The Criminal Department and the Dali Temple carefully sorted out the matter and locked up a few suspicious people, first of all, the attendants of the Five Kings, who had gone to fetch side dishes for the Five Kings, and the second was the palace maid who had been in and out of the dining room several times.

The sky turned from black to gray, and a misty light began to appear, and Lin Piao sat behind the table, looking at the sky outside with a layer of white, and it was the first time he saw it in the early morning.

Shen Hong was talking to Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and lowered his voice a little: "Late yesterday night, I sent people to the mansions of several princes to find out the news of their mothers' clans. ”

The interrogation is just a reason, leaving people behind, making a dangerous appearance, going to the palace, among the mothers, interrogating and deceiving, staying up all night, watching the hope of following does not return all night, without any news, it will soon collapse, and the results will be obtained very quickly.

This trick is not complicated, but it is extremely aggressive, the five queens and concubines are frivolous, the mother family is not a famous family, there is no background, the five kings only two princes after the throne is an idle prince, now there is such a thing, they have no reason not to mess up.

The matter was sorted out for the time being, and for the time being, the officials and Shen Hong announced that the matter would soon have a result, and that everyone was asked to rest for the time being, because the matter was urgent, and many people were reluctant to leave, so the officials and the queen who had rushed over made the decision, and let the lords live in the palace for a few hours, and then continue to sort out these many affairs.

Lin Piao couldn't stay in the palace, so Shen Hong said to the secretary of the ministry and sent Lin Piao back first.

Walking out of the hall, he stayed up all night, the sky outside was bright and white, Lin Piao felt that his body had become light, as if he was relieved, and seemed to have disappeared.

The moment Chu Yu saw his father's death, did this feeling become even stronger?

This thought popped into Lin Piao's mind for a moment, but it quickly disappeared.

Dust to dust, and things to be understood.

If he feels that life is painful, if his pain has to be filled by someone else, then this is an abyss that can never be filled, and it is better to leave this world that makes him miserable sooner.

Lin Piao swirled these thoughts in his mind and exhaled deeply.

Shen Hong took his hand, and under the cover of the wide robe and big sleeves, the two of them covered the entire sky in this white morning, as if the whole world was white.

The two walked out of the palace gate hand in hand.

When he got to the carriage, Lin Piao remembered a question: "What about the second aunt?" Was she left in the palace or did she go back? ”

"The queen presided over the scene before, and left their testimony behind, and arranged for someone to send them back at about dawn."

Lin Piao nodded: "It's okay, go back early to rest, if the queen doesn't arrange for someone to send it, the second aunt will probably wait outside for us to go back." ”

The carriage shook slightly, and as soon as he walked out of the palace and away from the palace, Lin Piao's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he leaned on Shen Hong's shoulder and fell asleep.

When the carriage arrived at the door, Shen Hong called him softly: "Piao'er, Piao'er, it's here." ”

Lin Piao opened his eyes, supported his tired body and stepped out of the carriage, and after entering the door, he felt his body soar into the air, and he was not surprised that Shen Hong picked him up.

Lin Piao naturally put his hands on his shoulders, put his arms around his neck, and buried his head in his shoulder sockets.

"Sleep."

Lin Piao nodded, his arms were really reassuring, and he didn't fall asleep with his drooping eyelids: "You've been busy all night, and you're sleepy." ”

Lin Piao's voice was thin and already a little indistinct, and Shen Hong heard him say this, and lowered his head and pasted it on the corner of his forehead.

"I'm not tired, let's sleep."

Lin Piao leaned into his arms, feeling that he was approaching their residence, until there was a squeak and smelled the familiar smell of incense, Lin Piao opened his eyes half-asleep, saw their bedroom, rubbed in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep more peacefully.

Lin Piao felt Shen Hong strip him of his coat, put him on the bed, covered him with a thin quilt, tucked the corners of his back, and then a moist handkerchief, wiping his cheeks for him.

The tip of the nose can smell the faint aroma of flower dew, it is a soft handkerchief, soaked in warm water, the water is added with some flower dew that will only be used in the bath, wringed dry for him to wipe carefully, the corners of the forehead, the tip of the nose, especially the lip flap, the corners of the lips, the thin and soft handkerchief is gently wiped, and then a soft and hot thing is pasted up.

Lin Piao felt that it was Shen Hong's kiss.

He only kissed him lightly, rubbed it gently, and then let go of him, reached into the quilt, grabbed his hand, pulled out the quilt and wiped his hands for him, and took off his socks for him, and carefully wiped his calves and feet.

Lin Piao felt his movements, felt that the whole person had been emptied, his body was soft and weightless, but his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds.

When Shen Hong's movements stopped, Lin Piao thought in a daze that it was time for him to come to sleep too.

I felt Shen Hongzheng leaning over, approaching him, and whispering in his ear: "Piao'er, you can sleep well, I still have something to do." ”

Lin Piao was awakened by his words, looked at him blankly, and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve: "You don't sleep? Busy all night...... It's okay for you to rest for an hour, and let Qing Yu wake you up later. ”

Shen Hong looked at him with a smile: "It's okay, when you wake up, I'll be back." ”

Lin Piao grabbed his sleeve and didn't let go: "How can you survive such a body." ”

"It's only going to be like this for a while, and it's not going to be busy for a few days." Shen Hong saw that Lin Piao refused to let go, so he smiled and said, "Piao'er is like this, I have to break my sleeves." ”

Lin Piao looked at him: "You are really ......."

It's terrible to be a model worker.

Shen Hong did not break his sleeves as he said, but took off his shirt and said gently: "I'm afraid that the clothes outside are stained with dust and a little dirty, take the middle shirt for you, and I should accompany you." ”

Shen Hong took off his middle coat and got down, still carrying his body temperature and faint fragrance, on top of the thin quilt, like a soft embrace, Lin Piao reached out and dragged the middle coat into the quilt, and wrapped it around himself.

"Okay......"

Shen Hong looked at his small movements, lowered his head and touched Lin Piao's cheek: "I will definitely come back to accompany you earlier." ”

"You're busy, I don't know when I'm going to sleep anyway." Lin Piao shrank his body, pulled Shen Hong's shirt a little higher, and hid it over his mouth and nose, with a sense of security that enveloped him, as if Shen Hong was beside him.

Seeing him like this, Shen Hong lowered the bed curtain for him so that he could sleep better, turned around and took his clothes to change into, and went out again.

This time, Li Lingyue was already waiting for Shen Hong outside, but he was waiting in the carriage, and no one was following outside, so he couldn't see who it was.

Shen Hong got into the carriage, and when Li Lingyue saw him coming, he still didn't let go of the breath in his heart.

"The five kings are inevitably too anxious, and suddenly start at the palace banquet, if you weren't cautious, you would have been prepared a long time ago, otherwise two days later, everything would have been lost."

Shen Hong looked indifferently at the shaking curtain in front of him: "It's not too late, the timing is just right." ”

Chu Yu lightened Lin Piao, he couldn't get over this hurdle, even if the five kings didn't do it, he had to let the five kings do it as soon as possible.

Piao'er fled in such a hurry, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was crooked, and Chu Yu followed behind her step by step.

If he hadn't arrived, I don't know how Chu Yu would treat Piao'er.

He only thought of any possibility, which was enough for him to kill Chu Yu a thousand times.

Li Lingyue was so indifferent when he heard Shen Hong's words, after all, the second prince was the one who appreciated them, although they were destined to have a fight, and he was destined to die, but Shen Hong was able to be so unmoved, Li Lingyue was still a little surprised, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, it was Shen Hong, who had come to this point, and he had not been hard enough to be defeated.

They deliberated for a while, and then the purpose was very clear, that is, to try the five kings, who were forcibly left in the palace by them for a night, and his house was already in chaos, thinking that he had been defeated.

……

Lin Piao slept until the afternoon, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to ask the time of the autumn rain, and after listening to the autumn rain's answer, he calculated the time in his mind.

It was half past two in the afternoon.

Qiu Yu looked at him with a tired face: "Madam, let's eat something, knowing that everyone's appetite is not good today, I boiled chicken soup porridge and ate some warm first." ”

Lin Piao had no appetite: "What's going on outside?" ”

Qiu Yu's face was also a little bad: "National funeral...... His Majesty was still so young, and he thought that he would have at least a few decades of stable life, but now he suddenly died. ”

Qiu Yu said, and tears welled up a little.

Lin Piao looked at her appearance and knew that the people of this era had a special plot about the emperor, even if they had never met the emperor at all and did not know the emperor, as long as their lives were a little better, it was as if the sky had fallen when they heard that the emperor was dead.

They only knew that the emperor's life was better during his reign, but they did not delve into who made them better, but when it came to merit, they knew which minister had done well and which minister was dedicated to serving the people, but when asked who had made life better, they were like they had been programmed, and their thinking immediately turned around, firmly believing that the emperor had given them everything.

Lin Piao felt that it was normal to have this kind of thought, the emperor was a symbol of spiritual support, in short, he would still live in the future, as long as the country was still stable.

"Where's my aunt? Any other news? ”

Qiu Yu wiped her tears: "Now they all say that the five kings killed His Majesty, and they are all brothers, so they are ruthless." ”

Lin Piao felt that it was okay, the royal family raised Gu like this, but after thinking about it, Chu Yu's character on the throne was the great filial son Qingjun's side escort to protect his father, and the first emperor's person on the throne was very smart, Taoguang raised obscurity, endured humiliation, and avengered his brother, valued affection and righteousness, and loved his niece.

Among these splendid characters, the five kings are indeed too thin and unsightly.

"Now it's spread among the people?"

"Naturally, as soon as the news of His Majesty's death spread, everyone knew that the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department surrounded the mansions of the five kings and arrested all the people in their mansions early in the morning."

Lin Piao shook his head, thinking that back then, the five princes wanted to design and frame the family, force the family to stand in line, and even made a direct shuffle game, wanting to make a move Li Dai Taozhuang, and wash out all the descendants of Han Xiu and Wen Shuo.

But Lin Piao also had to admit that this was indeed an excellent opportunity, it was too difficult to poison in private, and if he accidentally lost everything, Chu Yu found that his actions would only make him survive and not die, and at the palace banquet, after three rounds of wine, everyone's attention began to be distracted, and their hearts were stable, feeling that no one dared to make trouble openly on such a big occasion, this trick suddenly appeared, there were many people and things, and there were too many loopholes for the five kings to exploit.

Whatever the outcome, at least he succeeded.

Qiu Yu looked around cautiously: "Madam, I heard that when the people in the Five Kings' Mansion were arrested, they were still shouting, saying that the Five Kings were the emperors, and the first emperor passed the throne to the Five Kings, whether His Majesty usurped the throne or the first emperor, everyone dared not say anything about this matter, but now that it has spread all over Kyoto, I see that this matter is very suspenseful, and if they want to be true, this emperor really should be the Five Kings." ”

Lin Piao's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the previous rumor, and one of the biggest doubts about this rumor was whether there was an edict left, and if there was no edict, it would be useless to say anything, and if there was an edict, the behavior of the five kings would be rationalized at once, and there would be no punishment.

Lin Piao thought about how the five kings dared to do such a thing, and was easily caught by the handle again, and slapped the table violently: "I see! ”

Qiu Yu was startled: "Madam, what is this?" ”

Lin Piao's heart turned, the five kings dared to do this, it must be that he had an edict, and no one knew what the emperor did at the last moment, perhaps because he was aware of Chu Yu's wolf ambitions, and wanted to put Chu Yu in the way at the last critical moment.

Even if there is no edict, maybe the five kings have made an edict and come out, and poisoning Chu Yu is not his game, but the edict is the way for him to get out.

No wonder he was so stable that he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, because he had this kind of confidence.

Lin Piao almost wanted to slap the table, the five kings had this kind of confidence in his body, if he really took the position, Shen Hong's situation would not be better than when he was messing around under Chu Yu's hands, after all, although Chu Yu was ruthless, but when he wanted to use him, he was still very peaceful and lenient, and people like the five kings didn't know how many times a day they had to dance, and how many tricks they had to play openly and secretly.

Lin Piao only felt that the situation was dangerous, but he also knew that Shen Hong would definitely be able to deal with it, but he didn't know what he needed to do to make the living five kings fall as well.

Lin Piao was worried here, and Qiu Yu persuaded him several times, and finally Lin Piao ate something to cushion it.

Lin Piao drank two bowls of chicken soup porridge, the chicken soup was stewed fragrantly, put the best fragrant rice into it, and cut some diced vegetables, and when it was about to come out of the pot, put it in and cook it, the rice porridge was fragrant and soft, the diced vegetables were sweet and crisp, and with the refreshing side dishes, Lin Piao was full of food, and did not forget to let the kitchen prepare more.

"Later, Shen Hong will come back, eat something so easy to digest and be more comfortable, he hasn't slept for a whole night plus a day."

When Qiu Yu heard him say this, she hurriedly nodded: "I will prepare some more soothing incense to come in, and I will light people to sleep comfortably, sleep sweetly, and sleep refreshingly." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "That's it." ”

Lin Piao's state had recovered a lot, so he arranged for people to go out to inquire about the situation and wanted to know what had happened, but this incident was dressed all over the city, and now the mourning outside Shangjing had begun, some homes had hung out white cloths, and no one dared to come out in bright clothes on the street, and the whole Shangjing lost its color overnight.

After a long time of inquiry, I didn't find out anything, after all, this incident happened in the palace, even the people in the back house with developed ears and eyes could not steal the secrets at this moment, and the two pillars and two dogs were not here, and they rushed to Dali Temple.

Because of the emperor's murder, the prisons of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple could not fit in, and both sides were filled with people, and everyone was staying up all night and spinning.

Lin Piao slept full, so he didn't go to bed early, he was waiting for Shen Hong to come back, and in the evening, the people who went to Dali Temple to inquire about the news from the Criminal Department rushed back.

The Five Kings were arrested.

When Lin Piao heard the news, he felt a lot more relieved, and when Shen Hong came back, Lin Piao heard the news and greeted him at the gate of the courtyard.

Lin Piao walked up quickly, walked close and stretched out his hand, the two of them clasped hands together, Lin Piao looked up at him: "Tired, take a break, do you want to sleep or eat first?" I prepared chicken soup porridge for you, and now it is warm and delicious. ”

Shen Hong nodded: "Eat some and then sleep, Piao'er has been waiting for a long time." ”

"I didn't have to wait long, I slept for a long time." The two walked into the courtyard, and Lin Piao looked sideways at Qiu Yu on the side and asked her to bring the prepared porridge.

The two of them went to the house and sat down, Lin Piao felt sorry for him, and before Qing Yu entered the courtyard, he got up and went to fetch the soothing incense: "I will burn some soothing incense later, so you can sleep better." ”
