Gu Min went back to Lanyue Zhai, dismissed the other maids and eunuchs who served him, leaving only Jiang Shuiping who hadn't closed his eyes and waited for him all night.

"You're finally back! You don't even know what I've been through this night. My heart has been hanging in my throat and I haven't come down. If you don't come back, I'll think something happened to you!" Jiang Shuiping stared at Tong With big eyes, Ling looked at Gu Min carefully from head to toe, reassured after confirming that there was no missing part on Gu Min, and then kept asking, "What happened when you went to the emperor's palace last night?" Did you come back? Why didn’t you come back all night? Was the... plan a success? "

Gu Min rubbed his forehead with one hand, and sat down behind him with the other hand, "You ask me so many questions at once, which one would you like me to answer first?"

Seeing that he looked a bit tired, Jiang Shuipi hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of hot tea, lowered his voice and said nervously, "Just tell me first, did you assassinate the little emperor last night?"

Gu Min took the teacup and drank half of it in a calm manner before saying, "No."

Jiang Shuiping wondered, "No? Then what have you been doing all night?"

Gu Min was too lazy to explain to him in detail, so he put down the teacup and said perfunctorily, "I'll explain this to you later, and now I'll find a way to send you out of the palace."

"Just me going out of the palace alone? You won't go?" Jiang Shuiping touched the back of his head, looking distressed, "Since you didn't attack the little emperor, the old dog must not be able to explain it. manage?"

"The emperor has ordered a retrial of the adoptive father's case, and the adoptive father will be fine for the time being." Gu Min got up and walked into the inner room. After a while, he took out a waist card from inside and handed it to Jiang Shuiping, and arranged in an orderly manner, "You take this To go out of the palace with a token, to find Wang Fuqianhu of Jinyiwei Shangyou, he is an old friend of the adoptive father in Beijing, and the adoptive father is now imprisoned in the imperial prison..."

At this point, a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "The imperial decree has arrived!"

Gu Min winked at Jiang Shuiping, Jiang Shuiping hurriedly put the waist badge into his arms, helped the crooked eunuch hat, lowered his head and went to open the door for the eunuch who passed the order, then stood behind Gu Min, and knelt down with him The next order.

"I respectfully invite the emperor to bow to Jinan!"

The eunuch who delivered the decree straightened his waist and said "I'm safe", then unfolded the imperial decree in his hand, and read aloud: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the decree says, always serve and care for mercy, be virtuous and respectful, have a good character, and be a gentleman." Legacy, from now on, you will be promoted to Young Lord, and you will be bestowed with Jin Yiwei to direct your affairs, this is yours!"

Gu Min frowned, then raised his hands above his head, and took the imperial decree from the hand of the eunuch, "I accept the decree, thank you Lord Long En!"

The eunuch passed the decree to support Gu Min graciously, and said with a smile: "Gu Shaojun, please get up quickly, our family is here to congratulate the young master on his promotion to the throne, and the young master has already received such favor from the emperor after only two days in the palace. It is just around the corner to become an official and rank, and I hope that the young master will take care of us more."

Gu Min waved his hand to ask Jiang Shuiping to reward the eunuch with the money, but there was not much joy on his face, he just smiled and said, "Eunuch, you are polite."

The eunuch who passed the decree accepted the money with a smile on his face, and said: "By the way, the emperor specifically told you to go to thank you later, and let Gu Shaojun stay in Lanyue Zhai to have a good rest. The emperor really cares for you a lot."

Jiang Shuiping couldn't help asking curiously: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, what is the rank of this young master?"

The eunuch passing the decree said with a smile: "The position of the young master is equivalent to that of a concubine, and he is the lord of the first palace. Well, our family has to go back to report to the emperor after passing the decree, and the young master should not send it away."

When the eunuch who passed the decree took the people away, Jiang Shuipi looked at Gu Min with a strange look, "After that, do I have to call you a lady?"

Gu Min flung his sleeves back to the room, threw the imperial decree on the table indifferently, and said coldly, "One more word indiscriminately, and I'll send you to the respect room and make you a eunuch."

Jiang Shuihu laughed generously twice, and after laughing, he suddenly turned his head, his expression suddenly became serious, "No, Gu Min, tell me the truth, what did you do in the emperor's palace last night? You just came back The emperor gave you a promotion and made you an official, so last night... you...wouldn't have really served the little emperor...to bed?"

Gu Minren stood alone in front of the window, with a lonely back, eyes closed and silent, as if she didn't want to recall what happened last night.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Shuipi understood the general idea in his heart, and he didn't dare to joke around anymore, touched his nose, racked his brains to comfort Gu Min: "Actually, it's nothing, just treat it as a shopping trip. Lou, a man is a man, and he doesn't care about chastity..."

Gu Min turned his head impatiently and looked at Jiang Shuipi expressionlessly, his eyes were cold, like a sharp dagger shot at Jiang Shuipi.

Jiang Shuiping suddenly felt a chill in his neck, couldn't help shrinking a bit, and smacked his mouth wisely, Hanhan smiled and said: "I won't say it, I won't say it, but what should we do now? Are you really still If you want to stay in this palace, what kind of young emperor will you be for the little emperor?"

Gu Min said indifferently: "Of course I don't want to be some kind of Laoshizi Shaojun. What I want is the position of Jin Yiwei's commander."

Jiang Shuiping disagreed: "The Jinyiwei is now controlled by a barbarian dog, and he has become the minion of Guo Jiuchen alone for a long time with Dongchang. If you join the Jinyiwei, how can you be alone?"

Gu Min remained silent, with his hands behind his back, his hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly, his nails had been deeply dug into his flesh, but he didn't seem to feel the pain.

Today, no matter whether it is a promotion or an official, it is not a kind of grace and glory to him, but a great shame. The imperial decree issued by the emperor is like a slap in the face. Reminding him how he got everything he got today.

A majestic seven-foot man wants to serve others with sex, how can he stand tall in the world in the future?

Gu Min held his breath and stared at the small sky above the palace with cold eyes. The humiliation he suffered today will be repaid a hundred times and a thousand times in the future!



Shen Ying spent a whole day reading memorials and books in Yongle Palace, in order to get familiar with the situation inside and outside the palace as soon as possible and the history of the Great Ying Dynasty.

It wasn't until the sun was setting outside that Shen Ying felt that the light in the room was gradually dimming, and her eyes began to struggle to read before she put down the book in her hand.

He rubbed the acupuncture points on his eyes twice, and asked Wan Zhongquan, who was waiting beside him, "What time is it?"

Wan Zhongquan: "Back to the emperor, it's three o'clock. You've been reading for two hours. Would you like to take a rest with a snack?"

Shen Ying was about to say yes, when suddenly a young eunuch came in from outside the palace, knelt at the gate of the palace and said: "My Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to Shou'an Palace."

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows, the queen mother is looking for him?This is a tough character.

"I see, you go and report to the Queen Mother, and I will be there soon."

Before going to see the queen mother, Shen Ying changed into a low-key ordinary clothes, and then drove to Shou'an Palace.

After this day of reading and studying, Shen Ying has roughly figured out the details of all the high-ranking and powerful people in the Da Ying Dynasty.

Today's Empress Dowager is surnamed Liu, and her mother's family is the Liu family, a prominent family in Weinan. The Empress Dowager Liu was not the first wife of Emperor Gaozong.

Later, because of the case of disgusting victory in the palace, the former empress and the former prince were involved, and they all committed suicide in fear of crime, so Liu Guifei's son was made the prince by Gaozong. After Gaozong passed away, Liu Guifei became the queen mother with his mother.

However, Empress Dowager Liu’s son, Fu Bo, died of an epidemic less than a year after he ascended the throne, and he never left her any heirs. Ascended the throne as the emperor.

Guo Jiuchen is the confidant of Empress Dowager Liu, and Du Qianren is the ally of Empress Dowager Liu, so it is self-evident who has the final say in the Great Ying Dynasty.

As for whether Shen Ying, the puppet emperor, should stand or fall, it's just a matter of his words.

The emperor's imperial chariot arrived outside the Shouan Palace, Shen Ying got off the imperial chariot and walked in. As soon as she entered the Shouan Palace, Shen Ying smelled a strong sandalwood fragrance. Empress Dowager Liu seemed to be a person who worshiped Buddha.

Empress Dowager Liu is sitting at the top of the hall. From her appearance, it can be seen that she was also a peerless beauty when she was young. Now she is well maintained and looks only in her early forties. Her temperament is very graceful and luxurious, but her body The dull color of the empress dowager's uniform made her look a little old-fashioned.

When Empress Dowager Liu saw Shen Ying coming in, she smiled and said, "The emperor is here."

Shen Ying saluted and said: "My son respectfully invites my mother's phoenix body to be safe."

Empress Dowager Liu said lovingly: "Ai's family is well, the emperor is free of courtesy, sit down, and someone will serve you tea."

"Please ask the emperor to bow to Jinan."

The voices of a woman and a child sounded together, and Shen Ying noticed that there were other guests here with Empress Dowager Liu.

Shen Ying looked over, and saw that it was a beautiful woman about 30 years old leading a boy of seven or eight years old. The woman was wearing a toffee uniform, and the boy was young, and he was wearing old clothes. They are all very precious, and they are the sons and grandsons of dragons at a glance.

Shen Ying knew in her heart that this mother and son must be Gao Zong's favorite concubine Shu Feng and youngest son Qi Wang Shen Han.

Concubine Feng's eyes were red as if she had cried. She is already the mother of an eight-year-old child, but she still has a charming posture like a delicate little white flower.

As for why Concubine Feng was crying, Shen Ying could probably guess.

I heard from the palace people that Concubine Feng would come to Shouan Palace to cry once in a while. She just wanted to ask Empress Dowager Liu to allow her to take King Qi to the fiefdom. Although the fiefdom is not as prosperous as the capital, it is better than being in the palace. Live by relying on others.

But how could Empress Dowager Liu agree? Although King Qi is young, he is also of the blood of Emperor Gaozong, and Emperor Jingchang is lewd and immoral.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Liu will definitely not let Concubine Feng Qi Wang and her son go to the fief. How can it be more reassuring than putting people under her nose?

Shen Ying avoided the ceremony from Concubine Feng's mother and son, sat down opposite them, looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "I wonder why the Queen Mother called me here today?"

It turns out that the little emperor and Empress Dowager Liu had no mother-child relationship, and Empress Dowager Liu never liked the absurd behavior of the little emperor, so she simply avoided the emperor's day and night. Only then did Emperor Xuan come to Shou'an Palace.

Empress Dowager Liu said leisurely: "I heard from the Ai family that the emperor recently accepted a new male favorite into the palace?"

Shen Ying secretly laughed in her heart, heh, the news spread so quickly, and it turned out that he was here for Gu Min's business, that's a great gesture.

"That's right." Shen Ying admitted generously, "Jun Shu is outstanding in appearance, gentle and respectful, and won my heart. Today, I have promoted him to be the young master."

Empress Dowager Liu had a little smile on her face just now, but now it's gone completely, "Aijia also heard that when the emperor summoned the cabinet ministers today, he insisted on retrialing the case of King Pingyang's treason?"

Shen Ying said: "Yes, what's wrong with that?"

Empress Dowager Liu asked with a dark face: "Aijia, let me ask you, who told you that King Pingyang was wronged? Is it that Gu Shaojun?"

Shen Ying lifted her chin lightly, with dissatisfaction between her brows: "So what? Since King Pingyang has been wronged, he should investigate thoroughly. You can't just sit back and watch loyal ministers die in vain. Then I will become a foolish king?"

Empress Dowager Liu snorted coldly and said: "Pingyang King's case will be finished by the three divisions, so what's the grievance? According to Ai's family, the emperor was instigated by villains, and that Gu Shaojun just wanted to sow discord between the emperor and the cabinet." , his heart can be punished!"

Shen Ying got up with a flick of her sleeves, with an angry expression on her face, "Impossible! Junshu is not such a person!"

Empress Dowager Liu seemed to be startled by the emperor's sudden outburst of anger, her face was a bit inconceivable, although the emperor was at odds with her, he always pretended to be respectful, and today he actually contradicted her for a mere male favorite.

It took a while for Empress Dowager Liu to come back to her senses, and she smiled angrily: "The emperor is so temperamental, you don't want to listen to it before you finish your mourning, don't you?"

Shen Ying took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down the anger in her heart, and then apologized to the Queen Mother again with a straight face: "I dare not."

He said he didn't dare, but the look on his face didn't look like he dared at all.

Concubine Feng, who was watching the play, saw the tense atmosphere between the emperor and the queen mother, and said weakly to smooth things over: "The queen mother calms down, the emperor is young and vigorous, and he has a new favorite pet. It is understandable to defend some words temporarily, or Then King Pingyang really has grievances, after all, you are mother and son, why bother to hurt the relationship between mother and son because of such a trivial matter, just speak calmly if you have something to say."

Shen Ying glanced at Concubine Feng, and Concubine Feng smiled kindly at him, Shen Ying looked away expressionlessly.

She wanted to please both sides, and neither side should be offended, but most of the seemingly impartial people have their own thoughts, not to mention that this is a former favorite concubine with a prince, he is not so stupid to believe that Concubine Feng will treat him Really kind.

Since he delivered it to the door by himself, don't blame him for taking advantage of it.

"I just want to retry the case. First, the grand master obstructed me in every possible way, and now the queen mother has come to teach me a lesson. I am an emperor, and I am not as comfortable as a random farmer!" Shen Ying suddenly shook her sleeve and pointed to the side. Shen Han, King Qi, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Instead of doing this, it is better to ask the Queen Mother to abolish me and become King Qi. Anyway, I have enough of this cage-like palace!"

The queen mother was furious when she heard the words, she slapped the table and said, "Emperor! Do you know what you are talking about?!"

Concubine Feng even rolled her eyes in fright, she slumped down from the chair and knelt down on the ground, looking at the Queen Mother weeping, and said in a sad voice: "Queen Mother! King Qi is still young, but he is nothing. A child who understands, how can he become the emperor of Daying? The courtiers and concubines dare not have such extravagant hopes, please be aware of the Queen Mother!" He pulled the dazed King Qi to kneel together, hugged his son and sobbed, "Your Majesty, King Qi has always respected and loved your elder brother, and he has never had the slightest arrogance, are you joking like this, do you want his life?"

Shen Ying looked at Concubine Feng who was crying like pear blossoms and rain, spread her hands and said indifferently: "Concubine Feng, I am not joking, anyway, I have no heirs, and it is uncertain whether I will have any in the future, so why don't I order Li Han The younger brother is the emperor's younger brother, and he will inherit the Great Ying Jiangshan in the future."

Concubine Feng seemed to be hit on the head by a pie that suddenly fell from the sky, her face was at a loss, but she finally stopped crying and looked at Shen Ying blankly, her expression seemed to say, "Really, you Are you serious?"

Empress Dowager Liu saw that Shen Ying's words became more and more irrelevant, her shoulders were shaking with anger, and she was afraid that he would do what he said and really decreed that King Qi would be the emperor's younger brother, so she didn't care about maintaining dignity, so she stood up and pointed at Shen Ying to reprimand Said: "Nonsense! Emperor, look at yourself, but you still have the slightest appearance of being a king! Aijia ordered you to kneel in front of the tablet of the ancestors and ancestors in Baohua Hall to reflect carefully. There is no Yijia's decree. Don't take a step out of Baohua Palace!"

Shen Ying had had enough trouble, and the purpose of fanning the flames was accomplished, she took the order to resign, turned around and left, and before she left the Shou'an Palace, she heard the Queen Mother gnashing her teeth and ordering the palace staff to go to Lanyue Zhai to pass on Gu Min.

Shen Ying pretended not to hear it, and left the gate of Shou'an Palace without looking back.

After walking outside the gate of Shou'an Palace, Wan Zhongquan, who was following beside him, hesitated to speak for a while, and finally couldn't help reminding the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't you stay to save Gu Shaojun?"

Shen Ying walked forward leisurely with her hands behind her back, "Didn't you hear what the queen mother said just now? The queen mother punished me to kneel in front of the tablet of my ancestors in Baohua Hall. I can't protect myself now. But the queen mother is not a tiger Since he doesn't know how to eat people, I think Jun Shu will be fine."

Wan Zhongquan approached the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten about Shiqing Lin?"

Shen Ying said casually: "Shiqing Lin? Who is it?"

Wan Zhong said with all his heart that it is true that the emperors have been so lucky since ancient times. Before that, they loved so much that they couldn't remember who they were when they turned around.He didn't want to talk too much at first, but he always felt that the emperor didn't trust him as much as before, so he wanted to take the opportunity to sell himself to the emperor.

"You doted on Lin Shiqing before, but Lin Shiqing only complained to the emperor about Du Shoufu's bad words in private, and the result was heard by the Queen Mother, who fined Lin Shiqing with twenty court rods, and Lin Shiqing's legs were broken on the spot."

Shen Ying's phoenix eyes lit up when she heard the words. Although she felt a little sympathetic to Lin Shiqing, who she didn't know, she couldn't help clapping her hands happily: "Oh? Is there such a thing?" That's really great!

Gu Min, Gu Min, I've already done everything that should help you, it depends on whether you can survive this disaster.

If you can survive even the queen mother's test, it means that the protagonist's halo really works. From now on, you will be my big brother, Shen Ying!

My sweetheart, please don't let me down.

The author has something to say:

Shen Ying: Focus on digging pits for Lao Gong for 100 years!

Gu Min: Are you not afraid that my leg will be broken?

Shen Ying: Then I can open the harem!
