After Yuan Zhenhuan left, Xiao Yan in the imperial study began to review the memorials.

Good fortune will never come alone.

At this time, Changguang County in the south suddenly suffered a flood. Zeng Ruming, the governor of Changguang County, wrote more than ten letters in a row to request the court to provide relief.

Xiao Yan put the disaster relief notes in front of him, but he had read them all but had not reviewed them in a red pen.

After a moment, Xiao Yan, who was slightly upset, pushed the piles of folds aside.

At this time, Chao Qi, who had returned from the imperial kitchen, happened to bring a bowl of spoon to him.

"Your Majesty, you drink a bowl of soup and rest for a while." Chao Qi said softly.

Chao Qi, who has served the old emperor for decades, knows everything about his hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful. The sweetness penetrated his throat and relieved his sorrow.

After taking a few bites, Xiao Yan said lightly: "Little Qizi, go to Yilian Palace to invite Senior Song here."

Chao Qi responded quickly, "Old slave."

Chao Qi also knew about the senior Song mentioned by the emperor, but Chao Qi was still scared of this senior.

And the longer the time, the more this happens.

This senior Song's real name is Song Zhen, and is also one of the court's worshippers. His identity in the palace is second only to Yuan Zhenhuan.

But unlike Yuan Zhenhuan, Song Zhen has no mundane affairs and rarely shows up in seclusion in the deep palace on weekdays.

Although Senior Song is a woman, she can’t tell her actual age, and secondly, she still has a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see everything, so Chao Qi doesn’t dare to deal with her on weekdays.

The Yilian Hall where Song Zhen lives is a villa specially approved by the emperor. It is actually quite remote in the palace. But on weekdays, no one is allowed to approach the villa, including the emperor.

Chao Qi remembers that many years ago, two palace maids ran in by chance, and they never saw them again.

Although Song Zhen’s identity is a little lower than Yuan Zhenhuan on the surface, Chao Qi could see that His Majesty had two completely different attitudes in front of this Senior Song and Yuan Zhenhuan.

His Majesty seems to have to respect Senior Song even more.

With a little nervous mood, he stopped outside the Yilian Hall by Qiyi. He asked the doorman to notify Senior Song that it was His Majesty the Emperor who summoned him.

After Chao Qi said that even if the young gatekeeper greeted him in and sat down, he would not dare to act rashly. He just smiled and said that he would just wait outside the door.

Seeing that the concierge could not resist, he had to call his own master first.

Not long after, the young concierge returned, and the senior Song Zhen was also with him.

Although even the old emperor wanted to call her a senior, the court actually worshipped the garrison Youshu and looked very young.

Seeing Chaoqin, Song Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at it. Song Zhen knew that he was the eunuch next to the emperor, but he hadn't seen him a lot of aging for many years. Then, Song Zhen politely called Juchao's father-in-law.

Chao Qi heard this and bowed quickly and said, "Mr. Song, Your Majesty asked me to invite you to the Imperial Study."

After Chao Qi finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to have any eye contact with Song Zhen.

Song Zhen nodded, "I understand. Then go back and pass the message to my father-in-law first, and I will arrive later."

Chao Qi responded and then retreated silently. From beginning to end, he did not dare to look up and take a look.

Although His Majesty the Emperor had never mentioned the background of Senior Song, Chao Qi vaguely guessed that she was not an ordinary person.

When Chao Qi returned to the imperial study from Yilian Hall, he found that the original memorials in front of the emperor were still intact. Chao Qi knew that the emperor was in a bad mood now. He didn't want to disturb him anymore, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, Senior Song will come in a short time."

As he said that, Chao Qi naturally stepped forward and packed the empty bowl in front of the emperor. Then, he slowly retreated from the imperial study without His Majesty's words. Chao Qi knew that His Majesty's mind was in a mess, and either paced back and forth or went to the highest point of the imperial city to have a breath of wind.

Chao Qizi would not be too far away. After he ordered the bowls and chopsticks to others, he continued to wait outside the room, so that he would not disturb the emperor.

If His Majesty calls him, he will hear it immediately.

As a minister and a slave, Chaoqi never felt that he had done enough, and he was afraid that he would not have done enough.

Not long after, the senior Song came to the imperial study alone. When he saw Xiao Yan, Song Zhen spoke directly, "What did Your Majesty call me?"

After seeing Song Zhen, Xiao Yan's sadness was reduced a lot. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Senior Song, please sit down quickly. I didn't want to bother with my senior practicing, but today I really couldn't calm my mind, so I wanted to ask my senior to come and calculate a fortune for me."

Song Zhen asked back after hearing this, "Your Majesty, what happened recently?"

Xiao Yanzi didn't hide it, and then he briefly told Song Zhen about what happened recently, saying everything he could say but couldn't say.

After hearing this, Song Zhen asked slowly, "These things are still related to the person last time?"

The person Song Zhen mentioned was Xiao Huaian, who had been to the Jinyilang prison. Because Song Zhen had also seen him, she still had an impression, but she did not attack Xiao Huaian at that time after Xiao Yan's instructions.

Xiao Yan heard this and said, "It has nothing to do with Huaian for the time being, but this matter is very involved."

Seeing this, Song Zhen said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you understand the affairs of the court better than me, but this time you are too indecisive."

Song Zhen’s words are not harsh, they are just telling the truth.

Xiao Yan immediately said when he heard this: "Senior Song has any advice, please tell me clearly."

Song Zhen said coldly: "Your Majesty, since you are the emperor and have been ordered by heaven, why are you afraid of committing more killings? You didn't do this back then. Did you really forget the feeling of killing people because of the Buddhist Dharma? "

Xiao Yan laughed at himself after hearing this, "Senior is joking. The reason why I am indecisive is just to leave a stable country for my descendants and to leave more available people."

Song Zhen laughed and said, "Would you really be able to keep your Majesty? In my opinion, you can not fight the Northern Expedition, but people must be killed."

After Song Zhen finished speaking, Xiao Yan lowered his head and remained silent.

Killing? He had never thought of such a thing as he was going to end, even though he still had such thoughts in his heart.

Seeing Xiao Yan in thought, Song Zhen said again: "Your Majesty, the world is no longer the world of the previous dynasty. You no longer need to look at the faces of those aristocratic families. When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses and bleed thousands of miles away, and there was no need for a reason."

Xiao Yan stepped back and said, "But senior, the influence of the Jiangnan gentry is still very strong. If I move too radically, it will be bad."

Song Zhen sneered: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. If the Jiangnan gentry is disobedient and kills it, it will be possible. As long as some people die, the so-called Jiangnan gentry will be stable."

Some evil thoughts are not without them, but only one step away.

After Song Zhen finished speaking, he raised his hand and pinched Liu Ren and made a simple divination.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan asked quickly, "Senior, what is the hexagram?"

Song Zhen said lightly: "The situation is not bad, but there must be some twists and turns."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan lowered his head and thought for a while before he said earnestly: "Senior, I may have to trouble you again this time."

"Yuan Zhenhuan can't solve it?" Song Zhen asked back.

Xiao Yan said: "I feel more at ease when my seniors take action."

Song Zhen responded casually after hearing this, and she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take action if I need it."

Xiao Yan stood up and bowed and bowed, "Then it's a blessing for Senior Song."

Song Zhen did not stop the emperor from accepting the gift. Song Zhen looked at Xiao Yan's bent body and suddenly laughed, "Xiao Yan, you are old."

He did not respect His Majesty again, as if the two of them had become old friends at this moment.

Xiao Yan was not surprised when he heard this, and he also smiled and said, "I am old, but you are still the same as you did in the past."

When Xiao Yan was in the abyss, Song Zhen made a lot of efforts. Later, when he inherited the throne and gained strength, there were fewer places where Song Zhen needed to take action.

I don’t know how many years have passed since Xiao Yan begged her again.

Song Zhen smiled and said, "Strive to live for a few more years, don't

Die too quickly. Although I can help you cure worldly diseases, I can't even do such a way to revive your life against the will of heaven and change your fate."

Xiao Yan didn't care anything. He smiled indifferently and said, "In this life, I met my senior and became the emperor and I won't beg for anything else. If my senior sees any mountain in Nanliang and the successor emperor after my death, I will be free after I die."

It has been like this for many years, but the word "freedom" is not that important to Song Zhen.

Song Zhen smiled slightly when she heard this. She raised her arm and touched Xiao Yan's head from the air. If such a move was seen by others, it would be a rebellious act.

But Xiao Yan just smiled faintly when he saw this. Senior is still that senior and he is no longer the same senior.

Not long after that, Song Zhen left. The reason why she stayed in the palace was for Xiao Yan was that the young boy back then was now in his twilight years.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Huaian should be careful. Don't forget how his parents died. Don't think that he didn't know when he was young. Yuzhang County was not far away, so you can send someone to check it out." After saying that, Song Zhen left without looking back.

Xiao Yan stood up and leaned over and bowed his hands as he did when he was young. In Xiao Yan's eyes, his predecessors were omnipotent, and they were always like this.

The rain that had not come in the morning fell in the afternoon, not long after Shen Kuang arrived at the palace.

When Dongfang Mao took Shen Kuang to the hall, Xu Yanran and Xiao Xiang were both there. After a few days, Xu Yanran's impression of Shen Kuang changed a lot, and when Xiao Xiang saw Shen Kuang again, he felt a lot more complicated.

"Young Master Shen." Both of them greeted him after seeing Shen Kuang.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mao was very tactful and told Shen Kuangyu Wanli where he went and said that Xinghua's words could go here in person after he finished his work.

When Shen Kuang saw the two, he also greeted each other.

After Dongfang Mao left, Xu Yanran spoke first, "Prince Shen, please sit down."

After Shen Kuang sat down, he told the two of them about the purpose of this, "Miss Xu, Miss Xiao. I am going to leave Jinling tomorrow, so I am here to resign with the two seniors today."

Shen Kuang also made a blunt statement, saying directly that it was not because of the royal mansion where the two came.

Xu Yanran didn't mind either. She heard this and said, "I haven't thanked you personally when Mr. Shen sacrificed his life to save me last time. I just happened to take advantage of today's Yanran thank Mr. Shen for his life-saving grace."

As he said that, Xu Yanran bent over and gave a bow.

Seeing this, Chen Kuang hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly stopped Xu Yanran, "Miss Xu can't do anything. The two seniors have already told me about the last incident, and I have also received rewards. Miss Xu doesn't have to do this anymore."

After Xu Yanran gave the gift, she slowly stood up and said, "Yanran had some misunderstandings about Mr. Chen before, and Yanran also apologized to Mr. Chen here."

Chen Kuang whispered: "The past are all misunderstandings, just like Miss Xu forgets."

Most of the matters, I don’t care about the last time I rescued me.

After briefly speaking with Xu Yanran, Chen Kuang looked at Xiao Xiang again. The two of them knew each other and walked together. Now it seems that they are not far apart.

Xiao Xiang said first: "Yanran, I want to chat with Mr. Chen for a while."

Although Xu Yanran didn't know why her sister was like this, she still left the space for the two of them.
