The snake was more than a meter long, its head was smashed, but it didn't seem to be dead, and its body was still swinging slightly.

King Xuan looked at Shen Yuyu, who looked like usual, and secretly admired it in his heart, this psychological quality was as strong as his imperial brother Night King.

After observing the eyes of the poisonous snake, King Xuan asked, "The imperial sister-in-law said that there is something wrong with this snake?" What's the problem?" He knew this snake, it was a common venomous snake, and he couldn't see anything wrong.

Shen Yu said: "This snake is raised by people." Seeing that King Xuan was puzzled, Shen Yuyan added, "If the emperor's brother wants to know the reason, you will understand when you go back to the palace and dissect the snake by the imperial sister-in-law."

"Okay." I thought she was really going to make wine with poisonous snakes, but I didn't expect it to be an "autopsy." 'Convinced!

After returning to the Night King's Mansion, Shen Yuyu found instruments and put on sheepskin gloves, fixed the snake with its tail still whipped on the stone slab, and began to 'autopsy'.

First, the stomach was dissected, and there was a mouse skin that had not yet been digested and melted by the snake.

Shen Yu fiddled twice and explained, "Once the snake hibernates, it can't eat, but this snake eats, which means that it is not hibernating and someone is feeding." ”

"Oh~~" King Xuan suddenly realized, continued to watch Shen Yu's knife cut down, and after cutting open the snake's belly, he found a nest of snake eggs in the snake's belly.

"See? This snake is not only raised, but also kept for a long time in a constant temperature place where the four seasons cannot be distinguished, so it is ready to lay eggs in the winter.

"That's true!" King Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, and he admired his imperial sister-in-law even more, "I didn't expect a snake to analyze so many problems, the imperial sister-in-law is really bold and careful." ’

King Xuan was sighing that Shen Yu had carefully sandwiched the snake eggs into a thick piece of cotton wool.

"This snake egg works?" King Xuan asked, could it be used to go to a bar?

"Of course it works." Shen Yuyu put away five or six snake eggs, wrapped them in cotton wool and put them in the basket, and put a hot hand stove next to them.

Then he looked up at his pretty face and smiled with apricot eyes, "It's very useful, find a way to hatch them, and then use these little snakes to 'fish' out that mysterious man."

"How to 'fish'" method?" King Xuan looked curious, and felt that his imperial sister-in-law was really interesting.

"It's cold outside, go into the warm pavilion and say."

Shen Yuyu told the people in the house to dispose of the dissected poisonous snake, and then found an opportunity to put the snake eggs into the carry-on space, and went to the warm pavilion with King Xuan.

Ji Feng and a group of children in the house watched the rabbits while playing in the snow, giggling and chasing after them, like a group of little bison who were not afraid of the cold, but they all wore warm sheepskin gloves and ear hats, and they didn't necessarily know how cold it was.

In the warm pavilion, several girls were still practicing dance, Shen Yuyu nodded a few words, and then came over to sit down, and continued to talk about the snake while drinking tea with King Xuan.

Shen Yu took a sip of tea, then looked at King Xuan and asked, "Brother Huang, can a poisonous snake like this be brought into the palace from the outside?"

King Xuan shook his head, "It's unlikely, the palace gate is strictly inspected, so it's impossible for such a big snake not to be discovered." ”

After speaking, he added, "There are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry inside and outside the palace, if you want to sneak into the palace quietly with a poisonous snake, it is difficult to do, no matter how high the kung fu is, it will alarm the guards." “

Shen Yuyan nodded in agreement, she had seen it in the palace these days. "Then there is only one possibility, someone is raising poisonous snakes in the palace."

"If it is kept in the palace, it must be kept in a cellar or an underground secret room."

"Not bad." Shen Yuyu nodded firmly, "So the person we are looking for has been lurking in the palace for a day or two, and is very familiar with the palace, and knows where there is a secret room or cellar, and it is unknown." ”

King Xuan's face became solemn, "Then this person is very dangerous, and it is definitely not as simple as a guard." ”

"Well, the imperial sister-in-law thinks so too." Shen Yu held his chin, his apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a sip of tea, "After such scrutiny, I feel more and more that this person has a lot to do with Aya's affairs, let's go, Brother Huang, let's go to Prince Rui's mansion." “

After saying that, Shen Yuyu had already gotten up, and King Xuan hurriedly followed.

He also had some guesses in his heart, this person knew the palace well, and it was definitely not something that a guard could do, unless someone who had lived in it for a long time.

Shen Yuyu and King Xuan soon arrived at Prince Rui's mansion, and Prince Rui and Princess invited them into the warm pavilion to sit. Knowing that they had nothing to do and went to the Three Treasures Palace, they must have something to talk about, so they made hot tea and waited for them to speak.

King Xuan took a sip of tea and looked at Prince Rui: "Uncle Huang, sister-in-law wants to hear the story of the previous dynasty's "Five Sons Seize the Heir" and tell her about it." He changed his usual lazy expression, and seemed to be quite interested in this matter.

Prince Rui nodded, said hello, and talked eloquently while drinking tea.

Empress Changsun of the previous dynasty had five sons-in-law, and the eldest son was made the crown prince.

The crown prince was sickly, and the second son had a gentle and generous personality and couldn't suppress the other three imperial brothers, which caused several imperial brothers to look at him hesitantly.

A year later, the crown prince died of illness, and his second son, Wei Xihe, was made the crown prince.

The three imperial brothers were not convinced, and after some open and secret fighting, Wei Xihe inherited the throne with the full support of Zhou Chenxiang.

"I see." Shen Yuyu nodded, Wei Xihe, the second son of the concubine, is the current Emperor Qi Heng, and put Emperor Qi Heng on the throne, Zhou Chenxiang also thinks that his character is easy to handle, otherwise where would he be prosperous and rich today?

"What happened to the three imperial uncles?" Shen Yuyu asked.

A touch of sadness flashed in Prince Rui's eyes: "The first emperor died, the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the three imperial brothers took the opportunity to rebel and were shot outside the Taihe Palace.

Shen Yuyu sighed for a moment, remembering that the Night King had said that the eldest grandson queen died early, and the current empress dowager is the successor, so he asked: "Then can the current empress dowager have a prince under her knees?" Why have you never seen it?"

"Yes, that's Wei Xuanyuan, he is also one of the traitors, but after the rebellion was quelled, he disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown." After a pause, Prince Rui added, "The emperor received the great favor of the Empress Dowager back then, and he did not hold the Empress Dowager responsible. ”

King Xuan asked, "If Wei Xuanyuan lives to this day, how old will he be?"

"He's a full ten years younger than me, he should be thirty-one." Prince Rui said and looked at Prince Rui with a smile, "Back then, he also coveted the beauty of his wife."

These words touched a sensitive nerve in Shen Yuyu's heart, "Wei Xuanyuan likes the imperial aunt?" And this thing?"

"The disciple." Prince Rui was a little angry when she mentioned it, "Forget it, it's all over, don't mention it." ”

Shen Yuyu couldn't ask what happened back then, so he changed the topic.

"How tall is Wei Xuanyuan? What kind of person is it?"
