I wish the Queen Mother to be angry, and her voice echoed in the hall.

Yuan Chen's face turned pale, his thin lips opened lightly, but he didn't know how to explain, so he only muttered, "Queen Mother, ......"

"If you still recognize me as the queen mother, don't think about the trouble of finding the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion again!" Zhu Empress Dowager turned her back angrily, unwilling to look at him again.

Yuan Chen hung his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly, "My son didn't mean to trouble them. ”

"You didn't mean to," Zhu Empress Dowager turned around and looked at him fixedly, her eyes full of anger, "but you have the heart to shield the bad seeds, let them frame the good ministers, what is the difference between the conspirator and the mastermind?" ”

Yuan Chen was a little weak-hearted, and moved his head away, a trace of guilt flashed on his face, "My son is just worried about them......"

"Worried that they will be proud of their achievements, and don't have two hearts?" Empress Dowager Zhu interrupted him and sighed, "Chen'er, you can't be a man without a conscience, you can sit on the dragon chair, and all families will carry you up." ”

"Xie Li of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion is an official in the court, and he has a close relationship with you, Song Yatou is his wife, and Brother Yan is also the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion, you are now treacherous, and Rao is mother can't see it."

Empress Dowager Zhu only felt tired, her eyebrows were twisted, and she said in a low voice, "Mrs. Yongcheng Hou has always been thoughtful and intelligent, and she has already guessed that you are behind today's incident, without your acquiescence, how dare those people be so rampant?" ”

Yuan Chen's heart sank, and he didn't open his mouth to argue again.

"Chen'er, the queen mother doesn't want to see you blinded by power, I still remember the day you seized power, you stood in front of the queen mother, and swore that you would be a bright monarch in the future." Empress Dowager Zhu looked at him, her face softened, "Since you are a Ming monarch, you must treat your loyal ministers well." ”

"General Song died of the suspicion of the king, and now it is the turn of the Song girl......" The Empress Dowager Zhu paused, and a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, "Chen'er, the queen mother only advises you to wake up early, don't make a big mistake." ”

Yuan Chen closed his eyes, frowned, and said helplessly, "My father once taught his son that he must suppress the heroes so that he will not have the heart of rebellion. ”

"So he died, at the hands of the widows of loyal ministers." Zhu Empress Dowager opened her mouth bluntly and said coldly, "Eat with a bowl, put down the bowl and scold your mother, whether he is a Ming Jun or not, you know better than the queen mother." ”

"Chen'er, if you insist on emulating your father, the queen mother doesn't want to persuade you anymore, but you will be exempted from asking for peace in the future."

Yuan Chen raised his head suddenly, and his pupils shook.

It's about distancing yourself from him......

I wish the Queen Mother to turn her face away, no longer look at him, and her originally straight back was bent down.

Yuan Chen was silent for a long time before he whispered, "The queen mother... My son knows his mistakes......"

Empress Dowager Zhu sighed lightly and waved her hand at him, "Stand down first, I'm a little tired." ”

Yuan Chen opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the black green under the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhu, and the words on his lips did not come out after all.

The sound of the door closing sounded in her ears, and the Queen Mother Zhu lifted her eyes and looked at the empty hall, only feeling sad and boring.

"Queen Mother, you have to pay attention to your body......" Lin Sheng leaned in, his eyes were concerned.

Empress Dowager Zhu nodded, her face was tired, and her voice was weak, "Lin Sheng, you go to the treasury to collect some things and send them to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, just say that it is my apology." ”

"This ......" Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant, "Queen Mother, will we be too indulgent in the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion like this?" ”

"Chen Er is not clear now, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is the home of meritorious heroes, and now that they have been aggrieved, they should apologize, this is what they deserve." A flash of gloom flashed between the Empress Dowager's eyebrows, and she said in a low voice, "I hope Xiao Xu Mo will go to his heart." ”

Lin Sheng also realized the importance of the matter, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

Zhuo County

Outside the window, the crescent moon is like a hook, the stars are dotted, and there is silence.

The man stood in front of the window, the breeze blowing through his clothes, bringing a little coolness, the man raised his eyes and looked at the moonlight on the top, like a distant mountain.

Not long after, a Hai Dongqing broke into the man's sight, circled twice in front of the window, and landed on the window with two flicks of his wings.

The man raised his eyebrows, untied the letter box tied to the bird's leg, and slowly opened the letter.

There is only one line on the letter, which is concise and to the point: Zhuo Wenhou and his wife Zhen drowned.

With a smile on his lips, the man placed the letter on the candle flame and lit it, watching it turn to ashes.

"Brother Shen, look at your place, it's still light, but you haven't slept yet?"

A voice came from outside the door, Shen Ji's eyes flashed, he walked to the front and opened the door, looked at Lu Qingfeng in front of him, and said softly, "Brother Lu, but is there something?" ”

Lu Qingfeng smiled apologetically and said in a low voice, "There is indeed something." ”

Shen Ji leaned sideways to make way for him, the smile on his lips was warm, "Come to the house." ”

Lu Qingfeng was not polite to him, raised his feet and entered the room, consciously sat down on the stool, took out a booklet, and handed it to Shen Ji, "Brother Shen, take a look." ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Shen Ji's eyes, he raised his hand to take the booklet, looked at it carefully, and the more he looked down, the sharper his eyes became, "This is not the ...... of the previous battle prince"

"That's right, the people above here were all subordinates of the War Lord." Lu Qingfeng bowed his head, his face solemn, "Brother Shen, do you remember that the emperor gave us a list before leaving?" Most of the names on it overlap with this booklet. ”

Shen Ji chuckled, casually flipped through the booklet in his hand, and said in a light tone, "These people are also strange, they followed the King of War first, and then followed the Duke of Qi Guo, and now the trees are scattered, and they still have the guts to fix these moths." ”

"According to Brother Shen, how should we do ......?"

"Sir!"

Before Lu Qingfeng's words were finished, Wen Mo pushed the door and entered, and rushed to the two of them in a hurry.

Shen Ji felt embarrassed, glared at him, and immediately smiled at Lu Qingfeng, and said in a low voice, "My little guy has been spoiled, there are no rules, and I ask Brother Lu to forgive me." ”

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand and replied with a smile, "It's okay." ”

Shen Ji breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to stare at Wen Mo, and a voice came from between his teeth, "You'd better have something." ”

Wen Mo nodded heavily, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and put it in front of Shen Ji, "Sir, take a look, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion was searched, and he was almost arrested!" ”

Shen Ji's face sank, and he hurriedly took the letter, and when he looked at it carefully, his fingertips were still trembling.

"What's wrong with the Hou Mansion?" Lu Qingfeng also came over, his eyes fell on the paper, and his expression was nervous.

"A private treasure... Witchcraft Doll ......" Shen Ji slapped the letter on the table heavily, furious, "What kind of mess is this!" ”

Lu Qingfeng took the letter, his gaze quickly swept over, and muttered, "How can this be...... Why did such a big thing happen when we just left Beijing? ”

Shen Ji clenched his fists, his face gloomy, but he still raised his head to look at Wen Mo, and asked in a low voice, "The letter said that Madame has a cold, you can go buy some autumn pears early tomorrow morning." ”

When the words fell, Shen Ji straightened his expression, looked back at Lu Qingfeng, and was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "I have a matter, and I hope that Brother Lu will help." ”

Lu Qingfeng looked at him with a surprised expression, but his heart sank a little inexplicably.
