Heart knot

Shen Zhiyi planned to go to Yunxiu Fang today, which would open in two days. Although Man Niang was watching, it was better to go and have a look by herself. She never thought that before she went out, she saw Mother Wu. Call yourself in a hurry.

"Mother Wu, what happened?"

She looked anxious, as if something serious had happened. Mother Wu gasped heavily: "Girl, someone from the palace said that the Crown Princess invited the girl to go to the East Palace."

"Invite me to the East Palace?"

This time, Shen Zhiyi was even more confused. He and the Crown Princess didn't know each other, so why did she invite him to the East Palace?

"Yes, but I didn't say the reason. I don't know what the reason is. The girl should go to the main hall with me first."

Hearing what Mother Wu said, Shen Zhiyi nodded and followed her pace. On the way, she still couldn't figure out why the Crown Princess invited her to the East Palace.

The only person who can think of himself being connected with Dong Gong is Jiang Huaice.

After the group arrived at the main hall, there stood a woman in palace attire. Judging from the look, she must be the female official next to the Crown Princess. Shen Zhiyi first stepped forward to salute his parents, and then heard Lin Huixin say: "Zhi Zhiyi." Here comes Zhi, this is the female official beside the Crown Princess, Aunt Baili Zhi."

The female officer turned around and looked at Shen Zhiyi with a smile. She didn't look very old, and her bearing was better than that of some official ladies. After all, the Crown Princess would be the mother of the country in the future, and the female officers around her also came from those aristocratic families. , of course there is nothing to say in terms of etiquette cultivation.

"See Aunt Baili."

Baili Zhi raised her hand to indicate that she didn't need to be polite, and said: "By the order of the Crown Princess, I have come to invite the second and fourth young ladies of Dr. Shen's family to go to the East Palace to appreciate the plum blossoms."

Her reason sounded a bit far-fetched to Shen Zhiyi. After all, the winter was about to pass, and basically all the plum blossoms had fallen. There were no more plum blossoms to enjoy. Baili Zhi seemed to notice Shen Zhiyi's doubts, and then added something. : "The empress has also invited other noble ladies, only two young ladies are missing."

Hearing that there were other noble ladies, Shen Zhiyi felt a little relieved. She turned her attention to Lin Huixin and Shen Fu. Shen Fu stood up and said, "In that case, why don't Zhizhi and Wei'er go change quickly?" I have to wait impatiently."

Until she got on the carriage, Shen Zhiyi still felt that something was wrong with this matter. After sighing twice, Shen Shaowei looked at her and asked with a smile: "Why is Zhizhi so reluctant to go to the imperial city? She was the one before the dust banquet and the same now. "

Everyone in the world yearns for the imperial city, because it is the pinnacle of power, where you can get everything you want, but for Shen Zhiyi, it is a gorgeous cage that once trapped her in it and she could not break free. .

Shen Zhiyi shook his head without saying a word. At this moment, the carriage stopped steadily and Baili Zhi's voice came from outside.

"You two ladies, the East Palace has arrived."

The two got off the carriage and looked at the palace in front of them. It was majestic and majestic, with exquisite reliefs on the walls and glazed tiles that shone dazzlingly under the refraction of the sun. After Shen Shaowei came down, the two of them followed Bai Lizhi and walked forward.

After bypassing a palace gate, I saw a palace maid walking in a hurry. In an instant, she lost control of the tray in her hand, and poured a bowl of warm porridge over Shen Shaowei from top to bottom.

The rice porridge dripped down, and Shen Shaowei's hair and clothes were covered with white rice grains.

"Sister!"

"Second Miss!"

Baili Zhi and Shen Zhiyi spoke at the same time. Shen Zhiyi hurriedly wiped Shen Shaowei with the handkerchief in his hand, while Baili Zhi scolded the palace maid. The palace lady knelt on the ground with a pale face, as if she knew she had collided. Distinguished guest.

"Second Miss, I'm so sorry. This little palace maid is new here. Can I take you to bathe and change clothes?"

Baili Zhi looked apologetic and asked people to take the little palace maid down. Shen Shaowei nodded helplessly with a head of soup and porridge on her head: "Then my sister."

"This servant will arrange for someone to take the fourth lady to the side hall to wait."

She arranged it well, and the two of them naturally had no objections. After she took Shen Shaowei away, Shen Zhiyi discovered something. Didn't she invite other noble ladies from Huai Jing to come with her? Why did she come with her? There was no one in the East Palace.

"You must be Miss Shen Si."

While she was looking around and meditating, a clear female voice came from behind. Shen Zhiyi turned around and met the woman's soft gaze. Her appearance was not that good, but she gave people a good impression.

Yun Qing looked at her and smiled again: "Fourth Miss and slave come."

After saying that, she turned around. Shen Zhiyi thought that she was the person arranged by Baili Zhi. He just paused and followed her forward. Nothing should happen in the East Palace.

But as she walked further and further, no other palace people could be seen on the path, only the two of them were left in the thick bamboo forest. She stopped and Yun Qing in front turned around and asked: "What's wrong with the Fourth Miss?"

"May I ask this aunt, is it really the Crown Princess who summoned our sisters to the palace today?"

This road does not look like a place where the Crown Princess would live. Yun Qing shook his head and replied to her: "The one who wants to see the Fourth Miss today is His Highness the Crown Prince, please."

Yun Qing did not hide it from her, but this made Shen Zhiyi's heart gradually sink. What kind of medicine was the prince selling in his gourd? The two passed through the bamboo forest, and a palace was revealed, with a plaque written on Siyun Pavilion. , she could still smell the smell of herbs coming from far away.

"His Royal Highness is waiting for you inside."

Yun Qing stepped forward and opened the door of the palace. There was a figure standing in the middle, wearing a green robe, a golden crown and black hair. He looked very majestic. Shen Zhiyi stepped in and closed the door again.

"My dearest servant, see His Highness the Crown Prince."

She knelt down and saluted. Qi Chengze turned around and looked at her. He was not very beautiful, so why did Minghuai take so much interest in her?

"Does Fourth Miss know that Minghuai is ill?"

Qi Chengze asked straight to the point, without saying a word. Shen Zhiyi lowered his head and replied calmly: "My daughter and Marquis Changping are not very close, so how could I know that the Marquis is ill?"

It turned out that Jiang Huaice fell ill, which was why today happened. It was just that he was ill. What did it have to do with her? Why did he go to such great lengths to summon her into the East Palace?

"Fourth Miss, Minghuai fell ill because of you. At the Shen family's banquet yesterday, I wanted to know what you said to Minghuai that made him so depressed that he still refuses to wake up."

Hearing Qi Chengze's question, Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly and raised his head: "Your Highness's question is really inexplicable, and I don't know it."

Looking at her confused face, as if she really didn't know, Qi Chengze almost laughed at her. Minghuai had fallen into a coma after coming back from Shen's mansion, and Xiao Zian also said that it was she who told Minghuai alone. What made Minghuai lose his mind: "You must think clearly about the answer. The crime of deceiving the emperor is to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan."

The words "Seize the family and exterminate the clan" simply stepped on Shen Zhiyi's pain point. She held the corner of her clothes and said: "Your Highness, instead of asking the courtiers here, it is better for you to find the imperial doctor to get the Marquis to wake up as soon as possible."

"You know Minghuai likes you?"

Qi Chengze said nothing more and went directly to the topic. Shen Zhiyi looked at the place surrounded by gauze curtains: "If His Highness is just here to ask these questions, please let your daughter go home."

"I have never seen Minghuai like this. He seems to have lost his soul for a woman. Therefore, I just want to know what you said to him that day, so that I can know where his heart is and can take the right medicine."

At this time, Qi Chengze let out a long sigh and sat on the chair with a sad face. Shen Zhiyi looked at him and said after a while: "Your Highness, if it is really for the good of the Marquis, please advise the Marquis not to cling to the past."

This is all she can say. After all, the matter of rebirth is too ridiculous. No one can believe it. It would be good for them if he lets go. He was so cold in his previous life, but he has to pretend to be so affectionate in this life. Really ridiculous.
