The night was thick, the backyard was silent, the spring rain was continuous, and the sound of insects was weaker.

The Shen Mansion, which was supposed to have turned off the courtyard lights early, is now brightly lit and lively.

Shen Ji sat by the window, his robe draped over his shoulders, his eyes swept over the folds stacked into a hill in front of him, there was a sound of laughter in his ears, and the pen that Shen Ji had just lifted was also paused in mid-air, and the thoughts in his mind were all disrupted.

Shen Ji sighed lightly, slowly put down the pen, and called in a deep voice, "Smell the ink." ”

"Huh!" Wen Mo answered, and trotted into the house, the smile on his face still not faded.

Shen Ji looked at him, his originally frowning brows relaxed a little, and he said in a low voice, "Why is it noisy outside?" ”

"But it disturbs the purity of the gentleman? The little one went out and let them know. Wen Mo had a smile on his face, and hurriedly explained, "The master is in the courtyard with his subordinates to hang horses, and he is still shouting to soak in the petal bath." ”

"Sir?" Shen Ji glanced at him and said coldly, "You changed your mouth quickly." ”

Wen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little ashamed, "The master just came to inform him, let the people call him so." ”

Shen Ji probably hadn't gotten used to having a father all of a sudden, staring at the twists and turns on his face, and his tone was flat, "How is he fighting?" ”

Wen Mo sighed, and shook his head in a deep manner, "Sir, it's really not a small thing to not give face to the master, his horse is really ...... It's hard to judge, and I lost all the money in my purse. ”

Shen Ji's expression was calm, he untied the purse around his waist, threw it on the table, pretended to be calm and picked up the pen, and said softly, "Take it, let him have fun, and if he loses, it's mine." ”

Wen Mo hurriedly took it and whispered, "Yes." ”

Shen Ji was busy reviewing the recitals, and casually sent him away, "You can go with me, I don't need to serve here." ”

Wen Mo's heart flew outside, and after hearing this, he nodded busily, grinning, "Thank you, sir!" ”

Looking at his excited back, Shen Ji couldn't help but want to laugh a little, and suddenly felt that the voice in his ears was not so noisy.

About three moments, a figure suddenly flashed outside the window.

Shen Ji noticed something, raised his eyes, and used a little force to pinch the hand of the pen.

There was a sound outside, as if someone was knocking on the window, three long and one short, and then there was no movement.

Shen Ji put his mind at ease, threw the pen aside, and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”

The window was opened, and a black shadow flashed into the room, bowing to Shen Ji in a proper manner, "My lord, the subordinates are late." ”

Shen Ji had a slight smile between his eyebrows, and said softly, "It's not too late, sit down." ”

The man sat down tremblingly, his waist straight, for fear of breaking the rules.

Shen Ji looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for the following.

The man cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "My lord, my subordinates are keeping an eye on Prime Minister Yun, he went to the palace today, stayed with the queen for a long time, and finally slammed the door and left, he should have broken up unhappily." ”

Shen Ji raised his hand to support his forehead, his black hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he couldn't see his face clearly, "He went to find the queen?" ”

"Yes." The man nodded, his tone a little heavier, "Besides...... The subordinates found out that there was a medical hall under the name of the Yun family, which did not accept outsiders all year round, but always purchased medicinal materials, and ...... And only one medicine is accepted. ”

Shen Ji raised his eyes and looked at him fixedly, his eyes deepened a little, "What medicine?" ”

"Tripterygium wilfordii." The man straightened his expression and said with a serious face, "I have asked other medical halls, this Thunder Fordii is poisonous to the heart and liver, and it is extremely toxic." ”

Shen Ji didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes darkened, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

"Moreover, the subordinates also found out about it." The man lowered his voice and looked at the adult opposite, "Prime Minister Yun is very strange, in addition to his subordinates, there are people following him, and his subordinates saw that person's face, it was a little eunuch in the queen's palace." ”

"She's checking her own father'......"

Shen Ji was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "You only follow from afar, don't startle the snake, and find a way to spread the matter of Lei Gongteng to the queen's ears." ”

Hearing this, the man instantly understood and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely do it." ”

The man left quietly, Shen Ji stared at the Song Zheshan in front of him, and lost interest, and the honest and honest face of Prime Minister Yun kept coming to mind, and his fingertips slowly tightened, clenched into fists.

"Cloudy Mountain......

-

The next day, the sky was just right, Shen Ji couldn't bear it, and he made a special appointment to enjoy the spring on a cruise.

The two of them sat on the edge of the boat, the atmosphere was surprisingly quiet, and only the faint sound of water could be heard.

Fang Xu held a piece of pastry in his hand, glanced at the man beside him, and quipped, "It's really strange, busy people also have time to come out to play." ”

Shen Ji took her words unhurriedly, and smiled gently, "No matter how busy you are, you must also focus on your wife." ”

Seeing that Fang Xu was about to put the tea in his mouth, Su Zi hurriedly stepped forward, took out a small cloth bag, took out a silver needle, and whispered, "Madam......"

Fang Xu glanced at her, not caring much, "This snack is prepared by the ship's family, how can it be poisonous?" ”

Su Zi shook his head and insisted on his opinion, "It's better to let the slave and maid test it with a silver needle, it's safer." ”

Fang Xu knew that he couldn't resist her, so he put down the refreshments and let her poke them one by one.

Seeing that Su Zi was serious, Fang Xu chuckled helplessly, and said quietly, "I know you care about me, but this is too troublesome, I have told you many times, if someone wants to harm me, only put some medicine, and the silver needle will not be detected." ”

"The slave and maid only seek peace of mind." Su Zi glanced at the silver needle, saw that it had not changed color, and handed back a plate of dim sum to Fang Xu with a smile.

There was a crisp click, and the porcelain spoon fell on the table.

Fang Xu turned his head to look and saw that Shen Ji's face was a little pale, he frowned lightly and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" But seasickness? ”

Shen Ji suddenly raised his head, stared directly at Fang Xu, and said softly, "What Madam said just now is true?" ”

Fang Xu thought for a moment before recalling his words, and replied, "Naturally." ”

Shen Ji only felt that his heart was numb, and his tone was a little stiffer, "That's ...... The same goes for Tripterygium wilfordii? ”

"Except for the poison that kills when you get it, it's the same for everyone else." Fang Xu was unclear in his heart, and asked with some surprise, "Why did you suddenly ask about this flavor medicine?" ”

Shen Ji lowered his long eyelashes, his tone was solemn, and he told everything that happened last night.

Fang Xu's brain moved quickly, guessed what he was thinking, and lowered his voice, "Do you suspect that Jun is dead?" ”

Shen Ji nodded, leaned closer, and said softly, "The imperial doctor only said that the emperor died of overwork, but I always feel that something is wrong." ”

"The emperor is indeed diligent, the country is unstable, he has to work harder, when he is busy, he often forgets to rest and eat, and I can often hear the imperial doctor when he takes his pulse, and asks the emperor to combine work and rest."

"You can die...... It's too much, and it's hard not to be suspicious. ”
