The coachman knew that today was the order of the eldest lady, so he did not dare to slack off, even if he knew that the eldest lady would not come out for a while, he was sitting upright.

Suddenly, the coachman felt the carriage behind him sink slightly. Then a faint female voice sounded: "Go to the palace." ”

The coachman was slightly startled. It was the first time he saw off the eldest lady today, and he was a little surprised that the eldest lady who looked weak didn't need to be helped to get into the carriage alone.

"Okay, the little one will send you to the palace." The coachman first answered, and then asked with some confusion, "Why didn't the eldest lady let the little one help you up?" ”

"Eventful." He Suoyi was thinking about dealing with Concubine Qin in her heart, but the coachman's words interrupted her thoughts a little at first glance. Therefore, he spoke with a little annoyance, and reprimanded.

Listening to the voice behind him, the coachman felt that the eldest lady was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to gag again. He looked carefully at the road ahead and carefully drove the carriage.

The two were silent all the way. He Suoyi slowed down with the slight swaying of the carriage, slowly sorting out his thoughts. At this moment, the carriage stopped lightly, and the voice of the coachman in front of him came: "Miss, it's here." ”

"Hmm. You will wait for me here for about half an hour, and I will come out soon. He Suoyi lowered her eyelashes slightly, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

When he got into the carriage, he only got up, and when he went out, he refused the coachman's kindness and got out of the carriage alone.

The coachman sat alone in the carriage, looking at He Suoyi's back as he gradually moved away, while waiting silently.

……

"The canal is as clear as promised, only the source of living water comes." Standing at the gate of the palace waiting for the guards to go in and pass it on, somehow, this poem came to mind in my mind.

She was a little amused by her thoughts, covered her mouth and secretly enjoyed a little, and said in her heart: "Isn't it for the sake of the source of living water to discuss this matter of Concubine Qin today." ”

Just when He Suoyi was thinking about it, the guards who had just gone in to pass the word came back, saw He Suoyi, and bowed respectfully: "Miss He, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let you go." ”

"Hmm." He Suoyi responded as if nothing, lifted the skirt that was slightly long enough to mop the floor, and entered the palace with the guards.

The guards led him to Shen Huo's palace, and then he stopped: "Miss He, it's here." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you inside. ”

After that, the guard saw that his mission was complete, and he did not linger long. Fu and He Suoyi bowed and turned to leave.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward to push the door open. "Squeak-" The heavily decorated door slowly opened.

When the people inside heard the movement, they raised their heads slightly, looked at what they were relying on, and a little smile appeared on their cold faces: "You're here." ”

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." He Suoyi replied in a low voice, and after a slight pause, he answered, "The courtier is here." ”

She was slightly hanging her head at this time, but the scene she had just seen in her mind kept coming to mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little like a deer colliding with her.

- Shen Huo sat alone in the courtyard, with white rice paper on the small table in front of him. He held the pen in one hand and held his sleeve lightly with the other, and with the swipe of his wrist, the ink stained the paper little by little.

Yes. He Suoyi said secretly in his heart. The eldest girls and little daughters-in-law in the capital always love to spread the word about how gentle and moist His Royal Highness King Wu is, and if they see the prince, they will definitely regret it.

The prince is like this, and he can be called "a stranger is like a jade, and a gentleman is unparalleled in the world." "It's a real gentle boy.

"What are you thinking?" Just as He Suoyi's thoughts were flying, a slightly smiling male voice interrupted her thoughts. The man's voice was as clear as jade, like his people. Who is it if it's not Shen Huo?

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Being called by Shen Huo, He Suoyi barely came back to his senses. Thinking of the picture he had just come up with, he couldn't help but blush slightly.

She didn't know it, but at this time, she looked at Shen Huo's eyes, and she felt a little coquettish. The original white skin was slightly red, and He Suoyi's face was thin, but at this moment, he was just making a little joke, and even the roots of his ears were already red.

Looking at He Suoyi like this, Shen Huo suddenly thought of the rabbit he raised as a child. It's also like this, a little soft ball, and the ears are often red, pitiful and cute.

"What a bunny." He didn't hold back for a while, and the words in his heart came flooding up. Shen Huo was startled, and hurriedly closed his mouth, pretending to be nothing.

Fortunately, He Suoyi didn't hear what he said clearly, and only vaguely heard Shen Huo say a few words, so he asked with some confusion: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what did you say?" ”

"Nothing." Shen Huo hurriedly tensed his muscles, still making a serious and cold appearance, so that people couldn't detect any clues.

Fortunately, He did not put his mind on this. Shen Huo didn't say anything, she just thought she had misheard, and turned to the topic next to her: "The courtiers are looking at what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is writing, can you let the courtiers see it?" ”

"Naturally." Shen Huo nodded slightly, picked up the paper he had put aside, and handed it to He Suoyi.

He Suoyi carefully took it and looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be a "Theory of the Art of War." Written in cursive, it is quite a bit wild and uninhibited. She expected that it was written by Shen Huo, so she read it very carefully.

I saw that the treatise on the art of war reads: "Soldiers, treacherous ways." Therefore, it can show that it can't, use it and show that it doesn't use, show it near and show it's far, and show it near and far......" Although there are only a few words, Shen Huo's eloquence and strategy are all on the paper.

The more He Suoyi looked, the more he felt that it was not a taste in his heart. In detail, such a "Theory of the Art of War" is sprinkled with such enthusiasm, and I wonder if there is any so-called genius in Beijing who can write it?

It's just that Shen Huo is so ambitious, but the emperor doesn't pay attention to it. He only had Concubine Qin and Gu Zhiheng in his heart, but he left such a piece of beautiful jade behind.

Thinking of this, He Suoyi was even more firm in his heart to fully assist Shen Huo's belief. She carefully put the paper back on the table, turned her head to look at Shen Huo again, and her eyes were already full of determination.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. You will be a Ming monarch in the future, and the courtiers don't want you to be buried here. At present, Concubine Qin and His Royal Highness King Wu are the biggest obstacles on your way, and the courtiers have some ways here, and they may be able to bring down the two of them in one fell swoop, I wonder if you are willing to listen? ”

He Suoyi said sincerely, Shen Huo listened carefully, and a serious look appeared in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, and said, "If there is a good way, it will be a good thing." Why don't you talk about it? ”

Listening to Shen Huo's meaning, He knew that he had no objection, and hurriedly put his plan together: "The courtier's plan is like this......

He Suo's plan is actually very simple, it is nothing more than taking advantage of the situation to frame Concubine Qin. Concubine Qin is indeed favored now, but if it is discovered that Concubine Qin has bad intentions and plots to kill the emperor, what should she do?

"So, we just need to create some evidence to frame Concubine Qin for having the intention of murdering the emperor. Although the emperor dotes on Concubine Qin, if he knows that Concubine Qin has bad intentions, then the favor will become double resentment. ”

He Suoyi said softly, with a bit of confidence in his eyes. How much I loved it before, how angry I was when I learned about the betrayal of the other party. She already understood this truth.

The more the emperor doted on Concubine Qin, the less he would tolerate Concubine Qin's betrayal. At that time, the chance of Concubine Qin being able to turn over will be smaller. In this way, the stumbling blocks in front of Shen Huo's eyes were swept away.

Shen Huo listened quietly on the side, and his eyes showed a little approval from time to time. He Suo's plan looks simple, and it is not difficult to implement, but the probability of success is quite large.

And in this way, they can do it once and for all, and they don't have to worry about threats from the side. Shen Huo smiled slightly in his eyes and said, "I still have something I want to add to this scheme......

The two discussed for a while, and finally finalized the plan. He Suoyi saw that it was not early, and then he realized that he had been in the palace for a long time, and the coachman outside must have been in a hurry. Thinking of this, she hurriedly said goodbye to Shen Huo, and when she saw that Shen Huo responded, she left the palace.

A long time after He Suoyi left, Shen Huo still couldn't come back to his senses, and he kept thinking about the plan discussed by the two today. He thought about it for a long time, and added a lot of details to his mind to make sure that nothing was lost, and then he put his mind at ease.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening at this time, Shen Huo knew that this matter was in a hurry, but he did not panic. just summoned a few henchmen, carefully told some things, and just waited for Concubine Qin to take the bait.

After receiving Shen Huo's order, the henchmen did not dare to delay, so they went to carry it out one after another. At this point, when Concubine Qin didn't know it, a net against her and Gu Zhiheng had been quietly weaved.

Concubine Qin has a habit. Every Friday every month, the emperor has to stew a pot of pork ribs okra soup and send it over.

She has a hand in stewing soup, and the emperor has always loved to drink it. In the past, if Concubine Qin sent this soup, the emperor would have to drink it all. Over time, the people in the palace also knew about Concubine Qin's habit.

It was the fifth day of January again, and Concubine Qin entered the imperial dining room as promised, no different from the past, taking the pork ribs and okra prepared by the next person, and stewed the soup carefully.

Cut the pork ribs into small pieces, blanch them to remove the blood, and then put them in a casserole with cold water and slowly boil. Once boiling, pour a bowl of cold water over to cool. After boiling again, it will cool down again. After repeating this three times, pour in the chopped okra and simmer over low heat.

This soup is not difficult to say, it is nothing more than a control of the heat. It's just that the emperor prefers Concubine Qin, and even the soup seems to have a little more flavor, so it tastes extraordinarily fragrant.

Concubine Qin waited patiently for about three hours, smelling the fragrant aroma coming from the pot, and knew that the soup was ready. She stepped forward to turn off the fire, scooped a cup carefully, and brought it to the emperor's bedroom.

"Concubine Ai is here." The emperor listened to the movement, raised his head and saw that it was Concubine Qin who came, his face lit up slightly, he sniffed exaggeratedly, and said with a smile, "Today is the fifth day again, and my mouth blessing is here." ”
