Chapter 319: Accidents in the Palace
Chu Zhan was obviously stunned.
Immediately, his peach blossom eyes flashed slightly, with a smile: "Naturally it's me, if it weren't for that, how could I go to such great lengths to come back to you." β
Shen Shuxing's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, she had no impression of what Chu Zhan said.
However, there was one thing that made her feel extremely confused.
"Come back? Where did you come from? β
Chu Zhan smiled silently.
He made a gesture of "please" and diverted the topic: "Let's go, it's not too early, if what I expected is good, if the concubine is really in trouble, she must have something to do with the Queen Mother, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness King Yi will have to come forward in this matter." β
Shen Shu tightened the Buddha beads in his hand, his expression was solemn, and he knew that this matter was the most important, so he stopped asking about the topic of Fang Cai, and lowered his head and got into the carriage.
*
Because the concubine limit is tomorrow, Shen Shu naturally can't continue to go back to the Zhuangzi of the eldest princess of Yongning, waiting for Queen Yi to pick her up the day after tomorrow.
Yes, she sat directly in the carriage and rushed to the capital with Chu Zhan, who was riding a horse.
In a hurry, the group entered the capital at dusk and when the city gate was closed.
The capital at dusk today seems to be different from ordinary times.
Since entering the city gate, Shen Shu saw through the gauze curtain and saw lights all over the street, which at first glance was a little festive.
It's just that the faces of passers-by don't see much joy.
Not only Shen Shu, but even Chu Zhan, who had been following the carriage, also discovered the strangeness in the city.
"Go and find out what's going on in the capital today." Chu Zhan casually ordered a secret guard.
The secret guard was ordered to retreat, and after a while, he inquired very clearly about today's events.
After Chu Zhan heard this, his brows tightened, and he ordered someone to drive the carriage into the remote alley on the side of the street, and said to Shen Shu through the curtain: "Si Tianjian has set the date for the wedding of the prince and Xiao Qingchu, which will be three days later. β
"Three days later?"
Shen Shu lifted the curtain and asked in surprise: "Although the reputation of the Cheng'en Mansion is damaged now, but it is not convicted, even if you want to marry the East Palace, how can the time be so rushed?" β
Chu Zhan sneered: "This time the prince asked the queen mother to marry Xiao Qingchu, and he was already happy for the emperor, but Si Tianjian calculated that there would be a good day in three days, which would be beneficial to the emperor's dragon body, and the sooner the better." β
These words made Shen Shuxing's eyes narrow slightly.
If it is said that the prince suddenly asked to marry Xiao Qingchu before, it was to reverse the image in the hearts of the courtiers.
But marrying Xiao Qingchu in a hurry so early was definitely not the act of the prince, who has always loved to hide his head and show his tail and reap the benefits.
"What does the prince want to do if he wants to marry Xiao Qingchu in such a hurry?" Shen Shu asked suspiciously.
Chu Zhan's face was a little hit.
"I'll go and investigate this matter, King Yi has a message from you."
After speaking, seeing Shen Shu nodding in response, he immediately turned around and left with his horse.
After he left, Shen Shu thought for a while, and then let the carriage drive directly to Beiya.
When the carriage arrived at Beiya, it was completely dark.
In order not to attract attention, Shen Shu let the carriage stop in the alley on the side and walked towards the North Ya Gate alone.
As soon as she walked to the gate of the North Ya, she saw Twilight and He coming out of the North Ya.
Shen Shu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"Mr. Dusk, can Your Highness be in the yamen?"
When Twilight saw that it was her, her face was full of surprise.
"Aren't you on the Zhuangzi? Why did you suddenly come to Beijing? β
If you listen carefully, you can still hear his voice, which is a little tight.
Shen Shu was inconvenient to talk to him about Concubine Qi, so she had to answer vaguely: "I suddenly remembered something and wanted to tell His Highness, so I came to Beijing." β
This was a mediocre sentence, but when I heard it in Twilight's ears, I couldn't help but think of the girl in front of me holding hands with His Royal Highness King Yi in the palace that day.
He consciously understood Shen Shu's words as: I want Your Highness, so I came to Beijing.
Twilight's expressionless face flashed with an unnaturalness.
He was silent for a few breaths: "Your Royal Highness is taking care of the emperor in the Taiji Hall tonight, and I just entered the palace, if the girl wants to see her, I am afraid that she will have to wait until tomorrow." β
"Tomorrow?" Shen Shu was slightly stunned.
She didn't expect that when she rushed all the way to Beiya, she would pounce.
Even though she can wait until tomorrow, Concubine Qi will have a catastrophe tomorrow, but she can't wait for tomorrow to tell King Yi before making plans.
Shen Shu groaned slightly, and raised her eyes to look at Duhe: "Mr. brought the prescription to Beiya, but has the prescription been restored?" If it recovers, Mr. might as well show me the prescription, let's take advantage of His Highness's night duty and go into the palace to treat the emperor, okay? β
can not only take the opportunity to heal the emperor, but also tell the matter of Concubine Qi to King Yi in person, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Although Shen Shu's thoughts are good, they can be heard in Twilight's ears, but they are like facing a great enemy.
Twilight's face, which had always been expressionless, became a little stiff.
"Prescription...... It will take some time to recover, so the girl might as well go back for the time being, and when His Highness comes to pick you up, there may be one. β
It was rare for him to say so vaguely that Shen Shu immediately noticed that something was wrong.
Shen Shu looked at Twilight in confusion, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
"Sir, today seems to be a little different from usual, but what happened?" She asked tentatively.
"Nothing." Twilight and her face tightened: "Naturally, it's fine, the girl is too worried." It was getting late, so I sent the girl back to the county lord's mansion. β
As he spoke, he took a step to go down the steps.
"I have something important to look for Your Highness, Mr. doesn't have to send me back, I'll go to the palace to find Your Highness."
Shen Shu seemed to have no intention of saying this, but her eyes were fixed on Twilight's reaction.
Sure enoughβ
"No." Twilight hurriedly retracted his steps, and his tense face finally had a suspiciously nervous look.
"His Royal Highness has arrangements in the palace tonight, and if the girl enters the palace, it will be inconvenient. The girl might as well go back early, and stay until tomorrow morning, when His Highness comes out of the palace, I will tell His Highness about the girl's arrival as soon as possible. β
When Shen Shu heard this, her heart sank for no reason.
She only saw the incense ash mark in the center of Concubine Qi's eyebrows in the afternoon.
As Chu Zhan said, there are not many people in this world who dare to touch Concubine Qi, and the Queen Mother is one of them.
At this moment, I heard that Twilight said that King Yi had arrangements in the palace tonight......
Shen Shu couldn't help but think about it less.
Thinking of this, she looked at Twilight and asked, "What is the arrangement of His Highness in the palace?" β
Twilight He's face was hesitant, obviously not intending to reveal it to Shen Shu.
Seeing this, Shen Shu hurriedly said: "I can't hide it, I also have some things here, I'm afraid it has something to do with the palace, I have to tell His Highness in person, if it's late, I'm afraid it will delay the opportunity." β
When Twilight heard her say this, her face instantly became solemn.
He knew that Shen Shu had some skills, and since he said such things, he must have some important information.
So, Twilight and his expression were solemn, and he didn't dare to delay again.
He hesitated for a few moments, and said decisively: "I'll go find clothes for you, and you will go to the palace with me to pretend to be a doctor." β
