Spring Forest Evening

Both Shen Yi and Zhou Heng stood up in surprise, and when they saw Shen Fu and Uncle He entering the door with a smile side by side, they were even more relieved:

Looks like there is good news.

Sure enough, Uncle He laughed loudly when he saw the same look of anticipation between the two of them: "Thank you for your concern, this trip will be safe, oh no, it should be said that this trip has been very rewarding!"

It seems that the Empress Empress said a lot of things to Uncle He today, and it should be something that is beneficial to her side. Also, the Jiang family was able to plan to make their daughter a queen, so it was naturally not an ordinary family. Although the queen has been ill for many years and has no heirs, she still sits firmly in the middle palace, so it is conceivable that she is not someone who is waiting for nothing.

While feeling relaxed, Zhou Heng's mind became active:

That being the case, this Empress Jiang couldn't be... pretending to be sick on purpose, right?

But after pretending to be sick for so many years, it is impossible for a bunch of imperial doctors in the palace to cure him for so long?And can the emperor tolerate a woman who is sick and has no children to be the queen all the time?If he can bear it, can those women who gave birth to the prince also bear it?

So in this case, considering Empress Jiang's abnormal behavior of actively contacting Uncle He, it can't be... being drugged by the empress dowager, right?So now it's time to wait for revenge?

This is very possible, after all, they are not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and both of them are about the same age. For women, same-sex repulsion is normal, not to mention that these two are at the top of the power hierarchy, fighting each other for power , the other women in the palace, no matter how noble their status, can only stand aside, or watch the fire from the other side, as for the emperor...

Thinking of the emperor, Zhou Heng couldn't help thinking of his bloody guesses from the past. It is said that the emperor could not let them fight. The queen mother is not his mother, and the queen is his wife, unless...

The queen mother really had an affair with the emperor!

Then the queen mother and the queen are serious rivals in love, do you need to talk about the reasons for the rivals?And only in this case, the emperor who was caught in the middle couldn't settle.

Thinking about it this way, the more Zhou Heng thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became. Anyway, at the very least, one thing must be settled:

Empress Jiang and the third princess are not on the same side!

It seems that there is a godly assist. This is not a person to be underestimated. In time, he may become a godly teammate. Thinking of this, Zhou Heng felt that the haze just now seemed to be swept away, especially Shen Fu, who has been missing him all this time, has also returned, and now he is walking up to Ah Hua and bending down to listen carefully to his talk about the little bow. Well, the picture looks better and better!

Shen Yi looked at her son, then at Chun Yu, who was tidying up the baskets and planning to leave, hesitated for a while, and finally decided:

"Chunyu, you take him to find a wet nurse, and then ask Chuntao to bring over the puppy from before. She told me yesterday that the puppy is very obedient, so let her keep an eye on it. Ah Hua played with that puppy for a while, oh yes, call someone under Muyun, if Chenfeng is free, let him come, teach Ah Hua how to shoot arrows, if you play with that puppy, let him come He's watching."

After Chun Yu gave her orders, she walked over and told her nephew and uncle about her arrangement. She thought that the little guy might not agree, but before she finished speaking, she ran over with her little bow and grabbed Chun Yu's hand Excitedly said that he wanted to find a puppy to play with.

In this way, Ah Hua was happily dismissed, and Shen Fu came over and sat down beside Zhou Heng, and touched her hand lightly, Zhou Heng smiled back, and both felt that the other was in a good mood .

Uncle He was also very happy. After sitting down, he drank a cup of herbal tea and went straight to the topic. He first explained why he left the city early in the morning to meet Empress Jiang in the palace:

"Actually, I thought about it for a long time last night. I tossed and turned, and kept thinking, where did I hear that 'Hexiang Xiaozhu'? Then I thought, since the word 'Hexiang' is in the name, it must have something to do with it. The lotus and the pond are inseparable, so I followed this line of thinking for a long time."

"Although there are quite a few places like this in the capital city, and there are places like this in many mansions, but this place, I thought at the time, should be the empress and I were there at the time, and I was even quite impressed, so There are not too many places.”

"The pavilions and pavilions in the palace that were related to Empress Jiang, as well as the places outside the palace that the late emperor asked me to inspect earlier, including Jiang's house, I have thought about all the places I can think of. Unfortunately, it has been too long. Now my memory is no better than before, how can I remember such a place called 'Hexiang Xiaozhu'!"

"After thinking about it, when I was annoyed, I suddenly realized that the name of the place is not so obscure that I can't remember it. Isn't the queen's work in vain? So, everyone, we were thinking about it before, old man I thought I should invite us to meet at a certain place, but there is really no place with that name in the capital, poor Mu Yun and the others have been busy for a long time, but they couldn't find it!"

At the critical moment, Uncle He still did not forget to speak for his apprentice. Zhou Heng pursed his lips and smiled, and glanced at Shen Fu. Seeing that the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, he thought he felt the same way, so he quietly reached out and touched his hand, Shen Fu. Fu looked back immediately, reached out and took her hand.

Zhou Heng was afraid that Shen Yi, who was sitting on the other side of him, would see something, so he hurriedly wanted to pull his hand away, so in the end it was Shen Fu who took one of her fingers and shook it before letting go.

There was nothing obvious on the faces of the two of them for the little actions below, while Shen Yi was smiling and saying Uncle He:

"Oh, I know you love your apprentice. Could it be that A Fu and I have said something about him? I also watched Mu Yun grow up. If he can do it, A Fu can nominate him as the captain?"

Hearing this, Uncle He chuckled and handed over to Shen Yi to accuse him:

"Oh, princess forgive me, but that's what I said. This storyteller needs an opening line. I just use it as an introduction to the story, and listen, listen!"

Shen Yi pursed her lips and gave it up with a smile: "Okay, you should listen carefully!"

Uncle He held back his expression, looked at the other two who hadn't expressed much in surprise, coughed lightly and continued:

"After thinking about it last night, I couldn't figure it out. It happened that there was a mosquito flying around in the tent, which was very annoying. I took the cattail fan and chased it away. I was so angry that I decided to simply go here today." Go directly to the palace early in the morning and ask the empress how she is, and it doesn't matter if it's Yin or You, or the lotus fragrance or the lotus smell!"

So that was the case, the other three couldn't help laughing when they heard it, thinking that there was some story behind this Hexiang Xiaozhu, and why Uncle He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, but they didn't expect that it was just because of a mosquito.

Seeing their expressions like this, Uncle He couldn't help laughing again:

"It's a pity that the meritorious person, oh no, the meritorious mosquito, has been beaten to death by me on the spot!"

"However, when I arrived at the palace early in the morning and waited for the summons, I was still a little apprehensive. I was afraid that my reckless behavior would offend the empress, and if I offended her, I felt that it would be useless on our side. , wouldn’t that implicate Ah Fu?”

"Oh, I regretted it at that time, but I have come here, and I may not be able to remember what 'Hexiang Xiaozhu' is, and I will have to ask the door at that time, that's all, if you stretch your head and shrink your head, you will be stabbed." , then bit the bullet and went in again.”

"When I saw the Empress, I won't hide it from you three, Uncle He and I also knelt down to plead guilty on the spot, but guess what happened?"
