Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Qing's respectful words came: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Li and a woman who refuses to reveal her name and whose face is covered with a veil are asking to see you."
When Chen Shen heard this, his eyes narrowed: "Haha, what is supposed to come has finally arrived. Please invite them to sit down in the private room of Tianzihao. I will be there later."
"yes!"
Not long after, there was an elegant room named Tianzi on the third floor of Tianqibao Pavilion.
Chen Shen sat firmly in the main seat, a woman wearing a black veil sat in the guest seat, and the eunuch Li Zongming stood behind the woman in a dignified manner.
From this we can see that the woman's identity is by no means simple.
Chen Shenming knew what was going on and asked: "Li Zongming, you are an old man next to His Majesty, and you have become familiar with me first and second. Why don't you sit down? I wonder who this is?"
As soon as Chen Shen's eyes glanced at the face of the veiled lady, the latter suddenly stood up and then kneeled down on one knee to salute without any explanation!
"This, how can this happen?" Such an action startled the eunuch, and he hurriedly went to help him.
Queen Fu, the majestic mother of the country, would actually kneel down and worship another person in the imperial capital of Daxia. This is no small matter.
If word spreads, it will lose the royal face and the kingdom’s majesty!
"You are not allowed to help me! I am here to ask for help from the Master of Tianqi Pavilion. This is the attitude I should have."
While speaking, the lady slowly took off her veil, revealing a charming and beautiful face - none other than Queen Fu herself!
"Hmph, this woman is really good at showing off. If I didn't know beforehand that she was the real culprit who killed the king, killed her husband, and harmed the princess, I might have been frightened by her behavior at the moment."
Chen Shen sneered in his heart, but his face showed a flattered look.
He raised his hand——
"Buzz!"
A soft mysterious energy lifted him up in an instant: "You must be a distinguished member of the royal family if you can ask Eunuch Li to serve alone. How can I, a commoner, accept such a great gift from you? Please get up quickly!"
After Empress Fu got up, she revealed her full identity and the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, her so-called tell-all was actually directed at Xia Chunqiu, saying that he sent an assassin to secretly poison Xia Yuanlong while His Majesty was having a banquet for the family members of the heroes.
The poisonous woman burst into tears as she spoke.
Chen Shen couldn't help but sigh to himself: "This guy's acting skills are also very good! No wonder some people say that women are born actors."
"Mr. Tulong, I know that you have a good relationship with your husband. Now, Daxia is in a state of crisis. I beg you, please help us and help the Daxia royal family!" Empress Fu begged with tears in her eyes.
It's really a bit delicate.
Chen Shen's face hidden under the dark gold mask couldn't help but sneer, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into a soft and comforting voice.
After the Queen's mood calmed down a little, he got to the point: "Alas! I am also very sad that Your Majesty passed away. But... I have traveled thousands of miles to come to Daxia just to say goodbye to the past and never set foot there again.
The core of the court’s rights.”
"Eunuch Li, you should be very clear about this, right?"
Li Zongming smiled bitterly and nodded: "Indeed. His Majesty has expressed to you more than once that he would offer you high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but he was declined by the Pavilion Master."
Chen Shen smiled calmly: "Haha, that's it."
Queen Fu suddenly became anxious: "This...does Mr. Tulong really refuse to save me?"
But in fact, this woman felt happy in her heart: "Great! As long as Master Tianqi Pavilion, the five-star Xuan King, does not interfere, after I get rid of Xia Yuan, all the civil and military officials in the imperial capital will be at my disposal."
"No one can stop me from taking over the power of the government! In this way, my negotiations with Xia Chunqiu will have more leverage..."
Next, there is Empress Fu's "pretend persuasion" and Chen Shen's "firm refusal" to practice Tai Chi back and forth.
In the end, Pavilion Master Tianqi seemed to be driven into panic and said coldly: "I have made up my mind that I will never join any state affairs again."
"If Queen Fu insists on doing this, we, Tianqibao Pavilion, will have no choice but to find another country to reopen. Please, Queen, please don't force me again."
"This... alas! That's all, that's all. Lao Li, let's go."
"yes!"
Empress Fu deliberately pretended to be extremely disappointed and left with heavy steps.
Chen Shen couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Chacha, you are a circle, you are pretending to look like you!"
As for the chief eunuch Li Zongming, he always had a cold face. He seemed unhappy with the Tianqi Pavilion Master's unwillingness to help, and felt that he was not a loyal person.
Just as the old man followed Empress Fu a few steps behind and was about to step out of the private room door, Ding Qing, who was waiting here, said: "Dear guest, please go slowly." At the same time, he quietly stuffed a card into Li Zongming's hand.
note.
The eunuch frowned, and countless questions flashed through his mind, but he finally put the note into his sleeve...
Half an hour later, there was a secret room in the backyard of the teahouse diagonally opposite Tianqibao Pavilion.
This teahouse is actually Lu Yijian's property, and he personally supervised the construction of this secret room.
At this moment, there are only two people in the secret room: one is wearing a brocade robe and a dark gold mask, the other is slightly stooped, wearing coarse linen clothes, and has some pot ash on his face, as if he wants to use this method to hide the real person.
Allow.
"Master Tianqi Pavilion, what are you unwilling to say in front of the Queen, and why do you insist on making an appointment with me in private?" the old man asked in a low voice.
It turned out that this old man was the eunuch Li Zongming. After reading the note that Chen Shen left for him, he couldn't resist his curiosity and came here.
"Of course we can't do it in front of Queen Fu, otherwise everything will be over! Because that vicious woman is the real culprit who killed the king, killed her husband, and killed many of my disciples!"
"Wha, what?"
Li Zongming was shocked: "Mr. Tulong, do you know what you are talking about?"
Chen Shen smiled slightly: "I know it. It's useless to say more. You should take a look at this first."
"Whoa!"
As he spoke, the young man waved his hand, and a white light suddenly appeared. Princess Qingchan was summoned from the beast bag and placed on the bare tea table.
"Little princess?" This time, the eunuch was even more surprised.
"How could this happen? How could this happen..."
After Li Zongming checked Xia Qingchan's pulse, his face was filled with despair: "Although the princess is still alive, but, but..."
"But he's already brain-dead and has lost his soul, right?"
Chen Shen then continued: "If she hadn't accidentally met Queen Fu who was having a secret conversation with Prince Gong when she was playing hide-and-seek with my other apprentice Ma Jingjing, she would not have been brutally murdered."
"If Ma Jingjing hadn't rescued her in time, the little princess would have become the prey of those elementary mysterious beasts in the fish pond!"
Next, Chen Shen told Li Zongming everything he knew.
In order to successfully defeat Empress Fu, the joint of the great eunuch Li Zongming must be opened.
Otherwise, even if Chen Shen can kill Queen Fu with force and then seize a high position, the Chen family will not escape the infamy...
