The sharp tip of the knife was only half an inch away from her chest, and Jiang Wu was ruthless, and stabbed towards Yan Li even harder, but her strength was too small to shake Yan Li at all.

Yan Li looked at her so resolute appearance, and made up his mind to kill his hatred, and his heart finally understood.

No matter what he does, it is impossible for Jiang Yu to fall in love with him, her heart is full of Qi Yi, and she can't tolerate anyone for a long time, and his dedication to her is just a ridiculous joke in Jiang Yu's eyes.

He pushed hard, and Jiang Yu's whole body fell to the ground, and the dagger in her hand fell to the side with a clatter.

"Let's go. The Emperor spoke.

Jiang Yu glared at him, got up and walked out the door.

King Zhaojun and Princess Zhaojun came in a hurry, and they were relieved to see that Jiang Wu came out unscathed.

The Queen Mother died, and the whole country mourned.

However, some rumors quietly spread in Chang'an City, saying that the Queen Mother was poisoned to death by the emperor, all in order to save Mrs. Qi.

The death of the queen mother made Andinghou completely lose his good face to the emperor, and the other ministers knew it, and on the surface they were respectful, but in fact they all sighed that the emperor was speechless and informal, and he was too childish to the country.

King Ling and the other princes guarded the spirit of the Queen Mother, and although Yan Sheng was stripped of his title, he was still the title of prince, and he was also particularly conspicuous among the princes.

Shen Yanshu was the princess and other concubines and female dependents in the side hall to keep watch, but they were all female dependents, and they only needed to stay for one day during the day, while the direct imperial grandson had to stay for three days and three nights, and could not go back to the house to rest.

After three days and three nights of vigilance, Yan Qinghan was already full of exhaustion when he returned to King Ling's Mansion.

Shen Yanshu instructed his subordinates to prepare hot water for him to bathe, and after taking a bath, his expression finally recovered a little.

He walked out from behind the screen wearing obscene clothes, Shen Yanshu took the dry cloth towel from the little girl's hand, and stepped forward to dry Yan Qinghan's hair personally.

"Good work. Shen Yanshu said.

Yan Qinghan flashed his eyes and said, "I don't think the imperial grandmother was killed by my father." ”

Shen Yanshu's hand froze, his dark eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Who else can there be besides him?"

Her tone was disdainful, and Yan Qinghan could naturally hear her dissatisfaction with Yan Li.

There were only two of them in the room, and Yan Qinghan naturally didn't have too many scruples, but said: "I went to check, and after Andinghou played, my father asked people to withdraw the medicine for the queen mother." ”

Shen Yanshu continued to help him wipe his hair, but his eyes were a little cold.

She said, "What about the cause of the Queen Mother's death?"

Yan Qinghan's eyes flashed and said, "There is heavy poison in the soup. ”

Shen Yanshu said: "Who else can there be if it's not Yan Li?"

"It's not certain yet, but if there is a black hand behind it, we have to guard against it. Yan Qinghan raised his hand to hold Shen Yanshu's wrist and pulled her to his side and sat down.

At this time, he had long hair and plain clothes, and he had just finished bathing and had a faint fragrance of flowers.

Seeing that Shen Yanshu still looked a little disbelieving, Yan Qinghan said: "We are all very sad when the imperial grandmother died, but in addition to being sad, we still have to find out the truth of the matter in order to be worthy of her." ”

Shen Yanshu said: "Regardless of whether there are others behind it, Yan Li can't tolerate the fact that the Queen Mother was drugged, so that she has suffered from illness for so long, how can it be said that it can be covered up!"

Yan Qinghan looked at Shen Yanshu and said, "He blames himself very much. ”

Shen Yanshu laughed, and his smile was a little sarcastic: "Self-blame? If he really blames himself, he wouldn't have done such a thing because of his filthy selfishness! He is your father, so are you speaking for him?"

Looking at Shen Yanshu's questioning gaze, Yan Qinghan rubbed his head with a little headache and said, "He is my father, but the imperial grandmother is also my imperial grandmother. ”

Shen Yanshu stood up straight and said, "You should treat him as your father, but he may not treat you as a parent." ”

Yan Qinghan's eyes dimmed, but he didn't speak again.

On that day, the ministers begged to establish a prince, but his father repeatedly refused, even if he stood up in person, he still couldn't get his father's affirmation.

The same thing has been playing out all these years.

No matter how well he did, his father would never accept him.

He also stood up and said, "Go to bed early, tomorrow I will go to the imperial mausoleum, and I won't be able to return to the house for a few days, you can prepare for Andinghou's return to Yuzhou." ”

Looking at Yan Qinghan's lost expression, Shen Yanshu felt that what she said just now seemed to have poked his heart, but she really couldn't tolerate Yan Li, and she didn't know what to say, so she just responded, so she also lay down.

The two of them were speechless, and Shen Yanshu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it.

When she woke up the next morning, Yan Qinghan had already left King Ling's Mansion.

As the highest-ranking prince, he sent the funeral team of the Queen Mother to the imperial tomb, and stayed for a few more days, Xue Ziqing's Shenji Battalion was the escort team.

Yan Qinghan's words made Shen Yanshu think for a long time, if the Queen Mother was not harmed by the emperor, then who would be like the Queen Mother? Is it just because he wanted to blame the emperor for this matter and made him lose his reputation.

She suddenly thought of the concubine who was fanning the flames on the side when she went to the emperor to theorize that day.

Could it be ...... Did she do it?

But now that Yan Sheng has been demoted, even if he still retains the title of a prince, he is not forbidden, if he wants to make a comeback, he is afraid that it will be some more years.

In addition to Concubine Shu, Shen Yanshu can't think of anyone else who wants to be unfavorable to the Queen Mother, the four imperial concubines in the palace have the most power, and the other concubines have no right to touch the affairs of the Queen Mother...... I would never do that.

Therefore, Shen Yanshu stared at Concubine Shu again.

Thinking of these rumors today, saying that the emperor was confused by beauty, saying that Jiang Wu was a red face and a disaster, I think it is also the temperament of the concubine.

"Hear people's words. Shen Yanshu called.

Wen Renyu fell directly from the side and said, "What does the princess command?"

"You let people stare at Concubine Shu, what kind of movements does she have?" asked Shen Yanshu.

Wen Renyu said: "Except for the last time Concubine Shu went to the Six Princes' Mansion, there is nothing special. ”

"What about the Six Princes?" asked Shen Yanshu.

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Because of the current situation of the six princes, the subordinates did not send people to keep an eye on them. ”

Shen Yanshu said: "Then you will check it out in person now and see if the six princes have any changes recently?"

"Yes!" he replied, and walked out.

Shen Yanshu changed his clothes and was just about to go out, when the housekeeper came to report that it was the lord of Chuxue who asked to see him.

She was a little curious, she was only two sides to the Lord of Chuxue, what would make her come to the door herself?

Shen Yanshu asked the housekeeper to welcome the person to the backyard and told Qinglan to prepare some snacks.

"Chu Xue has seen Princess Ling. Nangong Chuxue entered the courtyard, but respectfully saluted Shen Yanshu.

Shen Yanshu stretched out his hand to help her up, and said, "The county lord doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what the county lord is saying about coming in person this time?"

Nangong Chuxue smiled and sneered, and said, "Naturally, I want to see the princess's sister, so I came over to take a look." ”

Shen Yanshu just chuckled and didn't answer.

Nangong Chuxue looked around left and right, and asked quietly, "Isn't His Royal Highness King Ling in the mansion?"

Although Shen Yanshu didn't know why Nangong Chuxue asked Yan Qinghan, she still said truthfully: "He went to the imperial tomb." ”

"Did you go to the Imperial Mausoleum, and when will he come back?" Nangong Chuxue asked again.

Qinglan stepped forward and gently put two cups of tea on the table, Shen Yanshu picked up a cup, blew it, and continued to say to Nangong Chuxue: "It should take a few days." ”

Nangong Chuxue listened to it and looked lost.

Shen Yanshu asked, "Do you have something to do with King Ling?"

Nangong Chuxue nodded, shook her head violently, and then said with some confusion: "I want to ask him if he is willing to marry me." ”

"Ahem-" Shen Yanshu was directly choked by the water when he heard Nangong Chuxue say this.

Nangong Chuxue was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her pat her on the back, explaining: "I don't want to compete with you for the position of princess, I just want to ask him if he can marry me as a side concubine......"

Her explanation was still unacceptable to Shen Yanshu.

Shen Yan soothed her mind and put down the teacup in her hand, she knew that Nangong Chuxue had grown up by the sea since she was a child, but she didn't have so many intrigues, so she asked these questions so unabashedly.

"Why do you want to be King Ling's side concubine?" asked Shen Yanshu.

Nangong Chuxue said: "Because I don't really want to marry the sixth prince." ”

Shen Yanshu was puzzled: "The six princes have princesses and side concubines, and it is impossible for your father to marry you to him." ”

"But the sixth prince came to my father and said that if he marries me, he can make me an equal wife. Nangong Chuxue said, "Compared to the Six Princes' Mansion, I still prefer the Ling Wang's Mansion, because there is a sister here, and it shouldn't be so boring." ”

Shen Yanshu was a little bitterly smiling at her thoughts, and she said: "Marrying someone is not what you imagined, you are the lord of the county, and you are responsible for your own choices, with your identity, completely find a loved one to marry." ”

Nangong Chuxue tilted her head and looked at Shen Yanshu, and said: "Father said, if I don't want to marry the sixth prince or King Ling, then we will set off tomorrow to go back to Ninghai, it seems that the princess sister doesn't want me to marry into King Ling's mansion, it seems that I have to go back to Ninghai." ”

Before Shen Yanshu could say anything, Nangong Chuxue had already stood up, saluted Shen Yanshu, and then turned around and left King Ling's Mansion.

Shen Yanshu stood in place, looking at her back thoughtfully.
