Chu Zhan directly invited Shen Shu into the upper room.

Walking all the way into the house from the vermilion door, Shen Shu finally confirmed that the medicinal fragrance she smelled outside the door earlier was not an illusion, but a real one.

The last time I came, the red, green, and green flowers in the yard had bloomed a little, and it seemed that no one took care of them, and let them wither.

Under the porch is a red clay stove, on which a soothing decoction is fried.

Shen Shu was in the upper room, smelling the bursts of medicinal fragrance wafting from under the porch, and a feeling of "suddenly separated from the world" rose inexplicably in her heart.

Chu Zhan took out the armchair under the bookcase and invited her to sit down.

And himself, without saying a word, took out a Supa from his sleeve pocket, unfolded it, and put it in front of Shen Shu.

Shen Shu was originally full of questions, but before she could ask, she was attracted by that Fang Supa.

To be precise, it was not a Supa, but a map painted on a plain white silk.

Shen Shu took a cursory look-

On the map, it is not mountains, rivers and lakes that are depicted.

And like the structure of a palace.

It's just that the palace is different from ordinary palaces, and it is full of strangeness.

Shen Shu raised her eyes suspiciously, looked at Chu Zhan and asked, "...... is this?"

"Structural diagram of the mausoleum of the first emperor." Chu Zhan replied solemnly.

！！！

Shen Shu's pupils suddenly constricted.

The structural diagram of the imperial tomb is not available to ordinary people.

Chu Zhan not only got it, but also showed it to her so suddenly-

Shen Shu stood up and retreated far away.

She is not afraid of death, but there is no reason to rush to die.

"Tsk......"

Seeing this, Chu Zhan sneered: "You dare to help King Yi fight against the Queen Mother and the Chengen Mansion, I thought you were so bold, how could you be scared like this when you saw the map of the Emperor's Tomb?" ”

The emperor's coma has now spread throughout the court and the opposition.

Although Chu Zhan is an idle prince who has never been in court, he must know it.

But what you know is what you know.

To be able to guess that there is her handwriting is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

"How do you know I'm doing something for King Yi?" Shen Shu asked warily.

Chu Zhan smiled with a sigh: "King Yi has always been able to act without moving his mouth, and with his temperament, he will never make such a big move on the shore of Bibo Lake." After thinking about it, now the only one who can direct the shadow guards of the Yi Palace, except for the Yi King, is you. ”

Although this was the truth, for some reason, it made Shen Shu's heart a little uncomfortable.

It sounds like there's something between her and King Yi.

Shen Shu's eyes flickered, and he looked left and said to him: "You show me that, what the hell do you want to fight?" ”

Seeing this, Chu Zhan didn't break it: "You...... I didn't believe it anymore. ”

"You've been keeping it secretive, and it's hard to be trusted." Shen Shu said without hesitation.

Chu Zhan clasped his hands around his chest, leaned on the bookcase casually, and looked at Shen Shu's eyes with a pair of peach blossom eyes: "Although there are some things that I can't tell you yet, I have never lied to you, yes or no?" ”

Shen Shu was slightly stunned.

She thought about it carefully, and it was true that as Chu Zhan said, he had never deceived her.

Chu Zhan looked at her stunned appearance and chuckled unconsciously.

"When you come to me, you must have many questions to ask, and you must ask, but whatever I know, I must know everything, and I will say everything."

Shen Shu saw that he didn't explain the matter of the emperor's mausoleum, but asked her to ask questions.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked directly: "You once said that the emperor in his previous life was in a coma for three years, do you know what poison he was in?" Who's the hand? How to renew your life? ”

Chu Zhan's expression was slightly stunned.

Immediately, the corners of his lips hooked up with a wry smile: "I thought that I could hide it for a while, but I didn't expect it...... You're smarter than I thought. ”

Shen Shuxing's eyes narrowed slightly.

It's not that she's smart, it's that her third brother is smart.

If it weren't for the fact that the third brother had keenly grasped the loophole of the emperor's coma in the previous life after listening to her relay Chu Zhan's words, she would not have found it, let alone come to him so quickly.

"What is it that you have to hide from me?" Shen Shu said in a deep voice: "You saved my life in Yunjiang, I really don't want to speculate about your character, if you continue to cover it up today, I will never come to you again." ”

The smile on the corner of Chu Zhan's lips stiffened slightly.

He looked at Shen Shu and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "The emperor's illness starts from thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, the emperor was poisoned by a bat bird in the Valley of the Medicine King, and thanks to the antidote sac given to him by Bai Xin before leaving, he barely saved his life. It's just that on the way back to Beijing, the emperor gradually fell into a coma, and as a last resort, the queen mother made the decision and ordered Li Weizhong, the envoy of the imperial hospital at that time, to use secret medicine for the emperor. ”

"Secret medicine? What secret medicine? Shen Shu hurriedly asked.

Chu Zhan shook his head: "I don't know what kind of secret medicine it is, the Queen Mother only said that it was a prescription left by Bai Xin, but later after I verified, the prescription was not left by Bai Xin, but from the Cheng'en Mansion." ”

"Cheng'en Mansion?" Shen Shu frowned slightly: "The poison of the bat bird is almost incurable, the emperor has not only been detoxified, but also lived without illness and pain for a full thirty years...... Could it be the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Soup? But how could the Cheng'en Mansion have a nine-turn soul rejuvenation soup? ”

"Definitely." Chu Zhan replied firmly: "The Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Soup is definitely not in their hands, in fact, the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Soup has always been in the Emperor's Mausoleum, and it was personally put in by the first emperor before his death, and it has never been taken out. ”

He said, looking at Shen Shu: "That prescription is the prescription that Bai Yi left for the Chengen Mansion." ”

"Bai Yi?!" Shen Shu exclaimed in surprise: "How can Bai Yi have anything to do with the Chengen Mansion?!" ”

"I don't know much about the matter between Bai Yi and the Chengen Mansion."

Chu Zhanyi pointed out: "I only know the emperor's illness, although there is no major problem in the past thirty years, if he is poisoned by the bat bird again, the poison will recur and his life will be in danger."

In the previous life, the prince knew the secret, he set up a game in Yunjiang early in the morning, caught the person who could renew the emperor's life for a short time, and sent people to ignite the poison of the bat bird in the Taiji Palace, which allowed the emperor to live for three more years in the 'previous life'. ”

When Shen Shu heard this, her pupils suddenly constricted.

The third brother had already guessed that the emperor in the previous life had not been reminded by Chu Zhan, and the poisonous gas he inhaled must have been several times that of this life.

His illness will certainly be much worse than in this life.

Therefore, if you want the emperor to "live", finding someone who can continue his life is the key.

And the one who can continue his life......

"The prince is in Yunjiang, who is the last person to be captured back in the capital?" Shen Shu asked with bated breath.

Chu Zhan looked at her: "It's your brother, Shen Jinming." ”

Shen Shu staggered two steps abruptly: "No, it's impossible." My brother is already suffering from dementia, so why didn't they look for me? Why ......"

"Of course they want to look for you, but you were hidden by your father, and after the accident in your Shen family, my mother sent someone to take you back to the capital overnight and let you stay incognito......

Speaking of this, Chu Zhan couldn't stop, looking at Shen Shu with a pair of peach blossom eyes, his clear but haggard face, and a few wry smiles.

"My mother brought you back, not to protect you, but to take advantage of you...... Avenge her, she withheld the news of your brother's capture by the crown prince until your brother's death. In my previous life, the Rui Palace's Mansion used you very thoroughly, which is the last thing I want you to know in this life...... Unexpectedly, in order to make you believe me unreservedly in the future, I actually said it myself......"
