Spring Forest Evening

After finishing speaking, he pulled Zhou Heng's hand next to him as a gesture to get up:

"Come on, let's go back now, I'm really mad!"

"No, no, Princess, you misunderstood!" The brown-clothed woman became anxious when she heard this, gritted her teeth, took two steps forward, and knelt down in front of Shen Yi:

"Please listen to the servant's explanation first!"

He looked at Zhou Heng pleadingly again, meaning to ask her to help persuade him.

Zhou Heng understood, and took Shen Yi's arm to persuade her softly:

"Or, let's listen to what this nanny has to say first?"

Shen Yi secretly laughed in her heart, it seems that Concubine Liang really didn't have anyone available around her, and this person was considered senior at his age, so he was so unintimidated. With a red face, he helped to sing a white face for a while, and in a few moments, he managed to pin him down smoothly.

Then he snorted, as if he had listened to Zhou Heng's persuasion, and sat down heavily again.

The woman in brown knelt on the ground and raised her head and explained in a low voice:

"Princess, it is true that my master is worried about the young master, and it is true that he wants to ask the prince to protect the young master. It’s just a stopgap measure.”

"Oh?" These words were quite unexpected, even Shen Yi raised her eyebrows uncontrollably and interjected:

"A stopgap measure? But why?"

Could it be that the emperor has other sons?I haven't heard of it, and the queen herself has never given birth.

If you go to this one, it can only be... She wants to be the emperor herself?

Isn't it true that Queen Jiang's ambition is so big?Shen Yi sneered in her heart: Want to imitate Emperor Wu?

Cut, who is Emperor Wu?It might not be possible to produce one in hundreds of years. Just looking at the appearance, do you really think that a woman can be a queen?Was Queen Jiang blinded by the flattery of some villain around her?

But that's too ignorant, right?The daughter taught by Jiang Taifu, the princess concubine whom the late emperor favored, or a person who has become a Buddhist, it is supposed to be impossible.

Even if it is Emperor Wu, it has to be in harmony with the right time, place, and people. She is the daughter of the Tian family and a legitimate princess. You can imagine how tough it is to be able to survive in the wild for several months in the wind and snow.

And even so, Emperor Wu nominally obtained the imperial edict of his elder brother Wendi's Zen position, and did not change his surname after he ascended the throne, and still retained the Chen family.

She, Empress Jiang, whose surname is not Chen, who gave her the courage to dare to think so?

Not to mention whether she has that level of strength, the current emperor and several princes are not so dissolute and incompetent that people want to overthrow them...

When Shen Yi was thinking about various possibilities, Zhou Heng chose to listen to the answer without thinking. Anyway, he didn't understand the situation in this world, so he might as well just ask the person in front of him who offered to send him:

"Since you came here all the way today, you think you came here to fulfill your master's entrustment, so let's talk about it, this temple is not a place to stay for a long time."

This made the brown-clothed woman, who was still pondering her words, feel heartbroken. She knelt on her knees and took a few steps forward. Seeing that she was at Shen Yi's feet, she said to Zhou Heng:

"The girl is right."

Then he looked at Shen Yi and said in a low voice:

"Princess, to be honest, my master only recently found out about this by accident."

"A few days ago, my master went to the palace with the emperor to escape the summer heat. At a banquet there, I heard a foreign woman who had been to the palace many times to escape the summer heat. Some rare herbal medicines, one of which is especially effective for chronic coughs, but these herbs are not easy to find."

"My master thought of the empress who was suffering so much, and boldly begged the emperor to send someone up the mountain to search for it carefully. In front of everyone, the emperor agreed. Later, he found a few plants. The guards hurriedly sent it to the imperial palace outside the capital, and for some reason, they allowed my master to let us from Cuiwei Palace send it to the queen."

It sounded like it was true, Zhou Heng felt that these words were a bit watery and could not stand up to scrutiny, but it didn't matter, the process was not important, as long as the result was true.

Glancing at Shen Yi, she squeezed her hand tightly, and asked the woman in brown in a deep voice:

"and then?"

"The person who was sent was the most capable nanny beside my master," the woman replied in a low voice:

"At that time when I arrived at the palace, I was afraid of bumping into the empress. After all, I didn't inform you in advance, so I asked the coachman and others to wait at the foot of the mountain, and went up the mountain by myself with the small bag of herbs."

"It's hot in summer, although it is true that the palace is cooler than the capital, but as a nanny, she traveled a long distance and then climbed the mountain, and she was a little dizzy and felt dizzy during the walk, because of which she wanted to vomit at one point. "

"It's a coincidence that at that time, Mammy just walked into the woods by the roadside after vomiting, and wanted to find a mountain spring to rinse her mouth, so she walked along the woods. After walking for a long time, she felt that she really had no strength, so she I simply leaned against a big tree and rested for a while."

"The Royal Palace, no one can go up that mountain, so it's quiet everywhere, but when the nun closed her eyes and rested, she heard some movement not far away."

"At first, Mammy didn't take it seriously. She was also weak at the time and couldn't take care of herself. She thought she must be someone from the palace. She was afraid that her appearance would be too disrespectful, so she didn't make a sound."

"But then it got a little closer, and gradually it seemed that someone was walking and holding a sword or other weapon to open the way, and Mammy felt that something was wrong. According to the rules in the palace, you must understand the rules of the palace. If it is a palace maid and eunuch Or Mammy, who usually walks the right path, and definitely won’t carry weapons.”

"If they brought weapons, they would be the guards guarding the palace, but if they were guards, even if they weren't in groups, they would definitely be in twos and threes. How could there be only one person?"

"Grandma became vigilant and hid quietly behind the big tree. Not long after, she saw a man coming down from it. He was wearing ordinary clothes and was tall. Let's go, under the cover of the bushes and leaves, Mammy didn't dare to vent her breath, but she still couldn't help but take a peek, after this look, she found that this person actually knew her."

"Who is it?" Shen Yi asked in a low voice, and couldn't help but grasp Zhou Heng's hand tightly.

The brown-clothed woman knelt on the ground, her eyes were just at the same level as Shen Yi's knees, she could clearly see this movement, and she kept her face still, she just moved her head closer to Shen Yi again, and said something in a low voice :

"Commander of the Imperial Guard, Qin Zhihai!"
