glass full of wine and a small wine jar, and this person was Chen Wu.

Sima Shu had never seen Chen Wu, he was just an ordinary palace maid.

Chen Wu put the tray on the table, took the wine glass and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is the wine given to you by the mother, please enjoy it." ”

As soon as Sima Shu heard the queen's wine, he was about to reach out and take the cup, but he remembered Wang Huifeng's instructions, absolutely not to drink, he excused himself and said: "I can't drink, it will affect my studies, Zhang Sikong doesn't allow me to drink, and you will reply to my mother on my behalf, and say that I have thanked my mother for the gift." ”

Sima Shu's rhetoric made Chen Wu unable to refute, because Zhang Sikong didn't allow him to drink, so he couldn't force it.

Chen Wu glanced at Sima Shu and said, "Okay, the slave maid will go back to the mother." ”

Chen Wu went out with the tray, and after a while, he pushed the door in again, holding the tray in his hand as usual, but it was no longer a wine glass and wine jar, but a small bowl.

What's inside?

Chen Wu put down the tray and said: "Your Highness, just now the slave maid returned to Niangniang and said that you can't drink, so Niangniang will give Your Highness a bowl of dates again, please enjoy it." ”

Sima Qian said in his heart: "Jia Nanfeng, what tricks are you playing, could it be that this jujube is poisonous." ”

He glanced at Chen Wu, Chen Wu understood his thoughts, walked to the side and said, "Please enjoy it Your Highness, the slave maid serves here." ”

As she spoke, she stood with her hands down and bowed her head, because in the palace, the rules are like this.

Sima Shu took out the silver hairpin that Wang Huifeng gave him, put it into the bowl, pulled it out and saw that it did not change color, and was sure that it was not poisonous, so he put away the silver hairpin and picked a candied date with a bamboo skewer and put it in his mouth. "Whoa...
