Because He Suoyi is still in the lockdown period and it is inconvenient to go out, the queen discussed with Shen Huo and decided to go to the emperor to relieve He Suoyi's grounding first.

He Suoyi also knew that the top priority at this time was to restore his freedom first, and naturally had no opinion on the decision of the queen and Shen Huo.

The queen summoned the palace maids beside her and ordered: "Go and inquire where the emperor is now." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, slave maid will go." The palace maid listened to the queen's instructions and hurriedly replied.

After the palace maid left, He Suoyi was a little worried, after all, the emperor was so angry at the time, and now he doesn't know what to do.

Shen Huo looked at He Suoyi's worried appearance and comforted: "Ayi, I already have an idea, you don't need to worry." ”

He Suoyi thought that Shen Huo didn't want to be too careful, so he replied: "The concubine believes in His Highness, but she is not too careful, and His Highness is too worried." ”

Shen Huo heard a little perfunctory in He Suoyi's tone, and was about to explain in detail when the queen spoke.

The queen asked, "Xun'er, you just said that you already have an idea?" ”

Shen Huo nodded, and said confidently: "When the queen mother comes, don't speak, the son will intercede with his father first, if the father does not allow it, the son will have other countermeasures." ”

Although the queen still had some doubts in her heart, she also knew Shen Huo and knew that Shen Huo's character would not joke about this kind of thing, so she didn't ask too much.

Seeing Shen Huo like this, He Suoyi also knew that he was not comforting himself, but really confident, so he asked: "Your Highness, there are other countermeasures you said, can you inform the concubine?" ”

Shen Huo saw He Suoyi's appearance of trusting himself very much, and he still had a sense of accomplishment in his heart, but he still sold it and said, "You will know when the time comes, and this palace will not tell you for the time being." ”

The queen looked at Shen Huo and He Suoyi like this, and sighed in her heart, in this kind of realm in front of her, these two children can still be so miserable.

It's better than everyone being sad.

He Suoyi obviously also realized that in front of the queen, this appearance was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly glanced at Shen Huo.

Shen Huo's reaction was also extremely fast, seeing the direction He Suoyi's eyes were looking in, and knowing that He Suoyi was taking care of the queen mother here, his face was a little uncomfortable, so he stopped saying those provocative words.

The queen is obviously not stupid, from the beginning of He Suoyi's eyes to Shen Huo, she saw it in her eyes, and she was even more satisfied with He Suoyi in her heart.

After all, in such a situation, during the lockdown, he should have been wronged in every way when he saw his husband coming, but he still didn't lose his sense of proportion.

At this time, the palace maid who went to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts also came back, and after standing in the house, she saluted several people in the house in turn, and then looked at the queen and said: "Niangniang, the emperor is in the imperial study at this time." ”

This palace maid is obviously very polite, otherwise she would not follow the queen, so when she went to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts, she did not let others see the abnormality.

He Suoyi suddenly thought that when this palace maid went to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts, she would not be suspected by others, so she asked: "What did you say when you inquired about the emperor's whereabouts, did it attract the attention of others?" ”

Listening to He Zhiyi's question, Shen Huo also looked at the palace maid, this is not a trivial matter, if the emperor knows, he may suspect that they have other plans.

Although the queen believed in the palace maids around her, this was not an ordinary thing after all, so she also asked, "Tell me how you asked at that time." ”

The palace maid knew the intention of the queen and He Suoyi to ask like this, so she said truthfully: "The slave maid asked a little eunuch who followed the emperor at that time, saying that the queen wanted to send some pastries to the emperor, but she didn't know where the emperor was for a while, so she ordered the slave maid to inquire." ”

This is reasonable, and after thinking about it, they also know that there is no flaw in this statement, so they no longer take this matter to heart.

The queen thought for a moment and said to Shen Huo: "Xun'er, the palace will take the pastries to the imperial study first, and you will find a reason to come back later." ”

Shen Huo naturally had no objection to this, so the queen went to prepare the pastries first.

After the queen left, Shen Huo looked at He Suoyi and asked, "Ayi, why didn't you let me continue?" ”

He Suoyi was a little embarrassed, but still said: "The queen mother was there at the time, and it was a little inappropriate to say that." ”

Shen Huo also expected that He Suoyi was embarrassed, but hearing He Suoyi say this was different from his own guess, Shen Huo was still a little happy in his heart.

The two talked together for a while, and He Suoyi sensed that the time was almost up, so he said to Shen Huo: "Your Highness, the time is almost up, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to drag it down on the queen mother's side." ”

Shen Huo also knew the seriousness of the matter, so naturally he would not continue to talk to He Suoyi here, after all, they could talk at any time if they wanted to, and the current matter could not be delayed.

"Then the palace will go to the imperial study to find my father, Ayi, you wait a little longer." Shen Huo stood up and looked at He Suoyi.

He Suoyi suddenly felt a little reluctant in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and said to Shen Huo: "Your Highness, the concubine is waiting for you." ”

Shen Huo still kept looking at He Suoyi, and finally turned around and left without saying another word.

He Suoyi looked at Shen Huo's departing back and hooked the corners of his mouth.

Walking all the way unimpeded, Shen Huo soon arrived at the door of the imperial study, looking at the eunuch standing at the door, Shen Huo said: "This palace is looking for my father and emperor to discuss something, and my father-in-law is kind." ”

The eunuch at the door naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pushed open the door and went to tell the emperor.

Then there was a voice letting Shen Huo in.

Shen Huo walked into the imperial study, and the queen was really by the emperor's side, and a few snacks were placed on the imperial table.

Shen Huo saluted the emperor, and then saluted the queen.

The emperor looked at Shen Huo, who was standing not far away, and asked, "What is the important matter for the prince to come?" ”

Shen Huo didn't speak after the salute, he was waiting for the emperor to ask him, and when he heard the emperor speak, he hurriedly replied: "Back to my father, my sons and ministers do have something to ask for." ”

I don't know when Shen Huo has never used that word to the emperor again, so as soon as Shen Huo said this, the emperor felt a little incredible.

However, although it was a little incredible, the emperor still said: "Oh, Xun'er, you haven't used this word for me for a long time, what is the matter this time?" ”

Shen Huo slowly knelt in front of the emperor and said, "The son begs his father to relieve Ayi's grounding. ”

The emperor originally thought that Shen Huo was going to say something, but he didn't expect Shen Huo to say about He Suoyi's grounding.

He Suoyi's performance at that time really annoyed the emperor, so even if Shen Huo knelt in front of the emperor at this time, the emperor did not have the slightest intention of relieving He Suoyi's grounding.

The queen has been by the emperor's side for so long, so she naturally easily saw the emperor's thoughts, hurriedly walked over and stood beside Shen Huo, and said: "Your Majesty, you also said that Xun'er hasn't asked for someone for a long time, and now that you have opened your mouth, you might as well fulfill him once." ”

The emperor expected that the queen would definitely help Shen Huo intercede as soon as Shen Huo opened his mouth, so as soon as the queen spoke, the emperor said: "Queen, don't worry about this matter, I have my own plans." ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen was obviously a little caught off guard, but she didn't expect the emperor's attitude to be so resolute this time.

I thought that as long as Shen Huo opened his mouth to intercede and put a few words next to him, there should be nothing to do, but I didn't expect the emperor to say this.

Shen Huo was obviously a little surprised, after all, after such a long time, he was still a little sure of what the emperor's attitude towards his queen mother was, but this time it was useless for the queen mother to speak?

The queen wanted to say something more to save the current situation, but when she looked at Shen Huo, Shen Huo shook her head at her and asked her not to speak again.

This is already the situation now, and no matter what, the emperor and queen can't be angry anymore, otherwise there will really be no way back then.

After Shen Huo signaled the queen not to act rashly, he said to the emperor very firmly: "Father, there is something strange in this matter, and you must also have doubts about it. ”

The emperor was not surprised that Shen Huo could think of this, after all, Shen Huo was the crown prince he chose himself, if he couldn't even think of these things, then he should doubt his vision.

Shen Huo saw that the emperor didn't speak, so he continued: "Erchen can promise you that he will find out the truth of the matter within seven days and give you a satisfactory answer." ”

The emperor admired Shen Huo in his heart at this time, but at the same time, he was a little dissatisfied, what he appreciated was Shen Huo's self-confidence, and what he was dissatisfied with was Shen Huo's deep affection for He Suyi, after all, Shen Huo was going to become an emperor in the future, and such a long love would eventually become a weakness.

But the emperor still didn't want to disappoint Shen Huo too much, so he asked, "Do you just let me lift the grounding on what is the basis for you to find out what happened?" ”

Shen Huo saw that the emperor was a little shaken, although he was anxious, he still did not lose his sense of proportion, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Back to my father, it is indeed one of the reasons why I want you to relieve Ayi's grounding, and the other ministers really don't want you to be in the dark and deceived by traitors and villains." ”

The emperor was a little satisfied when he heard this, and said to Shen Huo: "Then I promise you that from now on, your crown princess will be free, and in addition, I will send a few masters to help you investigate." ”

When Shen Huo heard this, he hurriedly thanked him and said, "My son thanks my father for his grace, I will definitely not let my father down." ”

Seeing this, the emperor completely relaxed, and asked a eunuch beside him to find the people who were going to be assigned to Shen Huo just now, and then ordered Shen Huo to leave.

Before dawn the next day, Gu Zhiheng arranged for someone in the palace to spread the news that Shen Huo had begun to investigate Xiqing.

Gu Zhiheng and A Nuanliang were very flustered when they heard the news, and the two hurriedly discussed it and decided to go to Xue Gongzi to discuss countermeasures.

After deciding, the two hurried to Xue Gongzi's residence.
