"It's been ten years ago, Erchen has already let go, you can rest assured, Erchen really likes the current Yuexi." Zhao Zheng smiled slightly.

"That's good, if it's okay, you will leave the palace tomorrow, this time it is the mourning family who will bring you into the palace, and I will be relieved after seeing you and He Meimei, and I will be with Yue Xi after I go back...... It's best not to call Yuexi by the name in the future. The Queen Mother said earnestly.

At this time, she hoped that Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi would leave the palace as soon as possible, and she would not hear Zhao Guang's intentional or unintentional rehashing of old things.

"The son listens to his mother, and he will leave for the palace in the afternoon." Zhao Zheng agreed, he really didn't want to stay in the palace, there were many restrictions, and it was not as comfortable as coming from his own palace.

"It's not easy for your royal brother, he has to worry about all the affairs of the people in the world, and he often reviews and reviews late at night, the queen mother is worried, Rao is an iron-beaten person also has a tired time, so if your imperial brother sometimes speaks and stabs your heart, don't remember it in your heart." The Queen Mother said to Zhao Zheng again.

With two sons, she can only persuade peace in the middle.

"Erchen understands what the queen mother means, after so many years, isn't Erchen doing well enough? Erchen has not even investigated Yue Xi's death, and he has been charged with killing Yue Xi by mistake for so many years, hasn't Erchen never complained? Zhao Zheng's tone and expression were still calm, but there was clearly some hidden anger when he said this.

The Queen Mother was shocked, she also knew some rumors about Yue Xi's death that year, and she heard that it was not Zhao Zheng who killed Yue Xi by mistake, but an arrow of unknown origin. I also heard that the arrow of unknown origin was done by a secret killer sent by Zhao Guang, and the reason why he wanted to kill Yue Xi was because he didn't want Yue Ganshi and Zhao Zheng to get close to each other and expand their power.

These rumors are by no means groundless, and the Queen Mother also knows that Zhao Guang has done this kind of thing, but between Zhao Zheng and Zhao Guang, she can't judge a fair, so she just doesn't know about it and never mentions it.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zheng told the matter today.

After the Queen Mother was shocked, she thought about it and had nothing to say, so she had to say vaguely: "You are a sensible child." ”

Sensible. Hearing these two words, Zhao Zheng's smile became even more helpless.

Usually, the one who is most sensible is also the one who is most wronged.

"As the queen mother said, the past is gone, but now this Yuexi, the son will definitely use his life to protect her." Zhao Zheng said softly.

The voice was very soft, but it was like a thunderclap, which exploded in the ears of the Queen Mother. She suddenly realized that this woman, who was given the name Yuexi, could bring great happiness to her son, and she could also bring great disaster to her son.

Inexplicably, the Queen Mother suddenly became a little frightened, she didn't know why she was afraid, but she faintly felt that a disaster was coming.

Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was gloomy, Zhao Zheng got up: "Queen Mother, you rest for a while, and the sons will retire first." ”

After Zhao Zheng left, the room was dead silent. The Queen Mother sat on the couch, holding the stove tightly with both hands, and her face became more and more solemn.

"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" After a while, the old mother on the side asked in a low voice of concern.

The Queen Mother sighed for a long time before she said: "This day, after all, there is no time for calm waves." ”

Zhao Zheng, who returned to the side hall, was also in an unusually heavy mood, and for many years, his feelings for Yue Xi were more mixed with guilt. Yue Xi's death is not clear, but Yue Ganshi persuaded him not to investigate, they all understand who the murderer is behind the scenes, but for the sake of the overall situation, for the stability of the world, they can only let Yue Xi die unjustly.

He Zhao Zheng is not a person who stands up to the sky, which is why he has been depressed for so many years. He couldn't face the retreat he once had.

After that, Yue Ganshi resigned and returned to his hometown, and Zhao Zheng was charged with killing Yue Xi by mistake, and ten years passed in a flash.

And now, God sent Shen Yuexi to him just to give him a chance to forgive his sins. So Shen Yuexi is the person he will do his best to protect no matter what.

Zhao Zheng, who returned to the side hall, hugged Shen Yuexi tightly in his arms without saying a word, Shen Yuexi didn't know what was happening, her face was buried in Zhao Zheng's chest, and she couldn't see Zhao Zheng's sad expression at the moment, she could only hear the sonorous heartbeat on Zhao Zheng's chest.

Zhao Guang was not happy at this time, he didn't want Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi to live like a fairy couple, and he also felt that Zhao Zheng was a wordless provocation to him by moving Yue Xi's name again.

At first, I didn't think so, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt so. That's why he couldn't help mentioning Yue Xi in front of Zhao Zheng, he wanted to provoke Zhao Zheng and see him have a nervous breakdown.

Obviously, Zhao Zheng has been keeping to himself for so many years, but he just feels that Zhao Zheng is an opponent, and there is some kind of conspiracy behind him that he is not aware of.

This kind of thought makes it difficult for him to sleep and eat at every turn.

Sun Delu looked at the emperor's gloomy face, unusual, and didn't dare to say anything, at this time of the emperor, persuasion is useless, in the final analysis, everyone has their own demons, and they rely on themselves to face it and let it go.

"Did something happen?" The side hall of Fushou Palace, hugging each other wordlessly for a while, Shen Yuexi asked softly.

"You don't have to know what's going on, you just have to be by my side." Zhao Zheng replied softly.

Shen Yuexi stopped talking, Zhao Zheng was good to her, she knew.

"The most important thing at the moment is to find out how Chen Lingxiu entered the palace, and tomorrow you will cooperate with me to play a play." After a while, Zhao Zheng said to Shen Yuexi.

Zhao Zheng told Shen Yuexi about his plan, and Shen Yuexi nodded.

The next day, Shen Yuexi and Zhao Zheng had breakfast with the Queen Mother as usual.

The Queen Mother's face was a little indifferent, the language conflict between her two sons yesterday made her heart palpitate, and when she saw Shen Yuexi again, the shadow in her heart poured out, pressing her chest uncomfortably.

Shen Yuexi also noticed the strangeness of the Queen Mother, she no longer looked at herself with a smile, nor did she talk to herself cordially, this change in attitude was too sudden, so that Shen Yuexi realized that something must have happened after she left yesterday.

What happened? Zhao Zheng refused to say, she couldn't ask the Queen Mother, and she was really a little uneasy.

Early in the morning, I ended my breakfast in such a dull atmosphere.

The Queen Mother did not leave Shen Yuexi to talk to her, and Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi returned to the side hall.

Because he was about to leave the palace in the afternoon, the cotton cloak that was sent to the Huanyi Bureau yesterday was delivered in the morning. This cotton cloak was dried by the Huanyi Bureau with charcoal fire overnight, for fear of missing Zhao Qiye's wearing when he left the palace.

Shen Yuexi turned on the cotton cloak and asked the palace maid who came to deliver the cloak: "Is there a silk handkerchief in the inner pocket of the cloak?" ”

The palace maid shook her head a little dazedly, "I only have this cloak when I wash it." ”

Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Zheng.

"Go back and let the mother of the housekeeper of the Huanyi Bureau come to see this king." Zhao Zheng said to the palace maid.

The palace maid didn't know what was going on, but seeing that Zhao was serious, she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly went back to the Huanyi Bureau to find the housekeeper's mother.

"Looks like you've lost something, go check it out." The palace maid whispered to the housekeeper's mother.

The housekeeper's mother frowned, looked at Chen Lingxiu, who was busy on the side, didn't say anything, and hurriedly came to Fushou Palace.

"I gave the seventh prince a hand-embroidered silk handkerchief, the seventh prince is very cherished, has been close to the body, this time into the palace has been put in the inner pocket of the cloak, but it is gone." Shen Yuexi saw the housekeeper's mother and told her about it.

The housekeeper's mother lowered her head, "Wait for the slave to go back and ask Chunlian to see if she has seen her." ”

This cloak went from Shen Yuexi's hand to the Huanyi Bureau, and only passed through Chen Lingxiu's hand in the middle, if something was missing, she must have taken it over there.

"Where does this spring lotus come from?" Zhao Zheng, who had not spoken, opened his mouth to ask the housekeeper's mother.

"Back to the Seventh Prince, Chunlian's real name is He Chunlian, and the list handed over by the Internal Affairs Office is written on the people from Sifang Street in the capital, not long after entering the palace, I didn't expect her to do such a thing." The housekeeper's mother has already regarded Chen Lingxiu as a thief.

Isn't it, a palace maid who has just entered the palace for a short time feels rare when she sees anything, and secretly hides something, this kind of thing is common.

But he didn't want to, Shen Yuexi suddenly screamed in surprise.

The housekeeper's mother looked up and saw Shen Yuexi take out a delicate silk handkerchief from her sleeve pocket.

Shen Yuexi looked at Zhao Zheng, "Look at my foolishness, when did I put the silk handkerchief in my sleeve pocket, I almost wronged a good person, the seventh prince, this silk handkerchief should stay with me, it is not good for the big man to bring a silk handkerchief." ”

Zhao Zheng walked over and took the silk handkerchief from Shen Yuexi's hand, "You embroidered it yourself, this king likes it." ”

The housekeeper's mother lowered her head again and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the silk handkerchief was not lost.

"You go down, don't tell the person named Chunlian about this, lest she feel wronged in her heart." Zhao Zheng instructed the housekeeper's mother.

The housekeeper's mother replied and retreated.

"Sifang Street He Family...... Chen Lingxiu entered the palace with the name of this family, and after leaving the palace, I sent someone to check the details of this family and then make plans. Zhao Zheng whispered to Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi nodded, and then began to take care of her own things, because she didn't bring Zhicui into the palace, she took care of everything by herself.

Zhao Zheng's clothes are also taken care of by her. I folded the board squarely and put it away.

Zhao Zheng looked at Shen Yuexi's busy figure from the side, and felt that she was like a wife, heartwarming and cute.

After cleaning up, Shen Yuexi looked back at Zhao Zheng, "Do we have to finish lunch before leaving?" ”

Zhao Zheng thought about it, and according to the current atmosphere in the palace, it would be useless to stay longer, so he said: "Why don't we go back to the queen mother, let's leave now, it's just a lunch, and it doesn't matter whether we eat or not." ”

Shen Yuexi didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence. There was a subtle change in the atmosphere in the palace, and she was also aware of it, so when she followed Zhao Zheng to bid farewell to the Queen Mother, she didn't say anything, and looked at the Queen Mother quietly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
