Not long after Shu Weiyan left, the sky began to drizzle, and her mood didn't get worse because of the weather, but she became happier.

Seeing such aggrieved Shu Qingqian, she is in a really good mood now.

Now that Huangfu Hong is already the crown prince, she only needs to wait for the emperor to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as soon as the emperor dies. She can't wait.

There are three more years, three years later the emperor will die.

Shu Qingqian looked at the weather outside the window and frowned, then asked Lian'er to find a cloak for herself, and she was ready to go out.

Lian'er was a little worried, "Miss, it's raining outside, we'd better wait for the weather to clear before going out, otherwise you'll catch the wind and cold again."

Shu Qing frowned slightly, "It's just light rain, it doesn't get wet on my clothes, it's nothing serious, I don't know how long the spring rain will last, I can't wait."

Lian'er had no choice but to fetch the cloak and put it on for Shu Qingqian, "Miss, where are we going?"

Shu Qingqian stepped into the carriage, "Go to Phoenix Mountain."

The carriage went all the way to the outskirts of the city and passed the Liuxian Poetry Club. Today's Liuxian Poetry Club is different from last time. There are not many people very quiet. The carriage did not stop and went directly to a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. No one knew that Shu Qing had talked about it. What, but she stayed for three full hours before returning.

It was getting dark when Shu Qingqian came back. Shu's father asked where his daughter was going in the afternoon. Shu Qingqian only said that he went to a Taoist temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. At that time, you can no longer walk around freely.

Back in her room, Shu Qingqian had just closed the door when a masked man in black jumped off the beam.

Before Shu Qingqian could speak, the man in black took out a suet jade pendant engraved with a python pattern, and Shu Qingqian recognized at a glance that it was what Xiao Congyun often wore before, and guessed who it was.

"Are you sent by Xiao Congyun?"

The man in black said respectfully: "Yes, the general expected that he would be in danger before, and he said at that time that we would come to you after the accident. If Miss Shu has any requests, we will do our best to serve you."

It seems that Xiao Congyun had already figured out that such a day would happen to him.

Shu Qingqian suddenly opened her eyes, "Xiao Congyun is a woman's business, you should all know that, right?"

The man replied without hesitation, "General Xiao has been a soldier all her life. She used to charge and fight on the battlefield, defending her family and country, going through fire and water for her brothers. I don't know how many people she saved. What difference does it make if she is a man or a woman? They are all our most respected heroes, and our Xiao family army will always obey the orders of General Xiao.”

"She is now being held in the sky prison. What if I ask you to rescue her?"

"Rescuing General Xiao is our wish, and we will never hesitate to die."

"Not urgent.."

Shu Qingqian was very satisfied with the other party's answer, and could see Xiao Congyun's charisma, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who would be so upset about her.

The Sky Prison is different from others. It has always been used to imprison relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials who have power for a while. The guards are extremely strict, and it is generally impossible to break in.

Shu Qingqian knew that this matter needs to be planned slowly and cannot be rushed for a while.

But there was one person she might be able to use.

"Go tonight and help me tell the third prince a word. If he still wants to be emperor, please cooperate with me."

The third prince, Huangfu Lian, was born to Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian is a kind person, she is Xiao Congyun's cousin, so she should not ignore this matter.

Huangfu Lian's personality is relatively gentle, although he is not weak in all aspects, he is not particularly outstanding. In general, he is a bit mediocre. In addition, he is not as good as Huangfu Hong in coaxing people, so the position of crown prince falls on his elder brother. He can only be full of disappointment, waiting for the king to have his own territory in the future.

He was just about to fall asleep that night, but unexpectedly a man in black appeared suddenly and brought him a word that was enough to disturb his mind.

Huangfu Lian tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time, finally decided to give it a go.

After the man in black left the Prince's Mansion, he went directly to the prison.

Xiao Congyun has a special status, she is alone in a prison cell, and no one dares to abuse her, so she looks neat and not worn down.

"You came."

"Yes, General."

"What did she say?"

The man in black told the general about Shu Qingqian's plan, and Xiao Congyun quickly understood what Shu Qingqian wanted to do.

She couldn't help but smiled, admiring Shu Qingqian very much, the other party was indeed a wise and close demon.

That being the case, she can't hold back and mobilize all the secret lines she has hidden in Beijing for many years. Although she has stayed in Mobei for many years, it does not mean that she has no power in Beijing. The Xiao family army that once made people fear is still in her hands. superior.

……

On this day, the emperor hugged the new beauty, lamenting in his heart that time is not forgiving. After all, he is old, and his body seems to be a little weak.

At this moment, the eunuch next to him presented a white jade bottle, "Your Majesty, this medicine was made by a very powerful alchemist in the folk, and it can prolong life after taking it."

The emperor didn't believe it, so he called the imperial doctor to examine it. After the imperial doctor checked, he found that the elixirs were not poisonous, they were all tonics. The emperor took one at ease, and felt that he was ten years younger that night. , Even Concubine Xian praised him for his radiant face and high spirits.

The emperor was overjoyed and regarded the medicine as a treasure.

At this time, the eunuch remembered what the third prince had told him, and said, "Your Majesty, I also heard that the reason why this expert is so powerful is because he accidentally obtained an ancient elixir formula, which contains the method of refining the elixir of immortality. However, the medicinal materials written in the prescription are really rare, so he has not refined them."

After the emperor heard this, his heart moved, "It's normal that an ordinary Taoist priest can't collect it, but there are countless rare medicinal materials in my palace. You go and get him to the palace to make alchemy for me. If he really succeeds, then I will give it to you." Make him a national teacher."

The eunuch arranged the matter, and the emperor even set up a palace for the Taoist priest who came from outside the palace to make alchemy. Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was making people make immortal pills.

In fact, the emperor was somewhat skeptical about this Taoist priest outside the palace, but he secretly asked the imperial doctor to check and found that the other party used medicinal materials that were good for the body and did not poison him, so he gradually felt relieved.

Within a few days, the Taoist priest made a elixir, and the emperor felt refreshed after taking it. This time, he really felt that his whole body was transparent and his spirit was high.

The emperor was overjoyed, and rewarded the Taoist priest with a lot of gold and silver treasures.

The Taoist categorically refused, expressing that he didn't care about these mortal things, but this elixir of immortality needs to be taken for a long time to be effective, and he must continue to eat it.

The emperor trusted the other party more and more, and directly named him a national teacher, and asked him to continue refining elixirs for himself.

Shu Weiyan naturally heard about this.

She had secretly observed the emperor in the past few days, and found that the emperor seemed to be getting younger and younger, refreshed, and a little anxious.

Looking at the emperor's appearance, not only will he not return to the west in three years, but he will live longer. By then, he will be old and have grandchildren. If the emperor is not dead, then his dream of becoming a queen will be in vain.

Shu Weiyan didn't believe in any immortality pill at first, but when she thought of being reborn, she couldn't help but believe in this kind of thing, and felt that there was really an expert.

You can't sit still and do something about it.

Shu Weiyan took out the jade bottle that Lin had given her before again.The medicine in this jade bottle was what she took for Shu Qingqian that day, and now there is still some left in it, so she asked the maid to secretly go to the imperial dining room to add it to the emperor's food.

Sure enough, soon the emperor's health deteriorated and his temper became violent.

At first, he thought that there was something wrong with the pill, so he arrested the national teacher and questioned him, but the national teacher swore that there was no problem with the pill, and someone must be trying to harm His Majesty.

The emperor asked the imperial doctor to investigate carefully, and finally found that someone had added an extremely rare herbal medicine to the emperor's health-preserving soup. This kind of medicine cannot be detected by ordinary silver needles. There is a loophole.

When the emperor found out the truth of the matter, he was furious and made people turn the whole palace upside down.

In the end, the drug was found in the room of the prince's side concubine in the East Palace.

Shu Weiyan was full of confidence at first, thinking that this medicine would never be discovered by anyone, but she didn't expect it to be exposed so soon, she was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Huangfu Hong didn't expect such a thing to happen, and directly slapped Shu Weiyan hard on the face, "What's going on?"

Shu Weiyan hurriedly begged for mercy, "Prince, this medicine is not mine, and I don't know where it came from. Someone must have set me up, Prince, please help me."

Huangfu Hong naturally knew that this kind of thing should not be easily admitted, otherwise he would not be able to escape the responsibility at that time, so he kicked Shu Weiyan again, "Useless things, I don't even know that outsiders sneaked into my room."

Afterwards, Huangfu Hong personally confessed his mistake to his father, saying that he was not strict in discipline, "Father, my son was willing to risk his life to save you, so how could he harm you? It must be because someone framed his son and coveted the crown prince's life." bit."

Huangfu Hong's words secretly directed the disaster to the third prince.

The emperor thought of the past, and finally waved his hand to let Huangfu Hong back down.

Although on the surface it seemed that the matter was let go, there was still a rift between the two of them.

"Cough cough..."

Sitting in the empty hall, the emperor clenched his right fist to his lips, still couldn't help coughing a few times, and sighed after watching his son leave.

"Tell me, does this really have nothing to do with Hong'er?"

The eunuch beside him replied cautiously, "I don't know, the prince is so filial after all."

The emperor excitedly patted the dragon case, "It seems that Hong'er really thinks that I am old and confused, he was filial before because he was just a prince, but now he is a prince, as long as I die, he can ascend the throne as emperor. "

After taking a deep breath, the emperor smiled wryly again, "The one who wants me to die most is probably him."

The eunuch watched his nose, nose, and heart, and dared not speak too much.

……

Shu Qingqian, who was far away in the Shu Mansion, heard all this, and just smiled lightly.

The capital city looks calm on the surface, but in fact it has already been raging.

Looking out of the window, I stretched out my hand, and the wind slipped through my fingers.

Muttered: "The wind is blowing."

At this time, Lian'er came in with Feng Guanxia in her arms, "Miss, this is a newly made wedding dress, Da Furen asked me to send it over for you to try on, and see if it fits, do you want to modify it?"

Shu Qingqian looked at the wedding dress and smiled, in a good mood, "Maybe I won't need it anymore."

Lian'er didn't know why, so she raised her head and looked at the young lady strangely, she was going to get married in a few days, why did she feel that the young lady was not in a hurry at all, instead she looked calm and indifferent.
