Are you stupid?

Mu Huaiyuan was the first to leave the palace, and Shenlong prepared many things for Mu Huaiyuan when he left.Although they were all labeled as "losing the bet", when Shen Yu and Gu Nian also bid farewell to Shenlong, he ordered six identical gifts and sent them to the homes of fellow readers, finally erasing the outside world's suspicion of Mu Huaiyuan. Malicious guesses also let the courtiers know that the prince is not ignorant of world affairs, and they feel relieved of him a lot.

Emperor Taixing didn't mention Shenlong's "recovery", so he continued to cultivate in Chengqing Palace.

Every morning, Shenlong regards the sound of Xiaolu reciting the memorial as the background music for gardening flowers and plants, and when it's time to go to Fengqi Temple for breakfast, Xiaolu doesn't have to appear in front of him all day long to get in the way.

Today, Shenlong had dinner in Empress Cui's palace as usual, and he talked about the plum blossoms he raised with a smile, "Bauhinia said before that I fertilized the plum trees to make the palace stinky. The flowers are more abundant than in previous years. I specially picked a plum blossom and put it in a bottle and brought it here. The queen mother should arrange it properly, it is more pleasant than the taste and spices."

No matter how the spices are lit, they are a bit weird, far less refreshing and pleasant than the natural aroma.

Empress Cui handles palace affairs, arranges things, and has to talk a lot every day. Her voice is not very good, and lighting incense is a very burdensome thing for her.

Shenlong knew that his mother had a bad voice, so every time it was flowering season, she would bring some to please Empress Cui.

Empress Cui was almost used up. When she heard that her son was sending flowers, she immediately put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Hurry up and bring the flowers from the crown prince."

A plum blossom with elegant posture protruded from the dark red long-necked bottle, and an astonishing number of flower buds were crowded on the thin and bony branches, like a slender girl who insisted on carrying a bag that exceeded her own weight, so that the plum blossoms grew somewhat. Oddly stubborn.

Empress Cui likes this kind of tenacious vitality, even though the density of flowering is not in the aesthetics of the time, she still smiles.

When Empress Cui was happy, she accidentally blurted out: "Shenlong is still caring, thinking about me for every good thing, unlike Xingye..."

Shenlong's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his eyes to look at Empress Cui.

He didn't know if it was because he was too sensitive to staring at the prince who might harm him in the harem recently, but Queen Cui's subconsciously dodging eyes really made Shenlong unable to be careless.

He looked at Empress Cui silently, without urging Empress Cui to answer, but Empress Cui couldn't bear it in Shenlong Kuanhe's calm eyes.

She looked disappointed, and did not hide what her youngest son had done, "Xingye jumped out today and told me that your health is failing, and he asked to entertain the envoys in your place."

Empress Cui frowned puzzledly, and her big bright eyes were full of doubts: "I don't think I have ever neglected the teaching of Xingye, why did he come up with such a whimsical thing? Could it be that you are not in good health, can you compare to Xingye?" Is he worse?"

"Xingye?" Shenlong was also a little dazed, and shook his head after a while, "I think the person hiding behind the scenes is probably not him."

Empress Cui nodded, "I also think it's not him, or he was just coaxed to take the initiative as a shield, so people have been keeping an eye on the movement of the harem. There is no one who has contacted with the servants in Xingye Palace. In the end, I never told you."

Queen Cui noticed that Shenlong had also put down his chopsticks, and said to him, "Walk with me in the palace to eliminate food."

Going for a walk right after breakfast?It seems that the queen mother has something to say.

Shenlong followed Empress Cui, and the mother and son walked slowly in the huge Fengqi Palace. Empress Cui stuffed a purse into Shenlong, and said softly: "After you gave things to your companions, Gu Shilang's wife entered the room yesterday. Gong Xie'en, thank you for taking care of her son in the palace with a lot of things. I looked at the gift list, and they were all ordinary things. Only this purse was written by Mrs. Gu Shilang and asked the palace staff to present it. , Open it up, and there is indeed something inside."

"You are 'restoring' and have never left the palace; Gu Nian can't enter and leave the palace at will. Gu Jian's inability to send in news is probably a way his wife came up with." Empress Cui shook her head with a smile, "This way is too risky. I have already signaled Mrs. Gu not to do it again, but the contents inside are specially sent for you, you can take a look. In the future, you need to decide on such intrigues, so I won't interfere to disturb your thinking. "

"I don't mind my mother looking at it." Shenlong took out the folded letter paper from his purse and flattened it, on which was written in detail the content of the interrogation from the Hu people of Feng Min's clan and the horse dealers.

Empress Cui refused Shenlong to share her watching palm, shook her head and said, "I hate what Mu Huaiyuan said at the beginning, but he is right. Power is like a monster, and it will make people not like themselves. The power Things, once you touch your hands, you will always think about not wanting to let go, the more you get, the more dissatisfied. I don't want to ruin our mother-child relationship because of rights."

Empress Cui smiled helplessly, "Silly boy, your mother is not a saint without desires and desires, so don't think too well of me."

"Mother, you are the best. You have always been too self-effacing. You dare not touch the power of the previous dynasty not because it will feed your desire for power, but because the etiquette prevents all women from touching power and shakes their rule. That's all. It's much better when the mother and the queen are in charge of the country's affairs, than those bastard emperors who are doing things wrong." Shenlong is not a stubborn old man of this era, and he doesn't think there is a difference in mental activity between men and women.

There are only smart people and stupid people in this world, and it has nothing to do with gender.

Of course, Empress Cui also understands that the use of the brain has nothing to do with gender, but how can such shocking words be said casually, if it is spread, it will cause an uproar in the court.

She turned pale with fright, and stopped Shenlong from further speaking with a startled sound, and repeatedly warned: "Shenlong, you must be more careful when talking outside, don't be so casual."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, there is no one outside worthy of my 'nonsense'." While chatting with Queen Cui, Shenlong read the interrogation results of the adventure sent to the palace.

After Shenlong took Feng Min's family away, he sent them to the Gu family and returned to the palace. Later, in order to find out what was hidden in it, far more than a few officials were alarmed.

The horse dealer thought that the young man who appeared in the market by accident could cause the specially bred horses to "go wrong", and he could guess with his knees that he must be a very popular and high-status prince and nobleman.The group of Hu slaves helped him with the deadly work, and finally got such a golden thigh, how could they be willing to continue to be man slaves under Xiao Langjun and be driven by others?They will definitely tell the secrets they have in order to give themselves another chance to climb up.

Thinking of the terrible future, the horse merchant immediately gave up everything and fled directly outside the city.

After Shenlong stuffed people into Gu Jian's mansion, he returned to the palace in style, but Gu Jian, as the servant of the household department, could not take care of things like investigating cases and chasing down the murderer.Anyway, the crown prince sent people here in a dignified way, so Gu Jian didn't hide his back, and directly sent his servants to invite all the officials from Dali Temple, Tingwei Mansion, and Jingzhao. Prince.

This is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest. Dali Temple directly came to "invite" Hu Ren and Gu Jian to the office for a conversation. Ting Wei squatted in the office of Dali Temple and followed up with inquiries. Jingzhao found that the horse merchant had already run out of the capital. Immediately sent officials straight to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to ask for help, quickly drew a portrait of a horse merchant, and after clarifying his physical characteristics, he asked the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to send troops to arrest him.

The poor horse merchant lost all his belongings when he entered Beijing this time, and in the end he couldn't escape twenty miles from the suburbs of Beijing. He was caught by the panicked officers and soldiers of the Tiger Roaring Camp, tied up into rice dumplings and thrown into a prison for torture. torture.

The Hu people were only in charge of training the horses, they didn't know where the horses would be sent to or what they would be used for, and they even spoke some Chinese incongruously, only Feng Min could describe the matter clearly.After verifying back and forth that what they knew was limited and that they hadn't concealed it, Dali Temple returned the people to Gu Jian and asked them to be registered as servants bought by the prince, and they were placed to work in a nearby Zhuangzi.

As for the horse merchant who escaped and was arrested, he was so lucky that the prince specially told him to.

He was an important part of the plan to murder the prince, and he ran away with a guilty conscience. He made it clear that he knew a lot of inside information. .

No matter which one is hiding behind the scenes, it is impossible to be so stupid as to directly contact the horse merchant with a rich body. As a result of the torture, the participating officials discovered that there is not a group of people behind the horse merchant, but three waves.

A horse of precious pedigree was specially ordered from him and sent to the palace to win the favor of Emperor Taixing. It was a small steward of Lu Wang's mansion who came forward for this reason. He also ordered famous horses from several other horse dealers. That is to say, the owner of the famous horse merchant.

Second, a group of people asked them to train horses to be intimate with people according to the concentration of spices.

In the end, there was a group of people who had almost the same requirements as the second group, but when the spice was extremely strong, they asked the horses to make an aggressive posture and throw people off their horses and trample them to death.

The horse merchant thought that the requirements of the three groups could be combined, so he thought of a one-stop solution and asked Feng Min and his clan to breed horses in this way.This caused Feng Min to always think that the horse merchant was only employed by one person.

According to the horse merchant's confession, the second and third groups who came to contact the horse merchant were all pale and beardless, with hoarse and sharp voices, and they must be eunuchs in the palace.

But there are thousands of servants in the palace, and the two who are connected with the horse merchants do not have strong personal characteristics in appearance. Finding two people among them is like finding a needle in a haystack.

If there was Emperor Taixing's will, they would press the horse merchants to identify the possibility of finding someone from the servants, but Emperor Taixing just pretended that nothing happened, and let the prince recuperate directly!Now all the officials involved in Dali Temple, Tingwei Mansion, Jingzhao, and Daying in the suburbs of Beijing have doubts about whether and how to deal with the horse merchants.

Gu Nian still couldn't see the prince, so he had no choice but to make a bad plan, explain something clearly to the prince, and ask the prince what his plan was.

After Shenlong finished reading, he stuffed the letter back into his purse, "Even if the clues outside the palace are broken, the inner palace still needs my mother to help me keep an eye on it. I'm afraid the man behind the scenes is someone with bad intentions."

Moreover, it is said that there are three forces entangled in it, King Lu looks innocent, who can prove that there are no eunuchs in the remaining two groups of King Lu?

Princes are also served by officials.

Before returning to Chengqing Hall, Shenlong burned the letter in Fengqi Palace until nothing was left.

It's time to make some noise, so it's convenient to scare the snake, otherwise how can the enemy catch the opponent in the dark.

Shenlong put his hands on his browbones and smiled at the rising sun.

The author has something to say:

So, Shenlong started the road of face T (not).

Many girls said they didn't understand the last chapter, so I suggest you go back and read the plot of Chapter 35.

To put it simply, the content is that the imperial court is fighting for power and profit - my explanation is really perfunctory orz
