At night, during dinner, Zhao Shun came to Jialan Residence and sat beside Shen Qinglan.

"Sisi, I have already investigated what happened today, don't worry, I will not let these people go." Zhao Shun said.

"The first concubine was very popular and the future mother of the country. Her mother's family, the Jing family, had two dynasties as ministers. Now that the crown prince has passed away, the new emperor is about to take the throne. Is it to let the baby take the throne and control the government? ?” Shen Qinglan said.

"I also suspect that this matter is related to the first concubine and the Jing family, but the assassins at the scene did not survive, and the remaining assassins have not been caught yet, so there is no evidence for the time being." Zhao Shun said.

"Why is it so difficult to get evidence? If they can't be convicted of this crime, there are naturally other crimes waiting for them. In order to succeed to the throne as soon as possible, the former crown prince bribed the people around the late emperor and poisoned him. Could it be that the crown princess and the Jing family can You can't do it alone?" Shen Qinglan said.

"Sisi..." Zhao Shun sighed, "The first emperor left this situation because he didn't want to shame the royal family, if I convict the first prince, wouldn't it be a waste of all the painstaking efforts of the late emperor? "

Shen Qinglan put down his chopsticks, "Then start to investigate from other places, you can always find clues, even if you can't uproot them, you can temporarily deter them."

"Sisi, what doubts do you have about this matter?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Since Madam Du came to look for me yesterday, I have been suspicious. I have never interfered with the affairs of other courtyards. Even if Murong Bo is not in the mansion, Nanny Du and Steward Liu have been in charge of other courtyards for many years. How could they come suddenly? The garden asks for my advice? That’s why I brought Ji Fan and the others with me, otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to sit here now. Also, there was a problem with the other hospital’s accounts, and I didn’t get angry on the spot. There is something tricky in it, and I don't want to scare the snake. On the way back, we met Zhao Yi again. After Zhao Yi left, the assassin arrived. If Zhao Yi has nothing to do with this matter, I don't believe it." Shen Qinglan said.

"Don't worry, even if Madam Du and Steward Liu are old people beside my mother and concubine, I will not tolerate it." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan sighed, "I'm afraid, these two people are not good people. The mother-in-law's death may have something to do with them."

Zhao Shun was silent for a long time without speaking, apparently unable to believe this statement.After a while, he sneered, and said: "If it wasn't for what happened today, I'm afraid I would never suspect them in my life. Tomorrow, I will call Murong Bo back and ask him to investigate in person."

"The concubine's side has already started, and the queen mother's side is still ready to move. The prince, Zhao Bai and Jiang Chuo's affairs, let's arrange it as soon as possible." Shen Qinglan said.

"it is good."

Zhao Shun took her hand, "Sisi, I surprised you today. Before I married you, I promised to protect you, but today I almost broke my promise. I... now I feel scared when I think about it."

"You and I, husband and wife, should be in the same boat, not only you have to protect me, but I have to protect you too." Shen Qinglan said.

Five days later, Zhao Bai came to Linyuan, and Shen Qinglan and Zhao Shun were waiting in the main hall of Jiahe Ju.

I saw Zhao Bai wearing a pale brocade robe and holding a folding fan in his hand, which had a bit of fairy air.

Shen Qinglan said with a smile: "Your Highness, the clothes you are wearing today are like the young master Pianpian walking out of the painting."

Zhao Bai smiled and lowered his head, looked at his clothes, "How is it? Does it smell like your second brother?"

"What! My second brother is not as good as you at all, he is a scumbag!" Shen Qinglan said.

"Hahaha...that's right! The description is very appropriate!" Zhao Bai said, got up and glanced at Zhao Shun, and said again: "Brother Wang, why don't you seem to be very happy today?"

Zhao Shun put down the chess piece in his hand, glanced at him, sighed and said nothing.

"Brother Wang thinks that his cousin is a good cabbage, and she will be humiliated by a pig like you." Shen Qinglan said with a smile.

Being said to be a pig, Zhao Bai was not angry, instead he smiled and said, "Since Brother Wang thinks so, does it prove that I have already succeeded halfway?"

"Judging from your mental state and state today, I think it's half the battle." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun snorted coldly, and complained: "Dressed up like a butterfly..."

"Ah? Is it a flower in my dress?" Zhao Bai looked at Shen Qinglan.

"No flower, it's very good, it does have a bit of my second brother's charm, but there is still a little recklessness on him." Shen Qinglan said.

"Reckless...then I'll be weaker for a while?" Zhao Bai asked.

"Well, if you are weak, sister Yanyan likes the kind of beautiful weak scholar." Shen Qinglan said.

"Okay, let's go, let's go to Piaoxiangxie." Zhao Shun got up and said.

"Well, let's go."

Shen Qinglan and Zhao Shun went to Piaoxiangxie first. The peach blossoms here are in full bloom, accompanied by the sound of birds singing and running water. The scenery is excellent, and it is also close to Jiayueju.

"My lord, I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time, why don't you play a piece today? I even have the piano ready, Fu'er, bring the piano." Shen Qinglan said.

Fu'er led people to carry the piano table, piano bench and piano together.

Zhao Shun sat at the piano table, fiddled with the strings casually, and said, "This piano is pretty good."

"Well, I specially asked someone to order it the year before last. It's named Lan Shun, and it's for you." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun saw the two characters carved in Xiaozhuan script on the piano, and the smile in the corner of his eyes deepened, "It seems that this is the first time you gave me a gift."

Shen Qinglan smiled lightly, "After all, I was born in a small family, so I'm afraid the prince might not like the things I gave you."

"Speaking of it this way, I haven't heard you sing a song for a long time, why don't you sing one?" Zhao Shun laughed.

"Let's forget it, I'm afraid of attracting wolves." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun lowered his eyes, put his fingertips on the strings, and played a song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud".

Before the song was over, Jiang Chuo arrived, followed by her little girl Xiangying.

Shen Qinglan hurriedly asked her to sit down and enjoy the heavenly piano sound under Zhao Shun's finger.

Not long after, Zhao Bai came to the piano.

"Wow...it's His Royal Highness Fifth."

"Your Highness Fifth is so handsome! There really is such a handsome man in the world!"

"Yes, yes, as if walking out of a painting!"

"Is that the Fifth Highness? It's so fresh and timeless, it's even more beautiful than Pan An."

……

Yan'er led Fu'er and the little girls in amazement.

Shen Qinglan smiled, if all the maids in the Shen residence were amazed by Zhao Bai, then his second elder brother would naturally be compared.

After finishing the song, Zhao Bai smiled slightly and said: "Brother Wang's piano skills are really amazing, comparable to the sounds of nature."

"His Royal Highness has praised you." Zhao Shun said.

"I've seen Brother Wang and Sister Wang," Zhao Bai clasped his fists in salute, looked at Jiang Chuo again, and asked, "This lady is..."

"This is Miss Jiang's concubine, with a single nickname." Shen Qinglan introduced.

"So it's Miss Jiang, I'm sorry." Zhao Bai said.
