In the palace.

After the emperor approved all the memorials, he sat quietly on his dragon throne for a while.

Li Fugui led a little eunuch who had the sign on, and asked, "Your Majesty, which palace do you want to rest tonight?"

The emperor glanced at the signs and waved his hand irritably: "Give it aside."

He is now in his fifties and is worried about national affairs all day long, and his energy is no longer as good as before. How could he have so much interest? He felt even more exhausted when the prince made trouble these days.

If you have too many sons, it may not be a good thing.

The emperor knew about these recent things.

Since Lin Ruan was plotted, he has begun to secretly investigate his good sons.

But after investigating for so long, I couldn't find any clues.

Immediately afterwards, the prince fell ill. The rumors among the people, coupled with the sudden awakening of Zhenren Qingxuan and the prince today, all of which opened his eyes.

Which son has such great ability and has done so many things?

However, this incident reminded him of some things. Although this incident was the goal his powerful son wanted to achieve, he could not ignore it.

Lin Ruan, the adopted daughter, has a very excessive position in the minds of the people of Dazhou. Moreover, behind her are Xiao Jingchen and the Shen family. These combined are absolutely shocking for the entire Dazhou.

What's more, they were holding the huge part of Yansha and the forces of the entire Yansha old subordinates.

If she really had ambitions and wanted to replace him, she was afraid that the people of the Great Zhou would open the country and welcome her arrival.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, as if he had seen such a scene.

This is the country of their Zhao family, and he should not tolerate it falling into the hands of others!

Although Lin Ruan and Xiao Jingchen may not have such an idea, he has to be careful!

The emperor suddenly asked, "How is that Taoist priest?"

Li Fugui was shocked and hurriedly said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I heard that the Taoist priest has been meditating after being taken to the Heavenly Prison, but strangely, his injuries seem to be getting worse and worse."

The emperor sneered a trace of sneer: "This is interesting. I have never seen such a thing before. I have someone to bring the Taoist priest up. I want to see him."

Li Fugui hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, that Taoist priest is a bit strange. It would be bad if he was ill-behaved and shocked the emperor."

The emperor waved his hand: "Just a Taoist priest, my Dragon Guard is not a waste of time. Let's make arrangements."

Li Fugui couldn't persuade the emperor, so he had to go and pass on his death.

The Tianzhuo was a little distance from the palace, and it took half an hour to protect the Dragon Guard to pick up people.

The emperor was waiting in the imperial study room until he was dozing off.

"Your Majesty, the man has been brought."

Li Fugui woke the emperor up softly. As soon as the emperor opened his eyes, Li Fugui handed over tea.

The emperor drank some tea with the right temperature and woke up the spirit, "Bring people in."

There was blood on the clothes of Master Qingxuan, his face was not very good, and the whisk was confiscated, but he looked calm. He walked into the hall and gave a Taoist ritual to the emperor: "I have seen Qingxuan, I have seen the emperor."

The emperor looked up and down at Zhenren Qingxuan: "Your performance in front of the palace gate today is very exciting."

Zhenren Qingxuan smiled: "Does the emperor think I am pretending to be a god?"

The emperor had no expression on his face, "I was born in this palace since I was a child. I have seen all kinds of tricks. I don't believe in the words of gods and ghosts. You, a demon, are so brave, you dare to use such a method to despise people's hearts and damage my royal face!"

Zhenren Qingxuan was not afraid, and still said calmly: "I don't have this intention, but I happened to calculate that a monster was harming the capital, so I went down the mountain to subdue it, but I didn't expect that the monster actually attacked the prince. The reason why I was injured today was not that I was not good enough, but that I was afraid of hurting the prince and did not dare to fight the monster too fiercely, which made it hurt me."

Seeing that Qing Xuan was very hard-mouthed, the emperor sneered: "Then tell me, what is this monster? If I can't tell you, I will take your life immediately!"

Qing Xuan was not afraid at all, "I really can't do this request from the emperor now. I just hurt her and did not surrender to her. She has escaped from the capital now. Even if I want to catch her, I can't find her, and I have no way to know where she is."

The emperor looked at him for a while and suddenly said, "Then I will give you some time to find her. How about it?"

Zhenren Qingxuan was slightly stunned, and then bowed: "It is the entrusted by the emperor, so I will do my best to kill the monster."

The emperor waved his hand without comment: "Take it down."

The Dragon Guard immediately stepped forward and took away Zhenren Qingxuan.

Li Fugui was frightened by the side.

He had been in the palace for decades and had a more comprehensive understanding of these methods in the palace than the emperor. At first glance, this matter was for the prince. Not only the prince, but even the princess protecting the country was involved.

These two people are the people the emperor values ​​the most. He didn't dare to think deeply about what the emperor said to Zhenren Qingxuan meant.

Could it be that the weather is really going to change?

Li Fugui's heart tightened, and his legs couldn't stop trembling, but he didn't dare to say a word.

In the second prince's bedroom.

The princes of the Great Zhou royal family, except for the crown prince, will move out of the palace after they get married, but the second prince is an exception.

Because the emperor and the queen were indebted to him, and that he was too pure and wanted to become a monk, the emperor and the empress did not dare to put it outside his palace, for fear that he would not be under his nose, and would always wave his sleeves to convert to Buddhism. So he was an exception and stayed in the palace and lived in Chaohui Hall near the East Palace.

At this time, the second prince knocked on the wooden fish with one hand and Buddhist beads with the other, and recited the sutra devoutly with his eyes closed.

After all the scriptures were read, the second prince put down what he had in his hand, stood up and said to the person kneeling in the dark, "Have you ever summoned Qingxuan?"

"Your Highness, I have seen it. The emperor said, let the real person find the monster."

The second prince waved his hand and the man quietly retreated.

He was not surprised by the emperor's meeting with Qingxuan. This matter could be hidden from the world, but it could not be hidden from his father. But he did not think of hiding it. After all, if Lin Ruan wanted to bow his head, only his father could do it.

He had to make Lin Ruan surrender to him before his father took action.

But where will Lin Ruan be now? The one in Nanzhao Fishing Village is not her at all. Lin Han once said that Lin Ruan seems to be cold, but in fact he values ​​friendship the most. How could she bear to see the Shen family being implicated because of her?

So, Lin Ruan must have returned to Kyoto.

Although she has not made any public appearance and he has no way to find her, this is not a difficult task for him.

After all, this card of the Shen family is very easy to use.
