Spring Forest Evening

Seeing her like this, Zhou Heng reflexively wanted to help her, but Shen Yi grabbed her hand and stopped her. She calmly asked the brown-clothed woman who was still prostrate on the ground after kowtowing:

"May I ask why it is Prince Jing's Mansion?"

This question made Zhou Heng thump, yes, why did you choose A Fu?He quickly sat upright, waiting for the woman to give an answer.

The woman didn't think she expected that the two women in front of her were relatively calm, and they were not easily moved by what she said just now, so she lay down on the ground for a while before raising her head to explain.

The answer this time is based on what Shen Yi analyzed with Zhou Heng on the carriage back:

"Thinking about it, I know that I can't get anything good, and I have spent my heart and soul with us. Yes, if I were me, I would also look for A Fu, just as they think. Although A Fu is Prince Jing, his surname is not Chen, no. Like those clans, they can't threaten the future of the fourth prince, not to mention the Jingguo army in the Northwest Road, they are also wholeheartedly for the country of their Chen family. To speak a word of our own ambition, Concubine Liang said that she would rely on the lives of mother and son. He also has the strength to bear this entrustment!"

"Furthermore, since Concubine Liang knew that the Empress had found A Fu, she must have known to some extent that A Fu had opinions on the Emperor and even several adult princes. In this case, her three-year-old ignorant child is very important to Prince Jing's mansion. It is also the best choice, a country cannot be without a master for a day, and now they are talking about the empress's astonishing ambitions, no matter who it is, they will definitely choose the fourth prince."

"Concubine Liang's family background is not good, and her mother's family has nothing to rely on. I think it is because of this reason. The first three princes and concubines have been promoted to the concubine position. She is the only one. You can see that she is only a concubine now. She has four princes, and it was also by accident, the emperor later treated her coldly."

"There are rumors that the four princes almost couldn't keep them at that time. Later, the empress took her to the Changchun Palace to take care of her for a period of time before she stabilized. Now that I think about it, our empress is really a long-sighted person. Take a step and count." Ten steps, it's a step-by-step approach, hehe, don't say that we have misjudged, the emperor, the queen mother, and those people must never have imagined that one day, they will fall down and be soaked in medicine jars because of the wind blowing on weekdays. The woman in the house has been tricked!"

"However, Ah Heng, the royal family is like this. Either you die or I live. The queen is the emperor's married wife, but she is humiliated by the queen mother and daughter. Jiang Taifu heard that he is also old and weak now. The false name of the benefactor, even the family is not easy to come out, not to mention that his eldest son, the elder brother of Empress Jiang, was quite talented and famous, but because he was unsuccessful in Beijing, he took the initiative to ask the emperor for help. It is said that an official who has been sent out has not come back for many years, thinking about it this way, the hatred in the empress's heart is actually understandable."

Zhou Heng is not interested in these old things, now she only cares about Shen Fu's safety, after listening to Shen Yi's analysis, she nodded very carelessly, and then said:

"Sister, tell me about the rules in the palace, such as the etiquette of court ladies."

"Why do you ask this?" Shen Yi was a little surprised: "Could it be...you suspect that the person just now is not from the palace? Don't worry, this is actually very easy to check, and you can't hide it from others. Since she knows so many things, she has suffered from Liang The concubine's entrustment must be someone with a reputation in Cuiwei Palace, and it will be clear after an investigation."

"I'm not worried about this," Zhou Heng thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth. He still hesitated to say it before, but after hearing what the woman in brown clothes said, he knew that Shen Fuzhong Qiuye would definitely enter the palace. How to also follow:

"That's right, eldest sister, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I plan to follow Ah Fu to the palace—"

"What are you going to do in the palace?" Shen Yi was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly tried to stop her: "It's not so exciting, Ah Heng, when the time comes, the palace doesn't know what will happen, even Ah Fu, alas , In fact, I also hold a heart for him..."

After finishing speaking, he looked worried.

Zhou Heng has made up his mind now, and after listening to the woman in brown clothes just now, he has a clearer goal after entering the palace, so he explained to Shen Yi in detail:

"Sister, don't worry, it's like this. I was quite worried when Ah Fu said that he was going to enter the palace, but there was nothing I could do. Now I feel that instead of worrying in vain outside, it's better to help him when the time comes."

"How to help him?" Shen Yi grabbed Zhou Heng's hand tightly.

I can't tell Shen Yi about the possible situations that I discussed with Shen Fu before. After all, it will involve the fact that I can swim. Zhou Heng smiled and said in a slow tone:

"Elder sister, think about it, Concubine Liang asked Ah Fu to help her protect the fourth prince, but the fourth prince is young after all, and usually doesn't follow his father and brother, but it's easier to follow his mother and concubine, in case the empress finds him A reason to bring it with you? Ah Fu can't follow the empress's side, can he?"

"You mean, when the time comes..." Shen Yi followed her train of thought and couldn't help shivering:

"That's really..." There was no way to save it.

"So," Zhou Heng quickly seized the opportunity to persuade her:

"If I enter the palace to stay by the fourth prince's side at that time, and let the empress know that I am from Prince Jing's mansion, will she be afraid of it?"

"It's a good way," Shen Yi pondered for a while, but shook her head again:

"That doesn't require you to go. Ah Heng, don't talk about me about this matter, and Ah Fu will definitely not agree. How can I let you go by yourself? How dangerous! Let Ah Fu find a maid from the mansion to accompany you Just enter the palace, alas, it's a pity that Chun Yu is getting married, otherwise she knows kung fu, it would be the most suitable."

Zhou Heng patted the back of her hand as a reminder:

"But Eldest Sister, Chun Yu is fine. How can you let any maid in the mansion know about such a top-secret matter? But if you don't tell her, how can you make her pay attention to the queen's movements?"

This is true, Shen Yi thought about it, but still shook her head:

"That's not enough to let you follow into the palace. How many people harbored evil intentions on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, even Ah Fu, you have to discuss it carefully with your uncle and the others. Ah Heng, this matter is not trivial. I don't even want to think about it..."

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that she had figured out Zhou Heng's intentions, so she hugged Zhou Heng and whispered in her ear:

"Good sister, elder sister knows that you are for A Fu, but Prince Jing's mansion has become a thorn in the side of some people, and I don't know if there will be any open or hidden swords and halberds waiting in the future, so instead of shrinking back and be patient , might as well give it a go!"

"As the saying goes, riches and honors are found in danger. After this battle, if the fourth prince is really blessed and Concubine Liang has no one to rely on, Prince Jing's mansion may be able to reverse the disadvantage in one fell swoop, and the matter of the father and mother can also be dusted like this. settled."

"Don't worry, Ah Heng, with the protection of the spirits of the king and mother, Ah Fu will return safely! Eldest sister has confidence!"

Seeing her like this, Zhou Heng couldn't bear to persist any longer, so he nodded obediently and responded:

"Okay, I listened to elder sister, just don't go!"
