Mo Xiaohan followed the two to the court, and a group of courtiers had already arrived, all waiting for His Majesty's edict. From a distance, Mo Xiaohan saw that his father was among the hundred officials.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held the clear and dangling holy decree in his hand, and all the ministers in the court knelt on the ground. Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter, and Shen Qiao swaggered in, followed by Shen Qiao's soldiers surrounding the courtiers in the court.

Shen Qiao smiled and said, "Big brother, hand over the holy decree to me, you are all in my hands now." ”

Prince Shen Huan said: "Shen Qiao, do you want to rebel?" ”

Shen Qiao laughed and said, "Big brother, don't say it so ugly, aren't I discussing it with you?" Give me the decree in your hand, and I will not do it to anyone. However, if you insist on refusing to give it to me, I will have to grab it. ”

Shen Xian Jian smiled and said: "Third Highness, if you use this method, even if you grab the throne, the Praetorian Guards of this palace are waiting outside His Majesty's bedroom now." Do you think your soldiers will survive the Praetorian Guard? You may be underestimating His Majesty's Praetorian Guard. ”

Shen Qiao snorted and said, "You lackey, I should have drugged more at the beginning, how could you still talk to me here?" Besides, why should I be so troublesome, as long as I kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and get the edict, the throne will naturally be mine. ”

"That's why I killed Lord Shangshu, in order to leave the prince alone. The abacus is good, but have you forgotten that I have a military talisman in the Yue Wangfu, don't you want to know which soldiers I have in my hand? ”

Shen Qiao trembled slightly, then hurriedly stabilized his body and said, "Impossible, that talisman has long been taken back by my father, how can it be in your hands?" ”

Shen Qianjian said lightly: "Take it back? Do you really believe his nonsense? If it is really reclaimed, how can my father die in vain? Third Highness, I thought you were really smart. ”

This is indeed what he has always wondered, his father has always been cautious, and he has to take on the frame of a Ming Jun, when the prince of Yue died suddenly, his father soon announced that the king of Yue died of a serious illness and suppressed the matter. At that time, he wondered if his father had killed him.

Is it for the talisman?

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and the death of the prince of Yue was urgent and strange.

The prince said: "Third brother, have you forgotten? If you forget, please tell us what happened to the death of Prince Yue. ”

Mo Junyan had already guessed that there would be this day, and since he knew that Shen Xian had suddenly transferred to the prince's camp, he guessed that it might be to find out the death of Prince Yue. It's just that he couldn't guess anyway, but Shen Xian Key wasn't all for this.

Mo Junyan stood up dignifiedly, and arched his hand: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, when Prince Yue died, Weichen was still on the way to Beijing and was not by his side, Weichen only knew. After the prince was gone, Weichen checked the body of the prince, and the prince's heart was pierced by a sharp knife and died of a knife wound. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were taken aback and discussed a lot.

Mo Junyan slowed down and continued: "Wechen heard that at that time, the scholar seemed to be in front of the prince's bed with His Majesty, and Wechen wanted to ask the scholar, why did the prince die of a knife wound, but he claimed an old illness to the public?" ”

The scholar Zhang Lin was already so frightened that he sat down on the ground, the prince waved his hand, and the eunuch beside him went down to the hall, helped Zhang Lin up, and said, "Scholar, the prime minister asked you something." ”

Zhang Lin knelt on the ground again and shouted: "It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me, yes...... It was Your Majesty, it was Your Majesty who killed him. ”

The prince said angrily: "Bold Zhang Lin, dare to blame my father, pull me out and cut it down." ”

That Zhang Lin was almost so frightened that he peed his pants, and denied it again and again: "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen doesn't dare, it's really Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked Prince Yue to hand over the emperor's talisman, and Prince Yue insisted on refusing, so His Majesty killed him with a knife." After killing the prince of Yue, His Majesty ordered me to rummage through the palace, but I couldn't find the talisman. ”

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was shocked when he heard this, and Shen Qiao was also so frightened that he took a step back, could it be that the talisman was really in Shen Qiankey's hands? No way, this is absolutely impossible.

Shen Qiao had heard that the first emperor, who was also Shen Qiao's imperial grandfather, had raised a team of the most sophisticated secret guards in the military aircraft, and only the emperor's talisman could be mobilized. The first emperor once intended to hand over the throne to the prince of Yue, but he was an extremely chic and comfortable person, and would rather be an idle prince than inherit the throne. The first emperor knew that His Majesty, that is, the crown prince at that time, was a calculating person, so he left the military talisman to the prince of Yue, not only that, but also stated in the edict of the prince that no emperor was allowed to interfere with the actions of the secret guard of the military aircraft department, and only the military talisman could be mobilized.

Therefore, this matter has always been a big trouble for His Majesty, and His Majesty once announced that the talisman had been withdrawn after the death of Prince Yue, but he never mobilized that group of secret guards.

Shen Qiao raised the sword in his hand and said excitedly: "You're just delaying time, you haven't even seen your father's face, how can he leave the talisman to you?" You haven't even found a bachelor's degree, how can you possibly find it? ”

Shen Xiankey smiled and took out a golden plaque from his arms, which was carved with a golden dragon ornament and a big 'order' on the front. He shouted loudly and said, "The secret guards listen to the order, take them all down for me." ”

As soon as the order was given, I saw dozens of black-clothed masked guards in armor rushing in, subduing Shen Qiao's government soldiers in three or two clicks, and even Shen Qiao was arrested by the two secret guards.

Shen Qianjian slowly walked down the hall to Shen Qiao's side, patted his face, and said with a smile: "Shen Qiao, I never do things that I am not sure of, if you want to blame you, you can only be blamed for provoking me first." ”

He whispered something in Shen Qiao's ear, and the man was furious and struggled: "Shen Xiankey, I'm going to kill you, Shen Qiankey, you despicable villain." ”

Shen Xian Jian pinched his chin, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Despicable villain? I'm a villain, so it's only your stupidity. ”

After speaking, he shook off Shen Qiao and waved his sleeves and said, "Take them all down and send them to Dali Temple." ”

Shen Xian Jian turned around and knelt on the ground, shouting word by word: "The thieves have been eliminated, the rebellion has been eliminated, please read the edict from the chief eunuch." ”

The eunuch took the edict in Shen Huan's hand, slowly unfolded it, and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Prince Shen Huan, gentle and humble, eloquent and strategic, worthy of a great responsibility, so the crown prince is passed on, and he admires this." ”

The ministers present were still shocked, and at this time, Mo Junyan took the lead and said: "The ministers obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The prince waved his sleeves and said, "Aiqing is flat." ”

Until he returned to the Yue Palace, Mo Xiaohan was still frightened, and he didn't even hear his father call him home when he left the court. Following Shen Qiankey back to the palace, Mo Xiaohan was tired and sleepy, and finally collapsed when he couldn't support it. Shen Xian Jian hurriedly supported him, his eyes were dim, and he said in a low voice: "I have worked hard for you in the past few days." ”

Mo Xiaohan naturally couldn't hear it, and he didn't know whether he was telling Mo Xiaohan or himself.

Mo Xiaohan woke up at noon two days later, he opened his eyes and found that he was lying on the bed in Shen Xiankey's house, his head was in a sharp pain, he rubbed his head, and it took him a long time to wake up.

Looking around, where there was half a person, his stomach made a sound, he touched his stomach, he was so hungry.

got up and wanted to get out of bed to find something to eat, but I saw the little sick seedling push the door in, with a bowl of black decoction in his hand, and the man said, "Awake?" It just so happened that I drank the medicine myself, and I was tired of pouring the medicine on you in the past two days. ”

Mo Xiaohan looked at the person in front of him, no different from before, he even felt that everything that happened that day was a big dream. Shen Xian Jian handed the medicine to him and said, "Drink it quickly, I told you to go to sleep and you don't go, and I want me to serve you if you break your body." ”

This tone, this attitude, is really the same little sick seedling as before.

Mo Xiaohan took the medicine and drank it all, but he almost vomited, retched a few times and finally swallowed it, and his whole face wrinkled together.

"What kind of medicine is this, why is it so bitter?"

Shen Xian Jian said lightly: "The doctor said that adding some coptis can stimulate you to wake up faster, so I added more, it seems to be very effective." ”

He had never heard of Coptis chinensis still waking up, and shouted: "You made it up yourself, you want to take revenge on me, don't you?" ”

Shen Qianjian smiled: "I'm a person who holds grudges, you made me embarrassed in front of Hua Ning that day, how could I easily forget, it's just some coptis chinensis, be careful that I poison you." ”

At the mention of Hua Ning, Mo Xiaohan fell silent, and only said seriously after a moment: "It seems that I was too worried, and I thought that you would seek death because of that incident, you should have told me earlier, at least don't let me worry about you." ”

"It's useless to say it, one more person knows, but one more risk." Shen Xian Jian took the empty bowl in Mo Xiaohan's hand and put it on the table.

What he said was indeed right, in fact, Mo Xiaohan couldn't help at all.

But he still didn't understand, and said, "Why does Shen Huan want to help you?" ”

Shen Xian Jian paused and said, "You don't know, but your father should know that my mother had some relationship with the crown prince's mother." Therefore, I met Shen Huan when I was three or four years old, and we are old friends. ”

"You said the queen mother?"

Shen Qianjian nodded his head with a smile and said, "You really don't know anything, the prince's biological mother is not a queen's mother, his biological mother was originally my mother's maidservant of the county lord of Qingyang." Because the beast admired my mother when he was young, but he couldn't ask for it, he had Shen Huan with his mother's maidservant. Afterwards, he actually left the matter behind, until Shen Huan was five years old, and the matter was poked out.

The beast hated Shen Huan's low status and secretly killed the maidservant, and then my mother begged him to spare Shen Huan's life. The beast threatened my mother with this, and in front of Shen Huan, he defiled my mother. After that, because the queen had no children under her knees, she had the heart to raise Shen Huan. I think Shen Huan should hate him as much as I do, and now that I think about it, I really don't know how he spent so many years by that person's side peacefully. ”

Mo Xiaohan gritted his teeth when he heard this, but it was hard for him to say it so calmly, and he said: "In that case, why did the thief pass on the throne to Shen Huan?" He's not worried? ”

Shen Qianjian smiled: "This is Shen Huan's cleverness, haven't you heard the story of Shen Huan's learning horses?" ”

I heard that when Shen Huan learned to ride a horse, he liked to grab the horse's tail, and once he was kicked by a horse and fell to the ground, and then he fell seriously ill, and only got a little better after a month. The news of this matter was so loud that everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it, and since then it has been regarded as a joke.

"You mean he did it on purpose?"

Shen Xian said: "Yes, he deliberately publicized this matter, and after his illness, he pretended not to have any impression of the previous things. Of course, this alone is not enough, naturally he needs me to help him, as soon as I came back, I stood with Shen Qiao and his party, and Shen Huan did not do anything to me. Only then did the beast believe that Shen Huan really didn't care about my mother's affection before, so he gradually reused him. ”

Mo Xiaohan sighed and said, "The two of you have really been planning for a long time, so how does he know that you are not the son of the Yue Prince?" ”

He shook his head and said: "He didn't know before, including me, he only insisted on checking the blood to identify relatives in order to clear up with me, but who knew that the blood didn't blend at all." He knew what was going on, and I thought I was going to die, so I begged him to spare me. He whispered to comfort me, telling me not to be afraid, and stuffed me with a note, telling me to go and meet him later. I remembered that when I was younger, he brought me delicious food, and I believed him completely.

After that, things are just like you think, everything is done by us, including helping Shen Qiao stabilize the backstage, the two of us fighting openly and secretly, and even I have been poisoned and sick for a long time, in fact, I have never drunk that medicine. It was the harmless medicine that Shen Huan gave me that made me look very weak, but I didn't react at all that day, Hua Ning would drink it, fortunately she was safe, otherwise it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart even if I was cut by a thousand cuts. ”

"How did that talisman end up in your hand? Didn't you say that you didn't even find a bachelor's degree? You weren't born in the palace all the time, how could the prince of Yue hand over the talisman to you? ”

Shen Xianjian smiled: "This is a coincidence. Once, I asked the servants to take out all the books in the study to dry, but they accidentally got a brocade box off the roof. The little guy handed me the brocade box, and I didn't take it seriously at first, because I quarreled with Hua Ning, and I couldn't sleep at night so I studied the brocade box. As a result, the box was not locked at all, but it could not be opened at all, just a small round hole at the top of the box. ”

As he spoke, Shen Xian Jian took out a hairpin from his arms, which was the one he stabbed His Majesty to death that day. He handed the hairpin to Mo Xiaohan and said, "You carefully whisper this hairpin." ”

Mo Xiaohan took the hairpin and looked at it carefully, and found that although the hairpin was extremely thin, it was not flat on it, it was uneven, but it looked like a finely carved key.

Mo Xiao said coldly: "Is it difficult? ”

Shen Xian Jian nodded and said, "This hairpin is a relic left to me by my mother, and my mother told me on her deathbed that unless I starve to death one day, I must not sell this hairpin." But because it was left by my mother, how could I be willing to sell it, it was my hardest days, I would rather compete with wild dogs for food, and I never thought of selling it. Unexpectedly, this hairpin is the key to open the brocade box. As you may have guessed, the talisman was in the brocade box.

I didn't take it seriously when I got the talisman and didn't take it seriously, until Hua Ning left, and I decided to re-implement the plan. Once asked Shen Huan if he knew what this token was, Shen Huan recognized at a glance that this was the emperor's grandfather's secret guard talisman, he had seen the portrait in the library, and there would never be a fake.

It was only then that we decided to induce Shen Qiao to force the palace and take the opportunity to eradicate him by the roots, so as to prevent future troubles. ”

After hearing this, Mo Xiaohan only felt palpitations, and said, "There is one more thing, what did you say to Shen Qiao that day?" ”

"It's nothing," he said lightly, "it's just that I've always asked someone to guard him, and as long as he leaves with the soldiers, I'll slaughter him all over the house." I can only blame him for making a useless struggle when he is dying, and I can blame him for hurting my heart. ”

If this hadn't happened, Mo Xiaohan would have scolded him for being mad, but now he couldn't say anything to accuse him, it was already the best ending, even if there were some impurities in it, there was no need to pursue it.

"What are you going to do after that?"

Shen Xian Key lowered his head, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Naturally, I will continue to look for her, and Shen Huan will also help me." ”

Mo Xiaohan held his hand and said, "I will also help you, little sick seedling, don't worry, I will definitely find her." ”

Shen Xian nodded and said, "I hope." ”
