Could it be that she doesn't like it?

Yan Chengque was puzzled.

This night he was on the moat again, and the moonlight was as good as last night, and he always felt that something was gradually becoming less than it had been......

At the same time, in the palace, Empress Li secretly summoned the eldest prince Lin Xiuyuan, although Lin Xiuyuan knew that the emperor had the intention to let him succeed to the throne, but he was still afraid of Hongyi, an opponent, and it was a good thing for him to have the queen's help.

"I don't know how the eldest prince plans to deal with that Lin Hongyi? That person has a tiger talisman in his hand, so he still has to be on guard, so as not to cause any trouble in the future. "Queen's Road.

In her opinion, it is best to take the tiger talisman away from Lin Hongyi and empty Lin Hongyi's authority, so that she can sit back and relax.

Lin Xiuyuan was noncommittal to her proposal: "Does the queen know that there is a force that has risen in Jiangnan recently, called the Pavilion of the Dead?" ”

"Afterlife Pavilion?" The Queen shook her head.

She now lives in this palace, and she is naturally unheard of by those local forces.

"That group of forces has been hiding in the mountains near Lin Hongyi's fiefdom, and it is said that the martial arts of the disciples in the pavilion are as strong as the secret guards raised by wealthy businessmen and wealthy merchants, and they are all proficient in pharmacology and good at witchcraft." Lin Xiuyuan said.

"But what does this have to do with Prince Hong?" The queen was puzzled.

"At first, I thought it had nothing to do with the third brother, until I heard that the Xu Gongzi next to the queen's mother was also a person who was proficient in pharmacology, and the beauty pill he developed was even amazed when the imperial doctor in the palace saw it." Lin Xiuyuan said meaningfully.

The queen's eyes moved slightly: "You mean ......"

"I thought it was strange before, why that person was weak and frail, but he still took the initiative to ask to live in the Qingyin Palace, who didn't know that the Qingyin Palace was the coldest place in the entire palace, and I heard that there was a haunting thing in the previous dynasty, and it was really not a suitable place to recuperate. Later, my third brother sent dozens of pots of phoenix grass to the Qingyin Palace, and Xu Shuhuai scalded all the flowers to death in a blink of an eye, and then ran to Changchun Palace to scold you......"

The queen only knew that Lin Hongyi sent flowers to the palace, but she didn't know what the name of the flowers was.

"Phoenix grass, does it have any great effect?" She asked, suspiciously.

Lin Xiuyuan nodded: "This thing can repel insects." Not only ordinary mosquitoes, but even Gu worms can be repellent. ”

"Gu worms?" The queen's expression gradually became solemn.

She didn't know about witchcraft, she had only heard that it was a witchcraft.

And Lin Xiuyuan's words were nothing more than hinting at her that Xu Shuhuai was a Gu cultivator.

As soon as she thought of the ice muscle cream she had been using in his configuration for the past few days, she felt a chill in her heart: "Great Prince, what do you mean by saying this to me?" ”

"I suspect that this Afterlife Pavilion has something to do with Xu Shuhuai, or my third brother. Now that Xu Shuhuai has taken refuge in you, you can call him over and interrogate him carefully, if my third brother raises dead soldiers in his own fiefdom and builds up a force, he only needs to ask his father to report this matter, and he can lose the title of Prince Hong without using a single soldier, and even lose the head on his neck. Lin Xiuyuan said with a sneer.

"If this matter is only related to Xu Shuhuai, and Prince Hong doesn't know what it has to do with it?" The queen couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xiuyuan felt that this queen was still a little stupid: "Xu Shuhuai is his old friend, and that force has arisen in his fiefdom, if you want to say that it has nothing to do with him, who will believe it?" ”

The queen nodded, feeling that this was reasonable.

It is a great thing to be able to settle Lin Hongyi without moving a single soldier, whether it is for her or Lin Xiuyuan.

She quickly sent someone to find Xu Shuhuai, Xu Shuhuai did not bring a palace maid this time, only a young eunuch.

"I don't know what happened when the queen summoned her today?" He bowed, his tone was not hurried, and on his thin face, his eyes were too deep, as if he had already guessed the calculations in the queen's heart.

"Young Master Xu, have you heard of the Past Life Pavilion?" The queen doesn't beat around the bush either.

Xu Shuhuai looked puzzled: "Queen Mother, this Afterlife Pavilion doesn't sound like the name of a rouge gouache shop, isn't it...... Is it a newly opened restaurant in Beijing? ”

The queen secretly scolded him for deliberately pretending to be stupid, what restaurant would have such an obscure name?

"Master Xu, I think it's better for you to tell the truth, don't embarrass this palace. Recently, someone in the palace said that they saw Gu worms in your Qingyin Palace, do you know that raising Gu in the palace is a big crime to kill? If it weren't for the palace to protect you, you would have been pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded to show the public, how could you live so well? The queen coldly threatened.

Xu Shuhuai smiled, his expression remained the same: "How can you embarrass the queen mother?" Doesn't the queen just want to know the relationship between Zai Xia and the Afterlife Pavilion, it's very simple, Zai Xia has nothing to do with the Afterlife Pavilion, but Prince Hong ...... him"

"How is he?" The queen asked busily.

"The Pavilion of the Dead was built by Prince Hong, and the medicine and Gu techniques of the disciples in the pavilion were also taught by him to the strangers in southern Xinjiang, so that he could have the strength to fight when he competed with the eldest prince." Xu Shuhuai said.

In just two sentences, the queen's heart was shocked.

Sure enough, sure enough......

She silently glanced at the screen on the side, and quickly turned her gaze back: "Young Master Xu, are you deceiving the palace?" ”

Xu Shuhuai shook his head: "Xu didn't dare, Xu was guilty of Prince Hong when he was a child, lost his male body, and then lived in the palace for him, acting as his eyes and ears, but he abandoned Xu for a mere woman, Xu was really angry, so he had to choose a good tree to live on." ”

"It's a good tree to perch on...... the queen's eyes changed a little when she looked at him.

This Xu Shuhuai is simply the best chess piece to bring down Lin Hongyi.

Come to think of it, all Lin Hongyi's actions over the years, this person is clear, if he is escorted to the palace to confront Lin Hongyi, even the gods will not be able to save Lin Hongyi, the prince......

If you don't talk about losing your head, at least you can be demoted to a commoner.

At that time, there was only Lin Xiuyuan left in the palace as a legitimate prince, and as for Lin Huai'an, he was originally picked up from the battlefield, so naturally there was no threat at all.

"Okay, you go down first, and the palace will send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly." The queen waved her hand.

As soon as Xu Shuhuai left, a person immediately came out behind the screen.

It was none other than Lin Xiuyuan.

"What this person just said, the eldest prince heard it?" The queen asked.

"It seems that my guess is really correct," Lin Xiuyuan's gloomy face rarely had a hint of a smile, "The queen mother is so helpful, when I sit on the throne of the crown prince one day, I will definitely repay my mother with a good life." ”

Having said that, there was still a vague strangeness in his heart.

Just for a woman, can you really let this Xu Shuhuai completely betray his third brother......
