Yesterday evening, Katayu returned to Shi's house, and after telling the master that the master stayed in the palace at night, he went to the master's courtyard to take a look. Now that Hanyan is gone, she is the only one to worry about many things.

After everything was explained, the hour was a little late, and the palace gate was locked.

She thought that if she secretly entered the palace and was known afterwards, the royal family would not have a good time, so it would be better to wait until tomorrow morning to enter the palace again.

Behold...... That was the night that happened.

"Yesterday, before the third watch, Gu Gongzi's people arrived at Shi's house and took ...... Said to be an assassin. Pian Yu pondered for a moment, after all, she said the word "assassin", and when the words fell, she saw Shi Huan's face turn white instantly, she was worried, but she saw the other party waving her hand, so she continued, "At that time, the slave maid thought that she would come to the palace to find the master no matter what, but the princess seemed to have guessed it, and directly let people surround your courtyard, slave maid...... The slave and maid are not easy to do, so they will be blocked. ”

Shi Huan frowned and sighed lightly.

Since my grandfather had the intention of trapping himself in this palace for three days, he would never miss Katayu. When he was young, he was the emperor of the dynasty, although he rarely asked about the world now, but now he wants to make a move, he is more decisive and rigorous than others.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that his aunt chose to avoid it because she didn't know how to keep people, thinking that she stayed because she didn't say goodbye, and at the same time gave her aunt more time to think of a more complete statement.

Because they all wanted to be perfect, they didn't want to hurt themselves, but they let themselves find an opportunity to leave.

She slowly raised her head, and looked at Kata Yu's gaze so calm that the dark tide was surging, and her voice was darker and colder than the rain curtain outside the house, "Kata Yu...... I know you can help me. You're the only ...... Can help me get out of here. ”

The palace walls are deep, and it's too easy to trap a person.

At this moment, it may not be difficult to leave in a grand manner, after all, except for her aunt and her cronies, no one knows her intentions, even the little palace maid who sent her to serve her.

When you leave the palace at this moment, no one will stop you. But what Shi Huan wants is not tight, just that.

……

The relationship between the family has always been intertwined, and the government and the opposition are even more or less related to each other, so this gossip can always communicate with each other.

Soon, the five words "something happened to the Lu family" were summarized through the clues found by people from all walks of life, like a skeleton with an indistinguishable appearance, gradually revealing its bones and blood...... Reveal a face that is enough to set off a bloody storm in the imperial capital!

It's better to ...... It's good not to know.

"Quick! Right away! The ministers ordered, "Withdraw our people immediately, and leave no trace behind!" Be sure to be clean! ”

It's just because the guard who knocked on the city gate last night with the token of Lord Gu sent it to Shi's house was not an assassin, but a person who hired an assassin...... is not the mastermind behind the scenes, I think he was also ordered by someone, but this person is a ...... Eunuch.

From the palace.

The mastermind behind this...... It's easy to guess.

An old minister stroked his beard and looked in the direction of the palace and muttered, "All these years...... The relationship between the Shi family and the royal family is already awkward, the royal family is jealous of the Shi family, but they have to rely on the Shi family, obviously coexisting, but they are separated. ”

The young man beside him hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "Then do you think it will be ......?"

The old minister glanced at the other party, "Your Majesty, you say?" Heh......" didn't answer, just smiled and shook his head bluntly.

"Why?"

"One family, two queens, one phase, and an emperor who looks like he has escaped from the distance...... When I was young, I couldn't move, let alone now? He's old......"

Who's old? The young man looked sideways slightly, thinking about what if His Majesty was old...... But isn't Taifu also old? Just looked at his father's expression, and didn't ask at all, only asked, "Who could it be?" ”

"Who will it be...... After all, what are you doing? Remember, the most important thing is to protect yourself, this matter...... Don't listen, don't care, don't guess. ”

Who will it be?

This is obviously a matter that His Majesty in the Imperial Study needs to consider urgently at this moment.

The huge palace is full of thousands of masters, large and small, and there are countless eunuchs and palace maids.

After checking for a long time, I found out.

However, the result was obviously a big disappointment - a little eunuch in charge of pouring the night pot in the noble palace whose name was almost forgotten by the emperor.

Apparently...... This was definitely not the answer that Taifu and the Emperor wanted. A nobleman who doesn't see the emperor a few times a year, a beauty who is offered by a declining tribe, and his background is low enough. How could such a person be involved with the interests of the Lu family and the Shi family?

Even if the Lu family has countless enemies, it can't be on her.

Taifu's face was dark, and he looked at Chang Gonggong gloomily with a teacup, and said in a cold voice for a while, "Even if my Shi family recruits people, I know that my past experience and family background must be investigated...... This palace is full of people, huh...... It's so perfunctory. ”

The emperor's face was ugly, but he didn't say anything...... Although this matter was not ordered by himself, anything in the palace is not easy to say to the outside world that it has nothing to do with him.

Chang Gonggong smiled and apologized, "Taifu...... You can rest assured, the old slave has already sent someone to check, soon, soon, I will be able to give you a satisfactory answer! Rest assured! ”

Taifu's complexion did not change, he looked at him coldly, and looked out of a superior posture, "Soon, how fast?" I think you should know as well as I do that the mastermind behind this scene has appeared in the palace, so deal with the Lu family...... Probably they are dealing with my Shi family, and in the final analysis, the Lu family is implicated by my Shi family...... Chang Gonggong said that he wanted to give a satisfactory answer to Mrs. Ben, and Mrs. Ben also needed to give a satisfactory answer to the Lu family. ”

"Father-in-law Chang should be able to empathize with Mrs. Ben's mood and anxiety at the moment, right?"

Chang Gonggong nodded frequently, hunched his waist, and only said yes, yes.

Over the years, Taifu has rarely been angry, and many times he squints and laughs happily, like a virtuous and compassionate old man, watching the many ups and downs of this world from the outside.

Indifferent, easy-going and forgiving.

Until last night's third watch......

The secret guards who were sent to perform their duties in the imperial capital suddenly appeared in the imperial study in unison......

The strength displayed by the entire Shi family at that moment made the secret guards carefully cultivated by the royal family feel jealous. And this jealousy is too late, this time the Gu royal family is at a loss.

If it weren't for that, Taifu would not have been able to sit here with such a strong attitude and ask His Majesty for an explanation.
