On the second day, there was no news in the capital, and the palace was calm. What happened on the night of the Lunar New Year didn't seem to have attracted the attention of the East Palace, and perhaps, in their opinion, it was just an ordinary provocation by Li Guichen.

"Your Highness, the senior girl is here!"

The squire's voice sounded, and the door of the study was slammed open, and a shadow broke in.

If you look closely, isn't it Shi Caiwei.

"Zhiniang, why are you here?"

Shi Caiwei went out in a hurry, and the beaded flowers on her head were a little crooked, and she rarely had such a panicked time. Hurriedly walked into the study, and when he saw Li Guichen, who was not panicked at all, his face became more and more ugly.

"You are as steady as Mount Tai and don't panic at all!"

Shi Caiwei's red lips were pursed, and she frowned and looked at Li Guichen, her anger constantly accumulating in her heart. Last night's incident, how could he be so reckless, how could he be so ruthless!

"You guys get out."

Her angry voice did not move Li Guichen in the slightest, Li Guichen waved his hand to let the attendant go out and close the door, got up and walked to Shi Caiwei's side, and said with a smile: "Why are you so angry, go and sit first." ”

“……”

Shi Caiwei didn't speak, and sat down silently.

"What's wrong?"

Li Guichen also sat down beside her, holding her hand and asking with a smile.

"What happened last night...... What exactly do you want to do? ”

The smile on Li Guichen's face instantly subsided, he let go of his hand and stood up, and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter." ”

"Fourth Highness!"

Shi Caiwei clenched her fists, stared at Li Guichen, and said sharply, "What are you doing?" Where have you put so many people's lives on it! ”

Li Guichen actually intended to burn Dongcheng in order to create public opinion that Li Fuxian "violated the mandate of heaven". Has the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Dongcheng ever been taken into account by him?

"How did you find out about this?"

Li Guichen didn't answer Shi Caiwei's words, but looked back at her and asked coldly.

This matter, except for the Four Princes' Mansion and the Wen Mansion, should be known to no one else. Moreover, the Wen Mansion did not catch it alive, and they were not sure that he was the one who did it last night. There is no movement in the palace today, so where did Shi Caiwei know about it?

Who else knows but her?

Or who is spreading the word?

"I saw it with my own eyes last night! Others don't recognize Jiang Qianqi, but I do. ”

It is also a coincidence, it was the first day of the new year last night, Shi Caiwei should stay at home and not go anywhere, but she left the house and went to Dongcheng because of a trivial matter, so she saw a tragic fight.

It is Jiang Qianqi and Wei Yufei.

Shi Caiwei recognized Jiang Qianqi but didn't recognize Wei Yufei, and if she hadn't asked the secret guards to cover Jiang Qianqi last night, I'm afraid that the Four Princes' Mansion would have been surrounded by heavy troops today.

Li Guichen believed that Shi Caiwei was not lying to him, but why was she in Dongcheng last night? What a coincidence.

"Why are you in the East Side?"

"Your Highness, are you questioning me?"

Shi Caiwei suddenly became excited, she stood up suddenly, staring at Li Guichen, her eyes were red, "You don't believe me!" ”

“……”

Li Guichen looked at her and suddenly sighed, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just ......"

Several characteristics of the emperor, Li Guichen is not obvious to others, but his suspicion is obvious.

"I went to Dongcheng at 10 pm yesterday afternoon."

This winter is extremely cold, and the poor families in Dongcheng are also extremely difficult, so there is a soup kitchen.

"There are many people in Dongcheng, you shouldn't go."

"Fourth Highness!"

Li Guichen's words completely annoyed Shi Caiwei, and she stared at Li Guichen's eyes full of disappointment.

"Zhiniang, but they are all untouchables. And ......"

"Enough!"

She seemed to endure it to the extreme, and said angrily: "In the eyes of His Highness, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are not worth the great cause of His Highness, and the people of Dongcheng are as cheap as ants, can they be sacrificed at will, right?" ”

If the news of last night's incident spreads, Li Guichen will really lose all the people's hearts. How long can a monarch who is not popular with the people rule long?

"Your Highness, the boat is the people's water, the water can carry the boat and the boat can capsize, no matter what, you shouldn't despise them so much!"

The study suddenly condensed, Li Guichen's face was extremely ugly, what Shi Caiwei said, it was as if he had slapped him in the face a few times, and he didn't give any face.

"Cai Wei, you trespassed."

Li Guichen's tone was also stern, and at this moment Li Guichen was furious, and his words were very polite.

Shi Caiwei's throat was choked in panic, staring at Li Guichen's angry appearance, her heart was extremely uncomfortable, and she was even more full of fire.

She knew that she couldn't persuade Li Guichen.

He was doomed.

"I'm tired."

Li Guichen turned around and didn't look at Shi Caiwei, "Tao Lang, send off." ”

Shi Caiwei took a deep look at Li Guichen's back, and turned around and left without hesitation.

Before leaving the Four Princes' Mansion, she met the palace eunuchs who were hurrying, Shi Caiwei did not stop and went straight back to the Prince's Mansion.

"Miss, you can count it back, Madame is looking for you!"

Before entering Hongxue Building, he entered the Xiaojiao Gate, and was intercepted by the big girl Zao'er next to Mrs. Shi.

"Aunt Zao, what is my mother looking for me?"

"Miss will find out when she goes."

Zao'er smiled silently, "Miss, please." ”

Shi Caiwei had just returned from the Four Princes' Mansion, and she was not in a good mood at all, let alone in the mood to meet her mother, who was not very close.

There was a look of embarrassment on her face, "Aunt Zao, what is the matter?" I still need to see my father, this ......"

"Miss."

Aunt Zao sighed and said, "Madame hasn't seen you for a long time. ”

During the reunion on Chinese New Year's Eve, Mrs. Shi did not leave the yard. Shi Caiwei was in a trance, and after careful calculation, the mother and daughter had not seen each other for more than half a year.

"Aunt Zao, let's go."

It's good to check it out.

Mrs. Shi lives in the Xianglan Courtyard in the deepest part of the Shi's Mansion, and no one will disturb her on weekdays, so she lives so far away just to be quiet.

Outside the pandan garden is a large bamboo forest, through which the quiet path runs through, but fortunately, someone swept it every day, so that the fallen leaves did not drown the path.

Shi Caiwei looked at the well-organized pandan garden and nodded secretly. It seems that the people below are very conscientious, and no one is slacking off.

Who in the capital doesn't envy Mrs. Shi of Shifu, who has such an outstanding daughter, so she can do whatever she wants.

Mrs. Shi has lived in the Buddhist hall for a long time, and people who don't know still think that she is not happy to be a teacher and worship the dynasty, and she is not worthy of her name, but she is just an empty and famous Mrs. Shi. In fact, it is almost the same, over time, people will definitely not be satisfied, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and people's hearts are like this.

If there is no Shi Caiwei, it is true. However, as long as Shi Caiwei is in one day, no one will dare to be disrespectful to Mrs. Shi. This is also an extremely important reason why Mrs. Shi has been so happy all these years.

However, the relationship between Mrs. Shi and Shi Caiwei is not as good as anyone thinks. Mrs. Shi is indifferent to seven emotions and six desires, and naturally she is not so close to Shi Caiwei.

Shi Caiwei thought all the way, and soon arrived at Xianglan Courtyard.

"Madame, Mademoiselle is here."

"Come in."

A gentle voice sounded inside the door, and Zao'er pushed the door open, and the scene in the courtyard came into view.

The snow has not yet melted, and white snow covers most of the place. There are several plum trees planted in the garden, and the cold plum blossoms are blooming, and the branches are hanging with brilliant plum blossoms.

Under the plum tree stood a woman in a green coat and a white cloak, carrying a small flower basket in her hand, which already contained many plucked plum blossoms. There were also a few maids standing on the side, also picking plum blossoms.

"Zhiniang is here."

She turned around and looked at the door, revealing her face, which was five points similar to Shi Caiwei, but a little more elegant than Shi Caiwei, which was the gentleness of years of precipitation.

There was a sense of indifference between her eyebrows, as if the breeze was blowing, and her eyes were clear, like a child. The years seem to favor her extraordinarily, Mrs. Shi is in her thirties, but she still looks like a girl in her twenties.

"Mother."

Looking at Mrs. Shi, Shi Caiwei's heart was a lot lighter, and the depression brought from the Four Princes' Mansion was also swept away.

As long as Mrs. Shi smiled at her, it seemed to drive away all the troubles in her heart.

Every time Shi Caiwei comes to Xianglan Courtyard, she becomes at ease. However, this is also the reason why she is reluctant to come back often.

After staying for a long time, I don't want to leave.

"Let's go inside, it's cold outside."

Mrs. Shi smiled slightly, handed the basket to the next person, and entered the room first. Shi Caiwei followed into the house.

There is floor heating in the house, but it is much warmer.

Before she could sit down, Mrs. Shi asked, "Why did you go to the Four Princes' Mansion in a hurry today?" ”

"Yes...... Last night's affair. ”

Shi Caiwei was stunned for a moment before she said. There are no secrets to Mrs. Shi, you can say anything.

"So, looking at your expression, is it solved?"

"Nope."

Shi Caiwei's good-looking eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gloom, she took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly: "I look down on him." He regards human life as a mustard, not as a king. ”

"What are you going to do next?"

Mrs. Shi did not comment on how Li Guichen was, and asked again.

Li Guichen couldn't hold back and wanted to get into trouble, and his father also chose to support it.

Shi Caiwei's hand holding the tea cup tightened, "They won't succeed." Li Guichen has not yet realized the true strength of his opponent, he is too conceited and doomed. I ......"

Whether to support Li Guichen or leave this already stormy place as soon as possible, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"Twenty-one is your grandfather's seventieth birthday, so you can get up today and go to Yanzhou."

"Mother!"

Shi Caiwei looked at Mrs. Shi in shock, she actually asked her to go back to Yanzhou.

"The capital is in chaos, you should leave early."

"But Yanzhou, you haven't been in touch with Yanzhou for decades...... How to ......"

Mrs. Shi was born in the Bai clan of Yanzhou, but the Bai clan rules prohibit the marriage between the Bai clan and the clan in the capital. Therefore, since Mrs. Shi married into the capital, she has never been in contact with the Bai family.

Now, she's ......
