In the evening, after a simple dinner, Shen Qinglan brought Yan'er and Fu'er to Moshitang.

"Second brother, what are you busy with?" Shen Qinglan asked with a smile.

"I'm looking at the account statement from the account department, why are you here?" Shen Qingshi said, putting down the account book in his hand.

Shen Qinglan sat down, "I am here to inquire about Xingshi, please do me a favor by the way."

"Xingshi asked the crime?" Shen Qingshi smiled, "Then you should ask the teacher first, or ask me for help first?"

"Let's ask the teacher first. Second brother, why did you tell grandma about sister Zhi?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"I went to visit my grandmother that day, and my grandmother talked about what happened when we were young, and she also talked about sister Zhi. I thought, what kind of big storms and waves have never been seen by my grandmother, so I told her about it. Why, my grandmother blamed you Already?" Shen Qingshi said.

"That's not true. Grandmother only said that I should send Sister Zhi's memorial tablet to Luoping City, put it in the temple, and enjoy some incense. Grandmother was thoughtful, I never thought about it before." Shen Qinglan said.

"Grandmother is just here to make you feel at ease." Shen Qingshi sighed, "Nowadays, there are more and more things in the court, the throne is vacant, people's hearts are floating, and changes may occur at any time. Last time, you asked me In the name of confiscating those congratulatory gifts, although it has shocked everyone in the court, it will inevitably lead to enmity."

"I also had no other choice, so I took this one." Shen Qinglan said.

"Well, you've done a good job. Indeed, if not, the Prince Regent will have more troubles. By the way, didn't you just say that you have something to ask of me? What is it?" Shen Qingshi asked.

"It's not a big deal. I'm going to Da Nei to visit the Empress Dowager in two days. The relationship between the Empress Dowager and Zhao Shun has been very tense, so I want to visit her old man and maintain the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren." The love between them." Shen Qinglan said.

"You... want the eldest princess to help intercede?" Shen Qingshi asked.

"That's right, so I have to trouble my second sister-in-law to beg the eldest princess." Shen Qinglan said.

"This matter is easy to handle. I will tell your second sister-in-law later." Shen Qingshi thought about it, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked again: "Sisi, why do you suddenly want to visit the Empress Dowager in Da Nei? I'm afraid, Don't you just want to ease the relationship between the regent and the empress dowager?"

"Oh...you can't hide anything from the second brother. Didn't the second brother know what happened a while ago? Because of Madam Du and Steward Liu from Jingtai Hospital, the prince went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice in person. Princess Xianheng was suddenly seriously ill, It probably has something to do with these two people, and behind these two people is Princess Xianheng. Princess Xianheng colluded with the Jing family, and that was the scene where I was chased and killed by the assassin." Shen Qinglan said.

"However, if it is really necessary to pursue it, King Heng will not be able to escape the responsibility." Shen Qingshi said.

"So, this matter has to be taken apart. I will not mention the collusion between the Jin family and the Jing family for the time being. I am only responsible for finding out the truth back then and making the current Princess Heng pay for the late Princess Heng. It's also on the prince's mind." Shen Qinglan said.

"But... this incident has been revealed for so many years, how can it be such a coincidence? King Heng is the younger brother of the late emperor, and he is quite prestigious in the court. If he does not handle it well, he will be angered and implicated It is our Shen family." Shen Qingshi said.

"Don't worry, I have an idea in my heart, that kind of situation won't happen." Shen Qinglan said.

Shen Qingshi stood up and looked at the starlight outside the window with a sad look on his face.

"Sisi, the relationship between King Heng and the Jin family is very deep. You know, the one King Heng wanted to marry was originally the Jin family. It was because the emperor refused to allow him to marry the prince's mother and concubine Jiang family." Shen Qingshi said.

"I know, but is it worth it for a person who does anything for the position of princess?"

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, Shen Qingshi looked back at her and chuckled lightly.

"Indeed, it's really not worth being fooled by such a person for so long."

After a spring rain, the blooming spring flowers were knocked down to the ground.

In the Great Inner Qin Xiandian, Shun was dealing with official business, flipping through piles of papers.

"Linchuan, are you busy?"

The Empress Dowager arrived suddenly, Zhao Shun calmly put down the pen in his hand, got up and knelt down to salute.

"I have seen the Empress Dowager, but I didn't know that the Empress Dowager was coming, and I never greeted her from afar. Please forgive me."

The queen mother smiled softly, and said: "You and I are blood relatives, why bother to say such outrageous words, my good boy, get up and sit down."

Zhao Shun glanced at Murong Duan, and Murong Duan immediately arranged for the maid to bring tea.

"Linchuan, now your cousin is also living in your house. This girl is wayward. At first, Ai's family advised her not to go, but she refused to listen. A few days ago, Ai's family heard some gossip. People are spreading rumors that Yanyan has already become your person, and she will definitely be the side concubine of the Regent's Palace in the future. She is an innocent girl, but now her reputation has been damaged, you can't abandon her." The queen mother said.

"Don't worry, Auntie, Linchuan will definitely be responsible for Sister Yanyan." Zhao Shun said.

After hearing Zhao Shun's words, the Empress Dowager's smile became even wider, and she was instantly relieved. After all, it was a relationship that grew up together, and it was true that she made this move at the beginning.

"Well, Linchuan, there has been some disturbance in the court recently. Many ministers proposed that the fifth child should inherit the throne. What do you think?" the queen mother asked, holding up the teacup.

"His Highness Fifth has a stubborn temperament and is difficult to trust." Zhao Shun said.

The queen mother nodded, "Since that's the case, you are the only one who can be entrusted to you. The Ai family knows that you want your brother to practice a lot, and you are not willing to help him to the top easily, for fear that he will be neglected in the government. Sad From a family point of view, it’s almost the same now, your younger brother Su is working hard in the official department, and he is diligent in doing things, and his previous disposition has also restrained a lot.”

"Auntie is talking about Linchuan's heart, but...Auntie, to be honest, there are many officials in the court who are very close to the Jing family and want to praise Ziyin as the superior. Ziyin is the only brother of Feng Wang. The son, the prince's bloodline, can be regarded as justified. A few days ago, Jing's vassals also submitted to the Shushu, and several great ministers received the papers. Among them, they counted the benefits of Ziyin's succession one by one, saying that Ziyin is A talent that can be made." Zhao Shun said.

The queen mother was furious, put down the teacup heavily, and said: "Nonsense! Ziyin is not yet three years old, but a child with a yellow mouth! Could it be that the Jing family wants to take over my Zhao family!"

"Auntie calm down, Linchuan is trying her best to deal with it during this time." Zhao Shun said.

The queen mother snorted coldly, and then stood up, "Although Ziyin is the grandson of the Ai family, he has been raised by the Jing family since he was born. If the Jing family wants to use Ziyin to seek power and usurp the throne, it is not impossible .”

Zhao Shun didn't speak, but frowned, looking embarrassed.

The Queen Mother glanced at him and sighed, "Linchuan, Ai's family is a little tired, so I'll go back first."

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
