A few hours passed, and it was dusk again.

Shen Shu was by the queen's side, seeing that the incense ash mark on the queen's eyebrows was getting shorter and shorter, and her heart was anxious, but she had no clue about the upcoming crisis.

"Niangniang, you haven't drunk this medicine for a whole day, it's been hot several times, drink it quickly." Gonggong Qi took the medicinal juice that Shen Shu had just warmed, and walked up to the queen to persuade.

The queen shook her head: "Da Lang is suffering inside, how can this palace take medicine." ”

Gonggong Qi wanted to persuade again, but he heard the queen suddenly ask, "Where is King Rui?" The emperor appointed him to escort him, why didn't he see anyone for a day? ”

"Ruiwang is here, you've asked several times."

Gonggong Qi said softly: "The emperor sent General Zhou Zhen Zhou, and His Royal Highness King Rui and General Zhou Zhen are on patrol, and they will be back soon." ”

Shen Shu heard Zhou Zhen's name on the side, and her eyebrows moved slightly.

Zhou Zhen was the commander of the forbidden army appointed by the emperor, and also succeeded Chu Yi in charge of the Northern Ya.

This time the queen came to the imperial mausoleum, and the emperor only assigned Chu Zhan, the king of Rui, and did not let Zhou Zhen accompany him.

And now, Zhou Zhen suddenly appeared in the emperor's mausoleum......

If it's just to catch the "ghost master", kill the chicken with a knife.

Perhaps, Zhou Zhen was sent by the emperor to stop Chu Yi.

I'm afraid that Zhou Zhen didn't catch Chu Yi, come here and wait for the rabbit!

Thinking of this, Shen Shu's heart not only did not relax, but became more and more uneasy.

Calculating the time, it has been almost a day since I left Beijing last night.

Chu Yi was not stopped by Zhou Zhen, but he did not appear in the imperial tomb.

Where exactly did he go?

*

Imperial Mausoleum, Back Mountain, Secret Road.

"Your Highness, this place has been pried open, and it should not take more than two days to see the traces." Shadow Ten pointed to the marks on the stone wall at the entrance of the secret passage and lowered his voice.

Chu Yifeng's eyes were slightly deep, and he looked down at the map in his hand: "This leads to the Tomb Guarding Hall, leave two people to guard at the door, and the rest of the people come with me." ”

After saying this, he put the map in his sleeve and walked into the secret passage first.

In the secret passage, the smell of burning lamp oil wafted.

"The smell is new, someone came not too long ago." Shadow Ten whispered.

Chu Yi raised his hand and motioned for everyone to slow down and walk towards the deepest part of the secret passage......

*

The sun was sinking in the west, the sky was getting dark, and candles were lit everywhere outside the Guardian Hall.

But what's weird is that—

The sleeping hall where the prince rested, but there was no movement at all.

The crowd finally noticed the anomaly.

"Niangniang, we have been here for a day, but the Imperial Doctor Twilight has never come out...... I haven't even used the food, do you want to ...... Send someone in to have a look? ”

Father-in-law Qi asked for instructions, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Shen Shu.

The meaning is already obvious.

Even if he didn't mention it, Shen Shu wanted to go in and see it in person.

It's just that when she saw the incense ash mark on the queen's eyebrows, there was only a very short wisp left......

At this time, Shen Shu would not let the queen out of his sight no matter what.

"It's fine." The queen looked at Shen Shu and was about to nod her head in agreement-

"Whoa......

Suddenly, there was a sound of broken porcelain in the dormitory.

Shen Shu's face changed slightly, and she flashed to the gate of the palace, blocking the queen behind her.

Not only him, but even Chu Zhan rushed to the door of the dormitory with people to protect the queen.

The queen was taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

When she reacted, she frowned and looked at the two people who were on guard in front of the door suspiciously.

Chu Zhan and Shen Shu at the door glanced at each other.

Shen Shu understood, and opened her mouth to call into the hall: "Imperial Doctor Dusk, do you need help?" ”

The hall was silent, and no one answered.

At this point, even if the queen didn't understand what was going on, she could see that something was wrong.

She remembered the prince's safety and urged: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you open the door and go in and take a look. ”

As she spoke, the queen removed the guards who stood in front of her and went to the palace.

Shen Shu dared to let her in, and hurriedly turned around and blocked the door: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid of the epidemic, and the Imperial Doctor and His Royal Highness the Prince have been together for a long time, and it is unknown if they are infected for a while." It's better for the mother to wait outside the door for a while and let the villain go in and have a look. ”

Chu Zhan on the side, hearing this, would not let Shen Shu be in danger alone.

"I'll go in, and you will wait here with your mother."

After saying this, he carried his sword and pushed the door directly into the dormitory.

However, at the moment when Chu Zhan pushed the door open-

Shen Shu keenly smelled a vague smell that floated out from the depths of the main hall.

"Wait!"

Her face changed, she hurriedly turned around, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and ordered the guards next to her: "There are drugs inside, quickly open the doors and windows, disperse the smell, and cover your mouth and nose!" ”

Previously, Shen Shu was treating the emperor in the palace, and he was used to giving orders to the guards.

When she said this, she had a momentum.

The guards wanted to move, but they still remembered that the real leader was Chu Zhan, and when they saw Chu Zhan nodding, they quickly opened all the doors and windows of the hall.

The queen stood outside the door, and when she saw this scene, her phoenix eyes condensed slightly.

She looked at Shen Shu thoughtfully, as if she had discovered something.

The night breeze blew into the main hall, blowing away the smell of the drug.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Save...... Save...... Destiny ......"

A faint cough came from the depths of the dormitory, accompanied by a cry for help.

"It's the Prince's voice."

After Chu Zhan said this, he covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and walked inside.

Shen Shu wanted to keep up, and as soon as she took one step, she thought of the queen's safety and took it back.

However, just as she hesitated-

The queen had already passed her and was heading into the bedchamber.

"Mother, you can't ......"

Shen Shu's face changed, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop in front of the queen.

"With you, what am I afraid of?" The queen looked at her and said, "But I don't feel at ease if I let King Rui go in alone." Even if Da Lang is at fault, he has his own king's law against him, I am Da Lang's mother, and I can't watch him go into danger without help. ”

After saying this, the queen put aside Shen Shu's hand and resolutely walked towards the depths of the dormitory.

Shen Shu was slightly stunned, there was no need to say anything, she already understood that the queen recognized herself.

The queen did not know the past between King Lao Rui and the crown prince.

The crown prince is the queen's biological son, even if the prince commits a great sin, the queen, as a mother, will not easily believe that this is really done by her own children.

In addition, after the incident of the prince, the queen easily attributed the various mistakes made by the prince to the "conspiracy of the old Rui king".

Even Shen Shu couldn't fully trust King Rui's father and son, let alone the queen......

So the queen said that she believed her, not King Rui.

Shen Shu clearly knew that as long as Chu Zhan was inside, even if she told the truth to the queen at the moment-

Before seeing the crown prince with her own eyes, the queen will never wait outside the palace with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Shen Shu settled down and strode towards the queen.

"Niangniang, I'll show you the way, you walk slowly......"
