Chapter 212 Nightmare Victory
No one was seen, so King Xiang and King Zhan were not in a hurry. Anyway, the imperial doctor's place is not monolithic, and after a long time, there will naturally be rumors.

However, the development of things was so fast that King Zhan and King Xiang couldn't react.

Three days later, the East Palace was hanged.

Immediately after—

King Shou returns to court.

Together with King Shou, Shen Qingling and Xue Yu rushed back to Bianjing.

The latter two were summoned into the palace as soon as they entered Beijing, and they didn't know what to discuss, while the former entered the East Palace with soldiers and did not leave the whole night.

"I'm afraid it's because the Eastern Palace is secretive." Xiang Wang paced back and forth in the hall with a somewhat anxious expression on his face. "We have to make a decision as soon as possible. We must think clearly about whether we should move or not."

King Zhan closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair, put his left foot on his right knee, and did not answer.

"Are you listening to me?" Xiang Wang frowned and pressed Zhan Wang's shoulder, "Shou Wang has brought soldiers back now, but there are not many, and this is our chance to do something."

Most importantly, those soldiers who came back with King Shou were inevitably tired after a long journey.

"Third brother, don't you think... so far, everything seems to be going too smoothly?" King Zhan opened a slit of his eyes, looked at King Xiang, and said, "Yes, we have tampered with secretly, but according to Yu With the abilities of the doctors, it doesn’t make sense to delay it for so many days, right?”

In the eyes of King Zhan, all this is more like inviting the king into the urn.

"Are you afraid?" King Xiang looked down at him, and said coldly, "Now that King Shou has military power and prestige in his hands, if you and I don't take action, we really have no choice but to bow our heads and surrender."

There was silence in the hall.

After a long time, King Zhan smiled strangely, and said: "So what if he has military power? The emperor fears him, and military power is a mountain on his shoulders... As for his fame and achievements, the greater it is, the more burdensome it will be."

King Xiang looked at King Zhan for a long time before asking, "Lao Qi, what are you preparing behind my back?"

In terms of treachery, King Xiang asked himself that he was not as good as King Zhan, not even half of it.

Now King Zhan knows that King Shou has another soldier on hand, but he still sits firmly like a mountain, obviously he has left behind.

"Third brother, don't worry." King Zhan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Originally we were ready for him to return to Beijing alone, but now that he has brought back soldiers, my other move will be useful." land."

'Fire' started from Fu'an Palace.

A eunuch on duty tripped over a stone at night, and the lantern in his hand fell down, which actually ignited two clumps of royal grass in front of the steps.

It was enough just to burn the grass, but when the palace people put out the fire, they found two Yansheng puppets buried under the grass.

The birthday characters of the emperor and the prince are pasted on the dolls.

Tired of the emperor and prince!This is not bad!Overnight, there was chaos inside and outside the palace, and everyone was in danger, for fear of being involved in this disturbance.

However, the emperor retained a bit of reason in his rage, and asked the Dali Temple Minister to investigate the matter strictly.

The one who supervised this matter together was Shen Zeng, the Minister of Zhongshu.

When Shen Qingling heard that the Yan Sheng doll was found in Fu'an Palace, she was startled, thinking that it still happened, and then heard that it was Shen Zeng who supervised Dali Temple's handling of the case.

"Other than that? Does the official have other orders?" Shen Qingling asked while holding Xue Yu's hand.

The two of them are in Xue Yu's other courtyard at the moment, so they are not afraid of being overheard by outsiders.

Xue Yu shook his head and said, "The information in the palace is tightly blocked. Depending on the situation, we will not know the inside story until Peng Zhao, the Minister of Dali Temple, finds out some clues."

Shen Zeng was in charge of monitoring, and it was not much different from his previous life.

However, the most important part of this-

As the concubine of Shou Wang, Shen Qingling has nothing to do with Shou Wang, so Shen Zeng will naturally not be the target of Zhan Wang.

In this way, wouldn't Shen Zeng want to escape a catastrophe?
No, absolutely not.

"Speaking of which, is His Royal Highness Shou Wang still in the East Palace?" Shen Qingling asked again.

Xue Yu hummed, and said, "Since entering Beijing, His Royal Highness Shou Wang has not been out of the East Palace. It has been three days... It is estimated that... the prince's situation is not good."

The imperial doctor simply did not enter the East Palace in recent days.

Looking at the situation, what is wrong is that people are gone.

"King Zhan and King Xiang are still in the capital, and they haven't gone to the fief." Shen Qingling breathed out lightly, turned around and sat on the recliner, and asked unsteadily, "What about them? Is Ayu capable of monitoring them?"

It's not that Shen Qingling can't handle this matter, but she needs to pull Xue Yu into her own boat, and let Xue Yu and herself think together.

Back then when he was in Yangzhou, Shen Qingling had already told Xue Yu about Yan Sheng through the words in his dream.

Now the dream has come true.

As long as Xue Yu is not a fool, he should understand the role of King Zhan in it.

"Qing Ling, it's better for you not to get involved in this matter." Xue Yu hesitated, but said, "Originally, your contribution to disaster relief is already enough to blink an eye, if you get involved in this again , I can’t guarantee that there are people who are jealous and want to harm you.”

"What about you?" Shen Qingling looked outside at Xue Yu.

Xue Yu was taken aback by the question, his eyes drooping slightly.

He persuaded Shen Qingling not to get involved, but he himself would definitely get involved, especially after knowing who caused the disaster of Yan Sheng.

"I believe in your dream and everything you told me." Xue Yu walked up to Shen Qingling, knelt down slowly, clasped her hands together, and said softly: "So I don't want you to have any If you want fame and fortune, I have both, you just need to stand in a safe place and wait for me."

Shen Qingling didn't speak.

However, what she was thinking at the moment was how to bring Shen Zeng into the game.

The Shen family is not monolithic, nor is the Xu family. There are a lot of places in these two families that Shen Qingling can do something about. Sometimes, the catastrophe of destruction may only need a few words.

But what Shen Qingling needs to consider most is how to protect herself when the Shen family is destroyed.

After all, this time, she is not Princess Shou.

When she recovered, Shen Qingling patted Xue Yu's cheek with her hands, and said, "I have an idea."

"What idea?" Xue Yu asked.

"You ask His Majesty to participate in handling the case." Shen Qingling blinked her eyes, and continued: "In this way, you have the status to know the progress of the case in a legitimate way."

Ever since Xue Yu returned to Bianjing, he has not asked for any reward for his contribution to disaster relief.

"You want me to use the reward here?" Xue Yu frowned.

"Yes." Shen Qingling smiled and explained: "You don't have a serious official position on the surface, isn't this just an opportunity? It just so happens that the officials trust you again, and once you open your mouth, you will get a third grade officer."

"But I want to ask the official for a marriage." Xue Yu drooped her brows and eyes, a little frustrated.
