In the scorching heat of July, Kyoto is hot, this is the first time Shen Xihe has experienced Kyoto in the middle of summer, and it is so hot that even the insects between the branches and leaves have stopped.

The original plan to escape the summer was also canceled because King Jing rebelled and the prince died. His Majesty personally ordered that entertainment be banned throughout Kyoto in March.

After receiving a letter from his father to return to the northwest safely, Shen Xihe dressed up and washed his face, and went to see Emperor Youning.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed away, and the name of the son living in the East Palace is not right, I am here to ask for my resignation today, and I hope that Your Majesty will allow the child to return to the county lord's mansion to give birth." Shen Xihe brought pearls and jasper, one of them held the booklet and the other held the seal, which was to hand over the power.

Shen Xihe handed over the power, and Emperor Youning was naturally happy to see it, but the palace power handed back to him was not so easy to receive.

The crown prince died, but he was buried as the crown prince, and he died as the prince, so naturally he could not arrange Shen Xihe to the mansion of the sixteen kings. It is even more impossible to let Shen Xihe return to the county lord's mansion to give birth.

Where is there a married girl who goes back to her parents' house for no reason? What's more, Xiao Huayong has just entered the ground, and there was such an incident in the palace yesterday.

At this time, Shen Xihe returned to the county lord's mansion, obviously announcing her grievances in the palace.

The most important point is that Shen Xihe has not yet given birth, and it is well known in the palace and outside the palace that Shen Xihe is pregnant with a baby boy, and he has already given the child a name, but in the end, it has not yet been born, and it is inconclusive whether it is a man or a woman.

Emperor Youning will not let Shen Xihe leave the palace, Shen Xihe must give birth to a child under his nose, and he will never allow anyone to confuse the royal bloodline.

As for making Shen Xihe unable to give birth to this child, Emperor Youning never thought that this was his brother's only bloodline, and he didn't want the Shen bloodline to inherit the unification, but he was not so afraid that he didn't dare to let Shen Xihe give birth to this child.

If you want to keep Shen Xihe in the palace, it is not suitable for the East Palace to be placed anywhere, and the East Palace is unique to the Imperial Palace.

"You are pregnant, this is Qilang's only blood, I and the Queen Mother can not afford to lose, the East Palace is where Qilang has lived since he was a child, you can wait for childbirth with peace of mind, and the rest of the things will be discussed after you give birth safely." Emperor Youning arranged so.

As for whether Shen Xihe will continue to live in the East Palace after giving birth, this Emperor Youning did not give a promise. If Shen Xihe was born to be the emperor's grandson, it would not be possible to live in the East Palace all the time.

"As for the palace affairs...... after a pause, Emperor Youning said, "You take the safety of the fetus as the priority, and the palace affairs will be handed over to the Queen Mother for some time." ”

Although Concubine Rong in the palace was reinstated, her original crime was obviously not suitable for holding the palace again, and the remaining concubines were still locked up in confinement in order to explain to Shen Xihe because of the unscrupulous exit that day.

There were not many high-ranking concubines, and Emperor Youning didn't want to have another incident, so he personally took Shen Xihe to find the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother promised to take over temporarily.

Emperor Youning's arrangement was basically expected by Shen Xihe, she knew that Emperor Youning would not let her out of the palace, but she would make a preemptive strike, so as not to attract discussion later.

Back in the East Palace, Shen Xihe had just used a mouthful of warm water, and Tianyuan hurriedly came: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the person has been intercepted." ”

The tea bowl is still on the lips, and the porcelain white and delicate bowl edge sets off Shen Xihe's pink lips are particularly fresh, and the shallow hooked corners of the lips make Shen Xihe look like a person is not close to her, and bring her to the palace.

At night, Shen Xihe walked into the secret passage of the palace for the second time, and the last time was when she got married, Xiao Huayong took her out of the secret passage and secretly met Shen Yunan.

There are not many secret passages in the palace, probably in order to hide people's eyes and ears when they were built, there are only three, one is the court leading to the outside of the palace and the Qinzheng Palace, one is the East Palace leading to the outside of the palace and the Taihe Palace, and the other is the catering supervisor leading to the Qinglong Gate.

The three roads are not intersected, but a dark room can be formed around the corner.

Shen Xihe stood in the middle of the secret passage of the East Palace, looking at the person tied to the wooden frame, with a cold expression: "Who asked you to instigate the Li family, say it, I will let you die happily." ”

That's right, this woman with a pale face and chapped lips is none other than Yu Sanning, who has committed suicide by taking poison.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, can you tell me first, how did you know that I cheated my death?" Yu Sanning seemed calm on his face, but in fact, he was panicked and unwilling.

Maybe Shen Xihe deterred her too deeply, and she would always be uneasy about Shen Xi and her, if she was forced to do so, she really didn't want to be an enemy of Shen Xihe.

Therefore, before she was summoned to the East Palace, she had taken poison, which was truly poisonous, and even if the imperial doctor examined the blood she vomited, there would be no mistakes.

It's just that she took the corresponding antidote early, although she can't restrain each other in pairs, but the residual antidote can dissolve most of the toxins and save her life.

Some of the people left by her father fell into her hands, these people will definitely be able to save her from escaping, it just so happened that Li Yanyan burned the royal mansion last night, and the people guarding her violent corpse were lax, she was just replaced and rescued, and as soon as she left the gate of Kyoto, she was caught.

At first, she thought it was the person who forced her to be an enemy of Shen Xihe, but now she realized that it was Shen Xihe.

"You died too simply." Shen Xihe replied to her lightly, "You are rich and noble, people like you hate the injustice of the world, but they are unwilling to live an ordinary life, and they will never die calmly if they love the prosperity of the world." Even if you are at the end of the road, you will also be vigorous and die a well-known death. ”

Yu Sanning took the antidote in advance and there was a smell of medicine on her body, the smell of medicine was not only the breath of poison, but also some others, Shen Xihe knew some medicinal herbs, and Pearl and Sui Axi both diagnosed Yu Sanning's pulse that day, and it is not difficult to know what poison she died of.

Shen Xihe asked about this poison antidote again, knowing that there were medicinal materials she smelled in the antidote, so he asked the two pearls to give it a try, whether taking the antidote first and then taking the poison could save their lives, the answer was naturally self-evident.

These Shen Xihe naturally won't tell Yu Sangning.

"That's all?" Yu Sanning didn't believe it.

"Staring at you is just sending two people, and there are countless people on my side, and it is not troublesome." Shen Xihe said, "Even if you don't cheat death, I also want to see if someone collects the body for you, and whether this person is related to the person who instructed you." ”

Obviously, Shen Xihe's later words won Yu Sanning's trust, Yu Sanning's expression was a little sluggish, and he said dejectedly: "I don't know who asked me to find the Li family." ”

Shen Xihe's face did not change, and he looked at her coldly.

"I don't know." Yu Sanning said eagerly, "They arrested my brother and sister, I can't find anyone, if I don't follow, they will bring out the matter of my sister, and they will kill my brother and blame me!" And what I've done in the past, they're going to make it known. ”

What she did in the past was to trap her grandmother, kill people and kill her superiors, and for the sake of her family status, she also tricked her colleagues to hang herself?

Maybe there is much more to it behind the scenes, after all, Shen Xihe didn't pay much attention to her, but Shen Xihe didn't pay attention, so naturally there were people who felt that she was usable.
