Spring Forest Evening

"Qin Zhihai?" Shen Yi's expression was stunned at first, but then she curled her lips suddenly and said:

"It's... not surprising."

Zhou Heng listened by the side and didn't say a word. Anyway, she didn't know this person, and there was a person sent by the fourth prince, mother and concubine kneeling on the ground in front of her, so it was inconvenient to ask Shen Yi face to face.

However, after hearing the name of the commander of the imperial guards, Shen Yi became excited (eight) (hexagrams), and asked the kneeling woman some detailed questions with bright eyes:

"Although the surname Qin has a bad reputation, he still does a good job. The empress lives in the palace, and the emperor is not in the capital. As the commander of the imperial guards in the palace, he goes up the mountain in broad daylight to take a look around. Depending on the situation, it makes sense.”

"Since you dare to mention him now, there must be some follow-up things later?"

Now that the name has been said, the woman in brown clothes is also very happy, and said the following things very neatly:

"Back to the princess, although the nanny felt a little surprised at the time, she didn't think too much about other aspects. It was just that after she went to the palace and met the empress, she was asked by the empress herself. Did you meet anyone on the way up the mountain?"

"After Mammy answered a few court ladies she met on the road, the people around the Empress asked her if she had gone to the nearby forest. Afterwards, he tried to cover it up by explaining that there were wild animals in the forest, lest she might be surprised."

"In the royal palace, there are guards patrolling it in the morning and evening. There are no wild beasts there. I just want to test whether she has seen Commander Qin! Mammy pretended not to know at the moment, but she found an excuse when she was tried hard to stay in the palace that night. He said that he begged for a favor from the master, and sent herbal medicine back to the capital to visit his sick brother, the emperor also knew about this, so he was able to escape, left the palace and went down the mountain."

"After that, the nanny asked the coachman to hurry back to the capital, visited her elder brother, and went back to the palace the next morning, but the more she thought about it along the way, the more she felt that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to tell anyone at the time, and only went back later. After a while, I secretly told my master."

"Master naturally didn't believe it at first, but it was a coincidence that one day, he actually met Commander Qin at the palace."

Having said that, the brown-clothed woman stopped for a while, looked up at Zhou Heng, and smiled a little embarrassedly:

"At that time, Prince Jing's residence happened not long after the water flooded. The emperor called him to question and asked him to strengthen the defense of the palace. It was at the bonfire party, and even the ministers and their families were there. Someone listened during the banquet. Then he mentioned the palace where the empress lived, saying that there are lush vegetation and thunderstorms occur frequently in summer, so you should pay more attention to it, the emperor asked a few more questions after hearing this."

"Unexpectedly, Commander Qin pleaded guilty with embarrassment after hearing this, saying that he hadn't thought of this level, and that he only paid attention to sending more people to patrol the palace these days, and he would have to go to the empress to plead guilty later. But it didn't mention anything about going up the mountain to the palace before."

"Commander Qin's words sounded like he was deliberately avoiding suspicion. For this reason, my master naturally believed what the mother said before, and when he returned to the palace, he also paid attention to Commander Qin's behavior. After all, This matter is no small matter, one mistake will set off a bloody storm in the court!"

This made Shen Yi nod her head to express her agreement. Zhou Heng thought for a while, and it was also true that ordinary men would go berserk and out of control once they knew that they were being cuckolded, let alone the emperor, and the one who hooked up with his wife was still responsible for being in the palace. The subordinates of the law and order will definitely explode.

If the emperor is going to explode, it is not just one or two people who are unlucky. Zhou Heng felt that there was no need to think about this, so he couldn't help but nodded.

The brown-clothed woman looked at the identical expressions of the two in front of her, and secretly smiled in her heart, hmph, are you frightened just by hearing such news?There are more exciting things in the back:

"It's just that after returning to the palace, I didn't find any clues. Commander Qin has been doing his job in a regular manner, and the empress, as always, doesn't come out very often in Changchun Palace."

"The princess must also know that my master has been living in Cuiwei Palace with peace of mind all these years, focusing on taking care of the little master, and because of this, some snobs have looked down upon her for her indifferent temperament. The Empress is willing to take care of her, so she will also go to the Changchun Palace."

"Originally, the empress is not in good health, and there is always a smell of medicine in the Changchun Palace for three or two days. My master has been there many times, and he is more familiar with the smell of medicine than others, but in the empress Not long after returning to the palace, my master took the young master to the Changchun Palace to pay respects to the empress, but was surprised to find that there was a vague fruity fragrance floating in the Changchun Palace, and the original medicinal smell was gone! "

"To put aside the past, my master probably thought that the empress was in good health and did not need to take medicine, but now that something like Commander Qin has been added, and at that time, the empress was still in poor health as before. There was a sleepy look on the back of the chair, so I felt a little strange, but my little master is used to getting close to the empress, and it was the first time I saw her after returning from the summer vacation, so I always wanted to put him in the palace. A multicolored stone was picked up by a small stream and given to the empress, and after entering the Changchun Palace to salute, she took the stone and threw herself on the empress excitedly."

"The empress used to be very fond of the little master. Every time she saw him, she would hold him on her lap to tease and talk to him. This time, before the little master got close, the empress behind Mammy stepped forward and stopped him."

"After all, the little master is still young, and he still holds the five-colored stones and wants to get close to the empress, but although the empress is smiling and friendly, she doesn't let him go forward. he-"

"Do you have evidence?" Shen Yi interrupted again abruptly at this time, Zhou Heng looked at it, but his expression was more serious than before, he was a little puzzled, he didn't know what was wrong with these words.

The brown-clothed woman understood, she knelt there, raised her head straight and replied:

"It's related to the royal blood. My master only dared to let the slaves come out to tell you, the princess, after repeated inspections!"

Shen Yi stood up, stared at her and said coldly:

"Then you swear: If what you just said is even half a lie, then... your master's thoughts will be completely shattered!"
