The day before the wedding, Yonghe Palace received a congratulatory gift from Langhuan Palace.

In a box of miscellaneous things, there was also a paper kite and a wooden spinning top.

Shen Fengjiu helped Lu Zhaoling bring a message to Bai Heng: "She said, 'The palace is poor, and there is really nothing to give. ’”

"I still owe Zhaoling a birthday gift." Bai Heng stroked the paper kite and said lightly, "Is she okay?" ”

"Okay." Shen Fengjiu replied.

Bai Heng had long been accustomed to Shen Fengjiu's style of speaking, and said to him with a smile: "I've been troublesome with Shen Gongzi these days." ”

"Hmm." Shen Fengjiu responded.

"Will she come tomorrow?"

"No, it won't."

"That's good." Bai Heng smiled sadly.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fengjiu unexpectedly persuaded: "Wedding, be happy." ”

Bai Heng looked at Shen Fengjiu in surprise, and was stunned for a moment before he said, "...... Thanks a lot. ”

"I'll be gone in half a month." Shen Fengjiu said.

Bai Heng touched him and said that he was leaving the palace, and said, "I am in good health, so I don't have anything to trouble my son." I heard that you entered Beijing this time on the orders of your master to meet Princess Tongguang? Is this the end of the matter? ”

"It's coming."

Bai Heng couldn't guess Shen Fengjiu's identity, and he didn't know why he came to Lu Zhaoling, but he knew that this person was credible.

"Shen Gongzi, I have something to ask for." Bai Heng said solemnly.

"Hmm." Shen Fengjiu still responded lightly.

"Do you know that the recent coup d'état in the Ryuk Kingdom is still intended to rebel?"

"Yes." Shen Fengjiu's answer was expected by Bai Heng.

Although the rebellion of the county and the imminent westward expedition of Anping have not yet been made public in the court, Shen Fengjiu seems to know everything.

"My father put Zhaoling under house arrest on the pretext of being suspected of poisoning, but it was actually because of the rebellion of the county. Now that my father has promised, I will marry Li Zhu'er and let Zhaoling go. However, the rebellion of the county is very important, and when the news comes out, the situation is unpredictable, and according to the actions of his father, he may still regret it. Bai Heng said worriedly.

"Hmm." Shen Fengjiu nodded, as if he felt that what Bai Heng said was reasonable.

"Is there a way for Childe to save Zhaoling's life?" Bai Heng asked.

Since Shen Fengjiu entered the palace inexplicably, the emperor has been afraid of him, and he did not put Lu Zhaoling in prison because of Shen Fengjiu's request. Bai Heng didn't know if he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, but he couldn't care about it anymore.

"Heh, that's what I'm here for." Shen Fengjiu actually chuckled and said.

"Tomorrow is the wedding of the third brother." Bai Xi talked with Empress Xu in Kunning Palace at this time.

"Hmph." Empress Xu seemed to be in a bad mood and snorted coldly.

"You use your brain more before doing things in the future, if you really can't figure it out, come and discuss it with me first." Bai Xi had no respect in his words, and sneered and mocked.

"You have a plan and you don't tell me everything, how do I know?" Empress Xu glanced at Bai Heng fiercely.

"Originally, I just wanted to use this matter to cut off the connection between the third brother and the eldest lady of the Li family, and I could also sell General Li a favor. By the way, this handle is kept in our hands, and when there is a chance in the future, it can be used to suppress the third brother. You're good, as soon as you got the news, you ran to tell your father, did you think your father would punish the third brother because of this? Bai Xi spoke unceremoniously to Empress Xu, "It's good now, my father is worried that he can't find an excuse to force the third brother to marry Miss Li, and as soon as this matter comes out, whether the third brother doesn't agree or General Li doesn't agree, it's easy to threaten." ”

"Bai Heng has been sick all day long, and he has not seen the light of day in his Yonghe Palace, he has long been a waste, why is His Majesty still so accommodating to him? It's hateful. Empress Xu said hatefully.

"The third brother is far from being a waste. What's more, the incident of Concubine Lian five years ago made my father always feel ashamed of the third brother in his heart, and it wasn't you who did it? ”

"Concubine Lian couldn't stay back then, Your Majesty wanted to get rid of her a long time ago, but I just borrowed what I did to push the boat." Empress Xu didn't care.

Bai Xi glanced at Empress Xu's fearless stupid appearance, and sneered in his heart.

"I advise you today, my father has been kind enough to you, you had better learn to be more restrained yourself, at least learn to be smarter, and leave a few more ways for yourself. Otherwise, one day my father wants to get rid of you, but no one can keep you. ”

"Bai Xi, don't be too presumptuous in your words!" Empress Xu said angrily.

"Forgive the son for being rude, Queen Mother." Bai Xi smiled sarcastically, got up and took his leave.

When he returned to the Corning Palace, he was still in the study, and a dark shadow appeared quietly near him.

"Your Highness, Empress Xu is running out of energy?" The dark shadow asked.

"Heh, my father has kept Empress Xu for many years, but because her father Prime Minister Xu is in the court, she is simple-minded and easy to control. But in recent years, this woman has become more and more arrogant, stupid and unaware, and prefers to make her own decisions. Her father had long been disgusted with her. Bai Xi said.

"Your Highness, ...... you?"

"Being the adopted son of Queen Xu, it's just that my father is fighting for me to make a beautiful name, not to mention that Concubine Xian is cowardly, it is too difficult to succeed. And the guilt of Empress Xu's own crimes has nothing to do with me. ”

"The emperor intends to help His Royal Highness compete for the crown, why pave the way for the three princes?"

"My father wants us brothers to fight. If the battle for the storage position cannot be won, how will the government and the opposition be controlled and the world in the future? How do you think the Holy One has taken this throne today? ”

The black shadow thought for a while before he spoke: "Then Your Highness, may the emperor have guessed that His Highness poisoned the third prince?" ”

Bai Xi smiled: "My father's methods back then were much more cruel than mine. ”

The black shadow nodded: "The subordinate understands." ”

"It's just that this time Bai Heng is not dead, he was rescued by a Shen Fengjiu from the sky, maybe he made his father look at him highly, thinking that Bai Heng was blessed and seemed to have heavenly help."

"The poison was laid down by his subordinates outside the palace, and it stands to reason that the third prince should have died of poison in the middle of the night, and he never thought that he would survive until the second day. The subordinates used the strange poison of southern Xinjiang, which was poisonous and vicious, but the symptoms of the poison seemed to be infected with wind and cold, and there were no more than ten people in the entire Anping who could recognize it, who expected that Shen Fengjiu would be solved in half an hour. The shadow was still hoarse and slow, but there was a hint of hatred in it.

"Don't you have a clue about Shen Fengjiu's identity?" Bai Xi asked.

"No, the subordinates are incompetent."

"You don't have to blame yourself anymore. This time, the plan was in a hurry, and he didn't expect to get rid of the third brother so easily. Shen Fengjiu is indeed tricky, but I heard that he will leave the palace in less than half a month, so he will plan carefully then. ”

"Yes." Black Shadow Road.

"The third brother will get married tomorrow, how is Sister Zhaoling these days?"

"Shen Fengjiu is often in the Langhuan Palace, and his subordinates rarely have the opportunity to investigate, but according to his subordinates, Princess Tongguang is fine."

"What is this Shen Fengjiu doing lingering in the Langhuan Palace?" Bai Xi seemed a little dissatisfied, "That's it." After tomorrow, the father should be able to lift the ban on the Langhuan Palace. Thinking about it, Sister Zhaoling must be depressed these days, so I have to go to comfort and explain it earlier. ”
