Rebirth of Weak Daughter of the General's Family

Chapter 26-30

Chapter 26: Barge

At this time, in a teahouse not far from Guanyi Pavilion, in a tearoom facing the street, Shi Helin was inviting his fellow junior Qin Quan and several other doctors to drink tea.

Shi Helin smiled and flaunted the "favorites" he had received in the Hou Mansion: "That lady is just a normal affair, but the old lady gave me twenty taels of silver! This is something I can't earn in the usual three months. Let me tell you that I understand now that there are many benefits for the rich to see a doctor! In the future, as long as I see who is dressed well and looks rich, I will rush on it and show it to others!"

Several people responded with a smile, but felt a little sad: Why is he so lucky!

Ding's attendant helped the four princes and left Guanyi Pavilion. There were too many people who came to Guanyi Pavilion today, and the carriage stopped all the way early. Their carriage was parked in the distance and had to travel a distance. As it happens, they have to pass by Shi Helin's teahouse.

Ding Nei waiter was supporting the fourth prince who was inconvenient on his feet and was walking to the front of the teahouse. A little beggar ran around the street and bumped the fourth prince on his head.

The fourth prince fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch", and the little beggar didn't even look at it, and then ran away. Run to a corner, a person next to him hugged him and packed it with a cloth bag. The little beggar in the cloth bag-Su Chuanya, immediately squatted on the ground motionless. Shen Wen, who was unkempt in civilian clothes, sat down beside the cloth bag, covered it with a torn straw hat, and the people chasing the little beggar ran down the alley.

An ordinary carriage passed by the lane, Duan Zeng jumped off the carriage, picked up the cloth bag and placed it on the carriage, and Shen Wen also jumped into the carriage.

In the carriage, Su Chuanya got out of the bag, and Shen Wen and Su Chuanya took off the clothes outside and put them in the bag. Duan Zeng drove the car until he arrived near Su Wanniang's house. Seeing that there was no one around, Su Chuanya and Shen Wen got out of the car and slipped back to Su Chuanya's home. Shen Xiang and Su Wanniang who were waiting there took Shen Wen back to Hou. House. The eldest lady took the second lady with Su Wanniang to see her mother. This happened several times.

Outside the Guanyi Pavilion, when Shen Zhuo bid farewell to Zhang Yunming and returned to the mansion, he "left behind" the jade pendant that Ding Nei had served on the corner of the road, and was picked up after a few hours.

In front of the teahouse, Ding Neiwei helped the fourth prince and turned his head and shouted: "That little thief! He stole my son's jade pendant! That is the ancient jade of the Qin Dynasty! Who will take back my son for a reward!"

Qin Quan in the teahouse sat upright: "Ancient jade from the Qin Dynasty!" This is an invaluable treasure! Who would wear it like this? He peeked at Shi Helin. Shi Helin was chatting with other doctors: "...I'm looking at boxwood furniture. Don't I have money in my hands? I have to buy a few..."

Qin Quan coughed, saying "I'm sorry", and said to go to change clothes. Seeing Shi Helin didn't look here, but another doctor was watching him, he hurried out of the small hall and hurried down.

The little beggar had run out of sight long ago, and the servant at the door was still trying hard to help the obviously rich young man. Qin Quan rushed forward and smiled and said, "I am a doctor, this young man fell."

The four princes waved their hands weakly: "It's OK, it's OK..." A few red patches on his arm were exposed.

Qin Quan was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at the face of the fourth prince, seeing that there were also red macules, and was shocked: "This prince, you have a rash, how do you feel now?"

The fourth prince was taken aback, pressed his hand to his forehead, and whispered: "I feel a headache..."

Qin Quan carefully grasped the fourth prince's wrist and numbed the lower vein, and asked, "My son, did you have body heat a few days ago?"

The fourth prince nodded and said listlessly: "Maybe, I'm just a little tired."

Qin Quan asked again: "I have a rash on my body."

The fourth prince pointed to his waist and said, "Here is it."

Qin Quan was shocked and said, "My son, you may have smallpox!"

At the same time, the people around screamed and moved away. Ding Naibu said in a panic: "This doctor, how can I treat my son with money!" Sonny and powerful, loud and loud!

Qin Quan was full of excitement with joy and fear. Someone said: "It's the smallpox that hasn't been sent outside the city!"

Qin Quan said hurriedly: "If you want to give it away, I will give it to my family's righteous village!" As if catching the rich man, he can make a good stroke.

Neibu Ding hesitated and said, "I have to go back and talk to the Patriarch. The Patriarch may ask another doctor to see it."

Qin Quan hurriedly showed that he was afraid of the cooked duck flying away and said, "If your son is really smallpox, he must get out of the city! Your patron can send a doctor there to see it."

The doctors who had been drinking tea together finally noticed the movement and went to the door together, and Shi Helin followed out. Hearing Qin Quan's diagnosis, a doctor approached, after reporting the pulse to the four princes, he shook his head and said, "I don't think it looks like smallpox. There is no blisters in this rash."

The waiter Ding said anxiously: "Please help me, every doctor, we have money, and everyone can have a consultation fee!"

Shi Helin heard it, and took a few steps forward to signal her pulse, and then said, "I don't think it's smallpox, either."

Qin Quan was anxious: "Why not! What if it is?" Everyone knew what he meant: I'm afraid it's not for smallpox, this boy will go home, and he won't be able to make any money.

Shi Helin said hesitantly: "I'm not sure, maybe it's chickenpox. I can send it to my hospital for two days and observe it."

Everyone looked at each other again: Think about what Shi Langzhong said just now, he is making money! People immediately discounted the illness he said.

Qin Quan said in a bad tone, "I saw this young man first. Go to my medical clinic!"

Shi Helin said with a grimace: "I'll follow along and have a look!"

Qin Quan said angrily: "Brother Futuo is driving!"

When Shi Helin saw that he had no money to earn, he was also angry, and said loudly: "Your medical clinic is so simple, it is better to let him go home and rest!"

Qin Quan also argued loudly: "If it's smallpox and he goes home, everyone in that family will be infected!"

Shi Helin sneered: "Where is smallpox so easy to get, if it is smallpox, the people around should also get it." Everyone listened and left a little further.

Qin Quan said unconvincedly: "Ten rashes and nine are not surprised, Yu Yi kills you! Even if it is not smallpox, even chickenpox can be passed on to people!"

Shi Helin smiled arrogantly: "You still know that you have been able to get a few consultations. I told you that this is an ordinary rash, let him go home as soon as possible!"

Someone whispered: "You can't make money by yourself, and don't let others earn it to block people's wealth. For example, you have to be kind to your parents."

Qin Quan also angrily said: "I wouldn't let him go home! Healers' parents, even if there is a chance of spending a day, they shouldn't go home."

Shi Helin snorted angrily, and said contemptuously: "You just want to make money!" Turning and leaving with his back.

With a bewildered expression on Ding Nei's face, he handed the Fourth Prince to Qin Quan, and he went to the carriage stop and called the carriage by himself. When the carriage arrived, the four princes were already flushed with a lot of red rashes on their faces, making them really sick.

Ding Nei helped the four princes into the carriage, but Qin Quan himself got into another carriage, saying that in case it was smallpox, he didn't want to spread it!

Qin Quan led the palace's carriage to his medical clinic. Ding's attendant sent the driver back to the palace to report that the four princes suddenly became ill outside. Some doctors suspected that it was smallpox, so he didn't dare to go back to the palace. He went to the doctor's medical clinic first. Look, please send an imperial physician to the palace.

After arriving at the hospital, the four princes were carried into the inner room. Qin Quan quickly dismissed all the outsiders, saying that he was afraid of smallpox, but he refused to let other doctors in, obviously he wanted to take the money. Naibu Ding also drove out the other guests in an upright manner, saying that his master was noble and he asked the doctor to concentrate on nursing.

Not long after they arrived, Duan Zeng's carriage stopped at the back door of the medical hall, and Duan Zeng entered the medical hall without showing up.

Qin Quan and Ding waited in the inner room. Duan Zeng asked, "Everything is done."

Qin Quan took out a mud pot and uncovered the wet cloth covered on it. Inside it was the mud made up according to Duan Zeng's instructions. He looked at Duan Zeng with some distrust, and whispered, "Is it really good for you little baby, but if that's not good, I'd better find someone who is famous..."

Ding Neibu hurriedly interrupted and said, "Hurry up, now it's too late to find someone else. The imperial doctor in the palace is coming soon."

Qin Quan helped the four princes lie down, and Ding Neishi rolled up the trousers of the four princes. Duan Zeng looked serious. He opened the roll of cloth he was carrying, revealing a row of silver needles of various lengths inside. Ding Naishi was also a little panicked and swallowed hard.

Duan Zeng first put a few needles in the wrist of the fourth prince, fed the fourth prince a pill, and then said to Qin Quan and Ding Naibu, "You hold him down, and don't let him make any noise."

Nai Attendant Ding began to tremble and stammered: "Can... can it work..."

The fourth prince calmed down instead, took out a handkerchief and bit between his teeth.

Duan Zeng rolled up his sleeves, exposing dry and thin hands, fingers like claws, and pressed them on the legs of the fourth prince. He clicked up and down, and the fourth prince was already sweating with pain. Suddenly, Duan Zeng raised his head and said, "Listen! There are people outside!"

The four princes and Ding's waiter changed their faces and couldn't help turning their faces to look at the door. At this moment, Duan Zeng raised his palm and slashed abruptly on one of the fourth prince's leg bones!

Those who practiced Taekwondo in later generations could break a few bricks with one palm. Although Duan Zeng is a young man, he is extremely talented. He has been chopping wood and making medicine to practice his strength since he was a child. He usually starts like the wind. He also knows where the four princes broke their legs. When his palm falls, he hears only a slight sound. With a muffled snort, the pain fainted.

Qin Quan was almost forty years old, but he was so frightened by Duan Zeng's hand that he stayed on the spot with his mouth open. Ding Nai waiter holding the four princes can only make intermittent cries.

Duan Zengxiang didn't hear it, closed his eyes, and slowly fumbled his hands on the fourth prince's calves. Qin Quan knew that he was piecing the bones, just rubbing the bones together. This is a secret that the masters did not pass on. Who would have thought that this young man would have such a stunt. Busy focus on the spirit, watch carefully.

Duan Zeng stopped his hands, smeared mud on the broken leg, went to wash his hands, pulled out the needle, and whispered: "When the mud dries, you can cover it.

Attendant Ding placed the fourth prince on the bed with tears and sweat on his face. Duan Zeng rolled up the needle bag, removed the mud pot, and said, "I'm leaving first. You can wait for the royal doctor."

He was gone, Ding Neishi looked at Qin Quan with a horror: "Can you hide it from the royal doctor?"

Qin Quan slowly woke up from the shock of his talent, and said to Naibu Ding, "There should be nothing wrong with the medicine given by my senior brother. According to my senior brother, your master's rash should be more severe in a while. It's amazing. Moreover, with such a toss, his vitality is greatly injured, and the pulse can be diagnosed as weak heart and insufficient Qi, if the imperial doctors really have two strokes."

Neibu Ding let go of his heart, but he had other worries, and asked Qin Quandao: "You quarreled so badly with your brother, do you care if he speaks ill of you?"

Qin Quan said in a bit of surprise: "He has spoken ill of me since he was a child, and how did he say good things about me in his mouth?"

Nai Attendant Ding hesitated and asked, "Are you really not complaining about him?"

Qin Quan frowned: "Why should I blame his original master because I was too stupid and couldn't memorize those medicinal soups. When he tried to drive me out several times, the senior brother stopped me and said that I have a good heart and should be a doctor. Even if I can't be a doctor in the future, I can still make medicine. When I first started practicing medicine, my elder brother took over the patients who could not be cured. Sometimes people died in the hands of my elder brother, and he said it was his fault. To admit my mistakes, he said that I was so stupid that I couldn't see any disease. Naturally, I couldn't make a mistake. Don't join in the fun. Later, he didn't let me think about serious illnesses. Refer him to it, and he also triages silver with me..." Qin Quan counted the good things.

Neiji Ding interrupted: "I understand, I understand!"

Qin Quan said solemnly: "He should scold me! My master is no more scolding than him, but now that the master is gone, I really miss him..." At this point, his eyes were red.

Neiji Ding was relieved, and understood why Shi Helin had chosen this junior to take the air.

The news of the four princes was brought back to the palace, and the prince naturally got the report. At that time, the staff had just reported to him about Ji Wenzhao, saying that this man was too arrogant and embarrassed in public, so he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Ji Wenzhao was recruited many times by the prince, and many of his staff were dissatisfied: he was just a chess player, he had just voted for a teacher with a wide range of personal connections, and he had no political experience. How could he be a high-ranking official even though the officials in the East Palace were mostly benefactors. But in the future, the prince ascends the throne, and these staff and officials around him will become favorites. Some of these people have followed the prince since he was fourteen or five years old. They were angry at the thought that Ji Wenzhao might come from behind. Before Ji Wenzhao arrived, he had already gained jealousy.

Now I heard that Ji Wenzhao was vomiting blood out of anger. It could be regarded as grasping one of Ji Wenzhao's shortcomings. Several people spoke to the prince:

"Prince, you should wait for those who are impatient. Don't be busy recruiting."

"Yes, your Royal Highness, Ji Wenzhao should also take this opportunity to sober up, lest you know that there are people outside the mountain."

Everyone thought that the prince would defend Ji Wenzhao a few words, but the prince said coldly: "This kind of person is gone and left."

Some staff members thought that the prince was so keen on getting Ji Wenzhao a while ago, but now he is only suppressed by the comments of the people and can't say anything. He speculates on the prince's thoughts and said: "Since Ji Wenzhao explained that he will get rid of the situation in the next year, maybe then he will Even better, we can try again when the time comes..."

The prince slapped the table angrily and said: "This person must not mention it again! A mere chess game can provoke him to vomit blood, which shows how narrow-minded and overwhelming he is! This kind of person is under my scene, but with good eyes and low hands. More than anything! In the future, he won a hundred sets, not as good as this time today! He won the new game next year, so how can this prince not only don't want him, even if he will one day vote in my name, but also Never use him!"

Someone said: "Ji Wenzhao is indeed a talent, he once wrote..."

The prince interrupted: "The self-cultivation is not perfect yet, and it is nothing more than a rotten scholar to talk about governing the country, so there is no need to mention it!"

Then someone said that the four princes became ill in the street. The prince turned his attention and began to ask carefully about the situation at the time.

An staff member described the process. He said that a doctor named Qin Quan said it was smallpox, and one named Shi Helin said no.

Another person opened his mouth and said: "This Shi Helin is for Mrs. Zhenbei Houfu's medical consultation."

The prince was taken aback and asked: "He said it was not smallpox at the time."

The staff nodded and said: "It is said that there was a dispute on the spot. Shi Helin said that he should go home and raise him. Qin Quan said that even if it is smallpox, he should not go home. Even if it is chickenpox, he will pass. All, I scolded him that he wanted to make money, and turned away."

The prince slowly said: "Does Shi Helin know the four princes?"

The staff shook his head and said: "The four princes rarely go out of the palace, I shouldn't. But he is surrounded by the servant Ding, and anyone with a discerning eye should see that he is an eunuch.

Everyone murmured in their hearts: Did the surname Shi Banghou see that he was accompanied by an eunuch, so he returned to the palace ill and contracted a few more?

The prince groaned: "The person who sent us stares at the fourth prince to see if Shi Helin will pass. In addition, check the jade pendant the fourth prince lost to see if there is any beggar who has let go."

An staff member responded.

Someone reported back that evening that there was a dragon picture on the jade pendant, which was a gift that the emperor had given to the four princes in the past. A pawnshop accepted it and saw that it was a royal thing, but didn't dare to hide it, so he handed it over. The palace gave the money to the pawnshop, and found the man in the business. He said it was found near Guanyi Pavilion. It seems that either the little beggar was lost when he ran away, or he lied and bought it from the beggar and dare not admit it. But these are not important, the key is that it confirms that the four princes were indeed knocked to the ground by a beggar.

Shi Helin didn't go to Qin Quan's hospital at all. Instead, he told the patient in his own hospital that Qin Quan had misdiagnosed again and left the patient who should be sent home.

The queen didn't ask in such detail. She knew that the four princes went to Guanyi Pavilion to watch Ji Wenzhao play chess, and then he suddenly fell ill, which seemed a bit of a coincidence. But I heard some people say that it might be smallpox, so I didn't want people to come back right away and sent an imperial doctor to see it.

The imperial doctor came back and said that the fourth prince was indeed very ill, everyone was unconscious, his heart was weak, and his body was covered in rashes. Not smallpox, but also a sudden illness. The queen asked the doctor to guard there in turn, to see if there was anything unusual, and report it back immediately. She didn't particularly care about the four princes. Now there is a good thing that makes her care more-the first month has passed, and Chen Guifei should die.

Concubine Chen Gui was indeed already dead, and was carried to a secluded hut in the imperial palace. No one likes to live in the palace where people have died. Therefore, the dying people will be carried here to wait for death. The third prince and the fifth princess were persuaded to leave, saying that the etiquette was inconsistent and they could not stay here to watch the night.

Outside the hut, the palace people were hiding far away. People are dying, don't entangle yourself. Just check it out at noon during the day.

In the middle of the night, Sombra once again found Concubine Chen Gui. .

Under the moonless night, Concubine Chen was lying there quietly, unable to make a sound. The black shadow picked up Concubine Chen and went across the window.

He hugged Concubine Chen to a flower bush in the imperial garden where the winter jasmine had just bloomed.

At the beginning of February, the wind was already warm, and spring was here, but Chen Guifei was out of sight. Not only was her eyes blind, her hair was also lost, the skin on her face was covered with bones, her lips were rotten, her body was smelly, and she was like a dead body.

The black shadow folds off a small piece of winter jasmine flower and sticks it to Concubine Chen's lips. The flower looks very beautiful against the corruption.

Concubine Chen was breathing hard, as if she didn't want to give up.

Sombra whispered: "I will take care of your children..."

Concubine Chen was still breathing desperately, short and shallow.

The black shadow said clearly: "In the next life, I will find you."

Concubine Chen's breathing slowed down.

Sombra went on to say: "I will find you before you are twelve years old..."

Concubine Chen Gui breathed out slowly, and the shadow continued: "...together..."

Concubine Chen Gui stopped breathing, and the last ray of warmth left her body.

The black shadow held her for a long time: She arrived in early winter and left in early spring. This delicate and beautiful girl likes to kiss flowers... His bright eyes are flowing, and he smiles at him with amorous feelings... He knows this is her disguise, knows This is not for herself, but she will still be tempted, or she will feel happy in the calmness... For more than ten years, even if she has been using him, she may have used her scheming until the end, but after all, she is the only person who is good to him. : Every time I meet, I prepare tea and snacks for him and treat him courteously; on New Years and holidays, I give him gifts, sometimes even a belt sewn by her own hands; no one in this palace can be so full of warmth and sweet voice Call him by his name; in front of him, let her children respect him as a teacher...

The black shadow put the flower that Chen Guifei last kissed into her arms, and returned to the hut with Chen Guifei, let her lie down, covered her with an old quilt, and whispered, "Wait for me." He gave a kiss on the sunken cheek, walked away from the window, and disappeared into the darkness.

In the same dark night, Su Wanniang and Shen Wen whispered.

Su Wanniang asked: "Ji Wenzhao has left the capital today, will the prince really trouble him?"

Shen Wen whispered: "The prince should be very disgusted with narrow-minded people, because he himself is a very small-hearted person. He can't tolerate anyone who is disrespectful to him, even a naive child, even if he is There is no threatened brother in the throne. This kind of person looks down on people who have similar characteristics the most..."

Su Wanniang suddenly said: "Because he looks down on himself"

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Yes, he doesn't accept himself, so he hates his weakness deepest in his heart. If someone is similar to him, he actually hates that person very much."

In his previous life, Ji Wenzhao had a broad-minded, well-rounded life, and the prince appreciated him very much. Of course, Shen Wen would not tell Su Wanniang about this background.

Shen Wen continued: "Once he thinks that Ji Wenzhao cannot accept failure, he will feel that Ji Wenzhao has a fatal shortcoming. Such a person will not be reused. You see, how good my plan is. That made the prince lose interest in Ji Wenzhao. Unfortunately, no one knows the mystery, no one praises me..." Shen Wen sighed.

Su Wanniang smiled and pushed Shen Wen and said: "I know, I praise you!" After thinking about it, she asked, "Why is he such a person?"

Shen Wen said softly: "This kind of people are generally not unconditionally accepted and loved when they were young, and they are always criticized and criticized endlessly."

Su Wanniang said understandably: "He is the eldest prince, and the queen is a powerful one. Naturally, he will be so strict with him."

Shen Wen whispered: "So, he can't accept any failure, ask for full blame, to get a complete victory, and leave no way for others to survive!"

Su Wanniang said bitterly: "Then cut his way! I used to sympathize with him, but he shouldn't harm people so unscrupulously."

Shen Wen agreed: "His final destiny is definitely no way to survive. He will cut off the vitality of others, and he will enter a desperate situation, whether or not we will be like this."

Su Wanniang gritted her teeth and said: "But I want him to walk into a dead end through our hands, so that is his retribution!"

Shen Wen said: "I understand what my sister meant." Seeing that Su Wanniang was in a bad mood, she hurriedly said, "I don't know what happened to the four princes."

Su Wanniang really changed her mind and sighed: "That poor child, I have been tossed so badly." She suddenly remembered: "Oh, when it comes to the four princes, it's Duan Zeng. I asked, there is indeed a family in Jiangnan who practice medicine for generations. His name is Zeng."

Shen Wen said, "Duan Zeng, Duan Zeng, how much hatred this must be."

Su Wanniang said in a low voice: "The most recent generation of famous doctors is Mrs. Zeng, who has a reputation in all parts of the country. This grandfather has ten sons, all of whom study medicine or medicine, but his favorite is his 50-year-old youngest son. That's it. It was the child born to a concubine he married from the brothel. He took that child with him from the age of five or six and raised him personally. When the child was seventeen, he picked a serious daughter for him. So he took the child to sit in the clinic with the doctor. The youngest son also tried his best to get rid of his illness and soon became famous. When the youngest son was 23 years old, Mr. Zeng was seventy-three. He said seventy-three and eighty. Fourth, if the king of Hades does not come by himself, he must pass on the position of the head of the Zeng family to his younger son. The Zeng family has more than a thousand fertile fields in the south of the Yangtze River. There are more than 20 medical clinics and pharmacies, and other businesses are taken out. big family."

Shen Wen said repeatedly: "No wonder, no wonder!"

Su Wanniang also whispered: "That's right, think about it, he only had this son when he was fifty years old, and the eldest son in front of him is not old. This youngest son has grandchildren in his 30s. How could he let this brothel concubine give birth? His youngest son took charge of the house. Soon after Elder Zeng said this, his youngest son's house was robbed. The youngest son, his wife, and the baby who was still in their infancy died. The concubine room of Mrs. Zeng who lived with them at the time was also dead. Now, only the four-year-old eldest son is still missing..."

Shen Wen could only continue to sigh: "Duan Zeng, Duan Zeng, I really want to end "Zeng".

Su Wanniang also sighed: "When Mr. Zeng heard the news, his eyes were crooked and he couldn't speak. After a year of delay, he passed away."

Shen Wen sighed deeply: "Why do you think the wicked are always in charge in this world!"

Su Wanniang paused for a moment: "So God will give birth to us, otherwise, how can we punish evil and promote good?"

Shen Wen grabbed Su Wanniang's hand and said, "Sister Wanniang, you are amazing!"

Su Wanniang pushed Shen Wen: "You know to say good things, every day your mouth looks like honey, so don't go to bed!"

But Shen Wen was really not saying good things, she was moved by Su Wanniang's responsibilities. She herself came for revenge, but Su Wanniang had morals in her heart. It's no wonder that in her previous life, she would fight for her life regardless of the consequences, because she felt that if she didn't do this, she would betray the responsibility God gave her when she was born.

Shen Wen was fortunate that she had chosen Su Wanniang, and knew that as long as she did not abandon morality, Su Wanniang would always stand with him.

Chapter 27: Exploring the Palace

The prince asked him to guard Qin Quan's hospital day and night, but Shi Helin or others never went there. The imperial doctors in the palace stayed for a few hours every day, and some stayed overnight.

The fourth prince had a rash all over his face, was weak and weak, and fell asleep every day. Although the imperial doctors did not diagnose smallpox, they also found that the four princes really hurt their vitality. The reports of returning to the palace from time to time were that the four princes were indeed seriously ill, and no one would have thought that this was caused by his leg being interrupted again.

Ding Nai Attendant cried a few times so much that he had to lose his breath, and spent a lot of money to get Qin Quan and the imperial doctor to treat him well. Qin Quankai's medicines were all tiger-wolf medicines, and the fourth princes only took it even worse. But the doctors didn't point it out. They didn't know that the medicine in the mouth of the four princes was different from the prescription.

Shi Helin scolded Qin Quan as a quack doctor everywhere, and he almost killed a patient who was not smallpox. If you let him cure it, the medicine will surely cure the disease. The more he said so, the less he would let the four princes change their doctors.

At night, the fourth prince finally woke up in a drowsiness, and the serving Ding Nai waiter gave him soup and water in the dark. After eating and cleaning, the night was long, and the four princes could only lie dry, looking at the window, waiting for the day to dawn. At dawn, he will take medicine again and go to sleep.

While doing nothing, the four princes could only think over and over again in their minds about the game of Ji Wenzhao, his tricks and the style of the game. After thinking about it for several nights, at last for a moment, the fourth prince understood why he felt weird about Ji Wenzhao's behavior after being challenged that day.

The chess style of Ji Wenzhao that he understood is extremely flexible but grand, natural and smooth, without any hindrance. It has both a fierce and hard-to-manage edge and indomitable tenacity. The "life and death robbery" of the chess game is that one party is in an extremely weak position but wants to turn defeat into victory. It is no more difficult than the usual chess game. Ji Wenzhao solves the "life and death robbery". How could it be possible that a new chess game cannot be solved so impulsively that it should be head-on, and there is a lot of pride and enthusiasm! Why is it necessary to leave angrily? It is said that he vomited blood...

Thinking of his own situation and the twists and turns, the fourth prince suddenly realized that Ji Wenzhao was also a move! Fake a shot, and when the fake is true, it is true and false. The four princes had long heard that the prince was in network talent, and asked Ji Wenzhao many times. Ji Wenzhao did this just to get rid of the shell!

It's a pity that no one in the prince's camp truly loves chess, and has figured out the connection between Ji Wenzhao's chess style and his temperament. No one is forced to pass the time in silence by reading the game record and studying the player's intention and style like himself. No one like himself was trapped in bed immediately after Ji Wenzhao solved the game. He could only survive by reviewing Ji Wenzhao's chess game. Therefore, through Ji Wenzhao's game, he understood what kind of person he was. What kind of generous measure is there to see through his disguise.

After trying to understand this, the four princes laughed at night. If it weren't for fear of being heard by someone outside, he would probably laugh out loud. Since Su Wanniang made an idea to arrange his affairs on the day of Ji Wenzhao's chess game, it can show that Su Wanniang understands Ji Wenzhao's actions. If Su Wanniang is a maid, if there is no connection, how could he pay attention to Ji Wenzhao's chess game? It is likely that this person was instructed by someone.

He wondered who was playing this vague chess game: It was definitely not Su Wanniang, she was just a teenage maid. It must not be Zhenbeihou, he is not here. It was definitely not Shen Yi. He had made friends with the three princes, and this chess player would not do such obvious things. Both Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo are still too young, this chess player should be a sophisticated player who can let Ji Wenzhao listen to him... Then who would it be? The four princes hope to see this man one day.

When the news of the death of Chen Guifei reached the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, the mansion was very busy for the wedding of the eldest son in early March and the return of Lord Hou in late February.

Although Lord Hou has only lived at home for ten days, he has already made the Yang family very refreshed. The old lady looked far ahead: Seeing Yang's joyfulness every day, she knew how sad and sorrowful she should be when Lord Hou is gone. So Yang's spirit is better, and the old lady won't let her take care of things. Only let her raise the fetus at ease.

But the closer you get to Hou Ye's return to the house, the less the Yang family can feel at ease. He often sits in the old lady's hall, always pointing a few words, especially like the old lady picking her up.

The inviting people lined up in the yard, taking turns into the hall to answer, and one person hurried into the hall. When the old lady looked over, she went up and whispered: "Concubine Chen in the palace was gone last night."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, sighed, and let Qian secretly suppress her, she dictated the funeral that the Hou Mansion had to prepare.

Shen Wen, who was writing with Su Chuanya in the room, felt very uncomfortable when she heard it. She regarded this incident as her own failure.

She thought that she had a thousand years of experience and should be able to deal with all the problems, but when she really came to reality, she realized that her own power was very limited.

She decided to visit the palace tonight, even if she told Concubine Chen Gui, although Concubine Chen Gui might have been sent away, it would make her feel more comfortable.

Thinking this way, Shen Wen took a long nap. When I got up, remembering that the **** was chased by the **** last time to send a letter to the three princes, Shen Wen asked Su Wanniang to ask Shen Xiang about the three princes, including whether the eunuchs who served by his side were all martial arts experts.

As soon as Su Wanniang's front foot left, Xia Zi strolled to the door of Shen Wen's room.

There is only one Su Wanniang beside Shen Wen, and the other six little maids have been assigned tasks by Su Wanniang, so they don't need to step forward. The nursing mother He has become less and less speechless recently. Hearing that her son is about to get married, she wants to go home. In this way, no one stopped Xia Zi.

Shen Wen watched Xia Zi come over from the window, unable to reprimand her, so he could only act like a child with dementia, sitting in front of the table, picking up a pen and writing boredly.

Xia Zi arrived at the door and smiled at Shen Wen. Shen Wen didn't look up, frowned, and wrote strokes.

Xia Zi coughed, and Shen Wen looked over with a puzzled look, acting as if he didn't recognize it.

Xia Zi smiled and asked, "Second Miss, is there anything you want me to do?"

Shen Wen blinked four times before asking, "Who are you?"

Xia Zi was stunned. Didn't Shen Wen want to come by herself at first? She smiled again and said, "Miss, you forgot that Master Hou brought me back, and you said you wanted me to come to you."

Shen Wen looked stunned and smiled and said, "Sister, what is your name?"

Xia Zi said embarrassedly: "Sister Xia Wan named me'Xia Zi'."

Shen Wen nodded and asked, "Blind sister, do you like this place?"

Xia Zi twisted and said, "I like it very much."

Shen Wen stared at her childishly and asked, "Where do you like this place? You have to work, you can't go out to play..."

Xia Zi wrote: "I'm at home... I have to work, and I can't... go out to play."

Shen Wen asked again: "What are you doing at home?"

Xia Zi tried to think about what she had said to Master Hou and his wife about her family. There should be a stepmother who abused her, so she cautiously said: "Well, I also need to do some needlework and clean up the house. of."

Shen Wen asked innocently: "Do you miss your parents?"

Why do they think they sold me a long time ago. Xia Zi shook her head and said, "I don't want to."

Shen Wen tilted his head: "Why don't you just because they treat you badly?"

Xia Zi shook his head quickly: "Oh, it's because... they are all dead..." I almost forgot what I said at the beginning: my mother died, my father died, and my stepmother drove herself out...

Shen Wen opened his eyes wide: "I will miss it when I die, right? Because I can't see it..."

Cursing my parents to die, Xia Zi hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm just... embarrassed to say it..."

Shen Wen still didn't understand: "Don't be embarrassed, don't you want people to think that you are filial to your parents"

Xia Zi hurriedly said: "I'm a maid here, I have to work hard for the young lady, and I can't always think about my parents..."

Shen Wen said kindly: "It's okay to be worried about what it means to be good to your parents. You see, sister Wanniang always goes home and takes me with me. I will go out to have fun by the way...you will take me someday. Go see your parents"

Xia Zi blurted out: "Miss is too polite, how can you... uh... they have passed away..."

Shen Wen sighed: "It is really uncomfortable to say that his parents have passed away."

Xia Zi frowned. This sounded vague, but it seemed that she knew that her parents hadn't passed away, but she had to say so. She looked at Shen Wen nervously. Shen Wen put down the pen, with both hands supporting the jaw, and the little adult said: "I actually want to go out to play, or else, someday you will say to take me to see your parents and take me out of the house to play. Let's play!"

Xia Zi's heart jumped again: "This, miss, my parents... have passed away..." How many times do you want me to say it!

Shen Wen blinked and said, "I'm talking about going to see their graves, so I can go out and play! You can also give them incense and kowtow, don't you miss them very much?"

Xia Zi was a little flustered: "Well, my home is very far away...their tomb is also very far away, otherwise, I wouldn't go so far to join me."

Shen Wen slapped a snake and said along the pole: "It's good to be far away! We can go all the way! My brothers and sisters can all ride horses, and I want to learn too! And, you have come over as you walk, we should be riding fast. La! What is your hometown called, I will show my brother to see how many days he will ride a horse."

Xia Zi had said to Lord Hou that he had never been to the place where he had come. In the past few months after entering the Hou Mansion, no one had ever asked about it, so he almost forgot the place. He raised it fiercely, unable to remember his name for a while, and said hesitantly: "It's called...Yuncheng...Qing...Liu...Yangzhen...Liujing Township..."

Shen Wen frowned and nodded, "It's so hard to remember!"

Xia Zi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Little place, miss you don't need to remember."

Shen Wen smiled again: "Then tell me about your hometown! I haven't been out, and I especially want to know about things outside." Shen Wen knew that Xia Zi was from the capital, and her parents sold her to the eldest prince. House. Later, she married as a concubine, and the place where she sent her off was in the city.

Edited by Xia Zihu: "My house...there is a mountain..."

Shen Wen asked immediately: "What is it called?"

Xia Zi blinked: "It's called Nanshan."

Shen Wen nodded earnestly: "Oh, Nanshan, I remember, there is more"

You still remember it! Later, I told my wife to find out what to do. Xia Zi became nervous and stammered: "Also, there is a river..."

Shen Wen asked enthusiastically: "What is it called?" She believes that Xia Zi has not received systematic training, and it is impossible to weave the whole background thoroughly.

Xia Zi oozes sweat under her armpits, and reluctantly says, "Call...Call Xiaohe...Baihe..."

Shen Wen happily went to get the pen: "Wow! Liujing Township, Nanshan, Baihe, I want to write it down and give it to my brother, so that he can find out where this place is, and we can go to your hometown to play in the future..."

Xia Zi was really panicked. When she came, she knew that there was a girl who was kicked out by her stepmother in Liujing Township. After she was removed from her mouth, she had her identity. People over there could testify to what she said, but they couldn't see it anyway. Yourself. But I have never lived there before, and when it comes to the scenery over there, I will definitely reveal my stuff.

She hurried over to pick up Shen Wen's pen and ink and smiled and said, "Miss, leave my house alone. I don't go out often at home. I listen to others and I don't know what it really looks like. The lady should tell. What do I like to do?"

Shen Wen looked at Xia Zi sympathetically: Lies are very tiring, she said as a confidant in her heart. One lie must be made up for with ten thousand lies, which is very hard work.

Shen Wen Ren Xia Zilai put pen, ink and paper on the table, and said childishly: "I told you, I like to go out! Everything outside is better than Fuzhong! Going to Sister Wanniang's house is fun!"

As she was talking, Su Wanniang came in from outside, and when she saw Xia Zi next to Shen Wen, her face was gloomy, expressing jealousy.

Xia Zi laughed and said, "Sister Xia Wan, I just came in to help."

Su Wanniang said nonchalantly: "Since you have time to help, then I will do some work with the badao from the embroidery room. The grandson's wedding is within a month, and the whole mansion is going crazy. Although the bride is taking care of it. We have to pay for our own embroidery, but we have to pay back or something. There are still a few of the sachets and purses that the young lady will bring to the young lady."

Xia Zi bowed his head to answer, and walked out, Shen Wen said enthusiastically: "Blind sister, I will talk later!"

Xia Zi hurriedly turned around and smiled: "Thank you, Miss!" Pretending not to see Su Wanniang's fierce eyes, she walked out of the house.

Su Wanniang slammed the door behind Xia Zi, and listened by the door as Xia Zi walked far, and then she reached Shen Wen's side and whispered: "It's almost time to come."

Shen Wen smiled coldly: "She has to know my background and preferences, introduce people to me, coax me out of the house, and hide things from me. All of these have to be heard."

Su Wanniang laughed: "It's enough for her to work."

Shen Wen asked: "It's not easy to ask my sister about the eunuchs next to the third prince. I am still worried about you."

Su Wanniang smiled: "I thought it was difficult. I prepared a big set of things to turn around, but the eldest lady seemed to particularly want to talk about the three princes. I just mentioned that the concubine Chen Gui died in the palace. Is that the third prince? Her mother, the eldest lady talked about the life experience of the three princes, and couldn't stop. Speaking of the three princes being raised by Concubine Chen, his love with Chen Guifei's mother and son must be particularly uncomfortable now. She also talked about the palace. The queen inside is cruel, if the emperor hadn't sent her own **** Father Gu to follow Concubine Chen for so many years, Concubine Chen and her children would not live until now, they would have died of illness like the mother and son of the second prince. Oh, so did the mother of the fourth prince. Died of illness." Su Wanniang sighed sympathetically.

Shen Wen keenly grasped the main point: "No wonder the emperor sent his own eunuch, the master of Ouchi, it must be the one who chased me that night."

Su Wanniang said: "The eldest lady said that the martial arts of the three princes belonged to the prince Gu. When they went out on horseback and hunting, the prince Gu followed the third prince. She said that now the prince no longer has that prince. I didn't see the Lantern Festival at night. Later, the third prince went to my house and he did not follow him. It seems that the emperor withdrew his **** and Concubine Chen Gui died."

Shen Wen frowned and said to himself: "This father-in-law Gu, why do I hear you so well..."

Su Wanniang shook her head and said: "I have never heard of it. I also asked the eldest lady, how did I not see Grandpa Gu in the mansion last time on her birthday? The eldest lady said Grandpa Gu never entered the Hou Mansion and said I'm afraid of losing my manners, so I just wait outside."

Shen Wen moved in his heart: It seems that this father-in-law Gu understands the emperor's temperament very well, knowing that he doesn't like Zhenbeihou Mansion and will not even come in. She carefully searched the memory of her previous life and finally found the reason for the name: next winter, the emperor will rarely hold a winter hunt, and let the prince perform the winter hunting ceremony instead. Father Gu's name is associated with this winter hunting.

The ancient emperors also liked exercise and had the habit of hunting. They were Chunsou, Xia Miao, Autumn Shou, and Dong Shou. Spring search is because spring is mostly the estrus period of animals to continue the reproduction of species. Therefore, in spring, we must follow the law of the growth of all things on the earth, and "search" instead of hunting. Autumn and winter are the harvest seasons, the crops are ripe, and the wild beasts eat more fat and fur. It is a good season for hunting. In the past, hunting was even one of the five national rituals, and the emperor had to obey it.

Many poets wrote about the spectacular scenery of hunting. One of the most famous is Wang Wei's "Watching Hunting": The wind is strong, the horns and the bow sing, and the general hunts Weicheng. The grass is dry and the eagle's eyes are sick, and the snow is light with its horseshoes. Suddenly Xinfeng City, returned to Xiliuying. Looking back at the location of the shooting eagle, thousands of miles away, the clouds are flat.

However, the dynasty emphasized culture over military affairs, and the emperor seldom went out hunting. The prince considered himself prudent and had no interest in it. He only visited once when he was young. Therefore, the official hunting held by the court was only once in many years, so Shen Wen remembered the only winter hunting that happened in her life. After she died, she went to read many historical materials about the winter hunting.

During that winter hunt, more than 20 assassins assassinated the prince, causing harm to the three princes next to him. The assassins killed a guard of the prince, an **** next to the third prince, and a civil servant of the East Palace who happened to be talking with the prince.

In the fierce battle, the assassins were all killed in the end.

Some people still doubt whether these people are related to Zhenbeihou, but at that time Shen Jian took Shen Zhuoji to the place of the accident, protected the prince with his own body, grabbed the knife empty-handed, and killed an assassin who had rushed to the prince, using facts to make those The rumors are self-defeating.

The **** who was killed was Father Gu.

According to historical records, many people suspected that the assassination was arranged by the prince, aiming to remove the three princes, but only to kill the father-in-law Gu.

Shen Wen knew that he had messed up the sequence of events: in the previous life, the emperor did not withdraw Duke Gu, and after Duke Gu died, Concubine Chen Gui died. In this world, Father Gu was transferred away. Concubine Chen Gui is dead, but Father Gu is still alive.

If the prince had started, part of the reason was because Concubine Chen was alive and had an influence on the emperor, so the three princes had to be eliminated. So now that Concubine Chen Gui is dead, Grandpa Gu has been transferred away from the third prince. The third prince is obviously less dependent. Will the prince send an assassin?

Shen Wen began to worry that important events in the future would happen out of order and at the original time, and he would completely lose the initiative.

She told Su Wanniang that she was going to the palace to see her, her words involuntarily showed anxiety. Su Wanniang was even more worried when she saw it, and she whispered: "Will you wait until you grow up, why go there now?" She wanted Shen Wen to change her mind.

Shen Wen said: "I just went to see and did nothing."

Su Wanniang whispered or: "Zhangba's high wall! It's not a joke!"

Shen Wen didn't tell her later generations of the Forbidden City that a farmer jumped over the ten-meter-high palace wall, stole the cosmetic case handbags and other things that were on display, and went away. People laughed at him for stealing something wrong, but they didn't say that he was not good at it. What makes the security guard even more depressed is that this farmer is not a master, just a little idler.

Shen Wen whispered: "The height of the wall is nothing, the key is to avoid those secret whistle and martial arts people. I will not go inside, and run away if you see it wrong, don't worry."

The eldest prince moved into the East Palace. Is the courtyard where he discussed matters no longer as small as before, so easy to guard, and easy to approach these problems? Shen Wen was not ready to say it, so he decided to act by chance, go and see, and express his opinion to Concubine Chen Gui. Sorry to come back.

After dark, Shen Wen finished his outfit, tied two pieces of dry wooden boards one and a half feet wide for crossing the river behind his back. He also covered his black clothes with a black scarf on his head. In order to conceal her figure, she wore a thin barrel-like jacket, looking short and fat.

Su Wanniang said worriedly: "Don't let anyone know that you came from the Hou Mansion-in Quanhou Mansion, you are so tall."

Shen Wen smiled and said, "You mean to say that it's so short. If I'm discovered, I will definitely not run back here. I must run to Changlehoufu and let them find it there."

Su Wanniang said hurriedly: "I said something wrong! Where can you be found! It must be fine!"

In the middle of the night, Shen Wen squatted in a dark corner of the palace. Thinking of Su Wanniang's words, she began to wonder if there was really a taboo of "you can't say good things before you act", she knew she had been discovered.

In the beginning, it was a feeling. Shen Wen's consciousness cannot be extended too far, he can only rely on intuition. But now she used her consciousness to clearly explore a hot body that was ten feet away from her.

She had heard that the emperor left the east gate after his death, thinking that most dead people should stop in the east of the palace, so she chose to approach the palace from the east.

Three rows of white jade bridges are juxtaposed across the moat. The torches on the bridge are bright, reflecting the dark water under the bridge. In the turret of the city, someone looked at the bridge from a distance, but there was no stone bridge over the river in darkness.

Shen Wen's light work was not enough to walk on the water without sinking, so she could only place a wooden board lightly on the water, squat on it with air lift, and lightly stroke the river with another wooden board and quickly crossed the river. When she reached the bottom of the river bank, she jumped ashore, but hooked her body with her feet. She turned her head and picked up the plank from the river and tied it to the back with the one in her hand. Then, in the shadow of the river bank, she waited for a city. The silence in the patrol was on the ground, and he went to the city with his hands and feet on the ground.

After crossing the moat and the outer wall, Shen Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling that he had passed the biggest obstacle, he began to fly briskly on the walls and eaves, patrolling the houses below, trying to find the speakers and listen to what they were talking about.

The palace in this part of the palace is quiet and cold, with few people living, and no hidden posts. Shen Wen went deep into several floors of pavilions, only to see a few court ladies and eunuchs, but did not hear any substantive words.

Shen Wen felt that he was doing a useless thing, so he chose a wall and sat in silence for a while. She said "sorry" to the dead concubine Chen: If you hadn't been born again, you might not have died early. If you are really poisoned to death, when I clean up the prince and the emperor in the future, I will count you as a share...

In fact, she also knew that she was not only here for Concubine Chen, but also to balance her own psychology: she suffered the first setback after rebirth, and wanted to make up for it with a challenge. In the Imperial Palace, very people can come. She needs to come once to overcome this obstacle and feel a little sense of accomplishment, which is to cheer herself up.

Around this time, Shen Ji felt that someone had discovered himself.

Shen Wen immediately got up and ran towards the outer wall. She kept track of her way, and jumped across the undulating houses without hesitation. Seeing that she was about to reach the outer wall, Shen Wen stopped. She needed to wait for the patrol on the wall to break more people. At this time, she used her consciousness to accurately sense the location of the chaser.

Shen Wen didn't dare to move, slowed his breathing and entered the turtle's breath. She knows that few people can use consciousness like her. People still need to rely on hearing and sight to find people. As long as she doesn't move and her breathing is extremely weak, it is not easy to find her exact position.

Sure enough, the other party lost the goal and stopped moving, and the two sides stood in a stalemate for a long time.

Suddenly, the other party said dumbly: "Follow me..."

Shen Wen was taken aback: This is an enemy or a friend

Then the other party turned around and left, Shen Wen hesitated: If the other party is an enemy, follow along like this, if it is a trap, he can explain it himself. If the other person is a friend, I missed an opportunity...

But thinking that she is not an ordinary child, she suddenly felt violent in her heart: I have died once, so I have to be afraid of anything. Besides, my light work can be regarded as unmatched in the world. No matter how many people are running away, they can't help themselves. Go see what's wrong

Shen Wen then followed the black shadow in front of him and ran, and the two of them completely dropped the order of chasing one after another.

The dark shadow led Shen Wen around the palace in seven turns and eight turns, sometimes stopping to wait for the patrol to pass by. Gradually, the lights in front of me gradually brightened, and the palace became tall and spacious, and one room was even more glaring. The black shadow arrived near the palace and stopped on a roof ridge.

Shen Wen stopped three feet away from the shadow of the black shadow, and when he saw that the shadow was motionless towards the palace, he stared at it. There are guards coming and going outside the palace, but it is much more relaxed than the small courtyard in the mansion of the big prince. In the faint voice of conversation, Shen Wen heard the titles such as "His Royal Highness" and "Prince Prince", and Shen Wen understood that this was where the Prince's East Palace was located.

It's easy to break through the iron shoes. Shen Wen smiled, but now she dare not enter the East Palace with this person on the sidelines. What should I do when the person outside called out? She turned and ran outside. She had to see if she knew the road or not. Fortunately, she managed to return to the outer wall not long after.

Just where he and the black shadow stood at the same time, Shen Wen stopped, and sure enough, the black shadow also chased her and stopped outside Zhang Yu. At this time, Shen Wen was basically certain that this was the father Gu who had chased him last time.

Shen Wen didn't understand how Father Gu, who was next to the emperor, would point him to the position of the East Palace. It was because he warned the three princes last time, did the other party think he must be the prince's enemy? The three princes warn against the queen

The most important thing now is not to reveal his identity. Shen Wen clasped a fist and bowed to the other party, but the other party did not respond. Shen Wen didn't wait any longer, listening to the sound of footsteps in the city, lightly on the wall with guard, and then fell down again. The dark shadow did not chase Shen Wen out of the palace, but Shen Wen felt that when he flew away from the moat again with a wooden plank, someone on the dark city had been watching him.

For insurance, Shen Wen really crossed a corner of Changle Hou Mansion before returning to Zhenbei Hou Mansion. At this time, it was almost dawn, and Su Wanniang sat on Shen Wen's bed, looking through her eyes.

As soon as Shen Wen jumped into the window that Su Wanniang gave her ajar, Su Wanniang rushed over, hugged Shen Wen, and whispered: "It scared me to death, scared me to death! There was a period of time in between. I feel very bad..."

Shen Wen thought that he had taken a risk tonight, and suddenly felt exhausted. He hugged Su Wanniang and said, "I am also exhausted. Help me go to my mother and grandmother to ask for leave, so that I can sleep well."

Su Wanniang responded and hurriedly helped Shen Wen undress and hide the board. Shen Wen fell asleep and fell asleep, except for two brief wake-ups in the middle, he really woke up after sleeping for a whole day and night. Su Wanniang strictly forbids the girls in the courtyard to make noisy, she went to the old lady and his wife and said that Shen Wen felt cold in the spring and was afraid of cold and lethargy.

Shen Wen's health has always been good, the old lady said to let her sleep well first, and then let the doctor come to see if it's not good. As a result, Shen Wen woke up the next morning and went to ask An to have breakfast with the old lady. He ate eight small buns and three bowls of porridge in one go. The old lady was terrified and finally stopped her from eating any more. , Said he was afraid that Shen Wen would eat his stomach. He didn't even mention the matter of asking the doctor to treat her.

Soon, the nurse He resigned from the errand of the Hou Mansion and went home to prepare for her grandson. Everyone said that she was squeezed away by Su Wanniang, and Su Wanniang's dominance in Shen Wen's courtyard was confirmed again.

On the day Hou Ye arrived at the house, the queen's post was also delivered to the house.

In the month of Jichun, according to the ancient rule: "The law of the first king, the emperor is the farmer, the concubine kisses the silkworm, and the world is worried about clothing and food" (quoted from "Han Shiwai Zhuan"), that is, the emperor goes to the fake land to plough the land. , The queen's concubine kissed the silkworms-picking a piece of silkworm leaves and spinning them on the loom, expressing concern and worry about the world's harvest and clothes, they must do it themselves, although they must be the last to starve to death on this land and freeze to death. People.

The emperor cultivated the southern suburbs, and the queen loved the silkworms in the northern suburbs. The emperor brought civil and military officials with him, and the queen naturally let the maid of the capital go along according to her character. This year, after the pro-mulberry ceremony, the queen will also hold a banquet in the palace as usual to celebrate with all the women and ladies.

The post to Zhenbeihou specifically pointed out that the old lady and wife of Zhenbeihou were asked to take the two daughters of Zhenbeihou to the banquet.

The old lady frowned as she watched the post, and her heart beat a drum. But Yang was in a high mood because her husband had arrived home, and didn't think it was anything.

 Chapter 28: Family motto

This time, Lord Hou came back to visit relatives. A letter was reported to the palace, and the emperor returned to the mansion in the afternoon without summoning him.

Yang's stomach for more than five months was already showing, and he was held by Zhenbeihou before he bends down when he saw Lord Hou bowing. Under the gaze of the old lady and the children, the two people still flirted for a moment. Yang's eyes were tearful and she looked like a little girl. The old lady coughed vigorously to express some of her dissatisfaction.

Shen Wen felt that maybe it was the feeling of spring, maybe because his mother was pregnant, or maybe because his eldest brother was about to get married. This time his father came back, the overall atmosphere was not as depressing as last time.

After the father met the old lady, the children went up to salute his father, and Shen Wen once again used a baby to let his father hold him. She leaned on Zhenbeihou's shoulder and explored with consciousness, and her father's shoulder was completely healed.

When the older children saw Shen Wen going to shame again, they immediately glared at Shen Wen with hatred. Shen Wen has moved more than an inch in the past six months, she is really a big girl. No matter how cheeky she was, she felt a little embarrassed to be held by her father, twisted twice, and slipped down by herself, holding only her father's hand to pretend to be a child.

In the spring breeze, the afternoon sun is shining and warm. Zhenbeihou held his little daughter with one hand, his wife with the other hand, looking at her health and lovingly looking at her mother. He was about to marry the tall and straight eldest son, the second son with a gentle smile, and the youngest son with bright eyes. The eldest daughter was delighted for a while, and the wrinkles around her eyes made a deep smile.

Under Shen Wen's silly smile was a more calm heart: She had just learned a lesson, that is, she can't think that she is invincible just because she knows and understands. Things are done by people, no one, what can she do if she has information. If she does not act cautiously and does not plan too much, then in the future, the stronger the happiness now, the more miserable the ending will be.

Thousands of years of wandering completely broke her original thinking frame. She no longer accepts that someone can deliberately destroy the happiness and happiness of others, no matter how powerful and reason they have, they shouldn't have this right.

At the family banquet held for Master Hou that night, Shen Wen still sat cheeky beside Master Hou. She was the youngest daughter. Seeing her squeezed over, the old lady let her sit between herself and Master Hou without reproaching her.

Because Shen Wen rarely gets along with his father, he always wants to seize the opportunity to spend more time with his father to understand what kind of temper his father is, and whether he can expose the prince's conspiracy to his father in the future.

A habit developed in the army, Master Hou eats quickly, while Shen Wen is still chewing hard, Master Hou has already put down his chopsticks.

Seeing a few children put on chopsticks one after another, Hou Ye said, "Don't learn from those civil servants' homes, you continue to eat." But no one picked up the chopsticks anymore.

The old lady smiled and said, "They usually eat well, so don't worry if they can't get enough." In a word, the dinner is over.

After the meal, the refreshment came, and Hou Ye began to ask the children what they had done one by one. Starting from Shen Yi, they all reported what they did, learned what martial arts and read books and so on. When he arrived at Shen Wen, Shen Wen said that he did not read any books, but only practiced embroidery, which was despised by the children. A handful.

After reporting her homework, the old lady said that Master Hou was tired and asked the children to go back to rest. Only Shen Wen clung to Master Hou's arm and kept going, and kept saying to stay a while.

The old lady didn't urge too much. After the older children left, she said, "Wen'er has also been invited by the queen. She is going to the palace to attend a banquet."

Hou Ye immediately laughed, shaved Shen Wen's face and said: "Wen'er is old and is going to see the world."

Shen Wen was shy, and immediately put Master Hou into the category of people with low sensitivity.

The old lady sighed slightly and said: "Wen'er had a quarrel with the fourth princess and the prince. I don't know if the queen will..."

Shen Wen immediately said: "Why don't I remember having a quarrel with them? I always laughed."

Hou Ye laughed: "Wen'er is still right. My child, Wen'er has not quarreled about any major issues."

Shen Wen upgraded Hou Ye to the category of "Wooden Head".

The old lady seemed to have some doubts. Yang said: "Mother, don't worry, Wen'er is only nine years old in August this year. How old is the prince, and the empress will embarrass the eight-year-old Wen'er for little things."

The old lady shook her head slowly.

Hou Ye said to Shen Wen: "Wen'er, remember not to quarrel with others, be modest and be polite to the prince and queen!"

Shen Wen nodded his head and once again upgraded Hou Ye into the "pedantic" level. She smiled and asked Lord Hou: "Father, is the prince a good person?"

Hou Ye was taken aback, looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, he asked in a low voice: "What does Wen'er mean by saying this?"

Shen Wen said in a childish and serious manner: "If he is not a good person, what can I do?"

Master Hou frowned, and said, "Wen'er can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. The prince is the king, and the king is the same as his parents. Our courtiers must be obedient and can't violate..."

Shen Wen innocently interrupted and said, "Is you a good person?"

Yang immediately rebuked: "Wen'er can't ask this kind of question! It will cause trouble for the family!"

Lord Hou also whispered: "Wen'er, you can't talk about you, this is guilty..."

Shen Wen opened his eyes with a little fear, and asked: "Why are you guilty if you are a bad person? What can you do if you do bad things? What if you want to harm a good courtier? Is the bad person guilty or the good courtier is guilty"

Master Hou sterned and asked sternly: "Where did Wen'er hear these questions and who made you ask you like this!"

Shen Wen said in a daze, "Isn't there someone to teach you? People have good people and bad people? Bad people can't become kings. Good people are not courtiers."

Master Hou got a headache and said with a cold face: "How dare you say these rebellious things! Bring the board!"

Shen Wen immediately burst into tears.

Yang hurriedly said: "Since the incident in the Changle Houfu, I usually don't let her go out of the house. She hasn't seen many times, and it's been a long time since she went to school. My child! Go to bed!"

Master Hou took Shen Wen's hand over, and said sharply: "I, Lord Shen Jiazhong, loves the country, and repays his death with death. I absolutely can't say anything like'You are a bad guy'! Understand!"

Shen Wen nodded with tears, and whispered: "What if..."

Hou Ye interrupted: "Nothing! The ruler called the minister to die and the minister had to die! Heaven and earth, the ruler, the ruler, the minister, the father, the son, and the son! The king is the king! The man who manages the courtiers and the people is the lower realm of the gods in the sky and cannot be disobeyed! You must be a good courtier, just like the father is the father and the son is the son! If the father is wrong, the son can only speak well to the father, but cannot beat the father. The son is not wrong, the father beats the son, the son can only Bear it and show your sincerity in the future. You can't complain, let alone fight back! Otherwise, you will be messed up! If the Gangchang etiquette is broken, the world will be in chaos, and people will be like animals! Do you understand this is a big deal, you can't be sloppy!"

Shen Wen nodded honestly and said, "Thank you for teaching." He called Hou Ye a hundred "old-fashioned" in his heart.

Hou Ye said to Yang again: "You can't just leave her alone. Wen'er is getting older, so you have to look more at "female ring" and the like." Yang Nono.

The old lady sighed: "Wen'er wants to learn, but I was so tired after I asked them to train them."

Master Hou frowned to look at Shen Wen who looked pitifully, waved his hand and said, "Wen'er, go and rest."

Shen Wen saluted, retreated angrily, and sighed secretly.

If it's just because he was young, it would be fine if his father didn't dare to speak the truth to him. But Shen Wen felt that his father really wanted to maintain the relationship between the emperor and his ministers and maintain his obedience to the imperial power. I have never thought about whether a person with a bad character becomes a king, whether he should plan to protect himself.

Shen Wen felt that when it came time to actually arrange the specific steps in the future, he could not tell his father his intentions. He probably had to bring his elder brothers in and planned to deal with the prince and the emperor without telling his father. What to do

The next day, Zhenbeihou watched a few children practice martial arts in the martial arts field. Hou Ye stood on a small platform, and Shen Wen wore a skirt, standing beside him very discordantly, lest others would not see her generally applauded for the wonderful actions of her brothers and sisters.

Shen Yi hit the bullseye when he rode a horse and shot an arrow. Shen Jian danced the sword. Shen Wen knew that the sword weighed more than 20 kilograms, but it looked like two or two in Shen Jian's hands. His movements were strong and swift, and he obviously worked hard. Hou Ye didn't nod to the two children, but didn't say anything.

Shen Zhuo learned the knife, but compared to his fourteen-year-old age, the sword was clumsy. Hou Ye came off the field and corrected several moves one by one.

Finally, Shen Xiang, dressed in a red short suit and leaping horse, made a gesture of marksmanship.

Master Hou is good at himself, and Shen Xiang is a beginner, and his movements are obviously unfavorable. Master Hou asked him to bring his horse, picked up the spear, mounted the horse, reunited with Shen Xiang, and slowly went wrong with her on the horse, while giving She ordered, and fought with her.

The three elder brothers stood beside Shen Wen and watched from a distance. Shen Zhuo said enviously: "I should make more mistakes and let Dad point me more."

Shen Jian said he glanced at Shen Zhuo contemptuously, but Shen Wen felt that Shen Jian might think the same thing.

Only half an hour later, Lord Hou and Shen Xiang rode back to the stands. The two got off their horses and walked back to the stage. Master Hou said to the children: "You are all good, and you want to continue practicing." The children all agreed in unison, only Shen Wen was watching with a smile.

Lord Hou looked at Shen Wen and asked, "Wen'er, what martial arts did you practice?"

Shen Wen shook his head and said: "Too tired, I don't want to practice."

Ever since he heard Shen Wen say "You are a bad guy" last night, Lord Hou has been worried about Shen Wen, fearing that this child will go wrong. Seeing that Shen Wen was afraid of crying and tired at this time, he was even more unhappy, and frowned slightly and said: "Wen'er, to live in the world, you must be able to endure hardships and sins, otherwise, how can you become a weapon?"

Shen Wen asked incomprehensibly: "Why don't you want to be a tool but not a tool?"

Someone around laughed softly, and Lord Hou sighed: "Although you are not a man, you don't have to go to the battlefield to guard the border, but as a woman, you will marry a woman sooner or later. My Shen family has been a military commander for generations, and you will probably marry a military commander in the future. Home, I should know some martial arts."

Shen Wen still didn't understand: "Why do you need to know martial arts when you marry into a military commander's house because they can beat me, do I have to fight them?"

Everyone laughed, and Zhenbeihou also laughed: "The person who dared to beat my Zhenbeihou's daughter probably hasn't been born yet!"

Shen Wen thought that he was more than just being beaten in his previous life, but strangled to death. For a moment, his eyes were wet, and he hurriedly blinked to cover it up.

Zhenbeihou also said: "Wen'er, learn martial arts to strengthen your body. In the future, you must respect your in-laws and take care of your children. If you are healthy, you will be able to take care of your family, and you will not be ill."

Shen Wen pouted: "Xiwu was so tired, but in the end he went to work for someone else's house. If I don't practice, I will stay at home in the future, and no one will marry."

Master Hou was angry: "What are you talking about! If you don't marry, you are unfilial to be a child!"

Shen Wen twisted and said: "I will be with my parents at home, how can it be considered unfilial"

Hou Ye sighed: "How did your mother teach you, I have to tell her well!"

Shen Wen immediately took the opportunity to say: "I don't know anything. I can read and can write poetry! Listen to it: the spring breeze is weak in March and many passers-by go north..."

Master Hou shook his head even more: "Such sentences can't be eaten as a meal, writing poems...what's the use!"

Shen Wen jumped and said, "It's useful! If I become a talented woman, I can marry a civil servant in the future."

Everyone laughed, and Shen Xiang pinched Shen Wen's face: "You are ashamed of you! Now I want to marry someone!"

Shen Wen cried aggrievedly: "It's not that I want to marry. Dad said that if I don't marry, I have to talk to my mother..."

Everyone smiled and hugged Zhenbeihou to have lunch together.

On the same day, every move about Zhenbeihou's home, as well as Shen Wenwen's words and deeds, which he did not become a martial artist, were reported to the emperor and the prince.

The prince laughed: "I can write poems"

An staff member jokingly said: "It's a limerick."

The prince said: "Let me tell the queen about this."

Shen Yi's wedding went smoothly, the scene was not extravagant, and not many people came. Although Zhenbeihou was the chief of the generals, few generals were invited to the banquet, lest the emperor suspect that he might be ganged up. The military attaches did not have much intersection with the civilian officials, and naturally there were not many civilian officials.

The Liu family is half-declined, and the dowry is not rich. The dowry is not carried by the family, but hired. It is conceivable that there are not many people in the Liu family.

The powerful Zhenbei Hou married the granddaughter of a former civil servant. Everyone said that this was an expression of the Hou Mansion's desire to avoid showing up. Reminiscent of what the prince did to the young girls of Zhenbeihoufu, many people sighed for Zhenbeihoufu.

Zhenbeihou Mansion is still very festive, with red silk and red lights everywhere. The food at the banquet was abundant and plentiful, and the wine was drunk as much as possible.

Grandpa Zhang from Pingyuan Hou's Mansion brought Sixth Miss Zhang Yunjin and several Zhang family children to observe the ceremony. Zhang Yunjin and Shen Xiang haven't seen each other for a long time. After seeing the bride's visit, they hid in the boudoir and chatted for a long time. Zhuo was very depressed.

The old lady felt that both Shen Wen and Shen Xiang were still young, and they shouldn't have a new house. After the dinner, they let them go to rest. Shen Wen didn't go to bed right away. He wore black clothes at night and hid in a big tree in the Hou Mansion. She took advantage of the wedding banquet to visit the Grand Prince's Mansion, and now she is saving others by herself, so she has to guard against it.

After waiting for most of the night, Hou Ye and Yang had gone to bed, there would be no secret meetings, and no one around came to visit the Hou Mansion, so Shen Wen went back to sleep.

The next day, the bride recognized her. Shen Wen went to the lobby early in the morning and huddled with everyone, waiting for Shen Yi to bring Liu Clan. The old lady went to the banquet, and then Hou Ye and Yang, and the children slid beside them.

Shen Wen looked quietly, Yang's complexion was ruddy and his lips were smiling. The old lady was holding the shelf, and occasionally glanced at Yang, with some unacceptable meanings. Shen Wen secretly dubbed the old lady: Who are the newlyweds, although the little ones are better than newlyweds, you can't be so blatant, think about me at the time. With the old Houye...Shen Wen just got here, the old lady really sighed, and Shen Wen almost laughed.

The old lady and the Yang family were both straight-forward temperaments. Everything was on their faces. Shen Wen sighed secretly, which made her dare not seek a parent who could cooperate with her in the house.

Shen Yi and Liu's came in, both of them were a little coy. Shen Yi always had a solemn expression on his face, which was rarely embarrassed, and Liu's face flushed even more without raising his eyes.

In the previous life, Shen Wen looked down on this sister-in-law a bit, and felt that she was not worthy of the eldest brother he admired. Not to mention the declining birth, the appearance is not so outstanding, and the daily attire is not exquisite. Soon after entering the mansion, I started to take care of things. The chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea were mediocre. It was because of good luck that he gave birth to two sons and steadily occupied the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion.

At that time, my sister-in-law respected herself, and felt that she was trying to please herself, because she was a young lady in the Hou Mansion, and she was born taller than her. The eldest-in-law prepares a dowry for herself, buys items little by little, and then verifies the gift list. That is what the eldest-in-law should do. My sister-in-law gave birth to two sons, and was very mischievous every day. The sister-in-law butler is busy, and the man in the house is the youngest, so they always bother themselves. At that time, I saw that they did not listen to discipline and could not beat and scold them. I said in my heart that if they were my own children, they would be beaten up and obediently. How could they be so spoiled like my sister-in-law...

But now Shen Wen looked at the shy Liu family and realized that this was a sixteen-year-old girl who was still studying in school in later generations, and she probably spoiled her without even washing her clothes or even cooking. Here, she entered a strange family alone, to serve the elderly, love her husband, and take care of the children in the future. In the special circumstances of the Hou Mansion, after she had a child, her husband went to the frontier, gathered little and left a lot, and did not show her much love and pity. But at the last moment, she sent away her son, and she would rather commit suicide than be humiliated, and gave everything for this Hou Mansion that had not raised her...

When Liu clan arrived in front of Shen Wen, Shen Yi whispered: "This is the little girl." Liu clan smiled and called out: "Little girl." He handed over a purse. Shen Wen took the purse and returned Liu's one, and rushed to hug Liu's, and said sweetly: "Sister-in-law! You are so good! I like you!" She resorted to the honey trick she had always used.

Everyone in the room laughed, and Liu's blushing face whispered: "I like...little sister too."

Shen Wen took Liu's smile again and said: "Sister-in-law will give birth to a son in the future, send it to play with me, I can still teach them literacy!"

These words sounded ordinary, but Liu, who had just passed the personnel affairs, blushed to the base of his neck, and only whispered "Thank you sister".

Everyone laughed again, and the old lady smiled and said: "You know now that your sister-in-law is about to give birth to a son, and there seems to be more than one'they'. Quickly, get a box of fruit for the second lady."

Yang sighed at Shen Wen: "You know how to please."

The old lady hurriedly stopped Yang and said, "Don't tell her, don't let the good things go."

The Liu family recognized their relatives, and the old lady said something happy about the couple. Master Hou and Yang family had just passed the spring breeze last night. At this time, they had to educate their two children to love each other, give birth to an early son, etc., some of them, and only said two things. Just three sentences. The whole family went to lunch together. Liu was a bride and didn't need to wait. Yang was pregnant again, so everyone sat around and happily spent the meal.

After the wedding, Yang didn't care anymore, staying with Lord Hou every minute of every day, always looking reluctant to give up.

After staying in Zhenbeihou for a few days, he went back to the north. Yang did not cry and make a lot of noise this time, because Shi Helin said that if pregnant women have too much sorrow and joy, children will have problems in the future. The Yang cried a few tears and watched her husband go away at the mansion gate. He lost his head and went to rest again.

The old lady did not force the Yang family. Seeing that the spring of March was approaching, she handed the post about Yang's bedridden to the palace, convicting Yang for not participating in the Queen's silkworm ceremony and dinner, but she knew that she had to carry Shen after the ceremony. Xiang and Shen Wen entered the palace for a banquet.

The four princes have been living in Qin Quan's hospital for more than a month. The rash gradually subsided, but it began to vomit and diarrhea again, making the room smelly, and the doctors who went to the doctor couldn't help but cover their noses. Judging from the pulse, the four princes were indeed weak in qi and weak, and his complexion was also sallow and dry. The doctor personally touched it, and there was no possibility of fraud.

Naibu Ding seemed to be unable to bear the smell, and began to carry the four princes on the board to the yard with Qin Quan every day to let him bask in the sun and get rid of some of the smell.

Qin Quan said that the fourth prince had a plague such as intestinal addiction (dysentery). A royal doctor had diarrhea when he went home after drinking a cup of tea there. He was also half-deadly frightened.

Attendant Ding told Concubine Jiang Shu's family that the fourth prince was critically ill, and said that in order to save the life of the fourth prince, he needed a lot of money and medicine. At this time, the Jiang family almost moved Jinshan Yinshan over, and the real money for medical consultations and various nourishing medicinal materials were sent in countless quantities, and Qin Quan kept it shamelessly. When Shi Helin saw people, he said that Qin Quan had caught a wealthy man who could blackmail him, so he tried so hard to ask for money! Shi Helin also deliberately ran to Jiang's house and volunteered, saying that he would hand over the four princes to him, and he would be able to heal him within seven days.

The Jiang family sent someone to ask what the palace meant, and the palace asked them to listen to the imperial doctor. The doctors said that the four princes are too weak, so don't move them easily, and raise them here first.

Qin Quan seemed to be afraid that everyone would not know that he got the money, and from time to time he drove his brand-new carriage to the market to buy things. Naturally, he would encounter Shi Helin many times.

Shi Helin was obviously holding his breath, and when he saw Qin Quan's carriage, he ran across the street and cursed a few words! On this day, it was obvious that the two people were walking in different directions. Shi Helin saw Qin Quan's carriage, and turned around and led his little apprentice to chase him until they ran to the carriage.

Shi Helin said loudly: "Junior Brother! Is your patient still unwell, if you continue to treat it like this, that person really can't live!"

Qin Quan asked people to stop the carriage, jumped down, and shouted to Shi Helin in front of everyone: "You always say that he is going to die. It's been more than a month. Isn't he still dead? This is mine. Excellent medical skills, he cured his smallpox!"

Shi Helin said: "Last time I said it wasn't smallpox, you didn't treat it properly, it hurt his vitality, so he was bedridden."

Qin Quan said, "That's not it! That's smallpox! I cured him. He was weak before he contracted intestinal addiction again!"

Shi Helin said: "Intestinal addiction is caused by heat. You must use cold medicine to treat smallpox. What kind of internal heat does he have and then continue to treat it like this, he will die soon!"

Qin Quan said angrily: "Senior Brother is used to being alarmist! He is my patient. I have to treat according to what I believe. I don't believe that he will die with me!"

Shi Helin also said angrily: "If you don't believe that he will die, he won't die? If you treat him like this, this person will live at most two months!" The four princes should be able to go to the ground in another one and a half months, two months. That's enough.

Qin Quangao shouted: "Just because you can't make this money, you curse my patient like this"...

Duan Zeng saw that they were arguing fiercely, leaning back on the carriage to watch the excitement, covered it with his body, and stuffed a packet of pills in his hand into the carriage from the gap in the carriage.

Shi Helin and Qin Quan were flushed at the quarrel, and finally Duan Zeng went over and helped Shi Helin's arm and said, "Master, don't be so angry, let's go ahead. The Houfu is still waiting." Shi Helin was persuaded to leave.

Qin Quan grunted and said to Shi Helin's back: "You are only allowed to treat the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and you are not allowed to treat a rich son. What kind of brother is this?" The imperial doctor would not let Qin Quan disclose the four princes. Because of his identity, Qin Quan said to others that he was picking up a child from a rich family. After speaking, Qin Quan hummed and got into the carriage, picked up the pack of pills on the carriage in the carriage, and held it in his arms-Pegu Pills, the bone-nourishing medicine specially formulated for the Fourth Prince. This is the second one. Once approved, there is another batch, and the fourth prince's legs should be healed.

After listening to the controversy between Qin Quan and Shi Helin, the queen who was busy with the silkworm ceremony, listened to the imperial doctor's disdainful evaluation of Qin Quan's medical skills, and asked the imperial doctor to continue watching in the medical hall instead of bringing the four princes back to the palace. . Wouldn't it be possible to live for "two months" if the four princes died outside, it would save a lot of tongue.

There was some suspicion in the prince's heart: how could the fourth prince's illness not get better, so let people closely monitor Qin Quan's medical clinic. But the news reported back was that no suspicious people approached the hospital at all, and Ding Nei's attendant didn't even see the Jiang family, and Qin Quan decided to accept or not accept the things he sent. But Qin Quan earned enough money and would not accept patients at ordinary times. He just kept the four princes busy, except that sometimes he likes to go out to buy things, in addition to showing up to his senior brother Shi Helin. The two people quarreled as soon as they met, and there was no act of passing things on at all.

The prince could not see the abnormality, so they just let them continue to stare, and report back as soon as the four princes come into contact with other people. He broke his head and couldn't think that what the four princes needed now was not contact with others, but lying there motionless.

Jichun is the last month of spring, the third month of the lunar calendar. Thousands of flowers spit the show, the spring is flourishing.

The queen's silkworm ceremony was held as scheduled.

Chapter 29: Palace Banquet

There was nothing unexpected about the Queen's silkworm ceremony.

In the bright sun, beside the mulberry forest in the royal mulberry altar, colorful flags are on display, golden drums are blasted, mulberry songs are sang, the queen is in full costume, holding a gold hook and a gold basket, and is accompanied by many beautiful women. Three mulberry leaves were picked very elegantly and solemnly...

Yes, three pieces! It can't be more. That would seem to be a drop in price. After all, we are the queen and shouldn't do any manual labor. This has shown that the queen has set an example for the world weavers.

The queen then boarded the Imperial Throne of Guansang Terrace to watch the concubines, court ladies and concubines picking mulberries. Finally, the silkworm mother sends the collected mulberry leaves to the silkworm chamber to feed the silkworms, and the whole ceremony ends.

Back in the palace, the queen changed clothes and rested. Get up late in the evening, dress up again, and prepare to attend the banquet where the concubines in the palace and the concubines from the capital are gathered.

Thinking of the girl who upset her son, the queen asked: "Is the second lady from Zhenbeihou coming?"

The palace man replied: "Should come. Only Mrs. Yang from Zhenbeihou has taken a leave of absence because she is bedridden. And, I heard that she needs to wear brown clothes."

The queen laughed and asked: "Is the tea for her ready?"

The palace man who was holding the tea immediately said: "It's all ready."

The queen smiled again. Since Chen Guifei died, she couldn't help but smile frequently. The palace man who was combing her hair and makeup took the opportunity to hide the combed strands of the queen's long hair in his sleeves. The queen liked her long, thick black hair most, but she couldn't let her know that she had been losing her hair recently.

It is not surprising that the queen knew that Shen Wen would wear brown clothes. For this banquet, Shen Wen had already threatened to wear a brown coat. This is the color she chose for Shen Xiang's red shirt. Against the backdrop of red, brown looks very earthy. But Shen Wen's reason is that for so many daughters, she is probably the only one who dares to wear brown, so she can appear unique.

The old lady originally wanted Shen Wen to wear a festive color, but then she thought, the color was darker, maybe Shen Wen was not so eye-catching, so she agreed.

Shen Wen was only eight and a half years old. The children of wealthy families were all dressed in colorful clothes for auspiciousness. There was no such dark color in her spring and summer clothes. Shen Wen asked the old lady to find a brown dress, and Su Wanniang forced her to find a brown dress. Xia Zi corrected it for several nights.

Therefore, Shen Wen has not yet entered the palace, her unscrupulous taste in choosing clothes has been passed to the queen's ears, winning the queen's smile.

Su Wanniang was unable to enter the palace because her father had died in prison and she had no innocent life experience, so Shen Wen "promoted" Xia Zi and followed him into the palace. In order to show Shen Wen that she is capable, Xia Zi specially suggested that Shen Wen wear silver jewelry, so that it can be a little brighter.

Shen Wen Yiyan wore a silver collar, a silver bracelet, and a silver hair ring. It really looked a little more colorful in the brown, but it still gave people the impression that he could not get rid of the feeling of "dust with silver jewelry".

The original plan of Shen Wen and Su Wanniang was for Su Wanniang to tell Shen Xiang to wear silver jewelry, but since Shen Wen had the step of Xia Zi, Su Wanniang was saved.

In the afternoon of the banquet, Su Wanniang insisted on accompany Shen Wen to the gate of the palace, and then got out of the car and waited outside the palace wall with the other servants. Under Su Wanniang's horizontal eyebrows, Xia Zi continued to walk into the palace with Shen Wen with a beaming face.

Entering the inner city of the palace, the old lady told Shen Xiang for the thousandth time that she must pull Shen Wen and not leave herself for a moment. Shen Xiang knew the seriousness of this matter, and agreed very seriously, and also severely warned Shen Wen not to run around. Shen Wen looked excited and unbearable. He nodded and agreed while twisting his body frequently, looking left and right, obviously not listening.

They walked into the depths of the palace, surrounded by an endless stream of ladies and young ladies of all colors, full of gorgeous and unusual clothing, colorful, light gauze and satin, fragrant powder, and the slanting sun is innumerable. The gold and silver jade jewellery flickers.

Shen Wen thought with shame, if he had this opportunity in his previous life to come here, seeing such a pomp, how full of vanity and pride in his heart. Is it necessary to have a thousand years of loneliness to see the sinisterness and vainness in this bustling?

He is an eight-and-a-half-year-old child, and he knows what politics and politics know about the grievances of seniors. If the queen attacked her today, then she would be worthy of the queen no matter how she fights back. Shen Wen had a sincere and happy smile on his face. After seeing the palace man who was looking for her in the crowd, he felt contemptuous-the misfortune was imminent and he hadn't realized it at all.

They walked all the way to the banquet hall. What the old lady worried about Shen Wen's loss and Shen Wen's being called away did not happen. The seat arranged for the Zhenbeihoufu was to the front, diagonally opposite to the queen's long seat on the stage. The **** led them to their seats at the table.

After half an hour, after all the invited ladies and young ladies were seated, the queen led the imperial concubines and princesses to the grand stage. The whole hall ordered women and ladies and the palace eunuchs who were serving around them all leaned over to salute. The queen glanced over these people who worshiped her with pride, and the pride and satisfaction she felt during the morning ceremony came to mind again.

The queen motioned to everyone to bow, and after she took her seat, all the women took their seats.

The four princesses who followed the queen's arrival looked at the banquet, and when they found Shen Wen who was sitting in the front row with her mouth half-opened, she pulled a corner of her mouth and smiled maliciously. The emperor asked the queen to call Shen Wen to come, the queen told her, today, is to show Shen Wen good-looking. Shen Wen noticed her gaze and grinned vigorously at the fourth princess. In the fourth princess's eyes, she looked even more stupid.

The five princesses who lost her mother recently also came. Although she wore plain dresses, she could not openly wear filial piety. The aunt is still here, how can the Emperor Kangjian give an out-of-favor concubine Dai Xiao? She followed the eyes of the four princesses and saw Shen Wen's appearance, remembering that Shen Wen once happened to talk about pearls, so that the three princes remembered the detoxification of pearls. The method, although it was too late, after all, let the brother and sister do their best. Knowing that the fourth princess was not good at intentions, she couldn't help but frowned slightly at Shen Wen in worry.

Not far from the seat of Zhenbeihou, Mrs. Li of Pingyuanhou also caught the unkind gaze of the fourth princess and moved her body slowly, hoping to block some Zhang Yunjin beside her. Everyone knows that this daughter and the eldest daughter of Zhenbeihou have a good relationship. If the four princesses do not like the young daughter of Zhenbeihou, it is best not to harm Yuchi and hurt others.

Before the banquet, the **** read the Queen's decree, but it was just auspicious words such as the grace given to all things, and then announced the start of the banquet. A bunch of palace ladies and eunuchs came up to the cloth table with food. During this period, the queen began to talk and laugh with the concubine and the princesses, occasionally they would bring the Pinming Maid to bring their talented and beautiful daughters to the front. The queen rewarded a few words and gave me a gift. object.

Shen Wen wondered, if there is no good banquet, there will be no good banquet, whether it is to work **** his own food or whether the queen is in trouble before the banquet or after the banquet. If it is food, he is at the banquet. I don't want to eat or drink, you can still come to me if it's language, Shen Wen feels that with his eight-year-old status, he is actually more advantageous than the queen. If it is before the banquet, it must be because the queen hates herself too deeply and wants to stop herself from eating. After being insulted, she has to sit down with everyone's ridicule all night. If it's after the banquet, the queen doesn't seem to take herself seriously. ...

Shen Wen didn't know that this was what the emperor meant, and the queen also valued this opportunity very much.

When the head set was almost the same, the queen smiled and said: "I heard that Shanwu, the eldest daughter of Zhenbeihou, and the youngest girl Nengwen, the two sisters of both civil and martial arts, I want to see."

The old lady's heart was tight: here it is! She hurriedly got up and thanked: "The empress has passed the award. The two girls are so clumsy, how can they have that kind of ability."

The queen smiled gracefully and said: "Gu family must not be so self-effacing. Zhenbeihou is the first military commander in the court. People say that there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and there are tiger girls in the generals. It is better to bring the two children up and let Please open your eyes." There was contempt in the words. The old lady is more than fifty, and in her mouth, she is the Gu family.

The old lady looked at Shen Xiang helplessly. Shen Xiang took Shen Wen's hand tightly, followed the old lady to get up, and walked to the queen's table. Shen Wen was very happy-the queen summoned herself before the banquet, and it seemed that she really regarded herself as a dish.

Shen Xiang is almost eleven years old, his body has begun to grow, he is tall, and he has been practicing martial arts since childhood, walking up and raising his head, unlike ordinary girls, he really feels like a female tiger. And Shen Wen, who was pulled by her, dressed so ugly! In the riot of colors, a soil bump! He is short, with short legs and messy steps, so he can't step on a point.

Grandpa Gu, who was sent to help, looked at him from a distance, and his expression was a bit strange for an instant: This girl's footsteps can't catch up with the rhythm of the girl in front at all, but it's really not easy.

When he arrived at the queen, the old lady took the lead in saluting the queen. Shen Wen's movements were exaggerated and childish, not like saluting, but like twisting his hips, and there was a low laugh at the banquet behind.

The queen sat arrogantly and received the gift, and said with a faint smile: "The eldest lady looks like she is indeed a martial artist, do these two young ladies know how to sing poetry?"

The old lady hurriedly said: "The queen is laughing. The second lady has never written any poems. These are all falsehoods."

The queen sneered: "Although rumors sometimes describe a stupid, fat and ugly nerd like a fairy daughter, but sometimes what is said may be reasonable, I want to ask this second lady in person, what is there? The talent that people can praise." In these words, Shen Wen has been positioned as a "stupid and ugly idiot". Asking Shen Wen is just a few more words.

The old lady's face changed color, and Shen Xiang's face flushed with anger.

The queen didn't look at the old lady's face, looked at Shen Wen with a smile, and asked: "Miss Shen Er, come and tell this palace that you were born in the family of a military commander, but you are known as the daughter of'Nengwen', but why this palace is You call the shots, don't ask people to say that you are guilty of deceiving the world." The sneer in the words made no secret. This was originally nonsense. How did Shen Wen answer that I am not good at writing? Isn't it admitting that he is incompetent? I'm good at writing, then you can write something.

Shen Xiang shook Shen Wen's hand tightly, but Shen Wen broke free and said loudly to the Queen with a smile: "Grandma Queen..." Everyone gasped. Grandma Queen! The queen is only in her thirties, and she doesn't even have a single white hair... The four princesses gritted their teeth: Why forgot about this! When she was in the lamp market, she took a bite of a queen and grandma! Now the word "old" has been added!

Shen Wen continued to happily said: "I am called'nengwen' because I can write articles! For example, now, I want to write an'Ode to the Queen's Granny'! Please give me the pen and ink from the Queen's Granny. Write it for the grandmother of the queen. On the street tomorrow, everyone read the text I wrote about the grandmother of the queen. No one would dare to say anything about me... steal other people's names. After reading it, the grandmother of the queen will definitely feel that I wrote well, because I want to compliment the Queen's grandmother! It's not much worse than my grandmother. At most, the queen's grandmother looks a little bit older...No! Much older! Because this is a good thing! The older you get, the older you are. OK! Don't worry, grandma queen, I will say a lot about how you look very old! I also want to talk about the beautiful clothes worn by the queen's grandmother, the big phoenix hairpin worn by the queen's grandmother..."

When she said there were more than a dozen "grand queens", the female officer next to her shouted, "Bold! How dare you say that the queen is old!"

Shen Wen's eyes widened and said: "What's the matter with'Old'? My grandmother,'Lao', is the most respected in our house. My father, Zhenbeihou, must respect her. The queen is the biggest in this palace. For grandma! Isn't this right?"

Is this the same thing! Outside, it's about respecting the elders, but the palace talks about being young and charming in order to win the emperor's favor. But how can I explain to a child that the female officer was speechless for a while, and then reluctantly said: "But, the queen is not old..."

Shen Wen looked at the queen lovingly, and said childishly: "But I look at the queen's grandmother as kind and kind as my grandmother..."

The queen couldn't let her talk anymore, gritted her teeth and grinned: "My palace doesn't like others to praise at will. You can change the topic and write."

Shen Wen shook his head and said: "I only write what I like to write. For example, now, I only want to write about the Queen and Granny! Please give me pen and paper quickly. I especially want to write. There are so many words to describe the Queen and Granny. Don't stop me, otherwise people will say that I'm able to speak."

Shen Xiang lowered his head, suffocating a smile. Some of the women at the table laughed secretly, and some were so surprised: This girl is too bold! Such a trick pinched the Queen's death hole: Didn't you ask me to write? Then I would write "The Queen's Granny". No matter how ridiculous it is, people will say that Miss Shen is a thief girl in the future, and she has to Citing the "Ode to the Queen and Granny" written by her, the queen in her thirties was called a grandmother by an eight-year-old child, and her name was completely stinking.

The queen placed a hand and said: "I don't need to let you write it out. In view of your enthusiasm, I would like to thank you for giving you a cup of tea." The emperor often gave tea to hundreds of officials, and the queen did just that.

The old lady frowned, and said to the queen, "My young girl is reckless and can't be the queen to give tea."

The queen sneered: "She is so sharp-toothed, she naturally deserves this cup of tea from my palace." She opened her mouth and scolded me, still thinking that she was fine! She didn't feel that she was deliberately humiliating Shen Wen before inviting Shen Wen's counterattack.

The old lady was about to stop, and the female officer had already brought tea and brought it to Shen Wen. Shen Wen looked at the queen's face and asked cautiously: "Is the queen's grandmother angry?"

The queen closed her smile, raised her chin and said, "How can I be angry? This is given to you by this palace. Drink it!"

Shen Wen stretched out her hand and picked up the tea. She smelled a subtle smell of almonds. She was secretly happy, smiled and blinked at the queen, and asked innocently: "What kind of tea is it that will kill you if you drink it?"

The female officer yelled, "I'm rude! How can I drink the tea from the queen!"

Shen Wen turned to look at the female officer and argued: "There are also deaths in the palace. Concubine Chen died a while ago?" There was another air-conditioning sound behind, and the fifth princess couldn't help but choke.

The female officer didn't know how to respond to this kind of secret exchange of logic, and she could only shout again in a hurry: "Did you say that the queen poisoned Concubine Chen to death?"

Shen Wen shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, did I say it?"

The female officer then realized that she had been fooled, and her face turned pale with anger. The queen was also angry and said with a cold face: "My palace gave you tea, and you pushed it like this. Didn't Zhenbeihou teach you to abide by the king's law?"

This is serious. Shen Wen blinked and said crisply: "Why don't you teach me? My father always said that the emperor is Mingjun. Then the queen and the grandmother must be a good grandmother who loves the people like a child. I'm just afraid that someone will use the queen and the grandmother. The hand hurts people, put dirty things in the tea, and then let the queen's grandmother carry the scapegoat. The queen's grandmother is sure that you gave me this tea. Has no one else touched it?"

The queen grinned: "Don't worry, this is what I gave you. No one else has touched it. Drink it soon!" The inside will not kill you, but it is enough to damage your internal organs and you will not be able to give birth to a child. Come!

Shen Wen smiled in relief, raised his glass to his mouth, and looked at it as if he took a sip, but it seemed that he didn't drink a sip, and only touched his chin with the edge of the cup.

Shen Wen took the cup from his mouth, with a puzzled expression on his face, and said, "Why do I think this tea is bitter and sweet, it tastes bad, grandma queen, this tea is really fine"

The queen gritted her teeth and said: "Drink it! My palace gave tea, you actually did it again and again..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Wen suddenly bent over, covered his belly, stood up again, with one hand, poured a cup of tea on the silver collar on his chest, then bent down and sat on the ground, yelling: "My stomach It hurts!" Then he lay down, rolled back and forth a few times, kicked with two short legs, spit out a lot of spit in his mouth, rolled his eyes and stopped moving!

Shen Xiang was shocked, squatting down to look at Shen Wen, and suddenly noticed that the silver collar on Shen Wen's chest had changed color, and shouted, "There is poison in the tea!"

The old lady also hurried to Shen Wen's side, took a look, looked up at the queen in grief, and said loudly: "Zhenbeihou is worthy of Yujun, why the queen poisoned the young girl of our mansion!"

The queen sternly said: "Gu's words are cautious! How did my palace poison her!"

The old lady said: "The queen just kept saying that this tea was given by the queen, without the hands of others, why is my granddaughter in a coma, the silver collar turned black, and the tea is clearly poisonous!"

The queen was speechless, and the female officer next to her said: "Hurry up and get a doctor!"

Shen Xiang kept shouting: "Sister, sister! You wake up!..."

The old lady also cried: "My poor granddaughter! I think my Shen family never spared their lives for the court. Three generations of Lord Hou died on the battlefield! But now, an eight-year-old girl has been murdered..."

The scene is in chaos! At the big banquet after the pro-mulberry ceremony, the queen poisoned the eight-year-old girl in Beihou Mansion in public. What would it mean if it spread to Beihou, the heavily armed Zhenbeihou in northern Xinjiang?

It turned out that some people thought Shen Wen was bold, but now everyone thinks the queen is too bold! For the sake of a few words and children's quarrels, I took this violent hand, and even ignored the stability of the country and the harmony of civil, ministers and military commanders!

Reminiscent of the death of Concubine Chen that the girl just talked about, it was probably the queen's hand.

I really don't know if the queen wants to kill herself or vent her anger...

When the news reached the front hall, the emperor who was hosting a banquet for civil and military officials was stunned: Why did the queen do such a stupid thing! Ask her to find someone to come over and give a lesson, how could she be poisoned to death in public! The emperor frowned and motioned for the prince to look at the harem, and he was upset on the stage to deal with the rest of the banquet.

The queen was very sure that Shen Wen was pretending to be dead! How much did she drink! Maybe I didn't drink it at all! That's a shame! She waited for the imperial doctor with a cold face to see how long you can pretend!

The prince hurried over, and the queen asked the prince to be by his side, and the prince asked in a low voice: "Mother, what's the matter?"

The queen said disdainfully: "She pretended to be dead!"

The old lady heard this and raised her head angrily: "What does the queen mean? The tea is clearly poisonous. The queen doesn't immediately pursue the poisoner, but says that my grandson's dress is dead. What is it for me?"

The queen was speechless, and the prince said slowly: "Don't worry about the old lady, let the doctor read it before you speak."

Outsiders said that the imperial doctor had arrived, and the prince motioned to the imperial doctor to see. The imperial doctor squeezed to Shen Wen's side, picked up his wrist and came to the number one, blurted out: "No pulse!"

The queen was anxious: "How come! Get a knife and stabb her a few times..."

Everyone was in an uproar! When a person is dead, the queen will not let go of the corpse!

The old lady wailed and said, "How can you be so vicious with your heart! Killing her is not enough, but... how can I explain to my son! Let me die here too!" She was about to hit the pillar!

It's worth it! The queen poisoned the young girl of Zhenbeihou, and his mother Gu would die here again. Zhenbeihou would have to oppose it! Many people rushed over, clinging to the old lady, not letting her move.

Shen Xiang cried loudly.

The prince winked at the doctor and said, "You must be alive! Don't talk nonsense!"

The imperial doctor hurriedly signaled the pulse again, and repeatedly said: "Not dead yet! Not dead yet!"

Shen Xiang shouted: "Then save my sister! She is poisoned!"

The prince stared at the doctor again, and asked gloomily, "Where is the poison!"

The imperial doctor bowed his head, pulsed again, and then trembled and said, "Yes...it's frightened and breathless...should...should...immediately..."

The prince said, "Send her back to the house to recuperate immediately!"

The doctor hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes, I have to go back to the mansion to recuperate, just recuperate..."

The prince said loudly: "Go and tell the emperor that the young girls of Zhenbeihou are just afraid of the queen's majesty, fainted in terror, not death. Send them out of the palace now!"

The **** and the palace maid, with all hands and feet, helped the weeping old lady onto a chair and ran out of the palace. Then Shen Xiang, who was holding Shen Wen firmly in his arms, was also pulled away, and then pressed onto another chair, and ran after the old lady's one. Then he hugged Shen Wen onto a board and chased after him. As the three of them entered the palace, the maid waiting outside saw this, and hurriedly trot to follow... a group of people ran away as if they were fleeing.

Another person, fearing that everyone would not know the situation, shouted all the way, "The young girl of Zhenbeihou is not dead, but she was shocked and has returned to the house..." and went to the front hall to report.

This series of behaviors were unfolded before the eyes of many maidens and young ladies in the capital. Some people were amazed, some were dumbfounded, some people covered their mouths to avoid making a sound, and some people looked at their noses and mouths, pretending that nothing happened... But everyone's heart was bright, and they all wanted to go home quickly and make this happen. Tell her husband, son, brother, sister, aunt, girlfriend...

The queen was trembling with anger, and the prince whispered: "The child has to go to the father to report the matter here, so he will leave first." The queen nodded. After the prince retired, the queen worked hard, pretending to be okay, and said: "Let's have a banquet!"

Everyone agreed, and the palace clerk who had stopped before began serving dishes and soup again. But there were very few people eating, and most of the food was left on the table intact.

The concubine behind the queen let out a suppressed smile, everyone knew that the queen was going to be in trouble this time.

The queen herself had no appetite at all, sitting on needles and felt waiting for the banquet to pass quickly. How stylish she was before, how embarrassing she is now.

She regretted putting the treatment of Shen Wen before the banquet. I didn't even think of what would go wrong. If you are a little more cautious, you should put this matter after the banquet. If you fail, you will immediately dismiss the people, and you can cover up one or two. Unlike now, you have to pretend to eat before hundreds of people...

Shen Wen entered the realm of tortoise breath deeper and deeper, and she even felt her soul leave her body, looking down at the old lady and Shen Xiang who surrounded her, as well as the imperial doctors and female eunuchs.

A slightly white filament stretched out from the chest of her body lying on the ground, fettering her soul and preventing her from walking far. But she still saw a lady in palace costume standing next to the five princesses who were quietly wiping tears. Is that Chen Guifei? Chen Guifei raised her head, as if she saw Shen Wen, her shadow moved, floating to a distant **** By his side, he took his arm and smiled at Shen Wen.

Shen Wen looked at the expressionless eunuch, it was Father Gu. Still in doubt, he was dragged and ran out of the palace, only to beckon Concubine Chen from a distance. She knew that the souls left behind were all because of concerns in her heart. It's understandable for Concubine Chen to stand next to the fifth princess, but why did you get close to Father Gu to tell yourself that Father Gu is someone you can trust?

The **** went to find the carriage of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion early, and pushed the old lady and Shen Xiang who had been carried out of the palace gate into the car, then lifted Shen Wen down, half-throwing and half-throwing it to the car. Shen Xiang.

Su Wanniang burst into the carriage crying and shouted: "Miss, miss!"

The old lady cried: "I'm not alive!"

Su Wanniang hurriedly hugged the old lady and said, "Old lady, please go back to the house and invite Shi Langzhong and Duan Langzhong! If the lady is not dead, there is still help!"

After listening, the old lady hurriedly took Shen Wen's hand, although there was no pulse, it was still soft. Hurriedly said to the outside of the car: "Go and call Shi Langzhong and Duan Langzhong, go! Go to the Hou Mansion!"

The people outside responded.

Su Wanniang said again: "Madam is pregnant, so you can't be frightened!"

The old lady calmed down, wiped her tears and said, "Good boy, thanks to you for reminding me!" She said to the outside of the car: "Tell me, you are not allowed to tell Madam about this! Whoever dares to say it, just go out of the house!" "

Su Wanniang was relieved after hearing these words. On the side he pulled Shen Wen's hand and wiped his tears silently, and he secretly scolded Shen Wen for being cruel, making the old lady and Shen Xiang almost crying to death. This was the first time she saw Shen Wen dare to be so scary.

When the group returned to the Hou Mansion, the old lady did not let anyone speak out, but only asked Shen Wen to be carried to the hall, and only called Shen Yi to come over, and no one else was allowed to speak.

Shen Yi arrived in the hall and saw Shen Xiang, who was usually a boy, unable to cry. He listened to the old lady telling the story with tears and snot. Su Wanniang hurriedly stopped and said, "Lord, wait a minute, wait. Let's talk about the doctors when they come! In case the lady is saved, it's easy to talk about the next thing."

The old lady also nodded and said, "Still wait, but if there is a glimmer of hope, you can't tear your face."

When the psychiatrists arrived, Shi Helin and Duan Zeng hurried in. Shi Helin went up to the No. 1 pulse, with doubts on his face. Mingming pulse is too weak to be touched, but there is no lifelessness on his face.

Just as Duan Zeng was about to go up, Su Wanniang pulled him aside, and Duan Zeng turned her face. Su Wanniang said eagerly: "This young man knows acupuncture and moxibustion, and he will definitely save my young lady!

Duan Zengxin realized something, went up to number the lower vein, closed his eyes for a while, took out his needle bag from the suitcase at hand, took out a long needle after unfolding, and selected the part on the heart vein. I got a needle in my palm...

After a few stitches, Shen Wen's heartbeat slowly increased, and gradually, his breathing recovered. The old lady exclaimed: "What a genius doctor!"

Shi Helin also nodded, patted the shoulder of Duan Zeng and said, "Apprentice, you are really amazing!"

Duan Zeng blushed a little, and murmured: "She...not dead...just...went on her back..."

The old lady let out a long sigh, and said: "It looks really scared! What symptoms will be left behind?"

Duan Zeng, who has always been fluent in articulate, said with a rare jam: "Should... sleep for a while, take care of it, and... well... get better..."

The old lady almost collapsed and leaned back in her chair and said, "That's it!"

Shen Xiang wiped away his tears and said, "My sister is lucky! The tea is poisonous. Look, the collar on my sister's chest has changed color!"

The old lady clutched her chest and said: "It can't be said that it is poisonous, just say that your sister is terrified and frightened. Just follow the instructions of the palace doctors!"

Shen Yi didn't speak, and the old lady shook her head slowly to him and said: "I know you are not angry, but you can't be angry. That's the queen, the royal! And, your mother doesn't know this, so don't take it. Write to your father about the matter." He sighed, "I'm so old..."

Su Wanniang said to Shi Helin: "Please take a look at the old lady, the old lady was shocked."

Shi Helin hurriedly stepped forward and gave the old lady a pulse and said: "Where is the old lady with strong heart and energy, she should live to a hundred..."

The old lady said with tears: "Why is it annoying to live so long!"

Su Wanniang felt very sorry, and hurriedly persuaded her: "The young lady is okay, the old lady should not be so sad. If something happens to you, it won't make the lady feel comfortable when she wakes up."

The old lady nodded and said, "It's still your child who has a strong opinion. In the future, your young lady will really depend on you." Su Wanniang bowed her head shamefully.

The old lady said: "Thank you very much for the hundred taels of silver, you are waiting here, Wen'er wakes up, you see again, I have to rest for a while." She couldn't hold it anymore, and let the women help. Rested behind.

Duan Zeng hurriedly said: "No...you don't need that much money. Actually, I didn't do anything..."

Su Wanniang said hurriedly: "You are a genius doctor and saved our young lady's life. Naturally, we should thank you again."

Shen Yi said to Shen Xiang, "You come outside with me, and talk about it." He turned around and said to Su Wanniang, "Take care of the second lady."

Su Wanniang responded and asked someone to carry Shen Wen to the side and cover the quilt. People added refreshments to Shi Helin and Duan, and whispered what happened in the palace. Shi Helin and Duan Zeng suddenly realized that they were in a game with Qin Quan, dragging time to rule the four princes, and now something like this has happened, and they are in the game again.

Duan Zeng couldn't help but whispered: "We don't need to practice medicine anymore, we can do the'Fairy Jump' directly, and we will get more money!"

Shi Helin frowned and whispered: "You can't show any wind, this is going to get your head off!"

Su Wanniang also took a warning: "Just saying that I saved the young lady, she became a little stupid."

In this way, don't even think about what "nengwen" is! It's good to be able to talk in the future, don't let the lady write anything.

It was dark, and Shen Wen finally "woke up leisurely", and the old lady, Shen Xiang and Shen Wen who had to report back cried out in their arms. Everyone found that Shen Wen was a bit slow to stammer. Shi Helin said that this was a problem left after being frightened. He would rarely see anyone in the future and was well raised in the house. After leaving behind a long list of prescriptions, I took the money and apprentices thanked by the Hou Mansion and left.

Su Wanniang asked people to lift Shen Wen back to the yard, and then said that Xia Zi hadn't taken good care of the young lady, and sent Xia Zi back to the sewing room, guarding Shen Wen without leaving.

In the middle of the night, Su Wanniang asked Shen Wen in a low voice in fear: "What can I do if the cup of tea is not poisonous?"

Shen Wen also whispered: "Even if it is not poisonous, I will fall on the ground and pretend to be dead. Even if the royal doctor said that I was scared to death, it has nothing to do with tea, but everyone watched me pour the tea given by the queen. From the earth, I will only suspect that the queen can't detect it after using it."

Su Wanniang exclaimed, "The queen put poison in the tea. It's really a good thing."

Shen Wen said a little excitedly: "You don't know, I smelled the smell of tea, that's a joy! It's almost the same as someone handing a pillow to sleep."

Su Wanniang asked again: "How do you know the queen will use it"

Shen Wen replied: "Do you remember that the fourth prince said how his mother died? The expression of the third prince? Chen Guifei was obviously poisoned to death. Duan Zeng said it was the simplest poison. The queen used it smoothly. I will probably continue to use it, and the royal doctor will not point it out anyway. Let me drink the tea. As long as I don't die in the palace and come back to the house to get sick, she will not admit it."

Su Wanniang gritted her teeth and said: "She's so cruel! No wonder you told me to tell the eldest to wear silver jewellery, and you must not take the initiative to wear silver jewellery. But if you don't wear a silver collar according to Xia Zi's suggestion, how can you let it be after pouring tea? Missy is testing poison"

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Why would I pour tea in that way, I must put the cup on the ground when I fell to the ground, leaving some tea inside."

Su Wanniang pushed Shen Wen: "You little Jingdou, you are so fine!"

Shen Wen laughed and said in a low voice: "As long as she lets me go forward, there will be no good fruit for her. No matter how she can't get off the stage."

Su Wanniang also smiled and said: "She deserves it!" She sighed again: "It's just that the old lady and the eldest lady have suffered, and they scared them to death!"

Shen Wen also sighed: "I also feel sorry for them, but otherwise, if the consequences are not worse, let the queen poison me and poison me half to death."

Su Wanniang said hurriedly: "Of course not! Fortunately, the lady didn't know, she was not disturbed. Now you are well, the old lady will ease up soon..."

Shen Wen suddenly grabbed Su Wanniang's hand and pinched it, raised a few voices, and said in a crying voice: "Sister Wanniang, you don't know how terrible it was at that time. The empress empress looked like she was about to eat me... "

Su Wanniang hurriedly reassured her: "You are just timid. Actually, the empress may not really want to harm you."

Shen Wen said with a questioning tone: "I also feel weird! Did I say something wrong? The Fourth Princess stared at me fiercely during the banquet. I don't remember that I spoke to her there! Is the queen looking at me like a monster because the fourth princess is angry with me?"

Su Wanniang held back her laugh, and said hurriedly: "You can't say that the empress is a monster!"

Shen Wen whispered: "You didn't see it. At that time, the queen's teeth became so long and long, white, her nostrils became bigger, and her eyes were green..."

The footsteps are far away outside.

Shen Wencai whispered: "You must go and tell Shen Xiang to persuade the eldest brother, not to let him go out to trouble the prince!"

Su Wanniang nodded and said: "Today the eldest son asked the eldest about the passage carefully, and then went out with the second son. I heard that I was going to race."

Shen Wen sighed: "Actually, he can't do much. The prince's seat is there. The eldest brother is upright and has no conspiracy. The second brother is only sixteen years old this year. What he can do is to kill someone. Yes, don't let them take this risk."

Su Wanniang nodded and said: "I'm definitely going to persuade them. Instead of doing that, it's better to spread some unfavorable remarks against the prince and the queen outside, and win the hearts of the Hou Mansion."

Shen Wen hugged Su Wanniang's arm and said, "You are really my good sister!"

Su Wanniang now knows Shen Wen's temperament a little bit, and she can say anything good on her lips, but the things she can do are directed at people's hearts, without relenting, she said in an angry manner: "If you dare to scare me so much in the future, I am I will pinch you hard!"

Shen Wen said hurriedly: "No, no, nothing will be hidden from you!"...just can't tell you who I am.

Chapter 30: Healed (catch insects)

Li brought Zhang Yunjin back to Pingyuan Hou Mansion in a frightened state. After entering the gate, he immediately asked the pale-faced daughter to go back and have a good rest. The next person said that the little son was still waiting for his wife to come back and did not want to go to sleep. Li hurriedly went to the courtyard of his younger son.

Li's youngest son is ten years younger than his eldest son. He is only five years old this year. He is thin and pitiful. Li met his younger son, put aside all the things in the palace, and went over to pick up his younger son Zhang Yunzhao with a smile.

It was late, when it was time to go to bed, Zhang Yunzhao had a sad expression on his face, and said with some crying, "Mother, where have you been?"

Li hurriedly comforted: "I haven't gone anywhere, isn't this coming back? Sleep well." He coaxed the youngest son to the bed, sat beside him and took his hand. When he saw him fall asleep, he quietly got up and left.

Back in her bedroom, Li changed clothes and passed on the meal. She hadn't eaten anything, but when the meal came, she lost her appetite when she sat at the table. At this time Ping Yuan Hou came in.

Ping Yuan Hou is less than 40 years old. Compared with Zhenbei Hou's weather-beaten face, Ping Yuan Hou's face has been refined over the years, without wrinkles, and is shiny and smooth. The eyebrows of the two lying silkworms are still dark, and their eyes are bright.

He spins a pair of jade **** in one hand all the year round, from left to right, for a moment.

Seeing him, Li hurriedly got up and said, "Master Hou, please sit down quickly."

Ping Yuan Hou smiled and sat next to Li: "After so many years, Madam is still so polite."

Li smiled: "Master Hou, I'm used to it."

Before Ping Yuan Hou came in, he had heard what happened in the palace from others, and asked: "Madam is frightened."

Li sighed, and whispered: "I was terrified at the time, husband, what does the queen mean, how can I poison the little daughter of Zhenbeihou in front of so many people?"

Ping Yuan Hou snorted coldly: "Xu is the queen who thought she was poisoned and killed her, Shen Hou didn't dare to do anything!"

Li sighed again: "The young girl of Zhenbeihou did not hide her words, making the queen unable to hold her face."

Ping Yuan Hou gave a cry and asked: "What did she say?" People only reported the process and results of the incident, and there was no detailed dialogue.

Li said the words of Shen Wen and the Queen in a low voice. Pingyuan Hou Hehe laughed, but after smiling, his face sank again, his eyebrows contemplated, and the jade ball in his hand rattled.

Li asked: "My husband, does it matter?"

Of course, from the perspective of Ping Yuanhou, the young girl seemed to know that the queen was going to attack her, her words were unruly, leading the queen to act in public, so that everyone could see clearly. It's just that, hasn't his own life been lost? Ping Yuanhou was puzzled. He didn't think clearly about things, and didn't want to talk to others, so he said to Li, "Let's take a look tomorrow, and we will know it will be clear. Madam, don't think about it. You don't eat well in the palace.

Li smiled and said to Ping Yuanhou, "Thank you, Master Hou, I just didn't have any appetite when I looked at these things, so I just wanted to eat after talking to Master Hou."

Ping Yuan Hou smiled and said: "Madam is saying that being a husband is your appetizer, hehe, madam, let's eat first."

Li's face blushed: "Master Hou is... please eat with your concubine..."

The two had a supper together, and then...

The next day, there was news from Zhenbei Houfu. Just as the imperial doctor in the palace said, the second lady was indeed terrified and was rescued by Shi Helin and his apprentice Duan Zeng. But after the person came alive, he was scared and stupefied. It would be good to be able to speak, and don't mention anything like "nengwen" in the future.

Ping Yuanhou listened, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This girl is so fateful"

The people in the capital heard this and they talked about the overall situation of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Once the people were saved, they would no longer hold on to the queen and let the queen go down a step by the prince's words. Zhenbei Houfu didn't even pursue his own young daughter who was so blatantly poisoned and mutilated by the queen. He obviously put the emperor first, and he was really a loyal minister. But the queen who did this seems too that...

Someone also brought up the incident that the eldest prince started to rectify the young girl in Beihou Mansion, saying that this time the queen had so boldly poisoned the girl, obviously for the prince's revenge. A mother and a child can't live with an eight-year-old child, how cruel it is...

For a time, public opinion was completely biased towards Zhenbeihoufu.

Some courtiers came to the table, saying that the harem was not well cooked, which hindered the stability of the court. Although he didn't directly point to the queen for poisoning, he also pointed out the badness of the harem.

The queen in the palace was so angry that she smashed a room of porcelain, as she said yesterday, Shen Wen was all right! She just pretended! She should be killed on the spot, to see if she dared to lie down on the ground!

The palace people saw that the queen was so angry, and he didn't dare to tell her that her hair had fallen a lot, just thinking about how to change errands as soon as possible before the queen found out.

The emperor was very upset about the queen's mistakes, and raised Yao Cairen, who had previously been favored, to three levels in a row. He made a direct decision without passing through the queen. Then a concubine was mentioned to assist the queen in managing the harem. It stands to reason that these matters should be determined by the Queen, and the emperor's doing this is like a slap in the face of the Queen, making the Queen very embarrassed.

The prince thinks something is wrong!

How could Shen Wen speak such nonsense. Who dared to so offend the queen who did so, if it was intentional, it was either extremely stupid or extremely bold!

Although her logic makes sense as an eight-year-old girl, if it is intentional, then the girl's scheming is too deep! But when the prince thought of Shen Wen's appearance, emotionally, he couldn't accept the courage of the girl whose face was flushed and annoying him! At this time, I can see how important Shen Wen's first impression left him-he despised her from his heart!

The prince believes that if Shen Wen is not stupid enough to be at home, he runs his tongue in his mouth and does not know what he is talking about, it is Shen Wen who has been instructed!

The prince conducted a series of investigations.

The people from the Hou Mansion said that it was the girl they sent that made Shen Wen bring silver jewelry, not Shen Wen's choice. Shen Wen was frightened and confused afterwards, and his mind was a little unclear, thinking of the queen as a monster.

The eyeliner in Zhenbeihou's mansion also sent a message: The old lady did not tell Yang about this, nor did she tell Zhenbeihou. It can be seen that what Shen Wen said was not the attitude of Zhenbeihou's mansion. Those people in Zhenbeihou's Mansion had all been investigated carefully. No one seemed to be able to instruct Shen Wen to say those things, and there was no sign that they knew in advance what Shen Wen would say. As for the others, the owner of the Zhenbeihou Mansion had a few people staring at him. The whole mansion could check the details, and there was no invisible person at all.

If no one in Zhenbeihou's Mansion could teach Shen Wen to say those things, Shen Wen would definitely make his own claim. Could it be that Zhenbeihou Mansion has been Zhongliang for generations, but there is an alien who disrespects the royal family! But if Shen Wen is his own idea, then what does Shen Wen want to do! If the old lady or Yang played such a hand, let alone the prince, the emperor would be alert. But an eight-year-old girl knows how many things she got after she deliberately offended the queen! Even if he did not die at that time, he would not end well in the future!

The prince doubted: Was Shen Wen really dead at the time?

He found the imperial doctor and asked carefully. The imperial doctor said that the girl did not have a pulse at the time! The queen's tea is also really poisonous. The doctor's conclusion was that the girl was very sensitive to medicine, and she could feel it only a little bit, and she was scared to death when she knew that the queen had been poisoned.

The prince was still worried, and sent an imperial doctor to ask for advice in the name of Shi Helin's rescue process in the Hou Mansion. Shi Helin also said that he had no pulse at the time. It was his apprentice Duan Zeng's death horse as a living horse doctor who put needles on acupuncture points on the heart pulse and rescued the person. He even explained the acupuncture points well, and the doctor said that it did have the effect of activating the heart pulse.

The prince felt that the imperial doctor in the palace was useless. He didn't expect this. He didn't know this. It was because the imperial doctor gave the needle at the time, and Shen Wen didn't want to wake up, or would not "live".

Could it be that Shen Wen used the fake death pill, but where is the fake death pill so easy to find! This kind of thing will never be sold in pharmacies marked as "fake death medicine". There must be some stranger who has it, or a secret that has not been passed down from generation to generation. There are no secrets in the Hou Mansion. Shen Wen doesn't even go out of the mansion. Where can I find medicine...

After going around, the final conclusion is that Shen Wen really died at that time.

Did Shen Wen deliberately seek death? Does she want the queen to kill herself in public! She is only eight years old. Which eight-year-old kid used his life to make a joke like this is also in conflict with many speculations about her scheming - there is a really smart person who will kill himself.

After thinking about it, the prince felt that if Shen Wen was wise and was mentioned to the table by the queen, he would have forgotten his identity. More or less reasonable...

This matter was so bad that it was either designed by Shen Wen or the queen was careless. The prince was more inclined to believe that it was the empress who was proud of the recent spring breeze. The queen chose the wrong environment, she shouldn't choose to preach to that girl in front of so many people, any mistake will make the queen publicly embarrassed. If you choose an occasion where no one is watching, there won't be these minorities at all.

He didn't know that even if the queen chose a place where no one was left, Shen Wen would still "die", and the queen would still be charged with poisoning people.

The prince was very angry: that girl is stupid, stupid, reckless and rascal, so why can't she hold her? Even if the girl said unintentionally, the words "the prince is the biggest", "grandma queen", and insinuation of the queen's poisoning are too sinister. Such a person, even an eight-year-old child, can't be kept, so we must find a chance to save her!

As soon as it was decided to kill Shen Wen, all the prince's doubts were solved: whether you are unintentional, intentional or unintentional, stupid or clever, you will die! No trick is worthy of exposure in the face of death.

The prince asked Shen Wen to watch Shen Wen carefully, to see who she had close contact with, and to report all her whereabouts one by one.

Shen Wen naturally knew that he was making a big trouble this time, and he repeatedly attacked the prince and the queen. According to the prince's narrow mind, he should get rid of himself. She had no fear at this time-as long as Zhenbeihou still held the military power, the emperor would not be able to destroy the door. The prince wanted to do it, but he didn't dare to come clearly. It must be privately or by some means. Shen Wen possessed thousands of years of wandering and consciousness, and the prince would not be satisfied visually.

In these two confrontations with the prince and the queen, she really did not pretend to be stupid, but to achieve her goal: to separate the prince and the emperor and let the queen miss in front of everyone. She needs to pave the way for the public opinion of Zhenbeihou Mansion, because one day people will have to choose whether to believe in Zhenbeihou, or to believe in the prince, or even the emperor!

As for whether the prince would doubt that she was extremely intelligent, Shen Wen was not worried. Because just as the eight-year-old Shen Wen could not persuade his family to believe that he was far-sighted and able to control his destiny, the prince would not believe that an eight-year-old child could have any foresight.

She struck her with a single blow and immediately died down, and after waking up she played stupidly in the yard. I usually cat in the house during the day, read a book, and meditate for a long time in the tent. In the evening, I left the yard and walked back and forth. By the way, I would see who would come to visit the Hou Mansion. She was dragging the time, letting the other party calm down, forgetting her sharpness, so as to despise herself again.

She was so honest here that she made a fuss about the prince first, and then really slowly let go of her vigilance. Because if a person is smart, he will inevitably have to point fingers and show his nature in ordinary life. But Shen Wen was doing nothing day after day. There was no flash of light in piano, chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and there was really no sense of mind. How did he know that Shen Wen was a person who liked being quiet and not moving, and after a thousand years of loneliness, it was really easy for her to keep a low profile and bide her time. Moreover, the prince has already decided to kill her, so he won't waste his thoughts on her temperament, and just look for opportunities in the future to act, and he is starting to worry about other things now.

Since the death of his mother, the three princes have been depressed, practicing boxing and swordsmanship in the palace all day, and no one likes to talk to them. Suddenly, I heard that the queen had poisoned the young girl of Zhenbeihou in public, and thought that the queen was the queen who had dealt with her mother, so she was naturally angry.

He recently heard some rumors, saying that the emperor angered Concubine Chen Gui and evacuated Duke Gu because of his contacts with Zhenbeihoufu. Knowing that the emperor did not like contact with the Zhenbeihoufu, the third prince could not cause trouble to others. At this sensitive moment, he only sent a post to Shen Yi to express his condolences.

To his surprise, Shen Yi not only thanked him for his greetings, but also invited him out of the city to ride a horse. As always, he did not evade him at all.

The three princes felt that Shen Yi was righteous. Although he knew that doing so would make his father unhappy, he was holding a fire in his heart. He had to fight against the emperor to diverge a little, so he made an appointment with Shen Yi and went out of the city to ride a horse.

When this one started, the third prince and the Shen family siblings always went out together. Shen Xiang is the youngest and always lags behind when riding horses. The third prince sometimes turned his head unconsciously to see if the red figure could keep up.

It was late spring and early summer, among the trees and green bushes, a group of young men and women urged their horses to gallop to their heart's content. Sweating profusely, the third prince felt that he was slowly freed from the gloom of his mother's death.

The prince knew that the three princes were so openly fighting with the children of Zhenbeihou and were even closer than before, and he couldn't bear the anger in his heart. The princes of Zhenbeihou will become commanders in a few years. Shen Yi will inevitably attack the nobility in the future and become a new generation of Zhenbeihou who leads two hundred thousand Shen's army! The three princes have friendship with these people, what does it represent! Even Chen Guifei's death did not teach the third prince a lesson, it seems that there must be more powerful methods.

Shen Wen knew that Shen Yi was deliberate. The queen poisoned herself in public, angering Shen Yi. The old lady stopped telling Zhenbeihou. Zhenbeihou didn't know the details, so naturally there was no instruction. This caused Shen Yi to make his own claim and get closer with the three princes.

Although Shen Wen knew that Shen Yi's juvenile disposition actually put Zhenbeihou Mansion in a more dangerous situation, but with her in this life, things would be different. She even admired Shen Yi's resistance, which showed that Shen Yi could not accept the Queen's poisoning of his sister in public, unlike the old lady and father, who would just tolerate it. Only with this kind of dissatisfaction can we understand her thoughts. Shen Wen decided that Shen Yi would be her first relative to inform the future.

After hearing about what happened in the palace, the fourth prince laughed secretly for a long time at night.

He is absolutely certain that this is also a move. The game was fictitious and true, and the queen wanted to insult Shen Wen in public, taking the opportunity to act, making Shen Wen "absolute" on the spot. This is not a simple quarrel at all, but to show everyone the queen's vicious intentions and unscrupulous behavior. He even guessed that whether there is poison in that cup of tea, Shen Wen would fall to the ground. He didn't know that Shen Wen could keep his breath, but guessed that Shen Wen might have taken the medicine in advance. He believed that the chess player in the Zhenbeihou Mansion was omnipotent, and naturally there was no misunderstanding caused by the prince's contempt for the opponent.

In full view, the emperor or the prince, in order to prevent Shen Wen from actually dying in the palace, must send Shen Wen out of the palace immediately, and Shen Wen retired all over his body without any harm. After leaving the palace, he was naturally "revived" by the "genius doctor". Then he borrowed the judgment of the imperial doctor in the palace and escaped the crime of deceiving the emperor of suspended animation. But the queen couldn't argue with her words, and she was suspected of poisoning the young daughter of the pillar of the country...

For the queen, the four princes have no good feelings at all. He saw that this move was for the queen's good-looking, and he only felt happy in his heart.

Unlike the prince, he is keenly aware of the purpose of this chess player-he is still weakening the prince's wings! On the surface, this move was aimed at the queen, but in reality, it alluded to the prince. If something happens to the queen, the prince will lose the support of the palace.

After thinking about it, he felt that Su Wanniang had a very close relationship with this chess player, otherwise he could not manipulate the eight-year-old Shen Wen. He didn't believe that Shen Wen could come up with such a trick with his own wisdom. He really wanted to ask Su Wanniang who her master was. Of course, this might be just an excuse for him to want to see her. After all, lying alone all night, one would always miss someone in his heart.

This incident made the queen feel ashamed and didn't have time to take care of the four princes. A month later, the fourth prince suddenly said that he didn't want to take Qin Quan's medicine. No matter what Qin Quan gave, the fourth prince would not touch it! Except for Qin Quan's help every day to lift him out to bask in the sun, the four princes didn't even see Qin Quan again.

In this way, the fourth prince's body gradually got better! The imperial doctor prescribed the medicine again, and the fourth prince stopped taking it. Said that it was uncomfortable after taking the medicine, and if he died, he would die.

In May, the four princes were able to get out of bed. There is no diarrhea, the vitality is restored, and the face is no longer so haggard in the sun every day.

He didn't want to sit in Qin Quan's hospital, so he asked Ding Nei to hire a car every day and drove him to Guanyi Pavilion. Originally, the four princes were most afraid of people watching him walk, but now the crowd was limping, helping Ding Neishi to walk into the Guanyi Pavilion to watch people play chess.

The four princes naturally wouldn't tell others about their identity, and when they first left, they were coaxed by the official Bao to play a few games of chess. Later, many chess players played chess with the four princes.

The third son of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Shen Zhuo and Zhang Yunming, the eldest son of Yuan Hou Mansion, has become a frequent visitor of Guanyi Pavilion since he watched Ji Wenzhao's solution in Guanyi Pavilion. Two people often meet in Guanyi Pavilion.

After going up to the mountain, the two finally met the tiger, and the two finally met the fourth prince.

That day, Shen Zhuo entered the door and saw the four princes sitting in the corner watching others play chess, and naturally pretended not to know him. After he accompanied the third prince to Su Wan's family and met the fourth prince, he never contacted him formally, although he helped to throw the jade pendant of the fourth prince on the corner of the street. The fourth prince glanced at his eyes, and he didn't look at this side any more. Not long after, Zhang Yunming came in with a fan.

Zhang Yunming is sixteen years old this year, and he considers himself a mature young man. Not to mention arty, he often shook his head and chanted poems and odes. Although he was regarded as imitation by those serious scholars, he himself felt very superior.

He saw Shen Zhuo and said with a smile: "San Gongzi, it's okay these days."

Shen Zhuo half raised his head proudly: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I've been doing well these days, especially since I beat you by one and a half last time, I feel even more happy in my heart."

Zhang Yunming sighed slightly: "Young people are easy to be satisfied. They don't like things or sorrow for themselves. The third son still needs time!"

Shen Zhuo smirked: "I really don't feel sorry for myself, but I'm sorry for Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang has been swaggering around recently, and his chess skills have dropped significantly!"

Zhang Yunming unfolded the fan, with one hand behind, slapped it, and put on a self-confessed free and easy gesture, and said: "Last time I wanted to make San Gongzi happy for a while, San Gongzi ignored my kindness! "

Shen Zhuo gritted his teeth and his eyes flickered: "If you don't believe that your chess skills have declined, don't talk to me. Just choose someone around my age to defeat you."

Zhang Yunming laughed and looked around, naturally he saw the four princes.

Although the fourth prince was a thirteen-year-old boy who was about the same age as Shen Zhuo, perhaps after a serious illness, he broke through the turmoil in the dust and sat there with a calm face and clear eyes, with a gentle and generous attitude.

Zhang Yunming liked it immediately when he saw it, and approached him and said: "Will this young man be willing to play the next game with your surname?"

The four princes brought some young people in embarrassment and replied: "My surname is Jiang, and I can be accompanied by my son."

Zhang Yunming sat at the chess table of the four princes, and the two of them played chess. Although Zhang Yunming was older, the four princes had more time to study the chess book when they were alone in the deep palace. During this time, they lay down and did nothing else, just repeating Ji Wenzhao's chess game in his mind over and over again, and his chess skills were already excellent. . After one round, he even won the five sons of Zhang Yunming.

Zhang Yunming looked at the four princes in disbelief, and said: "Although this young man is young, he has exquisite chess skills, so I admire him. Can you leave your address and let me visit you at home?"

The fourth prince smiled shyly and said, "I...inconvenience at home..."

Zhang Yunming only said that the other party might not be happy to come to the door, and did not ask more, so he said: "I will see you in the future, and I will definitely talk again." After that, he closed the fan in his hand and handed it over, smiling: "This is what I painted. If you don't give up the fishing picture, you can keep it as a souvenir."

The fourth prince answered with a smile, and said thank you: "There is nothing around me, only the next time I see the son, I will pay the gift again."

Zhang Yunming said hurriedly: "No need not, as long as the son likes it."

Shen Zhuo sneered and said: "You know that the fan faces you painted everywhere are not so good. The gifts you will return in the future will definitely be better than what you give, and you are not as shy at all."

Zhang Yunming was not angry either, and said with a smile: "The literati make friends through literature, and I intersect with this young man through chess, and the third young man still has to study hard."

After saying goodbye and leaving, from beginning to end, he did not find that the man sitting behind the four princes with his head bowed was an eunuch. The fourth prince did not get up, and naturally did not find that the fourth prince was lame.

After Shen Zhuo succeeded in causing trouble, he left with a smile.

That night, the prince got the news: the four princes played a game of chess in Guanyi Pavilion and Ping Yuanhou's eldest son. It seems that Zhang Datong did not realize that it was the fourth prince. The third prince of Zhenbeihou was also there at the time, but he did not strike up a conversation with the fourth prince.

The prince frowned and thought, but he couldn't think of why the four princes should befriend the four princes, or why the four princes should befriend the four princes. Is it really just to play chess for the sake of safety, let the four princes return to the palace as soon as possible.

The next day, the imperial physicians brought the eunuchs in the palace to Qin Quan's medical hall to pick up the four princes back to the palace.

When the various vehicles arrived in front of the hospital, Qin Quan was so excited that his face was sweating, but the fourth prince looked at him as if he was watching an enemy, only a few eyes were rolled, and the attendant Ding didn't have a good face to him.

After sending away the four princes, Qin Quan told people everywhere that he had cured the four princes, but Shi Helin missed the opportunity to joke that the four princes survived because he died, otherwise the four princes would have died in his hands.

Qin Quan was very aggrieved. He told people how difficult he was when he saw people, but when everyone saw that he had got so many good things, few people said good things about him. He said that he would cure the four princes, naturally no one would respond.

On the way back to the palace, the four princes remembered the worries he had for those people when he was planning in Su Wan's family. Now all those involved have withdrawn safely. Perhaps the prince would let people track down Shi Helin's movements when he was knocked down, but no one would have thought that the bone-sending person was Duan Zeng, who was younger than himself. The symptoms after the bone resection coincided with the sickness and weakness, and passed the imperial doctor. The most dangerous of these people was Qin Quan, who had provided him with asylum for more than three months, but he would not be held accountable by the Queen because of the name of "murdering" him as a quack. As for the others, they didn't even show their faces, and it was impossible to find out.

The four princes once again sighed in his heart for the ingenuity of the people who arranged this series of behaviors. He found that the biggest feature of the other party was that he had a strong sense of protection. Everyone involved in the game was protected, and he was obviously a benevolent person. Since the opponent had reconnected his leg and was favored by others, he had to report, even if he was in the game, he would never stay out of the way again. The other party's invisible town Beihou Mansion is definitely planning to support the three princes ascendant. The three emperors are sincere and simple in heart. He is much better than the prince. He is naturally duty-bound to help himself.

There is no fear in his heart, but a feeling of eagerness to try. A new fork in the road appeared in his life. It looked dangerous, but it was more vigorous than the road arranged by his mother before.

After entering the palace, the fourth prince was immediately called to see the queen. The fourth prince supported Ding's arm and walked to the back of the queen, looking more lame than before. The illness of more than three months made the fourth prince skinny, and after a few words, he was out of breath and leaned on Ding Naibu.

The queen looked at the disabled with disgust, said a few words in the scene of more recuperation, and let him go down. The emperor heard that the four princes had been sick for so long outside, and now that he had recovered, he had to see him too, so the four princes had to go to see the emperor again.

Perhaps it was because of a long illness and initial recovery, bumping all the way back to the palace, and when I first went to see the queen, when I saw the emperor, the four princes looked like they were fighting spirits, but they looked depressed.

With the help of Ding's attendant, he saluted the long-lost father, the emperor faintly: "The emperor feels good."

The four princes said weakly: "Thank you for your father's question. This time the child was seriously ill, which is considered a deadly escape. I want to ask my father for grace."

The emperor asked calmly: "What reward does the emperor want?"

The four princes shook his head and said: "When the child was seriously ill and fell into a coma, I dreamed of his mother several times. I deeply felt that the mother saved the child's life. I hope that the father will allow the child to go to the imperial tomb to guard the spirit for the mother for ten years, in order to repay the mother for giving birth and rebuilding. Yep."

The emperor had already heard that Qin Quan, who treated the fourth prince, was a quack. If the fourth prince hadn't stopped the medicine, he would probably not survive. Listening to him now, the doctor's name is not mentioned in the words at all, which shows that he also thinks that the person has not cured him.

After hearing the request of the four princes to guard the mausoleum, the emperor couldn't help but sneer: To wear filial piety or keep filial piety to the concubine's mother depends on how much the emperor loves the concubine, let alone guard the mausoleum for the concubine. . The prince can only guard the tomb for the first emperor. The fourth prince said this to express his dissatisfaction. He left him half-dead outside for a few months, but he didn't take him back for treatment, so he said that he wanted to leave the palace so angrily.

The emperor let go: This kind of grievance is a normal reaction. If he comes back quietly, it will make people suspect that he is willing to stay outside.

Slowing his tone, the emperor tried his best to speak kindly: "The emperor is still too young, this time he hurts his body, so let's take a good rest in the palace." After speaking, he signaled the four princes to retreat, and the four princes looked helpless. Thanks, was lifted up by the attendant Ding, and walked out lamely.

Watching him walk out of the palace gate, the emperor said to Grandpa Grandpa who was on the side: "Even though the four emperors are useless, they can be considered worry-free. Tell the prince in the future, let the four princes guard the tomb." You are not. Do you want to keep it for your mother? I'll let you keep it for the rest of your life.

Grandpa Grandpa responded, knowing that the emperor didn't like what the four princes said about guarding the tomb when the emperor was still alive, and he couldn't help but scold the four princes for being naive: the mother was dead, and now he upsets the father, and the prince will become the throne. Isn't that the only way out to guard the imperial tomb?

The prince laughed when he heard it, and completely crossed out the four princes from his heart: Originally he was a crippled man. Now the father said that he should go to guard the tomb. Is there any other way out? Chess and other things are of no importance. Now there are three princes and five princes. The fifth prince is still young and can wait a few years. The third prince is the top priority.
