For many years since Concubine Shu left, the Empress and Concubine Zhen have always checked and balanced each other in the harem. Now that the Empress has suddenly collapsed, Concubine Zhen is left alone, and it will be a matter of time before she becomes empress.

In such a situation, Xie Yuan and Zhao Minsheng just didn't expect that Concubine Zhen's actions would be so fast.

It has only been more than half a month since the death of the empress, and inside and outside the court, no matter whether it is the former court or the harem, some rumors can already be vaguely heard.

Although Zhao Minsheng had emerged recently and had accumulated a lot of contacts in the court because of this, but after Concubine Shu passed away, the harem still became his major weakness.

It is precisely because of this that Concubine Zhen dares to be so rampant now.

Sitting in the study, Xie Yuan looked at Zhao Minsheng, who was eating grapes in a serious manner, and pursed his lips in concern.

Ever since the two of them expressed their love for each other in the carriage that day, Zhao Minsheng has been eating, living and traveling with Xie Yuan all the time. Know very clearly.

At this moment, the Empress has fallen and the Empress is vacant, the most urgent thing for Zhao Minsheng to do right now is to prevent Concubine Zhen from being empress.

And to achieve this step, the best way is to rely on Zhao Minsheng, who is the bond between the emperor and Concubine Shu, and bring up the old matter again.

Although this method is effective, it also means that the deepest sadness in Zhao Minsheng's memory will be uncovered inch by inch.

That was the first time the young Zhao Minsheng came into contact with the word death so categorically, but the person he came into contact with was his mother who he relied on the most.

Zhao Minsheng never said that memory, but Xie Yuan always remembered it in his heart.

On a snowy winter day in the previous life, Zhao Minsheng stood facing the beam at the gate of his concubine's palace for a long time, and the eunuchs around him finally pulled him away until the snow fell and turned his head white.

That was the first time he came into contact with the cruelty and filth in this imperial palace. Xie Yuan hid behind the rockery near him and watched the whole process with a heartbroken heart.

Everyone in the palace said that Concubine Shu Gui died by committing suicide, but only Zhao Minsheng, who had witnessed the scene with his own eyes, and Xie Yuan, who was hiding behind the rockery, knew the truth of the matter.

Those dark brown spots on Concubine Shu's arms that day were definitely not what a person who committed suicide by hanging from a beam should have.

Zhao Minsheng saw this, but he couldn't say anything.

In this life, although the cause of Concubine Shu Gui’s death has changed, from hanging herself to dying of depression, what has changed is actually just a statement made by the perpetrator afterwards. Whether it is depression or suicide, those born on human arms The dark brown spots have not changed throughout.

Afterwards, Zhao Minsheng also asked Xu Xian about this, what exactly caused people to leave such plaques on the body after death, and the answer he got was probably the same as he thought, taking poison.

However, from Zhao Minsheng's description, Xu Xian deduced that this kind of poison should be uncommon and relatively rare, so if he wanted to find it, he would have to spend a lot of time and energy.

Even Xu Yuanju never gave up searching, but before Zhao Minsheng died in his previous life, he still hadn't found this poison.

Simply the real culprit who did this has already confessed when he ascended the throne, so Zhao Minsheng can clearly know that the instigator of this incident is Concubine Zhen.

So all they had to do next was to find evidence that could identify her.

Xie Yuan looked at Zhao Minsheng, who had been stunned for a long time with a grape in his hand, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and sighed softly. Pulling it down and avenging his mother and concubine is what Zhao Minsheng must do next.

But as long as he sees Zhao Minsheng like this, Xie Yuan still feels sour in his heart.

Just like when he hid behind the rockery and saw the back of the boy standing alone in the snow for the first time.

Zhao Minsheng was sitting by the desk, constantly rubbing the ill-fated purple grape in his hands, but he didn't know where he went with the memories of that year.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much. As long as there are servants, we will do our best to help His Highness find out what happened back then."

At this time, Zhao Minsheng was still immersed in the memories of the past. It was not until he was awakened by Xie Yuan's words that he finally suddenly realized that he had been unconsciously stunned for a long time. .

"Well, with the Dugong here, I don't have to worry."

That one of the best grapes, under Zhao Minsheng's unconscious rubbing, has become unedible. Feeling the slightly sticky juice flowing from his fingertips, Zhao Minsheng couldn't help shaking Shaking his head, he threw the broken grape aside, then took a new one from the fruit plate, peeled the skin three times, and put it into the mouth of Xie Yuan who was frowning in front of him.

"You don't have to worry too much about my affairs, I have a measure."

As Zhao Minsheng said, he peeled another grape and threw it into his mouth, but in an instant, he frowned sourly.

"Wow, it's so sour, teacher, you don't show any expression after eating it."

The grapes are purple and black, and they are big and plump. At first glance, people think they will be delicious, but in fact they are so sour. Each one is like a sour little bomb. , wearing a bluffing sugar coating, just to trick you into putting it in your mouth unsuspectingly, and then explode all of a sudden, hitting every taste bud in your mouth.

"Your Highness hasn't tasted it yet. If my expression is too exaggerated, wouldn't Your Highness stop putting it in his mouth? You have to experience everything."

Zhao Minsheng was stunned by the sour grapes, frowned and squeezed his eyes, but he did not forget to be surprised at what Xie Yuan said at this time.

This is the first time that a person no longer calls himself a slave in front of him, but directly calls me, and it is also the first time that a person abandons those rules and regulations, and just jokes with himself so naturally and directly.

After hearing people say this, Zhao Minsheng was almost stunned for a few seconds before he dared to believe his ears, and laughed from the bottom of his heart at Xie Yuan's change.

"Okay, the teacher dares to bully me now, and after bullying me, he gave such a high-sounding reason, see if I don't deal with you well."

As Zhao Minsheng said, he got up from his seat and pressed towards Xie Yuan very quickly.
