Shen Yi lowered his eyes and carefully wiped Qin Su's tears away.

Qin Su held Shen Yi's fingertips, felt the temperature of Shen Yi's fingers, and still laughed, "Anping, let's rest earlier."

Shen Yi nodded in response, Qin Su arranged Shen Yi in her bedroom, Shen Yi slept on the bed, she slept on the couch, separated by a screen.

As the moon passed over the treetops, Qin Su still kept his eyes open, listening to the slight sound of breathing from the screen, his mind swirled.

Stretching out his hand, Qin Su watched the moonlight fall into his hand, and rarely thought about the future other than the throne.

At dawn, Chishui stood in front of the door before he could speak, the door opened from the inside, and Qin Su, dressed neatly, stood inside the door, "Don't wake her up."

After telling Chishui, Qin Su went to the early court.

Before the morning morning was over, Shen Yi woke up, rubbed his eyes, and Chi Shui who was waiting in front of the bed immediately stepped forward.

"Miss Shen is awake?"

Shen Yi looked at Chishui, nodded a little at a loss, and glanced at the screen, looking for Qin Su.

"His Royal Highness has already gone to court, and his subordinates are waiting for Miss Shen to change her clothes."

Chi Shui saw Shen Yi's thoughts, and said.

"Is the princess going to court too?"

Shen Yi was a little puzzled.

"Now that the princess is in charge of the country, naturally she has to go to the court in the morning. His Highness has ordered that Miss Shen can have breakfast first after waking up, and there is no need to wait for her."

While helping Shen Yi change clothes, Chishui gave Qin Su's instructions. Generally speaking, after the morning court, if there is still something to do, Qin Su may stay in the imperial study, and may not be able to come back in the morning.

Shen Yi agreed, no more words.

Sure enough, there was something wrong in the early court, news came back from the East China Sea, Jin Lie was ready to evacuate, completed the peace talks with Jin Guogong and others, and Yasukuni was officially included in Dayong's territory.

This is good news, but looking at the empty cities, no one can laugh.

What's more, there is still a plague that has not been resolved. So many imperial physicians have been visited, but the plague is so fierce that it is really difficult to control. For the time being, separate control has been implemented, but it can only be contained temporarily, and there is still no cure for the plague.

"Your Highness, I have one more thing to tell you. It's raining in June. Although the dams in the south of the Yangtze River have been reinforced, but this year's rain is quite fierce. In addition to the raids and oppressions by the Jiangnan government in the past few years, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are now in dire straits. Taxes, give the people in the south of the Yangtze River a chance to recuperate?"

Qin Su lowered his eyes, "Yes, this year's Jiangnan tax will be exempted."

"On behalf of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, I would like to thank Your Highness Long En!"

Qin Su raised his eyes, Shen Cheng, who wanted to stand up and say something was wrong, met Qin Su's gaze, but didn't say anything more.

"His Highness Qizuo, the third prince, Qin Heng, has absconded in fear of crime and has failed so far. Should a warrant be issued so that he can be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible?"

The Minister of Dali Temple stood up and reported that the matter of the third prince was known to everyone, and the evidence was conclusive.

Qin Su pondered for a while, "I have sent people to pursue it, and we will wait for the news first."

Qin Su could understand what he said, so he didn't say any more, but this time the third prince wanted to kill Qin Su, and also caused Miss Shen's disappearance for such a long time. According to Qin Su's temper, he should kill him early. People deal with it, but they don't expect to be so lenient this time, and it will take two days to even arrest him.

There were some miscellaneous things, and the early morning time was delayed a bit. Afterwards, Shen Cheng and others went to the imperial study with Qin Su, and discussed Jiangnan taxes and other matters. noon.

"Please trouble Your Highness to take care of it, Ping'er, what a problem."

After finishing the business, all the officials retreated, Prime Minister Shen took a step slowly, and talked about Shen Yi with Qin Su again.

"Your Majesty Shen, you don't have to worry about matters within the palace."

Qin Su didn't sleep well last night, coupled with the exhaustion of the whole morning, his whole body was visibly tired.

Prime Minister Shen wanted to take the opportunity to say that he would take Shen Yi back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but seeing Qin Su's answer, he didn't know how to speak, so he could only thank him and back away.

After everyone left, Qin Su looked at the memorial on the dragon case and couldn't help feeling a headache, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

"Your Highness, do you want to eat?"

Chishui stayed in Zhengyang Palace to serve Shen Yi, and Qin Su left twelve caretakers by his side.

Twelve glanced at the hour and asked.

"I have no appetite, is there any news from Zhengyang Palace?"

Not only did Qin Su lose her appetite, but she even felt like throwing up now, feeling like she couldn't breathe.

"Chishui sent someone to send a message, saying that Miss Shen has woken up, had breakfast, and is practicing calligraphy in His Highness's study, so His Highness don't have to worry about it."

Twelve has been with Qin Su for such a long time, and has learned something from Chishui.

"Well, send a message back to Zhengyang Palace and let someone pass the meal. I still have important things to do in this palace, so I won't go back."

Qin Su squeezed the space between his eyebrows, "I will sleep for a while, and I will call me later in an hour."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Twelve agreed and withdrew.

Qin Su lay on the couch, rubbed his temples, and closed his eyes.

In Zhengyang Palace, Shen Yi listened to Qin Su's words, and looked at the food on the table in front of him with lowered eyes, "Your Highness must be busy with all kinds of affairs every day?"

"Return to Miss Shen, His Highness is in charge of supervising the country, so naturally he has to take care of it."

Chishui replied while giving Shen Yi cloth dishes.

Shen Yi had lunch alone, and was a bit bored in the room, so he wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn't want a group of people to come to meet him just as he walked to the Imperial Garden.

Chi Shui frowned slightly, "Miss Shen, let's go back."

Shen Yi looked at Chishui in confusion, not knowing what happened.

Just as he was hesitating for a while, Concubine De and his party had already seen Shen Yi, and they came straight here.

"This is Empress Defei."

Chi Shui reminded in Shen Yi's ear.

Seeing Concubine De approaching, Shen Yi didn't know what to do, he just stood there in a daze.

"Isn't this Miss Shen? You don't need to salute when you see Bengong?"

In the past two days because of the matter of the third prince, Concubine De was furious, seeing Shen Yi here and seeing her being rude, she was even more angry from the bottom of her heart.

"Concubine De, please forgive me. Miss Shen was frightened and suffered from a loss of soul. She doesn't remember those things now, and she hasn't relearned etiquette. She didn't want to offend Concubine De."

Seeing that Concubine De was deliberately looking for trouble, Chishui hurriedly stepped forward, took the opportunity to gesture to the little maid from behind, and went to the imperial study to find Qin Su as soon as possible.

After hearing Chishui's explanation, Concubine De's gaze on Shen Yi became ironic, "It's ridiculous, what kind of soul-lost disease, I think it's just an excuse, since Miss Shen doesn't know the rules, why don't I come and teach her?" It's the rules."

"Empress Defei! Miss Shen is a guest of Zhengyang Palace!"

Seeing that Concubine De took a step forward and was about to get close to Shen Yi, Chi Shui had no choice but to step forward and stopped between Concubine De and Shen Yi, not caring about any rules or irregularities.

"presumptuous!"

Concubine De raised her hand and slapped Chishui on the face, Chishui didn't dodge or dodge, she took the slap hard.

"Use your Zhengyang Palace to suppress people? Tell your master to tell me!"

Concubine De is now looking for Qin Su, but she can't find it. She knows very well that Qin Su is deliberately framing the third prince, Qin Heng, and wants to use this opportunity to get rid of the third prince.

Without the prince by her side, the family will be uprooted again. She is alone in this deep palace, but is there any way out?

In other words, Qin Su never wanted to give their mother and son a life from the very beginning. Now that her only son is gone, why should she give way to Qin Su in such a humble way as before?

In the final analysis, Qin Su is just a princess now, if Emperor Yong Le hadn't spoiled her, why should the whole palace respect her threefold?

Concubine De raised her hand and asked someone to take Shen Yi away, no matter what, she is Concubine De now, Qin Su's elder, and Emperor Yong Le is not in the palace, so Qin Su can't punish her.

Thinking of the news of the third prince's death just now, Concubine De had hatred in her eyes, "Is it so difficult to ask Miss Shen to have a cup of tea in this palace?"

The people around De Concubine were ready to attack, and Chi Shui and others were no longer polite. The shadow guard showed up, drew the knife directly, and put it on the necks of the people in De Concubine's palace.

"Empress Concubine De, you should think twice before you act. Zhengyang Palace is not a harem, and the harem will not work in Zhengyang Palace."

The five finger marks on Chishui's face were clearly visible, but he did not take a step back, looking at Concubine De coldly.

"Yeah!"

Concubine De looked at the shadow guards with knives around her, her face distorted, "Your Majesty is still there! You dare to act like this in Zhengyang Palace, carrying weapons in the inner palace, it's against the heavens! It's against the heavens! "

"Father is gracious, if Concubine De has any objections, you can go to find Father."

Qin Su's voice came from behind Concubine De, and everyone looked back, only to see Qin Su, who was wearing a wide-sleeved black robe, walking quickly. She obviously heard Concubine De's words just now.

"What are you going to do, Empress Defei?"

Qin Su stood still in front of Concubine De, in the harem, she didn't need to salute anyone except Emperor Yongle and Imperial Concubine Jin.

Seeing Qin Su coming so soon, Concubine De sneered, "Her Royal Highness is so majestic, Miss Shen can't do it even if I see this palace ceremony, I just want to teach her the rules, so I invite her to have a cup of tea. The people in your Zhengyang Palace drew their swords, why, this palace is already under the control of your eldest princess? This Dayong is already in the hands of your eldest princess?"

"I invite the imperial concubine of the Jin Dynasty to comment."

Qin Su looked at Concubine De, who seemed to be insane, and didn't want to talk nonsense with her. It was inconvenient for her to intervene in the affairs of the harem, but that didn't mean no one cared.

Concubine De's eyes flickered, she had forgotten about the imperial concubine Jin.

While waiting for the imperial concubine Jin to come over, Concubine De knew that she had no way out, so she couldn't help but feel sad, and she looked at Qin Su, and she was completely mad, "Okay! Qin Su! Go! Die! Everyone die!"

Qin Su felt something was wrong, and before he had time to react, he saw Concubine De taking out a cup of soup from the food box of the maid next to him, and pouring it around.

"It's green alum oil!"

Chi Shui's eyes widened, seeing the palace servant who fell to the ground crying after being stained, he quickly turned around to protect Shen Yi.

Qin Suben was also standing in front of Concubine De, but he reacted quickly and raised his wide sleeves to block it, so he was not affected.

Amid the wailing, Concubine De looked up to the sky laughing and rushed towards Qin Su, with twelve eyes and quick hands, the sharp sword came out of its sheath and pierced Concubine De's heart, and the long sword was pulled out, blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing all over the sky, and Concubine De also stared wide With both eyes, looking at the blood flower in front of him, he fell powerlessly to the ground.

When the imperial concubine Jin came over, she saw exactly this scene, she stopped in her tracks, and was stunned for a moment.

Qin Su put down his sleeve that had blocked the green oil and blood, frowning and flicking it, but when he raised his eyes, he met Shen Yi's blank gaze, and was dazed for a moment.

"Why don't you send Miss Shen back to the palace soon?"

Chi Shui also reacted, quickly covered Shen Yi's eyes, and brought him back to Zhengyang Palace.

The imperial concubine of Jin also came back to her senses, and walked to Qin Su's side, "I heard that Concubine De is insane. Is Your Highness injured?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam, I am not injured, but how should I deal with this mad concubine?"

Qin Su glanced at his tattered sleeves, then at the mourning palace servants, and frowned slightly.

Twelve stood beside Qin Su, "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine, this Concubine De went to the Imperial Study Room before, saying that she wanted to bring some desserts to His Highness, but His Highness was taking a nap, so I didn't let Concubine De go in to disturb her. But I didn't expect that there were poisonous substances such as green alum oil in this food box."

The imperial concubine of Jin waved her hand, "Take these palace servants down first to treat the wounds, thoroughly investigate the matter of Concubine De's green vitriol oil, as for the death of Concubine De, it is said that she fell insane into the lake, and the palace personnel present... all deal with it." , deal with it more cleanly."

Having been in charge of the harem for many years, if the concubine Jin's methods are not strong, she will not be able to sit firmly in the position of imperial concubine. After a series of orders, someone will immediately clean up the mess.

Qin Su glanced at the body of Empress Concubine De on the ground, "It seems that brother Sanhuang is in danger."

"In that case, it's better to settle this matter early."

After the imperial concubine Jin finished speaking, she took a look at Qin Su's distressed body, "Your Highness is frightened, it's better to go back and change clothes earlier."

"Yes, Madam Lao."

Qin Su knew that this place could be handed over to the imperial concubine Jin, so he didn't stay any longer, and took people back to Zhengyang Palace first.

As soon as he entered the gate of Zhengyang Palace, Qin Su saw Shen Yi standing in the courtyard, as if he was waiting for him to come back.

Unceremoniously hiding the blood-stained sleeve, Qin Su stood still two steps away from Shen Yi, "Why didn't Anping go back to the room to rest? Did you get scared just now?"

Shen Yi's eyes only fell on Qin Su's body. Qin Su was wearing black clothes, but the thick bloodstains could still be seen.

"I'm going to change clothes first."

Qin Su couldn't stand his current appearance in Shen Yi's clean eyes, and walked around Shen Yi to Qingchi.

Chishui was also stained with green vitriol just now, and as soon as he went to change his clothes, he saw Qin Su heading towards Qingchi with a sullen face.

"Miss Shen, what's the matter?"

Chi Shui didn't know what happened just now, and then looked at Shen Yi who was standing there in a daze, and asked.

Shen Yi now only feels that his mind is blank, and his eyes are full of blood from just now, "Just now... someone died, right?"

Chishui was silent, she knew that the scene just now was too cruel for Shen Yi, and Qin Su had always avoided letting Shen Yi see these things, but she didn't want something unexpected to happen today.

"It's also for the safety of His Highness, that man has gone crazy."

Shen Yi nodded dully, sat down on the stone bench in the yard, supported his head, and frowned.

"Miss Shen, what's the matter with you?"

Chi Shui was startled, and hurried to help Shen Yi.

Shen Yi didn't know what was wrong with her, she just felt a headache, the pain made her consciousness start to blur, and then she fell into darkness.

Qin Su, who was in the clear pool, had just entered the pool when he heard someone outside hurriedly reporting, "Miss Shen has fainted!"

Immediately, regardless of the fact that his body was still wet, Qin Su hastily put on his clothes, put on his outer robe and walked out.

Chishui was standing in the courtyard, while Shen Yi lay motionless on the stone table.

"How is this going?"

Qin Su walked up to Shen Yi's side and shook it lightly, but there was no reaction at all.

"Just now, my subordinate spoke a few words to Ms. Shen, and Ms. Shen sat down with her head propped up, and then fainted."

Chishui didn't dare to move Shen Yi rashly, so he could only wait for Qin Su to make up his mind.

Qin Su picked up Shen Yi, "Go pass it on to the imperial physician! Then send someone to pass it on to Huaxi!"

Holding Shen Yi in his arms, Qin Su went to the main hall, and put him gently on the bed.

Looking at Shen Yi who was still frowning in a coma, Qin Su panicked, "Anping, don't scare me."

Resting his head on Shen Yi's arm, Qin Su didn't know if it was related to the injury on Shen Yi's head, so he stood up and moved Shen Yi's head to avoid pressing on the wound.

The imperial physician came quickly, and when he arrived, Qin Su got up to get out of the way and asked the imperial physician to feel Shen Yi's pulse.

The old imperial doctor frowned and felt his pulse for a long time, "Your Highness, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"Just say it." Qin Su didn't have time to listen to those gossips, and now she wanted to know what happened to Shen Yi.

"Yes," the old doctor withdrew her hand, "Miss Shen has trauma to her head, coupled with the loss of soul disease, it should not be too exciting, and the emotion should not be too excited. This fainting is also because of this."

"Is there any reason to talk about this? Just say there is any way?"

Qin Su knew it too, and blamed himself for a moment.

"What I feel is inappropriate to say is that, in my opinion, Miss Shen is more suitable for recuperation, and Zhengyang Palace is not a suitable place for recuperation."

The old imperial doctor lowered his head. He always speaks easily to offend people. He usually tries his best not to stay out of the imperial hospital. He honestly dispenses medicines in the imperial hospital. Unfortunately, this time he went to Jingguo to treat the plague. Half of the former imperial physicians left. Carefully bring it here.

It has always been heard that His Royal Highness the eldest princess has a bad temper, so the old doctor sweated for himself, and stood silently, waiting for Qin Su's order.

For a long while, Qin Su didn't say a word.

"Do you need to grab medicine?"

Chi Shui hurriedly stepped forward to ask the old doctor.

The old doctor nodded, and Chishui hurriedly took the man out to prescribe the medicine.

Qin Su stood by the bed, looked at Shen Yi with a pale face on the bed, and took a deep breath, "Lan Ying, go to the Yunzhai Tower and tell me that I want to see Kongzhai."

Lan Ying didn't ask any more questions, and took the order to leave.

Today's concubine De let Qin Su know what kind of price he would bring if he went his own way, maybe he shouldn't have brought Shen Yi to the palace for his own selfishness from the very beginning.

Now is just the beginning, only the third prince and concubine De can do such crazy things, in the future there will be four princes, sixth princes, seventh princes, eighth princes, virtuous concubines, good concubines and so on.

The harem is destined to be full of dangers, and everyone knows how important Shen Yi is to him, so this is no different from putting Shen Yi in a pit of fire.

Qin Su didn't know if he could protect Shen Yi this time, if he could protect Shen Yi next time, if he could protect Shen Yi every time, if he was accidentally late, what would be the consequences.

Rather than making Shen Yi a living target in the capital, Qin Su would rather be separated from Shen Yi for a while.

"It is said that Prime Minister Shen and Mrs. Shen have entered the palace."

Having made up his mind, Qin Su ordered someone to pass Shen Chengxiang and his wife into the palace again.

After all, Prime Minister Shen and Mrs. Shen should also know about sending Shen Yi away.

Huaxi came to the palace first, and took a look at Shen Yi's situation. It was basically consistent with what the old doctor said, and she also agreed to let Shen Yi leave the palace temporarily.

"Actually, it can be like this." Huaxi rolled his eyes and came up with another good idea, "Qin Su, you can quietly send Miss Shen away first, and then find someone who is similar in size to play Miss Shen in Beijing. , so that no one will notice, and it can also be used as bait, killing two birds with one stone."

After listening to Huaxi's suggestion, Qin Su nodded, "You are indeed right, but where can I find someone who is similar in size to Anping?"

"Leave this to me, I know the disguise technique, and my figure is about the same as Miss Shen, take a look...

I'm just a little fatter and taller than Ms. Shen, but it's okay, basically the same. "

Huaxi recommended himself and made a circle in front of Qin Su.

"No, find someone else."

Of course, Qin Su knew that this matter was dangerous. She didn't want Shen Yi to take risks in Beijing, but it didn't mean she was willing to let Huaxi take the risk. Once something happened, it would be life-threatening. It was hard to have such a genius doctor as Huaxi to escort her. Qin Su can't use his talents for nothing.

While the two were talking, Prime Minister Shen and Mrs. Shen came.

Qin Su greeted Prime Minister Shen and Mrs. Shen, and after the two went over to take a look at Shen Yi, Qin Su invited the two of them to come outside the screen and told them about his decision just now.

"I know that I have caused Anping to suffer, but the most important thing now is Anping's safety."

After listening to Qin Su's words, Prime Minister Shen and Mrs. Shen were also silent for a while. Of course they knew that Qin Su was on the cusp of the storm, and they didn't know how many people wanted Qin Su's life, and if they couldn't do anything to Qin Su, Then Shen Yi beside Qin Su will definitely suffer.

Although the couple were reluctant to let their daughter stay away, they still nodded after thinking about the safety of their daughter.

"Everything is under His Highness's arrangement, as long as Ping'er is safe and sound."

The three of them reached an agreement, but they didn't see that behind the screen, Shen Yi's eyelids trembled slightly.

It is not suitable for Prime Minister Shen to stay in the palace for a long time, but Mrs. Shen is worried about her daughter, so she stays in the palace and takes care of Shen Yi for a while, waits until the medicine is ready, feeds it to Shen Yi with her own hands, and only feels relieved when Shen Yi wakes up .

After Mrs. Shen left, Qin Su looked at Shen Yi who was sitting by the window in a daze, not knowing what to think, thought for a while, and finally opened his mouth.

"Anping, do you miss Master?"

Hearing Qin Su's voice, Shen Yi turned his head, "I want to find Master."

Shen Yi brought this up on his own initiative, Qin Su couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but looking at Shen Yi's eyes, he always felt that there was something in it that he didn't understand, as if there was something different.

"Anping, you went to see Master, do you still miss me?"

Sitting opposite to Shen Yi, Qin Su looked at Shen Yi whose gaze followed him, and asked with a smile.

Shen Yi just looked at Qin Su and didn't speak.

Qin Su also felt that he asked too much, and shook his head with a smile, "Then shall I take you to Master?"
