At night, the Royal Palace.

On the wall of the East Palace, a black figure jumped back and forth. Deftly avoided the sight of all the guards patrolling back and forth. Like a falcon that blends in with the night.

The figure finally stopped at the main hall of the East Palace. Suddenly, there were three or five rhythmic taps from the window of Prince Shen Xuan's bedroom, and the figure jumped and landed steadily in front of the window.

"No, no, you're here." Shen Xuan in the room was just about to go to bed and fall asleep, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a person sitting on his window frame.

None of them were dressed in black, his long hair fluttered wantonly with the night wind, and his eyes were so deep that almost no one could see the emotion in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it was you who asked me to come over, why didn't you even prepare some wine?" Wuyi smiled, not at all humility when facing the crown prince.

On the contrary, Shen Xuan, as the crown prince, was even a little afraid of him. "This ...... Prince Ben didn't expect you to come so quickly. ”

"After all, it's the prince's request, how dare you not hurry up?" "The prince knows, as long as the price is enough, we can do anything in the Sifang Pavilion." ”

Prince Shen Xuan's eyes rolled, recalling that during the winter hunt last year, Shen Shu alone killed all the four killers sent by the Sifang Pavilion, and since then he began to question the ability of the Sifang Pavilion, but now the most famous killer organization in the rivers and lakes that dares to do anything is only one Sifang Pavilion, and in desperation, Shen Xuan had to fly pigeons to pass the book and hire them again.

"Don't worry about the price, when will this prince be less than you?" Shen Xuan touched his round belly, the meals sent by the dining room tonight were all big fish and meat, and he ate a lot, "But you should also be careful about doing things in the Sifang Pavilion, the four killers can't kill a single person, so they can't help but smash their own signboards." ”

None of his eyes narrowed slightly, smiled and nodded.

Shen Shu's martial arts are certainly strong, but his Sifang Pavilion is not a vegetarian, if it weren't for seeing Shi Qingqian also participate that day, he wouldn't have ordered his subordinates not to kill Shen Shu.

None of them are afraid, Shen Shu means, Shi Qingqian will find his subordinates to fight hard, and it is not just the two lives of the royal family that can be solved.

"Okay, this time, Prince Ben doesn't want you to kill people." Shen Xuan paced to his phoenix wooden shelf full of treasures, and took down a brocade box embroidered with gold thread, "It's just that I asked you to check something for me, this thing is a deposit." ”

Shen Xuan stretched out his hand and threw it, but none of them caught the box he had thrown over, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a Kunlun jade that was white and thorough, with excellent color. This kind of jade is rarely circulated in the market, and it is even more rare to see the color of the gold silk cloth that is so thorough that you can almost see the cushioning.

A piece of jade the size of such a palm is already priceless.

None of them looked at the Kunlun jade, and their hearts were clear. Willing to spend such a large price to check, it seems that Shen Xuan must hate that person in his heart.

"No problem, this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a move, but it was quite generous." Wuyi took out the jade plate and put it into his arms, "So, His Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter?" ”

Shen Xuan's eyes were suddenly shrouded in a layer of gloom, and he didn't know how much anger was hidden in his heart, and the joints of his fingers were pinched because of his unconscious exertion.

"Check it out for me...... What kind of life experience is Shen Shu! ”

In the blink of an eye, it was already late autumn, and after the 'unremitting efforts' of the hundreds of officials of the previous dynasty, Shen Lun finally remembered that there was another prince who was grounded in the East Palace.

Mo Ruan, the prime minister of Mo, is the personal brother of the current queen Mo. He is the most important person in the party that supports the crown prince and the queen, but because of his position under one person and above ten thousand people, he has to be cautious in what he says and does on weekdays.

Although it is often said that the country of Dayu will not be surnamed Shen and changed its surname to Mo after a short time, but the emperor has to be afraid of Mo Ruan.

This time, it was he who took the lead in writing a letter, asking for pardon for the grounding punishment of the crown prince Shen Xuan. Shen Lun was unhappy in his heart, but he was also helpless, so he had to issue an edict to let Shen Xuan regain his free body.

Early this morning, Shen Xuan hurriedly went to Ningshou Palace.

The queen was also punished and grounded and could not leave, although the mother and son both lived in the palace, they had not seen each other for more than half a year.

"The Queen Mother! The retainers have come to see you! ”

When Shen Xuan came in, the queen was lying on her side on the chaise longue without powder, and it was rare to see that she was not wearing jewelry, and she looked a little haggard.

"Xuan, Xuan'er? What are you doing here? The queen sat up in shock, and suddenly saw her own flesh and blood, she was in tears, and hurriedly reached out and pressed Shen Xuan's shoulder, "My Xuan'er, you have lost a lot of weight...... He must have endured a lot of hardships. ”

Shen Xuan knelt in front of the queen and let the queen's hand grope on his shoulder, "Queen Mother, the son-in-law is fine, although he has been grounded in the East Palace these days, the prime minister's uncle has come to see me every once in a while to guide the son-in-law's schoolwork." Now that the ban has been lifted, the sons will work hard to sit back in the Xuanshi Palace! ”

When the queen heard this, she was very relieved, and said in her heart that her Xuan'er could be regarded as grown up and knew what to do.

Mother and son finally met, and the queen had no intention of questioning the killer who appeared inexplicably during the winter hunt last year, anyway, that thing was done by her own Xuan'er, no matter how much she asked, she would not change.

"Xuan'er, you have to remember! You are the prince of Dayu, the future monarch, before you ascend the throne, but you must not act recklessly, something went wrong! The queen spoke seriously, for so long, the only thing she couldn't let go of in her heart was this matter, "If you are reckless, I am afraid that the queen mother and uncle will not be able to protect you!" ”

Shen Xuan didn't nod directly in agreement, but frowned, "But the queen mother...... That quiet ......"

Although he hadn't left the East Palace for a long time, he had heard a lot of rumors. Shen Mi entered the Xuanshi Hall to criticize politics, and his achievements were remarkable, and Shen Lun took him very seriously. He was only afraid that if he didn't use means, the position of the crown prince would be taken away by that Shen Mi.

The queen shook her head, her slender eyes were full of contempt, "Hmph, no matter how good Shen Mi is, his mother is also a concubine with no status, besides, his mother is a concubine, even if the emperor wants to, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not let you go and respect the son of the concubine!" ”

Although Yu Guo is not without precedent for a concubine to succeed to the throne, as long as Mo Ruan is still there, Shen Mi will not want to step on his own Xuan'er and go up.

"Okay, Xuan'er, you are in a hurry, it is definitely not important to compete for the throne now, I want you to concentrate on assisting your father, settle down, at least, let your father see you!" The queen patted Shen Xuan on the shoulder, over and over again, just afraid that he would be rash again.

Shen Xuan was unconvinced, even if Shen Mi could leave it alone for the time being, but Shen Shu, who had caused him to be grounded repeatedly, he must take revenge!

His face was calm, and he bowed his head deeply and said:

"The queen mother can rest assured, the sons know the importance of it......"
