On the day she went back, Shen Xian didn't say a word about what Emperor Hongzheng said to her.

At night, Shi Ling washed the blood stains on his body before he dared to go to the bed.

Shen Xian immediately turned around and hugged him very tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear from her side in the next second.

Shi Ling also hugged her hard, but his brows were furrowed, as if he had a thousand words to say.

"Nguyen Nguyen..."

Shen Xian actually stretched out her hand to cover his mouth: "I won't tell your majesty what I said, let's treat it as if nothing happened, okay?" ”

Shi Ling grabbed her hand, and his tone was a little anxious: "You tell me what he told you first?" ”

Regardless of whether Emperor Hongzheng is looking for Shen Xian today or not, it is impossible for them to treat this incident as if it did not happen, and everything will be different after today.

There will be turmoil in the court, and the people of Kyoto Castle will start to rumor.

Shen Xian raised her eyes to look at him, reached out and touched his sharp sword eyebrows, and said softly, "Ziqing, aren't you tired?" Do we sleep well? ”

Shi Ling's brows furrowed even tighter.

Shen Xian immediately smoothed him with her slightly cool fingertips, and reluctantly raised a smile and said: "Don't worry, no danger will happen with you, I believe in you, you have to believe me, even if Your Majesty says something to me, it must not be a bad thing." ”

Shi Ling grabbed her hand.

"I don't know what the imperial brother told you, but don't listen, he is very good at using people's weaknesses to do things for him, I'll do those things, you don't need to worry about it."

Shen Xian waited for him to finish speaking, and immediately stretched her neck and kissed his lips, learning from Shi Ling's old appearance and taking the initiative to entangle with him.

This is the first time that Shen Xian has been so active on the couch.

Although Shi Ling clearly knew that she was avoiding her own problems, she made this decision.

But after all, he is a man, how can he bear it if his wife takes the initiative to show affection?

When people are courageous, grasp the initiative, and revitalize the husband.

-

His Majesty was in poor health, and he resigned from the court for a few days, and the courtiers privately discussed whether to promote the crown prince to the throne as soon as possible.

It can be seen that Shi Yanyuan is not in a hurry at all, and even rushes to investigate who sent the assassin for His Majesty's birthday banquet every day.

Everyone deeply felt the filial piety of the prince, and at the same time began to be anxious.

Several courtiers gathered privately in Yixinlou.

"You said that our prince has a really big heart, and now at this critical moment, he doesn't want to win people's hearts and run to check the assassin."

"Who's to say it isn't? The assassin has his own criminal department for interrogation, what kind of excitement is he making, I see that the three princes are running to Shen Shangshu's mansion all day long, most likely trying to win over the Shen family. ”

Another person waved his hand: "I can't see it, you think about it, Shen Xian, the daughter of the Shen family, married King Xuan, who doesn't know that King Xuan is towards the prince?" The Shen family doesn't understand that they are in the same boat with the prince. ”

Some people disagreed: "Not necessarily, Shen Xian is just a concubine after all, then Shen Yuanhe is the concubine of the Eight Classics, who knows what he thinks, he has saved the three princes twice in the Keju competition and the birthday banquet, which is not obvious to the three princes of the team." ”

Several people chatted for a long time but did not reach an agreement, and finally returned a gamble saying whether the Shen family was on the side of the third prince or the prince.

This matter was discussed, and it actually spread to the people, and the stakes were getting bigger and bigger, and when Shen Xian was tending to flowers and plants in the palace, she heard that she accidentally cut off a green peony that was blooming brightly.

She frowned distressedly, and Xiangnong hurriedly said: "Miss cut it well, this pot of green peonies will definitely grow better next year, I'll put the peony hairpin on the young lady, right?" ”

In the past, when Shen Xian couldn't find a good-looking hair ornament, she would go to the yard to find a hairpin with the best blooming flowers in her hair, which was not only beautiful but also attracted butterflies.

Shen Xian nodded, and let Xiangnong give her hairpin in her hair, which was beautiful and elegant without losing her luxury, she was very satisfied.

"Xiangnong, go find Ah Feng."

"What are you doing with that nerd? Miss is going out? ”

Shen Xian looked at her with a smile: "What? I can't look for him if I don't go out? So stingy? ”

Xiangnong's face suddenly turned red, he bit his lower lip and stomped his feet: "How can there be!" Miss don't make fun of him, I'll get him. ”

Shen Xian watched her leave, and gradually put away her smile.

Ah Feng has been very busy these days, and today he finally had time to relax for a while, and he was called over by Xiangnong.

He wasn't annoyed, he was even happy.

"Princess, are you looking for me?"

Shen Xian took out a box of money bags from her box and handed it to Ah Feng.

Ah Feng's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "The princess can't help it." ”

Xiangnon also frowned, as if she was a little envious of him.

"This money is not for you."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Shen Xian said: "Do you know where the gambling house where the people privately discuss the future prince? ”

Ah Feng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

This kind of thing is big but it is going to lose its head, and no one dares to really talk about it on the bright side, but there are some black gambling houses that believe in starving to death the timid to support the bold.

As long as the gamble is opened, then they will make a lot of money.

Shen Xian handed him the heavy silver and said, "You go to place a bet, and you will bet on the eighteen princes." ”

Ah Feng's hand to take the money shook, and the money bag missed his palm and fell straight down, and then immediately squatted down and scooped it up, looking a little puzzled: "What did you say?" ”

Princess Xuan not only had to gamble, but also gambled on a completely different answer.

Shen Xian raised her eyes to look at him: "Just do it." ”

Ah Feng wanted to say something more, but Shen Xian's expression was too serious, and he was sure that Shen Xian was not joking to fool him.

"Hide yourself when you go, don't show your face, and show a little bit of horse's feet when you come back, so that people know that you are from Xuanwangfu."

Ah Feng frowned: "The master of this matter..."

"Why am I not the master of the palace?"

"That's not what my subordinates meant! It's just..."

Shen Xian said sharply with a cold face: "Then it's not just, I will explain Ziqing's side, you don't have to worry about him will punish you." ”

Ah Feng was silent for a long time, but he was still ready to act according to orders.

On the same day, the gambling house spread, a mysterious man dressed in black and wearing a hat, spent a lot of money to bet on the young eighteen princes!

Who doesn't know how the fourteen princes can be the prince of a country when they are young and ignorant, or at an age when they are nursing and shouting mothers?

Besides, the mother of the eighteen princes is just a girl, and her status is not worthy of the position of the queen mother at all, so everyone laughed and didn't care.

If the people in the gambling house hadn't seen him throw a bag of gold on the table, they would have thought that this man had come to smash the field.

But someone with a heart found that this person turned a corner and entered the mansion of King Xuan of the current dynasty.

So this is what King Xuan meant?

King Xuan was originally the most likely candidate to become the prince, but when he was found, he said that he would not be the emperor, and even swore a poisonous oath to Mingzhi.

Now King Xuan is on the side of the prince on the surface, but he secretly supports the eighteen princes in private, does he want to support the puppet emperor and dominate himself?
