When the emperor heard that Xu Qinghe was coming, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly called the little eunuch out to welcome Xu Qinghe back. The little eunuch immediately hurried out of the imperial study.

He walked in a hurry all the way, for fear that Xu Qinghe would be unhappy if he was in a hurry. It wasn't until he walked to the door and saw Xu Qinghe's usual peaceful and stable look that he relaxed and welcomed Xu Qinghe in.

After Xu Qinghe entered, he didn't talk about other things with the emperor, but said: "Your Majesty, you can watch the sky at night and find that the southeast star is offset, and there must be something important in the southeast recently." ”

"What's the big deal?" Hearing what Xu Qinghe said, the emperor tightly locked his brows and asked himself, "Will it have an impact on my Great Zhou national fortune?" ”

Xu Qinghe was waiting for this sentence. Hearing this, he immediately showed a somewhat hesitant look, and only said: "It's not clear yet." The poor road must be traveled alone, walked and observed, and then it can be conclusive. ”

His words looked very sincere, and his eyes were also sincere. In addition, the emperor has always favored Xu Qinghe, and after hearing his words, the emperor did not doubt it, so he naturally agreed.

Seeing the emperor's answer, the joy on Xu Qinghe's face couldn't be hidden. He was worried about Chu Lingshen's current situation and was anxious to return to China.

I thought that the emperor would hesitate a little when he said this, but I didn't expect the emperor to agree so happily. This was exactly in Xu Qinghe's arms, and he thanked the emperor together, looking a little more sincere.

Looking at him like this, the emperor privately thought that Xu Qinghe was so dedicated to Da Zhou, and he was naturally moved. Hurriedly ordered to go down, promised Xu Qinghe a number of rewards, and chatted with him for a while, and then let Xu Qinghe go.

Because Xu Qinghe's words looked extremely eager, the emperor was also faintly worried, fearing that this matter would have an impact on the Great Zhou, so he immediately agreed to let Xu Qinghe leave the Great Zhou tomorrow and go to the southeast.

The news in the palace spread very quickly, and it didn't take long for the national teacher to leave the Great Zhou in a few days, and the news of going to the southeast to check the stars spread throughout the palace.

When others heard the news, they thought a little in their hearts at most: "The national teacher is really hard work." "That's it. After hearing the news, the East Palace secretly frowned.

After Shen Huo learned the news, he couldn't help but have a few traces of doubt in his heart. He went and searched for what to rely on, and consulted with him carefully. Of course, Shen Huo also shared his suspicions with He Suoyi.

After He Suoyi heard this, he first frowned, a few thoughts flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "The people of Chu State were only embarrassed to leave yesterday, and Xu Qinghe hurriedly said that he was going south today, and there must be something involved." ”

"Hongu thinks so too." Hearing this, Shen Huo immediately nodded thoughtfully, "He may not take this opportunity to find the prince of Chu State." How many times are we going to investigate? ”

Shen Huoti's suggestion was very reasonable, and He nodded and agreed. The two immediately decided to send someone to continue to follow Xu Qinghe to see if he really went south.

Because the state of Chu is in the east of the Great Zhou, and Xu Qinghe's astrological signs are in the southeast direction, although there is only a word difference, the direction he went after leaving the capital was the opposite direction. Therefore, as long as you look at where he is going, you can naturally find out the clues thoroughly.

Xu Qinghe didn't know anything about Shen Huo's plan, and he didn't care about the movements of the East Palace.

These days, when he thinks about Chu Lingshen's situation, he is anxious. I am afraid that Chu Lingshen will have an accident in the Chu State and will not be able to stabilize the government and the opposition.

was anxious, and Xu Qinghe couldn't hide anything at this time. After finally surviving the night, he hurried out of the palace with the luggage he had prepared long ago, and rode straight to the east.

Xu Qinghe walked in a hurry all the way, so he didn't realize that someone was following him behind him. This man followed Xu Qinghe all the way, and watched him go straight out of the city gate and into the distance.

After Xu Qinghe rode away on horseback, the guards who had been secretly observing him withdrew their eyes and returned to the palace. As soon as he returned to the palace, the guard reported what he had seen and what he had seen to the two of them.

After Shen Huo and He Suoyi knew, they were stunned at first, and then glanced at each other, and a few hints of understanding flashed between their eyes. Shen Huo was the first to speak: "It seems that our guess is really correct. ”

Listening to what Shen Huo said, He Suoyi also nodded thoughtfully, and the two glanced at each other, looking very tacit.

The guards who reported on the side may not know much, but the two of them do. Looking at each other's eyes, Shen Huo and the others knew that each other's thoughts were the same.

After this incident, the two further determined the identity of the so-called "national teacher". On the surface, he is the national teacher of the Great Zhou, but in fact, he is indeed the meticulous work of the Chu State.

These days, Xu Qinghe has already shown his feet, and the two of them are not surprised by this result. It's just that He Suoyi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly remembered the involvement between Xu Qinghe and Wu Wangfu.

Because of the importance of the matter, if others listen to it rashly, something strange may happen. Thinking of this, He Suoyi couldn't help but wave his hand to send everyone in Shen Huo's palace away, and in an instant, only two people were left in the huge palace, Shen Huo and He Suoyi.

Seeing that everyone was empty, He Suoyi relaxed slightly, looked at Shen Huo and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." The concubine suddenly remembered something and felt the need to talk to you. ”

"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say it. Shen Huo raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing an interested expression, and asked what he was doing.

"This national teacher, it was Wu Wangfu who recommended him to enter the palace at the beginning. At present, the identity of the national teacher is already clear, and it is indeed the meticulous work of the Chu State. Will His Royal Highness King Wu also ......?"

He Suoyi didn't finish the rest of the words, but Shen Huo understood what she meant. Xu Qinghe was personally introduced to the palace by Gu Zhiheng, and Xu Qinghe had a deep connection with the Chu State.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but wonder if Gu Zhiheng seemed to have nothing to do with the Chu State on the surface, but in fact he had already colluded with the Chu State.

When it comes to major affairs related to the family and the country, there is no room for delay. Shen Huo then set out to secretly investigate the matter. It's just that his face is still quiet, so that others don't notice it.

But even if Gu Zhiheng is in collusion with Chu State, where can he find out clearly at this time? By the time Shen Huo and He relied on the meal, things still hadn't progressed at all.

Seeing that things were not progressing in the slightest, Shen Huo couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward." It's probably Shen Huo's state of mind here.

Looking at Shen Huo's frowning face, He Suoyi was also a little worried and a little melancholy. She recalled it carefully in her mind, and suddenly remembered that the last time Ning Xinyi came to the East Side Hall early in the morning, she inexplicably had to be careful to watch out for Xu Qinghe.

At that time, I only didn't know why, a harem concubine and a prince concubine should not have an intersection no matter what. Why did she come to remind herself? He Suoyi thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that it seemed that it might be Ning Xinyi who knew something.

After thinking about it in her heart, she looked in the direction of Shen Huo and said bluntly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine suddenly remembered something again." I don't know what impression you have of Ning Guiren? ”

"Ning Guiren?" Shen Huo pinched his eyebrows and recalled carefully, "But the concubine who has won the favor of her father these days?" The head of the palace comes and goes too often, and the palace can't remember it clearly. ”

"It's this woman." He Suoyi smiled slightly and agreed with Shen Huo's words, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are not mistaken. Remember what I told you? ”

After that, He Suoyi was afraid that Shen Huo would not remember this matter very clearly, so he told Ning Xinyi that day when he came to the East Wing Hall early in the morning and told him what he had told him carefully.

At the end, He Suoyi also said his analysis: "The concubine and Ning Guiren don't know each other, why did she say this with the concubine?" Now it seems that Ning Guiren must know some clues. Why don't we go and ask, and maybe we'll get any useful information. ”

"That's good." Shen Huo's eyes lit up slightly, "This palace has forgotten about such a stubble." If you can get any news from Ning Guiren, it will naturally be a good thing, and it will save you a lot of trouble. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their eyes were a little excited, and they were both extremely happy. Thinking that they might be able to know whether Gu Zhiheng was in collusion with Chu Guo, both of them had some heartfelt expectations.

Then the two discussed it carefully. After deliberation, He decided not to delay any longer. Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was still good at this time, he tidied up a little and went to Cuiyi Palace to visit Ning Guiren.

Naturally, what is the basis of this trip is "the drunkard's intention is not to drink." On the surface, he said that he was visiting, but in fact, he wanted to solve the doubts in his heart, and took the opportunity to put some words out of Ning Xinyi's mouth.

When the two women met, it was much more convenient than Shen Huo to go to find Ning Xinyi. It was Shen Huo who was also not twisted, and immediately agreed to come down and asked He Suoyi to go.

So He Suoyi called duckweed to come and carefully tidy up her dress, and when she was about to tidy up, she walked straight to the direction of Cuiyi Palace, where Ning Xinyi was.

Along the way, the two of them shared flowers and stroked willows, and the plainness of the end was born with a bit of charm. At this time, it is very beautiful, and the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming very brightly. Yin Ziyan was red, so He Suoyi's originally anxious mood was much better.

Her complexion eased a lot, thinking that she might be able to solve her doubts, but her steps were still in a hurry, and she carried the duckweed path all the way to Cuiyi Palace.

Fang went to Cuiyi Palace, but the two suddenly encountered an accident. I saw He Suoyi take a step forward slightly, looked at the palace maid guarding the palace gate, and said, "This palace asks you, is your master here?" ”

The palace maid knew what to rely on, and when she heard her words, she first saluted respectfully, and then showed a somewhat embarrassed look on her face: "Princess, this is really not a coincidence...... My master had just left the palace a quarter of an hour ago. ”
