concubine on top

Chapter 68

The little emperor wanted to flirt, but Shen Yanchuan didn't want to beat him up.

With a backhand throw, the little emperor was thrown onto the bed, and Shen Yanchuan immediately followed with a set of movements of pulling out his trouser belt and binding the head of the bed.

It was still a familiar operation, and the little emperor didn't panic at all, didn't resist, and even laughed out loud.

But then he couldn't laugh anymore. After Shen Yanchuan tied him up, he went to the door and drank the tea he brought, and then sat down at the table with his feet rooted——ignoring the increasingly cheeky boy in front of him. Much more useful than spanking.

"The bee-keeper has escaped. It is estimated that the news will reach the ears of the people behind the scenes soon." Shen Yanchuan frowned. "She knows that we have noticed something, and it is hard to predict what will happen next."

He sat there upright, the little emperor felt a little lost, but he didn't force it.Relaxing his body and leaning against the head of the bed, he followed Shen Yanchuan's train of thought and said, "Then... find a way to block the news? Or just give her some fake news to make her numb?"

"Once they succeed, it will be a national sensation. Even a fly in the corner of the palace will know about it. Fake news can only deceive people for a day or two at most."

"In other words, it's time to tear your face apart?"

"Yes, it depends on who tears it first and how." Shen Yanchuan pursed his lips tightly, "I'm afraid she will leave behind us who we don't know about."

The little emperor's eyes gradually became serious.

Judging from the news brought by Shen Yanchuan, it was concubine Tong who allegedly used bees to kill people, but without definite physical evidence, he couldn't deal with people blatantly. After all, Shen Yanchuan didn't fully remember their conversation. Even if he deduced their intentions and methods based on only some words, he would not have an advantage in a confrontation. Moreover, it would be very unconvincing for a concubine to eavesdrop on the roof at night. It just makes people chew their tongues.

After thinking for a while, the little emperor pursed his lips: "Why don't we just sit back and wait?"

"How to obey the law?"

"Didn't you say that a man dressed as a court lady came to send a message to her? The plan failed, and that man must contact her again! At that time, we will charge her with adultery and put her in limbo. Lu Yuan dug deep into the ground, and she is not afraid of not finding any evidence. Even if she really can’t find it, it’s okay to send someone she trusts to go to the Leng Palace to watch her, cut off all her sources of information, so that she can no longer do evil.”

After the little emperor finished speaking, he tentatively asked Shen Yanchuan for his opinion: "Is this method considered thorough?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Yanchuan shook his head after hearing this: "No, it's broken like a fishing net, there are loopholes everywhere."

The little emperor hadn't heard him give such a straightforward comment for a long time, and his cheeks flushed with shame and anger: "Yeah, it's not that bad!"

"It's just that bad." Shen Yanchuan is not used to him because the matter is so big, and said sharply, "Your plan must be implemented perfectly, the premise is that Concubine Tong is either not smart enough, or her temper is too gentle."

"But……"

Before the two of them finished speaking, Xiao Fuzi's voice came from the door: "Your Majesty! The Empress Dowager has been assassinated!"

"What?" The little emperor was emotional just now, and before he could react, Shen Yanchuan had already cut open the waistband of his trousers, and tied a new one for him: "Go! Go see the queen mother!"

The two rushed to the Empress Dowager's palace in a hurry, and when they arrived, they saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the seat under the verandah in a daze, and they didn't even see them entering the door.

"Empress Dowager..." The little emperor hurriedly sat beside his mother, caressing her back through the big-sleeved shirt, looking at her dazed eyes, feeling sad and sour, "It's because I'm not filial that I let you meet... ..."

He stroked it several times, the queen mother finally came back to her senses, raised her eyebrows, and let out a sigh of relief: "Ai's family is alright, but Concubine Tong is not so good."

"Concubine Tong?" The little emperor and Shen Yanchuan asked in unison.

The queen mother raised her eyes to look at Shen Yanchuan, and then turned her head to look at the little emperor: "The Ai family knows that Wu Zan has a wicked heart, so I went to Qiulu Garden today, and I wanted to search her house for any suspicious things, but I didn't expect that there were no suspicious objects. I see, but..."

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slowly, the ends of his eyes narrowed and long: "Is the assassin going to kill Concubine Tong?"

The queen mother shook her head: "No, the assassin wanted to kill Ai's family, but Concubine Tong, she stepped forward to block Ai's family, and she is still lying in the Qiulu Garden."

The little emperor and Shen Yanchuan exchanged glances, and then asked the queen mother: "What about the assassin? I heard that he was caught, who is it? Did you find anything?"

"It was caught well, but it's a pity that someone shot him to death." The queen mother frowned, "As for his identity... the only mark on his body is a vulture stabbed on the sole of his foot, which is said to be the mark of a Beishuo spy." .”

The little emperor was puzzled: "Bei Shuo? But Bei Shuo has no reason..." When he said this, his voice dropped again.

Beishuo, like Taihong, has his own faction in the main battle and the main peace. It is impossible to say that there is no reason at all.It's just that the development and clues of this matter made the little emperor feel confused, everything was confusing, and he couldn't say anything insightful except to comfort the queen mother.

After leaving the empress dowager's residence, the little emperor said to Shen Yanchuan: "I want to see Concubine Tong."

"That's exactly what I mean." Shen Yanchuan turned his head to look at him, "Does the Emperor feel unbearable when he hears that she is blocking the sword for the Empress Dowager?"

The little emperor pursed his lips: "I... can't tell."

He really couldn't tell.

For one thing, all kinds of things happened in the palace, and he didn't know whether there was one or more black hands behind the scenes, whether they acted alone or formed an alliance, whether they had their own people or were all from the opposing camp.

Secondly, he and Concubine Tong have a little friendship. In the past two years, Concubine Tong has been regarded as half a princess in his heart, which made him feel kind and filled a certain vacancy in his heart.Even though she knew that she was not innocent enough, she always hoped that they would not go to the point of endless death.Of course, he also understood that Concubine Tong was always from Wuzan, and her position meant that she could not be easily trusted.

He gave such an uncertain answer, Shen Yanchuan didn't press the question any further, and the two of them remained silent all the way.

Walking to Qiulu Garden, before the two entered the door, they heard the sound of weeping inside the door.

The two approached and saw that it was a palace official squatting at the door crying. When they saw them approaching, he hurriedly stood up, reached under the veil to wipe away his tears, and greeted them in a trembling voice.

"Your master, she..." The little emperor was about to ask about Concubine Tong's situation when he smelled the smell of blood wafting faintly from the room.
