Seeing that the woman was interested in Huangtingzhou's jade gourd, Shen Yanshu silently put it away and said, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

However, the woman refused to stop there, and said, "Is this jade gourd yours?

Shen Yanshu glanced at her and said, "Shut up." ”

The guards who were searching outside soon came to the courtyard where they were, the voice was a little noisy, the woman lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then pulled Shen Yanshu and walked to her inner room.

"What are you going to do?" asked Shen Yanshu.

The woman said, "You hide inside, and I will send those soldiers away." But you have to tell me where this jade gourd came from. ”

Shen Yanshu heard the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, so she could only hide in the inner room, walked to the gap between the cabinet and the bed and hid, the sword in her hand against the front, ready to deal with the people who approached her at any time.

The soldiers searched the surrounding houses, found no one, and finally came to the front of the room.

"Mother, the patrol soldiers said they were searching for the Assassins, and they wanted to check your house. "The palace maid is reporting outside.

The woman said, "There are no assassins here in this palace, let them search elsewhere." ”

The palace maid looked at the soldiers who were going to search with some embarrassment, they were a little strange, they were not allowed to enter her room at will on weekdays, and they did not like to use the palace maid to serve.

The soldier who took the lead in the search stepped forward and said, "Concubine Ling, we are searching for assassins, please make it convenient!"

Concubine Ling stepped forward and opened the door directly, she was only wearing a thin pajama at this time, her hair was scattered behind her back, and she looked very beautiful in the light.

The soldier who took the lead was stunned, hurriedly lowered his head, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "I've seen Concubine Ling." ”

Concubine Ling glanced at them and said, "There are no assassins in the dormitory of this palace, but I heard you making a lot of noise here. ”

The soldiers really didn't find anything unusual in this courtyard, and looked at the room where there was no one in Lingfei's room, and said, "There are assassins in the palace, please be careful." ”

"You go elsewhere, I checked my room before you came, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Yes. The leading soldier answered, and led his men to continue the search.

Seeing the courtyard where the soldiers left, Concubine Ling's eyes flashed, and her mood was complicated.

The palace maid stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, go into the house and rest, be careful of catching a cold." The slave and maid stood guard outside the door, so that they were not afraid of an assassin coming. ”

Concubine Ling said: "No need, you can go back." ”

The palace maid looked up at Concubine Ling in some confusion, but she didn't say anything, bowed shortly, and then turned around and walked back to her room.

Concubine Ling turned around and closed the door and walked into the inner room.

Shen Yanshu walked out of the crack and saw that she was already sitting on the chair staring at herself, so she said: "This jade gourd is not mine, its owner cherishes it very much, and carries it with him all the year round, but after about a long time, the rope is broken, so I plan to help him tie it again, but I forgot to return it for a while." ”

Concubine Ling listened to Shen Yanshu's words and stood in place in a daze.

"Is his surname Huang?"

Shen Yanshu looked at her and asked suspiciously, "Do you know Huang Tingzhou?"

Concubine Ling smiled bitterly: "Not only does it know, this jade gourd is what I gave him." It's just that he didn't expect that after so many years, he would be able to see this thing again, and he would keep it for so long......"

Shen Yanshu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Concubine Ling.

She had never heard Old Man Huang talk about his past, but she heard that he had a woman who was in love with each other, and later married into a high family because of family interests, he was sad, but he never married anyone else.

After all, it is a sad thing, and she is sensible, and she will never ask Old Man Huang about these old things.

But how did the woman he liked back then enter the palace and become a mother?

Seeing Shen Yanshu's surprised look, Concubine Ling smiled bitterly: "He shouldn't have talked about these things with others, right?"

Shen Yanshu shook his head.

Concubine Ling said: "That's it, it's useless to talk more, you can go, even if it's for his sake, I can act as if nothing happened tonight." ”

Shen Yan shook his head, thanked him, and then walked towards the door, and was just about to open the door, when his hand suddenly paused, and said softly: "For so many years, he has never married. ”

Concubine Ling looked up at Shen Yanshu in surprise, but only saw her leaving, the room was empty, leaving her alone.

The candlelight flickered, flickering in front of her eyes, but her heart was in turmoil.

She originally thought that after marrying Yan Li, Huang Tingzhou would be desperate to find a gentle and virtuous woman to accompany him for the rest of his life, and then forget her existence, but she didn't expect that he still kept the jade gourd she gave him, and he hadn't married for so many years......

She wanted to ask him how he was doing, but the room was empty, as if no one had been there tonight.

Shen Yanshu came out of the courtyard, walked to a remote place and made sure that it was safe, then threw the sword in his hand into the lake, and then quietly returned to Concubine Shu's palace along the path, climbed over the wall, and entered the room through the window left just now.

Seeing that the maid who was guarding the bed had not woken up, Shen Yanshu gently returned to the bed and lay down, as if nothing had happened.

Assassins entered the palace, and the palace guards searched for a night but could not find them, and finally were angrily punished by the emperor.

Shen Yanshu woke up in the morning, his complexion was much better, and after washing, he went to thank Concubine Shu.

She followed the palace maid, and when she arrived in the lobby, she saw that the concubine was preparing breakfast.

"The courtiers see the lady concubine, thank you for saving her yesterday!" Shen Yanshu stepped forward and saluted.

Concubine Shu hurriedly stepped forward to help Shen Yanshu up, and said, "You are not well, so you don't have to salute." When I came, I just accompanied the palace to have breakfast, and I prepared two people, so I used it before. ”

Shen Yanshu didn't shirk it, and said, "Thank you, Concubine Shuniang." ”

Concubine Shu took her hand and made her sit down, and the palace maid gave Shen Yan Shu porridge.

She said: "Seeing that your face is not very good, it is better to rest here in the palace for two more days before returning to the Shen Mansion." ”

Shen Yanshu said: "Thank you Niangniang for your love, it's just that the courtier's body is almost better, I'm afraid that the family will be worried, and the queen will not be happy." ”

Hearing Shen Yanshu mention the queen, Concubine Shu chuckled lightly and said: "Don't worry, yesterday the emperor reprimanded the queen and punished her for copying the scriptures, and now the palace is dealing with the affairs of the harem, and she will not trouble you." ”

Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed, the queen suffered, the power in her hands was transferred to the hands of Concubine Shu, Heng Guogong was angry because of Gu Ziyi's matter, it seems that King Ning's helper was really cut off.

No wonder Concubine Shu is in such a good mood.

If you can suppress King Ning, this King Yu will have the advantage of winning the heir, although King An is the eldest son, but his biological mother is not favored, and King An is not good at scheming, so he is naturally not in the eyes of King Ning and King Yu.

Two people were eating, and a eunuch hurried over.

"Yu Niangniang, last night an assassin broke into the forbidden land, the emperor was furious, and now all palace defenses have been sent to strengthen it. The emperor said that he would strictly investigate the people in the queen's palace and the people we have here, and as soon as something happened to the queen, some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, and they must be strictly investigated. ”

Concubine Shu's eyes flashed, and she said, "This palace knows." ”

Shen Yanshu listened on the side, her face did not change, and when she saw the eunuch retreating, she asked, "There are so many guards in this palace, how can there be assassins?"

Concubine Shu came back to her senses and said to her: "Although this palace has strong defense, it is not an impregnable wall after all, and naturally it can't prevent people with hearts, but this palace has taken over the things of the harem on the first day, and there is such a thing, saying that there is no calculation, and this palace does not believe it." ”

Shen Yanshu didn't want to ask too much, but after breakfast, he said goodbye to Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu didn't have the extra energy to keep her if she wanted to investigate the assassin's affairs, so she rewarded her with some supplements and asked her to take them back.

Shen Yanshu walked to the entrance of the harem and saw Xue Ziqing coming with a team of soldiers.

She stepped forward and saluted slightly, "I've seen Xue Dudu." ”

"Miss Shen doesn't have to be polite. Xue Ziqing said, her tone was still as cold as ever, and she passed by her after speaking.

Shen Yanshu got into the carriage and galloped away in the opposite direction with Xue Ziqing, the carriage clicked, and she leaned against the wall of the carriage and rubbed her forehead with her hands.

I feel that the carriage has traveled a long way, and it is still walking along the path of the palace wall, this palace is so big, it is difficult to get in, and it is even more difficult to get out. My mother has been under house arrest for almost two years, how has she spent the days and nights in the past two years?

Thinking about seeing Yun Hao every day, thinking that the grievances of the Zhenbei Army can be cleared up, but there is nothing that can be done, it must be very painful, right?

Shen Yanshu sighed, closed his eyes, and his mind was full of pictures of his past life.

My mother is fine, my brother is still there, and if my father and brother are also there, how good would it be?

It's a pity that her father has been buried on Baiyue Mountain by her own hands, and it is impossible to stand in front of her anymore, she wants to rescue her mother, protect her younger brother, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of clearing the grievances of the Zhenbei Army.

For the first time, she felt the weight of the mountain in front of her, and she didn't know if she could push it down, but she couldn't give up.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the Shen Mansion, the coachman called twice, Shen Yanshu came back to her senses, she lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage, then stepped on the small stool and got out of the carriage.

Absent-minded, she was just about to continue walking, but she forgot that she was stepping on the stool at this time, and the other one just wanted to step on the ground, and Shen Yanshu fell down suddenly.

Just when she was about to fall, she was grabbed by the waist, directly circled into her arms, and caught it steadily.

Shen Yanshu looked at it and saw that it was Yan Qinghan.

Seeing Shen Yanshu's rare surprised and confused eyes, Yan Qinghan said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Seeing Yan Qinghan's face, Shen Yanshu suddenly thought of Yan Li, thought of Yan Xiao, and thought of the royal people who were so dirty, making their Qi family's good family unrecognizable.

She pushed Yan Qinghan away, and said indifferently: "Don't worry about it." ”

Before Yan Qinghan could understand what was going on, Shen Yanshu had already entered the Shen Mansion without looking back.
