Song Wenyu was led to the garden by the people in the Runwang Mansion, and the servant stopped at the door, just asking Song Wenyu to go in alone, and even Huairen was blocked out of the door. Song Wenyu glanced into the Huxin Pavilion, and saw Xiao Zhan sitting there with his back to him, just looking at the back, Song Wenyu felt that Xiao Zhan's mood was not very good today.

"You wait for me here", Song Wenyu turned around and comforted Huairen, and then slowly walked towards the Huxin Pavilion. When he entered the pavilion, he found that Xiao Zhan had a chessboard in front of him. Unlike in the past, this is an empty chessboard. And Xiao Zhan was holding a plate of fish food in his hand, "Minister Song Wenyu, please see the prince." ”

In fact, both of them know it. How could a martial arts practitioner like Xiao Zhan not be able to hear the movement behind him. But Xiao Zhan pretended not to know that he was coming, even if Song Wenyu reported to his home, he was not in a hurry to beckon him to sit down.

At this moment, Song Wenyu really felt the disparity in status between the two. Since Xiao Zhan was silent, he had no choice but to continue standing there.

Xiao Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at the fish food that was piled up like a mountain on the plate. He first pinched a small pinch and slowly swayed it into the fish pond, and when the koi fish in the pond were all scrambling, he repeated this action, "I came to you in a hurry today, do you know what it is for?" ”

Song Wenyu was silent and didn't answer, he didn't know whether it was appropriate for him to mention the crown princess in this situation. When Xiao Zhan saw him like this, he spoke again: "It seems that you have guessed something." ”

“…… The minister didn't guess anything, because the connection between the minister and the crown princess had already been severed. ”

"Is that really the case", Xiao Zhan turned his head to look at Song Wenyu, his eyes were cold. Song Wenyu was a little surprised, he had been friends with Xiao Zhan for many years, this was the first time he looked at himself with such cold eyes, "How did this king hear that you went to the Meng Mansion to give gifts a few days ago, and you also met the crown princess in private." ”

Song Wenyu was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, and did not say a word.

"Are you wondering how this king knows?" Xiao Zhan looked at his slightly changing expression and asked unhurriedly. Before the other party could answer, he gave the answer, "This king didn't know at first. I heard the news from the prince's courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. ”

"The Prince's ...... Annex? The more Xiao Zhan said, the more confused Song Wenyu became, "Lord Wang, what the hell is going on." ”

"The prince and the princess broke up unhappily in the courtyard two days ago. Later, the spies came to report, saying that it was because the prince found that the princess seemed to have two hearts, but he didn't find out what was going on. The king felt that this matter was strange, so he made efforts to investigate. I didn't expect it to be related to you. ”

Xiao Zhan said, stood up and walked to the railing, and poured the plate of fish food in his hand into the pond. After that, he took the empty plate and looked down at the koi fish to grab food.

"The prince thinks that the princess has no feelings for you, but the princess flatly denies it."

"Lord, between His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, there is no reluctance, so what is there to talk about?" Song Wenyu responded in a hurried tone.

Xiao Zhan glanced at him coldly, and gently placed the porcelain plate on the table, "Then how do you explain her meeting with you in the Meng Mansion." ”

“…… At that meeting, the subordinates had been standing outside the ear room and had not seen the true face of the crown princess. In this matter, Shen Yu, the maid beside Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, can testify to it. ”

"The bad thing is that there is no one else to testify to except the three of you", Xiao Zhan sighed, he slowly sat down with one hand on the cold stone table, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If it was just this matter, the prince might not be so suspicious of the crown princess." I heard that the crown princess once gave you a piece of white jade mountain, right? ”

"Yes, but on the second day of marriage, His Majesty returned Yushanzi to Zhao."

"Is this white jade mountain really a couple? Only one? Song Wenyu's answer was beyond Xiao Zhan's expectations, he thought about it, and suddenly asked such a sentence.

"Naturally, there is only one", Song Wenyu didn't know why Xiao Zhan asked this question, maybe the problem appeared in the number of Yushanzi, "Lord Wang, is there any connection between this?" ”

Xiao Zhan subconsciously tapped the stone table with his fingers again and again, "This is strange, the prince is sure that this Yushanzi is a pair." He found out the one you had returned from the Great Meng's family, and it was logical that there was one on your side. Plus......" Xiao Zhan lowered his eyes and said meaningfully: "Plus, you have indeed met privately in the Meng Mansion before. Xiao Shuo was mad about this matter. ”

"How could it be ......" For a moment, Song Wenyu's mind was very confused, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. As an official in the same dynasty, although he did not have much contact with the crown prince Xiao Shuo, he could vaguely distinguish his personality.

This person is really affectionate when he is good to you. But if it is gloomy and cruel......

Song Wenyu closed his eyes, and suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart, only then did he open his eyes and look at Xiao Zhan and said: "Lord, how should your subordinates deal with themselves now, but according to the prince's orders." ”

"I didn't ask you to come. It's just that after thinking about it, I feel that it is still necessary to mention you", Xiao Zhan looked at Song Wenyu's calm eyes as always, but there was a little doubt in his heart, "You don't have to do anything now, it is the best policy to respond to all changes without change." What we have finalized before, how to continue to push down, how to continue to push down. This kind of thing will not affect the overall situation. You can understand that the king has said this. ”

"Your Majesty understands", Song Wenyu lowered his head and responded respectfully. Xiao Zhan's words were already so straightforward, how could he not understand.

Xiao Zhan glanced at Song Wenyu deeply, and wanted to say a few more words, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to give up, "Okay, you go back first." ”

"Your Majesty retires." After Song Wenyu replied to such a sentence, he turned around and left Runwangfu.

On the way home, he kept going back and forth over and over again. It all happened so suddenly that he wasn't prepared at all. Seeing that the carriage had stopped at the gate of the Song Mansion, he stood at the door of the house, looked up at the plaque hanging at the main entrance, and was a little undecided for a while, whether to inform Ah Jin of this matter or not.

"Young Master?" Huairen didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't follow Song Wenyu when he was talking to Xiao Zhan, and naturally he didn't know what happened between the crown prince and the crown princess, "Aren't you going in?" ”

Song Wenyu didn't say anything, walked straight in, and walked all the way to the gate of the East Wing, and his footsteps stopped again. It was only at this time that Huairen vaguely noticed Song Wenyu's abnormality. I want to ask, but I don't know how to ask.

The master and servant stood at the gate of the small courtyard for a long time before Song Wenyu gently pushed the door open and walked in. Ah Jin, who was sitting in the room, was busy with his own affairs as usual, and when he looked up and saw Song Wenyu coming in, he was a little surprised, "You came back so soon?" Have you eaten? There's still warm food on the stove, so I'll ask Ah Zhen to bring it to you. ”

As she spoke, she put down the flower scissors in her hand, took the handkerchief on the side and wiped her hands, and then walked to Song Wenyu to untie the cloak for him. Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin concentrating on changing her clothes without saying a word, and suddenly grabbed her hand.

Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, looked up at his eyes, and looked, "What's wrong with you?" Did something happen? ”

Song Wenyu's palms were a little cold, which made Ah Jin tremble. She thought that Song Wenyu was sick, so she was a little anxious to probe Song Wenyu's forehead with the back of her hand, but found that his forehead was also cold.

"Ah Jin, sit with me for a while", Song Wenyu looked at her intently, and suddenly said.

"Okay", Ah Jin nodded, she never knew how to refuse Song Wenyu, not to mention that Song Wenyu was now such a six gods and no master. The two of them held hands and sat down on the soft collapse by the window, and Ah Jin couldn't wait to ask, "What happened?" ”

"Do you remember what I told you before about meeting the crown princess in the Meng Mansion?" Song Wenyu was silent for a long time, and when Ah Jin felt that he couldn't wait, he finally spoke, "I don't know who told me about this matter, but now the prince already knows." ”

Ah Jin was a little puzzled, and looked at Song Wenyu as if he didn't understand, "But so what?" What is the purpose of the whistleblower? This alone doesn't mean anything. ”

"At the beginning, Meng Yidi and I exchanged tokens. What she gave me was a white jade mountain, and what I gave her was a guqin", said, Song Wenyu naturally fell his eyes on the guqin in the corner, "On the second day after I married you, I returned the white jade mountain." I never thought that this white jade mountain would harm her today. ”

"What the hell are you talking about, the more I listen, the more confused I become", Ah Jin was anxious, there were few things in this world that she couldn't understand and couldn't understand. The more this is the case, the more strange this matter reveals, "You returned Yushanzi, she also returned the guqin, what's wrong with doing this thing." ”

"Some people say that the Yushanzi is a couple, and the prince believes it. I decided that the one I returned back was the one she always took with her to solve the lovesickness", Song Wenyu said, lowering her eyes and looking at the hands on her knees, "She is already at a loss." I...... The same is true. ”

“…… Whose handiwork is this, you have eyebrows", after the shock, Ah Jin was the first to calm down. She looked at Song Wenyu, who looked a little decadent, with a complicated expression, and there were too many things she wanted to ask clearly, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask.

Song Wenyu shook his head, took a deep breath and said, "I can't figure it out, I don't have a clue." ”

Ah Jin paced back and forth in the room, analyzing the pros and cons of this matter thoroughly, and then stopped to look at him, "What is the situation of the crown princess now?" ”

"Probably, he is under house arrest in another courtyard", Song Wenyu replied uncertainly: "Now the prince's courtyard is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for anyone to insert eyeliner into it." The crown princess has lived there for more than a month, but the addition of guards in the other courtyard has only happened in the past two days. So I guess the crown princess should have been put under house arrest. ”

With Xiao Shuo's feelings for Meng Yidi, he may be furious, but he may not necessarily embarrass the princess at this time. It's just someone who waits by the side of the crown princess...... Not necessarily", Ah Jin thought so, and suddenly his face turned pale, "Wen Yu, I'm worried about Shen Yu's safety." ”

“…… You should be relieved first, and then be restless. After all, Shen Yu is the one who serves the crown princess, and Shen Yu has always taken care of the crown princess's body. Prince...... Won't be too much. It's just that this flesh and skin suffering, I'm afraid that I will have to suffer a little. ”

Song Wenyu comforted Ah Jin while thinking about countermeasures. After all, Shen Yu can also be regarded as Mrs. Song's life-saving benefactor, and now that the life-saving benefactor is in trouble, he must not sit idly by, not to mention that this matter is also involved with Meng Yidi.

"This matter, we have to find a way to let Xiao Wei Yizheng know", Ah Jin suddenly thought of Wei Lingyun, looked at Song Wenyu with some excitement and said, "He may be able to find out the news of Shen Yu." ”

"Okay, I'll go and inquire, Xiao Wei is on an errand or in the mansion now", Song Wenyu said as he stood up and walked out, even the cloak was hurriedly brought to him by Huairen.

Ah Jin leaned against the door, looking at Song Wenyu's distant back, but the worry in his eyes never opened. Seeing that the people had already walked away, she turned her head sideways and said to Ah Zhen: "Ah Zhen, hurry up and write a letter to Medicine King Gu." Just say that Shen Yu is in trouble, and ask the Medicine King Gu to quickly send someone to the royal capital to support. ”

"The slave knows", Ah Zhen saluted Ah Jin, and went down to do it. Ah Jin glanced up at the clear blue sky, and his brows were even tighter, "Ah Yu, you don't want anything to happen." ”

……

A basin of cold water splashed suddenly, making Shen Yu, who was covered in bruises, tremble. She opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Shuo sitting in front of her, letting the cold water slide down the ends of her hair and drip on her body.

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want the slave to say, the slave really doesn't understand."

Xiao Shuo looked at her hard-mouthed appearance, and was very conflicted. He forcibly suppressed the feeling of irritability in his heart, and looked at Shen Yu who was lying on the ground expressionlessly: "Just say what you know, don't hide anything, it's not good for you." ”

When Shen Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid really didn't hide anything from you. Do you still want your slaves and maids to make up some false charges to attach to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess in order to survive? ”

When Xiao Shuo heard this, he stared at Shen Yu for a long time with slightly squinted eyes, and then slowly spoke: "You are very courageous, and you still want to provoke the palace at this point." ”

"If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse", Shen Yu responded intermittently while struggling to prop up his upper body: "Since Your Highness has already had an idea, it means that in your heart, you have already decided that the crown princess is having an affair with someone else." In this case, no matter what the slave says, it will not satisfy His Highness. ”

"You can see it clearly", Xiao Shuo snorted coldly, "Since it is so transparent, you should know what this palace wants to hear the most." ”

"Your Highness, the slave has already said it. The slave and maid really don't know about the white jade mountain. In the affairs of the Meng Mansion, there is no such thing as a private meeting. When the crown princess met with Doctor Song at that time, one person sat in the ear room, and the other stood outside the ear room with the slave maid, just saying a few words, and nothing else. ”

"So, what about before this", Xiao Shuo asked coldly and suddenly, making Shen Yu stunned. She raised her head to look at Xiao Shuo suspiciously, but saw that the other party was looking at her coldly, "Didn't the two of them meet again before this?" ”

"Your Highness, ......"

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood. Xiao Shuo tortured her, and venting her anger was only one of the reasons. His main purpose was to find out if Song Wenyu and Meng Yidi had been in contact before.

Shen Yu lowered his head, and somehow thought of the time when Song Wenyuan got married. She pursed her lips, subconsciously feeling that she couldn't say anything about it. So she shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know. At least not again when the slaves and maids served. ”

"Okay", after Xiao Shuo heard Shen Yu's answer, although his hanging heart did not completely fall, his tense body had relaxed a little. He stood up, turned and walked out of the torture chamber. did not let the guards continue to torture Shen Yu, nor did they intend to release her.

Shen Yuqiang propped himself up and watched the crimson figure get farther and farther away until it blurred. In the end, she finally collapsed on the cold ground again.

The night, for her, was still long.

……

Meng Yidi sat anxiously in the room, and when she heard the door being pushed open, she immediately stood up and looked out. Seeing that it was Xiao Shuo, she was not surprised.

"Where is Shen Yu?" Seeing Xiao Shuo walking towards her, she was a little scared, but she didn't retreat.

Hearing her ask where Shen Yu was, Xiao Shuo glanced at her meaningfully, and raised his hand to caress her slightly pale cheek, "You are still the same as when I first met you in this palace, always thinking about others. Shouldn't you think about your situation now? Think about how to dissipate the anger of the main palace. ”

"You listen to others, what else can I say?" Meng Yidi felt a pain in his heart, and stubbornly didn't let his tears flow, "I just hope that I won't burden others." Shen Yu is innocent and should not be involved. ”

"She's innocent? The crown princess said this sentence is really interesting, she is innocent, so you are not innocent? As soon as Xiao Shuo's words fell, the hand that was still stroking Meng Yidi's cheek had already held her neck, but he didn't use force.

Meng Yidi looked at her with wide eyes slightly, and after a while, she lowered her eyes again, and asked with a disgraced expression: "Your Highness, is this going to give death to the concubine?" ”

"If it's true, you really deserve to die." Xiao Shuo said hatefully, and when his gaze inadvertently crossed Meng Yidi's bulging lower abdomen, a touch of pain appeared in his eyes. He let go of his hand suddenly, and Meng Yidi staggered back a few steps, and stood still, "From today onwards, you will stay here honestly." No one is allowed to see until the child is born. ”

Meng Yidi listened to Xiao Shuo's words and suddenly burst out laughing. She turned her head to look at Xiao Shuo, letting tears slide down the corners of her eyes, "Your Highness, this is the crime of being a concubine." ”

"Whether you will be convicted of your crimes, or whether someone will wronged you, when this child is born, everything will be known. You, do it yourself. With that, Xiao Shuo brushed his sleeves away, leaving only Meng Yidi sitting alone in the room, "Without the order of the palace, except for you, no one else can go in to serve." ”

Zhu'er, who had been staying outside the door, heard this, but only saluted Xiao Shuo respectfully, and did not say anything else. Xiao Shuo looked at her condescendingly, his eyes were cold, "You should know what to say and what not to say." If the queen mother knew about it...... You know what happened to betraying Hongu. ”

"The slave doesn't dare", Zhu'er responded, her tone was so calm that it was staggering, as if she was not talking to others about her own life and death now.

Seeing Zhu'er answer like this, Xiao Shuo didn't say anything more. It's just that this night, for the first time, he didn't spend the night in the other courtyard, but returned to the East Palace to rest.

……

As soon as Xiao Shuo returned to the palace, the news spread to the side hall of the East Palace where Meng Yihan lived.

Xiao Shuo had a reaction, and he was not surprised. He still avoided her, and she wasn't surprised, as long as everything went as planned.

"Madam, Your Highness has returned to the East Palace", Hongyu pushed the door into the house, and saw that Meng Yihan was trimming the bonsai placed in the room, and knew that she was in a good mood today.

"Well, I see", Meng Yihan single-mindedly pruned the branches and leaves on the bonsai, trying to make it look perfect, "You don't have to check out the movements over there from time to time these days, so as not to notice from His Highness's side." ”

"Yes...... Madam, the slave is worried, after all, this news leaked from us, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inevitably suspect your motives......" Hongyu said the worry in her heart with some hesitation.

"He must have been skeptical. But so what? Meng Yihan glanced back at Hongyu, smiled slightly, and then fell on the bonsai. She looked left and right for a while, and saw that there was no place to put the scissors, so she put the scissors aside, "He hasn't had the heart to think about me yet." Doubt is a seed. Once planted in a person's heart, it will take root and sprout, and it can never be pulled out again. ”

Hongyu hung her head and listened, feeling that Meng Yihan should not be talking about her own situation now, but the one who lives in the courtyard now. Thinking of the big girl who is always kind to people on weekdays, she can't bear it.

"Madame...... What's next? ”

"Do nothing. Wait and see what happens," Meng Yihan said, lowering his eyes to look at the plate of dim sum on the table. She slowly stretched out her hand and pinched a piece into her mouth, chewing it carefully, "Too many movements, but it will be extraneous." ”

"The slave knows," Ruby said, bowing and withdrawing.
