Overwhelming mountains and rivers

Early the next morning, Chu Xuanzhao came to Yazhuxuan.The emperor announced his exemption from court in advance this time, so the courtiers did not go directly.

In this regard, Chu Xuanzhao said that he has long been used to it.

Shen Qingjun got up early, when he came, Shen Qingjun was practicing martial arts in the yard.

Chu Xuanzhao looked around, "Where's Valley Master Helian?"

"gone."

Helianxin said that since he had come to the north, he would go to Tianshan to find some things that could be used as medicine.So I left some more bottles and cans, and left early in the morning.

"Oh, he left in such a hurry." Chu Xuanzhao originally thought that he would stay here for at least a few days, but he didn't expect to leave so soon.

Seeing Shen Qingjun practicing martial arts, Chu Xuanzhao also felt a little itchy, since Shen Qingjun moved out, he hasn't sparred with him yet.

But before he could make a move, a branch cut off by the sword energy flew straight towards him.

He hastily unfolded the folding fan and swung it back, but his wrist was numb from the shock, and the branch was wrapped with an internal force.

He finally understood that it was not careless, but Shen Qingjun's intention.

Alas, with the last teacup, this is the second time I have been "attacked".

Last time, it could be said that Chu Xuanqing didn't want Chu Xuanqing to find out that the two cups were suspicious, and it was too late to clean them up, but this time it was purely to fight against each other.

Chu Xuanzhao understood, held his fan and attacked him, but he turned around and intercepted him.

Shen Qingjun narrowed his eyes slightly, "The sixth floor?"

He obviously felt that this time it was more laborious than the previous confrontation.

"Well, it's all thanks to the cabinet master's suggestion."

The so-called reminder is just an occasional confrontation between the two, but during this time, there really is no such thing.

The two went back and forth for a while, Chu Xuanzhao saw that he was sweating slightly, and then slowly withdrew his hand.In today's season, it is only cooler in the morning.

Shen Qingjun took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, glanced at Chu Xuanzhao's sweaty forehead, then took out a handkerchief and gave it to him.

Chu Xuanzhao took it in his hand, a little unhappy, he originally wanted to wait for him to finish wiping, and use the piece in his hand.

Chu Xuanzhao stared at the handkerchief in his hand, with a bitter face, "Qingjun, where did you get so many white handkerchiefs, do you still sell handkerchiefs in your pavilion?"

"..."

"Return it if you don't want to use it." Shen Qingjun glanced at him, really poor.

"Use it, why don't you use it."

While the two were talking, a sound of reply interrupted them.

"Pavilion Master, Li Shangnuo is visiting." Zhu Qing and Bi Yuan walked in, walked around Chu Xuanzhao, and bowed to Shen Qingjun.

"Please come in."

"Why is he here again?" This Li Shangnuo, what he said about himself before, oh, 'really, hardworking'!

"Li has met the young master, oh, His Royal Highness Xin Wang is also here?" Li Shangnuo was also surprised, he knew that they had a good relationship, but he didn't expect that when he came early in the morning, Xin Wang was already here.I came three times and met King Xin twice.

The three of them walked into the pavilion in the back garden and sat down on the stone bench.

"My lord is so elegant that he actually played it in the garden early in the morning." When Li Shangnuo came in, he saw Shen Qingjun standing there holding a flute in one hand, so he naturally thought that he was playing it before.

Chu Xuanzhao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood his train of thought, and patted his head in embarrassment.

"Just as you please." Shen Qingjun was extremely calm.

Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help admiring it, not only because he was calm, but it was not a lie, it was just a matter of whim, but he didn't say that he was playing as he liked, and practicing martial arts as he liked was also a matter of whim.

"Master Li."

"Huh? Young Master Mo Yuan?" Li Shangnuo's expression changed, it was the first time he had heard Young Master Mo Yuan call himself that.

"To be honest, I want to help King Xin, and I hope Mr. Li will not hesitate to support you."

"Qingjun!" Chu Xuanzhao was shocked, he didn't expect him to say it so directly.When he opened his mouth, he realized that he had called out his name out of desperation. He was at a loss for a while, and turned his head to look at Li Shangnuo, not knowing how to make up for it.

For a moment, the three fell into silence.

After a while, Shen Qingjun simply expressed his sincerity with this, "My surname is Shen, and my name is Qingjun."

"Shen Qingjun, I know the sincerity of the son. But, dare to ask His Royal Highness Xin Wang, do you want to fight for it?" Li Shangnuo saw that King Lian and King Teng were wooing various factions, and he was very conflicted. If King Xin Also, but, those who can get Mr. Mo Yuan to help...

Chu Xuanzhao bowed deeply, "Xuanzhao only wants to look up to the sky and not to be ashamed of the people."

Li Shangnuo hurriedly returned the gift.

"I understand."

"Xuan Zhao doesn't dare to say that he will become the wise emperor through the ages, but if Xuan Zhao can sit in that position, he will definitely clean up the inside and outside, and reorganize our Dayuan River and Mountain."

"Since your Highness is like this, Li dares not obey."

"Thank you." Chu Xuanzhao saluted again.

Li Shangnuo agreed, not only because of Chu Xuanzhao's willingness and humility, but most importantly, he believed in Mr. Mo Yuan's choice.

...............

Because of He Yan's death, King Teng focused on King Lian completely, trying to find traces of him killing He Yan, and sued him for murdering a fourth-rank official of the court.

However, because He Yan is the eye of King Teng, King Lian hates King Teng and wants to die.

Under the calm surface of the lake, dark waves are raging, and King Lian is weak. In just two months, the few available people around him were almost removed one by one by King Teng. But the foundation has not moved.

King Teng pursued fiercely, and Chu Xuanzhao and Shen Qingjun secretly contributed to the flames. Although King Lian still guarded the throne, he actually became an empty shell.

In the past two months, it is not that Prince Teng has never thought of attacking Chu Xuanzhao, but Chu Xuanzhao is different from Prince Lian, and he is not as divided as the two in the court, so he can get rid of his supporters first. It is almost impossible to deal with him, it is simply a seamless egg.

It is even more difficult to find an opportunity to directly attack him.Chu Xuanzhao has become familiar with its operation and handling methods in less than half a month since he entered the Ministry of Education. King Teng had secretly manipulated several times, but Chu Xuanzhao resolved them one by one, as if he had expected his own actions. generally.

This made King Teng almost doubt whether there was a "He Yan" beside him.But after many trials of his subordinates, he got nothing in the end.

…………

One day, when King Teng was taking a nap in the garden of the palace, Liu Feng came all the way to find him, his face almost overflowing with joy.

"Good news?"

Chu Xuanqing lazily leaned on the imperial concubine's couch under the cave corridor, and the graceful woman peeled a grape and brought it to his mouth.

"Reporting to the prince, it is indeed good news, the child of Prince Lian's mansion is gone."

"Oh? It's gone? This news is really sad. Why is it gone? It's Concubine Zhao?"

Before that, the people he sent came back and said that side concubine Zhao didn't look like anything on the surface, but when she saw He Li'er, she just asked for her care and warmth, and everyone in the house said that they had the best relationship.However, those who were staring at him found that Concubine Zhao was cursing He Li'er in secret.

Therefore, King Teng ordered his subordinates to keep a close eye on Concubine Zhao, and if necessary, they could "don't hesitate to give pointers". Thinking about it, now there is a result.

"No, it's not. The low-ranking people kept staring at her. Unexpectedly, He Li'er's child would be gone before we even took any action."

"Oh?" King Teng straightened up, with a little more interest in his eyes.

"The people who stared at the other concubines didn't find anything unusual. Could it be an accident?" Liu Feng was a little puzzled.

"Hmph, accident? Do you believe this? If you talk about ordinary people's homes, there may be accidents. In this palace gate, where there are many concubines, how can there be so many accidents?" Chu Xuanqing stood up. , looking at the bright white clouds with his hands behind his back, "The inner courtyard of the palace, like the clouds gathering and dispersing in autumn, is always impermanent."

"What the lord said is."

Chu Xuanqing smiled, "The hearts of women are the most vicious. It seems that there are far more people wanting this child's life in Prince Lian's Mansion than we imagined. Never offend a woman, because a woman's ruthlessness is more terrifying than a man. "

He turned around and raised the chin of the woman beside him with one finger, "You said, didn't you?"

The woman flinched, not daring to raise her head, "Yes, no, no..."

Chu Xuanqing ignored her answer, turned to look at Liu Feng, "Zhao Concubine didn't move?"

"No, Concubine Zhao has given He Li'er several times of anti-abortion medicine, but the humble staff secretly checked the medicine bowl, it is undoubtedly anti-abortion medicine. The humble official guessed that Concubine Zhao did not do it by accident, she probably wanted to give it to He Lier. It's really an anti-abortion drug, wait for He Li'er to lower his guard, and then replace the drug with an abortion drug."

"She is careful."

"Yes. My lord, no matter who is doing this, our goal has been achieved."

"Ah."

…………

Prince Teng's mansion was pleasant, but Prince Lian's mansion was in chaos.

"Check! Give me a good check!"

"Yes Yes."

"My lord, my lord must make the decision for my concubine and her unborn child!" He Li'er was lying on the bed, her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was full of tears, and she was extremely haggard.

"Li'er, think about it carefully, what else have you eaten besides what you made in your own small kitchen?" Prince Lian's mood was not much better than hers, not to mention that this was his first child, but to say His expectations for this child...

Now he has only one title left, all pointing at this child to help him regain his father's favor, now...

Now, it can be said that there is no way out.

"It's just that the princess comes to deliver some health-preserving porridge every day, and Concubine Zhao occasionally gives birth control pills a few times." Although He Lier resented that the princess took the princess's seat, she didn't think that the princess would kill her child people.

The concubine has always been soft-tempered, and after the accident in the Lu family, she stayed behind closed doors. After she knew that she had a child, she was also very happy, and she sighed that the prince finally had a queen.

Besides, the concubine's health porridge is delivered every day. If the concubine wanted it, the child would have died long ago.Moreover, she was not without vigilance, and every time she had to have the health-preserving porridge seen by the doctor beside her, she would drink it.

On the contrary, Concubine Zhao, they have a good relationship, and they drank the anti-fetal medicine a few times and they were all fine, so they didn't check it much after that.

"My lord, I think side concubine Zhao is the most likely."

"Oh?"

"My lord doesn't know something. Concubine Zhao occasionally gives me an anti-fetal medicine. Before my concubine gave birth, I just drank the anti-fetal medicine she sent."

"Come here! Order side concubine Zhao to get over here!"

…………

When Chu Xuanzhao was about to go out to Yazhuxuan, Feng Er came in a hurry, followed by a man in his 30s.

The man has a grim face with sharp edges and corners, a slight beard on his chin, and a plain black suit.

Chihua, the once iron-faced gentleman, is now the master of Qianjilou.

"Zong Chihua pays his respects to the landlord."

"Master Zong, why did you come here in person? But what's the important news?" Zong Chihua has been managing Qianji Building on behalf of Chu Xuanzhao, and he is regarded as the owner of the building. Chu Xuanzhao and the people in the building call him the owner of the building. .

"Yes, the Anbu I sent out received news that the side concubine of Prince Lian's mansion had a miscarriage."

"Oh? Let's go in and talk."

Chu Xuanzhao was standing at the door of the study, and when he heard his words, he let him into the study sideways.

"The lord sit down."

"Thank you, sir. That's it. After about midnight last night, the side concubine of Lian Wang suddenly had abdominal pain. I can already tell the difference between male and female, it is a boy, King Lian is furious, and he is now strictly investigating the mansion."

"Oh, what did the imperial doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said it was an accident, but King Lian didn't believe it, so he asked the imperial doctor to check all the concubine's diet yesterday, and the results were all normal and not toxic."

"No poison? Is it really an accident?" Chu Xuanzhao murmured. Like King Lian and King Teng, he didn't believe it was an accident at all.

"For now, yes."

"Well, if there are any other details, let's talk about it." He turned back to let Shen Qingjun ponder, Shen Qingjun was always keen, maybe he could find something.

"Yes, people from the Anbu said that they found Prince Teng's people in Prince Lian's mansion, but they did not startle the snake. The people of King Teng seem to be very interested in Concubine Zhao."

"Concubine Zhao?"

"Yes. Concubine Zhao has always had a good relationship with Concubine He who is pregnant. However, it's only on the bright side. It's not an exaggeration to say that Concubine Zhao is jealous of Concubine He in private."

"Oh, could it be this side concubine Zhao?"

King Teng definitely didn't want this child to be born. Since he was eyeing Concubine Zhao, it was possible that he would add fuel to the flames and instigate Concubine Zhao to do something.

"It's hard to say. Concubine Zhao occasionally gave Concubine He some anti-abortion medicine, but Concubine He was safe and sound after giving it a few times."

"Could it be that the previous few times were all she made up to lower Concubine He's defense? Did we check the anti-fetal drug this time together?"

"I've checked, everything is normal. But we checked the medicine jars, oh, yes, the people from Prince Teng's Mansion also checked. After all, it's not so easy for us to check, we can only check the medicine jars and bowls. As for the other processes, Nothing can be guaranteed."
