Huan Ye lowered his head, and the documents before the case were piled up like mountains, rolling up and down.

Shen Yan bowed and said: "The emperor forgives the sin. I have accumulated injuries due to many years of leading troops and fighting. It will always attack when it is cloudy and rainy. It is very annoying. Who knows that day after taking the life-prolonging pill that the emperor rewarded earlier, I actually It is very effective, and even the old wounds are much lighter. Therefore, I am bold and want to ask the emperor to reward me with a prescription, or give me a few more pills."

He took a sneak peek and saw Huan Ye smiled slightly, he didn't seem suspicious, and heard him say: "So that's the case, but this medicine was offered by Emperor Qi, and I don't have a prescription, so you can ask him. Just say that I told you to go."

Shen Yan thanked Huan Ye, got back to business, and reported the progress of the case to Huan Ye for half a day, saying that now there are clues, and it just needs to be traced and investigated according to the evidence, and the truth will be revealed in a short time.

Huan Ye was noncommittal, with no expression of joy or anger, and suddenly said to him after a while: "Shen Aiqing, you are loyal and pure, I have always been at ease. I saw the queen and the eldest prince the day before yesterday, and thought that the child was smart and motivated, but his temperament was rather weak. I'm afraid it won't last for a long time, which really worries me. After thinking about it, I feel that Qing's temperament is exactly the opposite of his. I hope you can teach him on my behalf in your spare time, so that I can worry less."

Shen Yan paused for a moment, not knowing what the emperor meant, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only say: "Thank you for your trust, and I will obey the holy will. It's just that the eldest prince has a noble status, and if I am in contact with him often, I am afraid that I will be criticized by the courtiers." , I am really terrified.”

Huan Ye still had no expression on his face, sighed, and said: "Qing has never been in touch with him, and the criticism has never stopped, so what is there to fear?" His memorial.

The emperor's order is hard to disobey, and the holy will is hard to break.

Shen Yan bowed his hands, agreed, and put down a few words to ask the emperor to take care of the dragon's body, and then left.

Being cold in the cold bed this night, Shen Yan slept indiscriminately all night.Early the next morning, he got up and tidied up hastily, took the half pill, rode a horse in the fog, and went to Prince Qi's mansion.

In detail, it was the first time for him to come to Prince Qi's Mansion.In the past, King Qi's Party had a lot of intentions to win him over, and he avoided them for fear of being too late. Therefore, he seldom set foot on the three streets outside King Qi's gate, for fear that he would be suspected and make the emperor displeased.

Prince Qi's Mansion is not in the east city where dignitaries gather, but in the west city where rich businessmen gather.Most of the houses in Baishanfang are small and exquisite, because in the capital, no one dares to violate the rules and regulations, so although the family spends a lot of money, they are very cautious and restrained in building the house.

Only Prince Qi's Mansion is different, a house occupies the whole street, the front gate is wide and wide, it is almost the same as the palace gate.Shen Yan's General's Mansion is already a third-class grandeur, and it is nothing compared to the magnificent mansion in front of him.

As soon as he turned the corner of the street, he saw a few people standing under the archway in the street, all wearing the clothes of the servants of Prince Qi's family, black clothes and black boots, very imposing.

The visitor had a very good look, as soon as he saw him, he knew it was General Shen. Several people came up to talk to each other, and several people rushed in to report.Shen Yan explained the purpose of coming, and waited for a while, and then two boys with more expensive clothes came out to meet him.

They pulled his horse down and asked him for a sword, which meant that he was not allowed to bring weapons in.

When Shen Yan came back from his expedition to the west, Huan Ye personally issued a decree that he was allowed to have an audience with the emperor without removing his sword, as a token of trust.It should be noted that "the sword is on the palace", but it was one of the three privileges granted by the great ancestor Liu Bang to Xiao He, the first hero in the Western Han Dynasty.

Shen Yan has always been very proud of this, and besides, he is a bodyguard with a sword in front of the imperial court, so there is no reason for him to go anywhere without a weapon.He sneered at the rules of Prince Qi's mansion, but now he has something to ask for, so he reluctantly handed over the sword.

Two young servants led him into the mansion through a side door, and respectfully asked him to wait in the front hall, and then two servants dressed more luxuriously came up and led him into the flower hall.

This room is not very extravagant, the bricks and wood are of the same specifications as his home, and the furnishings are also very plain. There is only a painting in front of the hall, but it is not a famous artist's handwriting.

He slammed his mouth, and was impatient to wait, when he heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from the gallery outside the door, and then the door curtain opened, and a dozen servants came in to salute him.

Shen Yan hurriedly got up to meet him, but the one who got in from behind the felt curtain was a person dressed in red and green, it was Mei Qi.

"Hey, why is General Shen so free today, so expensive?" He didn't salute, and sat down on the lower chair, picked up his teacup and drank.

Just as Shen Yan was about to reply, he heard a deep and mellow voice from outside saying: "Ah Qi, how can you be so rude, hurry up and apologize to the general."

This is said very gently, without the meaning of admonishment.Shen Yan sneered, cupped his hands and bowed to King Qi: "I've seen you, my lord."

King Qi smiled kindly, walked up to the front and sat down, holding his teacup and raised his hand: "There is no need to be polite, just sit down."

Shen Yan sat down and heard him ask: "General Shen is here today, what can I teach you?"

"Don't dare, dare not." Shen Yan hurriedly got up and said, "How dare a humble minister take the words of the prince! I came here today because I want to ask the prince for something."

As soon as the words fell, Mei Qi on the opposite side suddenly let out a "sneer".King Qi glared at him and shook his head slightly.The latter squinted his mouth and sat up straight with his head drooped.

Shen Yan cleared his throat, and said: "I am a warrior, so it is inevitable that I have some illnesses. The emperor is very sympathetic, and gave me a pill that day, saying that it was a gift from the prince. It is so rare and precious. I took it home and ate it. Sure enough, the old injury has been relieved. Therefore, I dared to come to ask the prince for a favor today, or ask the prescription to go back and forth and make it myself, or ask the prince to recommend the doctor who dispensed the medicine, so that I can ask him to come again. Help me get some good medicine to eat."

King Qi laughed and said: "It's not worth anything. The medicine was originally prepared by the Taoist priest of Mang Mountain. If the general wants it, he can only go to him. The humane name is Zhaoxue. I am afraid that he is not in the city now. The general is only going to Nanshan. If you look for it in Yunqi Temple, you'll be sure to find it."

Shen Yan hurriedly expressed his thanks, and said the compliments for getting off the car, before leaving.

When he came back, he made a special detour to Sanhuafang in Xicheng, which was where the East Palace was located, and the Hongwen Museum was built beside it.He wanted to see how Xiao Suo got used to it, he hesitated for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason, so he didn't enter the door, so he went back home again.

Xiao Suo got up early today, after freshening up, he took the official post and headed towards Dongcheng.When he came back yesterday, Shen Yan had ordered Eleven to take him to Sanhuafang to recognize Taoism, so he was no stranger to going all the way.It's just that it's inconvenient to take a car here, otherwise it will easily attract suspicion - after all, the region is poor, where can I get the money to buy a carriage.

He walked to Dongcheng, already sweating a little, but he didn't feel it, his palms were shaking with nervousness, he didn't know what it was like in the Hongwen Museum, whether everyone got along well, how easy it was to acquire skills, and he was very anxious.

In fact, he was also worried in vain, Shen Yan had already sent someone to take care of it, everyone from top to bottom had accepted his favors, even the boy who looked after the toilet had taken a lot of money.

Xiao Suo was in a hurry in the morning, and when it was convenient to go there, the young man was very attentive with a smiling face, holding straw paper, incense dew, a copper basin, and a handkerchief, and greeted him through the door panel: "The little one has already cleaned this place. There must be no dirty smell in it, and the officials can enjoy it to their heart’s content. I’m afraid it’s a little difficult to hear the voice of the officials? I wonder if the officials feel smooth? If it’s not smooth, you can tell the younger ones, there are communication channels for the younger ones. The medicine for venting, take a pill, and the quasi-guarantor will be refreshed!"

"No need, no need!" Xiao Suo wiped his sweat, put on his pants and ran out, "...Thank you so much."

After finishing speaking, he washed his hands and ran away in a hurry without even caring about wiping the "deodorant hand balm" in his hand.
