The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

Shen Quan was worried that Shen He would run around after returning to Beijing, so he asked Su Fengyi to look after him. In fact, he was worrying too much.

After Shen He came back, not only did he not run around, he even did not go out at all. Not only did he not leave the Princess's Mansion, he even rarely came out of Wangyuexuan except when he received an imperial edict.

The achievement of surrendering the northern barbarians this time is a great feat that can be recorded in history books. The emperor was never stingy in conferring official titles and promoted both Shen He and Lu Qing.

Shen He was promoted from the third rank General Zhaoyong to the second rank General Dingguo, and Lu Qing was promoted from the seventh rank Zhubu to the fifth rank Honglu Temple Secretary.

The one who came to announce the decree was Xue Yu, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.

Xue Yu had only held the position of eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department for a few days, and the emperor had just conferred him the title.

The emperor was greatly shocked by Qiao Gui's downfall. He became strongly suspicious of the people around him and dared not trust anyone anymore.

The current emperor only trusts Lu Hong in the palace. He ordered Lu Hong to interrogate all the eunuchs and palace maids who served him closely and carried out a major purge.

The first person to fall with Qiao Gui was Cui Shi.

When Cui Shi was fighting Qiao Gui, he jumped around a lot, but he forgot that he was involved in eight out of ten bad things Qiao Gui did.

Apart from anything else, it was Qiao Gui who ordered and Cui Shi who personally carried out the act of locking Concubine Xuan up in the cold palace and starving her to death.

So a few days after Qiao Gui's death, Cui Shi followed him and was sentenced to immediate execution by the emperor. He was pushed to the vegetable market and beheaded on the spot.

Under Qiao Gui's rule, it was also difficult for other eunuchs and palace maids to remain unscathed. Each of them had their own leverage over him, and in order to protect themselves, you reported me and I reported you, so it was difficult for anyone to remain innocent.

At this time, Xue Yu was like a white lotus that grew out of the mud without being stained. She stood out among the group of bastards, shining brightly.

In the interrogation record that Lu Hong gave to the emperor, everyone else was guilty except Xue Yu. Although he was the factory owner's godson, he had never stepped on an ant to death. He was so pure and innocent.

Even the fact that he had been pleading with Qiao Gui before was because he was too honest and was deceived by Qiao Gui.

But even such a wise and powerful emperor was deceived by Qiao Gui, so it was understandable that Xue Yu was so naive that he was deceived.

When Qiao Gui was in power, Xue Yu did not take advantage of Qiao Gui's power to bully others. This is a man of integrity.

When Qiao Gui fell from power, Xue Yu did not take advantage of his misfortune and remained respectful to Qiao Gui. This shows that he is a loyal person.

The emperor was frightened by Qiao Gui, and now he likes people like Xue Yu who are honest and loyal. Therefore, it is natural for Xue Yu, as the most innocent of the few remaining old men, to become the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.

After Xue Yu came to the Princess's Mansion to announce the decree, he asked to see Su Fengyi alone and reported:

"Your Highness, the people of the King of Pingliang gave me a gift, hoping to facilitate the King of Pingliang's return to the capital. Should I accept it?"

Su Fengyi smiled:

"You have only been the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department for a few days, and the Prince of Pingliang is so well-informed that he has come to you?

It seems that Xie Xuan arrested too few people and some of them slipped through the net.

Since the gift is given to you, you should accept it as usual and keep him calm. Please write down who gave you the gift and I will ask Xie Xuan to check it out."

Su Fengyi, the trusted spies of the King of Pingliang in the capital, decided that if anyone showed up, he would catch them one by one, and if there were two, he would catch a pair.

Now the King of Pingliang has no soldiers to fight for, his money has been cut off by Su Fengyi, and all the people he asked for have been captured. Su Fengyi wants to see what he can use to rebel as a commander without any troops.

After Xue Yu left, Su Fengyi called Wutong to ask:

"Has Xie Xuan returned to the Princess's Mansion recently?"

Xie Xuan is Wutong's teacher, and the two of them have formally performed the master-disciple ceremony, so others are not clear about Xie Xuan's whereabouts, but Wutong is clear.

Wutong Road:

"Yes, Commander Xie returns every day and asks me about Your Highness's situation every day."

He came back every day and Wutong could see him every day, but Su Fengyi hadn't seen Xie Xuan for more than a month.

The last time I saw him was when Qiao Gui fell. Xie Xuan was ordered to arrest the remnants of Qiao's party. Su Fengyi gave him a list of King Pingliang's confidants and asked him to arrest people according to the list.

If he couldn't see her before, it could be said that he was busy with his work and couldn't meet her. But now that the remnants of Qiao's party have been almost caught, and he still can't see her, then it can only be that he is deliberately avoiding her.

It seems that all I said to him last time was in vain.

Okay, okay, you're just having a quarrel, right? Since you can't resolve it by talking it over nicely, then forget it. I don't believe she can't cure him.

Su Fengyi was a little angry and said to Wutong:

"Go and tell Xie Xuan to come to the bedroom to keep watch for me tonight!"

Wutong had been with Su Fengyi for a long time and was keenly aware of the princess's anger. He immediately said:

"Yes, I will tell you right away."

Wutong left the study, quickly asked for leave from Mr. Bai, stopped reading, and went out to find Xie Xuan.

After Wutong left, Su Fengyi asked someone to summon Guichu and asked him:

"How is General Shen's diet recently?"

Shen He has not left Wangyuexuan for a long time, which is really inconsistent with his lively personality. When he received the order just now, Su Fengyi felt that he seemed to have lost weight, so Su Fengyi was worried that Shen He was sick.

It had been such a long time since Gui Chu entered the Princess's Mansion, but this was the first time he had come directly to his master to answer questions. It was so cold that he was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead. He stammered, "

"General Shen, I have lost my appetite recently. I don't even want to eat snacks."

It sounds and feels really sick.

Since Shen Quan specifically asked her to take care of Shen He before he left, if Shen He got sick, Su Fengyi couldn't just ignore it, so she called Xiao Guo back and asked him:

"I heard that Young General Shen's meals have not been very tasty lately. Is it because the food prepared by the chef in the mansion is not to his taste? Or is he sick? Has a doctor been consulted?"

Xiao Guo was very confused:

"No, the Major General is fine, but he has recently become obsessed with painting, and spends several hours painting in his study every day.

The young general is so excited about painting that he sometimes doesn't have time to eat or sleep. I will remind you to eat and sleep on time every day."

Drawing?

It sounded like there was nothing wrong with it, it was a legitimate hobby, and it was rare that he liked it, so Su Fengyi let the matter go and let him do what he wanted.

She also asked the maid to go to the storehouse and select several paintings by famous artists, as well as some painting materials, especially some rare colors, and send them to Shen He.

Wutong went out personally to find Xie Xuan. Knowing that the princess had something to tell him, Xie Xuan did not hide anymore. He returned to the princess's residence in the afternoon and went to the study to ask to see Su Fengyi.

Su Fengyi was reading the memorials submitted by all the Pingliang kings since Taizu, which were copied and sent to her by Xue Yu.

After Xie Xuan came in, he knelt down and asked:

"Your Highness, is there anything you want to ask of me?"

Su Fengyi looked at the list left by Xue Yu, but did not mention the list, nor did she look at Xie Xuan. Instead, she continued to look at the memorial and said:

"Yes, there is something. Come here. I am very tired. Come and massage my shoulders."

Xie Xuan paused for a moment, neither standing up nor speaking.

Su Fengyi let him kneel and continued to read the memorials, ignoring him.

Wutong could sense Su Fengyi's anger, and as Su Fengyi's most tacit subordinate, Xie Xuan could naturally sense it as well.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

"Yes, Your Highness, I obey your command."
