Spring Forest Evening

"Okay." Shen Fu answered briefly, then turned his head halfway and said softly:

"Go to bed when you're tired, it's okay!"

Zhou Heng was really exhausted right now. The simulated rescue just now was too exhausting. Thinking back to when he was learning to swim, either the coach pulled a student to demonstrate, or he pulled a girl to laugh and not study hard. And at that time, they only paid attention to whether the movements were in place, and did not conduct long-term training at all. After all, this was just a gift for buying swimming lessons, and personal swimming training was the main theme, so the coaches and students did not pay much attention.

So now it's really time for actual combat training, and they are facing Shen Fu who basically has no swimming foundation. Not to mention the huge difference in height and weight between the two, if the boat is far away from the shore, and the boat really breaks down and falls into the water, Also pay attention to avoid the gang of thieves with excellent water skills, the loss of physical strength can be imagined then.

For this reason, Zhou Heng was very depressed. Although he was so tired and wanted to fall asleep immediately, he still tried his best to think of a way out. For example, is there any escape aid similar to a swimming ring?

"Ah Fu, don't you guys prepare escape boats on the big boats here? Just the small boats hanging on both sides of the boat?" Zhou Heng asked weakly.

I was not too disappointed when I found out that there was none. After all, the capital is neither by the river nor by the sea. The boats in Taiye Pond are large and stable, and they are in the heavily guarded palace. There are thieves who are so bold as to go to the point of digging a boat to sneak attack.

Without an escape boat, naturally there would be no such thing as a life buoy. Zhou Heng put up with it, but it was useless to ask.

Then put all your eggs in one basket and try your best to rescue Shen Fu ashore!

After all, there are still two more days, and the two of them will practice the tacit understanding of their coordination. Today's practice time has been a bit long, and it will be a trip at best, and maybe they won't be so tired.

Furthermore, just like the previous exams, when I was reviewing, I always felt that I didn’t memorize here, and I didn’t review there. When I came to the exam, maybe I performed very well on the spot?

What's more, Zhou Heng felt that one should be optimistic, so she whispered into Shen Fu's ear happily:

"Ah Fu, I think, maybe we two are lucky, God favors, maybe the emperor won't call you aboard, it's unknown. Didn't you just say that you have contacted the empress today and wait for her reply later? ? Maybe when she makes a move, we can just wait and watch from the other side!"

Shen Fu didn't speak, and walked a while with her behind his back, and then said dully:

"Aheng, I still don't think this is right. Don't enter the palace, okay?"

"But you are going to enter the palace, idiot!" Zhou Heng pinched his ear: "What will you do when you get on the boat?"

Shen Fu let her hold it, and said in his mouth: "Then I will say that I have filial piety, stay away from the emperor at the banquet, and insist on resigning when I get on the boat, can't it be fine?"

"It's not impossible." Zhou Heng felt that although this idea might offend the emperor, the emperor probably wouldn't survive the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's okay to offend if offended. Thinking of this, he said:

"Forget it, let's not think about it too much, what should be practiced, continue to practice, be prepared," yawned again, clasped Shen Fu's neck with both hands and said:

"There should be an answer from the Queen's side tomorrow, right? I hope it is good news..."

As a result, he fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up suddenly, he found that he was lying on the bed with his clothes on, with a thin quilt covering his body, and there was no Shen Fu around him, so he sat up quickly and shouted outside:

"Ah Fu!"

Fortunately, soon there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then the curtain was lifted, and Shen Fu walked in.

Zhou Heng listened, and there seemed to be footsteps coming out, so he asked, "Is it Mu Yun?"

Shen Fu nodded, came over and sat down beside the bed:

"It was the empress who sent the news."

Shen Fu just sent the message in the morning, but there was a reply in the evening?It seems that the efficiency is not bad.Zhou Heng wiped his face, raised his head and asked:

"How long did I sleep just now? How did you pull me up from the tunnel?"

I didn't expect to be able to sleep so unconsciously. It seems that the rescue in the water just now was exhausting, and I was really tired. Of course, Zhou Heng found an excuse for himself:

Maybe it's because I haven't exercised for a long time.

When Shen Fu pointed to his hair and smiled, he replied: "Of course I carried you up, but you haven't slept for long, I just put you on the bed, and I didn't even have time to dry your hair , Mu Yun came over."

Then she moved over and lay on Shen Fu's lap, raised her eyes and asked him:

"What did the empress say?"

While reaching out to touch the top of the head, it was okay, although the hair attached to the scalp was still a little wet, most of it was dry.

Shen Fu took a handkerchief and came out to wipe her hair while lowering his head and explaining to her:

"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the empress will attend the palace banquet, but after the banquet, she will stay in the water pavilion by the Taiye Pond on the grounds of her health. According to what she has found out so far, the emperor will board the ship with the eldest prince and others , What the Empress Dowager means is that since the Empress Dowager and her daughter have such wolfish ambitions, they will naturally avoid getting on the boat."

"That is, the female family members in the palace will not board the ship." Zhou Heng looked up at Shen Fu, curled his lips: "I don't know how they persuaded the emperor, they are really amazing!"

After hearing this, Shen Fu lowered his head and smiled at her: "Not necessarily, maybe this was the emperor's plan. After all, there is a custom of offering sacrifices during the Mid-Autumn Festival. In that case, the female relatives would not...won't participate."

The meaning is actually that the female dependents do not need or are not eligible to participate, right?It's really patriarchal, and I don't know how the previous Emperor Wu used to sacrifice, Zhou Heng curled his lips again.

But if even the Queen Mother doesn't board the boat, doesn't Shen Fu need to board the boat either?Feeling slightly relieved, Zhou Heng raised his body and hugged Shen Fu's waist and leaned against him:

"So the whole thing is moving in the direction that the queen mother and daughter want? If it goes well, no, those people will work hard, and the emperor and his son will be beaten into the water on the boat, and then the second prince will succeed? Then the empress dowager But did you say what to do next? Didn't she want to support some fourth prince?"

For this reason, Shen Fu also reached a tacit agreement with her. Of course, to be more precise, it can also be said that the queen persuaded Shen Fu to let him at least sit on the sidelines.

In other words, if he wants to take this opportunity to make things happen, at least that Empress Jiang has left behind!

No, it left a lot of behind-the-scenes!

Otherwise, since her natal family is only a civil servant, and her father has become a bare-bones queen of Cheng Engong in name only, why can she so swear that she will sit and watch the second prince unite with the queen mother and daughter to destroy the emperor?Is she so sure that she can support the Fourth Prince?

But according to Uncle He's and others' comments, it seems that Empress Jiang is not a big talker.

And even now, she was just communicating with Shen Fu, and didn't use it to ask him to contribute...

Thinking of this, suddenly, alarm bells rang in his mind, Zhou Heng got up instantly, almost hit Shen Fu's chin because of this, and said to him very nervously:

"But it's not right, Ah Fu!"
