While Mu Yun was complaining secretly, Shen Fu was also worried in the palace. Who would have thought that after the emperor's burial, Empress Jiang, with the support of the palace people, would tremble and come forward to let him stay vigil with the clan.

Shen Fu quickly bowed and declined:

"Thank you, Queen. It's just that according to the rules, the ones keeping watch at night should be the clan members -"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Prince Ren, who was carrying the clan's order, said from the side:

"Prince Jing, although your family has a different surname, Emperor Daxing has always treated you like his own brother, and we have all noticed it. Now that the Empress has given her permission, and the Zi Palace is located in the Shouhuang Hall, here This is an independent place, and there is also a distance from the harem..."

Lala Zaza talked a lot. If Zhou Heng were here at this moment, he would recognize that Prince Ren is one of the old princes who stood in the Queen's team at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Shen Fu also knew that he must be on the side of the Queen, but he could not refute what he said. Moreover, after King Ren said these words, Queen Jiang actually kept several old men in the cabinet and those who were related to the royal family. She said that she was a woman, but now she was not in good health, so she relied on the help of the ministers of the previous dynasty.

These words were spoken with sincerity, and Grand Master Shen even choked with sobs on the spot and said that when Emperor Wu passed away, the courtiers had spontaneously sat in vigil for her in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and now he felt the same sorrow.

Having said this, and seeing that the other courtiers were wiping tears from their sleeves to express that they were the same, Shen Fu said nothing more and followed everyone into the side hall under the guidance of the eunuch, where he picked a straw mat that had already been laid out. I leaned against the wall with my eyes closed and meditated, trying to calm my mind and find a way to deal with it.

Because of the spying on the prince's palace discovered the day before, Shen Fu was now unsure whether this was the queen's deliberate arrangement, so that he could divert the tiger away from the mountain and wait for an opportunity to enter the palace to search for the prince's traces.

More importantly, even if this was an unintentional move, but now that I can't leave the palace, what will A Heng do with He'er? You know, the mother and daughter are leaving the city tonight, and the opportunity is fleeting. ah!

Shen Fu was anxious. Although he tried hard to hide it, the Protector next to him could see it. Because of the relationship between his ancestors and the royal family, he was also kept here today.

Since he was released from the palace yesterday morning, he, like other princes and ministers attending the banquet, has stayed behind closed doors since returning home. He only made brief remarks to his second brother, son and nephews.

When I saw Shen Fu now, I wanted to ask him what was going on. You know, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the couple couldn't find the girl who followed them into the palace. They were so anxious that they almost asked the imperial guards to find her. Fortunately, I met Shen Fu again later.

But Shen Fu's answer at that time was a bit confusing, and he actually asked his wife to actually go find the Imperial Guards:

"It's all a waste of time now. Auntie, your maid, don't let her slip and fall into the water in panic, right?"

Fortunately, he followed the instructions and went to find the Imperial Guards, only to find out that his family was not the only one looking for them that night. There were too many people at Taiye Pond, and when something happened to the boat, they were in a panic, not to mention the people who entered the palace for the banquet. It is said that quite a few of the palace attendants fell into the water. According to the wishes of the young guard leader in charge:

"My lord, you have also seen tonight that there are too many things going on. If she really falls into the water, it will only depend on her own luck. Let's wait until they are all fished out again. I will be able to help you or the country at that time." Madam-in-law, please come and recognize me? Fortunately, she is just a maid, don’t you think so?"

Having said that, and seeing that the little leader didn't even bother to register, the Protector knew that there were too many people falling into the water tonight, and a little maid and a member of the Imperial Guard didn't even want to pay attention to them.

However, this was used to cover up the sudden disappearance of the girl. The same was true later when leaving the palace. They only checked whether there were too many people. If there were too many people, they only asked briefly. When they found out that the person who was missing was still a maid, They even waved and let them go, which made the couple heave a sigh of relief.

But the doubts still lingered, so with this great opportunity to get along now, and with the emotional cry of Grand Master Shen not far away, the Protector moved over and asked Shen Fu in a low voice:

"Afu, I didn't ask you carefully last time. Did she return home safely? And over there in the palace, why did they hear that the prince was kidnapped by thieves and not frightened as the queen said today? , have a high fever?”

It's okay that the Protector didn't ask. Shen Fu simply didn't know what to say when he asked this question. When the Protector saw him clenching his fists and lowering his head in silence, he speculated based on what he knew before:

"...The emperor's kindness is so great today, who cares about sleeping on this straw mat at night and feeding mosquitoes! But what do you think the situation is at Fengyu Palace? Hey, then Qin Zhihai really wants to hold on to the queen's thigh. , didn’t reveal a single word, only said that he was following orders. Oh, it’s not me. It’s just that seeing Xu Xian of the Tiger Guards not doing things well this time, he can compete with Zeng Ping of the Dragon Guards. ...Hey, why are you going?!"

Shen Fu, who had already stood up, looked back at his uncle who looked up eagerly at him and said:

"I have something important to report to the Queen!"

Shen Fu's voice was not gentle, and everyone was sitting on the straw mat now. They all raised their heads and looked at him. Even Grand Master Shen who was crying sadly stopped crying at once.

"Uncle, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, but I still have to report it to the empress." Shen Fu had already thought clearly. He could not stay in the palace tonight under any circumstances. In this case, he might as well come to the sun. The plan is to let everyone know, so that Queen Jiang will not still find excuses not to let people go:

"Although people in my house accidentally discovered that someone was watching outside the house, I thought about it carefully. How could I know that there is no such situation in other houses? Now that the thief is still on the run, this matter may be related. While the city gate is not open, It would be better for you to report to your Majesty!"

As soon as he said this, before the Protector could react, the others had already exploded:

"What? My lord, you said there are people watching outside your house? Have you caught them? How many people are there?"

"These thieves are so audacious! No, they are lawless! Do they want to attack the court officials again?!"

"Since we have targeted Prince Jing's Mansion, there must be more than one place! Your Majesty, please report to the Queen as soon as possible and ask the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to send more manpower to conduct strict inspections everywhere in the city!"

"Oh, according to what the prince said, we should also inform the government, maybe..."

After hearing this, the Protector already understood in his heart:

Ah Fu, he wants to go back to the palace, right? Then help him quickly!

Then he sat up straight and urged him loudly:

"Yes, I made a mistake in this matter. Ah Fu, please go and report it to the Queen. This matter cannot be delayed. It is best to go back as soon as possible!"

Empress Jiang, who was lying comfortably on the soft bed and being fanned by the palace servants, pondered for a moment after hearing Qin Zhihai's narration of Shen Fu's words and the situation in the side hall. However, Yun Danfeng waved her round fan gently and gave instructions: :

"It seems that Prince Jing is as careful as his hair. Come on, just ask those people to evacuate. Also, if I tell you, let the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division work harder. Those who are keeping watch at the Shouhuang Palace today,

There should be more security around their mansion so thieves don't take advantage of it."
