Chapter Seventy-One: The Spring of the Past

Sima Lie stopped, raised his head and glanced at Yu Feng meaningfully, and then glanced at Sima He again, Sima He's panicked appearance made him more and more annoyed, if it weren't for the power of this fifth brother's mother's family, he wouldn't have raised this wine bag and rice bag in vain.

Sima Lie let out a long sigh and said:

"No, now Sima must send someone to keep an eye on me, if I rush into the palace, it will attract unwarranted suspicion, let him frame me for being related to those black-clothed assassins, and if I am not careful, Lord Lu's secret line will also be found out by him......"

When Yu Feng heard this, he immediately bowed down to show that he was not considerate, and the lobby was at an impasse again.

At this time, the head of the house came to report, and when Sima Lie saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Is Fang Gongzi back?"

The head replied respectfully: "Returning to the prince, exactly." ”

"Let him in." A flash of joy flashed in Sima Lie's eyes.

In addition to the clan support of his mother's family, Sima He also has an intersection with the folk killer assassins, those people are all first-class masters, and their identities will not be revealed. However, Sima Lie still kept an eye on it, and secretly let Fang Xu, an archer he had secretly cultivated, lurk on the way into the palace, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Sima He's people were defeated, and Fang Xu was his last hope.

But after Fang Xu truthfully told today's events, Sima Lie couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in disbelief:

"Did that Sima Ji actually dodge your arrow?! And maybe took your arrows with them?! ”

"My subordinates guessed like this, and I searched many times afterwards, but I didn't find the arrow." Fang Xu knelt on one knee, his face expressionless, his eyes half-squinted, and as soon as he raised his eyes, the killer's unique aura was enough to make people shudder.

Sima Lie got up from his seat with a "bang", his face became more and more ugly, if this is the case, things will become more difficult, "Sima Ji" may not only have martial arts but also be thoughtful and proficient in power techniques.

"Aren't you a first-class archer in Luojing? So escaped by a bookstore kid! It's rare that he still got the true biography of a martial arts master?! Sima Lie's tone was anxious.

Fang Xu didn't speak, Sima Lie also knew his temperament, and let him go down after a few words of appeasement, after Fang Xu left, Sima Lie's eyes showed a fierce light, and he asked in a low voice:

"Did you find the bookstore shopkeeper?"

"Lord Wang, not yet." Yu Feng replied.

"Then send more people to look for him, find him, I will interrogate him severely!" After speaking, Sima Lie put down his sleeves and walked into the courtyard, his lips were closed, he looked up at the sky, his eyes closed, and he sighed in his heart

"Could it be...... Is God really unwilling to give me the country of Dayu......"

……

Xue and his entourage returned to the Queen Mother's dormitory, the dormitory where Xue lived had already been extinguished in a fire of Tao Guifei, and the Queen Mother ordered someone to clean up the East Palace where the prince lived before, so that Xue and Sima Cheng could live.

But when she thought of Sima Yun, the Empress Dowager Xun was a little troubled, Sima Cheng saw the opportunity, took the initiative to mention it to the Empress Dowager, and said:

"The Empress Dowager, Yun Gongzi and I had a friendship when I was a child, and later Yun Gongzi also lived in the palace when he came to Yizhou, this time again, the prince intends to accept Yun Gongzi as a righteous son, and I hope that the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness will approve it."

As soon as Sima Yun heard that the prince was going to accept him as his son, wouldn't he be able to be with Sima Cheng every day? He was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Xue and the Queen Mother:

"I am also willing to be the prince's righteous son."

Empress Dowager Xun turned her head to look at Xue, wanting to hear what Xue meant, Xue nodded and said:

"It's up to the queen mother to decide."

Sima Yun was originally the prince, and now, he is willing to demote himself to be the son of the prince, which not only removes the royal dilemma, but also does not seem to treat him badly, there is no shortage of good ideas, and the Empress Dowager Xun naturally agreed.

After that, the four of them had lunch together in the Empress Dowager Xun's palace, and during the banquet, the Empress Dowager Xun was talking, asking Xue about her condition in the past few days, and admonishing a few words, and then, according to the etiquette, he also greeted Sima Yun in some things in the people, and he also said vaguely, perhaps Sima Cheng intended to remind him that Sima Yun did not mention his relationship with Shi Hualou.

Aunt Yao, the maid of the Empress Dowager Xun, is a good tea-maker in the palace, and the Empress Dowager is also very boring, and after lunch, she left four people to drink tea in the palace.

After a stalemate, Aunt Yao came up with new tea, Xue just wanted to get up and pick it up, and when she stood up, she realized that this was what women often do, and her face showed a panicked look, and the Empress Dowager Xun asked with concern when she saw this:

"Ji'er, are you okay?"

Xue immediately put away her panic and replied respectfully:

"Erchen was just attracted by the fragrance of tea, which made the queen mother worried."

When Empress Dowager Xun heard that Xue liked it, she was also full of joy and asked Aunt Yao to introduce Xue to Aunt Yao, Aunt Yao said:

"This tea is Shi Nan Yulu, its fragrance is fresh and refreshing, because the shape of the cord is tight and round, the color is green and moist, it is said to be 'white as jade', so it is named, if His Royal Highness likes me, he will let people send it to His Royal Highness at night."

Xue hurriedly said, "I like it." "But who knows, Xue didn't like tea since she was a child, whether it was in the palace or in the bookstore.

Sima Cheng and Sima Yun both pinched the small tea cup, looked at the color of the tea, smelled the smell of tea, smelled the fragrance of tea, and then moved between their noses and lips, or sniffed or sipped, all of which showed the quality of a noble son. But only after Xue took a sip, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and when she raised her head, she accidentally bumped into the kind eyes of the Empress Dowager Xun, and she had no choice but to laugh and swallow it all.

Sima Cheng couldn't help frowning when he saw this, snow is not called tea, it is called cow drinking.

The three of them drank for a while, and Aunt Yao sent the tea of the Empress Dowager Xun for a long time, and whispered in the ear of the Empress Dowager Xun before leaving, and she didn't know what to say, but after seeing that, the Empress Dowager Xun nodded.

Xue unintentionally glanced at the tea cup in front of the Empress Dowager Xun, and found that the color of the tea soup was yellowish, and the fragrance smelled different from her own, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered that when Empress Xun was a child, when she was in the bedroom of the concubine, the concubine would help her prepare a tea soup alone, at that time she had asked Aunt Yao privately, and Aunt Yao said that it was a longan tea brewed with longan and green tea.

When she was in the bookstore, Xue was not used to the astringency in the tea, so she tried to make flower and fruit tea with flowers and fruits, and asked the master of the medical hall about related things at that time, she remembered that the master had mentioned that for people with qi deficiency, longan tea is beneficial to qi and blood, Xue was secretly happy in her heart, so she took the initiative to ask Aunt Yao:

"May I ask Aunt Yao, is it longan tea prepared for the queen mother?"

When Empress Dowager Xun heard this, she glanced at Aunt Yao, Aunt Yao was a little surprised, and was about to talk back to Xue when a voice came from outside the house:

"The Doctor has arrived"

I saw a figure slowly walk into the house, the thin figure gave people a sense of weakness, and the appearance of low eyebrows and head could not see the face clearly, and the person came in only to find that there was more than one queen mother in the house, and he looked up and looked up to meet the four eyes of the snow.

Xue was shocked, and stood up suddenly, her lips opened slightly, and she was stunned for a long time before she whispered:

"Brother You......"
