At dusk, the setting sun drowned at the end of the palace building, and the glazed tiles were dyed with a thin layer of gold, which looked like broken gold from a distance.
Shen Jue personally went to Chengqian Palace with a bowl of ginseng soup. Now the Chengqian Palace has a new owner, Concubine Li Gui, who just gave birth to the Second Highness. The concubine who died in Chengqian Palace three years ago has been forgotten by people. This is how the palace is. When a person dies, it is like the lamp goes out. When the emperor favors glory, ghosts will not dare to intrude.
There are so many deep palaces, which palace has never died
Shen Jue lowered her head, stepped on the threshold, and entered the round mask. Mrs. Li sat on the throne and looked at him coldly. She was a woman with pale features, and she didn't look very grand. When she was still a talent, she wore a azure horse-faced skirt. The emperor saw her gentle and gentle, and after a night of luck, he had his second highness. Even though he used to be gentle and docile, he is now covered in assorted jewels, and he has a domineering look.
"Where's the emperor?" Mrs. Li looked at Dan Kou on her ten fingers and said coldly.
"Your Majesty's day-to-day affairs are full of opportunities, and you sleep at night, so you never have time to come and see your maiden. But majesty, don't worry, your majesty is always thinking of this maiden. No, just after discussing matters with the adults of the previous dynasty, he urged the servants to bring the ginseng soup. "Shen Jue had a decent smile on her face, half no more, no less, like the embroidery on the clothes, the carvings on the beams and pillars, it was indispensable and just right, "His Majesty also instructed the servants to watch the empress drink. You can go when you're done."
Li Shi raised his hand, and a palace maid beside him walked up to Shen Jue and held up the ginseng soup and handed it to Li Shi.
Li shi lowered his head and used a spoon to remove the oily flowers on the soup surface, and said, "The ginseng soup is there every day, but His Majesty has never come here even once! Glancing at Shen Jue, his voice suddenly sank, "It's because of you guys who killed the talent and brought Hu Meizi to your Majesty to invite pets!? The Yangzhou thin horse presented is very beautiful, and your Majesty will bring it with you when you go to the leopard room, the beauty and the beast really complement each other!"
Shen Jue lowered her eyebrows more and more, "Niangniang is joking, it's just your majesty looking for something new, a temporary gadget, how can you compare with Niangniang? Why should Niangniang care about a trick that hasn't even won a title."
"I don't care about Ben Gong, I'm afraid that in a few days, you will not pay attention to Ben Gong!" Li clenched his teeth in anger, and threw the tray and soup bowl at Shen Jue, and the person beside him was shocked. Huh, but Shen Jue stubbornly didn't move. The soup bowl didn't throw Shen Jue, it slammed to the ground, and it shattered into pieces with a crisp sound like ice breaking. But the wooden tray smashed on Shen Jue's forehead, and bright red blood dripped down the tie of the black gauze hat.
After all, Shen Jue is the supervisor of the li, and the celebrity in front of Eunuch Wei, even the emperor relied on him a lot. Who wouldn't sell him a little bit of thin noodles? Li Shi dared to put such a big face on him, and the people around him were frightened.
The smile on Shen Jue's lips did not diminish, as if the injury wasn't on his forehead, he only owed his body, and said, "The maiden's words are serious, you are the master, we are slaves, and there are no slaves in the world. The reason for taking the master in your eyes? Empress has just finished giving birth, her body is weak, she didn't hold the soup bowl firmly, and accidentally spilled it, the slave will go to the pantry to bring another bowl over."
Li Shi was still about to have a seizure, but the maid next to her quietly pulled her sleeve, and she remembered that Shen Jue was the one walking in front of the emperor. I'm afraid that the grace of giving birth to the Second Highness will be cut off.
Li brushed his sleeves, coughed, and said, "Then the wound on your face..."
"This injury was accidentally dropped by the servant, so don't worry about it."
"Well, look at it when you walk," Li Shi cleared his throat, still looking like he was invincible, "This palace is a noble concubine, and has given birth to the second highness, Eunuch Shen, you are a smart person, you should know that if you are willing to be loyal For me, your benefits will definitely be indispensable in the future."
"Niangniang is joking, the slave servants are serving in the Supervisor of Literacy, and they should share the worries of Your Majesty."
"Hmph, something I don't know!" Li Shi gave Shen Jue a sideways look, "Go down!"
When Shen Jue left, Li Shifang sat paralyzed on the throne and took a deep breath.
The palace maid next to her frowned and said, "Niangniang, what are you doing? If it wasn't for Eunuch Shen secretly reminding me that the ginseng soup was not clean, you would have been lingering on the bed every day. Where can you find this healthy body?"
"I'm not doing a show? Who would have thought that he had eaten so well in the past few days, and his strength has increased a lot, and he has been thrown into the air. You said that this person doesn't know how to hide. Can you blame me?" Mr. Li twisted the handkerchief in his hand and muttered.
"Hey, how can this be good? That old thief Weide wants to kill his mother and take his son. This ginseng soup is given away every day. They were all poured to death."
This ginseng soup has not been broken since the Li family gave birth. In the beginning, Mrs. Li was thankful and grateful, thinking that His Majesty would take pity on him, and he finally flew up to the branch and became a phoenix. But slowly, Mrs. Li felt tired and dizzy. She was either sitting or lying down all day long, and the imperial doctor couldn't see anything. It was not until the person who delivered the soup last month was Shen Jue, who dropped a handkerchief before leaving, with the words "Shen Tang poisonous" written on it, that she and the maid of honor suddenly realized that they were both startled and scared.
His Highness is lame, if a healthy child is born, no matter how young he is, he will be a strong competitor. Weide was close to His Highness, and he was the person by His Majesty's side. Everything was in his hands. It was not difficult to do things in the ginseng soup.
Li Shi is not an ambitious person, but luck falls on her head. His Majesty has two children in total, and the future emperor is either one or the other, and she has to fight if she doesn't.
Li pondered for a while, stood up, patted the table and said, "That old thief Weide must see that Ben Gong is dying of illness before giving up, so that's what he wants. Call him sick and close the palace door!"
On the other side, Shen Jue took out the embroidered handkerchief to cover his forehead when he left the Chengqian Palace. He looked down and saw that the collar had been dyed red. The little eunuch Shen Wenxing was waiting on the street. Seeing Shen Jue's appearance, he jumped a lot, and hurriedly asked, "Godfather, what's the matter with you?"
This is the godson that Shen Jue recognized in the spring of this year. Eunuchs can't have children. It's a common thing to recognize relatives. When you are alone, you recognize a godson and make a lot of fun. You call your godfather a godfather and call him a godfather. Listening to the joy, when you are old and dead, you let this godfather. End yourself.
But what Shen Jue wanted was not fun and joy, but to cultivate his own wings. Accepting Gan'er meant supporting him, and on the other hand, he naturally became Shen Jue's most loyal confidant.
Shen Wenxing is twelve years old this year. He entered the palace when he was eight years old. When he didn't enter the palace, he was a little beggar who walked around the streets. A bit like Xia Houlin. Perhaps it was for this reason that Shen Jue recognized him as his son.
"It's okay, a little hurt."
Shen Wenxing felt distressed when he saw it. His godfather-like appearance was so disfigured, "I have some muscle cream in my son's place. I'll bring it here for you to use later, so that it won't leave any scars."
Shen Jue shook her head and said no, and asked, "How's the thing that I ordered you to do?"
"There are some eyebrows, and a word came from the south. I found a local elder in Miaojiang and said that fifty years ago, a group of people in black robes and masks bought all the flowers and flower seeds, and also took some pharmacists. The pharmacist who was taken away has never been returned. This is very strange, I think these black robes are the Garan assassins, and those pharmacists are probably killed and silenced." Shen Wenxing said in a low voice, and then took out from his arms. A piece of paper was handed to Shen Jue, "This is the waving flower drawn by the old man, and my son has instructed people to find it like this. The Miaojiang River has abundant flowers, and there must be wild waving flowers."
"That's right," Shen Jue nodded. "There are two groups of people. One group will continue to search for the flowers, and the other group will find out what happened to those black-robed people. If there is any news, let me know immediately."
Shen Wenxing nodded and bowed his head, not forgetting to flatter him at the end, "Thanks to my godfather's extensive knowledge and knowledge, if you didn't find out in the local chronicles of Yungui that the poisonousness of the flowers of the twigs is similar to that of July and a half, we are still going around in circles."
Shen Jue didn't think it was fast enough. He can check it slowly, but can Xia Houlin wait? In the past few years, he has also been investigating the news of Xia Houlin, but there is no such person in the rivers and lakes. I don't know if the kid didn't make a name for himself at all, or if he was already dead.
Shen Jue squeezed the corner of his mouth and said nothing. Shen Wenxing looked at his expression. When he was not smiling, there was a cold taste in his eyes, like the white snow on the sloping plum branches in winter, and the moonlight in the misty mountains.
After parting with Shen Wenxing, Shen Jue went back to his room, changed into clean clothes, and went straight to Weide to answer.
The sky was getting dark, and the brilliant lights came on one after another, and they were connected together, as if it were daytime. Shen Jue entered the clerical room, and the eunuchs saw Shen Jue, and they all stood up to greet him, and said respectfully, "Eunuch Shen."
Shen Jue nodded slightly, as if to say hello, he turned around the floor-to-ceiling screen, behind the curtain, Weide teased the birds in the birdcage with a silver hook, and said casually, "You're back?"
"Father Wan'an."
Weide saw the wound on Shen Jue's forehead in a blink of an eye, and sneered, "It's not good. The ginseng soup that was given ten times has been beaten nine times, and he is so coquettish, even with the Second Highness by his side, it can't last forever. Not bad."
Weide put the silver hook in Shen Jue's hand, Shen Jue took it respectfully, and walked slowly behind Weide.
Wei De raised his robe and sat on the throne on the floor screen, twirling the Bodhi seed that was played with smooth and translucent on his wrist, and said meaningfully: "The woman's family, with honor and son, thinks that everything is there. The reason is such a reason. , but it's not the end, who knows who will kill the deer? What's more, it's not certain whether the child in the swaddle will grow up. "
Shen Jue didn't react at all when he heard such outrageous words, and his expression remained calm, as if what Weide was talking about was just a parental shortness.
Weide looked at Shen Jue attentively, saw his calm face, and smiled with satisfaction, "Jue'er, your time has come. Xiao Yan, that useless man who forcibly occupied other people's farmland, was soured by the censorship group. The Confucian ginseng has a copy, and the emperor wants to remove him. The position of Admiral of Dongchang cannot be left alone. Our family has asked His Majesty for a favor, and you can go to Dongchang tomorrow."
Shen Jue's eyelashes trembled slightly, he bowed his head and knelt down, sounding like a ring hitting each other.
"Thank you, your adoptive father. Your son will definitely go through fire and water as a righteous father, and he will do whatever he wants!"
