When Qin Shu arrived at the Taiye Pond, it was already crowded with people. The entire East Palace was kneeling on the ground. The guards, eunuchs, and maids were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Almost every palace room sent people to investigate.

He pushed aside the crowd and saw that the prince and Shiyi were both lying on the ground. Both of them were dug out of the mud. If it wasn't for the fact that one of them was surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, and the other was only accompanied by Xiaochuan Xiaoche, Qin Shu It's almost impossible to tell which is which.

"Ichiro!"

As soon as Qin Shu called Shiyi's name, the little clay figurine bounced off the ground and rushed into his arms. He hugged Qin Shu, buried his little head in Qin Shu's arms, and couldn't stop shaking all over his body.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here..."

Qin Shu thought he was frightened, so he patted the little guy on the back and softly coaxed him. He sternly asked the two attendants, "What's the matter? You are asked to protect the princess, and this is how you protect her?"

Xiaochuan Xiaoche hurried over and explained the matter in detail. Qin Shu was dumbfounded for a while. He wiped Eleven's face with his sleeve, but Eleven tried to hide. On his small face, he caught a pair of bright and slightly curved eyes, and he finally realized that the child was actually smiling.

If he wipes his face clean, everyone will find that he is about to poke his face with a smile!

The corners of Qin Shu's mouth twitched for a while, and he held the little guy's face in his arms, thinking about how to help him pass this level, making a big fuss in the imperial garden, and getting the prince into the pool, the queen I will definitely not let it go.

At this moment, two shrill voices sounded not far away almost at the same time:

"The Emperor is here!"

"The Empress is here!"

At the same time, there was a piercing cough from the ground. The prince who had been in a coma for a long time finally spit out a mouthful of muddy water and woke up. Eunuch Xu let out a shrill scream. It turned out that there was an earthworm wriggling in the muddy water spit out by the prince. .

The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids knelt all over the ground, and an uncontrollable muffled laughter came from nowhere. Everyone lowered their heads and looked at each other, wondering who dared to be so bold.

The emperor and empress saw the prince who was almost covered with mud so that he couldn't see his facial features at a glance. Although they had heard the general situation reported by the imperial army all the way, they were still deeply shocked when they saw the situation in front of them.

The Taiye Pond with rippling blue waves and lotus leaves looks like a fish pond that has been blasted in a farmer's house at this moment. The black mud is churning on it, and the red flowers and green leaves are withered and broken, scattered along the pool to the shore. Lotus roots, lotus seeds and broken leaves and branches in one place.

The emperor was terrified in astonishment, after all, he still cared about the prince's safety first:

"How is the prince? Is there an imperial doctor?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" The prince coughed up a mouth full of mud, and his eyes were also covered with mud, and he could only vaguely see a dense crowd of people kneeling in his field of vision. The prince had never had such a big one in his life The prestige of the prince was gone, his voice was hoarse, and he was extremely wronged, "My son... my son is fine..."

The emperor asked again: "Where is Feng Shishi? I heard that he also fell into the water together. Where is he?"

Eleven just wanted to raise his head, but Qin Shu held his head down:

"Father, Eleven Lang was greatly frightened, please Rong Erchen take him back to the mansion first..."

"What mansion do you want to go back to? Send it to Zhaoren Palace first, and ask the two imperial physicians to take a look at it too!"

"Cough, cough, cough," the prince was already coughing so hard that he didn't have the energy to look for Eleven's figure, and he didn't know that the little man he was thinking of was shaking with laughter in Qin Shu's arms at the moment, and his brain had already started. Fever, a little dizzy, but still remembering my persistence, "Father...let Eleven Lang...and Erchen go back east...cough cough cough..."

The queen who had been silent all this time suddenly shouted:

"He Chang! You send the crown prince back to the East Palace! Xu Fushan, you stay here and explain the situation to the emperor and this palace in detail! Everyone else will step back!"

Eunuch Xu responded: "Yes!"

The crown prince shouted in confusion: "Mother..."

He Chang trotted to the prince's side, and while having the prince lifted up, he wiped the prince's face with his handkerchief, and gently covered his mouth.

The idlers retreated one by one, leaving only the emperor's personal servants, Xu Fushan, the eunuch next to the crown prince, Qin Shu, and Shi Shi, who was always bored in his arms and never saw anyone, remained in the imperial garden.

Although the queen immediately stopped her, the emperor still heard the prince's ramblings clearly. He glanced at the queen indifferently, his face remained calm, but his eyes were obviously cold.

There is still an uncle kneeling in the imperial study, and the crown prince is making a fuss in the imperial garden. The emperor's heart is like a mirror, and there is nothing he doesn't understand.

The emperor didn't deliberately hide the matter of the national teacher's entry into the palace. Even if the queen didn't inquire, the emperor would discuss with her about Prince Jing and Feng Shishi's marriage again, but it's one thing for the emperor to be willing to discuss with the queen. The prince couldn't wait to do it himself, which made the emperor dissatisfied.

Qin Shu said: "The queen mother wants to ask questions, so let Shi Shilang wash up and come back. Although it is hot, the pool is cold, and he is weak. Standing in the wind like this may not be able to bear it."

The queen's breath fluctuated a little too quickly, and there was something she couldn't understand. Feng Shishi's favorite was clearly Qin Shu. The prince, an idiot, was blind and blind, and even pretended to be passionate to such an extent. He hated himself and the uncle for doing so His preparations not only failed to achieve his goal, but made the emperor suspicious!

She forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart, and decided to solve the situation in front of her first.

Since it is impossible for Feng Shishi to marry the prince, he must not be allowed to marry Qin Shu.

As if the queen didn't hear Qin Shu's words, she naturally didn't allow them to leave. She looked at Eunuch Xu with indifferent eyes, and the queen asked slowly:

"Xu Fushan, you have been following the prince today, you know the consequences of the past and the consequences best, tell me the truth, how did the prince fall into the water?"

The emperor frowned slightly, but did not stop the queen.

Xu Fushan lay on the ground, kowtowed first, pondered for a while, and began to say:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the weather is fine today, and it's another holiday. This servant accompanied His Highness down for a walk in the imperial garden early in the morning. I happened to meet Young Master Feng sitting in this small pavilion. His Highness chatted with Young Master, Young Master Feng Said that he wanted to eat lotus seeds, and wanted to pick the lotus seeds by himself, asked His Highness to pick lotus together with him, and said that he wanted to bet gold with His Highness..."

What Xu Fushan said was true, but the emperor frowned more and more when he heard it.

The Queen raised the corners of her mouth and said coldly:

"Feng Shishi is concubine Jing bestowed by the imperial court. The prince does not avoid suspicion when he sees his elder sister-in-law, and is still playing gambling in the deep palace. It is simply absurd!"

"Your Majesty," Xu Fushan hurriedly said, "If it is His Royal Highness, there is another secret behind this.

On the day Prince Jing returned to the capital, Young Master Feng once walked with the crown prince, Prince Jing, and Prince Ning outside the city. At that time, Young Master Feng called His Highness 'Brother'. Yesterday at the racecourse, Young Master Feng also watched with His Highness. Polo, these two times, His Royal Highness Prince Jing was also present, my lord, is everything this servant said true? "

Qin Shu kept his eyes down and did not speak.

Xu Fushan continued, "Yesterday at the racecourse, Young Master Feng and His Highness Prince Jing had a dispute. It seems that His Highness took something from Young Master. Young Master asked His Highness to ask for it, but His Highness refused to return it. Prince Jing saw that Prince Jing had a quarrel with Young Master. Originally, I wanted to persuade you, but because the sun was too poisonous and I got heatstroke, I returned to the palace early, the emperor and empress knew about it, and the slave reported it as soon as he returned to the palace."

The emperor nodded, his eyes glanced at the person in Qin Shu's arms who had never looked up, and there was a hint of judgment.

"His Highness the Crown Prince met Young Master Feng by chance today. He originally wanted to persuade the young master not to get angry with His Highness Prince Jing, and then returned to what the servant said earlier. Before His Highness had time to say more, the two of them gambled. After picking lotus seeds, His Highness told the servant that if he was lucky enough to win the young master, he would invite the young master to sit in the East Palace and have a good talk with him and Prince Jing. Afterwards, the two of them went to the center of the lake. , but was startled by the frogs in the pool, His Highness fell into the water, Xu Shifeng was anxious when he saw it, so he jumped down together, "

Xu Fushan paused, and finally said, "Your Highness is familiar with water, and the pond is shallow, so he wouldn't have drowned so badly, but the frail Young Master Feng was safe and sound, and he was full of energy when he came ashore. This servant ventured to guess, His Royal Highness Perhaps it was done in order to save Young Master Feng..."

"This is what happened."

The emperor looked at Qin Shu with deep eyes: "Shu'er, are Xu Fushan's words true?"

Qin Shu almost gritted his teeth. Xu Fushan's words were evasive and vague, but what he said was the superficial facts, and all the real motives were understated to cover up the past.

He can't deny the literal facts, there are many witnesses for those things, but if he admits it, in the eyes of the emperor, he is the prince who was seduced by Feng Shishi first, and now Shiyi is so close to him, this young man It is a taboo in the royal family that Lang is holding on to two princes!

The emperor's rebels are Jiangshan and his heirs. If the prince is a beauty and his brothers fight against each other, this is the most intolerable for him!

A beauty caused the crown prince and Prince Jiuzhu to fight, and the fate of the phoenix, which was carried by Eleven, was distorted into a beautiful woman and a disaster for the country at this moment!

Qin Shu still vaguely remembers that when he was young, he studied history, and the emperor examined him. There was a female emperor in the previous dynasty. The emperor, the two emperors had countless opportunities to kill her, but in the end they always went wrong.

At that time, the emperor asked Qin Shu: "If there is such a woman in this dynasty, what should Shu'er think?"

At that time, Qin Shu accepted all the techniques of the emperor, so he replied naturally:

"It's better to kill than to let go. Even if there is a destiny, there is still manpower to turn things around!"

Who would have thought that what I said would be a prophecy, and now the queen has forced an ignorant and unambitious Shi Lang to this point!

Qin Shu has always known that his mother is a strange woman, and even a little eunuch she placed next to the prince can be so useful at critical times!

In terms of guessing the emperor's heart, who can beat this empress.

Ning misplaced it well, if the emperor had buried this suspicion in his heart, it was impossible to let eleven go.

Qin Shu closed his eyes, and the hatred in his heart surged like a tsunami. It was not enough for this woman to abandon him again and again, and she wanted to snatch his Shishilang. If she couldn't take it away, she would destroy his Shishilang.

Queen...

Qin Shu's fists were clenched tightly, and his joints were intertwined, clanking.

Eleven finally sensed Qin Shu's intense emotions. He raised his head and saw his brother's eyes that were about to breathe fire. There was strong hatred and destruction in those eyes. He was momentarily at a loss and took a step back.

However, Qin Shu tightened his arms and hugged him tightly, thoughts turned in his mind, Qin Shu already had a way to deal with it, he took a deep breath, raised his hand to hold the mask on his face, seeing that he was about to take off the mask, very But there was a "Huh".

The boy's face was covered with mud, because he had been rubbing against Qin Shu's chest for a long time. At this moment, he was white and gray, like a little cat. He was still leaning against Qin Shu's arms, but his head was turned back, looking at the palace from afar. In the distance beyond the wall, Eleven asked Qin Shu curiously:

"Brother, there is a place called Shu'an Road here?"

Qin Shu was startled: "There is this place, what's the matter?"

"Oh," Eleven Half turned around and pointed to the southwest, "A thousand-year-old earth dragon is about to wake up on Shu'an Road, and I'm afraid it will turn over within a few hours!"

Eleven's voice was not loud, with his usual soft tone when facing Qin Shu, but the emperor and Qin Shu were startled at the same time, even the queen looked sideways, and the three exclaimed in unison:

"What did you say?!"

"Dragon turn over." Eleven thought they were so surprised because they didn't understand his words, so he changed his words to something he thought was more common, "There's going to be a big earthquake there soon!"

----

At noon, the bell tower in the palace suddenly sounded a magnificent and deep bell, one sound was quicker than the other, and almost the entire capital could hear the loud bang like thunder and drums.

The wind chimes under the big bell rang without wind, and the tones were chaotic.

The bright sun in the sky is like residual blood, bringing out a dark red, faintly showing ominous.

Hundreds of officials, civil and military, entered the palace one after another and gathered in the Chongming Palace. Everyone didn't know where they were, but all of them looked dignified.

The gates of the palaces in the southeast and northwest were opened together, the horses were neighing, and the iron hoofs were stomping. Several rows of guards in brocade clothes held yellow bright silk and rushed in four directions.

After a while, the Qilian Mountain Beacon Tower was lit up one by one, and the smoke filled the sky over the entire capital.

After Eleven uttered the earth-shattering words, the emperor didn't believe it at first, but the young man immediately said:

"There are still eleven coffins on the dragon, hey! The dragon's energy is exhausted, and the dragon's veins will be destroyed. No one can bury people in that place!"

The emperor's face changed suddenly. There are thousands of miles of peaks in the territory of Shu'an Road, and the imperial tomb of the Qin Dynasty is located in the mountains.

The exact location of the royal mausoleum is only known to the emperors of the past dynasties, and the Cheng Dynasty is only the ninth generation, and outsiders have no idea that eleven emperors are actually buried in the mausoleum.

This secret, including Crown Prince Jing, even the queen did not know.

The emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he asked Eleven sharply, "How do you know?"

The emperor asked why Eleven knew that Shu'an Road was the location of the imperial mausoleum, but Eleven thought he was asking how he knew that an earthquake was about to happen.

"I saw it," Eleven pointed to the void in the distance. He grew up in the Azure Dragon Temple and is most familiar with the habits of dragons. "The dragon's head is over there, and the dragon's tail is here. The whiskers move first... oops! It's sneezing!"

Suddenly a thunderbolt exploded overhead in the clear sky, the imperial city seemed to tremble at this moment, the faces of the emperor and empress were completely pale.

The emperor breathed heavily: "Feng Shishi, do you know how serious the crime of deceiving the emperor is? If there is no earthquake in Shu'an Road, I will never forgive you..."

Eleven glanced at the emperor strangely, and interrupted him: "Why am I lying to you? Believe it or not!"

He hugged Qin Shu's arm, "Besides, I didn't tell you, I told my brother!"

This young boy was not afraid of facing the supreme being in the world, his expression was full of arrogance and dignity, and he actually stunned the emperor.

After all, Sheng Xuanzong is a wise emperor, and he would rather believe in his existence than in his non-existence.

Shu'an Road is adjacent to the capital, and once Shu'an Road is shaken, the capital will be affected.

Jin Yiwei rushed to arrive in two hours. Of course it was too late to notify the local state capital to evacuate the people, but at least they could notify the government soldiers in advance to prepare for rescue, and the notice of these hours is really important for the protection of the capital.

Three provinces and six ministries, the forbidden army and city defense, and almost all civilian and military generals were mobilized.In Zhaoren Palace, Qin Shu changed his brocade clothes and put on court clothes. While Shi Shi went to catch the jade beads on his crown, he chattered about how he had played tricks on the prince.

It was only then that Qin Shu had a thorough understanding of the real situation in the imperial garden.

Shi Shi couldn't understand the prince's voice, but Qin Shu understood, so his face was extremely ugly, like the dark sky before the mountain rain was about to come.

Before the emperor summoned all the officials, he had placed Cheng Enhou under house arrest and suspended his position as Minister of the Household Department. The crown prince lacked this greatest reliance, and the queen's back was stiff when she left the imperial garden.

The little guy punched wildly and dropped ten times with one force, which was much more effective than Qin Shu's plan that had been deployed for many years.

Qin Shu held Eleven's hand and kissed it on his lips:

"You rest here. When you are hungry or thirsty, call Xiaochuan Xiaoche. Don't eat whatever others give you, and don't run around anymore, you know?"

Eleven pursed her lips and drooped her big eyes, not very happy.

"Good boy," Qin Shu coaxed softly, "I'll pick you up as soon as I go to court, and I'll take you with me wherever I go, okay?"

Eleven had no choice but to stay, but he quickly found something that would make him happy. This Zhaoren Palace was Qin Shu's residence before he left the palace and opened, filled with Qin Shu's childhood memories.

From babbling infants and toddlers, to the youthful young man in full bloom, Eleven holds the Kunlun mirror and searches for traces of Qin Shu's past life in every corner of Zhaoren Palace.

He giggled as he watched.

My brother has been smart and sensible since he was a child, he reads well, and he is hardworking. He even treats the prince very well. Whatever good things the emperor gave him, he would always give it to the prince first. In my mind, I picked up the prince's head and slapped it several times.

He watched for a long time until the queen appeared on the screen.

At that time, there was no one in the hall, and the empress was sitting in the hall with her maid, Tang Li, waiting for the twins to leave school. He Chang came in and said that Marquis Chengen had gone to Fengluan Palace, but he didn't see the empress, so he came here.

Cheng Enhou is in his thirties, with fair skin and a thin body. His long and narrow eyes always seem to be calculating something. When he saw this man's face on Shishi, he couldn't help snorting from his nostrils. , Wherever he goes, there is him.

But Eleven also knew that this person's appearance was specifically to cause trouble for Qin Shu, so he watched patiently.

"Your Majesty," Cheng Enhou cupped his hands to the Empress, and seeing the Empress's dazed expression, he looked around and asked softly, "Have you thought about what you said to your Empress the day before yesterday?"

There were deep creases between the queen's eyebrows. She was sitting on a chair covered with white tiger skin in the hall, but she still seemed to feel cold. At the corner of her clothes, the long nails painted with Kodan vividly hooked the gold threads on the robe, and the gold threads were entangled in the crevices of the nails. When she shook slightly, a thread of blood was stirred out between the crevices of her fingers.

Marquis Cheng En lowered his eyelashes and said in a low voice: "The palms and backs of the two children are fleshy. I know the pain in the empress's heart, but in the current situation, if the empress does not choose one, I am afraid that neither will be able to keep them in the future. The twins will not be able to inherit. Datong, the empress must either adopt one of the concubines' sons, or... this successor has to be given over to the virtuous..."

The queen's eyelashes trembled violently, like a butterfly trapped in a spider's web and desperately trying to break free.

Cheng Enhou continued, "Even if one prince is adopted, the eldest prince and the second prince are already old, and the biological mothers of the other young princes are all from very high backgrounds, no matter which one you choose, the prince's mother's family must be a serious concern for the empress... If the empress gives up the phoenix position, I will inherit the Marquis of En's house as hereditary successor. There are three princes in Wen and military marquis in Wu. Which new emperor can not be afraid? At that time, the pair of twin princes will be the thorn in the eyes of the new emperor... All kinds of vital points will not be needed. I will repeat it again, now it is only up to the empress to choose."

A pair of young men, one in black clothes and the other in yellow clothes, walked towards the main hall together at this moment. It was snowing heavily that day, and the workers guarding the door of the hall rolled up their sleeves, wishing they could bury their heads in themselves. In his collar, he didn't notice that the two little masters were slowly approaching.

The last picture in the mirror is Cheng Enhou sighing and asking the queen: "Have you thought about it clearly?"

The queen straightened her back, all the sadness and hesitation in her eyes disappeared, and her voice was broken like a pair of sharp scissors "tearing" to cut a piece of snow satin:

"...Just do what my brother wants, I choose... Shu'er..."

The young Qin Shu suddenly covered the mouth of Qin Mian who almost screamed out.
