At night, Shen Nanzhi went to Shi's side with a lamp. Mother Lian was sitting on the small pestle to rub her legs, and after Shen Nanzhi entered, he hurriedly put down the candle flame in his hand and said, "Mother Lian, I'll come here, and you can rest in the afternoon." ”

Mother Lian smiled with Shi, "The fourth girl is really getting more and more kind-hearted, even I am so concerned!" With that, he gently lifted the pestle and left the room to the mother and daughter.

Shen Nanzhi hung his head and obediently rubbed Shi's legs, and he was not in a hurry to say anything, so Shi was even less arrogant and impatient, leaning on the mat with his eyes closed and resting.

The boat below him fluctuated slightly with the fluctuations of the water, and the crisp and melodious sound of the water colliding with the hull of the ship could be heard, combined with the sound of sparks splashing in the candlesticks in the room, which could not help but calm people's hearts.

After a long time, Shen Nanzhi moved his stiff neck, raised his head and asked Shi Shi: "Mother, you said that I saved the little prince of Na'an, is it good or bad for our family?" ”

"How do you think about it yourself?" Shi Shi opened his eyes gently, with tenderness in his eyebrows.

Shen Nanzhi was a little cramped, in fact, she thought too much, most of them were guesses and fabrications, but in the face of such a situation, she would rather believe that it was not good, and she had to consider it, so she reached out to support her chin and said, "I guess...... Maybe it's too complicated. It's just that Lord Lu returned to Beijing and said that the emperor rewarded a beautiful concubine, but it was useless, how could the emperor reward the Qing officials of the Hanlin Academy at will, I guess...... It's probably to contain Lord Lu! In addition, the little Lord Qingyang came to Suzhou, counting the time on the road, isn't it the time when the little prince and General Qin came out to quell the chaos together? I'm just afraid that this matter has something to do with Lord Lu, if there is really any party dispute, we saved the life of the little prince...... First, it is difficult to guarantee the identity of this little prince in it, and secondly, it is inevitable that he will be hated. ”

Shi Shi looked at Shen Nanzhi's eyes with a little more surprise and relief, and Shen Nanzhi's heart was slightly fixed, and continued: "It's just that saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. After all, my daughter has the same blood as An Xiaowangye, and Ciqing refuses to let go of being beaten like that for the sake of saving her master, how can I sit idly by? ”

The candle flame in the room jumped, and Shi Shi smiled and reached out to touch the top of Shen Nanzhi's head: "You girl, follow me, if you don't want to be sensitive to these things, you can't do it!" ”

Although he didn't understand how "sensitive" Shi was back then, Shen Nanzhi was still in a better mood and fell into Shi's arms affectionately.

"You know, I am a distant cousin with the Queen Mother, and she has been leaving Beijing all these years, and she always writes a few letters to greet her," Shi suddenly began to talk about these, in the past, whether it was Shi or Mrs., even with his brothers and sisters, he never disdained to have a relationship with the royal family, it was because Shen Nanzhi only knew the background of their Shen family, but he didn't know the details, "She was stuck in that deep palace, and Xu could only write to me to talk!" Shi smiled.

"When my mother returns to Beijing, I can also enter the palace every once in a while to be with the Queen Mother!" Shen Nanzhi also said softly.

However, Shi Shi didn't care about this matter, and continued: "I haven't been in the capital all these years, but because of the Queen Mother and the Hou Mansion, I also know a lot about things in the capital. This partisan strife has never stopped, and the competition for fame and fortune, the high and the low, this is the norm. ”

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but sit up straight, pricking up his ears to listen carefully.

"I don't know much about General Qin, but I have heard the name of Little Prince An. Today, the saint is young, and he is not born to the queen mother, so he said that it is ......" Shi Shi glanced outward, and said in a low voice, "The concubine harmed the crown prince Shen Ji, and it was the emperor's turn to ascend the throne!" ”

"Huh?" Shen Nanzhi's eyes widened in fright, "Then, wouldn't the Queen Mother ......?"

Shi shook his head sadly.

The two talked for a night, and Shen Nanzhi learned a lot of secrets in Beijing.

The queen mother was a coward, her only son was killed by the concubine, but because she didn't want to live up to the first emperor, she had to put the current emperor on the throne. There is only one good - the current emperor Shen Xi is also raised by the queen mother's side, he is kind and kind, and he only hates his biological mother, the concubine, who is vicious. After Shen Xi succeeded to the throne, the queen mother got rid of the concubine and only took revenge for her son.

As for this little prince An, it was originally a distant relationship, but for some reason, his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to that of the prince Shen Ji, and the queen mother was very happy. His biological mother is Concubine Yu, the concubine of the Duke of Liangguo, who is strong and unwilling to be bland, perhaps it is because of these various reasons that the little prince An was also involved in the dispute.

Shen Nanzhi tilted his head: "That...... What is the relationship between the emperor and Prince An? ”

The emperor's attitude towards An Xiaowang Ye determines the position of An Xiaowang - whether he is a supporter of imperial power or the opposite of the emperor.

Shi Shi glanced at her deeply: "The emperor has always been gentle, but his courage is insufficient, and he relies on the queen mother to have such a position, even if he doesn't deal with the little prince An, what can he do?" An Xiaowang has a pure temperament, and to put it bluntly, he is a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills! The left fist and foot kung fu are better, and these two people can't bump into each other. ”

Shen Nanzhi exhaled a long breath, it seems that Little Prince An is still on the side of most people!

"That's it, we'd better not get involved!" Seeing this, Shi couldn't help but instruct more, "I have sent someone to row a small boat to the capital to report the news, and your eldest brother will answer carefully, at this time, our family should only have never participated." ”

Shen Nanzhi nodded, she didn't want to accept any kindness, there must be a reason why her father had to leave the royal family back then. It's just that she is also a little worried, there are many people on the boat, and she just wants to be unaware of the ghosts at this time!

……

An Xiaowang slept on the boat for three days, and these days Ciqing and Juan Bi went to pour him medicinal soup and tonic medicine to continue his life. Although people are in danger of life, they can't wake up for a long time, and they are so anxious that they can't sleep all night. Shen Nanzhi met him occasionally, and saw that his eyes were dark and blue, and he was very haggard.

Fortunately, on the third day, Lord An suddenly woke up. Shen Nanzhi was playing the piano with Yi Xiaoniang above, and Juan Bi stumbled in: "Girl! Little Prince An has finally woken up! ”

Shen Nanzhi was also overjoyed, got up and said, "Yi Xiaoniang, I'll take a look." After speaking, he walked out with the curly lilac, "Have you been to see Lang Zhongke on the boat?" Have you cleared the door with Little Prince An? ”

Juan Bi only followed, running so red that her cheeks were flushed, and said, "No, I didn't have time to come, but Ciqing is waiting on the side, and there will be no misunderstanding when I think about it!" ”
