Chen Fu still lives in the main courtyard, but after all, he is busy digging secret passages during the day, so he can only see Zhou Heng during three meals a day, so he can't help but say more things, and Zhou Heng is the same. They had to share everything with Chen Fu in every detail, so the two of them didn't care about Shen Yi.

Shen Yi, who was neglected and was a listener, made up her mind to see this. When she went to the palace to see the queen mother tomorrow, she would still go back to her mansion. Anyway, she would not have thought about it all the time.

Fortunately, Uncle He came back on time in the afternoon and roughly told the news he got from the palace. However, Shen Yi secretly thanked that she was fortunately not going to Cining Palace early:

"Ayi, the Empress returned the century-old ginseng that I took to visit her last time and said that the Empress Dowager is now suffering from both qi and dysfunction, and she is the one who needs to take it the most. Let you find a reason to do this. The old ginseng was sent to Cining Palace in person.”

This made Shen Yi and Zhou Heng's eyes lit up at the same time. When they looked at each other, they saw the joy of the previous guess being confirmed in each other's eyes.

Uncle He had already thought about this on his way back. Combined with the meaningful words that Queen Jiang said last time and the meaningful expressions when she talked about the empress dowager this time, she had already guessed what was going on in her heart. Now Seeing the two girls Shen Yi and Zhou Heng winked each other again, they even confirmed what they were thinking, so they didn't say anything more at the moment.

Although Chen Fu didn't know what puzzle they were guessing, the matter involved women, so he didn't say anything in person. Anyway, the elder sister would enter the palace tomorrow, and then she would know.

And what Uncle He said next is also undistracted to think about other things:

"I went to see the Queen today. I was going to ask her two things straight to the point, but I thought that as soon as I arrived at the palace and sat down and drank a sip of tea, the Queen said something shocking."

"Afu, you probably haven't received any news from you? The emperor must have sent someone to block the news in this matter. According to the Empress, three days ago, the emperor almost had an accident while hunting in the palace. The specific situation is unknown, only knowing The eldest prince next to him rescued the emperor in time. Although he was injured, the emperor was safe and sound."

This made the Shen brothers and sisters all moved, and Chen Fu shook his head in a deep voice:

"This matter is quite serious. The emperor certainly doesn't want outsiders to know about it. There are also Hu Benwei and Longbuwei here. The news is difficult to spread. I know nothing about it!"

Zhou Heng naturally didn't understand these things, and was not as surprised as the two of them. However, the conspiracy theory was the one who blurted out after hearing Chen Fu's words:

"Is it the second prince's move?"

"It shouldn't be," Uncle He shook his head and said it was impossible: "The second prince is not the eldest son. Even if the emperor has something to do, it will not be his turn to not be his turn to have a prince before he was established."

"So, in this way, the emperor does not suspect that the eldest prince directed and acted by himself, and the thief called to catch the thief?" Zhou Heng felt that this was also a possibility. After all, the eldest prince was the one who got the benefit in the end.

The three of them present could not answer for her. Shen Yi frowned and said:

"The emperor was hunting countless guards around him, and it was extremely difficult to start. The matter was blocked so closely, and the situation was not clear yet, so we can only pretend not to know first. But if we enter the palace tomorrow, we can see the Cining Palace. How much does this know."

After hearing this, Uncle He said meaningfully:

"No matter what, when the emperor returns to the palace, this capital city will probably change!"

"Since the Queen's opinion, since the people on her side found out that the eldest prince saved the car, it was a great contribution to the rescue. Moreover, the emperor was safe and sound, but the eldest prince was injured because of this. If the injury was not serious, or It was not a matter of harming the key points, so the situation behind him would be very beneficial to him. If it was not done well, the emperor might even be crowned the crown prince because of this. After all, now the central palace has no son, and the eldest prince at least has the title of the eldest son. ”

"Will the second prince be angry to death?" Zhou Heng was a little gloating. He was so useless that the third princess must be angry too.

"That's not necessarily," Shen Yi said with a smile beside her: "It may also be in a hurry!"

Yes, he could not give up so easily because he had been planning for a long time. Zhou Heng stopped saying anything, but only looked at Chen Fu to see if he had anything to say.

Chen Fu only asked in a deep voice what he said at the beginning: "Uncle He, did you want to ask the Queen before which two things did you do?"

This question reminded the other three people, and Uncle He even laughed: "Oh, to be honest, I really ignored our queen before!"

Then he talked about two things that he came to ask Queen Jiang:

"Actually, it's just the two items related to Wanqing Courtyard before. First, I asked her straightforwardly why the second prince took the risk to provoke two concubines from Prince Jing's Mansion. In terms of seniority, A Fu can also say that It is his elder. Once the second prince's move is discovered, no matter what the reason is, it will be a foolish thing that is not worth the loss. Moreover, the second prince's reputation was good before, and I have never heard of him in terms of female sex..."

Speaking of this, Uncle He paused for a moment. Zhou Heng was afraid that Chen Fu would feel embarrassed, so he quickly followed:

"What did the Queen say?"

"The Empress and ours have a similar idea," Uncle He also breathed a sigh of relief. He was still thinking about the wording just now:

"I feel a little regretful after hearing this question. She said that this matter is not very clear. She always feels that there should be hidden behind it, but now that all the personnel in Qingyuan have been destroyed tonight, there is no way to verify it. I will wait until I hear me say it. Prince Jing’s mansion was ready to rebuild the courtyard, so he just sighed a few times and said that it would be good to repair it."

"So Afu, basically, I think that the second prince should have come to the secret passage below, but he lives in Prince Kang's mansion himself. Could it be that there has been landfilled there long ago?"

"That year," Chen Fu listened and continued in contemplation: "Princess Zhaohuai's father, Prince Kang, suddenly died of illness after becoming a monk at Daxiangguo Temple. At that time, Princess Zhaohuai was not in the capital, and the history books also reported this. There is no record, but He Shu, the so-called success and defeat of the king, was Emperor Wen at that time, and Emperor Wu was in the wild."

"So what you mean..." Uncle He followed his thoughts and thought: "This secret passage was built by Prince Kang at the time? When Emperor Wu ascended the throne, in order to avoid arousing the emperor's suspicion, Prince Kang's mansion took the initiative to fill it up?"

"Later... it should be Princess Zhaohuai's younger brother who inherited the title. Prince Kang was the one who later recognized his ancestors after Emperor Wu ascended the throne. There are many stories behind it... Well, this move is reasonable to think so."

"But why are there no stones blocking the way in other secret passages?" Zhou Heng asked a new question.

Chen Fu turned his head to look at her and reminded him warmly:

"You forgot. When we first saw the picture, we felt that the color of the brush and ink was dark, which should have been drawn at different times, and the secret passages might have been built at different times. Furthermore, although there are lines under the Wanqing Courtyard

The rest of the places are connected, but they do not extend out of the mansion. Therefore, this picture, as Uncle He thought, should have been found after Emperor Wu ascended the throne. At that time, the secret passage of Prince Kang's mansion should have been landfilled.

.”

"Whether the landfill was deliberately letting Emperor Wu know about it or not, if it were at that time, it must have been done. And Emperor Wu might have seen this picture, at least, it was approved by her."

"As you say that," Shen Yi, who had not said anything, suddenly thought and interrupted: "Why do I think that now our emperor may also know this picture?"
