"However, the imperial court is going to fight recently, and which is more important in family affairs and state affairs, Concubine Hu will not be unclear." Gu Yuan's voice was low, "If she couldn't figure this out, she wouldn't have been in charge of the harem for so many years." ”

"Ah Yuan, coming back from Yang Ge Lao, I always wanted to ask you something." Shen Zhixi said softly.

Gu Yuan said with a rare face: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

"How did you find out there's a dark room under the military headquarters? How do you know that place is called Lancang Pavilion? ”

Gu Yuan thought for a while and said, "The little old man told me on the thirteenth night. ”

Shen Zhixi was a little confused, "Isn't he speechless?" Also, what happened to him becoming like that? ”

"Thirteen Nights is not a child who has not been able to speak, his voice was poisoned when he was twelve years old, and this secret was told to me a month before he was completely speechless." Gu Yuan explained, "His appearance is also because of that poisoning. ”

Shen Zhixi shook her head and said, "If you think about it carefully, this matter is actually very suspicious. If it is said that he was poisoned and dumbed after telling you the truth about Lancang Pavilion, is there a possibility that someone did not want you to investigate this matter deeply, so they poisoned him? ”

Gu Yuan frowned slightly: "Then why don't you poison me?" ”

Shen Zhixi smiled bitterly: "Actually, they can also poison you, but it's just ...... Your grandfather was still there, and they didn't dare to behave under your grandfather's nose. ”

"How does Your Highness know?"

"Yes, of course...... Guess. Shen Zhixi was a little weak-hearted.

In fact, these things were all "once upon a time" she found out through the secret guard net in her hand, but because more than ten years had passed since this incident, she had not hurt Gu Yuan, so she concealed it from him.

"Your Highness is tricking me." Gu Yuan smiled, "Are you worried that if I know the truth of the matter, I will investigate it, but I will hurt myself." ”

Shen Zhixi couldn't help but smile awkwardly when she saw that her mind was being seen through by Gu Yuan.

"But this matter is unfair to Thirteen Nights, I will investigate it." Gu Yuan smiled and reassured her, "Your Highness relax, there are a lot of people in Yandu City who want to kill me, and I really can't find a few who may kill me." ”

Shen Zhixi thought about it, he was a well-known master of the Xuanxuan Realm in Yuedan's evaluation, and if he wanted to assassinate him, he had to weigh himself.

Gu Yuan said slowly: "Since Your Highness knows what happened to the poison of the Thirteen Nights, can you solve a mystery for me?" ”

Shen Zhixi smiled and raised her eyebrows: "I didn't expect that if I am as smart as Lord Gu, I also need this palace to solve the mystery for you?" ”

Gu Yuan knew that she was joking, so he didn't take it seriously.

"I only know that there is a Lancang Pavilion in the capital, and the Lancang Pavilion Master was poisoned and dumb for thirteen nights." Shen Zhixi rubbed her eyebrows, "You didn't tell me these things in my previous life, and I didn't know that I was hiding in the dark room of the military department on the thirteenth night. But I think there are two people who are suspicious. ”

Gu Yuan asked, "Who?" ”

"One is Tang Lizhi, the old patriarch of the Tang family, and the other is Xie Zhen, Xie Ge Lao."

Tang Lizhi once served as a second assistant in the Zhenyuan Dynasty, and retired to the rivers and lakes over the years, no longer asking about the temple.

And Xie Zhen was born in the Xie family of Chen County, the official residence of the Ministry of Officials, and the second assistant of the cabinet, it should not be difficult to kill a Jianghu person.

Gu Yuan thought for a moment: "I think Cui Xianchun is also possible." ”

"He's not Tang Xiujin, he's not that bold." Shen Zhixi shook her head, "Shen Ying is dead, it's time for Tang Xiujin to find a new chess piece." ”

"It's not easy to find."

Shen Zhixi smiled lightly, "He has found it." ”

Gu Yuan frowned slightly: "He came to tell you?" ”

"You give me a serious point." Shen Zhixi raised his hand to knock him on the head, "Shen Jun, the prince of the King of Chu, went to the Yishui Courtyard today to see Tang Xiujin. ”

"Shen Jun is not Shen Ying's second pole, he is not so easy to fool."

Shen Zhixi reminded: "But the king of Chu will not die soon. ”

That's right.

When Shen Yuan fought the world at the beginning, several brothers all contributed to it, and when He Qinghai was born, the brothers who helped him fight the world together were all named vassal kings and were in charge of one side.

The King of Qi and the King of Chu were both Shen Yuan's brothers, while the King of Qin was somewhat different in that he was Shen Yuan's youngest uncle and grew up with him.

Therefore, the title of King Qin has been hereditary for two generations, and the current sons Shen Chengyi and Shen Zhixi are still the same generation.

Thinking of Shen Chengyi, she suddenly asked, "Shen Chengyi is still hanging outside?" ”

"He took Li Daonan to Tuntian, Xuzhou, and he couldn't come back for a while." Gu Yuan explained.

Li Daonan is a master of agriculture in Jokhang, proficient in water conservancy farming, and is a descendant of Li Daoyuan.

Gu Yuan vaguely remembered that Huang Huai was his student.

"Then again, does the King of Chu have any connection with Shen Jun's secret communication with Tang Xiujin?"

"The connection is not much, but once the king of Chu dies, this hereditary prince will fall to Shen Jun." Only then did Shen Zhixi say what she was worried about, "Shen Jun's city is very deep, it is difficult to control, and he is in touch with Tang Xiujin, what if Tang Xiujin bets this bet on him?" ”

"The name of the thoroughfare of the nine provinces of Huguang is not for nothing, and the king of Chu is still sitting in Jingzhou." Gu Yuan felt that his head hurt again, "It's a little difficult." ”

"If it's difficult, you have to do it, send someone to keep an eye on Shen Jun first, if he has too close a relationship with Tang Xiujin, he has to guard against it." Shen Zhixi took a sip of tea and said, "The two of us have also run a lot of places today, you go back and rest first, maybe there will be another good show tomorrow." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Zhi yawned lazily.

Gu Yuan knew that she should be really sleepy, so he told Ming Qing to take care of His Highness, and then took his leave.

As soon as Gu Yuan left, Ming Qing trotted all the way to the eldest princess's bed with a basin of water: "Your Highness, Ming Qing looks at you and you're in a good mood today." ”

Shen Zhixi now has a headache when she sees this little girl, "No, did I give you that token for you to use casually?" Did Gu Nianqiu ask you to go to court with Shen Ying's suicide note? ”

Ming Qing Ling Ling's eyes immediately flashed a trace of confusion, and then pestered Shen Zhixi to beg for mercy: "Your Highness, Ming Qing is wrong, Ming Qing will never dare again......

Shen Zhixi wasn't very angry at first, and she unconsciously softened her tone when she heard her squeamish: "I know, Mingqing listens to me the most, it's this Gu Nianqiu who brought you badly!" ”

Ming Qing nodded indignantly, and thought of a very important question: "Your Highness, how do you know that this letter was given by Miss Gu San?" ”

Shen Zhixi rubbed her eyebrows, a little helpless: "Second Miss can't do such a bold thing, and only Nian'er dares to do it." ”

Ming Qing wiped Shen Zhixi's face and hands and said, "Your Highness, what did you talk about with Master Gu, so happy?" ”

Shen Zhixi glared at her: "Why are you also messing around?" ”

"Mingqing is curious." Mingqing's watery eyes blinked quickly, and Shen Zhixi, who had just lamented her strange gossip psychology all day long, also wanted to praise her for her sparkling eyes and her ability to speak.

So Shen Zhixi thought seriously for a moment, and said seriously: "I talked to him for a while......"

Mingqing listened intently.

“…… Human words. ”

Here Gu Yuan returned to Tangli Courtyard, and Yu An also greeted him: "My lord, what have you talked about with the eldest princess, so happy?" ”

Gu Yuan raised his hand and knocked on his head: "Why are you so gossipy?" ”

"So what are you talking about with Your Highness?"

"Human words."

Yu An: "......"

Before he could react from Gu Yuan's cold joke, Gu Yuan sent him an errand: "Tomorrow, you will take someone to keep an eye on Shen Jun's movements, as well as ......"

Yu An was curious: "And what?" ”

"And if he has any people he likes."

Yu An was completely stunned.

Early the next morning, as soon as Shen Zhixi woke up, Ming Qing hurriedly ran over: "Your Highness, Your Highness!" ”

Shen Zhixi saw that this little girl seemed to be a little excited, so she asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Highness, come and see! There's a good thing! ”

Shen Zhixi frowned, what are the good things in this morning?

She followed Mingqing to the pavilion, where a letter and a sandalwood box were placed on the stone table.

Shen Zhixi was slightly stunned, "Who gave this?" ”

Mingqing smiled brightly: "Your Highness doesn't know yet, this small box is a gift from the colt!" ”

Shen Zhixi suddenly remembered something.

Today is April 17th, her birthday!

Shen Zhixi has never cared much about her birthday, but she didn't expect Gu Yuan to remember it better than her, and she even knew that she liked to use sandalwood furniture.

When she was young, her father once told her not to let people find out their preferences casually.

Born in the royal family, you must always keep some means to save your life.

But Gu Yuan is the only exception for her.

Shen Zhixi once hid a lot from him in order to prevent him from getting involved in the political struggle between her and Tang Xiujin.

But she never thought of guarding him, and she fought with Tang Xiujin back and forth, and his secret guards might not be able to find out.

Shen Zhixi gathered her past thoughts and reached out to pick up the letter.

There were a few thin gold books on the envelope, and she looked down at them, and there were four words written on them.

His Royal Highness personally enlightened.

Let her open this box herself? Shen Zhixi weighed the box, and only felt that there should be a lot of things in it.

When she opened it, the first thing that caught her eye was a tasseled step.

Shen Zhixi smiled lightly, this step is very exquisite.

Putting away his "greeting gift", she found that there was also a moon-white headband in the box, and the white headband sparkled in the morning light.

She remembered clearly that this hairband was given to him by some palace rewards when she left Liaodong, but she didn't expect him to treasure this small object for so many years.

At the bottom of the box was a thick stack of letter paper, Shen Zhixi pondered, if it was a love letter, when did it have to be written?

It probably has to be written from the twenty-third year of Zhenyuan, when they first met in this life.
