"Do you know why you didn't continue to check?"

Shen Lian was placing the purchased supper on the dining table in different categories, when he suddenly heard Yun Shuiyao say this, he immediately stopped his movements, and looked at each other with his eyes, looking forward to what was going on.

Yun Shuiyao pulled out a chair and sat down, took out the chopsticks and spoon in the oiled paper bag, handed one to Shen Lian, and said, "I can tell you, but you have to rot in your stomach, no one can say." ”

Shen Lian was stunned, keenly aware that what Yun Shuiyao was going to say next might involve some secrets, he leaned forward and asked in a voice almost mosquito-like, "Involving harem secrets?" ”

"You don't have to be so careful, I set up the formation, and the conversation between the two of us can't be heard outside." Yun Shuiyao looked at Shen Lian with a nervous look funny, and continued: "That's right, it's a great secret. ”

Shen Lian suddenly shrunk his neck and hurriedly shook his head, "Forget it, I won't listen, I plan to live to be a hundred years old, with a group of wives and concubines, and a full house of children and grandchildren." ”

"Flutter~"

Yun Shuiyao couldn't help laughing, looked at Shen Lian thoughtfully, and said, "It's not that serious, it happened more than ten years ago, but you still plan to have a group of wives and concubines?" How many are you going to marry? ”

At this time, Shen Lian was busy helping Yun Shui Yao make soup, and he didn't see the other party's eyes, so he said jokingly: "Why can't you marry ten or eight, my old Shen family has three generations of single inheritance, and you have to spread out when you come to me, do you say yes." ”

"It's you, huh." Yun Shuiyao pinched her waist with both hands, "Look at what you can, I have to tell you the secrets of the harem today." ”

"Don't, don't, fairy-sama, I don't want to know." Shen Lian wanted to cry without tears.

The secrets of the harem are not very glorious, and it is not good to know too much.

"The queen mother is not kind to Li Skirt, but she has hatred, or great hatred."

As soon as Yun Shuiyao's words came out, Shen Lian's gossip heart that had been dormant for a long time instantly jumped.

What's that? Instead of grace, there is hatred? Mama Rong said that the queen saved Li Skirt back then.

"Interested? Not scared anymore? Looking at Shen Lian's pricked up ears, the corners of Yun Shuiyao's mouth rose and said softly.

"Ahem, seeing how hard you said, it's hard for you to be an audience." Shen Lian's dead duck was hard-mouthed and resolutely refused to admit it.

"Cut~~" Yun Shuiyao glanced at him and continued: "I'm also listening to De.. Listening to what others said, when Li Skirt was doing miscellaneous work in the queen's palace, she was accidentally given by the drunken emperor... Fortunately, when the queen mother learned about it, she was very annoyed and ordered someone to wash the body of Li Skirt with saffron, causing Li Skirt to completely lose her qualification to be a mother; Only a few people know about this matter, so that Mama Rong mistakenly thought that the queen mother was kind to Li Skirt. ”

"That's why Li Skirt committed suicide!" Shen Lian thought back to the case and said with a frown.

"Hmm." Yun Shuiyao looked a little lonely.

"But why did the queen save her? A little palace maid can't get into the eyes of the queen, right? Shen Lian felt that there was a contradiction here.

Yun Shuiyao shrugged helplessly and said, "At that time, the queen mother had just been sealed, and the mother was in the world for less than half a month, and she didn't want to leave a ruthless impression on others. ”

The more Shen Lian listened, the more confused he became, just after the seal?

How old is the emperor, and there will be a queen decades after ascending the throne?

Isn't this a big joke in the world!

The queen is the mother of the country, how can she be vacant for so long.

Shen Lian moved a chair and sat beside Yun Shuiyao, and the two were side by side.

Yun Shuiyao symbolically dodged, and her body moved about half a centimeter.

"The position of Empress has been vacant for so many years?" Shen Lian said the question in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Yun Shuiyao's originally radiant eyes dimmed instantly, and her mood was also depressed, and after a long while, she slowly spoke and said, "Actually, the current queen mother is not the one when the emperor ascended the throne. ”

Shen Lian's brows furrowed.

Not the original one?

Feelings, this emperor who can't even choose the crown prince has abolished the queen?

"The original queen was Empress Rende, the mother of the current eldest princess, and about thirteen years ago, Empress Rende died of illness, and the position of queen became vacant." Yun Shuiyao glanced at Shen Lian, pondered her words, and continued: "At that time, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Ming fought for the position of queen, and in the end, Concubine Ming won and became the current queen. ”

I.... Say....

And such a history?

Back then, the two mothers competed for the position of queen, and now the sons of these two are competing for the position of the crown prince, which can be called a feud......

"Okay, that's the way it is, now you understand why I didn't let you keep looking." Yun Shuiyao blinked her big eyes, with an expression of I said everything that should be said, and you pondered it yourself.

Understood, I get it all now!

With the information provided by Yun Shuiyao, the fragmented case immediately gathered into a book in Shen Lian's mind, and the whole story became clearer and clearer.

Concubine Xuan's mother is a good means!

Through Ma Xin, he found the Li skirt who hated the queen to the bone, and pulled her together to lay out the white king in prison, and the three law divisions would definitely find Li Skirt when investigating the case, but at this time Li Skirt had disappeared, and the queen had saved Li Skirt's life It is a well-known thing, and at this time, it was the time when the emperor pre-appointed the crown prince, considering the dispute between the white king and the red king's east palace, in the eyes of outsiders, the whole thing formed a reasonable closed loop: in order to help her son Red King win the crown prince, the queen used Li Skirt, who had been saved by herself, to set a trap, lured the white king to offend Concubine Ling, and then was convicted and disqualified from competing for the crown prince.

But the actual situation is indeed that Concubine Xuan is drawing her salary from the bottom of the kettle and framing the queen.

"Got it?" Yun Shuiyao looked at Shen Lian's face uncertain, sometimes frowning, sometimes glaring, sometimes nodding, looking like this.

"Well, it's just that there are some details that I can't figure out, and Concubine Xuan is not rigorous enough."

"That's right, otherwise you won't find out the case, in fact, the details are not important, royal affairs have never paid attention to details, only pay attention to the overall situation; When a party becomes the target of public criticism, even if it is false, it will become true; If it weren't for the slippery head of the three law divisions at the beginning, which caused Concubine Xuan to miss the best opportunity, I am afraid that the queen mother would have been at a loss for words. Yun Shuiyao said lightly.

"Hey, you said that if I turned this matter up, would I offend Concubine Xuan and the White King?" Shen Lian said what he was most concerned about.

What does the royal business have to do with me?

I only care about my own safety.

"It's not enough to offend the White King, as far as I know, he will definitely not approve of Concubine Xuan doing this; But Concubine Xuan's words, congratulations, you have successfully promoted her to a thorn in her eye, a thorn in her flesh. ”

Shen Lian was shocked, this was what he was most afraid of.

The most poisonous woman's heart, let alone the imperial concubine?

"You don't have to worry too much, Concubine Xuan won't have the energy to deal with you in the short term, and when she frees her hand, maybe she won't be able to deal with you."

Yun Shui Yao pouted her small mouth, and her appearance was particularly playful.

"What do you mean?" Shen Lian was puzzled.

In Concubine Xuan's eyes, I'm not even a grasshopper.....

"It's stupid." Yun Shuiyao gently pushed Shen Lian, and then whispered in Shen Lian's ear: "Concubine Xuan has to bear the anger from the emperor and the queen first, especially the queen, do you really think that the master of the harem is just a name?" There are so many concubines, why did she become a queen? There are many means. ”

After Yun Shuiyao finished speaking, Shen Lian suddenly realized.

There is a way to come and not be rude, and the queen is going to fight back.

In the imperial study, after the emperor listened to the report of the chief eunuch, he was furious and immediately drove to the palace of Concubine Xuan.

When the emperor arrived, Concubine Xuan, who knew that the matter had been revealed, was about to kill Ma Xin and was hit by the emperor.

In order to save her life, the palace maid Ma Xin told everything she knew.

Later, the emperor and Concubine Xuan dismissed all their subordinates and talked secretly alone.

The content of the conversation is unknown, but many palace maids and eunuchs saw the emperor leave angrily.

On the morning of the second day, a holy decree was issued, demoting Concubine Xuan from a noble concubine to a concubine, and the white king was acquitted.

On the afternoon of the same day, the queen announced the rectification of the order of the harem, and issued thirty decrees in a row, all of which were aimed at Concubine Xuan; All of a sudden, there were many beauties in the harem and no one dared to communicate with Concubine Xuan.

After Shen Lian and Yun Shuiyao had dinner that night, because there was no bed in the class room, the two couldn't rest, so they simply played chess all night.

When Shen Lian sent Yun Shuiyao away the next morning, Xiao Qi, who was on duty at the door, saw that the two of them were exhausted, and suddenly admired Shen Lian even more.

Mr. Shen is amazing, tossed all night?!

-------------------------------------

Three days later, Shen Lian, who was lazy in the Shadow Secret Guard's Yamen, suddenly received a holy decree and announced that he would enter the palace to face the saint.

Also on the way was the Shadow Guard's Commander Iron Ruthless.

In the carriage, Shen Lian was still sitting opposite Tie Ruthless, at a loss.

"Commander, what do you say the emperor is looking for me?"

"You've done a great job, it's definitely a good thing." Tie looked at Shen Lian ruthlessly and said with a smile.

"The emperor wants to reward me?" Shen Lian was overjoyed.

The emperor's reward is not a small object, it is often a hundred taels of gold, a thousand horses of silk, and there are 10,000 acres of fertile land.

Thinking about it, Shen Lian couldn't help but fantasize about the days when he resigned as a charter officer.

Seeing that he was more and more unable to extricate himself from imagining the future, Tie Wuru shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said in his heart: The emperor is stingy, how happy you kid is now, how disappointed you will be later, although I know, but I just won't tell you, hahaha.

"Maybe when you enter the palace, you will be the chief banner of the shadow secret guard, and when you leave the palace, you will be a courthorse." Suddenly, Tie ruthlessly said this.

Shen Lian was immediately pulled back to reality from his fantasy.

What? Bridegroom?

His eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

"Happy, aren't you?" Iron Ruthless still has that smiling expression.

Glad?

Happy hair!

The princess is not easy to serve, what if it is more than 200 pounds, and the beauty is not obvious?

I'm still thinking about marrying a few concubines, if I become a concubine, wouldn't it be a soup?

The feeling of heaven falling into hell, Shen Lian experienced.

"Refers to.... Commander, you didn't tease me, did you? Do a colt? Shen Lian asked with a smile, but laughing was more ugly than crying.

"Ah, what kind of expression do you have, how many people's dreams are to be a horse, you don't have to struggle in this life, isn't it beautiful to stretch out your hands and open your mouth?" Iron ruthlessly quipped deliberately.

Tie Ruthless's face couldn't see any flaws, Shen Lian was a little worried, couldn't it be that this Shadow Secret Guard Commander really knew something?

When the emperor saw that I was witty and handsome, he immediately liked me and decided to marry his daughter to me and completely turn me into his own?

Nima, the more Shen Lian thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

At this moment, the appearance of Yun Shuiyao and Yun Shuang kept flashing in his mind.

It's over, I was still worried a few days ago, and who will let them do the main house in the future, don't worry about it now.

Like last time, the iron and ruthless carriage went all the way unimpeded and arrived at the imperial study room smoothly.

The two got out of the car, walked up the steps, and waited outside the imperial study, while the chief eunuch went to report it.

At this time, the emperor was discussing with Princess Dening about the invasion of the frontier by the Buddha Kingdom, and the atmosphere was not very good.

With the emperor's permission, Shen Lian followed Tie ruthlessly into the imperial study.

Princess Dening was originally standing next to the emperor, but when she saw Shen Lian enter the door, she suddenly turned around, took out a veil and put it on, covering the lower part of her eyes.

The emperor felt his daughter's movements and couldn't help frowning.

What happened to Dening? Why do you suddenly wear a veil?

When the emperor's eyes swept over Shen Lian's body, his heart was extremely clear in an instant.

I see, my daughter has reached the age of marriage, and this general banner is extremely handsome, quite like the style of my youth, and it is understandable that Dening is a little shy.

However, Shen Lian's identity is a little worse, and he is far less worthy of my eldest princess.

"Chen Tie ruthlessly has seen the emperor and Princess Dening."

"Chen Shen Lian has seen the emperor and Princess Dening."

There is a kind of imitation, Shen Lian followed the iron ruthlessly and saluted.

"The two Aiqing are exempt from courtesy." The emperor's voice is like a bell, giving people a supreme majesty.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

Standing up straight, Shen Lian was instantly attracted by Princess Dening beside the emperor.

This is the famous Princess Dening? Seems to have seen it somewhere.

The figure is so enchanting!

The ups and downs of the delicate curve are not lost to Yun Shuiyao and Yunshuang at all, and there is also a strong sense of domineering female president.

Although there is a veil on his face, he can still feel the peerless face behind it, especially the pair of seductive eyes, which seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

The emperor looked at the two of them, nodded slightly, and said, "Ruthless, just now I and Princess Dening were discussing the harassment of the border town by the Buddha Kingdom, what do you think?" How should it be resolved? ”

The Shadow Secret Guard had already received the news about this matter, and Tie Wuru knew it even more than the emperor.

He pondered a little and replied: "The minister thinks that we should take iron-fisted measures to make the Buddha country have a long memory, and I am at the border, not that they will come if they want to." ”

After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly, without any change in expression on his face, but looked at Shen Lian on the side again, and asked, "Shen Lian, what do you think?" ”

"Huh? I? Shen Lian was taken aback, he didn't expect the emperor to ask himself, he almost lost his honor in front of the emperor.

"Yes, it's you, I want to hear what young people have to say." The emperor smiled this time, and took a sip of the teacup after speaking.

Isn't there a young eldest princess standing next to you?

You ask her, what do you ask me for?

Shen Lian complained in his heart.

But the emperor's Chrysostom has been opened, and if he doesn't come up with an answer, I'm afraid he will provoke Long Yan's displeasure.

In this case, it is better to brush a wave of presence, than to leave a bad impression.

"Weichen is foolish, to deal with this matter, you should salute first and then soldier."

"Tell me in detail, how do you salute first and then soldier?" The emperor seems to be interested.
