Seeing Yan Sheng go out, King Jian turned his head to look at Zuo Xiang, and sure enough, he also looked at the door. The eyes of the two met, the left side bowed slightly, and lowered his head to do things.

Although Zuo Xiang seemed to be calm and unwavering, King Jian knew that his heart must not be calm.

The queen mother was injured, the palace people committed suicide, King Jian thought that after a short rest, he would summon his most trusted Zuo Xiang to discuss, but he didn't expect him to summon Yan Sheng. In other words, now in the eyes of the saint, Yan Sheng has taken the place of Zuo Xiang and has become the most trusted person of Emperor Jianlong.

Even Jianwang, an outsider, felt embarrassed, let alone the party Li Xiran? King Jian looked at the fold in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it is really unpredictable.

When Yan Sheng arrived in Yishou Palace, he saw Emperor Jianlong leaning on the dragon chair tiredly, and stepped forward to ask, "Father has not rested?" ”

"I can't sleep." Emperor Jianlong rubbed his eyebrows and pointed to the stool beside him, "Sheng'er, come and sit next to my father." ”

Yan Sheng came to Emperor Jianlong's side and sat straight on the chair.

Emperor Jianlong was silent for a moment, and said tiredly, "Why didn't Sheng'er ask me why I called you over?"

Yan Sheng's voice was as calm and calm as Concubine Hua, "Erchen sees that his father is tired and wants you to rest for a while." ”

Emperor Jianlong couldn't help but sigh, "The most worry-free thing in this palace is your mother and son. Sheng'er, I have something for you to do. ”

Yan Sheng stood up, "Please ask my father to command." ”

Emperor Jianlong told Yan Sheng what the Queen Mother said, and then said, "You lead the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Yulin Wei to thoroughly investigate the capital, especially pay attention to whether there are any masters of the rivers and lakes who have entered the capital recently, and catch this traitor who dares to enter the palace at night as soon as possible." ”

Seeing Yan Sheng's slight hesitation, Emperor Jianlong's eyes sank, "Between you and my father and son, what else can't be said explicitly?" ”

Yan Sheng said, "Regarding the masters in Beijing, Erchen thought of two things. First, Zhang Xuanya, the first disciple of the teacher, still lives in the Heavenly Master Temple in the south of the capital, and he has two disciples under him, and his martial arts are not weak; Second, Lu Zhengqi had just returned from Jingzhao Mansion, and he heard the officers and soldiers patrolling the city talking about someone climbing over the city wall in one column. ”

Emperor Jianlong's eyes widened slightly, like a napping tiger, the momentum was compelling, "My son suspects Zhang Xuanya? ”

Yan Sheng shook his head, "Erchen heard Xiao Nuan say that the first rule of the Shangqing Palace is that disciples are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, otherwise they will be expelled from the sect." Zhang Xuanya, as the first disciple of the Shangqing Palace, will definitely not take the lead in violating the door rules. ”

Emperor Jianlong lowered his eyes. In his opinion, the rules of the door are not believable at all, and the court also has laws, but do the court officials act according to the law in everything, they disobey the yang one by one, and they do all the unseemly deeds!

Of course, Yan Sheng knew what Emperor Jianlong was thinking, "According to the emperor's grandmother, if this black shadow is true, then the person who sneaked into Cining Palace is not large, Zhang Xuanya is more than seven feet tall, and it is definitely not him who enters the palace." Although his two apprentices are not weak, they are not strong enough to easily enter and exit the palace, and the retainers will check it again. ”

His inner guards are by no means vegetarians, and there are also spies of Emperor Jianlong outside Xiao Nuan's Heavenly Master Temple, Zhang Xuanya and others were not in the temple last night, just ask. Emperor Jianlong asked again, "You just said that if the black shadow is true, what is the explanation?" ”

Yan Sheng said, "What the imperial grandmother saw was just a fleeting shadow, or maybe the shadow was not a figure at all. ”

Emperor Jianlong's eyes were slightly sunken, it was his negligence, it was indeed possible, "Although Sheng'er goes to track down the whereabouts of the master in the capital, if anyone dares to stop you, you will be punished as a traitor." ”

"Yes." Yan Sheng received the order, and said, "Father, the imperial grandmother is injured, you must be more careful of the dragon body, so as not to worry about the imperial grandmother for you." ”

Emperor Jianlong nodded, and when Yan Sheng was about to withdraw, he said faintly, "Sheng'er, don't let me down." ”

Yan Sheng lifted his robe and knelt on his knees, "The son's mouth is clumsy, and I don't know how to say it to let my father understand the son's heart." But the sun and the moon can be learned, and the years can be proven, please ask your father to see how your sons act. ”

Seeing that Banzai quietly watched the three princes and did not speak, Dexi beside him knew that he was weighing whether the words of the three princes were sincere.

is not the eldest prince, among the five princes who are now with Banzai, the most loved by Banzai is not the second prince born by the queen, but the third prince born to Hua Concubine but raised by the queen mother herself.

He likes this son because the third prince doesn't think about competing for the throne every day, and he is a sincere worker. But Dexi knows the nature of Long Live very well, and it is not necessarily true to say that he fully trusts the three princes, and half of this order is to test whether the three princes are involved.

Like, Banzai suspects that the second prince may also be involved.

After a long time, Emperor Jianlong smiled slowly, "Your imperial grandmother is recuperating in bed, let Xiao Nuan take Xiaocao into the palace to accompany her old man, these two children are pistachios." ”

Yan Sheng responded and retreated.

Emperor Jianlong instructed Dexi, "Go and investigate." ”

Dexi knew that the black shadow that King Sheng was referring to might be a trick, so he hurriedly responded.

"Call Concubine Hua over and dine with me." Emperor Jianlong commanded again.

Dexi was surprised in his heart, and personally went to Chonghua Palace to invite Hua Concubine. Hua Concubine, who was about to have lunch, dressed up a little, and accompanied Dexi to Yishou Palace.

Although Chonghua Palace and Yishou Palace are very close, Hua Concubine rarely comes here, it is Emperor Jianlong who came to look for her, which makes Hua Concubine feel uncomfortable here, and she always smells a faint blood.

accompanied Emperor Jianlong to dine in the side hall, and Concubine Hua was taken into the dormitory by Emperor Jianlong, "Shu'er didn't sleep last night, sleep with me for a while." ”

After Emperor Jianlong finished speaking, he opened his mouth and yawned.

Concubine Hua's face turned white with fright, and she knelt on the ground and said, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

Yishou Palace is the sleeping palace of Emperor Jianlong, and the only person who can sleep with him on this dragon bed is his main palace Empress Li. If Concubine Hua slept here today, the harem and the previous dynasty would probably have to blow up.

Emperor Jianlong was busy in the middle of the night, and he was working hard this morning, so tired but unable to sleep peacefully, so he called Hua Concubine to come over to accompany him, seeing Hua Concubine like this, he sighed lightly, and said very tiredly, "Shu'er, the queen mother is injured, if I go to you, I will be known by those annoying imperial historians, and I will come to talk about it again." ”

When Concubine Hua heard this, she got up silently and stepped forward to untie his clothes.

Emperor Jianlong raised the beauty's lowered little face and looked at it, "Shu'er is unhappy?" ”

Concubine Hua raised her eyes and looked directly into Emperor Jianlong's eyes, "The concubine didn't." You have to go to Cining Palace to keep vigil tonight, because you are afraid that the concubine will not be able to sleep well, so you let the concubine come over. ”

Emperor Jianlong smiled and hugged his beauty in his arms, "Those who know me, Shu'er also." ”

"If you are clumsy, move the low couch in the side hall in." After Emperor Jianlong finished speaking, he explained to his beauty, "Just make a show, you sleep with me." ”

Concubine Hua shook her head gently, "In Yishou Palace, there is no bed that concubines can sleep on. ”

She is only one of the nine concubines, and she doesn't even have a concubine.

Hua Concubine nudged Emperor Jianlong and let him lie on the bed, while she knelt on the cushion under the bed, her head gently resting in his hands.

Emperor Jianlong stroked her little face, and his voice was extremely gentle, "Shu'er is like this, they will also say, it is better to come up and sleep with me." ”

Concubine Hua shook her head, "They say theirs, whether the concubine is wrong or not, you have to decide." ”

Emperor Jianlong's eyes were full of tenderness, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ruo Zhuo came in and saw that Concubine Hua had slept like this, so he waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to talk about the soft couch and carried it out again.
