Qi Huang squinted his eyes and looked over. Qi Xun, who was kneeling next to Shen Yinlu, immediately knew his father's happiness and anger, and took Shen Yinlu's arm:

"It's getting late. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow after my father has rested!"

Shen Yinlu took a breath and could only keep silent and stopped talking in a hurry.

As soon as Emperor Qi left, several people followed him out of the study.

The prince whispered to Shen Yinlu: "Go back!"

Shen Yinwen blinked and obeyed, and followed the prince. When the two were about to leave, Qi Xun called out——

"His Royal Highness."

The two of them paused and turned around.

Qi Xun took a step forward. The nearby night cast a deep shadow on his features. He looked at the prince, his eyes showing some unhappiness and hostility:
"I don't have much contact with His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know when I offended you unintentionally or unintentionally. I would like to apologize to you first. I hope the Crown Prince will forgive me!!"

After saying this, Qi Xun saluted and bowed to the prince, showing his sincerity.

Qi Hechen's eyebrows were light and cold: "What are you talking about, sixth brother? I sound a little confused!"

"Then I'll be more straightforward!" Qi Xun straightened his back and restrained his politeness: "In the previous assassination, I was innocently dragged into the water, and the prince was the victim. The prince should know the reason and the truth! "

"Today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, concubines from the harem, wives and family members of important ministers from the capital entered the palace, and several provincial ministers and wives were also invited to the banquet. But at this time, Meiren Shen from the cold palace drowned and died. Her body frightened everyone, and by the way, a fire broke out. The prince dares to say that the rumors about my birth mother’s origin are just coincidence and not controlled by anyone?!”

"What do you mean?" Qi Hechen narrowed his eyelids: "Are you saying that I killed Meiren Shen and spread rumors to tarnish your reputation?"

Qi Xun was firm and agreed in a low voice: "Isn't it?"

"I think you are out of your mind with worry. You are making malicious speculations without evidence, and yet you say such crazy things. Do you know the consequences?"

Qi Hechen's words were a bit more oppressive, and he wanted to force Qi Xun to bow his head as the prince.

Now that the words have reached this point, Qi Xun did not back down: "You have obviously caught the murderer, why did you detain him without reporting it, let the incident ferment, and saw me as anxious as a clown? What is your intention? Aren't you trying to make things difficult for me? "

After saying that, Qi Xun's eyes moved and he looked at Shen Yinlu, who was silent next to Qi Hechen, and followed the pointer:
"Or do you mean to make things difficult for Mr. Shen?"

"Presumptuous!" Qi Hechen shouted angrily.

Qi Binping intervened at the right time to calm down: "Brothers, please don't get angry. This is in front of the Juanqin Hall. Don't lose your decency. If there is any misunderstanding, we will discuss it in detail tomorrow. Don't offend our brothers. You don't want to do it so late at night." Are you disturbing your father to rest?!"

Qi Hechen glanced at Qi Binping displeasedly: "Sixth brother, why didn't you say this in front of your father? This way you can let your father make the decision for you and punish me!"

"Tomorrow is not too late. The prince should go back and think carefully about how he should explain to his father in clever words tomorrow!"

Qi Xun dropped this sentence, turned around and walked away in a stride.

Qi Binping did not greet the prince too much, but instead greeted Shen Yinge:
"Yixian Shen has worked hard today. Go back and have a good rest. We will meet again another day!"

Such a simple sentence successfully caused Qi Hechen's discomfort.
-
Funing Hall.

Eunuch Guo was waiting for the emperor to change his clothes, and said: "The Crown Prince and His Highness the Sixth Highness had a quarrel in Juanqin Hall, and it seemed that His Highness the Sixth Highness pointed out that Shen Meiren's death and rumors were related to the Crown Prince."

Qi Huang closed his eyes and calmed down, saying calmly: "The two of them have never blushed before, so this quarrel can be regarded as a quarrel."

Eunuch Guo carefully probed: "Your Majesty, do you think this is the prince's plan?"

The pupils under Emperor Qi's eyelids turned, he raised his eyelids a slit, and glanced at Eunuch Guo who was standing near him——

Eunuch Guo immediately lowered his head.

Emperor Qi slowly said: "The prince has a plan. If he plans it, it is enough to use Shen Meiren's death to draw him out. He can't do such a despicable act of sending someone to tarnish Shen Meiren's innocence."

Eunuch Guo whispered: "Your Majesty is wise and has a clear mind, but your servant is stupid."

Emperor Qi: "There is no need for cleverness. It is nothing more than knowing a son like a father. I have watched them grow up day by day. I can more or less have a rough idea of ​​their daily behavior and temperament!"

After that, he breathed heavily and felt a little melancholy: "The prince is calm and resourceful. Although the kindness in front of him is hypocritical and adulterated, since he cares about his reputation, he will probably care about it in his future actions and government. He will be remembered as a benevolent and virtuous person by future generations. Mingjun!"

"It's a pity that the current seven kingdoms are divided and there is a tendency for chaos. In addition, he is born with a weak body, so he is not the best leader in the turbulent situation."

The prince is very good, and he is a good prince respected by Hengguo!

It's just that compared to the king, the prince is more suitable to be a minister of the Heng Kingdom.

It's just that the prince was the last wish of the late empress, and there was nothing wrong with the prince in terms of virtue, talent or reputation. If he were deposed at will, the court would be dissatisfied and the people would be restless.
Emperor Qi stopped talking. He looked meaningfully at Eunuch Guo in front of him and suddenly asked:
"If the position of crown prince becomes vacant, who do you think is better to be the crown prince?"

Eunuch Guo suddenly felt worried: "A slave only knows how to serve his master, but how can he understand state affairs?"

Emperor Qi: "You have been with me for at least fifteen or sixteen years, right? You were always there to serve me during the last dynasty, and you were so immersed in it that it didn't take long for me to see you. But if you say you don't understand at all, that would be fooling you." It’s suspected of deception!”

Eunuch Guo quickly explained: "I don't dare! I am stupid. After listening for so many years, I can only listen to the truths spoken by the emperor. You let me figure it out for myself. I really don't know what to do!"

Mrs. Qi Huang knew Eunuch Guo's slippery temperament, but even with the knife on his neck, she wouldn't jump into the pit openly.

He changed the question: "Of those princes, who do you like to get along with the most?"

Eunuch Guo opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Emperor Qi interrupted:

"Don't talk about Xiao Fifteen, you have to choose from my adult princes!"

Eunuch Guo: "."

That means there are six left.

The third prince is honest and honest, while the seventh and eleventh princes are dandy and arrogant. The only ones who can say that are His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Sixth Prince and His Highness the Ninth Prince!

After Eunuch Guo thought for a while, he smiled and said, "The servant said, please don't be angry, Your Majesty!"

"What's there to be angry about!"

"His Royal Highness Ninth is an easy-going person and has never looked down upon us servants and maids. When His Highness Ninth came to pay his respects to the Emperor last month, the servant happened to have an old habit. The Ninth Highness rewarded the servant with some good ointments the next day. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart."

Emperor Qi: "You bribed you with some medicinal materials? It seems that I treat you very harshly. I don't even give you medicine when you are sick."

Eunuch Guo quickly became nervous: "What did the emperor say? Your reward for the slave is already unique. The slave will serve the emperor in the next life and the next life. How can the slave's loyalty to you be bribed by others?"

"Okay, you are an old man next to me. On weekdays, you not only receive rewards from the princes and ministers, but also from the harem and concubines. If I get very angry, I don't need to eat anything for a whole day. I will be full of anger!"

Eunuch Guo knew that he was too busy with the matter of privately accepting financial rewards, but he did not expect that the emperor would point it out so straightforwardly, but he would not be able to deal with it.

But he has been serving the emperor for so many years, and how can he survive in this palace until now if he has a unhappy mind - "A slave is a slave, and the emperor is a slave who must be loyal to his master. Other slaves do not dare to offend, but the slave knows very well , The slave’s current food, drink, and slave’s life all depend on what the emperor provides.”

Qi Huang closed his eyes and listened to the flattering words in his ears, and his sleepiness became more and more intense.

He remembered: "Where is the medicine prescribed by Shen Yixian?"

Eunuch Guo: "The medicine hasn't been sent for testing yet, and I haven't had time to try it."

Emperor Qi: "It doesn't matter, I'm sorry he doesn't dare to poison me!"

Eunuch Guo was worried, but still asked someone to pour warm water——

Before the water came, Eunuch Guo said: "Your Majesty, my servant is old and has been a little out of spirits recently. I would like to ask the Emperor to give me a pill."

Emperor Qi knew that he wanted to test the medicine for him, so he calmly said: "Eat it, and don't take away the tonics that I can't finish drinking in the future. You have to have a good life and maintain your body, and I have to rely on you to take care of me." !”

Eunuch Guo: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your sympathy!"

After saying that, he took out a pill, put it in his throat, and swallowed it dryly.

Except for the bitter taste in his throat that spread to the base of his tongue along with his saliva, Eunuch Guo didn't notice any discomfort before he helped the emperor take medicine——

After seeing Emperor Qi surrender, Eunuch Guo continued to talk about one more thing:

"Today, the little doctor who was doing the blood test next to Shen Yixian told a servant something. He said that Jingguo's protons are different from ordinary people's blood. They are Pixiu blood."

With this statement, Qi Huang's tired brows and eyes suddenly became energetic.

He frowned, confused: "Pixiu blood?"

This was the first time he heard such a statement.

Eunuch Guo replied: "Medical Fairy Shen said that this blood is extremely rare, so he named it after Pixiu."

The crease between Emperor Qi's brows deepened: "Things are rare and valuable. So, Jing Guo's proton is the best among men?"

Eunuch Guo hesitated and thought at first, and then responded: "It's just that blood is different from ordinary people. There shouldn't be any other meaning, right?"

Emperor Qi dismissed: "If he is different from ordinary people, why would he be so worried about Jing Guo's proton?!"

As soon as Shen Meiren's death came out and it involved Jing Guo's proton, he naturally sent someone to investigate as soon as possible.

The two servants who usually looked after Jingguo's hostage told him that the prince had sent many people to take care of him today.
From the oral descriptions of height and age, the prince's only servants Jin Yuan and Shen Yixian probably matched.

He had previously found it strange that Jingguo's proton had lived in the cold palace for many years and he had forgotten his existence. How could the prince suddenly remember him and send someone to take care of him privately?
If it hadn't been for the fact that the prince sent someone to take care of her recently, and had it been earlier, he would have really thought about Mei Shen's adultery on the prince!

Now think about it carefully, the person who is close to taking care of Jingguo's proton is not Jin Yuan, the servant assigned by the prince, but Shen Yixian?
Does the prince know about this?Or is it that Shen Yixian hid the truth from the prince?
Emperor Qi suddenly speculated: "Shen Yixian is close to the prince, but in order to enter the palace, he goes to see the hostage in the cold palace?"

This question overwhelmed Eunuch Guo.

"What's the reason for this? Is it possible that Shen Yixian is a spy of Jingguo?"

After Eunuch Guo finished speaking, he overruled himself: "It doesn't make sense. Emperor Jing has ignored his son for so many years, and even sent troops to invade the borders of Heng Kingdom many times. Doesn't it seem like he cares about Feng Chuanyi?" !”

Emperor Qi's eyes gained a bit of fierceness: "It is precisely because he has been ignored for so many years that he can live safely until now!"

Eunuch Guo: "."
-
The carriage left the palace on its way to Shen's house.

It was too quiet at night, and the sound of the rolling wheels and horse hooves was particularly clear, making people feel irritated.

Shen Yinluo sat with the driver of the horse just as he had come.

As they were about to reach the ground, the dogs guarding the homes and homes in this street seemed to have colluded. The dogs barked one after another and kept barking at their little movement outside!
The carriage stopped at a fork, followed by a movement of the carriage. When Qi Hechen in the carriage opened the door curtain, Shen Yinlu had already jumped out of the carriage.

"It's hard to turn around in front. It takes a long time to go around in a big circle. Just stop here. The rest of the way is not far. I can just walk back."

After Shen Yinlu finished speaking, he nodded and relaxed with Qi Hechen in the car, turned around and left.

Qi Hechen called out: "Wait a minute -"

He bent down and got out of the carriage, with the impetuous emotion still on his brow: "Aren't you going to ask me?"

Shen Yinluo turned his head, and under the warm light of the carriage's lantern, there was a slight daze in his eyes:

"what?"

"Qi Xun said I caught the murderer!"

"."

Shen Yingo was silent for a while, then raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "What's the point of asking? His Royal Highness has his own reasons for doing things. In short, His Highness will not harm me, so why should I have to ask for it for everything? Anyone who gets the answer will be blamed for nothing."

Qi Hechen frowned: "You should ask."

Shen Yin Leng asked: "What did your Highness say?"

Qi Hechen pursed his lips and said nothing.

According to her temperament, she should ask him!
Shen Yinlu covered his mouth and yawned sleepily, "It's really getting late, so I can sleep in. Your Highness will be busy tomorrow, so go back to bed quickly!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked deeper into the alley!

After walking about ten steps, a bright white light suddenly shone from behind, illuminating her way home!

Shen Yinlu's breathing became rapid, but he didn't stop.

The prince stood there, shining a light on Shen Yinxi and disappearing from a doorway of a house. Then he turned off the light of the flashlight in his hand and turned around to get on the carriage!
Before the carriage set off, Jin Yuan could only hear a low warning to the coachman and casual attendants:
"Don't open your mouth and spit out a word that you shouldn't say. If you hear any rumors the next day, not only your own heads, but also your family members will suffer together!!"

"Yes."

Shen Yinlu suffered from insomnia again and stayed up all night. He stayed up until dawn and ate the porridge and side dishes cooked by Grandma Liu before going back to the house to sleep——

Since Fengchuan is the future overlord, he has his own way to save his life and escape.

She couldn't help but the overlord who would unify the country in the future would die!

If you really want to die, just die. If it wasn't Feng Chuanyi, there would be someone else who was ambitious.
