A slight wind sounded, and Song Zhi turned around vigilantly, only to see Shen Baiyan falling from the sky and landing three steps away from her.

"Miss Song, Concubine Jia, have you been hurt?" Shen Baiyan's gaze fell on Song Zhi's awkward standing posture, and his Adam's apple rolled imperceptibly.

"Miss twisted her foot, but there is no major hindrance." Meteor helped Song Zhi and said in shock.

Shen Baiyan came to stand still in front of Song Zhi, glanced at Concubine Jia again, and said, "The viewing platform in the side corner was broken with an axe when the crowd was evacuating, so it collapsed. Most of the people were unharmed, but Jiang Shi, the side concubine of the Eighth Emperor, died on the spot. ”

"Is it shocking to the emperor? Did the people catch it? Concubine Jia asked hurriedly.

Shen Baiyan said coldly: "The emperor is safe and sound, and he moved to the tent to rest." ”

"The old slave went to serve the saint first." Wei San'er left knowingly.

Shen Baiyan continued: "The person has also been caught, and it is the craftsman who maintains the building on the hunting ground. He calculated the timing, he only had to wait for the twelve princes to return from hunting and walk up to the viewing platform with all the guards, but the viewing platform would collapse if it was overwhelmed. We learned in advance that the termites were strange and he was caught off guard, and this was exposed. ”

His solemn gaze wandered over the lynx's corpse, and he said apologetically, "I didn't expect them to have prepared so many tricks, and the horses Ruohui saw on the mountain were a trick. ”

Song Zhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was actually calculated by Rui Xi! "Isn't there a problem with the horses?"

Shen Baiyan seemed to sense Song Zhi's emotions, and consciously lost his words: "Yes, the horses are not of good character, and they are wild and untamable. But any of the hunters who are not proficient in horsemanship, even if the horses go berserk, at most they are slightly injured. Besides, I, Ruohui, and the Twelve Princes all have their own foals, so how can I use the horses in the paddock? ”

She lowered her eyelashes, hid the surging emotions inside, and said, "Is the son of the Zhou family here?" He is proficient in animal habits, and let him check this lynx, maybe he can find out who is behind it. ”

Shen Baiyan casually pointed to the sky and said, "He's gone." ”

"Who could have done this!?" Shen Ze was almost injured by a bobcat, and he was able to escape again, and the more Concubine Jia thought about it, the more frightened she became. She asked, but she already had someone in her mind.

"Anyone who is interested in a place is possible." Shen Baiyan's thoughts coincided with Song Zhi's.

Concubine Jia felt like a piece of plump fish meat in a trance, surrounded by a group of lynx with golden eyes and fierce eyes, and if she was negligent, she would be devoured.

She couldn't wait to return to the palace, after all, she was sure that she could protect herself and her son there.

……

"The emperor is on fire." Back in the mansion, Lin stroked his chest and still had palpitations and said, "You're not there, you haven't seen the emperor's face." ”

Month by month, he took medicine and wine to Song Zhi and kneaded his ankles, Song Zhi's pain was relieved a lot, and he was also in the mood to talk to Lin: "After the winter hunt, it is the New Year's Festival, and if something like this happens, it is so unlucky, no wonder the emperor is angry." ”

"But you can't just punish the twelve princes to the kneeling temple without asking." The twelve princes are as big as Song Ling, and the Lin family is heart-to-heart. "These things don't seem to be done by the Twelve Princes, who will rush to make trouble for themselves?"

Lin's words are unreasonable and reasonable, but if they make sense, they are unreasonable.

Song Zhi glanced at the closed door, "Mother, what this means is that you don't show half of it outside." ”

"I know, my mother is not stupid." Lin sprinkled a little pearl powder on the tip of his tongue, washed it with ginseng tea, and said.

"I've heard from my brother that the Twelve Princes have become quite xenophobic since they officially took over the Winter Hunt. It is difficult for the elder brother and the prince to help, so they can only be vigilant on the day of the winter hunt, to put it bluntly, the royal family is suspicious, even if they are temporary allies, they can't believe it. Song Zhi whispered.

"You! You can't leak out what you say! Lin was taken aback by Song Zhi's straightforward disrespectful words, and fed her a mouthful of ginseng tea stiffly, so that she would stop talking.

Song Zhi would not drink ginseng tea unless necessary, and immediately wrinkled his face, like a wrinkled dried walnut.

"What an ugly look you are." Lin quipped.

Song Zhi only told her that she accidentally sprained her foot, and she didn't mention anything like being broken by someone, lynx hurting people, etc.

Lin only sighed that Jiang Rou was unlucky, thinking that the disaster had not come to his family!

Song Ling didn't return all night, and didn't come back until the afternoon of the fourth day, and fell asleep after taking a strong mental bath, and didn't sleep until dinner, and chewed a bowl of beef noodle soup that Song Zhi sent him like a wolf, which can be regarded as enough to nourish his spirit.

Song Ling is still Song Ling, in just three days, his appearance has naturally not changed, just. There seemed to be something missing on his body, and something more, Song Zhi noticed it, but he couldn't tell it.

"Brother, can you find out the matter?" Song Zhi's silk handkerchief was pinched into a ball by her brother and wiped her mouth indiscriminately, she didn't care, but the water chestnut looked at the orchid petals on the silk handkerchief stained with oil stains, and pouted her lips quite distressedly, Song Zhi nodded at the water chestnut, and the water chestnut went out obediently.

"No matter how delicate you are, there will be omissions in the end, and some people came out after checking, and they were all handed over to the emperor. As for how to deal with it, it's not up to me and Jing Yu to manage. Song Ling didn't seem to want to mention this matter, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.

Song Zhi showed a puzzled look, "Does the emperor still plan to connive?" It's also weird. ”

"Although the emperor has had many princes, but the early death, the death of illness, the martyrdom of the country, the stubborn stubbornness, the young young. Only the eighth prince and the twelfth prince can barely get on the stage, and the eighth prince has a new son, although he is a concubine, but he is also the only grandson of the emperor at present. How can they be moved? Hmph, how can he make the country unstable? Falling into the hands of others? Song Ling has been tortured to extract confessions in the past few hours, and there is a lot of blood on her hands.

When he saw Song Zhi stunned, he realized a little gaffe, "I'm sorry, my brother's heart is a little blocked." ”

"There is always nothing to be done about weapons in the hands of people." Song Zhi came back to his senses, patted the back of Song Ling's hand, and said clearly.

Song Ling let out a sigh of relief, and said in a somewhat depressed voice: "Three days ago, the craftsman who led termites to build a nest in the bottom pillar was bought by Fan Feizhi's men, and when I found his house, the silver taels I got were still untouched. Their entire families were killed, from old women to children. ”

He paused, looked at Song Zhi, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer of unknown meaning, "The emperor instructed, my hand." ”

Song Zhi was speechless, and he didn't know what to say to comfort his brother.

"Jing Yu wasn't such a cold temperament when he was young," Song Ling suddenly said to the side, "He had blood on his hands much earlier than me, and if I were him, my temperament would probably become like this." ”

Shen Baiyan's calm and waveless eyes flashed in front of Song Zhi's eyes, and she didn't have time to think about it, she heard Song Ling say: "The matter of the lynx seems to be an accident, the fish soup is often eaten by the seventeenth prince, and everyone in the palace knows it, but it is not a secret." As for the lynx, it was indeed raised by someone and was dug up by Zhou Du, but when he arrived, the person had already become a corpse. According to his description, the killer is the person next to the Eighth Prince, this person is now in the hands of the emperor, and we have no right to intervene. ”

"Where is the boy?" Song Zhi asked with a hanging heart. "He's innocent after all."

"I don't know." Song Ling said with a little confusion, "It's Jing Yu's hand." His eyes were blank and misty, as if he was thinking of something he had never seen somewhere in the distance.

……

Wei San'er grew up with Emperor Shun'an, and now that he is getting older, he usually accompanies Emperor Shun'an to talk.

Every month, Wei San'er has two days to go out of the palace and live in his own house for one night, drink wine, and watch the singer and Maiko show off their coquettishness, he offered most of his life and ancestral incense, only to get such a little benefit, Wei San'er is really unwilling!

"I didn't expect the emperor to hit me by mistake, but I picked a very special girl for you." Wei San'er touched a full pile of golden beans and said with satisfaction.

He took the golden beans one by one in his mouth and licked them one by one with the tip of his tongue, as if he were holding jelly beans.

"Ahem!" This picture is really disgusting, Su Zheng coughed warningly.

Shen Baiyan played with a thin dagger in his hand, and didn't even give Wei San'er a little afterglow.

Wei San'er was not annoyed, he smiled so much that his facial features were crowded together, and he couldn't see it, only the wrinkles on his face remained, "The eighth prince shouted in front of the emperor, saying that if he did it himself, how could it be that no one died, and only lost a side concubine?" He actually spoke for the twelve princes, but the old slave didn't understand. ”

"Concubine Jia was frightened, so she received a lot of favor from the emperor, and she was constantly rewarded and called every day." He had seen Shen Baiyan many times, and he knew what he wanted to know without Shen Baiyan asking.

Wei San'er continued: "It's just that the emperor feels that the seventeenth prince is getting older, and he is not in line with the rules in the palace of Concubine Jia. I went to see the Empress Dowager before, and the tenth princess was about to pass through the door soon, and the Empress Dowager was lonely on her knees, and wanted to move the prince to the Empress Dowager's palace. ”

I see. Shen Baiyan quietly retracted the dagger into his sleeve, and said in his heart, "The winter hunting situation is messy and full of flaws, not to ask for his life, but to make the old emperor suspicious." The more he put the truth in front of the old emperor, the more he didn't believe it, and with his temperament, he would suspect that Concubine Jia was trying to frame the eighth prince and the twelfth prince, just to pave the way for Shen Ze. Perhaps, he will be suspicious of the child because the water chestnut rescued Shen Ze. ’
