Chai Yutu was blinded by this slap, his ears were buzzing, his fair face was imprinted with a clear red handprint, and his beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.

Zhang Meiren, who was on bed rest, didn't understand what was going on, even though it was what she wanted to happen the most, and it was the ultimate goal of the planning she had racked her brains for months. Such a beautiful scenery suddenly happened in front of her eyes, and it started with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson who found a picture scroll under her jade pillow, and his face changed greatly after reading it. Can someone come out and tell her why?

After Zhu Yunwen slapped this slap, he still couldn't understand his hatred, and grabbed the incense burner on the table and threw it at Chai Yutu.

A furnace of burning white sandalwood powder was sprinkled on her chest, burning through two layers of gauze, Chai Yutu bit her lip in pain, neither dared to pat off the incense ash, nor dared to ask Zhu Yunwen the reason for her anger, so she could only take off her hair and the gold ornaments on her hands, and kneel down straight to plead guilty.

But she really didn't understand, what crime had she committed? Although she has done a lot of things behind Zhu Yunwen's back, it is just a private fight between some women, and she has not violated the authority of the emperor's eldest grandson, even if it is exposed, she should not be treated like this! Zhu Yunwen had never hit her before, this was the first time, and the wrath of thunder was not something anyone could bear.

But an uninteresting person walked in, the wrinkled gauze skirt with a high neckline floated in silently, looking up along the skirt, Chai Yutu saw a pair of mocking eyes, and his ridiculous image was reflected in the clear waves.

Zhu Yunwen glanced back at He Angelica, identified as a "useful person", and reason immediately found him. He closed his eyes and inhaled, then gently exhaled the turbid air, and when he opened his eyes again, his usual smile appeared on his face again, and he asked kindly, "Cousin, has you had breakfast?" Are you still used to living in the East Palace? ”

"Thank you for the care, everything was fine. Inheriting His Royal Highness's trust, let me give birth to Sister Zhang, I didn't dare to slack off, and came to the follow-up as soon as I had breakfast. He Angelica bypassed the ground that stained the incense ash, sat down on the brocade at the head of Zhang Meiren's bed, and coughed lightly, "But it seems to be ...... here It's very lively, is it too unfortunate that I came. ”

Of course, Zhu Yunwen has not forgotten the relationship between He Angelica and Chai Yutu, or it can be called the relationship he took for granted, good sister.

He Angelica's face can't help but sell, Zhu Yunwen smiled and explained: "I usually don't act rough with women, probably because of the hangover last night that is playing ghosts, so-" His gaze fell on Chai Yutu, so cold that he could fall out of the ice slag, moving the corners of his lips, and his voice was not like coming out of his mouth, "I heard that the county lord's cousin has no father or mother since she was a child, and she lacks discipline, so I'm afraid that the county lord will bother to teach her 'women's virtues'." If there is something else in this palace, I will not disturb your sisters to talk and say goodbye! ”

"Walk slowly." He Angelica said anti-guest-oriented.

Until Zhu Yunwen walked out of the second door, Chai Yutu still maintained his original posture and knelt on the ground in a daze. The eldest grandson of the emperor accused her of violating women's morality? Could it be that "that thing" was exposed?

No, absolutely impossible! That shameless person had already died, and the people she sent to Yangzhou clearly confirmed this. And the cicada clothes who helped her hide from the world and spend the night with Zhu Yunwen also pushed into the well and drowned two months ago, and there is no living insider in this world!

Chai Yutu broke out in a cold sweat, persuading himself not to mess with himself, if Zhu Yunwen found out her secret, it would not be as simple as a slap. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the painting scroll rolling down on the ground, is this the reason why Zhu Yunwen is angry?

She shook her hand to grasp the painting, the gem-encrusted gold armor had all peeled off in the collision just now, and the long nails that had been carefully raised for a long time were broken at the root, more fragile than the grace and glory of her body. Unfolding the scroll, Chai Yutu found that this was not the one she gave to He Angelica, although the brushwork was the same, but the face of the key person in the painting changed from Zhang Meiren's round face to her goose egg face.

In just one night, where did He Angelica get such a painting? Chai Yutu looked up at the culprit in horror, who winked playfully at her.

Chai Yutu only felt that the blood in his whole body rushed to his brain in an instant, and all the humiliations he had suffered in the past three years added up to the catastrophe brought about by the failure at this moment. She resolutely refused to admit that He Angelica ruined her with just a small action, and her control over Zhu Yunwen was more than that!

Picking up the painting and getting up, Chai Yutu ran to chase Zhu Yunwen, who was far away, and cried in his mouth: "The concubine is wronged, the concubine was framed!" His Royal Highness Mingjian, this is just an ordinary bathing picture, that's all, and the concubine doesn't understand why it appears on Zhang Meiren's bed. How could His Highness doubt the integrity of a concubine based on just a painting? ”

Zhu Yunwen in front of him paused, half-tilted his face, and asked gloomily: "Who told you that this painting was found from Zhang Meiren's bed?" I don't remember that your person was in this courtyard when I found the painting. ”

Chai Yutu's eyes widened, and she couldn't think of words to remedy her gaffe, yes, she shouldn't know where the painting came from.

"You said that someone framed you," Zhu Yunwen smiled coldly, "Unfortunately, I also know the person who painted the painting, and I will never mistake his handwriting." Could it be that you mean that the person made this picture of a beautiful woman bathing in order to frame you? ”

This is the only chance to turn over, Chai Yutu said regardless of it: "That's the case, everything is the artist's fault, I want to confront him face to face and prove my innocence!" ”

Zhu Yunwen's reply to her was a backhand slap and walked away without hesitation.

"Sister Chai! We're having tea, would you like to join us? ”

He Angelica and Zhang Meiren in the house gathered around the tea stove, and used a small silver handle to divide the tea leaves into the porcelain cup, and the Junshan silver needle with a deep aroma. He Angelica also prepared a cup for Chai Yutu, but the tea leaves were two bitter dices, which could fit her mood. Zhang Meiren wanted to laugh while trying to maintain her dignity, and this entanglement flashed alternately on her plump face.

Chai Yutu turned his head slowly, a drop of nosebleed fell on the edge of his upper lip, his expression was numb, and he couldn't smell the curling tea fragrance on the other side.

※※※

Zhu Yunwen walked to the outer courtyard with anger, and asked Peng Shi angrily: "How is the situation in the palace?" Why didn't there be a new preacher all night? ”

Peng Shi took off his military uniform, his navy blue robe was stained with morning dew, he held an amber craft flower with a missing petal, and said respectfully: "If the minister's expectation is right, someone from the vassal king controls the Imperial Forest Army, intending to force the palace and force the emperor to give him the throne when he is at his weakest." What's even worse is that their people have cleaned the palace ban and cut off our ears and eyes. As a last resort, the only way to do it is to come hard, and the minister needs to mobilize the full power of the East Palace Praetorian Guard. ”

The amber flower in Peng Shi's hand is the Praetorian Guard talisman, but the most critical flower is still in Zhu Yunwen's hand.

Zhu Yunwen frowned, stared at Peng Shi, and asked word by word: "Who?" Someone among the vassal kings? There are twenty-five uncles in this palace, who are you referring to? ”

Peng Shi hesitated, lowered his head and said: "The emperor intended you to be the heir two years ago, and now there is a person who intends to commit a great rebellion, and may even become a son who kills his father, how can he do it without soldiers in his hands?" ”

The vassal king, who had soldiers in his hands, suddenly narrowed down the scope. If even Zhu Yunwen's cousin, Zhu Zanyi, the king of Jingjiang, is counted, there are only three of them, and the rest of the vassal kings have no more than 1,000 cavalry, so they can't pose a threat. Zhu Yunwen's face sank, and two names popped out between his teeth: "Zhu Di, Zhu Quan." ”

Peng Shi nodded.

Zhu Yunwen took out the amber petals that Peng Shi asked for from the jade box he carried, and when he was about to hand them to him, his fingers suddenly shrank, and he asked, "Fourth Uncle Zhu Di is not in the capital?" What about Zhu Quan? ”

Peng Shi's emotionless black eyes stared at the petals, and reported straightforwardly: "Ning King Zhu Quan is now in the capital, although half of the Royal Forest Army belongs to King Yan, but the other half was once under the control of King Jin, after the death of King Jin, they are ownerless wild dogs, and anyone can become their new master." The minister heard that in the battle of Huzhou to suppress the rebellion, King Ning personally cut off the head of the fake king of Jin. ”

Zhu Yunwen asked again: "Zhu Quan doesn't have a mansion in the capital, where does he live?" ”

"Mengfu," replied Peng Shi, "King Ning was kindly invited by the Marquis of Baoding to live in Mengfu for some time. ”

Zhu Yunwen's face sank, he didn't know what he thought, he threw the amber petals in Peng Shi's hand in a daze, and walked out of the half-human-tall purple leaf thorns they were talking about. After he walked away, Peng Shi held the complete talisman, and the corners of his lips curled, pulling the wound on the tip of his tongue.

"Heh, it turns out that your real master is King Yan, there is an idiom called 'Chao Qin Dusk Chu', which is very appropriate for you, what do you think, big cousin?"

Peng Shi clenched his talisman tightly, turned back suddenly, and saw the person who brought him the wound. The slender shadow stood at the end of the wall in a place where the sun did not shine, and I don't know how long she had listened, but it was clear that she had touched his deepest secret.

Peng Shi and He Angelica looked at each other silently for a moment, then slowly rolled up their long sleeves and showed her the hidden weapon equipped on his arm that could kill people invisibly. The steel hair of the sleeve arrow has a faint blue light, and it is highly poisonous at a glance, these are specially made hidden weapons in the underground weapons workshop of King Yan, which can be comparable to the emperor's Dongchang Weapons Division.

"Don't force me to kill you," Peng Shi said coldly, "If you stand in the middle of the road I'm going to pass, I'll have to do it." ”

He Danggui tilted his head, and said with an innocent smile: "Then you shouldn't involve the Meng family, even if the Meng family's eleven tigers are the sharpest sword, its hilt will only be held in the hands of the emperor and the orthodox heir designated by the emperor." Cousin, you found a new owner for it without authorization, have you ever asked for its opinion? ”

Peng Shi glanced behind He Angelica, leaving only a sentence of "we'll see", and then brushed his sleeves away. He Angelica turned around to see who was so uninteresting and interrupted their important conversation.

The uninteresting person is Chai Yutu, she stood behind the rockery, waiting for the maid Rose to go back to get a change of clothes, and suddenly found that He Angelica was walking alone in the outer courtyard, so she secretly stepped on it, and bumped into the scene of He Angelica and Peng Shi talking behind the thorn bushes. Peng Shi obviously saw her, and left without even saying hello, Chai Yutu's shoulders trembled, and he smiled hysterically: "You are so proud, should I congratulate you, just one painting to get rid of the thorn in your eye." ”

He Angelica looked at the embarrassedly dressed Chai Yutu, and told her calmly: "Before we met yesterday, I never regarded you as a thorn in the side, and your mistake was that you shouldn't use that painting as a bargaining chip, do you know who the 'painter' who made that painting is?" ”

"Who is it?" Chai Yutu frowned.

What she gave to He Angelica was a piece of Spring Palace bought from the black market, with a total of four pictures, the first picture is a beauty taking a bath, the second is a childe peeping, and so on, strung together into a continuous story. She also asked people to hold a small portrait of Zhang Meiren, and asked the painter to change the face of the character to Zhang Meiren's eyebrows.

And the painting that Zhu Yunwen dug up, only the first picture, the beauty came out of the bath, but her face became her firewood rain picture. Even so, it is not a forbidden painting, and there is no man in the painting, why is Zhu Yunwen so angry that his face is blue? The Chai Yutu is completely confused.

"It's King Yan," He Angelica said in a relaxed tone talking about the weather, "My father, King Yan Wang Zhu Di, is the famous painter of the Spring Palace of the Ming Dynasty, and he is half of the wind and moon." He is a realistic painter, each work is painted according to real beauties, real people and real things, with vivid colors and fragrances, without exception, and is famous for this. Cousin Chai, you said, should His Royal Highness the eldest grandson be angry when he sees that painting? ”
