The palace maid closed the lid of the incense burner and brought the incense stick in a delicate box to Concubine Geng Xian for her to see.

Concubine Geng Xian glanced at it, waved her hand lightly and said, "Let someone send it to the Qianqing Palace tomorrow!" Turning his head to look at the person standing in the shadow of the curtain, his voice was like ice hitting a jade plate, "You don't know, Your Majesty is also afraid of heat to attract mosquitoes, and I'm afraid that I have a headache recently, and I can't eat and sleep well, with this fragrance, I can't say that I can sleep well." ”

"Niangniang's hard work, Your Majesty must know."

These words were like some signal, Concubine Xian's fan suddenly stopped on her chest as if she had pressed the bracket, Concubine Xian lowered her eyes for a moment, and her expression revealed two points of coldness, "Everything is done?" ”

"Yes, right now, Xia Yanfeng's identity has spread throughout the capital."

The corners of Concubine Xian's mouth hooked slightly, and she couldn't hide her happiness, "So, Your Majesty should be angry, right?" No one answered her, she looked up at the silent man in the shadows, "What?" You don't seem to think so? ”

"The slave didn't dare. Mother, the slave is just a little puzzled. Since Niangniang had already expected that His Majesty would definitely send Shen Yue to Shudi, why bother to make trouble at this time? What if His Majesty suspects that this matter is inseparable from Shen Yue and changes his mind? The man in the shadows lowered his voice, but he couldn't hide the doubts in his words.

"You know what?" Concubine Xian snorted, "The more suspicious he is, the more Shen Yue is the best candidate to go south to Shu." In this Shu land, Shen Yue is decided, but how to go is completely different. Wait and see, he will definitely make a big fanfare and let Shen Yue go to Shu in the name of the imperial court and as a friend of Xia Yanfeng, such a notice to the world, if Shen Yue has an accident in the middle, guess what will happen to him? Also, at that time, the relationship between Ye Xinyi and the Xia family will be exposed, wouldn't this drama be even more exciting? ”

At this point, her voice paused, she raised her hand and gently stroked her eyebrows, and the corner of her mouth slowly raised a lonely smile, "It's just, but don't patronize the play, don't forget what you should do, and miss the opportunity." ”

"Niangniang's meaning is understood, and she will immediately send a letter to inform the master, and she will not miss a big event."

"That's good! The plan between this palace and your family master can't make a mistake at this critical moment. Otherwise, ......" Although the latter words were not spoken, the temperature in the water pavilion dropped sharply.

The man in the shadows bowed, "Slave and maid can save it." The tone was full of solemnity, and I didn't dare to ignore it.

Concubine Xian was satisfied, and waved her hand gently, "Go!" ”

The night breeze came slowly, swaying the elegant lotus fragrance of the lake, and in the water pavilion half-covered by the light veil, a figure came out, silently crossing the curved bridge, and submerged into the deep night......

Concubine Xian pinched the fan, turned her head to look at the nothingness in the night, her face half-hidden in the candlelight, and she couldn't see it really.

After a while, she turned her head to look at the incense burner that was still curling white smoke, her eyebrows were raised, revealing two points of disgust, and her voice said coldly, "Go out!" ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Jili actually came to the Shen Mansion on Yuanming Street again.

Seeing him, Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi were not different, Shen Yue glanced at Ye Xinyi silently, and said, "Father-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes and follow you into the palace." After that, he took Ye Xinyi's hand into the room.

After a while, he changed his clothes and came out, and went out with Zhang Jili.

When he arrived in the palace, Emperor Qianhe did not deliberately hang him this time, but had already been waiting in the south study, and after seeing him, he only asked lightly, "Have you heard all the rumors in the market in the past two days?" ”

Shen Yue looked a little uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and then responded, "I heard." ”

"Who do you think got this out of?" Emperor Qianhe asked again.

Shen Yue's eyes were still half-drooping, "I don't know." ”

Emperor Qianhe looked at him for a moment, "Perhaps, you really don't know!" Who knows, General Xia's beloved son has been under my nose for eleven years, but I don't know anything about it, but General Xia may not know. As a father, where can you easily rest assured, even if you send a few people to protect you closely, there are also some. I wanted to find out these people, but they obviously hid better than Xia Gongzi, and I had no choice, so let them go! ”

"It's just that Xia Gongzi was involved in a life lawsuit, or the kind with all the human and material evidence, so come out, in your opinion, how should this case be handled?"

Shen Yue obviously didn't expect Emperor Qianhe to ask him this question, his body shook at the moment, and after a while, he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, I really don't know." ”

Emperor Qianhe was stunned, "I don't know? Didn't you say earlier that you would never kill people based on his temperament, and begged me to let Dali Temple investigate this case thoroughly, so as not to wronged him? Why did it take only two days, I told you to tell you, but you don't know? ”

Shen Yue's voice finally revealed a trace of confusion, "The minister is panicked, at that time...... At that time, the minister didn't know that he was a member of the Xia family, and he talked nonsense, and asked His Majesty for forgiveness. ”

"So, because he's a member of the Xia family, it's different?" Emperor Qianhe muttered as if talking to himself.

Shen Yue was silent, didn't dare to speak, only clenched his fists and lowered his eyes, and the corners of his forehead were tight.

Emperor Qianhe's gaze swept over him, "yes, isn't it different?" It is said that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. But the Xia family is loyal and martyrful, and has helped the daimyo to guard the southern Xinjiang for several generations, not to mention that the people of the southwest treat them like gods, even I and the previous emperors are also very grateful to them. The children of the Xia family, I see it in my eyes, but it is two points more precious than my prince. However, the son of the Xia family was involved in such a lawsuit, and I was really heartbroken, but I was embarrassed. ”

Shen Yue lowered his eyes and breathed deeply, as if he had become a silent shadow.

Emperor Qianhe also seemed to be completely non-existent, his eyes fell on the mottled shadows of the trees reflected in the window screen, and he said slowly in an undulating tone, "I have thought about it again and again, this case involves the son of the Xia family, in the end, I can't wait to ignore it, and I decided to issue an order to let Dali Temple suspend the consideration of this case, or I went to invite General Xia to come to Beijing in person, what to do, we will talk about it at that time." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yue finally reacted, but his body was shocked, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Qianhe, and between his eyebrows, there was a suspicion that could not be hidden.

Please Xia Changhe into Beijing?

Emperor Qianhe looked at the surprise in his eyes lightly, and even hooked the corners of his lips and laughed, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes at all, "It seems that I was also surprised by my decision?" I also thought twice before I made this decision. It's just that General Xia has an important position, and I don't know if I can go away, even if General Xia really wants to enter Beijing, this is not a trivial matter, and I am even more reluctant to give a direct order with a holy decree, which would violate my original intention. Therefore, the best way is to let a proper person go to Shu in person and tell General Xia what I mean. Presumably, General Xia can understand my intentions. It's just that I'm distressed again, who can I entrust to such a big thing? ”
