Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"See why you are on the way? Xiaojun, I am so sad when you are like this." Helian Xin pulled her face, blinking her eyes, "If I didn't think that you were in the capital, I would never have talked to that second young man. It’s only 1000 taels for the Lord’s outpatient visits! It’s such a long journey, and the time spent traveling is enough for me to earn 1000 taels!”

"1000 taels, but in the end, people still asked your people to kill me. My work was in vain, Xiaojun, you just made things up for me." Helianxin added.

"If I knew you were busy, I would have killed him before you were busy, and I would have saved you from wasting this time."

"You, Xiaojun, you are too cruel, do you know that?"

"This pavilion is clearly very gentle."

"Okay, okay, you are gentle, you are the most gentle, gentle Lord Pavilion Master, let me ask you, what happened to the corpse that Zhu Qing and the others dragged out when I came?"

"That's just the way this pavilion treats different guests." Shen Qingjun took a sip of tea with an extremely indifferent expression.

He put down his teacup instead, "Can I drink?"

He hadn't drank alcohol since the last time he was nearly drunk.

"Have you ever used the bottle of medicine given to you to relieve chest tightness?"

If it has been used, it means that he has had symptoms again during this period of time. Then, drinking should be considered carefully, it is best not to drink.

As soon as he asked, Shen Qingjun immediately remembered that when he saw Chu Xuanzhao's body covered in injuries when he was in Yingzhou, for a while..., he used one.

"...No." Shen Qingjun lowered her eyes.

"Xiao Jun, you have never lied since you were a child."

Helen Xin broke his shoulders, looked at his trembling eyelashes, and saw at a glance that he lacked confidence.

Just why?

Why would he tell such a lie?For drinking?impossible.

"Xiaojun, what happened? I just wanted to ask, why didn't you live in Prince Xin's Mansion when you came to Beijing with Chu Xuanzhao to do things for him? Those who died, what happened to them?" What's going on? Could it be Chu Xuanzhao—"

Seeing that his guesses became more and more outrageous, Shen Qingjun quickly said, "Of course not. It's Chu Xuanqing. Oh, it's King Teng."

"He sent someone to kill you? This Teng—"

Halfway through Helian Xin's words, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, "Who?! Who sent someone to kill you?"

Helen Xin put on his trademark bad smile instantly, "Who is this? He actually broke into someone else's private room, yo, does he look familiar? Zhao Zhao?"

"!!!"

If it was Shen Qingjun who called Zhaozhao, then he must be happy, but, Helian Daguzhu, he shook the goose bumps on his body and felt a chill.

"...Valley Master Helian, be polite." Chu Xuanzhao still remembered what he heard outside the door just now, and turned to look at Shen Qingjun, "Qingjun, who did you say just now sent someone to kill you? Xuanqing?"

Chu Xuanzhao's expression was very bad. He went all the way to Liuhelou, asked about the room, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence before he came in.

Light... Jun?Helen Xin blinked, they are already so familiar?I remember that before departure, Chu Xuanzhao didn’t know the identity of the sick young man Chenyin Pavilion’s master, and respectfully respected each young master. He felt that even if he got used to it after a long time, he would at most be, eh, “Mr. Shen”?Or the pavilion master?

Moreover, seeing that he was so worried after listening to half a sentence, wouldn't he at least not worry that he would harm the sick man?

Since they have no conflict, why didn't Xiaojun live in Prince Xin's Mansion?

"Well, it's Chu Xuanqing. He couldn't win him over, so he became murderous."

Shen Qingjun was calm, it seemed that he was not talking about being assassinated by someone, but an insignificant person.

"then you--"

"Of course I'm fine."

"Cough! How can I say that the owner of the valley came from a long distance, is it really okay for you to ignore the owner of the valley so much? By the way, my lord, since you are here, what about the payment?" He Lianxin frowned.I originally planned to eat the seedlings of the disease, but now...

"Don't worry, the owner of the valley, this king treats guests." Chu Xuanzhao said, then raised his hand and pulled the rope between Laya.The other end of the rope leads directly to the lower part of the hall, and is tied with a copper bell. Like the one-way gauze curtain before, it is exclusively for the private room.

Xiao Er quickly ran up, "Three guest officers, what are your orders?"

"Bring up your best wine and food, double servings of signature dishes." Helianxin was not polite, and he reported the request before Chu Xuanzhao could speak, and then pointed to Chu Xuanzhao to Xiaoer, "Check out and ask for it." he."

letter king?Xiao Er hurriedly said, "Hey, wait a moment, the food and wine will be served soon."

"and many more--"

"You won't regret it so soon, will you?" Helianxin raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Xuanzhao who stopped the waiter, with obvious contempt in his eyes.

"The signature dish, three servings of crispy fish with beans."

Helen Xin: "..."

Well, when I said nothing.It turns out that the person with the worst taste is not me.

……

The wine and food were served very quickly, but the main dishes still needed to wait for a while.

"By the way, I don't know where the owner of the valley is coming to Beijing?"

During this period of getting along, Chu Xuanzhao had long since discovered that Shen Qingjun hardly spoke when eating, so he turned his head and chatted with Helian Xin.

"Oh, I don't bring much, I'm sick, uh, where he is staying."

Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help but twitched his eyebrows, and knew that his "sick child" almost bald again before he finished speaking.

Yazhuxuan is just a courtyard, usually Shen Qingjun lives in the East Wing, when Zhu Qing and Bi Yuan are around, they live in the West Wing, and the main hall and side hall are in the middle.There is a garden behind the hall, but apart from a pavilion, there are only the kitchen and the Gong room at the east and west corners of the garden.

"There are not enough rooms in Yazhuxuan, and there are many vacant rooms in the mansion. If the owner of the valley does not give up, why not come to the palace?"

The palace was built according to the system, with three courtyards in the front and back, and two courtyards in the east and west on both sides.

Although Zhu Qing and Biyuan didn't live in Yazhuxuan all the time, he didn't think that Shen Qingjun would let Helian Xin live in their room.No matter how she is a quack killer, she is still the daughter of a boudoir.

He didn't dare to think that if Helian Xin and Shen Qingjun lived in the East Wing, even though he knew they were just friends, he still felt crazy when he thought about it.

In fact, Chu Xuanzhao thought too much about this point, even if he is the closest to Helian Xin, it is impossible for Shen Qingjun to sleep on the same bed with him.

It is estimated that Helianxin will sleep on the soft couch in the side hall.

He Lianxin leaned back on the back of the chair lazily, "Yes, there are few rooms in Yazhuxuan, but there are many rooms in the prince's mansion, how dare you ask the prince, there is not enough room for Shen Qingjun in the prince's mansion?"

Whose fault was it that he was asked to move out to live in such a small place?

Shen Qingjun raised his head, glanced at him, and said nothing.

Why is he still thinking about this talk?

"What Guzhu said is very true, Qingjun, Yazhu Pavilion is small, why don't you come back and live?" Chu Xuanzhao followed Helianxin's words and climbed up. Helianxin was also there, maybe he could really convince him live back?

Helian Xin turned her head, what, the sick man moved out by himself?

Helen Xin put one hand on Shen Qingjun's shoulders, and hung his body like a puddle of mud, "Little Jun, this is why you can't think about it. If you help him, you have to eat and drink his. How can you be soft-handed?"

Shen Qingjun froze, and subconsciously raised his eyes to glance at Chu Xuanzhao.

He was obviously used to playing with Helian Xin since he was a child, but for some reason today, he only felt that the side where Helian Xin was hung was slightly hairy.

Shen Qingjun swallowed the food in his mouth, took another two sips of tea, and then slowly uttered two words, "Shut up."

"Guest officer——, your crispy fish with bean paste is here!"

Chu Xuanzhao's eyes lit up.

Helianxin and Shen Qingjun were both speechless.

He usually seems to be a very stable person, and he is also a dignified believer in the prince. How rare is it to eat this fish?

"Try it quickly, it's delicious! I want three servings, shall we share one for each?" Chu Xuanzhao neatly pushed the three plates away, one for each person.

Helen Xin: "..."

Shen Qingjun: "..."

"Hey, my lord, I guess, have you ever thought about getting the cook from the Liuhe Building back to the palace?" Helianxin said in a "peaceful" tone.

"How do you know?" Chu Xuanzhao looked at him in surprise.

He did ask Mo Yi to ask if the chef who made the signature dish was interested in coming to the palace, but he refused.But how did Valley Master Helian know about this?

Helianxin choked, rolled his eyes, and I asked, are you really...

…………

Chaofeng Palace.

"My son has seen the empress, is the empress better?"

King Lian has been unsatisfactory recently, and the queen just released her foot restraint a few days ago. He has not come to pay her respects to the queen for a long time. Today, he finally got the emperor's permission and came to Chaofeng Palace immediately.

"I'm fine now, I just feel dizzy now and then."

"Oh, the child is relieved. By the way, queen mother, the child has great news to tell the queen."

Because the queen has been weak in recent years, Lu Shihuai's death made her fall ill all at once, and King Lian also began to learn to report good news and not bad news.

"Oh, what good news?"

"I'm afraid the child will be a father soon, and the queen mother will be able to hold a grandson soon!"

"What? What you said is true? God bless, this is really great news! You must treat Shuang'er better in the future. Her father has passed away, and now she has no one to rely on..." Thinking of Lu Shi Huai, the empress is in a better mood, but she is faintly depressed again.

King Lian said hesitantly, "...my queen, after returning to my mother, it's not Shuang'er, but it's the baby's side concubine He Li'er..."

"Not Shuang'er?"

King Lian nodded.

The queen sighed, "Forget it, as long as I can give birth to Lin'er for you, that's fine. However, you shouldn't be too biased. Shuang'er is already very pitiful. Her father was executed and her brother was dismissed. You have to take her into consideration." feeling."

"Yes, my child, remember."

"By the way, did you tell your father about this?"

"Not yet, the boy intends to wait for Li'er to give birth to the baby, and then report to the father, so as to surprise the father."

The queen nodded, "Well, what you did was right. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Don't worry. I'll tell your father when the child is born."

King Lian bowed and bowed his head, "Yes, that's what I mean too, my son."

…………

As soon as King Lian returned to Prince Lian's mansion, before entering the door, his cronies rushed to greet him.

"My lord, you are back!"

"what happened?"

The confidant handed him a stack of papers, "My lord, I found this by searching He's mansion under your order, and, just as my lord expected, He Yan is indeed not in the mansion."

King Lian looked at the letter in his hand as he walked in, and his face turned ashen when he finished reading it, "Okay! Sure enough! Good for you, He Yan!"

There are not only letters between He Yan and Prince Teng's mansion, but also the incidents and deeds that He Yan recorded in order to stay behind.

"My lord, since He Yan is really Prince Teng's man, then who killed him?"

Although He Yan's body has not yet appeared, King Teng and King Lian have basically confirmed his death since he left the court.

King Lian thought for a while, and was quite puzzled by this.Is it an accident?No, in the maelstrom of the imperial court, how many of them are really accidents?

This matter is indeed puzzling.

Chu Xuanzhao had no reason to kill him, nor should he have the courage.Could it be that He Yan posed a threat to King Teng?

For example, King Teng learned of his suspicions and was afraid that He Yan would be used instead, so he preempted him?

He felt that this was very possible and most in line with King Teng's character.
