The night breeze was slightly cool, Shen Sitang sat in front of the window, holding a small white porcelain bottle in his hand, staring without sleep.

She wasn't looking at how delicate this small porcelain vase was, and she wasn't excited because this medicine was given by the Jun Ting Banquet, she was just thinking, is there anything to do with the Jun Ting Banquet and the case of the Three Princes?

Xu Wangda, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, had dealings with Li Guichuan, which is very doubtful, not to mention that Xu Wangda was once a person under the queen.

The queen is the biological mother of Jun Tingyan, because the Yan Dynasty has a rule that the elder does not stand up, but Jun Tingyan is a concubine but does not have a chance to take the throne, is he really willing? It is also very likely that the mother and son want to exclude dissidents.

But why didn't you attack the crown prince or the second prince, but choose the third prince? Does this matter have anything to do with the Gu clan in Southern Xinjiang?

Shen Sitang fell into deep thought, constantly reviewing all the clues about the case of the three princes in his mind.

It wasn't until late at night that Shen Sitang couldn't resist the sleepiness, so he put away the small porcelain vase and fell asleep with his thoughts.

——

Huamanlou is the best restaurant in the capital, whether it is good wine, good food or pastries and tea, it is impossible to find fault, Chen Yue'an is a frequent visitor here, and the shopkeeper Xiao Er is very enthusiastic when he sees him.

"Lord Chen is here, please come inside."

Shen Sitang followed Chen Yue'an into the seat: "Brother Chen, you said that you had something to look for me, what is the matter?" ”

Chen Yue'an glanced at her, and when Xiao Er finished ordering the dishes, he walked away before leaning forward and whispering, "Recently, the evil sect has been very evil." ”

"Evil Sect?" Shen Sitang also leaned forward, looked around sneakily and asked him, "What kind of evil method?" ”

"I've been very unlucky lately, the day before yesterday I was looking for you to eat, and the governor knew about it, and the governor fined me for a month, at first I thought it was who sued, but then I asked, and they all said they didn't sue." Chen Yue'an stretched out his hand and put it to his mouth, and said in a very low voice: "Qianning, do you say that it is possible, I am entangled in unclean things?" ”

The corners of Shen Sitang's mouth twitched: "Probably not, but Brother Chen, if I'm not mistaken, you are on duty today?" You've been fined, how dare you come out to eat? ”

Hearing this, Chen Yue'an waved his hand indifferently: "I was troublesome, so I simply asked the governor to punish me for a year, and the governor said that since this is the case, I can eat outside if I want to, but he doesn't care." ”

Shen Sitang helped the forehead, she had heard of the salary advance, but she had never seen the person who paid the fine in advance, worthy of Brother Chen.

Chen Yue was relieved: "Qianning, wait a while, you will accompany me to Jingyuan Temple, and I will go to worship the Buddha to get rid of bad luck." ”

Shen Sitang doesn't have any problems, but?

"Why did Brother Chen ask me to accompany him? Doesn't the Inspectorate have a lot of brothers? ”

"Them?" Chen Yue'an pouted: "The person on duty has no time to accompany me, and it is impossible for those who are not on duty to kneel down and beg them to waste time for me, thinking about it, it is still the most suitable for you, anyway, you are idle." ”

Shen Sitang didn't know whether to feel honored or unfortunate after listening to it.

After lunch at Huamanlou, Shen Sitang accompanied Chen Yue'an to Jingyuan Temple outside the capital.

The people of the Yan Dynasty believed in Buddhism and Taoism, and it was strange that Taoism and Buddhism were very friendly, which could be called a brother sect, and in her cognition, the two religions had always been incompatible because of their competitive relationship.

Perhaps because in the Yan Dynasty, most of the temples were built near the city, and the people offered incense, while the Taoist temples were mostly built in the deep mountains and old forests, relying on believers to pay tribute, and there was little conflict between the two.

Shen Sitang followed Chen Yue'an to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and watched him put a gold ingot into the merit box.

She looked at one of the broken pieces of silver in her hand, silently took two more pieces of broken silver from the money bag, and threw one of them into the merit box.

"Qianning, are you alright?"

"Alright."

"Then let's go."

"Hmm."

The two burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, and when they crossed the threshold, they met with the two women, and Shen Sitang subconsciously stopped and looked over.

They were supposed to be master servants, and the woman who walked in front of them was slender and wore a white hat, and the woman behind her wore a veil.

It was not unusual for women to wear veils to go out, and the reason why Shen Sitang noticed them was that the aroma on their bodies was too familiar, and she had smelled this smell in the room where the Oiran was intoxicated by Yichun Courtyard.

"Qianning?"

Chen Yue'an, who was walking in front, turned around to look at her, and Shen Sitang retracted his gaze and chased after her.

"What's wrong?"

"It's fine." Shen Sitang shook his head and smiled, and asked casually, "Brother Chen, what happened to Yichun Courtyard?" ”

Chen Yue'an didn't know why: "Why did you suddenly ask about Yichun Courtyard?" ”

"Just ask."

Chen Yue'an didn't think much about it, and said: "Li Guichuan's family and Jiao Niang have been assigned to the frontier, and the shops have also been copied, but Yichun Yuan has not moved, Your Majesty does not want to tarnish the royal reputation, and let them fend for themselves, but I heard that Oiran is obsessed with taking over Yichun Yuan, and Yichun Yuan's business is even better than before." ”

Shen Sitang subconsciously turned her head to look at it again, the temple was crowded, and she couldn't see the two women for a long time.

Chen Yue'an smiled and touched her arm with his elbow: "When are we going to play again?" ”

Shen Sitang laughed: "Brother Chen, have you forgotten that I am a woman?" ”

"What's wrong with the woman? Who said women can't go to the green house? ”

"If you want to go, I won't go."

"Oh, you should come with me."

Shen Sitang ignored him, Chen Yue'an was still energetic, chattering beside her endlessly, until the two walked down the steps and arrived at the entrance of the temple.

Chen Yue'an stopped, and Shen Sitang also stopped.

"What's wrong, Brother Chen?"

Chen Yue'an pouted down the steps, where a monk was holding a young Taoist priest in Taoist robes with open arms.

"Little master, Poor Dao is really a disciple of Qingfeng Guan Chongde Zhenren, Poor Dao has no worries, please go in and spread it, Poor Dao has something urgent to see the abbot of Yuanming."

"How can the little monk believe you? Qingfeng Temple is the first Taoist temple of the Yan Dynasty, Chongde Zhenren is a famous figure in the Taoist Gate, how can his personal disciples come to visit for no reason, you don't even have a post, go quickly, the abbot of Yuanming is not something that anyone can see. ”

"Little master, Poor Dao went out this time for private matters, and he had no intention of disturbing, so there was no post, but there was a problem on Poor Dao's side, and he came to see the abbot of Yuanming when he was desperate, and the little master was accommodating, it was really a matter of human life!"

"No, no, what if you're a liar? The abbot will definitely punish the little monk for disturbing his cultivation. ”

"Poor Dao is not a liar, little master, Poor Dao begs you, Poor Dao is here to redeem Poor Dao's sister this time, but they said that there is no such person as Poor Dao's sister in the house, and Poor Dao sent a letter a few days ago, how could it not be? The sister of the poor road is afraid that something will happen, ask the abbot of Yuanming to help the poor road, save the poor sister of the poor road! ”

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he knelt down, and the monk who stopped him was embarrassed for a while, but finally relented.

"Okay, the little monk will go and spread the word, and the Taoist friends are waiting here."

Chen Yue'an tugged at Shen Sitang's sleeve: "Let's go." ”

Shen Sitang kept up with him: "I thought Brother Chen was going to help him." ”

Chen Yue'an said with a smile: "The Inspectorate is not in charge of everything, and with the abbot of Yuanming to help him, there should be no problem, so why meddle." ”

Shen Sitang nodded and left with Chen Yue'an.
