The first thing Pu Yangxu did when he returned to the palace was to let people recall Fu'an back to the palace, as a close attendant of the first emperor, he was naturally arranged to guard the emperor's mausoleum for the first emperor, and when the filial piety period expired, he would return if there was an edict to recall, if not, he would guard it for the rest of his life.

But by the time the emperor's order arrived, Fu'an had already committed suicide in the imperial mausoleum.

The letter he left behind was sent back and presented to the emperor.

Pu Yangxu's impression of this middle-aged official who watched him grow up has always been gentle and positive, and it wasn't until he opened the letter that he knew that there is always cause and effect in this world, there is retribution and response, and people have good times and evil times.

Fu'an's real name is He Youquan, before he was transferred to Emperor Kang'an, he served as a steward in Weiyang Palace for a short period of three years, in other words, he had an old master who was the nobleman Xu at that time, and later the noble concubine.

Probably the letter paper is limited, and He Youquan's long life is only a few big things worth telling, one is to secretly send a message to Emperor Kang'an to change the prescription of Emperor Renwu, and the other is to personally tie Bai Aya to the neck of Emperor Renwu's second deposed queen Song, and send her to be buried.

Pu Yangxu put the letter back on the imperial case, and the person leaned back in the chair.

There is no inside story, no conspiracy...... It was really Emperor Kang'an who killed his father.

Even though he never believed that blood and kinship would be great in the royal family, he still felt chilling and sad.

And the first thing Shen Tingnian did when he returned to the palace was to summon Fu Lu.

When she heard King Ping call Lin Mo's pseudonym Ah Fu, she realized that the other party was pointing out people to her.

There is no evidence and no reason, but Shen Tingnian believes that Lin Mo will not give himself such a coincidental name for no reason.

Fu Lu hurriedly entered Yan Xitang, and when he saw Shen Tingnian, he didn't feel that it was strange to suddenly summon him, and waited respectfully for the question.

Shen Tingnian looked him up and down, his eyes were cold, and his voice was the same: "Father-in-law Fu, do you know how the Ye sisters died?" ”

Fu Lu lowered his head and replied without thinking: "Suicide by taking poison." ”

"What did you find?"

"Back to Niangniang's words, I asked the criminal department to do an examination, and it has been identified as suicide, and no one else has gone into the cold palace to visit them these days, so the possibility of his murder can be basically ruled out......"

Listening to his eloquent and in-depth analysis, Shen Tingnian could gradually conclude that the Ye sisters were involved in the death, and he picked them too cleanly.

It's not like the last time when the flaws were exposed for the sake of inviting merit, and some unwritten rules within the palace were revealed for the sake of surrender.

"They are living so well, why can't they think of committing suicide."

Shen Tingnian pretended to talk to himself, as if he couldn't figure it out.

Fu Lu stopped talking and replied thoughtfully: "The reason why this man wants to die is indescribable and indescribable......"

"yes." Shen Tingnian smiled at him, "There is no reason for this person to die." ”

Fu Lu was shaken by her smile, and subconsciously laughed too.

"Father-in-law Fu will stay in Yanxi Hall and listen to it."

After Shen Tingnian finished ordering, she straightened her sleeves and got up and walked out, she was going to do the second thing.

###

"Transfer Fu Lu to Yan Xi Hall?"

Pu Yangxu didn't know why Shen Tingnian suddenly wanted to transfer people over, and he also named Fulu.

But a small thing, without worry, was allowed.

Chen Luo saw that he didn't take Fu Lu in his eyes, and the little depression in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he hurriedly talked about another matter.

"When the slave came, he happened to bump into Niangniang out of Yanxi Hall......"

To be precise, Chen Luo and Shen Tingnian went out on the front and back feet, and when he saw that Shen Tingnian got into the chariot and went in the direction of Ci'an Palace, he hurriedly followed.

It is not too far from the Qinzheng Palace to the Ci'an Palace, but when they arrived at the gate of the Ci'an Palace, the sky was already dark, and the Ci'an Palace had just been hung with glass lanterns, making the palace quiet and peaceful.

Shen Tingnian got out of the car and strode to the palace gate, the door was open, and four saber guards stepped forward to stop him, without waiting for them to ask, Shen Tingnian spoke first, "Yan Xitang Shen Tingnian asked to see the Queen Mother, please go in and pass on a message." ”

The leading guard snorted coldly: "How can the Queen Mother say that she can see her, no one is allowed to approach here without summoning her, let's go!" ”

Shen Tingnian stood still, his eyes rolled, and he sneered: "If you don't go in to spread the word, I won't leave, if you're not afraid of losing your head, move me to try!" ”

The guard was stunned by her arrogant tone, his face suddenly sank, and he scolded loudly: "You are so bold, no matter who comes here to ask to see the Queen Mother, you have to be polite!" Come on, ...... her."

Just as he wanted to say to pull the person down, the guard on duty next to him grabbed him, and said close to him: "Guard Wang, this person is from Yan Xitang...... You really don't want your head......"

was interrupted, and seeing Shen Tingnian's fearless look, the leading Wang guard was annoyed for a while: "Who does it matter!" There are many people who want to see the Queen Mother without being summoned, so they won't give her a gift! ”

Shen Tingnian was even more annoyed when he heard this, turned his head and looked at the few palace maids and eunuchs who came from Yanxi Hall, and ordered: "You all go up and beg, shout and ask to see the Queen Mother for a reward of a piece of silver, whoever has a loud voice will be rewarded twice, and I will keep your heads safe!" ”

The corners of Chen Luo's mouth, who was standing on the side, twitched, today is really generous. The two palace maids and two eunuchs behind him also looked at each other, looking frightened, seeing that they didn't dare to move, Shen Tingnian's voice sank again, "If you don't ask, go back and kill you all!" ”

In addition to Chen Luo, the other four people were all frightened and weak, and one of the timid ones took the lead in crying, and pounced on him and knelt and kowtowed, "The slave has kowtowed to you, please report it!" ”

There was a leader, and the rest all went up to kowtow to the guard guarding the door and cried, and the first one shouted 'Ask to see the Queen Mother', and the second followed, and it was louder than the other, mixed with crying, and the movement at the gate of Ci'an Palace could be heard.

After a while, the eunuch in charge came out to check, only looked at a few glances and hurriedly ran away, and it didn't take long for the eunuch to come out, also to see the situation, and hurriedly left.

After half a cup of tea, someone shouted: "Mama Qi is here!" ”

The first two people in front of the lamp, followed by a few strong eunuchs, as soon as Mama Qi came out, the movement at the palace gate immediately disappeared, and the people who followed Shen Tingnian were not brainless, they all knelt tremblingly, Chen Luo was still standing behind Shen Tingnian, breathing a sigh of relief.

Mama Qi first glanced at the minions, then looked at Shen Tingnian fixedly, frowned almost invisibly, and ordered sideways: "Drag them down." ”

Several powerful eunuchs stepped forward and approached the four servants of Yan Xitang, and Shen Tingnian stepped forward to block them without hurrying, "Mama Qi, this master is making trouble, he shouldn't punish the slaves first, kill me with a rod first, and then beat them again." ”

"However, before I die, I still have to see the Queen Mother and her old man, I want to ask her if she can sleep peacefully at night and whether her life is comfortable."

Mama Qi's face remained unchanged, but her eyes sank, "You have a good life, but you came to seek death?" Do you really think that the Queen Mother will not dare to touch you? ”

"Why doesn't she dare, she doesn't move much? Who has a good life, but he is already the queen mother, and he wants to do something that is not in line with his identity, so he is not afraid that one day he will be ridiculed by the world! ”

Shen Tingnian took a step closer, and said in a low voice: "The emperor already knows the truth about the gods. ”

Mama Qi finally changed color, took a step back, glared at her, and before she could speak, Shen Tingnian resumed her normal voice to cut off her words, "Annoyed Mama Qi." ”

At this moment, a eunuch ran out of it, and hurriedly ran to Mama Qi and whispered a few words, the latter twisted his eyebrows, nodded, and said to Shen Tingnian a little unwillingly: "Come in with me." ”

Shen Ting Nian sneered, took two steps, paused again, and turned around and instructed Chen Luo: "Take the four of them back to Yanxi Hall, one of them can't be missing." ”

The four people kneeling on the ground kowtowed in unison when they heard the words, and they couldn't cry, Chen Luo sighed, but he could only listen.

"What the minions saw—that's it." Chen Luo emphatically described Shen Tingnian's menacing posture.

Pu Yangxu raised his forehead after listening, "She has a bigger temper than me, and her mouth is not forgiving." ”

I can probably imagine the scene where the Queen Mother was choked by her and had nothing to say.

"The Wang guards of Ci'an Palace have no words and deeds, and they collide with the honorable position, so they will be transferred to the polo field to feed the horses as a lesson."

"Yes." Chen Luo just greeted the Wang guard who didn't know the height of the sky in his heart, who didn't know the height of the sky, who had to be with Shen Tingnian.

"Hurry up and get ready—" I was late, and I didn't know what to do.

Chen Luo kept up with Pu Yangxu's pace, secretly glad that fortunately there was a Shen Tingnian, Xiao Muzi had secretly told him that the emperor didn't know what news he had read and had been staying in it silently.

It's really scary.

###

Ci'an Palace.

Standing in front of the Queen Mother's dormitory, Shen Tingnian was awake for most of the time, and he was impulsive, but a mouthful of turbid air was too uncomfortable.

Shen Tingnian took a deep breath and calmed down before stepping in, the hall was bright, and there was no place without luxury and solemnity, just like a person sitting upright, silently drinking tea, noble and graceful, calm and waveless, and could not see half a flaw.

Shen Tingnian walked to the middle, there was no one else in the hall, and the Queen Mother who raised her eyes to look at her while closing the lid of the cup, frowned at the straight rude behavior she was standing at the moment.

"It's not good for you to recuperate in Yanxi Hall, and you came to mourn here to go crazy." The Queen Mother didn't have a good color of sneering, "A good life is just done by yourself, and sooner or later you will regret it." ”

What she did when she left the palace reached the Queen Mother so quickly, Shen Tingnian knew that this performance was excessive, and the name of the favorite concubine was not only deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but even the official had to refute it every day. And everyone can only see that she is unscrupulous in her words and deeds, and acts recklessly, and they don't think that the reason why she is like this is because of the emperor's connivance.

They seem to be born to favor men, and the more they magnify her shortcomings, the less they will pay attention to the emperor's mistakes.

There is giving and giving, she gives up her reputation, and it is enough to get what she wants.

"It's not as comfortable as the Queen Mother's life, looking at the good complexion, good spirits, and nourishing medicinal food," Shen Tingnian wanted to scold her in front of her for a long time, so she was full of fire as soon as she opened her mouth, "I have been offering heart nourishing pills every day, and I haven't seen that heart come back and nourish the body with light." ”

The Queen Mother paused, lifted the lid of the cup and took another sip of tea, Shen Tingnian asked again, "As the saying goes, harem women are so affectionate, the Queen Mother wants to be a leader, you sit in this position today, how many heads have you stepped on, how much blood have you dyed, and you have wiped out the love of your husband again and again, and then you will be destroyed if you can't get it?" What is the greatest sorrow in a woman's life? It's just that no one loves it! ”

"Bang!"
