At the same time.

Tai Chi Palace.

Inside the Rizheng Palace.

I don't know if it's the reason why he hasn't returned to the palace for a long time, as soon as Li Hong enters the palace, he cries endlessly and refuses to sleep, no matter how the grandmothers coax and persuade him, they refuse to stop, and in desperation, Mei Niang had to hug him in her arms herself, while shaking back and forth, in order for him to sleep well.

Or because of his mother's comfort, little Li Hong cried for a while, and he didn't say anything, but he sobbed slightly, and he was ridiculous and distressed.

After a while, Li Zhi drove to the Lizheng Palace, and when he saw Mei Niang like this, he didn't like it in his heart, so he turned his head to look at the Yu sisters who were ordered to guard the Lizheng Hall after the husband and wife left:

"What's going on?"

"Incompetent subordinates ......"

The two sisters were about to kneel, but they were stopped by Mei Niang:

"Jiro doesn't have to blame them, I'm afraid that he hasn't been in the palace for most of the year, some of the smells in the palace are not good, and the children don't sleep well.

But it's not a big deal. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately went to the library with Ryan to get the pure incense that had just been paid into the inner court, and smoked it well inside and outside the palace.

After a while, I saw a team of servants hurrying in, each holding a bush of incense in their hands.

Without waiting for them to say goodbye, Li Zhi waved his hand and ordered them to smoke each.

While Minghe also helped with incense, he said:

"It's amazing......

Obviously, the two sisters smoke incense according to the time of day......

The attendants are also cleaned, why do they smell like this? ”

When Mei Niang heard this, her heart moved and she looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi immediately lowered his face and looked at Ryan.

Ryan didn't wait to ask more, so he stepped forward and pulled Minghe away, and instructed the little attendants to check it carefully.

After a while, I saw a little attendant hurrying in and saying something to Minghe and Ryan, and immediately, the faces of the two of them were ugly, and they ran towards the apse at the same time.

Although Li Zhimei Niang saw it in her eyes, she didn't take it to heart, she just thought that something was broken-

Yes, at this time they also smelled, faintly, a rancid smell.

But after a while, the two ran back, and their faces were extremely ugly.

Li Zhi immediately realized that something was wrong, so he said lightly:

"What's wrong?"

"Lord, little Akin...... Died in the back garden. ”

Li Zhi's eyes widened immediately:

"What?"

"Little Ah Jin...... was killed by witchcraft in the back garden. ”

Li Zhi looked at Mei Niang's expression that was also extremely shocked, and immediately said lightly:

"Check, check to the end!"

Looking at the figure that he should claim to be and hurriedly leave, Li Zhi's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a low voice after a while:

"Don't worry, I'll find out."

Mei Niang shook her head and said nothing, and after hearing about it for a while, the Yu sisters, who were also very surprised, stepped forward and said:

"It seems that you haven't noticed this all these days?"

"Back to Niangniang, not only did I not realize it, but I didn't have it at all."

Yuru said first:

"In fact, as soon as we entered the temple today, we smelled this kind of smell, but because we didn't enter the temple for three or five days, we just cleaned up outside the hall, so we couldn't smell the smell from the back garden......

Mei Niang turned her head and looked at Li Zhi again:

"With them here, if you want to do something in the Lizheng Palace, I'm afraid it's also difficult. It must have been the tricks they had done when they went to the Wannian Palace to prepare for their return in the past few days. ”

Li Zhi said lightly:

"The most likely person ......"

"There is no one in the palace, but there are still outside the palace."

Mei Niang said lightly.

Li Zhi's eyes lit up.

The next afternoon.

Changan.

Tai Chi Palace.

In the official residence of the province.

When Ah Luo hurriedly entered, the eldest grandson Wuji was discussing with Yu Suiliang about the reopening of the domestic court meeting in recent days.

Seeing him rushing in, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately stopped talking and glanced at Yu Suiliang, who would retreat willingly.

Then, he turned around and waited for Aro to answer.

"Master, it's already confirmed, it's him who is not fake."

The eldest grandson Wuji turned around and glared at him suddenly:

"Sure?"

"It's confirmed, the human and material evidence is complete, and it's him who can't escape."

Arrow sighed:

"The little attendant in the Wanchun Hall has been taken down by Ah Luo, just waiting for the master to inquire about it......"

"You don't have to stay, except for him, who else knows?"

"There are several more ......"

A Luo Chi asked:

"Really, you don't have to?"

"Such a major event, once it is publicized, is bound to shake my Tang Dynasty foundation. Need not! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said categorically:

"Spread the old man's words, from today onwards, all the dark lines in the palace, except for that one, all the others will be called, and all of them will be arranged into the inner court, and they will do their best to help the Lord and the shadow guard, and be sure to settle this matter well, just wait for the time to come!"

"Yes!"

Ah Luo answered, and said:

"But there's another thing...... It also seems a little strange. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked back at him:

"What?"

"Today, people outside the Lizheng Hall in the palace have spread the word, saying that they don't know when, the fine dog Ah Jin, who is raised by the lord in the Lizheng Palace, was killed in the backyard with a witchcraft spell."

The eldest grandson Wuji turned his head and looked at him:

"Can you find out who did it?"

"Not yet, but I think the Lord has probably already investigated the matter by this time. But I don't know if we want to help each other? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while:

"Not only do you have to help each other, but you have to get evidence before the Lord does...... Got it? ”

When Ah Luo heard this, he was puzzled:

"Why is that?"

"Then you'll understand, just do it."

"Yes."

……

Midnight.

Taiji Palace, Ningyun Pavilion.

When Shen Shu drank the third glass of wine, the figure he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared in front of him:

"You just have to drink, and let me run around like this."

Shen Shu smiled heartily, stretched out his hand and poured him a cup first, and then said:

"Isn't this just waiting for you?"

When the two brothers met, they naturally drank a cup first, then put down the cup, and then talked about today's events.

After the man had told him what had happened, he said:

"What the hell is going on today?

The queen and the Xiao family are dead, although the matter is tightly hidden, but it is only to the people in the palace, as well as other people outside the palace.

But now I may not know that such a major event can be hidden from others, but it may not be able to hide from the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

Shen Shu thought about it for a while, but said with a faint smile:

"yes......

But they can't be blamed for concealing it, after all, they are at the most critical time at the moment, Wang Xiao's second daughter is dead, although it will be of great benefit to Wu Zhaoyi's future, but once it is not done well, it will also ruin the final event.

What's more, the identity of the queen is still there at this time, once it is found that she has passed away, that is, if she is abolished in the future, she will have to remember the feelings of the old people a little, and she will not be clean, and most of them will return to the mausoleum for burial......

This is not in line with today's wishes, so it must be concealed, at least until the queen's seal is abolished to a low level. ”

"But if that's the case, it's hard to hide it! After all, it is not yet known when it will be abolished...... Ah, so you're ......."

"That's right, in fact, I also know that once Imakami is given the opportunity to meet the queen, she will not have a chance to die. And if she didn't die, Xiao wouldn't be able to clear it so smoothly. ”

Shen Shu said lightly:

"After all, they are still very useful at the moment."

The man understood:

"That's why you have to design like this, let Li Zhong get rid of the queen as soon as possible, and then take the opportunity to get rid of the Xiao family as well......

Only in this way will the Lord be forced to speed up and solve Wang Xiao's matter as soon as possible......

Only when solving Wang Xiao's matter can the Lord face the eldest grandson Wuji, and our major affairs can be carried out......

Really? ”

Shen Shu stopped smiling, and said lightly for a while:

"Do you know, in the early years, I also resented why the emperor had clearly set up his father as the crown prince, but he still kept vacillating between his second uncle and his father......

But later, we watched this second uncle ascend the throne and become emperor day by day, and watched him painstakingly cultivate a successor day by day......

I suddenly realized that compared to our second uncle, my father is really not a good material for an emperor.

If the Tang Dynasty is handed over to his father, he may be able to prosper for a while.

It can be demanded for thousands of generations, glorious for all nations......

But only our second uncle and this little cousin he picked out can do it.

Even a few of our other cousins can't do it. ”

"How?"

"None of them are like this little cousin, not only dedicated, but also infatuated.

But only a truly infatuated person can be ruthless and resolute......

Because for him, except for the woman he cares about the most, it doesn't matter if everyone else in the world is important, they can all be sacrificed, even himself.

And others don't. No matter how infatuated other people are, they will eventually see themselves more, so if it comes to the time of choosing between the two phases, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not sacrifice some things that must not be sacrificed in order to protect themselves. ”

The man sighed softly:

"That's why the second uncle tied the person his cousin valued the most with the entire Tang Dynasty......"

At this point, the man suddenly paused, his face slightly surprised, and then he was extremely shocked:

"Could it be...... Could it be that the rumors back then were simply the second uncle's own ......"

"Yes or no, you don't know, and I don't know. There is only one Yuan Tiangang who knows.

And now Yuan Tiangang is also wandering, and he can't find his footprints.

Fortunately, we didn't come here to fight for the throne, but fortunately, our little cousin is really a good person, and he is also very affectionate to us.

So there's no need to pursue it too much, let alone break it.

Let's just do what we're going to do. ”

As soon as Shen Shu finished saying this, the man nodded his head again and again, and said after a while:

"Speaking of which, we're a little sorry for the Lord......

In the end, he always has to try to help him and Wu Zhaoyi. ”

"yes......

Even if it is to repay the kindness of our good aunt, we have to help him. ”

Shen Shu said softly, thought for a moment before raising his head and said:

"Speaking of which, how is the Liu clan now?"

"Liu? The Queen's Mother?

Well...... So far, it's okay...... Why, Brother Fei is also the same as the eldest grandson Wuji, suspecting that she is ......"

The man was slightly surprised:

"But she's afraid she won't be able to know about it!"

"Of course I know she can't learn about the Queen's death. I'm just thinking that although the Lord wants to solve this problem as soon as possible, he can't push it too hard.

Now that the Xiao family is almost zero, not to mention that the Xiao family has committed a big crime before, and she has no hope of fighting, and her clansmen are afraid that they don't want to be more affected by it.

And I remember her parents, but they died early. ”

"That's true...... Why, are you worried that the Liu family will do something for your daughter, so you want to take advantage of this witch Gu incident to press the Liu family to death at home, so that she will not be able to quarrel to see her daughter anymore, and help the master protect the secret for a while?

But if that's the case, wouldn't our purpose ......?"

"One year, only one year.

I'm just going to give our little cousin a year. If he can't handle this matter after a year, I will naturally expose this matter of the Wang family to the Liu family......

But I don't think so. In my opinion, although it will take some time to be established, it will be abolished......

But I'm afraid it's just in the middle of this half a year. ”

Shen Shu said lightly.
