Chapter 568 Is this a dream?
Xiao Mengxi's chest heaved, and she wished she could kill him as soon as possible.
But unfortunately, she is unable to take care of herself at the moment. She is not only controlled by the poison, but also threatened by the Wolf King, and even more disliked by His Majesty.
At this point, who can she rely on?
*
After Xiao Mengxi and her group left, Shen Shuyi looked at Qin Xin and said, "Send the East Sea Jade Unicorn to Mr. Liancheng."
"Yes."
After Qin Xin left, Shen Shuyi looked at the maids beside her and couldn't help but ask, "Besides the time at the hunting ground, have I met the Wolf King before?"
Not to mention any intersection, Shen Shuyi recalled carefully and felt that he had only had a few opportunities to meet the Wolf King at a birthday banquet.
Jinzhu and Yuping thought about it carefully and shook their heads: "It seems not."
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Jianpo immediately shook his head: "No."
Shen Shuyi didn't say anything. Could it be that he was dreaming?

At night, Shen Shuyi was sleeping soundly when news suddenly came from the palace.
The person who came was not someone else, but Zhao Dehai's trusted aunt.
"My dear cousin, my master asked me to deliver a letter to you, saying that it was sent by eunuch Huang in the palace."
When mentioning Eunuch Huang, Shen Shuyi immediately became excited.
This eunuch Huang was the one who had cheated Shen Jinglin during the cricket fighting before. He acknowledged the eunuch Huang in the palace as his godfather and lived a pretty good life.
Although this eunuch Huang's status was not as high as Li Yun and Wang Xi, he was also a capable eunuch serving the emperor.
The last time she asked her uncle, he just said that he had saved the life of this eunuch Xiao Huang in the palace several years ago, and he kept it in mind.
Although he may not be completely trustworthy, he is willing to help as long as it does not endanger himself.
After hearing this, she told the news to Tong Guan last time, and only asked Tong Guan to temporarily ask Eunuch Xiao Huang to deliver the message before he could find a way to leave the palace.
Shen Shuyi sat up and opened the letter.
It was called a letter, but in fact, there were only two small words scribbled on it: [I miss my mother so much.]
Shen Shu was in a clear mood, as Tong Guan invited her to the palace to meet him.
What should I do when I miss my mother so much?
When we meet.
But can a child mother enter the palace? Of course not.
So, he wanted to see her.
He is so cautious, I think something important must have happened.

The next day, early in the morning.
As soon as Shen Shuyi handed in the sign and entered the palace, Jiang Li personally delivered the news.
"Mr. Zhou, the censor, is currently impeaching the Qingyuan Marquisate in the court."
Shen Shuyi narrowed his eyes: "What is the charge?"
"The Qingyuan Marquisate hoarded coal, causing the price of coal in Beijing to remain high, making life difficult for the people."
Shen Shuyi sneered: "The Marquis' Mansion hasn't even started selling yet, but some people are already getting impatient."
"Don't worry, the Marquis' Mansion recovered too quickly, and some twists and turns are a good thing."
Shen Shuyi's expression remained unchanged. She had already reminded her younger uncle before, and believed that her grandfather and eldest uncle were well prepared.
"I'll go into the palace first. Do Aunt Tong and Tong Xuan have anything to give to Tong Guan?" Jiang Li immediately handed the two pairs of shoes and clothes made by Mother Tong and Tong Xuan to Shen Shuyi.
"I'll go to the palace first, and you keep an eye on what's going on in the court."
"Yes."
Shen Shuyi dressed neatly, handed in the card to enter the palace, and went to pay a visit to the empress dowager first.
The Queen Mother remained in the same expression. She asked Shen Shuyi about the progress of the investigation. Perhaps she had vaguely guessed something, so she did not urge her.
"This matter is not easy to investigate. It violates your majesty's taboo and is easy to offend people. If you can find out the reason, I will not treat you unfairly."
Shen Shuyi helped the Queen Mother walk around the courtyard: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to fulfill your motherly love."
The words of a loving mother seemed to touch the heart of the Queen Mother. She patted Shen Shuyi's hand and said, "Good child, I have heard about Meng Xi's recent affairs. Your Majesty and I felt sorry for her because she lost her husband at such a young age and her son was mentally retarded, so we indulged her a lot. I never thought that she would be so rampant. It's really hateful!"
Shen Shuyi did not mention the difficulties involved, but just said: "With your support, I have nothing to fear."
The Queen Mother was amused by her: "I like your personality, transparent and not hypocritical."
Shen Shuyi chatted with the empress dowager for half an hour, and when he saw that she was a little tired, he asked to leave.
The Queen Mother said, "You are about the same age as Xiaojiu. Jiuer has a hot temper and has been spoiled to the point of being lawless. I will introduce you to her someday. You can try to persuade her to change her temper."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "The Ninth Princess is innocent, straightforward and cute. There is no need for me to persuade her. If the princess doesn't mind, I can ask her for advice on horseback riding and hunting."
After chatting with the empress dowager for a while, Shen Shuyi said goodbye and made an appointment with Tong Guan to meet outside the shabby courtyard outside the cold palace.
"Greetings, County Lady." Soon, Tong Guan appeared in front of Shen Shuyi wearing a royal blue eunuch uniform.
Shen Shuyi looked him up and down and couldn't help but smile: "You look much more energetic."
Although he still looks thin, he looks less timid. In addition, he has been well-fed and has gained some flesh, so he looks a little whiter.
"But what did you gain?" Shen Shuyi asked in a low voice.
Qin Xin, Jian Po and others were guarding around, watching the movements around them.
Tong Guan nodded and said, "I followed your instructions and sneaked into Lipin's palace. You are right. Lipin has been restless since the shock she received that day, and she invited Madam Chai to the palace to meet her."
"Not long after that, Concubine Li started to plan to steal the account book of Rouxi Palace. Finally, she stole the account book yesterday."
When Shen Shuyi thought about it, he felt it was thrilling and exciting.
As Concubine Rou's confidant, Lipin was trusted by everyone in the palace. In addition, Concubine Rou always thought that Lipin didn't know where the things were hidden, so she did not take any precautions.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li ordered people to set fire to a corner of Rouxi Palace, and then sent her trusted eunuch to steal the account book during the chaos.
"After Xiao Chengzi got the account book, I pretended to escape, bumped into him, and took the account book away." Tong Guan's eyes were firm.
"Did you succeed?" Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows, obviously feeling that this surprise came too quickly and too suddenly.
Although she had arranged everything, how could things be so easy in the palace?
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." Tong Guan also showed a smile on his face, and handed the things to Shen Shuyi calmly.
Shen Shuyi hid the account book in his sleeve and stared at Tong Guan: "Did they find you?"
Tong Guan shook his head: "I was pretending to put out a fire, my face was covered with black ash, and I lowered my head, so he didn't notice my appearance. I also pretended to be lame and deliberately painted a red birthmark behind my ear to attract his attention."
Shen Shuyi raised his lips, in a good mood: "Smart."
Really smart!
This sounds simple, but you can imagine how difficult it is.
But he is Tong Guan after all. He was able to become the head of the Jinyijian in his previous life, so naturally he would not be bad.
Shen Shuyi curled her eyes and asked Yuping to hand her the bag she brought. "This is what Aunt Tong and Tong Xuan brought for you. In addition, I asked someone to bring you two roast chickens and strong liquor."
