Shen Moran took off his hat, revealing the bird cage under his wide cloak.
"Something's wrong. Let's take a step to speak."
"Go to my study and talk."
Shen Moran put the bird cage on the table and roughly told what happened.
"Long live King Rong... It seems like this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. I'll have someone go check it out."
Shen Moran shook his head and added: "Maybe one stone kills two birds with one stone. On the surface, it will be framed to frame Prince Rong. There is no one else except King Chen. Using a bird to make the emperor doubt the two princes is what is behind the scenes." The real purpose of the people. But in addition to getting rid of the two of them, if we can get another person to back us up, this matter will be a bit interesting."
"It doesn't matter which prince this person is, as long as it's not the person behind the scenes. The emperor doesn't have much trust in the princes, so one bird can cause a crisis of trust. What a bargain!"
After her reminder, Si Yiluo also realized the seriousness of the problem. Maybe someone wanted to deliberately sow the relationship between Emperor Yao and the princes. They didn't care how Emperor Yao suspected the princes, as long as they lit the fuse of suspicion, they The purpose is achieved.
"I will find a way to remove His Highness Prince Zhan and report this matter to the Emperor."
Si Yiluo whistled out the window, and a figure in black appeared silently in front of the study.
"Go and find out the origin of this myna. Control the person first. If necessary, use torture."
The figure in black obeyed the order and disappeared. It was snowing so heavily, so she came here.
"Let's have dinner together."
Shen Moran really wanted to stay, but...
"There are people at home waiting to have dinner with us. Don't you know? By some chance, if it hadn't been for His Highness's cousin, I wouldn't have bought this myna."
"Among the princes, apart from King Chen, the only one who likes to go shopping is King Yun. Who do you think is behind the scenes?"
Among the princes, besides Zhou Yu, the one with the deepest intrigues was Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang most wanted King Rong to step down, so that the identity of the eldest son would fall on him.
"If this myna is sent to the palace as a gift to please the emperor, the consequences... will be disastrous."
This insidious trick is impossible to guard against.
Si Yiluo shook her cold hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will find out."
Shen Moran covered the back of her hand.
"I believe you."
"It's getting late, I should go."
Afraid of an accident, Si Yiluo thought about it, hung her up in her room, sent her out, and then returned to the dinner table.
No matter what happens, it can't affect the mood of eating. After a busy year, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. When everyone is relaxing, something like this happened again.
"Sir..." Yue Beishu called her, and she looked over, but he didn't know what to say. He half-opened his lips and smiled, "It's okay, it's just...it's nothing. Please eat it while it's hot, sir."
She wanted to serve her but didn't dare to say it out. Although the outside world said that she was greedy for power and lustful, none of the five of them caught her eye.
He didn't dare to gamble anymore.
Si Yiluo had no intention of leaving them alone and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Let's all disperse when we're full. It's cold, so go back and rest early."
Concerned about the myna, she also returned to the room early. Before going to bed, she poked the myna with a small stick. She didn't know how much sweat medicine Shen Moran fed it, and it slept like a dead bird.
After making sure that it showed no signs of waking up, Si Yiluo went to bed, but in the middle of the night he suddenly heard the sound of the bird flapping its wings, accompanied by a hoarse whimpering sound.
After taking out the fire stick and blowing it, I saw Wei Heyan, who was supposed to spend the night in the palace, standing next to the birdcage and teasing the birds. He took a small stick and poked it straight into the myna's mouth.
When there is no light, the myna only barks but does not speak. When there is light, it starts to bark crazily at Wei Heyan.
"Long live King Rong, long live King Rong, long live King Rong!"
Wei Heyan lost his stick and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Where did you get this broken bird? Who used this broken bird to frame you?"
Si Yiluo lit the candle, walked over with the candlestick, looked over, and his eyes fell on the python robe that he had not had time to change out of.
"This bird was accidentally bought by Princess Zhan at the bird market today. It was in good condition when she bought it. As soon as she saw King Zhan, she started barking. She suspected that there was a conspiracy behind it, so she sent the bird to me. She had already let the bird below
Someone went to check."
Wei Heyan looked down at his python-patterned court uniform, covered the cage again with a black cloth, and sneered: "What a despicable means! You should strangle him to death."
Si Yiluo also wanted to take the opportunity to find out who was behind the scenes, but he was reluctant to strangle Bage to death.
"Why are you here?"
The cold air on his body made the room even colder. Si Yiluo added more charcoal fire and used the iron rod to blow the charcoal fire more vigorously.
Wei Heyan came over and buried his head in her neck.
"I don't want to do this job of serving people anymore!"
Eunuchs have no freedom, and many of them cannot leave the palace for their entire lives. It is a great grace for him to be given a mansion outside the palace and to be allowed to live outside the palace every day.
It is a blessing that no one else can envy.
After so many years of holding back, I have never heard him vent his negative emotions.
Si Yiluo hugged his head and comforted him: "Just bear with it for a few more years..."
Wei Heyan pushed it further and moved it closer to her lips.
"How much longer do I have to wait?"
Si Yiluo counted the time and found that Emperor Yao was now in good health. The ambitious prince could only restrain his ambitions and plan silently in the palace.
There is no ambition... Zhou Xian has been adopted. Ten years later, the two little princes have grown up, married wives and built mansions.
He was still staying in the palace at that time.
Si Yiluo suddenly started to gloat about his misfortune, he was a disaster and he deserved all the retribution!
"Why is the Governor so emotional today?"
Wei Heyan's body was heated up, so he circled her and fell on the bed. While he disliked the hard board of her bed, he teased her.
"Because I want to be with the one I love every day, and a spring night is worth a thousand dollars. It's getting late, girl, are you willing to waste time?"
He calculated that Si Yiluo would take a rest tomorrow, so tonight he could...
A stone popped up in the air and extinguished the candle. The senses were amplified in the darkness, exposing the deepest desires in the heart. He hugged her tightly and reluctantly left her, lingering and tossing her until very late. He didn't know what was going on when he fell asleep.
hour.
Si Yiluo felt him rubbing the top of her head in a daze, put on her clothes and hurried back late at night.
She feels tired. Isn't he tireless?
This kind of thing seems to be extremely tiring... With my consciousness shattered, I don't have to go to court or go to the Yamen in the morning. I can sleep until I wake up naturally. When Si Yiluo woke up, the sky was bright outside. Although the sky was still calm, no more snowflakes fell.
The little maids were having a snowball fight and making snowmen outside, while Chen Zhuo and the others in the backyard were shoveling the snow in her yard.
Last night... it was ridiculous!
Si Yiluo buried himself in the quilt and covered his hot cheeks. He couldn't help but think that it was already half the morning and the ancestor worship ceremony in the palace was probably already halfway through.
Zhou Zhan and Shen Moran, wearing heavy court clothes, stood in their seats and listened to the official singing: "Bow-"
Following this loud singing, Emperor Yao and the Queen led the descendants of the royal family to kneel down and worship their ancestors' tablets.
"Goodbye——"
Worshiping ancestors requires a great ceremony, kneeling three times and nine times, and wearing heavy clothes, which makes normal people feel uncomfortable.
In the past, Zhou Zhan would faint twice every time he worshiped his ancestors. This time he gritted his teeth and persisted, but his face was pale and ugly. As soon as the ancestor worship ceremony ended, he immediately staggered and was supported by the palace attendants who had been prepared for him.
Emperor Yao looked back at him, said nothing, and waved his hand to the chamberlain to take him down to rest.
"Fifth brother, let me send you there!"
Zhou Yu turned around to support him, and Zhou Zhan waved his hand with a weak tone.
"Thank you, fifth brother."
"Seventh brother seems to be in better health since he got married. In the past, you would have fainted a few times when you worshiped your ancestors."
Zhou Zhan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said apologetically: "I can't even persist in worshiping my ancestors. I've embarrassed my ancestors. It's okay not to mention the past... It's just that I'm going to be absent from the family dinner later, so why not?" Please fifth brother explain to father..."
