"Your Majesty, Mrs. Cao from the Yangling Marquis Mansion is waiting for you outside the palace!"
After a long time, after all her physical strength was exhausted, Mrs. Shen's mood calmed down a lot. When she was about to take a nap, she suddenly heard the report from the little palace maid outside the door.
"What's she doing here again? Didn't she already finish her work for him!"
Although Marquis Yangling was not considered a noble person, the filial piety they paid last time did satisfy Madam Shen.
"Clean up the outside and then let her in!"
Although I don't know what she came for, the palace door was about to close at this time. She ran in in a hurry. Could it be that there was something urgent?
When she thought of this, Mrs. Shen also hesitated a little. While urging the maids to pack their things quickly, she straightened her clothes.
About a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Shen was sitting quietly in front of the window with a cup of fragrant tea in her hand, waiting for Mrs. Cao's arrival.
"I have met Madam!"
Mrs. Cao was also a lady of the family back then. No one would dare to look down on Cao Shen's niece. Entering the palace was a common occurrence for her.
"Have I not finished what you have done? I wonder why you are here this time?"
Mrs. Shen is a relatively straightforward person, and it is not a secret in the circle of ladies, but the more people like this, the easier it is to deal with.
"Madam, I misunderstood. I didn't come here for that matter. It was because I heard that Madam was humiliated today, and I felt unwilling to do so..."
When Mrs. Cao said this, her words stopped abruptly and she did not continue. Instead, she glanced at the eunuchs serving beside her.
"You guys go down first!"
Mrs. Shen immediately understood what he meant, then waved her hand and said to the little eunuch waiting beside her.
"Do you also know what happened today?"
Mrs. Shen asked through gritted teeth.
"Madam, you don't know. After the little girl left the palace, she immediately caused a sensation. Rumors spread among the people..."
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Shen suddenly turned pale, this damn woman!
"Madam, you don't know that because of this matter, some people have begun to spread rumors, saying that in order to ascend to the throne, madam, you specially sent people to deceive the Queen's eyes..."
When she heard this, Mrs. Shen became furious and slapped the table hard with a bang.
"She didn't know what evil she had done, and now she was blinded as retribution, and she still blames me!"
She had already suffered a lot of grievances today, and with Mrs. Cao fanning the flames, Mrs. Shen's anger instantly rushed to her throat.
"Who says it's not the case? Others can't control this person's illness. It's just these stupid men and women in the countryside making wild guesses for no reason..."
I have to say that if the ability of this sinister fan to light up will-o'-the-wisps is divided into different levels, Mrs. Cao's ability is definitely above diamond level.
In just a few words, Mrs. Shen, who had already been teased, was filled with rage.
"Damn it! I'm going to find your Majesty right now!"
Mrs. Shen's face turned livid, and she turned around and left without saying a word. On the contrary, Mrs. Cao sat down leisurely.
About half an hour later, Mrs. Shen returned to her room again with a gloomy face.
"Acting King Liu Deng! If I don't avenge this, I swear I won't be a human being!"
Just now, she eagerly went to see Liu Heng, hoping to talk about her grievances with Liu Heng, but she was told that His Majesty went to the Queen's place tonight, and ordered that no one was allowed to disturb...
Mrs. Shen is now young and beautiful, while Queen Dou is now old and beautiful, and she is also blind.
But tonight, he actually shut himself out for that blind old woman?
This made Mrs. Shen feel a strong sense of humiliation. Liu Heng's years of favor had developed her domineering character. How had she ever suffered this injustice?
"Madam, you are still here to see my jokes?"
Her mood was extremely depressed. When Mrs. Shen looked at Mr. Cao, the intimacy she had just now was no longer there.
"Madam, you have misunderstood again. I am here on an entrustment!"
Mrs. Cao said, reaching into her arms, taking out a silk book, and gently placed it in front of Mrs. Shen.
It seemed that this woman had been prepared, which made Mrs. Shen secretly alert. However, after seeing the content on the silk book, she immediately hesitated.
To be honest, this matter is indeed a bit big, but if it can be done, it can bring out the evil in her heart.
"Madam, don't worry. If this matter comes to pass, it will naturally be to your benefit. But if this matter is exposed, you will just know nothing and just help with a few words..."
Seeing the uncertain look on Mrs. Shen's face, Mr. Cao hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
"Are you sure? You must know that once this matter passes through His Majesty, it will be clear to the sky. If you lose, I will not let you..."
Things are indeed a bit big, and their plan is indeed a bit risky, although on the surface it seems to be impeccable.
But who can tell clearly about such mysterious things...
"Don't worry, madam. If the matter is exposed, madam, just protect yourself!"
Cao said quickly.
"This matter is so big, it's hard to guarantee whether anyone will pursue it in the future..."
Hearing what Mrs. Shen said, Mrs. Cao was immediately overjoyed. She also understood that Mrs. Shen was asking for benefits, but since she dared to ask for benefits, it meant that she was moved by this matter.
As long as he is willing to participate, then this matter will be simple...
The most important part finally became...
"Madam, it's the same pawnshop as last time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wu has prepared fifty thousand taels of silver for you, as well as five hundred acres of the most fertile farmland near Chang'an City!"
Hearing Mrs. Cao say this, Mrs. Shen immediately became elated. It seems that the Wu Kingdom is really a big family. Is such a small favor worth so much?
"If that's the case, let's make an agreement. If the matter is exposed, it will have nothing to do with me, and I will not return these things!"
You still have to say ugly things up front. No matter what, you can't help in vain.
"Of course this is what it should be. Don't worry, Madam. Since Madam has agreed, I won't keep you any more. Please keep this thing away, Madam!"
As Ms. Cao spoke, she took out a pawn ticket from her sleeve and carefully pushed it to Mrs. Shen in front of her.
"The palace door will be locked soon, so I won't keep you any longer, Xiaoxin, take my wife out of the palace!"
After receiving the benefits, Mrs. Shen's face suddenly softened a lot, and her mood improved a lot. It seems that this money can really cure all diseases...
