Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

In the eyes of the other two present, the Seventh Prince's words were full of resentment, as if he was speaking specifically to embarrass Young Master Shen.

"His Royal Highness Seventh praises him absurdly, and my ministers are terrified." But Shen Qingzhuo's face remained the same as usual, as if he couldn't hear the meaning behind His Royal Highness Seventh Highness's words, he clasped his hands and replied modestly.

"Okay." Emperor Guangxi said slowly, like a mirror in his heart, "One of you is my son, and the other is my capable general. No matter what small favors or grievances you have in the past, from now on, they will all be written off. stop."

Xiao Shen's expression changed slightly, he bowed his head obediently, and replied: "I understand."

Shen Qingzhuo also said: "I would like to follow the emperor's instruction."

"En." Emperor Guangxi nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Why is Shen Qing begging to see me?"

Shen Qingzhuo glanced at Emperor Guangxi, then turned his eyes sideways to the crown prince, implying that what he reported was related to His Highness the crown prince.

Emperor Guangxi understood, and glanced at his second son kneeling respectfully in the hall, "Prince."

"My son is here." Xiao Yichen responded immediately, "What orders does the emperor have?"

"Retire first." Emperor Guangxi seemed to sigh, "After returning to the East Palace, think about it carefully."

"Yes, Royal Father." Xiao Yichen exited the inner hall with a low eyebrow, and before leaving, his eyes fell on Mr. Shen, implying a warning.

Shen Qingzhuo looked calm and smiled at His Highness the Crown Prince without any guilt.

Emperor Guangxi summoned the crown prince today, presumably there was a lot of beating between words, the crown prince was holding his breath in his heart.

However, what he will report next will probably make Emperor Guangxi even more furious.

"Old Qi, you should go back first." Emperor Guangxi turned his eyes to Xiao Shen, and his tone was rare and gentle, "It's hard for you to have a heart, thinking about the body of the father. You are the youngest son of mine. Walk around with your older brothers, brothers should be closer."

The world is really impermanent, his sons one by one do some worry-free things, but the youngest son who is the least popular with him since childhood, is now the most caring and obedient, and knows how to care about his father's dragon body.

"Okay, Father." Xiao Shen got up obediently, "Then father, rest well, and my son will come to pay his respects to father."

"Go." Emperor Guangxi waved his hand.

Xiao Shen turned around and walked towards the entrance of the hall, when he passed Master Shen, he deliberately bumped him lightly with his shoulder.

The force of the impact was extremely light. It was not so much a provocation as a... greeting?

Shen Qingzhuo secretly thought that the little apprentice was naughty, but he didn't dare to make small moves in front of Emperor Guangxi, so he could only move his body slightly to make way as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, after the collision, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince left the Zichen Palace without looking sideways, and had no communication with him during the whole process.

At this moment, Lord Shen and Emperor Guangxi were the only ones left in the hall.

Emperor Guangxi closed his eyes slightly, and propped his forehead with one hand, "Finally, what did you find?"

Shen Qingzhuo replied: "The minister found out that the little maid Lumei who murdered Pan Chong was originally named Linglong, and she came from Zuixiangfang."

"Zixiangfang?" Emperor Guangxi suddenly opened his eyes, and his tone became severe, "Who brought that kind of woman from the place of fireworks into the palace?"

Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help but slander, it seems that the emperor has also been to Zuixiangfang, why do you still discriminate against the girls in Zuixiangfang?

The slander is the slander, and he continued to reply: "As far as I know, Miss Linglong was redeemed by a young master surnamed Xiao some time ago."

"Young master surnamed Xiao?" Emperor Guangxi frowned, "Is it the crown prince?"

Shen Qing pondered for a moment, then truthfully replied: "Chen Duofang compared the testimony of the girl from Zuixiangfang, and confirmed that the young man surnamed Xiao is indeed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as the voice fell, the inner hall fell into silence.

Without raising his eyes, Shen Qingzhuo also knew that Emperor Guangxi's complexion must be ugly at the moment.

He lowered his eyes calmly, waiting for Emperor Guangxi to ask.

Sure enough, a moment later, the voice lacking in spirit resounded in the hall: "What is the prince's intention of buying a prostitute from Zuixianglou into the palace?"

"I don't know." Shen Qingzhuo shook his head, "I'm afraid... I have to ask His Highness the Crown Prince himself."

Emperor Guangxi: "What else? What else have you found?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "The Yichun Palace was flooded today, and Jin Yiwei found a charred female corpse inside."

"Yichun Palace? Which empress is this place?" Emperor Guangxi didn't remember such a palace at all, "How could it be so good?"

"It's an abandoned cold palace." Shen Qingzhuo spoke at a moderate speed, enough for people to hear every word clearly, "After the autopsy by Beizhen Fusifu, it was confirmed that the female corpse was a woman about eighteen or nineteen years old. Mei can correspond to each other one by one.”

Hearing this, Emperor Guangxi leaned forward and said in displeasure, "You mean, that lowly maid died just like that?"

Shen Qingzhuo raised his eyes and continued to report: "Afterwards, the little eunuch in Concubine Ning's Palace came to report that she saw Lu Zhu, a maidservant from the Eastern Palace, went to the vicinity of the Leng Palace yesterday. I immediately ordered Jin Yiwei to go to the Eastern Palace, capture Lu Zhu and come back for questioning. Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late, Luzhu committed suicide in fear of crime."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Emperor Guangxi brushed off the teacup on the bedside cabinet, "Ridiculous!"

With a "pop", the tea cup shattered into pieces, and Eunuch Su, who was waiting at the door, hurried in, "Your Majesty?"

"Suicide in fear of crime, and suicide in fear of crime!" Long Yan was furious, and Emperor Guangxi gasped heavily, his face flushed with anger, "I am not old, I am not deaf and blind, how dare I do it three times?" Twice under my nose, so reckless!"

"The emperor calms down the emperor's anger... It's important to take care of the dragon's body!" Eunuch Su hurried forward, then turned his head and asked Shen Qingzhuo, "Master Shen, what happened?"

"It's the case of Changgong Pan, and new progress has been made." Shen Qingzhuo showed worry, and followed Eunuch Su to persuade, "Your Majesty, it's important to take care of the dragon's body."

"Cough, cough..." Emperor Guangxi leaned against the head of the bed, coughing and trembling, "Shen Qingzhuo...you, you cough..."

"Your Majesty, I am here." Shen Qingzhuo frowned, trying to comfort Sacred Heart, "This case still lacks an important link, and it cannot be concluded yet."

Emperor Guangxi leaned on the bedside, swallowed the pill that Eunuch Su handed him, and drank several sips of tea before gradually regaining his composure.

"Death has no proof..." Emperor Guangxi slowed down, his eyes were gloomy, "When we arrive at Beizhen Fusi, can't Shen Qing ask the dead to speak?"

Shen Qingzhuo knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The humble minister is incompetent, every action is slow, so that the real murderer behind the scenes escaped. Please the emperor rule the minister, the crime of ineffective handling of the case."

"I ask you—" Emperor Guangxi looked at him and said in an unpredictable tone, "The key witness is dead, what are you going to do next?"

"There is no proof that Lumei and Luzhu are dead, but judging from the current witnesses and physical evidence, all the evidence points to Donggong, except for the lack of motive for committing the crime." Shen Qingzhuo replied in a deep voice, "Next, it depends on Dongchang finding out who Whether the mysterious case of Juan's disappearance is not good for the East Palace."

Emperor Guangxi was breathing heavily, and he said after a long while, "I see, you go down first."

Shen Qingzhuo looked up, with a hesitant expression.

Emperor Guangxi sensed it sensitively, and asked: "Is there anything else Shen Qing wants to announce?"

"No." Shen Qingzhuo lowered his eyes, cupped his hands and saluted, "The emperor takes care of the dragon's body, and I will take my leave first."

***

After leaving the Zichen Palace, Kong Shang immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "My lord, how is the situation?"

"Press the wind for the time being, and wait for the next key evidence." Shen Qingzhuo's tone was flat, and he planned to return to Beizhen Fusi first.

Kong Shang scratched his head in bewilderment, but still chose to shut up and listen to orders, and followed Master Shen obediently.

After walking for a while, a figure suddenly blocked their way, "Master Shen."

Shen Qingzhuo raised his eyelashes and frowned when he saw the person coming, but still greeted him politely: "Pei Shaofu."

Pei Yanqi had a serious face, and his tone still maintained his usual demeanor, "Master Shen, can you take a moment to speak?"

Shen Qingzhuo could probably guess his reason for coming, so he politely refused: "I still have official duties, and I am in a hurry to return to Beizhen Fusi."

"Just a quarter of an hour." Pei Yanqi did not give up, and took two steps forward, "Third Young Master, Mr. Pei will not delay you for too long."

"I'm sorry, Shaofu Pei, it's really inconvenient for me right now." Shen Qingzhuo smiled apologetically, and pushed Kong Qianhu behind him, "Otherwise, if Master Pei has something to say to Kong Qianhu, you can tell me later, it's the same. "

"Ah?" Kong Shang looked surprised, "What's the matter?"

Pei Yanqi stared at that clean and beautiful face, and called again in a low voice, "Third Young Master."

But Shen Qingzhuo deliberately pretended not to hear, walked around him and wanted to continue walking, but his arm was grabbed by a hand.

"It depends on the friendship in the past." Pei Shaofu's voice became softer, even imperceptibly pleading, "Qing Zhuo, I never asked you anything."

Just now Jin Yiwei broke into the East Palace to take away the green bamboo, but found that the green bamboo was dead in the room. At that moment, he realized that someone was determined to put His Highness the Crown Prince to death.

But he was in the closed East Palace, and he didn't understand the tricks, so naturally he couldn't respond in time.

Shen Qingzhuo didn't know the friendship between Pei Shaofu and the original owner, and said in a cold tone: "Pei Shaofu, please respect yourself."

Pei Yanqi was still holding onto his arm firmly, but looking at him became complicated, as if he had just realized that the person in front of him was so strange.

Among the two, the dragon and the phoenix stood together, their heights and figures matched surprisingly, a breeze blew by, and the picture was as beautiful as an ink painting.

Even Kong Shang, an old man, couldn't help admiring this eye-catching painting.

But before he took a few glances at it, he heard an angry roar like a thunderbolt from a clear sky not far away.

"Let go sir!"

Shen Qingzhuo's heart skipped a beat, he quickly shook off Pei Shaofu's hand, and took two steps back as if drawing a line.

As soon as he turned his face, he saw that the little apprentice's phoenix eyes were wide open, staring at Pei Shaofu fiercely, his grinning mouth was furious, he was no different from a puppy with fur all over his body.

Shen Qingzhuo wanted to laugh out of season.

What's going on, why does he suddenly find the little apprentice so cute when he's angry?

The author has something to say:

Wolf Cub: Dare to touch Mister?I'm going to cut off your hand!

Sir: Why do I think the little apprentice is so cute when he is angry?

Kong Shang: Really only adults think...
