Twilight, who walked into the study after Shen Shu, heard Chu Yi's words and looked at his serious face, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's only been a few days—

How does he feel, His Highness seems to have changed someone.

Words like this were simply impossible to come out of the mouth of His Highness before.

Not only Twilight, but even Shen Shu was taken aback.

She hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and put her hands behind her back at a loss: "Well, since that's it, that's it, that's it." ”

Chu Yi raised his eyes, his sword eyebrows slightly raised.

"Isn't the girl angry?"

Shen Shu hurriedly shook his head.

She didn't dare to let the dignified king "go to the soup" for her.

In the palace, there is still a fire waiting for him to extinguish.

"Doesn't Your Highness still have to discuss business? Serious matters, serious matters. She said busily.

Chu Yi saw that she was not as angry as before, and it was not at all what he thought before, and he had a different feeling for him-

A hint of helplessness flashed in his phoenix eyes.

Shen Shu avoided his gaze, hurriedly changed the topic, and asked, "Your Highness, will it be dangerous for you to leave the emperor alone in the Taiji Palace?" Although I can see people's longevity, if they suddenly kill the emperor, or the emperor's death, I may not be able to see it within these three days...... Today, Li Yuan made him die, which is a ...... I have never seen before."

"My father will not have to worry about his life."

At the mention of this, Chu Yi reverted back to the cold and serious way he had been in the palace before, and there was even a few hints of anger and sadness between his eyebrows.

"Father should have been prepared, and a few days ago, he handed over the tiger talisman of the 800,000 forbidden army to me."

He said, his voice slightly cold: "Imperial grandmother...... did not kill his father, but there should still be a trace of affection in his heart. Besides, they didn't get the tiger talisman, no matter how powerful the Xiao family is, it is far from the point of covering the sky with one hand in the government and the opposition, if what I expected is good, they will let the imperial brother win the praise of the government and the opposition first, and before that, they will not act rashly. ”

When Shen Shu heard this, she remembered that in the Fuyuan Building before, Chu Zhan had told her: "In the previous life, King Yi died, and although the emperor had a recurrence of his old illness, he was only unconscious. The crown prince was in charge of the country for three years, and it took him until the emperor's funeral ......"

Speaking of which, the "previous life" may also be because of the same reason, the emperor was in a coma for three years before he died.

As for the emperor's final death, was it because he couldn't survive his body, or because of something else...... Only Chu Zhan knew.

Thinking of this, Shen Shu raised her eyes to look at Duihe: "Mr. Dusk...... You said earlier that with the current emperor's illness, he will not live for more than a month, and now the emperor has fallen into a coma, then his illness ......"

Twilight shook her head.

"In the past, it was the poison of the bat bird that induced the appearance of cold disease. Now, I don't know what kind of poison I have fallen into and is unconscious, and it is really hard to say how long the emperor can last. ”

Chu Yi was listening, his phoenix eyes slightly downcast.

He solemnly bowed his hand to the two: "The poison on my father's body has two Lao." I'll take care of the rest. ”

Shen Shu and Duhe hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and replied politely: "Your Highness, rest assured, we will do our best." ”

As soon as the two of them spoke—

The shadow guard knocked on the door and came in, and reported to Chu Yi what happened in the Taiji Hall after they left.

This is the benefit of being in charge of the forbidden army tiger talisman, as long as the forbidden army is there, everything cannot escape Chu Yi's ears and eyes.

The news brought by the shadow guard did not shy away from Shen Shu and Twilight.

When Shen Shu heard that the Queen Mother ordered the forbidden army to bring all those palace maids into the harem for torture, her face changed.

"Not good." Twilight said worriedly: "Since the Queen Mother has ordered that the results of the trial will be found before tomorrow, she must plan to make a fuss about the confessions of those palace maids. When the emperor was unconscious, only the three of us were in the dormitory, if tomorrow above the court, they instigated the palace maids of the Taiji Palace, slandering His Royal Highness for "killing the king", so as to challenge His Royal Highness......

In front of many courtiers, there are many maids in the Taiji Palace, and in order to save their lives, they will bite His Highness to death is the person who poisoned him, and this situation is not easy to break. ”

Shen Shu thought so.

She didn't expect that the Queen Mother would slander King Yi in the Taiji Hall today for "killing the king", and she would instigate the palace maid to testify against King Yi in front of the courtiers tomorrow.

This is to eat King Dingyi in front of the courtiers, and he can't easily use force.

Once force is used, not only will it not be as deterrent as it is today.

On the contrary, it will leave the impression of "violent" in the hearts of the courtiers.

It is more difficult to wash away the suspicion of "killing the king".

The more Shen Shu thought about it, the more disgusted she was with this queen mother who was ruthless and didn't even let go of her own son.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Yi looked at Du He lightly, and said meaningfully: "The reputation of this king is not something that a few palace maids can slander, if they want to slander, they must have a life." ”

When Shen Shu heard this, she raised her eyes to look at him, and persuaded uneasily: "No matter what, Your Highness must hold back and don't use force like today." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yifeng's eyes were slightly raised, and a bright light crossed his eyes.

"Girl, are you worried about me?"

It was just a simple question, but it taught Shen Shu to be slightly stunned.

It's false to say not to worry.

But if you say "worry" to him—

Shen Shu thought of the words that King Yi had said in front of her a few times before.

She intuitively didn't want him to misunderstand, so she hurriedly cleared her throat and said, "I regard His Highness as a friend, so I am naturally worried about His Highness's situation. ”

Saying that, she still didn't think it was enough, looked at Chu Yi and emphasized: "Your Highness, don't think too much, it's really just a friend worrying about a friend." ”

Chu Yi's phoenix eyes lightly swept her unconsciously twisted fingers, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked.

"Okay." He replied in a low voice, "Friends are friends." As long as the girl is happy, I can be anything. ”

Twilight: ......

Shen Shu's face turned red.

Seeing that he was not "serious" again, she hurriedly said: "It's not too early, so I'll go back to the county lord's mansion with Mr. Dusk to study what my grandfather left behind." ”

After saying this, Shen Shu bowed to him, glanced at Twilight, and left the room as if fleeing.

※

Inshou Palace.

Gonggong Tang came out of the Shen Criminal Division, wiped the cold sweat that kept breaking out on his forehead all the way, and returned to Renshou Palace.

He went to change into clean clothes first, got rid of the bloody breath all over his body, and then straightened his face and bowed down and walked into the Buddha hall.

"Mother, it's all right." He said in a low voice: "After Zhou Jinxi took the lead, the rest of the palace maids confessed after not being able to take a few beats in the Shen Punishment Division. There were thirty palace maids in total, and twenty-five were offered, and the remaining five who did not want to spit had already gone to half their lives and would not live until tomorrow morning. ”

The Queen Mother said a faint "um", but her eyes were always on the black and heavy Buddhist beads offered in front of the Buddha shrine.

"You go to the Cheng'en Mansion and tell your brother about it. Tomorrow in the court, I will preemptively strike, so that King Yi has no chance to slander the Chengen Mansion at all. She commanded in a deep voice.

Father-in-law Tang hurriedly said yes, bowed and retreated.

After he left, the Queen Mother muttered to the dark and heavy string of Buddhist beads: "Thirty years ago, it was you." Thirty years later, it was him, and it was you who persecuted me, so I made this decision, and it was all your fault......"
